Chapter 116: A Rare Moment of Peace, Disciplining the Disciple

Ge Yushu followed Xu Dao into the Xu residence.

The Xu family compound was the same as the Ge residence, with almost no big difference. Here, Ge Yushu also saw Xu Lu and A Bao who had gotten up early.

Even Liu had gotten up early and started practicing in the courtyard.

Since A Niang started practicing martial arts, no one in the family got up late.

Xu Dao got up early, and so did A Bao. After getting up early for a long time, they got used to it. Xu Lu got up after A Niang got up.

Usually, Xu Dao taught A Niang martial arts, while Xu Lu and A Bao learned to read and write. In a few months, A Bao would also start martial arts. Now that her studies have paid off, she can practice martial arts and study at the same time in the future.

Xu Dao insisted that it was not enough to practice martial arts without studying. If the mind is unclear, the path is unclear. If there is only martial arts but no wisdom, it is just brute force and cannot go far.

Only with wisdom, knowledge, accumulation, and background can one truly climb to the peak of martial arts and truly pursue the so-called great way of martial arts.

The so-called Tao heart is not as mysterious as you imagine. It's just that you need to understand the truth. After understanding the truth, you need to find your own persistence and goals, and then practice your goals and ideas through practice.

Through continuous thinking, let your ideas and your own practice match each other, and reach a level of mutual complementation and continuous promotion. When you can maintain a spirit of heart no matter when and what you do, you can be considered to have achieved Tao heart.

If you are more talented, you can go a step further and integrate your own ideas into martial arts to create your own martial arts path.

Martial arts, martial arts, martial arts is the surface, Tao is the root!

Tao is also divided into inside and outside. The so-called Tao heart is the way of the heart. This is to seek inward, and what is sought is the essence and heart of man.

The way of heaven and earth is the external way, and seeking this way is to seek outward. Seeking the external way to strengthen the internal way is the essence of practice.

"Hello Aunt Liu, Sister Abao, Sister Xu Lu!" Ge Yushu was well-behaved and greeted them quickly.

"Yushu is here!" This was not the first time Liu had seen this child. This child had been brought here by An for several days, so naturally, he had been brought here several times.

Then Xu Dao arranged him to sit next to Abao.

"How many characters do you know?" Xu Dao asked.

Ge Yushu shook his hand nervously, his tone dry, "Can write names..."

"Oh, I see, illiterate!" Xu Dao nodded.

Ge Yushu: "..."

He still knows a few!

"Learn this first today!" Xu Dao threw a booklet in front of him.

This was what Xu Dao wrote when he taught Xiaomei and Abao to read. He combined the phonetic method he knew with the existing phonetic method in this world to re-create the sound and rhyme. This thing should be called the simplified phonetic method.

This world uses the fanqie method, the reading method, and the word annotation method. Compared with these methods, for beginners, his simplified phonetic method is actually simpler.

Separate the sound and the word as two systems, learn the simple system of sound, and then start with a more complex system from the simple system.

Xu Dao also used this method to re-annotate the books that Abao and his friends read at home, so that they can slowly start to learn to read after being proficient in using the phonetic method.

In the process of reading, they will learn more words, which is a step-by-step process.

In fact, the written language itself is a huge system. Xu Dao did not require them to master the essence of the language and writing through this method. That is wishful thinking. His idea is to let them master the most basic things through the most convenient method. As for higher-level things, they can wait until they have basic literacy before going deep into them.

This method is not better or worse than the method of this world. His method is fast to get started, but the upper limit is also low. However, you can slowly make up for it by yourself in the later stage. The method of teaching knowledge in this world is slow to get started and has a long cycle, but the same content is deeper and broader.

Xu Dao did not think of training them to become literary masters, just enough!

Teaching a person to become a Jinshi and teaching a person to read and write are different methods.

And Abao and his friends will not become Jinshi, and there is no need for that!

Xu Dao first taught Ge Yushu to recognize sounds and rhymes. Phonetic notation also exists in this world, but it is not perfect, and many phonemes are not single, which makes it difficult to popularize. What he taught was optimized and simplified by himself.

Xu Dao taught several times and found that this kid was actually very smart and had a good memory. It turned out that he still needed to be disciplined.

This study lasted until breakfast time.

Xu Dao nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, continue after dinner! Finish learning these within today!"

Ge Yushu is not a child of four or five years old. He has a stronger ability to accept and a better memory. It is not difficult to learn phonetic notation in one day.

Later, it will be enough to further consolidate it through the combination of sound and characters!

Hearing Xu Dao's words, Ge Yushu just nodded, without any opinion, and dared not to have any!

When he was studying just now, he said that he was going to the toilet. Xu Dao's answer to him was: Pull it in your trouser pocket!

Although that was indeed an excuse he made, he dared to be sure that even if he really wanted to go to the toilet, this senior brother would probably let him pull it in his trouser pocket.

What's even more terrifying is that when the senior brother said this, he still had a smile on his face.

At the dinner table, Ge Yushu looked at the food on the table and didn't move.

"Don't you like it? Or are you not hungry?" Xu Dao picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Liu came over at this time and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you?"

Ge Yushu was about to speak immediately, but Xu Dao took the lead: "Eat this, otherwise you'll be hungry!"

"Then... can I go back to eat?" Ge Yushu asked cautiously.

Xu Dao smiled and nodded, "You can go back and ask the master's wife if she will give you food!"

Ge Yushu's face changed, and finally he held up the bowl.

In fact, what to eat is not important, but Xu Dao does not have to make him accept the food he doesn't like, but to figure out his temper.

It is necessary to correct the wrongs!

These seemingly insignificant bits and pieces are what really determine character and habits. As for what he eats and uses after learning from here, it doesn't matter, but here, he must abide by the rules.

Eating at Xu's house is a very serious and solemn matter. As long as no one really can't eat, no matter whether you are hungry or not, you must go to the table.

Maybe they have all been hungry and experienced what it feels like to be hungry.

Ge Yushu was obviously a little uncomfortable. No one served the dishes, no one served, and there were no snacks and cakes on the table.

Those things can be eaten at ordinary times, but they are not allowed to go to the table. This is the rule set by Xu Dao.

No matter how much I like it, I will never violate this rule.

Also, you can leave some food on the plate, but you must finish the food in the bowl. This is also a rule.
