Father Mavie

Chapter 36 Sunday School (ask for tickets and follow up!!!)
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was gloomy, a huge dark cloud covered the sky over the city of New Rose, and the dull low pressure made people a little breathless. Pedestrians lowered their heads, tightened their collars to block the cold wind, and walked in a hurry Walking by, occasionally looking up at the gloomy sky.

99 Kerr Street, in the courtyard of the Church of Truth, Mrs. Cecil, wearing an apron, tiptoed and hurriedly put away the clothes hanging on the rope. lecture sound.

"The formula of the Pythagorean theorem is very simple, a+b=c, where the two letters a and b refer to the two right-angled sides of a right-angled triangle, and the sum of their squares is equal to the square of the hypotenuse C."

Ma Wei walked back and forth in the middle aisle with the handouts he had prepared in the morning, scanning the surrounding children ranging in age from 9 to 14 years old.

As the simplest geometric equation, the Pythagorean theorem is easy to understand, even some 9-year-old children can understand the meaning inside, especially after they have learned the nine-nine multiplication, it is easier to learn.

"Next, I'll write a few questions on the blackboard, and you guys try to solve them with the formulas you just learned."

Grabbing the chalk, Ma Wei drew a few non-standard right-angled triangles on the blackboard. After marking the requirements of the topic, he turned around and said, "The first three people who answered correctly can get a honey candy as a reward. We can discuss it, but we can't discuss it." Copy other people's answers."

As soon as they heard that there was a reward, the children immediately began to think hard and racked their brains. A few children who had a good relationship whispered and shared their thoughts while calculating formulas on paper.

of course
There are also a few children who are sneaky and don't follow the rules.

Snapped!
The rolled up handouts fell on the heads of some boys sitting in the front row wearing octagonal hats askew.

"Maimati, Amo, Frederick, I have taught you the formulas, please use your brains, and don't copy Sarah's answers whenever you encounter a problem!"

"Father, it's not fair!"

Maimaiti covered his head and muttered, "Sara is smarter than us, she solves problems so fast, we can't possibly eat honey candies!"

"Such a basic question can't reach the level of IQ competition." Ma Wei snorted: "You can't solve it because you don't pay attention at all. You are used to asking Sarah for help when you have something. Maybe it's okay now, but you can wait until the future." , What if Sara is no longer by your side and encounter difficulties? Are the three staring at each other?"

"I usually come up with ideas when encountering difficulties, okay?"

Maimaiti pouted and said, "Sara and the others listen to me!"

"In this case, you should work harder to learn knowledge and protect them, shouldn't you?"

"But. But I'm not good at mathematics."

Maimaiti looked embarrassed: "If it is compared to rolling hoops and playing football, I must be the best."

"Then you have to learn the most basic knowledge. If you can't even count, how can you survive in this society?"

"Father! I figured it out!"

As soon as Ma Wei finished speaking, Sarah stood up, handed over the calculation paper in her hand, and said excitedly: "I am the first!"

"Well, all correct."

Ma Wei fulfilled his promise, took out a piece of honey candy, and rewarded her in public: "You are really talented in mathematics, Sara."

Knowing how to solve the Pythagorean Theorem is actually nothing. What really surprised Mavi is that Sarah has learned all the mathematics courses in elementary school and the first grade of junior high school in just half a day a week in the past three years, and her grades are all the same. The best of the children gets full marks every time. If this is not talent, then what is it?
"Hey hey hey"

Under the envious eyes of other children, Sarah ate the honey candy and said with some embarrassment: "It's the priest, you taught me well."

"I know what level I am. It may be no problem to teach you some basics, but for more advanced knowledge, you still have to go to Oxbridge to learn."

"I can't go to the two universities of Oxbridge." Sarah lowered her head and said, "I'm not a child of a noble family, so I don't have the qualifications."

"Not always."

"Ok?"

Sarah looked up, bewildered.

"Three years ago, the Kingdom of Windsor promulgated the University Reform Law, which broadened the channels for further studies, allowing upper-middle-class children, including dissidents, to enter major public schools. As long as they have excellent grades, they can go to the two universities of Oxbridge. .”

"But then you have to go to a public school before you can get into a university!"

"That's right, but."

Ma Wei smiled and said: "I have a few old friends in Wangdu, and I can ask them to write a recommendation letter for you. In this way, you will have the opportunity to enter the two universities of Oxbridge and study under the really top tutors." gone."

"Really?!"

"Of course it's true, not only you, everyone sitting here today, I will do my best to recommend you to enter top universities with excellent grades! Remember, don't feel inferior because of your status, no one is more noble than anyone else , what they have, you have the same, even more than them!"

Hearing Ma Wei's words, the children's eyes lit up, their cheeks flushed, and they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

This is simply their best chance to change their destiny!
Fat Ju, who was lying on the window sill and taking a nap, was awakened by the sound, raised his eyelids slightly, gave Ma Wei a sideways look, and muttered, "It's really deceptive."

"Meow? Brother, what are you talking about?" Xiao Hei next to him also opened his eyes.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

"Oh"

"Okay, let's go on to class now."

Ma Wei clapped his hands to make everyone quiet, walked to Junia who was sitting at the back, glanced at her calculation paper, and found that
There is not a single number on it, it is all graffiti, which turned out to be the macarons brought back last night.

"What are you eating today, Dad!"

Seeing Ma Wei, Junia hurriedly hid the calculation paper behind her back, turned her head guiltily, and whispered, "Younia is working hard."

"How about the back of the ninety-nine multiplication table?"

"Recite one by one and get one!"

"."

"Really! If you don't believe me, I can recite it to Dad!"

"."

Pursing his lips, Ma Wei was about to speak when he suddenly saw a blue-haired bobcat jumping in from the window, ran to Fat Jue's side quickly, and barked at it a few times.

Immediately afterwards, Fat Ju opened his eyes fiercely, a trace of surprise flashed in his round pupils, and he looked at Ma Wei.

"That's it for today's class."

Ma Wei, who realized what was going on, said loudly: "Everyone go back and review carefully, and integrate the knowledge points learned today. There will be a quiz next week."

“Okay~~~”

The children took their calculation paper and pencils and left the church one after another. After they left, Ma Wei asked, "Fat Ju, what happened?"

"I just received the news that there was an announcement letter from Baron Bill's House of the Rose Thief, and Holmes has already rushed over." Fat Orange said, "But the Sunshine Circus has not yet arrived in New Rose City."
