Chapter 130: Out of the Mountain
Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "This is not pinyin, this is called English." ”
"English?"
Ah Qing raised his head, his eyes shining with curiosity.
Pang Xuelin said: "English is the most widely spoken language in the world, and most of us use English when we do business with foreigners. A-Qing: You should remember that the teacher said that in this world, in addition to China, there are more than 190 countries, and more than 10 of them speak English. So when A-Qing goes to junior high school, he will learn English. ”
A Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of longing, and he said, "Teacher Pang, can Ah Qing also go to junior high school in the future?" ”
Pang Xuelin nodded: "Ah Qing, you not only have to go to junior high school, but also go to high school, and take the university entrance examination, in the future, Ah Qing will definitely be admitted to the best university in China and even the world." ”
Ah Qing's eyes flashed, and he said: "Teacher Pang, I know that I know, Dad Hu said that our best university in China is called Tsinghua Peking University, and Ah Qing can also be admitted to Tsinghua Peking University in the future." ”
Pang Xuelin touched her little head and said with a smile: "Yes, I will definitely be able to!" ”
"Teacher Pang, can I learn English from you now?"
A-Qing said hopefully.
Pang Xuelin looked at Ah Qing and smiled: "Okay, is it okay for the teacher to teach you now?" ”
"Uh-huh!"
A-Qing laughed happily.
Then, Pang Xuelin spent an hour teaching Ah Qing how to write and read the 26 English letters.
After letting Ah Qing practice alone, Pang Xuelin began to continue to write a proof paper of Fermat's conjecture.
At half past eight in the evening, Ah Qing was taken to sleep by Pang Xuelin.
He himself wrote in the dim light of the oil lamp until nearly eleven o'clock, when he went to bed.
In the following time, Pang Xuelin began to slowly get used to the life of a rural teacher.
I wake up at six o'clock every morning to make breakfast, which is usually gruel with dried radish.
After eating, Pang Xuelin would carry two buckets to the mountain stream to fetch water.
Lingziding Village has not yet been electrified, and naturally there will be no running water.
Every day's daily living water needs Pang Xuelin to go to a mountain stream a mile away to drink.
Fortunately, Lingziding is located in the depths of the mountains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with a humid climate, and there is no shortage of water all year round, and it is also the purest mountain spring water.
At 6:50 a.m., the students arrived at the school one after another.
From seven to eight o'clock, it is morning reading time.
After the morning reading class, Pang Xuelin first taught the first and second grade Hu Xiaobo, Hu Xiaojie brothers and Hu Yingying.
This is the method that Hu Wenbin thought of at the beginning, because the division of grades 1 to 6 was too detailed, Hu Wenbin simply put the students of the two grades together in class.
After two classes in the first and second grades, followed by the third and fourth grades.
Although Hu Liqiang and Hu Lisheng have already reached the fifth grade, because the foundation is too poor, they also have to listen to the classes in the third and fourth grades.
At noon, Ah Qing would help Pang Xuelin cook together.
Most of the time, it is fried cabbage, fried shredded radish, fried potato chips, the seasoning is only salt and soy sauce, and occasionally Pang Xuelin will scramble two eggs for the children to make up.
Hu Wenbin's legacy also includes four old hens that laid eggs.
In the last session of the afternoon, Pang Xuelin will begin to explain the fifth-grade curriculum.
This kind of class is very inefficient, but it is already the best way to do it under the current conditions.
Since this semester is nearing its end, Pang Xuelin plans to wait for the next semester and start making changes after making various preparations.
However, after he entered this world, whether it was his teaching methods or his broadened horizons, he still made students feel different.
At lunchtime, Pang Xuelin would often gather the children together and tell them about the world beyond the mountains and all kinds of fairy tales.
Princess Anna and Queen Aisha in Frozen, Dabai in Robot Story, Bumblebee in Transformers, the magical world of the undead in Dream Quest, Nezha intertwined with magic pills and spirit beads, and Monkey King who changed his life against the sky......
Airplanes, trains, high-speed rail, mobile phones, computers, the Internet, all kinds of nouns are still incomprehensible to children, but the world described by Pang Xuelin makes them yearn for it, and the light of hope in their eyes is no longer as numb and ignorant as the villagers in the village.
On weekends, Pang Xuelin had to find time to take care of the two acres of thin fields left by Hu's father.
In Lingziding Village, pesticides and fertilizers have become luxuries due to inconvenient transportation.
How much can be harvested in a year, most of the time depends on whether God can give it or not.
Fortunately, there are two major gods in the mountains, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and there is no problem with the most basic food and clothing.
With the experience of the Martian world, these farm jobs are not difficult for Pang Xuelin.
A month passed in a flash, and before I knew it, the winter vacation had come.
On this day, Pang Xuelin called Ah Qing aside and said, "Ah Qing, the teacher is going out for a while, a week if it's short, half a month if it's long, and he will definitely be able to come back before the Chinese New Year." Can you take care of yourself when you're home alone during this time? ”
"Teacher Pang, don't worry, I can do it alone!"
Ah Qing raised his small hand and said.
Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "That's good, when I come back, the teacher will bring you something delicious!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Ah Qing nodded.
Since the incident three years ago, Ah Qing's father left Lingziding Village and did not know what happened.
A Qing has become a member of this special family, and Pang Xuelin has a feeling of being a brother and a father to her.
Pang Xuelin patted her little head, and then he went to the village to find the village party secretary, that is, Hu Liqiang's father Hu Liangcai, and entrusted him to help take care of Aqing.
Subsequently, Pang Xuelin packed his bags and began his first journey out of the mountains.
When he went out this time, Pang Xuelin didn't bring much change of clothes, mainly the English paper on Fermat's conjecture he wrote and a dozen Chinese mathematics papers used for irrigation.
The English version of the paper Pang Xuelin is still submitted to the "Annals of Mathematics", and the remaining dozen Chinese papers for irrigation, Pang Xuelin is ready to submit them to "Acta Mathematica Sinica", "Computational Mathematics", "Journal of Engineering Mathematics" and other Chinese journals.
Without exception, these journals are fee-based.
In addition, Pang Xuelin also brought five hundred yuan, except for one hundred for Ah Qing, this is the only money left in the family.
This time, in addition to the cost of eating and drinking, he is also ready to see if he can find a suitable business opportunity and earn a sum of money at the end of the year, on the one hand, he can have a good year, and on the other hand, he can also repair the school building after the New Year.
