Chapter 17 Attending the School
The next day, Ah Li went to the school with Lin Sanrong and the four boys.

The school in the village is not as strict as the academies in the county, and people in the village can still come in and out for business.

After they entered the school.

Lin Sanrong and the older boys in the village had to go to class first, and only after Master Yuan had arranged their homework would they teach the younger ones.

He placed Ah Li in the gazebo in the yard, and asked her to sit with Si Lang for a while, and then he went to talk to his master.

Just as Lin Sanrong left, Lin Erbao and several village children walked in with small cloth schoolbags, talking and laughing.

"Hey! Isn't this the second grandma's golden bump! Why did you come to the school, Lin Dalang Lin Erlang, don't you know that girls in the school are not allowed to come in?"

"Who stipulated that girls can't come in, the master never said that." Lin Erlang immediately stood up and said to Lin Erbao.

"The master didn't say that, it's because no girl came here before, believe it or not, I'll tell the master now."

"What are you doing? Students must know how to respect and understand each other. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it."

Master Yuan was a kind old man, his hair was combed meticulously, but the silver-like white hairs were still clearly visible in the black hair.

He walked slowly from a distance in a blue-gray gown.

"Master, I'm sorry, we didn't do it on purpose. My little aunt really wants to know what the school looks like, so today we will take her to see it, and ask Master for permission."

Da Lang was afraid that Master Yuan would be angry, so he immediately apologized first.

Master Yuan smiled and stroked the gray beard on his chin, looked at Ah Li and said, "You are San Rong's younger sister, right? The school is a place for teaching and educating people. If you like it, you can take a look outside the classroom. As long as it doesn't disturb everyone's study."

When Si Lang heard this, he was immediately happy and bowed to Master Chao Yuan to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, master."

Ah Li also smiled and said sweetly to Master Yuan, "Thank you, Master."

Lin Erbao was not happy about it.

"Master, didn't you say that girls are not allowed to enter the school? My elder brother is in the county academy. I remember what he told me."

"No, no, Lin Erbao, girls also have the right to study, we should respect that, although they can't attend classes with you in the same classroom, they can still listen outside."

"Okay, you guys hurry up and read in the house, I will check the homework I learned yesterday later."

When Lin Erbao heard that Mr. Yuan was going to do a spot check, he was so frightened that he ran into the house.

He is a scumbag, he wants to sleep in class, and he only cares about playing when he goes back. He has forgotten more than half of what he learned yesterday.

If you are drawn so that you can't answer, you will be punished for copying.

Soon it was time for class, Si Langrang had no choice but to let Ah Li play outside for a while, and wait for them to accompany her after class.

Ah Li happily sat by the window watching Master Yuan shaking his head and teaching the students to recite, and he couldn't help but read along with him.

"Proficiency in industry is due to diligence, waste is in play; action is accomplished in thinking, and ruined in following."

Then the master explained the meaning of the sentences to everyone one by one.

Ah Li listened attentively, and seemed to have learned a lot after a few lessons.

After school, Ah Li happily held Si Lang's hand and bounced home.

"Father, mother, Lili is back!"

Before entering the courtyard, Ah Li shouted loudly into the courtyard.

After a while, Mrs. Pei came out of the house.

she looks
"Li Li is back! Seeing how happy you are, are you happy in school today?"

Ah Li threw herself into Pei's arms, nodded excitedly, "Mother, I'm so happy, I'm still studying!"

Mrs. Pei looked at Lin Sanrong, "Master let Lili go to class?"

Lin Sanrong replied: "It doesn't count as a class! Master is kind, it's not bad to break the rules and let Lili listen outside the window. I didn't expect Lili to be very studious. She stayed all morning. I want to send her back early. None."

"It's good, it's good. I'm thankful that Master didn't drive her out."

"Before I left, my master took a few questions in Lili's test. She answered very well and praised her for her talent for studying, so that she can attend the audition in the future."

"Sigh, it's a pity that this world has too many restrictions on women, otherwise my Lili would definitely be able to get a champion in the female examination."

Ah Li never thought about becoming a top female champion, but just thought studying was fun, so she hugged Pei's leg and said, "Mother, Li Li is hungry,"

"Hey, look at me, I'm too busy talking. You haven't had lunch after studying all morning. Go for a walk and go into the house quickly. Your sister-in-law has finished heating up the meal."

After dinner, the four men studied, and Ah Li sat in the yard to play.

Li Zhaodi shouted to Ah Li from outside the yard: "Li Li, Li Li, come out quickly."

Ah Li raised his head when he heard the voice, and ran out happily.

"Sister Zhaodi, are you coming to play with me?"

Li Zhaodi smiled shyly, "I have to go to work later, this is the red fruit I picked on the mountain in the morning, for you to eat, I tasted sour and sweet, it was delicious."

Seeing that it was delicious, Ah Li was happy to reach out to take it, but then thought that Li Zhaodi's family didn't give her food last time.

So she shook her head, "Sister Zhaodi, I can't ask for your food, you save it for dinner, or you will be hungry."

Li Zhaodi was very moved when she saw that A Li was thinking of her so much, "I have food now, Li Li, you take it and eat slowly, I have to go, or my mother will find out that it will be miserable."

After speaking, she put the fruit wrapped in big leaves on Ah Li's hands, and she turned and left.

Ah Li returned to the yard with a large bag of red fruits.

"What are you holding in your hand, Lili?"

"Sister Zhaodi picked the red fruit from the mountain."

Ah Li's hand was too small, so Mrs. Pei hurried forward to take it.

Ah Li took one out of it and fed it to her mother.

"Give it to my mother."

Pei's heart was completely softened, "My good carp is too filial, mother just taste it, and you can keep the rest for yourself."

"Give it to Da Lang and the others."

After speaking, he grabbed two handfuls and went to find Si Lang.

In the next few days, Ah Li followed Si Lang to the school to attend classes, and this matter soon spread throughout the village.

Together with some villagers, the Qin family went to the village head and said that women in the school should not go in, and the rules should not be broken.

The village head told them that Master Yuan allowed it, and those people would not allow it unless they refused.

There was no other way, so the village chief had to talk to Lin Changlu.

Ah Li overheard them in the back room when they were talking, she has learned a lot now, and she also understands what the adults are talking about.

Afterwards, before Lin Changlu and Pei Shi could tell her, Ah Li took the initiative to say that the school was not fun and she didn't want to go.

Pei and the others knew that Ah Li was not an ordinary child, and felt very distressed, but there was nothing they could do.
