Seeing that He Qi agreed to go to the Shanghai market, Qian Xuan poked Brother Xun with his elbow and said, "Both of us are going, tell me whether you are going or not?"
The story of the Chinese people's hometown is very important. Brother Xun has been out for a long time, so of course he wants to go home and visit, but the threshold in his heart can never be crossed. When he returns home, he stares at him with big eyes and small eyes. That is a big embarrassment. Shake it.
After shaking his head, he drank alone.
But Qian Xuan was so worried that he refused to give up and asked, "Go home and see what's wrong? Don't you miss your mother?"
"I'm so annoying, you two have left. I'll stay and look after the store." Brother Xun became irritated by the question, and became more and more impatient. Then he lit up a cigarette, took a deep puff, and kept silent.
language.
Qian Xuan's mouth crackled, and he said to Brother Xun: "You are a person who only knows how to escape. Whenever something happens, you bury your head in the sand, like an ostrich. Is escaping useful? There are some things you can't do
You can escape for a while, but you cannot escape for life. I have told you many times that people should look forward and learn to accept it, but it is better for you to live in the circle you have drawn. When I got married at that time, it was my brother who made the decision.
Aren’t they the same as you?”
Brother Xun glared sideways, snorted coldly, and said, "Same? How come it's the same? You and Xu Wanzhen were childhood sweethearts. We never met once before we got married."
Qian Xuan retorted with a loud voice: "That is also your choice. If you resist with all your strength, who can still force you to get married? If you regret it now, regretting it is useless?"
Brother Xun was speechless by Qian Xuan.
Qian Xuan's father was a former official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Qing Dynasty. He had a son at the age of 62. He passed away when Qian Xuan was twelve years old. Because Mr. Qian was ill in his later years, he originally wanted to entrust Qian Xuan to his brother Qian, who was 34 years older than him.
However, Qian Xun happened to be the ambassador abroad at the time and was not in the country, so Mr. Qian entrusted Qian Xuan to be raised by his friend Xu Yuanzhao, who was also Mrs. Qian's family.
However, Qian Xuan refused to marry Xu Wanzhen at first. At that time, the society was beginning to open up and he accepted new ideas. Qian Xuan did not want to accept an arranged marriage. He and Xu Wanzhen were not childhood sweethearts, although they lived under the same roof every day.
, but basically can’t see each other.
However, the eldest brother is like his father, and his father's destiny is like a mountain. Qian Xuan couldn't resist it, so he had to accept the marriage with tears. He felt extremely depressed. After the marriage, he lived for a while and found that Xu Wanzhen was really sweet.
You may not believe it, but Qian Xuan is still a loyal supporter of monogamy. Although Mrs. Qian is frail and sick and has been infertile for many years after marriage, Qian Xuan does not dislike it. Others persuade Qian Xuan to take a concubine to continue the relationship, but Qian Xuan
He resolutely refused to take concubines, devoted himself to conditioning Mrs. Qian's body, and eventually gave birth to three sons.
Qian Xuan continued to chase and fight: "I'm going to have a good chat with you today. Before we got married, we only met a few times. Who are we called childhood sweethearts? I went to his house when I was ten years old. What are we called childhood sweethearts? I
It was also strongly opposed at the time, okay?"
He Qi suddenly interrupted: "So De Qian is Jing Ze Yan Xiang?"
Brother Xun nodded, deeply convinced, and took a long drag on the cigarette, exhaling all the gloomy air.
"Hmph~~" Qian Xuan sneered and glanced at the two of them. One was a bachelor and the other was still a bachelor. He looked too lazy to say anything and said, "Huan Jingze Yanxiang? Do you know what fragrance is?"
What do you two bachelors know? Do you understand women?"
He Qi shook his head and said, "I just don't understand, so I'm asking you."
Brother Xun also moved his ears closer.
Qian Xuan picked up the empty wine glass, and He Qi immediately filled it up, took a sip, and whispered: "This woman is like a flower. Some flowers will bloom when they bloom, and some flowers will bloom."
But they were not open, so they were ignored and thought they were just grass. In fact, they were not.
Flowering may be caused by the wrong environment, lack of sunlight, or the flower blooms at night and cannot be seen during the day. Therefore, when facing these flowers, change the environment or allow the sun to bloom.
