Chapter 40: Horseback Riding
Li Cheng came to the rattlesnake tribe this time, and stayed for the longest time, about a week, during which Noah went back to the grizzly bear ranch, mainly to inform the old Peake and others of Li Cheng's recent situation, so that the cowboys don't have to worry, just go to work normally.
During this period of time, Li Cheng conscientiously implemented the previous ideas of enlightenment education in accordance with his own plan, and used the learning knowledge of kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools, and high schools in China and some advanced educational concepts of the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, and finally experienced the one-week career as a teacher, and understood the psychological pressure of being a teacher.
"Being a teacher is really not an easy job, especially since I educate 160 students of different ages by myself, and I can't teach them according to their aptitude, which makes Li Cheng quite distressed.
But under the current circumstances, Li Cheng can only stew in one pot, the first focus is to let the Eskimo children master some everyday words in English, so that they can communicate anywhere in Canada, so that they will not be blind as soon as they go out, and they can also receive formal education more quickly.
Language is the first step in education! Although Li Cheng really wants to teach some Chinese, after all, Canada is the official language of English, and it is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Queen of England, so many things are basically the same as those in the West, the language, and the measurement ......
Now the shijie language is also English, Li Cheng prefers English as the first phalanx of education, which is considered in an objective realistic condition, but Chinese can also be used as an interest learning course for Eskimos, and Li Cheng can't think that he is Chinese, so it is a fact to change English as the official language of Canada, for the sake of the children's future, the first thing to solve is the problem of spoken English, so that if the demonstration is successful, it will get the help of Canada's educational resources and volunteers, Then it is more conducive to absorbing these cultural knowledge, so that it will not be translated twice.
In this week, most of the Eskimo children have learned some spoken language, but the language still needs a good environment, Eskimo and English are very different, the difference in pronunciation makes it difficult to accept, especially for children at the age of 10-18, the mother tongue has been deeply rooted, so it takes more time to master.
This is not in a hurry, Li Cheng plans to come step by step, at least two days a week to the tribe, so that all the children can communicate freely in English, in English, Li Cheng has not yet started to develop from this aspect, first of all, after he can understand what he said, then everything will fall into place.
Today is about to come when Li Cheng leaves the tribe, Li Cheng's efforts in the tribe, everyone sees it, and the 160 children are even more reluctant to Li Cheng, they all say in Chinese: "Teacher, thank you for your hard work!" ”
This sentence is not Li Cheng for them, in this week Li Cheng is all teaching in English, mainly to broaden the children's horizons, and some enlightenment education, most of them communicate in English, and Noah is on the side to assist in translation, he has been very busy, so there is little time to educate so many children, and although there are a few people in the tribe who can speak English, they are all half-, there is no professional education method and formal school life, there is no correct concept of education, and the tribe is still worried about the next meal, Where is the time for what education? And, you say that an Eskimo hunter needs to learn so much science? As long as you can bend the bow and draw arrows and design traps, it is done, and there is no need to keep up with the times.
But after the invasion of the last federal government special forces, the people of the tribe found that communication is very important, if it were not for Noah, Angela and others who could use English, then there would really be a larger-scale conflict, the soldiers of the special operations team armed with guns could easily slaughter the whole village, 1091 people will not be spared, and there are no cameras or anything like that in the national park, everything that the special operations team people do can be hidden, of course, in the case of excesses.
When Li Cheng heard this, he understood that Noah had learned some Chinese when he was in the grizzly bear ranch, so he handed it to the children and asked them to say it in Li Cheng's native language: "Teacher, thank you for your hard work!" ”
Li Cheng was quite moved, there were bean-sized tears in his eyes, a gust of wind and sand blew, Li Cheng finally couldn't help it, a string of tears slid across his cheeks, Li Cheng rubbed it, and said, "The sand has entered his eyes." ”
Noah patted Li Cheng's shoulder, with an expression of understanding, so many children are grateful from the bottom of their hearts, so that Li Cheng, who has always regarded "men bleed without tears" as his life motto, couldn't help but be moved to tears, so many pairs of pure eyes looking at Li Cheng, it really makes people feel emotional!
