Chapter 334: Female Teacher
"No problem!" The child's answer was particularly loud.
Shui Qing thought that this time arrangement was quite good. The older children in the morning could finish their studies without delaying their daily work. The younger children had to do less work every day. The two hours less work in the morning would not have much impact. .
The learning environment here is not as good as that in China. It has not yet reached the point where everything can be given way for learning. To be precise, it is similar to that in China in the 1970s and 1980s, that is, while studying, you can kill pigs in the morning and evening, feed pigs and sheep, etc. When the farming season is busy, it is important to cultivate and harvest.
I study two hours a day and only study Chinese and Mathematics. It’s not stressful.
There are more than 2,000 commonly used words, more than 1,000 less commonly used words, and perhaps even less in Mingguo. Even if the same number is more than 3,000 words, if you know five or six words in a day, you will almost know enough to use it in two or three years.
After all, it is not for the imperial examination. There is no need to write articles or be proficient in poetry, poetry and poetry. It is more like a literacy class, everything is practical.
"There are two study rooms, and there are separate rooms for men and women over the age of twelve."
The villagers in different houses can understand that after all there are many young girls to be married, it is better to be separated, but if they are separated, how can Fan Jin teach them by himself?
Should we teach one side first and then the other? Then Fan Jin is a little too tired.
"I will teach the boys, Yan Qiu and Xing Hui will teach the girls, and the three of us will take turns teaching those under twelve years old." Fan Jin answered everyone's questions.
Originally he planned to teach alone, but the past few days made him realize that he could not just be a teacher in the village after all, he still had to take the imperial examination.
Although the road to the imperial examination is difficult, you must take it and succeed.
So what if Yan Qiuxing is a girl? There are so many female teachers, wives, and doctors in the world, why can't there be two more of her?
Zhang Chunhua shouted dissatisfied: "Da Ya and Er Ya are just little girls themselves. How many words can they recognize? Can they teach us well?"
Yes, she is also ready to learn. Anyway, don't restrict yourself to cultivation. If you don't learn, you will suffer a loss!
Moreover, the girls in the village who are about the same age as her are working in the medicine shop. They must not be able to read. When she can read, she will be able to compete with them.
Xu Ting quickly stood up and said timidly: "Chunhua, you and Yan Qiuxing have only met each other very rarely, so if you don't know them, you won't know. Not only do they know a lot of words, but their writing is also very beautiful!
It's more than enough to teach us. They taught us all the words we know. "
Li Tiantian didn't have Xu Ting's good temper, and he snorted: "Of course she doesn't know, you see, she even called her by the wrong name!"
Zhang Chunhua was stunned when she heard Xu Ting's last words, and asked in disbelief: "Are you literate? When did it happen?"
How come she doesn't know at all?
"I learned it while working in the medicine shop. Yan Qiu took time out every day to teach us a few frequently used words. We practiced more during lunch break and after work. Now we know hundreds of words." Xu Ting and Yourong Yan said.
They have been in the medicine shop for almost eighty days. At the beginning, they learned the simplest characters, five or six every day, and then gradually increased the difficulty. However, it is not difficult to learn two or three. Over time, they have learned three to four hundred. After writing, Yan Qiu said that in more than half a year, reading the articles and accounts will not be a problem.
Zhang Chunhua opened her mouth and turned to look at her cousin Zhang Xiaocao.
She also works in a medicine shop, doesn't she know hundreds of words?
Zhang Xiaocao didn't understand what his cousin was thinking, so he said deliberately: "You don't think so, but we are very tight!"
Zhang Chunhua reluctantly shut her mouth, feeling from the bottom of her heart that girls' tutors must not be very good.
Yan Qiu saw the reluctance on her face, but said nothing.
Dad said that teaching and educating people is not an easy job. You must be tolerant and speak with your strength when questioned.
What Mom said is that you don’t have to confront the troublemakers openly, just find a rule and expel them by name. Don’t think about taking a step back to open up the world, because taking a step back will only make you angrier!
She agreed more with her mother's statement.
Daddy said that those who made trouble three times would be kicked out of the school and would never teach again. Zhang Chunhua's troublesome words were just a good time to use them as a memorial flag...
While thinking, some other little girls timidly raised their hands, blinked and said, "Sister Yan Qiu, I'm curious too. I want to know how to read and do arithmetic. Can you teach me?"
"I want to learn arithmetic and become a female accountant in the future. I can earn as much salary as my elder sister!" Xu Ting's sister Xu Li said loudly.
"I want to help Aunt Shui Qing and earn money to buy flowers and clothes myself."
"I also want to have my own money."
...
Xinghui listened to the voices one after another, and finally understood why teaching the villagers to read would not bring any obvious benefits to his family, but his parents still persisted.
Especially for boys and girls.
Yes, there are inevitably people like her cousin and Zhang Chunhua among them, but there are more people who are motivated and hardworking! It is for these people that my parents insist.
What Wan Xia thinks about is that there is no shortage of hard-working people everywhere. Some people can hold onto it as long as they have a little hope, and the second uncle and second aunt are the ones who give hope.
No one took Zhang Chunhua's words to heart, or even glanced at her. They only looked at Fan Jin at the front with burning eyes, listening to his next order.
Fan Jin felt that what he had said was almost done, and with a faint smile on his face, he announced: "Everyone who wants to go in and choose a seat. The writing brush has been prepared. Although it is not very easy to use, it is enough for you beginners. Tomorrow Just come by the time.”
The onlookers wanted to squeeze in, but thinking that they would be literate in the future, they politely gave way before entering.
Most people in the village had never seen a brush, let alone touched or picked up to write, so they couldn't put it down and touched it again and again.
Touching the soft brush in front, and trying it repeatedly on his hand, he sighed: "So this is a brush, what is this hair made of? It's so soft."
"I heard it's rabbit hair, pig hair and wool, I don't know how it's made, it's so magical."
"Why do I feel like it's unreal like a dream? Can we really write with a brush?"
"Oh! It's not the first time that it feels unreal like a dream. Otherwise, why do you think the old village chief said those words on such an important day? These old people in the village are clear in their hearts!"
It's not just the old people in the village who are clear?
Everyone knows that without the two of them, there would be no good life for their family!
After the studious children saw it, the old men, men and women in the village came in one after another and were reluctant to leave.
Even if the brick house was not covered with lime, it was still cleaner and brighter than the adobe house, especially the two houses were built larger, and now they are still spacious after placing so many tables and chairs.
How great it would be if they could be like this when they were young.....
"It's time to eat, hurry up and take your seat! The dishes are about to be served!"
