Mr. Transcendence

This is the morning of the third day of enrollment.According to the past, Yuan Anping, who doesn't need to teach in the morning, can sleep in beautifully, and then eat a rich and belated breakfast, and then he can fool around for lunch.As a result, not long after dawn, someone knocked on the door, and then heard the voices of two familiar children.

Yuan Anping got up in annoyance, wiped his face, and went out angrily with disheveled hair. As soon as he opened the door, he said with a stern face, "Give me a reason to knock on my door so early!"

Li Zi and Fat Dun were overwhelmed by Yuan Anping's soaring resentment, and stuttered to explain the reason.It turned out that because more and more people were accepting, they all flocked to find Li Zi and Fat Dun, but it was hard to find a suitable place for teaching. After much deliberation, no one was suitable for Yuan Anping's house, so the two children were shy. Come to ask Yuan Anping to allow them to study at his home in the morning.In fact, they were a bit annoyed at teaching others to write, after all, it would save a lot of time for playing.But it turned out that by teaching others, they remembered better.And seeing so many children look at them with adoring eyes, they are still very happy.

Yuan Anping saw that they were so motivated, and it was not easy to dampen the children's enthusiasm for learning, so he reluctantly agreed, "You follow your example, don't come into the house to disturb me, I have to sleep for a while."

Li Zi quickly said: "How can we read while you sleep?"

Yuan Anping yawned, "It doesn't matter, you can read it however you want. But you have to remember, you must be serious when teaching, otherwise you will teach the wrong word, and be careful that they will beat you together."

Li Zi looked okay, "Don't worry, Fatty and I checked each other, it's impossible for two people to make mistakes together." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and many children appeared behind him, all carrying small benches and sandboxes.Then they greeted Yuan Anping obediently one by one, and then entered Yuan Anping's yard.

Yuan Anping didn't have the time to talk to them, and he wouldn't overthrow the words that let them learn by themselves because of their enthusiasm.A person is eager to learn, and there is a big difference between active learning and learning with a whip.The reason why he is willing to teach these children is not for their sake, but to satisfy their desire to be literate. If someone does not cherish this opportunity, he can let him go back and forth.

Yuan Anping lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep much, and when he was really sleepy, he got up.I tidied myself up, had breakfast, and went to the yard with a stool.The sun is very sunny today, and he is going to bask in the sun in the yard.

The sound of children reading and the warmth of the sun made him drowsy.It felt like I heard a knock on the door.He opened his eyes and saw Li Zi opened the door and led two people in, an old man and a young man.Chubby ran up to him, and whispered to him, "That's Grandpa Yuan, our family. He and his grandson are the only two left in his family. It's very pitiful."

Yuan Anping thought to himself, this kid is really sympathetic.He stood up and greeted him proactively, seeing that the elders always had to be polite, "Grandpa Yuan, you are here, come in and talk." He said helping the old man into the house.

The old man looks very old, his hair and beard are all white, and the lines on his face are very deep.And his grandson put a bag at his feet, which was bulging, and it should be something given to him.The child stood quietly behind the old man with no expression on his face, and felt very different from other children.

The old man directly stated his intention, "Anping, I want Lin Zi to learn how to read from you. You test him to see if he is suitable."

Yuan Anping smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll test him." Then he looked at Yuan Lin, "How old are you?"

Yuan Lin's voice was cold, "11 years old."

Yuan Anping, "Your grandfather is a Geng this year?"

Yuanlin didn't know the meaning of his question, so he replied: "My grandfather is 53 this year."

"How old is your grandfather older than you?"

Lin Zi answered quickly, "Grandpa is 42 years older than me."

Yuan Anping nodded, and then called out, "Fatty, come in."

"Come on." Within a few seconds, Pang Dun flew into the room, "Brother Anping, what do you want from me?"

Yuan Anping pointed to Yuan Lin, "You are responsible for making up the words he has missed, and then explain to him the requirements I set. Alright, take him out."

Fat Dun had no objection to teaching one more person, and honestly took Yuan Lin out.

Seeing that Yuan Anping had accepted Yuan Lin, Grandpa Yuan Lin thanked him quickly.Yuan Anping said that he would not accept the other party's things and let him take them away, and he would also teach Yuan Lin with his heart so that he could rest assured.However, Grandpa Yuan Lin insisted that Yuan Anping accept it. Yuan Anping had no choice but to keep some vegetables, one Chinese cabbage, two or three carrots, no matter how much he would not accept.The situation of Yuan Lin's family can be seen at a glance, and he is not short of food, so there is no need to increase their burden.

On the morning of the fourth day, the yard was still full of children. Yuan Anping was reading a book in the house, and then Li Zi ran in and said to him with a smile, "Brother Anping, your little wife is here to look for you."

Yuan Anping stretched out his foot to kick him, but he deftly avoided him, "Go away! Where are the others?"

Li Zi smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you at the door, you should go see him quickly."

Yuan Anping laughed and scolded: "Go and write." Then he went into the utility room, put on the basket, and went out to see that Huo Xiaohan was indeed waiting outside.

