At the end of the ceremony, Qi Zhen asked everyone to refer to the calligraphy board he made for Xiao Cao and make one for his own students.
So, when I went back that day, the other seven schoolchildren started making calligraphy boards at their homes.
When school officially started the next morning, each of the children brought a calligraphy board and a bag of fine sand to the school.
Bai Banxia was a little worried and took Qi Zhen to hide outside early in the morning to take a peek.
Afraid of affecting Mr. Peng, she pulled Qi Zhen and squatted under the window, which also offended Qi Zhen's long legs.
Mr. Peng was very kind and asked the children to introduce themselves one by one, saying that from now on we would all be classmates.
After each child introduced himself, Mr. Peng would give a few words of encouragement. The children who were praised were very proud and seemed to be more motivated.
Finally it was Xiaocao's turn. Xiaocao stood up and said, "My name is Bai Lancao. I am six years old. I can write my own name and can also add and subtract within ten. My sister taught me. I am the righteous member of the Bai family."
I am a girl, but my family treats me like a relative. I want to study hard and be a useful person in the future, so that my sister and relatives can live a better life."
Under the window, Bai Banxia held Qi Zhen's arm tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, quite moved as if a child at home had grown up.
Qi Zhen smiled and touched her head to signal her not to cry. She hit him and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.
Xiaocao, this kid is so adorable.
At this time, a boy in the class was a little naughty and asked: "Liu Xiaocao, what kind of books do you, a girl, study at?"
Mr. Peng was about to speak, but after thinking about it, he decided to see what Bai Lancao had to say first.
Xiaocao was not afraid at all. She looked at the other person and said, "My sister said that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, reading can enlighten your mind, make you more sensible, and cure your stupidity. Only then can you become a more powerful person in the future."
Mr. Peng couldn't help but nod, "Well said! What a enlightenment, understanding, and treatment of fools. It makes sense."
Everyone respected the husband very much. When they heard that the husband praised Bailancao like this, they did not dare to speak anymore. Some boys even looked at Xiaocao with envy, thinking that she knew so much.
After everyone had finished their introductions, Mr. Peng began to teach. The first lesson was a simple word: human.
The word "people" can have many interpretations, but the most essential one is people-oriented.
Mr. Peng didn't talk about any big principles. He just taught the children how to draw strokes and then started to read the disciple rules with them.
If you learn too many words at the beginning, the children will not be able to remember them, and it will be boring to understand the general principles. This arrangement is very reasonable.
The class time was scheduled for two-quarters of an hour, and just like that, when get out of class was about to end, two children couldn't sit still.
Children in the countryside often play wildly in the fields, and they are really not used to sitting down like this.
Fortunately, there is a quarter-hour break after class for the children to relax and play, and then there is the martial arts class.
Not to mention how excited the boys were, Bai Banxia bets that they came to the school just to learn martial arts.
The person who came to the martial arts class today was Saburo Bai. Because he had taught Dong Zheng before and had experience in teaching children, he was "entrusted with an important task".
"Brother Bai, when will you take me to pick out bird eggs?" an older boy asked with a smile.
Bai Shengcai was a little embarrassed. He was a young man before, but he was always playing around with the children in the village, and even did things like picking out bird eggs and bullying other people's dogs.
Many of today's schoolchildren have played with him.
"It's class time now, please be serious and call me Mr. Bai." Bai Shengcai said with a straight face.
Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen hid a little further this time and peeked. Seeing Sanlang's appearance, Bai Banxia couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Huanbai, he is really capable." She murmured in a low voice.
"It looks good." Qi Zhen said.
This was Qi Zhen's great recognition of San Lang. You must know that when San Lang started training with the defense team, Qi Zhen beat him a lot, but never praised him once.
"I'm afraid Sanlang will be very excited when he hears this." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
Over there, Saburo has already started teaching. He started with basic skills and asked eight children to squat the horse stance.
"Mr. Bai, I can't hold on any longer!" a boy shouted.
"Can't hold on after such a while? How can a girl like Bai Lancao still hold on?" Sanlang asked sternly, quite harshly like a gentleman.
The boy blushed and said, "You are her brother. You must have practiced with her in advance. It's my first time practicing and I'm not familiar with it yet."
"Then you are practicing, and she is also practicing. If you don't work hard, when will you catch up with her? Let alone surpass her." Saburo said.
Now several boys who originally wanted to give up cheered up. How could they catch up with Bai Lancao if they didn't work hard?
Xiaocao had practiced in advance at home, but she had been weak before and hadn't practiced much.
At this moment, because I had persisted for so long, my legs were already shaking, and beads of sweat were forming on my forehead.
Bai Banxia felt a little distressed, "What is Sanlang doing? He said this even though he knew Xiaocao was not in good health. Xiaocao has a very strong self-esteem. Now he has to grit his teeth and persevere even if he lies down when he is tired."
"That's not a good thing. Only by enduring hardship can you become a master. You are not so soft-hearted when training others. A loving mother often loses her child. You, a loving sister, cannot delay Xiaocao." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
Bai Banxia was choked and speechless. Well, she used to always say that the old lady doted on her father too much. Now seeing how much she dotes on Xiaocao, it turns out that she still loves her own children.
Finally, Saburo shouted to stop, and all the children came to the ground, all of them very tired.
"It's not like we persisted. Xiaocao, you're not too good either." A boy said proudly.
Xiaocao squeezed her pink fist and said, "I'm not great, but I will work hard!"
Only with competition can progress be achieved. Bai Banxia thinks this is not bad, and Xiaocao has more contact with peers, and will gradually make friends.
The morning class was over. Bai Banxia pretended to be coming from home and picked up Xiaocao to go home.
"How was class today?" Bai Banxia asked softly.
Xiaocao said excitedly: "It's very interesting. My husband even praised me because I explained what you said, sister. My husband said it was very good. Sister, you are so awesome!"
Why does Bai Banxia feel that the excitement of the little girl in the family comes more from the fact that her sister is praised?
Bai Banxia touched her head and said: "We, Xiaocao, have tried our best to remember that. Many people cannot remember the truth after hearing it."
Xiaocao nodded vigorously, "I can remember everything my sister said!"
After saying that, she smiled, revealing two small pear dimples, which were particularly cute.
So cute, who wouldn’t want to have a daughter like this?
"What else did the teacher teach?" Bai Banxia asked again.
Xiaocao smiled and said: "I taught you the Chinese character. Sister, you taught me, but I didn't teach it, so I wrote it seriously. This is what my sister said about reviewing the past and learning the new."
"Very good, we Xiaocao still remember to review the past and learn the new. We must respect the teacher and listen carefully to the class." Bai Banxia felt even more relieved.
She was worried before that she had taught Xiaocao a lot of things and that she would be ahead of others during the initiation. Xiaocao might not be interested in learning. Fortunately, Xiaocao was very sensible and easy to learn.
