Chapter 26 of the Year of Tranquility

Thursday, September 10 Cloudy and sunny

Today is Teacher's Day.

Wake up in the morning, exercise, study, and go downstairs to eat around ten o'clock. After eating, I wanted to go to my mother's store, so I found the clothes my sister asked for and rode to my mother.

After I went to read the newspaper for a while, I rode to Xinhua Bookstore, mainly browsing books on financial management and inspiration.

There is a book that says that a scholar studied 18 hours a day when he was in college, and using this concentrated learning method, he completed his doctoral studies in only 20 months. I used to study without sleep or food, but now, I was a little afraid of such suffering and I didn't feel it at the time.

I was going to finish ten short essays in English tonight without sleeping. But when you come back and type for a while, sleepiness will hit. Thinking about my many years of work and rest habits, it would be a painful thing for the biological clock to be reluctantly broken, so why break this habit? It is better to hurry up during the day, the key is to be strict with yourself.

At six o'clock in the evening, I went back to my mother's store from Xinhua Bookstore, ate two steamed buns, drank a bottle of milk, and ate a lot, how could I lose weight?

In the morning, I went to the "Li Yang Clinic" in Linzhuang to do a B ultrasound. Ultrasound showed that the fetus had a slightly larger head, like eight and a half months, and the leg length was eight months. If I hadn't said that two days is the day when the fetus is 8 months old, she would still say that I am eight and a half months old, and it seems that the ultrasound is still not completely accurate. I asked the female doctor if she could give birth smoothly, and she said that she could only give birth on a try, and if she couldn't, she would have to go to a major hospital for a caesarean section. I'm a little depressed, I don't want to have a C-section!

When I got home in the evening, I washed my face and soaked my feet after typing, and copied the Bible prayers with a brush, preparing to give them to my father tomorrow so that he could pray according to them.

Sleepiness is coming, so let's get up early tomorrow.

Friday, September 11 Sunny

I got up late in the morning, and I heard the sound of selling tofu brains, which should have appeared at six or seven o'clock, but I wanted to stay out of bed. I didn't get up until dawn, and it was nearly 9 o'clock after I finished the exercise, and I went down to eat, but I didn't write calligraphy and poems. I wanted to finish the 67 lessons, but I didn't, and I still read English in the morning. Noon came quickly, and my eyelids sank, so I went to sleep, from 12:50 to 15:29. I usually feel that practicing calligraphy and memorizing poems in the morning delays the time to read English, but today I wanted to change it, but I didn't finish it, and I felt like something was missing. After all, it is a kind of basic practice, which cannot be interrupted, and it is enough to seize the time during the day. I still insist on exercising, calligraphy, and memorizing poems in the morning, so that it can become a habit and a spiritual enjoyment. The prayer I copied for my dad in the past two days is okay, which is also the effect of practicing calligraphy in the morning during this period of time, as long as you do it, it will have an effect.

In the evening, I previewed the 68 and 69 lessons and copied them in my notebook, and then I previewed the two short essays in the evening and memorized the two short essays in the morning. In the afternoon, I plan to read 6 pages of "Financial Accounting", 3 pages of "Computerized Accounting", and memorize "Chinese Medicine Adjustment" for half an hour. These are my specialties, and I should master them thoroughly, and use this regular and quantitative method.

In the evening, it was sesame leaf mung bean noodles, and my mother came back and bought me 4 old-fashioned breads. I drank a bowl of noodles and beat a bottle of milk with two eggs, ate two breads, and saw how much I could eat! Upstairs at night, I actually drank chrysanthemum essence tea, which was forbidden at night, and I ate and drank a lot at night! I'm too indulgent when it comes to eating!

It's 1:25 p.m., and I'm not sleepy. Tomorrow morning, I will wake up early and try to memorize two short English essays in the morning.

Saturday, September 12 Sunny

Today is the day when the fetus turns 8 months old.

In the morning, I memorized an English text, and I went to my mother.

In the afternoon, I went to Shenglong Supermarket to read a book, and went back to my mother's store at five or six o'clock. I cooked millet porridge, bought some big pot dishes, and after eating, I went to a clinic in Wangzhuang with my mother to ask me if I could have a good life when I arrived. The attending doctor there used to be a gynaecologist in a big hospital, and she was able to see gynecological diseases, perform abortion surgeries, take the ring, and deliver babies. She rented a building on the village to make a clinic, the first floor is the outpatient room, the second floor is the B-ultrasound room, the operating room.

