Moreover, it seems that he would never object to anything she suggested or wanted to do, so he is actually a really good person.

"Well, I'd like to go to the city again. It's getting colder and colder, and I don't know if I'll have a chance to buy some things later." Yin Lan observed his expression.

Without saying a word, Chen Yourun said, "Use that money as you see fit."

Yin Lan tentatively said, "Don't worry about me spending money, I can really spend it."

"I earn money so that you can spend it."

Yin Lan scoffed inwardly. He talks a good game, but who knows what kind of face he'll show when she actually spends the money?

However, Yin Lan felt comfortable now; who doesn't love spending money?

She wasn't just saying it casually. The next day, she planned to go to the county town. The village was scheduled to go into the mountains to kill wild boars the day after tomorrow. With Chen Yourun taking care of things at home, this was the first time Yin Lan could go to the city so easily.

Before, when I went there, I always bought things, carrying big bags and small bags, and I was always thinking about the children.

This time, it was a completely "shopping" trip.

The next day, after breakfast, all the village children came over early, each of them puffing out their little chests with great pride.

When I got home yesterday, my family was sure to give me a good talking-to, since they really didn't know anything about the teacher's abilities.

In the village, Luo Dawang's son, Luo Qianqian, is studying in the county town.

So he was there at the time, and he relied on a few kids to recite the text.

These kids have only been studying for a day, they certainly don't know anything yet. Luo Qianqian was very proud of himself. He was studying at the teacher's place in the county town. The teacher was a genuine scholar, and his tuition was four taels of silver. These village kids couldn't compare at all.

To everyone's surprise, after he said the first line, all the other kids answered with the second line.

Luo Qianqian was stunned; he himself had only just remembered it! How did these people manage to do that? How was it possible?

The surrounding villagers, however, were overjoyed.

Luo Qianqian refused to believe it, saying, "You probably don't know what this means."

His teacher had said that these things were very difficult, and at that time, not many people in the class could remember them. Luo Qianqian was one of the best students who could remember them, so he was full of confidence in himself!

To everyone's surprise, the children who were attending school in the village said they knew.

Luo Qianqian was so angry that she demanded that the children explain their understanding of the meaning.

The children finished speaking with great pride, because the teacher was very skillful in his teaching, using various methods to help everyone remember. And since they had just finished learning, the lessons were very memorable. Also, during breaks, Chen Da would organize a small competition to see who could remember the material the fastest and best. So, in the children's eyes, reading was a very interesting thing: they could listen to stories, have competitions, get rewards for winning, and learn knowledge.

Because of this repeated memorization, they can now easily recite the first few lines of the Three Character Classic and clearly explain their meaning.

The adults were all astonished. Amazing! These kids have only been there for a day or two, and they can already recite the Three Character Classic?

But Luo Qianqian jumped up with a sneer, "Wrong! You're all wrong, you've misunderstood! Sure enough, what kind of good teacher could someone who teaches in a village? He's teaching you all wrong!"

"This line is 'If you don't teach, your nature will become myriad,' it's myriad, not a thousand, hehehe, you ignorant people are just making things up, hahaha..." Luo Qianqian was extremely proud.

Just then, a student from a neighboring village came over. He had heard that Tiejian Village had a teacher, and a scholar at that, so he came to pay his respects. Just then, he overheard the argument between the children.

The villagers sighed, "It seems that cheap things really are no good. How can the village teacher teach such a haphazard way? He claims to be a scholar, but I think he's probably a fraud."

Everyone was agreeing.

The student stepped forward and said, "No."

“This little kid.”

Luo Qianqian thought the other person was going to praise her, so she became particularly arrogant.

“You’re wrong. The other kids are reciting correctly: ‘If you don’t teach them, their nature will change.’ The ‘change’ here means ‘to migrate,’ not ‘thousands’ or ‘hundreds’. You’re not allowed to talk nonsense.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned, but she couldn't believe it at all. "You're talking nonsense. I did nothing wrong."

The student shook his head and took out the book directly.

When Luo Qianqian realized that she had recited it wrong, her face turned bright red, and she couldn't say a word. She bit her lip, turned around, and ran away.

The villagers suddenly realized, but still couldn't quite believe it. "What? The teacher in this village is right, and the one in the county town is wrong? Our village teacher is actually better than the one in the county town?"

The student shook his head. "The teacher would not make such a small mistake. It must be that I misremembered it."

"However..." the student was also quite surprised, "You've only been learning for two days?"

One of the children stood up and said, "Actually, it's the first day. We only started learning the Three Character Classic today!"

The student was utterly astonished. Were these children all geniuses? They had memorized three sentences in just one day and even understood their meaning! Their talent was extraordinary!

The children were particularly proud. "We're nothing compared to them. The eldest child can already recite six sentences. He's the fastest at it. And what the teacher says is so interesting and easy to understand. We all think it's easy to memorize and fun."

The student was completely stunned.

"This...this...this..."

His early education was incredibly difficult, so to make such complex concepts understandable, interesting, and even memorizable for a young child... this teacher is truly amazing.

He had no time to say anything else; after asking for directions, he immediately headed towards Yin Lan's small thatched hut.

The other adults present were dumbfounded. This... the village teacher is indeed very capable.

“My uncle’s grandson went to the county town four or five days ago, and when he came back he still knows nothing about it,” someone said.

The adults all had complicated expressions and were making their own calculations.

Sending their children to school early made them incredibly proud, and they felt they hadn't spent much money at all, practically making a killing. At the same time, they also thought that this Mrs. Yin was a lucky star in the village. She had contributed to the pig slaughtering, and now she had casually saved someone who turned out to be such a capable teacher. She was truly a wonderful person.

Other families who were still hesitant started hurrying home. The men prepared to go back and talk to their wives and parents, tighten their belts, and send their children inside.

The woman immediately ran home to find her husband.

The person who had previously planned to study in the county town and had made a few sarcastic remarks also looked rather unpleasant.

"Is it really that good?"
