Quick Transmigration: Learning Makes Me Improve

Chapter 5 [The Courtyard House] Learning Makes Me Happy

The textbook for Chinese is "Elementary School Chinese Reader".

The "Elementary School Chinese Language Reader" consists of six volumes, corresponding to four years of lower elementary school and two years of upper elementary school.

Zhang Yu is currently in fourth grade, and the book on her desk is the fourth volume.

Traditional Chinese characters in vertical format, regular script, combined with interesting woodblock prints.

It looks very grand.

Zhang Yu opened the book, feeling somewhat out of place at first.

After all, they were used to the simplified Chinese characters and horizontal layout of later generations.

Having lived two lives and practiced the "Mahavairocana Visualization Method," his spirit has far surpassed that of ordinary people.

He quickly became engrossed in watching it.

It's not that the content is particularly exciting, but rather that the system has stepped up its efforts again.

"Learning makes me happy," Zhang Yu exclaimed.

It's currently morning reading time, and Chinese teacher Wang Xiulan is walking around the classroom in circles with a pointer in her hand.

His eyes were fixed on those students who were usually unruly.

If you see anyone slacking off or whispering, go over and tap on the table to signal them to quiet down.

Zhang Yu, on the other hand, was immersed in his Chinese textbook.

1. "The Kite"

(Editor: Ye Shengtao)

"The bamboo ribs were tied into the shape of swallows, covered with cotton paper, and then dyed with a few strokes of red and green. The children ran around in the fields holding the strings, and the kites wobbled and climbed into the sky."

2. "Providing timely help"

(Editor: Xia Mianzun)

Aunt Zhang pushed open the Wang family's door, her neck hunched, with half a piece of charcoal tucked into her arms. "I'll borrow your kindling to start a fire, and I'll return it to you tomorrow." But the Wang family's daughter-in-law simply stuffed the charcoal into her frostbitten hands.

3. "The Swallow"

(Adapted from classical Chinese, edited by Lü Shuxiang)

"A jet-black back, a snow-white belly, and a scissor-like tail sweeping across the mud nest under the eaves, adding a few more grass stalks."

4. The Blacksmith's Shop

(Editor: Feng Zikai)

"Clang, clang—sparks jumped onto the master's leather apron, burning many small holes, like stars in the sky."

5. The Analects, Book 1, Chapter 1

(Confucius / Editor's Note: Li Jinxi)

Confucius said, “Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application?”

(Side note: ㄒㄩㄝˊ ㄦˊ ㄕˊ ㄒㄧˊ ㄓ，ㄅㄨˊ ㄧˋ ㄩㄝˋ ㄏㄨ)

6. Lugou Bridge

(Wartime teaching materials, edited by Wu Yanyin)

"The moonlight shone on the stone lion, casting shadows like crouching soldiers. In the middle of the night, the first gunshot startled the wild ducks in the reeds."

7. "The Newspaper Boy's Song"

(Lyrics adapted, edited by Tao Xingzhi)

"'Shen Bao! Ta Kung Pao!' Little cripple A Mao shouted as he weaved through the crowd, his shouts faster than his legs."

8. "On the Love of Lotus"

(Zhou Dunyi/Vernacular Explanation: Zhu Ziqing)

"The lotus grows out of the mud, yet it is clean and pure, like a scholar in a white coat."

Zhang Yu's memory is now so good that he can remember everything he sees.

In no time, he had memorized all the contents of the book.

Teacher Wang Xiulan felt that he was acting a bit strange today.

I don't usually see them this serious.
