Chapter 12 We had dreams then, about literature and love
Li Xiaojie was a little surprised for a while, and she didn't know why her brother gave her money again.
Li Jingkun said: "It's okay, you take it, you are bigger than them, and you will spend more money than them." If there's anything you want to buy, you can tell me. ”
As soon as she finished saying this, Li Xiaojie's eyes turned a little red.
In fact, adolescent girls, everyone will subconsciously compare who wears better clothes, whose clothes are fashionable, and even the bicycle is too shabby, she is embarrassed to be seen.
But of course she knows the situation at home very well, and her parents have instilled in them the idea that the family has no money since childhood, so they should be more frugal. She is also a sensible child and does not ask for anything too much.
But who wouldn't want to dress and eat better if they could?
Who wouldn't want to hold their head up a little higher and who wouldn't want to live a little more confidently if they could live a little better?
"Hurry up and take it, don't be seen by the two of them."
Li Xiaojie quickly wiped her tears, took the money, and then turned around and went upstairs as if nothing happened—she was going to put the money away secretly.
Li Jingkun couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself: Yes, I was a little selfish before, and I always thought that after I got the money, I would buy myself a guitar, MP3, a mobile phone, etc.;
Forget about his younger siblings, who also have their own things to buy.
Not to buy all kinds of luxuries, but to be able to live like their peers; It's good not to look so old-fashioned and inferior in the crowd.
······
From Li Jingkun's home to Liuchuan City, you have to ride a bicycle to the town first, then leave the bicycle at a store near the station for five cents, and then take the bus to Liuchuan City for two yuan.
So the next day, he and his second sister rode a bicycle to take their younger siblings to town.
But he wasn't ready to take the bus.
There are four of them, 16 yuan back and forth by bus, and about 50 yuan back and forth if you beat the black (yes, there are no regular taxis here).
If it was him, of course, he would have taken the bus. But his sister and brother were still young, so he decided to stop a black one.
Several people were very excited along the way, in fact, it was the first time they were riding in a car, and they were very happy.
And it's also the first time to go to Rukawa City to play.
Yes, Liuchuan City actually only belongs to the fourth and fifth tier cities, but in the eyes of many people, it is already a big city that cannot be visited a few times a year!
And their eldest brother was able to be admitted to the school here, and he brought them to the city to play today.
So I was very happy all day, bought a lot of things that I usually didn't dare to buy, and ate a lot of snacks that I usually could only watch my classmates eat.
Lunch was eaten at Kende Chicken, which was also the first time they had eaten this, which they usually only saw on TV, and could only be heard in the mouths of their classmates, and today they finally ate it.
"Brother, since you can make so much money writing novels, you will have to write more in the future!"
Li Jingming instructed his brother while eating, because he still wanted to continue to live this life.
"Okay, listen to you." Li Jingkun said.
……
This morning, Li Jingkun walked into the classroom and found several people discussing something in front of the second group.
At first, he thought that the boys were gathered around the beautiful Xie Wenmin, because Xie Wenmin was sitting at the first table in the second group.
Then I found out that it was not, everyone was gathered around Xu Yuebin's table at the second table.
It turned out that they were discussing the issue of the new concept of English, and at this time Xu Yuebin was talking eloquently:
"Actually, the three volumes of the new concept are a bit early for our first year of high school, and this is the senior of our English club who borrowed me.
He said that the three books of the new concept are of great help in improving the level of English appreciation and mastering English expression skills, and can also make great breakthroughs in vocabulary......
"Lend me a look?"
Li Jingkun also walked over and flipped through the pages, and read a few pages carefully.
To be honest, it was only years later that he realized that he was still gifted with languages. But I didn't make any effort in this area before, and I was able to speak English so late.
In fact, there is no end to learning, and the really good people are the ones who keep learning.
He found that the three volumes of New Concepts were indeed very well written, covering a lot of things, and the content was also very interesting.
It includes vocabulary specializations, advanced grammar points, and more, as well as teaching how to write.
