He Qiusheng originally didn't intend to teach the two children to read. In his eyes, the situation of the two children was a little like him. They were all stuck in a quagmire and couldn't get out of their struggles.

But the perseverance of these two children and the determination to resist fate made him slowly awaken his already desperate heart. He thought that he should be able to do his best to do something for these two children. For example, let them leave this remote and backward village to live in a better place. No matter how hard these two children worked so hard, they would never be worse than they are now. But now Xu Nannan surprised him again, so he wanted to do more.

Seeing Xu Nannan hesitating and not speaking, he sighed helplessly.

Naturally, he knew what the child was worrying about. It was a big environment and there was nothing wrong with it, so he was not angry. Moreover, the child still secretly helped him despite his concerns, it seemed to be commendable.

"I teach students to have their own methods. It doesn’t take long to have classes when they have lunch at noon. I don’t have to teach them all the time. I will show you the method so that you can learn by yourself. If you don’t understand, you can ask me. Don't tell outsiders. Later, you will say that you heard it at school."

Xu Nannan felt embarrassed when he heard this. She is indeed afraid of being known. Especially after the public trial meeting of Mrs. Xu, she became even more scared.

Some things are no longer stories told by people, but things that actually happen before their eyes. If she were alone, she might be bolder, but there was a small man behind her.

"Uncle He, I am careful." Xu Nannan blushed.

He Qiusheng smiled indifferently, "What's the matter, it's good for you, you are still young, and you should be cautious. If you leave here in the future, you must keep it."

After speaking, he smiled and looked at Xu Nannan, "Why, dare you to learn knowledge from me?"

"Hmm." Xu Nannan nodded repeatedly. A university professor is willing to teach her and Xiaoman, how could she not be rare. She doesn't need to learn it herself, but there is still Xiaoman.

Although she can teach herself, she just casually teaches handwriting and arithmetic. How can a professional teacher teach it? And she is very curious as to what level of knowledge her own is equivalent to in this era.

"Teacher He!" Xu Nannan called respectfully.

He Qiusheng smiled and nodded, feeling a little melancholy. For a long time, no one called his teacher.

At dinner, Xu Nannan told Xu Xiaoman about studying with He Qiusheng.

Xu Xiaoman nodded, "Sister, I will study hard."

"Xiaoman, are you still thinking about the person hitting you?" The person in Xu Nannan's mouth is Xu Jiansheng, but now both of their sisters are not happy to have a relationship with the old Xu family, and they don't even want to call Xu Jiansheng. Up.

"Sister, let's not mention him. He is a bad guy." Xu Xiaoman said boredly.

"Then why are you not happy?"

Xu Xiaoman sniffed, "Sister, I just can’t figure it out. Aunt Osmanthus loves Brother Mu Mu and Brother Stone so much, why neither of us hurts. I used to think that Dad didn’t like us, but he is better than milk, he Don’t beat us. But he’s more cruel than milk! Sister, why are we two kids who no one hurts. Are we really good kids?"

The child began to doubt himself.

No way, she sometimes forgets, Xiaoman is only nine years old. To put it in the future, that is, children in the third grade of elementary school, parents are spoiling them, and they are compliant.

But this child was born in the old Xu's family, and has never had a good day since he was a child. Perhaps before being beaten by Xu Jiansheng, Xu Jiansheng should be her last expectation, and as a result, this expectation was shattered in front of her. So the child is not confident anymore.

"Xiaoman, you believe sister, you are a good boy. Otherwise, Aunt Osmanthus, Uncle He, Grandma Chen, Aunt Dahong and they won't help us. Others don't like us, it's not necessarily that we are not good, it may be I’m not good. Xiaoman, in my sister’s eyes, you are the best child and the most sensible child. Xiaoman, which bad boy will bleed and hurt my sister. So in my sister’s heart, you are the best and the most sensible. Distressed."

"Sister, elder sister, I will only be you in the future." Xu Xiaoman cried with Xu Nannan in his arms.

"Don’t cry or cry. In the future, Xiaoman will still be a useful person, but I can’t make people laugh. I will tell you a story tonight. By the way, by the way, I went to the supply and marketing agency to buy you sweets today. I bought all the white rabbit toffee."

"Sister, you're wasting money again." Xu Xiaoman said with a stuffy nose.

Xu Nannan waved his hand boldly and said in a joking tone, "It's okay, sister is not bad for money."

This is true. The stamp collection she kept in the shop a while ago has been bought. Sold for six thousand yuan.

In fact, Xu Nannan knew that this stamp collection would definitely not only cost so much money in the future, but the items in her store had never been sold at such a high price before. She was worried that the price could not be sold if it was set high, so she had to lower the price.

But for her now, the six thousand dollars is not a lot.

