As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...
Shui Qing's family continued their lives as usual.
Now that the odd jobs are gone, I have more free time, and I can't just stay idle all the time.
That would be too much of a waste of time.
So the Fan Family School reopened.
One of the main reasons Bai Manshan was able to leave Bai Ziqian in Shanshui Village was that Bai Ziqian not only enjoyed working there, but also learned some knowledge.
It was obvious long ago that Bai Ziqian, at the age of fourteen, wasn't cut out for studying.
If he truly had the talent for studying, Bai Manshan would spare no effort and spend a fortune to pave a path for him to pass the imperial examinations.
Unfortunately, he wasn't.
Therefore, Bai Manshan did not have high requirements for his studies. As long as he had some knowledge, it would be enough for him to go out.
They won't be so empty and devoid of substance in their speech and interactions with others.
Li Huyu had previously considered teaching her son martial arts, but while her son was active, he wasn't cut out for martial arts.
Bai Ziqian, who was neither good at literature nor martial arts, was fortunate to have a business mind and was also fortunate to be an only child, so he lived a relatively comfortable life.
Even Shui Qing thought he was lucky.
Sometimes I have to say, Bai Ziqian, you were really lucky to be born into this world!
In the Fan family school, Bai Ziqian, Yan Qiuxing, Jiang Hehu, and Fan Zhaodi sat upright.
Ling Ran was not on the same level as them in terms of age or knowledge, so he was naturally not included.
Fan Jin was gentle and refined in his dealings with others, but he was absolutely dedicated to teaching and nurturing students.
Children may not know how to do something or may be slow, but they must have the right attitude towards learning and take the initiative to learn!
He treated everyone equally, regardless of gender.
Bai Ziqian and Fan Jiang were caught in the middle, suffering the most.
The former means dislike, the latter means inability.
The two brothers, both in dire straits, wore miserable expressions and preferred to go up the mountain to chop firewood, just like they had done a few days before.
Fan Zhaodi, however, was eager to learn.
The hands that were turning the pages of the book trembled slightly with excitement.
She had never touched a piece of paper with writing on it, and every word on it was incredibly beautiful.
Fan Jin was very satisfied. "Zhao Di, you should learn the simplest characters first. Don't look at the complicated ones."
Seeing complex characters at first can easily undermine confidence and make people afraid to learn to read.
Fan Zhaodi nodded heavily.
My uncle is so kind; even though she could only stay at his house for a few days, he didn't treat her any differently.
Actually, they can be treated differently.
After all, she only studied for a few days, and after that she would never have the chance to touch books and pens again. Teaching her would only waste her uncle's time.
Xinghui looked up at her father and said, "Father, please give my little sister a name too!"
My younger sister doesn't like her name.
Girls probably wouldn't like this name!
Fan Jin pursed his lips, his dark eyes filled with reluctance and hesitation, which finally turned into a sentence: "Wait a little longer, Father will take it when the time is right."
Xing recalled asking, "What is the right time?"
Fan Zhaodi interrupted her, "Second sister, it's alright to wait a bit."
It doesn't matter whether we get it or not.
Unlike her older sisters, her parents would probably criticize her again if they found out, and even say some unpleasant things.
My uncle should have refused; it's good enough that he didn't refuse outright.
Fan Jin straightened his slightly hunched back and ultimately said nothing more.
A girl who is already capable of working and will be able to receive betrothal gifts in a few years is not liked by his elder brother and sister-in-law, but they will value her highly.
My eldest brother's family is living a terrible life. They can't let go of anything or anyone related to money.
