Chapter 3 Self-defeating, clumsy but fate. (Thank you for voting, specially added more)
The birds sang on the tree day after day, the stars and rivers turned, and it was more than a month since Mrs. Wang opened the church.

When the school first started, there were still more than a dozen students.Chattering, so lively.But only in the past month, there were only three or five people left.

Most of them are persuaded by Mrs. Wang to quit. These children are already active, or they are too young to listen.Mr. Wang had no choice but to tell his parents to take the child back first, and send it back when he is older.

Just like this, leaving a way out, the adults of many children were still dissatisfied, and repeatedly begged Master Wang to think more about it.But what kind of temper is Mrs. Wang? If he can bow his head, he won't go back to Shanxi Village.

Now, the old man, all he wants to do is to pick a talented person to win his reputation.Right now I just can't afford to put too much ink on other people.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang is also very dissatisfied with the remaining three or five people.They have no foundation at all, and they are slow to comprehend.What I have taught today, I go home and sleep, and I still don’t know if I ask it in school.

After all, Han Wengong said it well, there is a Bole in the world, and then there is a Chollima.Wang Xianming, you have to cheer up and be strong, a gentleman should not give up on himself.Thinking about my repeated failures in the college exams, no matter how depressed I am, I will continue to teach this book.In case it turns a stone into gold by yourself, it will be a good thing to spread the word in the future.

"Master, Master, is this word pronounced correctly?"

"..."

"Good boy, the word Nianxian, did your master teach it from time to time a few days ago?"

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

Mrs. Wang twitched the corners of her mouth, okay, after all, I taught for a whole day yesterday, so you just memorize the first three words.

"Master, Master..."

Ruler, where is my ruler.Seeing that Master Wang was going to get angry, the children laughed and retreated to their seats.Do you think they are really stupid?It's not just a sentence from you, a sentence from me.Delay some time for the teacher to teach.

These kids are so smart.

The children in the village are more courageous than talented. It may be difficult for you to ask them to sit for a day shaking their heads and memorizing.

Teachers, preaching, accepting karma and solving doubts.Wang Xianming, don't get angry, don't! ! !
After comforting himself in his heart, Master Wang called the children back to their seats and sat down, and recited yesterday's Three Character Classic.

Master Wang was tired of talking, and Chen Heng, who was standing outside the fence and listening, was also puzzled.Didn’t the Three Character Classic be taught yesterday?Why do you have to do it again today?

Holding the soy sauce in his left hand, he stood there shaking his head.I thought I could hear something new today, and I was about to leave.He thought that there was also an old woman standing secretly in the yard, and she had already called out to stop him at this moment.

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

Chen Heng hurriedly stood up straight, saluted and said hello: "Hello, Auntie, I see that the master's teaching today is the same as yesterday, so I feel a little strange."

The old lady was dressed very decently. Although she was a grandma, when she heard Chen Heng's name, her originally stern face stretched into a cloud.

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 Young Master Chen.

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

Two months, I waited for two full months, and finally got this opportunity.

Chen Heng shook his head with a smile. He was born fair and clean, but with such a smile, he also felt somewhat refreshed.It just so happened that the sound of reading aloud came from the school.

"At the beginning of human beings, one's nature is inherently good." There was a head start in the school.

"Sex is similar, but learning is far away." Chen Heng went on to recite, "If you don't teach, your sex will change. The way of teaching is precious to pass on..." I saw that he memorized it faster and faster, and he read "Jade cannot be cut, it cannot be used" in the school.The three lights are the sun, the moon and the stars."

Little people, standing in the sun.He held his head up slightly, and stood with his hands behind his back.The more fluent the confident and high-spirited Chen Heng recited, the more surprised the old woman was, but she didn't wait for her to express this surprise.

"Ergou, what are you doing!!!"

I only heard the roar of a young woman from the other side of the street.With such an airy and familiar tone, Chen Heng was so frightened that he couldn't recite it on the spot, even his tongue began to tie up.

It's broken, Chen Heng remembered, the reason he found to go out this time was to buy soy sauce for the old lady who was cooking.As soon as he turned his head, he saw Mrs. Gu standing at the door of his house with her hips akimbo. There was nothing else to do at the moment, and before he even had time to say hello to the old woman, Chen Hengti slipped the soy sauce and ran home.

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

The closing time of the school is a little earlier than the dinner time.Studying hard, studying hard, can it be called studying without suffering?
After seeing off those cheering children, Wang Xianming dragged his tired body back to the inner hall, and saw the smiling Liu Shi sitting at the table waiting for him.

"Is there any happy event at home today?"

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

"Isn't there a happy event?" Liu took out a wine glass with a smile and filled it for Wang Xianming.

After being married for decades, Wang Xianming has somewhat forgotten when was the last time he was treated this way.Immediately flattered, she stood up subconsciously, and halfway through standing up, realized that the other party was not her father-in-law, and sat down again with a little embarrassment.

"Cough cough." Wang Xianming coughed a few times. Fortunately, old couples and old wives, he has a thick skin and can bear it. "Why is madam so secretive? I don't know where the joy comes from?"

Liu Shi became more playful, and pulled the bad old man in front of him to whisper in his ear.It wasn't until she finished speaking that Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to cry out.

"Ma'am, are you serious?"

"What I saw with my own eyes, how can it be false! You have taught the Three Character Classic for a few days, but you don't know it?"

"Counting today, it's only three days..."

Muttering to himself for a while, Master Wang shook his head as if he couldn't believe it, with a hesitant look on his face.

"Why don't you give him a try tomorrow."

Liu Shi thought of the confident and high-spirited appearance of the immature child under the sun this afternoon, and couldn't help giving advice.

