Gu An'an went to the shop first and gave Liu Jiuniang a few instructions.
"Then you should go and get busy. Your child's education is a big deal. If Mingyi can make a name for himself in his studies, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life."
Gu An'an was very modest when she heard this, "I just hope that this child can study and understand reason, otherwise he won't even know if he can't read and will be bullied by others."
“That makes sense.” Liu Jiuniang looked at the departing person with endless emotion. Xiao Gu had done a lot of outrageous things in his younger years, but he is really a good person now.
It is truly admirable that they can admit their mistakes and correct them; it is also a blessing for those children.
He didn't have a reliable father, but at least he had a stepmother who was willing to take care of him.
I just hope that when these children become successful in the future, they won't forget how good Gu An'an was to them.
...
Sun Hanzhou was surprised that Gu An'an had brought a child and a neatly wrapped gift.
He was somewhat flattered.
This was also the first time I had truly looked at this young woman in front of me.
He was of medium height, not too tall, and had a peaceful appearance that was very pleasing to the eye.
More importantly, the man before him respected his teacher and the way of the world, which made him feel a bit more respect for him as well.
“Mingyi, Zhuer, Baoer, the three of you should kowtow to your teacher. Once you kowtow, this person in front of you will be your teacher. A teacher for a day is a father for life. You must respect your teacher and treat him as a father. If your teacher does anything inappropriate, you, as students, should point it out. A teacher does not necessarily have to be better than his students, and a student does not necessarily have to be worse than his teacher. This is what I want to say today.”
Sun Hanzhou nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, finding it truly remarkable that someone could understand this principle.
He sat there, looking at the three children standing in a row below, his eyes falling on Gu An'an standing to the side.
These children are lucky to have such a mother.
Inside the main hall of the thatched hut, Jiang Mingyi stood with his two younger sisters at the head of the group.
He glanced at Sun Hanzhou, who was sitting upright, then his gaze fell on Gu An'an. Finally, he lifted the hem of his robe, knelt on the ground, and performed the apprenticeship ceremony to Sun Hanzhou.
Although she was not familiar with this Mr. Sun, Gu An'an believed that the person she had carefully chosen could not be wrong.
"Disciple greets Master."
Sun Hanzhou helped Jiang Mingyi up. The other two were female students, and he couldn't help them, so he also helped them up, saying, "I've prepared gifts for you."
He was inevitably a little flustered, especially compared to the apprenticeship gift prepared by Gu An'an, the few books he gave to his student seemed rather meager.
For a moment, Sun Hanzhou felt that the gift was somewhat inadequate.
Seeing this, Gu An'an understood the man's subtle feelings, "Aren't you going to thank the gentleman for the gift?"
Thank you, sir.
"Thank you, sir."
The one with a touch of innocence in her voice was Bao'er. She opened the book with great curiosity, her clear eyes wide open. "Wow, brother, this handwriting is better than yours! Did you copy this yourself, sir?"
Sun Hanzhou nodded, "It was written by me some years ago."
"Can you teach Bao'er to write? My handwriting is not good, and I can never improve it."
“You are still young, so it’s understandable that you can’t write well. Let me take a look at your handwriting later, okay?” Sun Hanzhou’s voice softened considerably as he looked at the young female student.
Gu An'an then introduced the situation of several other children.
Jiang Mingyi was undoubtedly the main force in studying. Jiang Mingzhu was originally brought over by Gu An'an. This child herself wanted to be a female general, so she studied, learned to read and write and knew military books.
You don't need to worry too much about your studies.
As for Bao'er.
The child is quite attached to Jiang Mingyi, and spends all day looking for Jiang Mingyi to see his handwriting.
In this way, the child's order was placed before Pearl's.
Sun Hanzhou was somewhat surprised, "This child wants to learn martial arts?"
"Yes, Pearl wants to be a female general. What, sir, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Looking at the calm-looking man, Sun Hanzhou shook his head repeatedly, "That's not it. It's just that this path is more difficult. But even if one wants to learn martial arts and become a female general, one still needs to be literate and reasonable. Madam Gu, rest assured, since I have agreed to be your son and daughter's teacher, I will do my best to teach them and live up to your expectations."
Gu An'an nodded and replied, "I naturally trust your character, sir. I suppose you still have things to tell them, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'm hosting a banquet at Taibai Restaurant at noon, and I hope you won't find it inappropriate."
"Madam Gu is too kind." Sun Hanzhou quickly saw the woman off and returned to his thatched cottage before inviting a few students in to talk.
"I am honored by your mother's high regard for me and her request to be your teacher. Since I have promised your mother, I naturally have to be responsible for your studies. Mingyi, how much have you both learned? You tell me first..."
After Gu An'an left Sun Hanzhou's thatched hut, she looked back at the hut and felt that it was really inconvenient there.
Firstly, the distance is a bit far, and a lot of time is wasted on the road every day.
Secondly, this place is just too messy.
She thought for a moment and decided to find a courtyard for Sun Hanzhou to stay in later, since the apprenticeship gift of only three taels of silver was indeed a bit meager.
Find a suitable place to stay, but not too close to her house, otherwise it might seem like you're being inappropriate.
Gu An'an was lost in thought the whole way when someone stopped her, and she was still a little confused. "Manager Gu, your previous husband's surname was Jiang, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong, sister-in-law?"
The woman grabbed Gu An'an's arm and gestured with her lip, "Is Jiang Yongshan, who works in the county government, your former brother-in-law? Didn't he get a beating yesterday? That's why his wife ran away."
They ran away?
