Across the crowd, Yang Zhu saw Ning Mengyao and quickly called people in to explain to the villagers.

"Girl Mengyao, are you really willing to teach your children to read?" If you can read and count, you can be a bookkeeper when you grow up. This salary is a lot, and I feel excited just thinking about it.

"Well, I promised the village chief uncle to teach the children in the village literacy and arithmetic, but if you want your children to be admitted as scholars, you can see if the children's talents can be sent to the school." Ning Mengyao Although he was not very enthusiastic, he still explained it clearly to the villagers.

"Then this Shu Xiu..."

"I don't plan to take you as a disciple. You can keep the money to buy some pens and ink for your children to practice calligraphy, or buy some delicious food for your children to replenish their health." Ning Mengyao saw Gouwazi and the others looking at them eagerly. Looking at her, she seemed to understand that they could really learn to read.

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar and looked at Ning Mengyao in disbelief. She didn't accept their training? This this…

"Girl, you are..."

"Uncle, it doesn't matter. I'm just an amateur. If you can teach me, just teach me. Then don't blame me for not teaching well." Ning Mengyao smiled slightly, as if she was taking a breath of spring breeze, which made everyone feel warm in their hearts.

"how could be."

"That's right, then we'll thank you first."

"No, but the child can't be sent here until he is five years old." Ning Mengyao thought of the time when the child in her previous life was truly enlightened and made a request.

"Why?" Some family members asked in confusion.

"A child's enlightenment is when he is five years old, and a five-year-old child already has a certain personality and can sit still." Ning Mengyao patiently explained why she said that.

When everyone heard this, they thought it was true. Children who are too young can't sit still and want to play everywhere, so they will understand.

Ning Mengyao smiled at them. Yang Lele was going to visit the carpenter's house in the village.

"Yaoyao Grandpa Li is a carpenter, and he is very good at carpentry work." Yang Lele pointed to an old man not far from them and said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Lele talk about himself, Old Man Li looked up at Ning Mengyao: "Girl, what do you want to do?"

"I want to make some tables and chairs. I don't have that many tables and chairs at home." Ning Mengyao said helplessly.

"Hey, what did I think it was? What a big deal. My two sons and I will definitely make the tables and chairs in the next two days. Don't worry." Old Man Li said directly.

He has two grandsons, one is seven years old and the other is five years old. Both of them can be sent to learn how to read. Of course he is happy to help them with this small favor.

"Grandpa Li, let's go to your house first, and I'll tell you what kind of table I want to make."

"Okay, Zhu Zhu, girl Mengyao and I will leave first." Old Li turned around and said to Yang Zhu.

"OK."

The old man and the young man turned around and left, and the remaining people began to talk with each other, their expressions full of excitement. Some even told their children that they must follow Ning Mengyao and learn to read well.

Ning Mengyao came to Old Man Li's house. There were two middle-aged men inside, who seemed to be beating up furniture.

"Dad, are you back? What did the village chief say?" They had to drive a batch of furniture, so they didn't go over to take a look.

"Our Lin'er and Xiaomu can learn to read." Old Man Li felt very happy when he thought of this.

When the two men heard this, they quickly put down their things and asked Old Man Li what was going on. After hearing what Old Man Li said, the two men looked at Ning Mengyao with bright eyes.

"Grandpa Li, let's talk about the tables and chairs first, right?" Ning Mengyao felt a little embarrassed when she was looked at by such burning eyes.

After hearing this, Old Man Li thought about this matter and called Ning Mengyao. The old man and the young man started discussing it. Under Ning Mengyao's guidance, Old Man Li quickly made a set of foldable tables. chair.

"That's it. Grandpa Li, I want fifteen tables for now, and thirty chairs first. How much will it cost?" Ning Mengyao was very satisfied with the tables and chairs. She looked up at Old Man Li and asked.

Old Man Li waved his hand: "How can I ask you for money? You don't even bother to teach your children how to read, so let's just put in some effort and not get in the way."

"Yes, girl, you are just looking down on us." The two men next to him also looked dissatisfied.

They also want to send their son to school, but the education is too expensive. Now that their son has a chance to read, they are of course happy.
