Chapter 350 Many Definitions of Power
Su Chengyi had no idea about the undercurrent of last night.
He had a good sleep comfortably, and it was already afternoon when he opened his eyes.
The rain hasn't stopped yet, but fortunately it has slowed down a lot. If you listen carefully, there is only the sound of pattering.
Su Chengyi yawned and sat up.
He was alone in the living room.
On the sofa where Lin Tong slept last night, the quilt was neatly folded without even a wrinkle.
It was the same in his room, even the corners of the quilt were tucked in perfectly.
It makes people wonder whether he took in these two siblings last night. Maybe it was just another dream?
Su Chengyi leaned against the door of the room and was silent for a long time, then turned around and walked out.
Traces of this reality were eventually found on the dining room table.
In the porcelain bowl is a bowl of hot porridge, which feels warm to the touch.
Next to it is a note, written in Lin Tong's signature regular script, which is easy to read.
“Mr. Yi:
The rain has gradually eased, so we decided to hurry up and drive back to our hometown.
My sister and I woke up early and saw that you were sleeping well so we didn't wake you up.
Sorry for bothering you, thank you for taking care of me! have a good rest! "
The handwriting in the following paragraph suddenly changed. It was written very hard one stroke at a time, a bit like the handwriting of a primary school student.
"The green vegetables and rice are cold. Remember to heat them up before eating them. "
The word "porridge" was written as "split up". Su Chengyi laughed.
But it's still warm.
Su Chengyi went to the kitchen to wash a spoon, and took advantage of the last bit of warmth to finish the porridge.
Green vegetable porridge is refreshing and relieves greasiness, and it tastes very comfortable.
After Su Chengyi finished eating, he actually felt sleepy again.
I don’t know if it was because yesterday’s work was too tiring and tiring. I always feel very tired and have no energy.
First, he had a bunch of weird dreams, and then the heavy rain brought out inexplicable self-destructive negative emotions. Before going to bed, he talked to Lin Tong about the Shura Field.
Just thinking about it made him feel dizzy again.
Unfortunately, reality does not allow him to roll back to bed and catch up on his sleep.
There is still much to do.
Su Chengyi sighed, got up and went back to the room to change clothes.
Although it is a rainy day, it is not cold, and the humid and sticky air even makes it a bit stuffy.
Su Chengyi stood in front of the wardrobe and hesitated for a moment, then casually put on a gray loose sweater.
Go and return the car keys first.
When I knocked on the door of Aunt Zhu’s house, it was Xiao Dunzi Chocolate who opened the door.
This guy looked sleepy, with ballpoint pen marks on his face. He must have been dozing off while doing his homework.
"Brother Xiaoyi!"
When he saw the appearance of the person clearly, he rubbed his eyes and realized what he was doing.
"Where are your parents?"
Su Chengyi patted his round head.
"Dad was taking a nap, and mom went to Aunt Wang's house to play mahjong."
I still don’t worry about my car at all.
But when I came back, I parked my car nearby downstairs. The two of them should have seen it a long time ago, so they were so tolerant.
Su Chengyi shook the car keys in his hand and put them on the shoe cabinet.
"I'll leave the key here. I'll tell your parents soon."
"Yeah!"
Chocolate nodded vigorously, but had no intention of closing the door. He just looked at him helplessly.
It's a bit pitiful, like a little fat native dog.
So Su Chengyi had to pause before leaving.
“Want to go out and play?”
“Yeah!”
Chocolate's eyes, which had been dulled by homework, suddenly regained hope.
Are all primary school students today involved in this situation?
Su Chengyi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Let's go, but it's a rainy day today and we don't have many places to go."
He issued a warning in advance.
But Chocolate can't control that much. As long as he can go out and not stay at home doing homework, he can go anywhere! !
The innocent primary school student followed him downstairs happily.
Su Chengyi sent a message to Aunt Zhu while walking.
"Hello, auntie, I put the car keys on the shoe cabinet at the door.
By the way, I took Chocolate out to play for a while. I will take him home before dinner, so you don't have to worry."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhu, who was fighting fiercely in the mahjong field, responded quickly.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Chengyi! My Bajie can just take her away, no need to say hello! [Flowers] [Like]"
She is indeed her biological mother.
Su Chengyi opened the black umbrella with one hand, and Chocolate consciously took his own Ultraman umbrella.
The two walked slowly on the dark red square bricks of the sidewalk.
"Brother Xiaoyi, where are we going?"
Chocolate's child-like nature could not help but ask.
“I don’t know, do you have a good place to go?”
Su Chengyi thought for a while and really didn’t know where to go.
Although he grew up in Qinghe District, he has always been school and home.
