In the blink of an eye, Dahu is already nine years old, Dalong is also six years old, and his father Jin Guangzheng decided to send his two children to private school according to the old man's wishes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dahu has been looking forward to this day for a long time, he lies in the bed every day, and fantasizes about going to school countless times in his heart, but when he sees his father, who is busy taking care of fruit trees and farm work all day, his tired waist is almost unable to straighten up, and he is embarrassed to mention to his father about studying.
In fact, his father Jin Guangzheng has also been thinking about the two children's schooling, and the reason why he decided to send the two of them to study in private school when Dahu was nine years old is that Jin Guangzheng is careful about him.
He was worried that Dalong would be bullied by the naughty children in the same village when he was young, so he had to wait for Dalong to be six years old and let the brothers go to school together, so that Dahu was a few years older than the children in the school, and he could protect Dalong from being bullied by other children, and Dahu's wish was to study hard, learn calligraphy well, master more things, and complete his grandfather's dying instructions, as for his father's thoughts, Dahu didn't know much.
The village school is located at the foot of the mountain not far from home, it is said that it is a courtyard, most of the courtyard wall has already collapsed, leaving only a large slip of the complete north room, there are about a dozen rooms, in front of the north room is a large open land, overgrown with wild grass, it is said that this courtyard was built by the whole village in the early years for drying and storing grain.
There are a total of fifteen children in the school, and there are eight children in Dahu's class.
On the day of the start of school, Dahu finally met Mr. Teach, whom he had admired for a long time.
Mr. surname Zhang, name Deshun, about thirty years old, one meter eight tall, big shoulders and round waist, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, talking like a bell, the first time they met, Dahu was shocked by Mr.'s appearance, and also subverted the image of Mr. who had been brewing for a long time in Dahu's heart.
In Dahu's impression, Mr. Teaching, even if he is not a white-faced scholar with eyes, should be a kind and soft-spoken person like his grandfather.
Dahu quietly pulled Dalong to him and reminded him that he should be obedient and obedient in front of his husband, and he should not be slack in the slightest.
The class officially started, the first class taught by Mr. is a big character class, the big tiger put the brush and inkstone prepared in advance on the desk, Mr. began to teach from grinding, the children carefully grinded according to Mr.'s requirements, after the grinding was completed, Mr. began to teach, how to take the brush, Mr. repeatedly emphasized that writing a good brush word, the correct pen posture is very important, the pen holding posture is incorrect, and the written brush words cannot be standardized.
Mr. picked up the brush and began to do the demonstration action, he used the thumb, middle finger and index finger to hold the pen barrel, forming a resultant force, the pen tip of the pen barrel, under the action of the three fingers, is in a vertical state, the hand and wrist can not have shaking, to force naturally.
After the completion of the demonstration of the teacher, he asked the children to start the practice according to the main points of the demonstration, in the process of the children's practice, the gentleman will coldly take the brush held by the child from behind, if the brush is not removed, it means that the essentials of holding the pen have been mastered, on the contrary, the brush is easily withdrawn, indicating that the master has not mastered the essentials, and he will accept the punishment of Mr. hitting the palm of the hand with a ring ruler.
Dalong was the first student who was slapped by Mr. and was slapped in the palm of his hand, when Dalong was beaten in the palm of his hand, he instinctively retracted his hand, Mr. refused to let go, and dragged Dalong's hand to beat harder, after Dalong was beaten, he was aggrieved and lay in Dahu's arms, crying that was called a sad heart, and muttered in a small voice:
"Brother, why do you have to be beaten when you go to school, let's go home, I don't want to go to school."
"Dalong, we can't go home, you know? In order to provide for the two of us to study, my parents sold all the new food this year, if we don't go to school, my parents will be so sad! You are now practicing holding the brush with your brother, and when you master the method, you will be sure that you will not be beaten by Mr. again, listen to your brother. ”
In fact, Dahu coaxed his younger brother on his lips, but he saw that Dalong's little palm was beaten red by Mr., and he was very distressed, but Dahu knew that the opportunity for their brothers to study was not easy to come by, and the only thing he could do was to comfort his younger brother to continue to go to school.
