Chapter 27 of the Year of Tranquility

(a)

September 15th

In the morning, I went to Xinhua Bookstore to read books, and I didn't go home until more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Today I saw a book in Xinhua Bookstore "Women Just Want to Be Rich", and I quite agree with the views in the book: nothing is reliable for women, only money is the most reliable, and only with money can we live a life of leisure and wealth, so that we will not be trapped by the economy, and we will live a nourishing life. There is really nothing terrible for a woman to have money, so women should work hard to train themselves to become attractive women, seize their youth to learn more skills, try to find a good husband who is more satisfied in all aspects, and save more money while they are young. Without money as a foundation, no matter how beautiful love is, it will eventually be eclipsed, so if a woman can't have a successful career at the age of 20-30, the days after the age of 40 will be bleak.

I don't seem to have the enthusiasm to make money, maybe I didn't have the concept of money since I was a student. My younger brother and sister have always been fond of earning money since they were young, and sometimes they helped their mother, and their mother would give them a reward of five dimes or one yuan, which was very encouraging to them. When they have money, they buy all kinds of toffee, snacks or toys, and I almost have everything to eat at home. I don't have money in my pocket all year round, and I only ask my mother when I need to pay for tuition and books. In life, I feel like I have almost no need for money.

I don't care about wearing it. My dad buys us new clothes every Chinese New Year, and I exchange one new dress for my sister's two old clothes.

Maybe it's because I didn't feel much about money when I was a student, and after I entered the society, my desire to earn money has never been strong. Maybe it became stronger after I got married, and I think if I had a sense of earning money earlier, I might not be worried about money now......

I have unconsciously wasted many years, although I read this sentence when I was in my early 20s: "If a person can't fix his career at the age of 25, it will be difficult to achieve results in the future." Not to mention anything else, if you stick to the beauty salon, you should have at least 100,000 yuan in your hand now, and 100,000 yuan to buy a treasury bond has an interest of several hundred yuan a month, which is enough for your pocket money.

Financial planners and financial management books have repeatedly emphasized the importance of saving, and when the savings reach a certain amount, they can invest and manage their finances.

September 16th

I calculated, from today to April 15 next year, there are still 210 days, most of the half a year, with a lot of methods to study "Introduction to Literature" and "Chinese Medicine Dispensing", these two books want to wait for everything to be learned and then read, boring and heavy, making people daunting.

There are 1020 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, including Chinese patent medicine, and 4~5 kinds need to be remembered every day, and other contents can be read at ordinary times. There are 328 noun explanations and 177 essay questions in "Introduction to Literature", so you need to memorize a few noun explanations and a few explanatory essay questions every day, and of course other content should be read at ordinary times.

I plan to read 10 pages a day for "Financial Accounting" and 10 pages a day for "Computerized Accounting", so that I can read them in a month. In the future, you must read it repeatedly every month, so that the knowledge is really familiar with the heart, and you are no longer timid, otherwise you will be worthy of the name of graduating from the accounting major. English is taught once a day, because the 96 articles in "New Concept II" are all short essays, so you should memorize one article a day, and go back and forth every three months. The three or four volumes of "New Concepts" are important lessons, write one every day, preview these two lessons every night, and memorize them thoroughly tomorrow morning. (Using Feng Zikai's 23 mnemonics).

Feng Zikai's 23 study methods: Feng Zikai, a famous painter and prose writer.

Feng Zikai studied English, and he could read English novels in a year and engage in translation work. The trick is that he reads each article 23 times, divided into 5 sessions.

One. Read Lesson 1 10 times on Day 1;

Two. On the second day, read Lesson 2 10 times and review Lesson 1 5 times.

Three. On the third day, read Lesson 3 10 times and review Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 5 times each.

Four. On the 4th day, read Lesson 4 10 times, review Lesson 2 and Lesson 3 5 times each, and Lesson 1 twice.

Five. In this way, each text should be read 22 times in four times, and read it again in half a month.

