Chapter 88 A leaf blinds the eyes
After listening to the old professor’s words, Lu Shanmin finally understood the true meaning of Bai Ling’s saying that a frog in a well cannot speak of the sea, and a summer insect cannot speak of the ice. When they were in elementary school, the two of them Talking about everything, as Bai Ling went to junior high school and high school, gradually she didn't like to hear what Lu Shanmin said, and Lu Shanmin couldn't understand what she said. The two of them had less and less common language, until finally they had nothing to say. It can be said. The real reason is that Bai Ling's outlook on life is improving, while he has always been standing still.
In fact, it’s not that Lu Shanmin doesn’t like going to school. When I was a child, I was unable to continue going to school due to physical reasons. Although I kept talking about it at that time, every weekend, I saw the children in the village who were in junior high school returning to the village with their schoolbags on their backs. My eyes were full of envy. I heard Bai Ling talk about school things. , special yearning. After so many years, Lu Shanmin had long forgotten about not being able to go to school. If Bai Ling hadn't been admitted to college and developed an unexplainable complex about college, he might have stayed in Mazui Village for the rest of his life.
"I had a serious illness when I was a child. I had to receive treatment every day and had to give up my studies."
"Then do you want to go to school now?"
"I think about it, but it is no longer possible."
The old professor smiled and said, "Because I was shocked by this class today."
Lu Shanmin thought for a while, "It's not entirely because I was shocked, but because I became more aware of myself."
The old professor looked at it with interest. Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Haha, I don't think you recognize yourself clearly." As he spoke, he picked up a leaf from the ground and covered Lu Shanmin's eyes.
"Can you still see the world now?"
"Old professor, you cover my eyes, how can I see?"
"This It's called a leaf that blocks your eyesight. A leaf blocks your whole world."
Lu Shanmin seemed to have figured out something, "Old professor, I understand, you are saying that I was just confused by a partial or temporary illusion."
Ma Guodong nodded with satisfaction, "You are very enlightened, and you can teach me."
Lu Shanmin scratched his head and said, "But, I really don't understand what you said in class."
"That's right, you didn't even understand what you heard, how can you understand it clearly, and how can you arbitrarily believe that you can't learn it?"
Lu Shanmin felt that the old professor's words were a bit contradictory, and frowned The eyebrows didn't know how to answer.
Ma Guodong then said, "Mountain people, what kind of work do you do when you go to Donghai to work?"
"Barbecue on Minsheng West Road not far away."
"So do you think it's difficult to grill barbecue?"
"I think it's very easy."
Ma Guodong laughed and said, "I find it difficult. I can burn down the kitchen even when I cook at home. My old lady has called me a fool more than once."
Lu Shanmin chuckled, "You must rarely enter the kitchen."
Ma Guodong nodded, "When people face unfamiliar things, they tend to think about them too much."It is within reach, every other line is like a mountain. Sometimes as long as you climb over that mountain, you will find that it is just that. ”
After talking with the old professor for more than half an hour, Lu Shanmin gradually understood the reason why the old professor wanted to talk to him. He felt excited and grateful at the same time. He was a mountain villager and a primary school student. How could he be so virtuous and capable? Let the legendary professor talk to me. He asked tentatively, "Old professor, you mean I can learn the economics you taught."
"You were not in the classroom just now." Ask me what is economics? Economics is the study of the laws of human economic activities and the laws of creation, transformation and realization of value. "
Lu Shanmin shook his head blankly, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.
The old professor smiled and said, "Then let me put it another way, economics is the study of people. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, how to produce things, how to sell things, and how to spend the money earned from selling things. "
Lu Shanmin looked at the old professor in surprise, "It's that simple. ”
The old professor chuckled, “How difficult do you think it is?” "
"What you mean is that if I open a barbecue restaurant, spend money to buy dishes, bake them and sell them, and use the money sold to buy clothes, firewood, rice, oil and salt, this is economics . ”
The old professor stroked his beard and laughed, “You’re a kid, the people who sell clothes, vegetables, rice, oil and salt earn your money, and then use the money to eat in your barbecue restaurant.” Barbecue, this completes a complete economic cycle. "
"So this is economics." Lu Shanmin was so excited that his voice trembled.
"You only went to elementary school before, and your basic knowledge accumulation is limited. In addition, you have no I have been exposed to economics and don’t understand a lot of professional terminology before I find it difficult.” Then he said seriously, “To tell you the truth, I think economics is too simple compared to barbecue.”
Lu Shanmin chuckled, and the low mood just now was gone. He once again found the feeling he had when he was hunting in the mountains, full of strength.
Ma Guodong handed over the two books in his hand. To Lu Shanmin, "This is the foundation of economics and the history of economic thought. Take it back and read it first. Whether you understand it or not, read it several times."
Lu Shanmin was flattered and his eyes turned red with excitement. No words can express how I feel at this moment. “Thank you.
