Chapter 249: Traveling back from the modern times to the 4th year of the Republic of China

"Then let's make a deal." Yao Rong finally summarized the main points of the whole conversation, "You will be my teacher in the future. What do you think, Teacher Ye?"

Ye Heqi waved his hand quickly: "Mom, don't call me like that, and I am not worthy of the title of teacher."

"There is a saying... A powerful person is a teacher..."

"The phrase is that the wise are the teachers." Ye Heqi explained.

Yao Rong repeated, "The wise are teachers... The way people of culture talk is different from the way people like us talk. I don't call you Teacher Ye for nothing. You have to pay more attention to me and teach me more in the future."

After thinking for a while, Yao Rong asked, "Just start by teaching me to read, okay?"

Ye Heqi's eyes lit up. After recovering her memory, she felt for the first time that she was useful in this era: "Okay, of course no problem."

She didn't dare to say more, but she could still teach her mother to read.

"Then let's pull the hook."

Yao Rong stretched out her hand in a very ceremonial manner.

Ye Heqi's eyes narrowed and she also stretched out her hand.

After pulling the hook, Yao Rong asked Ye Heqi: "Do you want to see Ye Fuguang and other people in the Ye family now?"

Ye Heqi frowned: "No."

"If you don't want to see them, you can pretend to be sick these few days. First get sick for ten days or half a month, and when you can't stand being suffocated in the house, it won't be too late to recover."

Ye Heqi's eyes lit up, it's still possible.

But thinking of Old Madam Ye, Ye Heqi was a little disappointed: "Will my great-grandmother be angry, and then make things difficult for my mother?"

Usually, when Ye Heqi did something wrong, Old Madam Ye would not directly punish Ye Heqi, but Yao Rong often got nothing good from Old Madam Ye.

Yao Rong said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

When Yao Rong left Ye Heqi's room, the system couldn't wait to jump out: [Host, how did you think of letting Ye Heqi be your teacher?]

Yao Rong asked the gardener for a pair of scissors and picked out the gorgeous flowers in the courtyard: "What do you think is the biggest feeling of a person who travels from the modern era to the Republic of China?"

The system hesitated for three seconds and chose to throw the question back: [What is it?]

Yao Rong: "..."

Yao Rong raised his hand, held the branch, and cut off a few branches of begonia: "It's a sense of gap." A

sense of gap.

The system felt that it had opened nine tricks.

One trick was not understood.

[Why don't we discuss it in more detail.]

Yao Rong cut a few more branches of flowers and returned to her room with them.

On the windowsill, the flowers in the vase had already withered and lost all vitality. Yao Rong pulled out all the withered branches and threw them away, and began to arrange the flowers herself.

Hearing the system's words, Yao Rong smiled slightly, and his hands kept moving: "Heqi received more than ten years of education in modern times, and more than ten years of education in the Republic of China."

"There is a gap of more than a hundred years between these two education systems."

"The education a person receives throughout his life will deeply affect her character and shape her personality. Heqi has received two completely different sets of education. Which one do you think she will yearn for more?"

The system finally felt the taste of enlightenment: [She must yearn for the modern one, but she is trapped in the Republic of China one. This is the sense of gap you just mentioned. ]

It took a while, and the vase was finally arranged.

Yao Rong took a step back to distance herself from him, admired the scene carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and put the vase back on the windowsill: "You are right. Her body and soul are completely separated."

"She knows very well that she is the Ye Heqi of the Republic of China, not the modern Ye He. But she lacks a sense of identity and belonging to the Republic of China."

In the original world line, Ye Heqi did not resolve this state of separation until her death.

——Or it should be said that she died in the original world line precisely because she could not resolve this state of separation.

[That's why you let her be your teacher. Is this useful? ] The system still hasn't sorted out the cause and effect relationship inside.

"As a time traveler, there are two choices."

"One is to lie down completely and accept everything."

"The other is to refuse to accept and resist."

"It's hard to say which of these two choices is better or worse, but it's obvious that Heqi chose the latter."

Yao Rong pushed open all the closed windows.

The breeze brought the fragrance of osmanthus into the house, and the begonias on the windowsill swayed in the wind, casting a beautiful silhouette under the sunlight.

"If resistance has always been ineffective, even the bravest people will wonder, is their resistance meaningful? Can their resistance change anything?"

"When she starts to question herself like this, her beliefs will be shaken."

"What I have to do is to help her strengthen her beliefs."

[I understand.]

At this point, the system finally understood.

[So you let Ye Heqi come to teach you, to change you.]

[Then under her "teaching", you will gradually complete the transformation and realize self-salvation.]

[In this way, Ye Heqi will find that her time travel is meaningful. She may not be able to influence the times, but at least, her arrival has changed your life.]

