Before, the Wu family only had land but no courtyard. The courtyard was built by Wu Lingbi who sent money back.

He did not delay his studies and became a world-renowned architectural authority and consultant to the government at that time.

The old man passed away in the United States. Later, his son Wu Chenxiu resolutely returned to China and is now the dean of the School of Civil Engineering of Yuzhou University.

The one that stays in China is even worse. Because of the ingredients and overseas relations, godfather Wu Lingjun suffered a lot when he was young. He dug cinders, picked manure, and worked as a diver to touch dead people. If no one wanted to do it, he should do it.

But even though people were like this, they were still eager to learn. If there were no books to read, I would go to the farmhouses around Fawang Temple to collect scattered scriptures. When I was sent to work in the countryside, I would collect allusions, legends, proverbs and folk songs in the countryside, and memorized dozens of them.

After the college entrance examination was resumed, I was admitted to university for two consecutive years, but failed. In the third year, the requirements were lowered, and Qingbei didn't dare to think about it anymore. I simply took the Chinese Department of Sichuan University and was done.

This godfather was Zhou Zhi's idol. Back then, Zhou Zhi took the "Book of Han" and asked his fourth cousin for advice on the "Five Elements Chronicles". The fourth cousin shook his head. Only little old Wu could do this job in Jiachuan.

The fourth cousin was very particular about calling him "godfather". Lao Wu said that his level was about the same, so calling him "godfather" was friendly, but the age difference was too big, so he added a small character in front of it.

At that time, little old Wu was not Zhou Zhi's godfather, and Zhou Zhi still called him Uncle Wu, so he went to the cultural center with his book in his arms. Wu Lingjun was amused when he saw it. Our Qiao Mu couldn't count on him, and he didn't even know that you were there!

However, "Five Elements Chronicles" is too difficult for you now. I pat Zhou Zhi's little belly and put the stars in the sky and the mountains and rivers on the ground into it first.

Then he took out a star chart and a map and started talking.

That period of study completely opened Zhou Zhi's horizons, and Uncle Wu was full of things he couldn't see in Xinhua Bookstore.

In Uncle Wu's explanation, the stars in the sky are another way of combination, and they also correspond to various places in China. The names on the ground, under Uncle Wu's explanation, connect the history books he has read.

Uncle Wu was able to point out his own fallacies one by one in some places that he had taken for granted before.

Just looking at the topographical map of China and looking at those river passes, the situation is dangerous, studying "Historical Records" again, and reading it by yourself with the words, it is completely the difference between the realms of heaven and earth.

Wu Lingjun could get a lot of things just by talking.

Not only history, but also literature.

This was originally Zhou Zhi's strong point, but when Wu Lingjun talked about Chu and Han, he would mention in passing what Zhou Zhi knew, "The Song of the Wind" written by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

Then he would tell Zhou Zhi who didn’t know that this song was also composed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

For example, when talking about Yuefu, when it comes to the "green grass by the river" that Zhou Zhi knows, he will also tell Zhou Zhi about "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Grottoes", which Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also did, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also did it.

It was a popular frontier song style.

Another example is the Song Dynasty. In addition to Ouyang Xiu's "On Clique", which Zhou Zhi knew, he would tell Zhou Zhi that there were actually two other "On Clique" around that time.

These are things that cannot be found in today's books. You must think and summarize by yourself before you can get them and solidify your own things.

This also made Zhou Zhi, who was already able to show off in front of Chinese teacher Li Dashan, feel ashamed and ignorant.

It turns out that the frog at the bottom of the well is myself.

So when my mother asked if I would like Uncle Wu to be your godfather, Zhou Zhi immediately nodded.

Later, Zhou Zhi found out that his godfather's name was Wu Lingjun.

Lingjun is the character of Qu Yuan.

The godfather's education was very unique. He had a son who was one grade higher than Zhou Zhi, named Wu Qiaomu.

Because at that time Mr. Yu's place downstairs had a vinyl record of the famous Sichuan Opera called "Master Qiao Enters the Sedan", so the unlucky godbrother was nicknamed "Master Qiao" by his unscrupulous godbrother.

Master Qiao is an upright official, so the godfather will not give him pocket money. He will give him twenty yuan before the holiday. You can make cold cakes and add watermelon yourself, and you can do whatever you want. Just remember to pay back the money when school starts.

So Mr. Qiao wore a straw hat and a cattail leaf fan, and sold watermelon popsicles on the roadside in the dog days of summer.

You can't delay your studies, because the great thing about Mr. Qiao is that he can finish all his summer homework in only three days!

The rest is just for fun, and his parents don’t care!

This kind of academic master gene sometimes allows Zhou Zhi to clearly feel the full malice of God.

Mr. Qiao taught himself watercolor and was able to paint exactly the same Western science fiction pictures in Zhou Zhi's "Mystery" pictorial.

In the first year of high school, I realized that I was weak in color, so I immediately threw away my watercolors, followed Zhou Zhi to play calligraphy, and also taught myself Chinese painting and ink painting.

By now, his calligraphy skills are almost the same as Zhou Zhi's, but Zhou Zhi's ink skills are not clear to him. Anyway, this kid won the second prize in a municipal competition last year.

