Maybe most of the people in the village have gathered in their own homes, so Zhang Jie walked on the way to the old master's house, basically he didn't meet anyone, carrying two jars of wine in his hands, Zhang Jie came to the old master's house like this.

Naturally, he didn't dare to break into the house directly like his own old man, standing outside the door, Zhang Jie knocked on the door honestly, and then waited patiently for a while.

When he saw the old master who had filled in a lot of gray hair, Zhang Jie hurriedly put down the wine in his hand, and then respectfully saluted the old master: "Disciple Zhang Jie, I have come to pay a visit to the great grace of the teacher!" ”

"People come in, things come back!"

As always, the expressionless old master turned around and walked towards the hall, seeing the old master's expression, Zhang Jie knew that the old master didn't like to bring things to the door from the bottom of his heart, which was different from the polite words of ordinary people who said 'come to the door for nothing, and bring something', the old master was disgusted from the bottom of his heart to carry things to the door.

Groaning slightly, when Zhang Jie was embarrassed, he saw the old lady in the house also greeted him, for Zhang Jie, the proud protégé of the old master, the old lady naturally knew, and welcomed Zhang Jie, who was carrying wine, into the door, and the old lady suddenly whispered:

"Don't look at your husband always with a straight face, do you know, I knew that you were admitted to Xiucai last year, this old boy has been smiling on his face, talk to your husband well, and I'll go and fry two side dishes for your grandfather and grandson."

When the old lady went to the kitchen to work, Zhang Jie also entered the house, and when he entered the house, he saw that the old master was holding a book of Analects and reading it seriously, and he didn't come to the master's house once or twice. ”

"Whether it's a sycophant, it's good to be sincere, the old man just when you say what you say in your heart, say a word of truth, really talk about diligence, the old man is actually not as good as your dolls, the old man was sixteen years old to get a child, thirty-four years old to get a show, since then for decades, there is no inch of progress, now reading books, what is not seeking fame and fortune, but seeking knowledge does not retreat, you must know, there is no end to learning, if you do not advance, you will retreat."

Put the book in his hand on the desk, took a sip of tea and drank a sip of the old master's originally stiff face rarely showed a little emotion, pointed to the young man standing with his hands hanging on the side, and the silver-haired old master continued:

"The world has seen the scenery of your success, but no one has ever paid attention to the suffering behind you, the old man has accepted two hundred and fourteen apprentices in his life, among more than two hundred people, a single round of talent, there are not a few who are more talented than you, on understanding, there is no shortage of people who are higher than your understanding, but no one can come out of you, winter practice three nine, summer practice three dogs, you are the old man knows the people, the only one who can persevere, persistence, these two words are simple to say, but want to do, and talk about it easily, even if the old man thinks that he has not done it, The other 213 students of the old man can not do it, only you, and only you can do it, so you have a small achievement! ”

But you have to remember that your greatest strength, and your only strength, is to persist in the word, only by persisting in perseverance and hard work, only by insisting on the belief in your heart is as firm as a rock, and only by insisting that your heart is not shaken, you can climb higher. Xiucailang is the end of the old man, to say something that is not good, as expected, even your third uncle is hopeless in this life, but Xiucai is definitely not your end, on the contrary, this is just your starting point. Stick to it, and when you become famous in the coming year, it's not too late for the old man to go to your house to ask for a glass of water and wine. ”

The old master is the person who sees himself most thoroughly, just a few words, he will analyze all of Zhang Jie's thoroughly, as the old master said, he really has no talent, nor any great understanding, for scientific research, in addition to the step-by-step use of what he has thought and learned over the years, there is no open innovation at all, and there is no earth-shattering remarks, everything is so decent, it is precisely because he knows his own catty, so Zhang Jie is so strict with himself.

Before getting the right to speak, he will never make any earth-shattering remarks, and he will never make his true voice before he has the ability to protect himself.

"The master has good intentions, the students have been taught, the students know that they are dull, so they dare not relax for a day, the students know that their only advantage is the word hard work, the students do not have a solid family background to pave the way for the future of the students, then everything depends on the students themselves to work hard, the ruler is long, the inch is short, since they know that the only way out is hard work, then the student does not mind spending others two, three, five times the effort to study."

Zhang Jie said it seriously, and the master listened carefully:

"People rest, students know that time does not wait, so students will steal a few words, people play, students understand the truth that young and strong do not work hard, so they bite to read more articles, people sleep, students light oil lamps, every day will read until late at night, students are naturally very sleepy, but students know that now a little harder, more tired, in order to be more relaxed in the future, more comfortable, master but rest assured, a day does not go to the top, students will not relax for half a time, when the student gold list title, Let's invite Mr. to drink with me again! ”

"You grandparents and grandchildren are talking about the future here? Raise the champion, that's a matter for the future, now, let's fill your stomach first! ”

The old lady with two plates of food in her hand entered the house and quipped.

Seeing that the old lady had already prepared the meal, Zhang Jie hurriedly helped clean up the tables, chairs and benches, and waited for a few small dishes to be placed on the table, and the bowl of rice was also placed on the table. ”

"Xiaojie, then you have to work harder, your husband doesn't know how many years to live, three or five years, ten years and eight years can afford to wait, if you let your husband wait too long, I'm afraid this glass of wine can only be drunk underground!"

The flask was removed, and the old lady quipped.

"The gentleman has a strong body, and he will definitely live a long life." Zhang Jie poured a cup of tea for the old master, and at the same time poured himself a cup of tea, after picking up the tea, Zhang Jie said respectfully: "The student is stupid, and he can't say anything to make the master happy!" Only replace wine with tea, I wish the master a long life and a hundred years old! ”

"Tsk!"

Picking up the teacup and drinking it all, the old master snorted in his mouth, and then said with a face full of relief: "Good wine!" ”

The old lady on the side saw that the old man was full of energy, and her face was also full of laughter, and she couldn't stop serving vegetables to the old man and the young man.

The meal was hearty, and when he left the master's house, after seeing that his house was still full of people, he smiled bitterly, and Zhang Jie, who shook his head helplessly, had to hold the spirit of seeing death as home, and walked towards the lively crowd.
