Chen Dalang was also shocked and asked in confusion: "What is Pinyin?"
He looked at Aunt Chen with an incredible look in his eyes.
How is this going? Aunt Chen was thinking hard in her mind.
Could it be that what the brother said was a lie, but his expression was not fake.
"Pinyin is a system of letters..." Aunt Chen explained to her brother.
Chen Dalang frowned and looked at his sister, even more puzzled: "What are letters?"
Aunt Chen found that she could not explain more and more clearly, so she said to her younger brother: "Dalang, sister, bring me the book for you to read."
When she went back, she happened to meet Aunt Zhang and her two brothers.
Aunt Zhang held the book in her hand, pulled her sleeve and asked: "Sister, Da Lang Er Lang's book is different from ours, why is it?"
Like Aunt Chen, she naturally cared about her older brother and younger brother, but she didn't expect to encounter the same problem.
Aunt Zhang was one year younger than her, so she called her sister.
When she encountered this situation, she was flustered and didn't know what to do.
When I saw my sister coming, I couldn't help but feel happy. Since you are the sister, of course it's best for your sister to come forward.
Aunt Chen took two books from Aunt Zhang and compared them carefully. The contents of the two books were similar. The only difference was that one had letters and the other did not.
What's going on? They are both "Three Character Classic", so why are night classes and schools different?
Could it be that Master is discriminating against us? Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang couldn't help but look at each other.
"Sister, I don't know. I have to ask Master." Aunt Chen thought for a while and said to Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang didn't have any other ideas. She looked at Aunt Chen and nodded in agreement after hearing this.
In fact, this is normal. Aunt Zhang is originally one year younger than Aunt Chen. In addition, seeing that the master likes her elder sister more, she naturally takes the lead.
Aunt Chen actually had no idea, but who made her the older sister? Although she is not a biological sister, she is a sister after all.
"Master, why are the books for night study different from those in school?" Several people came to Yang Derong, and Aunt Chen bowed in confusion and asked.
Yang Derong took two different books, opened them and read through them.
He nodded, looked at a few people, and said the answer: "It's indeed different."
The evening students, including Liu Yong, all looked at Yang Derong.
Liu Yong was even more confused. Could it be that night school was inferior to that of school.
If so, can I never hold my head high in front of Yu Wenming?
He looked at Yang Derong, worried about gains and losses, hoping to get a satisfactory answer, but also afraid that the answer would disappoint him, his expression was extremely complicated.
"Why is it different?" Aunt Chen asked in a clear voice as she bowed to Yang Derong Wanfu.
Yang Derong scanned these bodies, caught their confusion in his eyes, and said lightly: "There are two reasons."
"First, you don't have enough time to compare with the school. After all, you still have to work in the workshop. Being able to spend two hours to study is the maximum limit." Yang Derong said with his fingers, "And the students in the school To study, you can spend five hours studying.”
"The only way to solve this problem is pinyin. Aunt Chen, Aunt Zhang, how many words have you learned in seven days?" At this point, he looked at the two female students and asked.
"You can recognize forty-two characters." The two young ladies looked at their three brothers excitedly and said with excitement on their faces.
The three teenagers looked at each other and lowered their heads in shame.
They were school students, and it was good to know seven words in seven days. I didn't expect that the two sisters were several times faster than me.
"Ganzhi (character Liu Yong), how many new characters do you know?" Yang Derong asked Liu Yong again.
Liu Yong hesitated for a long time and said embarrassedly: "Master, the student is stupid and only knows six characters."
"It's already very good. You have only been here for four days, and you are older than them. You have never been exposed to Pinyin before." Yang Derong's tone was full of affirmation.
The three teenagers were even more ashamed. They didn't expect that their elder sister couldn't compare, and they didn't expect that this uncle couldn't compare either. They felt even more inferior, and their faces turned red and white.
Yang Derong also fully affirmed Liu Yong's achievements, "You have been greatly influenced by traditional literacy methods. Now you can learn a new literacy method from scratch, and you can make progress as good as them."
"The students themselves have worked hard enough, so why are they so far inferior to the two junior...junior sisters?" Liu Yong felt that the two young ladies who were called similar to his children couldn't accept it for a moment, and he stuttered a bit.
"Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang are like a blank piece of paper. It's very easy to draw." Yang Derong analyzed the reason and lamented, "They never know how to read, which is a disadvantage in others' eyes, but it is an advantage in Yu's eyes, and this is also Yu's point of view." The reason why I agreed to bet with Yu Wenming."
Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang couldn't help but look excited in their eyes. They were so happy that they clapped each other's little hands, supporting and encouraging each other.
After analyzing the two young ladies, Yang Derong looked at Liu Yong again, and Liu Yong couldn't help but straighten his body.
"Danzhi is different from the two little ladies. If the two little ladies are like a blank sheet, you are like a half-poster." Yang Derong said vividly.
