Long Creek Pier.

Hutou, Hunao and Tuzi searched for a long time before they found their uncle and fourth uncle, and they hurried over.

Fu Dabai looked at the children who were running towards him breathlessly, and his heart skipped a beat. He poked the sack on his back to the ground and asked:

"What's wrong? What happened at home? Did the house collapse?"

Hu Tou hurriedly shook his head: "No! Yes, yes, it's Yuan and Niu Wa!"

Tiger Head was panting heavily.

Fu Dabai and Fu Sibai's faces turned pale.

Fu Dabai almost sat on the ground: "What happened to Yuan?! What happened to my daughter?"

The steward, who was about to come over with a whip to urge them, stepped back with his eyes wide open when he heard this, and took out their half-day wages and handed them over:

"Well, if something happens at home, go back and check it out! It will be the same if you come back later. The children are more important."

Fu Sanbai took it and thanked the steward.

The children finally managed to catch their breath.

The rabbit said in succession:

"Yuan, Xingzi and Niu Wa went to someone's school to eavesdrop, and were caught by the teacher there!

Xingzi ran back to look for someone, but grandma and the others were out, and there were no adults at home, so we hurried out to look for her.

Xingzi said that the teacher was very fierce. On the one hand, he praised them for being smart, but on the other hand, he scolded them for being unruly and bad-mannered. He almost hit them with a ruler. Later, he dragged them out of the door and kept looking for revenge!

They said that it was their teachers who taught them poorly and their parents who didn't discipline them well, and they wanted to confront their teachers and parents about it.

It looks like he will not let them go, Yuan and Niu Wa are still in his hands! Uncle and fourth uncle, go and save them!

We don’t know if the fifth brother, sixth brother and Xingzi can find the person yet!”

Fu Dabai just breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but hold his forehead and turned his head twice, saying:

"I don't see them being very fond of studying, so why are they eavesdropping in other people's schools?"

Hu Nao said bluntly, "What? They saw that the school was bustling and couldn't help but go in to join in the fun!"

Fu Sibai nodded: "Ah! That's right! How could those people who don't like studying the most eavesdrop?!"

The two children who didn't like studying were dragged to the dock by the impatient Mr. Chen, and were standing in the crowd not far away, pointing people at Mr. Chen.

"Those are the two." A Yuan said to Mr. Chen with a bitter face, pointing at Fu Dabai and Fu Sibai.

Mr. Chen looked at the guys' attire and the large sack beside them. He hesitated for a long time, his anger subsided, and he thought: No wonder they wanted to eavesdrop...

He looked down at the two children again, and his anger rose again:

That's no reason to eavesdrop!

Mr. Chen angrily rushed through the crowd with his two children, let go of his hands, and bowed before saying:

"It's not okay for a child to eavesdrop like this..."

Mr. Chen was just about to talk about the issue of education.

Fu Dabai interrupted him quickly:

"What you said is absolutely right, sir! These two kids are so lawless because they rely on their intelligence and we don't have time to discipline them!"

Mr. Chen: ...Huh? That's not right! These are my words?!

He took a step back and looked at the man again. He was a tall and big man with a dignified appearance and an awe-inspiring demeanor, but he had a slightly hunched back and a silly smile on his face. He seemed not to be very smart, but his eyes were shining.

This is a smart man.

Looking at the two people next to them, they look somewhat similar, both pretending to be stupid and hiding their incompetence. Only the boy's father has a childish heart, with eyes that are too clear and pure.

Looking at the three children again, each of them exudes spirituality.

Mr. Chen stroked his beard and his face looked much better.

Fu Dabai quickly smiled and said:

"These two kids are too bold, and I'm just a country bumpkin with limited knowledge, so I don't know how to talk to them.

It is very good that you have come, sir. You are obviously a knowledgeable person. You just scold these two children when they have problems, but this is a good opportunity for these three to listen and learn from you.

It's crowded here, sir, please come over here and have some tea to moisten your throat. Don't get angry with these two unreasonable people and ruin your throat."

Fu Dabai led the person to a tea stall nearby.

After hearing what he said, Mr. Chen felt much better. He nodded slightly and walked towards the tea stall with his hands behind his back, not forgetting to carry A Yuan and Niu Wa, the two naughty kids who loved to play tricks like monkeys.

Fu Dabai quickly signaled to Hutou and Hunao, and Rabbit followed suit, and at the same time signaled to the two brothers to continue working, otherwise after two bowls of tea, most of the food for the day would be gone.

Fu Dabai thought about it and realized that Mr. Chen was a man who valued talent. He probably thought the two kids were really smart and that's why he took such a step.

I don't expect to learn in vain, but if I can gain some favor, it will be easier to get a few kids to ask me for advice on a few words from time to time, which will be of some benefit.

Mr. Chen thought exactly as he did. Whatever parents like, Mr. Tianxia also likes to teach.

After catching these kids, he tested them, asked them how long they had studied, and taught them to memorize something else. They really had good memories.

He wanted to accept the boy at that time, but he didn't know if they had a husband.

Later, when he heard several children making excuses for themselves, he got angry. He was angry that they shouldn't have said such things. Even if they made sense, they should have said something more plausible to truly excuse themselves.

He was even more moved at that time. Regardless of whether they had a teacher or not, it was obvious that the other party's teaching was not very good. However, when he saw the family's financial situation, he was still a little hesitant.

He was still not very happy about not accepting a penny for tuition, but what if the child was really a genius, it would be a waste to give up like this.

