Chapter 30 Academic Debate
When Ximen Iron Hammer was ten years old, a drought occurred in the area of Banyue Village that summer, and the water of the Qingxi River became like a ditch. In previous years, the high-lying fields near the foot of Mt. Higashiyama, where rice could be planted, dried up and cracked an inch in size, and in summer they could only be temporarily barren because the crops could not be grown. The children were running in the dry fields, and in the summer when it was hot, they broke some branches from the mountains, pulled some grass, and built a few sheds. Playing cards, playing chess, and sleeping in the shed, the breeze blows outside the shed from time to time, which is comfortable and comfortable, and the friends feel very happy. Before I knew it, when the sun went down, the friends returned home together. Everyone will come here again tomorrow, it is only 1,500 meters away from the village, very close. Throughout the summer, everyone comes to the foot of Dongshan Mountain to play at four o'clock in the afternoon, after putting the cattle on the mountain to graze, everyone goes up the mountain to pick summer wild fruits to eat, such as hawthorn and chestnut, to the field to pull the soybean pods that are ripe and put them on the fire to roast and eat, and when thirsty, they go to a clear spring at the foot of the mountain to drink water.
In the grass shed with branches and grass that he simply built by himself, while eating roasted soybeans, hawthorns, and chestnuts, while playing cards and chatting, everyone felt that life was delicious. Ximen smiled and was a very sunny and cheerful boy, he looked up at the hot sun, and said to Simon Iron Hammer and others: "Do you know that there are immortals in the sky? There are Monkey King in the sky, there are Buddhas, there are Jade Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva, as well as King Tota Li and the third prince of Nezha. Ximen Iron Hammer said: "Will the immortals come down and come to our village?" Ximen Lan said: "No one has ever seen immortals. My mother said that there are no gods in the world. Simon smiled and said, "Lanzi, since there are no immortals and bodhisattvas, why does your family worship their ancestors and worship the bodhisattvas every year during the New Year's Festival? No one can be sure that there are no immortals." ”
Ximen Xuejie said: "Once I asked Mr. Yuan if there are any gods in the sky, whether there are ghosts or monsters. He replied, "Believe yes, and unbelieve not." I think he is prevaricating me by saying this. He is the most knowledgeable in our village, and he can't be sure if there are immortals?"
Ximenlan said with a smile: "Brother Iron Hammer, if a fairy comes down, you will fight him with a hammer, do you dare?"
Simon replied earnestly, "If I were sick, I would really fight with the gods! ”
After saying that, he grimaced at Ximenlan, and Ximenlan sneered: "Actually, there are really no immortals in the world, you just want to fight immortals, but you can't beat them!"
Happiness shortens time, and suffering lengthens years. In a blink of an eye, Simon Hammer and his friends had another happy summer, and the time for the private school to start was here.
In the new semester, Simon Hammer was promoted to a new level to learn new languages and arithmetic.
Mr. Yuen is very open-minded in his teaching methods and encourages students to debate freely. Mr. Yuan said: "Iron Hammer, you tell everyone, how can you learn the skills?" Ximen Iron Hammer stood up from his seat and said, "Listen to Mr. Yuan." Because Mr. Yuan is a teacher, and we are all children, we know much more than us. The ability to learn requires a good teacher, but the main thing is the talent of the student. Why is the same gentleman teaching, some students have excellent grades, while others basically can't learn. ”
After Ximen Hammer finished speaking, he saw Ximenlan stand up and say, "The words behind the hammer are not right. The main thing to learn skills is diligence, not talent. If it has been said that forgetting is talent, but who of us has ever seen someone who never forgets? The reason why everyone says that there are such people is actually spreading falsehood. Everything that is a legend is not very credible. Maybe a legend is a gossip made up by a certain bastard who is bored, and then it is spread by a few boring villains such as Wang Jiu Dan and Wang Shi Dan, and then more people listen to it, and more people pass it on, so this gossip becomes the so-called legend. So people often do it like this - how the legend is, how the legend is. Therefore, I conclude that the so-called genius is also a ridiculous legend, and the initiator may be some bastard!"
Ximen Erwu said in a strange voice with bad intentions: "The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, but in fact, the two of you father-in-law and mother-in-law are not reasonable!" Mr. Yuan said angrily: "Ximen Er, you give me a little more serious." It's a class, it's an academic debate. What kind of clever are you playing? What are you insinuating and insinuating?" Ximen Hammer and Ximen Lan both glared at Ximen Erwu fiercely, and both of them gritted their teeth, eager to beat Ximen Erwu all over the ground to find their teeth. Ximen Erkou sat on the seat with his head held high and fearless, with a look of "I'm just a metaphor" and a look of "I'm a second goods, who am I afraid of".
After several other disciples finished speaking, Mr. Yuan concluded: "Except for Ximen Erhuo, everyone has been very serious in this academic debate, and everyone has made wonderful speeches, and I am very happy for you. Now I would like to share my thoughts for you to think about, and I hope you can find them inspired. There are geniuses, and the legends in history are not all groundless, and some legends have been verified by historians and are basically true. Generally speaking, geniuses are very few, and I personally estimate that there is about one in five million. For most people, IQs are about the same, so to learn the skills, you have to rely on the diligence that Simon Lan said. Remember, if you are not a genius, then genius has nothing to do with you. You are an ordinary person, so you have to practice your skills diligently and study hard. ”
It is precisely because Mr. Yuan often organizes students to conduct academic debates, so Ximen Hammer's personality and thoughts are not imprisoned, and the students have an independent spirit, can think freely, and their personalities have been well developed. Mr. Yuen not only cares about students in their studies, but also in their daily lives.
One day when Simon Hammer was twelve years old, after reading it in the morning, Simon Hammer felt a wave of nausea in his throat, vomited, and had a terrible headache, and he barely managed to hold on until the end of class. The classmates went home one after another, and he slept alone on his desk. Mr. Yuan saw him and asked him what was wrong. He said he was sick. Severe headache. Mr. Yuan brought him a bowl of hot porridge, and the hammer barely drank it. After a while, the pain stopped hurting.
With the guidance and care of a good teacher like Mr. Yuan, Ximen Hammer and his friends have made great progress in their academic performance, their moral character has been well cultivated, and their classmates get along well, but everyone is a child after all, and there has been friction between classmates, and Ximen Hammer has fought with Ximen Xiong.
