"There is also the essay "On Conscience", which can be completed by plagiarizing the predecessors, and I don't plan to write it tonight." Zhou Zhi said.

"Which predecessor?"

"Wang Yangming and Wang Shouren, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty, founded a study of mind, and its main theme was to 'reach conscience'."

"I haven't heard of this person."

Indeed, this name will take more than ten years to become a household name.

"So you have to write harder." Zhou Zhi said: "How much have you done?"

"I have finished geography and history, and I have not written any essays in English and Chinese. I have a few questions to help me see..."

"Okay, let's take a look..."

The fourth brother could no longer stand this atmosphere, so he ran to make his bamboo tube water gun.

The eldest daughter smiled and took the needle and thread, watching Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi continue to study the topic, and she was very satisfied.

Zhou Zhi, this child, has really grown up...

After several difficult problems were solved, Jiang Shuyi stretched out his arms and twisted his waist: "I still have to do some homework together, and I do it a lot and fast."

"Zhou Zhi, I have to go back."

"Then I'll give you it." Zhou Zhi stood up: "I won't carry my schoolbag, right? I'll pick you up tomorrow. Let's continue."

"Um."

Asked the master to find a flashlight, Zhou Zhi turned it on, and the two of them walked back along the path they came.

It was already dark, and there was no light pollution now. The night sky on the central school playground was particularly beautiful.

The sparrows have already gone to bed. Instead of their noise, there are a few reckless spring insects in the small garden and the worms that start to ring early.

"Shuyi, let's go to the playground basketball stand for a while."

"..." Jiang Shuyi didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

When he came under the basketball stand, Zhou Zhi turned off the flashlight.

"Zhou Zhi...why are you...doing?" There was a hint of nervous trembling in Jiang Shuyi's voice.

"Shu Yi, look up."

"Ah...there are so many stars in the sky."

"Well, the more you look at it, the more you will see."

"I haven't seen the night sky for a long time. Since... I'm almost in the fifth grade."

"Shu Yi, do you still remember the year we were in the fifth grade of elementary school?"

"Remember! That year the gas harvesting team collected natural gas on the mountain. Later, for some reason, they burned the natural gas again."

"I heard that it's not enough energy and has no value."

"That big fire burned on the hill for a month, and there was no night in Rongshan Town that month."

"Yes, it's all red by the huge fire at night."

"There are also rumbling sounds, I'm so scared every night. The fire has been extinguished for a long time and I haven't dared to go to the mountain to see it."

"There were many wild onions and folded ear roots on the mountain before, and they were all burned at that time." Zhou Zhi said: "Later I went again, and the top of the mountain was burned black and bare..."

"By the way, Zhou Zhi, I heard that many stones were turned into crystals near the fire cave." Jiang Shuyi said with a little regret: "But I didn't pick them up, and said they were all picked up by the children who went there first. Do you know this?"

"Of course I know, because I was one of the first kids to go there, and those crystals... were the first ones I discovered."

"real?"

"Really, but later I found out that those were just glass." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "When we went up, the smell on the mountain was still bad, and the trunk cores that were burned into charcoal had not yet turned off."

"I'll give you a piece of glass I picked up there when I go to school on Monday, but actually... it's really ugly."

"I want to. Thank you Zhou Zhi."

"No need to thank you, eh? Why don't we go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables tomorrow!" Zhou Zhi suddenly thought of playing like this: "Shuyi, have you dug wild vegetables?"

"No, I don't know wild onions and wild vegetables either."

"I know you, I will take you to recognize you. Now is the time when the soft and goose sausage dish is just released. We will pick it tomorrow and come back to make cakes!"

"What should I do if I do homework?"

"Isn't there only composition and mathematics left? Do it in the afternoon!"

"This...is good!"

"Let's go, I'll take you home to sleep! I'll take you to play tomorrow!"

Zhou Zhi's move to send Jiang Shuyi back made Jiang's mother and father relieved. They were worried that Zhou Zhi would be ignorant and let Jiang Shuyi come back alone.

"Uncle and Auntie, our homework is just a short time to write an essay. We are going to do it tomorrow afternoon. In the morning, I will take Jiang Shuyi to the mountain to dig wild vegetables. When I come back, I just happen to write an essay."

Neither Jiang Qiao nor Du Yufen noticed Zhou Zhida's ambush, thinking that the composition assigned by the school was a self-selected topic, and digging wild vegetables in the morning was exactly the subject of the composition in the afternoon.

