Chapter Ninety-Five: Still
When I got up in the morning, I saw my little aunt sitting at the door of her house fiddling with her toothbrush, and I guessed that God had been poked by Monkey King, and it was raining non-stop.
When Zhang Jie was brushing his teeth and washing his face by the well water with an umbrella, he saw that his little aunt was struggling with a small wooden stick, very serious and careful, she should be making the handle of the toothbrush.
Well, I was not defeated, and I didn't complain. Well, in any case, yesterday's enlightenment was not in vain.
After washing up, Wang had just gotten up and gone to the kitchen to work, and there was still a period of time before breakfast, so Zhang Jie moved a small bench, then sat at the door with a book, and began to shake his head and read aloud.
"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection.
Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained.
Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest. ”
The voice was very crisp, and when Zhang Jie was shaking his head and reading there, the people in the whole courtyard were awakened, and the little aunt also glanced at herself deliberately, as if she didn't understand why she was so loud.
Even if you practice your voice, you don't need to howl like this.
The article is difficult to understand, in short, just such a short paragraph, if you want to fully understand its meaning, if you want to be undefeated by the careful thinking it expresses, you have to spend a lot of time thinking carefully and slowly figure it out.
People with high understanding can understand the truth at a glance and understand the main point of the article, but unfortunately, Zhang Jie does not belong to this category.
If you want to understand a sentence, you have to spend a lot of effort, and you can't be afraid of wasting your brain, and you can't be afraid of wasting time, the first thing you need to do in a sentence is to read him more than ten or twenty times.
The time it takes to spend like this is naturally terrifying, this is just a sentence of a book, if you want to take the exam, there are so many books that need to be read, and with Zhang Jie's careful gnawing and slow study attitude, it is very difficult to read dozens of books before the autumn exam in August next year! You can see it!
This is also the reason why every time the old master sees Zhang Jie, he asks him not to pay too much attention to the exam results, because the old master doesn't think that Zhang Jie will be able to be admitted next year, so he will give him vaccinations all the time, which can be regarded as a reminder to Zhang Jie, even if he fails in the next year, he can be regarded as having a psychological preparation in advance.
As Zhang Jie read the ode article there, the family was woken up regardless of size, and Zhang Tie of the uncle's family may not have slept well, and he howled twice when he was woken up, and it was raining outside, so although Xiao Ni and the children got up, they had no way to go out to play, so they had to lie at the door to watch Zhang Jie read the ode article.
Several women were busy in the kitchen together, and it didn't take long for breakfast to be ready, naturally, there would not be too much food in the morning, a bowl of noodles per person, in addition to Zhang Jie and the third uncle's bowl beating an egg, it was just pickled by the old lady, and the taste was not bad.
While picking up the meal, Zhang Jie suddenly stopped his chopsticks, and then said to Zhang Xia: "Little aunt, when I was on my last study tour, I spent all the ten silver ingots you gave me. ”
When Zhang Jie spoke, Zhang Xia, who was eating, was obviously stunned, obviously not understanding for a while why the little boy mentioned this matter at the dinner table, and it was obviously seven taels of silver, how could it become ten taels in a blink of an eye.
"If my little aunt needs any money, just tell me, I will ask my mother to go with you to the neighborhood to borrow some money, if there is more, three or five strings of money can still be collected for you."
Seeing that Zhang Xia didn't speak, Zhang Jie continued to speak.
"Oh, no, there's nothing to use the money right now, besides, those ...... The money is for you to study, and if you give it, you will give it, and you will never be expected to pay it back to me! ”
Zhang Xia, who reacted at this time, replied with a slightly strange face.
After Zhang Jie said a few polite words, the family continued to eat, but during the meal, the old man and the old lady glanced at Zhang Jie several times, and their expressions were also a little strange.
After a few bites of rice in the bowl, he put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Zhang Jie said, "Eat well, I'm going to the school!" ”
When Zhang Jie took the book in his arms and went out with an umbrella, the old man also specially instructed him not to delay his schoolwork, Zhang Jie agreed loudly, and rushed into the rain.
When I walked on the road, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I had my own morning, so I guess the old man and the old lady would not be able to embarrass the little aunt anymore.
The last time I went on a study tour, everyone in the family knew that my aunt had given her some money, but no one knew how much she had given. Even Wang didn't know the exact number.
However, Zhang Jie deliberately said ten taels in the morning, in fact, he didn't want the old lady to speak to the little aunt anymore.
Since she was eight years old, Zhang Xia spent six years, saving about twenty taels of silver, and spent more than two taels on Li Fei's little cub, and then gave Zhang Jie seven taels, and yesterday the old lady took ten taels.
If Zhang Jie doesn't take care of this for the little aunt, and when the old lady opens her mouth to ask for money again, then the little aunt will probably be in trouble, with Zhang Jie's understanding of her, the little aunt will definitely say that she gave herself seven taels, and then, there will be a vacancy of nearly three taels of silver, and just that, these three taels of silver are the bottom line of the old man and the old lady.
The old man allowed Zhang Xia to save money by herself, that is to know that it is not easy for her little girl, even if the family is in difficulty, the old man does not allow anyone to touch the little aunt's money, you know, the old man's coffin has been spent in the past two years, and this has not touched a penny of the little aunt, but if the old man knows that Zhang Xia actually gave the money she worked hard to save to her biological father, it is estimated that whether it is the old man or the old lady, there will be a feeling in his heart that he has raised a white-eyed wolf over the years!
But Zhang Jie's fluttering words in the morning, even if everything is cut off in the bud, since Zhang Jie said that the little aunt gave him ten taels of silver for the study tour, that is, ten taels of silver, no one can be held accountable for this matter, the world is big, and the scholar is the most knowledgeable, no matter what, as long as it is involved with the study and study, then everything must stand back, and it must not block the way of the study Lang.
The matter of the little aunt can be regarded as coming to an end, and after tightening the books in his arms, Zhang Jie refocused on his schoolwork.
The little aunt was not defeated, even if the years of hard work were all in vain, but she still got up early in the morning to make a toothbrush, which means that she has gotten up again, even if she fell a big heel yesterday, but she did get up again.
I promised other people's things, but I can't just talk about it, and it's just like that. My aunt trusts herself wholeheartedly, and if she doesn't respond with 200% effort, how can she be worthy of this trust?
"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection.
……”
The heavy rain is still there, the recitation of the reading lang walking on the road is still the same, and in the school in front of it, the sound of students who get up early are reading......
Still!
