Chapter 279

Probably because there were no oil lamps at home before, those children were very self-conscious. They packed up and nestled on the bed early, but they didn’t fall asleep. The dinner was delicious, with bread and meat, and it was said that the fish was stewed deliciously, but there were too many thorns. Of course, some people discussed that the eldest lady was beautiful, just like the empress in the New Year pictures.

Luo Tiandu listened outside for half a day, thinking it was funny, then the sound in the room gradually became quieter, and after a while, he remembered the sound of sound sleep one after another, occasionally mixed with the sound of swatting mosquitoes.There are many mountains and trees here, and there are many mosquitoes. It's autumn, and there are still mosquitoes buzzing around when you sleep at night.

Luo Tian thought to himself, let's ask Carpenter Wu to nail a screen door tomorrow, or else he won't be able to sleep well and lack energy, which will affect his study the next day.She spent so much effort, if she can't cultivate a few good shopkeepers, she will be laughed at to death.

There are a few more elementary school students living in the house, and it is much more lively. The enlightenment books are all taught by Qin Zhubo and Luo Baisu. If they are busy, Old Man Gan and Old Man Wu will occasionally take over, and Luo Tiandu is Take a clear calculation class every other day.These children have poor foundations, even worse than Luo Mingdu and Changhui back then. Moreover, these children are used to being wild and have never touched books. There is already a great ability to restrain trouble. Of course, there is also a reason because the lecturers are Luo Baisu and Qin Zhubo, who are officials. These children are more or less afraid and dare not be presumptuous. obedient.

Luo Tian thought clearly, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on them, so as not to make them feel tired of studying. After finishing the lectures every day and assigning homework for review, let them spend the rest of the time freely. Just complete the assignments.

Those younger ones are fine, they mutter a few words every day, and play around after class. Those who are a little older, I guess the adults in the family have told them to do it, and they can help with it from time to time Little chores, such as picking up some firewood when going out for a walk, and cleaning the yard with a broom when resting, I think they are very familiar with it at home, and they don't need to be told, and they will soon Well done, Luo Tiandu felt a subtle sense of guilt about employing child labor.

Those elementary school students who live in the county government probably told the adults at home when they returned home what delicious food they ate at the grandfather’s house. The adults in the family also felt embarrassed when they knew that the grandfather not only taught the children to read, but also served meals. , When I came back the second time, I put a bag of grain in a rice bag and asked the elementary school students to carry it back, which was regarded as the food handed over.

Luo Tiandu was not polite, and accepted them all. After all, she didn't study for a day or two. Although her family could afford it, but there were so many students, and there were also day students. ,So much the better.

Qin Zhubo taught three-character classics and poems for a month, and when he knew a few characters, Luo Tiandu began to teach clear arithmetic.

Her lectures are different from others, she does not sit honestly, she speaks standing up, and there is a big board in front of it, which is made by old man Wu, it is planed flat, and it does not grind your hands at all.Luo Tiandu took a charcoal pencil and wrote stroke by stroke on the wooden board.

She doesn't need a textbook to teach calculations. She compiled a set of textbooks, which are easy to understand. Those elementary school students who haven't learned it don't think much of it, but Old Carpenter Gan and others think it's very fresh and interesting. They often move small benches. Come here, mix among a group of little black monkeys, and become old students. Among them, old man Wu is the most dedicated. Sometimes after class, he even drags Luo Tiandu to learn such things as Arabic numerals.

Luo Tian felt that Old Man Wu was just an old pedant, and he was quite patient at the beginning, but later he couldn't help but turn Old Man Wu into a hundred thousand whys, and asked her why the first was [-], the second was [-], and the eight was in two circles vertically. Stacked instead of two circles lined up horizontally, how did she come up with it, why can't it be replaced by other symbols, etc. A series of strange questions.

"I also learned this way, why are there so many?" Luo Tian was at a loss for words, his eyebrows were raised upright, and said angrily, "I said, are you still learning or not?"

"Study, of course you have to learn, why don't you learn?" Seeing that she was angry, old man Wu stopped his mouth and finally stopped asking why.

Just kidding, these circles and bends are really convenient when you learn how to draw pictures, and you are a fool if you don’t learn.

Luo Tian was so annoyed by him that he added an additional craftsman class, except for old man Liu who was busy with his precious experimental field, and old man Gan and old man Wu, and even Dr. A crafts class will be held in three days to teach these children some craftsmen's crafts.

Although the status of craftsmen is low in this era, Luo Tiandu has always believed that craftsmen, technicians, and science and technology are the foundation of a country's prosperity and strength. How about every innovation in production tool production technology can bring about changes in social production?Such as ironware, such as papermaking, not to mention the invention and application of modern steam engines.

