Chapter 14: Hobbies and Gossip
He Qingping followed behind the little old man, and all kinds of messy ideas in his mind floated and fell, making him feel a little sci-fi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for the little old man saying that he was the teacher Zhao who was at the top of the talent list, he couldn't believe it anyway. He carefully looked at this little old man from up and down, left and right, in all directions, no matter how he looked at it, he was just a little old man who was not good-looking. I can't see that I have the slightest talent, either the old man is bragging, or this list is not reliable at all, and someone is looking for someone to make it up.
The list released by Wenxingge will have reasons and comments for those on the list. It's just that when I get to the top three of the talent list, the reasons and comments begin to merge and become obscure. Wen Xingge's explanation for Mr. Zhao, the top of the talent list, is only a short sentence: The weight of a school cannot be wasted! This kind of mysterious and mysterious statement makes people puzzled by the reason. He Qingping can only slander one sentence in his heart: bullshit.
However, they walked all the way, and many seniors and young teachers on the road, after seeing the little old man, would stop and say hello to the little old man very respectfully. This made He Qingping a little uncertain, could it be that the legendary peerless masters were all hidden in the city like this?
I can't believe it, but it's better than nothing. Didn't there be a high old man in his hometown who claimed to be a master, and he used to teach himself boxing. As a result, I practiced myself for a few years, but I didn't see a master. He Qingping was a little depressed, and the old man Gao did not tell himself his nickname for walking the rivers and lakes until he died last year. If someone asks who you are from, what should you give you a nickname?
He Qingping, who has been influenced by martial arts movies and martial arts novels since he was a child, does not dare to let this opportunity to meet a peerless master run away easily. And the old man, whose real name is Zhao Qianshan, as a physical education teacher, seems to want to be a legendary peerless master, and his hermit demeanor is fully displayed for a while. One old and one young, the two had no communication intentions, and they hit it off, so there was this wordless confrontation.
Just now the old man asked He Qingping what his hobby was, and He Qingping didn't dare to speculate with common sense when he thought about the master's question. I tried my best to find out the deep meaning of the other party, and I thought about it for a long time but couldn't.
After the last confrontation, He Qingping can be regarded as having participated in the duel between basketball masters and felt the attractive elements in basketball. For example, the display of strength and speed, the clever coordination of teammates, the thrill of beating the opponent after scoring a goal, etc. This allowed him to dispel his previous prejudice against basketball, but if you want to say how much he loves basketball, it is still not.
However, He Qingping himself also knows that if he really wants to talk about his hobbies, I'm afraid he won't be able to get any of them. There's no way, I've been talented since I was a child, and I can learn everything, such as cooking rice and stir-frying, catching lobsters, repairing TVs, and the like. Even basketball, which was not very interesting before, is not as soon as it comes into contact with the masters. If it were football, billiards, badminton, etc., it would probably be the same result.
He Qingping sighed secretly, it seems that it is not a good thing to have too many talents, and I don't know where to put it, which can be regarded as a genius's trouble.
Teacher Zhao, who was wearing a peaked cap, walked silently in front and watched coldly for a long time. He just asked a very ordinary question casually, but he didn't expect it to make this kid think about it for so long. And he was secretly sad, and he looked like he was going to be worried.
If he knew He Qingping's true thoughts, it was estimated that the old man would spit and drown the other party. Old man, I've seen more geniuses, just you? Stay where it's cool.
Seeing that He Qingping was a little afraid to speak, Teacher Zhao stopped talking, and snorted coldly, "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”
He Qingping organized the language in his heart, and asked cautiously, "That little old man...... Well, Mr. Zhao, do you think lobster catching is a hobby? ”
Originally, He Qingping was ready to be teased, but he didn't expect the old man to stop and start thinking seriously about this issue, which greatly improved He Qingping's perception of him.
"It should be counted, it's similar to fishing, and people have fishing competitions. But lobster catching is a child's game that can't be on the table. Besides, you are studying in No. 2 Middle School, where is the lobster to catch for you? ”
"I can bring a few lobsters from home, that thing reproduces super fast, as long as you throw a few into the sea of learning, soon the second middle school will be rich in lobsters."
The old man couldn't laugh or cry at this answer, so he had to threaten, "Then you can catch it and try it, and see if the school doesn't expel you." ”
He Qingping whispered unconvinced, "The school doesn't know that I brought it." ”
The old man was so angry that he was about to fight, but he was easily dodged by the other party, and he shook his hand helplessly. sighed in my heart: I really don't know how this kid grew up peacefully until now.
"Hobbies are related to the environment, countrymen have countrymen's hobbies, but city people don't understand, like you said lobster catching, fishing, vegetable planting, farming, etc.; City people have hobbies that people in the city don't understand, such as shopping, watching movies, drinking coffee, and so on. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he glanced back, and He Qingping nodded hurriedly. This sentence is easy to understand, and he really understands it. He himself is a living example, he used to study where there was no basketball court and he couldn't play basketball, but then he had a basketball court and learned it. This also explains why people laugh at him for catching lobsters as a hobby.
