80s Taoism

Chapter 304 The Moon Beyond the Mountain

Xu Xuehe arranged Zhang Jiaohua under the podium, but he could control Zhang Jiaohua's body but not his head. Xu Xuehe talked on the podium that the sky was high and the clouds were calm, and wild geese were flying south, but Zhang Jiaohua thought in the audience that "it is auspicious to be prosperous in Gengyou, and it is unusual for the river to flow in.

This is the Twenty-Four Mountains that Shi Qingwang mentioned to Zhang Jiaohua that day. Shi Qingwang only said it once, and Zhang Jiaohua memorized it. If this kind of memory is known to others, they will definitely exclaim as a child prodigy. But for Zhang Jiaohua, this was too common. Zhang Jiaohua only read the books that Luo Yongming lent him, and then memorized them all, as if he took pictures of those books and stored them in his mind. This is the strength of Master Mei Shanshui. Things that seem very difficult to ordinary people are the most common things for them.

When Xu Xuehe saw that Zhang Jiaohua was not looking sideways in class, he thought that Zhang Jiaohua was listening attentively and that his strategy had played a role. But it didn't occur to Zhang Jiaohua that what he was thinking had nothing to do with the content of the class at all. Even in his dream, Zhang Jiaohua had never seen a real Twenty-Four Mountain Sweeper. Even the old Taoist master has only heard about the Twenty-Four Mountain Sweeping Dogs. It seems that only the ancestors have ever done it. Therefore, Zhang Jiaohua can only guess what the Twenty-Four Mountain Sweeping Dogs look like. Of course, he had already discovered that even though he owned more than forty mountain dogs, they were considered magnificent in Meishan, driving wild beasts in Meishan all over the sky. However, there seems to be something missing between the mountain dogs. The momentum is great, but it always lacks that overwhelming power.

Zhang Jiaohua was sitting in the classroom, but her heart was already in the sky. After school, I got up and went home, not even knowing what homework was assigned.

The next day, Xu Xuehe discovered that Zhang Jiaohua hadn't done his homework at all. So Zhang Jiaohua was called to the office.

"Student Zhang Jiaohua, all the students in the class have handed in their homework, why didn't you hand it in?" Xu Xuehe asked.

"I'm the only one in the class who can score 100 points. Principal Ma said that if you score 100 points, you don't have to hand in your homework." Zhang Jiaohua said with evidence. Ma Lisong really said this.

"Well, if you don't get 100 points next time, you will have to hand in your homework." Xu Xuehe already planned not to let Zhang Jiaohua score 100 points next time no matter what.

"Principal Ma said that it is enough to score more than 90% in the Chinese class." Zhang Jiaohua walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, and turned to Xu Xuehe and said.

Xu Xuehe really wanted to go to Ma Lisong's office to have a live PK with Ma Lisong. As a principal, how could he say so many irresponsible words?

Zhang Wenrong, Zhang Jiagen, and Zhang Hangao, who have been away from Meizi'ao for more than a month, left their hometown for the first time. At first, the prosperity of the big city overwhelmed the three of them. After coming to Guangdong, I entered the factory very smoothly. At the beginning, they went to work on time every day with a label, which made them feel a novelty, and it was a great honor for them to be able to go to work like urbanites who eat national food.

But a month later, they slowly discovered that Guangdong is not a paradise. There is endless work on the assembly line every day, and the amount of labor is nothing to those of them who stand for hours every day. But the same repetitive work every day is far more boring than cutting hogweed.

"Brother Rong, I'm homesick, do you miss it?" Zhang Jiagen said tearfully.

"No prospect. Do you want the beggar to look down on you? He is an eight-year-old kid who can manage a business as big as a gardening field by himself. If people our age can't make a name for themselves, how dare we go back to Meiziao?" Zhang Wenrong asked rhetorically. In fact, on this hurdle, those who come out for the first time do not want to go home. Every time I returned home in my dream, I heard my parents yelling, and I thought I was home as soon as I got up. Who knew that when he opened his eyes, it was this cold place. Although the weather in Guangdong is not cold, the people here are much colder than the folks in Meiziao.

Zhang Hangao wiped his face with his hands, so that Zhang Wenrong and Zhang Jiagen could not see the tears in his eyes.

"Don't hide, everyone is the same. Who doesn't want to go home? But, be successful! I don't believe that we will be worse than others! Brothers, we must strive for success!" Zhang Wenrong clasped the shoulders of Zhang Jiagen and Zhang Hangao and shouted.

"Striving!" Zhang Hangao and Zhang Jiagen also shouted loudly.

In such a big city, any one person is so insignificant in this city. Only by hugging together for warmth can we live better in this cold city made of steel and concrete.