This method of learning follows the law of memorization in psychology and pedagogy, 10 times on the first day, 5 times on the second three days, and the fastest forgetting speed is also the time when he reads the most books. Twice on the fourth day, and again after half a month, can completely suppress forgetting. Turning what you've learned into long-term information and storing it in your head is much better than reading it 23 times a day!

Yang Zijian, author of the article "Memorize a Book from the Beginning to the End", is the dean and professor of the School of Foreign Chinese of Qingdao Ocean University. It reads as follows:

The habit of language is gradually completed by imitation, especially "speaking" and "writing", which should start with imitation. To imitate, it must be memorized or familiarized, otherwise it is impossible to memorize. Memorization is a traditional way for Chinese to learn, and I still think it is very beneficial.

"Raw once, cooked twice, if you want to remember, rely on repetition." There are two kinds of repetition, one is like a snowball, and the other is like a black blind man breaking corn. The former is to learn a lesson and memorize a lesson, memorize it from the beginning every time, and memorize it from the beginning to the end after learning a book. This method is especially effective for beginners, not only will it be easier for you to learn, but it will also benefit you for life. The latter is to learn a lesson and lose a lesson, and after learning a book, you will remember very little, making you feel that a foreign language has become the most difficult subject to learn. Personally, I have learned that it is necessary to force myself to memorize some knowledge in middle school in order to exercise my memory.

Erudition is only achieved by hard work, and stunts are achieved through hard work. This is one of my mottos, and I would like to encourage you with it.

Zheng Banqiao said in "Self-Introduction": "People think that I, Zheng Banqiao, am particularly good at reciting, but they don't know that I am not good at memorizing, but I love to recite." Every time I read a book, I repeat it many times. Whether it's on the boat, on the horse, under the covers, or at dinner, or entertaining guests, I often get distracted and forget what I'm doing, all because I'm silently reciting it. How can there be a reason not to memorize when reading? "A generation of masters is still like this, let alone my generation of mortals.

Super-fast-paced speed-reading memorization: The faster you read, the better, so fast that you can read five or six sentences in one sitting, until you can pour out the purpose of the whole text without thinking. The effect of speed reading and recitation is like a big river rushing and gushing. The content of the article can be blurted out without thinking, so it can be remembered for a long time.

If I write 3,000 words a day, 90,000 words a month, and 180,000 words in two months. A novel is counted as 200,000 words and can be written in two or three months. I saw that the book said that a foreign writer accepted a contract for a 250,000-word book. He only thinks about how to write the next paragraph every day, and he finishes it in a month.

Growing up, my dream of being a writer was never shattered. Sometimes inspiration is like a surging river, but I am too lazy to write, I always want to wait for my studies to be completed, and I always want to wait for my career to be successful before I go all out to write. Many precious flowers of thought withered. In those years, I studied Chinese and memorized a large number of literary theories and poems and ancient texts, just when I was writing with literary brilliance, but I still ran aground with this idea of "wait, wait, wait". Now, I am suffering from the lack of literary material in my mind, and I have forgotten it so much! Including the professional courses I am studying now, I can't go all out, I always feel that I have something to write and emotions to express, but I still put it on hold for the same reason. I can't do this anymore, if I feel like this, whether I am happy or sad or angry, I should write it down immediately, just as a kind of emotional venting, I should be like facing a psychiatrist to tell the story, and don't let the negative emotions control me, otherwise the bad emotions are like dark clouds accumulating in my heart, which makes me uneasy to eat, and my studies are repeatedly interrupted. I thought I should have a few large thick notebooks and write three pages a day in the font I am now writing to complete the novel I wanted to write.

At the moment I want to write "Childhood. In the world. My University" trilogy, this desire I have had since I was in junior high school, and I have been dragging it out until today, I have not yet taken shape, and I have a rough plan to write several books like this: about my ideological journey, about my student career, and about my experience in society......

I now seem to be seeing the effects of the little ones. Last night, I watched "Dreams Become Reality", and one of them wrote about the effect of squeezing out an hour a day to do what he liked: There was a textile giant who wanted to learn oil painting after his career was successful, so he got up an hour early every day to paint oil painting until breakfast. A few years later, he held an exhibition of his paintings, and many of his works were bought at high prices. He used the money he earned from the sale of his paintings to set up a scholarship. You see, investing just one hour a day pays off.

