Chapter 8 Stealing Half a Day's Leisure


The ancients said that "there is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself", all troubles come from pursuit, from unwillingness, and from the demand for self-change.If we say that what we pursue is happiness, the difficulty is that what we pursue is often "happier than others".And so, troubles breed.An Zishan in his previous life was such a person, constantly chasing happiness than others, or being forced to chase happiness than others, rushing all the way, never stopping, until the moment of rebirth, he never really understood the meaning of life.It seems that every day for more than 30 years is in a hurry, panicked, for fear of missing something for a moment.Everyone is busy, some are forced by life, some are forced not to move forward and will be eliminated, and some have their own goals and pursuits.But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the pace of life in modern society is too fast, and life is too stressful.In the high tide, it is too difficult to swim against the current, and it is not easy to rest downstream.From the current An Zishan's point of view, the emergence of these problems, in the final analysis, is still due to insufficient foundation.For example, now, he doesn't have that sense of urgency and anxiety, not because he is young and has plenty of time.But because of the foresight of the future, I am full of confidence, I have a clear and definite understanding of the result, and I have the bottom of my heart and do not panic.In his previous life, he read a chapter about the law of the bottom of the pot, specifically saying that life is like a cauldron, when you get to the bottom of the pot, as long as you are willing to work hard, no matter which direction you go up, it will change the current predicament.In fact, in real life, too many people are going around in circles at the bottom of the pot and can never find the direction to get out.Life is a play, and the director is a madman who has forgotten the script.Many times we are too addicted to this scene, and often in the end, we are the real selves when we get lost and take off the costume, but there are too few people who can take off the costume, too few, and we will be addicted to the play all our lives.An Zishan lay on the clay kang covered with a thick mattress and enjoyed the silence and leisure that he had never had in his previous life, until An Ziliang's voice when he arrived home sounded in the courtyard.Turned over and got up, walked out quickly, and greeted the eldest brother.An Zishan stretched out his hand to take the schoolbag in his eldest brother's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, what are you talking about in a meeting?"

”"I talked about some things about applying for the exam, precautions, and other things about the time of applying for the exam."

An Ziliang said with a smile while plugging in the bicycle."

You two hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat, your favorite leek meat dumplings."

Zhang's mother's voice came from the kitchen, and the kitchen door glanced at the brothers, smiling with a smile on their faces."

Got it, mother."

The Ann brothers responded almost in unison."

So, brother, did your teacher specifically say when to apply for the exam, and do you have any plans?"

An Ziliang looked at his younger brother suspiciously, looked up and down, and said slowly: "Xiaoshan, why are you asking this?"

You're weird today, so many words. ”Although he said this, An Ziliang didn't think much about it, paused and continued: "The specific time hasn't been said yet, in the middle of this month, as for my thoughts, I want to report to Lianshan No. 1 Middle School, but I still have to listen to what our father and mother say." ”An Zishan looked at the immature face of the eldest brother in front of him, tugged the eldest brother's arm, and said with a smile: "I don't care about you, I am alone in junior high school after you go to school, and there is no way to cover me." ”At this time, An Zishan knew that in the end, the parents' idea was to let the eldest brother apply for the Zhaoshi Normal School, in order to reduce the burden on the family, and also to be assigned to be a teacher for the graduation package, and for the iron job bowl of that teacher.After all, at that time, the technical secondary school normal college was a three-year education system, and the parents thought about it in the long run, and after the eldest brother graduated from the normal school and joined the work, they could help the family share some of the pressure.The main reason is that An Zishan is also going to college at that time, and the eldest brother can share the tuition fees when he makes money.After dinner in the evening, An Zishan wanted to help Zhang's mother clean up the kitchen and dining table, but Zhang's mother drove her back to the house to read.During the whole process, Zhang's mother looked at An Zishan in surprise, as if her youngest son had changed people, and the fact was the same.In his previous life, An Zishan was not very obedient in junior high school, and he would not take the initiative to do housework if his mother did not tell him.When he was in high school, he was really sensible, and of course, it was because of an incident that greatly touched him that he suddenly woke up.It is precisely because of this incident that An Zishan began to study hard in the second semester of his sophomore year of high school, and after his grades improved by leaps and bounds, he was admitted to the second college in the college entrance examination.You must know that the high school that An Zishan studied was the worst of the four high schools in the countryside of Lianshan County, and only three undergraduate students in the school were admitted to the college entrance examination that year, including An Zishan.Since his mother didn't let him clean up the table, An Zishan didn't say much, and went back to his room to read.The situation should be clear, and the time is still in a hurry to change the parents' minds, and next week's language test, you need to read a book to understand what you have learned since the beginning of school.The language knowledge in junior high school was too simple for An Zishan, after all, he was a talented man in the middle department in his previous life, and the language was easy to catch.But after all, there are some ancient poems and other memorized knowledge in junior high school language, and it is enough to deepen the impression in two days on the weekend, as for the work, what is it?

Throughout the weekend, An Zishan stayed at home quietly, reviewing the courses he had learned in the previous semester, and at the same time made a detailed study plan to spend one semester reviewing the content of the first and second years of junior high school.So much so that throughout the weekend, his family looked at him in disbelief, in the words of Zhang's mother, "How did this child suddenly change his personality and know how to learn." ”Learning, or knowledge to strengthen oneself, this An Zishan has a very painful understanding, and even if there are too many opportunities and possibilities for rebirth, for him now, strengthening himself and studying seriously is still the most important thing.A fulfilling weekend was swimming in the ocean of knowledge, and for An Zishan, there was no pressure on the knowledge of junior high school, and he enjoyed inner peace all the time this weekend.Even sleeping, it is no longer the childlike sleep of the previous life, asleep, crying, awake.I slept peacefully every night, got up energetically every morning, refreshed, and never felt the heaviness of never waking up in my previous life, and my body was as full of vitality as I was sinky.On Monday morning, An Zishan got up at five o'clock, washed and ate, as usual, with a bag of pancakes and a lunch box full of spicy fried pickles, in Zhang's mother's earnest and repeated instructions, he rode a big golden deer to school with his eldest brother.Behind her, Zhang's mother stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the brothers who were slowly moving away, until the black dot was no longer visible, and then went straight to work in the vegetable garden.After passing the only cement road in front of the school, An Zishan turned around and kept an eye on the houses along the street from time to time, An Ziliang was riding a bicycle in front of him, and did not notice An Zishan's abnormality.Suddenly, An Zishan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.I saw that the door of the old man's house was open, and an old man with a white beard and a ruddy and clean face was sweeping the open space in front of the door with a big broom.Well, the target is confirmed, and the old man is back.Hmph, bad old man, wait for the master to take you in.
