Chapter 59 Aren’t you saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?
"Hey, that's strange. I get to sit on such a nice table and chair."
"Thinking back to the time when I could only watch other people attending classes through the window, I was so envious. I never thought that I could still enjoy myself in my old age."
Song Yunqing listened to the voices inside and knew that everyone was enthusiastic about learning, and he was very happy.
"Look, even though they all say they don't like it, they actually think it's good when they really come into contact with it."
Xiao Jinchuan's attention was entirely on another matter.
"Shouldn't it be time for class to start at this hour?"
"Oh, yes, it was agreed to be nine o'clock."
She remembered that it was already 8:50 when she left the house, and it took her about six or seven minutes to walk here.
It should be about the same now.
But there was still no sign of Tian Siyu.
"Are you sure the notification arrived?"
"Zhao Hu said he would guarantee it with his own life."
Song Yunqing: ...
What kind of people are around Xiao Jinchuan!
"Wait a little longer, maybe something has delayed him."
The two waited outside for ten minutes before they saw Tian Siyu arriving late.
The moment she saw Xiao Jinchuan, a look of shame appeared on her face.
"Deputy Captain Xiao, you're here so early?"
The voice was so soft that it could turn several corners.
"You're late."
But when he was facing Xiao Jinchuan, there was even a hint of unhappiness in his voice.
"I slept too late last night preparing for class and didn't get up today."
Well, that's a good reason.
Xiao Jinchuan didn't know what to say, after all, it was about serious business.
"Then go to class first!"
Xiao Jinchuan took Song Yunqing for a few turns in the yard and looked at the unfinished building.
Tian Siyu looked at their backs with complicated eyes and walked into the classroom with her books in her arms.
The noisy classroom immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Tian Siyu with expectant eyes.
"Hello everyone, from today on, I will be your teacher, you can just call me Teacher Tian."
"Hello, Teacher Tian!"
Tian Siyu stood in front of the podium and gently brushed off the non-existent dust on her cuffs with her fingertips.
Although there was a standard smile on the corner of his mouth, there was an indescribable disdain in his eyes.
She looked around and saw the fisherman's rough hands, the fisherman's wife's clothes stained with fish scales, and the boy's dirty face.
Tian Siyu took half a step back calmly.
Make sure your new shirt doesn't catch any sawdust from the podium.
I changed into this outfit specially today.
That's right, she was not late at all, she was even a little early.
But she didn't know who heard that Xiao Jinchuan had come, so she went home to change her clothes.
Being late is just an excuse.
Looking at the two people standing side by side outside the window, Tian Siyu used her fingertips to break the chalk in her hand.
"Today, let's learn a few simple words."
She smiled, but didn't care about the students' names at all. Her eyes swept over them without stopping.
The chalk scratched across the blackboard, leaving behind a few large characters.
"Serve the people."
"Everyone repeat after me."
The voices of the crowd rang out, and Song Yunqing felt particularly comfortable listening to them.
"A few thatched cottages are located by the water, and I read by the light of an autumn lamp at night."
Xiao Jinchuan was a little surprised: "A poem by Liu Yuxi."
Song Yunqing grinned: "Don't you think it's quite similar to the current scene?"
"Near the water, a few thatched cottages, in autumn, the sound of reading aloud."
Xiao Jinchuan also smiled: "It would be more suitable at night."
The two stood in the corner and listened for a while, and only left after making sure that the course was on track.
The moment they left, the smile on Tian Siyu's face disappeared.
The tone was arrogant.
He wrote a few more words and read them quickly as if completing a task.
"Okay, now everyone practice on your own."
Everyone's enthusiasm for learning has not been dampened, and they are all writing and drawing in their notebooks with great interest.
Communicate with each other from time to time.
Tian Siyu just stood on the podium and watched from afar, her eyes constantly wandering over them.
This money is really easy to make, you can get it just by sitting down.
Ah Yue raised her hand cautiously: "Teacher Tian, I always can't write the left and right strokes of the word 'min' well..."
A Yue's notebook is already full of handwriting, which is neat and tidy, but the characters are crooked, especially those with slightly complicated strokes, which look ugly.
She was a little embarrassed, but when she saw that everyone else's was similar, she felt more balanced.
Tian Siyu looked at her notebook with a faint smile on her lips: "I have written everything I need to write on the blackboard. You just need to write it a few more times. It's like this at the beginning."
After saying that, he didn't even demonstrate to A Yue. Instead, he lowered his head and started looking through the lesson plan again.
Just raising her hand to ask a question had exhausted Ah Yue's courage, and in the end, she was brushed off so easily.
Ah Yue's face flushed crimson, and she was secretly annoyed at why he was asking questions.
She even felt everyone's eyes on her.
With her cheeks flushed, Ah Yue said "Oh" softly and lowered her head again, as if she wanted to see a flower bloom in the book.
Someone nearby murmured, "Your handwriting is already very good. At least it can be seen as a word."
