Chapter 487 I Have Little Education
Gu Xiaoxuan was a person of action. Without even having time to communicate with An Zhixia, she went to find Xiao's mother to express her strong desire to go to school and learn backstroke.
Xiao's mother liked her motivated child, she smiled and touched the clean and pretty girl, "Xuanxuan, why is it so sudden?
The school has been in session for more than three months, and you have no foundation at all. I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up.
Besides, winter is not a good season to learn swimming."
Gu Xiaoxuan looked at her seriously, "Mom, I go to class during the day and go home to make up lessons at night.
The things to learn in the first grade are simple, I will definitely catch up quickly! ”
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll take a leave of absence tomorrow to help you contact the school and borrow a set of textbooks." Xiao's mother nodded and once again lamented why such an obedient, sensible and eager-to-learn child was not hers?
It turns out that this brat Xiao Jun was born to be her nemesis!
"Mom, I'm not tall. Can you help me find a bigger pool to practice backstroke? I made a bet with brother Xiao Jun that if I can learn backstroke in three days, he can find a way to go to school."
When Xiao's mother heard this, she nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, there is a hot spring resort outside Kyoto. The temperature inside is suitable, so there are several swimming pools.
I will ask someone tomorrow to help me ask if there is a national team swimming coach. I must learn the backstroke in three days!
Let that stinky boy see who says women are inferior to men!"
Gu Xiaoxuan withdrew from the live conference, but Xiao Jun was still there.
An Zhixia smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Are you so sure that Gu Xiaoxuan can't learn backstroke?"
Xiao Jun frowned and snorted, “I’m afraid she doesn’t even know the most basic swimming skills, how could she learn backstroke in such a short time?
I have been trained systematically.
Many children in rural areas can swim in ponds and rivers, but they do it by doggy paddling and groping their way around.
Without formal training like breaststroke and freestyle, it is impossible to understand how to balance in the water, let alone the higher level backstroke!
Otherwise, foreign ambassadors wouldn’t have made such a fuss when they saw Chairman Mao swimming on his back.”
"Young man, where is your gentlemanly manner?" An Zhixia couldn't help but laugh and shook her head: "Why would you bother to compete with a little girl? If you ask her to get close to Comrade Mao, wouldn't that be like a huge ocean away from her?"
Xiao Jun's face flushed a little, and his eyes wandered around embarrassedly.
He coughed and protested, "Nowadays, equality between men and women is advocated. Why should I give in to her? Teacher Xiao An, you can't be partial.
Among these twelve families, my family has the worst financial conditions.
I can’t even fill my stomach now, and I have to walk 20 kilometers to school every day?
Besides, who will pay for my studies? Can I just pay it off first?
Aren't you making it too difficult for me with her?"
"So, you're ready to give in without even trying?" An Zhixia twirled the pen in her hand, her tone rising slightly as she said, "Tsk tsk."
“What about your ability to dominate the compound in the center of Kyoto?
Are you really like what your mother said, that after leaving the Xiao family, you are no different from other rural children, and you don’t even have the ambition to make progress. "
"Whatever you say is what it is!" Xiao Jun said rather self-deprecatingly.
"Comrade Xiao Jun," An Zhixia tapped the pen on the table and said with her chin in her hand, "Why are you being so awkward? Studying is your own business. You are ten years old now. If you were in ancient times, you would be an adult who would be looking for a family and preparing for engagement.
Our Xiahua has passed the most difficult period and is now on the verge of taking off. You can't imagine what the spring breeze brought by Comrade De represents.
That would truly be a magical method that could transform decay into magic and make rapid progress!
Only by improving your academic level can you ensure that you keep up with the times and avoid being eliminated. "
Xiao Jun pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly, without saying anything, and it was unknown whether he heard it or not.
An Zhixia continued to speak softly, "Take our country's current efforts to eradicate illiteracy as an example. Almost every village has held literacy classes at the request of the organization.
The requirements for literacy classes are very low, and students only need to be able to recognize common words and do arithmetic.
But I will tell you that computers have become a development trend abroad. They will be popularized in all walks of life in the next few decades!
If you don’t know how to use a computer, you will be the “illiterate” of the new era.
Writers can type thousands of words in an hour on a computer, which is several times, dozens of times or even tens of times faster than handwriting, and can create millions of works in a year.
Teachers can use computers to teach and lead students to travel through ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad in the classroom, and educate them to become knowledgeable and useful people.
The bureau's subsystem can compile fingerprints, pupil patterns, DNA and other information of people all over the world into a large database, leaving criminals nowhere to escape, truly realizing the law of justice!
People can use computers to shop, order food, watch movies, take classes and chat without leaving their homes.
Engineers can use computers to run simulations and produce more high-tech products.
The equipment in hospitals is gradually becoming information-based, and many difficult problems are being solved with the help of these equipment.
Everyone has a portable phone with a variety of functions that can help you solve all your daily problems: such as maps, weather, taking photos, recording videos, reading books, watching movies, etc. ”
Xiao Jun gradually raised his head as he listened, and pictures appeared in his mind following her words.
It's incredible. In the 5,000-year history of Xiahua, people have developed slowly from ancient times to the present day. How is it possible to achieve such a big breakthrough in just a few decades?
He curled his lips and said, "Teacher Xiao An, you are bullying me because I have little education!
Nowadays, every household is struggling for a living and can’t even fill their stomachs, so how can they have a portable phone?
Phones are a lot more expensive than watches, right?!"
The audience also nodded heavily. Yes, Teacher Xiao An has a very rich imagination.
But it’s no wonder. There are computers at the checkout counters of Huida Supermarket. Teacher Xiao An must have been brainwashed by the computers.
Xiahua Country has been established for more than 30 years, and there have been considerable changes. People live a stable life without fear, and daily necessities are becoming more abundant, but they are far from being universal.
The audience thought that if everyone could wear a watch on their wrist, it would not take a century of effort to solve it! Not to mention the more high-tech phone.
An Zhixia continued to slowly explain science to everyone: "Do you know when the first computer was invented?"
Without the audience's answer, she chuckled and said, "It was in 1946! It was only three years before the founding of our country. Now is the fourth generation of computers, which have begun to be popularized and entered the homes of ordinary people.
…
Just imagine that a calculator of this size can perform calculations at speeds of tens of millions of times per second, while giant machines can perform calculations at speeds of 100 million or even billions of times!
This is equivalent to accelerating our era. What miracles can't be created?"
