Chapter 4 Reasons for Respect
For the young man in front of her who was only as high as her chin, Wei Jingyi felt a little strange in her initial impression, why did the child in front of her feel like a little adult?
Obviously it's just a teenager who looks like 14 or 5, why are these words, these actions, so ...... Sophisticated?
Well, that's right!
I'm very naïve at this age...... Oh no, it seems that everyone is very naïve at this age, at least in the eyes of adults! Even if you deliberately say something, deliberately do some actions, it will seem very rigid. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It won't be like the teenager in front of you at all.
This kind of smooth feeling is not what it should be at this age!
Some princes and nobles were absolutely decent when they were children, but ...... The young man in front of him obviously has nothing to do with these four words, he grew up in a closed and backward small northern village, there is no professional etiquette master to teach etiquette knowledge, and he has never seen any big scenes......
In other words, the appearance of the old village chief is enough to show that the arrival of his father and daughter is the only big scene in the village for many years, just look at the reaction of the old village chief and those villagers, and even the children!
However, the young man in front of him ...... Why not be a little inhibited?
But I have to say that aside from this strange place, the young man in front of him spoke very decently, and his tone was also calm, neither humble nor pretentious, which was much more comfortable than the old village chief's feeling of flattery.
Like most women who like to think crankily, in an instant, a series of thoughts popped up in Wei Jingyi's heart.
I have to admit that Wei Jingyi was indeed amazed by the young man in front of her, but what amazed her was not how handsome and extraordinary the young man was, nor how majestic and strong his body was, but ...... It seems to be a kind of personality charm...... Obviously he is so young, but he seems to be loved by the whole village?
Wei Jingyi was not sure, and she couldn't tell the wonderful feeling in her heart.
However, the elder Wei Tian reacted first, waved his hand, and replied lightly: "It's okay." We are indeed teachers of Fenghuang Academy, and the reason why we want to find you is because I heard from the old village chief that the qiong berries he brought us were grown by you in the north?
Father's voice finally pulled Wei Jingyi's thoughts back, and she was extremely familiar with her father, and she immediately found that her father must have been amazed by the young man in front of him, because in normal times, the conservative, rigid and stubborn father must first introduce himself, but this time, he didn't.
Before the young man could speak, Wei Jingyi hurriedly helped his father and added: "This is Director Wei Tianwei, my name is Wei Jingyi, you can call me Teacher Wei." ”
After speaking, the corner of her eye noticed that the corners of her father's eyebrows twitched slightly, and sure enough, this was her father's signature action when he felt out of shape.
Looking at Chu Tianyin again, the smile on her face did not change, and Wei Jingyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the young man in front of him didn't know his father, and if he made the future students think that the teacher was a careless person when they first met, maybe they wouldn't choose him...... Huh? Before he passed the talent test, he actually came up with the idea of wanting to accept him! I was even worried that he would not choose him!
Obviously, the northerners don't have much cultivation talent, and their father and daughter didn't plan to recruit eye-catching students this time!
Chu Tianyin didn't know the mental dynamics of the two teachers, he only heard that the two seemed to have a father-daughter relationship? But this is not important, the important thing is that he heard the strong doubts in Wei Tian's words.
This is a kind of questioning that you don't believe at all, and it has the appearance of "you kid can't fool me with any lies".
Facing Wei Tian with a serious face, Chu Tianyin smiled generously: "Yes, I heard what the old village chief said, but he shouldn't have said it completely, to be exact, these agar berries are grown by me in our village, if the two of you are interested, I can take the two of you to watch it now." ”
In the face of doubt, the best way is to let the other party see the truth directly.
As expected, Wei Tian's serious face eased slightly, and the female teacher next to him already had interest on her face.
"Oh, if it's convenient for you, then please lead the way. Wei Tian's words were very direct, but the strong skepticism in his tone had disappeared for the most part.
Although Wei Jingyi is quite calm on the surface, he has already felt shocked in his heart, if he can grow fruits from the south in the north, maybe he has found a small piece of warm and special land, but he clearly said that it is in the village!
Oh my God, this little village is really cold and snowy, not to mention the warm and special soil, she still feels very cold in a house with a stove!
You know, if there is that kind of warm land, no matter how small the scope of influence is, it can definitely affect the entire small village, and the direct result of the impact is that it will not be so cold!
Wei Jingyi remembers very clearly, when Edgeworth flew in the air from a bird's-eye view, the small village could be said to be in full view, and there was a white expanse everywhere, how could there be any warm soil, otherwise, my father would not have been so angry with himself in the guest room, that scene extinguished the last glimmer of hope in my father's heart.
"No problem, please come with me. After Chu Tianyin made a "please" gesture, he took the initiative to turn around and walk in the direction he came, but then turned back and said with a little apology on his face: "Oh, I'm sorry, because of the shortage of land in the village, the place where I planted agar berries was arranged by the village chief to go to the back mountain, and the road was a little far, and it took a lot of time to come and go...... It's snowing right now, if you don't mind, can you let the children go back to the house to escape the cold?"
