Yang Derong nodded, glanced at everyone, and asked, "Is there anyone who can memorize letters?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, "I don't know how to do it. Are these two little ladies fake?"
Not only him, but everyone else also found it incredible, and they all looked dumbfounded.
Jin Ming quietly said to Ji Lin: "It's impossible for these two little ladies to be able to memorize these tadpole essays."
"I don't believe this is true." Ji Lin thought for a while, shook his head, and said in a positive tone: "I have worked hard enough, but I can only recite half of it."
Jin Ming was embarrassed. He had been worried about Liu Yong these days and had no intention of reciting these. Except for Ah Know, he couldn't recite the rest.
While whispering to each other, the two of them also looked at other students in the class and found that there were many similar phenomena.
What's even more embarrassing for these people is that these two little ladies, who obviously don't know a single word, are the first in the class to memorize the alphabet. How can you let these big men step down?
Yang Derong caught everyone's expressions in his eyes, his expression remained calm, and he said calmly: "Aunt Chen, get up and recite it to my teacher."
Aunt Chen's face suddenly turned red. She never expected that the master would ask her to recite it on the spot, and her head suddenly dropped to her chest.
Yang Derong saw her extremely shy look and knew that she was very embarrassed.
Yang Derong encouraged Aunt Chen: "Hua Mulan was only fifteen years old when she joined the army. She is not much older than you."
Aunt Chen still lowered her head to her chest, showing no sign of raising her head.
"Aunt Chen, although Hua Mulan is two years older than you, she is far more dangerous than you," Yang Derong looked at her and said in a low tone, "Joining the army means tying your head to your waist and risking your life at all times. There is no guarantee. Maybe you are a living, breathing creature today, but a dead corpse tomorrow."
Aunt Chen's head moved slightly. Apart from herself, only Yang Derong could detect this movement because he kept staring at her.
"But Hua Mulan not only survived, but she also served in the army for ten years and was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a general." Yang Derong looked at Aunt Chen and said: "Hua Mulan can still survive in the face of life and death, can't you do it just by reciting it once? "
Aunt Chen hesitated for a few times and opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
"You are Master's proud disciple, and Master believes in you. Don't panic, just recite it slowly as usual." Yang Derong encouraged her patiently and gently.
Aunt Chen hesitated for a few times, then finally made a clear voice.
In full view of everyone, she started to recite slowly and incoherently, but later she became more and more proficient and recited it in one breath.
Aunt Chen sat down and Yang Derong asked Aunt Zhang to recite it.
With Aunt Chen at the beginning, she hesitated a few times, but ended up reciting it more fluently than Aunt Chen.
At this time, Yu Wenming had a bad feeling in his heart. In his opinion, these two young ladies were the most unlikely.
I never expected that they would be the first to memorize all the letters. They were young ladies who were already marryable.
No matter how many books you read, it will be of no use at all. Didn't I say that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue?
However, Yu Wenming still has a kind of luck, that is, the name of this tadpole is not true, and his literacy is extremely slow.
After all, some people only know about 300 people after studying for two or three years, and there are many of them.
But Jilin's idea was different from his, and he suddenly raised his hand.
After getting Yang Derong's consent, he raised a question that almost all the students in the class wanted to ask: "Master, when will literacy be taught?"
Yang Derong looked at him lightly and saw the expectant expression on his face, and the students below him almost had the same expression.
Yang Derong shook his head and said calmly: "Didn't I say that I'll wait until all of you can recite twenty-six letters?"
As soon as these words came out, all the students below were greatly disappointed, and the two young ladies almost cried.
"Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang can take the lead in literacy," Yang Derong looked at the two young ladies and said, "Because they have one hour more than you, so they have enough time."
The two little ladies first fell from heaven to hell, and now they rose from hell to heaven.
The two of them patted their chests lightly and almost cheered.
Other classmates, including Ji Lin, looked at the two young ladies with envy, with either a bitter smile or envy on their faces.
Mr. Chen is now smiling from his dreams. His three sons are all in school, and his two daughters have not only entered workshops, but also attended night schools. He and his wife have also entered workshops.
Chen Laoshi is indeed honest. Although the family has little money, it is managed tightly by his second wife, Chen Zhang.
Although the mother-in-law is older, she has nothing to do with her husband. After all, this is a combined family.
Secondly, the key is that there are too many mouths in the house, so Chen Zhang has to be optimistic about the first article.
How poor is Chen Laoshi's family? There was a time when he had the idea of selling his son or daughter.
Now, with four people working in the Zhaojiazhuang workshop, it is no longer a problem to feed more than ten mouths.
"Officer, we should treat you tomorrow." Hearing this, Chen Laoshi couldn't believe that the lady had ever thought of treating her.
Does the sun rise from the west? Chen Laoshi couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky. It was still rising from the east.
Seeing Chen Laoshi's dumbfounded look, Mrs. Chen Zhang pointed her finger at his forehead and said, "This time I entered the workshop and so many noble people helped me, why don't I thank you enough."
"But I haven't received my salary, so how can I have money to treat guests?" Chen Laoshi asked.
Mrs. Chen Zhang glared at him and asked, "Why are you so honest? Can't you tell the foreman?"
