Song Yao was really busy. On his way to school after dinner, even though he would no longer be responsible for the chickens at home because of school, he still took the time to catch several grasshoppers and carefully put them on the table that his grandfather had cooked for him. In the bamboo tube, I plan to take it home to feed the chickens after school.

A child on the roadside who also went to school saw him catching grasshoppers again and admired him very much: "Yao'er, you are so good to your chickens."

Although most children have to help with housework, they still don't want to work and just want to play around. Only Song Yao, whose family doesn't let him work, still takes the initiative to do it.

Because Song Yao volunteered to help the family, Grandma Song didn't want to dampen her grandson's enthusiasm, so she gave him the most leisurely job of feeding chickens. After all, feeding chickens only requires throwing away the rotten vegetables, leaves, and leftovers that the family doesn't eat. Just put it on the ground and then call the chicken to eat it.

After all, everyone is just barely able to stay hungry, and it is impossible to give the chickens good food. Most of the time, the chickens in the village fend for themselves.

However, Xiao Songyao was very interested in these chickens. Since he took over the chicken raising at home, he began to study how to raise these five chickens. He not only knew how to catch grasshoppers, earthworms, snails, and other things to feed them , and sometimes even take them to the waterside to eat grass seeds and small insects.

When all the chickens in the village slept on trees, Song Yao even built a special chicken coop for them to sleep in.

Although the chicken coop was made by him alone, the child could not move the heavy stone, and the final product was an irregular polygon. At least after the parents saw it, they could not say no for a long time when faced with Song Yao, who looked proud and begged for praise. Say a word.

But obviously, from the chicken's perspective, this chicken coop is very luxurious.

The Song family's five chickens slept inside that night. Every day when it was getting dark, they clucked and ran home, as if they were worried that their good spot would be taken away if they returned late.

This worry is not unreasonable. After all, sometimes chickens from other chickens sneak in, squeezing around and pretending to be Song chickens.

In addition to the chicken coops for sleeping, Song Yao also made several nests for chickens to lay eggs. He couldn't do this alone, so Grandpa Song made several for him out of bamboo in his spare time. A bamboo basket with hay he picked himself spread out inside.

At that time, many people in the village felt that the Song family pampered their children too much. They raised chickens, provided them with food, and just put a few straw nests at home. They also made a special sleeping nest and a nest for laying eggs. That was not a waste. Time.

That is to say, the Song family is so doting on such a single child. If it were their children, they dared to ask them to weave bamboo baskets specifically for chickens to lay eggs. They would be scolded no matter what kind of nest they made. I have always raised chickens like this before. Don’t the chickens grow well?

Although the Song family was wasting their time doing useless work, considering that Song Yao had always been well-behaved and the Song family only had one child, the villagers just laughed and said nothing.

As a result, after Song Yao's operation, it was not obvious at first. After a month, Grandma Song, who ordered eggs as usual and planned to sell them to the county supply and marketing cooperative, realized that something was wrong.

Eggs are sold once a month, because there have always been five chickens at home, and the number does not change much. In the past, it was either one or two more, or one or two less, and even if there was a fluctuation, it was only a small amount.

As a result, there were fifty more people this time.

Grandma Song was shocked.

Her first reaction was, it's over, did Yao'er pick up the eggs laid by other people's chickens?

When I went to the village and asked about it, I found that the number of eggs saved by everyone did not fluctuate much. Several families even said that their chickens went to Song Yao's house to lay eggs. However, Song Yao found out and gave away the chickens and eggs. go back.

When she found out that Grandma Song didn't know about this, she praised Song Yao repeatedly, praising Song Yao for knowing not to take things from other people at a young age. The Song family taught her well.

At that time, Grandma Song recalled that her grandson would go to the chicken coop every day when he was free. She would not be afraid of the hard work of picking out other people's chickens and sending them back. When I sent the chicken and eggs back, what I was thinking was probably not what the other party thought I meant.

So here’s the question, other people’s eggs are not lacking, so where did the fifty extra eggs from my own family come from?

Song Yao, who came back from the county in the evening, answered the question: "Not many. I watch them lay eggs every day and collect them before going out to play. The number of eggs I have saved is correct."

