Chapter 55: Distant Yao
Fu Ruoshui saw that Zhao Yu was really interested, so he told him in detail what he needed to pay attention to as a teacher, and Fu Ruoshui saw that Zhao Yu listened carefully, so he pushed the family he had contacted last year to Zhao Yu.
This family made a fortune selling noodles earlier, and it was only forty years old that they got a single seedling, and they couldn't be spoiled. Although children are spoiled and a little lawless, they still understand the basic good and evil, just because their parents are negligent in discipline and appear to be more stubborn than other children. Although his parents were uneducated and could not read a single word, they understood the importance of learning. According to the child's father, he really lost money when he didn't know how to read and write, and he didn't know how many times he was deceived by those noodle dealers who knew how to write and ink from selling noodles, and then he transformed step by step from a simple and honest man to a 'black-hearted' trader with a delicate heart.
The couple planned to send their children to private schools like other parents. The two of them chose for a long time like headless flies, this one thinks there are too many students, and that one thinks the master is too old-fashioned and too serious... Unexpectedly, a qualified private school could not be screened, and in the end, more than a dozen blank sheets of paper were cut and decided by lot.
The school was settled, and the child's father excitedly took the note to the backyard to find him, and just happened to witness the child sprinkling a soak of urine into the soil in the garden, and it was not too dirty, so he started to get hot directly... My father was stunned, and swallowed with great difficulty, for the first time he felt that there was something wrong with his own education policy, and that he should not be so spoiled. After allβ
Three-year-old peeing and mud, you can really praise him for being cute and smart, six-year-old... It's barely reasonable. But my son is ten years old! Ten years old is the age of enlightenment, and every day is a little face with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on his back to go to the school to see the master... Although he doesn't expect much from his children, as long as he can accept his few stores without losing money... But at the age of ten, I still play with this kind of thing, and I still use my hands directly... I can't say enough!
Although he wants to try his best to maintain the innocence of the child... But when he saw his son running towards him with his little mud-stained hands, he was still deeply frightened: "School! Private! It must be arranged now, and there is no time to delay! β
In just two days, he finalized all the formalities, found the back door and stuffed his son into the private school that was drawn out of lots. thought that with the teachings of the master of the private school, the husband and wife would be able to sit back and relax, but this dream did not come true for two days, and they were hit by the painful reality.
This private school is actually not bad, it adopts a boarding system, and students carry the ingredients to the teacher's house on their backs on the first day of school, and they can do anything, just pay for food. The student's three meals a day, including accommodation, are also in the teacher's home, and the implementation is a 'fully closed teaching', he felt that the way of this private school is very suitable for his son, after all, they can't control him, and they are reluctant to take care of it, and only by keeping it with the teacher can he become a talent. As soon as he was in a good mood, he asked his family to carry more than a dozen bags of flour as his son's 'food expenses'.
Flour is also a precious thing, and the master's family saw that he had carried so much at once, and they couldn't close their mouths with a smile, and swore that no matter how skinny the little boy was, he could teach him how to do it.
Unexpectedly, only three days later, my son was returned. Along with the dozen or so bags of flour, there was even an extra bag - the master's family said that one of the bags had already been opened and used a little, so in order to avoid the trouble of calculating, just return one more bag to your family.
He still wanted to keep it, whatever flour or whatever flour he had, as long as he could forgive his son, but the other party refused very resolutely, politely put down the flour, and didn't say a word, let him shout behind him and burst his throat, and didn't look back at him.
He was angry and helpless, what could his child do when he was so young... As for not giving a retreat at all? He carried the extra bag of flour with a sigh, and he couldn't laugh or cry, he never imagined that the first thing his son was filial to himself was such a source. With all the bags piled up in the corner, he finally had time to sit in his chair and interrogate the child about what he had done during the three days.
The child, who was returned and didn't know it, raised his little face and innocently recounted the great achievements of the past three days, and raised his little head proudly while talking, waiting for his father's praise.
Give someone a pat on the back...
He covered his face in despair and praised him... He was almost out of strength to live, and when he first heard about his son, he still had the idea of beating him for a long time, and when he heard half of it, he felt extremely tired, and after listening to it all, he had only one thought-the teacher actually let him go home with all his beards and tails, what a good temper and good cultivation master.
His own son is so unsuccessful, so he reluctantly gave up the idea of sending his children to private schools - can't his own children not learn well, and go to harm other children, right? Although he is a mercenary businessman, he still has this bit of human ethics. Since the private school is not good, I will invite the master to come to the house to teach. The few masters who spent a lot of money hired were provided with good food, good drink, and good words, but the longest only stayed for a month, and they had to resign, and it was useless to keep them.
In fact, my own children are not particularly annoying... He thought weakly, it was nothing more than that he liked to play too much and didn't know how to read people's faces... And I'm not afraid to say it, I'm not afraid to fight... Hawkers,You can still become a talent if you manage it well...