Adult competition!

In his previous life, Mr. Qiao was only able to pass the college entrance examination outside Sichuan because of the teaching quality in Jiachuan County. However, he began to really exert his efforts when he got there. Later, he became an alumnus with his eldest son, his uncle, and earned a master's degree, a doctorate, went abroad to study, and returned to school.

teach...

In the end, he became what his godfather once wanted him to be.

But at this time, Mr. Qiao was only a sophomore in high school, and was often looked down upon by Zhou Zhi during the holidays.

Because of the influence of his godfather and Mr. Qiao, Zhou Zhi later embarked on the road of making money during holidays.

However, Zhou Zhi has a sense of superiority and thinks that he is a prostitute, while Mr. Qiao is a prostitute...ah, not working hard.

Can I tell you about the profits of contracting canteens for a watermelon seller?!

Thinking of these thoughtful things, I feel very warm: "That's a fool. If you can't follow him this year, let him follow me!"

"What are you doing?"

"It's a secret for the time being! In short, there is less work, more money, big profits, and the market is hungry!"

"Really?" Wei Fei was tempted at this moment: "Why don't you start the whole thing now?"

"The time, place and people are favorable, but it will be a loss if we start trading now."

Wei Yi also became interested: "Anyway, there was nothing to do in those three days. My brother counts me as one!"

Zhou Zhi said this because he wanted to use his beautiful sister as a frontman: "It's necessary!"

…

…

Shudu City, "Bashu Literature" magazine.

"Editor-in-Chief Wei, I have a good manuscript here, which meets the requirements of the province!" Editor-in-chief Xiao Xingjuan came to Editor-in-Chief Wei Sheng's office with a stack of manuscripts.

"Really? Show me."

"The province's request is to refute the 'uselessness theory of knowledge'. Editor-in-Chief, I think the first article is very consistent."

Wei Sheng took it and started reading very quickly: "Xiao Xiao, the taste is a bit bland..."

The article Wei Sheng is reading is "My Grandma".

The beginning is indeed a bit dull, like a cup of light tea, the text is simple, describing some trivial things of an old rural woman.

It should have been written by a grandson, and it also contains some tips and wisdom about rural life that city people rarely see. Although it is bland, it is interesting.

"It's pretty good..." Wei Sheng nodded: "I can see the old man's wisdom in life, his optimism and humor in difficult years, and his grandson's admiration... It's no problem for listed publications or provincial newspapers. But if you vote for

Our publications are still almost meaningless..."

Xiao Xingjuan said nothing because this article gave her the same feeling at first.

But since Editor-in-Chief Wei is still reading, he won’t be too busy talking.

Later, when Wei Sheng saw that the old man had sold his family's grain savings and dowry to open a chicken and feather shop on the roadside just to support his five daughters in school, he was finally moved: "Okay! This is a good turn!"

"The author's description here is actually the same as the previous writing style." Xiao Xingjuan reminded in a low voice.

"That's right..." After being reminded by Xiao Xingjuan, Wei Sheng immediately woke up and went back to read the previous article. He was equally dull.

"Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently." Wei Sheng, like a fan who hears a good song, gently tapped the tabletop with a slow and then fast movement, and made a snap: "This is

Master."

"Sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. It's the same as the way an old man educates his daughters. The style of the article and the connotation of the story are unified." Xiao Xingjuan was a little proud - I discovered it!

Looking further down, there are some short stories between the daughters and their mothers on their way to school. The article mentions that the grandson heard these from conversations with his elders.

When I saw my mother burning torches all night to send her second daughter to the ferry, and the boat reached the middle of the river, and the second daughter looked back in the river, and saw the dark waterside in the morning mist, there were still two faint flames dancing faintly on the top and bottom,

Wei Sheng also had to take off his glasses, rubbed the corners of his eyes and put them back on.

In the end, all five daughters became talents. The eldest daughter became a people's teacher, the second daughter became the director of the regional women's federation, the third daughter became the director of the police station, the fourth daughter became the director of a kindergarten, and the youngest daughter became an accountant.

The article ends here, but everyone can see the gist of the article.

Knowledge alters your fate.

It was this mother’s wise and kind protection, and her persistence and perseverance in her daughters’ studies that completely changed the fate of this family!

In those troubled times that were full of discrimination against women, such persistence was far more valuable than it is today!

"It'll be fine if you get through it..." Wei Sheng gently put down the manuscript and took a long breath: "I finally got through it."

"Editor-in-Chief?"

"Oh, very good." Wei Sheng noticed his gaffe and quickly collected his feelings: "It's very sincere and touching! This story is narrated in such a plain way, which makes it even more touching."

"Xiao Xiao, we want this article, so we'll publish it in this issue!" Wei Sheng said, thinking about it for a moment: "But there is still a problem."

"What instructions does the editor-in-chief have?"

"This style of writing should be considered a documentary essay, right?"

"I think so too."

"Since this article meets the provincial requirements for us in the near future and is quite well written, my suggestion is to publish it."

"But we are a provincial publication after all. Since the article contains documentary elements, if it turns out to be fabricated, then our magazine will be responsible for publishing it."
Chapter completed!