Because other people's chickens like to come to their chicken coop, Song Yao paid special attention not to take mixed eggs. It took him two days to observe which time period each of his five chickens liked to lay eggs. After that, he specially Staring during those periods of time.

The child stretched out his fingers to count for Grandma Song: "When they first started, they laid one egg every two days, and sometimes they laid one egg every three days. Now they basically lay one egg a day, so it's especially easy to pick eggs every day."

Song Yao was very confident. After he successfully made a "Periodic Table of Egg Picking Time", he made no mistakes for seven days. Although it took a bit long, from now on, he only needs to pick eggs at a specific time at home. Just time.

Grandma Song's focus is on one egg a day.

She has been raising chickens for so long, but she has never seen a hen that can lay one egg a day stably.

Is there any difference between Song Yao raising chickens and her previous chicken raising? If you think about it carefully, in addition to catching bugs and taking the chickens out to eat bugs, you also need to frequently change the water and hay for the nest.

This sounds like a lot of trouble, but it is nothing to Song Yao. Catching bugs in the grass is just fun for him. Isn't picking up hay a casual thing? There is hay wherever you play. As for carrying chickens to eat bugs or chickens to eat chickens, it won't affect him at all if he plays with his own.

So before and after receiving the task of raising chickens, Song Yao didn't feel tired at all. She continued to play with herself every day and just collected the eggs when the time came.

Facing his grandma’s question, he answered the question generously: “Chickens are just like people. They feel good when they eat well, drink well, live well, and feel good. Just like if I am willing to practice calligraphy when I feel good, they must also be in a good mood.” I’m willing to lay eggs.”

"And they used to look for food in just a few places. I gave them food every day and took them outside to look for food. When they were full, they slept well, were in good health, and laid eggs easily. There will be more.”

This is actually based on science. People are not full and malnourished, let alone chickens.

Grandma Song did some calculations and felt that it would be more cost-effective to give the five chickens more food every day in exchange for them laying one egg a day. So from then on, the Song family's chickens were happy.

After the village learned about it, they once again lamented that Song Yao was indeed smart. He was even better at raising chickens than others. They also followed suit, but they were not as careful as Song Yao in taking care of them, and they still did not collect as many eggs as the Song family. .

But that was all in the past. Ever since school started in the village, because Song Yao had to spend a lot of time in class every day, Grandma Song took over the matter of feeding the chickens. For this reason, Song Yao was very reluctant to let go.

He said to the kid who was talking to him, "I can't help it. I've been feeding my chickens since they were two months old. Now I can't take them to school because they are all thin."

Child: ...It seems like they only went to school for one day.

But Song Yao didn't think that the day was short. He still looked down seriously for insects that could be eaten by the chickens, and even invited the other party to look for them with him.

The child flatly refused. Although catching grasshoppers was fun, when he thought that it was work, he lost interest. Before leaving, he looked at Song Yao who was trying hard to catch grasshoppers and felt that Song Yao must be interested in the chickens at home. The depth of love.

Song Yao didn't care, and just walked and played, catching bugs, grasshoppers, and snails, and wandering around. When he almost arrived at school, the bamboo tube was already half full.

He closed the lid with satisfaction and planned to go back and feed the chicken as soon as school was over.

When he arrived at the door of the classroom, Song Yao realized that everyone else had arrived. Only his seat was empty in the room, and Teacher He was giving a lecture on the podium.

He was confused and quickly asked 005: [005, what time is it now? 】

005 immediately answered: [9:25. 】

Song Yao: Sure enough, you are late.

Yesterday, when school was over, Teacher He specifically said that the class would start at nine o'clock, so that he could come ten minutes early. However, he was busy making honey and catching bugs in the morning, so he forgot about it after tossing about it.

Song Yao felt guilty for a moment and looked at He Junwen carefully: "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm late."

He Junwen put down the chalk and asked warmly: "Why are you so late?"

She was not angry. It was only today that He Junwen found out that none of the children who came to school had clocks at home. Only the village party secretary had one at home. So in order not to be late, they all came more or less early. There were also a few children because I don’t know the time, but I’m getting late one after another.

