"Excuse me, how long do we have until we can get to the city center station?"
He Shiling looked at the conductor walking over and asked.
"Traffic jam for half an hour. Without traffic jam, twenty minutes."
"Okay, thank you." He Shiling glanced at his watch. It was now 16:15, which was not too late.
After twenty minutes, I could sleep for a while. Suddenly I thought of that person's reminder and smiled. Well, let's take a look at the scenery outside the window.
Looking at the changing scenery outside the window, this place was different from the road she had passed before. There were no large expanses of fields and crops that came into view. Instead, there was a road that curved forward from time to time. The roadside was covered with slightly goose-yellow trees.
Weeping willows, looking through the willows, are neat orchards, which look very well-organized and layered.
The scenery in front of me really echoes Li Yu's words: the willow silk is long, the spring rain is thin, and the flowers are leaking.
The car drives along in the middle of such a road, occasionally stopping for someone to get on.
When the scenery outside the car window began to change to the same type of street lamps that were replaced one after another, the road outside the window gradually became wider. There began to be more cars, but the speed of the bus slowed down, almost moving forward.
status.
It seems that they have already left Yunling County and are going to Jingyun City. He Shiling took a look at his watch and saw 16:30.
He adjusted his sitting posture slightly and looked around the car.
There were no voices or laughter in the car, everyone leaned quietly on their seats.
Light music was flowing slowly in the carriage. After listening to the melody carefully, He Shiling laughed. It turned out to be mountains and flowing water! Thinking of the warm smile of someone in front of the platform and the series of things that happened in the morning, I couldn't help but
I glanced at the seat on the left.
I found that the seat on the left was already occupied.
Thin-framed vermilion glasses, slightly curly brown waist-length hair, combed smoothly behind the head, revealing a smooth forehead, fair skin, and a thin vermilion leather bag strap extending from the shoulder to the knee.
At this moment, she was flipping through the book on her lap very attentively.
He Shiling glanced at it inadvertently and was surprised to find that it was an English version of the reading material? She couldn't help but take a second look at the page:
“it was a rimy morning, and ver seen the damp lying the outsidemy little window, if some goblin had been crying there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief.…”
"Great expectations!" He Shiling said in a low voice.
That is Dickens's "Great Expectations", a work I just finished reading during the winter vacation with the help of the Oxford Bilingual Dictionary.
"Have you read it?" The man tilted his head, his eyes were big, and he smiled crookedly, giving a very friendly feeling.
"I've seen it a little bit." He Shiling smiled, "Sorry to bother you."
"Is it also in English?" the man asked with a smile, tapping the page in his hand.
"Yeah." He Shiling nodded.
"Oh, great! Can we chat for a few words?" The man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
"Okay." He Shiling smiled and responded, "This is the third chapter you are reading. Little Pip stole food from his sister's house and was going to rescue the fugitives he met in a rural cemetery. So far, five characters have appeared.
Little Pip, brother-in-law Joe, my sister, the fugitive, and a young man."
"Not good, you spoiled it." The man smiled.
"It shouldn't affect the mood of watching it, right?" He Shiling laughed. The man looked like he was about thirty years old. His clothes were fashionable but stable, which was pleasing to the eye.
"How can you see it?" The man smiled, his big eyes bent into a beautiful crescent shape.
"This book, sister, should have been read." He Shiling pointed to the pages of the book. The book could be seen to have been read. She looked at the person in front of her and smiled. Of course, you can't read the book unless you borrow it.
It could also be borrowing, "Those who can read in the car must have read the Chinese version a long time ago."
"Haha." The man laughed and put the book in front of his face. After a moment, he put it down again and looked at He Shiling, "Very good, such a smart little girl. Where do you study?"
"Yunling Middle School." He Shiling smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, sister, she is also a person with a bright heart and a bright heart."
"Yunling High School?" Zhu Yan opened her eyes wide and looked He Shiling up and down. "It's very good. I heard that the students in this school are pretty good. When I see you today, I believe that Yunling's reputation is well-deserved."