The workshop is still very user-friendly. You can take one day off every ten days, and you can also overdraw one month's salary in advance.
When it was time for the Chen family to entertain guests, he invited some of his relatives and friends and set up a banquet with four or five tables.
This was a thank you banquet, and he not only invited Liu Liang'an, the head of the village, but also Liu Yong and others from the workshop.
Chen Laoshi also invited Yu Qikun. Yu Qikun said that there was something going on at home. Although he didn't come, the gift was not lacking. Instead, he asked Liu Yong to send a piece of meat.
To Chen Laoshi's surprise, night school teacher Yang Derong also came.
The foreman Liu Yong and the headman Liu Liangan were okay, as they were fellow villagers after all, but Yang Derong was a teacher, a master of heaven and earth, and could be ranked at the top of the incense niche.
Chen Laoshi kept saluting Yang Derong, but could not find anything for the distinguished guest to sit on.
The thatched house and fence made him feel inferior in front of Yang Derong, a scholar.
Fortunately, after being nourished by the meat-based meals in the workshop and school cafeteria these past few days, the couple, their two daughters and three sons have become more or less rosy.
Otherwise, Chen Laoshi's family would be even more embarrassed by the dishonorable appearance they had in the past.
Not only did he have five older ones, but he also had five younger ones.
Because Chen Laoshi and his wife were working in the workshop, there was only the elderly mother-in-law Weng Weng at home.
There were so many of them that the two old ladies wanted to take care of them, but they had no time or energy to take care of them, so they had to tell them to be careful.
There is really no other way. The older one takes care of the younger ones, and they have to deal with mud all day long. Not only are their bodies covered with dirt, but their faces are also full of dirt.
When they heard that a wife came to the house, these children came out out of curiosity to see what this wife who had never been here looked like.
A toddler under the age of six wearing open pants with patches everywhere was carrying a two-year-old brother on his back, followed by a four-year-old brother.
This is not over yet. Next to her is a six-year-old girl who is also wearing patchwork clothes and holding her four-year-old sister.
Fortunately, their faces had just been wiped clean today and their clothes had just been changed into clean clothes, so the guests were not allowed to see their dirty side.
However, there were three three- and four-year-old children with their fingers in their mouths and drooling, looking curiously at this scholar in a robe who was obviously different from the country people.
They didn't dare to come out, but secretly hid behind their parents, showing half of their faces.
Yang Derong seemed not to notice. He took out bunches of candied haws from his bag and waved to the children, signaling them to come over.
While handing out the candied haws, he pinched the children's faces a few times and said in a soft and friendly voice: "Come, come, come and eat the candied haws."
While eating candied haws, these children looked at this elegant scholar and felt much more friendly.
There was even a four-year-old child who took the candied haws out of his mouth, looked at Yang Derong with bright eyes, and said, "Master, you look so good-looking."
"You look good too." Yang Derong stepped forward and pinched the kid's face a few more times, then picked him up, making the kid laugh.
Liu Yong and Liu Liang'an looked at each other, and Liu Liang'an nodded and said, "Although this master is young, he is very easy-going and easy to get along with."
"It's not easy for this master. Not only are most of his tutors adults like me, but there are also people who work against him." Liu Yong said with admiration, "I was worried about him the next time, but unexpectedly he was able to solve it easily."
"Master, please sit down." Two beautiful oriole-like voices came from behind Yang Derong. They turned out to be his two female students.
Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang scrambled to clean the two benches and placed them in front of Yang Derong. They looked eagerly at which bench he would sit on.
Yang Derong smiled, first praised him, and then said awkwardly: "You guys wiped it really clean. I'll just find a seat and sit down."
Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang looked at each other before smiling.
Chen Dalang's face is no longer as green as before. The food in the school is indeed good.
He came over and bowed to the two sisters and asked: "Eldest sister, second sister, I heard that you are also studying?"
Aunt Chen Wanfu returned the gift and looked at her brother with complicated emotions.
This younger brother became a little brat for a time, which made his father extremely sad, and her sister was even more sad.
But there were too many mouths in the house, his father was a one-eyed man, and his stepmother was in charge, so he was powerless.
Fortunately, with the help of the government, my younger brother entered Zhaojiazhuang School and was exempted from tuition.
Although tuition is exempted, the family expenses for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as morning and evening living expenses are also a burden.
In fact, Zhaojiazhuang Academy does much better than other government and private schools. Not only is all tuition fees waived, but there is also a free lunch at noon.
You know, many people cannot afford to study because they are overwhelmed by the heavy tuition fees.
She entered the workshop this time not for her brother. After all, he was her biological brother and shared the same blood.
"Da Lang, what did you learn in school?" She is the elder sister, and now she is putting on her elder sister's airs.
Chen Dalang shook his head and said: "In the beginning, human nature is inherently good."
"So Dalang also studied the Three Character Classic?" Aunt Chen asked happily.
Chen Dalang was even more happy and asked: "Sister, are you also studying the Three Character Classic?"
Aunt Chen nodded, smiled and said to Chen Dalang: "Bring your book and let me see it."
"Why, your book doesn't have pinyin?" After taking Chen Dalang's book, Aunt Chen stopped smiling and asked in surprise.
