Shenhao with a learning panel

Chapter 281 Upgrade and the end of the year (for subscription)
In the next few days, in addition to studying through documentaries, Li Shi would also find "Bai Mang Mang" to discuss issues from time to time.

It was the end of the new year, and Li Shi's requirements were special and high, so it was difficult for the little assistant Zhang Huijing to find someone. Fortunately, there are free teachers who can ask for advice, so he is not in a hurry.

As time entered February, Li Shi gradually slowed down his studies. Occasionally, he went to the supermarket and found that the supermarket had already started selling lanterns, couplets and other new year goods. Looking at these red things, he felt that there was such a A touch of the New Year.

He immediately took out his phone and looked at the calendar.

On February [-]th, the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lichun, there are still five days away from the Xiaonian in the north and six days away from the Xiaonian in the south.

"There are only eleven days left before Chinese New Year, and the days go by so quickly."

After returning home, Li Shi made a video call with Chen Qiuye and Wang Yuelan to confirm the schedule during the Chinese New Year. Then he called his mother and told her that he would go back to pick her up on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and that we would be at the house in Tanzhou together. I spent my childhood.

I just finished the video chat with my mother here, and not long after, the little assistant Zhang Huijing called and came in to report on the finishing work of the self-built house.

After listening to Li Shi, he said: "Okay, when you return to Tanzhou tomorrow, come to my place. It's the end of the year, let's have a meal and give you a little bonus."

Zhang Huijing laughed and said loudly, "Thank you boss!"

Hmm, full of energy.

At noon the next day, the two had a meal at the restaurant they used to frequent. Li Shi gave her five months' salary as a bonus to reward her for her hard work since joining the company.

Her monthly salary is [-], and her five-month salary is [-].

Seeing so many small coins, Zhang Huijing stood up excitedly on the spot and bowed.

It almost didn't scare Li Shi.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon that day, Li Shi finally caught up with Episode 1 of the "General History of China" documentary: The End of the Imperial System.

"Another new force has quietly emerged."

"Since 2000 years, many emperors have appeared on this eastern land... calling for the arrival of a new era."

The last episode is also over.

Looking at the ending song and subtitles, Li Shi felt a little lost for a moment.

The [-]-episode documentary, carrying thousands of years of history, is displayed in front of him one by one like a magnificent painting.

At the end of the moment, he was somewhat in a trance.

After a while, Li Shi calmly opened the comment area and checked the comments of netizens in the last episode.

The one with the most likes is the famous quote by Gu Hongming quoted by netizens.

The comments below are mostly your emotions.

You can say anything, but in general, it is still within the scope of "taking history as a mirror".

Get up and move your limbs, then sit down again.

Li Shi called out the learning panel and "looked" at it, then turned his attention to the tablet again, clicked on the catalog of documentaries, compared the titles of each episode in the catalog, took out the study notebook, and began to compare them one by one Remembering:

"The Chinese road, the Chinese ancestors, the origin of agriculture, the origin of civilization, the era of the state, the search for the Xia Dynasty, the rise and fall of the Shang Dynasty, the civilization of the Shang Dynasty, the King Wu conquered the Shang, the Duke of Zhou regent... the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Sino-Japanese War, the Restoration and geming, the end of the imperial system .”

With the improvement of his physical attributes, his memory is getting better and better.

Based on the previous foundation, plus this whole-hearted study, looking at these titles and notes, he can mentally go through the timeline represented by each title and the major events that happened on the timeline.

This sitting is more than an hour.

It was getting dark outside, and the light inside the house gradually dimmed.

Li Shi's gaze finally came to "the end of the imperial system".

Closing the notebook, the memory of this trip made him feel like "a moment is a lifetime".

I can't help thinking of a sentence I once saw: the page you turn lightly in the history book is their magnificent life.

At the same time, something happened in my mind.

Call up the learning panel to check, and it has been upgraded, and the study of Chinese history has been upgraded from the original (beginner) to (beginner+).

Learning to be promoted is naturally a happy thing, but unlike the previous excitement, this time, affected by the "heaviness" of history, Li Shi's mood is particularly calm.

It belongs to that kind of faint happiness.