It's just that Song Yao came extremely late.

Song Yao felt guilty, but still told the truth: "I caught bugs on the road."

He Junwen was stunned: "Catch bugs? What are you doing catching bugs?"

Song Yao: "Feed the chickens."

A child sitting in the first row interrupted: "Teacher, Song Yaoer often catches bugs to feed the chickens. He really likes his chickens. He catches bugs to feed them every day and takes them to bask in the sun."

The child sitting in the back row also said, "Yes, he even talks to his chicken."

Song Yao heard that he was laughing at her, and immediately retorted, not to be outdone: "I want you to take care of it!"

The child laughed wantonly: "Just take care of it, Song Yao'er talks to the chicken, Song Yao'er talks to the chicken, I said, come and beat me."

He Junwen tensed up. Here comes the problem that every teacher must face: mutual discrimination and rejection among students.

Before she came to Dashu Village, she specifically asked her teacher for advice. The teacher taught her that sometimes she should not only teach students knowledge, but also pay attention to how students get along with each other.

There is no such term as campus bullying yet, but obviously, this behavior has been around since ancient times. Students often reject and isolate classmates for various reasons. Their families are poorer than others, their grades are poor, their clothes are not clean, and sometimes they even have a soft temper. can be the cause of isolation.

When He Junwen came to Dashu Village, he discovered that although this village was very poor, the people in the village had a very upright atmosphere. Most of them were friendly, and even the children below followed suit.

She originally thought that she would not encounter what the teacher said here.

Unexpectedly, it was only the second day that I saw a child laughing at Song Yao.

Seeing Song Yao's clenched fists, she quickly coughed and interrupted the two of them: "Zhao Xiaodong, don't laugh at your classmates. You are just talking to animals. What's so funny."

Seeing Teacher He criticizing Zhao Xiaodong, Song Yao loosened his fist with some regret. He was about to rush over and beat him.

Although Zhao Xiaodong was taller than him, he couldn't beat him every time they fought. This time he was the one who attacked him first. Even if Song Yao beat him to tears, he was not afraid of his parents' complaints.

Although it was a pity that he lost an opportunity to openly beat Zhao Xiaodong and cry, Song Yao still liked Teacher He very much, so he acted obediently and listened quietly to Teacher He.

He Junwen really doesn't think there's anything strange about talking to animals. Her little cousin has a pet rabbit, and she can touch it and say a basket of words every day. Children like small animals and treat small animals as partners. Talking is not normal. ?

"Teacher also talked to turtles when he was a child. This is a normal way of having fun. Students should not laugh at Song Yao just because they don't usually talk to animals. This is wrong."

She looked at Zhao Xiaodong: "Zhao Xiaodong, you are the tallest in the class. Think about it, if everyone laughed at you for being tall, refused to play with you because you were tall, and laughed at you for being different from them, how would you feel?"

Zhao Xiaodong thought about it carefully and didn't know what he thought of. He pursed his lips in grievance, lowered his head and said nothing.

He Junwen: "Teacher knows you are a good boy, just don't laugh at others next time."

After saying that, he looked at Song Yao: "Okay, Song Yao, go back to your seat and be careful not to be late next time. If you want to catch bugs to feed the chickens, you can go out early or catch them after school. I won't punish you today." If you are late next time, the teacher will not be so easy to talk to."

Song Yao nodded and sat in his seat without being affected at all.

He Junwen continued to pick up the chalk and lecture.

Although she is the only teacher in the school, it is still relatively easy to teach. After all, there was no school in Dashu Village before. These children, whether they are five or six years old or twelve or thirteen years old, start learning from scratch and do not need to be divided into classes at all.

Oh no, there is one exception.

After teaching a lesson and asking the students to review and copy by themselves, He Junwen came to Song Yao and began to teach him alone.

There was no way, the others were still learning Pinyin, Song Yao had already finished recognizing the characters, she couldn't let him learn what everyone already knew.

So Song Yao had one-to-one individual teaching.

What surprised He Junwen was that not only did he have a good memory, but he was also able to draw inferences from one instance to another. She could feel his rapid progress even after only teaching him a few classes.

