Brother Hao blushed and said, "Brother Guo, every time we come to listen to you teach us, you have to get us food, how embarrassing is this." Speaking of which, you are our master, we should give you a bundle, the master of the city school teaches, and you have to pay one tael of silver a year and several pieces of pork. Brother Guo is upside down here, let us eat and drink for nothing every day, we really don't have the face to come to Brother Guo's house again. ”

Guo Dalu looked at the children of Houlong Village in tattered clothes, although since he arrived in Houlong Village, he has improved the method of watering kudzu, taught the villagers the method of accumulating fertilizer, built a straw paper workshop, and started a family farming industry, but the lives of the villagers have not improved immediately, and it takes a lot of time to see the benefits of many things done now, so the villagers, including the children, are still hungry and wearing rags.

Sometimes the children crowded into the room to listen to the lessons, and Guo Dalu could hear their stomachs growling with hunger, but none of the children complained bitterly, and at most they drank a bowl of cold water to satisfy their hunger.

In the face of these simple children, Guo Dalu did not hesitate to take out all the food he collected through the garbage can, especially the washed and dried white rice, all of which he took out to boil rice porridge, and there were no pickles to eat.

Guo Dalu personally brought a bowl of porridge to Brother Hao, and joked: "Since you recognize me as a teacher, the division commander has a life, you must obey it, come, drink this bowl of porridge, you know, this hungry stomach will affect the blood supply to the brain, brain nutrition is insufficient, low blood sugar, you can't learn knowledge well, I said that after half a day's class, it will all be in vain, so if you want to listen to my class, you must eat your stomach first." ”

Guo Dalu was messy about blood supply, nutrition, and low blood sugar, and the children were confused when they heard it, but they knew that Brother Guo was for their good, and they drank the porridge with a stream in their mouths, and swore in their hearts that if they didn't listen to Brother Guo's class well and learn their skills well, it was really a conscience for the dog to eat.

Guo Dalu and the other children drank porridge and cleaned up the bowls and pots, and then one person sent a stack of Xuelang paper, a pencil, and coughed: "Today, let's learn the three-character classic and pinyin, well, everyone has got my handwritten "three-character classic", some strokes of the words on it are a little different from the words in the notice posted in the official yamen, I call this word simplified, which can be more convenient for everyone to learn." ”

Brother Hao has some literary background, and he recognizes the words in the "Three Character Classic", the simplified Chinese characters that Guo Dalu said, but he has seen them before, and then said: "Brother Guo, this word - I recognize this simplified Chinese character, in fact, some shops in the county also use such words, and everyone calls them vulgar characters." ”

Guo Dalu waved his hand at Brother Hao: "When you talk in class in the future, remember to raise your hand first, and then stand up and ask questions." Simplified Chinese characters, vulgar characters, as long as it is convenient to write is a good word, when the ancients first invented the word, it was more complex and difficult to write, and some were still engraved on the animal bone and turtle shell, which is the continuous evolution of later generations, so that the word becomes more and more simple, more and more convenient to write, circulate, and teach. I will not only teach you simplified characters, but also teach pinyin in the future, and even overseas Western characters, as long as you have the heart to learn, I have knowledge in my belly to teach you. ”

Listening to Guo Dalu's words, the children's little faces were red with excitement, these days, it is impossible for children from poor families to receive a serious education, and it is even more difficult to meet a good teacher who has gone to school through the past and the present, but now Guo Dalu actually said that even overseas knowledge can teach them, where is not excited to lose his temper - The children don't think Guo Dalu is bragging, in their opinion, there is a magical old man in the mountain behind Guo Dalu, this old man in the mountain can come and go freely in Fengshen Mountain, he must be a fairy-like figure, learn through the past and the present, know at home and abroad, nine times out of ten still know 500 years ago, and 500 years later.

The children responded in unison, listened carefully to Guo Dalu's lecture, and for a while, the sound of reading came from the room, which was a rare scene in Houlong Mountain Village.

Unconsciously, night fell, the room lit a torch, although the children in Guo Dalu cramming education, a little tired, but all of them are very excited, practicing each other the new pinyin alphabet, "Three Character Classic", suddenly, Brother Hao shouted: "Who is outside the window?!" With a hand raised, a stone that he carried with him had flown out of his hand, breaking the paste window paper, and flew into the dark night!

The stone in Brother Hao'er's hand broke out of the window, and there was a low cry outside, and the sound of "ah" came into the room, and the children jumped up all of a sudden, and I don't know who shouted: "It's not good!

Stealing teachers to learn art is the most despicable behavior on the rivers and lakes, if it is discovered, it will be a waste of hard work, and even your life will be lost.

Several older children rushed to the door on the spot, gearing up, trying to catch the thief and let him eat a meal, but they heard Guo Dalu crying and laughing and stopped them: "What are you messing about, don't scare the people outside." He glared at Brother Hao again: "What are you throwing around? How can you smash the flowers and plants and the children? Go and bring the people outside in to see if they are injured." ”

Brother Hao stuck out his tongue, called the stupid big man, and went out together, Brother Hao held a torch in his hand, and as soon as he went out, he saw a figure squatting outside the window, stroking his forehead and gasping for air, he was a little puzzled, and felt that the figure was a little familiar, at this time, the stupid big man next to him shouted: "Isn't this a second girl? Why are you here? Alas, no, you have a big bag on your forehead." ”

Brother Hao held the torch high just for a photo, and stayed on the spot, only to see the person squatting on the ground just raised his head, and the jumping fire shone on her face, who is not her second sister?

I saw a big bag high and swollen on the second girl's forehead, with black green, and some bloodshots, so painful that tears oozed out of the corners of her eyes.

The second girl saw Brother Hao and the stupid big man come out, caught herself red-handed, her face was flushed with shame, she didn't care about the swelling and pain on her forehead, she stood up and was about to run, but there was a numbness under her feet, sigh, and she fell to the ground again, but she squatted under the window for a long time to eavesdrop, and her legs were numb.

The window creaked open, and Guo Dalu leaned out: "What's the matter-hey, isn't this the second girl? Brother Hao, look at what you did well, smashed your sister into a big bag." Hurry up, help the second girl in, go to the well to get a basin of cold water, and apply a compress to the swollen bag. ”
