Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 69
The car stopped again and someone got in.

"Excuse me, how long does it take us to get to the bottom of the city center?"

He Shiling looked at the conductor who approached and asked.

"Traffic jam for half an hour. No traffic jam, 10 minutes."

"Okay, thank you." He Shiling glanced at her watch, it was 16:15, it was not too late.

10 minutes, I can sleep for a while, suddenly thought of that person's reminder, smiled, okay, let's take a look at the scenery outside the window.

Looking at the changing scenery outside the window, it was different from the road she had passed before. There were no large fields and crops, and she came into sight. The weeping willow, seen through the wicker, is a neat orchard, which looks very layered.

The scene in front of me really corresponds to Li Yu's sentence: the willows are long, the spring rain is fine, and the flowers are leaked and delivered.

The car was driving in the middle of that road, and occasionally it stopped and someone got into the car.

When the scene of the car window began to change into the same type of street lamps that were replaced one by one, the road outside the window gradually widened.The number of cars also began to increase, but the speed of the bus slowed down, and it was almost in a state of moving forward.

It seems that they have already left Yunling County and are going to Jingyun City.He Shiling glanced at the watch, 16:30.

After slightly adjusting his sitting position, he looked around the carriage.

There was no voice or laughter in the car, and everyone quietly leaned on their seats.

Light music was flowing slowly in the carriage. After listening to the melody carefully, He Shiling laughed. It was actually high mountains and flowing water!Thinking of the warm smiling face of someone in front of the platform and a series of events that happened in the morning, I couldn't help but glance at the seat on the left.

It was found that there were already people sitting in the seat on the left.

Vermillion thin-rimmed glasses, brown slightly curly waist-length hair, combed back smoothly, revealing a smooth forehead, fair skin, and a thin scarlet leather bag that extends from shoulder to knee.

At this moment, she is turning over the book on her lap attentively.

He Shiling glanced at it inadvertently, and was surprised to find that it was an English version of the book?I couldn't help but glance at the page:

“It was a rimy morning, and very damp. I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window, as if some goblin had been crying there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief. …”

"Great Expectations!" He Shiling said in a low voice.

It was Dickens' Great Expectations, which I had just finished reading with the help of the Oxford Bilingual Dictionary during the winter vacation.

"Have you read it?" The man turned his head to the side, his eyes were wide, and he smiled crookedly, with a very cordial feeling.

"I've seen it a bit." He Shiling smiled, "I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's also in English?" the man asked with a smile, and clicked the page in his hand.

"Yeah." He Shiling nodded.

"Oh, very good! Can we have a chat?" The man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.

"Okay." He Shiling smiled and responded, "This is Chapter 3. Little Pip stole food from his sister's house and was going to rescue a fugitive who happened to meet in a rural cemetery. So far, there are five characters that have appeared on the scene. Little Pip Pip, brother-in-law Joe, sister, fugitive, and a young man."

"Not very good, you spoiled." The man smiled.

"Shouldn't it affect the mood of watching it?" He Shiling laughed, the man looked at it, he should be about 30 years old, dressed in fashion and yet stable, pleasing to the eye and heart.

"How can I see it?" The man smiled, his big eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape.

"This book, elder sister, should have been read." He Shiling pointed to the pages of the book. The book could see traces of being read. He glanced at the person in front of him and laughed. Of course, the book cannot be read unless it is borrowed. It may also be borrowing. "Those who can read books in the car must have read the Chinese version a long time ago."

"Haha—" The man laughed, put the book in front of him, put it down again, and looked at He Shiling, "Very good, such a smart girl, where do you study?"

"Yunling Middle School." He Shiling smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, sister, who is also Hui Zhilan's heart."

"What about Yunling High School?" Zhu Yan opened her eyes wide and looked at He Shiling up and down, "Very good, I heard that the students in this school are good. Seeing you today, I believe that Yunling is well-deserved."

"Sister, it's too much," He Shiling smiled, this person is very good at chatting, "Yunling's teachers and classmates are good, there are many excellent students, I am just a very ordinary one."

"Really? If there is a chance in the future, then I must get to know it well." Zhu Yan smiled, looked at He Shiling, closed the book in her hand, and unexpectedly met such an interesting girl, "Depending on the situation, there must be a Let's talk about this book."

"Okay." He Shiling responded with a smile, glanced out the window, she was about to enter the city, there were a lot of cars on the road, and the cars were driving very slowly, it was indeed a while.

Looking back at the person in front of her, she found that the person was looking at her with a smile, but did not speak.

Are you waiting for her to speak?He Shiling pointed to herself.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhu Yan spoke: "I'm waiting for you."

"Where do we start?" He Shiling smiled, "It was all spoiled just now."

"Haha-" Zhu Yan laughed, "From the perspective of appreciation of works, let's talk briefly."

"Okay. Then I'll get an axe." He Shiling smiled and looked down at the closed book, "This book, compared to Dickens' previous works, has a less humorous style and a stronger sense of depression. It's a bleak scene, and that's how it begins, the story begins in the churchyard."

"Huh?" Zhu Yan smiled and motioned her to continue.

"Although the ending seems optimistic, after many years, Pip returns and reunites with Estella, whom he liked when he was young, but more than ten years have passed, one has been through vicissitudes of life, the other has been a widow for many years, and both of them have left painful experiences on their bodies. The stigma of life, the cruelty of life cannot be avoided," He Shiling took a deep breath, "with a strong tragic color, this may be the power of the author's critical realism."

"After reading it, I can't help but feel fortunate that the era I live in is over." He Shiling paused and sighed.

"Yes, this is his work in his later years, when he was experiencing great pain in marriage and relationship." Zhu Yan nodded, "Like you were ten years old and now, your understanding of the world is different, and some concepts will also occur. Changed. As the author grows older and deepens his understanding of society, his thoughts also undergo changes. Through the description of the ups and downs of Pip's three stages of life, this book also expresses his views on life and human nature. view, but he is still a tribute to the valuable character of the little people at the bottom of the society."

"Yes. Yes, although it is depressing, the theme of love runs through the comforting article," He Shiling nodded thoughtfully, "Among these characters, I prefer Joe, who has a honest and somewhat dull personality. Here, the selfless and simple love for little Pip is also the love that guides Pip. In the constant inner struggle between right and wrong, he gradually returns to his conscience, and Joe himself and his step-wife live a happy life. "

"What you give to life, life will give back to you in the same way, one day in the future." He Shiling paused, "Qiao is a person with valuable qualities and sincere emotions, be like Qiao People like that, keep themselves clean, think about themselves, and do their best to help those around them in need, even if it is a crescent moon, they should use the moonlight that is not too bright to illuminate those who walk at night.”

Zhu Yan looked again, the girl in front of her was a handsome girl, her eyes were clear and full of aura, with a faint smile on her face. Against the background of the goose yellow coat, she looked more fresh and refined, making her People look very comfortable.

Her voice was clear, neither hurried nor slow, with a calmness and calmness in her speech, and suddenly remembered a sentence: Watching her speech and demeanor, she is not mediocre.Is this just an extremely ordinary student of Yun Ling?

If it is, then Yunling Middle School is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, and it has the momentum to approach Lingnuo Middle School. If not, then this girl who is self-proclaimed as a "very ordinary student" should also be in Yunling. a "character".

Suddenly, I remembered that several students mentioned by my friend Ding Kailing came. I don't know what kind of "excellent" such students should be.

Zhu Yan thought to herself, but it's too soon, she is already on her way to Yunling, and she will slowly discover these "babies".