When I got there, the door was locked, there was no light, and it was only past 8 o'clock in the evening. My mother said: "This is not good, if you don't feel well in the middle of the night, you can't open the door when you come, or go to a big hospital to ensure it." ”

After I came back, I slept in my mother's shop, but I still felt pain in my lower abdomen when I got up, and it was difficult to turn over.

Sunday, September 13 Sunny

After getting up in the morning, I wash my hair and eat, and then I mop the floor, shine my shoes, and shine my shoes, and I don't go home until 10 o'clock.

After reading the book "Maternal Health Care" for a while, I felt sleepy, so I took a nap and woke up at 15 o'clock. Continuing to read the book, thinking about my English, I felt that I didn't want to memorize one by one, and I imagined analyzing English texts like analyzing math problems. I really wanted to buy "Pinocchio", Lin Huiyin started from this book to teach her daughter to learn English, and after learning a book, she basically mastered English. I remember the last time I saw "Madame Bovary", the author Flaubert was a master of language in the literary world, and I was also very interested in this work, so I thought I could read "Pinocchio" and "Madame Bovary" after reading all the new concepts.

Thinking that I can't walk now and my right leg hurts, I don't want to ride to my mom anymore. In the last month or so, I had to control my diet, and I could only eat some vegetables at night, and I couldn't eat pasta anymore. So I thought of buying a small mill oil and sesame paste and ginger (to soak my feet and take a bath). It was cold these days, and I didn't take a shower again, but just wiped my body and soaked my feet with ginger water at night. A woman should be as pure as water, and her body should be fragrant. When the weather is cold, I can soak ginger slices in boiling water every day, and I can just wipe my body. Ginger is also fragrant, isn't there ginger in Dabao? So I rode to the market again.

I went to Xinhua Bookstore first and saw that "Pinocchio" cost 20 yuan, and a CD was attached to the book, but I saw that the empty bag containing the CD was attached to the last page, and the cover was also damaged. This is a pure children's book, and I would like to read a more advanced English book. Looking at "Madame Bovary", the cover is also a little old, and the price is more than 500 yuan, which may be the total price of a set of books, but the price of a single book cannot be seen. Forget it, buy it at a foreign bookstore in the future, and you can still get a discount. "New Concept 4" is 19.5 yuan, and you can buy it at the foreign bookstore at the station at 6% off. I took a fancy to a book called "Love Is So Beautiful", 12 yuan, a selection of famous works in English and Chinese, so I bought it, and then bought a small bottle of small grinding oil in the vegetable market, 7.5 yuan, a bottle of sesame paste, 7 yuan a bottle, and a piece of ginger, 1.2 yuan.

When I got home, I told my dad not to cook my food at night, I was going to lose weight, and I couldn't eat dinner anymore in order to have a good life in a month.

After going upstairs, I read a book for a while, and when I saw that it was getting late, I took a ginger water bath, and then found the clothes to be washed, and washed the sneakers and slippers I had worn in the past two days, as well as a few pairs of pants and coats. I will soak the diaper tomorrow, because I use too much 84 disinfectant, and I am afraid that I will damage the skin of the newborn when I use it in the future. After washing the clothes and soaking the feet, after soaking the feet, I read "Maternal Health" and "This Is How English is Made". In the book, there is how Li Baichong learned English, which is quite similar to the method I want to use to learn English. Here's an excerpt:

Mr. Li Baichong, the editor-in-chief of College English and a famous professor at Tsinghua University, was not interested in foreign languages in middle school, so much so that he failed the final English exam in his second year of high school.

In order to catch up, he used his winter break for 4 weeks to read two books of literature that were not too difficult. The first is an abbreviated version with a Chinese comparison; The second is the original, but with annotations. The two books add up to less than 100 pages. Through a holiday study, he not only passed the English make-up exam, but also understood several other subjects, including the English textbooks used in Western history.

In the year and a half before graduating from high school, he read nearly 1,000 pages of English books, most of which were textbooks for various subjects, and there were also original literary works that he had selected outside of class. A lot of reading made him very interested in English, and his grades improved rapidly. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the English Department of the University. During his university years and after his work, he learned eight more foreign languages. From failing a foreign language to becoming a well-known scholar, Professor Lee's trick is to read a lot.