These days is the world of scholars, no matter how good the craftsmen are, and no matter how much they contribute to the country and society, they are still three points lower when they meet people. Even the farmers are more confident than them. This is a social ill, and Luo Tiandu just wants to change it. Can't be changed.

However, no matter what age, skilled craftsmen can easily earn a living. Luo Tian also knows that not all of these children like to read or can read, and if they learn more crafts, they will have more paths in the future.

This was originally just a plan she came up with to get rid of old man Wu's entanglement, but unexpectedly she found two good seedlings. There was a skinny little girl who was so stupid when Luo Tiandu taught him arithmetic. It took several days to teach her to count from one to ten. Luo Tian was so anxious that he wanted to slap her palm several times. She could remember what the doctor had said, and she could draw inferences from one instance to another. She was so happy that Doctor You, who didn't plan to accept apprentices, made an exception and accepted such an extra female apprentice.

Luo Tian was also attending Dr. You's medical science class. She felt that she was no match for that little girl, but she had a special status, and Dr. You liked her. Although she was not the best at learning, Dr. You often Give her a small lesson, or when she pays attention to her homework, she will be no better than a little girl as an adult, and she will probably be laughed to death if she speaks out.

The primary school students also thought it was very fresh. Luo Tiandu was their teacher, and he actually attended class with them. Even the most mischievous ones didn't dare to make trouble when Dr. You was lecturing, they just winked at each other and acted strangely.

With things busy, the days passed quickly, and autumn passed quickly amidst the sound of children reading books.

Now Luo Tiandu has found a new thing to do, except for the clear calculation class that must be taken every two days, she spends most of her time helping Dr. You in the pharmacy, and now she has recognized twenty or thirty kinds of common medicines. I am familiar with medicinal herbs and their medicinal properties, and I can even recite the prescriptions for curing diseases better, but I can’t feel the pulse, and I can’t treat people. This is helpless. Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. Memorizing a few prescriptions by rote is enough, but it depends on years of accumulation.

Fortunately, Luo Tiandu never thought that she would become a doctor. She suddenly had the urge to study medicine with Dr. You because she was worried about Luo Mingdu's health. It will be much better if she knows a little bit about pharmacology. She has a sense of accomplishment after learning this in a few months.

"Uncle You, it's getting late, I'm going back first, does it matter if you are here alone? Do you want me to let Ding Wu stay to be your companion?" Luo Tiandu helped Old Man You sort out the medicinal materials for the day, In the evening, Fang sent Ding Wu over to tell her to go back for dinner, and brought food for Old Man You by the way.

Although he has not formally apprenticed as a teacher, Luo Tiandu now spends almost all day in the pharmacy, and he can be regarded as half of his apprentice. Luo Tiandu wanted him to go to the county government office to eat, but this old man is very weird, and he would rather stay in bed. In this shop, one person is desolate, unwilling to go to the county office to join in the fun, occasionally Luo Tian talks a lot, and he thinks she is too long-winded, Luo Tian tried to persuade her twice, and then stopped talking.

Old man You waved his hand and said, "You all go back, I feel more comfortable by myself."

After finishing speaking, Luo Tiandu didn't care about it, opened the food box, took out the food inside, took the chopsticks and ate by himself.

Luo Tian turned around resentfully, and was about to go back. When he reached the door, he saw him sitting at the table alone. There was no one serving tea and water beside him. Burn more pots of charcoal fire, wait for the moisture in the room to go before going to bed, don’t be reluctant to part with charcoal, if you don’t have it, I’ll ask someone to burn it and bring it to you.”

"Understood, you go back quickly, you're so long-winded." Old Man You said impatiently.

Luo Tian was choked by him, and left him alone, angrily left. Halfway, he remembered and said to Ding Wu: "Remember to tell Cheng Qing tomorrow, let him carry a bag of black charcoal to the pharmacy. go inside."

Ding Wu responded with a smile.

The pharmacy was not far from the county government office. Back then, all the people in the county town left and the shop was abandoned. Luo Baisu specially chose a shop for Dr. You not far from the county government office and facing the street, in order to take care of him.When Luo Tiandu returned to the county government office, he saw a carriage parked at the gate of the county government office.

"Who's here?" She asked Ding Wu suspiciously.

Ding Wu shook his head: "I don't know, there was no one at home when I came."

After Luo Tian entered the gate, he saw a thin young man standing on the corridor, talking to Cheng Qing with a smile on his face.

Seeing that person, Luo Tian's eyes lit up, and he rushed over, shouting loudly: "Brother Jiang Xia, are you here?"
