Chapter 120 Visiting the School
Gu Jiayue put her thoughts aside and just thought about doing the most important thing at the moment. If there was a chance in the future, she would find a way to make it up to the poor Jiang Shanchang.
"Everyone, come with me over here. Once you see this, you'll understand what I just said."
She turned around gently, and with light steps led everyone inside to a mountain spring.
This spring was accidentally discovered while digging the foundation. The water output is not large, but it is sufficient to meet the daily water needs of the college.
Gu Jiayue asked the workers to dig a small pool here, then build a circle around it with stones, and then put up a one-meter-high fence to prevent students from falling in.
"It's actually very simple. To use this principle to transport water, we just need to fill this U-shaped bamboo pole with liquid. When the siphon is full of liquid, due to the different liquid levels at both ends, gravity will cause the liquid to flow from the higher end to the lower end. Watch carefully."
While explaining patiently, Gu Jiayue reached out and picked up a spare bamboo pole beside her.
Her eyes were focused and serious, as if the only thing in the world was her and the experiment in her hands. "Imagine that the liquid level in container A is higher than the liquid level in container B. One end of a siphon is inserted into the liquid in container A, and the other end is placed in container B. When the siphon is full of liquid, the atmospheric pressure above the liquid level in container A will push the liquid into the siphon's inlet. At the siphon's outlet, liquid will continue to flow out due to its own gravity."
As she spoke, she did it. As soon as she finished speaking, the water flowed out of the bamboo tube, causing everyone to exclaim in amazement. "It's amazing."
"So it's that simple? Then, in the future, I don't have to press the windlass every time I draw water?"
"Young Master Gu, would you let me try?"
Gu Jiayue handed the bamboo pole in her hand to Min Shanzhang and said with a gentle smile, "Okay."
In her opinion, one must conduct experiments by themselves to understand them. Just seeing and hearing is not very useful.
Director Min followed Gu Jiayue's method and was actually able to get the water out.
His eyes were filled with amazement, and he thought to himself: This is amazing. If only their academy had one of these...
Gu Jiayue spoke up at the right time. "Principal Min, I only learned about the agreement between my student and Master Du's student yesterday. My student is young and can't distinguish between the important and the unimportant. I hope Master Du won't mind."
Master Du quickly set down his bamboo pole and stood up. With a look of apology on his face, he bowed respectfully in return. "No, no, I only learned yesterday that my unfilial student had caused trouble outside. I came here today to apologize. I hope Master Gu will not take it to heart. Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Sheng was using the paper and pen he carried with him to record the knowledge he had just learned. When he heard the teacher calling him, his body suddenly stiffened, a trace of nervousness flashed across his face, and he quickly put away his things and went over.
Master Du felt angry when he saw him. He couldn't help but kick him in the butt. "Apologize to Principal Gu."
In fact, Zhang Sheng had regretted it a long time ago. After he returned that day, his classmates had already taught him a lesson.
Thinking back, he felt that it was indeed very excessive for him to say that about a woman he had never met. So, he had come here today with a plan: no matter what the outcome, he would apologize to this female teacher.
After hearing the teacher's instructions, he quickly bowed to Gu Jiayue as a junior.
He bent so low that his waist almost touched the ground. "Master Gu, I spoke without thinking that day, and my words were quite offensive. I hope you won't blame me. This is the best misty rain fan in my Zhang family shop. Although it's not expensive, it represents my deep regret. I hope you will accept it."
As he said this, Zhang Sheng took out the apology gift he had prepared long ago from his sleeve.
Gu Jiayue raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes. It seemed that Zhang Sheng was not such a bad guy, since he could prepare such a valuable thank-you gift in advance.
Yes, but he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, which was the age when he was brave and combative.
It is understandable that some words may be out of line occasionally. As long as you know what is right and wrong afterwards and listen to other people's advice, you can still save yourself and correct yourself.
Gu Jiayue didn't feel too embarrassed and reached out to take the Misty Rain Fan, which was considered as forgiving him.
Zhang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "The sage said that women and villains are the only things that are difficult to raise in this world, but this Master Gu is not only knowledgeable, but also considerate. She is truly different from many women in this world."
Looking at her face again, he had never seen such a bright and beautiful woman.
if……
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but his face suddenly turned red with shame.
Gu Jiayue accepted the gift and ignored Zhang Sheng, continuing her conversation with Master Du. "Anyone who comes is a guest. Our entire village will have a feast together at noon to celebrate the opening of Qiushi Academy. Would you all like to stay and celebrate with us?"
Everyone still had a lot of questions in their minds. They originally thought that the two teachers meant that the competition was no longer valid and they might leave, but they didn't expect that Dean Gu would be so understanding and actually invite them.
In that case. "Then I'd better obey your command respectfully."
"No, no, there's still some time before dinner. Why don't you continue your tour? We have a lot of new things in our school."
Everyone was delighted, "Thank you very much, Master Gu."
"That's alright. Let's go to the library up ahead first, shall we? There are many rare books in there that I brought from Kyoto."
The library was just next door. As soon as the group walked into the first-floor lobby, they were attracted by its unique layout. How could this be a library? It was clearly a toy room.
"Director Gu, I don't understand why the library is arranged like this." Director Min's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his face was full of confusion. He had never seen so many strange things, and he couldn't think of what their use was for a moment.
"These are toys, for the children in the school to relax." Gu Jiayue introduced them one by one with a gentle smile on her face. "The toys in this room are mainly building blocks. The various shapes, colors, and sizes of building blocks can train children's observation skills and recognize different shapes. Building blocks according to patterns can cultivate children's understanding of spatial relationships and develop their imagination and creativity."
