To be entrusted by others is to be loyal to others.
Since he agreed to Li Zhijie, Xu He would naturally not delay even a day.
After settling down, Xu He took Li Sikui to the study.
After sitting down, Xu He said: "Junior brother just asked me, Sikong, in front of the teacher to test who I am. It seems that I have read a lot. How many books have I read now?"
Li Sikui sat on the chair in the study room, his legs dangling, and he said casually: "I have finished reading the Three Hundred Thousand, Four Books, "The Book of Filial Piety" and "The Primary School", as well as my father's collection of books at home. I can read whatever I have! Too many to count!”
Xu He was secretly stunned. The teacher said that his son was only seven years old and had not even gone to elementary school yet. His wife only taught him how to read on weekdays, but this boy actually read so many books. It is estimated that children could not read as well as this boy. More.
After thinking about it, Xu He asked Li Sikui a few questions and found out that this kid was indeed smart, but he also had problems with reading.
Li Sikui's problem was that he was too smart. He read without any structure. He read a hammer here and a stick here and there. He read a lot but not systematically.
The ancients also paid attention to step-by-step study and scholarship. The sages taught: "First read the Annotations of the Four Books, the Classic of Filial Piety, and the Primary School, and then read the Annotations of the Five Classics, Zhou Rites, Rituals, and Three Biographies. ", "Guoyu", "Xingli", "Selected Works", "Collected Works of Eight Scholars", "Authentic Articles"!"
During this period, with the help of historical biographies, anthologies and other books, we can understand the time, connect the historical figures in them, and understand the background of historical events.
Only in this way can you read things.
Although Li Sikui was smart, Li Zhijie was away from home and had no time to teach him. He only had his mother at home on weekdays.
Although Li Zhijie's wife was also a well-educated and well-educated lady, women did not need to take scientific examinations, and they did not understand many things. This caused Li Sikui's problem of mixed knowledge.
Although the teacher only entrusted his son to Xu He for a few days, since Xu He agreed to help, he had to provide something.
After thinking about it and looking at the careless little guy, Xu He decided that studying was the next best thing, and changing this guy's attitude towards reading was the top priority right now.
Otherwise, this kid will show off his cleverness and get twice the result with half the effort.
So Xu He made a curriculum in front of Li Sikui.
When Li Sikui first saw Xu He writing and drawing on paper, he had no idea what Xu He was doing. When he walked around the table, he discovered that Xu He had written "Summer Camp Daily Plan" on the header.
Li Sikui was dumbfounded, what the hell is this?
"Teacher, senior brother, what is summer camp? Why does it sound weird?"
Xu He explained with a smile on his lips: "The so-called summer camp is actually Summer camp. During this time, we can read, exercise, and learn how to survive. Because it is summer, it is called summer camp. "
"What? What silly card shop?" Li Sikui was confused! He found that his senior brother often said some incomprehensible words.
Xu He smiled and said: "This is not important. What is important is, take a look at the arrangement of this summer camp. Do you like it?"
Li Sikui picked up the watch and read it from top to bottom.
[At the quarter of the hour] I got up, washed up, and jogged for two miles by the Slender West Lake with my senior brother!
[Chen Shi San Qi] Have breakfast
[At the moment of Si Shi] I read "Commentary on the Four Books" for half an hour!
【Noon】Eat lunch and take a nap until midnight!
…
[Youshi Moment] Boating and fishing in the middle of the lake
…
What the hell is this? Li Sikui was confused.
Trot two miles?
This is not something a polite person would do, like a fool, under the bright sun...
Also, what the hell are boating and fishing?
My mother kept telling her at home that her children should stay away from water. This was a sign of filial piety!
Is this senior brother crazy?
Not only go to the water's edge, but also go boating to the middle of the lake to fish?
The most confusing thing for Li Sikui is that his father asked Xu He to lead him to study. Xu He only studied for half an hour every day, and otherwise either ate, slept or played.
I couldn't even imagine this kind of life before, although...it seems...this kind of life is very painful.
but……
Xu He did not explain, but directly called Ding Ze, asking him to help hire a larger boat, and then buy an old goose.
After lunch, Ding Ze led an old boatman back.
Seeing the presence of an outsider, Li Sikui suddenly had a straight face, pretending to be a child of an official, with a serious smile.
When the old boatman saw Xu He, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, calling him Master Xiucai.
Xu He helped him up and said gently: "Old man, I want to hire your boat for a few days. Don't worry about the money. I will give you more and not less! Every day, you only need to drive the boat and lead us to find it in the evening. Just a good place for fishing, we’ll come back as soon as we can catch some fish!”
The old boatman thought that there was such a good thing. He could just sail out for an hour every day and earn back his money in one day, so he nodded repeatedly.
After agreeing to start today, the old boatman resigned.
Xu He called Juan'er and asked her to get two needles and thread. He also asked Ding Ze to pull out a tube hair from the old goose.
Li Sikui asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
Xu He smiled and said nothing, heated the needle red in front of Li Sikui, and then bent the needle into a fishhook shape.
Where has Li Sikui seen this new thing?
Seeing this scene, his eyes lit up: "Are you making a fishhook?"
Xu He nodded, and then cut the goose feather tube into small pieces and threaded them on the cotton thread, and then tied the cotton thread to the hook. The simplest fishing rig was completed.
Xu He took Li Sikui to pick two green bamboos from the bamboo bushes in the backyard, chopped them with a machete, tied the fishing rig, and then said to Li Sikui: "We will use these two poles to go fishing today, and the fishy dinner will be delicious." It’s all up to us!”
Li Sikui was just a child after all. When he heard that the responsibility was so great, his eyes suddenly gleamed with excitement.
When it came to Shenshi, Xu He took Li Sikui to a shady place behind the house. After digging up the ground, he found some earthworms.
At first, Li Sikui didn't dare to catch these earthworms, but with Xu He's encouragement, he finally became so excited that he caught more than ten earthworms.
I went back to get sesame oil and rice bran, and the fishing trip was finally ready to end.
After getting ready, the whole family sat excitedly in the front yard waiting for the old boatman to pick them up. Brother Ding Ze and Juaner were so excited when they saw Xu He, who usually looked like a scholar, that they all secretly laughed.
Finally, the old boatman arrived. Xu He picked up the two straw hats he had prepared, then put one on himself, and put the other on Li Sikui's head. The two of them were carrying fishing rods and fishing baskets, looking majestic. He walked towards the river like a soldier on an expedition!
Naturally, Ding Ze had to follow. After all, safety was paramount. With Xu He, the old boatman and Ding Ze who knew how to swim, it would be no big deal even if a little kid fell into the water.
