Farming and reading lady

The second day of August was a good day. After being renovated, the school in Xiaoyuewan Village had a brand new look. There was a platform half a meter high in front of the school building. A row of teachers, male and female, stood on both sides. In the middle stood Gu Xihao and his sister. Although they were the smallest, they were two meters tall and had a strong aura. One meter away from the platform, the primary school students stood in front, and the half-grown boys and girls stood in rows behind. The last row was the adults with red faces and somewhat embarrassed expressions. That's right, after discussion, everyone still included these half-grown children who were over the age limit and the adults who were willing to learn in the scope of teaching. In Gu Xixian's words, literacy should be arranged from high to low. Because the scope of teaching was expanded, the number of teachers also increased. These were all people in Xiaoyuewan Village who could read and write, such as Gu Gu Sansan and his sister and Gu Xihao's cousins. There was also a circle of people watching the excitement outside.

A row of teachers first half-bowed to the students below, and then Gu Xihao stood up, holding a funnel-like object made of iron sheet in his hand. This was a simple trumpet made according to the picture drawn by Gu Xixian. He walked to the front of the stage with steady steps, raised the trumpet to his mouth and began to speak: "Dear students, today is the opening ceremony of our Xiaoyuewan Village School. Let's first invite the village chief to come up and say a few words. Everyone applaud to welcome him."

Amidst the warm applause, Village Chief Tong walked onto the platform and took the loudspeaker from Gu Xihao. His hands were shaking with excitement. He had never been so closely watched in his life. Although the village often held meetings, the feeling was completely different from now, but he still managed to keep it in check. He cleared his throat and said, "Children, our village is a small and unknown village in Daling Country. We are nameless, but children, our village is a particularly lucky village. We had Tong Erpin before, and now we have Hao Xiaozi, and in the future we will have you. You are all the pride of our Xiaoyuewan Village... So, children, follow your teachers and work hard. A beautiful tomorrow belongs to you! Thank you everyone!"

Applause broke out again, and Village Chief Tong walked down the stairs with his grandson. Gu Xihao took over the loudspeaker, raised his hand to press it, his face was serious and stern, and the audience fell silent. He was mature beyond his years and had been with Tong Mingyan for a long time. This kind of occasion was easy for him. He glanced at the audience, straightened his back, and said loudly: "The sky and the earth are vast, the universe is endless. The young people of Daling should be self-reliant and stand tall. ... If the young are independent, the country will be independent; if the young are free, the country will be free; if the young are progressive, the country will be progressive! The red sun is rising, its path is bright; the river flows out of the underground stream, and it pours into the ocean; the latent dragon soars into the abyss, its scales and claws flying; the young tiger roars in the valley , all beasts are terrified; hawks and falcons test their wings, the wind and dust are fluttering; exotic flowers are born, shining brightly; the swords are sharpened, and they have their edges; the sky is blue, and the earth is yellow; even if there are thousands of years and the world is vast, the future is like the sea, and the future is long. Great is my Da Ling, beautiful is my Da Ling! Now I am your teacher, and I will help you grow, learn together, and strive to make progress! " (Over the years, I have never forgotten the young man who was strong in the past. I personally think that this recitation is very suitable for the opening ceremony)

"Good, what a great young man Da Ling!" Someone in the crowd shouted, followed by applause. Village Chief Tong was moved to tears. He hoped that the Tong family would prosper for a hundred years without worries. The merchants watching were even more excited and could not calm down for a long time. Sending their children here was their biggest gain this year.

Gu Xihao waved his hand, and the male teachers all took a step forward and said loudly: "Let's make progress together with you!"

After saying this, Gu Xihao pressed his hand again and handed the trumpet to his sister who had stepped forward. Unlike her brother's solemnity, Gu Xixian stepped forward with a smile and took the trumpet: "In ancient times, Hua Mulan took her father's place in the army and was as good as any man. Today, Yuewan girls learn to read and go to school side by side with boys. There is no wall that cannot be broken, only yourself who cannot be defeated. Sisters, sisters, aunts, and aunts, without us, there would be no them. Let's go to school together."

"Hahaha, okay, let's go to school with Xiaoxianer." The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

The female teachers also stepped forward and stood with Gu Xixian, shouting, "Let's go to school together!"

The sisters in the Gu family were all as excited as if they were given a shot of chicken blood.

With the shout of “School is starting!”, the new village school in Xiaoyue Bay officially opened.

Unlike all imaginations, the teaching styles of Gu Xihao and his sister are completely different from their personal images. Gu Xihao's teaching style is humorous and instructive, while Gu Xixian is very serious in class. Although the teaching is simple and easy to understand, it requires strict standards. After initially checking the personal learning situation of a group of female students, she taught students in accordance with their aptitude and carried out diversion teaching. Let each student learn to be good at learning on the basis of literacy. In this ancient time, it was difficult for women. She knew it, and the women who came to study knew it even better. Therefore, no one complained about her seriousness. Anyway, they were deeply grateful and learned silently and seriously. What's more, they were muttering to themselves while walking and working.

Both the brother and sister were very popular with their students. Gu Xihao taught while they were learning, and they learned from each other. He felt that both his mind and knowledge had been consolidated. Occasionally, Gu Xixian would go to the men's hall to take classes. She taught her specialty, painting, and of course, the most basic entry-level skills. In her spare time, she would go up the mountain to explore the dangers, and occasionally write a letter to her friends in the capital. This routine life was leisurely and leisurely, and Gu Xixian was very satisfied.

The two of them had no idea that their opening ceremony had become a hot topic in the capital. The news of the young man's strength had spread from the palace to outside the palace, and many famous scholars were praising him. The emperor even wrote a plaque with the words "There is such a young man" in it.

Tong Mingyan was praised by the emperor for his "good teaching" and his mouth was so happy that it was almost cracked behind his ears. The Duke of Zhenguo was also delighted and admired Gu Xihao even more. He originally thought that his brother-in-law was just trying to help the villagers, but he didn't know that he had such a great talent. His brother-in-law was really lucky.

The two returned home and were happy again.

Yin Xueruo couldn't help but sigh while feeling happy: "It would be great if Hao'er and Xian'er were our children."

Tong Mingyan stroked his wife gently and consoled her softly, "Madam, you have to think differently. The two children are so outstanding because they come from an ancient family. We are lucky to have two such outstanding disciples. Both children are kind and filial, and they will not let us down."

Yin Xueruo nodded: "I know, I just feel sorry for you."

"Ma'am, what are you saying? It is my great fortune to meet you." Tong Mingyan's eyes were full of tenderness.

The lobby of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was also filled with laughter and joy.
