Before buying this book, Xu Wenxuan only knew about the book's title.
It's not that "The Ordinary World" hasn't been released without publicity, it's just that except for Zhang Zhong's book, which spent some effort on publicity last year, subsequent books have not been very showy in publicity.
However, the sentence in the postscript, "You can only always regard hard work as a necessity of life, even if there is no hope of harvest, you can continue to cultivate calmly" made Xu Wenxuan very touching.
Only when he reaches his age can he gradually feel the charm of this sentence.
When you are young, who doesn’t want to do something big?
Even farmers working in the fields often think about plowing more land and harvesting more crops. Everyone alive has their own vision, whether it is grand or small, but they are all indispensable.
.
However, only later will we realize that when people move forward, what is important is not what they can get in the end, but the process of continuous advancement.
As the book says, hard work can only always be regarded as a necessity of life.
Although he hasn't officially started reading yet, he has already somewhat understood the meaning of the words "ordinary world". This is the benefit of reading the postscript in advance.
With a smile, Xu Wenxuan turned to the first page and plunged into the sea that had begun to take shape.
…
Zhang Zhong received a message from Xu Yuhan and asked him if he had an appointment with her father.
It was an appointment made yesterday, and when he was about to tell Xu Yuhan about it, she asked first.
This meeting was, on the one hand, to keep in touch with each other, and on the other hand, Xu Wenxuan acted as the representative, and the two of them discussed the matter in person.
The time will be the day after tomorrow, and the location will be Hongyunlai Hotel.
Zhang Zhong also asked Xu Yuhan if he was going, and the answer was of course no.
After talking about this matter, Zhang Zhong asked again: "I want to write Spring Festival couplets at home, do you want to write a set for your home?"
"No, I'm afraid my dad can see it."
"Your father is a professor of philosophy and not a calligrapher. Can you tell?"
"Isn't this fear?"
"It doesn't matter. I can just change my writing style. Trust me, this time I write in block letters and it will be the same as what someone would type. I guarantee it won't be visible."
"If it's the same as the one printed by others, then I might as well buy a printed one."
"Why, you look down on our hyper-realism?"
"Don't be super realistic when writing. Isn't what you print out also written by someone else?"
"You're quite knowledgeable."
"Forget it, just write it. I guess my dad won't be able to tell." Xu Yuhan thought about it and changed her mind. Mainly because she felt that it was good to have a rewritten door couplet hanging on her door.
"Okay, I'll give it to you in the next two days. Oh, by the way, you won't be here until the Chinese New Year, and Pengpeng's paintings will fall behind."
"There is no way, we can't leave. Let her study by herself. You have to supervise her."
"Well, don't worry."
"Her basic skills will be strengthened starting next year."
"I don't understand this, so you have to come."
"Hands off, shopkeeper."
…
Zhang Zhong was chatting with Xu Yuhan. Pengpeng took a nap and walked to him with a pad, "Dad, I want to clear mines."
Zhang nodded and said, "Well, it's two forty now. You have to return it at ten past three."
"Yeah, dad, don't worry, I won't go over time."
"Well, Dad believes in you." Zhang Zhong helped her open the pad, but then he clicked on another software, set it up, and then handed the pad to her.
"Thank you, Dad." Taking the pad, Pengpeng left happily.
Half an hour later, Pengpeng came over with the pad in hand and said with an aggrieved look, "Dad, this pad suddenly broke. I was almost at the end of the line just now. Isn't this time good?"
Zhang Zhong took the pad, turned on the screen, and pointed at the time on it, "It's already three-fifteen, you've already timed out."
"Ah, why are you feeling better again?"
"Dad fixed it. Next time you play, you can't play for more than half an hour, otherwise the pad will still be broken. Do you understand? I'll forget it if you overtime for a few minutes this time. Next time you timeout, you have to start from the next time."
Buttoned.”
Pengpeng still couldn't figure out the situation, so he could only nod his head blankly, "Yeah, I understand."
"Okay, let's go draw."
"oh."
After Pengpeng left, Zhang opened the pad screen, looked at the software he had opened before, and smiled proudly.
This is a software that can control automatic sleep, and when it automatically sleeps, the screen is not black, but broken. If you don't know, you will definitely be shocked. Pengpeng may have been confused just now, and thought he had
The pad was broken, so she nodded whatever Zhang Zhong said.
When he gave the pad to Pengpeng just now, he set the sleep time for thirty-five minutes, leaving five minutes for Pengpeng. But of course this girl would not sleep when the time came as she had promised before.
Return the pad.
After putting the pad aside, Zhang Zhong told his parents and went out.
He wanted to go out and buy paper to write couplets on. There was only white rice paper at home, so of course he couldn’t make couplets.
That kind of paper was not available in ordinary stores, so he had to drive to the small commodity market to buy it.
When he arrived at the place, he bought some paper of various specifications, including five-character, seven-character, ordinary red corrugated paper, and paper with hot stamping patterns.
There were other things at home, but he also bought a bottle of gold powder.
Although he doesn't like writing with gold powder, writing with gold powder looks festive after all. He will write a copy later and show it to his parents so that they can choose.
After buying it, he was about to go back when he saw an acquaintance, Li Zhuo and his family.
He saw Li Zhuo, and Li Zhuo also saw him, and they waved to each other.
"Aunt Wu, you guys are out shopping." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"We're not celebrating the New Year. Let's get some New Year's goods in advance. By the way, Zhuo Zi is getting married. There are a lot of things I haven't bought yet, so I bought them together." Wu Haiying said with a smile, "What are you here to buy?"
Zhang Zhong lifted the bag in his hand and said, "Buy some Spring Festival couplet paper and go back and practice blindly. If you can read it, I won't buy Spring Festival couplets this year."
Li Zhuo smiled and said, "I feel a headache when I see you being so modest. I'll give my house a tidy look later and save me some money."
Wu Aiying scolded, "You kid, how much does a pair of couplets cost? Why bother Xiao Zhong?"
"It's okay, Aunt Wu. I'll send it to you later if I have a hand-me-down."
"He was joking with you, but you took it seriously."
"It's okay. Can your things fit in? How about I wait for you for a while?"
"No, I did some shopping before and there wasn't much. You should go back quickly."
"Okay, Aunt Wu, Li Zhuo, Xiaoyan, I'll go back first."
"Okay, slow down on the road." Seeing Zhang Zhong leave, Wu Aiying glanced at her daughter, who had been silent, and shook her head secretly.