After a few days, she was planning to go back to the city to get a set of stamps, and then go to the junk market to see if there was anything left to pick up. But I can’t just sit back and eat, I’m about to start doing my old business seriously.

At noon the next day, He Qiusheng started teaching Xiaoman to class. As stated before, when eating at noon, He Qiusheng finished his meal early and came to work on the mountain and taught by the way.

He Qiusheng is worthy of being a professor at the provincial university, and he is very good at teaching students. Xiaoman's talent is not good, and she is not as good as her peers. After He Qiu gave birth to a few questions, he knew how strong Xu Xiaoman's foundation was. Then follow the good temptation, the first class let Xu Xiaoman get twice the result with half the effort. Especially the learning methods he taught, even Xu Nannan from the 21st century was surprised. I feel that the cultural people at this time are really amazing.

After teaching at noon, He Qiusheng asked Xu Nannan a few questions to find out.

Xu Nannan looked at the elementary school math problem on the paper, and was struggling a few times, but he actually worked out the problem. No way, it was too simple, she was embarrassed to do something wrong.

When He Qiusheng finished his busy trip, he came back and took the time to read the test papers. He was taken aback by surprise. "You are a solid student of self-taught."

He Qiusheng said in surprise. Then he looked serious and asked a few more questions.

This time I went straight to the junior high school topic. Xu Nannan fumbled and did two questions, and the other questions were empty. There is only an elementary school in the village...

Rao is like this, when He Qiusheng came back to see the two questions she answered, his heart was not small.

Self-study can even learn so solidly, and also can use the knowledge that has not been studied to make problems that have not been studied. This is a very high talent. And this child is still in that kind of family, and there is absolutely not much time to learn.

What a pity, what a pity. Such a good seedling is actually buried in this small village. What is even more pity for him is that if he has not fallen into this position, he is still a teacher at the provincial capital university. He must personally teach this child, let her use her talent to the extreme, and she must be an unlimited talent in the future.

At this time, he hoped that Li Chengwen would come later, so that he could teach the child more and make her start a little higher. Walk a little farther than others.

Unfortunately, Li Chengwen didn't know what He Qiusheng was thinking.

For a while, he has been struggling, on the one hand, he is a mentor who is kind to him, on the other hand, he is his wife and children. All kinds of concerns made it difficult for him to choose. But these days he is not feeling well, his conscience has been condemned, he can't eat well, and he can't sleep well. When he woke up from the dream, his mentor pointed at him and called him ungrateful.

After suffering for these days, he finally decided that he still had to visit He Qiusheng in person. No matter whether you can help the teacher or not, you always have to visit him.

He didn't plan to tell his lover Yuan Li about this. He knew that if he said that, Yuan Li would definitely not agree. At that time, there will be trouble at home again.

After a few days of preparation, Li Chengwen arranged the work, and prepared a sum of money in his arms, and boarded the car to Rongshu Town.

When Li Chengwen arrived at Xujiacun, Xujiacun was busy handing in public food.

This is the big event of the year. The task was given above, how much grain should be produced per mu of land, how much should be handed in, and how much should be allocated. If it can’t be achieved, it may end up all year long and still have to owe debts.

The busier the village, the more idle the mountain. The big fat pigs raised by Xu Nannan have to be raised for a month before they are handed in. In addition to studying, they usually go everywhere to feed the pigs. Try to get more fat in the pigs.

Fortunately, she has a strong receptive ability. According to He Qiusheng's words, she is advancing by leaps and bounds, so learning doesn't take much time.

The more she was like this, the more He Qiusheng felt that it was a pity. He felt that if he gave more time to teach, Xu Nannan might be able to go directly to the college student.

But he also knew that this was impossible. The children can't be delayed here anymore. You can study here, and you can study outside. The life outside, here is nothing comparable.

When Li Chengwen found the farm, He Qiusheng was shoveling pig manure in the pigpen. Xu Nannan threw hogweed on the side. Both of them had dry mouths on their faces. Li Chengwen looked at this scene and almost thought that he was looking for the wrong place.

"Sister, someone is coming."

Xu Xiaoman, who was doing math problems, suddenly found an outsider and hurriedly reported the letter. Because of the recent secretly studying with He Qiusheng, she has developed a high degree of alertness. Always worried that others will harm them and Uncle He.

Xu Nannan and He Qiusheng looked at the entrance subconsciously when they heard this. He Qiusheng saw the person coming with a bit of clarity in his eyes, as if he had realized that this person would come a long time ago.

He put down his shovel and took off his mask as usual, "Written, you are here."

"Teacher?!" Li Chengwen exclaimed the moment He Qiusheng turned around and took off his mask.