Yao Rong applauded the system: "The analysis is completely correct. System, you have grown and improved."

The system chuckled, but the more it thought about it, the more it felt that this didn't sound like a compliment.

At least not completely.

[However, do we need to make it so troublesome?]

"Yes."

"Because I also need such a reason to change myself."

***

It took some time for Yao Rong to rearrange the room.

The furnishings are still the same, but the house now looks a little more lively.

According to the rules of the Ye family, they had to go to Old Madam Ye's house to have dinner together every night. Yao Rong saw that it was almost time, so she went out and walked to Old Madam Ye's yard.

When she arrived, Old Madam Ye, Madam Ye, and Ye Fuguang had already arrived.

Ye Fuguang looked behind Yao Rong, but didn't see Ye Heqi, and frowned immediately.

Yao Rong said first: "Old Madam, Heqi is not feeling well. She is afraid that her illness will spread to the elders, so she said that she will wait until she is fully recovered before coming to pay her respects to you, so she has been eating alone in her room these days."

Old Madam Ye fiddled with the Buddhist beads on her wrist and smiled faintly: "Her temper is even worse than mine."

But today's matter was just a mess, and Old Madam Ye was too lazy to make more plans.

After dinner, Old Madam Ye was a little tired.

Madam Ye stayed to accompany Madam Ye for a walk to help digestion, while Yao Rong and Ye Fuguang left one after another.

Ye Fuguang just walked out of the hospital gate and saw Yao Rong waiting behind the door, as if he had something to tell him.

As a result, the first sentence Yao Rong said almost made Ye Fuguang stumble.

"When are you going back to Shanghai?"

Ye Fuguang: "... I just came back today, so I have to stay at home for a few more days to accompany my mother and grandmother."

"Oh." Yao Rong responded casually, with a perfunctory tone, "When you want to leave is none of my business, the main thing is when you deliver the newspapers you promised me."

Ye Fuguang's forehead veins jumped.

Those who know that he is asking for old newspapers, those who don't know may think that Yao Rong is asking for debts.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Yao Rong said, "Heqi has been sad for several months because of the new-style school. I want her to be happy sooner."

Ye Fuguang: "..."

His impression of Yao Rong was still that she was taciturn when she first arrived at the Ye Mansion. Even when he brought Wen Cui to the door, she just hugged her daughter and cried silently.

He never expected that Yao Rong's words in private could be sarcastic.

"I have some old books in my study. How about this, I'll ask someone to sort them out and send them to Heqi tomorrow."

Yao Rong was picky, "Old books... Will little girls like to read those old books of yours?"

Ye Fuguang understood the routine, "What do you want?"

Yao Rong said, "Since I came to the Ye Mansion, I have hardly left here, nor have I taken a good look around the city of Beiping. Heqi was also restrained by the old lady and only visited You can only go out when the year comes. When Heqi feels better in a few days, I want to take Heqi out for a walk and let her go to the bookstore to pick out some books she likes. "

Ye Fuguang asked: "You and Heqi have hardly left the Ye Mansion in these years?"

Yao Rong glanced at Ye Fuguang, not giving him any face at all: "You must know what the rules of the Ye Mansion are, what the old lady's temperament is, and what kind of life your mother has lived in these years."

"At that time, Wen Cui stayed in the Ye Mansion for a period of time to raise her baby. As soon as she finished her confinement, she urged you to take her away from the Ye Mansion. Don't you know the reason?"

Ye Fuguang: "...I will communicate with my grandmother."

Yao Rong said: "My requirements are not high. Going out once a month to get some fresh air should be fine."

This is the reason why Yao Rong deliberately stopped Ye Fuguang.

Now that the goal was achieved, Yao Rong left without any reluctance.

After taking two steps outside, she turned back and reminded: "Don't forget to send the old books to Heqi tomorrow."

Ye Fuguang: "..."

***

After an autumn rain, Peking entered autumn.

Ye Heqi slept very comfortably under the new quilt she had changed last night, and she even dreamed of many things from her previous life.

It was not until almost noon that she opened her eyes in a daze.

Staring at the plain bed curtains above her head, Ye Heqi was in a trance for a moment before she realized that she was no longer sleeping on the iron bed in the orphanage, and she was no longer in the modern world.

It was really strange. She had obviously lived here for more than ten years, but why did she dream about her previous life more and more frequently and miss everything about her previous life after her memory was restored?

This was not good.

She could no longer go back to the modern world. The more she thought about it, the more psychologically uncomfortable she would feel.

Ye Heqi patted her face, lifted the quilt and sat up. Thinking of what Yao Rong had told her yesterday, her depressed mood was slightly relieved.

In the next three months, she can do whatever she wants, and she doesn't need to be forced by Old Madam Ye to do things she doesn't like.

