373. Days in the Mountains 4
As soon as Wan Jingji entered the room, he stood by the door and stopped. He banged his fingers on the wooden gate to attract the attention of the children inside.
Yao Yayao thought that he would reprimand the children on the spot, but after the children collectively raised their heads quietly, Wan Jingqi just said lightly:
"It's time for dinner! The number of braised pork is limited, so eat meat first, and drink soup slowly!"
So all the children, giggling, rushed out of the room. Soon, the children playing computer games in the next room also ran away. Look in the direction where the kids go, is the restaurant location.
Wan Jing walked into the room and began to clean up the mess. For example, squat on the ground and put the littered books back on the large bookshelves on both sides of the wall.
There were a lot of discarded books on the floor and on the desks, and some of them were even torn open and the pages were dropped. The torn book was taken and pasted with transparent adhesive tape on the side. He looked calm and didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction.
The room was large, and there were a lot of books scattered around the floor. Seeing this, Yao Yayao went in to help.
Yao Yayao picked up and sorted out the discarded large and small wolf pens on the ground and on the tables, took them to the washstand in the corner to wash them, and then sorted them back into a wooden pen holder of different sizes on a certain table.
All kinds of rice paper that have been scribbled can be sorted and sorted out for reuse, and some can only be thrown in the trash.
Yao Yayao finished finishing it here, and Wanjing Trace was still slowly sorting out the littered books on the floor. Yao Yayao did the same, squatting on the ground to pick up books, classifying them into the walls on both sides and putting them on various bookshelves.
Wan Jingji suddenly said: "You have an expression of wanting to speak, I guess you must be trying to say, why do these children not read well, but only care about playing games?" That's not right, is it? β
A strange smile appeared on his face: "I guess you may also say that knowledge changes fate, and children in the mountains can only get out of the mountains and realize their lofty ideals in life in the future if they study hard, right?" β
There was no one else in this room, and of course these words were for Yao Yayao. Yao Yayao replied casually:
"It's probably something like that... Isn't that what it is?!"
Wan Jingqi shook his head seriously and said:
"No, you're wrong! These books are big poisonous weeds and are not suitable for children. It's better for them to play games!"
Yao Yayao's expression was suddenly a little dull, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
Most of the books on this floor are "100,000 Whys", "Science for Teenagers", "Into Nature", "Ocean Kingdom", and various popular science albums introducing animals and plants, which are the most suitable for children to watch.
But when it came to the mouth of Wanjing, why did it suddenly become a "big poisonous weed"?!
Of course, Wan Jingqi saw the surprised and shocked expression on Yao Yayao's face. He smiled faintly, and there seemed to be a faint resentment in his eyes. He said:
"If a person reads too many books, he will usually automatically form a unique outlook on life, such as #The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world#, am I right?"
Of course, there is nothing wrong with that. So Yao Yayao only nodded.
Wan Jingji continued, "The usual ills of scholars, lifelong in nature, are probably like this: #ε± εΊε δΉι«εεΏ§ε Άζ°, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about it. It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. #β
In other words, people who read usually have a sense of family and country. They will often pay attention to national affairs, social affairs, and world affairs, and then all kinds of gains and losses, powerlessness, and worries. Maybe I will be entangled, and I will never be able to let go, so I will not be very happy for the rest of my life. β
Yao Yayao was a little stunned when he heard this: "It seems that what he said is right... β
Wan Jingji smiled faintly, "If the children don't read more, they won't be hit, this lifelong curse of #A lifetime of unhappiness#... If they don't study, they will always stay in the mountains, and they will only deal with God for the rest of their lives, and only look at God's face to live an ordinary life... It's a corner of peace like this.,Happy.,It's actually pretty good.γγγ Why go out of the mountains and ask for hardship?!"
"Outside the mountains, it is also ironclad to bend the waist of the powerful as a guest, nodding their heads every day, looking up at the sunny faces of the powerful to live. Maybe it's still a hard time... For example, if you spend a lifetime of energy, you may only buy a snail house in the city... In contrast, if you stay in the mountains and only look at God's face, you may be able to live a lifetime, and you will be happier, simpler and happier. β
"There are a lot of books in this room, but they are basically used as toys for children... No one here is going to ask the kids to read every day. They love to look at it or not, and they pull it down and make up their own minds. β
After saying this, the discarded books on the ground have been almost sorted out by the two of them.
Wan Jing clapped his hands and left, leaving Yao Yayao in the mess.
The first conversation between the two fought, Yao Yayao admitted that he was defeated!
Yao Yayao, of course, is not lacking in corresponding arguments. As a well-read scholar, he had at least instantly found five or six kinds of "quotations and classics" in his mind.
It's just that after he observed the scene just now and saw the bright sunny smiles on the faces of many children, he suddenly felt that the children's childhood was really simple and happy. At a young age, all kinds of complex knowledge in my mind every day may not be very useful in the future.
In this country, for example, the myopia rate among children in urban areas is said to be as high as 75%. However, these children, who had worked hard every day and never left their books, have grown up and have not seen many of them capable of receiving such recognized achievements as the Nobel Prize.
Wan Jingji's words just now made Yao Yayao suddenly think of a song, "Leng Yan Smile":
"This matter is strictly tasted and dewed, where the plum blossoms and snow and the moon meet, and the smile is empty for eternity. . . . Butterfly Dream Nanhua Fang is lifelike, who is the tiger across Feng? Now I have forgotten the way I came, the twilight of the country, and the end of the world sent Feihong away. β
The so-called reading thing, that is really a little karmic and specialized, maybe all the people are really not needed.
Why don't you just let some children forget the way they read blindly when they came, so that they can have a little more innocent smile on their cheeks from now on?!
Thinking of this, Yao Yayao also chose to listen silently, not wanting to debate with Wanjing on the spot.
Looking at the back of Wanjing trail drifting away, Yao Yayao suddenly understood something. The night before yesterday, Bu may have said to himself that ordinary people can't keep up with the rhythm of thinking and jumping in the track, so it is difficult to be friends with him.
After the conversation just now, Yao Yayao now understands the specific situation a little.
