Chapter 151 Life Goals
If you have farm work, you will do it, and if you don’t have farm work, you will be idle. Zhang Xiaoqiang’s life is messy and desolate, and behind it is discussed by his neighbors.
Zhang Xiaoqiang has his own life goal. When he was scattering animals with his friends, he scattered the animals in the vast grassland. He and his cousin Zhang Hai walked on the grassland, looking at the huge wasteland, pointing at the sky. Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that the seven or eight animals in his eyes had turned into thousands of troops and conquering on the endless battlefield.
And I am the winner of this endless battlefield and territory.
"When I grow up, I want to be a millionaire." Zhang Xiaoqiang blurted out to Zhang Hai beside him and made his debut.
"Brother, this goal is a bit big!" Zhang Hai said. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked up at the confusion in Zhang Hai's eyes.
"Zhang Hai, you are too ambitious," Zhang Xiaoqiang looked back on the battlefield and said, "My goal is not something that people who stay at home all day to help their parents cut vegetables and feed chickens!" Zhang Hai frowned secretly after hearing the ridicule.
"Brother, your chickens are not as strong as my chickens, and your donkeys are not as strong as my donkeys. I dare not have the idea of you," Zhang Hai said truthfully, "Where did your confidence come from?"
"From the book!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said contemptly, "Zhang Hai, have you never read books?"
Zhang Hai shook his head.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoqiang said this not because after they graduated together, Zhang Xiaoqiang resumed another year of class, but because he was indeed studying and reading world famous works.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't like Chinese books, and thought that he couldn't understand ancient books and had no taste in new books. But he learned a few world classics from newspapers, journals or other books, which was what he wanted to read. Zhang Xiaoqiang saved some money through various channels and went to the city to buy a book called "Red and Black".
"Red and Black" is not as good as I imagined. Zhang Xiaoqiang seemed to be gnawing a piece of cold and hard cornmeal steamed bun. He spent more than ten days reading this famous book. Looking back, he planted two seeds in his blank heart: one is that men must have a life-long love. The other is that life has to go through a difficult journey to the upper class.
Zhang Xiaoqiang bought another copy of "The Book of Changes", and after reading it, he left another impression of life: when he was prosperous and declined, whether it would be the best. Things will eventually move forward in a tortuous way. There will be rise and fall, and there will be rise. In other words, he is at the bottom of the valley at this moment, so he has embarked on the journey of climbing up the dangerous peak.
Although life is difficult, it has a hopeful front.
Since then, Zhang Xiaoqiang has always used the three creeds buried in his heart as a whip and has always been storming himself. He feels that with his various conditions and restrictions, he can only take a literary path. After that, Zhang Xiaoqiang bought more and more books, and even used the money for his parents to buy new clothes for him during the New Year to buy books. After returning from the city, he brought back a bag of books.
During the festival, relatives focus on each other, Zhang Zuhua always talks about the incident of Zhang Xiaoqiang buying books instead of clothes.
The "upper society" in Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes is like the full moon hanging on the treetops, like jade, so round and bright, as if it is within reach, but it is difficult to reach. It has been torture of Zhang Xiaoqiang's mental strength and spirit.
When he was free, his friends rushed to Zhang Xiaoqiang's house, lying, sitting, standing, and playing freely as if he was at his own home. Zhang Xiaoqiang was tired of playing, hid alone and ignored everyone and read quietly.
