Chapter 294: Xu Damao's request(2/3)
Xu Damao: "Our Chinese nation has a long civilization. This statement is not bragging."
"From the ancient times, the medieval times, the classical times, the medieval times..."
"Our "Celestial Kingdom" never fails to make a shining appearance!"
"Whether it's about technology, culture, etiquette, military, political system, stability, inheritance, or selection."
"Or hard work, wisdom, and bravery are still contributions to human civilization."
"It's really something we can be proud of. More importantly, we are very lucky!"
"To the east is the ocean, to the west are big mountains and deserts, and to the south are some small, unpopular countries. Only in the north are the nomads who rise from time to time to give us some entertainment."
"But it's much better than other places in the world, not to mention the strength of our culture."
"Naughty foreign compatriots who often "accommodate all rivers and gradually assimilate"."
"When I look at pre-modern history, the number of confrontations with powerful Western civilizations can be counted on one hand, and winning or losing is inconsequential."
"As for the Foot Basin Country? Perhaps in the eyes of ancient China, they would not even regard it as a "little brother", but at most a "little brat"."
“As a national culture with the best inheritance of civilization, Daxia is precisely benefited from such favorable weather, location, and people!”
"This is what we should be most proud of, and it is also the source of the tragedy in our modern history..."
“The location protects us very well, makes us feel safe and comfortable.”
“So we feel very safe, very independent, very self-centered, so we don’t know how to explore and pursue, we don’t know how to reform and innovate, we don’t know how to let go of the old and embrace the new.”
"The geographical location also allows us to be fixed in the "Celestial Kingdom", and time allows us to be fixed in the "conservative"."
"We are seeing Western civilization being baptized by wars one after another."
"Starting over in ruins, unfettered barbaric development."
"Bad things can turn into good things, and good things can turn into bad things..., just like Huainanzi's human teaching, a blessing in disguise can be a blessing in disguise."
"The reason why I ask you to read the General History of the World is not only to let you understand the history of the world."
"It is to let you learn to doubt, question, and think, so as to get rid of the dross and get the essence."
"Mr. Shuren expressed his views in "Using Doctrine" published on June 7, 1934."
At this point, the inspection office also arrived, and Xu Damao asked them to continue competing with music in the afternoon.
He read in the office all afternoon, waiting until the five little ones were about to leave.
Xu Damao came out of the room and pointed out some problems in their adjustment.
On the way home today, the five little ones also fell into rare silence.
Xu Damao's state and his words today shocked them greatly.
In the next few days, Xu Damao kept his word and treated them with a sheep-herding attitude.
If you ask him, he will explain it to you seriously. If you don't ask, he won't care.
But that's not possible if you want to cause trouble, Xiao Hei has been watching them.
There is no fool in the world. The song that Xu Damao taught them was also required by their family to practice well.
But recently, except for Zhou Xiaobai, the other four children are a little unable to sit still.
Moreover, the questions asked to Xu Damao gradually began to diversify.
Various problems came one after another. When Xu Damao did not restrain them, the rebellious age returned to them.
It would be too funny if Xu Damao couldn't handle these little kids.
The result was that during the questioning for several days, Xu Damao was beaten to a pulp.
However, they also learned some new terms, although they were forced on them by Xu Damao, such as mentally handicapped, brain-dead, etc.
The first person who couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere was Zhou Xiaobai, who had never felt that way before.
Now she felt very uncomfortable. One day she finally couldn't bear it anymore and went home to her father to report the situation.
Zhou Xiaobai: "Dad, can you drive away all the other four people?"
"Now my eldest brother doesn't give lectures anymore. He just lets us read the books by ourselves. If we have any questions, we can go to him."
"It's not as good as when I went alone last year. I felt so annoyed when I saw them."
"Oh~ What's going on? Why doesn't Xiao Xu stop teaching?"
"He said he shouldn't impose his ideas on us, so let us read the book ourselves."
"But I feel it's all the fault of the four of them. This didn't happen in the past two years."
….
Zhou Xiaobai was destined to return without success and was on his way to the steel plant the next day.
She brought the five people together and decided to let Xu Damao fulfill his original promise to practice singing.
They were still allowed to study in the morning, and Xu Damao still didn't show up until almost dinner time.
On the way, Yuan Jun first started to ask: "Brother Xu, you promised me a request when you said we would practice the song well. Now that we have practiced it, is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
Since it was agreed upon, the other little ones behind started to make noises.
Xu Damao: "Of course I won't lie to you, but do you really feel that you have practiced well?"
"Although I won't lie to you, my requirements are also very strict."
"If you propose settlement rewards and fail to meet the standards, you will be punished."
"So you think about it carefully and come back to me when you want to receive the reward."
Zhou Xiaobai: "Brother, aren't you being unreasonable? You alone have the final say, so won't we always fail?"
Xu Damao: "Okay, you have learned to question me, which is considered progress. So what do you think we should do?"
Zhou Xiaobai said in an eccentric way: "Brother, how about this? You must fulfill your promise first."
"We will keep working hard. When you feel ready, can we stop?"
Xu Damao also noticed that he hadn't paid much attention to these little guys these days. They were a little bored.
So he said: "If you want to be a free wolf, that's not impossible."
"But if the reward is collected in advance, I will become very strict later."
"You guys should discuss it carefully and come and talk to me carefully."
Xu Damao ignored what they were mumbling behind him.
They were the first to walk into the place where they had lunch today, and no one spoke during the meal.
After dinner, they started again, and Xu Damao listened casually.
It was nothing more than dividing into two rows. One side was led by Yuan Jun, who proposed to punish Xu Damao severely, and everyone went to Lao Mo for dinner.
On the other side, Zhou Xiaobai, the leader, said to Lao Mo that everyone can eat at any time.
But if I don’t eat the pickled fish this time, I don’t know when it will be next time.
Xu Damao shook his head and smiled. After all, his family background is different!
Although he doesn't like eating Russian food, Lao Mo has never been there even once.
The main reason is that queuing up is too annoying, and it’s not a good idea to eat something if you have that time.
Just let them argue in the back, Xu Damao won't wait for them at all.
I went directly back to the office to drink tea. Not long after, I heard the five little ones going to the woods, but they still couldn't convince each other.
When they were about to go home, Xu Damao found out interestingly that they had obviously divided into two small groups.
Yuan Jun, Ning Qiang and Luo Yun are in a group, Zhou Xiaobai and Zhang Haiyang are in a group.
This also shows the gap between families. Of course, family conditions are one aspect, and family education is also another aspect.
This can be seen whether it is the original book or the TV series.
How much influence does family conditions and education have on children's vision and behavior.
Although I noticed it, I still sent them away as usual.
Xu Damao is going to his wife's house today. He has been hanging out for several days.
I'm going to see my wife and children today, so I can send over the medicinal materials needed for this stage of medicinal bath.
The two little guys, Jianjian and Kangkang, are now enjoying benefits that others do not have.
After spending the night at Lou's house that day, Xu Damao came to the inspection office early the next morning.
I don’t know why, but the little ones have united as a front.
Zhou Xiaobai came up and took Xu Damao's arm and said, "Brother, we have agreed that we will have the same pickled fish as last time for lunch today. You can't fool us with inferior products."
Xu Damao: "Defective product? What do you mean?"
Yuan Jun may have some resentment in his heart and directly exposed Zhou Xiaobai.
