Chapter 451 New Master
Master Su decided to teach in the village private school from then on.
"...I have already told the village chief yesterday. He welcomes me to teach here."
nonsense.
How could Village Chief Liu Tielian not be happy?
A teacher who has taught a top-notch case would be sought after wherever he goes. Liu Tielan must have felt that the fact that Master Su was willing to come to Qinghewan to teach was a sign of great happiness to the ancestors of Qinghewan.
If the villagers knew that Master Su was willing to come to the village to teach, they would be eager to welcome him with drums and gongs, and anyone who tried to stop him would be an enemy.
They all hoped that their children would become scholars and top the exams like Gu Jingzhe.
Master Su saw the strange reactions of Tong Huaqiong and Hong and said unhappily, "Why? You don't welcome me to teach in the village? I've heard Lai Fu's teaching, but he's not very good. He's only suitable for teaching boxing and kicking kung fu, but not all children in the village are Nie Xiaofeng. Most children want to be Gu Jingzhe. After teaching in the village for these days, I really can't let go of these children, so I just come to the village to teach."
Tong Huaqiong and Hong looked at each other.
Master Su is quite shameless when he speaks. He has only been teaching in the village for a few days, but he can't let go of the children there.
So, didn't he teach in the private school in the town for a longer time? Why did he run away without any reluctance?
Tong Huaqiong said, "What about the students in the town?"
Master Su said, "There is a new master."
Master Su came to the village not entirely because Tong Pandidi was in Qinghe Bay.
During this period, a new teacher came to the private school in the town. This new teacher was narrow-minded. Although Master Su was a very casual person, he always regarded Master Su as an imaginary enemy and put down Master Su in front of the dean.
In this provincial examination, Pingchuan County produced two scholars, both of whom were trained by Master Su, and one of them was the top scorer. This made the new master regard Master Su as a thorn in his side, and they would try to trip him up from time to time.
Master Su disdained to compete with scoundrels, but why did a private school in a rural town actually form a gang of the Imperial College?
So Master Su took advantage of the opportunity when Su Chengmin followed Tong Huaqiong to the provincial capital to substitute for his class and directly told Liu Tielian that he would continue teaching in Qinghe Bay.
Village chief Liu Tielian naturally expressed his welcome.
No one in the village knew how well Su Chengmin taught the children, all they knew was that he taught the children to recite the entire Three Character Classic.
But compared with Master Su, Su Chengmin was too young, and there was no news that he had ever taught a top-notch case. Liu Tieshan wished that Master Su could teach the children in the village.
Tong Huaqiong said, "Since Master Su has already made an agreement with the village chief, I have nothing to say. I will leave the children of the village to you."
Anyway, Su Chengmin has mentioned twice that he doesn't want to be a teacher, but wants to be a coachman in a shop in town.
Mr. Su was willing to take over the village private school, which was exactly what he wanted.
Master Su laughed when he heard this.
At this time, the village chief Liu Tielian saw Master Su and Tong Huaqiong, and trotted over excitedly. He stopped and said, "Dashu Niang, I was just about to tell you that the village private school doesn't need Lai Fu, and now Master Su is willing to come to the village to teach."
Tong Huaqiong said that Master Su had already mentioned this matter to him and she had no objection.
The village chief was beaming with joy and said, "There is no place for Master Su to live in the village now, so we let him live in Dashu's mother's house, but your family is quite large and there is no spare room. Shopkeeper He's family is small and there are many empty houses, so it's OK to live in Shopkeeper He's house, but Shopkeeper He is in town all day and night and we're afraid that bad things will spread. Boss Qian said that Master Su can live with him temporarily. He is the only one there, and the house is big and comfortable."
Mr. Su originally wanted to say that he could live in Tong Huaqiong's old courtyard before it was expanded, but when he heard that the village chief had already made such arrangements, he felt embarrassed to bring it up again, so he nodded and agreed.
Liu Tielian asked where Master Su's luggage was.
