Zhao Xuanqi looked at the village chief, and said the words that he had already thought of, word by word, and said:

"Village chief, our Zhaojia Village has been a family for generations, everyone has the same roots, has always been very poor and poor, nested in Zhaojia Village, everyone is not full of food and clothing, worried about three meals a day, farming for generations, and has never left the small village."

"Our parents are farmers, our parents' parents are also farmers, our grandfather's grandfather is still a farmer, our ancestors have always been farmers, they have been poor for generations, they have been working hard and poor, they have been oppressed by others, and they are in danger, and they can only sell their sons and daughters in case of disasters, and they can only eat and eat soil, so farming cannot make a fortune."

"Farming does not allow us to achieve class leapfrogging, it can only allow us to be tied to the land."

"If we don't want to forge ahead and go down this road, our descendants will only be a farmer, ploughing the fields for generations, being trampled underfoot, and still not having enough food and clothing."

"Everything is inferior, only reading is high, only reading can get ahead, can we achieve a class leap, become a superior person, and lead the clansmen out of the village."

"I think that in order to achieve a class jump, there must be a person who breaks the rules in a generation of ordinary people, takes all responsibilities, and breaks the shackles, in order to lead the whole family to prosper."

"There must be a person in a family who fights out, wholeheartedly studies and engages in politics or business, devotes his life's energy to his career or a certain industry, and takes the first step in his life for the whole family.

"Society is a watermelon, watermelon has been divided, countless dignitaries and nobles in the upper echelons of human society are trying their best to prevent the latecomers from taking over, and the only chance for the bottom people is to exhaust their lifelong energy for generations to continue to impact upwards and compete for a little watermelon from the hands of the upper class."

"There must be such a person who breaks the game in a generation, and there must be such a person who dares to provoke the beam, otherwise the family will not see a way out at all!"

"I just want to be the game-breaker of our clan, take responsibility, break the class solidification, fight for the family to create a new smooth road, jump out of the generations of farming, enter a new level, our descendants use the wealth we have accumulated, step on the shoulders of giants, in order to accumulate greater wealth and a broader future!"

Zhao Xuanqi Xiaozhi was moved by emotion and reason, his whole body was tense, his nervousness and eagerness were overflowing, and he stared at the old man with anticipation: "I don't want me to be a mountain village farmer for the rest of my life, and I don't want the descendants of our clan to be a farmer all the time, as long as I study and get famous, I can repay everyone, pull everyone along, and every family will become a human being!" ”

"Village Chief, please believe me!"

This sound of the village chief completely woke up the old man, in front of the old wooden door, the old man came back from the shock, he waved his hand again and again, still refused:

"You... You?! There is too much money needed to study, and the clan can't afford to send it, so I can't starve others to death just to let you study, right? You are already sixteen years old, and you have not read a book for a day, so it is impossible for you to be famous! ”

The village chief dissuaded: "Those children of big families have learned poetry and ink since they were young, and they have had many precious secretaries to read since they were young, even so, they still need to study hard for more than ten years to successfully get famous, and even many still can't get famous, why do you compare with them?" How do you compare your reading with them? What do you compare yourself to? ”

He watched Zhao Xuanqi grow up, and he had already regarded Zhao Xuanqi as a child, and he longed for Zhao Xuanqi to succeed in reading more than anyone else, but the reality was in front of him, and he couldn't compare to others at all!

"Reading is just a book, isn't it just poetry? I'll do it too, when I go to the city, I'll make a poem for you, and I'll make a poem for you! ”

Saying that, Zhao Xuanqi immediately recited a poem, of course, the poem was plagiarized, but Bai Juyi's "Farewell to the Ancient Grass", a very famous poem, which has been passed down in China through the ages.

"Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withering, the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows again......"

Zhao Xuanqi had just finished reading it when he was kicked out by the village chief.

"It's nonsense, you dare to write poetry as a child who hasn't read a book? I'm afraid that I can laugh to death those who read, go and go, don't mess around, it's impossible for you to go to school in the village! The village chief closed the gate and stopped opening the door no matter how much Zhao Xuanqi shouted.

Zhao Xuanqi sighed, his face was full of despair: "The village chief has never read a book, he doesn't know the quality of poetry at all, in his eyes, composing poetry is a sacred thing, only a good reader can say a sentence or two, I just wrote a poem to him casually, but I was mistaken for nonsense, I'm afraid I will be regarded as a madman......"

"And the cost of studying is too great, and it is an extremely heavy burden for the whole village, and the village can't afford the price of not being able to get famous......

He shook his head, feeling that he was too whimsical and had to leave the village chief's house in the end.

If you can't read, what do you do next? Have you been living in the village begging for food?

……

Three poles on the moon.

It's late at night, and the chirping insects outside the window are one after another, like a lullaby, urging people to sleep all the time.

The head of Zhaojia Village has always slept very well, and he can usually sleep for most of the day before waking up.

However, today, he couldn't sleep at all, tossing and turning in bed, and never slept steadily.

Fortunately, his wife had already died, otherwise he would have been woken up a long time ago, and with the temper of the dead mother-in-law, he would definitely point to his nose and scold his mother.

"Ugh..."

The village chief sat at the head of the bed, his rickety body no longer as strong as when he was young, and sighed in silence.

He lit an oil lamp.

There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, and Zhao Xuanqi's words today kept flashing back, and those logical and well-founded words hit his heart directly.

He has seen scholars, and he has also gone out, and he is sensitive and knowledgeable, so he understands the truth of Zhao Xuanqi's words.

"If you want to achieve a class jump, there must be a person in a generation who breaks the rules, takes all the responsibilities, and breaks the shackles in order to lead the whole family to prosper......"

"That's a good thing to say, just like a businessman, a poor peasant goes to business, wanders all his life to earn a shop, the son continues to work hard to earn money by relying on the shop, and it took decades to earn a second shop, and the next generation continues to work hard to run two shops, and constantly strive to develop, so as to create more than a dozen shops, and work hard from generation to generation, until the whole family becomes a well-known big merchant and achieves class leapfrog ......"

"In this way, the descendants of this family will have so many shops, and they no longer have to work hard to earn money, and they will be born with a golden spoon in their mouths......"

"Only through the concerted efforts of several generations can wealth be created, and wealth can be protected, so that future generations can crush countless ordinary people at the starting point."

"Our Zhaojia Village has been farming for generations, and if we want to break through the peasant class, we have to develop a road that can see the future together, so as to overcome obstacles and let one generation take the first step, and then the next generation will continue to work hard and accumulate to make a fortune......

"Reading is undoubtedly the best way out, but it is also the most difficult way to get ahead......

The old man's face showed a complicated look, and he was extremely heartbroken when he thought that his people could only farm for generations, that their ancestors were farmers, and that their descendants could only be farmers, and that they had been oppressed by others.

Today, the flame in the young man's eyes is like a falling meteor, hitting his long-dormant and ignorant heart, making this self-resigned and ordinary heart have the desire to give up everything for the first time.

He recalled Zhao Xuanqi's character.

"This child is also from Zhaojia Village, his parents died when he was a child, and he grew up eating 100 meals in Zhaojia Village, and he is a child that everyone watched grow up, and many people have regarded him as a relative......

"This child is filial and intelligent, and has courage and responsibility, and the other young people in the village are ignorant and ignorant, they are not as good as him, maybe he can really ......"

Thinking of this, the old man could no longer sit still, with a decisive look on his face, he dressed in bed, left the room, and blended into the night.
