Lu Jiao also spoke, “Though their two sons like to curse, we can still help them and educate them to be good boys. You can treat it like we are doing uncle Han a favor.
The Third and Fourth Born weren’t convinced, “But they called you bad names.”
“Yeah! I don’t like them.’
Lu Jiao patted their heads. “I know you’re worried about me but let’s do this to help out uncle Han.”
The four little ones recalled the days when their dad lied in bed, paralyzed. They finally nodded, “Okay.”
Though they agreed vocally, they were still in a bad mood. Lu Jiao pulled them up and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go play on the slides. The paint should be dry now and you can slide down. I specifically made those slides for my sons. Of course, it should be my sons who play on them first.”
The four little ones were instantly happy. With Xie Yunjin following them, the whole family went into the yard to play on the slides.
Since the four little ones have never played on the slides, they were overly excited.
Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin stood on each side, protecting them, terrified that an accident might happen. Given that the four little ones have been exercising regularly and were now very agile, they were totally fine.
The four little ones were so happy to be playing on the slides, they laughed as they slid down.
The craftsmen who were working inside the east wing heard all the noises and came out to see what was happening. Given how happy the children were, the craftsmen were now confident that families would be interested in having slides built for them.
After some playtime, the four little ones excitedly ran back to Lu Jiao,
“Mommy, let’s invite sister Xiaoxiao over to play.”
The children obviously got along better with Hu Lingxue and thought of sharing the good things with her.
Lu Jiao thought about it. Since there were already seven children at her place, what was one more? She agreed.
“Okay, I will let your uncle go to Hu’s house and ask your aunt if she agrees. If she does, we’ll let Xiaoxiao come to study and play with you tomorrow.”
As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, Xie Yunjin immediately followed up, “I’m going to the magistrate’s office this afternoon. I’ll talk to Hu Shan about it.”
Lu Jiao nodded, “Okay.”
The next day, the two teachers from the Zhao family brought Zhao Yuluo to Xie’s house.
The two teachers were not particularly young – about forty years old. One of them was a man and the other was a woman. The male teacher’s surname was Pan, Pan Lianzhou. The female teacher’s surname was Shi, Shi Hui.
Lu Jiao talked to the two teachers and found that they were not conservative people. On the contrary, they spoke humorously and were quite suitable for teaching children. It seems that Zhao Lingfeng had put in a lot of effort in selecting teachers for his daughter.
Lu Jiao smiled at the two teachers and said, “Mr. Pan and Ms. Shi, let’s divide the courses that each of you will teach.”
Pan Lianzhou and Shi Hui nodded, and Lu Jiao handed them the course schedule, saying, “Mr. Pan, you’ll be mainly responsible for teaching literature, art, and agriculture. For literature, you can read stories to the children and guide them through the different readings. In terms of art, you can teach them how to draw and design art layouts. As for agriculture, you can work with the children to cultivate the germination process of crops such as rice and wheat.”
After hearing this, Lu Jiao looked toward Mr. Pan and asked, “Does that sound okay?”
Mr. Pan lowered his head to review the curriculum and became more and more interested. He nodded happily and said, “No problem, no problem, please feel rest assured, Lu Jiao.”
“Luo Jiao smiled and said, “Then from now on, Mr. Pan will be responsible for the morning classes.”
After speaking, she turned to Ms. Shi and said, “Ms. Shi will mainly be responsible for handcrafts and music classes in the afternoon. I will be responsible for math and role-playing games, which will also be scheduled for the afternoon. Since I don’t have a fixed schedule, I will arrange them at will. If I don’t have time to teach the children in the afternoon, Ms. Shi can take the children to do outdoor activities.”
The two teachers understood Luo Jiao’s arrangement and immediately agreed.
Luo Jiao looked at them again and said, “Each class will only last for the time it takes to burn a joss stick. Then the children can go out to play for half a joss stick. ”
Mr. Pan and Ms. Shi wanted to say something when they heard this, but when they saw the determined look on Lu Jiao’s face, they didn’t say anything.
Lu Jiao called the children into the room, including her own four children, Han Dongsheng and Han Nanfeng from the Han family, as well as Zhao Yuluo and Hu Lingxue.
The eight children stood together in the front hall and looked at Lu Jiao and the two teachers beside her.
Lu Jiao introduced them, “This is Mr. Pan and Ms. Shi. They will teach and play with you from now on.”
Zhao Yuluo proudly interjected, “Mr. Pan and Ms. Shi are hired by my family.”
Lu Jiao sternly scolded Zhao Yuluo, “Zhao Yuluo, you are not to interrupt when adults speak. The teachers are also no longer just for your family. Mr. Pan and Ms. Shi are now everyone’s teachers.”
Zhao Yuluo listened to Lu Jiao’s words and wanted to refute them, but she knew that Lu Jiao was not a woman who would coax her if she cried. Zhao Yuluo pursed her lips and remained silent.
Lu Jiao looked at the eight little ones and said, “Mr. Pan will teach you and play with you in the morning from now on. Ms. Shi and I will teach you in the afternoon.’
The four little ones responded in unison, “Yes, mommy.”
Luo Jiao smiled and continued, “No talking during class, listen to the teacher, no cursing, and no causing trouble.”
When Luo Jiao said this, she looked at the two brothers from the Han family.
The elder brother, Han Dongsheng, had a frown on his face and looked unhappy. He had been beaten by his father when he went back yesterday, and his butt still hurt today, so he didn’t dare to curse.
The younger brother, Han Nanfeng, was young and excited to see so many other children. He forgot what his brother told him when he arrived and was already happy to think about the slides outside.
After she arranged everything, Luo Jiao handed the schedule over to Mr. Pan to start teaching the children in the morning. She left the room with Feng Zhi, Lu Gui, and Ms. Shi.
When Luo Jiao came out, she instructed Feng Zhi to take Ms. Shi to rest in the room while she planned to go to Baohe Tang later to see what was happening with the acre of land that Zhao Lingfeng bought for her.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yunjin came back and saw Luo Jiao. He immediately asked with concern, “Is everything arranged properly? How are the two teachers? Are they okay? If not, I’ll find someone else.”
Luo Jiao smiled and said, “The two teachers are quite easy-going and humorous, which is suitable for teaching the children. It seems that Zhao Lingfeng has put in some effort for his daughter.”
After he heard Luo Jiao’s words, Xie Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief. The children’s affairs were arranged properly. That meant he and Luo Jiao could do other things with peace of mind.
“That’s good..”