At this time, He Qiusheng's hair was gray, his face turned yellow, and he was old and haggard. It didn't look like the spirited spirit in the school at the beginning. The teacher in his memory was handsome, elegant, and good-talking. Before coming, he imagined He Qiusheng's situation many times, but he never dared to think of it.

He knows that Teacher He is only ten years older than him. How could a person who is already in his late fifties and who is in his late fifties become so old.

Compared with Li Chengwen's excitement and shock, He Qiusheng seemed very indifferent.

He walked out of the pigpen and patted the ends of his sleeves as he walked. "Unlucky for you, I just sorted the pigsty."

Xu Nannan also followed out. When He Qiusheng shouted two words into writing, she still didn't react. Later, when she heard this person calling the teacher, she remembered the letter sent out for He Qiusheng before. The recipient was Li Chengwen, who was also the deputy mine manager of Nanjiang County Iron Mine.

This person actually came, Xu Nannan looked at him in surprise. He keeps his head, wears glasses, is tall and looks very serious. Looks like a leader.

"Teacher, you have suffered..." Li Chengwen's voice was a little choked.

Seeing this person crying, Xu Nannan felt that his mood was a little affected, so he went to the house. After a while, he came out with two glasses of water and asked Xu Xiaoman to help move the bench out. Since this person is a student of Uncle He, she now comes to see Uncle He, and she doesn't have to worry about others knowing about her relationship with Uncle He.

"Uncle He, let the guests come over and drink some water, sit down and talk."

Li Chengwen looked at her, "Is this?" He only noticed the teacher just now, but didn't see anyone next to him.

"It's also my student, speaking of it, it's your junior sister." He Qiusheng smiled and said bluntly. "Go, let's sit and talk."

Li Chengwen looked at Xu Nannan in surprise, but didn't ask much. After seated, he looked at He Qiusheng again, "Teacher, you haven't heard anything about you in the past few years. Many classmates have been asking about your situation, but we have no news at all. I only know that someone has reported something and asked you to... "

The smile on He Qiusheng’s face suddenly faded, “It’s all over, it’s useless to say more. It’s no good if you know it. Let others not inquire about it in the future. I’m pretty good here, don’t worry.”

"How can it be good here, teacher, you are a talented person, how can you do these things." Li Chengwen looked at the pig pen and couldn't help crying. The man does not flick when he has tears, but he is not sad. There is something that saddens him more than watching the unfair treatment of the person he admires most.

"Well written, you are so old, how come you still have the same temperament as before. You have to be calmer. I heard that you are now the leader of the county iron mine, very good. There is a lot to do in the future."

He Qiusheng smiled indifferently.

When He Qiusheng praised him, Li Chengwen was still a little embarrassed, "I am among these classmates, so it is good." After saying that, he said seriously, "Teacher, although my ability is inferior to others, I must I will try my best to pick you up from here. I will find someone to deal with when I go back. I believe in the teacher's innocence."

There may be concerns before coming, but after seeing He Qiusheng's situation, Li Chengwen felt that if he was indifferent, it would be really ungrateful. When the teacher saved their students, he didn't risk his life.

"No," He Qiusheng waved his hand and shook his head with a smile, "I'm used to it here, and I'm getting older, and it's pretty good to take care of it here. Under the chrysanthemum east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely. There is also a bit of artistic conception here. No worse than life in the city."

"teacher……"

Li Chengwen also wanted to persuade him. He Qiusheng interrupted him, "Written, I know you are a good student, otherwise I won’t write to you. I know other people may not come when they receive a letter, but you will. Come. I’ve lived here for a few years and I’ve gotten used to it. Maybe there was a misunderstanding back then, or maybe it was deserved. It doesn’t matter. Don’t go into it anymore. I don’t want to get older and let my students end up. I ended up here. If it wasn't for something to ask you to stretch out your hand, I would never let you see me like this. The teacher also has the pride of the teacher, so don't force it anymore."

Listening to He Qiusheng's words, Li Chengwen choked in his heart, and was unable to speak for a long time uncomfortably. It took a long time to take a deep breath, "Teacher, you said, as long as I can do it, I will do it. If I can't do it, I will do it too."

He Qiusheng glanced at Xu Nannan who was feeding the pigs, and then at Xu Xiaoman who was doing the problem seriously, "It's for these two children."

"Speaking of which, these two children have some fate with you. Their father is also in the mine. However, these two children are not in his light."

He Qiusheng briefly talked about the situation of the Xu Nannan sisters to Li Chengwen.

Li Chengwen didn't expect it would happen by coincidence that the new student enrolled by his teacher turned out to be Xu Jiansheng's daughter.

It is said that this incident was also reported in the mine at the time. It seems that Xu Jiansheng's daughter was forced to marry by family members. For this matter, he and several leaders even came forward and talked with Xu Jiansheng.