"Sister, I'm over-praised," He Shiling smiled, this person was very good at chatting, "Yunling's teachers and classmates are very good, there are many outstanding students, I'm just an ordinary one."
"Really? If there is a chance in the future, I must get to know him well." Zhu Yan smiled, looked at He Shiling, closed the book in her hand, and unexpectedly met such an interesting girl, "It depends on the situation, there must be one
How can we stand in the end? Let’s talk about this book.”
"Okay." He Shiling responded with a smile and glanced out the window. He was about to enter the city. There were many cars on the road and they drove very slowly. It did take a while.
She turned back and looked at the person in front of her, and found that the person was looking at her with a smile and said nothing.
Are you waiting for her to speak? He Shiling pointed at herself.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhu Yan spoke: "I'm waiting for you."
"Where should I start?" He Shiling smiled, "It was already a spoiler."
"Haha" Zhu Yan laughed, "Let's have a brief chat from the perspective of appreciating the works."
"Okay. Then I'll do my best." He Shiling smiled and looked down at the closed book, "Compared with Dickens's previous works, this book has a weaker sense of humor and a stronger sense of depression.
It's a bleak scene, that's how it opens, and the story begins in a churchyard."
"Hmm?" Zhu Yan smiled and gestured for her to continue talking.
"Although the ending seems optimistic. Many years later, Pip returns and reunites with Estella, whom he loved when he was young. However, more than ten years have passed. One has experienced many vicissitudes, and the other has been a widow for many years. Both of them have left painful experiences.
The imprint of the book, the cruelty of life cannot be avoided," He Shiling took a deep breath, "It has a strong sense of sadness. Perhaps this is the power of the author's critical realism."
"After reading it, I can't help but feel lucky to be living in this era." He Shiling paused for a moment, sighing in her heart. After reading it during the winter vacation, she felt depressed for a long time because of the tragic color in the book.
"Yes, this is his work in his later years. At that time, he was experiencing great pain in marriage and relationship." Zhu Yan nodded, "When you were ten years old and now, your understanding of the world is different, and some concepts will also occur.
Changing. As the author grows older and has a deeper understanding of society, his thoughts are also undergoing changes. This book also expresses his views on life and human nature by describing the ups and downs of Pip's three stages of life.
Views, but he still praises the valuable character of the little people at the bottom of society."
"Yes. Although it is depressing, the theme of love runs through the gratifying article." He Shiling nodded thoughtfully, "Among these characters, I like Qiao better, with his honest and somewhat blunt character.
Here, he has a selfless and simple love for little Pip, and it is this love that leads Pip to gradually return to his conscience in the constant inner struggle between right and wrong. Joe himself and his second wife also live a happy life.
"
"Whatever you give to life, life will give back to you in the same way, one day in the future." He Shiling paused, "Qiao is a person with valuable qualities and sincere emotions. To be a person like Qiao
Such people keep themselves clean, take care of themselves, and try their best to help those in need around them. Even if it is a waning moon, it will still use its not-so-bright moonlight to illuminate people walking at night."
Zhu Yan took another look at the girl in front of her. She was a handsome girl with clear and spiritual eyes. She had a slight smile on her face. Against the background of the goose-yellow coat, she looked even more fresh and refined.
It looks very comfortable.
Her voice was clear and unhurried, and her words were calm and calm. Suddenly, she remembered a sentence: Judging from her words and deeds, she is not mediocre. Is this just an ordinary student in Yunling?
If so, then Yunling Middle School is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and is indeed on the verge of overtaking Lingnuo Middle School. If not, then this girl who humbles herself as an "extremely ordinary student" should be the same in Yunling
A "person".
Suddenly I remembered a few students that my friend Ding Kailing once mentioned. I wonder how "excellent" such students should be.
Zhu Yan thought to herself, but it's almost time, she is already on the way to Yunling, and she will slowly discover these "babies".
