Chapter 80: What is Happiness?

"Su Can, are your manuscripts ready?" Xiao Yuehua is probably most concerned about this issue, Su Can's speech, to a certain extent, also represents the appearance of this class, and it is the appearance of the whole school.

Su Can sighed slightly, "I didn't write a manuscript." ”

Xiao Yuehua's face darkened in an instant, and the thunderous energy on his face was on the verge of surging, "Are you not going to go up to give a speech?"

"It's not. I haven't written it, but I've already typed it. ”

"What's going on?" Xiao Yuehua probably met such an arrogant student for the first time, and he didn't even type the draft, so he had to write a draft to deal with a speech?

"It's not too long, so I won't write it, and besides, this speech, improvisation, can achieve the best effect. ”

Xiao Yuehua looked at Su Can with a uncertain expression, although this explanation could make him a little better, and it was also in line with Su Can's planned surname, but could he also say this to the principal?

"Then you go. Xiao Yuehua was in a very bad mood at this time, so he had to nod, one of the people who spoke at the same time as Su Can today was a debate elite, and the other was a young writer, and he was also counting on seeing how Su Can could write words that made people shake, but he didn't expect it to be like this, looking at the empty classroom after Su Can left, Xiao Yuehua turned back a little half-depressed.

Before the flag-raising ceremony, Chu Zimiao, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Provincial Department of Education, who came to Xiahai City to conduct research on the preparation for the summer college entrance examination, Luo Weiliang, deputy director of the Provincial Department and director of the Provincial Examination Center, and Guan Zhen, director of the Provincial Admissions Office, were also accompanied by more than 30 teachers and staff led by Ding Juntao, the principal of the city's No. 1 Middle School.

Chu Zimiao and Ding Juntao said something cordially, Ding Juntao and Chu Zimiao have a very close relationship, they are both protΓ©gΓ©s of Huo Dongsen, the master of Chinese studies, and they are in the same vein, which is also Ding Juntao's background in the province.

"Your work is worthy of recognition, as one of the two national key middle schools in the province, your ranking, although there is still a certain distance compared to Rongcheng No. 27 Middle School, but this distance, you don't need to have any burden. ”

"After all, Rongcheng No. 27 Middle School is uniquely endowed in terms of history and hardware and software, and we still have to vigorously expand the quality of students, develop quality education, and use the school spirit to drive the school spirit, and use the school spirit to promote the overall educational results. "Chu Zimiao is generally satisfied.

Principal Ding Juntao just smiled, "In today's speech at the flag-raising ceremony, these three students are models of quality education in our city's No. 1 middle school, one is the champion of the provincial middle school students' debate competition, one is a young writer who has been very popular in the media recently, and the other is the author of an excellent essay in the high school entrance examination, I don't know if Secretary Chu still remembers this student, Su Can." ”

If Ding Juntao remembers well, Chu Zimiao was one of the environmental protection factions of soil and water protection in China at that time, and he had written "Yangtze River Fu", "On the Bank of the Jialing River", "Standing on the Top of the Holy Peak" and many other anthologies, and the article mentioned some ideas on soil and water conservation prevention many times.

Chu Zimiao said "oh", "Then I really want to hear about the results of quality education in No. 1 Middle School." He lowered his hands, held his left wrist with his right hand at his waist and abdomen, and wore an autumn windbreaker to watch the flag-raising ceremony under the sound of gentle and passionate music on the rostrum.

Tian Feng, the director of teaching, came over from behind the teacher team and said something to Ding Juntao, Ding Juntao was stunned and sighed, "This student"

Seeing Chu Zimiao's puzzled gaze, Ding Juntao said, "I originally wanted to see the draft of Su Can's speech, but this little guy didn't write it, saying that it was an impromptu speech, this"

"Oh, that should be interesting. Chu Zimiao, who was not particularly interested in the invited speech at the flag-raising ceremony, still felt that it was a little interesting, this student who happened to come up with an article at the beginning, and now he plans to come up with something Meng Lang's work?

At the end of the student phalanx, there was already a crowd of people and discussions, Su Can's water purchase incident in classes 3, 5, and 7 made everyone in these classes know about him, who knew that he would come to touch the minefield of speech in the blink of an eye, of course, there are not a few people who are talking about it.