It is still very decent, Wei Jingyi can even be sure that the opening remarks of the young man in front of her are not taught, she has long felt sorry for these frozen children, at this time the young man took the initiative to speak, she subconsciously nodded.
But fortunately, she hadn't forgotten that the main voice was in her father's hands, and a nodding motion was forcibly broken by her to tilt her head and look at her father.
"Teacher Wei and I also have this intention, just now Teacher Wei is very worried about the children's bodies, but because we are outsiders and have no right to interfere, I didn't let her speak, and it is best for you to take the initiative at this time. Wei Tian very seriously restored what happened just now: "It just so happens that your village chief is also here now." ”
Wei Jingyi's face finally showed a somewhat relieved smile, the rigidity at this time was the only thing she admired about her father.
"Thanks for the concern. Chu Tianyin threw a grateful look at the two, and was a little surprised in his heart, it seemed that the humility of the old village chief did not make the other party feel cheap, and finally had a good impression of these two "high-ranking cultivators", he turned around and saw the old village chief walking over, and said: "Old village chief, I will take two distinguished guests to my place in the back mountain to have a look, you first let the children go back to the house to warm up, and then let the children come out when we come back, by the way, can you help me borrow three umbrellas? ”
"Okay! I'll do it. The belated old village chief didn't say a word of nonsense, and after smiling politely at Wei Tian and the others, he hurriedly turned around and got busy.
Not only was he sophisticated and calm, Wei Jingyi had a more "careful" impression of Chu Tianyin, and she also noticed that this young man's tone was obviously commanding the village chief!
Does this prove that the young man in front of him is really the backbone of the village?
"Please let me go first, the wind and snow are not heavy now, and there is no need for an umbrella for the time being, let's hurry up and go over, someone will send the umbrella later." Chu Tianyin smiled at the two again.
"Very good!" Wei Tian didn't talk nonsense, raised his feet and left.
Wei Jingyi stepped forward and couldn't help but glance at her father, she knew very well that her father rarely praised people, obviously, Chu Tianyin's concept of paying attention to time won her father's favor, besides, how could a cultivator be so pretentious and need to be served? Not to mention a little wind and snow, even a child didn't care about this bit of wind and snow, what was the cultivator afraid of?
Along the way, Wei Jingyi noticed that almost every one of those children was walking to the house to warm up, and looked at Chu Tianyin, she could completely distinguish that there was no tension on the faces of those children, and they definitely didn't focus on their father and daughter, because from the eyes of those children, she could no longer see that kind of panic, and she could even see peace of mind and reluctance in those eyes.
It's so different from the previous atmosphere!
The entire village of Shanyang Village has become panicked because of the intrusion of two strangers in the past ten years, but because of a seemingly ordinary teenager, it has become relaxed again.
This teenager ...... What's the magic?
Wei Jingyi retracted her gaze and looked at Chu Tianyin with a little more doubt in her eyes.
The three of them walked side by side all the way, Wei Jingyi thought that the atmosphere would be affected by the serious and rigid father, but she didn't expect that Chu Tianyin took the initiative to introduce the history of the village to the two while leading the way to drive the atmosphere.
As he spoke, he inevitably talked about the enrollment of students in the north, and naturally talked about the old village chief, saying that in the past ten years, in order to give the kingdom a chance to the north, how many cold eyes and ridicule the old village chief has suffered, how many closed-door soups he has eaten, how many pairs of shoes have been broken by running around, and how many times he has been splashed with cold water...... Only then did he finally convince the kingdom to give the northerners a chance.
Wei Jingyi, who listened, even felt guilty about her initial disappointment and disdain for the village, and she noticed that even her father's expression had become less indifferent.
In the past ten years, everyone thinks that he is incompetent, but he has never given up fighting for opportunities for the children of Shanyang Village because of disdain and ridicule again and again, and he has never given up his efforts...... I vividly remember that a month ago, when the old village chief finally received a written notice from the kingdom agreeing to send teachers from the academy to recruit students, the 70-year-old was as happy as a child, dancing and knocking on the door of the house to tell the villagers that there was finally hope for the children's future...... That night, he was very drunk, and it was probably the happiest day in his 70 years......"
Wei Jingyi noticed that the young man's eyes were infatuated, and even the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved an arc, so he heard him smile and say gently: "He is just an ordinary old man, a countryman who knows nothing about cultivation, he has no personal pursuits, he can support his old age in a down-to-earth manner in the past ten years, but he has been fighting unremittingly for the future of the children in the village. He may be an annoying old man, but in the hearts of all the villagers of Shanyang Village, the old village chief is a great man, and he has 10,000 reasons for us to respect and love. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and Wei Tian and the others had to stop.
Turning to face the two, Chu Tianyin had an apologetic smile on his face, he bowed slightly to the two of them, and then continued: "I'm really sorry, I couldn't help but say so many things that shouldn't be said, I know that the two of them were also very unwilling to be sent to the north, I have a reluctant request, I hope that for the sake of an old man who is about to enter the coffin, can you take care of his mood a little when testing the children's talents in the future?"
