Finally, Jiang Xi took the ten yuan, took out a pen from the package and handed it over. Only then did Pei Hejun retract his creepy stare.

Jiang Xi laughed so hard that she wanted to tease Pei Hejun more, but she soon finished her meal.

After dinner, I have to help my two younger sisters with their homework.

Although they were in the first grade and did not need much tutoring, it was impossible for her to let go completely after seeing parents in later generations tutoring their children almost at the nanny level.

So she just sat and watched.

Jiang Mi’s is okay, all the first graders write in big characters.

She just needs to keep her eyes on Jiang Mi and not lower her whole face down, which would affect her vision.

Jiang Yu would have some problems and ask one or two questions from time to time, but most of the time she could complete the work independently. After finishing the work, Jiang Xi asked, "Anything else?"

"Read the text. The teacher said we should read it three times." Jiang Yu answered immediately.

Jiang Mi hesitated and said nothing.

Jiang Xi was not annoyed and looked at her with a smile.

Jiang Mi bowed his head resignedly and whispered, "It's also reading the text."

Jiang Xi clapped his hands: "Why are you still standing there? Read on, I'm listening."

The two children started reading with their books in hand, just like they were doing morning self-study, except that one read haltingly while the other read fluently, but...

"Wait, how can you read it in dialect?" Jiang Xi stopped them after listening to it twice.

Jiang Yu was bewildered: "No, it's in Mandarin."

Jiang Xi didn't believe it, so she took her book, pointed at the word "bo" (sowing seeds), and asked, "What is this word pronounced?"

Jiang Yu said a pronunciation, which is the dialect version, but the word "种" is the correct Mandarin pronunciation.

She was silent for a moment, and then explained to her: "This word is pronounced bo. It means sowing seeds and broadcasting. Don't pronounce it wrong next time."

Jiang Yu immediately changed his words: "Yes, I know, it means to sow seeds."

She trusted her elder sister, so she naturally changed her words.

Jiang Xi watched her read again. The word "bo" in "sowing seeds" had been changed, but many other words were still in the dialect version. If you had to say it was plastic Mandarin.

She didn't change it, but thought about the content of the class in the original owner's memory.

It seems that all rural teachers at this time are like this.

Because the students here are all locals, they all speak their dialect. Occasionally when textbooks are needed, it is easy to take out plastic Mandarin. The original owner did the same.

It's just that Jiang Xi used the original owner's native dialect in daily life, and there was no need to use Mandarin, so he had never noticed it.

Actually it’s okay, it’s nothing, everyone is like this.

But this reminded Jiang Xi that the educational resources in rural areas at that time were not good, and it would be the same even decades later. She still remembered that two of the teachers in this primary school were educated youth, and the rest had only attended primary school and came to teach.

When the original owner was studying, the policy was still good and the college entrance examination was also in progress, so the elementary school teachers were more outstanding. However, later on, several of them were reported by students, and some resigned out of fear.

The teachers now are all new. They are neither good nor bad and can only teach the students barely enough.

She rubbed her head, feeling helpless.

At this time, where can we find a teacher who can teach in pure Mandarin?

After listening to the two sisters reading the text, Jiang Xi went back to her room. She didn't look very good. Pei Hejun saw her coming back and hurried back to the room. Seeing this, he asked, "What's wrong? Didn't they do their homework properly?"

Jiang Xi shook his head: "No, I just found that the teaching ability of the teachers here seems to be not good enough."

After all, there is no college entrance examination now, and people don’t really take studying seriously. If factory workers were not required to have a junior high school diploma, even fewer people would study.

It was no one's fault for the environment, but Jiang Xi knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed in a few years.

Pei Hejun sat beside her, fanned her with a fan, and said tentatively: "In the schools over there in the military area, the elementary school teachers all have a junior high school education, and the junior high school teachers at least have a high school education, which is pretty good."

Jiang Xi's heart moved and he looked at him.

Pei Hejun tilted his head slightly, revealing a slightly red cheek: "I'm serious."

Jiang Xi smiled: "I know."

I just followed the army and left here with my two sisters.

Seems pretty good?

But should we keep Pei’s parents here?

But if we move away with the whole family, will there be enough room to live?

Jiang Xi was thinking, and suddenly shouted: "Big sister, come out!"

Zhang Hu's voice.

When Jiang Xi and Pei Hejun went out, Zhang Hu, his wife (the original owner's aunt), and the original owner's grandmother were standing at the gate of Pei's yard with the two boys, shouting angrily.

Zhang Hu hasn't been here since he was ruthlessly driven out by Jiang Xi last time. I didn't expect him to come now.

The whole family came.

The two boys who were kicked and hit by Jiang Xi were gasping for breath with red eyes, as if they were beaten quite badly.

When they saw Jiang Xi coming out, the two of them immediately acted like they were alive again, pointing at Jiang Xi and shouting, "Grandma, she was the one who beat me! She even kicked me!"

The old lady who was called out looked even more stern and scolded, "Big sister, come here quickly!"

Zhang Hu and his wife looked at Jiang Xi as if she were an enemy: "Sister, even if you don't recognize me as your uncle, we are still a family. How could you beat up your cousin? Who taught you to do this? How old are you?"

Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi heard the noise and ran out. When they saw the situation, their faces turned pale. They didn't dare to go forward and hid behind Jiang Xi, shouting weakly, "Sister, what should we do?"