At this moment, she really believed what the villagers said that Song Yao could be admitted to college at a glance. For such a smart child, as long as he is willing to learn, the probability of being admitted to college in the future is really high.

Song Yao didn't know what Teacher He was thinking. He was studying hard.

Although there was a learning system before, there was no one to supervise it, and there were no other children in the village studying. He didn't feel much about learning. He basically just studied when he needed it, and put it down and ran to play when he didn't.

005 Although it needs learning points to maintain energy, Song Yao needs to play. When it needs energy, no matter how much it wants to play, it will still work hard for a few days to replenish its learning points, so gradually it stops pushing (mainly because it can’t be pushed) ).

Things are different now.

All the children in the village are studying, and Teacher He will still watch Song Yaoxue one-on-one. In addition, there is a goal of building a spaceship in front of him. At least during class, Song Yaoxue will still study seriously. .

In He Junwen's eyes, even Song Yao was very focused.

She is more confident that this student will enter college in the future.

During the lunch break, He Junwen was still a little reluctant to leave get out of class. It felt so good to teach a smart student, and she still wanted to teach.

Song Yao, who was taught, had the opposite idea to her. When he was studying seriously, he was immersed in it and didn't feel it. When Teacher He announced that get out of class was over, he realized that he had studied for such a long time and suddenly felt tired everywhere.

005 comforted him: [It's okay, host, you just feel tired because you haven't studied for a long time before. When you study like this every day in the future, you will get used to it and won't feel tired anymore. 】

Song Yao: ...I didn’t feel comforted at all.

During lunch time, he held his bamboo tube and ran home. He watched his chickens lower their heads and eat the bugs with satisfaction. He felt extremely satisfied.

He thought that since class didn't start until two in the afternoon, he could take his precious chickens to the river to eat fresh bugs after dinner, but before that, he still had something to do.

Before eating, Song Yao ran to the village party secretary's house.

The village party secretary had just sent He Junwen away. Before he could take a breath, he saw a small figure running into his house and heading straight for the clock on the table. He was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Yao'er! What are you doing! This watch is very valuable, it costs more than ten yuan! Don't touch it!"

This thing is his father's favorite, and he usually takes a detour.

Song Yao raised his head and looked at the heavy clock on the table: "I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to know why it told the time."

It turned out to be just curiosity. The village party secretary breathed a sigh of relief, but this breath was still too early.

The child then said, "Uncle, can I take it apart and see what's inside?"

Village party secretary: "..."

In the end, Song Yao was carried back to the Song family.

Before leaving, the village party secretary said to him: "I know you wanted to check your watch because you were late. Don't worry, your teacher He went to town to buy a gong. From now on, she will beat the gong every morning at 8:50 for ten minutes." , enough for you to run from home to school."

Song Yao was curious: "Then how does Teacher He know when it is 8:50?"

Village party secretary: "Teacher He has a watch."

Song Yao's eyes lit up, what a watch! !

The village party secretary immediately looked at him alertly: "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, Yao'er, the watch is more expensive than our clock. Don't think about whether to dismantle it or not."

Song Yao was not ignorant. Knowing that what he said was true, he could only nod regretfully, but his heart was still scratching his lungs. He was really curious about what the structure inside was.

After the village party secretary left, Grandma Song also talked to him to ensure that he would not dismantle other people's clocks, and then the family sat down to eat in peace.

After eating, Song Yao took his five precious chickens to the river.

The town was not far away, just at the foot of the mountain. When He Junwen came back with the gong and the gong mallet for beating the gong, she could just see the child sitting on the stone with his back to her, watching a few chickens looking for food.

It seemed like he was still talking to them in a low voice.

She couldn't help but smile, feeling that Song Yao liked small animals more than she thought.

Can even a chicken be a companion?

She stepped forward with a smile and was about to say hello to Song Yao when she heard him mutter:

"Eat more, eat more. All the bugs here are for you to eat. They are delicious and make you fatter."

He Junwen's smile became softer. The child was so cute.

As a result, Song Yao continued to say:

"Come on, come on, I'll give you all these to eat. When they're fat, you can turn them into stewed chicken, roasted chicken, and steamed chicken."
