Chapter 3: Overdoing Things, but Creating Opportunities. (Thanks for Voting, Special

Chapter 3: Self-defeating, but clumsy leads to destiny. (Thank you for voting, specially added)

Birds were chirping in the trees day after day, and the stars were whirling around. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed since Mrs. Wang's opening ceremony.

When the school first started, there were still about a dozen people. The chatter was so lively. But in just one month, there were only three or five people left.

Most of them were persuaded by Mrs. Wang to leave. These children were already at an active age, or they were too young to listen. Mrs. Wang had no choice but to tell her parents to take the child back first and then send him back when he is older.

Even though he left a way out, many of the children's adults were still dissatisfied and repeatedly begged Master Wang to think more about it. But what kind of temper does Master Wang have? If he could lower his head, he would not return to Shanxi Village.

Now, all he wants to do is to pick a talent to give himself a reputation. I really can't afford to put too much ink on other people right now.

Unfortunately, Master Wang was very dissatisfied with the remaining three or five people. Firstly, they have no foundation at all, and secondly, they are slow to understand. What I taught you today, I went home and took a nap, but when I asked about it in class, I still didn’t know anything about it.

After all, Han Wengong said it well, there is a bole in the world, and then there is a thousand-mile horse. Wang Xianming, you must cheer up and be strong. A gentleman must not give up on himself. Thinking about my repeated failures in college examinations, no matter how depressed I felt, I still had to continue teaching this book. If you have the Midas touch and turn it into gold, it will be a good thing to spread the word in the future.

"Master, Master, does this word mean nianbei?"

"..."

"Good boy, this word is called Nian Xian. Master taught me this a few days ago?"

"Master, Master, what is behind the beginning of man?"

Mrs. Wang twitched the corner of her mouth, okay, I taught you all day yesterday, so just remember the first three words.

"Master, Master..."

Ruler, where is my ruler. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was about to get angry, the children laughed and returned to their seats. Do you think they are really stupid? It's not just a word from you or a word from me. Delay the master's teaching time.

These kids are very clever.

The children in the village are more courageous than talented. If you ask them to sit and shake their heads for a whole day, it may be difficult for them to memorize books. If you want them to get a slap in the face, they can go home from school, even if they are very tall.

A teacher is someone who preaches, learns, and resolves doubts. Wang Xianming, you must not be angry, no! ! !

After Mrs. Wang comforted herself in her heart, she called the children back to their seats and recited yesterday's Three Character Sutra.

Master Wang was tired when he spoke, and Chen Heng, who was standing outside the fence and eavesdropped, was also puzzled. Wasn’t this Three Character Sutra taught yesterday? Why do we have to do it again today?

He stood there holding the soy sauce in his left hand and shook his head. I thought I could hear something new today and was about to leave. Then he thought of an old woman standing secretly in the yard, who had already called out to him.

"Xiao Langjun, why are you shaking your head?"

Chen Heng quickly stood up straight, saluted and said hello: "Hello, Auntie, I saw that Master taught me the same thing today, so I felt a little strange."

The old woman was very well-dressed. Although she was a grandmother, her somewhat stern face softened into a cloud when she heard Chen Heng's name.

Look, look, isn't the role of emotional intelligence reflected? Those mud monkeys in Shanxi Village who only know how to climb trees and catch birds, how can they compete with Mr. Chen?

The old woman asked kindly: "Maybe the children haven't learned it yet. Although this Three Character Classic is an enlightenment book, most people still need to study it for half a month before they can..."

Two months, I have been waiting for two whole months, and finally I waited for this opportunity.

Chen Heng smiled and shook his head. He was naturally fair, but with such a smile, he actually felt a bit refreshed. It happened that the sound of reading came from the school.

"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good." This was a trend in the school.

"Natures are similar, habits are far apart." Chen Heng continued to recite, "If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way of teaching is important to pass on..." I saw that he was reciting it faster and faster, and then he read in the school "Jade cannot be used if it is not polished." ", he has carried all the way to 'Three Talents, Heaven and Earth Man' without any hindrance. The three lights are the sun, moon and stars.”

