There is a banner hanging
There is a banner hanging in Grandpa's study, which says "cook the book" two vigorous and powerful characters. Xiao Hong felt very strange: books can only be read, how can they be cooked? One day, Grandpa had just finished writing an article and was sitting in a swivel chair sipping tea. Xiao Hong pointed to the banner and asked grandpa: "How can the book be boiled?" If the book is boiled in the pot, it will not be ruined." Grandpa smiled: "The book is spiritual food, since it is food, how can not cook it?" Cooked, eat down to digest and absorb wow!" Grandpa saw little red puzzled, then went on to say: "All the handed down works and exquisite poetry are not thousands of thousands of Lu, word and sentence" boiled "out. Wang Anshi, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, in order to "cook" a good poem, changed the "spring breeze to the south bank of the river" first to "spring breeze and across the south bank of the river", still not satisfied, repeatedly thinking, carefully "cook", and finally changed to "spring breeze and green river South bank". A "green" word, the whole sentence brightens, and becomes a wonderful sentence through the ages. Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, often read books repeatedly when he was a child, and he must read the book thoroughly. In fact, this is "cooking books". In this way, he found it easy to write poems. So he said, "Read thousands of books, write like God." We learn Chinese, good articles should also be so "cooked". Otherwise, it will be difficult to learn Chinese well." Grandpa's words let little red suddenly enlightened. Xiao Hong thought: how should I 'cook the book'? I'm gonna start with the Chinese book. The text of the book are model models, every morning, read aloud several times, carefully taste, how interesting ah! In this way, you can not only feel the emotion of the article, but also remember the wonderful words and sentences... So many benefits! I have more words in my stomach, will I still worry about speaking and writing articles in the future? Thin books can read thick, fully mobilize their imagination, thick books can read thin, focus on cultivating their generality, only creative "eat the book", in order to be able to understand, easy to handle, left and right.Soup, before and after a dozen bowls of noodles did not use 5 minutes, but also while cooking and chatting with customers. My children and I were both horrified. As we were leaving the noodle stand, the child suddenly looked up and said, "Dad, I guess if you sell noodles to a noodle competition, you must lose!" I smiled at the child's sudden conversation, and immediately admitted that I must lose to the seller. I said, "Not only will I lose, but I will lose badly." I'm going to lose to a lot of people in this world." We were in the soybean milk shop to see the man kneading flour to make churros, watching the churros swell in the pot and full of magical beauty, I said to the child: "Dad is not as good as the fried churros." We in the dumpling restaurant, see a man dumplings like magic, light action, hands pinch, each dumpling size, crystal clear, I said to the child: "Dad can not make dumplings people." When we were at the market, we saw a vendor cutting fruit into slices and wrapping them into bags to be sold at the theater. As he was cutting the fruit, the knife was moving so neatly that I said to my child, "Father is not as good as a fruit cutter." When we look at the world, if we are self-centered, we are likely to think that we are great, but once we rest our crazy heart and look at it with the heart of a child, we will see how small we are. In the crowd, if there is no labor and service of others, we even have a problem to eat a meal of fried bread! This is why even the sages lamented and said, "I am not as good as the old farmer, I am not as good as the old nursery." When we can see where we are not as human, that is when we have real confidence in life. When I look at the simple, but in fact not easy, actions of people's lives, I feel that everyone deserves the greatest respect, and people who strive to live are admirable people. They express their commitment to life by actions rather than words. Bear, is the most beautiful thing in life!

speed up and unfold. Content Warning.
I'm already starting to remember. Maybe it's not the right thing to do at my age. Every time the night comes, I look forward to the dawn of the light can speed up and unfold in front of me. I began to fear the darkness of the night, just as I feared that the vicissitudes of the years would be written on my beautiful cheeks. The place called Zhu Village, I have not been back for many years. Once in a while, when I pass by and peek through the car window, I no longer remember her appearance. But I know, it's my old home. I used to think that where my parents are is home. Later, I realized that there is a big difference between home and home. When I left home as a child, I did not feel much sadness, but I felt joy, just like a bird's wings gradually enriched, and it has been able to fly freely. Therefore, it was impossible to understand grandparents' tears at that time. Night, another night, but I do not have a pair of eyes synchronized with the night. I don't know where my mind will wander, whether it's the village I call home or this neon city. If it were not overcast, the night sky would have been starlit. The village should be peaceful, like a quiet landscape painting. But now the village has no water, and I'm talking about large areas of water, like ponds with lotus blossoms, reed wetlands, or rivers. I still remember the pond with the lotus seed, my memory, there are ponds, there are wetlands, there are rivers, and it is very clear in my mind, it is very real. Reality is terrible, always destroying my good memories, even what little remains, are shattered by the reality of the present, the good is gone forever.Take a look at the village, winding through the middle of the village street, both sides stand in a forest of commercial shops, hanging signs, store traces are not obvious, always are shops, people come and go, passing vehicles. So, the river pond that remains in the impression of the west of the village is dreaming. If you don't believe me, pull out one person and ask, who will remember that? There is no need to pull, when the stranger falls here, standing on the street, casually looking for a pedestrian, ask if there has ever been a lotus root, pond, river, and pear forest. That person will also look at you with strange eyes, will suspect that you are not a local, mistake the north for the south. If you ask a few more, you will be patient to tell you that this is a newly developed business district; If you meet impatient, may say two harsh words, worry that your brain has a problem. Also, to ask people in the commercial market whether there is any forest, pond or river here is not your mental problem, or some nervous disorder. Indeed, I have played such a fool as a stranger in a village. Unfortunately, the village is not an art village, and people will regard it as some kind of imagination of mine. My footsteps, can only stay in the present time and space, through the past, the soul in vain struggle. What the eyes see and what the ears hear is not necessarily true. Yes, very true, I have seen and heard a lot of good things. Especially the sound of frogs in the pond, I often sleep with their music, the corners of my mouth are still holding a smile, the face is rippling children's childism, the closed eyes are narrowed into a slit, and do not forget to occasionally wink naively. Of course, all this has appeared in my dreams, otherwise, words can not describe it. But what problem can words solve? Sometimes it doesn't accurately reflect what I want to say, or what I want to mean. A sentence described, even if it is tempered, can not be accurate and timely speech. The dry and cracked village is no longer the small Jiangnan that came in my memory. The village in the north can be called small Jiangnan, is many years ago, most of the men and women as big as me, do not know whether they can still