I also saw an article saying that a 101-year-old man began to learn to paint in his 80s, and by the age of 101, he had held an art exhibition, and became famous, and many paintings were bought at a high price and collected by museums. People are so old to learn the same specialty and still learn something, why do they have low self-esteem and despair, and they are vain?

Isn't my mental state much better if I insist on exercising every morning during this period of time? At least drove away the dark clouds of the heart that were going to hit early in the morning, and then the face was dressed, and the skin felt smoother, as well as the brush and pen words that were practiced when the face was dressed, and the poems that were memorized, when I did this, my mood tended to be flat, my energy became concentrated, and there was no distraction. I feel that the more I write, the better it looks, and the pen is too. I practice typing for hours every day, and I feel that my speed is getting faster and faster, and I hope to reach a speed of 100 words per minute in a year. In fact, I don't have to make money for almost a year, so why don't I take a good look at "Guwen Guan Zhi"? Ba Jin once said that he knew the book by heart. His articles are literary and have a lot to do with it.

One day I was reading a book in Xinhua Bookstore, and there was a book about how to write a good article, and the teacher said that if there are many good ancient poems in your mind, you should write like a god. I also want to take a closer look at Eileen Chang's work, ponder her writing skills, and imitate her writing style; I also want to take a closer look at "Dream of Red Mansions", China's most famous classic, I have never seen it carefully.

If you have a tight time every day, you may be able to finish what you want to do, but unfortunately your current learning attitude is too slow, you always want to go out to the bookstore or surf the Internet during the day, and you are always sleepy at night, and you can't insist on studying all night.

I plan to arrange my English learning as follows: 2 new concepts per day, 3 new concepts, and 4 new concepts every day, and I am required to be able to memorize a book from beginning to end. Slow learning in English classes is related to the lack of vocabulary. If you memorize 15 words a day, it will be 450 words a month and 5,400 words a year, ah, the power is not small! I used to memorize 1,200 words a day, so let's keep 15 words in a diary. Collect the words after the new 2, 3, new 4 class into a small notebook, and memorize them when you have time.

I went to bed at 12 o'clock last night, but I didn't learn much, but I just roughly memorized a lesson of English. I thought I had to get up early this morning, I got up early this morning, and when I looked at the watch at 6:30 after doing the exercises, I should wake up at 5:30, and I simply got up because I couldn't sleep. I wanted to change my previous strategy, I didn't put on my face, practiced calligraphy, memorized poetry, and memorized one article in English first.

Before dawn, I turned on the lamp, the more sleepy I became, and insisted on finishing the memorization and writing, I was already sleepy, so I simply lifted the quilt and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was 10:30. After applying noodles and practicing calligraphy, it was already more than 11 o'clock, and I went down to eat. Ate a big bowl of sweet potato gnocchi. Soon after eating, my dad came back, and he brought back a jar of noodles from my mother, and I ate another bowl of noodles. Alas, when will my big stomach become small! When I went upstairs and carried "Tasha Xing", I was sleepy and sleepy, and I woke up at more than 3 o'clock. How did this time pass so quickly!

In the evening, my little niece came up and called me to eat, and I ate a bowl of thin rice soup and a steamed bun. Shouting to lose weight every day, how can you lose weight by eating like this? After eating, I went upstairs and wrote these things until now at 22:45. I have added some tasks to myself, if I don't hurry up during the day, how can I complete the study plan? Since you can't get up in the morning, sit more in the evening.

Thursday, September 17th

It was a sunny day in the morning, it was 7:30 a.m., it was more than 10 o'clock after morning exercise, and I washed the clothes when I went down to eat, and I washed the little padded jacket and small cotton pants and a few diapers that my little niece wore when she was a child. I had been soaking for three or four days, because the sisters said that the clothes washed with 84 disinfectant had poisonous gases, which was very bad for babies and young children, so I decided to wash them again. After washing, I washed the pillow towels, sheets and other things that I use now, and the ropes in the yard are full of clothes. Thinking that the clothes would dry the diapers when they were dry, I soaked the diapers in water and poured some Liby liquid laundry soap. The 84 smell on the diaper is particularly strong, and I am going to soak it for three or four days. I was going to dry the bedding again next month, but now I have decided to dry it when the weather is good, so that I can finish something early and feel less burdened.

