The chubby boy, Versace, followed Su Yu's movements with his gaze.
Then, next to where he was standing, there was a ruler!
Versace was startled and stopped eating the fruit in his hand.
But he naturally swallowed a mouthful of air and was so startled that he burped.
Then I remembered what my mother, Liu Ruyu, had said at breakfast earlier.
He immediately sat up very straight and respectfully.
His previous carefree attitude vanished without a trace.
His eyes curved under his eyebrows, forming crescent shapes.
He then revealed his neat, white teeth and said with a smile.
"Mr. Su, Sizhe is ready."
"Sir, what are we learning today?"
The same words, but the tone was completely different.
The addition of some interjections further accentuated the childlike cuteness.
Looking at the chubby boy's instantly obedient, ingratiating, and fawning appearance.
Su Yu tilted her head slightly and glanced at Versace.
He couldn't help but smile, and a person came to mind.
A crescent moon, wrinkles crinkling her face as she smiled, and a fawning smile.
Su Yu smiled slightly and shook her head.
Versace, isn't this just a mini version of Wang Qinian?
That is to say, she is still young, her skin is still tender, and she doesn't have many wrinkles yet.
Seeing the smile on Su Yu's face, Versace breathed a slight sigh of relief.
His gaze remained fixed on the new, thickened ruler.
Then, Su Yu crossed the line using the ruler.
He took something from the side drawer and walked over.
Versace then gently patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
I'm glad I was quick-witted just now, otherwise I would have been spanked.
But after being frightened, the chubby boy didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
He simply sat obediently in his seat, waiting for Su Yu to begin her lesson.
It was just a basic elementary education class, nothing special.
Su Yu took out a copy of the "Three Character Classic" and a copy of the "Thousand Character Classic".
Another book, "The Mathematical Classic," was published.
Versace glanced at it, his expression blank, clearly showing no interest.
I just picked up that book of mathematical classics and found it slightly more pleasing to the eye.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.
He then placed the item he had just taken from the drawer in front of Versace.
A small, exquisitely crafted, golden abacus.
This was specially commissioned by Su Yu and crafted by artisans at a considerable cost.
Of course, the sentiment was personal, but the money was withdrawn from the Fan family's accounts.
But when it comes to gift-giving, it's all about the sentiment.
Consider this a gift for my disciple.
After all, taking the chubby boy as an apprentice brought him quite a few good rewards.
Moreover, giving him this thing will be more beneficial to his studies.
Versace's eyes lit up and immediately shone with golden light.
His face was now filled with surprise and ecstasy.
The chubby boy stared at Su Yu in disbelief, and said excitedly.
"Sir, is this... a gift for me?"
Su Yu smiled faintly and nodded.
"kindness."
"It's for you."
The chubby boy was overjoyed and even bit into the abacus with his teeth.
He then nodded contentedly and took the abacus in his hand.
He stood up again and respectfully bowed to Su Yu.
"Thank you, sir."
Su Yu nodded and waved for him to sit down.
He then spoke calmly.
"Didn't you just ask me what we're learning today?"
Versace's smile remained unchanged as he looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu pointed to the small golden abacus in Versace's hand, and then picked up the book "Mathematical Classic".
"Learn abacus mental arithmetic."
"Let's start learning with numbers."
Of course, we should also learn the Three Character Classic and other classic texts.
But today's first lesson is to start learning abacus mental arithmetic.
Start by teaching him to recognize numbers and to use an abacus.
Of course, it's just about recognizing it; there's no need to learn how to use it yet.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time.
When Versace heard Su Yu's words, his face was full of disbelief.
Surprisingly, it wasn't about studying those scriptures or texts.
Why is he so different from all the other teachers?
At the same time, I also felt a deep respect for Mr. Su.
Versace smiled and nodded.
Okay, learning abacus is good.
He just likes this.
Then, Su Yu began to speak.
Meanwhile, Versace was sitting attentively in his seat, listening to Su Yu's lecture.
It wasn't the kind of earnestness that was feigned to avoid getting beaten up.
Rather, it is a genuine display of seriousness stemming from liking, curiosity, and a thirst for knowledge.
At this moment, there was not a trace of the usual arrogance or mischief on Versace's face.
Su Yu nodded in satisfaction, a hint of approval in her eyes.
This chubby kid genuinely likes things related to numbers.
Well, to be precise, it's something related to money.
This further confirms his previous view.
Starting with a child's interests is the best way to teach them.
Versace is carefully recording what he has learned today, stroke by stroke.
Su Yu then relaxed and watched him take notes.
After finishing the lesson, Su Yu assigned homework to Fan Sizhe.
Go to the accounting office and watch the accountants use their abacuses.
Ideally, you should use your own little abacus and follow along with the calculations.
Su Yu didn't expect him to learn it in a day; she just wanted him to become familiar with it.
Versace left the study happily, and before leaving, he smiled and bowed to Su Yu to take his leave.
After attending this class, he changed his opinion of Mr. Su and was filled with admiration.
Suddenly I understand why my sister likes Mr. Su so much.
After teaching Versace, Su Yu returned to the courtyard.
I sat on the bench and reviewed my books for a while.
So he simply opened the system and clicked on his apprentice's panel.
Let's look at the data on newly recruited apprentices.
With a thought, Su Yu saw a blue panel appear before her eyes.
