Chapter 228. Throwing bricks and stones
Lin Yi didn't expect that at this "dangerous" juncture, he would be rescued by Feng Dashan. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info then looked at Feng Dashan and scolded the children, "Look at what you look like, the guests are not good to greet and even smash snowballs, which teacher taught you, hurry up and apologize to the guests!" ”
The children seemed to be very afraid of the teaching director, and they looked at Lin Yi with aggrieved faces one by one, not knowing whether to apologize or not.
Lin Yi said, "You misunderstood, Director Feng, I was playing with them just now, I haven't had a snowball fight for a long time." You say, don't you? ”
The children looked at him, nodded hurriedly, and their mouths were even more "mmmmmmmm
Feng Dashan also knew that Lin Yi had good intentions, so he said with a straight face: "Let's play while you guys!" Remember, play less for a while, it's cold. Although he may seem stern, the dean cares about his students.
The children sighed, then ran to the playground with the basketball in their arms, leaving their little footprints on the white snow.
Feng Dashan turned around to Lin Yi and smiled embarrassedly and said, "These children were left to tutor alone during the winter vacation, they don't study well, and they are also naughty, don't laugh." ”
Lin Yi said it didn't matter.
Feng Dashan said again: "It's cold outside, let's go, I'll take you to the principal's office, Principal Li has been waiting for you!" ”
……
The so-called principal's office is not very large, it is about 15 square meters, and most of the office is occupied by bookshelves.
When Lin Yi went in, Li Weimin was holding Nuan Shuibao and writing something, and he was writing too seriously, and he didn't even notice anyone coming in.
Seeing this, Feng Dashan coughed and reminded, "Principal Li, Mr. Lin is here." ”
Li Weimin came back to his senses at this time, saw Lin Yi coming in clearly, and hurriedly got up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm busy writing......"
Lin Yi said: "I'm embarrassed, I'm here to disturb you at this time." ”
"Where are you talking, come on, please take a seat!" pulled a chair and gave it to Lin Yi.
Feng Dashan next to him said, "Do you want to open the stove and make it hot." ”
There is a honeycomb coal road in the corner of the wall, which is usually used to boil water, and it can be warmed up in winter, but it costs coal.
Li Weimin said: "This doesn't need to be said, hurry up, and make some tea by the way." ”
Feng Dashan was busy picking briquettes and cooking tea, and Lin Yi and Li Weimin were a little embarrassed to sit face to face.
I can't just say that I want to see the school library, I came with the idea of old books.
The other can't just say that he will donate some money to build the school well.
The two of them are like dealing with each other for the first time, you look at me, I look at you, and the atmosphere is very awkward.
In the end, it was Lin Yi who broke the silence, pointed to the bookshelves and said, "Principal Li, I didn't expect you to be also a book lover, so many books, can you read them all?" ”
As soon as Li Weimin heard Lin Yi mention books, he laughed and said: "This is just a part of my book collection, I'm a person, I don't have any hobbies, I like to read, and I can read any book in a mess......
Lin Yi smiled and said: "The gold content of your book is very high, ordinary people can't read it, like the "Maugham Anthology" and "Herbos Collection", it is not something that ordinary people can understand." ”
After going through so much, Lin Yi also knows some skills in dealing with people, such as starting from each other's hobbies and finding hot topics, so that it is easy to get closer to each other.
Undoubtedly, Lin Yi's trick is very effective, especially Li Weimin is also a book lover, although he is not like Lin Yi, who mainly collects old books, his principle of reading and buying books is pragmatism, and the books he buys and reads are his favorites and helpful to himself. So when I heard Lin Yi's boast of his reading level, I felt like I had found a confidant, and my originally reserved mind had already relaxed.
"Hehe, those two books are a bit out of the way, young people nowadays rarely have the patience to read them--- I'm not talking about you, just look at your appearance, you love to read like me." Li Weimin said with a smile.
Lin Yi said: "Praise me, I'm blind." Wow, these books are so old, they are all from the seventies and eighties, well, and the ...... from the sixties," Lin Yi said, and simply got up and looked at the books on the bookshelf with interest.
Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be very interested in the books on his bookshelf, Li Weimin also stood up, in a happy mood, opened the chatterbox, and began to talk about his books.
He said: "I loved to read when I was very young, and when I grew up, I loved books even more, when Xinhua Bookstore had not yet opened the shelves to sell books, readers had to stand outside the glass counter to buy books, with their feet crossed, their necks stretched, their eyes wide open to scan the books on the counter, identify the titles of the books, and guess the general content of the books. Only after I was a little sure did I dare to ask the salesman to take the book and read it. If you don't choose the book you want to buy three times or twice, the salesperson will get impatient and turn around and ignore you somewhere else.
