After lunch, Yan Ping asked Wu Zhaodi to go home to rest, but Wu Zhaodi felt that he hadn't done anything in the morning and had eaten for nothing, so he didn't want to go back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "If you don't want to go back, how can I rest, we don't have a place for you to stay at noon", Yan Ping felt that Wu Zhaodi's health was still too poor, it was better to rest more. Brother Wu had no choice but to go back. Walking to the door, Grandpa Zhao stopped her and stuffed her with a food box full of white-flour steamed buns, "Grandpa Zhao, how can I ask for this, I haven't done anything, I just eat and take, absolutely not."

"There is a saying, what is it called, by the way, the elders give it, and it is impossible to say goodbye. This means that if an adult gives something to a child, the child has to ask for it. The ancients said so, do you dare to be disobedient? Besides, his Yan family doesn't lack these two steamed buns, take them, girl." Wu Zhaodi had no choice but to accept it. When she returned home and took out the steamed buns, everyone had the same expressions as when she saw the steamed buns for the first time. He Saifeng was in charge and gave her one from her second uncle's family, one from her third uncle's family, and even one from Aunt Li's family, and her own family also took out one and divided it. The steamed buns that everyone got were very small, and they ate carefully, only rich, and they didn't know the preciousness of the steamed buns. Some people looked at the white steamed buns in their hands and even shed tears, such as Wu Dazhu. Wu Dazhu has been silent, since he married He Saifeng, someone has Zhang Luo for him, and after he spoke, he has even fewer words, but his character is first-class and good. I love my daughter-in-law and children very much, and I am filial to my father, I never spend a copper plate on myself, and I give it all to my daughter-in-law and children, but he has always felt very guilty, and feels that he has no ability, so that his daughter-in-law and children can suffer from poverty and hardship with him. His father let himself eat white-flour steamed buns, but he didn't let the child eat it, this time he still dragged the child's blessing, thinking of this, he had mixed feelings and tears.

Brother Wu Zhaodi saw everyone's appearance, and his mood was also very heavy, white-flour steamed buns are the cheapest food in the future generations, and many people have abandoned them like chaff, but for the people here, they are like treasures. Especially in his heart, his father, who has always been like a mountain, actually cried, and Wu Zhaodi felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. Seeing that the time was almost up at noon, Wu Zhaodi hurriedly got up and set off, Yan Ping arrived at the study at two o'clock, but there was no clock at home, and she didn't know the specific time, she could only estimate it, and she must not be late again.

When I arrived at Yan's house, Yan Ping hadn't arrived yet, so I waited at the door of the study for a while, and when Yan Ping arrived, I remembered, "By the way, you don't have a timekeeper at home, so let's do it, when the time comes, I will send someone to your house to call you, and the reaction is not far away, and you will worry about it every day."

"No need, Brother Yan, it's okay if I come early."

"Okay, but if you're coming early, just come in." After speaking, he pulled out a three-character scripture from the shelf, "When I was enlightened, I read the three-character scripture, I have never been to school, I have always been enlightened at home, I don't know how it is taught in the school, but my literacy is from this book, I will read it for you from beginning to end, and then you read it yourself, I will read the book for a while, and I don't want to hear other voices, you know?" ”

"Okay, Brother Yan, but can I ask you a question first?"

"You ask".

"Do we have many Shanxi schools?"

"That's a lot, at least there are a lot of elementary schools and private schools."

"Can anyone who wants to build a school build it?"

"No, there is persuasion to manage"

"Then what is the Persuasion Institute?" Wu Zhaodi found that no one in Lijia Village was really literate except for Master Li Xiucai. It has now been the ninth year of the Republic of China, and there should not be so many illiterate people. She wanted to figure out why.

"This, in fact, I don't know much about it, but I heard the teacher say that the persuasion school center existed in the previous dynasty, and it was in all states and counties, and it was specially used to persuade people to go to school in the countryside door to door, and it was canceled after the establishment of the Republic of China, but it was restored a few years ago."

"And such a place? Then why didn't anyone come to our village to persuade them to study? ”

Yan Ping thought for a while, and said embarrassedly, "Maybe, maybe Lijiacun is too biased, I don't know, wait a while the teacher comes, I'll ask the teacher."

"Don't wait, the teacher is already here", Mr. Huang walked in, or did it in the old place, "Wenyuan, I have taught you for so long, you have never asked such a question as a teacher like this little girl, and I have been thinking about why the Qing Dynasty collapsed all these years, maybe it is because there are too many people like the teacher, and the teacher has been immersed in learning for all those years, or fighting openly and secretly with those officials who sell their reputations, and has never thought about how the people of the Qing Dynasty live, and no one cares about their life or death." As a teacher, you don't want you to follow the old path of being a teacher, you follow the teacher to do learning, and always only ask about things in the book, and occasionally listen to Teacher Wu give you lectures, and find that you only listen to him talk about those things in the West, and rarely ask in detail."

"Teacher, I'm sorry to live up to your high expectations."

"It's serious, it's not too late to start now, you're only nine years old, you're still a piece of jade, you can carve, then I'll give you a rough talk about the persuasion institute, which was founded in the 32nd year of Guangxu, and is the sum of the academic affairs of the whole territory of the various departments, states and counties. supervised by the magistrate; There is a member of the general director, who is also responsible for the county inspection and schooling, and comprehensively examines the affairs of each school district. The district has one student to advise, and it is the responsibility of each school district to persuade students to recruit students and determine the quality of the results of the persuasion school. The main responsibilities of the Institute are to persuade students, promote education, raise funds, open up the atmosphere, and eliminate resistance. For example, in Shanxi, after the abolition of the imperial examination, there were two Confucian scholars in each county of Shanxi, one of them was cut and one was saved, and the Confucian temple was enshrined, and another persuasion institute was set up to teach local education. Originally, the original intention of establishing the persuasion institute was excellent, it was to let the people of the Qing Dynasty, regardless of whether they were high or low, have books to read, but the officials below were in disobedience, and the persuasion institute became a means for them to collect money. They don't bother to come to a poor rural area like Lijia Village at all. Therefore, Wen Yuan, if you become a superior in the future, you must pay attention to the ability to supervise."

"The student made a note of it". "Mr. Huang, I also made a note of it."

"Haha, okay, remember it, Wenyuan, don't you want to recite the three-character scripture to the little girl? Let's get started".
