Chapter 213: Trees and Tree People


But then again, Jin Zhu felt that his entanglement seemed to be meaningless.She and Kang Xin met in Pingshui, and Jin Liu would not sign a contract with Li Ruizhong's company, who is whose brother and what does it have to do with him Thinking about it, Jin Zhu let go of his entanglement, took out his mobile phone to search for restaurants with special characteristics in the annex, this meal was her treat, so she naturally asked her to Zhang Luo.Since Jin Zhu had just arrived in the magic capital, he had to participate in the on-site essay competition the next day, so he didn't want to toss too late, so after soliciting the opinions of the four of them, he chose a Huaiyang restaurant near the school that was okay.After taking a seat, Jin Zhu saw that the four of them refused to order, so she made the decision and ordered a few signature dishes, and stopped when she estimated that it was almost enough to eat, she had been here for more than five years, and she had long been accustomed to calculating and living a life, trying not to cause waste.Of course, it will not be too petty and make others feel shabby.After ordering the food, Kang Xin asked Jin Zhu what article she wrote for the shortlisting competition, but Jin Zhu didn't hide it from her, saying that she had written an article about filial piety."

Filial piety, how did you think that writing about filial piety should be very good, why didn't I think of it" Kang Xin patted her head in annoyance.Based on her feelings, she felt that the theme selected by Jin Zhu must be easy to capture the hearts of the judges, and it is easy to get high marks when it is written."

It's different, we both grew up in different environments.The main reason is that there are many such situations in our rural areas, where parents go out to work, leave their children to the elderly, and when the children grow up, the parents do not need the elderly, so they leave the elderly aside, so that there are more and more widows and lonely elderly people in rural areas. ”"It's not just the countryside.It's the same in the city, there are more and more empty nesters in the city, no way, the younger generation has to work hard to take care of the children, where is there so much energy to take care of the elderly, the current social rhythm is so fast, young people and the old people's living habits and life concepts are also incompatible. ”Li Ruizhao said."

Yang Jinzhu.Is it that your parents also belong to this category?"

asked Shi Mengyu."

Not exactly.Okay, it's served. ”Jin Zhu diverted the conversation."