Professor Li does not read books on the fly, but strives to understand them word by word, and looks up the dictionary if he does not understand. Not only do you have to check the words you don't know, but you also need to turn to the dictionary if you don't know the meaning of the word, or if the word form has changed, or the pronunciation is not clear. Every time he learns a foreign language, he insists on completing a textbook with grammar and memorizing a few hundred words and then begins to read. Although it is a relatively simple reading, it is not uncommon for twenty or thirty new words to appear on a page. Although this is hard, because first, he has been attracted by the content of the book and is willing to look up the dictionary to do it; Second, I feel that overcoming difficulties is also a kind of fun; Third, I am familiar with the alphabet, and it takes less than 20 seconds on average to look up a word, and it takes less than 10 minutes to look up twenty or thirty words, so I can stick to it. In order to grasp the content exactly, he reads a passage with a lot of words and then reads it again, which not only deepens his understanding of the content, but also reviews the grammar and vocabulary.

When he reads, he pays attention to understanding the content. He doesn't memorize words, and he doesn't do so-called vocabulary consolidation exercises. His vocabulary is reinforced only by natural repetition in the text, and the more he reads, the more words he remembers. Of course, some words take several times to memorize, but it's still cost-effective to spend a lot of time memorizing them and then forgetting them. He also doesn't memorize words in class, so he usually doesn't score well in word tests. However, because his vocabulary is naturally accumulated in reading, he can cope with it when he tests words later. Time was short, and he, a person who didn't remember words, had a much more vocabulary than his classmates who memorized words. "Read carefully and a lot," this is Professor Li's "trick" to learn English and other foreign Chinese well, and students should get rid of the shackles of "emphasizing grammar and vocabulary and ignoring reading" as soon as possible, and bravely get involved in English reading books and even English original works.

Sunday, September 14th

In the morning, I heard the sound of my father closing the door and starting the old motorcycle, about six o'clock. I didn't think about it, so I went on and fell again, and when I finally decided to get up, it was still dark, and there were a few drops of rain last night, so I was so frightened that I hurriedly put my clothes into the house.

After finishing the exercise, it was already more than 9 o'clock, after practicing the brush and pen words, and after memorizing the poem "Magnolia", I went down to eat. There was still a lot of rice in the pot, the sweet potatoes were thick, and there were small oil rolls in the steamer, and my appetite was aroused, but I didn't actually feel hungry. Thinking that it was more than nine o'clock, the little yellow dog "Pull Strip" couldn't wait to knock on my door, asking me to go down to eat, and let it eat by the way, this puppy is particularly concerned about eating.

I ate half a small oil roll and a big bowl full of sweet potato gnocchi. After eating, I felt that my stomach was very bloated, but I thought of the delicious sweet potatoes, and there were probably delicious meat dishes left over from my brother's restaurant in the basin, so I couldn't help but eat more than half a bowl, and then took a small oil roll upstairs. I bought sesame paste yesterday, so I want to try the taste of sesame sauce today. The meal I ate this morning is equivalent to what I eat in a day, and I am too indulgent in eating. I can only eat one bowl from tomorrow, I want to use a small rice pot to serve, go upstairs to eat, I can't finish eating at night, save the trouble of soaking fungus. Losing weight is a very strong willpower thing.

Daylight hours are long, but they are short, because they are very easy to rub by. Throughout so many days, from ten lessons a day to one lesson a day, the daytime slipped by quickly. In fact, during the day, people's thoughts are more likely to flow with the wind like white clouds in the sky, and they are changeable. During the day, I was always unable to settle down to study, and I always wanted to go out on a whim, but at night and night constrained your feet, so that you had to give up if you wanted to go out, and had to sit honestly at the desk, which was more efficient, no wonder Balzac set the time for writing in the evening, no wonder he became a prolific writer. If I'm also used to the evenings, I'll be able to win a lot of time too. There is a contemporary writer who even gets up at one or two o'clock in the morning every day to write, and he has written a lot. If I can get used to working hard at night, I think I will learn my major better, I will read a lot of literature books, and I will write a lot of articles, so that I will no longer have boring thoughts and actions, and I will not regret wasting my time. If that's the case, I'd rather be the last half of my birthday with a lonely shadow of the blue lantern.

