"Chinese is wonderful."
"Our country is great."
…The children’s minds were pure. It was already good that they could think of these things.
Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "What you all said is correct. This story teaches us a lesson. The outside world may be very wide, but when we explore it, we must first learn the skills passed down by our ancestors. For example, the Four Great Inventions, the pinyin we are learning now, and our Tang poetry and Song lyrics. So, do you want to learn them?"
"We want to learn!" the children shouted again.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Good. To reward your enthusiasm, after I teach you some of our knowledge each time, I will teach you a game or a song. The song might be traditional or from abroad. Do you want to learn?"
"Yes!" Their interest had been fully aroused by Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi began to teach. In this class, she systematically taught pinyin. The children had good memories. With this fun teaching method, they remembered all the pinyin. It was even more effective than regular Chinese classes.
Teacher Zhou, standing by the wall, listened to Zhu Yanyi’s class meeting and fell into thought. She always prepared her lessons seriously. She never thought there was anything wrong with her teaching, as many students still got good grades. However, she found that Zhu Yanyi’s method was easier for people to accept.
But if she were to use this way to educate the children, she didn’t have the ability. Yet, at this moment, she had an idea. She thought she could occasionally change her teaching style. Education didn’t always have to be in a serious atmosphere; it could occasionally have a little fun. Teacher Zhou made a decision in her heart to think carefully about what to do next.
Zhu Yanyi’s teaching method was undoubtedly very effective. At least, from first grade to fifth grade, this class was always first in the grade. Zhu Yanyi was always first in the grade, becoming the undisputed top student of Zhenxiao Primary School.
Five years passed quietly. In five years, Zhu Yanyi grew from a six-year-old little girl into an eleven-year-old pretty girl. No one knew how deep her medical skills had become. Anyway, in Sicheng Town, there was no illness that could stump her.
In five years, Zhu Yanyi had become a household name in Sicheng Town as the "Medical Buddha Girl." Now everyone knew that if they had difficult illnesses, they didn’t need to specially go to big hospitals. Some people even came from big hospitals in the city to find Zhu Yanyi. Locals believed that as long as they went to Zhu Yanyi, the "Medical Buddha Girl," it would definitely work.
"Captain, the graduation exam is coming soon, followed by the entrance exam. Do you want to organize an activity for our graduating class?" As Zhu Yanyi had expected, in third grade, she joined the Young Pioneers school brigade. She became the deputy captain right after joining. In fourth grade, after the original captain graduated and entered middle school, Zhu Yanyi was elected as the Young Pioneers captain. Her prestige in Zhenxiao Primary School was very strong because her tutoring made Class (3) the most outstanding grade in all of Sicheng Town Primary School.
"That’s fine. The final sprint is approaching. It’s not a good idea to just study hard all the time. Let’s organize it. This Sunday, all students in the graduating class will go for a picnic in Sicheng Mountain. The vice-captain and the organization committee member will be responsible for calculating the specific costs."
