Chapter 599: Li Zixi and Zhang Yi
As time went by, the temperature in the mountains was getting higher and higher, and the physical consumption was gradually increasing, but Xu Qingyao's condition was much better later. It was obvious that she had adapted to this temperature, so her pace began to keep up with everyone. Read М
Around nine o'clock in the morning, the group arrived at Tongxiang Village. From the mountain road where they were, they could see some houses and smoke from Tongxiang Village. Most of the houses in the village were made of wood. In this era, even the houses in the village were made of bricks. If Xu Qingyao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard for her to imagine that life in the mountains was so hard.
Yu Huai saw some of Xu Qingyao's thoughts from her expression and said with a smile:
"We have been in this village since we were born, and we have been living like this, so we are almost used to it. After all, most people in the village have never left the mountains until they die, so it is not hard."
Li Yi turned his head and looked at the other side of the village, which was originally a small ancestral hall and was finally converted into a school. It was not clear from here, but it could be distinguished that there was no one inside.
"What's the situation at the school?"
After hearing Li Yi's words, Yu Huai said helplessly:
"I don't know either. Logically, the class should have started now, but the teaching methods of Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang are...very strange!"
Yu Huai was the first villager in Tongxiang Village to come into contact with the outside world, and he had a strong learning ability. He walked around the town in a few days and saw a lot of new things. Among them, in the school in the town, Yu Huai came into contact with the word "teaching method" and found that the teaching methods of teachers Li Zixi and Zhang Yi were obviously different from those of the teachers in the town.
Regarding this issue, Yu Huai once asked the mayor Chen Ruqing. Chen Ruqing is now the honorary principal of Tongxiang Village Primary School. He is very concerned about the children's education, so he secretly went to the village once. After seeing the teaching methods of Li Zixi and Zhang Yi, the young couple, he immediately felt relieved and told Yu Huai not to worry.
Yu Huai didn't understand, so he didn't ask again, because the mayor said not to worry, and the mayor was more educated than himself. Since he said so, Yu Huai was naturally relieved.
That's why we had the conversation just now.
Li Yi didn't know what was going on, but he trusted these two people, so he planned to ask them in the village to see what was going on.
The group carefully came to the village along the dirt road. The village was very quiet now. Generally, the young and strong men in the family had gone to work in the fields at this time, and the women and children were left behind. Xu Qingyao came to the village in the true sense for the first time, so she was very curious.
For many things that she had never seen before, she would humbly ask for advice, especially for the set of tools for weaving straw sandals. It was unimaginable that this kind of straw sandals was very durable and very practical. Every household here would weave straw sandals. This kind of straw sandals would only need to be replaced every ten or eight days, because the mountain road was difficult to walk on, and sometimes they were too worn out and could not be worn.
Otherwise, the feet would be worn out and it would take a long time to recover. In this way, the family would not be able to eat.
After learning these details, Xu Qingyao really understood some things. It seems that the backward living conditions are not due to personal reasons, but because this village has been out of touch with the world for too long.
Think about it, it is not easy for a village without electricity to survive until now.
The group came directly to Yu Huai's home. After Yu Huai put down all his things, he took Xu Qingyao and Li Yi to the school, which was the small ancestral hall in the original village.
Unexpectedly, there was not a single student in the school, but the school was very tidy.
Li Yi said helplessly:
"Is it a holiday today?
We came at the wrong time?"
At this time, a figure came out from behind the house and was stunned when he saw the three people in the classroom.
Li Yi also turned around and saw this person and said with a smile:
"Teacher Zhang, long time no see!"
The figure who came out from behind the house with a broom in his hand was Zhang Yi, one of the female teachers who graduated from Jinyuan College of Arts and Sciences.
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Li Yi to appear here, but then he immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"Boss Li, long time no see! You are..."
Li Yi smiled and said:
"Nothing, let me introduce you, this is my wife's sister, Xu Qingyao, the school gave her a task to do some research in the village, so I came back with her to take a look!"
Zhang Yi suddenly realized, and then said with a smile:
"So that's the case, come on, come in and sit down!"
Li Yi and others found a seat in the classroom and sat down. Then he looked around and said curiously: "Why is there no one in the classroom today?
Where did the children go?
Is it a holiday?"
Zhang Yi leaned the broom in his hand against the door and said with a smile:
"Every week we will take one day for extracurricular teaching. Today, Teacher Li has taken the children out!"
Extracurricular teaching?
Li Yi was immediately interested when he heard this. What does this extracurricular teaching mean?
Zhang Yi explained softly:
"The children in the village are very smart and are used to running around in the mountains every day. If we teach according to the methods in the city, the children will not like it and the effect will naturally not be ideal!"
This is true. Yu Huai couldn't help but nodded. Children like Dalin and Xiaohai are sensible and curious. They will chase the teacher and ask a lot of questions. But to put it bluntly, other children don't really want to learn. , so this requires the teacher to find a way.
"This extracurricular teaching means that the teacher will run around with the children and ask the children for some knowledge about the mountains, so the teaching is mutual..."
After a brief explanation, Li Yi already understood the process of this strange teaching, and had to sigh that Li Zixi and Zhang Yi really had their own methods.
"Then where are they now?"
After hearing Xu Qingyao's words, Zhang Yi said:
"It should be by the river today. Just go along the river and look for it!"
Li Yi nodded and signaled to Zhang Yi that there was no need to send it off, and then Yu Huai led everyone towards the river.
While walking, Li Yi said to Xu Qingyao:
"After you come back, you can go and talk to Zhang Yi. As a teacher here, she should be of great help to you!"
