Lin Shuangshuang praised generously: "Everyone is great, they are all smart and good kids."

"You go down first. The teacher will continue to teach you how to write. You should also study hard."

After the children left, Lin Shuangshuang continued her lecture: "In fact, this is how our ancestors first created Chinese characters."

“Draw corresponding patterns according to the shapes of each object, so that even people who can’t read can understand it at a glance.”

"Everyone should know that before paper and pen were invented, people carved words on bamboo slips."

"But carving on bamboo slips is much more difficult than writing on paper."

"Take this mountain as an example. The horizontal line below can be carved out with just one stroke of the knife, but aren't the bumps and curves above difficult to carve out?"

Everyone in the audience was watching very seriously and thinking about what Lin Shuangshuang said.

"So, the clever ancients thought about whether they could make the mountain pattern simpler, preferably without any curves, and draw it all as straight horizontal and vertical lines."

"So, the arcs on both sides became straight lines, and the middle part also became a straight line, forming the character 山 (mountain) we have today."

"This is the word 'mountain'. Isn't it simple?"

The people in the audience were all stunned as they watched Lin Shuangshuang write the word "mountain" in straight lines on the blackboard. It was... that simple?

It seems that studying is not that difficult, right?

Not to mention the smart kids, even an eighty-year-old lady knows how to write the word "mountain".

"This...this is too simple."

"Is Master Lin lying to us?"

“I actually learned to write?”

"Will I become a scholar in the future?"

"This...can't be done, right?"

The adults were talking about it, gesturing, writing and drawing in the air with their hands.

The children were even more excited, all raising their hands and chattering, "Master, I learned it."

"Master, I have learned it too."

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Shuangshuang turned around and wiped off the pattern and the word "mountain" on the blackboard.

"Now that everyone has learned it, is there anyone willing to go on stage and write it out silently?"

"I, I, I... the master chose me because I can write."

"Master, choose me, choose me."

Lin Shuangshuang randomly selected a few children who raised their hands. Although their writing was crooked, they were indeed correct.

After receiving various compliments from Lin Shuangshuang, the children walked off the stage with pride on their faces.

Next, Lin Shuangshuang used the same method to teach everyone to write the characters "water" and "field".

Until the evening, this unique open class came to a successful conclusion.

The villagers, however, were reluctant to leave for a long time. They stood there and discussed with great interest the three words they had just learned.

The children squatted on the ground with branches and stones, writing and drawing, and their enthusiasm for learning was unprecedentedly high.

After seeing the teaching results of Lin Shuangshuang, the villagers became more determined to let all their children go to school.

Because they know that studying is not that difficult. Even peasants like them whose brains have been rusty all their lives can learn it, let alone the smart and clever kids.

It’s a pity that Lin Shuangshuang only attended one class. I don’t know whether Master Zhao’s teaching was good or not.

"Master Zhao must be a better teacher. Otherwise, Madam Lin can let Xiaochen and Yaomei worship Master Zhao as their teacher?"

"If she can teach better than Master Zhao, then I can teach her myself. Why should I find someone else to teach my own child?"

"Yes, yes, that's right."

"Also, I heard that Master Zhao almost passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. It seems that he was wrongly accused or something. Anyway, Master Zhao is a man of great learning."

"No, no, I heard that Master Zhao was cheated by a rich man's son. The officials protected him and took away his title of No. 1 in the imperial examination..."

"Anyway, it's definitely right to let the kids study with Master Zhao."

"If you are worried, we can come and listen to Master Zhao's class tomorrow when he teaches the children."

"It doesn't cost money anyway. If Master Zhao's teaching is not good enough, we won't let the kids go to school when the course starts next year."

"Yes, I thought so too."

After Lin Shuangshuang returned home, Wen Yunyun looked at her with a smile on her face: "I didn't expect you to teach so well."

"I thought I taught well before, but it turned out that I was just showing off my skills in front of Guan Gong. Have you been laughing at me all the time?"

Lin Shuangshuang said with a smile: "You are a good teacher, what's so funny about this?"

"Everyone has a different teaching style. I can only teach some simple words and sentences. I feel overwhelmed when I see other words."

"How can Miss Wen be as knowledgeable and talented as her?"

Wen Yunyun smiled and said, "Don't tease me. If you ask me to give a lecture in front of the whole village, I will be scared to death and I guarantee I won't be able to say a word."

"Anyway, you're much better than me."

"Okay, okay, I'm awesome, let's stop bragging about each other. I feel embarrassed to listen to you when you're bragging."

Mrs. Wen also smiled and said, "Yun'er is not complimenting you, you teach really well."

"If my naughty grandson could meet a good teacher like you, he wouldn't keep saying he doesn't want to study."

"It is the nature of children to love playing. They hate studying because the learning content is boring. As long as we help them to arouse their interest in learning, find learning methods, and give them more encouragement and praise, I believe every child will be willing to learn."

Madam Wen smiled and said, "Mrs. Lin is right."

"You guys chat, I'm going to go pack my things."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Madam Wen's busy figure and asked, "When do you plan to return to Beijing?"

Wen Yunyun held Lin Shuangshuang's hand and said reluctantly, "Let's do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We have disturbed you long enough."

"Now that I'm out of confinement, it's time for me to go back."

"I heard from my mother that the Li family was confiscated, and Su Mubai was behind it. Although I don't know why he suddenly targeted the Li family, at least they are safe now."

"I will help you keep an eye on Gu Hanzhou after we return to Beijing. I know you are worried about him."

Lin Shuangshuang curled her lips, turned her head away and said hypocritically: "Who is worried about him?"

"We've divorced and are strangers now. Whether he's dead or alive has nothing to do with me."

"You're still being stubborn. Do you think I can't see that you seem to have done something drastic by driving him out of Hegou Village, but you're actually helping him."

"Don't worry, I won't interfere in your affairs. I will only write to let you know if there are special circumstances or if I feel something is wrong."

"You can also be mentally prepared in advance, so that you will know how to deal with it if something really happens."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded and did not refuse.

"After I leave, you have to be careful of the two people next door who have bad intentions. One of them wants to target you, and the other wants to kill you."

Lin Shuangshuang didn't care: "Don't worry, Su Mubai will take part in the imperial examination next spring. He is busy studying in the academy right now and can't spare the time to bother me."

"As for Zhao Linglong, she is just a spoiled young lady. Moreover, she no longer has the status of a princess and can't make any waves at all."
