The Legend of the Farm Girl

Yunfeng said that Master Feng told him about the situation in the school. There were about thirteen or fourteen students taking classes with Master Feng, and they were divided into two classes. One class was learning the basics like "Three Hundred Thousand" and "Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child", while the other half were learning the Four Books and Five Classics. He told him that most children of his age would learn the basic characters in two or three years and would not continue studying. He hoped that Yunfeng could persist.

Yun Fangniang asked gently, "What did Feng'er learn today?"

Yunfeng replied, "Today, the teacher first taught me how to hold a pen, and then taught me the Three Character Classic. During class, the teacher kept teaching us to read. After reading a character, he taught us how to write it, and then asked us to memorize it. I can already memorize up to Gui Yi Zhuan. The teacher said that I am progressing very fast! However, the teacher left me a task, asking me to copy the characters before Gui Yi Zhuan five times this afternoon."

Yunfang pretended to be surprised and said to Yunfeng, "You are really good, Xiaofeng. So when you write for the last time, you should call me sister and teach me the words you learned."

Yunfeng nodded quickly. He always kept in mind that one of the purposes of studying was to teach his sister.

After having lunch and taking a short rest, Yunfeng started to write on the table. Yunfang was embroidering a handkerchief beside him, and Yunfang's mother was coaxing Yunying to play. Yunfeng's attitude towards writing was very correct. Although he wrote very slowly, it was already very good for a five-year-old child.

When he wrote it for the last time, Yunfeng could already write down the twenty-four words without looking at the textbook. He called Yunfang, who was embroidering a handkerchief, and taught her word by word, just as Master Feng had taught him.

By the time Yunfeng finished his homework, it was already evening. Yunfang's mother had already prepared dinner. After they had dinner, it was completely dark. The Yun family, who had no conditions to light a lamp at night, lay down in bed early and prepared to go to sleep.

Yunfang came into the system. She had almost forgotten the Three Character Classic that Yunfeng taught her in the afternoon, but with the system, she would receive a better education.

Yunfang submitted an application to the system

"System, starting from today for three hours, half an hour will be used to practice embroidering handkerchiefs, one and a half hours will be used to learn to embroider quilt covers, and the remaining hour will be used for reading. Reading will start from 300,000."

After hearing Yun Fang's words, the system replied: "We have received the host's wishes. Based on the host's current abilities, we have arranged a plan that meets the host's conditions. We will now start executing it."

The Three Character Classic taught by the system is much more interesting than the one taught by Master Feng. The system will tell Yunfang all the stories behind the Three Character Classic, which allows Yunfang to not only memorize the text by rote, but also enables the system's teaching to target Yunfang alone, so the learning efficiency is much higher than that taught by Master Feng.

The system will also arrange for Yunfang to practice calligraphy, and will correct Yunfang one by one from her sitting posture to her pen-holding posture.

This reminded Yunfang of how Yunfeng wrote in the afternoon. It seemed that his handwriting was not particularly standard, and Yunfeng did not understand the allusions in the Three Character Classic. She would have to explain it to him tomorrow.

The next day, all the Yun family members except Yunying got up early. After the family finished breakfast, Yunfeng said to Yunfang: "Sister, do you still remember the characters I taught you yesterday? I will teach you again!"

Yunfang said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Xiaofeng, I remember everything."

Yun Feng's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Sister, I only taught you once yesterday, how come you are so good at it!"

Yunfeng thought about how it took him a whole day to learn these words, while his sister only used them once, and he suddenly felt the huge gap between himself and his sister!

Yunfang explained to Yunfeng, "That's because I kept thinking about the words you taught me yesterday last night, and I took out your homework this morning and looked at it again, so I remembered it."

Yunfeng was stunned: "Sister, why are you so hardworking!" Then he said with determination: "Sister, I will study hard and teach you everything I have learned when I come back."

"Okay, Xiaofeng, but when I was looking at what you wrote, I found that it's really tiring for my eyes to sit and read like you do. Do you think it would be more comfortable for my eyes if I sit like this?" After saying that, she put on the correct posture that she had learned from the system yesterday.

Yunfeng trusted Yunfang immensely, and immediately assumed the same posture as Yunfang, saying to her, "It seems to be true, sister. I will use this posture when writing and reading in the future."

Yunfang smiled again and said, "When I was learning the Three Character Classic you taught me yesterday, I found that some of the three characters seemed to be related to the stories I heard before. Let me tell you about them!"

Since time was limited in the morning, Yunfang picked out an anecdote that Yunfeng had learned from the system yesterday and told it to Yunfeng.

Yun Feng was still not satisfied with what he heard, and sighed: "Sister, I just now understand the deep meaning of this sentence. Sister, you are really amazing. The sentence you told me has an allusion, so other words may also have an allusion. I will ask the teacher when I go to the school."

When it was time for Yunfeng to go to school, Yunfang's mother sent Yunfeng to Mr. Feng's house. After returning home, she embroidered handkerchiefs with Yunfang and waited for Yunfeng to finish school together.

When Yunfeng came home from school, Yunfang saw Yunfeng walking into the house with a depressed look on his face, but Yunfang's mother didn't seem unhappy. Yunfang asked Yunfeng, "Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you?"

Yunfeng replied, "Sister, today I asked Master Feng about the stories in the Three Character Classic. He said I don't need to learn them. I just need to memorize, recognize and write the characters. Knowing the stories in the classics is useless to me. Those are for people who want to pass the imperial examinations."

Yunfang asked, "Have you learned to read and recognize the characters that the teacher taught you today?"

"Yes, sister. Today is still eight sentences. I have already replied."

"Then don't be unhappy. If Master Feng doesn't teach you, I will. This morning, I went out and asked about the allusions of the sentences you taught me yesterday. After you teach me what Master Feng taught you, I will go out and find out, and then I will tell you when you come back the next day. Do you think it's okay?"

Yunfeng was very happy. He really liked those stories. Those stories made him feel that life was more colorful.

In this way, every day Yunfeng went to the school and told Yunfang what he had learned, and then Yunfang would teach Yunfeng what she had learned in the system. This went on for a long time, and Yunfeng's knowledge reserve far exceeded that of his classmates.
