Finding that Guan Xiong seemed to be a little embarrassed, Li Dalong hurriedly interjected: "I said, the reason why life is happy is not because you get more, but because you care less." ”

"Mr. Li, what you said is true, but I don't understand what you mean. Guan Xiong asked.

"Camp Commander," said Li Dejin, "is very much like that, he talks so much that not many students like him." I didn't like his classes at all. ”

"What did you say?" Li Dalong slapped Li Dejin angrily, and then wanted to hit him a second time, but was stopped by Guan Xiong.

"You let the child finish his sentence!" Guan Xiong said, and then asked Li Dejin, "You just said that you don't like your father to teach you, do you?

"Uncle Guan, people call him Guan Daxian. Li Dejin replied.

"Guan Erlin of fried oil fruits. Li Dalong hurriedly said, "He's just a fortune teller and a fortune teller, and he can't get mixed up, so he fried the oil fruit." Where can a man like him be truly educated?"

"Why not? Uncle Guan knows that there is a time to read, do you know its meaning and origin?" Li Dejin asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Li Dalong couldn't think of an answer, and felt very embarrassed when he saw Guan Xiong looking at him.

He wanted to take his anger out on Li Dejin, but immediately thought that Guan Xiong was selecting talents between Li Dejin and Shen Zhaoyin, not himself.

However, Li Dalong didn't want to admit that he didn't know, so he wanted to change the topic: "That Guan Daxian hasn't read a few classics, he only knows what is the source? ”

"There is a source!" Li Dejin said, "Uncle Guan said that it is from Chaoyang Baojia's "Officialdom Appearance" in the Qing Dynasty.

There is a gap between reading, which is a metaphor for tricks, and there is a gap in reading, which means that reading can find the deep meaning of the main idea, and can also be integrated. ”

"Gotta get it!" Li Dalong said impatiently, "I haven't heard of Yang or anything, and I haven't seen anything in "The Appearance of Officialdom". It is not well known, and it is not worth quoting scriptures at all. ”

"Mr. Li," Guan Xiong said with a smile, "this is called the terrible life of the offspring! I heard Mayor Shen say that you have been teaching for 20 years, but you have forgotten the teaching of Confucius, 'If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher'. ”

"My lord, I ......," Li Dalong explained, "I'm afraid of children...... If you learn from him badly, you will not follow the right path in the future. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black!"

"What do you say?" Guan Xiong said with a smile, "What's wrong with fortune-telling and divination? People who go into the rivers and lakes don't have real talent and real learning? Mr. Li, I think, you are the kind of gentleman who 'drops his book bag'!"

"Battalion Commander," Li Dejin said, "Uncle Guan said about the New Culture Movement, but I said that the New Culture is not good. ”

Guan Xiong smiled and said, "This is normal. It is precisely because the majority of cultural people in China are conservative and rigid in their thinking and cannot keep pace with the times that there is a new cultural movement in which the cultural elite advocates vernacular literature.

Of course, the New Culture Movement is not only a cultural innovation, but more importantly, a reflection on feudal Taoism and ethics.

In my opinion, an old-fashioned gentleman like you can only teach students to 'drop their book bags'.

If your son lets a gentleman like you continue to teach, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up with the development of the times, and he won't have a big future. ”

Li Dalong was said to be red-faced, and beads of sweat appeared on his head. He raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his head and said to himself, "This ......."

Without waiting for Li Dalong to finish speaking, Guan Xiong said affectionately: "Pastor Hong Renji of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom said in "The Return of Heroes to Truth": 'God Christized man, transcendent sanctification, and return to the basics. In my opinion, educating children should also go with the flow and return to the basics!"

There was silence for a moment.

Shen Yunshan said: "Camp Leader, don't listen to children's words! Mr. Li's ancient literary skills are only a handful in our Qinan Town!"

"Not bad. Guan Xiong smiled and said, "I'm thinking, Shen Gongzi needs to accept Mr. Li's ancient Chinese teaching in Chunan Town to make up for his own shortcomings, this is to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses! ”

"This ......" Shen Yunshan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Little guy," Guan Xiong raised his hand and pointed at Li Dejin and asked, "Is there a gentleman you like in the academy?"

"Nope. Li Dejin replied, then touched his head and said with a smile, "Oh, there used to be a Mr. Du, and his classmates liked him, but he left later." ”

"Why are you leaving?" asked Guan Xiong.

"That's right," Shen Yunshan said, "Camp leader, that Du Xin is young and vigorous, he doesn't look like a teacher, he is flamboyant all day long, I don't know how high the sky is, how thick it is, what kind of system it has become?"

Our town office fired him last year, so that he would not become a black sheep and mislead people's children!"

"Oh, I see......" Guan Xiong said with an eyebrow furrowed.

He couldn't believe that Li Dalong and Shen Yunshan, who had outdated ideas, could educate such excellent children.

"Mr. Du is good!" Li Dejin exclaimed.

"Mayor Shen," Guan Xiong said to Shen Yunshan with a smile, "I think like this: these two sons are very smart, and their intelligence is indistinguishable.

However, I can also see that their nature is a bit unruly, and it may not be a good thing to be together. ”

"Yes, yes!" Shen Yunshan said excitedly, "Your Excellency is really discerning!"

"Besides," Guan Xiong said with a sip of tea, "although I want to run an education wholeheartedly, I can't help myself in troubled times, and I really have more than enough heart and not enough strength! ”

"Yes, of course I understand!" Shen Yunshan said excitedly.

"In my opinion," said Guan Xiong, "both sons should go out to study and make up for the lack of a new culture." This is called adapting measures to local conditions and teaching according to people!

However, even military spending is very tight now, so it is necessary to do what you can to subsidize students, and you can only fund one first. ”

"Who?" asked Li Dejin and Shen Zhaoyin in unison.

Guan Xiong pondered for a while, then pointed at Li Dejin and said, "You!"

Shen Zhaoyin sat back on the stool helplessly, tears glistening in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Doesn't Xiao Dejin write some poems?

Shen Yunshan was very sad in his heart, he didn't understand why Guan Xiong was like this, and he was unwilling to make a wedding dress for others like this.

But he understood that the official was crushing people to death, and he was soft-spoken, so he couldn't change Guan Xiong's decision at all, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow his stomach.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunshan had to pretend to be smiling and said: "Camp Leader, it's really a blessing to be able to meet you! I have a ready-made pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here, and please leave Mobao so that my children and I will always remember you." ”
