Chapter 3275 Who is Illiterate?
The group of best friends learned Braille together, and they got right to it.
Dudu became a little teacher. She first taught everyone the basic Braille dots: six dots, and different combinations represent different spellings.
"This is the 'Xiao' in 'Xiaobai'..."
Dudu skillfully used a Braille pen to mark the dots on the Braille board, making a soft "tap, tap" sound.
Xiaobai studied very hard, and she tried to imitate the paper on another board, but she couldn't control the pressure well. Either she touched the paper too lightly and couldn't feel it, or she poked the paper.
"It's so difficult," she exclaimed. "Xiao Zhou and the others have to touch so many dots to read every day. They're really amazing."
Robin faced an even bigger challenge. Her small hands couldn't control the slender Braille pen well, and the dots she made were crooked and uneven, making her anxious and frustrated.
"Why won't this dot listen to me! I'll poke it, I'll poke it!! I'll poke it, poke it, poke it!!" She was furious, stabbing the board like she was dealing with an enemy.
Liu Liu mocked, "Well done, Robin! You're such a good-natured underachiever. If you keep this up, you'll catch up to your aunt sooner or later! Hahaha~~"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Robin's face instantly hardened, and he glared at Liuliu with an unfriendly expression: "What did you say?!"
She continued to poke around with the thin Braille pen in her hand.
Xiao Bai said, "Tell Liu Liu, who are you?"
Robin said fiercely, "I'm a heartless killer! Liuliu, you'll regret messing with me, and it won't be too late for you to regret it!"
Just as Liuliu was about to intensify her taunts, Robin suddenly produced a gleaming golden carrot knife as if by magic. She immediately fell silent, deciding to focus on her studies.
She prefers studying to playing with Robin and entertaining children; studying brings her lasting happiness.
But to be honest, Braille is really hard to learn. Liuliu was resistant at first, thinking it was too troublesome. She tried to learn a few words, but her fear of difficulty only intensified.
But she saw that her friends were all studying very seriously, and Dudu was teaching very seriously too!
Moreover, everyone seemed to pay special attention to her, staring at her from time to time, and Dudu would always keep her eyes on her when she was teaching.
Xiaomi said earnestly, "Liuliu, we all need to study hard. Don't you want to write letters to Xiaozhou's classmates? If you write them Braille letters next time, they can read them themselves and understand every word you write. They will definitely feel your care. Just think how happy they will be. They will know that you care about them."
Upon hearing this, Liuliu wholeheartedly agreed: "Xiaomi, you're right. Everyone would be very happy if they could receive the Braille letters I write."
Xiaomi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes!! Liuliu, you're right, we're all the same. If we write Braille in our next reply, they'll definitely be even happier."
Xiaobai also said, "Learn some Braille, so that in everyone's eyes, Liuliu, you won't be considered illiterate."
Liuliu was shocked: "What?! I'm illiterate?! You're the illiterate one!!"
Xiao Bai wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "In Xiao Xu's eyes, what's the difference between us, who don't know Braille or sign language, and illiterate people?"
Xi'er said, "So we must study hard. I want to learn Braille and sign language."
Thinking of Xiao Xu and the others, Liu Liu muttered, "I can't let everyone think I'm illiterate," and picked up a board as well. She was strong, and poked a deep hole in it with each stroke, almost piercing through the board, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Dudu quickly grasped her hand: "Liuliu, be gentle, use a light touch, feel the pressure on your fingertips..."
Robin deliberately ran up to Liuliu and stood in front of her, hands on his hips, laughing loudly. He looked so annoying.
Liu Liu waved her hand, as if shooing away flies: "Go away, don't disturb my studies. Someone who works so hard shouldn't be ridiculed!"
Robin laughed and said, "Liuliu, look, this is the Braille I wrote. Chengcheng said it's very well written, all correct."
Liu Liu was shocked. She took the board from Robin and touched it. It was covered in dots and scratches. She couldn't see what was good about it. It seemed no different from her own. The only difference was that hers was much more intricately textured.
"Impossible! How could you possibly have written it correctly?" Liuliu said in disbelief.
Robin said seriously, "Chengcheng said I got everything right, and I did get everything right. My aunt said I'm quick-witted, very smart, and better at learning everything than you!"
Liu Liu looked at everyone, pointed at Robin and said, "Look at this kid, he's just like that proud rooster in Dunzi's house, all he does is show off and have a bunch of girlfriends, but he can't do anything. Go away, don't make me lose my temper, or you'll regret it!"
Robin tried to harass Liuliu again, but was called away by her aunt.
Robin snorted at Liu Liu and walked away with an air of indifference, making Liu Liu grit her teeth in frustration.