Although this kind of happiness is short-lived and will be taken back after the three-month period, it can at least loosen her bonds and allow her to emerge from the water and breathe a sigh of relief.

As the only eldest lady in the Ye family, Ye Heqi has a servant who serves her personally.

She washed up with the help of the servant and was about to have some lunch when she saw the housekeeper coming over with a box of books, saying that they were sent to Ye Heqi by Ye Fuguang.

Ye Heqi raised her eyebrows without even looking at the box of books: "Would he be so kind? These books wouldn't all be all nonsense, such as "Nei Xun", "Nu Lunyu", "Nu Fan Jie Lu" and so on."

The housekeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss, these books are all requested by the madam from the old man, and they are all popular novels on the market in the past few years."

Hearing that these were specially requested by her mother, Ye Heqi's heart warmed, and she said to the housekeeper: "Then put the things down, it's heavy to hold."

After the housekeeper left, Ye Heqi immediately poured out all the books in the box.

Sure enough, they were all novels.

She had never read novels of this era.

But Ye Heqi was not in a hurry. She walked to the desk and rummaged through it, and found the books she used for enlightenment and a new set of unused study books.

She took out all the books in the box, and then put the enlightenment books and the four treasures of the study in it.

Ye Heqi closed the lid of the box, patted the box, and nodded with satisfaction.

A teacher should act like a teacher, for example, before class, prepare textbooks and stationery for students.

When Yao Rong came to find Ye Heqi, Ye Heqi pushed Yao Rong directly to the desk and pointed at the box: "Mom, this is a gift I prepared for you."

Yao Rong asked, "Why is the gift so mysterious?"

Ye Heqi said happily, "It's a gift you can use right away."

"Then I'll open it?"

Ye Heqi nodded, "Open it, open it."

When Yao Rong saw what was in the box, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Teacher Ye is really thoughtful. Thank you, Teacher Ye, this gift is really very practical."

Look, it can be used right away.

Ye Heqi and Yao Rong sat on the same side of the desk, and she started teaching Yao Rong from the most commonly used characters.

At first, Ye Heqi was just reading from the book, but the efficiency was not satisfactory.

Yao Rong guided her in a tone that seemed to complain: "Rote memorization is too difficult. At the end of the day, I can only remember a dozen or twenty words at most."

"Alas, Heqi, is mom really not smart enough?"

Ye Heqi quickly shook her head: "No, mom, don't think so."

Yao Rong had a headache: "Then why can't I learn quickly and well?"

Ye Heqi said firmly: "It's not your problem, mom, then it must be my teaching method that is not good."

"How about this, we'll do this for today, and I'll think about how to improve the teaching plan tonight."

Yao Rong nodded and looked at Ye Heqi with trust: "Heqi, you can definitely think of it. Then mother will go to your great-grandmother's house to have dinner and pay her respects. By the way, are we still having classes tomorrow?"

Ye Heqi said, "Yes. Mother, you should come over tomorrow afternoon as well."

After Yao Rong left, Ye Heqi stared at the enlightenment book in front of her, and suddenly as if she remembered something, she turned her head to look at the pile of novels next to her, and suddenly realized: "I know how to improve my teaching plan."

"I can compile everything mother wants to learn into short stories. This will not only make it easier for her to remember, but also make her learn more easily and interestingly."

Anyway, she was free in the mansion, so Ye Heqi immediately executed what she thought of, and spent the whole night compiling seven or eight short stories.

In fact, if she works harder, she can make up more, but Ye Heqi plans to try the effect tomorrow to see what her mother thinks.

If her mother likes this method, she will continue.

If her mother doesn't like this method, she will think of other ways.

And Yao Rong's feedback is of course -

very good, very good, and it is recommended to increase the efforts.

After getting the affirmation, Ye Heqi paid more and more attention to teaching. She was so busy every day that she didn't even have the heart to read novels.

That day, after class, Yao Rong said to Ye Heqi: "Heqi, you have worked hard these days."

Ye Heqi said: "It's not hard, as long as it helps my mother."

Yao Rong said: "Very helpful, I now recognize more than a hundred words."

Ye Heqi's eyes narrowed, and she was very satisfied with her teaching results in the past few days.

After acknowledging Ye Heqi's efforts, Yao Rong said, "We won't have classes tomorrow."

"Mom, are you going to take a day off to rest?"

"Not only for me, but also for you as a teacher." Yao Rong smiled and said to Ye Heqi, "I plan to take you out for a walk tomorrow."

Ye Heqi's eyes lit up. This was a pleasant surprise for her: "Can we go out tomorrow?"

Yao Rong nodded: "Yes, your great-grandmother has agreed."

Of course, Mrs. Ye didn't need to tell Ye Heqi about her dissatisfaction with this matter at this time.
