Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu looked up and saw Teacher Lin of the village school coming out. He was dressed in a grey-white robe, and his beard was clean. He had a refined look and held a thousand-character book in his hand.

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Chu.” Teacher Lin nodded. “What brings you here today?”

“I just came to see Lil’ Jin. By the way, how are his studies during this period? I thought that he would have to trouble you to teach him in school, so I brought some pickled cabbages made at home to add to your dishes. It’s not worth much silver, but it’s more it’ll your meals more appetizing.” As soon as Ye Muyu finished speaking, Zhang Shu took a small jar of pickled cabbages from the carriage.

Ye Muyu gave it to Chu Jin.

She wanted him to give it to the teacher personally.

At this time, the teacher was like a father, so the students needed to be filial. Although Chu Jin was having a hard time carrying it, he was not tired. He walked up the stairs slowly and his movements were shaky.

Ye Muyu was worried, but she was more satisfied with the child’s performance.

Teacher Lin hurriedly said, “I’ve already accepted gifts before letting the children in the village enter school. How can I take any more gifts?”

Chu Jin was already trembling as he walked to him. He handed the jar of pickled cabbages to him. “Teacher, I made this myself. Although I had my mother’s help, it’s the thought that matters”

“You child.” Teacher Lin hurriedly took the jar of pickled cabbages from his hand. He was really worried that Chu Jin would accidentally drop it. Moreover, this jar was not light. He did not know how he carried it.

However, just like Ye Muyu, he was very satisfied with Chu Jin’s reaction.

“Actually, Lil’ Jin’s performance during this period of time is very good. I’m also very satisfied.” Teacher Lin looked pleased. After all, Chu Jin had been a naughty student in the past. Even though he was smart, he could not concentrate. Without concentration, his previous grades could not be high.

During this period of time, he had been very serious in class. Chu Jin would even ask some questions, and he would help answer them. Not only did the other students have the spirit to listen to the class, but even Chu Jin himself could recite the text faster and more accurately.

“But I heard that pickled cabbages are sold at a high price in the county. Many families sell pickled cabbages. I heard that they can be sold for more than 30 copper coins per jar.”

Thirty coins per jar, including the cabbage, salt, etc., one could only earn seven or eight copper coins at most.

This was also the lowest price of pickled cabbages.

The pickled cabbages made by the Chu family were obviously the most expensive batch.

Ye Muyu’s gift was homemade. Chu Jin had indeed learned from her and made the finished product.

“Don’t sweat it, Teacher Lin. Xiao Jin said that he made it, so the taste might not be as good. However, it’s the child’s intention. You’ve spent a lot of effort to teach him, so it’s only right for him to accept the filial piety of a student. Teacher Lin, you don’t have to be polite.” Ye Muyu smiled.

Chu Jin looked up at Teacher Lin. “Teacher, it’s just a jar of pickled cabbages. Didn’t you treat me to meat before?”

“Are we only allowed to let the teachers feed the students, and the students don’t return the favor? Teacher, this seems to be different from what you taught me.” Chu Jin was truly puzzled. He had not learned such a profound level of knowledge. As for the filial piety and reason that he had discussed with Ye Muyu two days ago…

Filial piety was taught by the teacher, and the principle was taught in advance by Chu Heng in order to correct his previous temper. Of course, it was also in the form of allusions. After listening, he knew that his parents liked him to remember it, so he seriously remembered it..
