Lin Xuanjiao didn't know what to say. Song Yingan was really too honest.
"No need! I'm not teaching you all day long. I only teach you when we have free time. Besides, teachers give out books, but you get nothing for tuition."
"Yes!" Song Ying'an didn't hesitate at all after hearing what Lin Xuanjiao said. He only thought about not letting Lin Xuanjiao suffer any loss.
Lin Xuanjiao, unable to convince Song Ying'an, felt a headache. Hadn't Song Ying'an always listened to her before? Why didn't he listen to her now? It turned out that disobedience was such a headache.
But Lin Xuanjiao had no choice. Seeing how determined Song Ying'an was, even if she tried to tempt him by saying that she would not pay him if he gave her tuition, it would probably not work.
Lin Xuanjiao could sense Song Ying'an's desire for reading, so she didn't think about not teaching Song Ying'an. Now it seems that she can only follow his method.
"Alright then! If you want to pay the tuition, then pay it! Just follow the village rate. If you give me more, I won't take it! Don't try to trick me by thinking I don't know the situation at the village primary school. I'll ask the students and they'll tell you."
Song Ying'an immediately gave up the idea of giving Lin Xuanjiao more money. He had seen how Lin Xuanjiao mingled with those children. If Lin Xuanjiao asked about the situation in their village primary school, those children would definitely tell her without hiding anything.
Thinking about the situation at the village primary school, Song Ying'an fished out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xuanjiao: "This is the tuition for the village primary school, which covers one year."
Lin Xuanjiao accepted the dollar. Even though she was trying hard to adapt to this world, the prices in this world still shocked her more than once. The tuition here was only one dollar now. The times were developing too fast. People nowadays would never have imagined that tuition fees would be tens of thousands in the future.
Lin Xuanjiao sighed inwardly and accepted the dollar with a complicated look on her face.
Song Ying'an noticed the expression on Lin Xuanjiao's face and felt a little confused. This time he planned to ask because he felt that Lin Xuanjiao should not be angry now and asking would not make her angry. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Song Ying'an asked.
"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? Why do you have such a complicated expression on your face?"
Lin Xuanjiao snapped out of her thoughts and listened to Song Ying'an's worried words. Even though she felt that Song Ying'an was a little inconsiderate, she still found an excuse to fool them. After all, she couldn't say she was thinking about the future! Even if she did, Song Ying'an would probably think she was crazy.
"I'm just worried that I won't be able to teach well the first time and your tuition will be wasted."
Song Ying'an didn't doubt Lin Xuanjiao's words and followed her lead, saying, "I think I should worry about myself first. I've never been exposed to this before. If I fool you while you're teaching me, please don't be angry."
Lin Xuanjiao nodded and encouraged, "This is our first time, so let's all work hard together."
Song Ying'an nodded heavily, showing his firm heart.
Lin Xuanjiao wanted to laugh when she saw Song Ying'an like this, but she held it back. What if this inconsiderate man asked her what she was laughing at? What excuse would she make to get away with it then?
"Since we've already paid the tuition, let's start now! It's still light and we can see a little bit."
Song Ying'an did not refuse. Just like Lin Xuanjiao said, it was still light outside, so it was the perfect time to learn to read.
Lin Xuanjiao originally wanted to teach Song Yingan the simplest start, but for some reason her mind had its own ideas, making her want to start teaching from her own name. She wanted Song Yingan to learn her last name as the first word.
When Lin Xuanjiao realized her own thoughts, she was shocked. Why did she come up with such a strange idea? And she didn't even object to it.
Looking at the clueless Song Ying'an, Lin Xuanjiao felt very melancholy. Could it be that she was already doomed? It couldn't be possible! She had always believed that she was obsessed with looks and would not be moved by someone whose appearance she had not seen.
Impossible! This could all be a misunderstanding. Lin Xuanjiao shook off these thoughts and wanted to devote all her energy to teaching Song Yingan to read.
Lin Xuanjiao had originally decided to teach Song Yingan starting from the simplest steps, but her body refused to obey her.
Lin Xuanjiao came here to eat, so naturally she didn't bring any paper or pen with her. Now she could only teach Song Yingan to write by sliding a branch on the ground.
Just when she was about to use a branch to slide a horizontal line on the ground to represent the number one, Lin Xuanjiao's hand seemed to have a consciousness of its own and wrote her own name uncontrollably.
By the time Lin Xuanjiao realized what was happening, she had already written half of the word "Lin". She was a little stunned. Did she really want Song Ying'an to learn her name? Her hand actually had a mind of its own.
Forget it! Since it's already written, let Song Ying'an learn it? Learning her name is also learning to recognize characters, there's not much difference. Lin Xuanjiao tried hard to hypnotize herself in her heart, trying to stop herself from feeling that this matter is strange.
Lin Xuanjiao wrote her name on the ground stroke by stroke. She was a little dissatisfied with the handwriting. It turned out that it would look better with pen and paper. The handwriting drawn on the ground with a branch was not as good as the handwriting on paper.
"This handwriting isn't pretty, is it? Just bear with it! I'll write it down for you in my notebook later. For now, just learn what these characters are. Once you've learned them, you can practice on paper."
Song Ying'an felt that the words on the ground were very beautiful, much more beautiful than the words written on the blackboard by the teacher when he peeked at them outside the classroom when he was a child.
Just as Song Ying'an was about to speak out his thoughts, he heard Lin Xuanjiao speak again, so Song Ying'an had to shut his mouth again.
Lin Xuanjiao coughed lightly, her face slightly red. She was embarrassed. She felt that even the thickest-skinned person would be ashamed when faced with this matter.
"This is my name. Repeat after me, Lin-Xuan-Jiao!"
Song Ying'an followed Lin Xuanjiao's instructions obediently, reciting after her. Lin Xuanjiao's face became even hotter, and the blush on her fair face was so obvious.
Lin Xuanjiao really wanted Song Yingan to shut up and stop saying her name. The tone of Song Yingan's voice was simply a foul when he said her name. Song Yingan's voice sounded very nice, deep and magnetic, sounding like the subwoofer that was very popular in her previous world, and even better in Lin Xuanjiao's opinion.
