Early the next morning.

A man in a yellowed robe with a cloth bag in his hand walked into the humble room.

"I have only one request, and that is for you to memorize the words on it, then write it down, and then read it to me!"

Lu Changsheng stood in the room, looking at the 'master student' in front of him.

"How old is the Master? Why are students so old? ”

There was a small sound in his ears, but when the middle-aged man had a straight face, no one dared to talk anymore.

The room was empty, and they, the 'students', stood in a circle.

There is no pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and there is no place to sit.

The crowd stood quietly with serious expressions.

The text written by the middle-aged man was one of the 168 words that Lu Changsheng had written down.

"It turns out that this is a pile!"

Suddenly, and then there was great excitement.

It was a long-awaited thrill of harvest.

"It's a bit much!"

Not long after, the middle-aged man suddenly came to his senses, stopped a half-written text on the wooden board, and then sat down on a chair to rest.

"A total of 25 words!"

Lu Changsheng looked at the middle-aged man and stopped, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

Afternoon.

The middle-aged man picked up the wooden plank, walked up to a boy, pointed to the words on it and asked, "How do you pronounce this word?" ”

The boy couldn't speak, so he kept on to the next man with a straight face.

"You come and read!"

"Xu?"

"It's a panic!"

Went to the next one.

The boy had memorized the pronunciation of 'panic', but unfortunately, when the middle-aged man pointed to another word, he was suddenly confused.

This time, instead of continuing to read it, he walked up to another little girl.

"What does this word read?"

"Rain!"

"Really—huh?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned for a moment, and glanced at the little girl intently.

"Not bad! What is your name? ”

"Plum pumpkin!"

The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, asked a few more people, and then put away the plank and walked back.

"That's the end of this lesson!" With that, he walked out.

On the first day of studying, Lu Changsheng sorted out and straightened out 25 words.

While eating, Liang Hu came over with a large bag of steamed buns.

A kid from the Zhao family thought it was for them to eat, and he was hungry, so he stepped forward to get it.

No, a stick slapped the back of his hand.

Liang Hu crossed his waist with one hand, kept shaking, and the corners of his mouth were slightly slanted, "What are you doing!" Look at you, where do you look like a reader? How can you read and read in this way? ! ”

scolded and put a stick against the steamed bun.

"Two copper plates and one steamed bun! Master is not a good person, teaching you to read and write, and providing you with a place to live is to open the eyes of heaven! If you want to eat, buy it with copper! ”

The Zhao family kid glared at Zhao Hu angrily.

This person's name is Zhao Liang, and he is also the role of the head of the child in Zhaojia Village, but he doesn't like to interact with people with foreign surnames such as Lu Changsheng and Wang Heihou.

The anger in his heart was not because he needed to pay, but because Liang Hu's actions were too insulting.

"Hehe, it looks like a temper is not small!"

Liang Hu's face showed a hint of ruthlessness, and he took two steps forward and grabbed Zhao Liang's clothes.

He is over thirty years old and in the prime of life, and Zhao Liang is only in his early twelve, where is there room for resistance?

It was directly raised.

Seeing a trace of horror on Zhao Liang's face, Liang Hu frowned slightly.

"If you weren—"

He seemed to realize that he had lost his words, and quickly closed his mouth and let go of Zhao Liang.

"This is the Master's rule, if you can't accept it, go back!" He shook his head.

······

"Went to four copper plates, and 50 more! It can last for more than ten days! ”

Lu Changsheng did not get involved in the affairs of Zhao Liang and Liang Hu.

I paid directly for two meals of steamed buns.

Seeing that he bought two, Wang Hei Monkey also bought two.

"Changsheng, his steamed buns are a bit expensive, I remember, the steamed buns in the town are only one copper plate!"

Wang Hei Monkey ate one steamed bun and looked at the other with unfinished eyes, but saw that Lu Changsheng and the others did not move, so he gave up this tempting idea.

"Maybe it's because things in Fucheng are more expensive!" Lu Changsheng said.

"How much money do you guys have?"

This question is more private.

At their age, even if they don't understand, the adults in the family will tell them in advance.

But Lu Changsheng needs to see if the three people in front of him really trust him.

"This is the initial stage, and you have to find someone you can trust when investing!"

If they don't, their plans will change.

Fortunately, among the three, only Wang Heihou had some hesitation, but when he saw that the other two had said it, he still said it.

Plum pumpkin has 38 coppers!

Niu Da Zhuang is 90 pieces!

Wang Black Monkey is the most, and there are one hundred and fifty coppers on his body.

Lu Changsheng knew it in his heart.

Wang Heihou's family background is better, and this time the family gave more copper.

Niu Dazhuang and Li Pumpkin have similar family backgrounds, but the situation is also different.

Li Pumpkin's family basically belongs to her semi-free-range state, and it is generous to be able to give more than 40 coppers.

Niu Dazhuang is only left with an old mother and an elder brother, and the elder brother has a deep relationship with him.

And Lu Changsheng here, he gave a part of the gift before, and later, when he was married, he also gave a part.

That's why the difference in copper between several people is so huge.

"In the end, I was killed by that Zhao Xinghua!"

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart.

"Let's read all the words first! Let's see if we can find something to do! ”

Under normal circumstances, teaching a group of illiterate people to read and read and read more than 20 words, I am afraid that it will have to be taught many times.

And the gentleman during the day just wrote it down and asked them to read and write.

With such a teaching, Lu Changsheng himself can keep up.

Sure enough, the next day, the gentleman wrote another row of words on the board.

I taught how to read, how to write, and how to write words.

Before leaving, the test is carried out as it was yesterday.

I asked several people in a row, but I couldn't answer.

The 'master student' looked unhappy, but he didn't say anything, but the few teenagers who were named were full of decadence between their expressions, and obviously, they were not lightly hit.

"Sir, you're so strict!"

"Yes! If you hadn't learned to read and write with Changsheng for some time before, I'm afraid I would have been scolded this time! ”

In the evening, several people get together.

Lu Changsheng gave them a small stick to read and write.

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "It's a good thing that Mr. is strict, so that we will be more motivated when we have pressure!" ”

Wang Hei Monkey muttered a few words, held back his irritability, and practiced calligraphy with a stick.

A group of people were all riveting, wanting to know more words, and if they couldn't become the master's students, they could also rely on this ability to find a job.

But—

"This always feels a little strange!"

Lu Changsheng recalled that Liang Hu's style of acting, but he didn't feel like an ordinary person.

"If that master really wants to pick students, it will definitely be impossible to find such people!"

There was no one to discuss this matter, and Lu Changsheng could only take it to heart for the time being.

"Anyway, you can really recognize words here, even if it's a bureau, as long as it's not life-threatening, it's not a big deal!"

Lu Changsheng said in his heart.
