In the next few days, in addition to studying through documentaries, Li Shi would also discuss issues with "Bai Ming" from time to time.

In recent years, and Li Shi's requirements are relatively special and relatively high, the little assistant Zhang Huijing is not going well to find someone, but fortunately, there are free teachers to ask for advice now, and he is not in a hurry.

Time into February, Li Shi gradually slowed down the pace of learning, occasionally went to the supermarket, found that the supermarket has begun to sell lanterns, couplets and other New Year's goods, looking at these red things, for a moment, I feel that there is a trace of New Year's flavor.

He immediately took his phone and looked at the calendar.

On the 4th of February, the nineteenth day of the lunar calendar, the beginning of spring, there are still five days left before the northern New Year, and six days from the Southern New Year.

"There are only eleven days left before the Chinese New Year, and the days go by so fast."

When he got home, Li Shi made a video with Chen Qiuye and Wang Yuelan to determine the schedule during the Chinese New Year, and then called her mother again, telling her that she would go back to pick her up on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and then spend the New Year together in the house here in Tanzhou.

As soon as I finished talking to my mother here, it didn't take long for the little assistant Zhang Huijing to call in and report on the finishing work of the self-built house.

After listening to this, Li Shi said: "Okay, after you return to Tanzhou tomorrow, come to me, at the end of the year, let's have a meal and give you a little bonus." ”

Zhang Huijing immediately laughed and said loudly: "Thank you, boss!" ”

Well, it's full of gas.

At noon the next day, the two had a meal at the restaurant they used to frequent, and Li Shi gave her five months' salary as a bonus to reward her for her hard work since she joined the company.

Her monthly salary is 10,000 yuan, and her salary for five months is 50,000 yuan.

Seeing so much small money, Zhang Huijing stood up excitedly on the spot and bowed.

almost didn't scare Li Shi.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Li Shi finally arrived at the hundredth episode of the documentary "General History of China": The End of the Imperial System.

"Another new force has quietly emerged."

"For 2,000 years, there have been many emperors in this eastern land...... Calling for the arrival of a new era. ”

The last episode is also over.

Looking at the ending song and subtitles, Li Shi was a little stunned for a while.

The 100-episode documentary, carrying thousands of years of history, is like a magnificent painting, unfolding in front of him one by one.

At the end of this moment, he was somewhat in a trance.

After a while, Li Shicai calmly clicked on the comment area and checked the comments of netizens in the last episode.

The most liked is the famous quote of Gu Hongming quoted by netizens.

The comments below are mostly everyone's feelings.

There are all kinds of things to say, but in general, they are still within the scope of "learning from history".

Get up and move your limbs, and sit down again.

Li Shi took out the learning panel and "looked", then put his eyes on the tablet again, clicked on the table of contents of the documentary, compared the title of each episode on the catalog, took out the study notebook again, and began to compare the memories one by one:

"The Chinese Road, the Chinese Ancestors, the Origin of Agriculture, the Origin of Civilization, the Era of the States, the Traces of the Xia Dynasty, the Rise and Fall of the Yin Shang, the Civilization of the Shang Dynasty, the King of Wu and the Shang, the Regent of the Duke of Zhou...... The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Sino-Japanese War, the Restoration and Geming, the end of the imperial system. ”

With the improvement of his physique attributes, his memory is getting better and better.

With the previous foundation, plus this time to study wholeheartedly, looking at these titles and notes, he can mentally go through the timeline represented by each title, as well as the major events that happened on the timeline.

This sitting lasted more than an hour.

It was getting dark outside, and the light inside the house was fading.

Li Shi's gaze finally came to "the end of the imperial system".

Closing the notebook, this memory gave him a sense of "a moment is a lifetime".

I can't help but think of a sentence I once saw: The page you gently turn in the history books is their magnificent life.

At the same time, a sensation came to my mind.

Summing up the learning panel to check, it was really upgraded, and the study of Chinese history was promoted from the original (entry) to (beginner+).

Learning to be promoted is naturally a happy thing, but unlike the previous excitement, this time, under the influence of the "heavy" history, Li Shi's mood is particularly calm.

It belongs to that faint happiness.

It was a very peculiar experience.

He's never experienced it before and it feels good.

After studying the documentary "General History of China", Li Shi was completely relaxed, although he continued to read Qian Mu's "Outline of National History" and Lu Simian's "Lu Shu's General History of China" to strengthen and deepen the study of China's general history, but he greatly reduced the time for studying history.

I only spend two or three hours a day reading historiography.

