Chapter XXII. Dining chairs
When the schoolchildren playing in the yard saw Zhang Xiucai coming out, they all quickly stood up, and then saluted, "Master." ”
"Well, okay, I'll go back to my seat when I've rested, and I'll answer the questions I just learned and what I left over from before. If you don't have any questions, practice the words first, and listen well when you can answer them, you know? Zhang Xiucai said solemnly.
"Yes," the schoolchildren all replied loudly, and then slowly returned to the classroom one by one, some of the children also secretly glanced at Xiao Yao, and Brother Kun Zi waved at Xiao Yao. When the child next to him saw it, he immediately stepped forward and hooked his shoulder, asking who the master was holding was sacred.
Zhang Xiucai stood and watched Xiao Yao for a while, Xiao Yao also felt strange why Zhang Xiucai didn't go in?
Zhang Xiucai turned around and went back to the east room, put Xiao Yao on the bed, asked Xiao Yao to obediently not move, ran to the end of the bed and squatted down, and then dragged things hard, trying to drag something out. After coming over for a while, I saw that it was a child seat, a modern children's dining chair, but it was very low, only as high as a stool without a backrest, and it didn't look damaged, but it was covered with dust.
Zhang Xiucai wiped the dining chair with a rag, it looked very good, and the wood used was also very good, it was dark brown, black and shiny. Zhang Xiucai moved the dining chair out first, then went into the house to pick up Xiao Yao, and said as he walked out of the room: "Xiao Yao, this chair will be your special chair in the future, and when you have younger brothers and sisters, you will transfer it to them." Huh,"
Xiao Yao was also very face-saving, clapping her hands.
Zhang Xiucai carried Xiao Yao in one hand and the dining chair in the other into the classroom of the small class, put the dining chair on the podium, and then put Xiao Yao into the dining chair and sat down, and patted Xiao Yao's head gently, meaning to let her be obedient. The children below all watched the master's movements blankly.
"Ahh," Zhang Xiucai reminded the schoolchildren below loudly, "You must concentrate in class, you must not be affected by external voices and behaviors, and you must concentrate on learning in any environment." ”
"Yes," the schoolchildren replied aloud.
"Now start answering questions, starting with the simplest, starting with the three-character classic, then a hundred family names, and then a thousand-character text." Zhang Xiucai said.
According to Xiao Yao's point of view, the tables and chairs in this classroom are arranged in 3 columns and 4 rows, and each table can seat two people, and the bench is long.
Now the question begins in a column on the right-hand side, in which a six-year-old schoolboy dressed in a neat gray shirt stands up and asks aloud: "Master, why is this, 'Xi Mengmu, choose your neighbor'?" ”
Zhang Xiucai nodded and said, "Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor." Another simple way to say it is 'Meng's mother moved three times', why do you want to move three times? Can anyone explain? ”
A 7-year-old schoolboy in a small blue Confucian robe in the middle row raised his hand, Zhang Xiucai nodded and asked him to say, and the elementary school boy stood up and said, "It is about Mencius's father who died when he was three years old, and his mother raised him alone. Mencius was very playful as a child and liked to imitate others. His family used to live near the cemetery, and when he saw others burying and weeping graves, he often played with building graves or learned from others to cry and worship. Meng's mother felt that this was not good, so she moved her family to the vicinity of the market; At this time, Mencius saw that others were buying and selling and killing pigs in the market, so he imitated others to do business and kill pigs. Meng's mother felt that this environment was not good, so she moved her home to the side of the school. I hope Mencius can concentrate on his studies. ”
"Yes, well explained." Zhang Xiucai asked the boy who was commenting to sit down, and at the same time said to the boy who asked the question: "Do you understand now?" The living environment is very important, especially for children, who learn good habits from people with good habits, and learn from bad people with bad people. That is, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. ”
The boy nodded, "Understood." Then sit down.
Zhang Xiucai nodded and asked if there were any more questions? After waiting for a while, he looked at the middle column and asked, "What about you?" ”
The middle column shook his head, and Zhang Xiucai walked to the row on the side and asked, "What about you?" ”
An older boy, about eight years old, stood up and asked, "Master, 'If you know what you know, you must change it, and you must not forget it. 'Why?' “
Zhang Xiucai looked at the boy seriously and said: "If you know it, you must be able to change, you have to be able not to forget, you don't talk about its shortcomings, you can rely on your own strengths, the messenger can be restored, and the desire is difficult to measure." It means that if you know that you have made a mistake, you must correct it; If you come across something that suits you, don't give up easily. Don't talk about other people's shortcomings casually, and don't rely on your own strengths to make progress and rest on your laurels. Truthful, honest words that can stand the test of time; Be a big person, don't be careless about small things, and make people feel that you are immeasurable. ”
Xiao Yao understands that Zhang Xiu is a capable person, this is teaching according to talent, teaching according to personal level, not rigid at all, very flexible, and implemented very well, let the schoolchildren be a master, not only review and consolidate, but also can be explained in a way that the schoolchildren understand, killing two birds with one stone. I really want to give him a thumbs up, it's much better than some modern cramming teachers.
After Zhang Xiucai finished explaining the small class here, he arranged for the primary school children to review or practice words by themselves, and then called Kunzi and asked him to help move the small dining chair to the opposite classroom, and he picked up Xiao Yao and walked directly to the opposite classroom. After Kunzi put the chair away, Zhang Xiucai helped Xiao Yao sit down and waved his hand to let Kunzi go back.
Zhang Xiucai frowned, looked at the stunned students in front of him, and said solemnly: "It seems that your concentration is still not good, it is too expressive, you have to continue to hone it, and you have to be shocked everywhere." ”
"Yes, Master." The students replied loudly.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, start answering questions", Zhang Xiucai said loudly.
"Master, 'There is a way to generate wealth, and those who live are many, those who eat are few, those who are sick for it, and those who use it are comfortable, and the wealth is sufficient. The benevolent make a fortune, and the unkind make a fortune. There are no good benevolence and bad righteousness, there is no good righteousness and the matter does not end, and there is no treasury wealth that is not their wealth. What do you mean by that? An 11-year-old student, dressed about the same as Zhang Xiucai, stood up and asked.
"Does anyone have an answer?" Zhang Xiucai asked
A student in a white robe who sat at the end raised his hand, Zhang Xiucai nodded, and the student stood up and replied: "This sentence is the last sentence in "University", which means that people must have the right way to obtain wealth; There are many people who produce labor, and few people who spend; Those who produce labor are diligent, and those who spend are saving. In this way, wealth will always be abundant and surplus. A benevolent person thinks that he can cultivate his virtue by squandering his wealth with righteousness, while an unkind person does not hesitate to obtain money at the cost of his life. Those who are in a position of authority generally do not love virtue, but those who are in a position of rank do not love loyalty. People who don't love loyalty will generally give up halfway. There is no property in the treasury that does not belong to the state. ”
