One of the children stood up bravely again, and then said, "Master taught us to read, but we have a lot of farm work in our family, and I still don't know a few of them." ”

The child scratched his head embarrassedly, and the child below laughed.

"You're all like this? Come if you want to, don't come if you don't want to? ”

"Master, my mother said, do the farm work first, and then come back! Nothing is more important than having a full meal! ”

"Yes, Master, that's what my grandmother said!"

Dai Chengming was sad and felt a little pity at the same time, if only they didn't live in such a poor and backward place, maybe they might be exposed to more beautiful things, right?

He pursed his lips and motioned for the children to sit down, before he spoke: "Your Master Shen is indeed a good master, and you should not regret that you have not learned the Analects, and you should not blame yourself too much. The fact that you can come today shows that every doll is motivated. In ancient times, there were good scholars who hung beams and pierced strands, chiseled walls and stole light, and you also had to learn from others, so that you wouldn't do farm work all your life, right? ”

The children seem to have light and brightness in front of their eyes, they know for the first time from the master's mouth that they can have a different life, these pairs of eager eyes are looking at Dai Chengming, Dai Chengming also feels that he has an unshirkable responsibility, since he promised the county master to come to be this master, then he can't live up to the expectations of the county master and the people in the village for himself, right?

A heart-warming remark made the dolls' hearts drift away, and they seemed to be able to imagine that one day they could go to that prosperous world and return home.

Dai Chengming: "Children, remember, you still have many kinds of life to live, don't give up easily." ”

The children nodded, shocked. Rather than working in the fields, it is so sacred to come here and listen to the Master. They feel that they are so happy compared to those who are ignorant, because they have stepped into the sacred temple of knowledge.

Light and hope were lit up, and the children were more attentive to their lessons. Dai Chengming just wrote a few words with black charcoal on the wall, and the dolls followed one by one and wrote on the desktop with their hands. He was very touched that the dolls here could not afford to use paper, so they could only draw by hand, but it didn't matter, as long as they could read words.

Then, Dai Chengming taught them to read, and the children became even more serious, and reading a word seemed to use all their strength.

People passing by the school couldn't help but stop and listen, this master is really powerful, and on the first day, he treated these dolls who were making trouble at home on weekdays.

Moreover, the sound of reading is several times louder than usual, and you may be able to hear it from a distance.

The people in the village began to have a good impression of Dai Chengming, the new master, who really deserved to be a high-ranking official in the court, although he was now relegated to this place, but maybe he was slandered, and one day he went back, and his doll could still be stained with some light.

This rich day, I'm afraid it's not far away!

Dai Chengming didn't think about it so much, but when he saw these ignorant children, he had an idea of trying to change the status quo for the first time. I am just a person, but if I can help them, then I am a saint, and the sense of accomplishment in my heart is indescribable.

Soon, the dolls' throats were hoarse, but they were very happy, and they all respectfully bowed goodbye to their master before leaving.

Out of the door of the school, they immediately ran home. The shepherd's pastoral song echoed through the valley, and the voices of the villagers who had just returned in the afternoon were even more intoxicating.

Dai Chengming finished this morning's teaching, and the whole person relaxed, but his mind was more about the future of these dolls.

He caught another glimpse of someone in the corner, and he smiled, "Come in, I can see you." ”

He knew it was the girl from last night, because he recognized her slender feet, which were stained with mud.

Xiaoqing was lying on the wall of the school, she never expected that she would be discovered by her master.

"Don't come in yet? I'll ignore you if you don't come in! Dai Chengming said again.

Xiaoqing gritted her teeth, took another step, and then secretly leaned against the door, looking at Dai Chengming curiously with her big watery eyes.

"Which girl are you? What does it look like this? ”

Dai Chengming's magnetic voice immediately attracted Xiaoqing, this is the first time someone has praised himself like this, and he is also the master of the school, the master is well-informed, maybe he is really so smart.

She looked at her feet embarrassedly, because she did a lot of farm work on weekdays, and she felt that the straw shoes were an eyesore, so she simply started to be a barefoot fairy.

Dai Chengming walked to her side, Xiaoqing looked at him with some uneasiness, feeling a little embarrassed, and she subconsciously took two steps back.

Dai Chengming couldn't cry or laugh, why is this girl so afraid of herself?

