Ultimate Teacher

Chapter 54. You lack spirit!

Lu Jian is a legendary figure in the education circle of Huacheng. He was called the "prime minister of the academic circle" by the former prime minister, and has been received by national and foreign leaders many times.This shows his high status and deep qualifications.

A few decades ago, Huaxia Guangnan was a province with weak education. Compared with some provinces in the north with high college entrance examinations, there were only a handful of students who could be admitted to prestigious schools, and the enrollment rate was extremely unsatisfactory.

When Lu Kai returned from studying abroad, he immediately devoted himself to the cause of strengthening education in southern China.He reformed the way of education, led the raising of funds from various channels such as government investment and private donations to increase investment in the education industry, and invited outstanding talents from all over the country and the world to take up important positions here.

He has successively served as the principal of nine schools including Huacheng High School, Huacheng No. [-] High School, No. [-] High School, No. [-] High School, Guangnan No. [-] Middle School, and Huacheng Normal University High School.He does not collect money, does not greedy for power, and when he finds that someone is more suitable for the position of principal than him, he immediately abdicates and makes way for a virtuous person.

The predecessor of Suzaku Middle School was Huacheng No. 29 Middle School, which was also the school where he served as the last principal. No. 29 High School is the worst school in Huacheng, ranking last in both the school environment and student performance.

He proposed to reform the school system and introduce private funds to set up elite schools.The government accepted Lu Kai's proposal, and the 29th Middle School was renamed Suzaku High School. After receiving the injection of external funds, the hard environment of the school was transformed, and the excellent teachers in the society were recruited with generous salaries. After more than ten years of hard work by countless people, Finally, it has been built into a famous school that is second to none in Huacheng and even in the whole of China.

In the past few decades, the education industry in Southern China has also been greatly improved. Every year, countless students are admitted to the top ten schools in the country, and there are also many students who are directly recruited by famous foreign schools.

Lu Kai was old and tired. After resigning from the post of principal of Zhuque High School, he stayed in his old house by the Que River to spend his days.

Later, Suzaku Middle School rebuilt a batch of teaching and staff buildings, and prepared a dedicated small courtyard for the school leaders.Lu Kai was unwilling to move into these new houses, and still lived in the small building where he lived before.

Fang Yan followed his grandfather into the small courtyard, and an old lady with a kind face walked out to greet her quickly, and said with a smile on her face: "Fang Yan, you two ran out, didn't you have breakfast?"

"Drink a full stomach of tea." Lu said. "Is there any sweet potato porridge?"

"It's still hot in the pot. Shall I cook two more side dishes for you?"

"No. Porridge is fine," Lu said. "Fang Yan, you can eat a bowl too."

"Okay." Fang Yan readily agreed.

"It's better to fry two dishes." The old lady insisted.I used to miss my grandson, but Fang Yan has been living in the north, and the old couple rarely have a chance to see each other.Now that her grandson is working beside them, she naturally has to take care of Fang Yan's daily life.

"Whatever." Lu said, waving his hands.

The old lady happily went to stir-fry side dishes. Fang Yan and Lu Kai sat at the dining table, and each filled a bowl of sweet potato porridge and began to eat.

"Grandma's porridge is really good." Fang Yan praised.

Lu Kai raised his head and glanced at Fang Yan, carefully chewing the food in his mouth, without speaking.

Fang Yan understood what grandpa meant, and shut up knowingly.

He knew that grandpa kept to the habit of not eating or sleeping.When eating, he doesn't like to talk or listen to others.

Grandma moved swiftly, and quickly brought up two side dishes for dinner.One is oily lettuce, and the other is fried pork with green beans.

Fang Yan enjoyed his meal, so he added another bowl of porridge.Lu Kai put down the bowl and chopsticks, indicating that he was full.

Fang Yan ate another bowl of side dishes, and then put down his chopsticks in satisfaction.

"Follow me to the study." Lu said.After speaking, get up and go first.

"Okay." Fang Yan agreed.

"I just threw the bowl away, and I didn't let anyone sit down and rest--" Grandma complained while cleaning the table.

Lu didn't respond, and took Fang Yan up to the study on the second floor.

Lu Kai's study is a full two hundred square meters, occupying more than half of the entire second floor.The other half is the terrace, where you can sit down, drink tea, smoke a cigarette or play Wu Qin Xi twice to exercise.

Except for a wooden table and chairs, the study room is full of bookshelves.The bookshelves are full of books of different colors and sizes.

There are only copies of Ming and Qing Dynasties, manuscripts of unofficial history, biographies of famous masters, general history of Chinese history and world history, Tang poetry and Song poetry, philosophy, education, music and fine arts--this is not so much a study as a small book museum.

What impressed Fang Yan the most was that Lu Jian is not the kind of arty person who deliberately buys these books and hides them at home in order to show outsiders that he is knowledgeable. He is a true book lover, and he has most of these books. I have read it, and even made a lot of comments and wrote dozens of reading notes in it.

