Chapter 766: Gu Dajiang’s Persuasion

Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Liang frowned even more. Gu Dajiang smiled and said, “It’s like how you work hard in the fields all day for your family’s food, clothes, and transportation. You work very hard and wish you could stay in the fields 24 hours a day. But is that possible? If you don’t come back to rest when the weather is hot, you will suffer from heatstroke. If you work for too long, you will be tired. The hoe in your hand might even hit your toes, right?”

“It’s the same for reading. If a person doesn’t rest and reads all day, his eyes won’t be able to take it. His thoughts will be chaotic for a long time and he won’t be able to learn at all. The appropriate rest is for better work or learning in the future. Don’t you think so? If you force students to read and write, it will backfire.”

With this explanation, Chen Liang felt much easier to understand.

He looked at Gu Dajiang and asked in a low voice, “I heard that you’re studying at Tianhai Academy now. Is it the same for your academy?”

“Of course, the Tianhai Academy is even more relaxed. The teacher will stop after teaching a certain amount of knowledge, leaving time for you to think and interpret. If you don’t understand, you can ask the teacher. If you already understand, you can read books yourself, or practice calligraphy, or draw, play chess, or even go back to the dormitory to rest in advance.

At their age, the most important thing was self-awareness.

“Oh my god, you can do that?” This was the first time Chen Liang had heard of such a teaching method.

In the past, he only knew that those students stayed at home every day and did not even go out. They only knew how to read books. Their family did not dare to speak loudly at home and they read until midnight every day.

In the end, he was still too ignorant.

Gu Dajiang smiled. “Village Chief, it’s not only our Tianhai Academy. Yunshu’s school is relatively relaxed. Why don’t you ask him?”

Chen Liang was stunned. “In that case, does it mean that the teacher from Wen Mo Hall doesn’t know how to teach?”

“At least in some aspects, he really didn’t do well. For example, Tianhai Academy has the Clothes Making Vacation, Yunshu’s school has it, and even the private school in the neighboring village has it for half a month. However, the Wen Mo Hall in town only let the students stay in the school to study, obliterating the students’ enthusiasm for studying. How can this be?”

Gu Dajiang wanted to say that this guy had caused a lot of harm.

Chen Liang lowered his eyes and began to think.

Compared to this kind of small academy, he naturally believed in the Tianhai Academy that had nurtured so many Honorable Scholars and Top Scholars and had a hundred years of history.

Moreover, when he thought about it now, Niu Dan was very happy every day when he went to school at first. Every day, he would come back and talk about the interesting things in the school and how many words he had learned during the day. However, recently, he had become more and more silent. When he returned home, he refused to talk about the things in the school.

Chen Liang sighed. After a while, he asked, “Then, is it true that Niu Dan is not allowed to go to school?”

“There’s no need to make a decision so quickly. Niu Dan is now disgusted and repulsed by studying. He might feel that no matter which school it is, it will be the same as Wen Mo Hall. It will only give him huge pressure. If the village chief is free, you can actually bring Niu Dan to other schools to take a look and let him know that there are still many schools with different teaching methods.”

Chen Liang nodded thoughtfully. Gu Dajiang knew that he needed to think about it and talk to Niu Dan.

The two of them stood up and walked out of the central room, planning to look for Niu Dan.

Unexpectedly, after looking around the courtyard, they did not see the children.
