Shao Qingyuan only stopped after doing all this. Beside him, Qin Wenzheng’s breathing could not help but slow down.
Good. That’s great.
He immediately wanted to try it himself. Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Yundong quickly stopped him. “Master Qin, have lunch first before you try. Otherwise, everyone will go hungry if you keep working.”
Qin Wenzheng suddenly came back to his senses and left the backyard reluctantly.
Lunch was still at the Zeng family’s house. Although the furniture in the new house had been moved in, the house still needed to be exposed to the sun for a few days before it could be lived in.
While eating, Qin Wenzheng suddenly remembered that he had to take in a disciple. He took the opportunity to ask Gu Yunshu if he wanted to go to school. Unexpectedly, the little guy shook his head. “My family is poor. If you don’t charge tuition fees, I-I’ll go.”
After spending an entire morning with Qin Anning, he finally knew Qin Wenzheng’s identity.
Qin Wenzheng almost choked on his own saliva. ‘You’re quite reluctant.’ Unexpectedly, Gu Yunke nodded as well. “Our family is poor. Too poor.” The others present lowered their heads silently. Perhaps everyone had a different understanding of poverty?
Qin Anning tilted her head and glanced at the candy in her hand. Could a child from a poor family casually take out such a good-looking orange-flavored candy to her friend?
If she didn’t have it, wouldn’t her family be even poorer?
Qin Wenzheng could only look at Gu Yundong. The latter felt that Yunshu still had to respect the teacher. Besides, Qin Wenzheng had helped her a lot. It was not good to disrespect him too much. Otherwise, what if he flew into a rage out of humiliation?
Hence, Gu Yundong wiped her mouth and said solemnly, “Yunshu, meet your teacher.”
Gu Yunshu, who had been struggling just now, put down his chopsticks without another word. He walked to Qin Wenzheng and knelt down with a thud. Then, he kowtowed three times. “Greetings, Sir.”
Qin Wenzheng was speechless. This child’s movements were so fast that he did not even have time to react.
The others present stopped what they were doing and looked over in a daze.
The Zeng family widened their eyes. This was… a teacher of the school? The teacher of the school had personally come to the Gu family to take Gu Yunshu in as a student. How smart was he?
Zeng Jia and Zeng Yue looked at Gu Yunshu enviously. It was great that Yunshu could go to school.
They had actually learned some words from Gu Yunshu over the past few days. They were already very satisfied.
Qin Wenzheng laughed and reached out to help Gu Yunshu up. He patted his shoulder. “Good, good. You’re a smart child. How about this? I still have something to do these few days. You can report to school in three days.”
“Yes.” Yunshu nodded vigorously and turned to look at her elder sister.
His little face was red. Gu Yundong knew that even though he had always said that his family was poor and he did not need to go to school, he still yearned for it.
“From now on, study well with Master Qin. Master Qin is knowledgeable. You won’t lose out if you follow him.”
Qin Wenzheng glanced at her. Why did these words sound so awkward?
Was it because he was knowledgeable that he would not suffer a loss, or was it because he had a strong backing?
Gu Yundong pretended not to notice his gaze. She pulled Gu Yunshu back and asked everyone to continue eating.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she saw Madam Yang’s eyes wide open in shock as tears slowly fell.
Gu Yundong was shocked and hurried to her side.. “Mother, what’s wrong?”
