The Teacher Leads Everyone Together

Early Tuesday morning, Guan Zhiyuan went solidly off to school.

Yan Xiao also made a rare early start, getting up at ten o'clock.

He was woken up by a phone call.

Lin Fangxin told him that the thesis was finished, and asked him to come over to school to discuss it together.

Yan Xiao originally didn't really want to go, but after pondering it later, he still felt going was more appropriate.

After all, with a million-dollar major project, it was unreasonable to play the hands-off boss like this.

Who would have thought that after arriving at the school and just finishing discussing the direction of the thesis revisions with Lin Fangxin, Yan Xiao would be pestered by Wei Yujian, an associate senior-apprentice from the Department of Chinese Literature?

"Junior brother, how did you determine this thunder character?"

"Junior brother, is there any related historical material for this child character?"

"Junior brother, is this misfortune character..."

"Junior brother,..."

Yan Xiao had no way to answer any of these questions that Wei Yujian asked.

He certainly couldn't tell Wei Yujian that he had gotten them through the system by matching wits and courage with a savage auntie.

Yet not answering wasn't an option either.

Therefore, Yan Xiao watched and racked his brains to make things up.

Benefiting from the strength of his logical level, and also benefiting from his outstanding literary proficiency, the fabrication ultimately turned out quite fitting.

"You're saying that because there was a large-mouthed pottery jar in the tomb, that's why you deduced the two characters 'Holy Child'?"

"Of course. You don't know, some historical materials record that after children are born, they all have to go through water for a bath; this is to pray for blessings and protect the child so they can grow up smoothly and healthily.

This custom has been continued down from ancient times.

At the very beginning, they all gave children the water passage in rivers.

Later on, a great master discovered that clay could be fired to make pottery jars.

However, because the ancients lacked a grasp of relevant technology, the pottery jar itself was not easily made and belonged to a scarce item.

Just think about it, in a primitive tribal society, those who had the qualification to bathe inside a pottery jar-other than the Holy Child, how could any other children possibly have such a qualification?

Besides, look at the picture on that pottery jar. The drawing on it, doesn't it look like the Thunder God saw the child and therefore didn't split this area with lightning, and then inflicted punishment on other places?"

Yan Xiao pointed at the drawing and spouted nonsense...

"It really is. You didn't mention it and I didn't feel it, but as soon as you said it, I suddenly had a sort of epiphany."

Wei Yujian nodded, looking like he found it extremely convincing.

Of course, he grasped the meaning of what Yan Xiao said, but he couldn't use such a straightforward and insufficiently deep story to make deductions in his thesis.

Story extension and processing.

Looking cultured was very important...

While Yan Xiao was busy here with matters of the thesis, he did not know that he had once again become the fiftieth place on the trending search list.

He made the list because "Education Reference", which carried his interview, had hit the shelves.

#Yan Xiao's educational views#

"To be honest, the first time I saw this interview article, I didn't read the introduction in front, and looked straight at the interview text itself. At the beginning, I actually thought the person being interviewed was some sort of expert in the educational field.

Then, seeing that final question, it suddenly dawned on me that this person whose words were sharp and whose speech went straight to the essence was a high school student."

"I didn't have the kind of thought the floor above had; I read it from the very beginning. At first I didn't really want to read it, because of that previous 'fraud' incident-I actually didn't have much favorable impression of Yan Xiao.

I always felt there might be some hidden story here.

However, when I subconsciously read one question, I couldn't stop myself until I finished reading the entire interview segment.

I found that I really was standing from a parent's position and being somewhat overly harsh toward children."

"What I read was the study method inside. When I was reading it, I felt what was said made a lot of sense, and then I let the child in our family give it a try.

After my child finished experimenting, they found it was indeed extremely effective."

"What I am most interested in is the interest-driven learning method Yan Xiao talked about. He said that when he doesn't have the mood to study, he will find some other matters to adjust his mood."

"This talk about mood adjustment is truly put too well. Today when I saw this article, it was actually completely unintentional.

I am neither an educational worker, nor a child's mother.

This magazine was bought by my colleague.

After flipping through it, I discovered that mood adjustment can also be used in work."

"Right, it's that it can also be used in work, and it's especially useful. In the past, whether I had the state or not, I would sit withered in front of the computer; now, when I don't have the state, I read a bit, drink some tea, or play a game to adjust.

When the state is adjusted, I go back to work and find the efficiency is simply outstanding.

The things that used to take a whole day to do, now can probably be done well in two or three hours."

Netizens constantly expressed their opinions, gradually radiating outward from a very small circle.

Meanwhile, in the classroom of Class 6, Senior Three at Railway No. 2 Middle School, a self-study class was underway, and Yan Xiao's former classmates were also privately passing around and reading this magazine.

Liu Ning looked at Yan Xiao's interview, feeling as though he had been struck by lightning, blasted open in all seven orifices.

So, this is the secret to your success;

So, my so-called invincible grades were all an illusion;

So, you've always been so much more outstanding than me!

I actually used to show off in front of you, ah... How embarrassing...

"You guys say, doesn't the interest-driven learning method Yan Xiao talked about before seem different from what he said in this magazine?" A classmate couldn't help but launch a communication request toward the person beside them...

"I haven't finished reading yet, you wait for me to finish reading before talking." The classmate who was invited to speak during class finally finished reading Yan Xiao's interview.

He frowned and said, "It really is somewhat different. He previously told us that if you can't find a point of interest, you keep looking; now what this says inside is that you have to find a way to compress the time of excitement in games, and in studying, find a way to prolong the time of excitement."

"How do you see it?"

"I think they're both right, probably. At that time, we hadn't reached that kind of realm, so what Yan Xiao said was likely something we couldn't understand at all."

"What you're saying makes a lot of sense; it must be that we've grown up."

Just as the classmates were speaking, the acting head teacher Sun Lili walked in.

The classroom, which had originally been like a vegetable market, instantly became quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

Sun Lili walked to the podium, cleared her throat, and said, "Classmates, I know that most of you have probably read that interview article by Yan Xiao..."

As soon as she said this, a buzzing sound of discussion immediately rang out across the whole classroom.

However, the content of the classmates' discussions was very similar.

It was that just after the matter had passed not long ago and hadn't cooled down yet, there was actually still a teacher who dared to bring up Yan Xiao.

Weren't they afraid the principal would fly into a rage?

Sun Lili was clearly not afraid of the principal flying into a rage, because after following the entire matter, she stood on Yan Xiao's side.

Even though her professional stance wasn't properly placed, her moral stance was exceptionally distinct.

When she saw this interview by Yan Xiao, she immediately realized that there would be many students coming to learn Yan Xiao's study methods.

However, if there was no one to guide them,

certainly some classmates would stray onto wrong paths.

Therefore, she decided to start with this mathematics class she taught and first trial-run teaching with this study method.

Once the results manifested, the students would inevitably demand from the bottom up that other teachers change.

In this way, if the method worked well, then the school's overall performance would definitely be elevated.

She came today precisely to tell the classmates-

Do not casually try it on your own; starting from the next math class, the teacher will lead everyone together...
