Chapter 994 Table Tennis

It can be said that education is what Su You came to this world to do. He personally brought up the group of children in Tutu Temple, and he couldn't stop writing.

His mind gradually shifted from listening to lectures and writing to concentrating on explaining his ideas. It was not until Bian Gu gently pulled his sleeve that Su You raised his head and saw the whole class looking at him.

Bian Guan whispered: "Dad, school is over."

"Oh." Su You finally reacted: "Sorry, I was so absorbed in writing."

The young professor took the opportunity to educate the children: "Have you noticed, classmates? This is called concentration. If everyone has the scholarly spirit of a bachelor, why worry about not making progress in their studies?"

Su You stood up and held up his hands: "It's too late, sir."

Bian Guan shouted at the right time: "Stand up after class."

All the students stood up together: "Congratulations, sir."

With the sound of "dismissal", all the students disappeared in a hurry.

The young professor then came over and saluted Su You: "I didn't expect the bachelor to come, so I was neglecting him."

"No, no." Su You quickly said politely: "I have been away for several years, and I don't know how Bian Guo's studies are going. Didn't it cause any trouble to my husband?"

The professor said: "My family has a strong academic background. I heard that a bachelor knows everything from birth, but I think it's bad... Zichao is not bad either. He knows ten things when he hears something. Even though he is young, he dares to ask questions, and the questions he asks are more profound than those of his classmates."

"This school is based on Neo-Confucianism. I don't understand many things other than writing, and I'm still learning."

"Be practical, know the world, understand the way, and proceed step by step. Since I came to school, I feel that I have gained a lot."

Su You asked: "Unknown sir's name? The course is very well taught, and some of the origins of Shu studies can be seen. I wonder if he is self-taught or taught by a teacher? I guess he is not an ordinary student."

"I don't dare." The young man bowed and saluted: "I'm Chen Shidao, my words are regular."

Damn it! Su You blurted out: "So you are just looking for Chen Wuji behind closed doors!"

Chen Shidao smiled bitterly and said: "Even the bachelor knows about the bad reputation."

Su You asked: "How did you get here? Are you being implicated by Da Su?"

Chen Shidao was a die-hard fan of Su Shi, one of the famous "Six Gentlemen of the Su family" in history, and later became one of the founders of the Jiangxi School of Poetry.

Two years ago, Su Shi recommended his literary skills and he became a professor in Xuzhou, but now he has come to work as a teacher at Hope Primary School. History has really changed beyond recognition.

Historical evaluation says that he spent his life in poverty and contented himself with Taoism, chanting bitterly behind closed doors, and his poetry style was famous for its harshness and alarmingness. However, he suffered from the problems of narrow content and difficult meaning.

To put it bluntly, he is poor, and even his wife and children are still raised by his father-in-law.

Chen Shidao said: "When the Master left Xuzhou, he recommended me to Prince Consort Zhang. The Wei family's life is much lighter than that in Bianjing and Xuzhou. Now the family can be considered to have enough food and clothing."

Chen Shidao is a standard scholar. If Su You hadn't asked, he might not have known his name and origin at all. Even though we were talking to him now, he had no intention of asking for advancement, and there was no hint of flattery at all.

Su You couldn't say much more: "That's good. After all, it is the duty of a scholar-bureaucrat to cultivate his moral character and manage his family. Taking care of his wife and children is a man's duty."

"Actually, you can use your vacation to go out for a walk, broaden your horizons, and ponder behind closed doors. Often, you won't be able to see what you see at first glance, but you will understand it in your heart."

"Even if he is as spiritual as Da Su, his poems are often inspired by scenes and emotions, and the subject matter of his creations is very broad. This is also related to the fact that he has many interests and hobbies and has traveled to many places."

Chen Shidao smiled: "Yes, I didn't expect that the children actually have two holidays, winter and summer. Now that I have time and energy, I can really go out for a walk."

The second class in the morning was about to begin, and Chen Shidao couldn't stay long. The two chatted for a few more words and then left.

The second class was mathematics, and the knowledge about triangles was taught. The teacher came in with a triangular board and was stunned. The person sitting next to the flat pot was Master Zeng!

After another round of greetings and situation, class started.