Liu Yong didn't turn around for a moment and couldn't help asking: "The student is half a painting?"
"Because you haven't read much, it's only half a painting." Liu Yong felt that this was a bit harsh, but Yang Derong continued, "Guangzhi (a metaphor for civilization) is a whole painting."
Although these words made Liu Yong feel uncomfortable, he still nodded. This is a fact.
"There is still hope for half of the painting. You can add scenery to the blank space," Yang Derong continued vividly, "So you can accept Pinyin and have made considerable progress. After all, you can read eight words in four days, and you can read at least more than seven hundred in one." .”
Liu Yong never settled this account before, but now it seems that he is much faster than before.
You should know that he had only learned about 200 words in the past two years, and he studied all day long. He was also young and was completely unaffected by other things.
Liu Yong stood up from his seat, bowed deeply to Yang Derong, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master, for teaching me."
Yang Derong shook his head, bowed his hands in the direction of Chengdu, and said sincerely: "There is no need to thank Yu for this. If you want to thank me, you should thank Zhao Guanren. He invented Pinyin, which has benefited us."
Liu Yong and his two young ladies also followed Yang Derong and bowed deeply to Zhao Ping in Chengdu to thank him for his invention.
"Actually, this is still a very conservative estimate, because in the future, you may be proficient in Pinyin." Yang Derong's words made Liu Yong very happy, "At that time, you can not rely on the Master at all, and you can read according to Pinyin."
"Master, can students learn Pinyin on their own?" Liu Yong couldn't believe himself at all.
"Of course, the purpose of pinyin literacy is to let you learn to read by yourself." Yang Derong then said in a very affirmative tone, "In one year, it is not impossible for you to know a thousand characters."
Liu Yong couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "Master, the student doesn't have that ability, right?"
"As long as you work hard, an iron rod can be ground into a needle." Yang Derong looked at him lightly, with deep meaning. "Nothing you give, nothing you gain."
"Students know that pie will not fall in the sky," Liu Yong answered respectfully and said in a firm tone, "Students must work extremely hard to get that reward."
"As long as you have this attitude, you must avoid slacking off in literacy." Yang Derong pointed out the direction for him.
Liu Yong and the two young ladies stood up from their seats and bowed respectfully to Yang Derong: "Thank you, Master, for teaching me. I will remember this in my heart."
"At this rate, you will be able to read 5,000 words in three years or at most four years." Yang Derong looked at Liu Yong, "And you have already achieved the reading skills of ten years in just four years, and you are already qualified as a scholar. "
"Literati qualifications?" Liu Yong didn't understand for a while.
"Literacy is only the foundation for a literati," Yang Derong looked at Liu Yong and the two young ladies and emphasized, "At the same time, you must also learn to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, cultivate your character, and strive to be a gentleman, so that you can become a true literati."
He painted a bright future for Liu Yong and others.
Liu Yong was so excited that he didn't expect that his Pinyin literacy was so good. He couldn't help but stood up from his seat, bowed deeply to Yang Derong, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards Chengdu.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for allowing me, an illiterate person, to become a scholar." He kowtowed on the ground, making a loud banging noise, without any hint of fraud.
"Will Guangzhi learn Pinyin?" Liu Yong finished thanking him and thought of Yu Wenming.
"You are half a painting, and he is a whole painting. It is difficult to modify. This is his advantage, but also his disadvantage." Yang Derong thought for a while, shook his head and sighed, "So he is not willing to learn. The key is that he The ideas have been finalized, and learning is far more difficult than for you."
Liu Yong couldn't help but sigh deeply. After all, he and Yu Wenming were quite good at the workshop, and he hoped that he could learn the pinyin of this unprecedented person.
Telling the first reason, Yang Derong said the second reason.
"Secondly, the master in the school has never learned the alphabet and does not know pinyin. If he doesn't know it himself, how can he teach it to his students?"
Although Yang Derong's tone was extremely light, for the three teenagers, this was definitely a bolt from the blue and almost crumbling.
Chen Dalang, Zhang Dalang and Zhang Erlang looked pale. They never expected that their master could not understand pinyin or letters.
Although the master in front of him is much younger than his own master, his ability is not just a little bit stronger, but an epoch-making difference.
The three of them turned out to be superior to others. Entering the school made them feel superior. Although they didn't say it with their mouths, they definitely looked down on the two sisters in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the two sisters have now come back to life and learned pinyin literacy from another wife. I feel like I can't hold my head up at all.
They had to sigh. They, the professional students, obviously did not perform as well as the amateur students.
Chen Dalang and the Zhang brothers looked at each other and nodded.
Chen Dalang stepped forward and bowed deeply to his sister, and asked sheepishly: "Sister, can you teach me and the other three about the pinyin?"
