Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Mu Qiong wrote this "I'm in a Hundred Years Later", and he wrote it very well.

When he was writing "Study Abroad" and "Seeking a Doctor" before, he had actually deliberately changed his writing style. Before writing, he would often read books from this period and write according to the style of writing at that time.

He was afraid that his writing was out of tune with this era and would arouse suspicion from others.

But when he wrote "I'm in a Hundred Years Later", he no longer had such worries.

For this novel, he doesn't even plan to ask for the manuscript fee, so what is he afraid of?

He is completely free to write now, and he is very familiar with modern times...it is very easy to write.

However, writing a book with a pen is not as fast as "typing a book" with a computer, plus some details need to be thought about... He wrote for two hours, and only wrote [-] words.

Mu Qiong put the two thousand characters into a box and locked it together with the [-] yuan banknote he just got, before going to bed.

As for the Fu family, Fu Yun'an was also preparing to go to bed at this time.

Fu Huai'an gave him the Dazhong newspaper as soon as school was over, but he didn't have time to read it. He didn't lean on the bed until he finished his work and washed up. He opened the newspaper and read it as a pastime before going to bed.

During the free clinic before, he stayed with Mu Qiong every day, but because he was not too curious, he never inquired about the ending of "Study Abroad". written.

This ending is a bit idealistic.

But he kind of likes it.

Sometimes looking at something beautiful can always make people happy.

After reading "Study Abroad", Fu Yun'an noticed "Seeking a Doctor" later.

The story of "seeking a doctor" was discussed between him and Mu Qiong, especially some of the cases were directly provided by him. He was not very interested in this story at first, but now that he read it... The description is so real.

He seemed to be dragged into that woodshed, and experienced everything the woman in the book experienced.

Among other things, Mu Qiong, this skill is really good.

Fu Yun'an put away the newspaper, took a deep breath and lay down.

In the other room, Fu Huai'an, who finally couldn't hold back watching "Seeking a Doctor", sucked his nose, and his eyes were red.

How can there be such a miserable person in this world!That mother-in-law is too bad!

This story is so uncomfortable that he will never read it again!

The next day was cloudy and windy.

Mu Qiong left home early in the morning wearing a thick padded jacket, and then called a rickshaw to take him to school.

He went to bed late last night and didn't rest well, so he won't torment himself today.

It was still early when we arrived at school, but the students had already arrived, some were reciting essays, and more were reciting short English essays he had written for them.

Seeing him, these students came over to say hello: "Mr. Mu is good!"

"Hello." Mu Qiong has always been unassuming. He also greeted these people and corrected the pronunciation of a few students who were reciting essays.

After a short delay outside, Mu Qiong returned to the office, sat down and started preparing lessons.

He didn't let the students buy textbooks printed by the government, but he brought a complete set of textbooks from Wei Ting, as well as textbooks used in missionary schools, and read them all.

The textbooks in missionary schools are directly from the textbooks in the UK, and the government textbooks are also revised accordingly.

In fact, it is not impossible to teach according to these books, but it is difficult to learn a language only by textbooks, and some other input is needed to learn it well.

Such as extracurricular reading, such as the language environment.

It is difficult to create an English-speaking language environment for students, but it is no problem to increase extracurricular reading.

Every time Mu Qiong finishes class, he will write down what he taught, and ask these students to prepare a notebook or blank paper, copy it by themselves and memorize it repeatedly, and then ask them to recite the short English essay written by him.

At this time, the students were very relieved. He just explained casually, and they would finish it properly, without having to stare at collecting homework or random checks.

As for memorizing short English essays, at first he was afraid that these students would not memorize them, so he made random checks a few times, but it turned out that they all memorized them fluently, but the pronunciation was not standard.

Therefore, what he has focused on recently is the pronunciation of these students.

After the lesson preparation is completed, it's time for class.

Mu Qiong walked into the school with his notebook for lesson preparation, and found Wei Ting sitting at the back of the classroom, next to Fu Huai'an who was full of reluctance.

He felt that Wei Ting had a big heart before, even if he was good at English, he couldn't just hand over a group of students to him... Now, Wei Ting finally remembered to check his teaching ability?

Mu Qiong started the class according to his own steps, and quickly finished a class.

When class was over, he not only left a blackboard of notes, but also left a piece of paper on which he wrote an article, and asked all the students in the class to copy it out and recite it. If there is something he doesn't understand, he can come to the office and ask him.

These students complied, one by one scrambling to copy first, while Mu Qiong left the office.

"Mu Qiong, your class is so good!" Wei Ting followed, his face full of surprise: "Your class is much better than mine."

Mu Qiong didn't feel how good he was in class: "I have no experience at all..."

"Don't say that, even an experienced teacher may not be as good as you!" Wei Ting said: "When I first learned English, if the teacher I looked for was you, I wouldn't be able to talk to others after I went abroad. I don't understand!"

