"Dean." Mr. Feng pulled Minghua to find Dean Fan and bowed to him first.
Dean Fan nodded slowly, "Why are you here, and you're bringing Minghua with you."
"Dean, Minghua is a very smart child. I taught her how to read and she remembered everything after just one lesson."
"Mr. Xiao taught me, right?" His eyes fell on Minghua, and he changed the subject and said, "Teach me well. How many words can you recognize at the age of five and a half? Be careful and don't waste a good seedling."
"I understand, I will teach you well."
"Take her there. New students will be admitted in a few days, and some of you will be busy."
Mr. Feng's attitude toward Minghua was somewhat serious, and he even followed Minghua's pace when teaching. After half a day, she could read three hundred thousand, hundreds of surnames, and even a thousand-character essay.
As for the explanation, if you can remember it after saying it once, it’s impossible that you can’t memorize it.
After accepting a treasured student, Mr. Feng almost smiled in his eyes; what she admired most was that no matter how much she praised or expressed her satisfaction, she remained unmoved. She learned what she should learn. Ask.
When a student receives one, the teacher will be proud for the rest of his life.
Minghua was young, so she spent the next few days with Mr. Feng. After three days, she was able to read on her own and ask Mr. Feng if she didn't understand something. Even though she has two lifetimes of memories, she still scratches her head when faced with classical Chinese texts!
"Sister." On Mu Xiu's day, Xiao Hongping and Xiao Hongkang were waiting a hundred meters away from the Women's Academy. When they saw Minghua coming out, Xiao Hongping excitedly directed his hands and ran towards her quickly.
Xiao Hongkang smiled reservedly and followed behind calmly.
"Little sister, are you used to being in the academy? Do you miss your parents? Do you cry?"
Minghua: If eldest brother, a reserved young man, had not teased her, she would have believed that he was a serious young man.
"Big brother and second brother, I didn't cry, but I'm so good. My husband praised me. I know a lot of words, and I can speak three hundred thousand." She smiled sweetly, with a sweet voice that made people feel soft.
Xiao Hongkang's eyes paused slightly, "Really? That little girl is quite powerful, much more powerful than the big brother."
I met three hundred thousand people in six days of school, which is really impressive.
Xiao Hongping looked at his sister with scorn, "Sister, how can you learn so fast? I only know a few dozen words."
"You can't compare with your sister." Xiao Hongkang smiled heartily, "Father knows about you. Dean Fan went to ask his father if he had taught you. Father didn't answer clearly, thinking that you were young and could Just cover up one or two things."
"Oh." Minghua was happy about this. She wanted to be a smart student; but being praised as a child prodigy by her husband was too much, so that was fine.
This makes sense, why didn't the husband say that she was a child prodigy again?
"Eldest brother, second brother, where is dad?"
Xiao Hongping curled his lips and said unhappily: "Brother and I are in front of you, but you still think about dad."
"I haven't seen my eldest and second brothers and my parents for many days. I missed you. Now that I have seen my eldest and second brothers, of course I miss my dad." Minghua said it matter-of-factly, imitating the expression that a child should have.
"That's too much." Xiao Hongping muttered.
Xiao Hongkang glanced at him, bent down and picked up his sister. The ten-year-old boy was holding the five-year-old baby. It was a bit difficult, but it was not that he couldn't hold it. After all, he was a child who grew up in the country. There is strength.
The Xiao family is not a family that only studies, and they also let their children work in the fields; it's just that fewer people study, otherwise Xiao Zhengning would not be tall and tall.
"Brother, don't hug me. I can leave."
"Okay, I can leave." Xiao Hongkang replied, but did not let her go. He hugged her and led Xiao Hongping to meet Xiao Zhengning at the entrance of the academy, "Dad, we are out."
Xiao Zhengning took Minghua, ignored his two sons, and asked his daughter in a soft voice with a smile, "Is it okay in the academy? Are you a bad sir? Do you miss your parents?"
"It's okay. I have a full meal every day. My husband was very serious at first, but then he became less serious and became quite gentle to me. I miss my parents and grandparents. I haven't seen you for many days, and my father has not seen you either." Go to the academy to see me."
Xiao Zhengning listened happily to his little daughter's complaints. He guided his daughter along the way to find out whether she was doing well in the academy. His daughter was born smart and was much better than his two sons. Perhaps, his wish could be fulfilled in the academy. It may not come true for my daughter.
"In the academy, you must listen to your teacher. How many students are there in your class?"
"There are five of them. They are all older than me and they don't play with me. I don't play with them either. I read by myself." The five of them all come from well-off families in the county. They sent their daughters here to study as a pretense. , it’s true to take the opportunity to make connections.
Unfortunately, the boys' school and the girls' school are separated, which makes it difficult for the girls who come to make connections.
So few people?
Xiao Zhengning shook his head and sighed. People haven't realized that girls being able to study is a way out for families and poor families. However, the tuition fees in county schools are indeed a bit expensive, and many families are reluctant to send their daughters to county schools.
The county school girls' school failed to produce results, and no one followed its example. Apart from the county school, there was no other girls' school.
"Sanya, come on, study hard and don't waste your talent; your husband values you very much and has praised you many times to the dean. The dean is now very impressed with you. As long as you study hard, your future will be bright. Difference."
"good."
There was no bullock cart going back to the village on the way, so they had no choice but to walk back. It was already noon when they got home, and the family sat together for a meal. Xiao Zhengning sat down with Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao to talk. The main point is how promising and smart Sanya is. It's a good thing that Sanya was sent to the county school, otherwise her good brain would have been wasted, and so on.
Why couldn't Old Mrs. Xiao hear that her son made her feel at ease? If she stubbornly refused to let Sanya study, it would be a waste of a good seed. Although she wanted to beat her son at the moment, she was glad that the little boy The granddaughter was sent to the county school.
"Our family's third Ya is so smart, I don't know what Daya and Erya's brains are like; Daya is an honest child, and Erya is very clever. If only Erya could study more and be sensible, and stop his evil ideas, I would be so grateful. .”
The smile on Xiao Zhengning's lips froze, "Mom, don't even think about it. Are your second brother and sister willing to give money to this girl to study?"
It's not that he looks down on his younger brother, it's that he really dislikes his two daughters.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Xiao glared at her son, but that look had no power.
Everyone is very clear-sighted, but the second child is really short-sighted and does not have the long-term vision of the boss. It can be seen from Sanya's case that the boss's decision was not missed.
Mr. Xiao smiled and said: "I will talk to the second son. He has no son now. It is okay to send a daughter to study. It is also the same to recruit a son-in-law after she is educated. It does not necessarily have to be a son."
"That's what dad said." Xiao Zhengning hurriedly said that he also meant the same thing.
The daughter who has left the family to find a son-in-law at home is not afraid that no one will take care of her when she is old, or that no one will break the pot when she dies. Instead of looking forward to the unknown, it is better to cultivate the children she already has.