Master Su pointed to the base of the pigsty wall.
Mr. Su's luggage was very simple, just two packages, one package of clothes and the other package of books.
Liu Tiejian ran over happily, picked up the package and left.
Master Su weighed the flowers in his arms and said, "Brother Village Chief, please take my luggage to Boss Qian first."
Judging from his attitude, he is going to Tong Huaqiong's house for dinner.
Tong Huaqiong can't refuse, right?
In the evening, Mr. Gu came to Tong Huaqiong's house and saw Master Su sitting under the porch playing with flowers, with an unhappy look on his face.
Recently, people in the village have been saying that Master Su admires Widow Tong and that Boss Qian is attracted to Widow Tong. These rumors are pouring into his ears, and he can hear them even if he covers his ears.
He didn't dare to ask in person, as if asking in person would make his son in the underground world cuckolded.
But the unhappiness is real.
Tong Huaqiong knew that Tong Huaqiong was not polite to her father-in-law, so he seldom visited her.
If there wasn't something that required his intervention this time, he wouldn't have wanted to come at all.
"grandfather."
When Chen Sufen saw Mr. Gu coming to her house, she had a bad feeling.
While her mother-in-law was away in the provincial capital, Mr. Gu came to her house and her husband lent him ten taels of silver. Chen Sufen was afraid that Mr. Gu would become more demanding and continued to lend her money.
Therefore, it is said: "Dahan is not at home."
Mr. Gu said, "I'm not looking for Dahan, I'm looking for your mother."
Chen Sufen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My mother went to Aunt Zhao's house."
Tong Huaqiong thought that Gu Daqiao would definitely need wood to build a loom.
Ordinary wood will not work. Only hard wood such as persimmon or oak will be used.
Liu Yue'e's eldest sister Liu Yuechang's family owns a hill where they grow Quercus glauca. Tong Huaqiong wanted to buy a batch of Quercus glauca firewood from Yuechang through the Liu family.
When Zhao heard this, she patted her chest and said that she would go to Yueliang Bay tomorrow to tell Liu Yuechang about this. Anyway, all the firewood in the mountain had to be sold, so it didn't matter who she sold it to. Tong Huaqiong wanted the Quercus glauca, and it saved them the trouble of looking for a buyer.
Tong Huaqiong came out of Liu's house, humming a song in the evening breeze.
"Great Summer Mother."
Old Master Gu didn't like the sight of his eldest daughter-in-law being so high-spirited.
She dresses better than Chen Sufen, so coquettish and charming.
Old Man Gu didn't want to tell the story to his daughter-in-law who was dressed like that. He wanted Old Lady Gu to tell it, but he was afraid that if Old Lady Gu saw him and his daughter-in-law, they would start fighting.
Tong Huaqiong stopped and asked, "Grandpa, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Old Man Gu shook his beard and shouted, "Dad, your mouth is hot."
He gets angry when it comes to addressing people. In the past, even though his eldest daughter-in-law was unreasonable, she still called him "father and mother". Now she is getting more and more presumptuous. Since he and Old Lady Gu returned to Qinghewan to live, his eldest daughter-in-law has never called him "father and mother".
Mr. Gu took a steady breath and said, "There are two things I want to discuss with you. The other day I heard from the Yao family that the teacher in our village private school is no longer teaching, and it's hard to find a teacher now. Ruinian is a student, and he is competent to teach these children in the village. I think it's better to let Ruinian work in the village private school first, and then make plans when a suitable teacher is found."
I don’t know how the Yao family spread the message, making Mr. Gu mistakenly believe that Su Chengmin was not qualified to be a teacher.
However, Tong Huaqiong thought that Mr. Gu was really thoughtful when he asked him to be the teacher.
Didn’t he know that Tong Huaqiong would refuse?
Old Master Gu also doesn't want Ruinian to teach. Isn't it because Wei always gives a bad face to her brother-in-law that he has to do this to suppress family conflicts?
