Chapter 237 Su Tai’s Suggestion
The ten children were a bit noisy, especially Zhu Kangcheng. He used to be locked up at home, and his only playmates were Shen Yuezhang and his brother. Now that there are so many more people, he suddenly became excited. , I always want to play in class.
Tang Yu didn't let him go, and gave him a good meal before he became honest.
Shen Yuezhang told the adults about this matter as a joke.
Zhu Kangcheng felt aggrieved and buried his head in Ke Yunyun's arms, "Mom, I don't like my godfather anymore. I don't want to study."
Ke Yunyun's good mood disappeared. She looked at him sternly for the first time and asked quietly: "Do you want to be locked up in the yard and unable to see people for the rest of your life? Just like before."
Zhu Kangcheng Her head shook like a rattle, "No, no, no, no. I want to go out!"
Ke Yunyun suddenly smiled and looked directly at him, "But if you don't study hard, you will be your father. If I ignore you, you have no reason to leave this yard, understand?”
The little baby was so scared that he didn’t dare to say a word and just nodded desperately.
Su Tai didn’t think it was the case, so she secretly discussed it with Tang Yu.
"Mr. Tang, do you think we can do something to encourage children to study?"
Tang Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this statement was fresh, "Mrs. Shen, what do you think?"
Su Tai hurriedly said humbly: "What knowledge can I, a woman, know? That kid Kang Cheng is very playful, and his mother has a soft temper and is easy to get into trouble. When he goes back and makes a fuss about not studying, his mother will change her attitude. I I'm thinking that instead of scaring children, it's better to let them study voluntarily, don't you think?"
Tang Yu agreed deeply, "Indeed, the effect of voluntarily studying and being forced to study by others are very different, but what is the method of motivation? Implement it?”
Su Tai immediately took out a bunch of snacks, including chocolates, lollipops, cookies, jelly, etc., all of which children like.
She bought it from a snack wholesale store in the food court.
"Sir, would you like to try it?"
Looking at her expectant eyes, Tang Yu frowned and ate a chocolate. At first, his expression was a little strange. Later, she became more and more surprised, "Is this made of sugar? It has such a unique taste!"
Su Tai covered her face and chuckled, "It uses some special ingredients, and they are all snacks that children like, Tang The teacher can give these things to the children to try tomorrow, and then use them as rewards after they remember them. Children who perform well every day can choose a snack to take away. If their performance is excellent, they can choose more than one.
Do you think they will work harder to eat these things? ”
Tang Yu laughed loudly, "They will definitely be surprised by Mrs. Shen's craftsmanship, so let's try it. At least we can use this method to lay a foundation in the first two or three years."
"Yes, the people in the village send the children here because they want them to be literate and become respectable people in the future. Oh, by the way, I forgot to discuss something with Mr. Tang. You also know that they are all country children. They should not forget their duties just because they are studying. They still need to know how to work in the fields. I hope that my husband will give them holidays during spring plowing and autumn harvest, and encourage them to go to the fields to work and observe.
Let them go to the fields every day during normal times. How about doing farm work for an hour and then studying?" Su Tai had already made this plan, but it was just a few days ago that things were not on track, so it was useless for her to say it. Now that the snow was starting to melt, it was time to mention it.
Tang Yu was in awe of Su Tai, "Mrs. Shen is really wise. If someone had told my parents this when I was a child, maybe my life would not have reached this point. Mrs. Shen is so kind!"
His parents are from the country, but their family is relatively well-off. They went to the city and saw a scholar with a high status. After returning home, they were obsessed with providing him with education. He was not allowed to touch any work at home. He always claims that he is different from other villagers. He didn't think there was a problem with this before. It wasn't until he experienced so much that he realized how ridiculous his parents' ideas were.
Su Tai sighed, "Mr. Tang's life is not bad now. They say that once a teacher, he will always be a father. Since you are the husband of my children, they should respect you in the future. Besides, you are still young. You can’t say what’s going to happen in the future. If you want to start a family in the future, I will definitely help you. If you don’t want to, you can settle down in Shenjiazhuang and they will take care of you in the future.”
“Hahahaha. Mrs. Shen is really a sweetheart. Now! Thank you in advance!"
Tang Yu is in a good mood. With Su Tai's words, he doesn't have to worry too much, he just needs to teach his children well.
The spring snow melted in the blink of an eye, and the hard soil softened in just two or three days.
Huang Xinghua greeted the villagers who farmed the land for Su Tai's family to go to the fields together, and a new round of busyness began.
Tang Yu led ten children standing on the farmland, each child holding a small hoe in his hand.
"Sir, do we also want to hoe the ground?" Shen Lian, the granddaughter of the village chief, looked at the hoe in her hand, looking forward to it but also a little nervous.
Tang Yu was even more nervous than she was, and smiled awkwardly: "Try it! Sir, I haven't farmed before either, so let's learn together!"
He originally wanted to give a demonstration to a few students. After a while, I put a hoe into the ground and couldn't pull it out for a long time.
Huang Xinghua and others who were working all suppressed their laughter.
Tang Yu was even more embarrassed. He shouted with all his strength and pulled out the hoe. He only heard a bang and his buttocks sat firmly in the soil.
"Hahahaha." The working villagers couldn't help laughing.
Su Tai and Ke Yunyun, who were standing at the door of their house and looked at each other, both covered their faces.
Su Tai felt even more guilty, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have come up with this bad idea. Now it's fine, Mr. Tang's reputation is in jeopardy!"
Ke Yunyun was speechless, "Cousin, what are you talking about! Mr. Tang is a scholar. If you ask him to teach his children to farm, aren't you asking him to make a joke? We'd better go over and find a place for him to get off."< br>
The two trotted over.
Ke Yunyun is obviously still Tang Yu's wife, so she must pretend to help him up.
Tang Yu blushed with embarrassment.
Su Taize said nonsense seriously, "Children, you have all seen that farming is not a simple matter. Don't look at it as if your parents, grandparents, and uncles are carrying hoes and nails and raking the ground every day. It seems to be very simple. Yes, today I must tell you that farming is also a science, just like studying.
It’s amazing that your parents and grandparents can cultivate the land well! Mr. Tang studied well and was very impressive. Everyone should be good at something, right? Today you should study hard about farming, and then think about another question: what are you good at, what do you like, and what kind of person do you want to be in the future? Well, let’s get to work! "
As she spoke, she hurriedly waved to Huang Xinghua who was in a daze.
Huang Xinghua woke up from a dream and ran towards Su Tai with admiration on her face, "Xiao Tai, what are you doing with me? ”