"When I arrived at the school, I said that I had hobbies in the school, poetry and singing in terms of culture, singing, dancing, painting and calligraphy in art, and various ball games and track and field sports in sports. Of course, there are other miscellaneous new things, and there are many things that the old man has never seen. You don't have to go in the direction that others say, but you have to have hobbies. Take you high school students as an example, now you are still mainly reading, hobbies are just a pastime, it doesn't seem to matter, in fact, having hobbies and not having hobbies are two different things. If you have a hobby, you will give yourself another way to find the true joy of life in addition to reading. People should have their own hobbies, not to let you do this for the rest of your life, but to let you have something to sustenance in your life, so that your life will not become pale. Life is most afraid of a pool of stagnant water. ”
"However, some people can directly take reading and writing homework as a hobby." He Qingping remembered an interesting story. There was a glasses man in their class who didn't like to talk, surnamed Wang, and everyone called him Wang Glasses. In addition to completing the homework assigned by the teacher every day, he also bought his own question book to do, and spent almost his spare time doing the problem. After the head teacher, Sister Fan, found out and ran over to persuade him, asking him to relax and find something interesting to do. Wang Glasses replied: There is ease in the question, and fun in the question. Let Sister Fan return in vain. Later, this sentence was taken by the math teacher to other classes as a class motto.
He Qingping thought for a while, and suddenly realized that the old man didn't speak, he carefully stretched his neck to look at the old man, and found that his expression seemed to be hesitant, and seemed to be a little painful, and then finally relieved. He Qingping felt that it was almost time to teach the secret secrets of peerless martial arts, so he hurriedly retracted his neck and thought well.
"You should have guessed the identity of the teacher who wrote just now, right?"
"Well, the top of the red sleeve list is a music teacher."
Her ...... Have you heard of things too? ”
"I've heard of it."
Zhao Qianshan was angry, "Talk about people!" ”
"Oh, okay. I heard a female classmate in our class say that she had a teacher-student love affair with a senior who played basketball a few years ago, and then she was abandoned. I don't know where they heard it, but I don't believe it. That fairy sister, no, Teacher Li is so beautiful, how can anyone be willing to abandon it. ”
"It's true!"
"I'll just say it...... Kindness? No way? ”
"The senior you are talking about used to be my student. His acquaintance with Mr. Li was first matched by me. ”
He Qingping, who wanted to hear the peerless martial arts cheats, didn't hear it, but heard a peerless scandal, didn't dare to speak, and immediately made a gesture of looking at his nose and nose. can only pour bitter water in my heart: what do you tell me to do this, I am not one of those girls who like scandals.
The old man exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to exhale all the stuffiness that had been in his chest for a long time. But it didn't seem to be done, he just smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said, "Mr. Li is because he has nothing to put in his life, so he puts his sustenance on his feelings, and he can't get out until now." ”
"Isn't she a music teacher?"
The old man shook his head, "Music is just a job for her, maybe not even a hobby. ”
"Isn't she still writing brushes......" As soon as he spoke, He Qingping realized that something was wrong, and the rumored negative senior was the daughter of a calligrapher.
The old man understood and said, "There are also rumors that are not true, but you don't need to dig deeper. I said that I wanted to find someone to talk to, and secondly, I wanted to explain to you the importance of hobbies, you understand. ”
He Qingping nodded, and immediately shook his head again, "However, except for catching lobsters, I don't know what my hobby is, and I haven't tried many things." ”
"Then go for it, are you stupid?" The old man snorted again, "A few days ago, I saw you playing basketball on the court. ”
He Qingping scratched his head embarrassedly, "It turns out that the old ...... Mr. Zhao has seen it all. ”
"You can shout as much as you want, I always feel uncomfortable listening to you shout the teacher."
"Hehe, old man, Lao Zhao, what do you think of my play, is it particularly talented in basketball?"
The old man didn't bother to answer this idiot's question, but continued to teach on his own.
"When you are familiar with a hobby and understand it, you will be better than the average person in this area, and it will become your specialty. People who have their own strengths will have self-confidence in their hearts that others do not have; What is manifested externally, seen and recognized by everyone, is talent. ”
"Then let me interview, Mr. Zhao, as the top of the talent list, what aspect of talent do you think the judges fancy you?"
"I'm just a physical education teacher who is about to retire, and what kind of talent I can have is just a false name that everyone respects the elderly and deliberately gives me a name."
He Qingping seemed to think of something, and paused, "Huh-that talent list shouldn't have been selected by yourself, right?" ”
The old man did not speak.
"By the way, Mr. Zhao, what is your sustenance?"
"I don't know."
"Teacher Zhao used to teach Chinese, and he looks like he can speak well."
“……”
"Don't be so stingy, Lao Zhao, everyone chatted so happily, they can be regarded as friends, you can't be stingy with friends......"
At night, one old and one young, noisily walked past the basketball court.
The stars in the sky bring a little brilliance to the earth, and people can dimly see the people and objects on the court. A ball bounced right off the inside edge of the basket, jumped a few times, and then rolled to the three-point line, where it was blocked by one foot. The practitioner, who was already sweating profusely, bent over slightly, gasping for air. The long hair on his forehead was wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead like black tape. He glanced at the strange pair and muttered, "Neurotic." Then pick up the ball and continue practicing your three-point shot.