A little person standing in the sun. Hold your head slightly and stand with your hands behind your back. The more fluently the confident and high-spirited Chen Heng recited, the more surprised the old woman was, but she didn't wait for her to express her surprise.

"Ergou, what are you doing!!!"

A young woman's roar was heard from the other end of the street. Such a powerful and familiar tone frightened Chen Heng to the point where he couldn't remember it right away, and even his tongue began to get knotted.

Bad, Chen Heng remembered that the reason he went out this time was to buy soy sauce for the old lady who was cooking. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Mr. Gu standing at the door of his house with her arms akimbo. She was busy with other things at the moment and didn't even have time to say hello to the old woman. Chen Hengti slipped away and ran home.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and bursts of smoke rise.

The school's get out of class ends time is slightly earlier than dinner time. Study hard, study hard, can it be called reading if it’s not hard?

After sending away the cheering children, Wang Xianming dragged his tired body back to the inner hall and saw a smiling Liu sitting at the table waiting for him.

"Is there any happy event at home today?"

Wang Xianming just sat down and pointed to the extraordinarily sumptuous dinner on the table, feeling a little confused.

"It's a happy event." Mrs. Liu took out the wine glass with a smile and filled it for Wang Xianming.

After decades of marriage, Wang Xianming had forgotten the last time he received such treatment. Immediately he was flattered and subconsciously stood up. Halfway through, he realized that the other person was not his father-in-law, so he sat down again with a slight embarrassment.

"Ahem." Wang Xianming coughed a few times, but fortunately, as an old couple, he was thick-skinned and could bear it. "Madam, why are you keeping us in suspense? I wonder where your happiness comes from?"

Liu was in a playful mood and pulled the old man in front of her to whisper to her. Before she finished speaking, Master Wang couldn't wait to call out.

"Madam, are you serious?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false! You have been teaching this Three Character Classic for a few days, don't you know it in your heart?"

"Including today, it's only been three days..."

Mumbling to himself for a while, Master Wang shook his head as if he couldn't believe it, and his face was hesitant.

"Why don't you try him tomorrow?"

Liu thought of the young child under the sun this afternoon, with that confident look, and couldn't help but give an idea.

…………

When the chickens in the village crowed, the people in Shanxi Village would gradually come out of their rooms where they had rested for the night. The more diligent ones would go directly to the fields to work. In May, the spring ploughing was in progress, and the fine rice was more delicate than children.

Chen Gaishan and Chen Qiyi were no exception. The two fathers and sons left home early. As for the second son Chen Huaijin, he was still accompanying his second aunt. In the past few days, Li's body became heavier and more and more inconvenient to move. Chen Gaishan allowed his prodigal son to do everything according to his wife's mood.

But they always have to eat breakfast.

Chen Heng flashed his big eyes and passed by Gu from time to time until Gu was annoyed. He put down the kitchen utensils, waved and patted the youngest son on the back, complaining: "Okay, okay, I'll let you go to deliver food to grandpa later."

"Okay, mother."

Chen Heng, who got what he wanted, nodded quickly.

"Don't play outside. It's hot at noon. Don't let me see you're not at home." Gu Shi also understood. This child had always been well-behaved when he was young. In the past month or two, he didn't know what fun things had happened. He wanted to go out and have fun for a reason.

What can Gu Shi do? He can only comfort himself. Whose children in the village are not naughty? His children just come later. Fortunately, he never goes to the riverside or the well to play. He is smarter than those mud monkeys.

"Mom, don't worry. I promise to be good!"

"If you are really good, you should stay at home honestly and worry less about your mother." Gu Shi waved her hand, signaling this brat to leave quickly, so as not to be upset.

Chen Heng just smiled. After breakfast with this good mood, he ran out of the house with the lunch box. At this time, it was not time for the class in the school, so Chen Heng was naturally not in a hurry. He wandered leisurely to the edge of the field and waited for his grandfather and father to finish eating.

When he came back with the lunch box, the sound of the teacher teaching could be heard in the school.

