222. The coalition forces rendezvous in Taiyuan City
As I have already explained: If I had always relied on that craft to eat, I am afraid that I would have starved to death. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ However, although this ability cannot be used forever, three years of learning art is not without great benefits, and this benefit will teach me to enjoy it for a lifetime. I can leave the guy behind and do something else; This little bit of good is always with me. Even after I die, when someone talks about how I am a person, they have to remember that I was a teenager who studied for three years.
An apprentice means half a trade, half a rule. When I first went to the shop, no matter who I was, I had to be afraid, and the rules in the shop were grievances. When the apprentice has to go to bed late and get up early, he has to listen to all the commands and dispatches, he has to serve people in a low manner, he has to suffer the hunger, cold and toil happily, and there are tears to swallow in his stomach. Like the place where I studied art, the shop is also the home of the shopkeeper; If you have received the master, you have to accept the master's mother, and the splint is childish! can survive such three years, the top stubborn people have to be soft, and the top soft people have to be hard; I can simply say that an apprentice's temperament is not brought by birth, but is beaten out by the board; Like striking iron, whatever you want becomes something.
At that time, when I was being beaten and angry, I really wanted to seek death, that kind of anger is simply not something that people can bear! However, now that I think about it, this kind of discipline and training is really worth the gold. After this kind of rehearsal, there is nothing in the world that cannot be tolerated. Let's just mention it, let's say I want to be a soldier, wow, I can be a good soldier, and the army drills sometimes have a while, and the apprentices don't have any rest time except sleeping. I grabbed the time to go out and squatted to take a nap, because when I was in a hurry, I could only sleep at three or four o'clock a day and a night. I can swallow a meal in one bite, and as soon as I pick up the rice bowl, either the master shouts, or the master calls, or there is a master to take care of the living, I have to be respectfully entertained, and listen carefully to how the master bargains. What if you don't swallow the rice whole? This kind of rehearsal taught me to be able to stand up in any hardship, and I was still quite kind on the outside. A man who reads, as far as a coarse man like me, will never understand this. Now there is a sports meeting in the foreign school, and the students run two laps as if they have made great contributions, drink! Holding again, hugging again, slapping fire wine on the thighs, losing temper, and riding in a car! How can such a boy know what rules are called, and what is rehearsal? In the end, what I have suffered has laid the foundation for me to work hard and resentfully, I will never be idle, I will never know how to lose my temper and play awkwardly when I work, I can suffer like the soldiers, and the soldiers cannot be as kind as me.
Let's take a fact to prove this: after I learned to become a teacher, I was the same as other craftsmen, in order to show that I was a person who made money by ability, I first bought a cigarette pouch, as long as I was idle, I twisted a bag of bars, as if I had a very good status, slowly, I learned to drink again, and often made two cups of cat urine and smacked a few sips. I'm afraid that hobbies will start.,It's not difficult to learn the second thing if you know the same.,It's all a plaything anyway.γ That's the end of the problem. I love cigarettes and alcohol, which is not unusual, and the big guys are pretty much like that. However, I learned to eat big cigarettes over and over again. In those days, opium cigarettes were not selfish and very cheap; I started smoking, and then I got hooked. Soon, I felt that my hands were tight, and I was not as energetic as before. I didn't wait for anyone to advise me, not only did I quit smoking, but I also pouted the dry tobacco pouch, and I didn't smoke or drink anymore! I entered the "Rational Gate". Entering the door, tobacco and alcohol are not allowed to move; Once the vows are broken, they will be unlucky. So I not only quit my hobbies, but also entered the discipline of science; Bad luck is waiting for me there, so how can I break the vows again? This bit of open-mindedness and toughness, now that I think about it, was obtained by an apprentice. I can endure as much suffering as I can. How sad it is to quit smoking and drinking on the first day of junior high school, watching others smoke and drink! It's really like there are a thousand little insects crawling in my heart, so it's so itchy and sad to touch. But I can't break the vows, I'm afraid of bad luck. In fact, whether you are unlucky or not is a matter of the future, and the sins in front of you are not pleasant! Stiff, only stiff can succeed, fear of bad luck is secondary. I survived because I had been apprenticed and rehearsed!
When it comes to my craft, I also think that the three years of apprenticeship have not been in vain. All crafts must be improved at any time, the method is dead, and the application is alive. Thirty years ago, the bricklayer paid attention to grinding bricks and joints and doing fine work; Now, he'd have to use ash and bezel artificial stone or something. Thirty years ago, carpenters were particular about carving and carving wood, but now they have to be able to make Western-style wood. It's the same in our business, but it's more active than in other industries. In our profession, we can make a fool of what we see. For example, if someone has a funeral and teaches us to make a full table, we can make chicken, duck and fish. Catch up with the girl who has died and have not left the cabinet, and teach us to paste a full dowry, whether it is forty-eight or thirty-two, we can paste from the powder jar oil bottle to the wardrobe and wear the mirror. As soon as the eye looks at it, the hand can imitate it, which is our ability. We don't have much ability, but we have to be a little smart, and a person with a hole in his heart will never become a good pastemaker.
In this way, we work, and we play as we work, as if we were. Our success or failure depends on how to move the various colors of paper appropriately, which is a matter of trickery. Speaking for myself, I'm a little clever. The beatings I received as an apprentice were rarely because I couldn't learn, but mostly because I was smart and mischievous. My cleverness may not be revealed at all, if I had been to learn to strike iron, or to pull a sawβto be so old and so old, and not to change at all. Luckily, I learned how to be a pastemaker and learned the basic skills, and I began to come up with my own tricks, how dexterous and realistic I am. Sometimes I waste a lot of effort and materials in vain, and I can't make what I have in mind, but this teaches me to step up to figure it out, to mobilize, and to make it happen. This is really a good habit. I have to thank my apprentices for these three years, and I have developed the habit of using my own intelligence during these three years. It is true that I have never done anything big in my life, but no matter what I do, as long as it is something that ordinary people can do, I can understand it in one fell slur. I can build walls, plant trees, repair clocks, check the authenticity of leather goods, choose a date for marriage, and know the tricks of all kinds of work...... I have not learned any of this, but I have seen with my eyes and tested with my hands; I have the habit of working hard and learning more; This habit was developed during the three years of apprenticeship in the Dark Clothes Shop. Only now do I realize that I am dying of hunger! - If I had been reading for a few more years, and had only clung to my books, like those who had graduated from the academy and the show, I might have been confused for the rest of my life, and I would not know anything!