The atmosphere became much more relaxed when learning sign language.
Dudu teaches everyone how to say "friend": hook your index fingers together; "happy": swing your hands up and down in front of your chest with your palms facing up and a smile on your face; "thank you": make a fist with one hand, bend your thumb, and nod to express your thanks.
Everyone thought it was very fun and novel. It was much more interesting than Braille, which is just dots and dots. Different combinations of dots and dots form different words, which can be quite boring.
Sign language is more varied and like playing a game, which makes people more enthusiastic about learning it.
Among them, Xi'er learned the fastest. She seemed to have a natural talent for expressing emotions through her body, and her movements were graceful and precise.
She also improvised, using hand gestures to represent "Xiaoya" as "small" + "elegant bird," which, although not standard, was full of childlike fun and heartfelt sentiment.
Liu Liu treated sign language like a "pantomime performance." When she gestured "elephant," she stretched out her arm as a trunk and added an onomatopoeic "roar." Although it wasn't standard, it was vivid and lifelike. She learned quickly and finally turned the tables, redeeming her poor image in learning Braille.
Xiaobai got excited and said to Liuliu, "Liuliu, let's communicate using sign language."
Liuliu readily agreed, believing that she was learning sign language much faster than Xiaobai.
The two men gestured rapidly with their hands, earning the admiration of the onlookers.
Robin exclaimed, "My aunt is amazing! She knows so many sign languages! I need to work harder too!"
Xiaomi also sincerely praised, "Xiaobai and Liuliu are both very good. They can communicate so much after learning for only a short time. It's really amazing. They will be able to learn it in a few days."
Xi'er nodded, but she was a little confused: "I can understand the first few signs, but I can't understand the rest, hiahia~~ Xiaobai, what are you guys saying?"
While Xiaobai and Liuliu were having a heated exchange, no one answered Xier's question.
At this moment, Dudu, who had been paying close attention the whole time, spoke up: "No! This is not right! Xiaobai, Liuliu, your sign language is wrong, these gestures don't mean anything, you've got it wrong."
However, Xiaobai and Liuliu seemed not to hear them and continued to communicate intensely through gestures, looking as if they were arguing. Their hand movements became faster and more intense.
Chengcheng suddenly chuckled softly, "They're just gesturing randomly."
Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder, otherwise it would be hard to explain how Xiaobai and Liuliu could be so proficient in sign language after only learning for a short time.
After Chengcheng exposed their mistake, Xiaobai and Liuliu stopped and burst into laughter: "We were just playing around, but we'll definitely be able to communicate in sign language in a few days!"
Neither of them felt awkward at all.
Over the next few days, the Little Red Horse Academy's reading room was converted into a classroom.
Robin continues to learn and practice writing characters every day without fail, and the sentences he writes have gradually changed from "Hello Xiaoya" to "The sun is shining brightly today, and I want to share it with you."
Besides learning on his own, Xiaobai also became Robin's "little Chinese teacher," looking up words in the dictionary with Robin and discussing how to turn their feelings into words.
The most surprising change was in Liuliu. She could actually sit quietly for a while, frowning, and with her usually playful hands, carefully and repeatedly practice the Braille combinations such as "Liuliu," "Xiaozhi," "Elephant," and "Zoo" on the Braille board.
Although the results are still limited, and the Braille they produced looks like a bunch of gibberish, their focus is unprecedented.
Finally, one day, she successfully wrote the word "friends" on her board. Excitedly, she ran around the room with the board, announcing to all the children in the Little Red Horse group, "Look!! I did it! Touch it! Isn't it 'friends'?! I did it!! As long as you put in the effort, nothing is impossible! I'm the role model! You should all learn from me!!"
Before learning from her, one must first verify whether the Braille she creates is correct and accurate.
Xiao Bai stopped her and told her not to shout: "Let us see if what you wrote is correct first. Don't be arrogant and complacent."
Xiao Bai called Dudu over to check.
Dudu touched it, nodded, then shook her head and said, "The spot is right, but... Liuliu, you used too much force, you almost pierced through the board!"
"Hey, as long as the idea is there, that's fine!" Liu Liu said nonchalantly, carefully putting away the uneven board like a precious treasure. "Once I've mastered it, I'll 'write' a Braille letter for Xiao Xu! I'll give him a real scare!"
Chengcheng quietly used her keen observation skills to help everyone improve the game plan. She suggested that in the "scent journey," in addition to common flowers and fruits, different leaves, fabrics, and even clean soil could be added to make the scents more layered and story-like.
Xiaomi is responsible for recording and organizing what everyone has learned, and plans to make it into a learning journal to help everyone achieve more with less effort.
