Chapter 51: Returning Home to Farm (2)
On the morning of December, which was supposed to be cold and snowy, but now the sun was shining, Galiman spent two hours teaching Anne how to use the ten Arabic numerals 0~9 and how to use the simple four arithmetic of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Anne had already learned simple math under the guidance of the tutor invited by Andre, and there was no problem in calculating the account book with local numbers, after all, in the decimal system, 1+1 is equal to 2 instead of equal to 3, and she still has these common senses when she buys something for thirty-three yuan for a hundred yuan.
Knowing addition and subtraction, then multiplication is a shortcut operation for adding up the same numbers, and division is the inverse of multiplication.
When Garriman just graduated, he was still a hot-blooded young man, and he was bewitched by his friends and went to be a volunteer teacher for two years, watering the flowers of the motherland in rural schools in poor areas, and at the same time cultivating his own habits and teaching experience as a good teacher, otherwise he would not have popularized basic education in the game.
The two hours passed in the blink of an eye with Galima's attentive explanations and Annie's attentive listening, and because Garriman had other things to deal with, there was probably only so much time he could spare each day.
"That's all for today's lesson." Behind Garriman is a blackboard that is erected, made of rough slate brushed with a layer of black lacquer, and the chalk in his hand is even simpler, there is a limestone mine near the city of Burretta, buy ten kilograms of limestone, add water and stir it into the mold to solidify, and there is a large pile of chalk.
Garriman took out a stack of rice paper and handed it to Anne, and said with a smile: "Your brother and I have other things to do, and in the next time, you will memorize this ninety-nine multiplication table, and finish this pile of exercise papers, and consolidate the new numbers and four operations I gave you today." β
"By the way, there are still some knowledge points in these exercises that I didn't teach you today but are written in the book, so you have to check the book yourself and finish them."
The exercises given by Gariman are not that difficult, after all, for beginners, it is most important to lay a solid foundation, so the problems in this pile of exercises are basically four arithmetic problems, and there are some complex and lengthy problems that require calculation ability and carefulness, such as how much is from one to one hundred and how much is one by thirty, which test patience.
Seeing Anne flipping through the test papers with trembling hands, Garriman suddenly regained the correct feeling of being a teacher, and his interest in being a teacher was greatly satisfied, and he walked away with a new spirit, leaving Anne alone in the martial arts arena.
Don't forget, when Garriman was Hejia in his previous life, he grew up facing his parents' cramming education, and his method of teaching and educating people could not be separated from the tactics of the sea of questions no matter what.
Chocolate curled up on his limbs while Galriman was lecturing, lying on a chair beside him to enjoy the warm but not hot autumn sunshine, accompanied by the drowsy voice of Galliman's teacher1234 talking about the knowledge in the math textbook, and the soul that gradually assimilated with Garriman inexplicably felt that he had always wanted to do this, and occasionally slept while the teacher was talking about the lessons he already knew on the podium, and he dozed off listlessly as he did now.
Picked up the chocolate that was about to fall down with his squinted eyes and shook his head, and left the arena. Galiman left the castle and went to an office building near the castle that belonged to a special office for the affairs of the city, and found Baron Abner Adest, the archon who managed the city of Buretta in place of Galliman's cheap father Andrei, and the eldest son of the old butler of the Vidilon family.
Before Galiman returned to the Winter Wolf Territory, within seven days of darkness, AndrΓ© had already set out for the border to prevent the orcs from taking advantage of the chaos to attack, and the management of the city was in the hands of Abner Adest, the son of the old butler Kevin Adest.
Andrei is usually the mayor of Buretta, but as a Gold-Rank general, he has an irregular time every year when he needs to be on the front line - usually during orc invasions, so as the second archon, Abner Adeste is the main manager who stays in Buretta City all year round.
Arriving at Abner Adest's office, the heavy wooden door was ajar, and Garriman knocked on the door, paused, and walked inside.
Abner Adest sat behind a large stone desk, putting down his papers and watching Garriman walk in. He stood up with a smile and gave Garriman a hug, "Welcome back to Buretta City, my little Galiman, you don't know how much your father cares about your safety these days, if it weren't for the need for him to guard the situation on the front line, Lord Andrei would have looked for you personally." β
Abner Adest's even when dealing with government affairs is wearing a suit of armor, a set of fish scale armor, this weight is certainly not a problem for a silver-class warrior, but this costume shows that this Abner Adeste not only wants to deal with government affairs, but also wants to go to the battlefield to establish meritorious deeds. It's just that as one of the few well-versed politicians among the people who can be trusted by Lord Andre in the territory, Abner Adeste only has the time to go to the border to fight the orcs when Andre returns.
The north is rich in strong men with noble figures, and Abner Adest's body doesn't look like a clerk at all, and his bear-like body is wider than two Garriman standing side by side, giving Garriman a big strong hug that almost drows him in his chest muscles.
"Of course, Uncle Abner, but my father will definitely punish me." When Abner Adest let go, Garriman smiled wryly, "So it's like I'm doing something to keep my father off during the time he's free." β
He took out another wad of paper and handed it to Abner Adest.
The town hall, which required a lot of paperwork, was still using slate and wooden planks to record things, and cloth was used to convey information in case of emergency, and the papyrus was too fragile and easy to break, and this white and tough paper was a novelty for Abner Adest.
