When the females learned that Fox Jiaojiao was going to teach their cubs personally, they were overjoyed and pulled the cubs out of bed and prepared them before dawn, for fear that Fox Jiaojiao would dislike her and drive their cubs out.
"Jiaojiao, I'll leave our cub in your care."
"If he doesn't obey, hit him with a stick, hit him hard, don't be soft!"
"Jiaojiao..."
As soon as Hu Jiaojiao walked over, she was surrounded by them.
In my ears are the endless voices of females.
Some even picked up the cubs and stuffed them into her hands.
Fox Jiaojiao was originally worried that the beastmen would be reluctant to go to school, but she didn't expect the females to be so enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that she could hardly resist.
After much persuasion, the females were finally persuaded to leave, leaving only a group of cubs.
Compared to the females, the cubs are much more normal.
They were as quiet as chickens and stood in rows nervously.
If you don’t know, you might think they are a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Don't be afraid, I won't eat you." Hu Jiaojiao was a little amused.
She remembered the group of naughty kids bullying her child when she first came here.
It's really a world of difference from the changes today.
Seeing Fox Jiaojiao's gentle expression, the cubs' nervous hearts finally relaxed a little.
"Sister Jiaojiao, what are we going to learn today?" Little Stone was not afraid of Fox Jiaojiao and asked curiously.
"Are you making a catapult or a bow and arrow?" Long Yao stood beside him, raised his paw, and asked interestedly.
After hearing Long Yao's words, the other cubs' eyes lit up.
They all wanted to be able to make such powerful weapons like adults.
"It's not a catapult, nor a bow and arrow." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head and said with a gentle smile:
"What we are going to learn today is papermaking."
That's right, she didn't plan to take paper from the space, and decided to make paper by herself with the cub.
The paper made in this way will make the cubs know how to cherish it and not waste it.
Fox Jiaojiao brought the cubs to the backyard of the school.
She had the orcs deliver wood in advance and prepared the tools for making paper.
Hu Jiaojiao had reviewed the method of papermaking several times in advance and had memorized it by heart.
When the cubs first came into contact with papermaking, they found it very novel, but they still did not have the enthusiasm to make weapons.
"Mother, what is the use of paper?" Long Xiu asked.
"Paper is very useful. Once you learn how to write, you can write down what you want to say on paper. You can tell other orcs without having to speak."
Fox Jiaojiao explained.
"But I have a mouth, why should I use paper to tell others?" Long Zhong asked in confusion.
Long Linger quickly pulled his sleeve.
This guy, why does he always ruin his mother's business
Fox Jiaojiao smiled and asked, "What if the orc you want to talk to is decades or a hundred years later? Or is a few days away from you? Can you still talk to him in person?"
"This... doesn't seem possible." Long Zhong was choked for a moment.
"The drawings for making weapons are also drawn on paper. The paper we are going to make now will be the basis for you to learn to make weapons in the future." Fox Jiaojiao explained patiently to the cubs.
"Can the paper we make also help the tribe?" One of the cubs' eyes lit up instantly.
It has to be said that orcs have a very strong sense of honor.
"Of course." Hu Jiaojiao nodded affirmatively.
As soon as these words were spoken, the cubs immediately became eager to try.
“We want to learn how to make paper!”
"Please teach us, we also want to contribute to the tribe!"
Fox Jiaojiao was very satisfied that she had successfully aroused the interest of the cubs.
Because of limited tools, Hu Jiaojiao divided them into five groups, with ten cubs in each group, to help train their ability to work together.
Papermaking is roughly divided into eight steps: chopping, soaking, pounding, washing, grooving, papermaking, paper drying, and paper peeling.
Fox Jiaojiao led the cubs to carry out the first two steps, chopping and soaking.
This is not a difficult task for the cubs.
They have all mastered partial transformation, and they can simply transform into claws and cut the wood into pieces with just a few clicks.
Watching the actions of the cubs, Hu Jiaojiao looked down at the few pieces of wood that she had scraped off with great difficulty in front of her, and fell into deep thought.
She swallowed awkwardly.
He calmly moved the wood away and pretended to walk casually to each group to inspect.
After just a short while, the cubs had become very skilled.
It only took half a morning for the cubs to cut all the wood piled in the yard. Fox Jiaojiao led them to put the cut wood pieces into a pool prepared in advance and soak them in gray water.
After doing all this, the cubs still felt unsatisfied.
They all lay beside the sink, staring at the wood fragments soaked in it.
"Mom, how long do we need to soak these woods?" Long Yu couldn't help but ask.
"It needs to be soaked for about seven to ten days before you can proceed to the next step." Hu Jiaojiao replied.
Hearing that they would have to wait so long, the cubs became a little anxious.
"So what do we do now? Do we have to wait forever..."
"Of course not. While the wood is soaking, you still have to learn how to read and write. Otherwise, even if the paper is made, you won't be able to use it."
After hearing what Hu Jiaojiao said, the cubs' attention immediately shifted to recognizing words.
"Can we learn to write now?"
The cubs asked expectantly.
Seeing the cubs so enthusiastic, Hu Jiaojiao took them to the classroom prepared in advance.
The classroom is very large, with fifty sets of tables and chairs, and it is still spacious.
Hu Jiaojiao first taught them numbers and pinyin, and then asked them to practice on the sand one by one.
Recognizing and practicing writing characters is boring.
Thanks to Fox Jiaojiao's preparation, the cubs were very interested and did not find it boring. They all wanted to learn to write as soon as possible and no one wanted to fall behind.
They don't want to be a cub who doesn't know how to use paper.
After a whole morning, the cubs had learned everything that Hu Jiaojiao had prepared and even mastered it.
Except that the handwriting is crooked, like a caterpillar.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh, "The orcs' learning ability is too strong."
Orcs are naturally active, so Hu Jiaojiao only allows the cubs to study for half a day and go back in the afternoon.
She negotiated with Xieman and decided that the cubs would go to school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, go to the rabbit pen on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to practice hunting skills with him, and let the cubs play on their own for the rest of the day.
The pups learn quickly.
But in just one or two months, I had mastered all the pinyin and could recognize simple Chinese characters.
The tools for practicing calligraphy also changed from sand to paper and charcoal.
There are already a few cubs who have written quite well.
Although Fox Jiaojiao was very tired, she was also very pleased. For the first time, she experienced the sense of accomplishment of teaching cubs.
She had wanted to open another class for adults.
But it wasn't long before they discovered that after studying in school, these cubs would return home and enthusiastically teach their parents what they had learned, and the orcs also began to circulate it among each other.
They already knew how to do it without Hu Jiaojiao teaching them.
This was beyond Hu Jiaojiao's expectations.
