Chapter 66: Little kids who don’t like to learn

 After the mud embryos were set, the sky was almost dark. Chen Chao asked the construction team to go back to the cave to rest and wait for the meal. He went back to the house and checked the homework of the full-time class by the last daylight.

    First, I checked everyone's homework. The witch's is the best, and the yuan's is medium. The kids are all good at language learning, and they can use it freely after repeating it a few times.

    But this word...

    it's a bit difficult to

    explain ... Mainly because they don't know why they want to learn this, what's the use of learning it, unlike witchcraft, it is immediately useful, and they know why they learn it.

    Chen Chao looked at these crooked, self-styled characters, um, how can someone make characters out of thin air?

    How did this simplified Chinese character for "go" become a painting? Are you almost flying as you walk?

    He pointed to the sandbox table where he made characters out of thin air and asked, "Who wrote this?"

    Wu coughed twice, "Cough cough... Huang... Yan..."

    Huang Yan next to him first looked at Wu and then at Chen. Super, while everyone was not paying attention, he quietly put his hands behind him.

    But how could he escape Chen Chao's eyes? He walked behind everyone and saw Huang Yan holding a few chestnuts in his palm. It should have been when he was busy just now when a certain old man was from where he was preparing to cook. The old attendant took it over.

    When Chen Chao looked at Huang Yan's homework assignments, he not only made the characters out of thin air, they were crooked and messy, he felt that he was out of anger and asked sharply, "Huang Yan, how did you write your characters like this?"

    "Ah? Isn't it right?" Huang Yan shook the chestnut in his palm, a little confused, didn't he write it all? Although it looks a little different in some places, it is indeed finished.

    "Look, do these words of you resemble what other students wrote?" Chen Chao asked patiently.

    The result was an extremely affirmative answer, "Like!"

    Chen Chao...

    After a quick instruction, what was rewarded was Huang Yan's few perfunctory comments. Finally, Chen Chao issued an ultimatum, "Huang Yan didn't have any grilled fish today." After

    deciding the fate of Huang Yan's food tonight, Chen Xinchao looked at it. Looking at a little old man with horns on his hands, he also looks at the back of his hands, and at a glance, he knows that there are several chestnuts in his palms.

    Hey, I didn’t learn how to study well, but eating snacks in class is a matter of self-learning, and the squad leader is the first to take the lead.

    Chen Chao didn't expose the old and young on the spot, but went back to the sand table. He didn't look closely just now, but this time he found a homework second only to Yuan.

    Although it is still a bit crooked, I can see that I have written very seriously. He pointed to the assignment and asked, "Who wrote."

    Witch just eat chestnuts see things not found, a little relieved only replied, "Yes ... small stone."

    Small stone next to a Hearing someone call his name, he hurriedly yelled "Ah..."

    His attention just now was all on the chestnuts in the hands of the little old man and Huang Yan, and his saliva flowed out. When I heard someone call my name, I thought it was the same as before, and it was time to eat.

    Without looking around, he quickly jumped out of the fire pit, and rushed outside.

    As a result, Chen Chao grabbed the animal skin clothes on his body and pulled it back onto the kang with one hand.

    It is reasonable for the little stone to write well, because this product cannot bear the punishment of halving food. Such things as words are just like pictures of cats and tigers, just writing and copying carefully.

    But this kid couldn't learn the language well, and he always didn't want to open his mouth to speak, and was timid about everything except eating. It is estimated that he also knows that he is not as good as other people in language learning, so he wants to get back the game by writing to avoid food being deprived.

    A few months after Little Stone came to the tribe, his yellowish and thin face had obviously improved a lot. Although he didn't have the sturdy feeling of Huang Yan, he could clearly see some flesh on his face.

    But the problem of eating wildly at the time of the meal has not been corrected. It may be that I was hungry before and regarded each meal as the last meal. If you don't control it, this kid can hold himself alive.

    Chen Chao didn't care about him for a few days, and he discovered that this kid groaned (sensitive word) on the ground every time after eating. He went to look at it and found that he had eaten enough food for two adults.

    I don't know where he got the food from. It is estimated that he ate a bite of fish here and two bites of meat there. When everyone saw that he was so thin, they would also distressedly give him a bite or two of food.

    Chen Chao walked back and forth helplessly. He looked at the little boys and old men sitting on the fire pit, and waved his hand, "Today, add two grilled fish to the little stone! Huang Yan did not grill any fish today. Eat, I have to hand in two homework assignments tomorrow afternoon. Class is over!"

    Everyone ran out excitedly when they heard the word'off class'. They had already smelled the aroma of pork stewed chestnuts, grilled fish. The burnt fragrance and the oily smell of roast pork that the three leaders of the tribe enjoyed.

    And Chen Chao leaned on the door frame and looked at these little kids who are doing bird and beast dispersal. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

    He somewhat wondered if he had taught how to write too early. It is difficult to drive some of the native kids in the tribe by the temptation of food alone.

    As soon as they were punished with food, their mother turned around and saved some of her share for them to eat.

    And the most important thing is that I can't prove that learning words is a very useful thing. Sorcery can be used after learning, but how do you convince them to learn words?

    After all, in the previous world, there are endless picture books, and children can get in touch with the larger world by learning words.

    And in the hearts of the little kids here, I guess, as long as the whole tribe has a witchcraft writing, it can record every major event, isn't it all right? Why should we learn what witch has to learn?

    And when we grow up, we don’t become witches. When we grow up we need to join the hunting team/to make pottery/to fish/to have a stone axe...

    But as a modern person, Chen Chao fully understands the importance of words. Language has time and geographical limitations, while text does not, but are these useful to those little kids? !

    Hiccups, but instead of modern kids,

    they probably don’t know what they are studying for when they have not forcibly instilled a certain concept... But it may also be based on the general environment they are in, based on all people In the case of the city, so I never reject the matter of word recognition.

    As for the little kid on the Tianyuan tribe, it’s hard to do it~~ The

    moon climbed on the branch, and it didn’t snow today, but the Tianyuan tribe still chose to have dinner in the cave.

    The members of the tribe, from young adults to children, lined up one by one, holding their pottery bowls to receive today's food from the witches. It's winter, and it can no longer be distributed in small groups as before. At that time, food was easier to obtain, but in winter, it was eating and storing food.

    Therefore, the members of the hunting team also changed from three meals a day to two meals a day. Although other people also had two meals a day, they received less food.

    For example, the hunting team can get three bowls of broth and two grilled fish per person, while the gathering team can only get three bowls of broth and one grilled fish, and so on.

    When the kid was assigned, Chen Chao whispered a few words in the ear of the little old man with the horns, and the little old man happily handed him the right to allocate.

    Seeing Huang Yan holding up his pottery bowl and happily waiting for tonight's food, I knew at a glance that Chen Chao's punishment today was not taken seriously.

    When he saw that he only had a poor bowl of soup, he turned his head and looked at the friends around him, his mouth began to flatten slowly.

    He raised his head and looked at Chen Chao, who was distributing food pitifully, only to see his little stone with two grilled fishes in his hands, and then beckoned him to pass.

    Although Huang Yan felt wronged, he still walked to Chen Chao's side. He didn't know at all, why he missed a grilled fish today.

    Chen Chao touched the stunned Huang Yan, and asked earnestly, "Do you know why you didn't have grilled fish today?"

    Huang Yan shook his head.

    Chen Chao? ? ?

    Chen Chao...