The man took out his notebook and spread it out in front of Ah Yue: "Look at mine."
There were a few crooked strokes written on the notebook. It didn't look like a single word, but more like a bunch of strokes put together.
A Yue knew that she was comforting herself and smiled at her.
"Practice on your own, don't whisper to each other."
Uncle Wang snorted, "Why don't you teach me then? What's the point of just reading it once?"
Uncle Wang also fought for the day shift, giving the reason that his eyesight was blurry at night and he couldn't see clearly. If he fell into the water and drowned, no one would know.
"This is the character. I've taught you how to pronounce it. If you can't even practice this..."
She didn't say the rest of the sentence, but everyone knew what it meant.
If you can't learn this, then you are really stupid.
Awang excitedly held up his notebook and said, "Teacher, teacher, how is my writing?"
He is in his teens and has a younger brother. He has missed the age to go to primary school. He thought that his life would be wasted like this, but he didn't expect that he would actually get the opportunity to go to school.
So he cherishes it very much and wants to seize this opportunity very much.
But facing Awang's excitement, Tian Siyu just looked up casually and said: "Well, it's okay."
Awang thought that he couldn't see clearly because it was too far away, so he ran from the back row to the front and put the notebook on the podium, his eyes like black grapes blinking.
"Teacher, take a look at what's going on."
Tian Siyu glanced at it impatiently and said: "You can barely be considered a calligraphy, go down and practice hard."
Awang was splashed with a basin of cold water, and the smile on his face froze.
What frustrates him is not that his handwriting is not good, but that the teacher did not even look at it.
He returned to his seat dejectedly and wrote those words over and over again.
Less than 30 minutes into the class, Tian Siyu checked her watch and said, "Everyone studied very hard today. Let's take a break early."
The students looked at each other in bewilderment: "Teacher, but we have only learned a few words..."
"Learning is a gradual process. You can't become a big fat man in one bite. Learn slowly and don't rush for success."
Uncle Wang looked at the scrawled words on the notebook and scratched his head in frustration: "If I keep learning at this rate, how long will it take me to understand the notice?"
Tian Siyu heard it, but pretended not to hear it.
For the rest of the time, she didn't teach anything new, and she wasn't even willing to teach the strokes, just telling them that it was enough for them to recognize them.
He let everyone practice with each other and ask each other questions, while he sat at the podium and slowly organized the lesson plan.
Two hours passed quickly, and Tian Siyu quickly left the classroom with the lesson plan.
It seemed as if staying for even one more second would be uncomfortable.
Ah Yue lowered her head to pack up her notebooks, feeling indescribably upset: "Am I too stupid to be able to learn such a simple word?"
Awang is a smart kid: "No, sister Ayue, I can't remember so many words. You have memorized them all. That's amazing."
Ah Yue bit her lower lip and said, "But I feel like Teacher Tian doesn't like us very much."
Uncle Wang took out his pipe and took two puffs. "It's not that he doesn't like us, it's that he simply doesn't want to teach us."
He had been around society before, so she could tell what he meant just by looking at his expression.
"But that's true. They are cultured people, so it's normal for them to look down on us."
"Forget it, forget it, don't wait here, go home and eat."
Uncle Wang was the first to pack up and leave. Although the others had various thoughts, it was difficult to say anything on the first day of class, so they could only leave quietly.
A Yue's child and A Wang's younger brother were still at Ge Jinglan's house, and the two of them walked to the nursery together.
"Sister Ayue, do you think Teacher Tian doesn't want to lead us at all?"
A Yue actually had the same feeling in her heart, but this literacy class was organized by Song Yunqing alone, and they were the beneficiaries, so how could they be picky?
"Maybe Teacher Tian is just that kind of person. We learn our own lessons. Whether she likes it or not, she still has to come to class every day. We are only responsible for taking care of ourselves and learning everything she teaches."
Although Awang has never been to school, he understands most of the principles he should understand.
He nodded heavily upon hearing this.
By the time the two of them arrived at the nursery, the others had almost arrived.
Ge Jinglan's yard is not big. At this moment, more than a dozen children are lined up neatly under the organization of Xu Xiujuan and are walking out.
Every child's face was filled with a happy smile.
A Yue finally felt relieved. She was worried that the child would not be able to adapt on the first day. Now it seems that Ge Jinglan and the others took good care of the child.
Awang's younger brother is a naughty boy. When he sees Awang from a distance, he starts calling him "brother".
They took two quick steps and found that A Yue was the youngest among the children here, and was held in Ge Jinglan's arms and coaxed gently.
A Yue's heart melted as she looked at the peaceful sleeping face.
He quickly took it and held it in his arms, and thanked Ge Jinglan softly.
"Why are you being polite? You're a very well-behaved child. You fall asleep right after being fed. You don't make any noise at all."
Song Yunqing was also watching from the side, and out of curiosity, asked, "How was class today?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Ah Yue's face. Before she could speak, Ah Wang rushed to speak:
