In the frame is the title on the upper left, and the painting is named "Ants and Elephants".

And the scene is not so complicated: at sunset, an elephant with a high toe strides into the distance on a flat avenue. I just saw the huge back of the elephant. The outline of the elephant's head can only be seen slightly.

The elephant is very large and powerful, occupying about one-third of the horizontal paper. Under the sunset scene, the shadow projection of the elephant is also stretched out, and it is cast obliquely on the side of another muddy path next to the Guangming Avenue, almost obscuring the sky and the sun.

In the huge shadow of the elephant, a group of ants seems to be on their way home. The one at the front appears to be the leader ant, slightly larger, with a long row of tiny ant colonies at the back.

Teacher Fan held the painting in his hand and began to point:

"The elephants take the bright road, while the little ants can only walk the narrow muddy path next to it. Guess what would happen if the ants accidentally walked in the middle of the path the elephant was walking and blocked the elephant's path? ”

Teacher Fan spoke very slowly, as if he had something else to say. His eyes were not focused on the painting, but on the facial expression on Yao Yayao's face.

"The little ants will be crushed into powder by the elephant's legs, and they may not even be able to find their carcasses." Yao Yayao replied in a heavy tone.

"Do you think this is going to be the end? Can't the little ants barely survive in the narrow road encounter? ”

"I can't." Yao Yayao's tone of voice was very firm. Then, with a miserable laugh, he continued:

"When I was a sophomore in high school, there was a classmate in my class who came to school crying one morning, but he didn't come with a school bag."

"Teachers and classmates want to know what happened. Later, I learned that the old house of the classmate's ancestral house bungalow was listed as an old city renovation area. His father rejected the developer's unreasonable compensation plan for the demolition. So one night, a family of three was put into a van by a group of hooligans and dumped in the suburbs. When they got home, the old house had been razed to the ground. And my classmate's schoolbag was buried deep under the rubble and could no longer be taken out. ”

"Elephants never reason with little ants." Yao Yayao's tone of voice was very helpless, a little bit of a hint of interest. He already knew that Mr. Fan had deliberately painted such a painting to enlighten himself. Last time, Teacher Fan did just that, and he really enlightened himself.

In fact, after he understood the meaning of the painting, he was not as angry and impulsive as he had just been. He had always been very clever at learning, and naturally he was able to grasp the hidden meaning of this painting very quickly.

"If only you could understand these social realities!" Teacher Fan sighed, as if sighing for the misfortune of that classmate. Then Teacher Fan stretched out a finger and pointed to the slightly larger ant at the front of the row, and continued:

"The teacher is also an ant, at most a bigger ant, such as the one at the front. The big ants don't want the little ants to make the mistake of walking in the middle of the road and then being ruthlessly crushed by the elephants. The big ants want to keep the little ants safe, can you see what I mean? ”

Yao Yayao had already understood Teacher Fan's hard work at this time. He pondered for a long time before he uttered a sentence:

"Will the queen ant in the nest protect his little ants?"

"No, you can't. Because the ant nest can't stop the elephant's kick. In order to protect herself, the queen will only ruthlessly sacrifice her few people. Teacher Fan also seemed to know Yao Yayao's intention in asking this question, and quickly gave a straightforward answer.

"I see. Teacher Fan, this matter should have nothing to do with me, and I will not be so stupid as to automatically jump into the fire pit or something, let alone go to the school leaders to complain or the like, or chew my tongue in the school. Yao Yayao barely smiled.

"That's the best. Don't cross the line to stop the elephant's legs. Your way of avoiding coping with this will undoubtedly be very wise. Yayao, have you really figured it out?? Teacher Fan was a little worried that Yao Yayao was not telling the truth.

"Teacher, I've really figured it out. Although this was my idea, I couldn't do it with my personal ability to contact the production plant and get commercial sponsorship for the school. Although Li Xiaogang plagiarized my idea, he did make a great contribution to cleaning the classroom area. If I take my alma mater as the center and consider the overall situation, my personal gains and losses are actually insignificant and should not be in my mind. Yao Yayao said seriously. He has indeed figured it out a bit, and he doesn't care so much about personal reputation and interests anymore.

What if you can't figure it out? Can he really wrestle with Li Xiaogang's dumb boy? ? It is better to simply stand in the overall situation, learn the spirit of Mr. Lu Xun's Brother Q, and relax yourself. Yao Yayao's heart was smiling helplessly.

Teacher Fan stared at him in surprise and said:

"Yayao, I can't imagine that you can look at things from such a big picture! You're really rare! Not sticking to personal gains and losses, this is an excellent quality that only people who do big things will have. You will achieve a lot in the future, and the teacher is optimistic about you. ”

Then, Teacher Fan showed a very relieved smile. He slowly pushed the brown paper envelope on the table in the direction of Yao Yayao's side.

"Teacher Fan, I don't want this envelope. I don't want to continue taking his stinky money! Could you please help me return it? I will keep this matter a secret forever. If others ask, I will only say that the small basketball board support frame was the first to be bought by Li Xiaogang and put in the 216 dormitory. Although he has figured it out and made a compromise, Yao Yayao doesn't want to accept the huge amount of money in front of him at the moment.

3,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money for him, and it is his living expenses for three months on campus.

This money can allow him to have a happy life in the future, but for some reason, Yao Yayao is very disgusted with this money in his heart.

Teacher Fan shook his head, and said another truth with a serious look in his eyes:

"You have to take it. If you refuse, it is also a deliberate provocation against the elephant. This will cause them to pay extra attention to you, which can cause unnecessary trouble later on. ”

"The small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city. Since you're still in this school, it's more clever to make yourself completely invisible, and the whole person looks no different from any passer-by. ”

"I know you have ambitions, so you don't want such dirty money. But you can try to look at the same problem from a different perspective: their money is from unknown sources, or even from poor people. Therefore, you can look at this from the perspective of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. For example, you can donate the money to the disaster area, to a student who is seriously ill unexpectedly, to a children's welfare home, and so on. ”

"The money is not dirty. This is part of the fruit of your mental intelligence. Here's the compensation you deserve! Even if you don't take it, they won't feel guilty because of this conscience discovery! Although you are an unknown behind-the-scenes person, you have made a lot of contributions to your alma mater in private, so why not get some hard-earned money?! ”

Yao Yayao tilted his head, thought about it, and felt that what Teacher Fan said seemed to have a profound truth in life. After half a ring, he nodded reluctantly, and then reluctantly picked up the brown paper envelope on the table and slowly put it into his pocket.

Although it was easy to get so much money, Yao Yayao did not have any joy in his heart.

Seeing that Yao Yayao finally accepted his suggestion, Teacher Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He has always cared for his students and does not want them to make the wrong choices. He has been working at the university for several years, and has fully seen the tremendous power of some dark energy forces from the dark matter space in the campus universe.

If you force it to be tough, Yao Yayao's side is no different from hitting a stone with an egg.

Dark matter and dark energy are the supreme forces that rule the vast universe, and they are everywhere. And the faint positive energy emitted by small stars like the sun can only illuminate a small local region like the solar system. Teacher Fan was also laughing at himself in his heart.

At this time, Yao Yayao saw that Teacher Fan took out two other kraft paper envelopes from the bookshelf next to him and placed them on the table.

What's going on here?
