Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 256 It really happened

The words learned in the morning continue to be hung under the eaves. At noon, the teenagers come to read them through, and they will ask Ding Shitou if they don’t know them.

Ding Shitou will also let them form words and sentences, and tell them some stories about these words.

From then on, everyone got used to coming over at noon and asking questions after Ding Shitou finished his meal.

Before the schoolchildren came, they would also use those sand tables to practice calligraphy, or just sit down with a pen and paper and help copy the paper.

Others who have no tasks will come to help collect firewood, or go to the backyard to hoe, loosen the soil, water... Slowly, it has become a habit.

Because they are here to learn things and learn from Ding Shitou for free, and the adults in their family don't care about their running here all the time.

Even if it is a mud leg, a mud leg who has read a few more books is a hundred times better than a mud leg who is illiterate and ignorant of the world. At least if you go to the city to do anything, you are not afraid of being deceived.

Of course, the teenagers still did not forget to make pasta and dishes, and later they often helped in the kitchen, practicing knife skills, kneading noodles, and matching dishes.

Ding Shitou is not a chef, but he has been wandering around all these years. As Ding Dian said, he has accumulated a lot of experience by stealing food and peeking.

After a long time, Ding's house has become the favorite gathering place for teenagers and schoolchildren in Nancheng Village, and no one dares to come to find fault.

At the end of the month, some parents from other villages who came to see off the schoolchildren gathered together to murmur, and then recommended a person to come out. When Ding Shitou was about to take the schoolchildren into the open room for class, he stopped her.

"Teacher Ding!"

Because Ding Shitou asked the schoolchildren to call her teacher, everyone also called her teacher instead of teacher.

"Is there something wrong?" Ding Shitou looked at the other party, who was the father of Wang Jiafu, a student who came only on the first day of junior high school.

"That's right. We have seen with our own eyes these days that Mr. Ding teaches children very well. My child is serious about reciting books to us every day when he comes home."

"We are also very happy that my son is more active in studying than before, but..." Wang Jiafu's father hesitated when he said this.

"We adults were also talking about this just now. If we want children to take the imperial examination in the future, is Mr. Ding sure?"

It turned out to be such a thing, Ding Shitou smiled slightly.

"When I opened a school here, I promised our village head and elders that I would lead the elementary class for five years, and ensure that the students can read [-] words, write and count."

"However, within five years, I will not focus on teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, Poems, Songs, Rhyme, Riding and Shooting. After five years, everyone will face a choice, stay with me and study, or transfer to another private school, or even go directly to an urban academy You can study children's school."

Ding Shitou repeated his original explanation, guessing the parent's intention of suddenly mentioning this.

"Of course we want Wazi to continue studying with you, but... I heard that you don't have a reputation as a scholar. If Wazi goes to sign up for the county examination in the future, the recommender..."

So it turned out to be the case, it seems that Jiangxia Village School's new trick, it really did it!

Why is Jiangxia Village School so popular? Isn't it because of the reputation of the old scholar for decades?And his eldest son's reputation as a scholar?And the second son is also a child.

These are like two living signs, and they are also trusted by families who want to send their children to the imperial examination.

But Ding Shishi has no fame...

"Uncle, Jiafu is not yet six years old, and it will be ten years before he takes the entrance examination for children's students. But my brother Ding Dian is already 12 years old, and he will be able to take the entrance examination for children's education in just a few years."