Bian Guan had obviously already learned the relevant knowledge. He didn't even listen to the lectures. He took out pencils, rulers, and scratch paper and studied on his own with a set of example questions.

This must be another small stove opened by my little sister. While Su You was writing furiously there, he secretly glanced at the flat pot to study the topic, and he couldn't help feeling secretly proud.

His genius is fake. Now it seems that Bian Guan has inherited the fine bloodline of the Su family and then developed into science.

In fact, Su Shi and Su Mai were also good in science, but Su Shi's literary reputation was so great that it was not obvious.

If you think about it carefully, the people who researched the technology of promoting pine seedlings in their teens, planted tens of thousands of pine trees in Lian'ao Mountain of Meishan, and studied the production of incense and ink, actually have their own understanding of the properties of matter.

I am so relieved...

After this class, Su You also finished writing the instructions for the day.

Professor Tusun came over and said, "Sir, it's not lunch time yet, why don't you go to my teaching and research office to write? The children are so noisy that they won't affect you."

Su You put the book away: "No, life is so beautiful, how can we waste time by coding? Five thousand words a day is enough. Your Majesty will not rush for manuscripts anyway."

The professor smiled and said: "I wrote five thousand words in one morning. Your skills are really great."

Su You sighed: "You are wrong. When it comes to writing skills, old cousin, Da Su, Zi You, little sister... I am actually the bottom of our family."

Professor Tusun: "..."

It was so embarrassing, but fortunately Su You said goodbye to him quickly and went out to let Bian Guan lead him to tour the school.

There are also many activities in the school, and football and sepak takraw are very popular among boys.

Girls prefer badminton and paddle badminton.

The most popular one is table tennis.

Table tennis balls are made of Seruluo and have good elasticity.

The racket is made of genuine leather.

Su You felt itchy looking at this: "Can I participate?"

The child who was playing ball glanced at him: "Line up."

Su You then queued up honestly and quickly understood the rules. Three goals and two wins. The winner would stay on the stage. The loser would be rearranged from the tail.

Because it is so popular, there are quite a few children queuing up.

Finally it was Su You's turn. A high throw served with extra spin. The kid on the opposite side didn't know these tricks and flew far away from the table as soon as he caught the ball.

When the opponent served, he threw the ping pong ball on the table and bounced it, then hit him, but Su You gave him a smash.

Next was the time for Su You to show his prowess. Table tennis was widely promoted in China in later generations. Even in the countryside, Su You's table tennis skills were poor, but now he is very good at bullying children.

The children were all dumbfounded. The ball, which had been quite obedient in the past, actually acted randomly today. After being hit, it flew around in all directions. They had no idea what was going on.

Some smart children have vaguely discovered the key. The ball is spinning, left-hand, right-hand, top-spin and back-spin. The force can be light or heavy, the ball path can be high or low, and many, many tricks can be played.

So they started imitating the serve and watched how their uncle caught the ball.

Finally, a child suddenly hit a smash that he learned immediately and knocked the treacherous reactionary on the opposite side off the table.

"Oh——" The table bully was finally eliminated, and all the children cheered.

Su You smiled and handed the table tennis racket to the child who came up, and said to Zhang Dunli who was sneering at the side: "Is it a sports activity? The competitiveness still needs to be reflected."

It was obvious that he was bullying a child! Zhang Dunli had a thousand complaints in his heart: "From now on, there are many tricks on the table tennis table, and the trend of being a Confucian scholar is gone."

"We're going to talk about it now," Su You said with a smile: "A gentleman will not fight, he will do it. Confucius said that sports can be competitive, and competition with rules and limits can increase the number of people.

Group vitality, efficiency, and cohesion.”

Zhang Dunli waved his hand: "I can't tell you this, but I am good at painting. Speaking of this, if your hyper-realistic style pays more attention to the rules, it will actually be quite impressive."

Su You smiled and said: "It's up to you, as long as you're not afraid of exhaustion. It takes more than 10,000 strokes with bare hair, and it also requires that everything conforms to the law. When you finish drawing a duck, the duck will be able to lay eggs. Let's not talk about this anymore.

, how is the school food?”

Zhang Dunli smiled and said: "The empress dowager and the empress are kind and said that when the child is growing, he must ensure three meals a day. At noon, there will be lunch meat, three delicacies, pork stewed with radish, and steamed buns."