It would be fine if he let it go and just became a nobody, but what if he was picked up by another teacher and passed the imperial examination? Wouldn't he be so angry that he died?

This kind of thing is heartbreaking just thinking about it!

Besides, in his more than 20 years of teaching, he has never seen a child who can recite most of the content after hearing it once, unless they have memorized it in advance.

In order to prevent this, he deliberately picked a few obscure and difficult to understand articles. They were really able to remember them, and at worst they could get a score of 5, and they could also remind each other.

But... he still looks too poor, but he is smart!

Mr. Chen was torn between a guilty conscience and a guilty conscience, and he drank his tea without saying a word.

Fu Dabai couldn't see this, but there was nothing he could do. He really had no gifts, and the only thing he could offer was:

"To be honest, sir! These children in my family are just too smart, especially the three boys. Those with good memories are worrying.

Their second grandfather and my cousin knew a few words and taught them a little bit. They learned everything in less than two months. Since they had nowhere to learn, they kept clamoring to go to school all day long. A family like ours could not afford to support an educated person.

I was just thinking about saving some money first, but these two kids took advantage of their good memory and thought of eavesdropping, saying that they could remember it in a blink of an eye and it would be the same when they came back to teach everyone!

I thought they were lying, but look at this!

What a huge trouble this has caused you!"

Fu Dabai looked sternly at Yuan and Niu Wa:

"Now you know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! What can you remember by eavesdropping like this?"

Fu Dabai blinked.

Yuan also blinked and responded, not wanting to cooperate with him at all, but Yuan still stiffened his neck and said:

“I’ve got it all down!”

As he said this, he recited everything again. When Niu Wa reminded him of the stuck parts, he recited them smoothly.

Fu Dabai looked at her:

"I can't control you anymore, right? Look at you guys! You can't even remember this kind of stuff, so don't learn from them in the future, understand?"

Hu Tou Hu Nao was stunned for a moment.

The rabbit immediately kicked them twice secretly:

"Who says they can't remember? They remember it very well! Memorize it!"

Afraid that the two stupid brothers would not cooperate, the rabbit secretly said: "If you dare not carry me, I will beat you to death while you sleep!"

Hu Tou Hu Nao: ...Mom! Look at your daughter!

Fearing that he would lose his happy and playful life, Hutouhuoneng stuttered several times on purpose, but Mr. Chen's eyes kept getting brighter as he listened.

"Good!" After the last word fell, Mr. Chen couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "This is a gift from God. With such a disciple, what else can I ask for!"

Yuan:!

"Don't kowtow yet!"

A Yuan kicked Niu Wa next to him and knocked him down in front of Mr. Chen. Niu Wa almost swallowed a mouthful of dirt, but he reacted immediately.

He dusted himself off and stood up, then poured a cup of tea and raised it above his head. His voice was so loud that everyone on the street could hear it. They shouted until their voices broke, then knelt down with a thud:

"Sir! Tea, please!"

The tiger-headed tiger was kicked to his knees by the rabbit, and then he was slapped twice on the back of his head. His head hit the ground with a bang, and a bump appeared on his head:

Dad! Look at your daughter!

Mr. Chen: ...Actually, I was just talking. I didn’t want so much.

Fu Dabai: "Even if these children have the opportunity to ask you a few questions, it will be a great blessing for them. Please give me some time to pay the tuition. We will definitely collect it!"

This is better than nothing. Mr. Chen took the bowl and took a sip:

“Isn’t this boiling water?”

It’s not tea either!

Fu Dabai was very stingy and was reluctant to spend even two cents, so he ordered a bowl of tea for only one cent. It cannot be said that there was boiling water in the teapot, but the color was lighter!

He didn't expect it to be so smooth!

Fu Dabai said hurriedly with a frown on his face: "Wait a minute, I'll change it for you..."

Mr. Chen sighed, "Forget it. Just use the money to buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. Forget about anything else. The etiquette of becoming a disciple cannot be abandoned. Bring the children here tomorrow.

After you become my disciple, don't work with the students yet. Do some cleaning and cooking. When the students are on their lunch break or after school, come to me and I'll teach you. Is that ok?"

There is definitely no problem with that. As long as there is something to learn and some work to do, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if he doesn't teach well, won't you be able to eavesdrop a few times in school?

Fu Dabai, A Yuan and the rabbit were so happy that their mouths were grinning from ear to ear.

We saw Mr. Chen off respectfully.

Hu Tou Hu Nao: The expression on your face when you kicked us just now was not like this!

Niu Wa touched his forehead and said, "It seems like I gained something, but also like I lost something!"

Yuan turned around and asked him, "Did you gain knowledge but lose your freedom?"

Niu Wa: "No! He lost his money! What about the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone he mentioned? And what about the books those people read?"

A group of children looked towards Fu Dabai.

Yuan asked tentatively: "Dad, you must have some solution, right?"

Fu Dabai: ...

"Go, go, go home! It's an adult matter, why do children have to meddle in it? You will definitely be able to go tomorrow. Study hard and win something sooner so that your family can live a much better life.

Go back quickly, we will take care of everything else! Go back!"

Fu Dabai waved his hand to drive them away, then turned around and walked towards the dock again.

Yuan poured out the weak tea from the teapot and shared it with his brothers and sisters. He drank it gulps down, wiped his mouth, and looked at the remaining sip in the bowl:

"Don't waste it! It's not even a penny!"

After saying that, he raised his head and finished it. Then the kids went home with some worries.
