Chapter 9:

Teacher Tang found out the old textbooks from previous years, put together a set and gave it to Jiang Xiaoman.
These textbooks are all left by previous students. Some of them have been chewed by bookworms and have missing footers, with an unpleasant musty smell, which still does not prevent Teacher Tang from cherishing them as treasures, even looking for them. Put it in a box, and occasionally move it out to bask in the sun.
Children who can go to school do not lack such a set of textbooks, but most of them are children who cannot go to school. Teacher Tang thought it would be good to plant a seed by giving these books to them.
The first-year children have also learned half of the curriculum. Although they all have some very basic knowledge, such as word recognition and counting, Jiang Xiaoman has not learned it and may not be able to keep up. Teacher Tang's intention is not to let her catch up in advance, but to enlighten her and keep her interest in learning.
For Jiang Xiaoman, Teacher Tang intends to enroll with interest instead of forcing her to study. The child is still young, and there is still a period of time before the school age.
After handing the textbook to Jiang Xiaoman, Teacher Tang said, "I'll find a chair for you, and then you will sit outside the classroom and listen. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, don't force it, you can ask me any questions after class. Don't be afraid of trouble."
Jiang Xiaoman was very happy. He jumped a few times, grinned and said, "Thank you Teacher Tang, thank you Teacher Tang."
This child likes to be in touch with novel things and also like to ask questions. Seeing her happy look, Teacher Tang couldn't help but smile, touch her head, and then prepare a chair for her.
After Teacher Tang left, Jiang Xiaoman opened the textbook happily, glanced at it, dumbfounded, closed it again, and looked at it again.
Grandma praised her for being smart, her uncle praised her for being smart, and Teacher Tang also praised her for being smart. Even the system often said that she was the smartest and was the most well-behaved host it had ever brought. Therefore, Jiang Xiaoman has always been very inflated with his IQ. I thought she must understand this small textbook, but she didn't expect...
Wow! ! She actually didn't understand a few words!
She sees the words "points", "candies" and "balance" the most, of which balance is the most sensitive. All of these were learned naturally under the influence of the system.
Jiang Xiaoman grew up so old, most of the knowledge he learned came from systematic professors. I used to like to squat at the door of the classroom and learn a few words while looking at the blackboard, but she also missed the ant nest that she hadn't stabbed in her heart. She did two things with one mind, and missed one lesson. It was strange to recognize it.
She usually listens to the system's eloquence, and she can understand the truth when she tells her, but Jiang Xiaoman still has the first time to recognize and write in a serious way.
She looked at the textbooks and empty notes, dumbfounded. Even the teacher did not listen to what the teacher said in class, obviously she used to like to study with the teacher the most.
Jiang Xiaoman was hit hard, and he burst into tears before he left the school, and the tears flowed down again.
The system comforted: "Host, learning needs to be done step by step. You can't eat fat all at once. You haven't even learned how to walk. How can you run?"
"Does it mean that you can't help it grow?"
"...Well, almost, the host is too young to come to school at this time. Look at the children in the classroom, which one is not older than you?"
Jiang Xiaoman looked at it carefully and found that it was really true.
But she couldn't understand, "Then why does Teacher Tang want me to come to school now?"
The system said: "I don't know, in fact, many times, your human thinking, our system is not very understanding."
Jiang Xiaoman immediately showed the look of the same period, as if he saw himself at the textbook full of words, comforting it: "It's okay, everyone has things that everyone doesn't understand, and sometimes I don't understand what you are thinking."
"……Ok."
After chatting with the system, Jiang Xiaoman felt much better. She sniffed and listened to the teacher again attentively.
This time, her mind became clearer. Basically what the teacher said, she could follow and read along.
I still don't recognize the words.
In the past, Jiang Xiaoman was outside the classroom. When he was bored, he would use a stick to tease the ants, and he would use his ears to listen to the teacher. He didn't know much about the fonts. Now she will pay attention to the font after paying attention, and no longer just jot down simple words.
After a class, she was sweating profusely and strenuously.
Jiang Xiaoman wanted to sleep when he was tired, but he felt that if he just left, Teacher Tang would definitely laugh at her.
It's too shameful to be unable to hold on for a day.
Jiang Xiaoman endured the discomfort and shock, and after a whole day, when school was over, he finally ran in tears.
She tidied up, ran to Teacher Tang's dormitory, and cried when she saw Teacher Tang.
"Teacher Tang, I don't want to come anymore." She has been insisting on it for a day. The teacher won't laugh at her, right?
Teacher Tang didn't say anything, nor was he angry, but squatted down and asked her, "Why is this?"
Jiang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, crying and said, "I, I'm too difficult...I won't. The words in the textbook know me but I don't know it."
Half a semester has been in the first grade, and it is indeed difficult for Jiang Xiaoman to keep up with obstacles.
