Chapter 26: Apprenticeship

"Tiantian is gifted and intelligent, with excellent qualifications, when he grows up, he must be a pillar of talent, if he is greedy for comfort, he does not want to forge ahead, he just wants to be safe and quiet, and although he can't say that he is wrong in his life, it is an extremely selfish idea. The so-called people live for a lifetime, grass lives for an autumn, let me ask, what is the difference between that kind of life and grass and trees? Look at the girl literacy, good conversation, by no means ordinary ignorant women and children, presumably every day the husband and mother must also be the dragon and phoenix among the people, must not be idle, although I don't know why they are not with their beloved son, but I think, they must also hope that their son will succeed in learning, glorify his ancestors, and become a useful talent, right? Yuan Lang said with a solemn expression.

"Hearing Yuan Lang mention Tan Xiaotian's parents, Qiu Ju was in a gloomy mood, this was the pain in her heart, a problem she didn't want to face but couldn't face." What Old Master Yuan taught was that Qiu Ju was taught. She thanked Yuan Lang for what she said, so what's the point of arguing against her even if she uses her tongue to defend it?

"Hehe, in that case, from tomorrow onwards, let's go to school every day. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, he is now the age to lay the foundation, don't delay. Yuan Lang twisted his hair and smiled.

"Haha, Aunt Tiantian, don't thank Old Master Yuan, he is going to accept Tiantian as a disciple. Old Master Yuan is the best teacher in our Meilong Town, and his 'endless learning' is not something that anyone can enter if they want to. "Knowing that Yuan Lang intended to let Tan Xiaotian study in 'Learning Boundless', Tian Dayi was happier than Qiu Ju, and persuaded Qiu Ju to agree quickly, and at the same time did not forget to praise his son by the way (Since Old Master Yuan is very strict in recruiting people, and Tian Qingyou is studying in 'Learning Boundless', isn't it equivalent to his own son, isn't it ordinary?) )。

"This" Qiu Ju was not as happy as the two expected, but showed a little embarrassment, and opened her mouth to speak.

"What? Any questions? Every day, do you want to come to study with Qingyou in the 'Career of Learning'? Thinking that the other party was reluctant to leave his side for a moment because the child was too young, Yuan Lang turned to Tan Xiaotian and asked.

"What? Do you mean studying in the academy with Brother Qingyou? Great, willing, I do! The child's thoughts are not so complicated, knowing that he can read and play with his friends, not to mention how happy he is, Tian Qingyou on the side is also very happy, and the two children are jumping and jumping together.

"Hehe, look, I know how happy the children are to be able to go to school together. Aunt Tiantian, in my opinion, you will agree, don't let the children down. Tian Dayi has his own little abacus in his heart, he is a rough person, he can't recognize a basket of big words, and even the account book of the inn is hard to look at, although his wife is stronger than himself, but it is not much stronger, and now his son is only learning the "Three Character Classic" It is difficult to tutor, and when he learns more in the future, he will definitely not be able to help his son, and Tan Xiaotian memorized "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text" at a young age under the supervision of his aunt, and the writing is also decent. is stronger than his own son, it can be seen that Qiu Ju not only has a considerable culture, but also is very good at tutoring children to study, so if Tan Xiaotian and Tian Qingyou go to school together, they can ask Qiu Ju to help and tutor Tan Xiaotian while teaching their own son.

"This, Boss Tian, you also know my current situation, where can I afford to pay the tuition." Having said this to this extent, Qiu Ju can't help but tell the truth, how could she not know the importance of early education to the growth of children throughout their lives, if she didn't meet robbers and her luggage was not lost, she would definitely try her best to let Tan Xiaotian go to school and study, but as the so-called penny is difficult for a hero, she can't even be a manly husband when she is shy in her pocket, what can she do with a weak woman? So in desperation, she can only teach Tan Xiaotian to read and write, but she also knows that her own knowledge is actually learned by the way when she accompanied Miss to study, and the foundation is not solid, many things are only literate, I don't know its meaning, like the "Three Character Classic", although she can also do it backwards, but many of the allusions and concepts in it are not clear, and there is no way to explain it in simple terms like Old Master Yuan, so although I also feel that it is a good thing for Tan Xiaotian to go to 'Learn Boundless' to study, but you can't study in vain and not pay tuition, right?

"Heh, isn't this a problem, isn't it just tuition, I'll just pay it every day." The problem that money can solve is not a problem, although Tian Dayi is not a particularly rich person in Meilong Town, but it is not a big problem to rank in the top ten, his son is also studying endlessly, can he not know how much the child's tuition is? To him, it doesn't matter at all.

"Ah, how can this work, you are already grateful for taking our aunt and nephew here, how can you afford the child's tuition again, no, no, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't let you break the bank anymore." Qiu Ju waved her hand again and again, resolutely refusing to accept Tian Dayi's kindness - although Tian Dayi is good, he is a 'strict wife', and his wife is a cautious woman, because she has taken in her aunt and nephew in the inn has been somewhat dissatisfied, suspecting that Tian Dayi is not well-intentioned, seeing that he has a little bit of a posture and wants to accept it as a partial house, if Tian Dayi pays the tuition fees every day, will it not cause misunderstanding and make the husband and wife discord?

Tian Dayi was enthusiastic to take the initiative to help, but Qiu Ju was resolute, he refused to agree, and he had no choice, seeing that things were frozen there.

"Cough" coughed dryly, Yuan Lang twisted his beard again, reminding the two people who were in a stalemate that he was the teacher of the 'Endless Learning' school, and what he said was the only thing he said.

The two of them stopped and looked at Yuan Lang together, not knowing what the old master was going to say.

"Hehe, I've thought about this problem, the situation of your aunt and nephew has just been roughly told to me by Boss Tian, with your current situation, it is indeed very difficult to pay tuition, but the cost of reading and teaching is justified, and this rule cannot be broken, so this will not work - there are a lot of chores in the school, cleaning, sorting out books, watering flowers and plants, etc., if the girl is willing, let go to school every day while studying, do some sundries as much as she can, which can be regarded as a tuition fee, what do you think?" Yuan Lang suggested with a smile.

"Uh, Mr. Yuan, you're so nice, I really don't know how to thank you. Every day, hurry, hurry up and kowtow to Teacher Yuan. Qiu Ju was able to accept this proposal, and she gratefully instructed Tan Xiaotian.
