Chapter 276: Ling Feng Teaches a Class

Mou Lili was startled.

This posture was wrong.

She was just about to get up, but the bicycle to the side wasn't stable, and it looked like it was about to press down on her again.

Seeing this, Ling Feng hurriedly propped up the bicycle with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her.

The bicycle didn't press down, but she, on the other hand, was pressed even tighter against Ling Feng, their faces almost touching.

Both of them were stunned.

This situation was far too ambiguous.

After a while, a middle-aged man rode past on the side of the road; he glanced at the two people on the roadside, hurriedly braked, and asked, "Are you two alright?"

"We're fine!"

"We're fine!"

The two people under the bicycle said in unison.

The man got off his bike and moved the bicycle away for them, saying as he moved it, "You must be guests of Village Chief Jin's family. Let me tell you, don't ride bicycles next time; there are too many curves on this road. If you want to ride, ride an electric scooter."

Ling Feng and Mou Lili hurriedly got up, the two of them patting the mud off their bodies, and Ling Feng pulled the bicycle over, "Thank you, sir. You really are a good person."

Mou Lili suddenly felt it was extremely funny again; she tried hard to hold back her laughter, and only when the man had walked far away did she burst out laughing.

Ling Feng couldn't help but say, "Mou Lili, don't go too far next time."

"Did I?"

"You did!"

"Alright, then I won't use my hands. Hurry up and ride the bike; aren't we going back to the village?"

Ling Feng got back on the bike, and then Mou Lili got on the back seat.

Ling Feng was just about to pedal, when Mou Lili shouted from behind, "Giddy-up!"

Ling Feng: "..."

They soon arrived at Jin Shu's house. Ling Feng parked the bicycle and asked Jin Shu, who was sitting in the courtyard whittling bamboo, "Uncle, the matter I spoke to you about yesterday, how did it go?"

"It's already been settled. They said they would come over at 9 o'clock."

"Alright."

After Ling Feng finished speaking, he called out to Mou Lili, "Come with me quickly."

"Where to?"

"You'll know when we get there."

Mou Lili couldn't help but follow him.

After walking for a while inside the village, they arrived at an ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall was very large, but people only came to make offerings during the New Year and festivals. Now, 8 tables and chairs were set up inside the hall, along with a few textbooks: Chinese, Mathematics, and Nature and Science.

Mou Lili asked, "You said yesterday that you wanted to teach here; you don't mean you're going to teach right here, do you?"

"Yes, I discussed it with Jin Shu, and this place is suitable. Before the bridge to the town is built, the village children will have their classes here for now."

"Will the children come?"

"I had Jin Shu go door-to-door to communicate with them the day before yesterday, and they said they would come."

Mou Lili looked at her watch to check the time; it was 8:40 in the morning.

She was very curious: how was Ling Feng going to teach?

Could he handle the children in the village?

It wasn't until 9 o'clock that the children arrived one after another; Nini, whom they met last night, also came.

But only 6 came.

Ling Feng took out a notebook, called the roll one by one according to the list on it, and finally asked, "Why didn't Qiangzi and Xiaozhu come? Does anyone know?"

Nini said, "Qiangzi is still feeding the pigs, and Xiaozhu isn't coming today; he said he's going to the fields to spread fertilizer."

Ling Feng paused, but he didn't appear very disappointed. He first took out the chocolates he bought in town from his pocket, gave two to each person, and then said, "You weren't late today, so this is a reward for you from Teacher Ling."

When the children saw that there were chocolates to eat for arriving early, they were extremely happy.

These chocolates were round and wrapped in a layer of gold foil; the rural children found them very rare.

They must come earlier tomorrow.

Mou Lili watched from the side and also felt that this method of Ling Feng's was good.

At this moment, Ling Feng cast a triumphant smile at her: See, am I impressive?

Mou Lili stuck out her tongue; they had barely even started!

The children who came to class today were between 5 and 9 years old.

The reason their parents let them come was, on one hand, to have someone help look after the children, and on the other, they really wanted the children to learn something.

The children had no foundation; the one who knew the most characters was Nini, who could write from one to ten, while the other children knew none.

Ling Feng could only start teaching from Pinyin: "Students, repeat after me: 'a, o, e, i, u...'"

The children then repeated after him.

After reciting it once, Qiangzi, who had been feeding the pigs, ran over in a hurry. As soon as he entered, he asked, "Teacher, where do I sit?"

Ling Feng said, "Sit wherever there's an empty seat."

Seeing that everyone else had chocolate, Qiangzi asked, "How come I don't have anything to eat?"

Ling Feng said, "You came late, so you don't have any."

Qiangzi was very angry: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come. I'll come again tomorrow."

After saying this, he was about to leave, so Ling Feng had to stop him: "If you leave now, you won't have chocolate tomorrow either, because you skipped class. Not only will you not get any, but you'll also be punished."

Qiangzi had no choice but to sit down obediently.

Mou Lili felt that since she had come, she might as well assist; she helped Qiangzi open the textbook and told her where to start reading along.

Ling Feng said from the front, "You must not only read along, but also memorize and know how to write it, understand? Come, let me test whether you have remembered it."

He began to call names, "Fenfen, you stand up and tell the teacher, which one is 'o'?"

Fenfen stood up, but shook her head: "I don't know."

The others burst into laughter.

Ling Feng asked another child named Qiqi: "Qiqi, you come tell the teacher, which one is 'o'?"

Qiqi: "Teacher, the one that looks like a circle is 'o'."

"Good, Qiqi answered correctly, here is a chocolate as a reward," Ling Feng said.

The children were surprised; so there were chocolates for answering questions correctly too.

If they had known, they would have been more serious.

Ling Feng continued to teach, but only asked questions after a long time, letting the children memorize well.

It wasn't until class ended in the morning that Xiaozhu, who had gone to spread fertilizer, finally arrived.

Xiaozhu's reaction was the same as Qiangzi's, brooding over the fact that there was no chocolate to eat.

Ling Feng had Nini go and explain everything.

Ling Feng then said: "Through this morning's lesson, I have discovered that the one who performed the best is Nini; she remembered everything the teacher taught, and her discipline in class was also very good, so the teacher is temporarily making her the class monitor."

The children were all stunned; there was already a class monitor so quickly.

Ling Feng rewarded Nini with a chocolate and added: "A class needs not only a class monitor, but also a vice monitor, a study committee member, a labor committee member, a life committee member, and so on. If you perform well, you can still compete for the upcoming positions. I hope everyone can win one, okay?"

At this, the children all shouted enthusiastically: "Okay!"

Seeing that class was about to end, Mou Lili helped the children tidy up the tables and chairs, telling them where to put the textbooks and where to put the workbooks.

After the children had all left, Mou Lili looked at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng asked smugly: "How about it, my performance as a teacher was alright, wasn't it?"
