It takes about 48 hours by train from Ruan Niannian's home to Xi County, which means that Ruan's father took the train in the afternoon of the day they called to report, and arrived two days later in the afternoon.
The day after watching Firefly, Pei Yuanzheng did not come to hang out with Ruan Niannian. He went to work.
Ruan Niannian also returned to work after resting for two days. Originally, after Pei Hehui left, there were still four little rascals left, but early that morning, she was shocked to find that Pei Hehui was also there.
"Hey, why didn't He Hui go to work?" Ruan Niannian asked in surprise.
Pei Hehui's face flushed red as he managed to utter, "Working is not fun and challenging. I think studying is more fun."
"Come on!" Pei Jianhui, who usually liked to contradict him, immediately refuted him, "You came here to study because you were too tired from working. If you don't study hard, I'll tell grandma and make you go back to work!"
This threat is serious.
Among the children, Pei Jianhui likes Ruan Niannian the most, because he learns quickly and is often praised by Ruan Niannian. He likes this feeling.
In the past, people always said that his parents were idiots who could do nothing but work. He didn’t understand why people who worked honestly were considered idiots?
Now that he is so good at studying, can he also call those who don't study as well as him idiots?
He was very excited when he thought of this. He really liked this little aunt.
Seeing that Pei Hehui and Pei Jianhui were about to quarrel again, Ruan Niannian quickly called for them to stop.
"Students, let me tell you, learning is not something that can be done overnight. I hope you can all persist, but if you have a different idea every day, I'm sorry, I will only give you one chance here, so you should think it over. If anyone changes his mind and says he doesn't want to study anymore and wants to go out to work, I won't accept him if he wants to come back, understand?"
"Got it, teacher!"
This classroom discipline made Ruan Niannian very satisfied.
Just teach the class. Why call her "little aunt"? That would destroy all her authority as a teacher.
"Okay, now that you know everything, let's officially start the class. Let me review the content of the last math class for you, numbers from 1 to 10 and addition and subtraction within ten. Apart from Pei Hehui, does anyone else have any questions?"
She glanced at the few people and saw Pei Hehui raising his hand.
"Student Pei Hehui, do you have any questions?"
Pei Hehui quickly replied: "Teacher, I understand too. I reviewed it yesterday and I know it all."
Very good, he also knows how to take extra classes to improve his weaknesses, which makes Teacher Ruan very satisfied.
"Very good. What about the other students? Are they reviewing their lessons?"
“Yes, teachers.”
Seeing that they were so proactive, Ruan Niannian asked them to answer some questions from the previous class.
The other children reacted very quickly and could solve addition and subtraction problems within ten quickly. Only Pei Xiaoli was a little slow. She had to calculate slowly by hooking her fingers.
Pei Hehui laughed loudly upon seeing this, "Hahaha, you still have the nerve to laugh at the blisters on my hands with them, and now you can't even do a simple arithmetic by yourself, but I did it without even having to learn for half a day last time."
"You!" Pei Xiaoli was very angry but speechless. She was indeed progressing slowly and could not figure it out as quickly as others, but she also tried very hard. She did not give up halfway as the teacher said. Why did Pei Hehui laugh at her?
"What are you arguing about? Are you allowed to discuss?" Ruan Niannian quickly spoke up to stop the verbal dispute.
She found that Pei Hehui was a really smart kid, even smarter than Pei Jianhui, but his thinking was a little crooked.
Maybe it's because Brother Pei San spoiled me too much.
Ruan Niannian had no intention of scolding him or anything.
Pei Xiaoli's math is a little bit poor, but her handwriting is very beautiful. Each stroke is neat and straight, not like freshly written words at all. Others' handwriting is still in the style of chicken feet, but her handwriting can be vaguely seen in the regular script style.
By the afternoon, Pei Xiaoli can fight back.
After class at noon, she can teach Pei Xiaoli some little tricks.
"Okay, okay, that's enough review. Next we'll move on to a new lesson, addition and subtraction within 20. If you learn quickly, I can teach you how to write vertical forms for addition and subtraction within 100 this morning."
As soon as Ruan Niannian said this, Pei Hehui, who was originally sticking out his tongue, immediately quieted down. He had been threatened and warned that if he didn't listen to Teacher Ruan, he would never be able to study again and would have to go to work.
During those two days, he got a lot of blisters on his hands and was bitten by leeches on his feet.
His uncle is so cruel. He doesn't treat him as a child at all, let alone a nephew!
So he could only rely on himself to grit his teeth and persevere. Although studying was boring, it was much more comfortable than working.
Ruan Niannian was not mistaken. Pei Hehui's talent for arithmetic was much higher than Pei Jianhui's. He quickly learned addition and subtraction within twenty.
Someone must have taught me a trick.
So, after the morning class ended, while Pei Xiaoli was still counting her fingers, Ruan Niannian praised Pei Hehui highly.
"Pei Hehui has made great progress. I would like to give him a red flower as a reward. Please share his learning experience with all of us."
Pei Xiaoli was still concentrating on calculating, but when she heard Pei Hehui was asked to share his experience, she became so angry that her face twisted and she snorted in dissatisfaction.
Pei Hehui's tail was almost up in the air after receiving the praise. He walked over with his head held high and asked Ruan Niannian to help him pin the little red flower on his buttons.
Then he began to share his learning experience, "Actually, my father taught me that it is easy to calculate if you convert these numbers into money. Pei Xiaoli, if you have 10 cents and spend 1 cent to buy two candies, how much do you have left?"
"Nine cents." Pei Xiaoli answered without hesitation.
Pei Hehui continued, "Look, isn't this a very quick calculation? One dime equals ten cents, right? Ten minus one equals nine!"
This... makes sense!
As expected of a descendant of the Pei family, he has an unusual sensitivity to money.
During the following review session, Ruan Niannian discovered that even Pei Xiaoli, who was the slowest, could quickly calculate the answer every time after converting the numbers into money.
Are all the children in this family born to be good at finance? !
She couldn't help but laugh. It was quite easy to teach like this.
Soon, Mrs. Pei, who was assigned the job of collecting grass for the pigs, came back to cook. Not long after, Pei Yuanzheng also came back.
I don’t know how much luggage Mr. Ruan brought with him. He plans to take Ruan Niannian to pick them up in a jeep in the afternoon. He can’t handle his father-in-law alone.
Pei Yuanzheng, who was not at all nervous when he was on a mission to chase down fugitives, was scared when it came to picking up his father-in-law...