Yang Jinzhu, you should tell us the story of King Miao.Isn't that classmate of yours the descendant of King Miao, you must know the affairs of his family" Kang Xin knew that Jin Zhu had strong self-esteem, and she definitely didn't want to talk about her family's affairs.Jin Zhu also knows a thing or two about Xiyue's great-grandfather, and the old man still lives in Tianjiazhai.His family's house is on the top of the mountain, and it is said that King Miao migrated to Tianjiazhai with his tribe.King Miao built his house on the top of the mountain, the house was very large, and there was a lookout on it, which he did back then.It is said that it is to detect the invading enemy situation at any time and protect the clansmen.Due to the rumors of King Miao, this meal was not bad.Especially a few Kangxin, there is quite a bit of unfinished meaning.Meal.Jin Zhu insisted on going back to the hotel, and she didn't rest well on the train, and if she didn't go back to make up for a good night's sleep, she was worried that it would affect tomorrow's performance.The same is true for Kang Xin and Shi Mengyu, after all, they are also here to win awards, and if they are not in good shape, it will definitely affect their level.So at eight o'clock, Jin Zhu returned to the hotel, said hello to Wang Nengda, and went back to his house.Early the next morning, as soon as Jin Zhu got up, Wang Nengda came and knocked on her door, and the two went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast together, and then Wang Nengda accompanied her into the examination room.There were about one or two hundred people in the semi-finals, concentrated in a large lecture hall, and after Jin Zhu found his position, he looked left and right, and saw that Kang Xin was in a corner far away from him.The competition started at nine o'clock, and as usual for the exam, everyone sat in their own place, the only difference was that everyone received the test paper except for the name and the school two columns, the rest of the place was a blank grid, after getting the test paper, the staff on the podium randomly drew an essay question from the question bank in the computer under the supervision of the notary public.There are a total of four paintings on the big screen, the first is a pair of parents with a two- or three-year-old child planting a tree, the second painting is the two- or three-year-old child watering by himself, the third painting is a teenage boy still watering, but the small tree is a little crooked, the fourth picture is an adult in his twenties looking at a crooked tree in front of him with some frustration, the tree is not high, but there are many messy branches.Jin Zhu looked at these four paintings and pondered for a while, and the proposed title was Trees and Tree People, and the opening quote was the famous words of Guan Zi: "A one-year plan is like a tree valley, a ten-year plan is like a tree, and a lifelong plan is like a tree man." ”In other words, if you want rice to grow well, it only takes one year, if you want to make a tree grow, it takes ten years, but if you want a person to become a talent, it will take a lifetime.However, the growth of a tree needs more than sunlight and water, it also needs to constantly prune those branches that prevent it from growing tall and strong, just like the growth of a person, it is not simply a matter of giving food and drink to the child to grow up, the process of growth must be constantly educated, and at the same time it must be constantly practiced, so that he can not be tempted and confused by those flashy and vain things outside, and can become an upright, kind and useful person to society.To put it bluntly, in fact, it is also related to the fact that jade is not cut into a tool, and people do not know the meaning if they don't learn, but this learning is obviously not enough to rely on the teaching of ordinary school teachers, and it is also related to the usual family education.But the current situation in the countryside is very worrying, because in order to live, most of the parents leave their hometowns to work, leave their children at home, and it is rare to see each other once a year.And the so-called care is just to give the children a bite to eat and a piece of clothing to wear, and nothing else can help in terms of dealing with the world, just like Zhou Shuixian did to Jin Xing and Jin Bao.Of course, this is not absolute, and there is also an individual case of Li Xiang, who was brought up by Mapo.It's just that there are only a few like him after all.Jin Zhu once checked a data from the Internet, and at present, left-behind children like them are estimated to be about 60 million in the country, which is quite a huge number, because she knows that when the Kaiyuan Dynasty was prosperous, the population of the entire Tang Dynasty was just over 50 million, and the dynasty to which Jin Zhu belonged was even less.The population of the entire country is less than 10 million.Say.Now there are 10 million more children without parental care than the population of the entire Tang Dynasty in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, so many children do not have the teaching and love of their parents, it is difficult to say that they will not grow crooked in the process of growing up.Be conservative in your estimates.The amount skewed by one-tenth of the rate is also staggering, and the harm to society should not be underestimated.A little more optimistic, according to the 1 in 10 people can become talents, that is.There are still 80 percent of the people who will grow up mediocre and do not study well.It's not bad to learn.This is no less staggering.Because the progress of society not only needs the progress of science and technology, but also the progress of people, if the vast majority of people are still herding sheep, earning money, getting married, giving birth to babies, and then herding sheep from generation to generation, there is still hope for this society, not to mention anything else.Take Yangjiazhai as an example, there were more than 30 people in their village when they first went to primary school, but 11 of them came to study in the town later.Later, there were only five who came to the county to study, and these five included Jin Zhu, an ancient, and Yang Qin and Yang Jing, two non-left-behind children.The others either go to work, stay at home with their children, or wait to get married, and then let their children repeat their lives.But what do people need for progress, education, and care?

So, Jin Zhu quoted a story of Meng's mother's three migrations at the end of the article, a poor widow in ancient times can continue to move for the growth of her children to create a better humanistic environment for her children, why can't modern parents do it, they can't do it or don't want to do it, of course, this responsibility can't just be attributed to parents, it is related to this social structure, social welfare, social rights and interests, systems and other aspects, which requires the efforts of the whole society.After handing in the papers, Jin Zhu saw Wang Nengda waiting outside the examination room, and talked about his opening intentions, Wang Nengda nodded, and didn't say much.The people who can enter this examination room are not ordinary people, and the teachers who mark the papers are not ordinary people, they are well-known professors from several major universities, so he is worried that his judgment will mislead Jin Zhu."

Forget it, don't talk about it, it's over anyway, let's go out for a walk in the afternoon."