If there was any place to go nearby, he had no idea.
“There are so many!”
Speaking of playing, Chocolate waved his fist excitedly.
“Go straight ahead for three thousand meters, and there is a home appliance arcade! The claw machine inside is very conscientious, and its claws are very strong!
Turn left at the intersection, and there is People’s Park. After school, I usually I went there to play with my classmates because the playground inside was newly built, but unfortunately it rained today
That’s right! And wow, there is a dessert shop near the park, and the strawberry ice cream inside is particularly delicious!
Brother Xiaoyi, let me treat you to eat! This year, I still have some lucky money left! "
He was talking with great joy, as if he was going to drool in the next second.
Su Chengyi heard it funny, and decided which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted, to dampen the enthusiasm of this happy primary school student. .
“Chocolate, what was your score in the final exam last semester? ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Chocolate's happiness disappeared immediately, and his head suddenly became dull.
“Brother Xiaoyi, were your grades so good when you were in elementary school?”
I didn’t expect this kid to ask back.
Su Chengyi thought for a while and replied:
"I forgot a little. But I guess I have never been second in the school."
He has been ranked first too many times in his life, so it is not unusual to be ranked first, but to be ranked second is surprising.
If it has happened before, he will definitely remember it.
Su Chengyi went to the primary school attached to No. 1 Middle School when he was a child. When he was in the fifth grade, he had already confirmed that he would be directly admitted to the rocket class of the junior high school.
So in the remaining two years, he no longer studied the subject areas of elementary school, but while previewing junior high school textbooks, he specialized in various knowledge competitions.
The results of the final exam mean nothing to people like him.
But for chocolate, the significance is too great!
This affects whether his butt is intact, the living environment of the entire winter vacation, and most importantly, where the new year's money belongs.
So he has worked very hard for this final exam.
95 in math and Chinese, 93 in the other, 89 in English, and 98 in science.
In fact, it looked pretty good at first glance. Chocolate and Aunt Zhu were initially frightened, but when they saw the score, they were both a little surprised.
This was also due to the large pile of Huanggang rolls that Su Chengyi gave him before the university started.
However, even though he went to a foreign language school, the people around him were no less involved than the guys in public elementary schools.
His score ranks second to last in the class! ! !
The last one still belongs to Su Xiaoxue.
Aunt Zhu’s smile disappeared completely the moment she saw the rankings.
Chocolate knew instantly that his happy winter vacation was over.
Goodbye Ultra Eggs; Goodbye Digimon; Goodbye Big Fish, Big Meat, Potato Chips, Chocolate Ice Cream.
And at the beginning of the next semester, he will be greeted by an even more cruel purgatory! Thinking of this, Chocolate couldn't help but sigh.
“It would be great if I could be as smart as you, brother Xiaoyi. If I were half as smart as you, I could walk sideways in the class.”
"Huh? How do you know?"
Su Chengyi raised his hand and grabbed his collar. There was a red light in front of him, and the guy walked forward dejectedly, without even paying attention.
"Mom said it."
Chocolate actually embellished her statement. The original words were actually, "Even if you have one percent of your Xiaoyi brother's brains, you won't get the last place in the exam." two!".
Su Chengyi looked at the decreasing number of red lights across the road and said casually:
"I'm not that smart."
"Oh my god, you're not smart yet?!"
Chocolate shook his head like a rattle.
"When I was a child, I studied so much and didn't do anything at all just to pass the time."
Su Chengyi tilted his head and thought seriously.
When he was young, people's entertainment methods were not as fancy as they are now.
In addition to watching TV, children go out and play childish games with their friends, such as hide-and-seek and eagles catching chickens
Su Chengyi is not interested in this, and he has no friends. .
The TV at home is either occupied by Su Zelang's football games or Yang Liu's soap operas.
So his only entertainment is studying and reading.
When he read the entire "The Count of Monte Cristo" for the first time, he didn't even know many new words, and naturally there were many passages that he couldn't understand.
But he didn't find it boring. The sentences that impressed him deeply after reading it for the first time can still be repeated to this day.
“If you desire something, you have to set it free.
If it comes back to you, it is yours; if it doesn’t come back, you never Had it."
Unlike most children who subconsciously view learning and entertainment as opposites, he doesn't see any difference between them.
In that era, there were no short videos that were perfect for killing time, and life always passed very slowly.
Children who are used to going to bed early and getting up early will have a whole long day.
Su Chengyi briefly recalled his childhood in these 60 seconds of red light.
How did he spend so many long, slow, alone days?
When the green light came on, he stopped thinking and took the chocolate to cross the road.
"I know where we are going to play today."
"Where?"