I live in the countryside, 20 kilometers away from my home, in Songshu Town, where I have a relatively large supply and marketing cooperative, which also sells books. The light in the supply and marketing cooperatives was not good, so I finally saved a few dollars and bought a few books to go back, but I couldn't understand it at all.
Many years later, Xinhua Bookstore implemented open-shelf book sales, and you can really take the books as you like, but don't forget to pay before you go out. Once, when I caught up with a book sale, I chose so many books that I couldn't hold on, and I was afraid that others would pick them off. Seeing this, the salesman found me a box and asked me to put the books in the box and drag them to continue to choose books. Later, when the boxes couldn't fit enough, the salesman lent me their cart again, and that was my happiest time. ”
Lin Yi looked through those books, and sure enough, there were seals of the supply and marketing cooperatives and Xinhua Bookstore on the back cover of many books.
Thinking about it, Lin Yi was relieved, after all, as a young man who was very bookish, it is estimated that Li Weimin at that time was also high-spirited and reprimanded, plus the surrounding environment was good, so he disdained to go to those old book stalls to buy old books. Although old books are cheap, they are used by others, and for some people, they don't like to go shopping. It's like a lot of men have a virginity complex, they like it first-hand and don't like what others have used. But in the eyes of Lin Yi, who likes to buy old books, the greatest value of old books is that they have their own stories, their own history, from one person to another, what they have experienced during this period, which is mysterious and interesting enough.
Li Weimin didn't know that his temperament had been conveyed to Lin Yi through these "book words", and Lin Yi already had a deeper understanding of him.
This is the "bottom line" in communication, trying to arouse the topics that the other party is interested in, allowing the other party to speak freely, and figuring out the other party's personality and temperament.
Where did Li Weimin know so much, the more he talked to Lin Yi, the more energetic he became, and the more he talked, the more he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Also, as the principal of the school, he basically stays in the school all day long, and the people he contacts are either teachers or students, and there is no one who can really talk to each other. I have a stomach full of "book talk", but I don't know who to talk to. I finally ran into Lin Yi today, so I don't want to say it.
Invisibly, Li Weimin regarded Lin Yi as a friend and a New Year's friend.
"Xiaolin, tell you that you may not believe it, from 1976 to 1982, I read a lot of books during this period, 99% of them were garbage, wasting the best years of studying. It's not easy to find a book in the countryside, and I look for everything with words. Gorky's description of 'hungry people pounce on steamed buns' is far from enough to express the extent to which I was hungry for reading at that time. I have seen a lot of ancient and modern hard reading, but 'all night' and 'night and day', I often 'stay all night' and then 'day and night', and even read books for three days and three nights in a row. At that time, the works of Chairman Mao and Lu Xun were the only ones that could be read publicly and were easy to see. Mao's work is a passive study, following the adults to coax him, memorizing the 'old three articles' and a lot of 'quotations'; reading Lu Xun's articles seems to understand whether he understands or not, but fortunately, he is familiar with his face early. Some of the weird sentences are funny, 'Silence, silence, don't explode in silence, die in silence', and I think writing has a unique level of using this word.
Other illustrated political literature books, such as "Cotai Boulevard", "A Thousand Heavy Waves", "Fierce Battle of the Nameless River", "Charge Ahead", "The History of the Battle of Hongnan", "The New Little Stone Pillar", "Red Cherry Song", "Three Explorations of the Red Fish Cave", etc., have been read no less than a dozen times.
1982 to 1992. When I joined the work, I knew for the first time that there was a "masterpiece". Rousseau taught me self-examination and self-reflection; Read the Confessions and resolve to be a good person.
"Martin Eden" tells the story of a sailor and a working boy who grew into a famous writer through personal struggle. No matter what situation a person finds himself in, as long as he works hard, he will eventually succeed.
The British writer Maugham is not well-known to Chinese readers, because our media has no other branches, a few crappy cooks, and can only eat what is served to the people. "Blade" and "The Shackles of Life" were bought a long time ago, and after I bought them back, I flipped them aside and put them aside, and then I turned them back and read them all at once, and they strongly attracted me. I admire Maugham's grasp of the psychology of the characters, especially the psychological portrayal of women is very expressive. ”
Seeing that it was almost over, Lin Yi said casually: "Since Principal Li loves reading so much, there must be a lot of good books in the school library!" ”
As soon as Li Weimin heard this, he slapped his thigh and said: "I'm ashamed, there are a lot of good books in it, especially a lot of thread-bound books, when the four old ones were used for sports, many ancient books were copied over, and they were all stuffed in the school library......
Listening to these words, Lin Yi was very distressed. That's all a treasure, and it's been ruined like this.
"And now, how many more?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Alas! Just check it out. Li Weimin sighed.
Lin Yi's heart immediately cooled. (To be continued.) )