Seeing Jiang Xi didn't move, the old lady's face became even uglier: "Big sister, second sister, third sister! Are you guys going to make a scene?!"

Mother Pei thought that this person was an elder after all, so she smiled and said, "What are they doing? It's just a fight between children, right?"

The old lady immediately said in a gloomy tone: "What kids are fighting? Is that a fight? How old is the eldest sister? How old are her two cousins? How could she have the heart to do that!"

Jiang Xi sneered, "I can do that! Who told them to beat my two sisters? They harassed them every day at school, so they deserved to be beaten. What's wrong? What else do you want? Who do you think you are? You came here when you knew I didn't recognize you? Not only did you come here, but you didn't even ask what your two sons did? Do you have the nerve to come here like this?"

The old lady was so angry that her hands were shaking as she pointed at Jiang Xi: "You! Sister, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"

Mother Pei had never expected Jiang Xi to be so wild that she even scolded her grandmother. Seeing the villagers coming to watch the excitement, she hurriedly pulled her and said, "Xiao Xi, don't mess around."

Jiang Xi smiled, pulled her hands away, and said to the old lady, "My father gave me courage. Grandma, what's wrong? Do you want to go and talk to my father?"

old lady:"!"

She was so angry that she fell backwards and said in hatred, "Okay, don't give me a chance, or I'll beat these two losers to death!"

Jiang Xi also said fiercely: "Okay, but don't give me a chance, or I'll make you two eunuchs!"

The old lady felt a lump in her chest, rolled her eyes, and was about to fall to the ground.

Zhang Hu quickly supported his mother and tried to glare at Jiang Xi, but he didn't expect her to be so bold and disregard her relatives. He was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, what do you mean? You beat up two cousins, and we are here to ask for an explanation, aren't we?"

"Then have you ever asked me why I beat them?" Jiang Xi looked at me coldly, "If not, then ask me now. After you have found out, then you can decide whether I should beat them or not!"

Zhang Hu's eyes sparkled as he glanced at his sons. Both of them lowered their heads in guilt. He knew what was going on, but he still said stubbornly, "Can't you just talk it over nicely? My sons have been beaten like this. Look, their knees are torn, their clothes are torn. No, you have to pay!"

Jiang Xi spread his hands and said, "No!"

Zhang Hu was so angry that he almost threw my mother away.

This damn girl is such a stickler, she really won't give it to you if she says she won't give it to you.

But this is something I'm afraid of if I don't encounter it.

He sneered: "Okay, I think you will come over here crying and begging."

He supported his mother and asked his wife to take their son with her: "Let's go back. Let them come over to pay the price next time!"

The old lady was still unwilling to leave, and kept shouting that she was going to collapse here and make the whole family angry to death, but she was still dragged away by Zhang Hu. The eldest sister was now a cruel person, and there was no point in continuing to make trouble, as it would only make people laugh.

After leaving Pei Village, he said, "Mom, they will take the initiative to send money to our house in two days. Don't worry, my eldest sister will pay attention to these two girls."

The old lady looked at him suspiciously: "Why?"

Zhang Hu patted his son on the head and laughed, "Next time you hit someone, remember to do it in school. Hit them hard so they know they are wrong!"

By then Jiang Xi won’t be able to intervene, and the two girls will go back crying. Let’s see if she can still be so arrogant?

The two boys' eyes lit up when they heard this: "Okay!"

"Dad, what good is there in beating him?"

"I'll buy you some popsicles." Zhang Hu said with a smile.

The old lady looked at her grandson and smiled, then complained, "If you hadn't lost your money playing cards, would you have let your grandson suffer? Can't you just stop gambling?"

Zhang Hu's smile froze and immediately became vague.

And the other side

Jiang Xi thought of the obvious threat Zhang Hu showed when he left, and guessed what he was going to do.

Adults shouldn't interfere in children's affairs, and she didn't really beat the two children this time, just two hits, so she wasn't blamed.

But the two cousins ​​of the original owner were not the ones who would listen to a lesson either. In the original owner's memory, there was one time when the two cousins ​​teamed up to steal someone's eggs, and ended up killing the family's chickens. The family wanted Zhang Hu to compensate, and Zhang Hu got so angry that he broke a stick. The two children were in great pain at the time, crying for their parents. However, not long after, they were able to do those bad things again, without any fear at all.

She couldn't really beat the kid up, could she?

If these two children cannot be scared, they will definitely keep an eye on Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi and force Jiang Xi to compromise, which could be very serious.

Jiang Xi never underestimates campus violence.

Especially when it comes to boys against girls, it is even more difficult to resist.

Pei Hejun also realized it, his face darkened: "What are you going to do? How about I pick them up from school every day?"

Jiang Xi shook his head: "You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. If we let our guard down, something bad will happen. And I know those two kids are tough. Beating them won't work. We have to be ruthless."

Pei Hejun warned: "You can't do it again."

Otherwise, if you get caught, you will really be in trouble.

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't."

She waved to Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi: "Come in with me."

The two children followed in obediently.

As soon as I entered, I was stuffed with a handful of candy: "Take this, and give it to the strong classmates who are close to you when you go to school tomorrow, and ask them to protect you. If those two guys dare to come, beat them up! If one beating is not enough, beat them up twice. Every child who helps will get two candies."

Ginger fish, ginger rice: "?"

Is this still possible?

They both nodded solemnly: "I'll remember it!"
