Chapter 955 Everyone Has a White Moonlight (22)

The old scholar at the village school also saw Wei Qingning coming, but did not stop teaching.

Instead, he gestured to her and asked Wei Qingning to wait aside.

Since they are all children, the class duration is not very long.

The get out of class was over not long after.

The old scholar walked out of the classroom and asked Wei Qingning with a smile: "Qingning, are you here to see me for something?"

"Yes, sir." Wei Qingning bowed respectfully to the old scholar and said to him, "I would like to ask you to write another letter of recommendation for Qingyan."

He looked up at Wei Qingning and asked, "Qingyan has dropped out of school for many years, why do you suddenly want to go to school again?"

Wei Qingning lowered his head and replied softly: "Qingyan has always loved reading, but our family is poor and cannot afford to let him continue to go to school. He has been working hard to study on his own, hoping to return to school and continue his studies.

I thought of some ways to make money, so I wanted him to go back to school again."

After hearing this, the old scholar couldn't help feeling moved.

He knew that Wei Qingyan was a smart and hardworking child who had performed well in the village school and was considered one of the most promising students.

However, due to his family's poverty, he had to drop out of school and gave up the opportunity to continue his studies.

The old scholar sighed and said, "Qingning, learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will fall behind.

Your Qingyan has dropped out of school for several years and now wants to go to a school in the city, but I'm afraid he won't even be able to pass the first level."

In fact, it is not difficult to recommend Wei Qingyan for the interview, but the old scholar is afraid that Wei Qingyan has not studied for a long time and will embarrass himself.

After all, as an old scholar in the village, he was a man of some reputation. It would be a real shame if the students he recommended couldn't even pass the entrance exam.

Wei Qingning felt sad after hearing what the old scholar said.

She knew that what the old scholar said made sense. Qingyan had dropped out of school for many years, and it would not be easy for him to adapt to school life again.

But she didn't want to give up this opportunity easily, so she raised her head and said firmly: "Sir, I believe Qingyan can do it. How about this, you can set some questions for him first, and when you think he can go to the school in the city to try, you can write him a letter of recommendation."

The old scholar couldn't help but be moved when he saw the persistence and expectation in Wei Qingning's eyes.

He remembered the persistence he had when he was young, and said, "How about this, let Qingyan come to follow my class for a few more days. As the saying goes, review the old to learn the new. Then I will test him again. If there are really no doubts, I will write him a letter of recommendation."

"Come to class?" Wei Qingning was a little embarrassed when he saw the room full of children. "With these kids?"

Although her younger brother Wei Qingyan was only a teenager, he still couldn't play with the six to seven-year-old children in the classroom.

"Why do you feel ashamed?" The old scholar smiled. "If you can't even stand this, then forget about going to the academy in the city."

Seeing Wei Qingning's puzzled expression, the old scholar explained: "Many schools in the city have mixed students. Some students from wealthy families start learning at a very young age and have already achieved good academic results.

There are also many older people who have taken exams all their lives but have never achieved success and still want to try again. This has resulted in a large age gap among students who are studying the same content in the same classroom.”

At this point, the old scholar did not continue. Wei Qingning also understood what he meant and nodded, "I understand. Can Qingyan come over tomorrow?"

"Okay, then let's do it at noon tomorrow." The old scholar said, stroking his beard.

After Wei Qingning took Wei Qingyan home, he conveyed the old scholar's words to him.

After hearing this, Wei Qingyan expressed with a firm look in his eyes that he would study hard and live up to his sister's expectations.

On the second day, Wei Qingyan arrived at the school early.

Although he was surrounded by children who were much younger than him, he did not feel uncomfortable at all, but listened to the old scholar's lecture attentively.

A few days later, the old scholar tested Wei Qingyan's knowledge again.

This time, Wei Qingyan's performance made him very satisfied.

"Well, not bad. It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort these days." The old scholar nodded and praised, "I will write a letter of recommendation for you right away. You can take it to register at the school in the city."

Wei Qingyan was extremely excited when he received the letter of recommendation.

He knew that this letter of recommendation was an important turning point in his life. If he could seize this opportunity, he could change the future of himself and his sister.

Wei Qingyan held the recommendation letter tightly and vowed to himself that he must cherish this rare opportunity.

The letter has been received, but what about the problem of repairing it?

"Don't worry, I've already inquired about it." Wei Qingning advised his brother, "The tuition for the school recommended by the teacher is about five taels a year, and it can be paid in installments.

We have already earned two taels of silver last time, which may be enough for a while. I will make up the rest of the money as soon as possible. Don't worry about the money, I will take care of it."

After hearing this, Wei Qingyan felt relieved.