The reason why Lu Kai retired early was also because he felt that these 'old friends' were left out in the cold.

Fang Yan didn't have many opportunities to come to the south, and the number of times he was able to enter his grandfather's study was even more rare.He looked enviously at the huge study room, and reached out to pull out a thread-bound copy of "Zuo Zongtang's Fun and Interests Collection" from the bookshelf.

"Stop." Lu Jian shouted.

Fang Yan quickly withdrew his hands and looked at Lu Kai in puzzlement.

"Clean your hands first." Lu Kai pointed to the corner of the wall and said.

"My hands are clean."

"That's what you thought."

Fang Yan smiled wryly, and had no choice but to run to wash his hands and wipe them clean with a white towel before he dared to touch these little babies.

"Every book is the painstaking effort of the author. Be respectful to the words." Lu Kai said educationally.

"I understand." Fang Yan looked at the "Liu Sanbian's Romance History" in his hand and was immediately full of respect.

Lu Kai sat down at the desk, looked at Fang Yan and said, "Fang Yan, do you want to make Du Qing a friend?"

"It can't be regarded as making friends." Fang Yan smiled. He walked in front of Lu Kai and explained, "It's like taking advantage of each other. He wants to take advantage of you, and I want to take advantage of him---"

"Teaching and educating people well, how can I use it?"

Fang Yan smiled wryly, and said, "Grandpa, I thought so too. But haven't you seen the actual situation? I didn't recruit anyone to be my language teacher, but they came to me like this-- --Two fists can't beat four hands, no matter how strong the boss is, it can't beat a gang fight. There must be a teammate to help at the critical moment. Even if you don't help, stand aside and shout, that's fine---"

Lu opened his eyes and pondered, and said, "Have you found the person behind the scenes?"

"We found it," Fang Yan said.

"Who is it?" Lu opened his eyes sharply and said in a cold voice.

Fang Yan knew Grandpa's stubborn temper, if he knew who the enemy was, he would definitely have a fight with him to the death.He is strict with himself, but also quite pampering.

"Grandpa, let me handle this matter myself." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Letting an old man take the lead in everything, doesn't it make your grandson seem incompetent?"

"Pay attention to safety." Lu Kai warned. "It's not like it used to be."

"I understand." Fang Yan agreed.

"Teach and educate people well, and bring out a few more good seedlings--I don't ask you to make everyone in your class look like a dragon and tiger. I also know that this is unrealistic. But, bring more When a good student comes out, this is a great contribution to society." Lu Kai said earnestly.He has been an educator all his life, so he will 'educate' people whenever he gets the chance.

This is why grandma repeatedly asked Fang Yan to stay and still insisted on renting a house outside.He is not afraid of his grandfather and father who know martial arts, but he is afraid of this scholar grandfather who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

"I will try my best to learn from my grandfather." Fang Yan took advantage of the situation and flattered him.

Lu opened his face a little better, and said: "I didn't approve of letting you learn martial arts before. In peaceful times, what are you doing learning those fighting and killing skills all day long? Isn't it enough to get up every morning and practice "Five Animals" and a few laps of Tai Chi?" Have you used it? Reading more books is the right way, and you have a poetry and book spirit in your belly."

"Grandpa said so." Fang Yan thought of the burning sensation in his dantian again, and he knew that he must have been touched by something, otherwise such a situation would not have happened.Said: "Grandpa faced so many powerful enemies today, he didn't evade and didn't give in, watching it made people's blood boil with admiration."

"Strong enemy? Just a gangster." Lu Kai sneered. "They are afraid of me. I don't have them. Du Qing worked hard from the bottom, and naturally realized that life is not easy. What good does it do for them to break my old bones?"

"If only I could be like my grandfather." Fang Yan said with a smile.This sentence is not entirely flattering, but also has his real thoughts.When he saw his grandfather say the words "I know you have a lot of money and a lot of disciples, today I want to see what you can do to me" in a haughty manner, his heart was really touched.

"Why can't you do it?" Lu Kai asked back. "You have learned a lot since you were a child, and your kung fu surpasses that of your peers. You can write well, draw well, know how to play the piano, and can play the flute----you are smart and observant. You have more than me. You are much more than many people, why can't you do it?"

"------" Fang Yan looked at Grandpa in surprise, does this old man think so highly of himself?

"Because you lack spirit." Lu said with a straight face. "A man has no words and no weight, and a man has no soul and no stand. The reason why Madam is a man is not because of her body, but because of her spirit. Napoleon was five feet and two inches, but he rode his horse and pointed his sword across the world and became a great man of his generation. Fang Yan, you have so many talents, why can't you get what you want?"

spirit!

You lack spirit!

Fang Yan seemed to be possessed by a demon, these words kept turning over and over in his mind.

The burning sensation at the dantian was strong again, as if a hole had been burned in the flesh.

His forehead was dripping with sweat, and his face became extremely embarrassed.

boom-----

There was a sharp pain in his head, like a firework bursting and a galaxy exploding.

The sky is full of stars and rain, brilliant and dazzling.
