The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 207 Why Don’t You Learn From Her
Being old is not scary, what is scary is taking advantage of one's age and status. This word has had no good meaning since it was created, so people who take advantage of their age and status are generally quite annoying.

Yan Fugui is obviously not much younger than Jia Zhangshi, but Jia Zhangshi likes to take advantage of her age in front of Yan Fugui. They are obviously of the same age, just a few years younger, but Yan Fugui seems like a generation younger.

This was not the first time that Jia Zhang had shown off in front of Yan Fugui. They both liked to take advantage of others, so Yan Fugui hated this fat old woman to death.

Seeing Yan Fugui running away, Jia Zhang curled her lips, but she didn't care too much. Instead, she smiled and said to Liu Hua: "Hua Zi, old lady, I am also old, and I still can't reunite with my grandson. Please help me."

Liu Hua sneered: "Don't you hate the deaf old lady the most? Why are you learning from her now? She is already dead, why don't you learn from her?"

This sentence almost made Jia Zhang vomit to death. Although everyone has to die, there is no need to rush to die. What's more, Jia Zhang is extremely attached to this world. Although she can't read or write, she can feel that good days are coming soon and she is just waiting to enjoy them.

"If you don't want to help, then don't help. How can you curse an old woman like me?" Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "You don't know any manners at all. You are a teacher, but what can you teach your students?"

"Don't worry about what I can teach my students." Liu Hua smiled and said, "You should think about your Banggeng. In his current state, even if he returns to the city, he won't have a job. What will he eat and drink?"

Jia Zhang was stunned by the question. Before she asked Liu Hua for help, she was actually mentally prepared because she had never gotten anything good from Liu Hua. Now Liu Hua's words woke her up, and she began to worry about her grandson.

My grandson has grown up, and it’s time for him to get married and have children. But without a proper job, who would be willing to marry him? Marrying a man means providing him with clothes and food.

If Qin Huairu were allowed to retire early, she could pass the job to Banggeng, but she would be an apprentice in the factory with such a low salary, and she couldn't let her whole family starve.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang suddenly felt extremely upset. She no longer cared about basking in the sun. She stood up and went into her room, waiting for Qin Huairu to come back to discuss it.

Today is Sunday, and my son is doing his homework at home. Because Liu Hua has laid a good foundation for him, he is not resistant to learning.

"Go out and play after you finish your homework." Liu Hua said with a smile: "At your age, you are curious about the world. Don't easily erase this curiosity."

"Mom said, don't run around. It's not safe outside."

"Your mother said, don't run around or wander around, so just don't run around, I'm not telling you not to go out and play."

His son happily took his toys out to play. Liu Hua made himself a pot of tea and picked up a book to read. Many people like to read philosophy books nowadays. If you let Liu Hua read Marx, Lenin and Mao, he can still get into it.

Liu Hua couldn't understand anything about Hegel, Rousseau, and Sartre. He felt that their philosophies lacked cultural heritage.

Yan Fugui quietly walked into Liu's house again and greeted him with a smile: "Hua Zi, don't you need to prepare lessons?"

Liu Hua was startled. Yan Fugui was as thin as a monkey and his steps were light. Liu Hua was so fascinated by him that he didn't notice him come in.

"What lesson are you preparing for? Just read some books. I am the one who edited the textbooks. I know every page by heart. Teacher Yan, aren't you here to prepare lessons? What are you doing here?"

"You edited all the textbooks? You are so impressive." Yan Fugui said with a smile: "I am here to exchange teaching experience with you. What is the difference between teaching college students and teaching primary school students?" "There is no difference." Liu Hua thought for a while and said: "If there is a difference, it may be easier and less troublesome to teach college students."

"Less stress, simpler?" Yan Fugui couldn't believe it. "They are college students. How can college homework be simple? In elementary school, one plus one equals two. In college, one plus one equals two. I have heard that one plus one equals two is the jewel in the crown of mathematics. Our country's Chen Jingrun spent his entire life proving the problem of one plus two."

"Teacher Yan, you don't understand this. College students, students who are able to enter college, are very self-disciplined. They will take the initiative to study. We teachers are only responsible for answering questions and solving problems. You elementary school teachers, in addition to making elementary school students study, you also have to make them understand how to study. This is a big problem."

Yan Fugui suddenly realized something and slapped the table: "You hit the nail on the head. It's easy to teach knowledge, but it's difficult to cultivate good habits and character."

Yan Fugui began to complain, saying that it was not easy for him to teach. Liu Hua listened for a while and said jokingly: "It's useless for you to tell me this. You have to tell your principal and the director of the Education Bureau. I can't give you a raise."

Yan Fugui said awkwardly: "It's no use talking about it. Do leaders know how hard we work?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "The leader must not know how hard you work. After all, you are late and leave early every day. How can he think that you work hard?"

Yan Fugui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I changed it later, but the principal seemed to turn a blind eye."

Liu Hua shrugged his shoulders: "I can't help it. It's because you left such a bad impression on me before."

Yan Fugui was so desperate that he could not even cry. It seemed that it would be impossible for him to make any further progress before retirement.

This batch of semiconductor design students at Huaqing University will definitely have a bright future. Their two mentors are both academicians, and they have just learned some entry-level knowledge and were brought into the project team by the two mentors.

Learn by doing, and put every bit you learn into practice. Learn, understand, and then apply. This is more impressive than any other learning method.

The effect was unexpectedly good. The six-month study progress was compressed into two months, and I also learned about semiconductor materials and semiconductor components.

Once a person has experienced confusion and ignorance, if he is given the opportunity to study and make progress, he will grab this life-saving straw at all costs.

The students in the class spent all their time studying hard. Even during the summer vacation, these twenty-one people did not go home, just to be able to do experiments with the teacher and learn more.

Seeing how hard they were working, Liu Hua went to see Director Huang to ask if he could scrape together some more money to provide these students with some basic living allowance.

Director Huang shook his head. "It's not easy. After all, they are just freshmen. Even if you say they are lab assistants, I won't be able to explain this to my superiors."

"Can't you look at this matter from a different angle?"