After washing, it was already more than 12 o'clock, and the sleepiness came, so I simply went to sleep. I slept for about half an hour when I heard my dad calling me. He brought back a bag of steamed noodles, and after eating, I fell asleep again, but I couldn't sleep, so I simply got up and typed for an hour. Toothache, maybe the anger is too big, I really want to buy a bag of blue roots, and I also want to go to my mother, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything if I don't go for two days. The rain was pouring down, and it was getting heavier and heavier, so I had to put my clothes away and go inside. Thinking that the silk pillow towel had been washed and it was time to wash his hair, he boiled water to wash his hair.

I wrapped the futon and prepared to send it to my mother, but the rain was still dripping, and my father hadn't left yet. I was too embarrassed to go, so I went upstairs again, and when I heard the sound of my father's motorcycle going out, I took out the umbrella. I rode straight to the stationery store at the station, and bought two large thick books, as thick as the new concept, and I counted 104 pages, with a cute little cloth bear on the cover. Each book costs 8 yuan, and I also bought a small notebook.

Those two big books are very affordable, I really want to buy a few more, but unfortunately I don't have much money in my pocket, I just bought the fire king granules, banlangen granules, erythromycin ointment in Shenglong Pharmacy. On the way back, I bought bananas and apples. I ate a few steamed buns at my mother's shop, and when I left, my mother asked me to take the milk back and drink it hot. When I got home, the black and yellow dog barked desperately, and his voice was so sharp that it was about to puncture its eardrums, and it thought that I was going to throw something for it to eat again, so I angrily picked up my things and went upstairs.

Warm up the milk, and I'll eat it. I finished eating the bananas and ate a few small apples, only to eat until my stomach was so bloated, when can I only have one meal a day like Xu Ruoxuan, mainly fruits and vegetables, in that case, I also have a sense of pride.

My desk is a small square table, the table is low, the chair is also low, I feel uncomfortable sitting for a long time, the fetus is always moving, maybe she also feels uncomfortable. When I pulled the lamp, it suddenly went out, and my eyelids were heavy, so I just went to sleep. When I came back, I called my sister and said that I was going to the park tomorrow morning to memorize English (because my sister dances in the park every morning, so I want to go too, but she dances and I endorse), so go to bed early. I slept until midnight but couldn't sleep, my legs and feet seemed to be still, in short, it was very uncomfortable, but I couldn't say what it tasted like, and my teeth hurt. Then I got up and found that the lamp was broken, the bulb was at most a small bulb of 15 watts, its glass body and the lamp head only a thin wire connected, I threw it away, and replaced it with an energy-saving bulb of about 8 watts bought in Beijing, which is a bulb composed of two U-shaped tubes, about 5 yuan when I bought it.

Look at the watch is only more than 1:50, not yet 2 o'clock in the morning, usually I sometimes sleep at this time, I am now in the third trimester, sleep if you are sleepy, get up if you are not sleepy. Thinking about what I told my sister that it was a bit impossible to go to the park to read a book, I was now having difficulty moving, and I couldn't read aloud with high emotions for a long time, and I couldn't stay in one posture for a long time. I'm alone on the 3rd floor now, no one is bothering, it's a good time to study, why not hurry up?

I remember that when I graduated from high school, I often rode my bicycle on the road in a daze, walking through the light wind and rain of nothingness, as if looking for a shadow, even if I met it occasionally, the shadow disappeared suddenly, as if I couldn't avoid it. I have added new wounds to my fragile heart, but I can't seem to control it, and my inferiority complex completely controls me. I love to learn, but I don't want to touch the textbook, because I don't think I can learn well, isn't it different from my current psychology? How can we comfort ourselves? Only "only ask about the hard work, don't count the harvest", after a certain stage of hard work, the harvest will naturally come, too concerned about the result, and the result seems to be too long, as if you can't wait for that day.

