From that day on, except for Sundays, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan went to Chang Xianzhang's home every day to report. And they almost had to stay here until dinner time before being released home.
In fact, the reason why Chang Xianzhang kept them so late was mainly because he was afraid that they would go wild on the streets. Because at that time, some middle school students felt that the resumption of classes was boring and returned to the society. Fighting incidents occurred frequently, and many people outside
The security situation is very bad.
Of course, during these three hours, Chang Xianzhang could not always tell "The Complete Story of Yue Shuo" to his two children. Therefore, the rest of the time was very generous.
At the beginning, after Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan finished listening to the story, they either discussed the plot and characters in "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" or chattered, pestering Chang Xianzhang to tell more. In fact, there was less time for complacency and more time for nonsense.
, it was very noisy and unbearable.
In order to kill the hard time, Chang Xianzhang could only try his best to teach Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to recognize more words, which could be regarded as learning some cultural knowledge.
Some people have said that given Hong Yanwu’s character, he is not someone who can sit still and learn. Is this possible?
Hey, if it weren't for the world's affairs, it would be strange here. As the saying goes, one thing is good for another, and Chang Xianzhang was the one who made Hong Yanwu willing to learn to read.
It turns out that Chang Xianzhang came up with the method based on his own reading experience. This is because his initial enlightenment in reading happened to be from reading the Little Man's Book.
Little People's Books, also known as comic books, were the most popular form of children's books at that time. The themes and contents were mostly historical stories related to Chinese classical culture. However, when Chang Xianzhang was a child, due to the poor economic conditions of most families,
Not loose, not every child can have a little book.
Even in most decent families, children could only own three or five books at most. If they wanted to read other books, there were only two ways at that time. Either exchange with other children, or go to a stall that rents out little people's books and spend money on them.
It only costs a few cents to rent it. If any child can own a complete set of Little People books, then he can become the idol of other children.
But you must know that Chang Xianzhang's parents both work in education. Their favorite thing is that their son loves to read. As long as it is reading, they will support it no matter what the book is. In addition, the family conditions are relatively superior,
Therefore, whenever there was a new comic book on the market, Chang Xianzhang's parents would buy it for him.
In this way, Chang Xianzhang became the happiest child in the Republic. As his collection of little people's books grew day by day, it was comparable to that of a bookstore. And among the little people's books he accumulated, naturally included
A set of "The Biography of Yue Fei" published by People's Fine Arts Publishing House in the late 1950s.
This set of "Yue Fei's Biography" has a total of fifteen volumes. The chapters in order are "Yue Fei's Birth", "Shooting Xiaoliang Wang with a Gun", "Mother-in-law's Tattoo", "Qinglong Mountain", "Yue Fei Takes Command", "Battle at Aihua Mountain", "Lotus Root"
Tangguan", "Niutoushan", "Yueyun", "Huang Tiandang", "Yang Zaixing", "Xiao Shanghe", "Two Guns Lu Wenlong", "The Great Breaking of the Golden Dragon Formation", "Fengbo Pavilion".
From the content point of view, although it is only an abbreviated version of the first 61 chapters of "The Complete Story of Yue Lei", there is no story of Yue Lei taking command to sweep the north. Moreover, after the liberation, it was reorganized and the original mythical reincarnation content was also removed.
.However, due to the concise arrangement of the story and the vivid description of the characters, it is still very attractive to children.
If we use an analogy, this effect is like the clips that have to be edited before a movie is released in modern society. Although it cannot tell the story clearly, it can fully capture the hearts of the audience through wonderful picture clips.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that if this set of little books is used together with the purely text "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan", it will undoubtedly play a better role in prompting children to extend their imagination and assist them in interpreting the specific content of the story.
Visualize in your mind.
Therefore, from this set of villain books, Chang Xianzhang naturally thought of taking the medicine according to the prescription. He planned to start from the fact that both Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were eager to know the subsequent plot, hoping to imitate his own initial reading experience.
, and it can also arouse the enthusiasm of these two boys for literacy.
Don't tell me, this trick really works. Just after Chang Xianzhang finished talking about the content of the sixth chapter "Feilu Tomb in Liquan Mountain, Niugao Cuts the Path in Cao Gang", he took out this set of villains from a shoe box
The book immediately lit up the eyes of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. Not only did the two immediately clamor to read it, they even started arguing over who should go first.
Chang Xianzhang was of course very happy when he saw that the effect was good. But he would not give the book to them so easily. Instead, he took the opportunity to put forward a condition - you can read the book, but you can't pick it up, and you can't just look at the paintings.
, and you must recognize all the words every time you read a book. Otherwise, not only will you not read the next book, but you will also have to listen to "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" every day and the content will be halved. But if you can recognize it quickly and study seriously,
Not only can you take the little book home and read it slowly, but the daily "playing" time of "The Complete Story of Yue" can also be increased accordingly.
In this way, under this relatively reasonable reward and punishment system, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan devoted themselves to studying hard for the first time, and their interest and enthusiasm were unprecedentedly high. Correspondingly, their progress was also very fast.
