Chapter 7 Why Read and Read

Teacher Fang Nan's class has started!

After breakfast, the 12 to 15-year-old boys in the village gathered in front of Fang Nan's house with a bench, which was a temporary classroom for Fang Nan to teach his students.

There is no house in Qingshan Village that can accommodate more than 40 people with a relatively large indoor area, Fang Nan has already discussed with the village elders, and when the villagers are free, they will build a big house for the village to use as a school.

When the first student came to the clearing, Fang Nan walked out of the house and waited for his students to arrive one by one, and about half an hour passed before the last student slowly came late.

There is no way to do it, there is no accurate timing tool in Qingshan Village, the time is about to touch, before Fang Nan told the students that the time to go to school is after breakfast, the meal time of each family in the village is inconsistent, so the students come early and late.

In addition to Fang Nan, Hu Xiaoya, and the other forty-two students, there were some children around the makeshift classroom, all of whom were younger than 12 years old and could not participate, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

No adults came to watch, it was the autumn harvest season, and they all went to the fields after breakfast, but there was no leisure time to come and watch.

Fang Nan's first batch of students, aged 12 to 15, also had to participate in the farm work, helping the adults with their work, even if the school was about to officially open, Fang Nan did not stop them.

The students have three classes a day, which last for an hour and a half, Fang Nan puts the Chinese and math classes after breakfast, and the physical education class before dinner, and in between, Fang Nan will take the students to work in the fields.

In the open space that was used as a temporary classroom, Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya stood at the front, in front of the two of them, there were forty-two students holding benches in their hands, and they did not carry sand and wooden sticks as paper and pencils.

Most of the students have a confused look on their faces, as children living in the mountains, they don't know the use of reading and literacy, nearly half of them join in because they want to listen to Fang Nan's storytelling, and some of them are pulled in by other friends, and there are no people who really join in because they want to read and write.

"Let's line up the seats first, the short people stand in the front, the tall people stand in the back first, the men's row, the women's row, one by one." Looking at the students in front of him, Fang Nan said loudly.

"Queue? What is Queuing? ”

The children in the deep mountains couldn't even understand what "queuing" meant, so Fang Nan could only come in person, pull out a few boys, and line them up in a vertical row according to their height.

Fang Nan demonstrated this, most of the students understood, according to their height, to join the queue, but there were also some unresponsive students standing outside the queue with wide eyes and watching, not knowing what they should do, Fang Nan shot again, sent the remaining students into the queue, and two crooked queues were formed.

The queue was completed, but the matter was not over, Fang Nan asked the boys' platoon and the girls' platoon to walk to both sides of the temporary classroom, and then Fang Nan pulled the students one by one and fixed them in a position in the temporary classroom.

There are exactly forty-two students, six in the horizontal row, seven in the vertical row, the boys occupy the three vertical rows on the left, the girls occupy the three vertical rows on the right, the short students sit in the front, the tall students sit in the back, Fang Nan as the teacher, and Hu Xiaoya as the teaching assistant, all standing in the front.

"Everyone remember their position, see who is around them, and tomorrow class will follow this position, if you can't remember your position, you can make a mark on your position."

Hearing Fang Nan's words, the teenagers sitting on the bench looked forward, backward, and left and right, and wrote down who was in front of them, left and right, and many people made some marks on the ground in their positions.

Syllable! Syllable!

Seeing that everyone was almost done, Fang Nan clapped his palms to make a sound, attracting the students' attention, and then said: "Okay, let's officially start class, today I won't teach you to read and write, I guess many of you are not interested in reading and literacy, because you want to hear me tell stories." ”

"Yes, Anan, we just wanted to hear your story."

"I also want to hear Anan tell stories."

"Anan just tell us stories, we don't want to read and write."

As soon as the students said a word, the whole classroom was in chaos, and the messy sound made Fang Nan's head hurt, and he quickly used various methods to calm down the students.

"We live in the mountains, reading and reading is useless, this is something we all know, do you want to live in this deep mountain for the rest of your life, live in a dilapidated house, wear rough clothes, eat food that does not taste much, and in the famine year we can't even eat enough, are you willing to live such a life?"

"I don't want to!" Forty-two students said in unison, and even Hu Xiaoya shouted along.

This is their innermost thoughts, the people of Qingshanzhai can live in the mountains, and at the same time they are also pursuing a better life, but the mountains and the outside government and landlords will block their pursuit of a better life, it can be said that the people of Qingshanzhai are now trapped in the mountains.

"You don't want to, I don't want to, I have lived in another world for thirty years, that life is not many times better than our Qingshan Village, I don't know how many times better, I can't eat enough food, gorgeous clothes, comfortable houses, I can't live anymore when I return to Qingshan Village for more than ten days, it's a pity that I can't go to that wonderful world in my life."

Listening to Fang Nan's words, many students in the classroom followed all kinds of fantasies in their minds, these days they listened to Fang Nan's stories, their minds were also fantasizing about the appearance of another world, they also hoped that they could live in that beautiful world, Fang Nan had been there once, they had never even seen it.

"We can't go through that world, but in the world we live in, outside this mountain, there is a better life waiting for us than Qingshanzhai.

But it's useless for us to go out now, we are just ordinary people, and there are countless ordinary people like us in the outside world, and there are also vicious officials and landlords who are oppressing and exploiting us, and it is because of those vicious officials and landlords that our elders have fled into this deep mountain.

Now I can tell you that being able to read and write is the easiest way for everyone to live a good life in the outside world, as long as you can read and write, you are a scholar, no longer an ordinary person, and will not be oppressed by the government and landlords.

Now you are willing to read and write with me? ”

"Willing to !!"