Mr. Zhang stood on the podium and saw this scene of the brothers.
To tell you the truth, it is true that Mr. beat Da Long's hand red, but he didn't hit it hard at all, with his size, if he really hit Da Long, it wouldn't break Da Long.
He just used this seemingly strict discipline method to set rules for the children, after all, he is also a father, he knows how difficult it is to provide for the children to go to school in this isolated and poor mountain village, and he wants to let the children cherish the opportunity to learn in this way.
Not to mention, this really worked, the big dragon who was beaten by the ring ruler had a long memory, he remembered the main points that Mr. said, and he naturally did not shake the brush in his hand, and he was soon praised by Mr.
The studious big tiger, after mastering the grinding and correct pen holding posture taught by Mr., was very eager to learn to write calligraphy, and he waited for the children to leave school, took the initiative to find Mr. and asked him to teach him to write calligraphy.
Mr. patiently told the big tiger that the meal should be eaten in one bite, the road should be walked step by step, and the things learned should be solid, and the things must not be rushed, at this time, the big tiger told Mr. that his grandfather had taught him to write brush words, and learned that the big tiger had the foundation of brush words, Mr. asked the big tiger to write a few words on the paper, and the big tiger wrote the first sentence of the three-character scripture handed over by the grandfather, 'At the beginning of man, Although the words of the big tiger are a little immature, the structure of the frame and the strength of the pen still surprised Mr.
From then on, after the students got out of school, Mr. began to eat small stoves for Dahu in private, teaching him to write calligraphy, memorize ancient poems, and plan with both hands.
After Mr. year after year, day after day of careful training, coupled with the hard work of Dahu himself, it took only two years, Dahu to complete all the courses of primary school, his calligraphy, although not as good as the calligrapher, but also quite free and beautiful, he can also blindfold the plan, and do not make any mistakes.
Seeing the achievements, Mr. was proud and gave Dahu a very high evaluation of his studies, calling him one of the few 'good children who are both smart and hardworking' he has seen so far, and formed a friendship with Dahu.
The reason why Dahu finished primary school in two years is not that he does not have the playful nature of children of the same age, but because of the difficulties he has to do.
In the second year of his and Dalong's schooling, the family's crops encountered a severe drought, the yield of fruit trees was reduced, and the food was only enough to barely maintain the survival of the family, and there was no extra food to support the expenses of the two children's schooling.
Dahu is a child with a heart, and he also knows that in order to keep his promise to his grandfather, his father has given up his life, and he is not a child anymore, and he has the responsibility to help his father share the burden of the family, so when the children in the same class are out of school and playing, he is seriously studying with his husband, just to complete his studies as soon as possible and reduce the burden on the family.
After finishing his studies, Dahu said goodbye to his husband and followed his father to take care of fruit trees and reclaim wasteland.
At the end of the year, the family can eat and drink, and some surplus grain can be sold for Dalong to continue studying, although the family's life is not rich and expensive, but it is still peaceful and happy.
Dahu inherited the good tradition of his grandfather when he was alive, and used the beautiful calligraphy he wrote to send festive Spring Festival couplets to his neighbors for free during the New Year's holidays.
The winter months, is the most leisurely time for the big tiger, the ground is frozen, the farm work is gone, most of the time will spend the winter on the kang, lonely people, will find a few people together, play mahjong, idle people, will go up the mountain to dig herbs for a few money.
Of course, Mr. Zhang will not be stingy with the big tiger, he will tell the big tiger what he saw and heard in the outside world, as well as the anecdotes he realized to the big tiger, Mr. said a lot of things, for the big tiger who has never walked out of Shayu Village, it is like listening to the book of heaven, but the big tiger is willing to listen, willing to remember in his mind, willing to go home, lie in the bed, and slowly savor the truth.
It was in that year that Dahu's life changed for the first time.
