Chapter 139: Trivia before School Starts
Several days have passed, and Zhou Daoan, who has no major events, still maintains his regular life.
Huang Li'er and her father have already transferred their household registration, Uncle Bai considered, Zhou Daoan is not an adult after all, it is not good to directly arrange the work of maids and guards for these two people, so let them live on the second floor of the Huizi Building, as the rough servants of the Zhou family (the first floor of the Hui Zilou is a tenant, the second floor is a rough servant, and the third floor is the master's family and close servants).
In this way, Zhou Daoan did not have too many opportunities to meet Huang Li'er. There's no rush here, just wait for the logical future.
Zhou Daoqi has gradually been busy during this time - first his strict father Zhou Daoan's second uncle, who took him to the public school first for a spin, and became familiar in front of the new teacher. Then his fox friends and dog friends also came to Yuzhang from other surrounding counties one after another, all of them came to "adapt" to life in advance, and they inevitably recounted their feelings.
Therefore, in the past few days, Zhou Daoqi has only run to Zhou Dao'an once, or because he stopped by to pick up the "Dahui" and turned here to settle down. It's not because the other party's identity is noble, and he needs to be greeted by Young Master Qi in person, but to show off the new landwalker......
Of course, Zhou Daoqi also brought a piece of news - the Xia family boy has been in Yuzhang County for a few days. The old lady of the Xia family actually bought a property in Yuzhang County for the sake of his grandson, which is a two-storey, medium-sized Huizi building......
Hearing this news, Zhou Daoan didn't feel much at first. I felt a little tired later-judging from all the circumstances, the Xia family kid would definitely not be friends with him. It's a bit awkward for such a person to live too close to him. Not to mention that he is afraid of him, but to say that he dangles in front of you from time to time, it is also very annoying.
Fortunately, the other party has not yet come to the door or appeared in front of him. But it is said that the Xia family boy has begun to take turns to visit the county guard, teachers and classmates, and seems to want to seek a good popularity.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!
At present, Zhou Daoan himself has also improved to a certain extent after this period of hard work. First of all, his cultural level has been greatly improved, and he has mastered the basic knowledge of literacy and hyphenation, word choice and sentence formation, and it is estimated that even if the school starts, even if the memorization accumulation is not enough, at least he can keep up with the class.
In terms of practice, Luo Jiaoxi, who looked down on Zhou Daoan, also gave careful guidance and helped Zhou Daoan readjust his exercise plan and keep his body alive. Although it is past the best age to build a foundation, it is much more efficient than the exercise plan that Zhou Daoan took for granted. In just 20 days, Zhou Daoan felt that his physical fitness must have broken through the threshold of IN+, and in another half a year, he may be able to reach the threshold of N level.
Moreover, with the growth of his physical fitness and strength, the power of the only attack skill he mastered has also increased, it seems that skill mastery is one thing, but it is greatly increased by physical fitness! Just like the subtlety of the martial arts master's moves in the novel, it is not enough, it has to be combined with deep internal strength.
On August 16, the day after the Han Reunion Festival (equivalent to the Mid-Autumn Festival), Luo Jiaoxi and Fu Fuzi came to bid farewell to Zhou Daoan.
The next day will be the day when the public school will start, and correspondingly, the private school of the Zhou family will also start classes. Luo Jiaoxi and Fu Fuzi both had to go back to teach the children of the Zhou family. During this time, they are just equivalent to making up classes in the summer vacation to earn some extra money, and serious work is not in conflict.
During this time, the two of them lived very comfortably in the Western Zhou Dynasty, first of all, they received a lot of salaries. Although the conditions in the Western Zhou are not as good as those in the Eastern Zhou, the two teachers are also the best material treatment, with good food and housing, and there is nothing wrong with the two. Secondly, teaching Zhou Daoan, a very hard-working student, the two teachers are also very happy. Although teaching is a job and cannot be based on interest, the process of teaching students well and not having to worry about it will make the professor physically and mentally happy. Junior students often make teachers spend a lot of extra effort, and the teaching process is not smooth, which is more uncomfortable than constipation. Zhou Daoan belongs to the former, so the two teachers have taught well during this time, and they agree that among the third generation of the Zhou family, in addition to the genius Zhou Daoxuan, he is the most successful young master of Western Zhou'an!
The two were quite reluctant to say goodbye, especially Luo Jiaoxi. He said bluntly: "I have completely taught the method of building the foundation to Childe, and even if I invite the foundation building master again, it will only be a sparring partner for Childe!" But with Childe's self-discipline, I don't think it's necessary, just persevere every day! ”
Perseverance is actually the most important adage that all practitioners should follow, and it is also the most difficult point. Cultivation must start from a young age, from early practice, and it is even more difficult for the disciples of the family! Because they are not like those poor disciples who want to change their fate and get ahead, there is no other way out except hard work. The children of the family are smooth, and even the concubines have much higher living conditions than the commoners, and the motivation is insufficient to continue to work hard.
