Chapter 274 Can't Eat Grapes Says Grapes Are Sour

Ning Qingxi briefly stated his thoughts, it is possible to teach, but the number of people is limited.

After listening to the two, they were overjoyed. Even if there is a limit on the number of people, there are still many children from Brother Paoze's family who can come to the class to learn how to read!

Although they are all brothers in the army, they are both near and far.When the two got the news, they hurried back to inform other people. If they were asked to sign up, it would be considered as a favor to those people. After thinking about it, the two of them understood that Ning Qingxi wanted to give this favor to them.

Wang Hanting and Ma Honglin sincerely admire him for having such a heart at such a young age
.

"Uncle Ma, Uncle Wang, there is also the matter of chalk and blackboard. You also agree with everyone. After registration, prepare pen and ink. If you don't have pen and ink, use blackboard chalk. You can come to class directly tomorrow."

Wang Hanting and Wang Hanting left with excitement.

Ning Qingxi originally had more than 30 people here, and with the addition of Wang Hanting's two children, there were still more than 20 places left. Ning Qingxi gave them 10 people's places, and each of them was divided into half and half. Go and inform your best brothers to let them sign up with their children as soon as possible. If they are late, they will be robbed of their places.

As for the remaining dozen or so places, Ning Qingxi planned to give them to the neighbors around here, distant relatives and close neighbors.

Thinking that many people might come to sign up later, their family seized the time to have dinner.

After a while, people came to the door one after another with their children, and they all came to sign up for classes.

Ning Qingxi wrote down the names of these people one by one, and asked people to go back first.

After Ning Qingxi discussed with Wang Xiujuan, let Li Dafeng pass on the remaining dozen or so places. Neighbors around are also on a first-come, first-served basis, and a family can only send one over, so as to take care of as many people as possible. Whoever can come here is his fate.

After Li Dafeng got this order, she went out happily. Within ten minutes after she left, someone came to Ning Qingxi.

Xiuchun led the child to Ning Qingxi's house ahead of time, before she could catch her breath, she said, "Xixi, I brought my kid here to sign up."

Ning Qingxi saw that the child's face was flushed, hiding behind Xiuchun and looking at her timidly.

"Alright Aunt Xiuchun, tell me the child's age and name, and I'll write it down for him."

Xiuchun happily reported the child's age and name before his man arrived.

Xiuchun hurriedly took the things from the man's hands, "Xixi, this is Shuxiu, my baby. Your uncle was just gathering things, so he came late."

"There is still one red bean that I haven't bought yet. I'll bring it to you when I get it tomorrow." Xiuchun man hastily added.

Ning Qingxi looked at the past, it was really the six rituals of Shuxiu: dried meat, celery, lotus seeds, longan, and one red bean was missing.

"Okay." Ning Qingxi replied.

Xiuchun took out about five taels of silver from her pocket, "I heard that the private school teachers used to pay five taels of silver for teaching, so I don't know if it's enough." She said while putting the silver on the table.

Following Chang Yuan, these people really saved a lot of money, but it's just that the small officer's family has a little money, and the big soldiers should not be able to save so much.

"They teach the Four Books and Five Classics in the imperial examinations in their private schools. What I teach here is only literacy and numeracy. You don't need so much. Aunt Xiuchun, you can just give me three taels of silver."

When Xiuchun heard this, she happily took back two taels of silver.

While the two were talking, someone else led the child in. Xiuchun said a few words to Ning Qingxi and left happily.

They have to go back to prepare pens and ink to buy blackboard chalk.

Suddenly, a lot of people came to the artisan workshop to buy chalk for the blackboard.

They are all generals in the army, big and small, and the people in the artisan workshop in the county can't afford to offend them.

Fortunately, they don't have much to do at the moment, so they can take time to help make these blackboard chalks, and these blackboard chalks are not troublesome to make, not to mention that they can make these blackboard chalks without delaying their own errands. The money they earn belongs to them. How could these people not be willing to do so?

The craftsman worked overtime all night, and made all the black chalk that everyone wanted.

The number of students has expanded, and there are not enough tables, chairs and benches. Ning Qingxi still asked them to move some of them to their homes as before, so that they could barely sit together with several people.

She also changed the classroom to another room. The original one was a bit small. Anyway, this place is empty and has many rooms. After all the furniture is moved out, it can accommodate sixty children.

Those who came first were not familiar with those who came later. Ning Daguang and the others sat on the left, while the group of children who came later sat on the right, as if there was a clear line in the middle.

The children who came to class were all greeted by their families, and no one dared to stab them randomly.

Ning Qingxi walked in and called names one by one according to the rosters he registered.

"Whoever's name I read next, just say it loudly." After Ning Qingxi finished speaking, he began to call the name: "Zhao Dahu."

The child whose name was called had not yet reacted. When his companion pushed him, he stood up with a blushing face and said, "It's me."

Ning Qingxi smiled slightly, "You don't need to stand up, just raise your hand and talk."

Zhao Huniu blushed and sat down slowly.

"Li Ersheng."

"To!"

"Zhang Chunjiang."

"arrive."

……

After the roll call, Ning Qingxi closed the roster.

"Today, let's change the teaching method. Let me tell you a story." Ning Qingxi chose an Aesop's fable and began to tell it.

Where did children at this time hear such a story?Everyone was fascinated by it, and the classroom became quiet, only Ning Qingxi's crisp voice remained.

Ning Qingxi told a very brief story about not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour.

Then she wrote down all the stories on the big blackboard with chalk, and then led them to read them word by word.

……

Li Dafeng would often come to listen to Ning Qingxi's lectures, but he didn't come every day, he only came when he had time. Today, he happened to hear Ning Qingxi's Aesop's fables.

After listening to it, when Ning Qingxi started to teach people how to read, she blinked.

Finding Fang Chunmei who was dressing Yuanbao, "Be good, these children are too comfortable in class, aren't they? They can also listen to stories. I feel like I can read after class."

After Li Dafeng finished speaking, he recounted the story of saying that grapes were sour when he couldn't eat grapes, and Fang Chunmei also listened with gusto.

"The lessons taught by Xixi are quite interesting. I don't know if they will tell stories tomorrow. If so, I will listen to them." Fang Chunmei is not interested in reading words, but if she listens to stories, she will be very interested.

When the whole family listened to Ning Qingxi's talk about Tianlong Babu, Fang Chunmei didn't hear it, and could only listen to Ning's second son and Li Dafeng's retelling, which made her regret for a long time.