Now that he knows the details of the Xu Nannan sisters, Li Chengwen feels that when he talked with Xu Jiansheng before, his attitude was too kind.

"Teacher, do you want me to take them to town?"

Without He Qiusheng's words, Li Chengwen had guessed this. Now the only opportunity for these two children to change their destiny is to enter the city.

He Qiusheng nodded slightly, feeling a little bit sad.

Li Chengwen thought for a while and said seriously, "After the year, the mine will have a recruitment exam. I will find a way to arrange for Xu Nannan to take the exam at that time, so that she can enter the mine, and then arrange a good job for her." This is easy to say. , There are many places to operate. After all, there are many people staring at those positions in the mine in my heart. Not to mention a good location. He had never done this kind of going through the back door before, but this time He Qiusheng seldom opened his mouth. Maybe it was only once in his life, and he was willing to make exceptions for many things.

After saying this, he began to wonder what position Xu Nannan should be assigned.

"No special arrangement." He Qiusheng interrupted his thoughts. "She's still young, so it's not a good idea to hold her too high. I didn't teach her for a long time, but I found her talent is pretty good. It's okay to ask her to go to the mine to be a temporary worker. If possible, let her go to night school. , Let her get in on her own ability."

In the end, it seemed that I was a little relieved, "If you really can't pass the test...you can help."

Li Chengwen nodded seriously, taking the matter to heart. Can't help but look at Xu Nannan. The teacher made an exception to write to him, and thoughtful of her in this way, it seems that he really likes this child.

When the younger brother went to school, the teacher didn't seem to care much. By the way, Junior Brother doesn't know where to go now, so don't mention it.

When the matter was over, He Qiusheng did not let Li Chengwen stay for a long time, but asked him to return to the city quickly so as not to be discovered.

"Don't come later." He Qiusheng confessed when Li Chengwen was leaving.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengwen suddenly knelt on the ground, knocked He Qiusheng a few heads, got up and strode down the mountain.

Xu Nannan looked at this from a distance, thinking that Uncle He must have been a great teacher before, otherwise he would not be so liked by the students.

After Li Chengwen left, He Qiusheng returned to work as usual. He didn't say a word to Xu Nannan about what he said to Li Chengwen.

He did not say, Xu Nannan naturally did not ask too much. I even think that this kind of confidential matter, I still don't know it.

Li Chengwen came and went in a hurry, and did not bring any changes to He Qiusheng, the whole Xujiacun was also preparing for the harvest in the lively atmosphere.

The grain distribution in the team is based on "six people work for four" or "person seven work for three." The so-called "people six labor four" or "people seven labor three" means that the grain produced by the production team is paid in the national common grain, also called "patriotic grain", and 60% or 70% of the remaining grain is taken out. Divided by population, the other 40% or 30% is based on labor, which is the work points earned. The principle of "person seven" is because some families have fewer labor and more children and cannot earn work points. People often say that they are "old and lacking households". If you increase the proportion of labor and work points, you will definitely not be able to get enough food. In order to take care of these people, this approach was adopted. The principle of the "Four of Labors" is a distribution method with an incentive mechanism. Whoever has more labor will naturally get more food.

As a person with work points, Xu Nannan also participated in this autumn grain distribution. Of course, Xu Xiaoman can also be part of it. Old lady Xu used to say that Xu Xiaoman belonged to the category of eating for nothing, because she felt that she had not been able to earn work points and was the only person in the family who could not earn food for the ‘four’.

Xu Nannan is a breeder. This is a regular job for the production team, so he is a full-time job. If you count it this way, you can get a lot of work points. With the addition of Xu Xiaoman's share, it can be calculated to be more than 300 catties of grain. My sister eats very little. She usually grows a la carte and digs some wild vegetables to eat together, and she can eat it for a year.

So when Xu Gensheng thought about the amount of food that Xu Nannan's family could divide, many people were a little jealous.

As much as two and a half-year-old children can eat, this share of food is about to catch up with adults.

It was also at this time that Xu Nannan really discovered the benefits of the job Xu Gensheng had arranged for her. Although there are no holidays throughout the year, there are really a lot of work points.

"Nannan, why did you lose weight?"

Xu Nannan was signing, when someone suddenly came over. When Xu Nannan heard this voice, the corners of his mouth crooked and looked back at the person coming. Why did she forget that Li Jing and those nephews and nieces all belong to the scope of'Ren Six'.

Li Jing looked at her and smiled gently. "Why don't you talk anymore when you see Mom?"

"The old Xu family has already written a letter of guarantee to draw a line from me. I don't know what to call you. Uncle Gen Sheng also knows about this, right, uncle Gen Sheng?"
