Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 22

Mu Zhen, who first came to Binhu Middle School, always felt a little depressed. It was not because she was unsatisfactory in her studies, but the most important thing was the embarrassment of being a repeated student. In his mind, repeated students have always been synonymous with poor students. He was also included in this rank, which made him more or less uncomfortable psychologically.The purpose of coming here to study is to study English. From this point of view, the price paid is indeed a bit high, but what he didn't expect was that behind the price, he got a very comfortable school life.

Teacher Fan, who teaches English here, is not tall, has a square face, and is slightly thin. Mu Zhen fell in love with this unremarkable teacher as soon as she came. His classroom atmosphere is lively but not dull. Instead of standing on the podium, he paced along the aisle in the classroom, with his hands behind his back, letting everyone look at the textbook and follow him to read. Those words seemed to be printed in Teacher Fan's mind, and the order never deviated.Mu Zhen was amazed by Teacher Fan's memory, so she followed Teacher Fan's example and silently memorized the words that were relatively unfamiliar when she was a beginner but now became familiar in order without reading the textbook.After studying for a period of time, Mu Zhen discovered that English is not difficult to learn, but that she has not mastered the learning method well. Words are like Chinese characters in Chinese. Chinese characters are radicals, and English is just various combinations of pinyin. Read and memorize, especially those short texts, if you recite them silently, you will naturally memorize them by heart. As for grammar, remember a few example sentences, and then you can become familiar with its usage.

After coming to Hubin Middle School for more than a month, Mu Zhen can almost become the second teacher in the class in terms of Chinese, mathematics, English and other subjects. There are no exercises that stump him. When students encounter problems in their studies, as long as they find him , he will always patiently help to explain, without reservation, until the other party really understands. These excellent performances have made the students begin to recognize him and are sought after by some students.The teachers also looked at him differently and basically did not restrain him.

The rare leisure at this time made Mu Zhen think about the bookcase in the house of Mr. Ma in the village. The books in that bookcase were only read at the top of the box. It really took a lot of effort to read them all.So, on the weekend, Mu Zhen went to Mr. Ma's house to borrow books.

For Mu Zhen, the knowledge contained in Ma Sanye's bookcase is far more attractive than any school textbooks. The characters in those famous books are often written vividly by the author, as if they are in front of them, vividly.At this time, apart from brushing up on English, Mu Zhen was obsessed with the famous stories borrowed from Ma Sanye.

Mu Zhen regards class as reading time and immediately arouses the attention of the Chinese teacher.This Chinese teacher, surnamed Zhai, is a talented student who has just graduated from a normal school.According to what he told Mu Zhen in private, when he was young, he also had a predestined relationship with books.Taking advantage of the time between classes, Teacher Zhai often called Mu Zhen to his dormitory and started a "small stove" for extracurricular reading.

For this "little stove", Mu Zhen was given a boost to use her imagination. The teacher and the student often discussed the characters in the novel, which gave Mu Zhen a chance to improve her understanding of the characters in the book.

Teacher Zhai once called Mu Zhen to his dormitory. When analyzing the characters in the Three Kingdoms, Teacher Zhai suddenly mentioned: "The Three Kingdoms is an era in which heroes come forth in large numbers. There are Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi, Xun Yu and other romantic figures, Wuyou Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and other powerful generals, which of these characters do you like best?"

"Cao Cao!" Mu Zhen blurted out almost without thinking.

"Why?" Teacher Zhai was obviously a little surprised by Mu Zhen's answer. When he was in the normal school, under the guidance of the teacher, he had a big discussion on "reading the Three Kingdoms and tasting characters". The characters in the Three Kingdoms are remarkable. However, the real admiration is concentrated on Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He was resourceful and made great contributions to the Shuhan regime, especially the "Teacher's Biao" learned in junior high school. His handed down work is praised.When Mu Zhen was young, she was good at everyone, and she liked Cao Cao, who looked like a villain in the book.Teacher Zhai's "Why?" was a rhetorical question without any thought, and he really couldn't think of why he fell in love with such a character for the young man in front of him.