However, the time for posting has been increased from one hour to two hours, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening.

And the rest of the time, he spends his time drinking tea and chatting, as well as reading idle books and chatting QQ.

Idle books are naturally the Internet.

Chatting on WeChat is mainly with Qiuye and Yuelan, and chatting with QQ is with the recently added female netizens, who are six or seven points similar to female stars, "Bai Boundless", Teacher Bai.

If you don't think about anything else, just in terms of chatting, Li Shi found that he actually had a special chat with Teacher Bai, a mature woman in her forties.

The two talked about history and literature, and recently started to discuss the Internet.

"Maybe I've read too many books and my mental age has become older?"

Li Shi thought so.

He didn't care about his mental age, anyway, he was used to being big about everything.

Chatting with Mr. Bai, Li Shi purely felt that it was not bad to make a netizen who could have a common topic and could talk to him, and it was very interesting.

Anything else, didn't think much about it.

A few days later, on February 8, the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar, the northern New Year.

Although the weather is getting colder and colder, in the city, except for shopping malls and supermarkets that sell New Year's goods, there is still no New Year's flavor in the rest of the city.

Sometimes Li Shi is especially nostalgic for his childhood, when he lived in the countryside, although his family had little money and lacked materials, but when it came to the Chinese New Year, the adults would give him money to buy a cheap new dress on the street in the town, grind soy milk with beans to make tofu, kill the pig for the New Year, and eat some pig-killing vegetables...... He was just happy like something.

The same goes for the other children in the village.

Everyone gets together, and your family will eat lard residue at this meeting, and his family will eat fried tofu later, and then look forward to the double-digit New Year's money and candy at most, playing with pictures, burning the dry straw in the ridges, and running all over the village.

"Since I went to college, entered the city, or grew up, I didn't feel that the New Year was good. When it comes to the Chinese New Year, I am afraid that people will ask about grades, work, and objects...... And myself, afraid that people will come to collect debts, alas. ”

Li Shi put the prepared cigarettes and alcohol in the trunk of Bentley, then went to the bank to withdraw cash, bought red envelopes at the supermarket, and then drove out of the city and went straight to his hometown Zhaoyang County on the highway.

This trip back is to pick up my mother to come to Tanzhou for the New Year.

When I got to the town, I went to my cousin's house first, put down some cigarettes and alcohol, and then went back to the village.

I went back to the village and went to the cousin's house that lent them money back then, and sat down, the younger ones, who left cigarettes and alcohol, and the older ones, gave New Year's red envelopes, not much, and put 2,000 yuan in cash in a red envelope.

The words are also very clear, this year I took his mother to the city for the New Year, and if there is something after the New Year, I may not go back to the village, so I will pay tribute to the early years in advance.

After a circle, when he got home, looking at the pile of things prepared by his mother, Li Shi was directly dumbfounded.

Two cured chickens, two cured ducks, three hanging bacon, half-legged fresh pork, a snakeskin bag of dried mushrooms, in addition to fried tofu, croquettes, native eggs, dried daylily, dried lilies, etc., and most importantly, there are two live chickens with rope tied with wings and chicken feet.

"Mom, didn't you say you don't need to get anything? You ......"

Li's mother Zhou Xiaocui said directly: "It's not for you." ”

Li Shi was speechless for a moment, it was not for him, it was naturally for her daughter-in-law...... We are prepared.

Without a word, just stuff it directly into the trunk of the car.

Finally, he looked at the two live chickens and said to his mother: "Either let's take one, deal with it now, and eat it tomorrow for the New Year, and the other one should be put at home for Aunt Na to raise, it is not easy to raise in the city, after all, there are still a few days before the New Year." ”

Before returning, Li Shi chatted with Li Qiaona for a while and talked about things in the village.

Li Shi gave her a suggestion: "Nagu, your current household registration is in the village, I think you can run for election when you change it next year." ”

Li Qiaona was stunned: "I didn't think about this. ”

Li Shi smiled: "You can think about it." ”

Li Qiaona pondered for a moment, she was a resolute character, and she was immediately figured out by Li Shi, and immediately said: "Then I'll talk to Uncle Shu first." ”

Li Shi nodded, took out the last red envelope in his pocket, handed it to her, and said, "Okay, I'll go first, this red envelope is a New Year's red envelope for the third grandfather and the third grandmother, you can help me give it." ”

The third grandfather and third grandmother are her parents.