At the beginning, it took the two children more than half a month to recognize the characters in the book "The Birth of Yue Fei". But when they learned the fourth book "Qinglong Mountain", it took them less than a week.
.At the same time, they can already use dictionaries themselves.
So on that night, Chang Xianzhang lent each of them a Xinhua Little Dictionary, and allowed them each to take a little book back home. From then on, the two children became more like little people when they saw the sky.
Keeping a dictionary in hand will help you learn words faster.
After another month of this, the two children have completely recognized all the Chinese characters in the set of fifteen little books, and even the names of the authors and editors.
At this time, Chang Xianzhang had just finished speaking about the last chapter 81 of "The Complete Biography of Shuo Yue", "Sealing the Top of Biao Jingzhong's Tomb to Prove the Return of the Dapeng of Cause and Effect".
At this time, even Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan could not have imagined that through these fifteen volumes of villain books, they had actually mastered more than a thousand commonly used Chinese characters and reached the Chinese language level of the third grade of elementary school in the normal period. It was really
It can be said that the results are outstanding. Even the teacher Chang Xianzhang was secretly amazed by the two children's reading speed.
However, despite the fact that the two children were still confused and confused, the changes that had occurred in them had actually been noticed by the adults of the Hong and Chen families.
Since Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan frequently came home late together, they had already attracted their attention.
At first, the adults of the two families thought that the two children had made some mistake and were "stayed away". Seeing that things were like this, they had to think about other things.
As a result, when asked separately, both children responded with the same words. Either they said they would imitate Lei Feng and do good deeds and help the teacher clean the car and sweep the yard at school. Or they said they would go to Chang Xianzhang's house and ask the teacher for advice on the "Supreme Instructions."
Yes, in short, no one said anything about what they were really doing.
After thinking about it, I know that these words were deliberately taught to them by Chang Xianzhang.
Because in these days, people's way of thinking is relatively simple, one is one, two is two, and there are too many conceptual things in the mind. People's behavior and speech are subject to many invisible constraints.
Of course, this can also be said to be the simplicity of the people at that time, but the other side of simplicity is the stifling of individuality. In that kind of monotonous atmosphere, you can't be unconventional, you can't criticize reality, you can't be withdrawn, and you can't be too talkative.
It's not good to be polite, it's not good to appreciate your unique taste, it's not good for you to be mysophobic, it's not good for you to pay attention to grooming.
In short, due to the closed information, there is a lack of scientific and rational discourse in social groups. Compared with modern society, it is tantamount to a state of ignorance. In this atmosphere, any person with personality may be easily offended.
I'll put the hat on you.
Therefore, even if Chang Xianzhang is teaching children to read and telling stories, he cannot reveal a word to the outside world. Because if he meets someone who is interested, a good thing can turn into a bad thing, whether he is saying "you go"
"Practice your own path" or "propaganda a poisonous weed and harm your successors", both are enough for you to drink.
No one does not understand this power. Even the two children understand that once something happens, there will be no more stories to listen to. It is precisely because of this that they can always keep it secret.
It should be said that these two children really have a firm grasp on their words. No matter how many questions and twists the adults ask, they will never let go. But the adults never believe what they say.
As the old saying goes, old age is still hot. It didn't take long, under the careful observation of the adults, and through the abnormal behavior of these two children, the truth of the matter was quickly figured out.
First of all, it was Hong Yanwu's father who discovered something was wrong with Hong Yanwu. Because this "hometown thief" no longer went out to "hang around" and was unusually quiet even at home. When he looked carefully out of curiosity, he actually saw Hong Yanwu acting like a
Holding a dictionary in his hand, he was rummaging around and copying something.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Liquan's father also made a major discovery. Because one time when he was writing a big-character poster at home, he suddenly forgot to write. But what he didn't expect was that his son Chen Liquan actually came over and took the initiative to tell him.
How to write that word. When he looked through his son's schoolbag again, he found many exercise books full of writing, and he didn't recognize many of the words in them.
In fact, everyone already knows what is taught in schools now. Naturally, the two adults found it extremely strange, so they even met at the Chen family specifically for this matter.
Needless to say, the result was natural. By comparing these clues, it was easy to deduce that Teacher Chang was feeding these two children Xiaozao and tutoring them in literacy.
Hong Lucheng and Chen Deyuan were really surprised by this result. Not only did they not intend to expose this matter, they even expected the children to learn more. Because it is so difficult to find a teacher who is willing to teach children skills now, they both
I think this is a great thing that can only be met by chance.
The only person who has concerns is Chen Liquan's mother. Quanzi's mother is worried that culture is no longer popular and the status of intellectuals is extremely low. Will it be bad for her son to learn more culture?
Chen Deyuan certainly refuted this argument. His opinion was that culture should be modified rather than abolished. Moreover, based on what he had seen in his life, although educated people have had a lot of bad luck, in general
, they will always live better than uneducated people.
Regarding the dispute between Chen Deyuan and his wife, Hong Lucheng just listened quietly and did not comment a word, but he still laughed and couldn't close his mouth.
Because for him, he doesn't care whether he is popular or not. As long as Hong Yanwu can maintain his current peaceful state, it will be a great happiness.
