"I'll take you to play with fireworks tomorrow night." It was late, and the children came back by car.
Every child was given a hundred copper coins. Although the coins were heavy in their pockets, none of them spent even a single coin.
They should have been sleepy, but they were very energetic. Today, they went to the city and saw what a big city was like. Compared with their own village … it was far worse.
Yes, the children didn't think the city was better than Zhuangzi at all.
Except for the beautiful girls in Pyong Kang Square, there was nothing to see.
Especially the East Market, was this the place that always sold good things? Which things were good?
The oil of the fried food looked scary, and the place where they ate soup pancakes didn't even have a washbasin.
The drinking water was scooped directly from the lake next to it, and there was a toilet next to the lake.
If it weren't for the Heavenly World next to them, they couldn't even drink hot water. Weren't they afraid of stomach pain in winter when drinking cold water?
The barbecued meat was burned, and they didn't know how to cut it with scissors. Brother Dongzhu said that kind of thing couldn't be eaten, unless it was specially baked with medicine.
The children were full of yearning for Chang 'an City, and then they were disappointed that it was not as good as Zhuangzi.
The adults were helpless, and they could understand.
But they also knew that Zhuangzi was not an ordinary person.
There was only one vegetable shop in the East Market, and you had to make a reservation. There was no vegetable sample at all.
Zhuangzi ate it every day, every meal. How could it be compared with him?
No matter how good the ordinary things in the East Market were, how could they be compared with Zhuangzi?
The rich people still used coal stoves, and the better ones had a fire channel. Our house was heated.
The rich children of other families applied animal fat, but you children applied comprehensive fat skincare products.
"Take a bath first, and then eat two mouthfuls of rice. Don't eat too much, and have a good sleep. It's still early for school to start. Don't think about anything, and there will be more fun things."
Li Yi continued to talk to the children, and the children were really happy.
Li Yi smiled. He didn't give the children homework, or he would say, "You went to the city today, and write a travel note."
The children would probably wilt at once.
This was very immoral behavior, and it affected the children's physical and mental health.
Li Yi himself had suffered the same fate. Just thinking about it made him feel miserable.
She had gone on a spring excursion once and had eaten a loaf of bread for lunch. Then, her teacher told her to write a diary for the spring excursion …
He told the children that there were still a lot of fun things to do. There was no class tomorrow, so they could play.
Then tonight the children will have a good dream, and tomorrow they will be full of energy.
"Big Brother Dongzhu, why is the moon getting smaller?" A girl said to Li Yi.
"Because the moon looks like this at this time. Remember it." A student who came over to take a look said. He was one of the forty-two students.
When Li Yi saw this, he immediately put on a straight face. "You can't educate your child like this."
Turning around, he smiled at the little girl and said, "Because a little friend is hiding and covering half of her face."
"Why do you need to cover it up?" The girl had another question.
"He said so. When I saw Little Yan Mian that day, Little Yan Mian was really pretty. My knowledge is not good enough, so I have to cover my face. "
Li Yi blurted out a limerick.
The little girl was Little Yan Mian. Hearing this, she laughed. "The moon knows me too?"
"It knows, but the moon is very smart. It learns very quickly. If its ability is better than Little Yan Mian, it won't think about Little Yan Mian. "Li Yi squatted and said seriously.
The little girl pouted and shook her head. "Impossible, Little Yan Mian's learning is not bad. Big Brother Dongzhu, tell the moon to wait, I will definitely study hard."
"Okay, I will tell it." Li Yi agreed.
The little girl happily ran to eat with her friends.
"Brother Feiqi, did you see it this time? The education of a child has to start from the heart. You are the best in physics, but education has to start from guidance and motivation. "
Li Yi said to the student who spoke just now.
The student covered his face. "Brother Li, I am ashamed. I will definitely think about it seriously."
He knew that this was Li Yi leaving him some face.
Usually, Li Yi was a modest gentleman, even when he was teaching.
But when it came to children's education, Li Yi seemed to be a different person. He was very strict and had no brotherly feelings.
So everyone understood that Dongzhu had a bottom line that could not be crossed.
One was safety in production, and the other was children's education.
"Everyone has been a child. Think about yourself. At that time, your desire for knowledge was the strongest, so you have to look at the age of the child and the knowledge that they have already mastered.
Then, you have to guide and educate them, and not habitually tell and perfunctorily. The unhappiness that we suffered when we were children can't be let the child bear it. "
Li Yi said with a heavy heart.
He said so and did so. Therefore, when the dolls from the farmstead were released, they looked better than the dolls from other families.
***
After eating, the children fell asleep. Li Yi was in the study copying the psychology of children's education.
He wanted to expand from Zhuangzi to the outside world. Education started from the foundation.
Without the curfew, Chang 'an was very lively. The ice sculptures had been lit up one by one.
There was much less business in the East and West Markets, but the number of snacks had increased.
Storytellers appeared in inns, teahouses, and restaurants.
They read all kinds of history books by themselves, and then used their own words to change and make up stories, and then brought them out to speak.
They had a high status and were knowledgeable. The main thing was that they could talk and people were willing to listen.
Some scholars ran out and found the brightest ice lamp. They wandered around it and read. When it was cold, they went back to the house to warm up.
This included the students who were boarding in the temple. Otherwise, the temple would not provide oil lamps for everyone for free.
The rich people naturally went to Pyong Kang Square and found a group of friends to pay for it. Everyone flattered each other.
If anyone came over to eat, drink, and play and did not know how to pay for it, they would not take him to play next time.
Those who were thoughtful and rich would go to "everyone". They were not together to have sex, but to seek advice and knowledge.
The people who made the cannons were not allowed to use lights. At night, when they saw that it was bright outside, they took out a small part of their things and continued to work with the help of the ice lamp.
When it was cold, they would put their hands into their clothes to warm them. It was better to have cold hands than to live a difficult life.
Yao Chong's family ate dumplings today. He finally got soy sauce from the palace and went home early.
After eating the dumplings, he also went out for a walk. His family lived in Xing Ning Square, which was the square north of Tong Hua Gate.
To the south was Yong Jia Square, and further south was Xing Qing Palace. If one went west from Xing Ning Square towards the imperial city, it was Anxing Square to the west of Yong Jia Square, where the 5th Prince's residence was.
If Li Longji stayed in Xing Qing Palace, Yao Chong would find him closer than going to the palace.
Other than the East and West Markets and Xing Qing Palace, the other squares faced the street with walls. The north and south were streets, and the east and west were roads.
Of course, there were also those who opened their doors on the neighboring streets. They were all dignitaries who no one cared about.
Yao Chong's house was adjacent to the street and road, so he opened his door facing the street. He could come out whenever he wanted.
There were many ice lamps in front of his house, and they were very bright.
The curfew was temporarily lifted, but people couldn't go out of the city, so no one came in through Xing Ning Square.
Then he saw a group of people protecting a carriage. After turning the corner, it was the 5th Prince's residence.
The carriage stopped at the intersection. Yao Chong walked up and got on the carriage without being called.
"His Majesty is going out at night?" Yao Chong protested. It was dangerous at night, although Xing Qing Palace was not far from the 5th Prince's residence.
"I want to go with you. Otherwise, we can go directly. Why take a detour?" Li Longji seemed to be in a good mood. He wanted to go to the 5th Prince's residence with Yao Chong.
The carriage moved slowly. Li Longji said, "If we collect business tax and don't have curfew at night, it will be a big revenue."
"What about public security?" Yao Chong was worried.
"Yao Qing, is Chang 'an safe tonight?" Li Longji opened the carriage curtain and pointed at the people who were strolling outside, watching the ice lamps and studying.
