After a simple rebirth

Chapter 111: Reciting Classical Chinese

Fu Ying was woken up by Xiao Heitan. As expected, she felt very energetic after her nap.

Fu Ying took a notebook and wrote down the date and the classical Chinese text that Xiao Heitan was reciting, and wrote down the parts he missed or got stuck on separately. She didn't interrupt him or give him any eye contact, letting him recite everything by himself.

When he finally finishes reciting, ask him to think about where he made mistakes to deepen his impression. Then show him the notes you wrote down and ask him to recite these sentences again.

I felt that his attitude was serious and there was no big problem, so I let him go out and play for two hours as usual.

Fu Ying continued to read the materials. After sitting for a whole morning, her waist couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't want her butt to get bigger and bigger due to sitting for a long time like in her previous life. So Fu Ying decided to stand and read, put her legs on the railing beside the bed, and stretch her legs while reading.

It’s not that her flexibility is so good, but her calves tend to become thick after standing for a long time, and stretching the legs is also quite comfortable, so when Fu Ying is alone, she likes to stretch her legs.

She alternated between stretching her legs and doing horse stance, reviewing and doing various movements. When Xiao Heitan came back, Fu Ying had returned to a sitting position.

After he came back, Fu Ying assigned him the last task of the day.

"Now you will be given ten minutes to read. After ten minutes, you will write out the classical Chinese texts you memorized this afternoon. When you get them all right, you will have completed your study task for today."

Fu Zhe opened the book in despair. He had no problem reciting it, and he memorized it quickly. But dictation was different. If he made a mistake, he had to rewrite the whole thing again, and his hands were sore.

Fu Ying was not going to teach him the meaning of every piece of classical Chinese. She didn't have enough time to teach him, and he didn't have enough patience to listen.

First, memorize it, write it down, and ensure the test score. This is the most realistic. Secondly, it is best to understand the meaning of the ancient text immediately, but it is not a big problem if you can't. Some things really require the accumulation of time and experience. Maybe he has read more, memorized more other ancient texts, and felt the charm and profound meaning of ancient texts, so he can understand them better.

While Xiao Heitan was reciting classical Chinese texts, Fu Ying put down her materials and opened her notebook to recite junior high school classical Chinese texts.

I haven't memorized these materials for almost two months, so I must have forgotten some of them. This is a good opportunity to rewrite them, review the old and learn the new, and also focus on memorizing the parts that I am not familiar with.

Fu Ying finished writing from memory first, took out two red pens from her pencil case, and then waited for Xiao Heitan to finish writing.

Xiao Heitan also stopped writing after five minutes, and Fu Ying threw her notebook over to him.

"You check mine against the information, and I'll check yours. If you don't recognize something, look at the information. If you make a mistake, mark it with a red pen."

The two began to check each other. Little Heitan was quite familiar with the text, and there were no missing sentences or whole sentences in his recitation, but there were several wrong words. Some were due to homophones, and some were inexplicable, probably due to carelessness.

After the revision, they exchanged them. Fu Ying found that she inevitably made two mistakes in words, which were unpopular sentences. She marked the ancient text and the wrong part and put it aside.

Fu Ying asked Xiao Heitan to read it again and write it down from memory. If there were less than five mistakes, he could just copy the wrong sentences without writing them down from memory.

Fu Ying plans to watch the high school drama "Li Sao". As an old fan of Brother Xizi for almost ten years, Fu Ying has seen "Si Meiren" starring him, but she is not really into dramas and didn't even finish watching the individual cuts.

She had a general idea about Qu Yuan's life, and could sing the song "Li Sao", so she knew some classic lines, but I'm sorry, she really didn't know the complete ancient Chinese text.

You should do what you are supposed to do. In the past, Fu Ying would feel a headache just reading ancient Chinese texts, but she would have no problem reading or memorizing them. Now, Fu Ying, a prospective high school student, has to memorize them, but it is not realistic to memorize them now. She can only read them more and find an opportunity to memorize them thoroughly after she is familiar with them.

When I was studying, I had to thank my past self for studying hard even for self-study exams, so now when I return to my student days I don’t feel irritated or confused.

Fu Ying had read the Chinese language list for high school students. Except for the long and difficult ancient Chinese poems "Li Sao" and "Fu on Afang Palace", which were relatively a waste of energy, Fu Ying had studied the other poems such as "The Story of Guo Tuotuo, a Tree Planter" and "Preface to the Story of an Actor", and she had studied them seriously in the self-study course "College Chinese".

