Yu Qikun stroked his beard, nodded, and said with a smile: "You are so lucky, you can go to night school."
"What is night school?" Liu Yong rubbed his forehead and asked in confusion.
Yu Qikun circled around him a few times and did not answer him directly. Instead, he looked at him and asked, "How many years have you been in school?"
"This little guy has only been to school for one or two years." Liu Yong replied sheepishly.
Yu Qikun looked at him thoughtfully and asked kindly: "Isn't this your original intention? Is it because your family background doesn't allow it?"
Liu Yong felt ashamed, cupped his hands, and lowered his head.
"To be a foreman here, the general requirement is to study for about ten years." Yu Qikun stared at him and said.
Liu Yong couldn't help being surprised and felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he still said: "The villain has limited abilities and is willing to resign from the position of foreman."
"That's not necessary." Yu Qikun patted his shoulder gently and comforted him.
Liu Yong shook his head, not understanding what Liu Yong said, and asked: "Why not let the villain resign?"
"So I asked you to go to night school to study." Yu Qikun patted him on the shoulder and explained, "Night school is a school that Zhaojiazhuang runs specifically for workshops after work. Since classes are usually held at night, it is called night school. study."
What else can I study at night? Liu Yong didn't believe it at all.
But he still kept these words in mind and wandered around after get off work.
Next to the public house, there is a room with the name "Night Study", which I expected.
When he came in, he saw that the place was brightly lit, and there were already more than twenty students of various sizes sitting inside.
He took a closer look and saw that most of them were foremen, as well as ordinary craftsmen who had the courage to come here to study, including Chen Laoshi's two daughters.
Liu Yong nodded to Chen Laoshi's two daughters as a greeting, and then sat down.
Seeing that the master looked about to be in his early twenties, everyone including Liu Yong couldn't help but wonder why he was so much younger than himself.
"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Derong, and I am your wife." This person was not polite, which made Liu Yong and others feel bad.
Yang Derong looked at everyone, coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Many of you here are older than Yu, and Yu admits this."
Liu Yong and a foreman named Zhang Dashan looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. They didn't expect you to be self-aware.
"Younger is not what makes you ambitious." These words made Liu Yong, Zhang Dashan and others blush. They were also foremen, big and small, but they didn't expect to be taught a lesson by a man who was ten years younger than them.
Yang Derong caught everyone's expressions in his eyes and continued: "I know we don't like this sentence. Zhao Guanren is younger, probably about the same age as many of the nephews here. But what Zhao Guanren has done is far beyond our reach."
At this point, Yang Derong asked: "Did you hear that?"
"I heard it," everyone replied sparsely.
Yang Derong banged the table with his ruler and said sternly: "Louder and neater, I didn't hear clearly."
Everyone had to answer loudly and neatly.
"Not bad, you are energetic. Please open the book and I will start teaching." Yang Derong nodded.
Liu Yong, Zhang Dashan and others opened the book and were dumbfounded.
This is not the "Thousand-Character Essay" "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive", but he has never seen the Tadpole Essay.
These tadpole essays seem to be a combination of bows and arrows. Isn’t it possible to read bows and arrows?
Yang Derong caught everyone's expressions in his eyes, looked at Liu Yong and said: "This book is different from yours, because it used to use Qie Yin. Zili (Liu Yong's character), tell me how you use Qie Yin to read."
Liu Yong couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect this young master to directly mention his name.
"Learning with Qieyin must be based on knowing a certain number of characters. The more words you know, the richer your experience will be, the more accurate the Qieyin will be." Liu Yong thought for a while and expressed his views on Qieyin. "Students are just because of Qieyin." The pronunciation is not accurate, so I don’t know much about words.”
"Zi Li sat down and said it right. You must have a lot of characters to accurately cut the sound." Yang Derong paused for a moment and continued, "To be able to cut the sound more accurately, you must at least know It’s over a thousand words, and there may still be errors.”
The literate students, including Liu Yong and Zhang Dashan, nodded. Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang, who were illiterate, had no choice but to nod along.
"Since there are difficulties in cutting the yin, Professor Yu does not need to cut the yin, but another way of literacy, pinyin." Yang Derong explained to the students below.
Liu Yong, Zhang Dashan and others looked at each other, not knowing how to pinyin at all, so they could only listen to Yang Derong in confusion.
Yang Derong took in the expressions of everyone in the audience and continued: "The advantage of Pinyin is that as long as you know these twenty-six Pinyin, any other words can be spelled out through Pinyin, so you don't have to cut back and forth with difficulty."
Liu Yong and Zhang Dashan looked at each other with incredible looks in their eyes, not believing it at all.
Seeing the utter disbelief on the students' faces below, Yang Derong said: "Not only does it not have to be difficult, but the speed of literacy can be increased by more than five times, or even ten times."
