MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 40: The dirty thoughts are revealed!

Mrs. Li was so frightened that she banged her cigarette pot on the edge of the kang and began to lecture her grandson.

“Look at how wild all of you are, your life is almost at stake! You only know how to play around all day long, but you don’t do anything serious at all!”

Jia Xi and Jia An narrowly escaped death, but at this time they were still frightened, their heads hanging down and not daring to say a word.

Jiayin watched the excitement with her fingers in her mouth, her big dark eyes full of gloating.

 The others wanted to plead for mercy, but thinking about the danger before, they kept their mouths shut.

Only Wu Cuihua, who was standing by the door, mumbled with her lips flat.

"He just fell into the water. What's the fuss? He's not dead! My son is still working hard to make money outside!"

 “Shut up! Have you forgotten what I said?”

Li Laoer shouted in a low voice with a fierce face, which made Wu Cuihua shrink her neck in fear and did not dare to speak anymore.

 Old Mrs. Li glanced at her with a dark face, then turned to Mr. Li.

“Second brother, you will teach Jiaxi and Jiaan how to read and write from now on. They don’t need to make a lot of money. As long as they stay at home and do some serious business, it is better than running around outside when the sky is full!”

 After saying that, she looked at Jia Xi Jia An again.

"From now on, you are not allowed to go out without my permission, do you understand?"

Jiaxi and Jiaan were so frightened that they dared not agree.

So they were only allowed to take care of them for one more night. Early the next morning, Li Laoer dug out a Mongolian book and started teaching seriously.

The sound of reading echoed in the courtyard of the Li family. The village chief, who happened to be walking next door, heard it and couldn't help but come over to take a look.

“Yo, Yusheng, what are you busy with?”

"Village Chief, why are you here? Come and sit in the house!" Li Laoer saw the village chief outside the door and hurriedly called him into the house.

Old Mrs. Li also heard the sound and came out of the back room with the good news in her arms, calling Hongying to pour tea.

“I heard the sound of reading in your yard, and I thought a gentleman was here, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be your own homeschooler!”

The village chief laughed and took the tea from Hongying, his heart moved, and he continued to praise.

"Yusheng's teaching is decent, but there are a few students. As the old saying goes, one sheep is for herding, two sheep are for herding. Why not... arrest all the little kids in the village and study with your children? Sample?"

"Ah, I'm afraid this isn't good..." Li Laoer hesitated a little. After all, he didn't go to school seriously, he just studied with his elder brother for two or three years.

Now I just teach my own children. If I bring other children with me, I always feel afraid of delaying other people's children.

The village chief quickly advised, "Oh, there's nothing wrong with it! They are all children from their own village. They can learn arithmetic, so they won't become blind, and they don't need to take the merit test."

 He pounded the table excitedly, eager to settle the matter immediately.

"Well, I'll go and ask later if anyone is willing to send their children, and I'll give them some food as a gift. Although everyone in the village is close to each other, I can't let Yusheng suffer in vain."

Li Laoer looked at his mother in embarrassment. The village chief had said so, and he didn't know how to answer.

However, unexpectedly, Mrs. Li simply agreed.

"Thanks to the village chief, he likes my second son. In that case, I will accept the offer on his behalf."

 “Okay, that’s great, I’ll tell the people in the village!”

The village chief has always been vigorous and resolute, so he immediately went out excitedly and went from house to house to talk.

Li Laoer was in a daze. In the blink of an eye, he became a gentleman? The family members were all happy when they heard about it. It happened to be Wu Cuihua again, who started shouting dissatisfied at this time.

"Mom, you deserve it so quickly! Why do you need to collect money when you have enough food? The fourth child just followed Liu Biaotou for a trip, and he could get ten taels of silver! The second child teaches, why? He also makes more money than the fourth child."

 At this point, she suddenly thought of Jiayi and added, "By the way, Mom, the fourth child's salary is equal to Jiayi..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Laoer couldn't listen anymore.

“What nonsense are you talking about? You’ve always known how to plot against your brothers. What else do you think of besides food and money?”

Li Laoer's originally good mood was completely ruined by Wu Cuihua.

Suddenly he remembered that Wu Ergou had been walking around the village in the past few days, and he looked at Wu Cuihua with cold eyes.

"Has Er Gouzi come back to you again to ask for money? Are you thinking of using the money at home to supplement him?"

Wu Cuihua was so shocked by his words that she trembled with fright and hurriedly said with a guilty conscience.

 “No, no! I didn’t!”

 Li Laoer looked at her with a cold face.

“Humph, it’s best not! If I find you secretly giving him money, be careful I break his legs! Then I’ll divorce you and drive you out of the house!”

Wu Cuihua was so frightened that her face turned pale and she retreated into the house.

Every family in the village also knew that the boy from the Li family fell into the water. They were scolding their children and grandchildren at home, when the village chief came to talk about sending the children to study at the Li family.

This is of course a good thing. Someone can look after the child and he can learn a few words. At least it is better than running around outside.

So, after some counting, there were actually eight or nine!

 According to the previous agreement, each family took five kilograms of sorghum and sent it to the Li family for repair. Every family expressed their gratitude and praise to Li Laoer.

The Li family was not dissatisfied with the shortage, so they happily harvested the sorghum and packed up the spare room to use as a classroom.

On the day when the class started, everyone in the village came to watch the excitement. They all squatted in the yard with their necks stretched out. The north wind blew and they didn't feel cold.

The little naughty boys who used to go up trees all day to dig out bird eggs and go down to the river to fish for small fish are now sitting on their chairs with their backs straightened, their little hands behind their backs, shaking their heads and reading along with Wu Laoer. They are really impressive. !

The sound of reading echoed in the yard of the Li family, accompanied by the chirping of sparrows on the treetops. The winter sunshine seemed to have warmed up a bit. This scene... was surprisingly warm and loving.

 Everyone smiled happily and sighed in a low voice. Thanks to the Li family, Qingshui Village has become more and more vibrant. These days are becoming more and more promising as time goes by!

Li Laoer was a little nervous at first. He felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, as if insects were crawling over his body.

 But when he learned how his elder brother taught him and taught these children the same way, he miraculously calmed down and no longer felt nervous.

Two days and three days a day, the naughty boys gradually got used to reporting to Li's house every day, and Li Laoer became more and more like a gentleman.

 He found that two of these children were really talented.

Whether writing or arithmetic, I can master it as soon as I learn it, which makes me feel even more proud and proud.

Of course this is also due to him. He gave up the wooden sticks and directly used copper coins as counting tools.

The children were extremely excited, as if they had lost their money if they counted incorrectly. How could they not learn well?

In the evening, the women from each family are always willing to come together to pick up their children and go home. They sit at Li's house for a while and chat a few words to relieve their boredom.

 Mr. Li Laoer is of course their first target of praise.

“Mr. Li, you’ve worked really hard. This stupid guy in our family can actually write his own name.”
