Chapter 25: Persuasion
"Hey!" Responding crisply, Tan Xiaotian ran to the corner of the room with his legs and feet, and ran back from there holding a bluestone slab that was a foot square, although the slate was not very heavy, but it was not easy for a four- or five-year-old child, he returned to the table and put the slate on the table, and with a bang, the sound was quite loud.
"Huh? What is this for? Except for Qiu Ju, the other three people in the house were all inexplicable - Old Master Yuan didn't ask him to write a few words, why did Tan Xiaotian move a bluestone slab? Could it be that the child misheard and thought that he was going to perform tricks like hammering through the top or breaking a boulder in his chest?
Putting down the bluestone slab, Tan Xiaotian ran to the corner of the house again, this time he came back and had two more things in his hand, holding a coarse porcelain bowl with a missing mouth in his left hand, which contained a small half bowl of water, and holding a brush in his right hand, because the brush had been used for too long, the hair was already bald, but the child was not ashamed of the simplicity of the stationery, and his face was full of excitement.
"This," seeing these three props, reading poetry and books, and learning through the ancient and modern old Master Yuan, where can I not guess what this is used for - paper, ink, pen and inkstone, the so-called four treasures of the study, except for the inkstone, the other three are consumables, especially paper, after writing one to change one, although the ordinary paper is not worth a few dollars, but the sand is gathered into a tower, the armpit into a fur, after a long time, the cost is also considerable, and with a brush dipped in water to write on the slate, so that you can save the cost of ink and paper, Qiu Ju and Tan Xiaotian's aunt and nephew were robbed because of the luggage coil, and they were penniless, so they had to send people under the fence and live by sewing and washing for the guests who lived in the hotel, but even so, Qiu Ju still tried every possible way to create conditions for children to learn, thinking that back then, Ouyang Xiu, one of the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties, was four years old and lonely, his family was poor, and he had no money to go to school, and his mother used reed stalks to write and paint on the sand to teach him to read, and Qiu Ju's actions were similar to Ouyang Xiu's mother of the sages.
Qiu Ju smiled wryly - she didn't want to have better conditions so that Xiaotian could study hard, Nai couldn't help it, and this was all she could do now.
Putting the bowl of water on the table, Tan Xiaotian picked up the bald brush and reached into the bowl to dip it in water - this brush is an old pen that Tian Dayi used for bookkeeping at the front desk and threw away unwanted old pens, and it is not suitable for children's hands, but Tan Xiaotian is very skilled in holding the pen, obviously using this pen I don't know how many times he has practiced.
"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang", Tan Xiaotian wrote the surname of a hundred families, and the slate was only a ruler and a square, and it was already full after writing less than ten words.
Pick up the bluestone slab, Yuan Laofu carefully watched, the writing is very childish, but the point, horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, pinch, stroke by stroke are decent, written very seriously, at the age of four or five years can be said to be written like this is very rare, with Yuan Lang's nearly 20 years of teaching experience, I am afraid that two years of school, seven or eight years old children may not be able to write so neatly.
"Okay, good, what a smart child, he has such a performance at a young age, and when he grows up, he must have a bright future and become a pillar of the country." Old Master Yuan praised from the bottom of his heart. This son's intelligence is only seen in his life, and compared with this child, the children who were good in the past have basically become mediocre - as for Tian Qingyou, they almost have to be classified as 'elm pimples'.
"Hehe, every day his aunt, congratulations, Old Master Yuan is easy not to boast, he can say this about your nephew, it can be seen that Tian Tian is not ordinary smart, cultivate well, maybe in the future, you can be named on the gold list, and you will glorify your ancestors." Tian Dayi echoed with a smile,
When he heard the eight words 'the title of the gold list, the glory of the ancestors', an imperceptible bitter smile flashed from the corner of Qiu Ju's mouth, "Xie Yuan's wrong love, Xie Tian's boss's praise, I don't expect to have such a big chance every day, as long as he can grow up healthy and live like an ordinary person, I am already very content." Pulling Tan Xiaotian in front of him and hugging him gently, Qiu Ju said softly.
"Every day, it's not right for you to say that." Yuan Lang shook his head again and again when he heard this, thinking to himself, in the end, women are Taoists, with long hair and short knowledge! As a man, you should stand up to the sky, be an idealistic, ambitious person, the so-called 'born as a hero, death is also a ghost', if the qualification is dull, the body is not good at it, the problem is that every day such a smart and clever child, if it is also like those ordinary people like mediocre people to spend their lives, isn't it a good person to spoil?
"Huh? Please advise Mr. Qiuju and listen to you. For readers, especially teachers who teach and educate people, she is very respectful, seeing that Yuan Lang has objections to his own ideas, she respectfully asked.
"Hehe, if my guess is correct, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" should have been taught by you to Tiantian, right?" Twisting the beard under his chin, Yuan Lang asked with a smile.
"Yes." Qiu Ju nodded.
"Hehe, okay, every day, memorize the last paragraph of the "Three Character Classic" again." Yuan Lang smiled and instructed Tan Xiaotian.
I didn't understand what the adult was saying, so he turned his head to ask his aunt with his eyes, Qiu Ju nodded lightly, and motioned to his nephew to do what the old master told him, so Tan Xiaotian recited it.
", dog vigil, chicken Sichen, don't learn, how to be a person? Silkworms spin silk, bees make honey, people don't learn, not as good as things. Young and learned, strong and walking, up to the king, down to the people. Raise your reputation, show your parents, light in the front, and good in the back. The widow of a person, Jin Manxuan, my godson, a sex classic. Diligent and meritorious, the play is useless, and it is advisable to work hard. ”
Yuan Lang nodded again - he can recite a paragraph casually by a child, which shows that Tan Xiaotian really remembers what he has learned.
"Silkworms spin silk, bees make honey, people don't learn, it's not as good as things - silkworms can spin silk to make clothes, bees can make honey for people to eat, and if people don't know how to learn, with their own knowledge, skills to achieve their own value, then even small animals are not as good. Young learning, strong body, up to the country, down to benefit the people, reputation, show parents, light in the front, rich in the back - when you are young, you should study hard, constantly enrich yourself, grow up to be able to apply what you have learned, serve the country, and seek benefits for the people. If you can do this, the people will praise it, and your parents can also be glorified, and even your ancestors will add luster and leave a good example for future generations" As a teacher at the school, Yuan Lang's research on the "Three Character Classic" can be said to be extremely proficient.