Chocolate's heart, which was depressed by his grades, became alive again.
"Library."
"."
Chocolate's hanging heart finally died.
Too dead.
In fact, Su Chengyi ignored that the scope of his activities in Qinghe District was not two points and one line, but three points and one line.
Another point is the library.
Although there is a bookshelf of books at home, it is obviously not enough with the intensity and speed of his reading.
So Yangliu led him to the library.
Su Chengyi memorized the route in just one round trip, and from then on he went alone.
He is serious when reading, and he is often asked to leave by the administrator only when the library is closed.
But after I entered middle school, I rarely came back.
Because No. 1 Middle School also has a library, it is much more convenient than taking a detour to come here.
When Su Chengyi stood at the door, he was in a daze for a moment.
It has been so many years in the blink of an eye.
Chocolate looked at the obviously old library in front of him and scratched his head.
In fact, there is a newly built one on the other side of the city, which is simple and modern European style, very tall and elegant.
I don’t know why Brother Xiaoyi came to this place.
Su Chengyi paused for a moment, regained his composure, and then walked inside again.
Chocolate followed step by step.
For some reason, looking at Su Chengyi's expression, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with coming to the library to play.
Didn’t he always want to be smart? Now is the great opportunity!
The two walked into the museum. Although the decoration was old, it was still clean and tidy.
But it was empty, no one around.
The administrator was an old man who was leaning on a rocking chair and taking a nap. When he heard the two people entering the door, he just lazily raised his eyelids.
Over the years, the order of the bookshelves has been changed, and Su Chengyi’s favorite natural science category as a child has been moved to the other side.
His footsteps seemed to be walking through dusty time, and the pages filled with the past were flying like withered yellow leaves.
Chocolate quickly found the one he was most interested in among the vast sea of books.
——"One Hundred Thousand Whys of Food".
Su Chengyi felt helpless and wanted to laugh for a while.
When he came here, he usually read "A Minimalist History of the Universe" and "The Law of the Stars".
This was one of the reasons why Yang Liu didn't want to accompany him. She would get a headache if she looked at these things one more time.
Chocolate held the comic book in his arms and found a seat in the corner to sit down.
Su Chengyi followed him and picked up a copy of "Kant and Metaphysical Dilemmas".
This library is already deserted, and today is a rainy day. Looking around, there are only a few people there.
As soon as Chocolate sat down, he was a little curious about the book in Su Chengyi's hand, so he took a look at it.
“Imagination makes both perceptual and conceptual representations through schemas, thus becoming the bridge between perceptual and intellectual, and constituting the essential basis of ontological knowledge.”
Mingming is all Why can’t he understand Chinese characters at all?
Chocolate immediately felt dizzy, but Su Chengyi frowned slightly, obviously looking very serious.
Chocolate sighed softly, feeling more and more hopeless about becoming smarter.
"What's wrong?"
Su Chengyi noticed the primary school student's depression and turned his head and asked.
“Brother Xiaoyi, I think I may never be as powerful as you.”
Chocolate lay on the table, feeling shocked.
At a young age, Su Cheng also fell in love with emo, so he took her to McDonald’s for treatment.
“What do you think is great?”
He asked.
"Just like you, you know everything and can do everything. With such good grades, it seems that there is no problem in the world that you cannot master."
Chocolate answered with his fingers.
Su Chengyi shook his head.
"I'm not as powerful as you think. You'll know when you grow up. And it's not just people with good grades in the world who are powerful."
He put down the book in his hand and was careful not to Let the pages crease.
“I think people who can make perfect ice cream are also amazing. People who can tell where there are razor clams at a glance when going to sea are also amazing. People who can make delicious egg fried rice are also amazing. .”
Having said this, he smiled slightly as he thought of something.
“If everyone pursues their studies and career, who will drive the merry-go-round?
Time is not only meaningful if it is spent on studying, if you like, daze, Watching the sunset and counting the stars, these things have meaning."
Chocolate listened and suddenly asked thoughtfully:
"Brother Xiaoyi, can I do it in the future? Become a candied haws hawker? ”
"If your candied haws are big and sweet, then of course you are also very good."
Su Chengyi smiled again, with rare gentleness in his eyebrows.
“Yes!”
Chocolate nodded heavily, and for a moment he was so happy that he wanted to dance.
Actually, he is not that stupid. He knows that if he asks his mother this question, he will definitely be beaten and criticized for being worthless.
But he also knows that his mother is doing it for his own good. No parent does not want their children to become successful.
But Chocolate did not expect that Su Chengyi would answer like this.
The bitter ordeal of the whole winter vacation disappeared in an instant after receiving the encouragement from the person I admired most.
