Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 375 We can still be brothers if we see through it but don’t tell it!

Chapter 375: We can still be brothers if we see through it but don’t tell it!

“Aunt, uncle, this is Mr. Jiang, a scholar in the last subject. Because the capital was moved too suddenly, his clan members were separated. He has been living in the north of the city. He makes a living by writing letters and teaching children in the north of the city to read.

“We met by chance and liked Mr. Jiang’s erudition and open-mindedness very much. It just so happened that our village was looking for an enlightenment teacher for the children, so I recommended him to give it a try.”

 Educators are all good-looking people. The old lady and Li Laoer were a little worried when they heard Mr. Wen talking so carelessly about Mr. Jiang's difficulty in surviving.

But Mr. Jiang still smiled gently. Perhaps seeing their embarrassment, he comforted them with a few words, "Madam and uncle, don't worry. Although Brother Wen and I have only known each other for a short time, we have become close friends." .

“Brother Wen also helped me a lot, and I happily accepted it. After all, life is a long time, and now that I have accepted Brother Wen’s help, there will always be a time when I can repay Brother Wen in the future.”

 The old lady and Li Laoer both started laughing.

Mr. Jiang is really open-minded, not stuck in trivial matters, and seems to have a thorough understanding of the world. If such a person comes to teach in the village, even if his knowledge is poor, the children he teaches will be good.

Li Laoer immediately asked: "Mr. Jiang, when can you come to the village to teach?"

"You can do it at any time!" Mr. Jiang replied simply, "Uncle, I don't know. I've been salivating over Broken Gold Beach for a long time. I want to go to the valley to soak in the hot springs, but I don't have enough money. I can't wait to move here right away. I can go there right away. It’s good to take a few glances in the valley!”

　　Everyone laughed at the words. Even Jiayin felt that this scholar with average appearance and short stature was much more pleasing to the eye because of his humor and open-mindedness.

Li Laoer thought for a while and said, "Sir, you can move whenever you want. Come and rest for three days before starting classes. There is a vacant room over there in the school, complete with tables, chairs and bookshelves. We also have new bedding at home.

“Mr.’s salary will be paid on a monthly basis, five taels of silver a month, and two sets of clothes and shoes for each season. But let’s start with the scandal. If the teacher fails to teach, our village can fire him at any time.”

"Of course, I'm here to teach. If I don't succeed in teaching, I won't be able to stay here longer without you telling me." Mr. Jiang stood up and saluted, and responded seriously.

But he hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Uncle, can I bring a little book boy? There is a street boy in the north of the city who often studies with me. His parents are both dead. He is very pitiful. I want to bring him as a companion."

Before Li Laoer could speak, Mrs. Li nodded, "Of course, sir, someone should take care of him. Besides, for a child who is hardworking and studious, our village is not short of enough food."

Mr. Jiang smiled and gave Mrs. Li a great gift sincerely, "I think I should be most grateful to Brother Wen in this life. He introduced me to a good place like Suijintan."

Everyone laughed, and Mr. Wen pulled Mr. Jiang to sit down and said, "When I saw you standing up for the homeless children in the north of the city, I thought you were a sincere person. But the same is true for the folks like Suijintan, so I hope you will In the future, I will settle down here and have friends to talk to every time I come here.”

When Mrs. Li heard them talking about the north of the city, her heart moved, and she asked: "Mr. Jiang lives in the north of the city. I have heard of a family. The owner is also a scholar, surnamed Sun, and it is said that he runs a school."

Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "If the Mr. Sun the old lady mentioned is about forty years old, he looks like the one who lives near me.

"Does the old lady know the name of Mr. Sun? Do you want me to stay in the north of the city for a few more days and help the old lady find out?"

Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "I don't know Mr. Sun's name either. I won't trouble you until I find out."

"Well, I'll move here first. Don't delay the children's studies. I've lived in the north of the city for more than a year and I'm very familiar with it. It won't be difficult to go back and ask if I have anything."

Mr. Jiang said it cheerfully, but Mr. Wen revealed his thoughts, "You are not in a hurry to teach. You are just as anxious to enjoy the scenery and soak in hot springs!"

“Oh, Brother Wen, whether we see through it or not, we are still brothers!” Mr. Jiang said, pulling up his sleeves to cover his face.

His pretended shyness made everyone laugh again.

Jiayin really liked this gentleman more and more. She was tempted to go to school, but she decided to give up because she wanted to get up early.

 Winter is coming soon, and nothing is more important than a warm bed!

After a few more gossips, Mr. Wen took Mr. Jiang back to move.

Old Mrs. Li carried her granddaughter on her back and took Grandma He and Shuiyun Shuiyue with her, wanting to visit the school.

The gown Mr. Jiang wore just now was patched, which shows that he lives a very poor life. Therefore, it is best for the family to help him with food, drink, clothing, and supplies.

 As a result, as soon as they went out, Sister-in-law Li came over with her daughter in her arms. Hearing that the old lady was going to school, she wanted to go and help. After all, the food and accommodation were now at Li's house. She couldn't stay idle all the time, so she always wanted to help with some work.

The old lady couldn't refuse, so Grandma He stepped forward to hug Jiayin and said with a smile: "Old lady, it's time for the young lady to learn the rules. I will carry her back to the yard first."

　　"Okay." Mrs. Li nodded quickly, Jiayin waved to her grandma, and then entered the Marquis's yard.

Sister-in-law Li asked curiously: "Auntie, is the yard next door also ours?"

Mrs. Li was afraid that Sister-in-law Li was going to send her daughter there, so she hurriedly moved out of the Marquis' house. "No, that's the Marquis's yard. Fu Niu'er is the adopted daughter of the Marquis, and she learns the rules there."

Sure enough, Sister-in-law Li shut up immediately, her expression still very awe-inspiring.

There is no shortage of money in the village, and they were not stingy when it came to building the school. The room for studying, the kitchen for cooking, and the place where the husband lives are all very spacious.

Now it’s just a matter of cleaning, changing things, and ventilating the room.

There was not much work to do, so everyone went back quickly.

Two carriages stopped in front of Li's house. It turned out that Li Zhensheng had returned.

The carriages were moving down one after another, and even the wind carried a faint smell of the sea.

It happened that An Jiaxi and Cat Brother saw them on the mountain and ran back to join in the fun.

Li Zhensheng greeted them with a smile, "The family's fleet has arrived, come and help! Didn't I ask for more shells last time? This time, not to mention shells, even sea sand has been shipped to you!"

Several boys cheered happily, shouting loudly, "Uncle (dad) is so good!"

Jiayin heard the commotion and was hugged by Aunt He.

Soon, fine white sand fell into a huge pile in the corner of the yard.

Jiayi held a box of shells and buried them in the sand to let his brothers experience the joy of picking up shells.

The shells are all washed, colorful and of different sizes. They are buried in the fine sand and are picked out one after another. They are very beautiful.

 The boys called to their sister, "Fu Niuer, come and dig for treasures together!"

Jiayin ran over with a smile, and opened the door with two chubby hands like cat's claws.

Nannan looked anxious and struggled to get over.

Sister-in-law Li let go without taking it seriously.

Grandma He and Mrs. Li both tried to stop her, but the little girl had already started playing.

Grandma He glanced at Fu Niuer, who was surrounded by her brothers, and Nannan who was far away, and said to Old Mrs. Li: "Don't worry, old lady, I will take care of you here."

It happened that Li Zhensheng had something to do, so he called mother in the house, and Mrs. Li went inside.

Mammy He rolled up her sleeves and wanted to find an oil-paper umbrella to protect her little master from the sun.

 At this moment, something unexpected happened...
