Chapter 45 Jiang Zhu?
A lot of time had already been wasted in the morning. After Xie Jiaojiao figured out what to do, she explained it to Jiang Lan and then went back to teach her. Then she took Jiang Lan's position and started doing it.
Jiang Lan was a carefree person and didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, she thought Xie Jiaojiao was a good person. Knowing that she was stupid, she gave her face and prepared to teach her in private.
In this way, Xie Jiaojiao was busy with registration and Jiang Lan was busy distributing farm tools, and both of them did their work in an efficient manner.
Soon, the hundred-meter-long line was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Dad, here's a hoe for you."
Jiang Lan's call of "Dad" attracted the attention of Xie Jiaojiao, who was busy at work, and she glanced over here twice.
Well, not really.
But if you look closely, they do look about 50% similar, but they don't look alike at all.
Xie Jiaojiao couldn't explain why they didn't look alike. She just felt vaguely that Jiang Guo was like a black sheet of paper, and Jiang Lan was like a white sheet of paper. They were completely different and shouldn't be father and daughter.
Xie Jiaojiao thought her sneak peek was secretive, but in fact, her curious and fiery eyes had long been noticed by Jiang Guo, who even smiled kindly at Xie Jiaojiao. Xie Jiaojiao was so scared that she muttered softly and almost bit her tongue. She quickly averted her gaze and got busy again.
"Remember what Dad told you. Learn well from Xie Zhiqing."
Jiang Guo seemed to be giving instructions with concern, but a dark glint flashed across his shrewd eyes.
"Dad, you've been talking so much that my ears are getting calluses."
"Dad, I really remember it."
"Hurry up and go work in the fields."
Jiang Lan's intention to drive people away was too obvious. Jiang Guo smiled and cursed "dead girl", then turned and left.
After the little episode, the team continued to move forward and soon reached the end.
"Captain."
"Captain."
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Lan greeted Jiang Tao one after another.
Jiang Tao said "hmm".
Xie Jiaojiao quickly figured out where Jiang Tao had gone based on the data recorded in the notebook.
"Go to the south end of the village."
Jiang Tao nodded, went to Jiang Lan, took the hoe, turned around and left without saying a word.
"What's wrong with you?" Xie Jiaojiao asked Jiang Lan, who was shaking all over.
"Xie Zhiqing, don't you think the team leader is scary?" Jiang Lan said with lingering fear, patting her chest.
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "No."
Jiang Lan's eyes widened immediately, and she looked at Xie Jiaojiao in disbelief. There were few people in the village who were not afraid of the team leader.
"Why aren't you afraid?"
Xie Jiaojiao continued to tidy up the scorebook without looking up and asked, "Why are you afraid?"
"He's the captain, very fierce."
"He's not fierce. Jiang Ye is fiercer than him."
Jiang Lan stopped talking.
"Besides, the captain is fair. I didn't make any mistakes and he didn't punish me. There's no need for me to be afraid of him!" Xie Jiaojiao said again.
"That's right." Jiang Lan suddenly realized: "I didn't make any mistakes, why should I be afraid of the captain?"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't know and didn't answer.
"Xie Zhiqing, you are so smart."
Jiang Lan, who felt that she no longer had to be afraid of Jiang Tao, praised him generously.
The corners of Xie Jiaojiao's mouth, which were pressed down, curled up again.
"Huh."
"What's the matter?"
"There's one person missing who didn't come to register."
Xie Jiaojiao's eyes fell on the name, and she pursed her lips again.
"Who is it? Who is it?"
"Su Zhiqing?"
Jiang Lan yelled out carelessly.
"Don't worry about him. He has no right to come. Go back and tell the captain to find trouble with him. We don't need to worry about these things."
Seeing that Jiang Lan had a solution, Xie Jiaojiao nodded and put the matter behind her.
She turned to Jiang Lan and said, "Shall we begin now?"
"OK!"
Jiang Lan rubbed her hands, very excited.
Seeing Jiang Lan's eager attitude to learn, Xie Jiaojiao believed that she could teach her quickly, but reality gave Xie Jiaojiao a loud slap in the face.
As a new teacher, Xie Jiaojiao taught very seriously, fearing that Jiang Lan would not understand.
"Each name in this row represents a person's health. Do you understand this?"
Xie Jiaojiao's face instantly turned stern, making Jiang Lan nervous.
"I, I understand."
Xie Jiaojiao frowned: "Don't call me my, call yourself me."
"I..." Xie Jiaojiao glanced at her lightly. Jiang Lan's heart was beating like thunder, and she changed her words: "...I, understand."
Jiang Lan had a bitter face and felt like she was about to break down. Who could tell her why Xie Zhiqing was so terrible when he taught her in the beginning?
Xie Jiaojiao was satisfied and continued speaking.
"The grid at the back is for you to fill in how many centimeters each person earned every day. After a month, add up all the centimeters and make a grand total."
After saying that, Xie Jiaojiao stopped and looked at Jiang Lan, asking, "Do you understand?"
Jiang Lan shook her head blankly: "I don't understand."
Xie Jiaojiao's relaxed brows furrowed again: "What don't you understand?"
"I don't understand anything." Jiang Lan said with a guilty look, her eyes evading.
Could she say she was distracted and didn't hear anything? Would she be scolded?
Xie Jiaojiao thought about it, took out the notebook, and explained to Jiang Lan with examples.
Xie Jiaojiao explained in great detail, and this time Jiang Lan excitedly raised her little hand before she could ask.
"Jiaojiao, I understand."
Xie Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and said she could still teach.
"Then comes the calculation."
Xie Jiaojiao came up with a few calculations, hoping to test Jiang Lan's level.
However, five minutes later, Xie Jiaojiao looked at the "1+1=3, 10+10=1" on the paper and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Xie Jiaojiao adjusted herself and started teaching arithmetic from the beginning.
Two hours later, Xie Jiaojiao looked at the handwriting on the paper which still had "1+1=3" on it and couldn't help but speak.
"How could you be so stupid?"
"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you."
Xie Jiaojiao was so angry that she started to cry.
"Xie Zhiqing, don't cry." Jiang Lan said helplessly, "I'm a little stupid, but don't look down on me. I will definitely study hard."
"I'm not afraid of hardship or scolding, as long as you don't stop teaching me."
Xie Jiaojiao, who was feeling sad, suddenly felt like a little teacher when she heard Jiang Lan repeatedly say "I". She couldn't care less about crying and sniffed, "You can't say "I", you have to say "me".
"Okay, I won't talk about me."
Xie Jiaojiao glared at Jiang Lan and said angrily, "You said that again."
"I..."
"You still say that."
Jiang Lan scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. She couldn't control her nervousness.
"Okay, I, I won't tell you."
Xie Jiaojiao was satisfied when she heard the appropriate self-proclaimed title. She wiped her tears and continued to teach Jiang Lan with great energy.
Xie Jiaojiao is not the type to give up easily.
At this moment, a clear male voice came from not far away.
"Thank you, educated youth."
"Thank you, educated youth."
Xie Jiaojiao looked over when she heard the voice and saw a thin boy, about the same height as her, standing four or five meters away and calling her.
The boy was wearing ill-fitting and tattered clothes, looking like a child who had stolen adult clothes, which made him look even thinner, like a bamboo pole.
Maybe it was because he was too thin, but in the few seconds Xie Jiaojiao looked at him, he had already coughed several times.
"Jiang Zhu?" Jiang Lan was surprised: "Why are you here?"
