Ji Xiaoduo answered a few more questions about regular teaching before he began to look at the three carpenters who beat people, "Recently, our ancient master who taught carpentry was beaten by someone. ”

Parents suddenly became excited, "What?"

"What's going on?"

Some people who are also active immediately guessed: "It must be a peer, right? I'm afraid that so many children will learn and go out to grab their jobs." ”

The three carpenters who beat people lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.

Ji Xiaoduo didn't point them out, but said: "Everyone just saw that our current interest class is actually just cultivating children's interests in various aspects, rather than directly letting them bury their heads in hard work." Everyone must have seen people who were sent by their parents to learn something, but couldn't learn anything, it's not stupid, it's just not suitable. After all, everyone's talents and hobbies are different, and the saints all say that you should teach students according to their aptitude. When the children choose their own interests, the teachers are also observing them and selecting disciples who can better inherit their skills. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the children can learn the skills to the greatest extent and the skills of the craftsmen are not lost, which is a win-win situation. ”

"Yes, yes," someone below responded, "My father used to want me to learn to be a craftsman, but I was kicked out by my master after studying for half a year, and my hands were full of blood." Now fishing for a living, it's okay. ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Ji Xiaoduo said again: "Actually, I also understand, there are always some people who think that this cake is so big, and if there is one more person, the others will not be full." But you guys are wrong. The solution to this problem is not to kill the newcomer, but to work together to make this pie bigger, to make the second and third, so that everyone can be fed. ”

There was a carpenter at the bottom who snorted softly, "Say it lightly." ”

"Since I said it in front of so many people, I naturally have the confidence to do it. ”

Ji Xiaoduo smiled, beckoned, and asked people to take out something.

It's a new piece from her lab, a children's pedal tricycle.

The handlebar saddle wheels are all wooden, but the gear shafts are still metal. Ji Xiaoduo drew detailed drawings, and a group of craftsmen spent a lot of time and energy studying and transforming before this small car could really be ridden.

Just looking at the weird-looking car, everyone didn't think anything about it, until Ji Xiaoduo called a child to demonstrate, and then began to scream.

"What is this?"

"You can run like this?"

"It's pretty fast. ”

"It's amazing. ”

"That's just the case with the wooden ox and the horse, right?"

"Can adults use it?"

The middle-aged carpenter who had watched the class carefully before arched his hand to Ji Xiaoduo and said, "Can you let me take a closer look at this thing?"

Ji Xiaoduo nodded, "Just watch." ”

She spoke, and several carpenters ran over, turning back and forth to take a closer look at the cart.

Someone reminded Ji Xiaoduo again: "Ji Niangzi, beware of someone stealing and copying!"

Ji Xiaoduo smiled and didn't speak, the middle-aged carpenter himself said, "I can't do it." ”

Indeed, this thing looks simple, but it also involves all kinds of physical knowledge, and if you don't understand the principle, don't say that you look at it this way, even if you give them one, they can't imitate it.

Ji Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Then do you think there is a market for this thing? What about further research and development that can be used by adults? What about more similar things? Can you feed more carpenters?"

The middle-aged carpenter was silent for a while, and then said, "This is not something that can be done by carpenters alone. ”

"Yes. Ji Xiaoduo nodded and admitted, "I proposed the original idea of this thing, but I don't have the technology, so I definitely can't make it on my own." The carpentry part was designed by Master Gu, the belt used for transmission was made by Master Xiao, a leather craftsman, and the gear was made by Master Hu, a blacksmith...... Without the efforts of either one, this bike would not have been possible. Sharing, communication and cooperation can promote development and innovation. Resting on your laurels and cherishing yourself will only keep you where you are forever and unable to progress. ”

The middle-aged carpenter was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Can I come to school with you?"

Ji Xiaoduo was a little surprised, and was slightly stunned for a moment, but someone among the carpenters exclaimed, "Senior Brother Yuan, what are you thinking?"

"Are you crazy?"

They are here because they beat the teacher of this school, and now they don't know how Ji Xiaoduo wants to hold this accountable, how can they want to go to school here instead?

You're nearly half a hundred years old, what else do you want to go to school?

The middle-aged carpenter said, "I'm serious." ”

Others may not have paid attention, thinking that the carpentry class just now was just playing, but he could see clearly: those wooden blocks with holes and cards are the simplest tenons, and how to stack them is to test the stability of the structure...... These are the most basic things in carpentry.

It's just that he realized that this school has been teaching students in fun since the beginning of his life.

