Happy Little Scholar

"Okay, that's all for this morning." When Journey to the West came to the part about havoc in heaven, Li Yi estimated that the time was almost up, so he chose to stop at the most critical moment.

The naughty children were just hearing about Monkey King killing people everywhere, fighting against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals alone, fighting against the Four Heavenly Kings, the Giant Spirit, and Erlang Shen. They were so excited that they wanted to turn into Monkey King, enter that magical world, and wield the golden hoop to make havoc in heaven... But the story suddenly stopped at the end, and their anxious faces turned red, and they felt extremely uncomfortable.

Li Yi seemed not to have seen this scene. He walked to the sand table on the side and wrote the word "Liu" on it with his finger, and then said: "When you come to the school in the afternoon, you must all be able to write this word. When everyone can write this word "Liu", I will tell the next story."

After that, he put his hands behind his back and walked out of the school leisurely.

As soon as he stepped out, a group of naughty kids surrounded the sand table.

"The teacher said that we all need to learn this word!"

"Is this word our "Liu"?"

"Move aside, let me see how to write it?"

At this time, the naughty kids seemed to have forgotten that they still had a "deep hatred" with Li Yi. They stared at the words on the sand table and tried to remember them in their hearts.

The naughty kids also have strong self-esteem. They don't want to drag everyone down just because they don't remember it. What's more, everyone has strong expectations for the next development of the story and the follow-up of the magical monkey.

"Remember this word well. If anyone can't write it this afternoon, I'll beat you up!" The boy with the strongest body and a small round face stretched out his finger in the air to gesture the writing of "Liu" and made a ferocious expression, threatening the naughty kids around him.

When he thought of the monkey who could only fly into the sky and into the earth, knew 72 transformations, and was omnipotent in the sky and on the ground, he felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart...

At this time, Li Yi stood at the door of his house, looking at a group of hens foraging on a small earth slope not far away, and he couldn't help but miss the bowl of mushroom stewed chicken noodles yesterday.

"Those children are very naughty and difficult to discipline. Are you adapting to being a teacher on your first day?"

A voice suddenly came from his ear, and Li Yi was startled. He turned his head suddenly and found that Liu Ruyi had stood beside him without knowing when.

Li Yi's face was still shocked. This woman, does she walk without making any sound?

Moreover, she actually took the initiative to talk to him, which made Li Yi feel a little flattered.

Although the two were husband and wife in name, they were actually more like strangers. Liu Ruyi used Li Yi to shut up those people, and Li Yi relied on her to eat soft rice------eat.

If he didn't stay in the mountain village, he would probably starve to death or be tied to a pillar and burned to death.

After finally calming down, he said, "They are a little naughty, but they are respectful to the teacher. Don't worry, madam."

After saying that, Li Yi remembered something again. He looked up at Liu Ruyi and asked, "Madam, may I ask, how much is the monthly salary for being a teacher in the school? What are the rules for tuition?"

Li Yi had specially learned about the rules of the school before. He didn't mention the apprenticeship ceremony and the entrance ceremony. It didn't matter if he skipped them. They were not important, but the tuition fee should be inevitable, right?

There was no way. The family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. If they didn't think of a solution, they would have to eat coarse food in the future...

The so-called tuition fee was the apprenticeship fee. When students met the teacher for the first time, they needed to present gifts to show respect. Li Yi was still looking forward to relying on these tuition fees to improve his life a little.

As if she had not expected Li Yi to ask this question, Liu Ruyi's expression froze for a moment. After a moment, she looked at Li Yi, her expression became strange, and she shook her head and said, "The teachers in the village middle school have no monthly salary, no tuition... nor anything."

What?

Li Yi did not react for a while after hearing this, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and was stunned there.

No wages? No tuition?

That would mean working in vain!

From ancient times to the present, there is no such thing. Even the long-term workers of Zhou Paopi's family have to pay people, right?

What's more, being a teacher is a very sacred profession. Even if there is no salary, it is reasonable to receive some gifts to improve life, right?

These bandits don't even know the most basic manners of being a human being------not at all!

Li Yi sighed, suddenly felt a little tired, turned around and walked back with a lonely face.

There is still half of the chicken left from yesterday, make something delicious to comfort the wounded heart...

For most people in Liuye Village, today is a very ordinary day.

They worked as usual, thinking that there was not much food left at home, and they had to save food in the future. Last year's harvest was not good, and they had to endure for a while before they could catch up with this year's new grain.

However, the Liu clan members who had children at home felt a little different.

The naughty kids who used to play wildly in the village all day and would never go home unless they were called three times for dinner suddenly became quiet. Instead of running around, they squatted in the open space in front of their homes, holding a branch in their hands and writing and drawing. No one knew what they were doing.

As a result, the parents of the naughty kids became uneasy.

In this era when most people are ignorant, any unusual behavior will be classified as being possessed by evil spirits or possessed by evil spirits.

Children are treasures, so they will not be roasted on the fire without knowing the truth. After observing their children for a long time, a middle-aged man finally couldn't help but walked over and kicked the naughty child's butt: "What are you doing here, coward?"

Turning around and seeing his father standing behind him, the naughty child wiped his nose, pointed to the crooked words just written on the ground, and said proudly: "Dad, this is the word "Liu", which the teacher taught us this morning. You must not know it, right?"

The middle-aged man looked down and saw that the ground was scratched by branches. As for the word "Liu" pointed by his naughty child, in his opinion, it was just a bunch of scribbles.

Seeing the proud face of the naughty child, who seemed to despise his illiteracy, the man was furious and kicked the naughty child in the ass, "You have only been to school for half a day, and you dare to laugh at me. Even if I have never been to school, I am still your father!"

Li Yi was in the kitchen, just cutting the chicken into thin strips and preparing the ingredients for meat porridge. Suddenly, he looked up at the window, listened attentively for a while, and muttered, "Whose naughty child is crying so ugly..."

Shaked his head and continued to work.

"Eat slowly, no one is snatching it from you!"

At lunch, the middle-aged woman looked at the naughty child who was acting out of character, shoveling rice into his mouth, but did not even touch his favorite dish on the table, and a puzzled look appeared in her eyes.

What happened to her own child today?

After eating the meal in a hurry, the naughty child threw the bowl on the table and ran out, as if the outside world had some infinite attraction to him.

"You just finished your meal, what are you doing?" The woman chased after him with an anxious look on her face and shouted.

"Go to school!"

The naughty child shouted back and disappeared.

The woman was left standing there, stunned.

This little bastard used to refuse to go to school even when he was forced to, why did he change his temper today?

Similar things happened in many families in Liuye Village.

At noon that day, all the parents of the naughty children were collectively confused.
