Chapter 251 A Bad Thing

Classes officially started on the second day after school started.

As I stepped into the critical point of senior year of high school, in order to leave enough review time for better preparation for the college entrance examination, teachers of various subjects started a round-the-clock bombardment mode. The knowledge points were compressed very severely, making it very difficult to study. The pace of the exams also became more and more intensive, with basically a small test every week.

Zhang Yunqi attended a technical secondary school in his previous life, and the knowledge he learned was quite different from that in high school. Compared with high school students of the same age, his only advantage may be his structured thinking logic and mature and stable mentality, which makes him less easily disturbed by the outside world. However, sometimes when he encounters some difficult knowledge points, he finds it very difficult to digest them and needs to study hard.

As a former top student, Zhang Yunqi has always felt that careful thinking is very important for learning. For example, in the Chinese textbook "Qinyuanchun·Changsha", our great man is the character, Hanqiu is the time, Juzizhoutou is the location, and the desire to see the mountains, water, and animals is the cause. The great man sighed and recalled the past when he and his classmates pretended to be cool. This is an event. Therefore, by unfolding layer by layer, we can quickly grasp the key points. The entire content of "Qinyuanchun·Changsha" can be summarized as, I - observed the scenery - recalled the past.

This learning method is universally applicable and can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, in fact, there are very few students who have the patience to do this. The vast majority of students are good at rote memorization and are too one-sided in their learning. When they get a simple answer to a question, they think they understand it and are satisfied. Why is there this answer? Is there a trace of the derivation of this answer in other questions? Can it be summarized that many students do not seek to understand it thoroughly, but this is precisely the core point of learning and thinking. We need to find ways to understand the essence of things in order to draw inferences from one example. Of course, it is also very important to preview in advance, associate memory, review immediately, make a wrong question book for intensive training, and manage your time and energy well.

Zhang Yunqi discusses and studies with Chu Jian every day.

Now that Chu Jian was sitting in the seat in front of Zhang Yunqi, it was very convenient for them to communicate. Because they were sitting close, she discovered that in addition to the content in class, Zhang Yunqi would read the newspaper every day. She even felt that his enthusiasm for reading current affairs was higher than learning textbook knowledge. He would often use the entire afternoon study class to read various domestic news newspapers.

At first, Chu Jian didn't quite understand it until later, when Zhang Yunqi told her that reading more newspapers could broaden her horizons. As a student, although she had no obligation to worry about national affairs, it was not good to limit her horizons to an ivory tower, to get happy or sad over trivial matters, and to have no idea what was happening in the country and the world.

These words left a deep impression on Chu Jian.

From then on, before evening self-study every day, she would reread all the newspapers that Zhang Yunqi had read, and cut out some good and meaningful content and paste them in her notebook.

Of course, the two would often discuss their opposing views. For example, when talking about Dream of the Red Chamber written by Cao Xueqin, the textbook said: This novel profoundly reflects the characteristics of the era of prosperity and decline of feudal society, exposes the selfishness and tyranny of the upper privileged class, and makes a powerful criticism of the decadent feudal class and the upper privileged society, making readers feel that it is bound to fall.

Zhang Yunqi felt that such discussions were misleading.

Chu Jian didn't understand: "How can this mislead students? Could the answer in the textbook be wrong?"

Zhang Yunqi said, "Let's not make a conclusion yet. Let's just talk about Dream of the Red Chamber. It's a classic love novel, a love novel with as many as 484 characters with names. Needless to say, when Cao Xueqin wrote it, the focus must be on the characters. But characters are complex. How can we simply oppose the characters to the point that injustice is evil? And using such stereotyped opposing characters to criticize the upper class, isn't this a cliché?"

"If you don't believe me, think about the first chapter of Dream of the Red Chamber. This is Cao Xueqin's preface. In it, he said that he recalled the girls in his family when he was young and felt that their knowledge and talent far exceeded his own. He couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed and didn't want their deeds to be forgotten. So there was this classic masterpiece. Therefore, this book is a love story that shows the beauty of women from all angles, and it is about the fate of the love-sick Jia Baoyu. It has nothing to do with criticizing the upper class. To take a step back, even if the textbook says that it criticizes the upper class, in real life, don't we all strive to become upper class? Isn't this contradictory? Will we go up or down in the future?"

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion after reading Dream of the Red Chamber. It doesn't mean it is necessarily correct. However, there is only one standard answer on our test paper. We must follow his thinking. Otherwise, it is incorrect and we will get zero points. I think this is wrong. This is exactly what I want to express. It is very important for our students to be independent and free in thought. We cannot be extreme and critical, but we cannot be blinded by one thing. Mainstream thinking is not the same as truth."

I was speechless when I first met Zhang Yunqi.

After thinking about it, she felt that what he said was profound.

In fact, regardless of whether the idea is right or not, such a collision of different ideas is very beneficial to learning and can make people see the other side of a thing.

Campus life is always calm, but once you immerse yourself in it, your days will be pure and fulfilling.

Zhang Yunqi likes physical education class. He can play badminton with Chu Jian and Ji Ling. However, his skills are not very good, so Ji Ling always despises him. But every time he plays basketball, Ji Ling will cheer him on. Although he is crazy, he looks smart and bright, which often makes boys look at him sideways. However, she never takes other people's eyes to heart.

Probably just do whatever you want.

During a break in the morning that day, Zhang Yunqi and Wang Xiaokai were chatting in the corridor basking in the sun. Several girls, including Li Yufei, Lin Xueqing, Yu Qingqing and Xiao Xuemei, were also there. Xiao Xuemei was the duty monitor. According to reliable information she had received, the school would organize a tree planting activity on Arbor Day next week.