Why do you always want to run down the street? If you don't have a good image like you are now, you still have to run out? Is it because the room is so quiet that the eye touches the tedium of the four white walls? Is the sky outside the house high and the clouds light, and the cool breeze makes the heart more open-minded and the spirit more vibrant? Instead of running out and doing nothing, it's better to hold a novel and read it. You can finish reading a novel in one day, and you can make some money; You can also wait in the house to copy famous sayings and sentences to enrich the style; You can record your confused emotions, and you can use it as a practice pen; It can even be better to sleep with your head covered than to wander around the streets; You can go to Xinhua Bookstore to hang out, look at the books you want to read, or you can scribble with a brush, in short, you have to find a way to put an end to this bad problem.

In the past few months, I want to go to an Internet café whenever I have time, and I really want to get a network card, but I still need a thousand yuan, and the cheap one also costs 600 yuan. One year many years ago, I could save 1,000 yuan a month when I opened a store, and many people didn't have a thousand yuan to go to work at that time. I don't cherish my wealth when I have it, and I don't have any financial mind. At that time, the boss asked me to take more than 2,000 yuan to sell the store, but I refused, I should take the store down, even if I don't do it, I can rent it to others and have some income every month. It was a 10-year-old store with certain intangible assets, but unfortunately I didn't do it anymore. Later, I picked up a shop in Shuinan, and the business was average, but I could also rent it out, and there was a good stall outside the door, so I could put some goods to sell. To this day, there are still so many vendors there, and they are not doing well on the streets?

I got tired of hairdressing after working for a long time, and subconsciously felt that this kind of work was not good to say, but I found a job that I wanted, and I was annoyed by the complexity of human feelings. Seeing other people's haircuts moisturizing, I feel envious in my heart. Several barber shops near my mother's shop are more than 10 years old, and the owners are still young and beautiful, and they have both work and family, and their children are doing their homework in the store, earning money, and tutoring children.

I have never wanted to work for others, I feel that I am controlled by others, and I have to be angry with some snobs, so I learned beauty salons by myself and wanted to open my own shop and be the boss. The store is open, and the income is much stronger than that of a part-time job, but I still want to learn this and that, and I still want to go far away......

She once worked in a barber shop in a small area of Beijing, and the female shopkeeper had been working for more than ten years, and her husband bought a taxi to run a taxi and opened a barber shop in the provincial capital of her hometown, all of which she paid for. Her family eats and lives in the store, the child opened the store when he was one or two years old, and now he is eleven or twelve years old, she herself still wears braids, and her complexion is fair and ruddy like a girl, which is enviable. Her eldest sister-in-law also runs a barber shop, and she once said to me: Haircuts raise people, and the wind does not blow the rain or the sun. In addition, barbering is a job engaged in beauty, and barbers care more about dressing up than ordinary people, and it is more praised and envied by customers. I left this industry before I felt its preciousness, but I felt annoyed after doing it, like what is my image now? I felt good about myself when I opened the store, but now I feel like a depressed old lady.

I've always wanted to do a job where I can earn money sitting at home, but why not open a barber shop? If you can really work with others for a year, I believe you should accumulate a lot of management and technical experience. I worked alone at the beginning, which was a big flaw, I didn't even know how to charge at that time, I often didn't make any money for a hard day, and the asking price for acquaintances, neighbors, and old customers was too low, or even not, and I didn't know how to do business! In terms of haircuts, I actually put a lot of effort into it, and I copied a lot of notebooks alone. At that time, I went to Xi'an twice to study, and I spent thousands of yuan, and I gave up so easily, which was a big failure. Alas, I don't value the fruits of my labor too much!

