Chapter 80: Old Mr. Ba Jin's Closed Disciple
"Why do people need it? It is needed to sweep away the garbage from our hearts, it needs to give us hope, it brings courage, it needs to bring strength. Why do I need it? I want to use it to change my life, to change my environment, to change my jīng god world. Ba Jin sat at the desk with Lao Hua's glasses and looked at Govin opposite and patiently explained. He was holding a fountain pen in his withered right hand, and on the table in front of him were several sheets of manuscript paper, which, judging by the undried handwriting, showed that Barkin's was writing.
Govin shook his head, he really didn't know how to persuade this old man for Ba Jin to be so stubborn, he was not in good health and could not write for a long time, but his persuasion several times did not work at all.
"Okay, I'll give you another half xiao, and when you're half-xiao, you can't write anymore!" Govin emphasized the time again, and then depressedly picked up the book he had just flipped through from the table, walked back to the chair not far from the desk, and continued reading.
Behind him, Ba Jin smiled proudly at Govyn's back like a child who had received his beloved gift.
In the past, Govin and Ba Jin were in the editorial department of "Harvest", and each time it was very short, unlike now, when he had close contact with Ba Jin for a long time.
In the past few days, he has accompanied Ba Jin every day, so that Govin is now Ba Jin, even when his body is so weak, he still does not change his old habits, except for participating in various meetings and work, the rest of the time is spent on reading and writing. Gowen felt that he had worked very hard in his studies and writing after crossing over, but compared to Ba Jin, he still sighed to himself.
No, just now Ba Jin took advantage of his reading book to write an article.
So what is Ba Jin's daily life?
The old man who is over the age of Hua Jia does not need much sleep, so every morning when Govin comes to Ba Jin's house, the old man is already busy, reading, writing, thinking, reading letters, writing, newspapers, and sometimes doing exercises in the yard and watering Hua and grass.
If he doesn't go out, Na Ba Jin will stay at home most of the time to read and write, and after eating at noon, the old man will sleep for a while, and then continue to read and write in the afternoon. In my spare time, I would wander around the yard or the nearby streets, and sometimes I would chat with a few old friends.
When he goes out, in addition to participating in some work meetings and activities, most of the time he goes out will go to the editorial office of "Harvest", which is still the unit that the old man is responsible for.
This is the simple and pure life of Mr. Ba Jin.
Being able to learn and live with your idols is an absolutely precious experience. And Govin couldn't help but be contaminated by Ba Jin's unassuming character during the time he spent with Ba Jin, and the injustice, anger, anger and impetuousness brought to him by various things in the previous stage have all disappeared in the past few days, and his mood is calm and natural.
So although the outside world is still noisy, Govin doesn't care at all. Moreover, during this period of time, Ba Jin also taught by word and deed in daily life, and taught his understanding and perception of life to Govin little by little, which not only made Govern's creative ideas more proficient, but also his heart was much broader.
Govin still remembers the envy, jealousy and hatred after Lin Yiming heard from his mouth that he was going to Ba Jin's side to help for a while, at that time, Lin Yiming's expression was like the fox in the fairy tale who said that grapes were sour when he couldn't eat grapes, pinched Govyn's neck and screamed: "Ahh Why not me?! ”
Of course, Gewen can't forget Li Yu's joke when he was working in the editorial department of "Harvest": "Gewen, you are very powerful now, in the past, you are the disciple of Ba Lao!" Xiaozi, you must work hard, don't waste this opportunity......"
Every time he thought of this, Govin couldn't help but giggle out loud, close mén disciple!
Govyn came back to his senses, looked up at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, and then stood up and walked over to his desk. Sure enough, Ba Jin was still writing on his desk, his lowered white head and emaciated arms on the table made Govin feel distressed.
This time, I won't let you write anything down! Govyn made up his mind. Then he put the book in his hand on the table, and then said to Ba Jin with a hint of complaint: "Ba Lao, it's time, it's time for you to rest." ”
"Uh-huh, right away, right away." Ba Jin agreed, but the movement did not stop, and the tip of the pen in his right hand still moved on the manuscript paper.
Govyn rolled his eyes, this is the fourth time you've said that! He knocked lightly on the table, and then said helplessly: "Ba Lao, Editor-in-Chief Gao has instructed me many times, if you are disobedient, then he will not let you go to the editorial department in the future......"
Before Govern's words were finished, Ba Jin took the opportunity to draw a sentence on the manuscript paper, and then looked up at Govin and laughed: "Haha, I'm done!" ”
Govin swallowed all of a sudden, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
While sorting out the manuscript paper on the table, Ba Jin complained to Gowen: "I really don't know what I thought at the beginning, so many people in the editorial department didn't choose, but let you help, this is not allowed, and it is not allowed, I knew that the old man would not use you if I said anything......"
Govin couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his brain, and it started again! It is said that Ba Lao has such a scene several times a day, and every time he is like a Xiao child, he plays with his temper, and he really has a headache after a long time.
At that moment, Govin replied angrily: "Ba Lao, your body does not allow you to work for a long time. Anyone else would do that, and I'm low enough compared to everyone else. ”
Ba Jin didn't complain when he heard this, he was a little angry, and he didn't bother with Gowen, and as soon as he put the manuscript in the upper right corner of the table, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
This old Xiao kid! When Govin saw that Govin had relied on himself, he couldn't help but be angry and funny.
After a long time, Ba Jin opened his eyes, shook his neck a few times, and then looked at Gowen, only to see that Gowen saw that he ignored him, and actually stood by the table with a book and read. The corners of Barkin's mouth couldn't help flashing a smile, and he took a closer look at the book cover, which was the English version of Shakespeare's stories written by the British essayist Charles Lamb, a collection of books on his shelf, but he didn't expect it to be turned out by Gowen.
"Don't just read Lamb, it's better to read Shakespeare's story in the original language."
"Uh-huh?" Govin unconsciously agreed, and then came to his senses, closing the book and looking at Barkin.
"You know that no matter what kind of book it is, as long as it is paraphrased or translated by other people, it will be different from the original book. So if you want to read Shakespeare's story, it's best to read the original version, not another writer's paraphrase. ”
Hearing Barkin's guidance, Govin nodded, and then said with some embarrassment: "But the reason why I read Lamb's book is to practice my English level. You know, Shakespeare's original books are all in Old English, and that's very different from what it is now. ”
"Uh......" Barking wanted to remind Gowen, but Gowen didn't mean to be a Shakespearean story, but to modern English. Nong a big oolong, Ba Jin's expression was stunned, and then looked at Govine's somewhat flushed face, and couldn't help laughing at himself.
