The General’s Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 8: Carpenter's Help

Across the crowd, Yang Zhu saw Ning Mengyao and hurried in to greet people to explain to the villagers.

“Miss Mengyao, do you really want to teach children to read?” I can read and count, and when I grow up, I can be a bookkeeper. This is a lot of money, and I'm excited to think about it.

“Well, I promised the village chief uncle to teach the children in the village to read and calculate, but if you want them to take the exam, you can see if the children's gifts can be sent to the classroom.” Although not very enthusiastic, Ning Mengyao explained clearly to the villagers.

“Then this bundle...”

“I'm not going to take your bundle of money, you keep it for your kids to practice with ink, or buy them some delicious body tones.” Mengyao saw the dog doll and looked at her eagerly and seemed to understand that they could really learn to read.

When the crowd heard the noise and couldn't believe it, she looked at Ning Mengyao, and she didn't take their bundle? This... this...

“Girl, you...”

“Uncle, it's okay. I'm just an amateur. Teach me if you can. Don't let me teach you bad things then.” Ning Mengyao smiled slightly, like a spring breeze, warming everyone's hearts.

“How could that be? ”

“That's right, we'll thank you first. ”

“No, but the child doesn't arrive until he's five.” Ning Mengyao made a request thinking about the time when the children of previous generations really enlightened themselves.

“Why?” some family members asked puzzled.

“Five years old is the time for enlightenment, and a five-year-old is qualitative enough to sit down.” Ning Mengyao explained patiently, why she said that.

When people listen and think about it, it's true that children are too young to sit down, and they want to play around, then they understand.

Ning Mengyao smiled at them and Yang Lele went to see the carpenter's house in the village.

“Grandpa Yaoyao Li is a carpenter, and his carpenter's work is well done.” Yang Lele pointed at an old man not far from them and smiled and said.

When he heard Yang Lele say himself, old man Li looked up at Ning Mengyao and said: "What are you trying to do, girl? ”

“I want to make some tables and chairs, I don't have that many at home.” Ning Mengyao said something helpless.

“Hey, I thought what was going on, how big was it? My two sons and I will definitely make the table and chairs these two days, don't worry.” Old man Li said directly.

He has two grandchildren, one of whom is seven years old and one of whom is five years old. He can send them to read. Of course he would be happy to help.

“Grandpa Li, let's go to your house first, and I'll tell you what kind of table I'm going to make. ”

“Cheng, Zhu Zi, then I and Mengyao girl will go first.” Old man Li turned around and spoke to Yang Zhu.

“Okay.”

As soon as the old man turned around and left, the rest of the people began to argue, expressions were exciting, and some told their children, "Be sure to read with Ning Mengyao."

Ning Mengyao came to Old Li's house, and there were two middle-aged men inside, who seemed to be playing with furniture.

“Dad, are you back? What did the mayor say?” They didn't go looking because they had to rush a bunch of furniture.

“Lin and Xiaomao are able to read.” Old man Li thought of this and was happy.

When the two men listened, they hurriedly put down what was in their hands and asked Old Li what was going on. After listening to Old Li, the eyes of the two men watching Ning Mengyao were glowing.

“Let's talk about the table and chair first, shall we?” With such a burning look in his eyes, Mengyao felt a little embarrassed.

Old man Li only thought about this when he heard it. He greeted Ning Mengyao. He discussed it with the young and old. At the point of Ning Mengyao, old man Li quickly made a set of tables and chairs that could be folded.

“That's it, Grandpa Li, I want 15 tables for now, 30 chairs first, how much does that cost?” Ning Mengyao was very pleased with the table and chair, and she looked up at old man Li and asked.

Old man Li waved: “How can I ask you for money? If you teach your children to read and read, we'll work hard to stay out of the way. ”

“Yeah, girl, you just look down on us.” The two men on the side were also disgruntled.

They also want to send their son to school, but the bundle is too expensive, now that the son has the opportunity to read, of course they are happy.
