Chapter 15 Literacy Lessons
An Ning, who was sitting on the bench, turned her head. Next to her stood a girl with two braids and a arrogant smile on her face.
"Nobody."
An Ning shook her head, Yin Xuemei smiled shyly, sat on the bench, and kept the farthest distance from An Ning.
An Ning didn't care and sat down seriously. Her study attitude was definitely the best in the whole yard.
In the courtyard, people came in one after another and found people they knew well and sat down.
Not long after, a boy wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a pen in his breast pocket, stood in front and shook his 55-inch back head confidently.
"I am Yang Jianguo. Tonight I will tell you about the multiplication table."
Yang Jianguo was very confident, or he felt that he was superior to others. Although he was an educated youth who came to the countryside, the current policies were loose and he felt that he would be able to leave here soon, and his sense of superiority became even greater for a while.
He recited it first, and after he finished reciting it, he raised his head and waited for everyone to applaud, but there was silence below, let alone applause, and some people even started to leave.
They are a bunch of stupid people who cannot be taught.
Yang Jianguo turned around impatiently and wrote the multiplication table from one to three on the blackboard.
"I'll teach you these things today. If you do more, you won't be able to remember them."
As soon as Yang Jianguo finished speaking, An Ning raised his hand, very high.
Yang Jianguo in front saw An Ning at a glance. He felt proud at first. He was indeed so handsome, but there was a lot of disdain in his pride. A village girl was not worthy of him.
"Who is that? Why are you raising your hand?"
An Ning stood up, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
"Are you going to teach anything else today? If not, I will leave."
Leave? Who are you trying to scare?
Yang Jianguo snorted disdainfully, a village girl knew how to use tricks to attract his attention.
"You are free to leave if you want, why do you ask me?"
Yang Jianguo shook his hair again and looked like he didn't care.
An Ning thought this person was strange. Since his hair was uncomfortably blocking his sight, why not cut it off?
"I ask to be polite. I know what you taught me. If there is no new content, of course I have to leave." After saying this, An Ning asked again with a little regret: "When will we teach reading? Or will you teach me?"
She didn't like Yang Jianguo very much and didn't want to learn how to read from him. If that didn't work, she would just wait for her younger brother.
"Have you learned? Hahahaha, it really made me laugh." Yang Jianguo looked at An Ning mockingly. She was good-looking but had a bad mind. She was indeed a village girl.
An Ning clearly sensed Yang Jianguo's disdain for her, as well as the looking eyes of many people around her, as if they were doubting herself.
But why? As long as the issues of identity and farming are not involved, she always tells the truth.
And...is this hard?
"One and one make one, one and two make two...three seven twenty-one...seven seven forty-nine...nine nine eighty-one."
An Ning said it completely and smoothly from beginning to end clearly and loudly. After finishing speaking, she stared at Yang Jianguo and said: "For the first time, you said sixty-nine fifty-four instead of sixty-nine fifty-five."
After saying that, An Ning turned around and left.
"stop!"
Yang Jianguo in front shouted, An Ning stopped, turned around and said, "If you make a mistake, just correct it next time. There is no need to compare with me."
An Ning's unique way of consoling made Yang Jianguo even angrier. He pointed a finger at An Ning and shouted, "You memorized the formula list in advance! What a prestige it is to do this."
An Ning looked around in confusion, looked up at Yang Jianguo and said, "I don't have anything, and I haven't memorized it in advance. I can understand this after listening to it once."
"You're lying! What a joke. I've never seen anyone who can memorize the multiplication table after hearing it just once."
Yang Jianguo didn't believe it, and neither did the people around him. Everyone still believed in Yang Jianguo more, but they just didn't understand why An Ning did this.
At this time, An Ning said to Yang Jianguo with some sympathy: "It's not my fault that you don't know enough."
"hiss---"
"What does Little Mute An want to do?"
"I don't know, where did this come from?"
"Er An, what does your little sister want to do?"
"She must have fallen in love with that boy Yang Jianguo, right? Let me tell you, this Yang Jianguo is not a good guy."
The person next to An Guoming whispered to An Guoming.
An Guoming nodded, could he not know? But when he looked at An Ning, he didn't think she was attracted to Yang Jianguo.
At this time, Yang Jianguo's ridicule became more blatant, and the few educated youths in front of him were all a little disdainful. A village girl was really arrogant.
"Can you please make a draft when you brag? You can do it once. I'm afraid you can't even write your own name."
"Jianguo, don't say that. Maybe he is really a genius."
"Maybe a genius has emerged from this small place."
Several educated youths said something to each other, either overtly or covertly, and everyone present could hear it, except for An Ning.
She nodded in agreement and said sincerely: "It's good that you know."
She turned around to leave again, but Yang Jianguo and even several educated youth behind her were unwilling.
"Since he is a genius, then he can stay and teach us."
"Just in time, I have a math problem here. I want to ask you, this genius, to help me."
An Ning reluctantly turned around, walked through the crowd, and came to the opposite side of the man holding the book.
"One question, I still need to have a good rest so that I can work in the fields tomorrow."
Farming is the top priority, how can it be delayed by such a trivial matter as mathematics.
The educated youth holding the book happened to be someone preparing to take the college entrance examination. He didn't like people who boasted very much, so he simply clicked on a very difficult question in the exercise book and said, "That's it."
An Ning followed his finger and knew the answer at a glance.
"The answer is minus four."
The person holding the book opposite sneered and said, "You don't think it's enough to just give an answer casually, do you?"
"Okay, okay, it's good to know how to say a negative number."
"That's right, stop arguing."
Someone stepped forward to persuade them to make peace, but An Ning didn't even understand what happened. The answer she gave couldn't be wrong.
"The answer is negative four, any other answer is wrong."
After saying this, An Ning turned around again and shouted something to An Guoming on the other side.
"Second brother, I'm going home first."
"Okay! You go back first."
Leave it alone, go home and rest, so that you can have more energy to work tomorrow.
The literacy class was disrupted by An Ning, and the get out of class was over. Not many people were studying seriously, most of them came here to chat and watch the excitement.
"Zhou Qiangguo, are you leaving?"
Someone called to Zhou Qiangguo who was holding the exercise book, but seeing that he didn't move, he simply walked over and asked, "What are you doing? You can review for a while when you get back."
"She...she's right."
