After thinking about it, the best thing to do is to get something like a dictionary. Teach Xiuchun and Xiaoman, the backbone of the letter bureau, to learn the phonics of phonetic characters, so that people who have perseverance and eagerness to learn on their own under the guidance of others.

Yuan Dongchu once discussed with netizens the difference between pinyin and phonetic symbols, and he was using it at this time.

Learn to use phonetic symbols to spell and learn, some unlearned, rare words, you can learn through phonetic search, or stroke search.

This plan was prepared before Yuan Dongchu went to Tongzhou, and he happened to come up with it at this time.

Although Yuan Dongchu has avoided the more unacceptable pinyin alphabet, and instead chose phonetic symbols that are closer to Chinese characters, it still makes Xiaoman, Xiuchun and others complain again and again.

Obviously, this method of learning is beyond the scope of their understanding.

What is this? It's not a word at all, and the sound that comes out of it is not clear, and it doesn't have any meaning, so it's completely confusing.

What is even more incomprehensible is that it is necessary to read these strange things one or two together, what is it called phonics?

Not at all, can't find a clue at all, okay?

"Winter girl, let's still learn like we used to, won't we?" Xiao Man looked for a vacancy, plucked up the courage to run and ask Yuan Dongchudao.

He used to write down a sentence or a place name and draw a simple pattern to use as a hint.

They read it well, memorize it, and write it again.

Yuan Dongchu scoffed: "You have time to learn, but I haven't had time to teach yet." Teach you word by word, when will you be able to learn all the words? And ......"

Yuan Dongchu was confident: "I don't know a lot of words, and then I have to use this method to recognize and write." ”

It was true, she didn't know many of the words, and she didn't know how to read them. is this kind of teaching, she also has to consult Qin Xiangru and Gu Tiancheng from time to time.

If you don't pay attention, you can get out that kind of plausible simplified Chinese characters, which is embarrassing.

But who made her aware of the existence of phonetic symbols?

With this, she can buy a set of that, it seems that she can only buy it by saying Wen Jiezi...... And the popularity of dictionaries and dictionaries, it is simply incomparable.

Forget it, let's just say that the text is good. Put forward the simple entries on the words of the saying text and phonetics, and it will be much easier for everyone to learn.

After that, it depends on whether the Qin family can be fooled, let the Qin family contribute to the compilation of the dictionary in the order of pronunciation, and everything can go on logically.

Just like Xiaoman and Xiuchun and others, after mastering the phonetic symbols, she just gave them homework and let them learn it by themselves.

If you really can't understand it, ask her again...... Oh, how beautiful and worry-free is such a prospect?

However, before you can master the phonetic symbols, you still have to work hard.

The primary teaching objects selected by Yuan Dongchu are not only Xiaoman and Xiuchun, but also more than a dozen half-grown children who are full of learning energy such as Xingyao.

In addition, several young people who do porters are also good at reading and writing, and they are also included in the ranks of learning phonetic symbols by Yuan Dongchu.

Yuan Dongchu is both a master and a boss, and people who are not very familiar with her dare not say anything.

Xiuchun and Xiaocui were holding their hearts, for fear of losing the opportunity to do things with Yuan Dongchu, except for working hard and trying to memorize these boring and meaningless characters, they didn't think to raise doubts at all.

They girls are different from Xiaoman and others, even if Xiaoman and Xingyao and others can't learn or learn well, they can still do other things in the future in Herun and Xinju.

They won't be able to do it, if they don't follow Yuan Dongchu, they can only wait to say that they will marry in the future. After getting married, she stayed at home to serve her in-laws and husbands, and circled around the pot table all her life.

Fatigue aside, livelihoods will be much worse.

With Yuan Dongchu's example, they earned more money than their father and brother by selling wild vegetables, where are they willing to live like that for the rest of their lives?

So, the diligent diligence, the diligent and the bitter are still the same, but the learning of the quirky characters and pronunciation continues.

Finally, Xiaoman's complaints and distress attracted Qin Xiangru's attention.

Although in a few days, Qin Xiangru will be the groom's official, he can see the busy and developing momentum of the river operation and the affairs of the letter bureau.

If he can participate a little more, he will not only be able to lighten the burden on others, but also gain something for himself.

Therefore, in the past few days, he has been going out early and returning late, going back and forth between Yanpu Town and Muliang Town, and has not delayed his errand.

He knew that Yuan Dongchu would assign homework to several people who knew better about writing every day and let them practice writing.

At first, he didn't care. Where will it be easy to read and read? It's normal to complain, it's not normal to be as easy as before.

But noticing the sound of these people muttering in their mouths, Qin Xiangru was strange.

In between work, he put down the pen and paper and ran to see what Xiao Man was muttering and writing.

When I saw it, I immediately looked in a daze: "Xiaoman, what did you write?" ”

What kind of fame?

Xiaoman not only "babble", "ah" and "oh" in his mouth, but also chattered very evilly, and the things he wrote were nothing.

What is Miss Yuan teaching?

Xiao Man replied with a bitter face: "How do I know? Miss Yuan let her learn, saying that she could read and write by herself after learning it, without being taught. ”

"How is that possible?" Qin Xiangru said in a lost voice, if reading is so simple, what will you do in the cold window for ten years? What else do you want to do with the master and the master?

Xiaoman spread his hands: "I also think it's impossible, but Miss Yuan lets me learn, how dare I not listen?" ”

After saying that, he turned his back and continued to chant the mantra on the piece of paper in front of him, and while chanting, he drew it on the ground.

Qin Xiangru looked at the ground, and he was even more confused: these little guys, those in their mouths don't look like chanting mantras and don't say them, but what they write is really like runes.

Looking at the other two people not far from Xiaoman, they also wrote strange symbols, but they were slightly different.

Qin Xiangru squatted beside Xingyao, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "This one of yours is not the same as Xiaoman's?" ”

Xingyao's face was full of sorrow, and he didn't jump off the ship at all.

He replied, "It's different." This is my name, Xinghui and Liu Sanhu. These three are the names of Brother Gu, Uncle Yuan, and Gongzi Qin. ”

Qin Xiangru black line, can he not recognize his name?

"No, I mean, it's a ...... Is it a rune? Qin Xiangru was a little stumbling when he asked, is it okay to be silent? How did you come up with runes when you read and read words?

Xingyao continued to grimacing: "It's not a rune, it's a phonetic symbol." Miss Yuan said that reading a single syllable together is the pronunciation of the word. Using our name as an example, it's easier to remember. ”

It's not easy at all, it's not as easy to read as it used to be.

Qin Xiangru looked for several people in a row, but he didn't see any names. There were a few brothers who were quite interested in this, but after reading and asking, they retreated.