"Didn't you come to my school just to see what it was like inside? Come on in, there's no one right now. ”

was afraid that she would not want to come in with her, so Dai Chengming walked back by herself.

Xiaoqing looked around again and saw that there was no one around, so she dared to sneak in.

She'd been to this school before, and she was familiar with the things here, she just wanted to see this new master.

When she finally walked in, Dai Chengming looked at her curiously and asked, "You came here, but you want to be literate?" ”

"Ahh I don't, my aunt said that I am not the literate material, besides, can literacy be eaten? ”

As soon as this Xiaoqing opened his mouth, Dai Chengming was stunned, and he remembered that the dolls in the village were different.

"Then your aunt can read?" Dai Chengming asked.

Xiaoqing shook her head, her expression seemed a little unnatural.

"Since your aunt can't read, how can she know whether literacy is good or bad?"

After speaking, Dai Chengming looked at Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing was a little embarrassed, her face was dark and swarthy, even if she was blushing, she couldn't see it.

"You...... You can't tell my mother's jokes! Xiaoqing stomped her feet, if A-Niang knew that she was outside and told others that she was not, she would have to beat someone again.

"I'm not saying bad things about her, I don't want others to try something I haven't tried, in fact, it's a kind of selfishness, you know?"

is so reassuring, but Xiaoqing still can't accept it, she is naturally a little stubborn, she is afraid that A-Niang will beat and scold herself.

"Master, you can't speak ill of others."

"You girl, you can't help but say that I said bad things about your mother, then you have to think about it, it's obviously your own problem, but you want to get involved with your mother, this is obviously you using your mother-in-law as a shield, the worst is still you!"

Xiaoqing was so angry that she stomped her feet and glared at Dai Chengming again.

Dai Cheng Ming laughed, what a "special" woman.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you, I should tell your mother that I'm not going to go back next time."

"I'm not that kind of person!" Xiaoqing said angrily.

"And what kind of person are you? What about the good guys, or the bad guys? You just defended your mother like this, and it seems that you are also a good person. ”

Xiaoqing suddenly lost the desire to continue arguing with him, this master is really powerful!

"Can you teach me to read? But what good is my literacy? ”

mentioned serious things, and Dai Chengming naturally became serious.

"Literate, you can write your own name, and you can also count, so you are not afraid of someone lying to you, right?"

"That's right, but ...... I'm afraid it's hard. ”

"In this world, there is one thing that is not difficult? A spineless person is difficult in everything, it depends on what kind of person you are. Dai Chengming said again.

Xiaoqing immediately lowered her head, and then whispered: "My mother said that I am a spineless person." ”

"Do you really think so? Are you really spineless? ”

"Nope! I'm not like that! ”

Dai Chengming smiled with relief, the afternoon sun shone on his face, and this smile actually made Xiaoqing feel that he was going to get drunk.

Dai Chengming's appearance is already good, and he is still in his prime, and there is a kind of temperament between scholars between this conversation, Xiaoqing's heart is "banging", this "uncle" is really good-looking.

In their Liuyetun, he may be the most handsome, and he is still a master.

This smile was really intoxicating, Xiaoqing didn't dare to look up at him anymore, she had to whisper: "Then you can really teach me to read?" ”

"It's natural to study by heart, and it's naturally okay to be able to write names and do math in a month or two."

"Really?" Xiaoqing jumped up as soon as she was excited, she couldn't believe that she could read so quickly.

"Literacy is just an introductory lesson in reading, and if you really learn to use it, it will be a lifelong thing."

Xiaoqing also yearns for those lives where she can read at night, holding a book, how beautiful it should be.

"Master...... Teach me to read, and I'll steal my corn for you to eat." ”

Dai Chengming didn't know what the expression was on his face, but he felt that this woman was very innocent, without those pretentiousness, the rest was all natural.

"Okay, but you're not afraid that your mother will catch a thief with a stick?"

"Hey, hey, don't be afraid! It's a big deal to be beaten by her, I can read, and I recognize it. ”

"What a brave girl, I admire you! Don't be too afraid, as long as you learn by heart, there is no problem with this literacy. ”

Xiaoqing nodded, her eyes were also full of expectation, like those children, she also longed for a different life.

"In this Liuye Tun, why have I seen a girl from you?" Dai Chengming asked curiously.
