7. A one-day trial
At half past six the next morning, the bedside alarm rang on time.
Jiang Shuiyuan only hesitated in bed for three seconds, then resolutely refused to sleep back to the **, and chose to get dressed and get up. At this time, my mother Chen Fangyi had just gotten up, and was washing up and preparing to make breakfast, when she saw Jiang Shuiyuan rushing out in a hurry, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Son, what are you doing getting up so early? Isn't your high school entrance examination over yesterday?"
"I know! I just went to bed too early last night, and now I can't sleep a little, and I want to go out for a walk!" Jiang Shuiyuan had already opened the door and rushed out.
"This kid is so careless about everything! When will he grow up?" Chen Fangyi shook her head, then turned on the gas stove and began to cook.
The family home of Shanyang Junior High School is located in Baimaofang, only two stops away from the famous scenic spot of Huai'an Prefecture. For outsiders, Bochi Mountain may be unheard, not as famous as the former residence of Sun Yuanqi, the father of the country, and the Caoyun Governor's Mansion in China, nor as the great prestige of Shanyang Junior High School and Huai'an Mansion in the education world. However, this does not affect the important position of Bochi Mountain in cultural history and in the minds of the people of Huai'an Province.
According to the historical records, Bochi Mountain is one of the seventy-two blessed places of Taoism, and it is the place where the immortal king Qiao Liandan attained the Tao, and it has been famous since the Tang Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a famous mountain of Taoism. But it was Buddhism that really made Mt. Bochi famous all over the world. In the first year of Qiande in the Northern Song Dynasty (963), the high monk Yuhai began to dig the corners of Taoist walls and build temples in Bochi Mountain to recruit disciples. At the time of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the incense was already in full bloom. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, Jinghui Temple is large in scale, the palace pavilion is magnificent, the statue is solemn, the high monks gather, it has 10,000 rooms, covers the whole mountain of the bowl pond, and ranks the first of the famous temple in Huaidong at that time. Even though the incense has declined rapidly since the late Qing Dynasty, it is still the first choice for good men and women in Huai'an Mansion to worship the Buddha.
In Bochi Mountain, in addition to the legendary relics of Wang Qiao's alchemy pill, the Taoist has only a courtyard-sized Qianyuan Taoist courtyard, cramped in a remote corner, which is not the same as the prosperity and noise of Buddhist temples. This is also in line with the sentence: There are many famous mountain monks in the world! This word "occupy" is used very well, not only with the meaning of "occupying the mountain as the king", but also with the implication of "occupying the magpie's nest and dove".
The destination of the morning exercise of the river source is the Bochi Mountain.
The midsummer morning sun is golden and bright without dazzling, and the river water source welcomes the cool morning breeze, skillfully avoiding the same early risers, and lightly walks through the mottled light and shadow woven by the branches and leaves of the locust trees. With fair skin, black hair, and a vigorous posture, his youth and vitality bloomed at this moment, attracting many passers-by to look back a few more times.
In just over ten minutes, the water source of the river easily ran to the Bochishan Park.
In addition to following grandma and grandpa to Jinghui Temple to burn incense during the New Year's holidays, Jiang Shuiyuan rarely went to the park so early, but he didn't expect the park to be so lively in the morning, there were boxers, swordsmen, aerobics, square dances, and even those who sang Huai Opera loudly as if no one was around. Jiang Shuiyuan had no choice but to hold the attitude of being at ease with the lotus pond in the park, and by the way he did some movements to stretch his arms and expand his chest.
When he walked to the edge of a bamboo forest deep in the park, he found an old man wearing a loose Tai Chi suit practicing boxing. Jiang Shuiyuan had also seen the old man and old lady in the courtyard practice Tai Chi before, and he was deeply impressed by the soft, slow, mellow and light boxing technique. This old man seems to be practicing Taijiquan, but there are slow and fast, fast and slow, soft and rigid, rigid and soft. The whole set of fists is connected in one go, and the impression given to Jiang Shuiyuan is two words:
Pleasing to the eye!
What made Jiang Shuiyuan even more interesting was that although the old man had snow-white hair, he had a ruddy complexion, light hands and feet, and full of spirit, and he seemed to be a master of health preservation. I just don't know if it's because of the efficacy of this set of Tai Chi, or if there is another secret. If it weren't for the first time they met, Jiang Shuiyuan would want to go up and talk to him and learn the method of longevity.
The old man naturally didn't know Jiang Shuiyuan's thoughts, and after punching, he glanced at Jiang Shuiyuan who was watching, and then left on his own.
Jiang Shuiyuan looked at his watch, it was almost half past seven at this time, and he had already finished breakfast and went to school at this time. According to the Internet, skipping breakfast is very dangerous to the body, and eating breakfast irregularly is more dangerous than skipping breakfast. At that moment, he quickly packed up his love and trotted all the way back home. I don't know if my mother is in a good mood today, or because the high school entrance examination has just ended, it is not appropriate to use her tongue, and she didn't say much about Jiang Shuiyuan not coming back until now. When he was about to finish eating, his father Jiang Youzhi suddenly asked, "Son, what are your plans for the summer vacation?"
