Chapter 54: Brilliant Minds

【1】

On this Sunday, Zhang Wenhui, the second daughter of the Zhang branch secretary, suddenly said: "Ahhh This morning, I went to the village to gather grass outside the village with a basket, and I saw Grandma Zhang at the head of the village feeding the group of landlubbers on the side of the road, and suddenly a big and big weasel ran in front of me. She gestured with her hand, "The weasel quickly ducked into the grass, its sleek eyes watching the movements of each duck. I hurried over and threw the weasel with my basket, and the weasel fled. But I didn't expect that another puppy ran over, barking wildly and pounced on the ducks, which frightened Grandma Zhang. I immediately threw the basket at the puppy, who barked and turned and ran towards me. Her words were full of emotion, but they immediately frightened her family. She continued, "At this critical moment, as soon as I bent down and picked up a brick to throw at the puppy, the clever puppy fled in a hurry!"

The family members said in unison, "Eh, it's scared to death." ”

"What are you? You don't know your sister and me? I went to the field to weed that day, guess what?" Zhang Wenya asked with a mysterious expression. Everyone looked at her with curious eyes, expecting her to continue. I saw a snake more than a meter long and slippery, chasing a big frog! I saw this frog jumping left and right, and that snake crawling left and running after it! I saw that the frog finally found a hole, and it "jumped" and fled into the hole. The snake swooped in, bit the frog's hind legs, and caught it out of its hole. As soon as I saw it, I hurriedly took a dirt and threw it at the snake, and the snake threw away the frog and fled. Zhang Wenya shook her arms and wrists in a crooked manner, and she spoke vividly.

Zhang Wenjun also said vividly: "I went to the wasteland in the morning to gather grass, and I saw small crickets and praying mantises. So I put down the basket and grabbed it, and it jumped forward, and I grabbed one of them, and I grabbed one and put it in a bottle, and guess how much I caught?"

The eldest sister asked anxiously, "You caught five or six?" she shook her head.

The second sister asked, "About a dozen?"

Zhang Wenjun shook his head again, "I caught twenty-nine!"

Everyone's mouths opened in surprise: "Wow!

He praised his third daughter and said, "You are a good at destroying pests!" and he said, "It seems that you must continue to reclaim the wasteland, or the pests there will fly into the fields and harm the crops!"

Zhang Wenjun continued with a proud expression, "As soon as I saw that it was getting dark, I quickly clicked a basket of grass and hurried home. ”

The three of you say a word, I say a word, and there are many kinds of pests in one go. For example, they learned that aphids eat the leaves of crops, and ground tigers eat the roots of crops. I also know that earthworms can loosen the soil, spiders can weave webs to "house arrest" insects, and it can help us eliminate pests. I have also seen hares jumping and chasing voles and so on. I also learned that swallows fly low, ants move their nests to rain, and the sky is dusk and the wind is blowing.

They are all very intelligent, and they do not run away from problems when they encounter them, they do not panic, but think cleverly to solve all kinds of difficulties. This made the couple very happy. The couple praised the children for their wit and bravery.

Tonight, Zhang Guangming said to his daughters, "I suggest that we take advantage of this moment and come in order, and each of us will say a sentence with the four seasons, do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Wenya first said the sentence with spring: "Hundreds of birds sing together in spring, flowers are like brocade to show spring, hundreds of flowers are busy fighting for spring, and thousands of purples and thousands of reds are graceful about spring." ”

Zhang Wenhui hurriedly said, "The warbler song and swallow dance come to Wing Chun, the red flowers and green leaves are skillfully matched with spring, and the peach pink and apricot red are actually blooming in spring." Ducks and geese quack and sing the praises of spring. ”

Zhang Wenjun's index finger of his right hand dragged the little pink face, blinked his big eyes, and said with his intestines scraped: "Spring flowers come to call spring, peach blossoms come to spring with xiaxia, apricot blossoms bring fire to burn spring, and pear blossoms pull clouds to pull spring." Mom said, "It's better to change the pull word to hand in hand." Zhang Guangming said "um" "Wonderful!" Wen Jie's bright eyes like black diamonds flashed and looked at the three sisters suspiciously, she couldn't understand what they were saying.

Then the three sisters said words that said summer, autumn, and winter.

The mother happily praised her three daughters for being smart, not only loving nature, but also knowing so much knowledge! Xiao Wenjie showed envy.

Zhang Guangming solemnly said to the children: All three of you have said very well, children! Nature will tell us a lot of knowledge in the four seasons of the year, and as long as you are good at observing, you will gradually learn more knowledge! Dad hopes that you will continue to explore nature and uncover their mysteries one by one. You see, the cultivation of the seeds of the crops in the bare field will take many years for my father and me to learn. In the future, you should pay attention to the specific methods of predation and eating of animals.

