The casual life of the flat space

Chapter 290 Whatever You Say

There were some smart kids who carefully put away the paper, but there were also some who didn't want to be restrained and started to make plans after hearing this. Seeing this, Jing Li wanted to step forward to persuade him, but Bai Tieying coughed. Jing Li naturally stopped "meddling". She felt that she could ask later if she didn't understand something.

The one-hour teaching was extended to half an hour because of the morning rush. When the class was over, the children were much more active than the adults on the kang. Although according to the school rules, they had to line up to leave the courtyard according to gender and size, but as soon as they left the courtyard, their true colors were exposed.

So the adults who were queuing at the kitchen door and putting on their shoes couldn't help but start cursing loudly, but then they felt that it was not in line with the atmosphere of the school and stopped talking immediately. There was another period of chaos and confusion.

After seeing everyone off, Bai Tieying went to see her uncle and was relieved to learn that he was just a little noisy and would be fine after a rest. She left Uncle Dafu to accompany her uncle, and she and Jingli cleaned up the outside, then chatted while cooking in the kitchen.

"Lili, do you want to do something in the future?"

"future?"

"Yes. You can read and write, and I believe that with your ability you will be able to complete our agreement quickly. But I heard that you are the only one in your family, so I wanted to ask your opinion."

"I... don't have any ideas. It's fine just like it is now... Tieying, I heard that you also lost your parents this year... How did you... get through it?" Jing Li seemed to be triggered by some thoughts of Bai Tieying's words. After hesitating for a moment, she still asked.

"Yes, I did make it through. Those days were certainly hard, but I was luckier than you because I still had a younger brother. He gave me a lot of support when he let me know that I still had responsibilities.

In addition, my family still owes money to the villagers, which was earned with their blood and sweat. I can give up myself, but I can't let down the people who helped me, so... I got through it step by step." Bai Tieying seemed to be analyzing Bai Tieying's experience, but in fact she was talking about herself in the original world.

"I won't say anything to comfort you, because in the end, only you can help yourself. Just like those kids who wanted to escape when they heard about studying, even if we help them, how long can we help them? If you don't have any specific goals or ideas now, would you like to hear my advice?"

"But with Tieying's arrangement, I really... don't have any skills, and I don't know what I can do."

"Lili, don't belittle yourself. Think about it from another perspective. If you weren't so outstanding, why would I want you to help me? As for what to do in the future, there is no rush. Think about it slowly. Everything will come in time."

"Is there still time for everything?" Jing Li couldn't help but repeat it.

"Yeah, you're only fourteen, right? There are still thirty years until you're fifty. It's too late to do what you want to do."

"More than 30 years? Mom and Dad are only... Yes! It's too late to do what you want to do? Tieying, you're right, I'll think about it slowly. Okay, tell me what you need me to do!"

"As you can see, my business is a bit big, but I have come here step by step. There are still many things waiting for me, so I need someone to help me manage the rear. If your goals do not conflict with this, can you help me?"

"So what exactly do you need me to do?"

"I need you to help me manage these refugees... Oh no, they shouldn't be called refugees anymore... I hope they can achieve new goals in their new homes and new starting points. How about calling them... Sanxin villagers?"

"Three new ones? Sure! It sounds very promising."

"Okay, that's what I'll call you from now on. I'd like to ask you to be a housekeeper. First, you'll be responsible for handling all the affairs of the Xinmin and Xiangyun Temple children; second, you'll be responsible for enforcing the rules of the school; third, you'll help me keep an eye on the chicken farming in Xianhe Village.

Later, I will introduce you to Aunt Li and Aunt Chen who are in charge of raising chickens. You just need to report to me if there are any special situations. They will handle the specific matters. The monthly salary will be based on the normal monthly salary. How about three taels of silver a month?"

"Okay, I'll try to figure out these three things myself. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll talk to you about it. As for the monthly silver, you don't need it. I..."

"Lili, I said I wanted to make friends with you, and this monthly allowance is what you deserve. Besides, once you have a goal in the future, won't you need money to spend?"

"Okay, then I agree." Jing Li didn't say anything more, but she was sure in her heart that Bai Tieying was not a person who sought fame and reputation to win people's hearts. She was really sincere. Naturally, she also secretly told herself that if she worked hard, she would not let her down.

With Jingli helping Bai Tieying to "guard" the rear, she felt much more relaxed. So, apart from taking an hour every morning to teach the children, she resumed her "crazy" running around.

Since Mu Qingqiu received the bow and arrows that day, he stayed in the space except for breakfast and dinner, and had lunch with the three hundred people at noon. Bai Tiexiong, the follower, was also quite "competent". As a result, when Grandpa Wu came to test him, he couldn't find him. He caught Bai Tieying early the next morning and asked her, only to find out that he didn't go out with her yesterday.

When Bai Tieying pulled him out of the space, he couldn't recite his homework. That day, the "scream" of Grandpa Wu's plank was said to have scared several Sanxin kids outside the courtyard. Later, when it came to the monthly exam, the results of the Sanxin kids could be said to have crushed the kids in Xianhe Village. After Jing Li explained to Bai Tieying, she found out that the "naughty kid" was born in the Year of the Rooster.

……

"Tieying! You're here! Look, we've already set up the stance you mentioned, and we're just waiting for you to teach us!"

"Grandpa Liao, you are so fast! Sorry, I am late!"

"Oh, it's not too late, it's not too late, I was just too impatient. Seeing that fewer and fewer frogs were coming down the mountain, I felt a little... Come on, kid, let's do whatever you say!"

"Grandpa Liao, may I ask how many girls are there in our village who are over ten and under fifteen? If there are really too few, we can relax the limit to eight years old, and even to those who are unengaged."

"Uh... Tieying, what does this mean?"

"You saw me taking those little white strips out earlier? That's a delicate job. And if you want to be able to do delicate work and sell this thing for a high price, you need to be more delicate than delicate and more strict than strict."