I also want to train my body shape well, keep it at about 90 pounds, and I also want to keep ten years of long straight black hair and ten years of yellow curly hair, in order to meet the shortcomings of not having long hair in my life. Long hair can give people a beautiful imagination, and at most I have medium and long hair, which is just shoulder-length. Sometimes when I look at a woman with long hair fluttering, I feel envious in my heart. Engaging in this profession by yourself, pay attention to dressing up, even if you are old, people will feel normal, otherwise they will be ridiculed as stinky and beautiful. Xiaomei also said that when a woman is older, her face should be clean. Actually, my makeup has always been very light, and my lipstick is a light color similar to lip gloss, but my eyebrows are drawn. His eyebrows are thin and not long, and he doesn't look too good.

Rich women pay attention to their grooming and are willing to spend a lot of money to invest in it, but they generally have to turn to hairdressers and beauticians. I learned the whole course of beauty salon at the beginning, but the shop I opened was too simple and there was almost no decoration. If you find a decent store at the beginning and keep doing it yourself, your life should always be more nourishing. The reason for the unsuccess is also that I lack the experience of working part-time and do not know how to operate.

I also left a lot of regrets in this industry: in a big store in the south, the boss specially asked someone to teach us these assistants to perm their hair, but I felt that there was no salary, and I left soon after, so far women's hair is my weakness, and now haircuts mainly rely on women's hair to make money. In the "Hongyun Hair House" in Beijing, if you are down-to-earth with the owner for a year and a half, your technical level and business level will be greatly improved. In Qingqingyuan in Beijing, the boss trusted me and promised to give me a guarantee, but I thought that the income was low for a long time, so I went to the shoe city after a month. To this day, I still get a low salary, doing a job with little technical content and complicated interpersonal relationships.

I marked the newly bought large thick book with page numbers (104 pages), and on page 2 I copied an article on the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation in the newspaper, my purpose was to count how many words there were on a page, and copied one page and eight lines, 27 lines per page, a total of seven or eight hundred words. A full page should have a thousand words, and I intend to use it to write a novel. Tonight, I plan to use a small notebook to transcribe the poems I have memorized every day, and I will have time to read them, so as not to memorize them.

Flipping through the book of practicing pen writing every day, I saw the excerpted text about Zhang Yueran.

Zhang Yueran, the most talented female writer born in the 80s, was admitted to the double degree program of English and law at Shandong University in 2001, and is now studying computer science at the National University of Singapore. He won the second prize in the Singapore College Literature Award and the second prize in the National New Artist Literature Competition. His representative works "Sunflower Lost in 1890", "Cherry Far Away", "The Equator Cuts the Face of the City", etc., have caused great repercussions among readers.

Behold, they are young, and their articles are so well written, and they have published many books. I've seen her "Sunflower Lost in 1890", and it's really brilliant. She has studied English, law, and computer science, and her knowledge is extensive, so how can she have so much energy and ability? Undoubtedly, she must be a very confident woman, and confident people can often develop in many ways. Studying so many things without delaying her literary creation, I am ashamed of myself, I learned English and reviewed the professional courses I had learned, I felt that I had no time to write, and I was annoyed about it every day!

There are also some written records as follows, which are forgotten when you save time: fungus plus red dates and brown sugar is a good blood tonic.

Soaking your feet in hot water every day is one of the methods of longevity for Rugao people. Pregnant women often soak their feet, not even the spots are long, it is best to add some ginger and a little salt. Don't drink more water in the first week of confinement, don't eat more salt, to prevent water retention is not conducive to weight loss, and it is not good to lose weight in the future if you don't pay attention.

This diary, I now write whatever I remember, and before I know it, half of this book has been written. The problem I need to solve urgently now is the problem of fire, the gums are inflamed and smelly; There are also constipation problems, weight loss problems, and eating problems.

Since I write what I remember, I record my weight loss in one day in this diary, that is, the problem of eating. Tomorrow I will eat at most a small bowl of sweet potatoes and nothing else. Let the dogs have a full meal of sweet potato rice, throw buns to them, they are too lazy to care, but they also have a soft spot for sweet potatoes, no wonder there is "panic like dogs eating sweet potato skins", it seems that dogs like to eat sweet potatoes is justified.

In this way, there are four or five pages, 500 words per page, and almost four or five thousand words are written, which would be good if I were writing a novel.
