Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 808, the end

October in Sijiucheng is perhaps the most lively season of the year. People across the country celebrate with gongs and drums. Sijiucheng is the liveliest one. The red flags are really waving, and people are walking happily on the streets with gongs and drums noisy. , and the sound of cannons came.

Cannons are allowed to be set off across the country, so everyone sets off cannons to celebrate.

In the evening, He Yuyu came with his family. The four families gathered together and stewed the goose in two iron pots.

One table for men and one table for women.

A few people first celebrated the end of the exercise, and then started chatting about daily life.

"Boss, have they made arrangements for the little ones? Your Zihan and Zhuzhu's He Xiao, my family will go to the countryside at dawn!"

"Going to the countryside? What kind of countryside?"

"No, boss, you are confused. Educated youth are going to the countryside!"

"Oh, aren't they all working as temporary workers in the institute and don't have to go to the countryside!"

"Then I don't have to go to the countryside anymore?" He Xiao said
"No need to go to the countryside, no need to go to the countryside, but you still can't let this study fall behind. If you fall behind, be careful." Jiang Yan frightened them.

Jiang Yan's daughter Jiang Yiyi likes literature, but she is not the kind to moan in pain. Jiang Yan's arrangement for her is to become a teacher in the future.

In fact, what Jiang Yan said is a bit inaccurate. Only Jiang Zihan is really interested in machinery with his master. He Xiao from the He Yuzhu family is more interested in cars, and Wang Tianming from the Shitou family is interested in martial arts. Wang Tianming is one of the few among them. The most capable people, but a few of them are quite talented, and they are accepted as apprentices by those in different fields.

"Wherever we go, it's not like our family can't afford it."

Shitou said with a smile. "Come! Don't talk about this, just have fun today, come on, keep doing it! You brats, drink less. Your bodies haven't grown yet, so you can't drink more. Just taste a little! Especially Tianming, who has been following your master, Old Man Chen, recently. Let’s drink secretly!”

"Why are you so surprised? I made arrangements when I recruited workers the year before last. Aren't they learning things from the master? I just arranged it. I didn't violate the policy. They have skills in repairing machines and cars. It’s already better than our ordinary researchers, not counting the back door.”

"Boss, you still have the foresight, but with this girl Yiyi's arrangement, we can't let her go as a girl!"

"That's great. I've read several books on agricultural knowledge recently, and finally I don't need to read them anymore. Mathematics, physics and chemistry are still interesting." Zihan said excitedly. He was already ready to go to the countryside.

"I don't have any. I'm not allowed to drink it at home. When I have some wine, I send it to Master. They are a bunch of old men who can't share it themselves, so I just smell it." Wang Tianlai said aggrievedly.

As soon as these words came out, several people immediately stared at him with wide eyes, even a few 15-year-old brats who drank secretly.

"That's good. If you can't drink, drink as little as possible. This stuff is not good." Jiang Yan said.

In the institute, as usual, Jiang Yan gave them their monthly wages and tickets as regular workers, and also allowed them to come and go freely, as long as they didn't leave, they could do whatever they wanted.

These old guys are also very honest.

On this day, Jiang Yan found a lot of liberal arts things. Jiang Yan discovered that his son Jiang Zihan seemed to be obviously partial to science now. He only had eyes for mathematics, physics, geometry, mechanical engineering, and didn't pay much attention to liberal arts.

Of course, this is Jiang Yan's fault. What Jiang Yan has been instilling in his ears is that if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling around the world. Moreover, he originally thought that he would naturally appreciate literary works when he reaches his age. Who would have thought that those old guys are scrambling to be the first? While teaching Zihan, he had no other time, and even said that liberal arts were useless, which made Jiang Yan very angry when he found out. After work that day, Jiang Yan walked to Jiang Zihan's room with a copy of "Journey to the West" and saw that he was reading an engineering theory, so he spoke directly.

"Son, if it's okay, you should read these books to change your mind."

Jiang Zihan glanced at the Journey to the West that Jiang Yan brought over, and said with a bit of disdain: "Dad, I'd better show this to my younger brothers and sisters! This thing is too childish."

"childish?"

"It's not my son. This is one of the four great masterpieces of our country. You call it childish."

"Isn't that right? These are mythical novels and just short stories." I read them all when I was five or six years old, as well as the Classic of Mountains and Seas. I didn't rank the mythical beasts above, which is boring, but physics and chemistry are more interesting.

"No, son, the reason why a masterpiece is a masterpiece is that it is full of philosophy and some rules of conduct."

"For example, what can this Journey to the West illustrate, personal heroism?" Jiang Zihan put down the book in his hand and said.

"Actually, there are two ways to read Journey to the West, one is to read it forward and the other is to read it backwards," Jiang Yan said.

"What's the difference between the two?" Jiang Zihan asked.

"Reading forward is ideal, reading backward is life." Jiang Yan summed it up briefly.

"Look, as you are reading, the four monks in Tang Dynasty took back the scriptures without fear of hardships and dangers. They leveled up and fought monsters all the way to take back the scriptures. This is an inspirational story that tells you that if you are not afraid of hardships and dangers and move forward, you can always achieve your goals. dream."

"Reading it backwards, for example, Tathagata sent four masters and disciples with the Eight Heavenly Books and the Little White Dragon to preach in the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty. They encountered various monsters along the way. After fighting them, it was discovered that they all had a backend. No matter how evil you do, you will not be punished.”

"Bajie and Sha Seng thought it was too dark, so they had no choice but to hide in Gaolaozhuang and the other into the Liusha River. Only Wukong insisted on justice and killed demons along the way and escorted the master to the east to preach."

"In the end, Heaven couldn't bear Wukong anymore and reached an agreement with Tathagata - we can ensure that Tang Sanzang reaches Chang'an safely, but you have to deal with Sun Wukong, the thorny one. Tathagata agreed. After some conspiracy, Bailong was seriously injured. Falling into the mountain stream, Wukong was defeated and was crushed under the Wuzhi Mountain."

"After five hundred years like this, Wukong finally escaped from the Wuzhi Mountain without saying a word, turning the heaven upside down. The heaven was forced to agree to let Zhu Bajie turn into a human body, and he was named Marshal Tianpeng, and Monk Sha was named General Rolling the Blind, as long as they can kill Sun Wukong."

"In the end, Wukong, who was frustrated because of his brother's fratricide, went to find Patriarch Bodhi to solve his doubts. Then he sealed his cultivation, threw the Ruyi Golden Cudgel into the East China Sea and turned it into the Dinghai Divine Needle. He returned to Huaguo Mountain and accompanied him Monkey Monkey Sun lived an ordinary life and finally turned into a stone on the top of Huaguo Mountain..."

"You can't just study, you have to understand the meaning. Is Confucianism, which is being criticized now, really a dregs? If it is dregs, why has it been prevalent in our country for so many years? Seeing the essence through phenomena is the key to reading. Purpose."

"Reading makes people wise, reading makes people smart, reading makes people noble, reading makes people civilized, reading makes people sensible, and reading makes people eloquent. Reading can beautify the mind and make the soul more refined. The edges of your thoughts are filled with you The bright smile is your amazing soul.”

Jiang Yan said this series of literary remarks, which surprised his son for a moment. He had heard a lot about his father from his teachers and knew that his father was also a top figure in the country. He did not expect that his father would be a top figure in the country. I still know so much about literature.

However, if his father's words were put outside now, it would be quite shocking.

"So, son, it's good to read some free books when you have nothing to do. It can give you a different feeling." Jiang Yan patted his son on the shoulder, put down a pile of literature books and left his son's room.
