The villagers hurriedly shook their heads. No matter what Master Du said, they kept the tuition they had prepared.
Although some of it was enough food for their families for a few days.
They do all this because they don’t want their children to become illiterate like them!
Even if the child doesn't learn anything special, after recognizing a few words, it will be much easier for him to find a job in the town in the future.
The same thing happened to Mrs. Du.
However, there were not many girls coming, only three people! Shen Ningsi's family came just for Gu Yuner.
"lady!"
"Mrs. Du." Shen Ningsi looked at Mrs. Du with a smile on her face.
"It must be a daughter, she is so beautiful." Mrs. Du saw Gu Yuner and her face was filled with joy.
"Yes, this child is quite clever. Madam Du, if there is anything wrong with her, please feel free to tell me!"
Shen Ningsi said this, and he had already made his attitude clear.
Mrs. Du would not look at her differently just because she is the general's daughter!
"Don't worry, ma'am, we treat everyone the same here."
Mrs. Du said with a smile on her face, but this was only their second meeting, but she still liked Shen Ningsi very much.
The other women were relieved to hear Mrs. Du say this. They were worried that their daughters would be bullied by the general's wife's daughter if they were sent here.
Now it seems that they were all worrying for nothing.
"Mom, don't worry, Yun'er will definitely study hard."
Gu Yuner also cherishes this learning opportunity very much, as she had never dared to even think about it before.
"Well, Yun'er, although you are a girl, I have heard that men and women are the same! We are all flesh and blood."
Madam Du didn't expect Shen Ningsi to be able to say such words, and her eyes were full of strange lights.
As a female teacher, she received a lot of criticism and misunderstanding from the world.
If Master Du had not always supported her, Mrs. Du might have given up long ago.
She really wanted women of this era to be able to work freely and dress themselves up just like men.
"Yes, Yun'er, your mother is right!
Mrs. Du, perhaps because she loves her children, treats them even better!
After all, in this day and age, there are very few families who can afford to send their daughters to school.
On the one hand, they are reluctant to spend money, and on the other hand, the girls are grown up and are good at housework.
When they go out to study, all the housework falls on them.
Shen Ningsi was praised by Mrs. Du, and Gu Yuner also showed an expression of pride on her face.
Shen Ningsi was talking to Madam Du here, and on the other hand, he was looking to see how many people in these villages were willing to send their daughters here to study with Madam Du.
However, the two of them waited until noon, but no one brought their daughter to study.
Shen Ningsi and Madam Du knew that no more girls would come over.
Mrs. Du had no other expectations at this moment.
The girls who were sitting there with nervous looks on their faces raised their heads and looked at her seriously.
"You guys are lucky to be sent here by your parents!"
After Mrs. Du said this, happy expressions appeared on the faces of the children, because they had never been treated unfairly at home.
So, when everyone in the nearby villages knew that Shen Ningsi had opened a private school and hired two teachers, only the three of them were sent over, plus Gu Yuner, there were only four girls in total.
When Shen Ningsi left, Du Fu had already started teaching these girls seriously.
When the girls were about to leave at noon to go back for lunch, they were kept by Mrs. Du.
"We don't have to go back for these years. From today on, you can have a meal here every day. These are all provided by the general's wife."
Mrs. Du said with a smile.
Shen Ningsi is the kindest lady she has ever met!
People in the capital always say one thing and do another, so Mrs. Du is not very fond of those people in the capital.
Shen Ningsi is different.
But what is different about her? Even she still can't explain it.
"Yun'er, your mother is so generous that she actually invited us all to dinner together! My mother loves us very much, but she is too naive to let us eat delicious food."
When she finished speaking, there was a deep sense of loneliness on the girl's face.
"Actually, our lives weren't much better than yours before. We've already gotten through those tough times, so you can do it too!"
Gu Yuner cheered for these girls. Because there were not many people, they became familiar with each other in half a day and even knew each other's names.
Mrs. Du couldn't help but smile when she saw the scene of several of them encouraging and supporting each other.
"Okay, you will have lunch soon, so don't leave." Mrs. Du raised her head, looked at the sun in the sky, and estimated the time for lunch.
Several girls nodded when they heard her say this.
Even if they go back now, they may not be able to find food at home. In the past, when they came back from working in the fields, they could only eat some vegetable soup.
Not to mention now.
Shen Ningsi has already asked Liu to prepare the meals for the children this day.
Although the girls didn't have to cook much, the boys had to prepare nearly twenty dishes.
"When the food is ready, send it over."
At this moment, Shen Ningsi also looked up at the sun in the sky, estimated the time and knew that it was time for dinner, then told Liu to send all the food over.
Where have the children ever eaten such delicious food at home? They all ate until their bellies were full.
When Mr. Du and Mrs. Du saw this scene, they both looked at each other with a helpless expression.
There were also some very sensible and obedient children who secretly tasted a small piece or put other food in their sleeves.
Mr. Du and Mrs. Du both saw their actions.
I also began to test these children in my heart.
Gu Yuner's food intake was unusually rich for a period of time, but seeing that the girls who studied with her secretly tasted some of the food, she also learned to hide it.
"Yun'er, aren't you the general's daughter? Why do you have to hide things like us? I heard that your mother is a stepmother. Does she not give you food on weekdays?"