"Do you understand?"
Suddenly, a voice with a funny tone sounded, Xu Yuebin said: "Just flip through it, there are many words that we haven't learned yet, and we can't understand the words." ”
Li Jingkun's English is among the top spears, but Xu Yuebin's grades are also good.
But he may not have heard a sentence that someone scored 100 points because the paper only had 100 points.
"Thank you."
Li Jingkun originally thought that they were all classmates, and it was nothing to look through, but the other party's tone was not very good; He thanked him politely, and returned to his place.
However, his popularity is very good, and almost the whole class knows him. Someone spoke for him: "Jingkun's English is actually quite good, often the first in our class, and the top ten in the grade." ”
Xu Yuebin said: "His foundation is very good, I admit this, but high school English is different from junior high school English, junior high school can be said to just memorize more words, high school in addition to this, but also learn to understand comprehensively......
The first two lessons of today are English lessons.
The English teacher was a woman in her early thirties named Zhou Erlan. She has a very interesting characteristic, that is, she likes to spray very strong perfumes, and often before people arrive, the smell of perfume comes first.
However, she has a very gentle personality and has a good attitude towards almost everyone, of course, like all teachers, she naturally has a preference for students with good grades.
Li Jingkun is certainly one of them.
But now he can't take on the responsibility that Zhou Zhiqin took before, that is, he doesn't need to save the scene or anything, because the level of his classmates is not low now.
In the second class, when I mentioned that reading comprehension was about dreams, my English teacher Zhou Erlan called one or two people to come up and talk about their dreams in English.
These are routine operations, similar to when a teacher learns a new word in elementary school, the teacher asks the student to get up and make a sentence.
It's just that when you make a sentence in English, most people speak it a little bumpy and not so smooth.
Xu Yuebin was also called up, saying that he could speak it, and his grammar was correct, and he also had a few conversations with Zhou Erlan.
But it's inevitable.
But everyone is not surprised, because everyone is more or less the same. And I also believe that if he writes an essay during the exam, he can write a lot and write well.
"My dream is to study hard and try to get into a good university." Xu Yuebin said.
"It's a good dream, can I know which university you want to be?" Zhou Erlan guided him to say more.
After a period of awkward chatting, Zhou Erlan asked him to sit down and praised him.
Then he called Li Jingkun up.
Not for anything else, just because I saw him holding his chin with his hand and bowing his head and smiling.
What does it mean? Deserted or do you think their conversation is funny?
Although he is a student with good grades, if his attitude is not good, he still has to learn a lesson.
Anyone who has stood on the podium should know that the teacher can really see everyone's small movements very clearly. It's just a matter of seeing if he catches you.
"Jingkun, can you try to talk about your dreams?" Zhou Erlan said in English.
"OK, why not?" Li Jingkun also responded in English.
Zhou Erlan couldn't help but laugh, because Li Jingkun imitated the tone of the foreigner when he said this.
This line appears very frequently in many foreign film and television works, and it is a very common sentence.
At this time, she thought that he was just skinning, but she didn't expect the wonderful performance to start later.
Li Jingkun thought for a moment, and then began to say:
"I'm a person with a lot of hobbies, so I have a lot of dreams.
When I was in elementary school, I dreamed of becoming a singer because I loved singing. When I was in junior high school, I became obsessed with playing basketball, so I wanted to become a basketball player. Later, I became obsessed with reading novels and wanted to become a writer......
But then I didn't think I could achieve those dreams. It's hard for me to be a singer because being a singer doesn't just have to be able to sing; I can't be a basketball player because I don't play basketball well......
Some people may think that I am sensible and that I have grown up.
To be a human being is indeed to recognize the reality, realize your own abilities and gaps, and make your dreams smaller.
But now I realize that I was wrong, that I was limiting my thinking and development.
……
It sounds ridiculous, but dreams are ridiculous daydreams!
More than 100 years ago, when someone said that they wanted humans to soar in the sky, everyone would laugh at him and think that he was paranoid......"
