Look at her three little ones. They know a few things now. When they get angry, they are very stubborn and hard to coax.
"But it's too early. Can they understand it now?" This is what Yan Guofeng was worried about. It would be better not to listen if they couldn't understand.
"Take your time, you will eventually understand." Think about the children in ancient society. They started their enlightenment at the age of two or three. This was not an exception; it was the norm. No matter whether the child had a high IQ or a low IQ, as long as the family had some wealth, they would start their enlightenment early.
Yan Guofeng remained noncommittal. "If you think it's okay, then let's find them a mentor. But where do we find one?"
"That's a problem." She had little social interaction, and there weren't many people who could enlighten her children. "How about I go back to BDU and ask my former colleagues if there are any students who come from relatively poor families but have good grades and good character?"
"That's a solution, but, having a top student from Hua University teach three babies..."
Well, it's not suitable.
Zhong Yuxiu thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate. "Then where should we find one? A high school? But high school students have heavy responsibilities."
"We really need to find a sophomore in high school. Firstly, they're already mature enough. If they come from a poor family but have good character, they're definitely very sensible. We don't expect them to help with childcare, just give them two hours of lessons every day. They can arrange their schedules however they want. This way, they'll have plenty of time to study and still earn money for emergencies."
That takes everything into consideration.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll ask my colleagues if they know anyone like this."
"We don't need you. Let Comrade Gu go and find out." Yan Guofeng said this, and Zhong Yuxiu understood. "You're right. Comrade Gu's observation ability is impeccable and he can get things done. But Comrade Gu doesn't have anyone to observe. We need to find a few people to observe together."
Yan Guofeng said, "Don't underestimate Comrade Gu. Although his connections in Shangjing aren't among the highest, he does have some connections at the lower levels. Plus, he has many comrades in arms, so they're not without him in Shangjing. If you take all the factors into consideration, he might even be able to do a favor for others."
After all, it is something that can help make money and provide free time; it is really necessary for families in real difficulty.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded thoughtfully, "Then call Comrade Gu out to ask him."
"That's how it should be." Yan Guofeng finished speaking and said loudly, "Dashan, Dashan."
"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Yan Rushan came out of the kitchen with water on his hands.
Yan Guofeng said, "Please ask Comrade Gu to come out for a moment. Yuxiu and I have something to ask him."
"Okay." Yan Rushan turned around and went back into the kitchen. The next moment, Gu Lingguo came out. "Mr. Yan, Comrade Zhong, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, we want to ask you something. Come and sit down." Yan Guofeng pointed to the multi-person sofa next to him.
Gu Lingguo nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at Yan Guofeng with an attitude of listening attentively.
Yan Guofeng said, "I called you out because I wanted to ask if your connections in Beijing could help me find a reliable high school student."
"High school student?" Gu Lingguo didn't understand and looked at Zhong Yuxiu again.
Zhong Yuxiu just smiled and didn't explain to him.
Yan Guofeng asked, "Can you find someone who is reliable, has good character, and is good at studying?"
"I think so. I have to ask." Gu Lingguo was still quite curious about this matter. "Why do you and Comrade Zhong suddenly want to find a high school student with good academic performance?"
This time, Yan Guofeng explained directly to him, "For the sake of Liji, you probably have some idea in mind. They have already shown a certain level of intelligence. Yuxiu and I don't want them to use their brains on unimportant things. We also want someone with good character to enlighten them. That means teaching them some simple characters."
"Then... aren't high school students a waste of their talents?" High school students who are good at studying usually go to college.
"No, we don't need him to help take care of the children. We only teach them two hours a day. He can arrange the class time as he pleases. If he can't come due to something, just let him know in advance. We'll pay the same amount as other families pay their tutors per month."
Gu Lingguo's mind raced. Such excellent conditions, and even with the Yan family's support, there were plenty of candidates even without money. Both Elder Yan and Comrade Zhong had asked him about this, so it seemed they didn't want to choose from among these people. Instead, they wanted a child with genuine character, a reliable character, and the ability to act sensibly. Of course, poverty wasn't important; a poor family might be more grateful to the Yan family.
The scope of activities here is very wide.
"I understand what you mean. I'll find some time to meet some of my comrades."
"Okay, I'll trouble you with this. Thank you regardless of whether it works or not."
"It's just a small thing, I don't deserve your thanks; but the person I found here may not satisfy you, you see..." If anything goes wrong, he really can't get away with it.
There are pros and cons.
Yan Guofeng said: "Try to choose people with good character and a firm mind."
"I understand. I will choose according to your standards. He should be good at studying, have good character, be firm in mind, and be able to handle things." It's not good if you don't know how to handle things. No matter how outstanding a person is, if he doesn't know how to handle things, he will eventually run into a wall.
Yan Guofeng nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly what he meant; enlightenment teachers would still have a certain influence on children's personalities.
"I will go out when Comrade Zhong is home." After Gu Lingguo said this, Zhong Yuxiu wanted to stop him from following her and go to do this thing first; after thinking for a moment, she still didn't say it out loud. Protecting her and monitoring her are the jobs of Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong.
"You take care of the arrangements and find a teacher for your enlightenment soon."
Gu Lingguo agreed, said goodbye to Yan Guofeng and Zhong Yuxiu, and went back to the kitchen.
Yan Guofeng turned his head and looked at his eldest grandson's wife. "The children need to start their education. We can't go back to Red Star Village, right?"
"It's okay if you want to go back and live there. We have a car. When the road is repaired, we can pick up and drop off your enlightenment teacher." It is a bit troublesome, but the environment in Hongxing Village is really good. After living in Hongxing Village for a long time, I feel that Hongxing Village is more comfortable than living in the city.
The key is that the air in Hongxing Village is fresh, and people with special abilities are particularly sensitive to these subtle details.
"It's too troublesome." Yan Guofeng frowned and sighed, "Forget it, I'll go and live here for a while when I have the chance. It's enough to be idle for such a long time."
Living in a compound is always much more convenient.
He used to be worried about what would happen after the children started school, but now he doesn’t have to worry about it anymore; once the children start school, it will be very unrealistic for them to return to Hongxing Village and live there permanently.
"What you mean is that during the holidays, we can bring the little teacher who teaches the children back to live with us for a while." Things in the world are difficult to have everything perfect.
Didn't Yan Guofeng really want to return to Red Star Village? The atmosphere and people there were different. When he missed his comrades, he could just call them or come back to visit. The rest of the time, he'd be in Red Star Village, a true retirement.