Before Jiang Shuiyuan could answer, his mother frowned first: "Shuiyuan just finished the high school entrance examination, can't you let him have fun for a few days?" After a pause, he continued: "In my opinion, Lao Jiang, you are purely an afterthought! Before the high school entrance examination, other people's families were playing with their lives to make up for their children's classes and open a small stove, you are good, not only did you ignore it, but also took your son back to Linjiang's hometown for a spin. Now that the high school entrance examination is over, and other people's children have started herding sheep, you want to make up for your son's lessons! Aren't you an afterthought? If you don't do well in the water source high school entrance examination, see how I clean up the two of you!"
Jiang Youzhi smiled awkwardly and continued to bury his head in eating.
Jiang Shuiyuan always remembered the advice of Shuibei Niangniang, knowing that reading and learning to a certain level can prolong life, and hurriedly replied at this time: "I plan to do this during the summer vacation, exercise properly every morning and evening, according to the Internet, the kinetic energy of adolescence can increase height by 4 to 10 cm!
I didn't expect Jiang Shuiyuan to be so active, which made my mother Chen Fangyi suspicious: "Hmm, son, to be honest, did you fail the high school entrance examination?"
Jiang Shuiyuan was a little dissatisfied and said: "Mom, where do you want to go? You can put one hundred and twenty hearts, my results in this high school entrance examination will definitely satisfy you!"
My mother still didn't believe it: "Really, I'm a pickle boiled tofu -- if you really get the test to my satisfaction, not to mention PAPINO, Hui Si my clothes, even mobile phones, laptops, my mother will promise you." But if you don't do well in the exam, don't blame me for cleaning up your little rabbit cub when the time comes! What do you look at Lao Jiang? If Shuiyuan can be admitted to Huai'an Fuzhong, your monthly pocket money will be increased by half; if you can't pass the exam, then it will be reduced by half!"
Jiang Youzhi looked at Jiang Shuiyuan pitifully: "Son, it's up to you what kind of cigarettes and drinks Dad will smoke and drink in the future!"
Jiang Shuiyuan patted his chest and said with a grin: "Dad, don't worry, the problem of tobacco and alcohol is on me!"
"I'm relieved to have a son!" Jiang Youzhi was relieved, and then continued, "If you have the confidence to be admitted to Huai'an Mansion, then you must prepare accordingly in advance now." Why? This is because every class of freshmen in Huai'an Fuzhong will take a placement test after military training, and in accordance with the principle of survival of the fittest, it will be held once at the beginning of the second and third years of high school, and each examination will determine the learning environment of the students in the coming year, and the students must not pay attention to it! Those who can be admitted to Huai'an Fuzhong are all students with top-notch grades in various schools, and in addition, Huai'an Fuzhong often selects students to participate in the provincial and even national academic Olympiads, and the competition among students will also be very fierce.
"In addition, Huai'an Fuzhong School is also known for its heavy workload, which is also a factor that motivates students to work hard. They all say, 'Stupid birds fly first,' and even stupid birds know that they fly first, let alone smarter people? I'm afraid that when we talk now, many students are already preparing for the placement test in three months! Do you think you can have a summer vacation as you like?"
Speaking of studying, Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly had high morale: "Since this is the case, then please ask my father to help me borrow a set of textbooks in Huai'an Mansion." Hmph, although the young talents of Huai'an Mansion let their horses come, the east wind blows, and the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom in this world! I want to see whether the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind!"
Jiang Youzhi nodded with satisfaction: "I have already found the textbooks, just put them in the study, and I will give them to you after eating later!"
"Uh......" Jiang Shuiyuan was suddenly a little speechless: it seems that after all calculations, he still can't escape from his father's palm. However, with the blessing of the bracelet, memory and comprehension have been greatly improved, and learning is not a chore, not to mention that according to Shuibei Niangniang, learning can also help to prolong life?
Before going to bed at night, Jiang Shuiyuan pressed the button on the bracelet again with trepidation, and stared at the watch screen like a prisoner waiting for the verdict. It was still five minutes before the final result was displayed, and I don't know if the measuring instrument could only measure it in units of ten days, or for some other reason, it still showed "3410 days of life expectancy". The only difference is that a prompt appears below:
In order to save energy and ensure the accuracy of measurement and control, the interval between each test should not be less than 30 days!"
However, this result has already made Jiang Shuiyuan very excited: because after a day of exercise, study and experiment, at least the life expectancy has not decreased, which is undoubtedly good news! At the same time, it is also a great encouragement for Jiang Shuiyuan to continue to insist on exercising and studying!