, move it out to bask in the sun, or watch her bloom at night."
"So, it's not that these flowers are not beautiful, it's just that they lack a pair of eyes to discover beauty."
It seemed to make sense, He Qinunu said: "You really understand!"
Although Brother Xun also felt that there was some truth to it, he couldn't help but sneer at him and said, "He eats hundreds of kilograms of oranges a year. Can you not understand?"
Qian Xuan clicked his tongue and said, "When I talk about peaches to you, you insist on talking about plums. It's really boring."
He Qidao: "But I think what De Qian said makes sense."
Brother Xun threw the cigarette butt low, stamped it out with his foot, turned around and said with a smile: "You eat hundreds of kilograms of oranges a year, you think it makes sense."
Qian Xuan was too lazy to talk to Brother Xun. He was very satisfied with He Qi's attitude of asking for advice humbly and said: "I will introduce you to him another day, and the incense of your old He family will have to continue."
He Qi suddenly became alert, shook his head and said: "Deqian, I don't want what you used."
"Haha!!" Brother Xun couldn't stop laughing.
Qian Xuan rubbed his neck and argued with a red face: "Am I that kind of person?"
Brother Xun glanced sideways and sneered: "You dare to say that you are not?"
He Qi suddenly understood and couldn't stop laughing. Brother Xun was the victim coming forward to give his explanation.
The moon gradually settled on the top of the holly tree, and the night became darker. The small courtyard under the shining lights was covered with a layer of smoked gauze, quiet and warm. Three glasses and two glasses of light wine, one jar.
After drinking half a jar, the interest of the few people did not diminish, and they continued to chat and talk, and then they talked about the previous visit to Mr. Taiyan's place.
Qian Xuandao: "Brother Yubai, you said the other day that the Chinese people are in urgent need of a comprehensive ideological reform, and that vernacular Chinese can be used to reform the Chinese people's thoughts. How do you say this?"
Brother Xun frowned. He thought about it carefully and found that he didn't find such a thing. He hurriedly said: "When did he say that? Didn't he mean punctuation marks?"
Qian Xuan rolled his eyes at Brother Xun, twisted a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and said firmly: "What he was originally going to say that day was in vernacular, but I deliberately diverted it, and then he said the punctuation. If you don't believe me, ask yourself.
he?"
Brother Xun looked at He Qi.
He Qi said: "Yeah! I really wanted to speak in vernacular at that time, but I forgot that in front of Mr. Taiyan, I almost made a mistake."
Qian Xuandao: "There is no one now, please tell me carefully."
He Qidao: "In fact, everything that needs to be said has been said. It is a cliché that a class cannot only focus on top students. If you want to improve the average score, you can only improve the results of poor students with a large base. The effect will be significant. There are 400 million people in our country.
99% of them are poor students who want to improve national power
, the only way to improve people's ideological consciousness is to first improve it. How to improve it? It is to use vernacular, easy to understand, and clear at a glance. Don't be afraid of your jokes. There are some articles now that clearly explain things that can be explained in one sentence, but they have to pay attention to rhyming.
, blindly pursue gorgeous rhetoric, but I
It’s hard to read. Some classical Chinese texts have eight allusions in one sentence. I can’t understand them at all, let alone ordinary people. What age are we in now? If we don’t set the threshold for reading, we have long been out of date.
Yes. When I was in the West, people had already started
Basic universal education, children can study for free, and the government spends money on compulsory education. Although we can’t do it, we can at least lower the threshold for literacy. A few days ago, I wanted to send my dog to school after the surgery.
, I just asked about it, and guess what?"
The more Qian Xuan listened, the brighter his eyes became. He had already realized these problems and subconsciously answered: "What's wrong?"
He Qidao: "I went to the elementary school and looked around, but they told me that they would not accept me because Gouwa had missed the school entrance age. I tried hard to persuade him, but he finally agreed, but Gouwa was thirteen years old and had to be admitted.
Go to a higher elementary school. Gouwa has never been to school for a day and can’t read a single big character. Isn’t it a waste of time to go to a higher elementary school? I asked again if I can let Gouwa go to a junior elementary school. He should start from the basics and at least know the characters first.
