8. There is an Uncle Feng

In the mountains of Guizhou in the 90s of the last century, on a hazy night, in the humble ward of the township health center, a young couple gave birth to a little boy of less than 6 pounds, he is Qingfeng. The young couple were relaxed parents.

Guizhou, a plateau province and city, is located in the northwest of China, and Yunnan forms the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Mountains and Guizhou are united, and when you think of Guizhou, you will think of mountains and mountains, mist, waterfalls, and rivers. Guizhou and Yunnan, are the inhabited areas of China's ethnic minorities, many of them are our old revolutionary areas, think that during the Long March, Chairman Mao wisely sent troops, 4 crossed the Chishui, and the two wars of Zunyi were here.

However, Guizhou, because of its mountains, is a poor area for the old and the young, especially in some deep mountains, and the life of the common people is still very difficult. Qingfeng's hometown is in this deep mountain, there are no dozens of families in a village, scattered in various mountain cols, there is very little land, all are terraced fields, it is not easy to work, and various natural disasters also occur frequently, so that the people living in this land are struggling on the poverty line, guarding the gold and silver mountains, but it is the root cause of their poverty. The only way out for them is through good policies that allow them to get out of the mountains and work in the city to earn some life-saving money.

Qingfeng's father, after the full moon of Qingfeng, went to work in Guangzhou, far south with many young people in the village. Qingfeng's mother, after he was weaned, also took the train to Guangzhou, and worked in Guangzhou with his father. The peasants in the mountains are very simple and have no culture, so they can only use their strong bodies to do some hard life as a wage earner. The salary is really not much, but they save money and send some money to their families every year to maintain the lives of their parents and sons.

Qingfeng grew up with his grandparents since he was a child, and since he began to babble, he is different from others, the first word others learn is mother, and the first voice he calls out is grandma. The old and sick grandmother really cared for him, and all the clothes he wore were sewn by his grandmother for him. Although the family has some money sent back by his parents, his grandparents are also reluctant to eat and wear, so they leave the best food for their grandson Qingfeng, and try to make him two new clothes every year. Qingfeng is also like other children, playing in the village, playing with friends, playing hide and seek together, and playing house together.

The memories of my childhood are the old houses in the village, the bulls in the terraces, the hens in the chicken coop, and the earth dogs running around in the village. He himself is happy to play every day, never causes trouble to adults, although he is naughty, but rarely causes trouble, because he knows that his parents are not around, and his grandparents are very old, and they can't be naughty and cause trouble like others, because their age can't afford to worry about that heart.

His parents sent him a few children's pictorials from Guangzhou, and his grandfather took these pictorials and told him the stories in the pictorials over and over again, and the most memorable thing for him was the story of the three little pigs. The two little pigs who split up and were finally eaten by the big bad wolf became the object of his ridicule, and the third piglet, who was both smart and kind, became his idol, and how to become smarter became the greatest hope in his heart.

When he was three and a half years old, this was the beginning of his childhood memory, on the way to play on the west slope, there was an ancient Taoist temple, where a middle-aged man lived from nowhere, and after seeing him, he liked him ever since. He became a frequent visitor to this middle-aged man, he silently accompanied this middle-aged man, and this middle-aged man also devoted his efforts to enlighten him, using the oldest teaching materials.

This middle-aged man's surname is Feng, and everyone in the village calls him Daoist Feng, and Qingfeng calls him Uncle Feng.

Uncle Feng was dressed differently from others, wearing a Taoist robe, his hair was curled on his head, a hairpin was inserted in his hair, he was always a white sock, leggings on his trousers, and black round cloth shoes. is completely dressed as a Taoist priest, but he never preaches to everyone, but in the small courtyard of the Taoist temple, under the loofah shelf, holding a thread-bound book, reading carefully.

When Qingfeng came here, Uncle Feng would give him something delicious to eat, and then he would bring him a small book, and Uncle Feng would be greedy, and after reading it, he would ask Qingfeng to memorize these. At the beginning, it was the "Three Character Classic", because it took more than a month to memorize the "Three Character Classic" proficiently, and then it was "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names" and "Zengguang Xianwen". Because these books are very rhyming and memorized like children's songs, Qingfeng is especially willing to memorize them, and soon, he memorizes them. The next two books to memorize are a bit difficult, because these two books are too long, one is "Kindergarten Qionglin", and the other is "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", these two books took about two or three months to memorize.

Curiosity made Qingfeng feel good, and asked Uncle Feng several times, what is "the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time"? Why is it difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger, and why is it difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger, and why "to see people only say three points, but not to throw away all of their hearts". Whenever Qingfeng asked him why, Uncle Feng smiled kindly with him, touched his little head, and said softly, "Li Yufeng, are you still young now?" When you grow up, you'll know why, now don't you ask so much why? You will memorize all these books, know all these words, and slowly memorize more and you will understand, and when you grow up, I will tell you a lot of stories in them, and you will know them all at that time. ”

In Qingfeng's young heart, Uncle Feng is the most learned person, so what he says can only be listened to, not questioned, a good person like Uncle Feng, there will be no problem listening to him, so Qingfeng gave up those whys, and followed Uncle Feng's requirements wholeheartedly, and continued to endorse. Uncle Feng would occasionally stop and take him to read it a few times, correcting his dialect and pronunciation, and when Uncle Feng read these books, he was fascinated by his tone and frustration, his eyes closed, and his head shaking.

