Chapter 146: Coaxing Brother Xun
Lunar Ding Ji year, autumn.
As usual, after Lu Xun paid his salary, he was ready to go to the small restaurant at the corner of the street to rub it and cut two taels of beef, which was also a fixed monthly celebration, and by the way, he changed the banknotes issued.
In the past, it could still be sixty percent of the ocean, forty percent of the banknotes, but now it is not possible, and now the ocean is getting less and less, and there are more and more banknotes.
"Uncle Ma, a bowl of beef noodles, the noodles are thickened, and the meat is increased." As soon as the front foot stepped into the restaurant, Lu Xun with his right foot couldn't wait to greet his voice in, knowing that the other party was old and behind his ears, he deliberately raised his voice.
"Well, add a bowl to the back kitchen, thicken the noodles, and increase the amount of meat." After giving instructions to the back kitchen, the shopkeeper greeted the customer with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing?"
"What's so bad about it, live in troubled times, one day at a time, Uncle Ma, I'll pay the money first." Unlike others, Lu Xun habitually paid the money first when eating noodles and handed over the banknotes that had just been issued.
Holding the banknote, the shopkeeper looked left and right, and finally got closer and saw that there was an old customer in front of him, so he accepted the money with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhou, the loss is you, if you are an outsider, we will definitely not be able to accept such a big ticket, maybe it will rot in your hands one day, which is not good."
Lu Xun thought about it carefully, it was indeed like this, and he also felt a little uncomfortable: "Then forget it, I'll save it the same when I go back, let's give you change first."
"Don't mind, they're all regular customers, I'll just say that, you don't have to take it to heart." The shopkeeper is also a sincere person, waving his hand and smiling: "It's the same everywhere, but I advise you, get this banknote or spend it as soon as possible, replace the object at home, and look comfortable."
One day, if something happens at home, take it out to deal with emergencies. Having said that, it's still a good envoy of the ocean, how long have you said that the people of Yuan Xiangcheng have been dead, this Yuan Datou can still blow buzzing in his mouth, and he doesn't like it when he sees it."
Men always like to talk about national affairs, and this is also the case in this era.
From the recent restoration of the Braided Army in China, to the recent flood in Zhili, to Duan Qirui's plot to assassinate Li Yuanhong, and even the shortage of materials in Berlin abroad due to World War I, the government came forward to ban family baths to solve the problem of coal and water, and the shopkeeper also had to talk about it.
In front of outsiders, Lu Xun is much more polite, most of the time it is the shopkeeper who is talking, Lu Xun is listening, and from time to time he echoes or nods, expressing that he agrees with the shopkeeper's point of view, which makes the shopkeeper very useful.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
It tastes good, but it's spicy."
"Yes, then I have to try it, but unfortunately, I can't eat too spicy, so I can only pick and choose a few to taste." The person who came was also self-cooked, picked up the chili pot and began to make chili peppers into his bowl.
It stands to reason that the two of them should not have communicated with each other after eating, and after eating, they went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.
But the strange thing is that the man took a bite of noodles and looked at Lu Xun twice, and it seemed that it was easier to eat with Lu Xun.
Rao is a pure food lover of Lu Xun, and he was also looked at hairy, so he took his eyes off the noodle bowl and looked at the other party carefully.
"Sir, eat noodles, eat noodles, you keep looking at me, do I have vegetable leaves on my face...... Cheng Nuo!?"
"Brother Yucai, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much." Seeing that he couldn't pretend anymore, Cheng Nuo raised his head with a smile and straightened the hair that had been pressed down: "But Brother Yucai, it's too late for you to find out, the noodle soup has bottomed out, so you found me, no wonder you've been eating in this noodle restaurant."
After confirming that it was Cheng Nuo, Lu Xun said happily: "When did you come back, there is no news in advance, so we can pick up the wind and wash the dust for you in advance."
Cheng Nuo drank a bowl of noodle soup and said with a smile: "Why is it so troublesome, it is not bad to eat homely food in your mouth, not to mention that even if you go to a restaurant, the noodle soup there may not be as good as here."
Lu Xun agreed: "It's also said that it's better to talk about this one. How is it, is the trip to Shanghai still going well, is there any different harvest, and how to go next?"
Cheng Nuo also ate noodles very quickly, taking advantage of the other party's speech, he stirred it directly, and there was only noodle soup left in the two bowls: "Speaking of which, the harvest is still relatively large, the size of our team has been further expanded, and the next step is to go hand in hand with education and industry."
Brother Xun nodded, thought for a while, and said, "So, the piece of land next to Tsinghua School, are you going to take him down to run a university?" Peking University is big, but it's still too small for you."
"I can't let Cai Gong know that Peking University is enough for me to be ambitious." Cheng Nuo put some vinegar in the noodle soup and said while drinking: "That piece of land is not used for running a university, but for scientific research. ….
Speaking of this, Lu Xun's face darkened, and the noodle bowl he had just picked up was put down again: "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country are princes." If these warlords are not eliminated, the country will not be at peace, and the people will not be comfortable."
