Gangnam Province, Baxian Town.

This is a small town on the ancient road of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is said that the first gathering of the Eight Immortals was here, so it was named "Eight Immortals Town".

When it was September, the autumn sun was shining.

In a small courtyard in the east of the town, there was a burst of recitation, and the sound of books was loud.

Entering the courtyard, in the middle of a house, I saw a group of teenage children sitting at their desks, each holding a book in their hands, and concentrating on reading.

A gentleman with his hands behind his back, holding a ring ruler in his palm, paced around the room, his eyes scanned back and forth, and suddenly his face turned pale, stopped, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!"

When the children heard this, they stopped talking and looked at Mr.

The gentleman stared at a child in the corner of the back row, and said coldly: "Jiang Yu, stand up!"

All the children turned their heads together, and saw that the child was about eleven or twelve years old, and when he heard this, he looked panicked, and hurriedly stood up and lowered his head.

The gentleman paced to the Jiangyu table, stared at him, and said in a deep voice, "Jiangyu, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yu hung his head and said, "Sir, the disciple and his classmates are reciting poetry and books. ”

The gentleman's face sank, and he said coldly, "Yes, where are your books?"

Jiang Yu lowered his head, looked at the empty desk in front of him, and whispered, "The disciple got up late this morning and forgot to bring it in a hurry." ”

The gentleman's face turned angry, and he snorted heavily: "I forgot to bring it? I can tell you what you say! A student forgets to bring a book in class, just like a soldier forgets to bring a weapon on the battlefield.

The river fish lowered his head and said nothing.

The more the gentleman spoke, the more angry he became, and he snorted heavily: "Jiang Yu, in order to show punishment, I will punish you to clean the courtyard!"

Jiang Yu was originally anxious and quite frightened, but when he heard this, he was relieved, his face was relaxed, and he whispered: "Yes." He got up and lowered his head and walked out slowly.

When the gentleman saw this, he was even more annoyed, and said loudly: "Listen, clean the courtyard, plus clean the toilet, every day, for a whole month, there must be no mistake!"

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, turned around suddenly, looked at Mr. and said, "It will take a whole month to clean the courtyard and the toilet?"

The gentleman said coldly: "In the past, the teacher was soft-hearted, and he was education-oriented, and he punished you and the others for a long time, but he did not change his teachings, he was not ashamed, and he was accustomed to it.

Jiang Yu was stunned on the spot and looked at Mr. stupidly.

The classroom resounded with laughter, and all the children were gloating, looking at the river fish, giggling and laughing.

Jiang Yu said loudly: "Sir, this is not fair, why do you want to start with me? Besides, you didn't say it in advance, and you didn't warn it, this is called punishment without teaching, I don't accept it!"

All the children were stunned, looking at the river fish, but they didn't expect this kid to dare to argue with Mr.

Mr. said coldly: "Zi said that there is no class of teaching, the teacher does not teach and punishes today, not only to punish, but also to punish the heart, that is to wait for the good, the so-called jade is not cut into a weapon, strict teachers out of high apprentices, don't you understand?"

Jiang Yu said loudly: "Sir, what you teach, I will, just like the poem everyone read this morning, I can memorize it a long time ago, although I didn't bring a book, but I have already remembered it in my heart, the book is in my stomach, why do you punish me?"

The gentleman's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Really?"

Jiang Yu straightened his waist, his eyes were blazing, he looked at Mr., and said loudly: "Yes, yes, not only I can teach you, but I will also know what you have not taught!"

The classroom suddenly fell silent, and all the schoolchildren looked at the river fish, all of them with a look of surprise.

The gentleman's eyes flickered, and he said lightly: "Okay, very good, then you can recite the poem that the students recited just now and listen to it for the teacher." ”

Jiang Yu did not hesitate, and said loudly: "Okay, memorize it, you all listen!" Then coughed, moistened his throat, and recited: "Yongshi, Zuo Si."

The bottom of the lush stream is pine, and it is far from the seedlings on the mountain.

With the diameter of the stem, the shade of this hundred feet.

The world is in a high position, handsome and subordinate.

The topography makes it so, and the origin is not a one-time. ”

The classroom was silent, and all the schoolchildren looked at the river fish, but no one spoke.

The gentleman stared at the river fish and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the meaning of the poem, do you understand?"

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Of course I understand! is a reader who has no interest, a nerd, whining, blaming others for being better than himself, more successful than himself, complaining about the sky, complaining about his lack of ability, only complaining about bad luck and the injustice of the world, it is really useless!"

The gentleman was stunned for a moment, stared at the river fish, and said in a deep voice: "What do you say, you ......"

Jiang Yu didn't wait for Mr. to finish speaking, and said loudly: "That's it, useless scholars, they will always blame others, complain about fate, hate the world, but they don't know how to find reasons from themselves, make up for shortcomings, use current affairs, create opportunities, and control fate.

The gentleman's face changed, and he stared at the river fish and did not make a sound for a long time.

The classroom was even quieter, and the schoolchildren didn't expect Jiang Yu to say this, which was really unheard of.

The gentleman's eyes flashed, staring at the river fish, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang fish, what about you?"

Jiang Yu straightened his waist, raised his head, and said loudly: "Others are on the mountain, higher than themselves, then I will climb bravely, climb to a higher mountain, higher than him, let him be below me, lower than me, look up to me!"

The gentleman nodded and said in a deep voice, "What if you try your best and still can't do it?"

Jiang Yu did not hesitate and said loudly: "That's easy to do, I'll just think of pulling him down from a high place, trampling him under his feet, so that he can't get up, and see how he prostrates and begs in front of me!"

The gentleman's face changed, his eyes were strange, and he looked at the river fish.

Jiang Yu vomited the blockade in his heart, the chest was full of pride, standing proud, although he was young and his body was small, he already had a heroic spirit that looked down on the world.

The sunlight came into the house from outside, and the children stared at the river fish together.

The gentleman's face returned to calm, looked at Jiang Yu, nodded, and said lightly: "Jiang Yu, you really don't know the height of the sky, you are talking wildly, and you are not honest! It's just that after all, he is young and frivolous, and he doesn't know how difficult the world is. What you are talking about is to promote oneself and suppress others, if you can't do it, what should you do?"

Jiang Yu had a resolute look on his face, and said loudly: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't laugh at the youth madness! Since ancient times, heroes don't ask where they come from, they have always been heroic and reckless, since I say it, I will do it, endure great hardships, suffer great crimes, I admit it, just for him to get ahead, achieve great things, create great causes, and stand tall in the world!"
