Chapter 74 Li San's Confession

After a few days, the private school in Qin Ya's house officially started teaching.

The lecturer was Li Tao. In addition to Li Xiner, the children in class included 12-year-old Cheng Guotao; nine-year-old Bai Ruyun; eight-year-old Zeng Keer; the same age as Xiner, seven-year-old An Yuansheng; and Cheng Guotao's sibling brother , five-year-old Cheng Nianyao.

Although the children are of different ages, they are all eager to learn.

Cherish this hard-won learning opportunity very much.

Among them, 12-year-old Cheng Guotao is particularly conscientious. Every time after school, he still studies by himself in the study.

Li Tao likes this Cheng Guotao very much, and will tell him more knowledge alone.

The life here is going on in an orderly manner, and Qin Ya is also preparing to teach these women.

She first borrowed five taels of silver from Tan Lanfang, and asked Li Chenggu to go to the county town to pick out a piece of cheap fabric, and bought a needle, thread and measuring ruler.

When I came back, I first taught the women how to use the measuring ruler, and then gave them boards, made clothes samples for them, and then taught them how to cut and sew.

At the beginning, everyone was a little embarrassed to learn. After all, in this era, these skills are passed down from generation to generation, and they are generally only taught to their own family members.

Qin Ya told them these techniques so generously that everyone was embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing, you can follow me in the future. I will be responsible for batching the fabrics for you, and then give me the clothes after you learn it. I will pay you monthly wages. It is considered that I hired you. Do you think it is okay?" ?”

Qin Ya could see the hesitation in everyone's heart, so she persuaded them like this.

After hearing this, everyone said, "We will learn from Madam."

I don't know when these people began to address Qin Ya from sister Qin to wife, and to Li Tao as old man, calling Li Chenggu the master and Li Xin'er the young master.

Qin Ya corrected them many times.

"We are all ordinary people in the village. We just need to be called sisters. There is no need to call them that."

But everyone disagreed. They insisted that Qin Ya gave them a second life. In their eyes, Qin Ya was a lifesaver, and they called it so voluntarily.

After everyone started to get busy, they rarely cared about the family affairs.

The 12-year-old Erni took the initiative to clean and cook for the house. Regardless of her young age, she is used to rough work at home, carrying water, cooking, and washing clothes.

She also imitated everyone's address and called Mrs. Qin Ya.

On this day, everyone was still learning how to cut clothes, so Erni came in to bring water to everyone.

"Ma'am, I boiled a pot of water just now, everyone can drink some water and rest for a while."

"Okay, let's rest for a while, Erni is sorry for your inconvenience."

Qin Ya was so polite, but Erni couldn't help but blush.

Erni is an ordinary villager, and she doesn't know how to speak, she only knows how to do things silently.

When Cui Ni entrusted Er Ni to Qin Ya, she had the idea of ​​letting Er Ni learn crafts from Qin Ya.

But Qin Ya felt that Erni was still young. With a small body of 12 years old, she looked like an eight or nine-year-old girl. She was malnourished and her body did not develop well, and she went through such things again.

He took pity on her and said to her: "We also have a private school at home. If you want, you can let the old man guide you in writing and learning. It is also good for girls to learn more knowledge. You don't have to do these rough jobs all the time."

What she meant was to let Erni learn some knowledge, so that she would have more security when she married in the future.

Er Ni was very grateful when she heard this. She originally wanted to learn knowledge, but her sister said that girls are not qualified to learn these things, these are things that boys can learn, and only boys can take the first prize, so she dared not say any more.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ya would let her learn to read and write. She felt that the wife was not the same as the people in the village. She didn't have the prejudice against men and women in the village, and she didn't think that girls were born to be around Pots and pans swirled.

And the old man in the family often cooks.

All of this is something that Erni has never seen before.

Although she went to a private school with the rest of the children, Erni still took time out every day to cook, wash dishes, and do chores for everyone. She felt that this was what she should do when she lived here.

Qin Ya has said many times that she doesn't have to do this, but she insists on helping the family.

Qin Ya couldn't stop her anymore.

The days went on like this day after day, until Li San came to the door.

"Sister Qin, I'm really helpless, so I'm here to trouble you. I've tried all my methods in the past few months, and I really can't do anything..."

As soon as he came, he looked sad and asked Sister Qin for help.

Qin Ya thought that something serious had happened, so she hurriedly took him into the hall and ordered Er Ni to make tea.

Sitting down, he asked him, "What happened, don't worry, just tell me slowly."

Only then did Li San tell Qin Ya about those things with a bitter face.

"I know I shouldn't hide this from you, but I didn't know how to tell you before. I have liked Miss Lan for a long time. She was fine at first. I don't know how to offend her. Now she refuses to say anything. Seeing me, I really have no choice, so I want to ask Sister Qin to persuade her, at least ask me what I did wrong, and give me a chance to correct..."

Hearing what he said, Qin Ya probably had some guesses in her heart.

It's not easy for her to say anything to Li Sanduo about this matter, so she can only go to Tan Lanfang in private.

Then he said to him, "Don't worry, I'll tell Meizi Lan about this."

After Li San thanked her, he left Qin Ya's house.

After Qin Ya sent him away, she went directly to the next door.

"What are you thinking now?"

Qin Ya still planned to understand Tan Lanfang's thoughts first.

If she really didn't like Li San, it would be useless to talk about it. If it was because of the previous incident, she felt that she needed to enlighten her.

"My body is already dirty. I'm not worthy of him. Sister, stop talking..."

When Qin Ya heard this, she sighed inwardly.

Sure enough.

"That incident has passed, why do you keep thinking about not letting yourself go?"

Qin Ya held Tan Lanfang in her arms and asked softly, "Then tell me honestly, do you still like him? If he doesn't care, are you willing to live with him?"

"Why would I not want to... But if he finds out about this, I'm afraid he will look down on me, so why would I dare to wishful thinking..."

Tan Lanfang's voice drifted from her shoulders.

After getting her reply, Qin Ya felt confident.

As long as she still likes Li San, it doesn't matter. She is sure that Li San is definitely not the kind of person who goes with everyone in the village.

As long as you like each other, teach her to do the rest...
