117 Apprenticeship

Gu Xiaowan explained: "Teacher, I originally planned to send my two younger brothers to the school after the Chinese New Year. However, there is no teacher in our village, but my two younger brothers are old and don't want to delay their studies, so I just It's like thinking about going to the town to find the school. But I didn't expect that I met a good teacher today, so I'm a little excited, and I want my two younger brothers to apprentice as soon as possible!"

Xu Xianlin snorted, stroked his beard, and asked, "How do you know I'm a good teacher?"

"Just now your students came to you with questions, and I saw your eagerness and distress when you saw that your students didn't understand their questions. Later, when you taught your students, your students didn't understand, but you took the trouble. You have taught it over and over again, but you can't see any impatience on your face. Also, just now you saw that we love to read, and you gave us a lot of things, but only charged us a little bit of money, which shows your compassion and compassion. Cherish talent! This is the moral character and cultivation that a teacher should have!"

"Then what kind of character and cultivation do you think a teacher should have?" Seeing the little girl observing so carefully, Xu Xianlin couldn't help but secretly wondered, if it wasn't for Xiao Shengzi who had already told himself just now, she came from Wuxi Village, he would really be wrongly judged by this little girl's decent temperament.

"As the saying goes, it takes ten years to cultivate trees, but a hundred years to cultivate people. To be a teacher, you must first correct yourself before you can teach and educate others. This is the foundation of teacher morality. It is necessary to teach and educate people, and learn to be a teacher. Be a model. Those who teach must first strengthen themselves, and those who educate others must first discipline themselves." Gu Xiaowan spoke out incessantly about the virtues of being a teacher in her heart, but she didn't know that in this dynasty, it had never been done before. Someone mentioned it. The more Xu Xianlin listened to it, the fresher it became, but he felt that the words uttered were really precious and piercing, and it was indeed the cultivation and example that a teacher should have.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Xu Xianlin waited for Gu Xiaowan to finish speaking, clapped his hands in agreement, gave a thumbs up, and praised without hesitation: "Little girl is so young, but she knows the whole thing. She is so talented and intelligent, but she It's rare." It's just a pity that it's a female doll, otherwise, Xu Xianlin would be pulling this little girl to learn art at this moment. However, this female doll is not good, these two identical male dolls can be cultivated well.

Seemingly remembering Gu Xiaowan's words just now, Xu Xianlin asked tentatively, "Baby girl, you said just now that you want both of your younger brothers to go to school?" These children went out without an adult leading them. Every little one is dominated by this sister, I am afraid that there are no adults in the family. Without an adult, this girl still wanted her younger brothers to study, so Xu Xianlin had to be puzzled.

"Yes!" Gu Xiaowan said decisively.

Xu Xianlin frowned. Gu Xiaowan thought it was Xu Xianlin who disliked her for not being able to bring out Shu Xiu, so she refused to accept it, and quickly explained: "Uncle, don't worry, since I am going to send two younger brothers to school, there will be no shortage of Shu Xiu!"

Hearing Gu Xiaowan say this, Xu Xianlin's face was a little ugly: "What are you talking about! I'm not the kind of person who pays attention! It's just..." Xu Xianlin looked at Gu Xiaowan's thin body: "You two All the younger brothers have entered the school, and the family has to rely on you alone, you are a baby girl, and both parents have passed away, can you resist?"

I don't know why, but at the first glance of the little girl, Xu Xianlin felt that there was a special affinity. Both children were sent to school. This bundle of repairs was a lot of money, a girl, and there were no adults at home. , How can I cope without the help of my uncle and uncle.

Also, there is a little girl doll with the head of a radish in this house. How could this little girl come here?

It turned out that the uncle was distressed that he was too busy.

Gu Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "Uncle, it's okay, I can handle it alone."

Gu Ningping was not happy at the moment: "Sister, I don't go to school, I'll help you at home. My brother is talented in reading, let him go to school, I won't go to school!"

Gu Ning'an also said, "Sister, I'm not here either. I'm the eldest son of the family, so I should support the whole family. I can't leave you alone." , he is the eldest son of the family, and he can't always rely on his sister to support the family.

"Don't talk about both of you. If you recognize my sister, you will be apprentice today." Gu Xiaowan said arrogantly. She knew all too well the usefulness of reading. Even if you can't shine on the lintel in the future, after reading a book, your vision and thinking are completely different from those who have not read.

"Sister..." Brother Gu Ning'an wanted to say something else, but seeing Gu Xiaowan's determined face, they had no choice but to give up. The two of them could only come to Xu Xianlin, and they were going to worship. Then Xu Xianlin hurriedly dragged him up, but he didn't let them both worship him: "You have to think about it first, if you want to study in my college, you must be serious and dedicated, and you can't do two things. If not, you It's really a waste of your sister's heart."

After Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping listened, their hearts were filled with gratitude to Gu Xiaowan, they looked at each other, then nodded heavily, bowed down, and said in unison, "I must study hard and live up to Mr. and sister."

Xu Xianlin laughed loudly, and helped Gu Ning'an and the two of them: "If you can have such thoughts, that's great! Well, today, I will accept you."

Gu Xiaowan didn't even ask how much the Shuxiu cost, so she directly asked the two of them to apprentice. Thinking of this, Gu Xiaowan said, "Uncle, when can the two of them go to school?"

"Generally, classes start after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There are two days off a month. On weekdays, they have to eat and live in the school."

"How much is that? I'll hand in Shu Xiu now."

"If not, you just

The money for food and lodging was paid, one and a half taels a month. "

"How can that be done? Uncle, just accept me as you accept other students. If it doesn't, we will be so embarrassed!" Gu Xiaowan definitely doesn't want to take advantage of this uncle in vain. Xiu, if they only need to pay for meals and accommodation, and if it spreads out in the future, how can this uncle accept students.
