Chapter 157 Shocking Yan Bugui (55)

When passing by a state-owned store, He Yuzhu remembered that he still had to learn abacus, so he walked in.

Just as he paid the bill and was about to leave with his abacus, a few neighbors walked in from the front door and asked the boss,

"Comrade Xiao Ma, does your store have portraits of the leader?

We would like to take two of them back home to post.”

Hearing that the people wanted a portrait of the leader, Ma Guangsheng, the owner of the state-owned store in Maoer Hutong, was startled for a moment, then he reacted.

"Hello comrade, we don't have any portraits of the leader here.
But your idea is very good.
I will report this to my superiors.

But this matter concerns the safety of the teacher, so it must be approved by him. If he allows it, I believe you will get what you want in a few days."

"Thank you, thank you Comrade Ma, then we will go home and wait for your good news."

After returning to the courtyard, He Yuzhu started cooking. Not long after, Yan Bugui, who had just returned from get off work, also came to the middle courtyard.
"Zhu Zi, I heard from your Aunt Yan that you really became an activist today and even brought back some food.

Is the work of the branch really as simple as writing and calculating? "

Although he didn't know what this guy wanted to do, thinking that he would have to learn abacus with him later, He Yuzhu nodded and said,

"Anyway, I'm just doing some calculations for now. I even bought an abacus for this purpose.

I am planning to come to your house to learn from you after dinner!"

When Yan Bugui heard that He Yuzhu was going to learn abacus, he felt that it must be true and had an idea in mind.

And he said without thinking,
"It's not a pillar. Why did you buy an abacus? It's not that easy to learn. There are five kinds of formulas alone, which makes it even more troublesome to use."

Seeing that he was asking about the abacus, He Yuzhu took the opportunity to tell him about today's assessment.

Then he continued,

"Uncle Yan, you are the math teacher at the school. You can teach me abacus very easily.

Don't worry, I won't let you teach in vain!"

Hearing He Yuzhu say that he would not teach in vain, Yan Bugui immediately agreed with a smile.
As if afraid that he would regret it,

"After dinner, come to my house with your abacus.
It just so happens that my son Jie Cheng is not very good at using the abacus either, so let him practice with you later."

Seeing how anxious he was, although he didn't know what he was up to, He Yuzhu didn't care and agreed directly.

Waiting for He Daqing to come home from get off work and hear his son talking about this matter,
He smiled and said,

“I know about this. Since the leader specifically mentioned the abacus, you should learn it well.

Maybe there will be better opportunities waiting for you in the future.
You must grasp it well.

As for Old Yan, I will come back from get off work tomorrow to get the money. You can cut two pounds of meat for him the day after tomorrow and feed him well to prevent him from being dishonest and dishonest.

If he dares to play tricks, we are in the right, and I will have a reason to beat him up then."

As long as you have a clear mind, you will not have to worry about anything.

When He Yuzhu took the abacus to Yan Bugui's house at night, he really only taught him the basics.

Only after the pork was delivered to his house did the old man start to teach the real things.

Moreover, this old man is not really a good guy. He taught all the five abacus formulas at once, without even a little buffer time. "Zhu Zi, let me first tell you the formulas for using the abacus.

Please remember this carefully.

Addition formula: one plus one, ... nine plus nine; two down five minus three, ...; one minus nine plus one, ... nine minus one plus one.

……

The formula for the division is: if there is no division, subtract one and you get one, ... if there is no division, subtract one and you get nine. "

After reading it three or four times, Yan Bugui asked with a smile,
"How about it, Zhuzi, don't say Uncle Yan didn't teach you, I taught you everything, so how about it, did you remember it?"

To be honest, these 5 formulas sound very easy to remember, and they are almost all repeated. But because they are all repeated, they are particularly difficult to understand.
Seeing that this old man was about to give up after reciting the formula a few times,
He Yuzhu naturally couldn't let him succeed.
"Uncle Yan, this is too mean. You only taught me the formula a few times for two pounds of meat. Isn't that a bit outrageous? Then I'll have to ask my dad to come find you."

Unexpectedly, Yan Bugui said indifferently,

"Zhu Zi, please don't talk nonsense.
You know, knowledge is priceless. I will teach you the formula a few times, and then guide you through the calculations a few times. The rest is up to you to practice on your own. There is nothing more to teach you.
As for whether you can learn it, that depends on your personal talent. Even if you ask your father to come, I would still say the same thing."

After all my calculations, I was tricked by Yan Bugui this time.

He Yuzhu was also quite speechless.

But since the meat has been given, I might as well learn everything I need to learn, just in case it is easy to actually operate.

"Okay! Then you can teach me how to use the abacus now, and we'll see how it works after you've taught me everything."

Seeing He Yuzhu admit defeat, Yan Bugui took the abacus and started playing with it.
After teaching it a few times,
Yan Bugui stopped teaching and put down his abacus and said with a smile,
"How about it, Zhuzi? Did you learn it this time? If not, come and cut another two pounds of meat and bring it to me in two days, and I'll teach you again."

Although He Yuzhu still felt that he was still a little uneasy in using it, he had understood everything he needed to understand.
The rest is just like what he said, just practice on your own.

Looking at Yan Bugui who thought he had him under control, He Yuzhu nodded with a smile.
"I have learned from Uncle Yan,

I think you are right. This thing is really simple. You can understand it after practicing it a few times. After understanding it, you just need to practice more.
At most in one or two months I will be able to use it very well, and I won’t have to cut my flesh and come to your house again.”

Yan Bugui has taught students for so many years, and he has never seen anyone who can learn abacus just by listening to the formulas a few times or being taught a few times.

I thought He Yuzhu said that because he didn't want to spend more money on more things.

So I tested him.

"Zhu Zi, we shouldn't brag.
Since you said you have learned it, then you should recite this formula first, and then calculate it twice with an abacus, so that I can see if you have really learned it. "

"No problem Uncle Yan!"

After that, He Yuzhu began to recite the abacus formulas.

"...

Subtraction formula: one down, one down, ... nine down, nine; one up, four minus five, ...; one back off, one back to nine, ... nine back off, one back to one.

The nine-number formula for division is: whenever you get one, add one; ... whenever you get nine, add nine.

The formula for division quotient of nine: if you see one and there is no division, make it nine-one, ... if you see nine and there is no division, make it nine-nine.

......"

Yan Bugui was very surprised to hear that He Yuzhu was able to memorize the abacus formulas completely after just listening to them a few times.
I already feel a little excited.
When I saw He Yuzhu calculating on the abacus seriously,
I knew immediately that I had miscalculated.
