take a break

Encouragement: "Come on!"

Li Xuesheng followed Shen Yixuan into the principal's office and found Wu Jianguo sitting in front of the desk staring at him.

This is a kind old man over half a century old, with a strong bookish look on his body.

"Little friend, how many years have you practiced calligraphy?" Wu Jianguo's voice was like a bell.

Li Xuesheng didn't expect Wu Jianghui to ask about calligraphy, he was slightly surprised, but he still replied: "Six years."

In fact, he has been practicing calligraphy for more than [-] years in two lifetimes.

"I heard that the financial conditions in your orphanage are very poor. Can you afford a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

"The writing brushes are made by ourselves with rabbit fur and wool. We usually just dip them in water to practice on the ground and walls. We don't add ink to the pens, and we only practice on the finished homework."

Upon hearing Li Xuesheng's words, Shen Yixuan felt pity in his heart.

His father was the head of the US office of a large foreign trade company in China. He moved to New York with his parents since he was a child, and his family was well-off.

He had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he never felt the taste of poverty.

"Have you ever used regular pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" Wu Jianguo asked.

"No." Li Xuesheng shook his head.

Wu Jianguo stood up and walked towards a long table covered with rice paper.

He sharpened the ink, picked up a Chinese regular script Langhao pen, and dipped it in the ink.

He looked up at Li Xuesheng who had been standing there, and said, "Come here, write a few words for me."

Li Xuesheng moved a wooden chair to the table, climbed up on the chair and knelt down, and then took the brush from Wu Jianguo's hand.

On the inkstone, he brushed gently from left to right along the direction of the brush tube, and the brush and the inkstone surface were at an angle of 15 degrees.

While spitting ink, he was brewing, and then wrote the eight words on the paper, "The sea is tolerant to all rivers, but it is big".

Li Xuesheng's brushwork is vigorous and straight, the strokes are square and neat, and the structure is cheerful and vigorous. It is different from the pen script on the test paper, but it is equally powerful.

Looking at this calligraphy work with broad atmosphere and profound connotation, Wu Jianguo and Shen Yixuan's eyes shone with a strange light.

The same thought flashed in the minds of the two—is this the word of an 8-year-old child?It's incredible!

"Are you reminding me?" Wu Jianguo looked at Li Xuesheng kindly and smiled, "Don't worry, I will 'recruit' talents without sticking to one pattern!"

Li Xuesheng looked sideways at Wu Jianguo, a pleasant smile slowly bloomed on his delicate little face with a mole of tears.

Shen Yixuan stared at Li Xuesheng's smiling face, and vaguely saw the bright spring scenery in March and the delicate peach blossoms on the branches.

Wu Jianguo glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and said to Shen Yixuan and Li Xuesheng, "It's time for dinner. The two of you come with me and have dinner together."

"My brother is still waiting for me in the classroom." Li Xuesheng wondered.

Wu Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it Chen Shuhua?"

Li Xuesheng nodded.

"Tell him to come over for dinner." Wu Jianguo ordered, "You wait for me downstairs."

Li Xuesheng nodded, turned his head and nodded to Shen Yixuan, and then walked out quickly.

Seeing that the door was gently closed, Wu Jianguo sighed: "This kid is really amazing, with a bright future! Xiao Shen, I will hand him over to you, and you will train him well. Our school must take the college entrance examination three years later. A provincial champion!"

Shen Yixuan nodded in agreement, deeply feeling the heavy responsibility.

He came all the way to China, hoping to reform China's current education system and improve traditional education methods.

However, he raised his arms and called out, but there were very few people who responded.

In Chinese schools, what they value is the enrollment rate, the number of people who are admitted to famous universities, and the number of champions.

School leaders are unwilling to accept Western educational theories, and dare not make fun of the school's enrollment rate.

Occasionally, some schools are willing to let him conduct educational experiments, but dare not give him a position with real power.

Shen Yixuan returned home full of ambitions, but hit a wall everywhere.

He searched all the way from big cities like Beijing and Shanghai to a small city like H City, and finally found a school leader who was willing to give him real power and let him do it.

However, the enrollment rate is still stuck on Sun Wukong's head like a tight headband on his head, so he has to compromise and be cautious.

The author has something to say: update at 4:16 pm on June 6.

I have a question: why doesn't everyone leave a message?Is it because my novels are so boring that everyone has nothing to say? :(

11. Infer...

Riding a black Santana, Wu Jianguo and his party came to the famous Huaiyang restaurant in H City - Huaiyang Mansion.

The decoration of Huaiyang Mansion is antique, and the waiters are all dressed in blue cheongsam.

The sound of the dulcimer is like a trickle, gurgling endlessly, making people seem to see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers and the charming natural scenery.

After taking his seat in the quiet "Bamboo Pavilion", Wu Jianguo did not read the menu, but skillfully reported the names of several Huaiyang special dishes, and ordered the waiter to serve them as soon as possible.

