What's on Jasmine's mind- My leader, my regiment follow-up

(One)

The days passed day by day, although she was poor and hard, but Jasmine was really a thrifty, budget-conscious master of life, and an art master full of wisdom in life.She always puts great effort into making the poor and simple life enjoyable, vivid and beautiful.From the small courtyard she kept clean and tidy, surrounded by flowers, to the food and clothing she arranged for Bao'er, people always felt so comfortable and appropriate, so warm and natural.

I watched Jasmine busy every day with peace of mind, showing no signs of leaving, and suddenly realized that maybe when she read the letter, she had already made up her mind.I was secretly glad that I didn't foolishly ask her about topics that shouldn't be brought up. Fortunately, I kept that letter in my heart instead of just talking about it.

Bao'er grew up day by day, maybe because of his kind nature, maybe because of Jasmine's good discipline, although he is young, he is already a sensible child.He always tried his best to help her mother with the little things he could.Seeing Bao'er running in and out very enthusiastically, helping his mother with things, picking up vegetables and peeling beans, I was very relieved to be there.

In a flash, it was the end of 1948, and Boa was four years old.Whenever I see this lively and lovely boy, I always think of my childhood and always remind me of my mother.At that time, my mother was also like Jasmine, who brought me up alone. I don't know how much hardship and tribulation she has endured for my growth.Now that I saw Jasmine's devotion to Bao'er, I really realized how reasonable the old saying "you will know the kindness of your parents when you raise a child" is true.

Baoer is now four years old, which reminds me that when I was four years old, my mother enlightened me, began to teach me to read and write, and began to tell me about the culture and history of our country.It seems that it's time for me to discuss Bao'er's education with Jasmine.

That night, I came to Jasmine's dream again.I don't know how Jasmine will think about enlightening Bao'er, so let's chat with her first.

When she snuggled up beside me, I smiled and asked her, "Jasmine, what did you and Bao'er eat tonight?"

"There are rice, vegetables, and fried fish." She said while thinking.

"Oh, how big is the fish? How many are there? How many did you eat?" I asked her carefully, wanting her to explain in detail.

"Well, it's just this big, not too big fish. Bao'er ate three, I ate one, and the smallest two are for our family's black tiger." She said with a smile while gesturing.

"The black tiger has eaten two, why do you only have one? I'm starting to envy the black tiger now, why is it treated better than my Jasmine?" I joked with her.

"Heihu is a cat. It likes to eat fish. Our Bao'er seems to be a cat. He loves to eat the fish I made, and his small mouth is so dexterous that he won't be stabbed." Hold on." Jasmine said with a happy smile on her face.I was wondering if I should just tell her about the enlightenment of Bao'er.

"What are you thinking? Seeing your thoughtful expression, I know you have something to say to me again. Just talk directly!" She acted coquettishly to me.

Looking at the bright and sensitive Jasmine, I slowly opened my mouth: "Look, Bao'er is already four years old, and I'm thinking that it's time to teach him to read and read. This used to be called Enlightenment, but now it's called Enlightenment. You How do you see it?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you on this matter. But how should I start? What books should I teach him to read? Where do I start to teach him to read? I have pens, inks, paper, and inkstones at home. But there are no books suitable for children." Jasmine said.

"Jasmine, is it expensive to buy books now? If it's too expensive, you should first prepare a copy of "Three Character Classics" and a copy of "24 Filial Piety". You also need to buy some red-painted notebooks, both in upper and lower case, for practicing brush calligraphy." After finishing speaking, I looked at her a little apologetically.I felt a little uneasy thinking that these demands were another burden on her.

She smiled at me: "Don't worry, I can go to the second-hand bookstore to find it! Nowadays, second-hand books are very cheap, and some books are sold by the pound!"

"Oh ho, isn't the price of everything going up now? Why are books so cheap?" I asked a little puzzled.

"Because books can't be eaten, and books are difficult to carry away, old books are the least valuable now. Those who are rich and well-connected, or have connections overseas, are busy moving. Those old furniture They and old books are piled high in thrift stores, which are the price of firewood, and not many people come to buy them. I heard that those important officials are either going to Hong Kong or Taiwan. They are busy moving. I I also saw some people who bought old books at a price cheaper than chopping firewood, just to light the fire, and it really hurts to see it.” After Jasmine finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue at me mischievously, and then laughed helplessly.

"If it's cheap, you might as well buy more. In addition to the "San Zi Jing" and "24 Filial Piety" I just mentioned, which are for enlightenment. You can also buy "Thousand Characters", "Gu Wen Guan Zhi", "Book of Songs" , "Selected Notes on Chu Ci", "Han Yuefu Poetry Collection", "Three Hundred Tang Poems", "Selected Song Ci", "Zizhi Tongjian", "The Analects", "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Mencius", and Yes..." Before I could finish my sentence, Jasmine interrupted me with a smile.

She looked at me, laughed so hard that she could hardly breathe, and kept beating my chest lightly with her hand: "Our Bao'er is only four years old! He can't even read a word, so you prescribed this medicine for him." Long list of books, do you still want to buy a set of "24 Histories"?"

I smiled mischievously: "If there is a good version of "24 Histories" and the price is cheap, you can buy it. Reading history is very important. Reading poetry makes people smart, and reading history can brighten one's ambition. Am I a little too impatient , I want Bao'er to become a fat man in one go."

I helped Jasmine so that she could lean on my chest comfortably, stroked her hair gently with one hand, and at the same time said to her quietly: "Jasmine, I have to work hard for you again. Not only do I have to buy books, You still have to teach Bao'er how to read and write, and practice calligraphy. These things take time and patience. Your burden is already heavy enough, and I have arranged things for you. You won't blame me, right? I really want to do it myself Going to teach Boa, I really hope it can help you share some of the responsibility and burden."

"How could I blame you?! You are Bao'er's father, and you are always thinking of him! Fortunately, now is the enlightenment, and I can still teach him. In two years, Bao'er should also go to school Yes, after he has been in school for a few years, I can't teach him even if I want to. I hope that one day in the future, Bao'er can grow up to be a real man like you. At that time, I will never have In vain, all my dedication and hard work are also worthwhile." Listening to these words she said softly but firmly, I couldn't help but feel a lot of thoughts.

Bao'er is her hope and my sustenance.How I hope he can be stronger and better than me in the future, and can realize some dreams that I have not realized.

Life is paved with unfulfilled ambitions, and life is full of regrets.How I hope that in Bao'er's life, there will be fewer regrets and more achievements!