Teacher Tang's request to her is not to keep up with the progress.
He asked: "Xiaoman, this word is so hard to recognize, do you know why you are asked to come to school?"
Jiang Xiaoman wiped his tears and said earnestly: "Teacher Tang wants to help them grow."
Teacher Tang was taken aback for a moment and laughed.
The more he laughed, the harder Jiang Xiaoman cried, and Teacher Tang managed to stop the laughter. I think that children are smart because they are smart, and the ability to apply what they have learned is really great. After a few days of learning, they still use it.
"It's not a good thing to encourage growth. We should use this as a vigilance instead of doing something like this." Teacher Tang said earnestly, "I asked you to come to school because I want you to discover the joy of learning."
"But studying is not happy at all, I just want to go home and sleep."
"Of course it is not happy to study, but it is very happy to gain knowledge after studying." Teacher Tang gave an example and asked her: "The teacher asked you to motivate the allusion. You answer it. The teacher praises you for being smart. Are you happy?"
"Happy." Jiang Xiaoman nodded ignorantly.
Although when the system was binding, she had been told that she was the smartest and smartest child in town, Jiang Xiaoman was secretly excited about this, but no one knew.
She is the only one who knows she is smart, so what's the point? She is happy only when others boast.
So her happiest thing is to listen to others boast about her smartness.
Teacher Tang continued to persuade him in a persuasive way: "Then in order to be happy, do I have to study harder? Isn't that true? Learning is also fun, but you don't feel it for the time being, so the teacher wants to guide you."
Jiang Xiaoman always understood.
She still struggled with the right finger: "But I'm still young, I'm only three and a half years old. The children in the first grade are all older than me, and I can't keep up. Can't you come again?"
Teacher Tang is very patient and replied: "Three and a half years old is not young. In the city, you can go to kindergarten at your age. When you reach the age of enlightenment, our town does not have this condition. Teachers can only teach in accordance with their aptitude."
It turns out that other children are like her, they are forced to attend classes at a young age.
Jiang Xiaoman felt better at last and stopped crying.
After she calmed down, Teacher Tang continued: "We have a common teacher called Confucius. Confucius said that only interest is the best teacher, and there is no end to the road to knowledge. The teacher forces you to learn, and you If you want to learn, it’s not the same. The teacher can force you to learn, but the teacher wants you to want to learn.

"why?"
Jiang Xiaoman will always have endless questions. Teacher Tang taught these things and didn't want to be systematically. Just let her tell her what to do instead of rude conversion with her simple logic. Jiang Xiaoman couldn't figure it out, so he had to break the casserole and ask.
Teacher Tang continued to explain, but he was not impatient.
"In the future, if the teacher is not by your side to teach you, you can be your own teacher, urge yourself to learn, and can't be slack in order to persevere. The teacher can only teach you to the third grade, and then you will go to school outside, with better teachers, and more A good school. There is no way external conditions, but the key is to stick to the heart."
Jiang Xiaoman asked again: "Why can't Teacher Tang keep teaching me?"
This is a heavy topic, and Teacher Tang doesn't plan to talk to the children.
In the past, the school was set up to the sixth grade. At that time, there were a lot of people, and the nearby villages sent children to school here. It was barely able to make up for the sixth grade. Now there are fewer and fewer people, and there are no upper grades. . After the third grade, I went to study elsewhere.
Teacher Tang smiled and said, "Because my knowledge is limited, I can only teach you to get here, and you have to learn the rest by yourself."
Jiang Xiaoman was dumbfounded.
In her impression, Teacher Tang is a very powerful person. Even grandma's tone became much more gentle when she mentioned Teacher Tang. Grandma asked her to respect the teacher and said that he was the most respected teacher.
Jiang Xiaoman didn't understand what kindness was, but she knew that Teacher Tang was really the gentlest and gentlest person in town. He speaks the truth well and can always explain complicated things in a superficial way. Jiang Xiaoman likes to talk to him.
For example, at this time, Jiang Xiaoman had planned not to come tomorrow, but when Teacher Tang said, she was shaken again.
Jiang Xiaoman was afraid that Teacher Tang would be sad and whispered: "I don't want it, I can learn from Teacher Tang."
Teacher Tang couldn't laugh or cry, thought about it, and stopped struggling with this question.
"Xiao Man, where did you hear the story that Yi Miao helped you last time?"
"I... my friend said it."
Oh, my friend, a child's friend is also a child, so it's no wonder that I don't understand it.
Teacher Tang said: "You have a problem with your understanding. I will tell you it again today. By the way, I will tell you a story. After you finish telling it, you will understand why you have to learn something by yourself."
Jiang Xiaoman likes listening to stories the most: "What story?"
"Teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching people how to fish."