The four chatted while drinking chrysanthemum tea.

"I've been teaching for half my life, and this is the first time I've met a 'prodigy'." Wu Jianguo said with emotion, "Shuhua, hasn't Xuesheng been particularly smart since he was a child?"

"Yeah." Chen Shuhua nodded and said, "When I picked him up from the snow, he was only 8 months old. Although he can't speak, he can understand other people's words and communicate with you with his eyes."

"You picked up Xuesheng?" Wu Jianguo asked in surprise.

"Well. Son preference is very serious in our rural areas. Girls are often thrown away after they are born, and then the villagers pick them up and send them to orphanages." Chen Shuhua explained.

"Isn't Xuesheng a boy?" Wu Jianguo asked puzzled, "Are his parents willing to lose him?"

"We all found it very strange. At first we thought he was disabled, but later found that he was healthy. I don't know why he was thrown away." Chen Shuhua said, "The dean once told me, 'Maybe his parents are in a hurry. I'm looking for him', and went to the police station to report the case. However, this matter was settled later, and Xuesheng settled in the orphanage."

"What was his condition when you picked him up in the snow?" Wu Jianguo asked.

"His face and body were covered with snow, his face was blue from the cold, and his cry was as weak as that of a kitten. I was really afraid that he would die, so I hugged him and ran all the way." Chen Shuhua said with lingering fear, " It's okay, he's alive."

Wu Jianguo frowned and thought for a while, then sighed: "So Xuesheng was probably abducted by human traffickers and thrown away. These conscienceless guys really should be shot!"

Chen Shuhua's eyes widened in surprise.

He thought about what happened back then, and suddenly felt that Wu Jianguo's analysis was extremely reasonable.

"Xuesheng..." Chen Shuhua stared at Li Xuesheng who was sitting opposite him, and said happily, "You were not thrown away by your parents, that's great!"

"It doesn't matter who I was thrown away by, it doesn't matter. There are so many people, it's too difficult to find someone!" Li Xuesheng said calmly, "After so many years, my parents must have given birth to someone else. Children. I don't want to disturb their lives."

Shen Yixuan silently watched Li Xuesheng's calm little face, and could vaguely see some vicissitudes.

There was a pain in his heart, and a heart of pity and love suddenly arose.

This child is too precocious and sensible, which makes people feel distressed!

"Shuhua, why did you enter the orphanage?" Wu Jianguo turned his gaze to Chen Shuhua and asked.

"My parents were working at a construction site and were crushed to death by a collapsed wall. My grandma died in a panic when she heard the news. I was only 4 years old and had no relatives, so I had to go to an orphanage."

Speaking of what happened back then, Chen Shuhua was no longer sad.

He felt very happy to have Li Xuesheng by his side all these years.

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters, life is impermanent!" Wu Jianguo sighed heavily, and encouraged, "You are all good boys, and you will definitely succeed in the future!"

Chen Shuhua and Li Xuesheng looked at each other silently, seeing firmness in each other's eyes.

Cold dishes and hot dishes were served one after another. Wu Jianguo picked up his chopsticks and warmly greeted everyone to eat.

After two generations, Li Xuesheng ate authentic Huaiyang cuisine for the first time.

He likes the fresh, mild, slightly sweet taste.

"This 'Pingqiao Tofu' is a special dish in your town." Wu Jianguo pointed to a bowl of steaming tofu soup and said, "Come on, try it and see if it's authentic."

Li Xuesheng laughed secretly, thinking: "Principal Wu, you really don't understand our plight. Where have we eaten authentic 'Pingqiao Tofu'!"

After eating for a while, Shen Yixuan said: "Xuesheng, if you are in a hurry to go to class, you can go to class one (1) tomorrow morning to listen to the lecture. Because you are a transfer class, your student number can only be ranked at the end, which is No. 65 .

"Tomorrow morning, I will ask the school's logistics office to arrange a dormitory for you, and you can move in at noon. You don't have to worry about all expenses. You are the same as Shuhua, all free of charge, and there is a 500 yuan subsidy every year. Tomorrow, I will transfer The money is in your hands."

"Can I live in the same dormitory with Chen Shuhua?" Li Xuesheng asked.

"I'll let the logistics department take a look and try to let the two of you live together." Shen Yixuan said, "If it's inconvenient, you can wait for half a year. Our school will re-segregate classes according to the ranking of the final exam every six months. As long as the two of you are in the same One class can be assigned to the same dormitory.”

Li Xuesheng nodded and thought to himself: "This school really puts grades first! Adjusting classes every six months is not too much trouble!"

"I'll go to school tomorrow morning." Li Xuesheng said.

"Okay." Shen Yixuan nodded and said, "You go to the vice principal's office at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning to find me, and I will introduce you to the head teacher of Class One (1) in Senior One."

Wu Jianguo was very interested in talking, and he told everyone about his going to the mountains and going to the countryside