I didn't eat in the village at noon, and it was still early to rush back to Tanzhou, so I found a restaurant outside to deal with it, and when I arrived at Phoenix Bay, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

The room was packed up before Wang Yuelan went to Yangcheng.

The family originally had four large suites, a nanny room, a storage room, and a study room.

Li Shi disliked that the previous study was too small, and transformed one of the smaller suites into today's study, and the remaining three suites, one is the master bedroom, and the other two are about the same size, and the view is also very good.

There are old people here, so pay a little attention to it, and there is no blatant sleeping in the same room.

Mother is an idle character, as soon as she arrives home, she will start to be busy, Zhang Luo must have a lively year this year.

Li Shi has been accompanying him until his mother is familiar with the electrical appliances in the kitchen, and only occasionally goes to the calligraphy post to look at the book.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, in the small year, the mother and son did a big cleaning, made six dishes, and sacrificed the king of the stove and the ancestors before the meal.

In the next two days, although Li Shi deliberately didn't study much and accompanied his mother, the old man still felt bored and bluntly said that he had to go back to his hometown early after the New Year, the city was too boring and boring.

It wasn't until the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month that her mood was a little better, and she got up early in the morning, and pulled Li Shi to drive her to the supermarket to buy fresh vegetables, saying that when Chen Qiuye and them arrived at noon, they must let them eat a hearty hot meal when they entered the door.

When he came back from buying vegetables, Li Shi helped to help, and when it was almost ten o'clock, he drove to the high-speed rail station, waited for a while, and received Chen Qiuye and Wang Yuelan who were pushing two oversized suitcases.

The two of them wore the same down jacket, one white and the other khaki, standing together, it was so attractive.

After getting into the car, Chen Qiuye sat in the co-pilot, and she was very excited at first, but when the car drove across the river and got closer to home, she began to become nervous.

Wang Yuelan in the back seat is okay, her identity today is Chen Qiuye's "cousin".

But Chen Qiuye is Chen Qiuye, such a "ruthless person", no matter how big the thing is, she is nervous, she quickly adjusted her mood, and when the car is parked in the garage, she can't see any nervousness on her surface.

It's even a little impatient.

"Let's hurry up and don't make Auntie wait too long."

As he spoke, Chen Qiuye took the lead in the direction of the elevator, and after taking a few steps, he came back, grabbed Wang Yuelan's arm, and pulled her along.

A few minutes later.

Everyone sat in the living room, Mother Li took Chen Qiuye's hand and sat together, stared at her face with a smile on her face for a while, and then turned to Li Shi and said: "Autumn leaves are so beautiful, looking at real people is more beautiful than in the video, it's a pity for you, Shi, you are climbing high." ”

Li Shi smiled with his mother.

Chen Qiuye immediately said: "Auntie, the stone was cultivated very well by you, you don't know, it was actually me who took the initiative to pursue him." ”

This sentence immediately coaxed Li's mother to blossom.

Looking at Chen Qiuye, the more he looked, the more pleasing it became.

Of course, the old man did not snub Wang Yuelan, the "cousin", and also warmly pulled her to chat.

After chatting at the door for a while, they began to eat, and after eating, they cleaned up the table, and then went to the kitchen together to deal with the hygiene, and arranged the ingredients to be eaten for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Ingredients such as fish maw need to be soaked in advance.

There were two women accompanying his mother, and Li Shi came to the study and read the book with peace of mind.

Today he read Qian Mu's "Outline of National History", and in the days before, he had already read 15 introductions and a written self-description of this book, and today he finally read the first chapter: "The Origin of Chinese Culture in the Central Plains"

"The exploration of ancient history in modern times can be described in two ways: first, the excavation of prehistoric relics. 2. Examination of legends and myths. ”

"The excavation of prehistoric relics can be divided into three parts......"

"Paleolithic Gansu Qingyang, Beijing Zhoukoudian, Shaanxi Lantian and so on, Yangshao culture in the new era, Anyang Longshan culture and so on...... Especially the excavation of Anyang Yin Ruins, I really want to see it. ”

If you only look at the words in the books, you won't have much intuitive feeling.

When Li Shi read this, he had the idea of waiting for the New Year and following the historical sites to visit the site.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

When I got up and opened the door, I saw that it was my mother.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mother Li didn't make a sound for a while, and only when she walked into the study did she ask in a low voice, "Stone, that cousin of Autumn Leaves, what's going on?" How could she be so familiar with the home, especially the kitchen, and where to put it, better than Akiba. ”

It's time to pay tribute to the early years of Taoist friends.