However, some of the girls on the fifth class's side who were originally sharp-tongued closed their mouths, and they didn't have the tricky and vicious warm-up before, but they all frowned and stood in Su Can's point of view.

The previous sarcastic speech of others was like a resentful woman hanging her throat, and I like to see some of Baby Anne's decadent study committee members in this era who are analyzing the girls in the fifth class, "This definition of happiness is easy to say, but it is difficult to say, many things are said to be rotten, plus different people have different definitions of happiness, if I am Su Can, it is easy to make a speech, but it is also difficult to resonate with people." ”

There are some girls in the fourth class who are next to the phalanx of the fifth class, chattering below, "It's really annoying, what kind of person is that Su Can, fighting with Wang Haoran, confronting the teacher, dragging it so much, and even asking him to speak on behalf of our first year of high school, is there any mistake, are the heads of those leaders of the school all betel nuts?"

"I said that your mouths are like flies in the toilet, and you won't stop when you are dirty?

"You!" is poisonous enough.

"Cut! Do you help your sworn friend Chen Lingshan like this? People don't like this Su Can at all, what are you doing blind there!" These girls also knew each other when they were in junior high school, and they suddenly didn't expect Li Lumei to be so ruthless to them, and what they said was so ruthless.

However, looking at the other people in the fifth class also looking at each other angrily, these girls finally felt that they were alone, so they didn't dare to say any more, and turned their heads to look at the flag-raising.

After all, the degree of support for Su Can by all the students in Class 5 is beyond the imagination of people like them in other classes.

When the five-star red flag fluttered high on the high flagpole and the "March of the Volunteers" came to an abrupt end, the first speaker also stood on the stage.

It is the winner of the championship of the provincial middle school student debate competition, and the opening is impassioned.

"In my opinion, happiness is pain, and to be happy! For example, our tireless teachers, such as the spirit of 'willing to turn the blood into rain and moisten the peach blossoms', when there is this spirit, An can say that they are not happy!? Yes, if you want to climb a higher mountain, you have to bear the loss of going down the mountain, the difficulty of climbing, and even the loneliness of not being understood. The same is true of how we grew up, full of heart-rending pain."

A group of students began to speak coldly below, "Why is it so oozing and sour, heart-rending pain, you should have a child!?"

"Because the source of joy and happiness in life comes from daily surprises and progress, from the enrichment of the heart, from the increase of knowledge, from the maturity of thought, from the fulfillment of life, from the spiritual enlightenment obtained from study, work and struggle"

Someone gave a thumbs up below, "Also spiritually revealed, this guy has been channeled with Jesus." ”

Finally, "Happiness is to enrich the soul in the midst of suffering! Happiness is to endure pain and create tirelessly! Happiness is to bear pain and rub pearls like a clam shell! Happiness is to be painful! and be happy! Finish your speech!"

Because of the supervision of the teachers in each class, the applause was quite warm, but everyone's expressions were like eating sour lemons.

Ding Juntao glanced at Chu Zimiao, who had a calm face and couldn't see any expression. If you want to come to such gorgeous words, it has long been an idle thing.

The second teenage writer took the stage and talked eloquently.

"Rita May Brown once said that remembering a bad surname is a treasure to become happy. But I think that all the students who are in high school and in their third year of high school nowadays probably don't want to have a bad surname. ”

His words caused a lot of laughter, although most of them were smiling and not smiling, and they responded with it, but it also relieved the atmosphere just now.

"So what is happiness, it is Valjean's true care for Fantine's daughter in "Les Miserables". It is Lin Daiyu's inner relief after the funeral of flowers in "Dream of Red Mansions", Xu Hu's heavy respite when he cleaned the sewers for residents, and Li Suli's sincere smile when selling tickets Pushkin said that the characteristic of happiness is peace of mind. This kind of peace of mind is a kind of spirit of life, a kind of pursuit, and a kind of awakening that ordinary people cannot understand and practice. ”

"Happiness lingers in the world, we look at it almost every day, but we can't catch it, it always comes suddenly, it leaves suddenly, it comes and goes without a trace. Sighs are always followed by happiness. Happiness always depends on the smooth side"

"The ancient sage Confucius once had a definition of happiness, the wise are happy with water, and the benevolent are happy with the mountain. The wise move, the benevolent is quiet. The wise are happy, and the benevolent are long. The 'movement' and 'happiness' of the wise man, and the 'quietness' and 'longevity' of the benevolent man are happiness! Thank you! ”

It was applause again, but the crowd slandered, this young writer is really a young writer, he must quote scriptures when he talks, and he is a master of Tai Chi.

