Chapter 109 Chapter 109: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
It seems that grandpa's chatterbox can be spoken for a long time as soon as it is opened.
Got into bed, Xiao Zhen tried to organize these things, but it seems that due to the lack of basic knowledge, he can't really put these together into a complete section.
So, I went straight to sleep, and the next day I started to review again.
However, because the papers of Tianxiu Middle School, Huaxiong Middle School and Interstellar Middle School were not too difficult before, Xiao Zhen didn't seem to be very attentive.
The notes were obviously scribbled, the math was no longer carefully written, and the English was not taken seriously.
And these, naturally, were not discovered by Lao Wu, the real mother, grandfather and grandmother.
After all, sitting at a desk becomes a testament to effort, and it becomes a cover-up.
Bored to pick up the dusty "A Thousand and One Nights", Xiao Zhen was attracted by the article "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves".
Cassim Alibaba's elder brother, who married the wife of a wealthy family, has been laughing at poor Alibaba, and is eventually killed by the bandit leader for his excessive greed.
The hard-working and brave Alibaba has embarked on the road of counterattack step by step.
So, for the next period of time, Xiao Zhen went home and knocked on the door and shouted at the same time, "Open the sesame door." ”
However, Xiao Zhen also felt incomprehensible about some of the plots in the book.
For example, in the beginning, Alibaba was described as so poor, so how could there be a maid?
Like, how did that clever maid, Morgiane, open those oil cans without being discovered by those inside?
After all, the oil tank was opened twice during the whole process, and the second time the oil was poured down, how could the people inside not make painful sounds?
What's more, the guest was immediately discovered by Mogina that he didn't eat salt, and there was a problem, which also made Xiao Zhen feel very incomprehensible.
So, he took the book and asked his grandmother: "Do you know "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves"?"
"I can't remember this clearly, but it's still clear. Grandma thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I don't think there's anything right with the scene where the maid pours oil on the robber. It's so hot that it will definitely alarm those who are hiding inside. Xiao Zhen said.
"Oh, that's it, this story is actually mainly about asking everyone to be as industrious and simple as Alibaba. Or be brave and capable like a maid. You really can't scrutinize all of these things in the middle. Grandma said with a smile.
"What does it mean that this guest doesn't eat salt, and why is this guest suspected of not eating salt?" asked Xiao Zhenzhen again.
Grandma said, "This ...... Well, this one. ”
"It's very simple, salt represents purity and respect in that place. Therefore, not eating salt naturally indicates that there is a problem. Grandpa said.
"Don't try to find details in such a story, just know the two good role models in the story - Ali Baba and Mogina. If you want to be more careful, then analyze the two bad characters - Qasim and the bandit leader. Grandpa told me.
"Okay, then how can Ali baba be so poor and have a maid like Mogina, and it's not polite for a maid to rummage through this guest's jar, right?" asked Xiao Zhen again.
After flipping through the story, Grandpa laughed and said, "Haha, this poverty is relative, the background of the story is the Persian period, although the emperor of the Persian Empire, one of the greatest monarchs of Central Asia, Cyrus, nominally abolished slavery, but at that time it was still a slave society. Therefore, according to the text, Ali Baba, who has only a small number of slaves, is of course abject poor compared to other large slave owners. ”
"Oh, I don't quite understand, but what about Mogina's behavior?" asked Xiao Zhen again.
"This act is a sign of Mogina's loyalty. Although it is rude to rummage through the guest's things, it is obvious that the guest is likely to endanger the host, so naturally finding a way to protect the host is the best strategy for the loyal and witty Mogina. Grandpa thought about it and said.
"Grandpa, how do you know so much, you didn't notice it before. Xiao Zhen asked.
"Haha, it's all very simple, read more books when you have time. After all, 'read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles.' Grandpa touched his beard and said.
So, Xiao Zhen gnawed "One Thousand and One Nights" for a day, and didn't finish his homework until Sunday night.
After coming to school the next day, many students were discussing the exam situation of Interstellar Middle School, but Xiao Zhen was not interested at all, and continued to pick up "One Thousand and One Nights" after class, as if the various Central Asian folk tales in the book were much more important than this exam.
Xiaoshi asked: "Why is everyone discussing grades, but you are looking at this book." ”
Xiao Zhen: "What's there to discuss, it doesn't mean much to get a high exam, after all, I didn't want to study in Interstellar Middle School." ”
Xiaoshi said: "That's right, but you can probably know the ranking, so you can have a preliminary positioning for your ability?"
Xiao Zhen said: "This positioning is like a buoy, sometimes it gets up, sometimes it falls down." Not so accurate. And I can't get the test paper. ”
Xiao Shi said: "You can have this mentality." ”
Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "It's over, okay, I'll continue to read." ”
However, after the third class, Xiao Zhen borrowed a classmate's mobile phone to check the results.
After all, if you go home at noon and find out that you didn't do well in the exam with your mother and you are not mentally prepared, wouldn't you be out of the basket?
After confirming that the overall performance of the results was not bad, and after only one point was deducted in the end of mathematics, Xiao Zhen was relieved.
When I got home at noon, the real mother and Xiao Zhen checked the results together.
Turning on the speakerphone and listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, the real mother, grandfather, and grandmother are very happy.
However, due to the fact that these exams were so smooth, the next few days of Xiao Real Study were obviously not as serious as before.
It seems that Xiao Zhen has decided that the difficulty of this exam is the level of several papers from these schools before.
On the other hand, the so-called elimination mechanism of the Genting cram school has not been implemented, so the efficiency of Xiaozhen's lectures has also decreased somewhat.
However, on the surface, the study continued, the homework was completed on time, and everything seemed to be going on track.
As a result, in this week's Genting Weekly Exam, it is extremely difficult for Xiao Zhen to face these questions that are gradually increasing in difficulty.
Because I couldn't really grasp the learning content of the previous four days, this week's weekly exam was very difficult.
Teacher Peng looked at Xiao Zhen's face full of beads of sweat, so he walked over and asked, "Are you okay? ”
Xiao Zhen undoubtedly ran into a savior when he heard this, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher Peng, I'm a little uncomfortable today." ”
So, after packing up his things, Xiao Zhen went home early.
Lao Wu accidentally picked up the long-lost computer learning machine on the weekend, so he and Xiao Zhen once again looked for excitement in tank battles and Contra.
So, such a weekend was spent in laughter.
As soon as he arrived at school on Monday, Mr. Peng said with a serious expression: "Okay, today is the day of registration for Tenglong Middle School, please fill in the registration form carefully and hand it in." ”
Looking at the complicated registration form, Xiao Zhen seemed a little speechless.
"Why do you have to write my favorite book when you sign up for this school? Isn't it inexplicable?" Xiaojie said.
"That's pretty normal, right, what color do you like about this?" Xiao Zhen pointed to the next question.
"I want to write about my favorite movie. It's really weird school. Xiao Hao said.
So, back in his seat, Xiao Zhen began to struggle with what books to fill in, after all, books such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are really not easy to choose.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhen saw that Xiao Shi wrote the word "language" in this column, so Xiao Zhen asked: "Do you like language books?"
"yes, what's the problem? He didn't ask for an extracurricular book. Xiaoshi said with a smile.
"Well, that's a good idea, then I'll write a math book. Xiao Zhen said with a smile.
So, the matter came out immediately, almost half of the students in the class filled in Chinese and mathematics, and a few more confident English filled in English in order to reflect their personality.