Xu Xuehe managed to get mimeograph paper and test paper from the principal. It took half a day to neatly carve out a set of unit test papers. For Meizi'ao Primary School, this is simply a very extravagant thing. If Ma Lisong knew that this guy engaged in such a big battle just to let Zhang Jiaohua do his homework, Ma Lisong would teach Xu Xue and how to behave in minutes. These mimeograph papers and test papers were saved for the students in the graduating class. In this era, Xiaoshengchu is still a pass. No more than 50% of the students in Meizi'ao Primary School can go to junior high school in the end. In order to allow more of the fart kids in Meiziao to go to junior high school, Ma Lisong organizes sixth grade teachers to make up lessons for the students every year. There is not a penny of supplementary tuition fees, and even copy paper, ink, and white paper have been saved with great difficulty.

Giving Xu Xuehe a piece of copy paper and a piece of paper made Ma Lisong a little bit heartbroken, but the teacher was so motivated that he couldn't let it go.

In order to confuse Zhang Jiaohua, Xu Xuehe also worked hard, and specially came up with more difficult questions. He didn't think about some farts other than Zhang Jiaohua at all.

Fortunately, children in rural areas have an extremely high ability to withstand the pressure of exams, because no one cares much about their children's grades. Because he failed the exam, there is no precedent for the combination of sticks and sticks in Meizi'ao. So, fart kids don't have to jump for a surprisingly difficult exam. Instead, compare each other, how many questions I have not done, how many questions are still empty on your test paper, and so-and-so simply handed in the blank paper. Not only did they not cry, but everyone had a good time.

Xu Xuehe from the city was a little confused. This is simply not the same earth. He didn't get ninety points in the exam back then, so the beating he got was for nothing! What made Xu Xuehe speechless the most was that he didn't bother Zhang Jiaohua. Anyone who has a little bit of humanity to mark the papers should also give Zhang Jiaohua a high score on the test papers. Xu Xuehe could only give Zhang Jiaohua a score that would make him lose his power and humiliate the country. The pain of engraving the test paper until the hand is numb is completely in vain.

Even junior high school students may not be able to understand ancient spells, Zhang Jiaohua can memorize them, and runes that are harder to write than oracle bone inscriptions, Zhang Jiaohua can write. Luo Yongming's books were all put into Zhang Jiaohua's head. How could it be impossible to cope with an exam for second-grade pupils?

Xu Xuehe finally understood why Ma Lisong asked him not to care about Zhang Jiaohua. So, even if he found out about Zhang Jiaohua's disobedience in class, he gradually learned to turn a blind eye.

Zhang Jiaohua was unaware of Xu Xuehe's calculations, he was immersed in the joy of the harvest.

Although Zhang Jiaohua did not impose any restrictions on the leaders of macaques, they were allowed to live in their original places. The macaque leader seems to regard the garden as his home. During this period of time, the chestnuts and hazelnuts in the mountains were ripe, and the leader of the macaque ran over to get some snakeskin bags, and came back with various dried fruits in snakeskin bags. The nuts that I originally had to pick by myself can now be eaten at home.

I found a rotten pot, filled a pot of sand in it, buried the chestnuts in the sand, set the pot up, and heated it under the fire. When you hear crackling in the sand, the chestnuts are almost ripe.

After the leader of the macaque ate the fried chestnuts for a while, he came over every day to pester Zhang Jiaohua to eat chestnuts. This guy's mouth is still very picky.

Xu Xuehe didn't want to give up Zhang Jiaohua easily, and found a gardening farm. It happened that Zhang Jiaohua used this method to stir-fry chestnuts to eat.

"It's a pity that you are so smart and don't study hard. You can go to university in the future, but it will be different after you go to university." Xu Xuehe sighed.

"What's the difference after going to university?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"You can go to a big city to work. Get a high salary and live in a high-rise building. There are lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs. Haven't you seen life in the city on TV?" Xu Xuehe asked.

"After taking the college entrance examination, you still want to work?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"Yes. But you can have an easier job and earn more money." Xu Xuehe said.

"Work is to make money. To make money is to support the family. Is this the truth?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

Xu Xuehe nodded, "Yes. Of course, going to college is not just for making money. Going to college can make you understand the meaning of life better and reflect the value of people."

"Then if I can make a lot of money now, isn't that already very valuable? Then what else should I study?" Zhang Jiaohua asked puzzled.

"But value can't be measured simply by money, right? Reading can make you understand a lot of truths. People should have lofty ideals. Zhang Jiaohua, you should go out of Meiziao and see the outside world. Only then will you understand what I'm telling you today," Xu Xuehe said.

"Teacher Xu, why did you come to Meizi'ao after studying?" Zhang Jiaohua said something that could end Teacher Xu directly.

Teacher Xu had been praising the scent of chestnuts, but Zhang Jiaohua's words almost made Teacher Xu choke to death on a chestnut. Forget it, this kid should give up. Teacher Xu went back to Meizi'ao Primary School with a bag of chestnuts in dejection. Zhang Jiaohua's world finally quieted down.

But Teacher Xu's words also played a role. When Zhang Jiaohua looked up at the moon in the sky, he often thought in his heart: What is the outside world like? Is the moon rounder there? Why do they have to run outside one by one?