He actually knew the carpenter who had just taken the class and the old man who was beaten, and he was not a clever carpenter at all, let alone came up with this teaching method.

It's all because of this school, because of the woman in front of me.

He wanted to come here.

Not only do I want to learn something, but I also want to see how far she can go in so-called development and innovation.

But Ji Xiaoduo hadn't spoken yet, he had been dragged by the carpenter who came with him.

"Calm down!"

"That's it, senior brother, think it through. You come to school, what about your sister-in-law and nephews?"

The middle-aged carpenter originally wanted to persevere, but when he heard someone mention his wife and children, he calmed down. He was indeed a little impulsive. Even if you want to come, you have to arrange your home first.

Ji Xiaoduo smiled and said, "In principle, we don't accept adults. However, I plan to open a night school for literacy at the right time, and if you are interested, you can pay attention to the notice at the entrance of our school. ”

Someone asked, "What is a literacy night school?"

Ji Xiaoduo explained to them what is "illiterate" and what is "literacy".

"Because adults are mostly responsible for the family's household and must work hard during the day, they only have half-hour classes every night and only teach simple literacy and arithmetic, which is called literacy night school. ”

"This is good!" someone shouted, "when is it going to open?" ”

"Not bad, indeed. People who can't read and write even have to write letters on their behalf, and I don't know how many jokes are made in the middle. ”

"Not really. ”

Someone said a few misunderstandings caused by illiterateness. The night school hasn't started yet, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Another woman who came to see her son writhed and asked, "Can a woman learn?"

"Yes. Why can't it?" Ji Xiaoduo hoped that the women could sprout this kind of curiosity on their own, and assured her, "When the time comes, men and women will be divided into classes, and they will not be in the same classroom, and there will be no suspicion of weathering." If you are still worried, you can also ask your husband and brother to accompany you to study. We set up this literacy class just to benefit the township, and we don't take a penny!"

The crowd applauded again.

Now so many people are illiterate, after all, is it not because school is too expensive?

Tuition, books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones are expensive, and reading can not take care of their livelihood, now there is a place to study at night after work, and they don't need money, how can they not be willing?

For a while, even the group of carpenters forgot that they had just stopped Senior Brother Yuan, and they began to agree with each other that they would come to learn together when the time came.

Ji Xiaoduo knew that in fact, among this group of people, there must still be some people with special intentions, but in the current happy atmosphere, it is impossible for them to jump out and say that it is not good.

That's it.

Anyway, it's impossible to do anything that everyone is happy with.

It's good that she's satisfied.

After sending all the visitors away, Ji Xiaoduo turned around and found that Zhao Mingxuan was standing on the playground, looking at the slogans with his hands in his hands.

Ji Xiaoduo was also used to him being elusive, so he only asked, "When did you come?"

"It's been a while. Zhao Mingxuan said, "I heard that you are going to have an open day, come and have a look." ”

"Oh. ”

Zhao Mingxuan withdrew his gaze from the slogan and said, "It's another ribbon-cutting, and it's open to the public...... Why are you so sensational? When these people go back and say, you're afraid that your students here will have to double again, right?"

Ji Xiaoduo glanced at him, "Is this called grandstanding? It's just legitimate marketing propaganda! ”

"I really don't understand. You lost money to open a school, and it can be said that you are raising people, but what is the matter with the night school? In the night class, the cost of only lamps and candles is not small, so what is the purpose of teaching those peddlers and pawns to read and write?"

No matter what he really thought, he didn't think it was profitable.

She didn't sign a deed, she didn't collect money, and she ran away after she finished her studies?

Can it really just be for the benefit of the township?

Ji Xiaoduo just wanted to roll her eyes at him again, is she the kind of mercenary person? But she didn't bother to argue with him, she only said: "What I said in front of the teacher is serious." There is a long way to go to eradicate illiteracy for all, and it is one that can be taught. ”

Thinking about what she said in front of Xu Mingjing that day, Zhao Mingxuan didn't dwell on this anymore, but just set his eyes on the pedal tricycle again, "Can this thing really be used by adults?"

"Yes, the craftsmen are developing it right now, but it can't be mass-produced for the time being. "After all, every part needs to be polished by hand.

"Can you be faster than a horse?" Zhao Mingxuan asked.

"No, you can't. ”

As soon as Ji Xiaoduo heard it, he knew that this person wanted to use it in the army again.

But a wooden pedal bike that wants to be faster than a horse?

Dream.

Let's wait for her to toss the steam engine out first.