The old professor smiled and waved his hand, "Books are destined to meet people. Old man, I have taught at a financial college all my life, and no student has ever written down everything I said. Although your notes are It's terrible, but I still want to comfort you. From now on, there will be my classes every Monday and Friday morning. If you dare to be absent, see if I don’t spank you."
Lu Shanmin’s eyes were red and he nodded firmly.
Seeing Lu Shanmin's resolute expression, Ma Guodong stroked his gray beard with satisfaction. After talking for a long time, he felt thirsty. He took out the tea cup he carried with him, took a sip of tea and said, "Remember what you learned." Purpose".
Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment. Thinking of what his head teacher said in elementary school, he said proudly, "Don't worry, old professor, I will never let you down. I will study hard and become a useful person to society in the future." ".
"Cough cough cough cough cough," Ma Guodong almost choked to death on a mouthful of tea.
Lu Shanmin quickly patted Ma Guodong on the back and said, "Old professor, are you okay?"
It took Ma Guodong a long time to regain his composure, calm down, and said out of breath, "Who taught you to say these messy words? Remember, you have only one purpose. , won the school beauty of the Finance College."
"Ah" Lu Shanmin was stunned.
Ma Guodong had a look of hatred on his face, "If you can't win it within three years, I won't recognize you as a student."
Lu Shanmin looked at Ma Guodong in disbelief, wondering whether the old professor's real job was studying economics or pulling strings.
Lu Shanmin asked tentatively, "Old professor, did you study economics because of women?"
Ma Guodong thought of the old woman at home, it was precisely because she had an affair with his love rival. I majored in economics at the same school, so I chose economics despite the opposition of my whole family.
Being poked by a young junior, Ma Guodong could not help but blush slightly and coughed twice, "Nonsense, am I so vulgar? I took the economics exam in order to become a useful talent to society."
Lu Shanmin sighed, feeling deeply guilty for his conjecture just now. The ideals and aspirations of an economics expert like the old professor were beyond the wild speculation of a mountain villager like him.
“People, you must have a goal when doing things, so that you will have endless motivation. However, don’t set the goal too big or too unreal, and forget about the great cause of saving all mankind. Now, think more about the school beauty named Zeng Yaqian, and think about the day when you can walk with her with peace of mind, or think about the day when he is knocked down by another man, so that you will be more motivated."
Lu Shanmin nodded subconsciously, and Ma Guodong smiled with satisfaction, and then said
"Mathematics is a tool for all sciences. From now on, you have to take the time to study by yourself in junior high school and high school. Mathematics, when you finish high school mathematics, I will naturally teach you some advanced things."
Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, a little worried. Many people could not learn well with teachers in school, let alone self-study.
Seeing Lu Shanmin's expression, Ma Guodong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's definitely not as difficult as grilling a barbecue."
Lu Shanmin asked doubtfully, "Is it true?"
"With my highly respected status, do you think I am lying?"
Meeting the old professor With an affirmation on his face, Lu Shanmin smiled. The old professor was a great intellectual. If he said yes, he should be right.
"Old professor, I have a question to ask you."
"You asked".
"You are the first to see me, why are you willing to help me?"
Ma Guodong sighed and said, "The profession of a teacher is different from the masters who learn skills in society. I wish I could teach students everything I have learned."< /p>
"But don't you have a lot of students?"
When he mentioned those students, Ma Guodong became angry, "Those people, who could be good students, could still get into this shabby school?"
"But, I feel that I am worse than them."
Ma Guodong shook his head, "You are different. Your handwriting is very beautiful. It can be seen that you have practiced it for a long time. How many young people can have that patience now? I have been teaching for so many years and I have never seen a student who can record everything the teacher said. I can see your desire for knowledge."
Lu Shanmin said oh, and asked with some anxiety, "Then do you think I will learn better than them in the future?"
Ma Guodong waved his hand, "Who knows?"
"Ah "Lu Shanmin looked surprised, "Then why do you spend so much time on me?"
"Every discipline will hold some academic seminars regularly and irregularly. Do you think we economic experts gather together? What do we talk about together?"
"Of course you get together to study economics."
Ma Guodong shook his head, "Shit, these people are either bragging when they get together. What academic achievements have you achieved, or are you bragging about how big an official your student is, how much money he earns, and how awesome he is in the industry."
"Ah" Lu Shanmin looked at Ma Guodong in surprise.
Ma Guodong said with an angry look, "I have an old rival who teaches at Tunghai University. His academic achievements may not be better than mine, but he takes advantage of his good students and brags to me every time we meet." Those students are so awesome, so amazing. Bah, if I had those excellent students from Donghai University, my students would be worse than him."
Lu Shanmin asked anxiously, "So you want to train me to be an outstanding talent, surpassing his students? ".
Ma Guodong shook his head, "My old rival is not good at anything, but there is one sentence that I still agree with. You still have to have dreams, just in case they come true." He patted the Lu Shanmin's shoulders, "Don't be too stressed. I'm just trying my luck. What if I really get lucky?"
"Ah"
