Chapter 225 I am under a lot of pressure

Gu Yuhe was just a child of seven or almost eight years old. Although people in ancient times were generally precocious, no matter how precocious a child was, he was still a child.

Their thoughts are very simple. He doesn't understand why his family forces him to study, and doesn't understand why his family only wants him to study.

He only knew that he was under great pressure and he was almost out of breath.

Gu Jiayue believed that there were many people in the entire school who shared the same idea as Gu Yuhe.

After all, studying is something outside of their life plans.

Unlike modern children, who begin prenatal education before birth and are nurtured and educated by their parents from the moment they are born, they attend nursery school at one, kindergarten at three, and elementary school at six. In their minds, the idea that education is the way of life has already been ingrained.

Even so, many children can't handle the pressure, and they collapse, become depressed, and then become tired of school and rebel. Many even lose their composure and commit suicide.

Gu Jiayue has seen too many children like this. She understands them and also understands Gu Yuhe.

They bear many expectations that they should not bear at their age. Therefore, Gu Jiayue's teaching principle has always been to combine education with entertainment.

But she is short on time and has a lot of work to do. She is not sure whether the children in the school will be able to come to school next year, or how many of them will be able to attend. So she wants to teach more, teach more, so that even if they don't come next year, their future will be better.

This neglects the mental health of children.

She seemed to have put the cart before the horse, so she felt she needed to review and reflect.

The silly boy Gu Yuhe moved his legs very fast, with his head lowered, and rushed forward without caring whether there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

Gu Jiayue felt that she had used up all her strength to run forward, but still couldn't catch up with him.

"Yuhe, Yuhe, stop right there, let's talk."

Hearing Gu Jiayue's shout, Gu Yuhe ran even faster. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Gu Jiayue was a little anxious and ran faster.

Gu Jiayue hadn't expected such a thing today. She was wearing a pair of light embroidered shoes, and running on the bumpy road hurt her feet.

But Gu Jiayue didn't dare to stop, for she was afraid that Gu Yuhe would do something stupid because he couldn't think straight.

"ah!"

Gu Jiayue wasn't paying attention and stepped on a moving stone and fell to the side.

"Hiss~" She looked down at her right leg, which quickly became red and swollen. It hurt a lot when she touched it lightly.

It must have been twisted.

She looked around and realized that she had already run out of the village while chasing Gu Yuhe. If she walked a little further, she would reach the river.

The most dangerous time is when the river is rushing.

Gu Jiayue endured the pain and stood up, wanting to move forward, but the slightest movement caused piercing pain.

But she didn't dare linger here any longer.

She screamed so loudly just now, if Gu Yuhe heard it, he would definitely run back.

But he didn't run back, which meant that he was very far away from her, so far that he couldn't hear any sound.

Gu Jiayue looked around and saw a half-broken branch on the side of the road.

She slowly moved over, picked up a branch on the ground and tried it out, and it happened to be usable as a crutch.

Holding on to the tree branch, she struggled to move forward.

After going around a few bends, when Gu Jiayue was about to give up, she finally found Gu Yuhe under a big rock by the river.

And there was an unexpected person next to him.

Shi Jingyuan came to see Jiang Luli a few months ago. I heard that he was his cousin. He is currently teaching children to paint in the school.

Because it is not a core course, each class only has two or three classes per week, so he is quite relaxed.

However, Jiang Luli was very busy every day and had no time to play with him, so he entertained himself in the village.

His favorite place to come is the river in the village, because there are many different kinds of stones and trees, which can easily inspire his inspiration.

He came here so early to check whether the bridge he built three days ago was still intact after being washed by the river for three days.

Then, he saw a little boy squatting by the river crying.

When I walked in, I saw that this was a student from the school. He was also in the second class of the imperial examination, and since there were only two people in the second class, it was very easy to remember.

Shi Jingyuan walked over and squatted beside him, imitating Gu Yuhe's behavior. "Why are you hiding here crying alone?"

Gu Yuhe quickly wiped away his tears. "Master."

I didn't expect that outsiders would see him crying, and his face was a little red.

Shi Jingyuan smiled and didn't ask any further questions. Children also have privacy, and asking questions to the end is a bit annoying.

He stood up and motioned Gu Yuhe to follow him.

The two walked forward about fifty meters, and Gu Yuhe arrived at the shallows of the river where a small bridge was built.

The bridge is not big, no more than two meters long. It is not very high either, about fifty centimeters, half of it is submerged in water and half is exposed.

Gu Yuhe immediately became interested. "Master, did you make this?" He touched the exposed bridge structure in surprise.

Seeing his interest, Shi Jingyuan couldn't help but open up. "Yes, Master, your favorite thing to do is study bridges. My dream is to build a bridge that can withstand wind and rain and still stand!"

He is good-looking to begin with, and when he talks about his ideals, his whole body seems to glow.

Gu Yuhe stared at him blankly. "Master, aren't you going to take the imperial examination?"

Shi Jingyuan shook his head. "No, I don't like studying."

When Gu Yuhe heard this, he felt like he had found a confidant. "Do your family members force you to study? If you say you don't want to study, will they beat you?"

It was easy to guess what the little brat was thinking. When he asked this question, Shi Jingyuan knew why he was hiding here and crying.

It turned out that my family was pushing me too hard.

Alas, another poor child, exactly the same as he was when he was a child.

There is also an excellent older brother or sister at home. If you slack off a little, you will be compared with them.

But he had clearly already started to learn, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not compare to Jiang Luli.

Every time he saw Jiang Luli easily stealing everyone's attention, he couldn't help but think darkly in his heart: I wish there was no Jiang Luli in this world.

So, he did a lot of childish things at that time.

At first Jiang Luli ignored him, but later he became annoyed and suppressed him with force, then threw him into the desert. Only then did he learn his lesson.

So he understood Gu Yuhe very well. "Why not? My dad is so hateful. Every day he sits at the door of my room with a thick cane. If he doesn't hear me reading within three breaths, he rushes in with the cane."

"He was very skilled at beating people. He didn't hit other parts of my body, just my butt and thighs."

Shi Jingyuan used his hands to measure the size of the vine.

Gu Yuhe nodded repeatedly. The teacher was his soulmate. Their experiences were not exactly the same, but they were a one-to-one copy!

He hugged Shi Jingyuan's arm and burst into tears again. "Wow, Master, can you understand me? I'm not ungrateful. I know that my ancestors' graves would be filled with tears if I could study, and I want to study hard and get a good grade. But, but I'm under so much pressure. I don't know how hard I can work to surpass my sister."

"They all say that I am the hope of the Gu family, that the Gu family will rely on me to revitalize the family in the future. But I really can't do it."

Shi Jingyuan patted his back and listened to him quietly. He looked up at Gu Jiayue who was limping after him. He put his finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet.

Gu Jiayue felt relieved when she saw that Gu Yuhe was fine and Shi Jingyuan was still with him.

Seeing Shi Jingyuan's actions, she nodded quickly and took two steps back.

"Yuhe, I understand everything you said. I can understand it, but you forgot a very important issue."
