After a brief conversation and getting to know each other, Su Miaomiao found that the other person's knowledge and character were indeed impeccable, but he was a little depressed and always looked listless.
However, seeing that Xu Wenxiu wanted to change the current situation, Su Miaomiao decided to give him a chance.
She made it clear in advance that she would have to try Xu Wenxiu out for half a month. If her performance did not satisfy everyone, she would pay her wages and send her home personally.
Of course, you get paid for one day's work, three hundred coins a day, work five days and rest two days, and you get paid normally on rest days.
Su Miaomiao takes care of my food and accommodation. I live in her study and eat from a big pot with the whole village.
Xu Wenxiu only needs to do a good job of teaching and educating, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else.
This treatment is already very good. Those teachers in the county school only earn two or three hundred coins a day.
I thought I was grateful that they were willing to hire me, but I didn't expect them to offer me such a high salary.
Xu Wenxiu was very surprised and quickly said that his situation was special and that he could actually ask for less wages and there was no need to pay him more because of his sister and brother-in-law.
He wants to make money based on his own abilities, not connections, and he certainly doesn't want people to sympathize with him or feel pity for him.
But Su Miaomiao disagreed, she said righteously.
"Don't underestimate yourself. I'm not paying you this salary because of your sister and brother-in-law. I'm paying you this salary because I think your knowledge and noble character are worth three hundred coins a day. I'm a businessman, and I won't do business at a loss. I also believe that you will not let us and the children down."
A person who thought he was a waste was suddenly recognized and said he was worth the price.
A glimmer of light flashed in Xu Wenxiu's eyes, and she was greatly encouraged by Su Miaomiao's words.
That day, Xu Wenxiu took a car with Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao to Fengtou Village and stayed at Su Miaomiao's home.
The whole village had been waiting for so long, and finally the teacher arrived.
Cui Fangzheng was so happy that he asked people to clean up the empty house and use it as a classroom overnight.
He originally only called more than ten people, but he didn't expect that when the villagers heard the news, they all went to help spontaneously, vying to contribute their own strength.
So overnight, they not only cleaned up the house, but also made a hundred sets of tables, chairs and benches for the children to use as desks.
The next day, Xu Wenxiu heard about this. He used crutches to follow Cui Fangzheng and Xiao Yunfei to the classroom they had prepared for him.
Seeing the carefully cleaned house and the newly made tables, chairs and benches, his eyes became sore.
He was deeply shocked.
Being there, he could feel the villagers' respect and welcome for him, and he could also feel the villagers' strong desire for their younger generations to learn knowledge.
Moved by the shock, they told him through their actions that he was not useless and was a useful person.
"Mr. Xu, our village is not well-off, and winter is coming soon. We can't build a new school, so we can only ask you to make do with what you have for now."
Cui Fangzheng spoke with guilt, fearing that the gentleman from the county would look down on their place and would quit because of the harsh conditions.
Without waiting for Xu Wenxiu to speak, he quickly made the promise.
"Mr. Xu, I've discussed it with the villagers. We'll pool our money to build a school next spring. Everyone agrees. I beg you to persevere for the children. Everything will be fine next year. On behalf of all the men and women in our village, young and old, I want to thank you."
Being treated so sincerely, Xu Wenxiu curled the corners of her mouth and nodded in agreement.
"No problem, I can persevere. No matter how difficult the conditions are, I don't care. As long as I have a place to teach the children, I think this place is good enough. I heard that you prepared for all this all night. You have worked hard."
Hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Said quickly.
"It's not hard, it's what I should do."
How could they feel hard work for the sake of their children? They would only feel that they have not done enough.
After waiting for so long, they finally got the opportunity for their children to receive an education. How could they not cherish it?
Everything was ready and Xu Wenxiu started teaching that afternoon.
From that day on, the sound of reading could be heard in this small village.
The children have started to read and learn to read, and life has become more hopeful.
For several days in a row, the entire Fengtou Village was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and more and more smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
The days go by.
Xu Wenxiu's teaching ability was recognized by the children and the entire Fengtou Village, and he became more and more familiar with the villagers.
A gentleman finally came to the village, and everyone treated him like a treasure. People always cared about him, and when the family got any good things, they thought of him.
The children all respected him very much. They listened attentively in class and treated him with respect outside of class.
The people of Fengtou Village gave him respect and love. Being able to teach children knowledge made him feel valuable, and his life became more and more exciting.
His mentality gradually changed and he became more positive about things.
That day, he took the initiative to find Zhang Xing.
"I heard you're very good at healing and can treat any disease. I'd like to ask you to help me heal my leg."
He hadn't had much hope at first, and he had seen many doctors before, who all said that his legs would remain like this for the rest of his life.
But what if, what if the doctors he met before were not good enough.
Even if it can't be cured, it won't get worse.
With this mentality, he mustered up the courage to ask Zhang Xing for help.
Everyone was quite familiar with each other, so Zhang Xing didn't put on airs and immediately lifted up his trouser legs to help him check.
"Okay, put your pants down."
"Is this the end of the inspection?"
Xu Wenxiu was very surprised, he thought it had just begun.
Zhang Xing took out a piece of paper, lay on the coffee table and wrote the prescription, saying without raising his head.
"Well, don't worry, it can be cured."
"Can you really cure it?"
Xu Wenxiu roared in surprise, he could hardly believe his ears.
He asked cautiously, not wanting to be happy too soon.
"What do you mean by curable? Will I be able to stand up on my own after the treatment? Will I still need crutches?"
Zhang Xing looked up and said calmly.
"If nothing goes wrong you can walk like a normal person."
Like normal people, normal people!
Xu Wenxiu was so excited that her chest heaved violently, and her lips trembled as she was unable to utter a word.
He grabbed Zhang Xing's shoulders and asked with red eyes.
"Really? Can I really walk like a normal person and live like a normal person? Don't lie to me, you must tell me the truth, I can handle it."
Zhang Xing clapped his hands helplessly and said.
"Don't get excited, what I said is indeed true, but..."
Xu Wenxiu's heart skipped a beat. He was very worried about the content of the next conversation.
He asked, swallowing.
"But what?"