Yesterday I went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy "Love Is So Beautiful" and asked the cashier if there were two old English books on sale? She said that at most 9% off, she asked me for ten. Take a look and say that there may be a discount at that time. I would love to buy that copy of Pinocchio and Madame Bovary. There is still half a month to ten. One, I want to finish "New Concept" in this half a month. Gu Hongming, a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, memorized an average of one book a week when he learned English, and memorized 37 of Shakespeare's masterpieces in a year. I'll just read one English book a week, and I'll have to look it up in the dictionary, of course. I'm also tempted to buy Shakespeare's Hamlet and Macbeth, especially Hamlet, because some of his words are also on my mind.

It was two or three o'clock after I finished typing this afternoon, and I didn't get up until about 5:20 a.m., making a cup of green tea and red dates, trying to get my nerves excited. I plan not to sleep tonight until 6:30~7:00 in the morning, I can put the rice in a small rice cooker, sleep until 1 o'clock and then get up to eat hot, and wait for five or six o'clock to eat again. I'm hoping to read 20 short essays in English tonight, and I'll see the rest tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow's task is more than 20 short essays, and I don't know if I can complete it. Because my current state of study is like my little niece, I like to grind.

It's past twelve o'clock in the evening, and I haven't finished my task for today, so if I keep reading, it's okay, but my mind is wandering and thinking about a lot of questions......

Recalling my own experience of growing up, I was always bullied, although I was stubborn by nature, but I also suffered a lot of anger. Who calls himself not to be angry? Who calls himself to be in the company of those men? Why don't they deceive you, it's not negotiable. If I work hard and far exceed these people, these people will not be able to deceive me. If you study well since elementary school, you will not be despised by some classmates.

When I was in the fifth grade, I transferred to a so-called key elementary school, and I didn't know that the homeroom teacher was naturally slanted, and when she called me by name, I looked back and forth, causing the other teachers in the office to snicker. From then on, she deliberately hit me, and I was depressed, and I fell from the first place in my studies to the middle of the grade. That hateful homeroom teacher's attitude towards me hit me hard, but if I have been studying well, what will she do to me?

When I was in junior high school, I treated her very badly, I was good to her, I defended her everywhere, but she targeted me everywhere, and if I studied well, I didn't care about her at all. When I was in high school, my table mate dared to slander me, who told me to be in the same class as her? If I get to the point of one or two, where can I associate with someone like her? If I graduate from high school and get into a good school and dedicate myself to my studies, how can I be bullied by those colleagues? Who told me to be a colleague with them and to be incompatible with them?

If I were very powerful, where would there be so many calamities? It's all because I'm weak. If the strong are in the company of those villains? Why am I so weak? Because I have a deep inferiority complex in my heart. I didn't believe I could succeed, I gave up easily, I only had one bachelor's degree in Chinese but gave up, my accounting major also gave up, my writing preferences also gave up, I invested a lot of time and energy, money to learn beauty salons also gave up.

If I had cultivated one or two specialties from a young age, I might not feel so useless. When I was a student, I felt inferior to my math mistakes, and I thought it would always be like this. Living in this world where the winner is king, as a weak person is miserable......

Looking back, I have been focusing on English for the past few months, but it has not been very effective. Li Yang said that if I can memorize a few English books in my life, I will become an English expert, and if I can also memorize a few English books, I think I may also be an English teacher and translator. My memory is not bad, even superhuman, why can't I memorize a text in a day? Or is the willpower too poor. Willpower is actually the ability to overcome one's own inertia and bad problems, that is, to insist on oneself and not give up easily. I have always been evasive, and dodging still can't change my weak and bullying fate. Mom seems to be weak, but she is very strong in her heart, her most valuable quality is strong willpower, that is, strong persistence, so she has done a humble profession to this point, so our family enjoys her grace, and I still bear her grace.

When I was a teenager, I was always obsessed with fantasies and didn't pay attention to reality, and I always fantasized about how I would succeed in the future, rather than facing my downcast self in reality. The tragedies and sufferings in my life are all caused by my lack of knowing how to face reality and not working hard when I was a teenager. I'm a big man, and I really want to make a difference in writing, but I always feel that I haven't finished my major courses, and I always want to wait for everything to be done before I go all out to write. I really want to write a book about my experience now, but I feel that there are still many books to read, mainly in professional courses.

In fact, I can memorize a short essay and a long essay every day, and use Feng Zikai's 23 times of calligraphy to master it thoroughly, so that the pressure is not great, and I can master it thoroughly. After this is completed, you can watch cultural courses such as "Financial Accounting", "Accounting Computerization", and "Chinese Medicine Dispensing".