Therefore, the family has risen and fallen, except for the three prosperous and five surnames, the other families have not stood for thousands of years, at most "each leading the way for hundreds of years".
Zhou Daoan heard such a high evaluation of Luo Jiaoxi, and he couldn't help but secretly scream ashamed. He is not a person with earth-shattering ambitions, and the reason why he works hard is also because of the huge pressure given by the Ark, especially the so-called death mission......
Bidding farewell to the two teachers, Zhou Daoan also devoted himself to the preparation for the "start of school". In this regard, Da Chun and Xiao Gui are actually very experienced. The two of them called Huang Li'er and began to explain while cleaning up:
The public schools in Yuzhang County are large in scale, and the system is the same as that of Yongjing (the capital) - from the age of seven to twenty-two, students can be enrolled. In the span of 15 years, it is divided into three school sections: "kindergarten, middle school and high school", each school period spans 5 years, and the "expiration promotion and retirement system" is adopted, and the school section is not completely promoted and lowered according to age. This means, for example, that a twelve-year-old who has completed his homework in the "K" stage can move on to the "middle" stage. If he can't complete it, then the public school will not take him in anymore and will drop out. Conversely, if a 10-year-old has already completed the "Nursery" section, he or she can immediately move on to the next level.
Of course, this rule is relative to the general public, and public schools have the nature of selecting talents, so once ordinary people can't keep up with their studies, they will be fired immediately. If you want to learn, you can only learn by smuggling.
For the children of the family, it is not restricted by this rule. For example, Zhou Daoqi, at the age of seventeen, he directly entered the "high" stage of public school. Naturally, his results can't be seen, but no one will "card" him or dismiss him. Zhou Daoan's cultivation is not good, but his cultural learning is not bad, at the age of sixteen, he completed the "middle" stage of study a year ahead of schedule and entered the high stage.
Of course, the children of the family also have to be divided - those who do not have cultural advantages among the peripheral children still stay in their own private schools. Otherwise, the family will occupy all the public resources, and the public school will become a private school, which is not appropriate and not allowed by the system.
Except for the "kindergarten" section, other students in the public school are required to "live on campus". I have 3 days off every month to return home, and the rest of the time I live at school.
But don't think that the homework in the public school is so busy, in fact, the cultural class in the public school is only half a day of classes, and the rest of the time is left to the public school students to dispose of themselves. Most people will choose to practice, and at this time, there will be no teachers to guide them in public schools, because the exercises they practice are not "public resources", they all belong to various families or sects.
As a result, this led to the policy of "companion reading" derived from public schools. Because the practice requires a master or sparring partner, these people can live in the school as part of the "chaperone". The children of the poor family may be in groups to find a teacher and then practice collectively, while the children of the family can be guided by one person if they have the conditions.
Of course, a disciple like Zhou Daoqi, who had given up orthodox cultivation for a long time, not only did this half day belong to free time, but even the quota for accompanying reading was allocated to "servants". For example, Zhou Daoqi brought two companions, Qingming, who belonged to the scholar to accompany the school, and a big girl Caizhi, who was responsible for daily life - including the bed warmer.
This system may seem absurd at first glance, but in fact the concept here seems normal. The children of the high school family have two people in the same room, but the big ones can sleep in one person - this is even if there are material conditions. As a senior student, it is generally an adult who has reached the age of seventeen, if you want to complete the senior study and get in your early twenties, this time is the time when hormones are bursting, and it is impossible to endure loneliness.
In addition, the family itself also attaches great importance to inheritance, and it is "common feeling" to be engaged at the age of seventeen. Since the young masters have to live in the school because of their studies, there is nothing wrong with the girls going with them!
Before, Zhou Daoan entered the same dormitory as the children of another small family, and both of them were under the age of seventeen, so they only brought a scholar.
This year, Zhou Daoan will turn seventeen in a few months, and he is the only child of the sect in the Western Zhou Dynasty, so he is also eligible to apply for a separate dormitory. However, Zhou Daoan did not plan to "upgrade" immediately. After all, he is not really an adult, and this is the first time he has enrolled in school since he was reborn, so he has to do superficial work. So, he was going to leave it as it was.
However, Zhou Daoqi is enthusiastic! His attitude towards Zhou Daoan now is not what it used to be, and he still thinks that this cousin of Western Zhou is a follower, and he loves to ignore it. Now he has a request for Zhou Daoan, and he knows that Zhou Daoan's ability is not what it used to be, so he immediately took a lot of land and helped Zhou Daoan get a separate dormitory in the public school in advance, next to his own - he even wanted to open the two dormitories so that they could be more intimate.
