46. A Teacher Who Is Crazy and Worthy of Love (2)
Except for lecturing and writing, this old man Liu was almost ignorant of life, and once, he came out of school and called a rickshaw to go to the calligraphy and painting shop.
At that time, the teacher's salary was very good, it was higher than other jobs of the same level, about 30 oceans per month, and teachers with high qualifications, like Mr. Liu, heard that up to more than 40 oceans a month, it was considered a high-paid class, and it was no problem to raise a large family.
When I came out of the calligraphy and painting shop and went home, I also called a rickshaw, and after getting in the car, I motioned for the driver to go west. The coachman, after walking a long way west as he had said, wondered, and asked, "Where are you going, old sir?" ”
"Go back to my house", the coachman was confused, but this old gentleman couldn't show the way, and he didn't even know how to walk his own road, out of helplessness, the coachman had to still pull him back to the calligraphy and painting shop and let him find another way.
It turned out that this coachman was a novice from the countryside, he didn't know Mr. Liu, of course, he didn't know where his home was, before, as long as Mr. Liu got in the car, a finger of his hand, the coachman knew that he was going home, and he went directly to the school.
returned to the calligraphy and painting shop, and there would be no rickshaw for a while, so Mr. Liu simply continued to read books and paintings in the store; It was getting late, and I didn't go home yet, but my family was in a hurry, and finally found a calligraphy and painting shop, and finally found someone and brought it home.
……
Like Mr. Liu, there is also an old gentleman who teaches history, named Mr. Xu Xingzhi, who also has a long beard, cherishes his beautiful hair and long beard, and takes a special cloth bag to put on his beard every day when he sleeps.
One day, Mr. Liu Xiaoqian asked him: "When you sleep, is your beard inside the quilt or outside the quilt?" Mr. Xu Xingzhi thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't know.
The next day, Xu Xingzhi found Liu Xiaoqian angrily and complained: "It's your fault, I didn't sleep well all night last night", people asked what's wrong?
He said, just because of your question yesterday, I don't know whether it is better to put my beard outside the quilt or inside, and I always feel that it is wrong to put it anywhere, so that I can't sleep all night tossing and turning.
This allusion became a joke in the school, but it didn't take long for this "revenge" to be avenged by Mr. Xu. One day, the two of them made an appointment to go to the restaurant for dinner together, but when it was time to pay the bill, the two elders didn't even bring any money.
After discussing for a while, it was decided to leave one as a "hostage" and the other to go back to get the money; asked Mr. Xu, who could find his own home, to go back and get the money, but the old man Xu, who went back to get the money, was so stupid that he forgot about it because he received a new book and read it with relish.
Later, I still heard that the old man Liu was found by his family with great difficulty, and after paying the bill and going out, the old man Liu was so angry that he scolded all the way home, and when he scolded Mr. Xu's house, Mr. Xu also asked him not to make noise, and to play another day, and he was obsessed with reading.
After reading dozens of medical books, Mr. Liu claimed to be proficient in medicine, and when he saw a person, he was going to prescribe a prescription for someone's pulse, and he was very excited when he heard that someone was sick, and volunteered to see a doctor.
But ordinary people who dare to let a half-partner come to see a doctor, may not be sick will be regarded as sick, and sick will be regarded as a serious illness; Old man Liu couldn't find a patient to prove how good his medical skills were, which was really boring.
Once, I happened to meet Mr. Xu who was a little sick, and Old Man Liu immediately ran to his house, had a decent pulse, and asked for a prescription on paper and asked the Xu family to get the medicine.
As soon as Old Man Liu left, Old Xu threw the medicine he took back into the trash, and said angrily: "I know that there are always Diao people who want to harm ......."
After thinking about it, I asked my family what the recipe was, and the family said that it was still there, so I hurriedly went to get it, and I didn't look at what was written on it, and asked my family to take it to Old Man Liu's house and ask him to inscribe his name.
The family was puzzled, he said, just said that my illness was cured because of taking Old Man Liu's medicine, so I wanted to put his name on the prescription so that I could publicize it for him in the future.
After a while, after the family came back, there were several more prescriptions in their hands, all of which were inscribed, Mr. Xu smiled slightly, and thought: Finally let me deceive your words, sample.
……
These teachers are cute and cute, crazy and crazy, but they are all very erudite and rigorous.
Mr. Liu Xiaoqian's teaching of the Chinese language, just by talking about "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", you can tell the source, shape, pronunciation, change, extension, etc. of a word, ancient and modern, and talk about the whole lesson continuously, if there is no time limit, it is estimated that there is no problem in saying that it will be half a day.
And the lecture is not boring, the students are listening to it with relish, there are several times the bell rang after class, Mr. Liu and the students did not hear, continue to speak, there is no break between classes, directly on two classes in a row, if the third class is not taught by other teachers, it is estimated that it will have to go on.
Several times, the old gentleman heard the bell ringing after class, ready to end class, the students couldn't listen to it, asked to continue, after the lecture, the teacher of the next class came, and he was fascinated by the next class, so he simply sat down at the back of the class to listen.
So much so that as soon as the old gentleman gave a lecture, many teachers who did not have classes, especially Chinese language teachers, had to come to audit; Later, for the sake of convenience, the school specially arranged two classes for Mr. Liu, and some people asked for three and four classes to be connected together, but Mr. Liu's family disagreed, for fear that Mr. Liu's body would not be able to bear it.
Liu Lao's homework for students is not much, but it is very demanding, such as the association between an ancient sentence and a certain word, the source of a certain poem, the background of writing, and the influence.
There are no fixed, standard answers in books, and students need to consult a large number of books on their own to draw conclusions, and this conclusion is different, and it can be seen at a glance who copied whom.
As soon as Liu Lao came out with his homework, the students rushed to the library, soaked in it, and slowly grinded out the homework, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, it will be miserable, Liu Lao has many tricks to punish students, the most time, is to let you make class records, think about it, two consecutive classes, Liu Lao is like a hippopotamus and said, how fast does it take to write quickly to keep up with his speed.
Even if I keep up with Liu Lao's speed, my hands are tired, and I can't hold on for long, and my hands are sore.
And Liu Lao is very ghostly, he usually finds two or more people to record, and after that, he will take all the records to check, remember the most complete and reasonable one, which is considered to be passed, and the others will follow, and they will grind until you do the best in the record before letting you go.
In this way, while punishing the students, it also exercises the students' ability to write and record, so that the students have to prick up their ears to listen to the lecture, quickly understand and digest the content, quickly "image", and become their own things.