This week's time together not only allowed the 160 Eskimos to gain valuable spiritual wealth, but also Li Cheng benefited a lot.
Especially......
The little ingots ran over, as always, instigating their fingers, the aggrieved little ingots were like a living little angel, during this time under Li Cheng's careful care, the little ingots slept when they were full, ate when they were full, and their physical development tended to be normal, and the fat baby fat was really lovely, and he was no longer the black and thin orphan, and now the little ingots with a big backer in the tribe have also significantly improved, and no one dared to yell at him.
"Dad...... Dad, I'm ...... Want...... Go "Although Xiao Yuan Bao is young, he understands who is good to him, and the days with Li Cheng are the happiest time in the three years after Xiao Yuan Bao was born, and he instinctively wants to follow Li Cheng back to live in the Grizzly Bear Ranch, and Li Cheng did not call him "Dad" at all.
Xiao Yuanbao's language talent is particularly good, and he also has a strong receptivity in Chinese, which is related to the fact that Li Cheng used Chinese more in contact with Xiao Yuanbao after class.
Xiao Yuanbao's words made Li Cheng hesitate, because Li Cheng had discussed this matter with Noah before, but was told that according to the rules of the Inuit, foreigners could not adopt children of their own clan, probably considering that Xiao Yuanbao would forget about the rattlesnake tribe because of following Li Cheng, after all, in another 10 years or so, Xiao Yuanbao would be a qualified Eskimo hunter.
You can contribute to the tribe! A few days ago, he was personally visited by Angela to talk about the raising of Xiao Yuanbao, and got a negative attitude, that is to say, if the official high-level tribal leaders who are responsible for guardianship do not recognize it, even if Xiao Yuanbao follows Li Cheng, he is a black household in terms of identity, and he may be excluded by the clan, for the sake of his life's happiness, Li Cheng still can't be so selfish.
agreed with Noah, Angela and others to let the clansmen take good care of the little ingots, send someone to take care of them, and pay a salary of about 1,000 Canadian dollars every month, which made many Eskimo women come to apply, and finally selected a more reliable Eskimo aunt to take care of the daily life of the little ingots when Li Cheng left, and Li Cheng will also pay about 1,000 Canadian dollars per month for the living expenses of the Rattlesnake tribe, so as to provide the expenses and food of the small ingots.
And these are all at Noah's disposal, and the currency has no concept of the original Eskimos, if you exchange it for food or something, it is more intuitive.
Before leaving, these have been discussed, Li Cheng understands that Noah also has difficulties, about the adoption of small ingots, it is indeed not something that can be solved in a while, and it is necessary to fully respect the cultural customs of the tribe, if it is forcibly adopted, what is the difference between it and the abduction of children?
Looking at the appearance of the little ingot, Li Cheng picked him up, kissed him violently, lay on the ground, got up in front of the public, and said, "Riding a horse ......."
"Horseback Riding ......"
The little ingots stepped on the big horse and let out an innocent laugh, and Angela, who was standing and watching from a distance, couldn't help crying, but this was the order of the ancestors of the past dynasties, she couldn't disobey it, and Grandma Delores also said that although the two were destined but had no share, forcibly establishing this relationship would only backfire.
Although Grandma Delores's health is getting worse and worse, she still has a certain amount of consciousness, and when she learns about it, she is strongly opposed.
After Li Cheng and Xiao Yuan Bao played "horse riding" for a while, the Eskimo woman who was responsible for taking care of Xiao Yuan Bao also burst into tears, picked up Xiao Yuanbao, and took a large piece of beef to divert his attention, and then Li Cheng got up, sat on the Red Rabbit, and Noah rode on the Mongolian horses, and the two galloped away from the Rattlesnake tribe, and heard Xiao Yuanbao crying hoarsely from a distance!