One night, the three sisters wrote an essay on their observations of animals predating and eating, and showed them to their father. After the father looked at them one by one, he praised the children for being smart. He told the children, "Children, the famous Russian writer Pushkin said: "Books are our spiritual food." "Then we have to learn to draw nourishment from this good book! The children looked at their father with a serious look and nodded.

The father called the children to the shelves, opened a book, and began to tell famous quotes. You see it reads:

"Books are the source of knowledge, books are the ladder of human progress" - Gorky, and you are reading in this book that says: "The ideal book is the key to wisdom" - Leo Tolstoy. These words are all from the mouths of famous masters! Look how well they say them! Therefore, you should read more and memorize more, and there is a famous saying that does not say, "When a book is used, you hate less." Zhang Wenya thought to herself, her father tirelessly reads all kinds of books every day, no wonder her father is very knowledgeable!" Father he called his mother in again, "Wen Ya Niang, look, I bought you a few books, books on fashion design and production, you have to stick to your ideals, read more, study more ......"

"Hehe, I was about to tell you to buy me these books, so you bought them for me. You're really a roundworm in my stomach!" the wife said jokingly. "I must not forget my original intention, regain my dreams, and pursue my dreams from the moment!" Li Yue'e said to her daughters, "You see that there are many of China's four famous books on this shelf, as well as "Zizhi Tongjian", "Five Thousand Years of China", and "Chinese Poetry...... You have to read these good books carefully. Let your dad take the key and open the box under the bed, which contains many foreign masterpieces: "How Steel is Made", "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Les Misérables", ...... Zhang Guangming hurriedly went to the master bedroom to get a key to open the box and let the daughters see it. The eldest daughter looked at her father in surprise and asked, "Dad, why are you hiding these books?"

The father told the eldest daughter very mysteriously, you just have to watch, don't ask. The eldest daughter was even more puzzled, and her delicate eyes flashed incomprehensibly.

The whole family took a book in their hand, sat on the edge of their bed, and began to read their favorite book with hunger. The room was silent, no one spoke, only the sound of flipping books.

Zhang Guangming suddenly said to his wife: "It's done, I've been studying for so long, and I've finally figured it out now." Li Yue'e looked at her husband with a look of surprise. "Wen Yaniang, I'll go to the well digger tomorrow, do experiments in our house first, and then press out the well water with my hands? Then the people of our village don't have to go to the deep well to carry water!" Li Yue'e patted her knees when she heard it and said, okay!

Zhang Guangming set up a carriage and came to the well-drilling team, asking them to go to Muyehua Village immediately and dig a pressurized water well for my family. The first time the people in the well drilling team heard the word "pressurized well", they didn't seem to understand it very well. Zhang Guangming explained to them in detail that it is the principle of using air pressure and leverage. So, the two members of the drilling team brought white plastic pipes that had been circled many times, as well as steel pipes, iron frames, drill bits and other special tools. The two followed Zhang Guangming to his house in a carriage.

At this time, it was already noon, and Zhang Guangming's home was already full of people who looked at the rarity. The two well drillers began to dig a small pit with a shovel in accordance with the position designated by Zhang Guangming, and then set up a shelf, and then used a steel pipe with a sharp tip to twist it downward, twist and twist, twist and turn, and the well driller screwed into a section of steel pipe in the land, and then connected to a section, and drilled down one section after another, and worked in this way for more than an hour, and the small well was laid. The well driller took out the steel pipe more than 30 meters long one by one, and after all the pipe was taken out, he immediately put the plastic pipe into the borehole. At this time, Zhang Guangming couldn't wait to install the iron pipe and piston prepared in advance, and then pressed a thin iron wire with an iron handle on the upper skin cushion...... After the preparations were ready, Zhang Guangming picked up a long iron handle and asked his wife to pour water into it, and then he began to press the water, and there was a sound in the well: rattling, rattling, and after a while, the water pressed out the underground water through air pressure. I heard the onlookers shout rarely: "The water is out, the water is out!" "The water is clear, the water is clear!" the people scrambled to the outlet of the well and tasted it. "Well, it's sweet, it's delicious!"

Zhang Guangming immediately convened a meeting of the brigade and used the money earned by the brigade from the sideline business to first press the wells for the needy households.

Every household in the village has dug such wells one after another. Look, a group of people from other villages who discriminated against Muyehua Village came to Zhang Zhishu of Muyehua Village again to learn from it.

Regardless of his previous suspicions, Zhang Zhishu unreservedly told his experience to the group of people in the outer village. People in other villages exaggerate that the secretary is smart.
