Chapter 10: Read the book a hundred times
Su Changqing flipped through it a few times, and suddenly found that there were a few words that he couldn't read.
He sighed, gritted his teeth, bought an ancient Chinese dictionary, a few pens and a small book, and walked out of the bookstore with Zhang Xu's smile.
He parked his tricycle near the vegetable market, which was still easy to find. Guided by passers-by, he found his tricycle.
The tricycle was empty, with no chairs or clothes, and it was fairly clean.
Su Changqing put the plastic bag containing the book on the tricycle, pedaled the tricycle and walked up the mountain.
There was no rain today, the air was fresh and pleasant, and Su Changqing was riding his bicycle slowly, feeling happy in his heart.
"Hum hum ......" As soon as Su Changqing was happy, he began to hum the song, and he didn't know what he was humming, so he hummed casually, and there was happiness in the minor key.
It's been ridden uphill now. Su Changqing was a little tired and didn't ride anymore, so he turned on the engine and rode up.
The old mansion arrived soon, and Su Changqing stopped the car. I took the book and went through the door.
Back on his wooden bed, Su Changqing collapsed all of a sudden.
Really...... Still comfy bed.
took out five books, Su Changqing flipped through a few pages, and found that most of the words were not many, and if you understood the meaning, it was also very easy to memorize. It's just that you have to memorize it paragraph by paragraph, and this whole article is memorized, and it will probably be tiring to death.
I chose the most familiar Analects. Su Changqing flipped through the dictionary and began to translate word by word.
"Zi said: 'When you learn and learn it, don't you also say it?' There are friends from afar, don't you be happy?'
Su Changqing read it slowly, and then began to explain to the dictionary, "Confucius said: 'Isn't it pleasant to study and study often?' Isn't it very pleasant to have like-minded people come from afar? People don't understand me, and I don't resent it, isn't it also a moral gentleman?'"
......
He read very slowly, word by word, as if he wanted to memorize it firmly.
Minutes and seconds passed, and by midnight he had finished two-thirds of the way.
Ha~
Su Changqing let out a long yawn.
That's all for today and for tomorrow.
He looked at his phone and found that it was 12 o'clock, so he hurriedly put down his book and planned to go to bed.
Since he got old, he has gone to bed very early, usually basically at eight o'clock, and the first time he stayed up so late, he couldn't support it.
I went to the kitchen and cooked the porridge that I was going to eat the next day, and then I went into my room.
The most comfortable thing in the room was the bed, and as soon as he touched the pillow, he quickly fell asleep.
......
It was another morning, Su Changqing woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning, went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and continued to study.
It took him nearly an hour to read before he ran to breakfast.
Breakfast was porridge, and he didn't put a lot of water in it yesterday, so the porridge was a little thick, and there was some mustard in the kitchen. Su Changqing tore open the bag, poured the mustard into the bowl in one go, dipped it in the mustard and began to eat.
Today he had a good appetite and ate two bowls of porridge. After eating, he began to read again.
He probably already knew the full translation of the Analects, and now he began to memorize it. Su Changqing picked 5 articles, first read the translation and the original text a few times orally, closed the book, and began to recite it silently.
"The son said: 'When you learn and learn it, don't you also say it?' There are friends who come from afar, and they are happy?' A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born from the beginning. Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence!' Zi said: 'Clever words, fresh benevolence!'"
......
After reciting it a few more times, Su Changqing could already remember these five rules. He breathed a sigh of relief and was a little frustrated at the same time, there are 602 Analects in total, when will he have to memorize them? Besides, he still has 5 books, and the task period is 20 days, that is, he has to memorize a book in 4 days.
He read it again, feeling quite stressed, Su Changqing calculated, and planned to sleep only 3 or 4 hours a day to see if he could memorize this Analect, but he was already in his 80s, and he didn't know if he could survive it.
He didn't know the reward for the task, he just had to do it when he did. He had already made up his mind to work hard, and the key to success was the system task. Although there is a lottery every month, he always feels a little flustered when he doesn't do it himself, but relies on nothing to get.
After reciting for a few hours without interruption, Su Changqing only felt dizzy, and in an instant, all kinds of Zeng Ziyun Confucius words occupied his mind, and he quickly stood up and walked towards the gate.
The purpose is a piece of green. Su Changqing closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and expelled the turbidity in his body with slow breathing again and again.
His breath was scented with bamboo, and birds were chirping in the distance, chirping and singing unknown songs. If you listen closely, you can feel the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves.
Su Changqing opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and after about a quarter of an hour, he relaxed and walked back to the bedroom.
On the table in the bedroom, the breeze blew in through the window, flipping through the books. He sat down in his chair, pressed the book, and began to read again.
......
The day passed quickly.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Su Changqing was still reading "The Analects" over and over again, and felt that he was reading it well, when the phone suddenly rang.
This almost startled Su Changqing, he calmed down and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, uncle, I'm Wang Pingzhao, I'm going to accompany my nephew tomorrow, and it's probably the day after tomorrow!"
Su Changqing then thought that he had agreed to invite others to dinner, and patted his forehead with some annoyance.
"Oh oh, I see, you can come whenever you want!"
"Thank you then. Wang Pingzhao said with a smile on the phone, "I'll come over the day after tomorrow, uncle doesn't mind if I call a few more people, right?"
"Don't mind, don't mind. Su Changqing hurriedly said.
Hanging up the phone, Su Changqing sighed. Although he knew that the other party was afraid that he would be too lonely in the mountains alone and no one would take care of him, but because of this task, he really didn't have much time, although he said this sentence before......
That's it, I don't sleep today.
He gritted his teeth and thought so in his heart.
Thinking of this, Su Changqing stroked the book cover, and immediately entered the state of reading again.
"Zi said: 'The way is to govern, all to be punished, and the people are free and shameless. The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. ’”