Mu Qiong really didn't expect that he could be praised so much, but after chatting with Wei Ting, he knew the reason.

At that time, most of the teachers in missionary schools were foreign missionaries, and these missionaries were not teachers at all abroad. They basically became teachers after they came here. Naturally, they can’t teach very well. How well they learn is entirely up to the students themselves.

And after these students graduate and work in the education industry, it is naturally impossible for them to teach too well.

On the contrary, Mu Qiong, when he was learning languages ​​in the modern age, was taught with a carefully selected teaching plan, and he used the same method to teach these children, so naturally it looked very different.

Of course, he was praised so much mainly because there was a real shortage of teachers at this time.

There is a shortage of teachers in modern impoverished mountainous areas, so college students who have no teaching experience at all are welcome to teach, and some of their original teachers have only graduated from junior high school or high school.

As for Ping An Middle School, this is almost the case.

Of course, Ping An Middle School is not bad.The middle school the original owner attended in Suzhou only taught Chinese and mathematics, not even physics and chemistry.

All this will gradually improve after the New Culture Movement.

Wei Ting praised Mu Qiong, and said: "I have read all the short essays you asked the students to memorize, they are very good! I think we can organize and publish them, so that more people can see and use them. "

Mu Qiong was still a little unresponsive, and Wei Ting said again: "By the way, you can also learn Chinese in this way! Why do some children learn Chinese badly? Is it because it is too difficult? They just learn the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classic. Explaining the meaning, how easy is it for children to learn? If you write such small articles for children to read, children will learn quickly."

This does make sense. If his parents enlightened him with the thousand-character prose, he might not like reading.

The more Wei Ting spoke, the more excited he became: "Come on, let's discuss it."

This discussion lasted for a full two hours, and Wei Ting had already decided to compile and publish two books with Mu Qiong.

One of them is short stories to help learn English, and the other is short stories to help learn Chinese.

According to Wei Ting, there is no such book on the market now, and they must write it out as soon as possible so that students can read it quickly and learn it early.

Wei Ting is really a vigorous and resolute person, but there are some things that need someone to do it.

Wei Ting intends to handle the Chinese short essays by himself, but hopes that Mu Qiong can also write a few essays and put them in. As for the English essays, since Mu Qiong has written more than ten essays, he simply let Mu Qiong take full responsibility: "The books we publish are not thick, and we print fifty short essays in one book. If you can write, you will write them all. If you are too busy, come to me again."

"I can write this." Mu Qiong said, this kind of short essays are basically written out of life fragments, no matter whether they are in English or French, he has read too many of them, so he can write them easily come out.

"Then I will trouble you!" Wei Ting said.

Mu Qiong just had one more job in his hands. He thought, maybe before "Seeking Medical Treatment" was published, his English teaching supplementary book had already come out first.

At noon that day, Mu Qiong gave a roast chicken to Sheng Chaohui and the others who were going out for dinner, and asked them to have extra meals. The other roast chicken was cut open with Mr. Zhong, Feng Xiaoya and his wife, and the lame man who opened the door. The old man is divided.

"This roast chicken is so fragrant, I don't even take the long-haired chicken with me." Mr. Zhong said.

The dishes Mr. Zhong brings at noon are basically salted duck eggs every day.

Eggs are expensive in Shanghai, mainly because fresh eggs are rare.In the countryside, eggs are actually not particularly expensive, and so are duck eggs.

Some farmers raise ducks, and the eggs they lay are made into salted duck eggs, so that they can be preserved for a longer period of time, and they can be sold in Shanghai at a time, sometimes at a cheaper price than fresh eggs.

"Long hair?" Mu Qiong asked.

"It's those people from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Teacher Zhong smiled: "Your age doesn't know much about it. At our age, we are most afraid of being robbed by them for a few years."

After the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, many peasant rebels became robbers, and because they did not wear braids and disheveled hair, they were called long-haired.

The Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas were once deeply affected by it.

Mu Qiong knew some important things, but he really didn't know the details, so he asked a few more questions, and Teacher Zhong answered them all.

After eating, Mu Qiong began to write "seeking a doctor"

He has a lot of things to do now, but somehow he doesn't feel tired, but feels very fulfilled.

These are chaotic times.And he also wants to do something for this era.

Another day passed and it got colder.

This day Mu Qiong got up earlier than usual.

He planned to go to Fu Yun'an's place, give Fu Yun'an something, and thank Fu Yun'an for all the help he provided before he wrote "Seeking a Doctor".

Speaking of which, after returning from the free clinic, he didn't go to Fu Yunan's free clinic to help much.

One is that there is no time, and the other is that Zheng Weixin, Sun Yiyao and others came to help after they learned that Fu Yun'an would be in the clinic for free consultation every morning, so naturally, he is not needed.