It was Su Can's turn.

Immediately there was silence again.

Su Can stepped on the stage, stretched out his hand, clicked on the microphone, and there was a sound of "poof" and "poof", and there was some laughter in the front row, of course, some people recognized this guy as the person who kissed Tang Yu in public last time, and he was very hostile.

"The first two are very good. Su Can smiled dryly, and then he raised his head to the side, this gesture was frozen for a few seconds, and there was no grand statement at the beginning.

There was a low laugh below, and he continued, "Then you go down."

Xiao Yuehua's fists were clenched, looking at Su Can's posture, he shouldn't have encountered the legendary forgetting words!?

Ding Juntao glanced at Xiao Yuehua, this glance was sharp, Xiao Yuehua's vest was cold, you have to hit the belly draft, you write it down and memorize it to death!

"I don't have any ups and downs, I want to dedicate beautiful words and phrases to everyone, I just tell you a story. A boy from an orphanage pessimistically asked the director, "What is the point of living a child like me, whom no one wants?" The director smiled and did not answer, handed the boy a stone, and said, "Take this stone to the market and sell it, remember, no matter how much money someone else pays, you must not sell it."

The next day, the boy was crouching in the corner of the market, and to his surprise many people wanted to buy the stone from him, and the price was getting higher and higher.

Back in the courtyard, the boy excitedly reported to the dean, who asked him to take it to the treasure market and sell it. In the treasure market, someone paid ten times more than yesterday for the stone.

Finally, the dean told the boy to take the stone to the jewelry market to be displayed. As a result, the value of the stone increased tenfold, and because the boy refused to sell it, it was even rumored to be a "rare treasure".

When the boy returned to the orphanage, the director looked at the boy and said, "See, the value of life is like this stone, which will have different meanings in different circumstances." An inconspicuous stone that has increased its value because you cherish it is said to be a rare treasure. Aren't you just like this stone? As long as you value yourself and cherish yourself, your life will be meaningful and valuable.

Now all the students who are about to take the college entrance examination and all the students who are finally going to the college entrance examination, do not have to be arrogant, believe in themselves, as long as they cherish themselves, they can create a paradise. People who have realized their self-worth have not yet experienced happiness, so it is time to kick their ass. ”

Tired of the tirade, and suddenly heard Su Can's story, everyone was refreshed, "Interesting, interesting." ”

However, the gold medal debater and young writer who had just finished his speech saw this and was secretly unconvinced, "You only said that you experience happiness, but you don't explain how you think about happiness?"

Seeing that most of the people below were still confused and unconvinced, Su Can smiled, "Of course, someone will ask me, you told such a story, so how do you know happiness?"

Someone put on a posture of listening to their ears, but in their hearts, they thought that it should be some boring tirades.

"I'm hungry!" Su Can paused, "You have a meat bun in your hand." You're happier than I am!"

The whole scene was stunned, and then when I heard the last sentence, Su Can's joke just now was still relaxed, and suddenly turned into a loud posture, saying a shallow truth, but many tricky girls couldn't help but laugh "poof"!

"I'm in the North Pole, I'm not wearing clothes!" Su Can said again, "You are wearing a thick cotton jacket and smirking at me, you are happier than me!"

Now more people below couldn't help it, some covered their mouths with one hand, and covered their stomachs with the other, laughing and hurting, and kept rubbing.

"I want to go to the pit!" Su Can said again, "It's just a pit." If you squat there, you'll be happier than me!"

At this time, more people laughed "ahaha" and burst into tears, and the whole school turned on their backs, regardless of men and women, teachers and students, some simply knelt on the ground and laughed directly.

Ding Juntao couldn't help but tremble, he hadn't laughed like this for many years, "This kid"

Chu Zimiao, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Provincial Department of Education, also grinned, "It's good to be clever and clumsy, and to be wise and foolish." ”

The word "very good" is not something that a department-level cadre can give casually.

In this way, in the midst of the laughter of the whole school, Su Can looked at the rolling camphor and raised his head to meet the skylight.

The school year, just like that, is over.
