The business of this bookstore is pretty good. Zhang Zhong did not linger in front of the "Zhang Zhong Special Zone", but took Pengpeng around. Children still prefer books with pictures. This is true for Pengpeng, and so is Li Ying.
so.
Of course, at this time, Zhang Zhong was also interested in children's literature with pictures. He also wanted to know more about how other children's books were written and how the pictures in them were matched.
In fact, he does not need to be responsible for these things at all. He only needs to hand over the text and pictures to the company, and someone will naturally help with everything.
But those paintings were all painted by Peng Peng, and Zhang Zhong still wanted to put more thought into them.
Pengpeng held a fairy tale book and read it very seriously, but Zhang Zhong knew she was pretending because she didn't recognize a few of the characters on it.
Li Ying is one grade higher than Peng Peng, but she doesn't know many words. She also reads very seriously, but she is not reading, but more like looking for words.
"This character, I know this character, it's a person." Li Ying pointed to one of the characters and said.
Pengpeng stretched out his head to take a look, nodded arrogantly, "Well, what you said is right."
Zhang Zhong stretched his head and looked, and it was indeed a human character.
In fact, Pengpeng can read very few words, even less than other children of the same age. Take Li Ying for example, although she cannot read stories fluently, she can recognize some simple words, and some sentences are simpler for her
Can also understand it.
But Pengpeng couldn't do it. Zhang Zhong didn't do any specific calculations, but she definitely didn't know more than fifty characters, and they were all extremely simple characters, such as one to nine.
Zhang Zhong never deliberately taught her to read, and the school did not teach her this knowledge. Some parents were more anxious and taught her early. Parents like Zhang Zhong who "don't care" basically just let nature take its course.
I heard that some children can recognize thousands of words in kindergarten.
Zhang Zhong thinks there is no need to learn it so early. People say that there are more Chinese characters, but there are only so many commonly used ones, and it won’t take long to recognize them all after entering elementary school.
Moreover, language ability has nothing to do with how many words they can recognize. Many children recognize words through mechanical memory and do not understand the language well enough.
Pengpeng and the others were reading picture books, while Zhang Zhong wandered around the bookstore.
While walking around, a little boy caught Zhang Zhong's attention. This little boy was probably about ten years old, and what he was holding in his hand was a copy of "Dune".
In the little boy's hands, the thickness of the book became even more obvious. He couldn't even hold the book up with both hands, so he could only bend his knees and put the book on his knees.
The little boy was reading very seriously, sitting in the corner with a book in his arms, as if he and the book in front of him were the only ones in the world.
Zhang Zhong stood aside and glanced at the opened page. The story was progressing until Jessica discovered the mark left by Hawat and a message on the notepad.
When he saw this paragraph, the little boy's eyebrows were furrowed, as if something was bothering him.
Zhang Zhong was secretly surprised. Unlike Peng Peng's pretense, this child was actually reading the book seriously, and it was obvious that he could indeed understand it.
Most children of this age may not recognize many of the words in the book, let alone such a complex storyline and many seemingly confusing settings in this book.
Although he was surprised, Zhang Zhong was not prepared to disturb his reading. However, before Zhang Zhong could walk away, the little boy raised his head and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
His voice is still a little childish, but his tone of voice is anything but childish, just like a little adult.
Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "I just saw you watching "Dune". I was curious and came over to take a look. Did I disturb you?"
"Do you think a kid like me can't understand "Dune"?" the little boy asked.
Hearing the little boy's question, Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Well, it is indeed because of this that I came to see you."
Seeing Zhang Zhong admit it directly, the little boy was a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment and said, "You are different from others, you are very honest."
"You like this book?"
"I've only read a little bit, and I can't say I like it, but I don't hate it either," the little boy said, and then laughed again, "I like the author of this book very much, so I think I should also like this book.
"
"Why do you like him?"
"Because his other books are good."
"Well, the reason is very good." Zhang Zhong smiled and nodded, then glanced at his daughter's position. Pengpeng had put down the picture book in his hand, as if ready to leave, and then said to the little boy, "I won't disturb you.
Goodbye."
"Goodbye? You must be a stranger, and this should be the last time we meet. People always like to say goodbye when parting, but goodbye sometimes always means never seeing each other again. The world is small, but sometimes it is very small.
Big, you are just a passer-by in my life. Even when I look back on the past when I am old, I may not be able to remember that a person like you existed in my life. The same is true for you.
.”
Zhang Zhong, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly laughed. It was really interesting to hear such a child say such a thing.
He looked at the little boy, and the little boy looked at him.
He smiled and said, "Goodbye is just an expectation and a courtesy. It has no meaning in itself, but if one day we are lucky enough to meet again, then this goodbye at this moment will also have meaning. And goodbye
, it’s not just a face-to-face goodbye, if one day, the wind from the south blows to my hometown, and I smell your breath in the air, or maybe at a certain moment, your appearance flashes through my mind, this
It's all goodbye. My child, there is no need to be demanding on time, and there is no need to be demanding on yourself. Life is casual and calm. I look forward to the moment when we see each other again."
Seeing Hu Huifang waving to him at the door, Zhang Zhong finally said, "Goodbye."
The little boy sat there blankly, looking at Zhang Zhong's back, he said slightly, "Goodbye."
Zhang Zhong was walking towards the door when suddenly a man ran over in front of him. The man stared at Zhang Zhong carefully for a while and said excitedly, "Are you Teacher Zhang Zhong?"
…
Zhang Zhong was stunned for a moment. He was wearing such big sunglasses, could this guy recognize him?
But now that he recognized it, he didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Hello."
"It's really you! Teacher Zhang, I like you very much, my son also likes you very much, and our whole family likes you."
"Oh, by the way, my son is right there. He really likes your books. Even though he is young, he has basically read all of your books."
Zhang Zhong turned around and saw that this person was referring to the little boy just now.