Therefore, after having the basics and foundation, Fu Ying found it easier to learn, could remember better, and had a deeper understanding. This meant that she learned more and took a big step further than others!

Here, Fu Ying read "Li Sao" bit by bit, connecting it with Qu Yuan's life, and trying to understand the meaning of the ancient text.

It's really hard to watch.

Xiao Heitan called her, and Fu Ying saw that he had finished writing, so she took the notebook and circled the wrong ones. In the end, he got stuck and made four mistakes, so Fu Ying asked him to copy the wrong sentences five times.

After Xiao Heitan finished copying, he showed it to Fu Ying. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Fu Ying.

"Cook the rice before you go out. Check the water on the stove. If it boils, pour it into the thermos and replace it with a new one."

"Ah?..." Fu Zhe dragged out the last syllable to express his inner unwillingness.

"You can choose not to cook. I don't have to eat dinner. I can just eat some bread and not cook." Fu Ying said lightly.

"...Okay, I'll go cook rice." Fu Zhe also wanted to say that he wouldn't eat either, but he knew that now he had to work to save his life, not a question of whether to eat or not.

After Xiao Heitan left, Fu Ying was thinking that she should buy herself a watch. Without a tool to tell time, she sometimes couldn't tell what time it was.

It was fine for Fu Ma to go out to help like today, she and Xiao Heitan could just eat whatever they wanted, and it didn't matter what time they cooked. If Fu Ma wanted to come back on time to eat, or go to school in the future, she really couldn't do without a clock.

Next time, if I go out on the street, I’ll see if there’s anything cheaper.

Back to "Li Sao", if you don't understand it the first time, read it several times. Fu Ying has some talent in liberal arts and has a good memory when she is young, but that doesn't mean she has the superpower of remembering everything she sees and understanding its meaning the first time she reads it.

Influenced by her own vision, she does not know how to use and does not really believe in various memory methods.

So she used a combination of stupid methods and talent. She read it several times and with the help of her memory, she could always remember some things.

Finally, Fu Ying was almost out of patience after being tortured by this ancient article and decided to let each other go for the time being.

Go cook.

The bean sprouts bought by Fu Ma are still there. Fu Ying is not very good at cooking, and the taste of the ones she cooks is just average!

I have lived this long, all thanks to other people’s cooking and restaurants.

So stir-fry bean sprouts with snow peas, no matter what combination, as long as it is edible. Then stir-fry potatoes, a classic dish, but she likes to make potato cubes, or potato diced to be more precise, fried until slightly browned and sprinkled with chili powder, Fu Ying loves this.

Fu Zhe was also good at timing meals. He came back when the potatoes were out of the pot, and Fu Ying asked him to serve the rice.

"Second sister, why are you stir-frying bean sprouts with snow peas instead of meat? Isn't stir-fried meat more delicious?" Fu Zhe asked curiously as he brought the rice over.

Fu Ying… “Don’t ask, asking is innovation.”

"Then why do you cut the potatoes so small? Don't you just slice them and fry them?" Fu Zhe was also puzzled when he looked at the potato pieces.

"Potato cubes are easier to fry into a crispy texture. Potato slices will stick together and won't be easy to fry into a crisp. You can try it!" Fu Ying said seriously, taking a spoon to scoop up the potatoes.

Fu Zhe tried it and it was indeed delicious, but he felt something was not right, so he said nothing and just lowered his head to eat.

When we were almost done eating, Fu's mother came back with dirt on her pants. She went straight through the back seat to her room and changed her clothes.

Fu Ying wanted to ask her if she had eaten, but she thought her second aunt would treat her, and it would be awkward not to go to dinner after helping out, so she didn't ask Fu's mother.

After changing her clothes, Fu's mother came over to sit by the stove. Looking at the dishes her children were eating, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you fry the potatoes like this? Why do you fry the snow peas and bean sprouts together?"

"It tastes better this way!" Fu Ying said confidently.

"All you do every day is learn the ways of the Miao people." Fu's mother said speechlessly.

The Miao people always live in the mountains and have their own traditional way of life, so saying that someone is like a Miao is not an insult to her, but it does mean that her behavior habits do not conform to local customs.

Fu Ying is used to it. Her mother always calls her a Miao. Her father even says that he has a Guangdong stomach and is half Guangdong person!
