In the northwest corner of Tin Can Mountain, there was originally a small wooden house where bandits kept their meat horses.
Now the cabin has been demolished and two small buildings have been built.
The children who were bought from the county town lived here, one for boys and one for girls.
Between the two buildings, there are two large rooms, which are the Tin Can Mountain School.
There are two classes in total and four teachers.
Ordinary teachers would definitely not want to come here, and the teacher was a girl who bought a private school from a dental store.
When Jin Feng arrived, the school was in session. A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old stood on the podium and pointed at the blackboard with a bamboo stick: "This word means grace, kindness, the grace of saving life."
"Sir, what is life-saving grace?" a child asked.
Without waiting for the female gentleman to answer, an older child rushed to say: "Sir, I know that a life-saving grace is when someone else saves your life. This is the greatest kindness. For example, Mr. Jin bought us, which is a life-saving grace."
kindness."
"Yes, my sister said that we are all children. If we are bought back by the landlord, we will not be able to survive for even a year. Mr. Jin is our savior. I want me to repay him when I grow up!"
"My sister also said that when I grow up, I will work as a clerk in the Chamber of Commerce. She will make soap for my husband, and I will sell soap!"
"I want to be an escort and protect you sir!"
"I'm going to blacksmith for my husband. My mother said that blacksmithing is a craft that can be passed down from generation to generation!"
…
The children started chattering and discussing.
Jin Feng at the door was also very moved.
Most of the ancients had little knowledge, but were extremely simple. If anyone treated them well, they would be willing to give their hearts to you.
Such good people are forced to have no way out by the imperial court. It is simply a crime.
The classroom was also designed by Jin Feng. Since there is no glass, only two small windows were built to keep warm and block wind and rain, but two doors at the front and back were left.
One is for lighting, and the other is to facilitate evacuation in case of fire.
When the weather is hot, both doors can be opened at the same time for ventilation. When the weather is cold, the door can be closed to keep warm.
The weather is already very cold now, so the classroom only has one front door open, and the back door is ajar.
Jin Feng pushed open a crack in the door and looked inside.
Children from poor families have been in charge of their own affairs for a long time, and under the guidance of their mothers or sisters, they all know that the opportunity to go to school is rare, so they all study very seriously, sitting upright and staring at the blackboard.
There was only one child lying on the table, fast asleep, with a pool of drool drooling from the corner of his mouth.
Wan Yuhong also saw this situation through the crack in the door. He was so angry that he pushed open the door, strode over, and pinched the sleeping child's ears.
"Wan Heming! Get up!"
It could be seen that Wan Yuhong was really angry. He grabbed the child's ears and pulled him up forcefully.
"Who is it? Let go! It hurts!"
The child woke up in pain and slapped the hand holding his ears angrily.
After a few hits, I realized it was my sister, and I was immediately frightened: "Sister, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were sleeping in the school every day!"
Wan Yuhong was so angry that she burst into tears.
This younger brother is all her hope. It was so difficult in the beginning and she tried her best to protect her younger brother, but now she has twisted out the blood from his ears.
Can you not be angry? Sir, you are so busy. You sit in the laboratory every day and don’t even bother to go home. You came to Iron Can Mountain just for your younger brother, but your younger brother is sleeping in the school...
If Wan Yuhong makes such a fuss, the teaching will definitely not be able to continue.
All the children turned their heads and laughed and watched the fun.
The teacher was also a little confused.
There are not many scholars these days, especially girls who have studied, and there are even fewer girls. Therefore, the female workers in the mountains always respect her, and no one ever dares to come to the school to cause trouble.
Wan Yuhong finally realized that something was wrong and quickly apologized to the teacher: "I'm sorry, sir, I just saw Wan Heming sleeping, so I couldn't help myself and came in."
"Sister, please let go, I know everything Mr. Teach you!" Wan Heming shouted unconvinced.
"You can't sleep even after the meeting. Our father said that we should respect teachers and teach, have you forgotten?"
Wan Yuhong lectured.
"Sister, please let He Ming go. He really knows how to do it."
The teacher also walked off the podium and said a little embarrassedly: "He knows more words than me..."
"Then you can't sleep in the school. This is disrespectful to your husband. If my father were here, I would definitely hang him up and beat him!"
Wan Yuhong still felt sorry for her brother after all. When she found that her brother's ears were bleeding, she still let go of her hand.
But he slapped him hard and said, "Hurry up and apologize to sir!"
"Sir, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Wan Heming had no choice but to bow to the teacher.
The female teacher was about to speak when she saw Jin Feng coming in from the back door and quickly saluted Jin Feng.
The children surrounded Jin Feng with a roar, saying hello all over the place.
"Mr. Kim!"
"Mr. Jin, you're finally here. You haven't finished listening to the story from last time!"
"Yes, Mr. Jin, Nezha killed the Dragon King's third prince, is the old Dragon King willing?"
…
When Jin Feng was at Tin Can Mountain, he had nothing to do after dinner, so he took a cool breath in the open space and told stories to the children.
When talking about Nezha, it was said that after Nezha killed the third prince, Jin Feng went back after building the workshop, but the children were so anxious that they looked forward to Jin Feng coming back every day to finish telling the rest of the story.
"I have something to do now. After dinner in the evening, we all go to the open space. I will finish telling you about Nezha!"
Jin Feng said with a smile.
The children immediately cheered happily.
On the other side, Zuo Feifei's mother, Zuo Zhang, learned that Jin Feng was coming and immediately ran to the cafeteria.
Pulling Zuo Feifei aside, she asked in a low voice: "Feifei, I heard Mr. Jin is here?"
"Yeah, just arrived."
"Then what are you still doing here? Why don't you go hang out with your husband?" Zuo Zhang asked anxiously.
"Sir, you are here to find the young genius from the Wan family. Why should I accompany you?"
Zuo Feifei pinched the corner of her clothes and said.
There are too many girls in Dakang. Zuo Feifei has marks on her face and it is difficult to get married. Her mother had already given up and decided that mother and daughter would live dependent on each other in Iron Can Mountain for the rest of their lives.
But ever since she heard that Jin Feng didn't care about superstitions and married a night charm, Zuo Zhang's mind came alive again, and she always encouraged Zuo Feifei to take the initiative to approach Jin Feng.
Zuo Feifei is not a fool. She knows what her mother has planned.
In fact, she was also very fond of Jin Feng, especially after Jin Feng's poems reached Iron Can Mountain, Zuo Feifei was completely smitten. Every time she saw Jin Feng, she couldn't help but be happy.
But girls in the feudal era were too reserved. Zuo Feifei and Jin Feng would blush after saying more than a few words. How could they dare to confess?
"Stop pretending to be confused!"
Zuo Zhang stretched out her hand and tapped Zuo Feifei's forehead: "You are already eighteen years old this year. When I was your age, you could recite ancient poems!"