In terms of reasons, Cheng Nuo, as a person who has come over, naturally has to see it more thoroughly, but there are some things that are not suitable to be said, so he did not take the topic, drank the noodle soup and said with a smile: "A gentleman has something to do and something not to do, he knows what he can do and does it, and he knows that he can't do it, which is the way for a gentleman to do and not to do."
Lu Xun was puzzled: "What is possible and what is not to be done?"
Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Those who go against the general trend can't do it, but those who follow the people's will can. All we can have is paper and pen, and resistance in the face of guns and cannons is undoubtedly a grasshopper shaking the tree. But paper and pen can influence more people to join our team, which is also in line with Brother Yu Cai's original idea of abandoning medicine and following literature."
After thinking for a while, Brother Xun sighed: "From the text, it is not necessarily smooth, the paper will break when you poke it, and the pen will break when it is broken."
Thinking that he had just experienced the restoration of the Braided Army in Beijing, it had a great impact on Lu Xun, and he was introduced to "New Youth" by Mr. Chen Zhongfu and others earlier, and he had just recovered his fighting spirit, but now he is a little discouraged.
Cheng Nuo shook his head: "Then put more paper and concentrate some pens, the thickness will naturally be able to resist bullets."
Brother Xun wondered, "So what do you mean?"
Cheng Nuo replied, "What I mean is that we should run higher education without forgetting basic education. As many children have lost their parents and become de facto orphans, I would like to take advantage of this time to set up a primary school to be responsible for the life and learning of these children."
After thinking for a while, Lu Xun said happily: "This is good, if you want to make the country survive in two, compete for the nations, the first is to establish people, and then people will do everything, early childhood education is the top priority, do you need me to do something?"
Cheng Nuo and so on
That's the sentence: "I talked about paper and pen before, I think Brother Yu Cai can give full play to your personal talents to teach children writing and art, and it is really hard to find someone who can surpass you in this regard."
Writing-wise, this goes without saying.
As early as the year before last, that is, in 1915, Brother Xun was designated by the Ministry of Education as a member of the Popular Education Research Association, and later served as the director of the Popular Education Research Association.
As for the arts, the most typical is the emblem of Peking University, which has been used to this day and can be called a classic. During this period, Lu Xun published his own anthologies, and the covers were designed and produced by him himself.
In 1928, he personally designed the covers of the books, including his works "Legends of the Tang and Song Dynasties", "Morning Flowers and Sunset", and "The Collection of Collected Works", translated as Itagaki Takaho's "Treatise on the Tide of Modern Art History", "Little John" by Nozomi Oi, and "Thoughts, Landscapes, and People" by Yusuke Tsurumi.
Originally, Lu Xun just thought about it, lack of money to donate some money, lack of materials to help prepare some materials, but he didn't expect the other party to go directly to the school to serve as a teacher, the progress was too big, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
"Zhiyuan, it's not that I don't agree to you, but now in addition to my own job in the Ministry of Education, I am also working as an editor of "New Youth", and I am busy writing articles in the middle, and then going to school to teach children, and my energy and time are not allowed, in my opinion, I am misleading people's children." ….
Cheng Nuo shook his head and smiled: "You don't need to be full-time, as long as you teach one class a week, you can face the teachers and students of the whole school in the form of a speech, and you don't need to run class by class."
Rao is like this, Lu Xun is still a little hesitant: "Let me think about it."
Cheng Nuo continued: "Cai Gong once said that aesthetic educators apply aesthetic theories to education, and those who aim to cultivate feelings. In my opinion, aesthetic education can not only improve moral sentiments, but also promote the healthy development of intellectual and physical strength, and cultivate imagination and creativity, which cannot be covered by moral purposes.
For children of this age, aesthetic education is the best means to shape their outlook on life, values and values, and we must not only teach them knowledge, but also teach these fatherless children how to become useful people in society. In terms of aesthetic education, Brother Yucai's ability is far higher than others."
Cheng Nuo said the latter sentence purposefully, Lu Xun was appointed by the Ministry of Education as a servant earlier, and then he was appointed as the head of the first section of the Department of Social Education, in charge
Museums, libraries, art galleries, art exhibitions, arts, music, drama, popular education, lectures and antiquities, etc.
And these things are basically closely related to aesthetic education.
moved out of Cai Yuanpei because he advocated aesthetic education when he was the Minister of Education, and Lu Xun also agreed with his education ideas. Lu Xun went to Beijing to give a lecture on "A Brief Theory of Fine Arts" at the "Summer Seminar" and published the "Opinion on the Proposed Dissemination of Fine Arts", which was actually to implement Cai Yuanpei's ideas.
This year, 1917 was the most intensive year of correspondence between Lu Xun and Cai Yuanpei, the two had a close relationship and were fellow villagers, so it made no sense for Lu Xun to refute Cai Yuanpei's ideas.
As Cheng Nuo expected, after Lu Xun heard Cai Yuanpei's words, his face was a little moved.
"This is a big deal, I have to be responsible for the children, it's not as simple as I swatting ink in the newspaper, and I can solve it by changing my pen name when I encounter trouble, even if Cai Gong invites me, I have to think about it.
In this way, isn't your school not built, and when it is built, after the formal teaching, I will first go to the experimental lesson to see, if it is successful, we will succeed, if not, we will not succeed."
