Chapter 26: Arithmetic is taught in the cave

If Yang Ming knew that Du Xiaoyuan would use him to plagiarize the verses in "Dream of Red Mansions" to fight back, Guan Jiaren doesn't know how he would feel. However, it seems that Yang Ming has put a lot of effort into pursuing Xiaoyuan, and even copied a lot of Mr. Xueqin's poems, which can be described as well-intentioned.

There is little gossip, and it is said that Guan Jiaren has been depressed since he returned home in a decadent manner, and he didn't even have the heart to play with the beautiful concubine he brought, and it was not until dawn that he was lonely and taken by the people sent by Yang Ming to the cave where the children were studying. Guan Jiaren's teaching is quite good, whether it is to talk about history or reasoning, he can go from shallow to deep, even four or five-year-old schoolchildren can listen to it with relish.

There are only six people in Hanjia Village who have a certain degree of cultural accomplishment, Yang Ming, Du Xiaoyuan, Yun Die, Lan Dafu, Zhang Yuanwai, and Guan Jiaren, and there are now hundreds of children under the age of 15 in the village who need education, and there are thousands of villagers who need to be literate, so generally speaking, there are still many students and teachers in urgent need.

Even when Yang Ming was on vacation, he had to come to the cave to teach the children, and he generally taught students who had popularized the basic Chinese character reading and writing skills and the reading ability of articles and poems by Du Xiaoyuan and Yun Die. Because Yang Ming, as a science student, can only teach them mathematics, physics and chemistry, and it is still a little difficult to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry without a certain educational foundation.

Although it is said that the sun is scorching outside, but the inside of the cave is as cool as spring, outside the cave is the stream and waterfall that flows straight down, the cliff wall in the cave is full of vines and wild flowers, and the cave is full of forty or fifty desks with elm fragrance, and dozens of children sitting in front of him upright reminded Yang Ming of the days when he went to Liangshan to teach in college.

These children are as cute and obedient as the children in Liangshan, and they are also full of thirst for knowledge and desire to change their fate. Their eyes were also very bright, and their little wheat-colored hands were clumsily holding brushes, pressing the simple textbooks on the table tightly, and most of them buried their heads and peeked at themselves from time to time, and then lowered their heads in horror.

"Hello students!" As soon as Yang Ming came in, he greeted these children, and the second girl sitting in the front row was already overjoyed, and said to a little chubby dun next to him: "I said that today is the son who came to teach us, don't you believe it." ”

"I've seen Childe!" The children also stood up and bent down to salute, and the little chubby dun sat down and said: "Erya, did you say that the son beat people, I am stupid, in case he tests me to memorize poems again, what if I can't memorize it, but I still like to let Miss Block teach me, Miss Block is beautiful and gentle, and never beats me." ”

"I don't know, I shouldn't fight", Erya didn't want Yang Ming to see him talking below, so he sat upright with his chest straight.

Yundie has always been a temperamental female teacher, specializing in the naughty little boys in the village, if anyone makes a mistake and recites poems, they will be whipped. This little chubby dun was scared by her. So when he saw Yang Ming, he didn't dare to say more, and sat upright.

Guan Jiaren, who was passing by the cave where Yang Ming was during recess, happened to see Yang Ming saluting the children again, and couldn't help but say with disdain: "This Yang Ming still understands how to respect teachers and value teaching, as a dignified gentleman, he actually salutes with the students, what kind of system!" ”

Here, Yang Ming has already started to teach: "Last time, I have taught you addition and subtraction, this time I will teach you multiplication, and let everyone learn to memorize the ninety-nine multiplication formula." ”

"It's really putting the cart before the horse, not teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics, but teaching some useless things", Guan Jiaren, who watched for a while, couldn't help but despise Yang Ming even more, and became more and more suspicious of whether the poem that Xiao Yuan read last night was really written by Yang Ming.