After half a year, Qingfeng memorized these books, Uncle Feng prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and handed it to Qingfeng to write brush words one by one, for nearly a year, Uncle Feng taught Qingfeng to learn brush words every day, Qingfeng's dexterous little hands, no less than hundreds of brush words written every day, and then it was repeated to recite the books that had been memorized, and in the process of memorizing, he understood a lot of truth in those books. Uncle Feng came with two friends, and after the two friends left, Uncle Peng took out two more books for Qingfeng, one was "Disciple Rules" and the other was "Confucius's Family Motto", because of the previous endorsement experience, Qingfeng memorized these two books in 10 days. After a year of endorsement and practice of calligraphy, Uncle Feng asked Qingfeng not to learn new things, but to ask him to write out the books he had memorized in the past, stroke by stroke, and it took three months for Qingfeng to finish writing those books silently, Uncle Feng read it, and he was very happy.

In order to reward Qingfeng, Uncle Feng found two abacus and handed them to Qingfeng, and handed over the addition formula and multiplication formula to him, and carried out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on the abacus. Unconsciously, two years have passed, from three and a half years old to five and a half years old. Uncle Feng gave him three more books, one is "Three Hundred Tang Poems", one is "300 Song Poems", and one is "The Book of Songs", Uncle Feng is different this time than before, every time Qingfeng recites a poem or a word, Uncle Feng will explain the background and author of the poem in detail, especially how to rhyme, how to use words? Uncle Feng's words are like poems, Qingfeng loves to listen to them very much, and what he said, Qingfeng also remembered in his mind. It took nearly half a year for Qingfeng to memorize these three books, and Uncle Feng also finished explaining these three books, and then Uncle Feng found two more books, one is Confucius's "Analects" and the other is Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". Sometimes, I started to compose poems, fill in words, and write articles with Qingfeng, all of which were in classical Chinese.

Qingfeng's poems are very good, and Uncle Feng praises him every time

Qingfeng's words are very naïve, and Uncle Feng is still full of praise.

The classical Chinese articles written by Qingfeng are also used very accurately by those who know it, but in the sense of the word, sometimes there are mistakes, Uncle Feng never tolerates it, explains the intention of the word in detail, and then scrutinizes it well, and uses the most accurate word or word.

When Qingfeng went to school, the things that the teacher talked about in class were all modern, and there were many differences with what Uncle Feng said, although it was not as good as what Uncle Feng said, but Qingfeng would listen quietly, because Uncle Feng asked him to learn from others.

Uncle Feng specially bought a repeater, bought a few English books, and began to teach Qingfeng to learn foreign languages, Qingfeng studied very seriously, Uncle Feng's standardization is particularly good, so the pronunciation of English is also very positive, just like the announcer in the radio, reading English is particularly standard and good. Learning English is still that way, mainly memorization, Uncle Feng used "New Concept" English Volume 1, and 900 sentences of commonly used daily English, and really handed over Qingfeng for two years, and then Uncle Feng found the original English novel from his own bookshelf, Qingfeng can basically understand, and if you don't understand, ask Uncle Feng.

On Uncle Feng's bookshelf, the collection of books is particularly rich, Qingfeng's favorite, in addition to the four famous novels, is 100 classic classical novels, because there is a basis for memorizing classical Chinese, Qingfeng looks at these novels very easily, the four famous books have been read several times, some key paragraphs, key chapters, he can recite it.

Time flies quickly, 10 years have passed in the blink of an eye, 4-year-old Xiao Qingfeng has become a 14-year-old handsome young man, Qingfeng is here every day in addition to school, taking some food and vegetables from home to Uncle Xu, sometimes grandma will come over to help Uncle Feng cook, eat and live with Uncle Xu. Uncle Feng is very patient, no matter what kind of problems Qingfeng encounters in his studies, Uncle Feng will remember and understand the answers clearly. Soon he was about to enter the third year of junior high school, and Uncle Feng took time to explain all the knowledge points of each subject in junior high school to Qingfeng. In the process of speaking, he found that Qingfeng was not very interested in political class, so he was also very sloppy in learning, Uncle Feng took out time to read the political class of the junior high school textbook for three days, and then explained to Qingfeng for 10 days on scientific socialism, basic theory of Marxism, and socialism with Chinese characteristics. He also developed a strong interest in the study of political science.

As expected, Qingfeng was admitted to a key high school in the province with the best grades, and was going to leave home to go to school in the provincial capital, the tuition was very expensive, Uncle Feng came to the provincial capital quietly, and paid all the high school tuition fees for Qingfeng, when Qingfeng took the hard-earned money of his parents and went to school to pay the fees, the school told him that all his expenses had been paid by a kind person, you just had to come to school, and the good Samaritan sponsored his living expenses of 300 yuan every month, 300 yuan, And it was a month, Qingfeng was overwhelmed with joy, and hurriedly wrote to tell his parents in Guangzhou, and they went back and said that they didn't know who this kind person was. Grandpa knew very well that he found Uncle Feng with Qingfeng, grandpa made Qingfeng kneel on the ground and kowtowed to Uncle Feng three times, grandpa said, this is a lifelong benefactor, never forget him.