Jin Zhu raised his head with a smile and squinted at the big sun in the sky.This is the first time she has come to the magic capital, I heard that this is the most fashionable and prosperous big city in China, and it was known as a ten-mile ocean field back then, but unfortunately Jinzhu lives on campus and does not have a deep experience.Wang Nengda heard that he was about to agree to Jin Zhu, but he saw Kang Xin and Shi Mengyu walking towards Jin Zhu, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't need me to accompany you anymore." ”"No, I'm not the same kind of person as her, let's go with the two of us, I already invited them yesterday."

Jin Zhu didn't want to have too much contact with Kang Xin, after all, her identity in this life was really not on the same level as them."

It's good that you understand that.This little girl looks quite pure, otherwise she wouldn't have been thinking about you all the time, I'm afraid she wouldn't let you go easily. ”Wang Nengda smiled after speaking.His impression of Kang Xin is not bad, although he lost last time in the imperial capital, he lost very badly, and finally took the initiative to hug Jin Zhu, but I don't know if she and Jin Zhu this time, who will be thinking about this, I saw Kang Xin come over, and sure enough, when they met, they couldn't help but pull Jin Zhu and said that they wanted to invite her to dinner, "You invited it yesterday, today it's my turn, don't shirk, I said I wanted to invite you when I was in the imperial capital, and I have been chasing you for a year." ”"Well, it's hot, so let's eat something at school."

Jin Zhu saw that he couldn't push it out, so he had to retreat to the second."

No, we have all figured out the place, we can take a taxi when we go out, and we will have a good walk after dinner."

Shi Mengyu said."

You guys go shopping, I'll go shopping with my teacher, I left the teacher alone last night, and I can't say anything about it today."

Jin Zhu hurriedly pulled Wang Nengda out as a shield.At this time, Li Ruizhao and Cui Su also came, and when they heard Jin Zhu's words, Li Ruizhao pulled Kang Xin and said with a smile: "Don't force others, people may not want to go where you want to go." ”Li Ruizhao is also telling the truth, although he doesn't know Jinzhu's current economic situation, but Jinzhu was born in the countryside This is an indisputable fact, and when they first met the Jinzhu sisters, the sisters were still selling things in Tianjiazhai to make a living, even if Jinliu came out to make money now, but she was not even a third-tier star, and the advertising endorsement fee would not be too much, so the current situation of the Jinzhu family should only be poverty alleviation.Of course, Li Ruizhao didn't know Jin Zhu's ability, he just roughly calculated it based on Jin Liu's income.So whether it is from family background or economically, Jin Zhu is not a person in their circle, when he was in the imperial capital, he found a point, Jin Zhu is not willing to deal with them, probably also saw his identity and situation clearly, and has self-knowledge, so he will repeatedly refuse.In that case, why should they be strong?"

”Kang Xin was still waiting for something, but it happened that Li Ruizhao's mobile phone rang at this time.After he said two words, he gave the phone to Kang Xin, only to see Kang Xin take the phone, and the smile on her face instantly brightened.Putting down the phone, Kang Xin took Jin Zhu's hand and said with a smile: "Jin Zhu, Xiao Lizi's brother is here, he came here to have a meeting, I heard that my game is over, and he said that he was going to invite us to dinner, you can go with him, just mention your sister's matter to him." ”"No need, really no need, I'm shy by nature, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I haven't seen much of the world, so don't bother others, so as not to ruin your interest."

When Jin Zhu heard that she was going to see Li Ruizhong, she shook her head busily."

What's the bother, don't bother, the second brother likes to be lively the most, he basically knows my friends, and he doesn't have a fight at all, I lost to you last time, and he scolded me for being a waste, saying that he wanted to know who won the female master in his mind."

Kang Xin took Jinzhu's hand and shook it."

Kangxin, I really don't want to go.I told my teacher that I was going to go shopping, and it was easy for us to come to the magic capital once, but we haven't really seen the prosperity of this city yet.Also, my sister's affairs really haven't been thought through, I don't want to force her to do things she doesn't like because of lack of money, how to go in the future, she will make her own decisions, I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness. ”After Jin Zhu finished speaking, he owed Kang Xin slightly, and without waiting for the other party to say anything, he turned around and left with Wang Nengda.To be continued.S: There will be a change in the afternoon, thank you for your monthly ticket support, thank you.4209051:
