Chapter 35 Skills – Being a Teacher.
Looking at these children, they all showed signs of fatigue and hardship, with dark and rough skin. They looked haggard and thin due to long-term malnutrition.
Their clothes were worn and dirty, and some of them could only wear tattered clothes to cover their bodies. Their eyes revealed a sense of helplessness and confusion, and they looked at the small courtyard in front of them with some worry, and their little hands pinched the corners of their clothes helplessly.
Li An called the three older boys and Zhao Tong'er and instructed them, "Go to the room in the backyard and find my clothes. Then go to the kitchen to boil water and take the children to wash them thoroughly. Wear my clothes for the time being and wait for me to come back."
Afraid that the children would worry, she added, "You can use whatever is in the kitchen, but be careful about safety. This is up to you older children. I'm going out to buy clothes and dinner for you, so don't worry."
After the children nodded in agreement, Li An went out to purchase supplies.
Including children's ready-made clothes, shoes, evening meals, various dishes, meat, bedding needed at night, etc. There are also paper, pens, books and various supplies that you need.
Fortunately, there is the system space, otherwise Li An really doesn’t know how he could bring back so many things.
Clothes, shoes and socks were distributed to the children, and after they were dressed, the dishes were served and dinner was served.
During the meal, Li An asked about their names and lives.
We learned that there were three eleven-year-old boys, whose names from oldest to youngest were: Hong Gou Wa, Xu Xi Gan, and Xu Xiao Qiang.
Li An thought that these names were ugly, so he changed their names: Hong Kaijia, Xu Sheng, Xu Qiang. As for Zhao Tong'er, she was still called Zhao Tong'er, in case this was the name given to her by her relatives, Li An did not change it. The remaining 14 children were too young, so Li An gave them names one by one, following his surname, which will not be discussed here for the time being.
After a long chat, and with the children's stories, Ang Lee had a general idea of their previous lives, and the meal gradually came to an end.
Looking at the children wolfing down their food, I reminded them not to eat too much to avoid getting stomach upset, and I was also thinking about what to do with these children.
Apart from Fan Xian, he didn't have many friends, and he didn't know how to settle them down. He thought that he was short of some people to do the work, so he kept them in the courtyard for the time being and taught them some cultural knowledge.
Li An told them his decision, and the four older ones immediately called the teacher. Although the children did not understand what the word "teacher" meant, seeing their older brothers and sisters calling him teacher, they also followed suit and called him teacher.
Li An had no choice but to arrange rooms for them all after dinner and let them go to rest.
There were not enough rooms in the yard, so they had to squeeze in. The children did not resist and went to the rooms excitedly to rest. It could be seen that they became more lively.
"It seems that we need to prepare some books and teaching materials for them so that they can read and practice calligraphy." Li An said silently: "After that, we will be busy!"
In this way, Li An taught them to read and write in the morning, told fortunes in the afternoon, and taught them swordplay, leg techniques, and internal skills in the evening. A month passed like this.
During this period, except for the difficulty in learning to read, these children practiced martial arts diligently, and Hong Kaijia and his four companions were the most diligent. Not only did they learn to read and practice martial arts, but they also had to take care of their younger brothers and sisters. Gradually, they also learned to chop wood, cook, wash clothes and other chores.
“没想到这教书育人,自己还学会了两个技能。”李安望着系统面板中的“书法LV2:13/45”“为人师LV3:55/90(每提升一阶段,则教授的弟子的学习程度增加百分之十)”陷入了沉思。
"This calligraphy still needs to be better. Tong'er has been collecting her own handwriting manuscripts as teaching materials. If she grows up and finds out that her master's handwriting is actually very bad, then will I still have the face to save it?"
"And the skill of being a teacher is also very useful. If I can increase it to a high level as soon as possible, it will be very beneficial to the learning and growth of my disciples, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts. In this way, they can also grow quickly and help me sooner." Li An looked at the money he had earned in the past month and found that he had accumulated a lot. Without hesitation, he upgraded his calligraphy to the ninth level and his teaching skill to the maximum level.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching the ninth level of calligraphy skills, reaching the level of founding a school. ]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching the maximum level of his teacher skill and reaching the pinnacle (the growth rate of his disciples in all aspects has increased by 100%). ]
With a system voice, Li An's wealth value was reduced by more than 100,000 again.
Nodding, it's done now! Li An picked up the pen and continued to write the textbook he wrote on the paper. After a while, he absorbed the calligraphy experience of the system. Don't say it, this word looks pleasing to the eye and highlights the fragrance!
Just when Li An was discovering new fun, a crisp voice came:
"Teacher, the meal is ready, come and sit down to eat."
This was Zhao Tonger's voice. Li An threw the brush in his hand and said, "Eat, eat. I'm already hungry."
The disciples sat in front of the "extended" dining table in an orderly manner, waiting for Li An to take a seat. After Li An sat down, he said, "Eat." Then he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Li An found an opportunity and said to Zhao Tong'er inconspicuously, "Tong'er, let me ask you something. Where did you put the teaching materials you collected a few days ago?"
"In my room. Sometimes in the evening, I explain the textbooks to my fellow students." Zhao Tong'er put down her bowl and chopsticks and answered respectfully.
"Hey, eat, eat. Just answer while eating. No need to be so reserved." Li An motioned her to eat first and said, "Bring all those manuscripts to me later, and I'll give you another copy."
Zhao Tong'er asked curiously, "Then the previous manuscript is useless?"
Li An nodded: "Not bad."
"That's great. In this case, Tong'er will keep the previous manuscripts!" After hearing the teacher say not to be so restrained, Zhao Tong'er relaxed a little.
Ang Lee slapped his forehead, it was ruined, there was no way to recover the dog-like handwriting.
He turned to the eldest disciple and ordered, "Kaijia, go find two cooks and cleaners this afternoon. Find some with clean backgrounds, okay?"
"I understand, teacher." Hong Kaijia replied. Li An had left him a large sum of money and asked him to manage the daily expenses. Although the two of them met because of his stealing, he did it just to keep his brothers and sisters from starving. He should not be blamed, but only blamed the world with its hierarchy.
Li An also believed in him and would not do anything related to stealing again, but he felt a little sorry for those people he had stolen from before.
"Teacher, is the food cooked by Tong'er not delicious?" Zhao Tong'er curled her lips, looking aggrieved.
Seeing her lovely expression, Li An was in a good mood, but he still had to coax her patiently, saying: "Of course not, it's just that these boys have a lot of appetite these days, how can you and the two sisters handle it?"
Seeing Zhao Tong'er nodded, Li An continued, "And the learning tasks will be heavier, and the martial arts training will be more intensified. There will not be much time. You can't be distracted and caught up by your brothers and sisters!"
"is teacher."
