Chapter 263 He Daqing as a teacher
He Daqing asked,
"Qiuye, are you talking about the Children's Palace in Jingshan?"
"Yes. Brother He, look... can I invite you to go?"
Ran Qiuye said embarrassedly.
She knew that He Daqing was a busy man. Apart from other things, just managing Fengze Garden every day was busy enough. But then again, she had also been preparing for this event for a long time.
After much thought, it seems that this trip to the Children's Palace will be more meaningful only if He Daqing goes with me.
"Okay, you tell me a time. But I've never been a teacher, so if I make a mistake, don't laugh at me!"
He Daqing grinned and nodded in agreement without hesitation.
The Children's Palace mentioned by Ran Qiuye is actually located to the north of the Forbidden City, and was later called Jingshan Park.
Jingshan is relatively high, and standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Forbidden City.
In fact, in the early days of the founding of the country, this place was an important garrison.
Just six or seven years ago, with the withdrawal of the army, Jingshan was reopened to the public. Not only was a Children's Palace established, but it also became a Children's Palace where everyone can visit.
Anyway, they are not far from each other. For He Daqing, it is quite interesting to participate in such activities when he is bored.
"Then let's meet at the gate of Red Star Elementary School next Saturday and go together then, okay?"
When Ran Qiuye heard He Daqing's agreement, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"No problem! I'll take Yuhao and the others with me then!"
He Daqing smiled and nodded, then sent Ran Qiuye away from the civilian canteen.
On Saturday, He Daqing rode his bicycle with He Yuhao sitting in the front and Yi Miao in the back. The three of them rode all the way to the gate of Hongxing Primary School.
Although this era was poor, there were still many entertainment and extracurricular activities for students.
When the father and his two sons arrived at the school gate, they saw Ran Qiuye, who had already brought all the school staff, divided them into six teams according to the classes, and was maintaining order there.
Yan Bugui, a teacher at Hongxing Primary School, was obviously among them and was responsible for leading the team.
There is no other way. When taking so many people out at once, safety factors must be carefully considered.
"Hey, uncle, you are here too?"
Seeing He Daqing, Yan Bugui hurriedly took two steps forward and came up to him with a smile.
"It was not because Teacher Ran invited me to speak to the students that I came here shamelessly. If I had known that you were here, Old Yan, I would not have come!"
He Daqing smiled modestly and said casually.
Yan Bugui is recognized as the most educated person in the courtyard and a native of Beijing. With this kind of teacher around, He Daqing does feel that he is a bit redundant.
"How can that be possible!"
Yan Bugui grinned and said,
"Uncle, you are this, I can't compare to you. I think it is the right decision for Teacher Ran to invite you here!"
As he said this, he gave He Daqing a thumbs up.
In the entire courtyard, Yan Bugui did feel that he was cultured, but he still admired He Daqing very much.
Although he was educated, Yan Bugui was not able to handle big situations. But He Daqing was different. He had seen many big situations, and his words and deeds were far beyond the reach of a primary school teacher like him.
"Brother He!"
When Ran Qiuye saw He Daqing, she ran over happily, her eyes full of joy.
He pulled He Daqing and turned to look at the students.
"Everyone should know this guy. Yes, he is the manager of Fengze Garden, Comrade He Daqing!"
"Today, on our way to the Children's Palace, Comrade He Daqing will give us a different lesson. Please welcome him with applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the applause at the scene became extremely enthusiastic, without even Ran Qiuye leading the way.
There is no other reason. During this period of time, these students have all visited He Daqing's civilian canteen and even got a lot of coupons.
The food in the cafeteria was so delicious. The most important thing was that these children received praise from their parents when they returned home.
And all of this was brought to them by He Daqing.
In fact, in the hearts of these students, He Daqing's position is higher than Ran Qiuye.
"Hello, Teacher He!"
A student shouted loudly.
Soon, more students began to call He Daqing "teacher".
Seeing this scene, Yan Bugui, who was standing by, was also filled with envy.
He has been a teacher all his life and although he has many students, he has never experienced this kind of heartfelt respect from his students.
After all, he is an uncle.
That’s the ability!
He Yuhao and Yi Miao, who were standing in the team, were also very proud.
After all, they are He Daqing's closest people, and seeing He Daqing so popular, they feel proud from the bottom of their hearts.
"No, no, I'm just a cook."
He Daqing waved his hand and said modestly,
"I hope that I can be friends with everyone, and that we can learn from each other, communicate with each other, and grow together!"
As he spoke, he led the children of Hongxing Primary School all the way towards Jingshan Park.
There were not many means of transportation in that era, and there were no buses like those in later generations that could carry hundreds or thousands of people away at once. The only option was to use the most primitive means of transportation - walking!
Fortunately, this place is not far from Jingshan.
He Daqing walked in front and asked as he walked,
"Do you know what Jingshan was called in ancient times?"
"I know!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his son He Yuhao responding.
He Daqing was quite speechless, and turned around and pointed to another child.
"you say!"
The little girl blinked and said shyly,
"I heard from my father that there used to be a lot of coal there, so it was called Coal Hill. And... I heard that the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself on the crooked tree there!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the students of Red Star Primary School were in an uproar.
He Daqing nodded secretly.
The little girl is right.
Jingshan is also called Coal Hill. Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself here.
Anyone who lives in Beijing should know this story, but the children vary and some may not know it.
He Daqing looked at the children and said with a smile,
"Okay, let's start today with the story of Emperor Chongzhen hanging himself."
Since Ran Qiuye invited him to be a teacher and wanted to say something unique, He Daqing thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to give the children a history lesson.
After all, the current primary school curriculum only includes Chinese and mathematics, and other courses are rare.
It is also a good idea to let children establish a correct historical perspective from an early age.
"The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty of the Han people, and it was also a dynasty with great backbone."
Under the curious gaze of the crowd, He Daqing leisurely told the story about the Ming Dynasty.