Gu Bi

Jiang Ma smiled and said, "Okay, but Shu Yi didn't know anything like wild vegetables? Don't run too fast, Zhou Zhi, please help me take care of Shu Yi."

"Okay, let's call her again tomorrow, see you uncle and aunt."

"goodbye."

...

...

Back at the grandmaster's house that night, Zhou Zhi told Lao Si about his thoughts, and Lao Si immediately responded.

As long as it is a play, Su Datou will not respond.

Zhou Zhi soaked a portion of rice, then ran under the bed and dragged a large box out, and started looking for equipment.

Inside the box are some of the tools commonly used by the cousin's electrician class, and there are also small hoes, small rakes and the like in the small garden downstairs, as well as a bunch of scrap fountain pens.

Seeing the pile of scrap fountain pens, Zhou Zhi suddenly recalled something, searched all the pens and piled them on the wooden floor, opened them one by one and looked at them.

"These are all waste pens." said the fourth brother: "It's useless."

"Why is it useless? If there are two similar ones, one pen tip is broken and the other pen courage is broken, then pull out the good pen tip and switch it to the other one, won't it still work?"

"This will cost two more yuan in pocket money, right?" The fourth brother suddenly became excited: "Look!"

In fact, Zhou Zhi’s purpose was not this. Not long after, Zhou Zhi turned out the one he wanted. The tip of the pen was yellow, and there were a few fine small characters "90% gold" on it.

Zhou Zhi wiped the pen clean, closed the pen lid again, and walked to the outside room: "Master, I heard that my aunt and uncle didn't leave anything at home, there was only a little iron fish and a pen, right?"

The little iron fish is a small circle with iron sheet, plated with nickel, and then connected with small iron needles as thick as big tacks, which can be hung on the keychain.

Now there are things you can buy for fifty cents in the needlework.

"Yes, the little iron fish is still there, but the pen is gone." The eldest prince was a little regretful: "It was a golden pen, and it has not been seen for many years."

After saying that, he raised his wrist and revealed an old watch: "Actually, this one is still there."

It was a watch whose dial had turned yellow and I didn’t know how many times I had changed the strap.

Zhou Zhi, the last life, also found this pen in this toolbox, but the old watch in the big man's hand has never paid attention to the brand.

"Is this... plum blossom?" Zhou Zhi was a little surprised: "It's a very good watch."

If I could have these two things in the past 50s, my aunt's position at that time should be quite high.

"Is it a good watch?" The eldest son was not clear: "I asked many people, but they all said they didn't know this brand."

In the past, if people in Rongshan Town could know Shanghai, it would be nice if they could know the seagulls. Now, they may know the king of heaven and Citizen. I am afraid there are not many people who can know plum blossoms.

"It's really a good watch." Zhou Zhi spread his hands and stretched out: "Master, look at this, is it the pen of my aunt?"

The eldest daughter looked up and her expression suddenly became excited: "Show me quickly, it's a bit like it!"

Open the cap: "Where did you find it? It's really this one! It's this one!"

"We took out a pile of rotten pens from my cousin's toolbox. Fortunately, there was a box that I didn't throw away the rotten pens for many years!"

"I finally found it... I didn't lose it, Zhou Zhi's pen was not lost!" The eldest prince grabbed Zhou Zhi's hand: "I have been missing for many years, and I thought I would definitely not see it..."

"Don't be excited, my grandfather's three-piece set has been re-assembled, so I should be happy..."

"The big man is just happy." The big man shook the corners of his eyes: "What's wrong with your big cousin? Can you lose all this money?"

"He was still very young at that time, right? I guess he wasn't much older than me now. Oh, he didn't use this homework at that time, right?"

"Why haven't you used it? It would be good if you have a pen at that time." The big man touched the pen with distress, laughed with tears in his eyes: "He insisted on using a pen, so I gave it to him, but he still didn't read it out, wasted!"

"The employees of Tianhua Company are well paid." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Can Manjiachuan find a unit with a total water, electricity and gas fee of less than two yuan in one month?"

My aunt died in 1957, so my cousin should be 34 years old this year. Now he is the leader of the electrician team of Tianhua Company and has a good income.

My cousin’s wife is an English teacher at the central school and a backbone of the school. She also earns a lot of money during the holidays.

In addition, the college also has a retirement salary, so this family is quite good in the town.
