When Lu Chen heard this question, he closed his eyes and said, "What do you think is for studying?"

“Of course….”

The boy spoke without thinking, and then his expression suddenly solidified, as if he was confused in an instant.

Reading seems to be able to do many things, such as being envied by neighbors, helping parents get rid of poverty and living the life they want.

But no matter what the reason is, it is not very correct at this moment.

"It's for clarity."

Lu Chen suddenly said, "After reading, you can do a lot of things, but that is all the so-called cause and effect, like a line from the beginning to the end. In fact, there is only one thing for reading, and that is to understand."

Erwa scratched his head and suddenly remembered what Lu Chen said when he first met, he taught people to read and write to make sense. It turned out that the last two words were the most important.

Lu Chen then asked: "How do you think you can read the book?"

Erwa scratched his head again and shook his head in confusion.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "First go chop firewood, then do some miscellaneous work. Whenever you think it's OK, continue reading."

"knew."

Erwa said seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely understand. I will go up the mountain to help chop wood and then come back to cook."

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

Looking at the boy's back as he left, Lu Chen's face was calm.

In fact, he still has some things he hasn't said.

Regarding the question of sensible reason.

For example, what is strange in this world is that many people nowadays have been studying for many years and are full of knowledge, but in the end they still cannot understand the principles in the book. When the principles in the book are contrary to reality, they do not hesitate to abandon what they have learned from decades of hard study, turn around and believe what they say about their experience, and criticize what they have on paper.

Or maybe they have read the truth but are unwilling to follow the truth, and they are the most beneficial for themselves.

This is not really wise.

But these are still a little too profound for a young man in a remote north.

Half an hour later.

Erwa carried a bundle of firewood and walked in, and then he was busy outside the house, making fire, boiling water, and washing vegetables, having a lot of fun.

Lu Chen looked at the boy's clean appearance and said, "Slow down."

It's similar to being slower or more stable. Such words will basically never appear in Lu Chen's mouth, but he said it at this moment.

"Okay!" Erwa nodded, and then gradually slowed down.

Before he knew it, the boy subconsciously did the work in his hands more carefully and more beautifully.

At the same time, his expression became more and more focused, no longer just to complete some task, but as if he was enjoying these things.

Naturally, his movements became more and more skillful and his face became more and more peaceful.

The cabbage in the basin is crystal clear.

The firewood in the pile is very complete.

The water in the kettle was boiling, but it just boiled at the mouth of the kettle.

Lu Chen took a light look, then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

I don’t know how long it took, but a sarcastic voice came from outside the door, with a muddy and hoarse voice. I guess he is an old man with a pretty good foundation.

"Oh, such a small shop is worthy of a college? With that guy with such a little knowledge, wouldn't he be afraid of losing the face of Confucian sages?"

"What qualifications do you have to teach and educate people? That only one remaining apprentice. What should you do if you teach it badly?"

"At a young age, you are not enterprising. You thought you were the master after walking a few miles and meeting a few people? Oh, bah!"

Erwa walked out the door and looked at the white-bearded and white-haired old man, sighed, "My master, don't be able to get along with my husband, okay?"

The old man showed a kind smile and said, "Little baby, don't waste time here. That guy was a fool who cheated on the world and had a reputation. Otherwise, if you come to my private school, I will try my best to subsidize you as much as possible, so it's better to let that guy do it here!"

Erwa shook his head and said extremely firmly: "No need, Master, I'm pretty good here, but don't disturb me from studying here, otherwise I'll really splash you with water."

When the old master heard this, his face changed and he cursed sternly: "I don't know what's wrong with it, but I've been taught badly by that big fool! The kind of gentleman will have any kind of students. I think you will be a loser in the future!"

Erwa's face was calm and had no reaction at all. He had heard too many such words over the years, but he just silently brought up the water to wash vegetables.

Seeing this scene, the old master quickly took a few steps back, and then continued to point out and scold the mulberry trees on the street.

Erwa had no choice but to turn around and walk into the house.

Seeing Lu Chen, he said a little aggrievedly: "Sir... I'm here again."

The old master is a private school in the town. He is very respected in the town on weekdays, but in recent years, he has suddenly been unable to get along with this simple shop. He will basically be sarcastic every few days.

Erwa is a little confused. It is obvious that there is nothing wrong with the academy here?

Lu Chen's face was calm and he gently slapped the palm-leaf fan.

He naturally had heard those words long ago, but he had no reaction in his heart.

Anyway, the meaning of the words is that he is incompetent, has no qualifications to teach students well, and is also misleading his children. Perhaps all Confucian sages will be angry and jump out of the grave.

Lu Chen thought about it carefully and thought to himself that the old man was actually right.

Because he didn't know how to teach people to read, he only taught people to use swords or kill people.

As for the Confucian sages and other sages...what are you a noble surname?

Lu Chen started and said, "Don't pay attention to him."

The second kid wants to speak but stops.

Lu Chen said, "If you have something to say."

Erwa sighed, "The old master has been like this all year round, saying that he misleads his children everywhere. I originally had a few playmates in the past two years, but their parents stopped coming when they heard the old master's words."

When Lu Chen heard this, he thought to himself that he really wanted to thank the old master.

Erwa was silent for a while and said, "The old master told my mother that I would go to a regular private school and the tuition fee could be reduced by half. My mother was a little moved."

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this was not very good.

"Tell me again, Master," Lu Chen said.

Erwa was stunned and said uncertainly: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Chen said calmly: "I can't teach, but I can hit people."

Erwa was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed out loud.

Because he thought what the husband said was really funny, he just thought it was his humorous interest.

After dinner, Erwa finished everything in the shop, then packed up his things and left the shop.

Lu Chen felt the afterglow of the sunset outside the shop and closed his eyes slightly.

His breathing was slow and his expression was calm, but he didn't seem to be sleeping, but rather he was a bit like he was practicing retreat.

But the problem is that he has no cultivation at this moment, so what is he doing?