Three quarters of an hour later, a simple elementary school math lesson was over. Yang Ming was about to shout, "See you in the afternoon, classmates", when a young man of about fourteen years old came over, bowed down and saluted Yang Ming: "Childe, please forgive the student for being presumptuous, since listening to Childe's arithmetic class, the student has always had a question, that is, why Childe said that one plus one equals two." ”

"Childe, please see, the water in this cave converges into a stream, and the water in the cave on the opposite side converges into a stream, and these two streams converge and flow into the small river in the village, but doesn't this mean that one plus one equals one, a river and a river add up to one river."

"Please also ask the son to testify to answer the students' doubts!" After the young man finished speaking, he bowed to Yang Ming.

Nima, who said that the ancients were not smart, Lao Tzu University taught in five or six places for four years and no one questioned it, and now he was questioned by a mountain boy as soon as he came, and he also questioned it confidently, and he even secretly changed the concept and used examples as evidence.

This stumped Yang Ming, proving that one plus one equals two is not something that he, an ordinary college student, can figure out, but Yang Ming has always been a frank person, and he didn't deliberately apologize in front of this young man: "This classmate, Childe, I admit my mistake to you, Childe is only a shallow learner, what he has learned is not superficial, and he can cope with the exam, but he is not proficient in these, so he can't answer it for you." ”

But isn't it, when I was bored before, I discussed with a few roommates whether one plus one is not necessarily equal to one, this seemingly simple problem actually has to be pulled for a long time, Yang Ming is not willing to dwell on this problem.

However, the young man still didn't let Yang Ming go: "I wonder if Gongzi can tell the students who taught you this kind of knowledge, that is, who is the Taishigong?" ”

"Who teaches math, you ask? The physical education teacher taught, okay", Yang Ming was also a little impatient, how could he meet this kind of student who broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"Sports? Is there a person with a surname in this world? When the student was about to ask Yang Ming who the "physical education" teacher was, Yang Ming had already spoken: "What is your name, who are your parents, for the sake of you being so studious, if you have any questions in the future, come to me directly, but I don't guarantee that I know everything, but I can tell you everything I know." ”

Originally, Yang Ming wanted to run away directly, so as not to be caught and ask the truth, but when he thought that there was finally a child in Hanjia Village who was interested in mathematics, he couldn't discourage people's enthusiasm for learning. The reason why I asked his parents was because I wanted to know whose child was so hanging, and it was definitely not the wild child born to Zhang Yuanwai and Aunt Lin.

"Student Lin Jiayuan, mother is Lin Yingcui", Lin Jiayuan was stunned for a moment, and then only said his mother. Yang Ming didn't expect that it was really Aunt Lin's child, and accidentally poked the sensitive part of this child, so he smiled apologetically: "It turns out that you are Aunt Lin's child, no wonder you are so smart, this is my arithmetic handout, you can take it and see it first." ”

Lin Jiayuan was also very excited when he saw this, and after hurriedly expressing his gratitude, he took the handout and looked through it.

As soon as Yang Ming left, Erya walked in front of Lin Jiayuan: "Lin Jiayuan, how can you question Childe and make Childe embarrassed." ”

"That's right, what can you understand, isn't it just that you can memorize all the poems and articles in front of Sister Yundie, what's the big deal, dare to question the son, you are embarrassed by the son, you are embarrassed by everyone in our Hanjia Village", Xiao Chubby Dun also came out and accused.

"As a scholar, you should be ashamed to ask, and the son is not angry", Lin Jiayuan said and left.

"Erya, don't pay attention to this wild bastard who has a mother and no father, you are the most favored child of the son, and your identity is more noble than his mongrel", before the little fat dun finished speaking, Lin Jiayuan ran back and grabbed the little fat dun's clothes: "What did you just say?" ”

"Why, I just said it, the old people in Hanzhong know that you are the seed that Aunt Lin borrowed from Zhang Yuan, you are a mongrel, a mongrel!" After Xiao Chubby Dun finished speaking, he was punched by Lin Jiayuan, and then Lin Jiayuan threw his sleeves and left.

Only Erya stood there and shouted: "Lin Jiayuan, you come back to me, you won't come again, I'll tell Sister Yundie to go." ”
