There is a thick stack of books on the coffee table, including textbooks from junior high school to high school given by Zeng Yaqian, math Olympiad books given by Zhou Qianqian, economics books given by the old professor, and some books from Zuoqiu a few days ago.

A copy of "The Crowd" was taken out of the room, which is a book about group psychology.

When I was in the mountains, my grandfather let himself read those yellowed Four Books and Five Classics. When I was young, I thought everyone could read them. Later, especially after arriving in Donghai, I realized that not everyone nowadays wants to read those few books.

Book.

Even now, Lu Shanmin still doesn't understand why his grandfather insisted on reading those Four Books and Five Classics by himself.

After arriving in Donghai, for the life plan designed by Zhang Li, for the promise to Yaqian, in order to live up to the old professor's expectations, and to become the person Zuoqiu thought he should be, he picked up books again and picked up these books that he had never experienced before.

Books I have read.

Lu Shanmin stared blankly at the books on the coffee table. For his own sake, after thinking about it, maybe it was just out of curiosity about the university, or maybe he just wanted to take a peek at what the university Bai Ling went to was like.

Lu Shanmin has always thought that scholars are people who look up to them. It feels like they know everything, understand everything, and are right. After coming to Donghai, Lu Shanmin gradually discovered that scholars are not as tall as they imagined.

On the road, they also make mistakes, they are also confused, and many of them are even worse than the people in the mountains.

But Zuo Qiu is different. He is the most powerful scholar Lu Shanmin has ever seen. He is a top student at Tianjing University, which is the highest university in China and the temple of scholars. Indeed, Zuo Qiu is also the smartest scholar Lu Shanmin has ever seen.

No matter how complicated and difficult things happen, he can always come up with the most perfect way to solve them, as if there is nothing difficult in the world that he can't think of a solution to. At the same time, he is also a very sentimental person. The book on the desk in the bar

On the title page of "Traditional Records", every time I open it, I can feel a throbbing feeling in my heart.

But it was such a scholar that Lu Shanmin discovered that he was not perfect, and not all of his theories were right. He even felt that he was wrong. Reporting Huang Liang was a decision that a three-year-old child in the mountains could make without hesitation, but he

There are so many reasons. Yes, in Lu Shanmin's view, his principles are just cowardly reasons and excuses.

Although Lu Shanmin now regrets that what he said just now was too harsh, he does not think that what he said was angry. This scholar who is at the top has read so many books and has lost his backbone and courage.

Throughout the afternoon, Lu Shanmin just sat blankly, not opening the book on the table, until Zhang Li came back from get off work.

Zhang Li often checks Lu Shanmin's study. She is very satisfied with Lu Shanmin's recent performance. In less than half a year, he was able to understand the entire mathematics of junior high school.

She felt very gratified. She was a person who had read books and knew very well that learning mathematics requires talent more than any other subject. Lu Shanmin was able to learn it through self-study and was able to delve into deeper levels of Mathematical Olympiad, which surprised her even more.

It shows that Lu Shanmin is a very smart person.

Of course, there are many smart people in this world, and there are also many people who can endure hardships and stand hard work, but there are far fewer people who can combine the two.

Zhang Li believed that as long as Lu Shanmin continued to study like this, he would be able to truly establish himself in the East China Sea sooner or later, and it would not be impossible to even do better than her, a college student.

Normally when Zhang Li comes back from get off work, Lu Shanmin has already gone to work in the bar. When I got home today, I found Lu Shanmin still at home, sitting on the sofa in a daze, not reading a book, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Zhang Li put down her bag and sat next to Lu Shanmin.

"What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in thinking."

Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said, "I had a quarrel with Zuoqiu."

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, "What do you two grown men have to argue about?"

Lu Shanmin turned around and asked, "Sister Li, what do you think of Zuoqiu?"

Zhang Li thought for a while, "Zuoqiu is knowledgeable about the past and present, and is very talented. I always feel that there are some unknown secrets hidden under his madness. Generally speaking, he is a very good person."

After a pause, he asked again, "Why are you quarreling?"

Lu Shanmin smiled awkwardly, "We have differences in certain concepts."

Zhang Li did not ask specifically, but thought for a while and said: "Mountain people, people should be good at learning and absorbing the advantages of others. Zuoqiu looks sloppy and arrogant, but since he was able to get into Tianjing University, he was once a university student."

If you have been around a leader, there must be something special about him. I think there is no harm in listening to his opinions."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "I know this, and now I regret that I went too far."

Zhang Li smiled and said, "If you think it's too much, just go and apologize to him. A man should be able to bend and stretch without being embarrassed."

Lu Shanmin grinned and said, "Thank you, Sister Li."

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Sister Li, apart from being a source of capital for gaining a foothold in society, what other role does studying play?"

Zhang Li frowned slightly and thought for a long time, "Actually, most people go to school to find a good job and make more money. At least when I was studying at that time, most teachers and parents taught me this way.

Yes, I remember when I was studying, there was a wise saying, 'Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid of traveling around the world'."

After a pause, he added: "Later, when I entered society, I discovered that this is indeed the case. The vast majority of people do not study for any ideals and beliefs. To put it in a sentence that makes scholars feel ashamed, 'Studying is just for making money.'" and smiled.

He added: "In fact, today's scholars may not feel ashamed of this sentence, because they can say it boldly without blushing and not feeling it is such a shameful thing."

Zhang Li took a deep breath, "But I think reading should also have other functions. I don't dare to talk about ideals and beliefs, but at least you should read some truths. Reading is sensible, understanding others, and understanding yourself. These are all

It’s very important, but it’s easier said than done.”

Lu Shanmin frowned and sighed, "As a scholar like Zuoqiu, after reading so many books, I found that some truths are not as clear as those in the mountains. Can reading really make sense?"

Zhang Li smiled and said, "Scholars are human beings first, and they will not be perfect. If you regard them as gods, you will be very disappointed when you find that they are not perfect."

"Mountain people, you have been from the mountains to the East China Sea for a long time. You should be able to find that the principles in the city are much more complicated than those in the mountains."
