Su Xiaotian felt sorry for the plight of the Chi family elders and grandchildren, but she also knew that this was a product of the times, and she was powerless to change it.
Fortunately, the villagers did not treat the Chi family elders and grandchildren too harshly. Their lives were just more difficult, but not in danger.
She was very fortunate that most of the people in the Hongxing Brigade were kind, otherwise, the Chi family elders and grandchildren would have suffered much more.
As for food and drink, she now had the system's golden finger, which should be able to help a little.
"Little sister, what are you thinking about?" The speaker was Su Ciliang.
Since the adults in the family were inconvenient to come, Grandpa Su decided to let one of his grandsons take Su Xiaotian to find Chi Ge.
Su Ciliang did not know why he had to take Su Xiaotian to find Chi Ge, but as long as it made his little sister happy, he would do anything.
Therefore, after overcoming many difficulties and breaking through the siege of his brothers, he successfully became the glorious flower protector, escorting Su Xiaotian here.
But on the way, he found out that his little sister was here to study with Chi Ge.
Upon receiving this news, Su Ciliang felt terrible.
"Little sister, you are already so smart, why do you still need to study?"
He had finally mustered up the courage to study, thinking that he could surpass his little sister in the future, but he was tragically surprised to find that his little sister was even more diligent than him, and someone was teaching her attentively.
"Second brother, how can one become smart without studying?" Su Xiaotian retorted, as if it were a matter of course.
This sentence alone greatly stimulated Su Ciliang.
He wanted to become smart too!
Su Ciliang decided to also listen to Chi Ge's lectures to his little sister.
"Little sister, look, the door of the house next to Grandpa Chi's house is open!" Su Ciliang was about to call out when he spotted the difference with his sharp eyes and pointed it out to Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian looked over, and indeed, there was a row of small houses next to the cowshed, three in total. Previously, only Grandpa Chi and his grandson lived there, so the other two were locked. But now, the door of the middle room was open.
Could it be that there were new people in the cowshed?
She couldn't help but feel nervous. She had just recognized a teacher, and if new people came, she might not be able to learn knowledge with them.
Su Xiaotian immediately began to recall her previous life, wondering if anyone else had lived here.
Although it had been a long time, she finally remembered.
In her previous life, she had been seriously ill. After she recovered, a pair of old people had moved into the cowshed. She heard they were capitalists.
The couple was nice, and later she heard from others that they had a past with the Chi family.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaotian felt much more at ease.
"Grandpa Chi! I'm here!"
When Su Xiaotian's soft voice reached the house, Du Tonghe and his wife became nervous.
They hadn't expected anyone to come to a place like the cowshed.
"Old Chi..."
Chi Ge recognized Su Xiaotian's voice and smiled, saying, "It's alright, I've taken on a student, and she's here."
Du Tonghe looked at Chi Ge in surprise: "You've taken on a student in such a small village? From her voice, she's still a child!"
"She's seven this year, but don't underestimate the little girl, she's very intelligent. Old Du, you'll definitely be jealous of me!"
Chi Ge then remembered that he had notified Su Xiaotian to come and study today, and it would be good to let Old Du see.
The world only knew Old Du as a capitalist, but they didn't know that he was also an agricultural expert.
If the people of Hongxin Brigade could make Old Du feel at ease, perhaps he could help the Hongxin Brigade.
The two children entered the house and indeed saw two more old people.
Before seeing them, Su Xiaotian felt a sense of familiarity.
"Grandpa Chi, I'm here!" Su Xiaotian said with a sweet smile, "This is my second brother, you've met him."
"Hello Grandpa Chi, my name is Su Ciliang, Tian Tian's second brother."
"Have you eaten?" Chi Ge asked with a smile.
Before Su Ciliang could speak, Su Xiaotian interrupted.
"Grandpa Chi, we ate before coming. You eat first, I'll play outside for a while before coming in."
It was not hard to guess that the Chi family would not have much food, so they could not freeload.
"I've finished eating too." Chi Ge put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Su Xiaotian retracted her steps, which were about to lead her outside.
"Xiaotian, Ciliang, this is Grandpa Du and Grandma Du!" Chi Ge introduced his old friends to the two, but did not explicitly mention that they were old acquaintances.
Su Xiaotian and Su Ciliang were both polite children and quickly greeted them.
Du Tonghe and Yu Ruiyuan also did not expect such well-mannered children in such a small village, and they were very surprised.
But then they thought that if she wasn't good, Chi Ge wouldn't have taken a liking to her.
"They are polite and good children." Du Tonghe said somewhat awkwardly.
Under normal circumstances, if this were Old Chi's student, he would have prepared a meeting gift, but in this situation...
Chi Ge was about to start the lesson. Before starting, he decided to ask again and said to Su Xiaotian with a serious expression.
"Xiaotian, if you study with me, you must be diligent. I only teach children who are willing to work hard!"
"Grandpa Chi, I'm ready."
Since she decided to learn, she had to learn well.
"Grandpa Chi, can I also listen to the lecture?" Su Ciliang asked, unwilling to be left behind.
"As long as you are willing, of course you can."
Su Ciliang was very happy, thinking that he would learn better than his elder brothers and younger brothers by being taught by Grandpa Chi.
However, who could tell him what they were talking about?
Why couldn't he understand what his little sister could understand?
Chi Ge originally planned to teach step by step, but he found that Su Xiaotian's comprehension ability was very strong, so he kept increasing the difficulty, inadvertently overlooking the level of Su Ciliang, who was listening in.
Su Ciliang, who was listening to gibberish, finally decided not to torture himself. He quietly withdrew and went outside to reflect.
Bored, Su Ciliang squatted by the cowshed and reflected for a while, feeling that it was not his fault, but that his little sister was too monstrous.
He was really bored and couldn't help but pick up small stones to draw.
Inside the house, Du Tonghe found it incredible to hear Chi Ge teaching Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian was only seven years old, how could she understand such profound knowledge?
But Su Xiaotian really understood. Du Tonghe felt that he must be dreaming. How could a little girl from the countryside be so smart?
He looked at Yu Ruiyuan, but found that Yu Ruiyuan's eyes were similar to his, full of shock.
He finally understood why Chi Ge had taken on a student here. It was simply because this child was too monstrous!
Chi Ge had set a lesson of one and a half hours for Su Xiaotian, and time passed quickly.
"Xiaotian, this is the homework I've left for you. After you go back, think about it carefully and tell me the answer next time we have class." Chi Ge was truly satisfied with this student.
He only regretted that he didn't know where all his books had gone. If they were still there, it would be easier to teach this child.
At this moment, Chi Ge did not know that when he went out, there would be a surprise waiting for him.
