When the villagers heard that this was the children's teacher, their eyes suddenly became respectful.
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately stepped forward and said, "So it's Mr. He. I've heard of him for a long time. I was planning to have the third son pick you up from Leshan Pharmacy tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come here first. I wonder if Mr. He has recovered from his illness?"
He Jie also knew that this was the old man of the Xu family. He immediately bent down and bowed, saying: "Thank you for your concern, old man. I can recover thanks to the ointment sent by the Xu family. The Xu family has been kind to me. Please accept my greetings." After saying that, he lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down.
The old man quickly grabbed He Jie's arm and said, "No, no, Mr. He is a man of honor and renown. How can you kneel down and bow before a country bumpkin like me?"

"Yes, brother, just accept He Jie's bow, otherwise he will be uneasy. You can bear it." Manager Hong also said.
"This..." The old man was a little embarrassed, but in order not to burden He Jie, he let go of his hand.
He Jie immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.
The old man waited for him to finish his kowtow, then immediately helped him up and said with a smile, "Now that you've already expressed your gratitude, don't be so reserved. We've built a courtyard for you and your son in the academy, so you can settle down and feel at ease. If you need anything, just let me know. My family will give you five taels of silver as tuition every month."
He Jie immediately said, "No, how can I ask for your salary again? I am willing to be a teacher for the children in Xujia Village."