…………

After the roosters in the village crow, the people in Shanxi Village will gradually get out of the room where they rest for the night, and work harder in the fields. Spring plowing is in May, and those fine rice grains are more tender than children.

Chen Yushan and Chen Qi were not immune either, and the two father and son left home early together.As for the second son, Chen Huaijin, he is still with the second aunt.In the past few days, Mrs. Li's body has become heavier and her movements have become more and more inconvenient.Chen Caishan licensed his own prodigal son, and everything was based on his wife's mood.

But they always have breakfast.

With big eyes shining, Chen Heng passed by Gu Shi from time to time until he got annoyed by Gu Shi. He put down the kitchen utensils, waved his hands and patted his youngest son on the back, and complained, "All right, all right, I'll let you deliver food to grandpa."

"Okay, mother."

Chen Heng, who got his wish, nodded quickly.

"You are not allowed to play around outside. The sun is very high at noon, so don't let me see that you are not at home." Mrs. Gu figured it out. The child had been well-behaved since he was a child, and he didn't know what fun happened in the past one or two months. Looking for a reason, he wanted to go out and have a good time.

What can Gu do?I can only comfort myself, whose children in the village are not naughty, and my own children just come later.Fortunately, he never went to the river to play by the well, so he was 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 don't let your mother worry about it." Mrs. Gu waved her hand, signaling this stinky boy to quit quickly, so as not to be upset.

Chen Heng just laughed, and after breakfast in such a good mood, he ran out of the house with the food box.At this time, before it was time for the school to give lectures, Chen Heng was naturally not in a hurry, and wandered leisurely to the edge of the field, waiting for his grandfather and father to finish eating.

When he came back with the food box, the sound of the teacher's class was already heard in the school.

When you pass by, there is no reason not to listen to it.Chen Heng immediately stamped his feet and listened attentively.

"The Master said: To govern with virtue, it is like the North Star, where all the stars live in it."

"The Master said: There are three hundred poems, summed up in one sentence, and there is no evil in thinking."

It's broken, Chen Heng secretly screamed in his heart that it's bad, yesterday he was still teaching the Three Character Classic, why did he skip to the Analects today?No wonder you, an old man, don't know how to teach students. What you teach here is something that flies into the sky and escapes from the ground. You have a hammer on the left and a stick on the right.

But you still have to learn, and what you learn is what you earn.Chen Heng hurriedly picked up the branches prepared in advance on the ground, and painted on the mud.This is the ability he learned from studying in his previous life. The horizontal and vertical triangles and circles he drew are all used as shorthand on weekdays.

He was very happy to steal his teacher, and Mrs. Liu in the house noticed the figure outside the fence, walked quickly to the front of the school, and took a look at Mrs. Wang from a distance.

The husband and wife bonded, Master Wang signaled the boys to continue reciting, and he quietly walked out of the school, all the way to the outside of the fence, and saw little Chen Heng squatting on the ground writing and drawing.

"Xiaowa, what are you doing?"

His sudden utterance startled Chen Heng who was concentrating on it. When he looked up, he saw Mrs. Wang's calm and prestige face.Chen Heng got up quickly, wiped off the dust from his hands, and saluted: "Master is good."

Master Wang nodded, he didn't continue to speak, but silently looked at the prodigy in the lady's mouth.The clean little face looks delicate, and it is indeed a bit special.

However, Chen Heng didn't know what his eyes meant. Seeing the opportunity to study in front of him, he simply gritted his teeth and said frankly: "I was memorizing what I read in class."

It's exactly what I want, Mr. Wang couldn't help touching the goat's whiskers, and said calmly, "Then I'm going to test you, how much do you remember? If you can't memorize it well, don't come to eavesdrop in the future."

Mrs. Wang's bluffing and scaring did not make Chen Heng panic.In his life, perhaps because he was still young, he could memorize everything very quickly and very firmly. When Chen Heng discovered this, he was secretly amazed.

He sighed softly, took a last look at the marks he had made on the ground, and then picked up his foot to wipe off all the patterns.He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally said:

"The Master said: To govern with virtue, it is like the North Star, where all the stars live in it."

"The Master said: There are three hundred poems, summed up in one sentence, and there is no evil in thinking."

"..."

"...Etiquette is polite, shameful and dignified. The Master said: When I am ten, I am determined to learn; at thirty, I stand up; at forty, I am not confused; at fifty, I know the destiny;

Recited here in one breath, Chen Heng thought about it for a while, and after several confirmations, he was a little frustrated and said: "I won't remember it later."

When Chen Heng said he was disappointed, Mrs. Wang was horrified. Of course he knew why Chen Heng didn't remember.Because I appeared when I was reading this in the school, interrupting the other party's eavesdropping.

"I don't know if the master will be satisfied. Will the boy still come to eavesdrop in the future?"

Chen Heng thought carefully and asked carefully.

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 Beggar Mountain."

"It's the elders in the family."

"Go back." Master Wang waved his hand, turned and left without making any comments. "Don't come to eavesdrop in the future."

No, I’ve already recited it to this point, and you’re still not satisfied.Chen Heng was also dumbfounded, and couldn't tell what was wrong with him for a while. Could it be that Master Wang didn't like him?What can I do, he is the only teacher in the village.

Chen Heng on the other side returned home feeling very disappointed, and was puzzled by Mrs. Gu, how could he go out so happily, and be so pissed when he came back, she couldn't understand the child's current temper.

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

Can't think of it, can't think of it.I was wandering half of my body, I thought it was because of my bad luck and ill-fated fate.I didn't expect to meet Maxima today, hahahahahahahaha.

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