Dong Rong held the money in his hand, his eyes looked at the dry firewood on the ground, he inexplicably thought of the time when he was a child, he studied at Lao Xiucai's house, and other people in the village would also send their children to Lao Xiucai's house.

A bundle of dry firewood, an egg, a piece of cloth, a pound of rice, and a bowl of noodles...... Lao Xiucai relied on the money given by the villagers to support the school, and it was run year after year.

Now Lao Xiucai is really old, and the school is taken over by Lao Xiucai's daughter, and it will be passed down from generation to generation.

Dong Rong retracted his thoughts and handed the copper plate in his hand to Gu Qing: "I am the husband of the head of the family, and I am not the only one who teaches and teaches at home, so I shouldn't collect the money in private." ”

Gu Qing didn't answer, but asked him: "If there are more and more people who want to learn to read and write, what are you going to do?" ”

Dong Rong didn't know how to answer.

He came to teach Gu Yu and Gu Nuo in order to repay the debts that his mother blackmailed Gu Qing.

After the debt to the head of the family is paid off, perhaps, it is time for him to leave.

Next year, Moli will participate in the Autumn Festival, and after he is gone, what will happen to the children here?

There are old Xiucai and old Xiucai women in Dongjia Village, and Gujia Village, now there are them, what about the future?

"Let's create a literacy class, so that more children can know more words, and you will take the restraints they give, which belongs to you."

Gu Qing said, "But since you teach to repay your debts, then I have additional requirements, Gu Yu Gu Nuo does not take classes with everyone, but teaches the two of them alone, and the progress of the class is faster, for example, I hope that in a short period of time, Gu Yu can be proficient in arithmetic, and Gu Nuo can be familiar with three hundred thousand." ”

Dong Rong and they are all children's talents, and sooner or later they will go out, go to Fucheng, go to the capital, and go to the sky that belongs to them to continue to soar instead of nesting in Gujia Village all the time.

After learning three hundred thousand, you can send Gu Yu Gu Nuo to the private school in the town, and you don't need to let them stay here.

Dong Rong didn't know that Gu Qing had thought so far, he nodded and said, "Speed up the progress, then you have to increase the reading time, and you may have to read for an hour in the afternoon." ”

Gu Qing nodded: "You can arrange it." ”

"And." Dong Rong hesitated to speak, "These bundle fees, the food is not mine alone, I want to share it with everyone." ”

From Yang Pei to Moli at home, everyone has contributed, although it is not as much as Dong Rongmo's, but the other two have also done their best.

He also wants to repay the family as soon as possible.

Gu Qing knew that he was a person with a conscience, and did not raise objections.

When it was time to study, the courtyard was lively.

There are more Zhao Erya and Zhou Loach next door, plus Gu Yu and Gu Nuo, a total of four people.

In two rows and two rows, the four children sat in a regular manner, and followed Dong Rong to start studying.

Half an hour later, the sound of reading outside the door stopped, and Mo Li had to put down the book for the time being, he was going to teach arithmetic class.

"Nuno, let's test you first, what is thirteen plus four?"

Gu Nuo's head was full of sweat.

He calmed himself down, stretched out his finger to count, and when he found that it was not enough, he borrowed his finger as well.

Mo Li asked him curiously, "Nuonuo, what are you doing?" ”

"Count." As soon as Gu Nuo spoke, he forgot where he had counted, so he had to start again, "Eleven, twelve, thirteen, count four more...... I see, Brother Ari, it's seventeen! ”

Mo Li almost shed tears of emotion, Gu Nuo would finally forget it, it was not in vain that he had worked so hard to teach for so many days.

Mo Li walked into the back room, opened the cage, and took out an abacus.

As soon as the abacus was taken out, Gu Qing's eyes lit up, and they were finally willing to take out the abacus, an ancient arithmetic artifact.

Mo left his mouth and said: "In the future, count and use the abacus, you don't need to count your fingers." ”

Moli was simply her savior.

Gu Qing actually wanted Mo Li to teach abacus for a long time, it is very difficult for enlightened children to learn addition and subtraction, but learning abacus will be very fast, and after learning how to dial abacus, hundreds of thousands of arithmetic can get the answer instantly.

However, the original body does not learn and has no skills, she will inexplicably propose that the abacus will collapse the person, and she herself is not very good at it, for fear of misleading people's children.

Mo Li put the abacus on the table, and his voice was quiet: "Let's take a look at the structure of the abacus first......"

Several people were very serious, hungry and thirsty to absorb unfamiliar knowledge, Gu Yu even plucked his hand twice, and a strange feeling spread from his fingers to his heart.

Gu Qing walked out of the hall lightly and went to the stove room to boil water for a few people in the family to take a bath.

As soon as she walked outside, she saw a black shadow lying on her stomach at the root of the wall, she was startled, and the black shadow raised her head, revealing Gu Jinyu's face.

"Auntie, it's me." Gu Jinyu said very uncomfortably, "I, I just want to hear what Brother Ah Li is talking about, I'm going to leave ......."

Gu Qing walked over and said softly, "If you want to learn, go in and learn together." ”

Gu Jinyu blinked his eyes and said hesitantly: "But, but my father is definitely reluctant to let me bring an egg a day......

Gu Qing snorted and laughed: "You go in and ask your brother if he is willing to teach you, if he is willing, it doesn't matter if he doesn't take the eggs." ”

Gu Jinyu immediately rushed in, and said with sparkling eyes: "Brother Ah Li, can I learn to read and count with you, I, I will persuade my grandfather to pay for the bundle, I may not be able to take out eggs, but I should be able to give a bundle of dry firewood, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Mo Li said continuously: "You don't need to pay for it, you just take a stool and sit down and listen to it together." ”

He taught the children, firstly, to suppress Dong Rong's arrogance, lest he still feel that he was superior as before, and secondly, the head of the family asked him to teach the children, four students were taught, and five students were also taught, which was not much different to him.

A few boys are very fond of abacus, and they pestered Mo Li for nearly an hour before they stopped.

The night was getting heavier and heavier, and in the middle of the night, Gu Qing was awakened by her stomach.

She really can't go to the dry toilet at home, it stinks, there are a lot of flies, and the manure tank is full of maggots.

Gu Qing lightly took the hoe and went out to dig a pit to solve it, and when he came back, he put the hoe down under the eaves......

"What are you doing, master?"

A voice sounded behind him, and Gu Qing was so frightened that the three souls were about to go out of their bodies.

She turned her head with a smile: "Why did Rong'er wake up, go back and sleep for a while." ”

Dong Rong vaguely saw Gu Qing sweating profusely, tired and panting, in the middle of the night, the head of the family actually got up to work, which was harder than he imagined.

How could he have done nothing in this house before?