It's a waste not to listen to what he has just passed by. Chen Heng immediately stopped and listened attentively.

"Confucius said: To govern with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and is surrounded by all the stars."

"Confucius said: The three hundred poems can be summed up in one word: pure thoughts."

It's bad, Chen Heng said in his heart, yesterday he was teaching the Three Character Classic, why did he jump to the Analects today? No wonder you, an old man, can't teach students, what are you teaching are flying and hiding, a hammer on the left and a club on the right.

But you have to learn what you should learn, and you will gain what you learn. Chen Heng hurriedly picked up the branches prepared on the ground and painted on the mud. This is a skill he learned from studying in his previous life. He drew horizontal and vertical triangles and circles, all for daily shorthand.

He was having a great time stealing the teacher's advice. Mrs. Liu in the house noticed the figure outside the fence, walked quickly past the school, and looked at Master Wang from a distance.

The husband and wife were connected by heart. Master Wang signaled the boys to continue reciting, and he quietly walked out of the school and came to the outside of the fence. He saw the little Chen Heng squatting on the ground writing and drawing.

"Little kid, what are you doing?"

His sudden voice startled Chen Heng, who was concentrating on his studies. When he looked up, he saw Master Wang's face, which was intimidating without anger. Chen Heng quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on his hands, and saluted, "Hello, Master."

Master Wang nodded, he didn't continue to speak, but silently looked at the prodigy in the wife's mouth. The clean little face looked handsome, and it was indeed a little special.

Chen Heng didn't know what his gaze meant. Seeing that there might be a chance to study, he simply gritted his teeth and confessed, "I was just memorizing what I read in class."

This is exactly what I want. Master Wang couldn't help but touch his goat beard and said calmly, "Then I want to test you. How much do you remember? If you don't remember well, don't come to eavesdrop in the future."

Master Wang's threats and intimidation didn't make Chen Heng panic. In this life, perhaps because he was still young, he could remember everything quickly and remember it very well. When Chen Heng discovered this, he was secretly surprised.

He just lightly pursed his throat, took a last look at the marks he made on the ground, and then picked up his foot to wipe away all the patterns. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Confucius said: To govern with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and all the stars revolve around it."

"Confucius said: The three hundred poems can be summed up in one word: thoughts are pure."

"..."

"...Unify them with propriety, have shame and standards. Confucius said: At fifteen, I set my heart on learning, at thirty, I stood firm, at forty, I had no doubts, at fifty, I knew the will of heaven, at sixty, my ears were obedient, at seventy, I followed my heart's desire without breaking the rules."

After reciting this in one breath, Chen Heng tilted his ear to think about it, and after confirming it several times, he said with some frustration: "I can't remember the rest."

Chen Heng said that he was disappointed, but Master Wang was shocked. He certainly knew why Chen Heng didn't remember it. Because he appeared when he read this part in the school and interrupted the other party's eavesdropping.

"I wonder if the master is satisfied. Can I come to eavesdrop in the future?"

Chen Heng asked carefully with his mind.

Master Wang was obviously still in a daze. He pointed at Chen Heng for a long time before he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Your grandfather is Chen Gaishan."

"He is the elder in the family."

"You go back." Master Wang waved his hand and turned away without commenting. "Don't come to eavesdrop in the future."

No way, I have recited this, and you are still not satisfied. Chen Heng was also dumbfounded. He couldn't tell what was wrong with him for a while. Could it be that Master Wang looked down on him? What can I do, he is the only teacher in the village.

Chen Heng returned home feeling disappointed, and looked at Gu Shi in confusion. Why did he go out so happily, but come back so listless? She couldn't understand the child's temper now.

On the other side, Master Wang laughed in the school, and the children in the school didn't know what Master was happy about. Master Wang didn't explain, but just laughed to himself.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. I was drifting half of my life, and I thought it was because of my bad luck and bad fate. I didn't expect to meet a good horse today, hahahahahahahaha.

Li Gongming, you wait for me in Taixing County! ! ! !
