Principal Jiahua also knows that the teaching content of Gengdu Primary School is uneven. It is normal for children to have a retreat mentality when they first enter school and cannot keep up with the progress.
But if someone like Xiao Dabao gave up on the first day, it would be an overestimation of him.
Xiao Jiahua didn't say anything, but brought out half a steamed fish. Xiao Dabao's eyes immediately widened.
The child ate the fish and licked the plate clean, becoming even more determined, "Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore. I want to learn how to fish from you!"
The purpose of going to school is to have meat for every meal in the future. Now that his old mother can fish herself, why should he go to school?
Xiao Jiahua looked at him for a long time and chuckled: "Tu, you will go to Qinghe with me tomorrow."
Xiao Dabao was not so confident: "Mom, won't you scold me?"
The pride of the whole village, the high school student, was just so indifferent without any tutoring?
Xiao Jiahua said tolerantly: "Everyone has their own aspirations. You are still a child. I will never force you."
The next morning, the mother and her two sons came to the bank of the Qing River facing the rising sun.
Xiao Dabao put his beloved younger brother aside and followed Xiao Jiahua around, learning the steps of fishing.
Xiao Jiahua demonstrated it and caught a black carp in just over ten minutes.
"Have you learned it?" she asked.
As soon as Xiao Dabao nodded, Xiao Jiahua threw the fish back into the river.
"Mom, fish, fish!" Xiao Dabao was anxious, as if his old mother had thrown away 100 million white flour buns.
Xiao Jiahua shrugged and handed him the fishing rod: "It's up to you now. Dabao is so good, he will definitely catch more."
After saying that, she carried the little stone and found a shade under a tree to cool off.
Xiao Dabao sat down in an orderly manner. At first he was full of confidence and stared at the river.
But his fishing hook seemed to be frozen. More than an hour passed and there was still no movement.
A few times, he impatiently threw out the fishing hook, but didn't catch any fish, not even a single water plant.
Behind him, Xiao Jiahua was leaning against an old locust tree and had already taken two naps.
It was almost noon. Xiao Dabao was anxious, tired, hot and thirsty. He finally couldn't bear it any longer and begged Xiao Jiahua for mercy.
"Mom, I don't want to go fishing anymore. I'd rather sit in the classroom and listen to the lessons—"
Xiao Jiahua opened his eyes and said solemnly, "No, since you chose to go fishing, you have to stick to the bottom. Otherwise, what are Xiao Shitou and I going to eat today?"
"But fishing is tiring!"
Xiao Dabao's arms were sore and he couldn't hold the fishing rod anymore. "Mom, I really can't hold on any longer."
Little Stone also followed suit: "Brother, you are such a fool."
Xiao Dabao: "Shut up, you're the stupid one!"
Xiao Jiahua said to Xiao Dabao: "No matter how tiring fishing is, it's still easier than studying, right? If you don't like studying, you can only do hard labor at home!"
"No, no, no, fishing is not easy at all. I still prefer reading and writing! Mom, please, let me go to school. I will never be lazy again. I will study hard and make progress every day."
“Will it be too much of a stretch?”
"It's not forced at all! I love studying the most!"
Finally, Xiao Jiahua walked over with a smile and said, "Put down the fishing rod."
"After lunch, go back to school by yourself. If you don't understand something, ask the teacher for help."
"Yes, I will ensure that I complete the task!" Holding a pen is much happier than holding a fishing rod. Xiao Dabao finally recovered.
Xiao Jiahua took the fishing rod, adjusted the bait, calmed down, and quickly caught another grass carp.
Xiao Dabao was frustrated: "Mom, how can you be so amazing? It's like these fish can understand what you say!"
Xiao Jiahua told him: "In ancient times, there was a beauty named Xi Shi, who was extremely beautiful and stunningly beautiful. When she went to the river to wash her gauze clothes, the little fishes liked to gather around her and forgot about swimming. This is the allusion of "沉鱼落雁", which means "sinking fish and falling geese".
"Mom, you are really educated. Are you trying to say that fishing requires patience and that you have to wait until the fish surround you before you start fishing?"
"No, I mean, only beautiful women deserve this kind of treatment, and ugly people should study more."
“…”
It hurts, mom.
.
The results of frustration education are very obvious.
For several days in a row, Xiao Dabao went home to do his homework and memorize pinyin as soon as he got out of school. Even when his friends asked him to go to the mountains to dig shepherd's purse, he refused to go.
In order to cultivate his perseverance in learning, Xiao Jiahua does not tutor him easily and tries to let him solve problems on his own.
Xiao Dabao was very smart. In less than a week, he mastered the multiplication formulas and pinyin and caught up with his classmates.
Xiao Jiahua enjoyed the quietness and went to the river to fish more frequently.
Every time she had a good harvest, she would have extra fish that could not be sold, so she would give them to her parents and also generously to her neighbors.
Cui Lifen was a meticulous mother and specially made a waterproof fish basket for her daughter. He also sliced the fish, pickled it with salt, and dried it into fish jerky, and taught her to save it and eat it sparingly.
Soon, the villagers knew that Xiao Jiahua could fish, and they came to him to learn from him.
Xiao Jiahua never thought of making a fortune from fishing, and he was not stingy with the techniques of making fishing rods and hooks.
This small act of kindness changed the villagers' impression of Xiao Jiahua greatly. They no longer talked about her behind her back, saying that she was some kind of pretentious high school student.
But the problem is that other people have tools, but they don't necessarily have the leisure time like her.
