Chapter 276 Overjoyed
When Wang Dong and Zhou Chongshan returned to the camp, it was almost dark, and Zhou Chongshan's face was darker than the sky.
He said goodbye to Wang Dong politely, and then found Zhou Xu without stopping.
"Chief, I want to ask for someone else to take care of Teacher Wang!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xu, who had just finished a day's work on the new village construction and returned to his tent, showed a hint of surprise.
"Why?"
“Because, because…”
Faced with this question, Zhou Chongshan thought about it for a long time but really couldn't give a clear answer.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu sighed.
"Chongshan, do you know why I asked you to take care of Teacher Wang?"
Faced with this question, Zhou Chongshan seemed to be about to say something, but Zhou Xu did not intend to give him this opportunity.
"For our future development, Mr. Wang is a very important talent, and we must not let him fail. And you are my most trusted subordinate. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who can do this task. Chongshan, do you understand?"
Zhou Chongshan originally wanted to find an opportunity to harshly complain about Wang Dong's actions, but after Zhou Xu's words came out, he couldn't utter a single word of his complaints.
Finally, he simply knelt down in front of Zhou Xu with a plop.
"I am ashamed! I almost failed the leader's expectations again. I will go and keep an eye on Teacher Wang now!"
After saying that, Zhou Chongshan turned around and was about to leave, but was quickly stopped by Zhou Xu.
"Chongshan! It's almost dark now, and Teacher Wang has been tired all day. You don't have to look after him after dark. Let him have a good rest. You should also go have a meal and rest early after dinner."
"yes!"
Zhou Chongshan never raised any objection to their leader's arrangements. He would just do whatever the leader said.
After responding, Zhou Chongshan quickly turned around and left.
After watching Zhou Chongshan walk away, Zhou Xu called out slowly...
"Come in."
Along with this shout, Wang Dong slowly walked out from behind the tent.
He came when Zhou Chongshan was almost done speaking, and seeing Zhou Chongshan was there, he stepped aside slightly.
"Wang Dong, meet the leader."
Although as a time traveler, Wang Dong has only been here for a few days, his ability to adapt to local customs is still very good, which is also related to his personality.
Wang Dong’s dream is to teach and educate people, to have students all over the world in the future, and to die surrounded by his students.
He had no interest in becoming the king, and he knew he didn't have that ability, so he placed himself in the right position.
Walking into the tent and seeing Zhou Xu with a smile on his face, Wang Dong immediately understood what was going on.
"So, is this a test from the leader? Want to see if I can spot Lieutenant Zhou's problem?"
"It's not really a test. I just want Teacher Wang to help him if he has a way."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu's face also showed a bit of headache.
"Teacher Wang, you don't know that Chongshan is a kid..."
As they were talking, Zhou Xu told Wang Dong about some of Zhou Chongshan's psychological problems.
In Zhou Xu's opinion, junior high school students have the most problems. They are in their rebellious period, and coupled with various problems of puberty, they are the most troublesome.
And Wang Dong happens to be a junior high school teacher, so I think he should have rich experience in this area.
Wang Dong had already seen a lot about Zhou Chongshan's situation. Now, combined with Zhou Xu's narration, he had a complete idea in his mind.
Then he told Zhou Xu what happened today.
"I can see that he is a serious and good kid. If it were someone else, he would probably just forcibly carry me on his back and leave, or even just ignore me."
Zhou Chongshan is only eighteen years old now, and Wang Dong is thirty-two years old. Among all the people here, no one is older than Wang Dong.
Wang Dong called Zhou Chongshan "kid", which was quite appropriate.
At the same time, it is not difficult to see that Wang Dong still likes Zhou Chongshan, this serious and good boy, very much.
"I'll do my best regarding Lieutenant Zhou's affairs."
Children like these who are overly serious are usually a bit paranoid and tend to get stuck in a rut. It is not easy to correct them.
Even Wang Dong, who had taught many students, did not dare to guarantee Zhou Xu on this point.
But for Zhou Xu, it was enough.
After all, he was just a newly graduated college student before he traveled through time. How could he have any experience in teaching students?
It would be best to leave this professional matter to professionals.
After talking about Zhou Chongshan, Wang Dong obviously had other things to say, so he continued the conversation.
"By the way, Chief, you said before that you hope I can teach your people to read. Do you want to teach them Chinese characters?"
"Yes."
Zhou Xu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
He had already thought about it. He would just speak in the language of this world. The system would help him with the language issue anyway.
But written words are not enough! After the destruction of the old god civilization, apart from the "true words", the ancient writing has basically disappeared. What can they do? Start by creating characters out of thin air?
Compared to creating characters out of thin air, directly teaching Zhou Chongshan and others Chinese characters would definitely be easier for Zhou Xu and others.
On this point, he and Wang Dong quickly reached a consensus.
"But Chief, there is one thing I want to make clear first. I used to teach Chinese in junior high school, and things like pinyin and literacy are courses for lower grades in elementary school. I can't guarantee that I can teach well, I can only say that I will try my best!"
"I understand this, too. Teacher Wang doesn't need to feel any psychological pressure. Just do your best to teach."
After receiving this promise, Wang Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your understanding, Chief!"
"Also, during the rest days these days, I thought about how to teach them to read, and then I realized, don't we have paper and pen here?"
In response to this question, Zhou Xu slowly spoke...
"We still have pens. The ones we use more now are chicken feather pens and charcoal pencils."
"As for paper, I only know that paper can be made from trees, bamboo, and even some grasses, but I don't know the specific steps, so we are mainly writing on tree bark now."
Listening to Zhou Xu's story, Wang Dong nodded to show that he understood.
"Don't worry about the papermaking problem, Chief. I know a thing or two about it. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to make paper."
"Are you serious?!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xu was overjoyed.
"Teacher Wang, you guys are still learning papermaking in your junior high school Chinese class?!"
Wang Dong smiled at this.
"I just read some idle books when I have some free time."
"Hahaha, this is no idle book, you really helped me a lot! Teacher Wang!!"
