Chapter 222 The longed for future

In this world, multiplication tables and vertical calculations are not popular. The grassroots people have few opportunities to come into contact with arithmetic because it is not a necessary skill.

Of course, political officials and businessmen who deal with finances must be proficient in arithmetic, but this education is usually limited to a small number of people, while others naturally acquire these skills through practice.

In other words, it is necessary to develop arithmetic skills through the application of arithmetic in real life and in actual combat. Whether it is used in business or magic, this kind of mental training is developed through practice.

As a result, multiplication tables were not widely available, and vertical arithmetic was not considered a common skill. Generally, people did mental arithmetic, with the slide rule analogue in this world only serving as an aid.

"Hmm? Brother, you are awesome, right? I heard that this teaching material was also made by you." Paspiel asked Ye Kai with full trust.

"It's not a lie. It took me at least thirty days to memorize the multiplication table. I stared at it every day, muttering to myself. When I went to bed at night, my head was filled with the sound of numbers. It was a nightmare."

His confession elicited laughter from the children. Some nodded in agreement, perhaps because they had the same experience.

“It may sound strange for me to say this, but there are a lot of kids here who have difficulty. If you don’t give up, you can definitely get through it. But this experience may make you think ‘math is boring and painful’. Once you think that, the situation becomes serious. People can’t stay passionate about painful things.”

So Ye Kai moved the multiplication table to Paspier and suggested that he solve the problem. In this way, Paspier could also do the vertical calculation of multiplication while looking at the table and finally get the correct answer.

“Look, it worked. Bingo.”

"yeah!"

Paspier looked very happy when Ye Kai patted his shoulder and put his hand on his head.

"You feel happy after solving it, right? If you just work hard to memorize the multiplication table, such a problem can be solved easily. Wouldn't that be more interesting?"

"Um!"

Ye Kai tries to guide through successful experiences. This is a common educational method, but it is also effective. Once you experience the fun, the future path will become clearer.

"Brother, I will work hard and contribute to the country!" Paspier made a major decision.

"Why?"

“Uh, brother, isn’t this the reason you taught us to study…?” Paspiel realized that he had said the wrong thing and looked at Ye Kai with confusion.

“No, not at all. I never thought that education was for that.”

“Then what is the purpose of my study?”

Ye Kai prompted Paspier to turn around, and then said, "Everyone listen. I want you to work hard for yourselves. From now on, you will gradually grow into adults. In the process, I believe you will have all kinds of dreams. Because you like to make things, you want to become a manufacturer. Because you like to cook, you want to be a chef and see others enjoy the food you make. Because you want to make money, you want to be a businessman. And, because you want to have fewer unfortunate children like us, you want to make changes for the country and become someone who can influence the country's destiny."

Ye Kai looked at everyone carefully, and some children looked at him with awe in their eyes. They might think these ideas were too idealistic.

"Because you want to protect someone, you want to pick up a sword and become a strong person. However, this also requires education. One person can only protect a small part of those around him. If you want to protect everyone, you must use the hands of others. Literacy is essential to convey your intentions. Arithmetic is also necessary to determine how many weapons you need in battle and how much preparation you need to make. With education, everything will go more smoothly."

Education is also needed in places where there is no affinity at first sight. To illustrate this point, specific examples are given to explain.

"I want to help you realize your dreams, so I give you time to study. So you don't have to work for the country, you can be whoever you want to be. I want you to be free to spread your wings and fly in the sky of your dreams. As long as you exert your full strength in the path you choose, everyone can be enriched. I and the people around you can be happy. This is the future I dream of."

Fino and the staff held their eyes. Cham and Tulio smiled and nodded. The children listened to what Ye Kai said about the future, smiled, and their hearts were filled with hope. Hope is within reach. Ye Kai made them believe it.

“But I’m a little bothered.”

The children tilted their heads in confusion at the suddenly suspicious words.

“There is a serious shortage of staff to manage the Ludo Foundation and run this orphanage. But it has been decided to build facilities like this one in other places.”

Faced with this heroic figure before them, no one knew how to react.

“If it continues like this, it will be impossible to cope. So if anyone is willing to help this poor father and help me manage the fund and the yard, I would be very happy.”

Finally, the children's brows also frowned.

“That’s a really tricky question.”

Cham's words caused everyone to laugh.

Of course, if there are children who want to become political officials, Ye Kai will not mind recommending them to Graud. The same is true for other professions.

But by being honest and sincere, they will seriously consider choosing their own path. This is also a necessary procedure and a way to convey Ye Kai's feelings.

Afterwards, the children gathered in the courtyard and waited quietly for the arrival of the Senel's bird. For the children, this scene was like a reward, especially for those who liked them.