Huo Xiaohan was also very happy to see him, with a smile on his face: "I heard Li Zi tell me that you want me to take you up the mountain to cut firewood."

Yuan Anping smiled and said, "I really don't know how to chop firewood, and I want to learn from you. Let's go."

The eavesdropping children crowded together in the yard, and one of them asked in a low voice, "Why is Mr. Anping and Huo Xiaohan together?"

Li Zi said disdainfully: "What do you know? Huo Xiaohan is brother Anping's daughter-in-law. But if you hear this, don't tell others, and don't tell your family. Brother Anping said it, and you know everything That's ability, but spreading gossip is a bad-mouthed woman. We are all men who can read and write, so we can't be bad-mouthed women."

Hearing what Li Zi said, the children who wanted to say something all shut their mouths.They are all literate people, unlike other children, they cannot be sloppy wives.Then I thought in my heart that no one would tell this.

Yuan Lin glanced at them, lowered his head and continued to write, he was even less interested in other people's business.

The two who walked into the mountains together chatted while walking.

"Xiaohan, did you take this name because you were born on Dongyue Xiaohan's day?"

"I was born on the day of Xiaohan. Children born in winter are not easy to feed. My mother said that she didn't even expect me to survive." The implication is that his life is cheap.

Seeing that he was depressed, Yuan Anping hurriedly said, "I heard that children born in winter are generally healthier and live longer than those born in other seasons."

Huo Xiaohan sounded very strange, "Is there such a saying?"

Yuan Anping couldn't explain to him about bone growth and gastrointestinal diseases, so he could only say: "I heard about it."

Huo Xiaohan said with a smile: "I don't really care about longevity, as long as I'm healthy. Seeing a doctor is too expensive and troublesome. People say that the greatest blessing is to get rid of illness and not suffer."

Yuan Anping consoled and said: "Don't be so pessimistic. I believe that there will always be times when hardships come to an end."

Huo Xiaohan looked at him and smiled, but said nothing.He looked at the withered grass on the side of the road for a while, then looked at Yuan Anping, "My sister-in-law plans to bring Fugui to your place tomorrow, will you accept him?"

Yuan Anping thought for a while and asked, "Do you want me to take him in?" He knew how hideous that child's appearance was, and he could punch and kick his uncle at a young age.

Huo Xiaohan thought for a while and finally nodded, "Actually Fugui was pretty good when he was young, but his mother didn't let him get close to me, and he listened to so many bad things about me, that's why he treated me badly."

Yuan Anping didn't say whether to accept him or not, "If I want to keep him, it depends on his ability. You also know that those children only stay after passing the assessment and satisfying me."

Huo Xiaohan nodded, "I know this, I didn't want you to treat him leniently."

The two went up to the mountain, and Yuan Anping really learned from Huo Xiaohan how to identify which trees were dead and what kind of firewood he could only chop, because the village had a rule that trees on the mountain were not allowed to be cut down in winter .

At noon, Yuan Anping took out the food he had prepared. Although it was not completely cooled, it was only slightly warm.There's no way, Huo Xiaohan doesn't want to go to dinner with him at home, for fear of meeting other people.

Two bowls of rice, one plate of scrambled eggs, and one plate of fried cabbage with shredded pork in it.He didn't dare to put more meat. People like Huo Xiaohan who haven't touched meat for a long time can't eat meat suddenly, otherwise they will definitely have a stomachache.

Huo Xiaohan looked at the plate of eggs, "Our family also scrambled eggs today."

Yuan Anping guessed and asked, "That's why you were paid?"

Huo Xiaohan didn't care too much and said: "Actually, I won't be able to eat it if I don't let me out. And I brought a pancake out, so I won't be hungry."

Yuan Anping handed him the still slightly hot rice, "Eat this." Then he sandwiched some eggs, "Try to eat as many eggs as possible, and this cabbage." Let him eat as much vegetables as possible.

After a meal, because Yuan Anping kept adding vegetables to Huo Xiaohan, Huo Xiaohan ate most of a plate of eggs, and also ate a lot of fried meat with cabbage.He almost finished eating a large bowl of rice, and ended up feeling uncomfortable, rubbing his stomach non-stop.Although it is better to be full than to be hungry, neither is uncomfortable.Yuan Anping reviewed himself, and he must not keep persuading him to eat like this in the future.

Huo Xiaohan said to Yuan Anping: "You go first, it's almost time for you to teach."

Yuan Anping suggested: "Aren't you going, or I'll help you carry the firewood down the mountain together."

Huo Xiaohan refused, "I have to chop some more firewood, and it will take an hour or two. You should go back soon."

Yuan Anping had no choice but to go back first, "I left the firewood I chopped for you." Then he brought out a hard-boiled egg, "This is for you to eat when you are hungry, and I will let Li I’ll send you some food later.”

Huo Xiaohan took it and put it in his arms, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, remember to apply frostbite medicine, I'm leaving." He waved his hands and rushed down the mountain with a backpack on his back.

Huo Xiaohan looked at Yuan Anping's leaving figure, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.