"Master, the students haven't learned Pinyin yet. Master Yanyan said that the Chinese Pinyin is five times faster than the Chinese Pinyin. The students didn't believe it at all." After hearing Yang Derong's constant bragging on the stage, a student raised his hand and said.
He didn't want to come at first, but when he heard that the workshop held night classes, he was very curious and wanted to come and see what happened.
At this time, seeing Yan Yan keep talking loudly, he could no longer resist refuting.
"Who are you and how many years have you been studying?" Yang Derong asked with a frown when he saw a thorny head jumping out.
Yu Wenming glanced at all the students triumphantly, with a smile on his face: "Student Ziguang (Yu Wenming's character), studied for ten years."
"Yes, after studying for ten years, you are the tallest among them all," Yang Derong suddenly asked after nodding in praise. "Then how many words do you know?"
Yu Wenming was feeling proud for a while, but when he heard the next sentence, he didn't expect Yang Derong to suddenly raise the question of literacy.
"Students can know five thousand words." He thought for a while, gave Yang Derong a provocative look, and said.
In fact, he didn't know how many words he knew, but in order to stump Yang Derong, he quoted a large number.
Hearing that he could read 5,000 characters, Liu Yong and Zhang Dashan, who could read less than 300 words, couldn't help but gasped and looked at him with admiration.
Yu Wenming's face was full of smiles, and he felt extremely satisfied.
"Okay, if you know 5,000 characters in ten years, then you can know 500 pinyin words in one year." Yang Derong answered in a tone full of doubt.
"Master, you can use your empty words to give examples." Yu Wenming seized on Yang Derong's words as a handle.
"Of course, but there is one condition, that is, you must study here for more than two hours, preferably three hours. There is insufficient time, so this cannot be guaranteed." Yang Derong looked at Yu Wenming and said his condition, "You know Waiting to study, that means studying all day long.”
Yu Wenming was a little embarrassed when he heard this. They work for at least four hours, and sometimes even five hours overtime.
Suddenly he had an idea. He looked at Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang and realized.
"Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang, you two attend classes for four hours every day, and you will attend classes here the rest of the time." Yu Wenming is the foreman of the last section, so he still has this power.
While Yu Wenming looked at Yang Derong, Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang, he couldn't help feeling proud.
The two little girls are only thirteen years old. In terms of experience and strength, they have little influence on his work section.
It is virtue for a woman to have no talent. Unlike a man who devotes himself to studying and still has hope, he can take the imperial examination.
The two of them are already thirteen and almost at the age of getting married, so they don't want to study.
The key thing is that the two of them are not literate at all. Without the foundation of Tintin'er, literacy is more difficult than ordinary people.
Liu Yong was watching Yu Wenming's every move, but he didn't expect that he would actually introduce two young ladies with no basic skills.
It's okay if they don't have any foundation. The key is that the two of them are almost at the age of getting married. What if they get married that day?
Zhang Dashan saw that Yu Wenming and Yang Derong were playing opposite each other, and he also considered this issue.
Liu Yong and Zhang Dashan were secretly amused. Since you, my master, have spoken such big words, and the other party has also made a move, you must accept this move.
If Yang Derong doesn't accept the offer, the students will not force him to leave, and he will have no face to stay.
The two people didn't dare to speak, they just exchanged glances with their eyes to see how Yang Derong would respond.
Yang Derong nodded, looked at Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang, and said, "Yes, but first of all, I promise not to talk about marriage with them within a year, otherwise it will affect their studies."
Seeing that Yang Derong actually accepted the offer, all the students immediately became interested.
But the problem is, Chen Laoshi and his wife are not here, no one can guarantee it.
Liu Yong thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "Master, the student has a good relationship with Chen Laoshi. If you try to persuade him, there shouldn't be any big problem."
Everyone looked at Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang together. The two young ladies were extremely shy.
They both lowered their heads and went down, not daring to raise their heads at all, and kept rubbing the corners of their clothes nervously.
They were staying in the workshop with nothing to do, so they came in out of curiosity to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, they became the center of attention.
From an inconspicuous character that no one paid attention to, he turned into the protagonist.
Both of them were worried and didn't know what to do?
Yang Derong never expected to place all his hopes on the two young ladies. Now it seems that the two young ladies are not willing to accept the offer at all.
Yu Wenming couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the actions of the two young ladies. It seemed that the master's students were not willing to study at all.
Yu Wenming was happy, but Yang Derong was anxious.
He patted the ruler on the stage, looked at the two young ladies and asked, "Please raise your head."
After Yang Derong's repeated persuasion, the two young ladies finally slowly raised their heads.
"Have you ever heard of Li Qingzhao?" Yang Derong asked softly. He was afraid of scaring the two of them.