"No one is perfect, no gold is pure, and all the big men in the Three Kingdoms have shortcomings. Guan Yu is loyal, but he is proud and arrogant, and he was killed by a young Lu Xun; Zhang Fei is very brave, but he is drunk and unstable. Although Liu Bei cried and became an emperor through the ages, to avenge his sworn brothers, family and country are not separated, so is it a trifling matter to govern the country? Zhuge Liang can be regarded as a generation of virtuous men, but he came out of Qishan seven times, labored people and money, and finally lost Wuzhangyuan, which is really unbearable Praise! Although Sun Quan has what Cao Cao said, "Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", the Jiangdong obtained by his father and brother is just to preserve his strength, but he has no ambitions, which is difficult to convince people; It is really indignant to usurp power and seek positions; as for Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Kong Rong and other monarchs, they are all pawns before the horse, and the wheel of history will not remember these pawns, and it is difficult to influence the development of history; Being a vassal is not a big deal; although some people insulted Cao Cao as the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he was actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty. In fact, if the Han Dynasty did not have Cao Cao, it would inevitably fall apart. Without Cao Cao, there would be no victory in the Battle of Guandu. , It’s really a model. When Liu Bei committed himself to his subordinates, he could see Liu Bei as a hero in today’s world at a glance, which is enough to prove that Cao Cao has his own unique side in knowing people, and he can do it according to the amount. It fully proves that Cao Cao He really seeks the world, and although he holds a high position, he did not win the title of emperor in the end, from this point of view, he is a real statesman and military strategist." Mu Zhen finished speaking in one breath, looking directly at Teacher Zhai.

Teacher Zhai did not expect that Mu Zhen replied with such a deep understanding of the characters for the three words "why". If it were not for the facts in front of him, Teacher Zhai would hardly believe it. The above evaluation came from a child, which shows that Mu Zhen's understanding of the Three Kingdoms is no less Based on a college student's understanding of the characters of the Three Kingdoms.

"How many times have you read this book?" Teacher Zhai asked suspiciously.

"Although I read the book once, I read a lot of comic books when I was a child." Mu Zhen replied seriously.

Teacher Zhai also had to admire the young man standing in front of him from the bottom of his heart. It is inevitable for a child to read ten lines at a glance and only pay attention to the wonderful storyline in the book. He did it, and he has a penetrating understanding of the characters in the book, which can prove that he is not just reading, but reading for his own use.

Since that time, Teacher Zhai has let Mu Zhen's classroom study more and more, and let it go. Not only that, but also often called to his dormitory alone to have a "small stove" for reading experience, which made Mu Zhen very happy. In his eyes, Teacher Zhai is not his teacher, but more like a big brother who talks with him. These things add more fun to Mu Zhen's study career. When she first borrowed books, Mu Zhen only told the wonderful storyline Listen to my younger brother, my younger brother is always just an audience, and there is no other language except to ask why, and now Mr. Zhai has truly become his friend outside the book, and he has allowed himself to obtain many things that cannot be read in the book. The philosophical thoughts of Rousseau, Plato, and Hegel mentioned by Mr. Zhai have greatly enriched his spiritual world.

Gradually, all the students in the class discovered that apart from Mu Zhen's hard work in English, he seldom worked hard in other subjects. It's easy to understand, and it doesn't take much effort at all, and you can master it almost eighty or ninety percent of the test without any problem.

Maybe there is no previous pressure, maybe the mood determines the reason for health. Not only did Mu Zhen read a lot of extracurricular books here, but also the number of colds and headaches was significantly reduced. The excellent results obtained in the exams passed to Lao Mu always made Lao Mu feel a little elated. As a result, the disappointment he felt when he handled the transfer for Mu Zhen gradually became indifferent.