"This room is primarily filled with various puzzles. These toys help children develop observation skills by identifying the colors, patterns, and shapes of the puzzle pieces. The process of pairing the pieces and fitting them together according to the puzzle template helps cultivate logical analysis and spatial thinking skills. Furthermore, as the puzzles become more difficult, they also develop children's problem-solving strategies and patience."
"The toys in the third room are mainly educational toys, such as this Huarongdao puzzle, this Rubik's Cube, and this Sudoku puzzle. These toys can cultivate children's observation, thinking, analytical skills, and hand-eye coordination. By solving various problems in the games, children's logical thinking and problem-solving abilities are improved."
"The sand, pots and pans in the hall don't have any special meaning. I just want to make the children happy. After all, children's nature is to play, so I think happiness is also important."
The first floor of the library consists of a hall and three large rooms. The toys in each room are different, so every child can find something that interests them.
If not, go play in the sand in the lobby and you will have a great day.
"Isn't this... putting the cart before the horse? At their age, they should be studying hard! How can they waste their time on playing?" Principal Min looked at these toys. Although each one sounded very useful, it didn't change the fact that they were toys.
Children's self-control ability is inherently poor. If we allow them to play without strict instruction, wouldn't that be misleading?
Gu Jiayue did not answer directly, but picked up a Rubik's Cube and turned it quickly in her hand. In less than ten seconds, she restored the scrambled Rubik's Cube to its original shape.
Seeing everyone looking at her in disbelief, she scrambled the Rubik's Cube again and handed it to the person next to her. "Would you like to try it?"
Jiang Luli looked at the Rubik's Cube, but he couldn't ignore those green fingers.
His eyes froze for a moment, and a ripple of emotion welled up in his heart: Her hands are so small. Such small hands can actually make so many strange and bizarre things. Really...
No! Jiang Luli suddenly came back to his senses, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. What a thoughtful woman!
There were so many people standing here, but she handed him this Rubik's Cube. Wasn't it just to attract his attention?
Haha... he won't be fooled.
Seeing that the person next to him did not reach out to take it, Gu Jiayue looked up and found that the person standing next to him was actually the dean of Huaqing Academy.
Her heart skipped a beat. A big shot like that would definitely look down on her tricks.
So she turned her wrist and handed the Rubik's Cube to Zhang Sheng on the other side. "Young Master Zhang, do you want to try it?"
Zhang Sheng took the Rubik's Cube, suppressed his eagerness to try, with a hint of nervousness and excitement on his face, and twisted the Rubik's Cube like Gu Jiayue had just done.
However, the Rubik's Cube that was extremely obedient in Gu Jiayue's hands turned into a wild horse in his hands. No matter how hard he tried, the colors on the Rubik's Cube could never form a completely united front.
The people watching nearby also became anxious and wanted to snatch the Rubik's Cube and solve it themselves.
"To the left."
"It should be upwards. Twist the yellow ones twice and they will be together."
"No, we have to put the green together first."
You talk, I talk, and finally Zhang Sheng is almost broken.
Principal Min and Jiang Luli beside them also frowned.
These students are too stupid. They haven't figured out how to play with such a simple toy even after such a long time.
Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Just a little bit, just a little bit and he could complete the whole surface.
At this moment, a large hand with distinct joints flashed before his eyes, and the Rubik's Cube in his hand disappeared.
"Who! Who stole my Rubik's Cube!" Zhang Sheng was shocked and angry, his face flushed red.
This is too much, how can this be possible?
He finally managed to piece together a dough.
When he was angrily trying to find this shameful robber, he discovered that his Rubik's Cube was in the hands of the president of Huaqing Academy.
A bucket of cold water poured over his head, he could only swallow his anger. This was a big boss he couldn't afford to offend.
Humph, is this guy crazy? Just now, Junior Gu Shanzhang handed it to him first, but he didn't want it. Now he's trying to snatch it away. Isn't this just robbery? Is he so great just because he's from Kyoto? Humph!
Jiang Luli's expression remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
What was he doing? Why was he trying to steal a student's things?
Even though he was so clumsy that he couldn't untie such a simple toy for kids for a long time, he shouldn't have tried to snatch it!
Dean Min stroked his beard, his eyes rolling around, looking at Jiang Luli and then at Gu Jiayue, with a playful smile on his face, as if he had discovered something interesting, and was winking at Master Du.
Master Du looked bewildered. "What's wrong with the Headmaster? Is he having an eye cramp? Left eye twitching brings good luck, right eye twitching brings disaster. Looks like Headmaster Min is going to have a bad day. No, I have to stay away from him from now on."
Gu Jiayue didn't notice these glances, and there was a glint of curiosity in her eyes.
She also wanted to know if the head of the most top-notch academy in Dagan could restore the Rubik's Cube without the formula.
Jiang Luli's hands kept moving, and in about a minute, he had restored three sides.
No matter how hard he tries, the remaining noodles will still be a little bit off.
But the more this happened, the calmer his heart became.
How many years had it been? How many years had it been since he encountered this kind of problem?
I think the last time you encountered a problem you couldn’t solve was last time, right?
That's really interesting.
Well, it would be even more perfect if Director Gu could restrain his gaze a little.
This woman is so bold! She actually dares to stare at a man!
What a unique woman!
The last time I met such a bold woman...
I have never met a woman like this.