The stubbornness of his own children is well-known in the master's circle, and there is no master in Anlu City who dares to come to teach, just when he is anxious, the neighbor pointed him out the way - Anlu City will hold a township test every three years, and two months after the release date, some poor students do not want to travel between the two places, so they will choose to stay in the city to do odd jobs. Instead of bothering to ask for the master in the city, it is better to find a student who takes the township test to teach, anyway, it should be enough to enlighten the child.
He thought so, and after the exam, he swept the streets every day, looking for the one who closed his eyes and seemed to be knowledgeable, with a focus on students who could endure hardships.
Fu Ruoshui was the student he picked.
... ...
After the story was told, Fu Ruoshui looked at Zhao Yu who was shocked on the other side, and said with a wry smile: "Now Brother Zhao knows why I chose to leave Anlu City, and wait for the release day to come, right?" β
Zhao Yu nodded with empathy, looked at Fu Ruoshui sympathetically, not to mention such a difficult child to teach, Brother Fu almost came over in the past two months...
Fu Ruoshui held Zhao Yu's hand with a sincere expression: "Although I'm not doing well over there... But this kid is really not a bad boy! I promise! He swore by the curse of heaven and earth. It's just like his father said, he likes to play too much and doesn't know how to read people's faces. Although he is more than ten years old, he can't find much in the world with a three-year-old child. β
"I can actually understand this child, he just thinks that I am too young, I look like his brother, I am always distracted, I can't learn. I have a young face, and this child is relatively young in heart... In fact, it's all to blame for his parents not teaching him well. A shallow smile appeared on his face, "Although I had a hard time in those two months, and even wanted to pick a child several times, but when I left, the child was still in tears, saying that he was reluctant to let me go." β
"His father and mother are very good, and they give a lot of money. I have also exchanged letters with them in the past three years, and I am still worried about my children's studies based on the meaning of their letters. Fu Ruoshui looked at Zhao Yu's eyes and was quite sincere, "Brother Zhao, what do you think?" Now that three years have passed, the child must be more sensible than before, and with my recommendation, it will definitely not be a problem for you to become a master. β
Zhao Yu looked at Fu Ruoshui's eyes and said slowly: "Since that's the case, why did Brother Fu push it to me?" Since that kid is more familiar with you, and he is also a lot more well-behaved, it is better to go to Brother Fu to be a master..."Before the words fell, I saw Fu Ruoshui's face change suddenly, obviously the shadow left on him by his teaching career three years ago has not yet dissipated...
"Okay, Brother Fu." Zhao Yu smiled, "The meal is almost finished, and I will trouble you to introduce me in a while." β
"Hey?!!" Fu Ruoshui's childlike face suddenly brightened, and his eyes brightened as he looked at him, "Brother Zhao, are you sure?" β
Zhao Yu nodded helplessly, if he went to be a master, his food and accommodation problems would be solved, and he could still stay in Anlu City and wait for the release of the list, even if the front was more difficult than the sword mountain and the sea of fire... He has to get over too.
Told the shopkeeper Wang of the decision and refused his retention, Zhao Yu went back to the room to pack his things. When he came out again, he took two letters in his hand, raised Fu Ruoshui, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu, before you are introduced, you will accompany you to the post station." β
Fu Ruoshui naturally agreed.
When he arrived at the post station, Fu Ruoshui saw that Zhao Yu's two letters were sent to different people in the same place, so he asked with some curiosity: "These two people... Is it Brother Zhao's friend? β
Zhao Yu was filling out the form at the counter, and when he heard this, he smiled gently, he shook his head and said, "It's family." More than just friends. β
After sending the letter, Zhao Yu went to the home of the 'bear child' under the leadership of Fu Ruoshui. Fu Ruoshui told him that the bear child has a single name, and it is good to call him Ah Yao on weekdays. I'm already fourteen years old, so I should be much better than three years ago. He said it so sincerely that Zhao Yu almost believed itβif he hadn't seen his weak eyes and repeated the words of 'good teaching' too many times.
Because of Fu Ruoshui's recommendation, Ah Yao's parents quickly accepted Zhao Yu, but their words also revealed their regret that Fu Ruoshui could not continue to teach Ah Yao.
Zhao Yu walked around the courtyard, and the people in Ah Yao's family, from his parents and elders to the little maids, all recognized him, but he didn't see the main owner Ah Yao, he asked Ah Yao's mother euphemistically where Ah Yao went, but he didn't expect the other party to turn his eyes away with a weak heart: "That child... It should be digging a bird's nest in the back mountain, right? Don't worry, if he doesn't come back for dinner, he'll be back early tomorrow morning! β
Zhao Yu: "... Yes. β
At dinner, Zhao Yu finally met the legendary Ah Yao, who looked like a tall and thin smart child, his eyes were as black and translucent as grapes, and he was liked just by looking at it, if... The clothes he wore were not tattered and dirty.
Ah Yao glanced at the newly arrived master teacher, smiled and shouted, 'Hello master', and wanted to catch the dishes on the table to eat.
Really... The future is tough...
Zhao Yu thought sadly.