This made Kaizi and Weige very excited, because the tree planting activity took place in the mountainous area of ​​Jinping Mining Township, Fengyang County. The place was prosperous because of the rich production of metal mines such as copper, zinc, lead, and tin, but the environment was very harsh, pollution was serious, and the mountain ridges were barren and desolate. Of course, this was not the point for them. The point was that Jinping Mining Township was quite far away from the city, and they had to take a car to get there, which was enough for them to play for a day.

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically when Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly ran over and shouted, "Boss Zhang, something big has happened!"

Zhang Yunqi was puzzled: "What's the big deal?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang immediately said: "Someone is chasing your sister!"

Zhang Yunqi wanted to vomit blood: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "Oh my!" "Just now I went to the store to buy Jianlibao and ran into your sister Chunlan. Look who I saw her with?"

At this point, Tian Zhuangzhuang paused for a moment, and when the girls' attention was attracted, he stretched out his tone and said, "She was with a boy, and she even bought him a lot of things with her own money. Tsk tsk, I can't describe the scene, with so many bags and so small. Based on my many years of experience in the love field, it goes without saying that your sister and that boy definitely had sex."

Several girls couldn't help laughing, even Li Yufei turned her head to look at Zhang Yunqi with a smile on her face.

Lin Xueqing said with a smile: "It seems that the younger students nowadays are more open-minded than us."

Xiao Xuemei patted Zhang Yunqi on the shoulder: "What's wrong, Zhang Yunqi? Your sister has already taken the lead in dating. It seems you need to work harder." Zhang Yunqi almost died with a smile on his face.

He didn't know what to say about this matter. If he said anything, it would just be teased by the girls as if it were gossip. In fact, he didn't take this matter too seriously. He knew that Chunlan was such a sensible girl and would never do anything out of line.

After the bell rings, go back to the classroom to continue the class.

Nothing happened the whole morning, until during the break at the football field, Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was standing in front of Zhang Yunqi, looked around and suddenly became as excited as a monkey: "That's the guy! Boss Zhang, the guy who picked up your sister."

Wang Xiaokai came over and asked: "Where is it?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang pointed to a line of boys in the first-year high school group on the left: "That's the one, see? The tall one standing at the back, wearing a black sweater."

Zhang Yunqi squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Tian Zhuangzhuang's finger. He soon found the young man in the black sweater, who was wearing glasses, looked good, tall, and had short hair. The overall impression he gave was okay, but he kept his head tilted, which made him look unconfident. Moreover, his sweater was very old, and he was wearing a pair of tattered Liberation shoes on his feet. It seemed that his family situation was not very good.

Tian Zhuangzhuang rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Boss Zhang, after school this afternoon, do you want to find a place to stop this guy and beat him up?"

Zhang Yunqi was puzzled: "Why?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang said: "Is he dating your sister?"

Zhang Yunqi was too lazy to pay attention to this little idiot.

He turned around and looked in the line of girls next to him, and soon saw Chunlan standing in front. In fact, he was always very proud of his sister. Now, as she grew older, the girl had grown up, becoming more and more beautiful, and she also knew how to dress herself up. In addition, she was a top student, so it was normal for boys to admire and like her.

Zhang Yunqi didn't know if Chunlan's early love was true. He could only believe half of what Tian Zhuangzhuang said. But if it was true, then whether Chunlan was admired or liked by others, or she knew how to admire and like others, it shouldn't be considered a bad thing. After all, youth only comes once, and love only comes once. If you don't know how to cherish it, time will not wait for you. Many wonderful things are gone and can never be found again.

In short, Zhang Yunqi has no power and is unwilling to regard this kind of feeling as a scourge, exaggerate it, and strangle it in the cradle. Of course, he is also worried that the boy who likes Chunlan is not mature enough and has crossed the line. After all, liking someone is one thing, but keeping a distance at this impulsive age is necessary.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunqi felt it necessary to find an opportunity to talk to the boy. This was not because he wanted to teach the boy a lesson in a condescending manner as Chunlan's brother, but if he did not take precautions in advance and his mother knew about it, the boy would not end up well and Chunlan would be in a difficult situation.

After the break, Zhang Yunqi said to Wang Xiaokai, who was walking and looking around for beautiful women, "Kaizi, do me a favor."

"What?"

"Find someone to find out about that boy's situation."

"Then give me some money."

"What the hell?"

"It costs money to do things! Boss Zhang, I'm your free laborer, but you have to treat people to food and drinks. You know I'm a poor guy."

"How many?"

"Ten dollars."

Zhang Yunqi gave a hundred-dollar bill.

Wang Xiaokai was grinning so hard holding the banknotes that his mouth was crooked. He pounded his chest loudly and said, "Don't worry, Boss Zhang. I promise to complete this task perfectly."

Although it was not stated explicitly, Wang Xiaokai knew who the boy Zhang Yunqi was talking about was. For an old bird like him who had been wandering around Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School for four years, it was not difficult to find out about a few people. Even if some pervert wanted to know what color underwear the school beauty liked to wear, as long as he was willing to pay, he would make sure to find out everything.

Early the next morning, as soon as Zhang Yunqi arrived in the classroom, Wang Xiaokai ran to his desk excitedly and said directly: "That boy is called Wang Jinshan, and he is from the same hometown as you. He is from Longwan Town, Fengyang County, and he is a boarding student at the No. 1 Middle School in the city."

Zhang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood what was going on, although he was not sure yet.

Zhang Yunqi looked up and asked, "Anything else?"

Wang Xiaokai tapped the desk with his fingers and whispered, "Do you know? After the evening study session last night, Wang Jinshan was hit by a club and beaten by someone with his head covered."
