Why didn't Lin Chaoan find it amazing, show any interest in getting to know him, and even run away crying?
How could Lin Chaobei, a man made of cement and steel, possibly understand the self-esteem of a ten-year-old child as a "teacher"?
Lin Chaobei shrugged at Lin Chaonan, then gave Yue Jiuyue a fawning smile before dashing back into his room.
He was afraid that Yue Jiuyue would hit him or criticize him.
Although Yue Jiuyue didn't even bother to roll her eyes at him, she didn't even move her butt.
The teacher had run away crying, so the activity of learning to read was over. Yue Jiuyue and Lin Chaonan put away the papers with writing on them and the blank papers, and then went about their own business.
Well, none of them love studying. They just want to know a few words so they won't be illiterate. They don't need to take the imperial examinations, so why bother?
As for the "little teacher" who ran away crying, he's already ten years old, so it's not a big problem.
Children in rural areas are raised freely from a young age. It's okay to let them go back on their own. Even if they cry, they will explain things clearly. So no one takes it too seriously. What child doesn't cry?
Lin Chao'an cried all the way home, which broke Xiao Wang's heart. But when she heard her son say that he was crying because he couldn't read, she felt like she was about to break apart.
A teacher who goes to teach people to read doesn't know how to read? That's probably just a fantasy.
When the village chief, the clan chief, and the village chief's brother all heard about this, Lin Jianing asked curiously:
"Chao'an, what word stumped you so much that you came back crying?"
He originally wanted to see his nephew Lin Chaoan make a fool of himself, but after Lin Chaoan uttered those words, Lin Jianing realized that he was the real joke.
Lin Jianing looked at her older brother for help, but he pretended to have something to do and went out.
Lin Jianing looked pleadingly at her father again, and well, her father coughed and left.
He could only steel himself and look at his nephew, whose eyes were still red, and awkwardly laugh as he said:
"Haha, they know me, but I don't know them."
Then he pretended nothing had happened and went out.
Surprisingly, Lin Chaoan stopped crying.
Don't think you can't tell just because he's young. His uncle doesn't recognize the words he's saying, nor do his grandfather or father. And his older brothers didn't dare to say anything either, probably because they didn't recognize them. So, isn't it normal that he, being the youngest, doesn't recognize them?
He even wanted to ask Lin Chaobei how to pronounce those words, so that he would be the "most learned" person in the family!
However, in the end, his pride prevailed over everything. He had just run out crying, and it would be too unbecoming of him as a "teacher" to run back to ask his "student" for questions!
Tomorrow, he can pretend to ask a question again, and Lin Chaobei can answer it. Then he'll know how to pronounce those words, right?
This way, he won't lose face, and he can show off when he gets home. Maybe his grandma or his mom will be happy and cook him something delicious. It's a win-win-win situation!
Thinking this, Lin Chaoan could no longer cry. He immediately wiped away his tears and went to his study to read.
He is a "teacher," and he can't afford to be unfamiliar with a word twice. Otherwise, how can he face Yue Jiuyue's family as a "teacher," how can he live up to his father's expectations, and how can he repay the little snacks Yue Jiuyue gave him?