Well. But people said again that they all differentiate based on age here, and they don’t care whether you have a foundation or not.”
"Finally, someone suggested that I go to a private school to ask. I went to ask again, and when I looked there, I saw that the old gentleman inside was enlightening his children. The method was still using the fanqie method. You say "Lu" and "Langgu"
Let’s try to spell out, but the problem is how old are the children before they are enlightened, and they don’t know the word “langgu”, so what should I do? I can only memorize it by rote, which is too difficult for children.”
Brother Xun asked doubtfully: "Isn't that how we all came here?"
Qian Xuan also wondered: "Yes, we all came here like this."
"English has a total of 26 letters. Each letter has a special phonetic notation, which is divided into five vowels and twenty-one consonants. As long as you remember the 26 phonetic symbols, even if you encounter an unfamiliar word, you can still pronounce it.
It can be spelled out using phonetic symbols. But if we use the anti-cut method, how many words do we need to remember?" He Qi asked: "Can't we use this method in English?"
Qian Xuandao: "Do you have a good idea?"
"Just wait." He Qizi sneaked into the room, took a pen and paper, and wrote a set of Chinese pinyin on the spot, and demonstrated it several times, which made Qian Xuan, a phonetic expert, astonished and felt like he had found a treasure.
, holding the piece of paper and couldn't put it down, and hurriedly asked: "Where did you come from?"
He Qi patted his forehead, feeling dizzy, secretly thinking that he had drunk too much wine, something bad happened, and he was speechless for a moment.
Brother Xun keenly noticed: "It seems not comprehensive, some words cannot be read."
This happened to be the time for He Qi to get off the steps, get off the donkey along the slope, and said: "I just figured it out on my own, and I haven't perfected it yet."
Despite this, Qian Xuan still finds it incredible, because this literacy method has a clear idea and initial outline. It is much simpler than the phonetic notation method that was shelved after several years of quarrels, and is more suitable for promotion and application.
Qian Xuan carefully collected the piece of paper and said solemnly: "Brother Yubai, you have been thinking about it recently. If this literacy method is perfected, it will be more useful than your punctuation marks. It will benefit the country."
A great thing for the people.”
He Qi nodded in agreement, her heart suddenly relaxed, and finally the matter was settled.
There was something that Brother Xun had never figured out, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Yubai, you just said that we need to reform the people's thinking in order to cure the disease and govern the country. It's like a bowl of good medicine. Here are the medicinal ingredients."
"The fire is there, it's in vernacular, what are the medicinal materials in the medicine jar?"
Qian Xuan immediately took it and blurted out: "It's the science and democracy proposed by Cheng Zhongpu! Cheng Zhongpu said in the article that the reason why modern Europe was superior to other races was the rise of science, not because of human rights, but because of the boat and the car.
Two Wheels... If our countrymen want to escape from the age of ignorance and are ashamed of being a simple people, they should urgently catch up and attach equal importance to science and human rights."
Brother Xun asked again: "You say that, but how do you do it?"
Qian Xuan was speechless and said indignantly: "Of course I want to write articles to awaken those ignorant, superstitious and blindly obedient people, such as arranged marriages, keeping taboos, binding feet, not letting girls go to school and all other unreasonable things."
Brother Xun looked at He Qi and said, "Is that right?"
He Qi nodded.
Tonight's drink opened up a new world for Qian Xuan. While he was still not satisfied, he did not forget to encourage Brother Xun, saying: "Yancai, go to Shanghai with us. Cheng Zhongpu now has medicinal materials but no..."
After boiling it with fire, we gave it to him. Didn't you always say that this country is hopeless? Now that the medicine is available, how dare you not move?"
Brother Xun was smoking a cigarette and thinking about something. He didn't say whether to go or not.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the big red door. The sound of "bang bang bang" was unusually harsh. It was very strange to visit late at night. The three of them looked at each other and felt that it was unusual. They looked at the door involuntarily. He Qi stood up and prepared to go.
I went to open the door and Qian Xuan followed him immediately.
After the door bolt was removed, He Qi pushed half the door open, and what came into view was a fat figure with a big belly. It turned out to be Ju Chang, a person He Qi was very reluctant to see.
