Su Jiaoniang followed and asked, "What's the reason for this?" She pointed to the manure basket.
Feng Yuwei chuckled: "Those kids are from poor families. You should know that when people live a hard life, their thoughts become limited. Those who are hungry want to fill their stomachs, and only those who are well-fed want to study. If they have some money, they will want to cause trouble."
These children from poor families suffer alongside their parents, and the only thought that fills their minds is to fill their stomachs. Very few of them want to study. Out of a hundred people, I only found three or five.
In such families, even toddlers who have just learned to walk are considered laborers.
They took on the task of collecting manure from the house.
These three or five children also want to learn to read and go to school.
The people living in this alley are not very well-off.
The teacher has a mental illness; he can only be somewhat energetic when he is teaching.
He always felt that the Great Qi was doomed, and he wanted to perish with Qi. Having a child study with him was a win-win situation; it was simply a matter of mutual benefit.
At this point, Feng Yuwei laughed out loud. He had also thought that the Great Qi would perish if it fell into the hands of the tyrannical Regent.
But they really understand national affairs.
After understanding politics and the imperial court, I realized that politics is never that simple.
It's not the black-and-white logic presented in books.
The things learned from books are all applicable to an ideal world, but in an imperfect world, with a very simple court, there are good people and bad people, and everyone is selfish.
This is a country composed of countless different races.
How can it be simple!
After witnessing these things, I realized that those who govern a country can never be simply black and white.
As Feng Yuwei pondered these things, he understood even more clearly that a teacher is only suitable for imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts. As for other matters of state, he should not get involved or participate in them.
Fortunately, the teacher has now found something else that interests her.
Hybrid grains.
This is something that only people who see things in black and white can do.
When a person has energy and vitality, their body will gradually recover.
Feng Yuwei glanced at Su Jiaoniang and said very solemnly, "Thank you for today!"
"You're welcome!" she said, meeting Feng Yuwei's grateful gaze.
Su Jiaoniang was also moved. Feng Yuwei was a handsome and refined scholar with a scholarly air about him, pure and untainted.
Walking under the sun, sweat beaded on my forehead and nose.
People seem more cheerful now.
Such a beautiful person, it's a pity they're not family. In that instant, Su Jiaoniang almost dragged Feng Yuwei to become her half-siblings.
Fortunately, Su Jiaoniang managed to restrain herself.
He accompanied Feng Yuwei as they picked up dung balls from the ground.
Suddenly, a shoe appeared in front of her and stepped on the broom she had just taken out.
"Hey, who's this? Isn't this Su Wujiu, the genius from the Ministry of Agriculture? What's with him arguing with the Grand Minister of Agriculture and taking a long leave of absence just to come out and collect cow dung!"
The irritating voice came from the person in front of him, who was wearing a special blue uniform worn by staff members of the Si Nong Temple.
Feng Yuwei glanced at it and didn't recognize it!
Su Jiaoniang didn't pull the broom hard just now, but now...
Seeing that smug face, he couldn't hold back any longer. With a forceful pull, he snatched the broom that was being stomped on, causing the person who was stepping on it to slip and fall to the ground.
Su Jiaoniang was quick-witted and nimble-fingered.
They poured the manure from the manure basket onto the ground.
A person dressed in blue samurai robes was lying on the ground in a pile of dung.
His face was directly facing the excrement.
It was still a very fresh pile of manure.
Su Jiaoniang glanced at it, her stomach churned, and she let out a moan.
This person's face was covered in wet excrement. Anyone who saw it would feel an urge to vomit. It was awful!
The road was filled with a strange smell.
Su Jiaoniang looked at her former colleagues and said, "Why don't you take a day off too? It doesn't look good for you to go on duty looking like this!"
I'll remember you!
However, the man was ungrateful. He pointed at Su Jiaoniang angrily, and as he spoke, the excrement on his nose was still dripping into his mouth. After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Su Jiaoniang looked at Feng Yuwei.
Feng Yuwei stared at Su Jiaoniang.
The two of them couldn't help but bend over and make soft, gurgling sounds.
They took a different route and continued collecting manure.
The collected excrement was distributed among the three children who were studying diligently.
As night fell, Su Jiaoniang, along with Xiao Ya and Feng Yuwei, returned to the inn.
As they walked, she asked, "Are you going to keep helping these children collect cow dung?"
"For now, this is how it is. These children are all talented, but they lack opportunities. If we can find an opportunity for them to escape their current environment, they will be able to study diligently and steadily."
They work very hard and really want to study.
She studied very diligently under her teacher's guidance.
I didn't come here to slack off and avoid collecting cow dung!
As Feng Yuwei spoke, his eyes were filled with reminiscence.
I don't even know what I'm reminiscing about.
Everyone's lifespan and depth are different.
Feng Yuwei's willingness to help children from impoverished backgrounds proves that he has a soft heart and is a kind person.
Living with such a person is far more comfortable, brighter, and less worrisome than living with those who are constantly plotting to harm others.
The little girl fell asleep halfway there from exhaustion.
Su Jiaoniang picked the person up and placed them on her back.
We walked back to the inn step by step.
The innkeeper saw Su Jiaoniang and gave her a fawning smile.
He pointed upstairs and didn't say much.
Su Jiaoniang went upstairs and saw Futu and Lu Wujiu inside.