This is a very strange experience.

He had never experienced it before, and it felt good.

After studying the documentary "General History of China", Li Shi completely relaxed, although he continued to watch "Outline of National History" written by Qian Mu and "General History of China written by Lu Simian" by Lu Simian to strengthen and deepen his study of Chinese general history , but he greatly reduced the time for studying history.

I only spend two or three hours a day reading historical works.

Instead, I increased the posting time from the original one hour to two hours, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening.

And the rest of the time, he spent drinking tea and chatting on WeChat, watching TV and chatting on QQ, and reading idle books and chatting on QQ.

Xianshu is naturally an online novel.

Wechat chats are mainly with Qiuye and Yuelan, while chats with QQ are with the recently added female netizen, who is [-] to [-]% similar to female celebrities, "Bai BiaoMang", Teacher Bai.

If nothing else is considered, just talking about chatting, Li Shi found that he had a special chat with Mr. Bai, a mature woman in her 40s.

The two chatted from history to literature, and have recently started discussing online novels.

"Maybe because I read too many books, my mental age has become older?"

Li Shi thought so.

He doesn't care about his mental age getting older, anyway, he is used to everything being older.

When chatting with Mr. Bai, Li Shi simply felt that it would be nice and interesting to meet a netizen who could have a common topic and chat with him.

I didn't think much about anything else.

A few days later, February 23th, the [-]rd lunar month, is a small year in the north.

Although the weather is getting colder and colder, except for shopping malls and supermarkets selling New Year's goods in the city, the rest of the city still has no New Year's flavor.

Sometimes Li Shi misses his childhood very much. He would live in the countryside. Although the family had little money and lack of materials, when the New Year came, the adults would give him money to buy cheap new clothes on the street in the town, and grind soybean milk with beans. Making tofu, beheading Chinese New Year pigs, eating some butchered dishes... He just acted happily.

The same goes for other children in the village.

Everyone gets together, eat lard residue at your house now, and fried tofu at his house later, and then look forward to double-digit lucky money and candy at most, play with cards, burn dry straw in the ridge, Running all over the village.

"Ever since I went to college, entered the city, or grew up, I don't feel that Chinese New Year is good. When it comes to Chinese New Year, I am afraid that people will ask me about my grades, my job, my partner... and myself, I am afraid that people will come to collect debts, alas."

Li Shi put the prepared cigarettes and alcohol into the trunk of the Bentley, then went to the bank to withdraw cash, bought red envelopes at the supermarket, drove out of the city, and went straight to his hometown Zhaoyang County on the highway.

This trip back is to pick up my mother to celebrate the New Year in Tanzhou.

When I went to the town, I went to my cousin's house first, put down some alcohol and tobacco, and then went back to the village.

I went back to the village and walked around, and went to sit at the houses of the cousins ​​who lent money to their family back then. The young ones left behind cigarettes and alcohol, and the older elders gave red envelopes for New Year greetings. 2000 yuan in cash.

He also made it very clear that this year he took his mother to the city to celebrate the New Year. If he has something to do next year, he may not return to the village, so he will pay early New Year's greetings.

After a circle, when he got home, Li Shi was dumbfounded when he saw the pile of things his mother had prepared.

Two bacon chickens, two bacon ducks, three hanging bacon, half a leg of fresh pork, a snakeskin bag of dried mushrooms, fried tofu, croquettes, native eggs, dried day lily, dried lily, etc., the most important thing Yes, and two live chickens with strings attached to their wings and feet.

"Mom, didn't you say you don't need to get anything? You..."

Li's mother Zhou Xiaocui said directly: "It's not for you."

Li Shi was at a loss for words. If it wasn't for him, then it was for her daughters-in-law...

Without further ado, just stuff it in the trunk of the car.

Finally, looking at the two live chickens, he said to his mother: "Either we take one and deal with it now, and eat it for the new year tomorrow, and put the other one at home for Aunt Na to raise. It's not easy to raise in the city, after all. There are still a few days before Chinese New Year."

Before returning, Li Shi and Li Qiaona chatted for a while, talking about things in the village.

Li Shi gave her a suggestion: "Nagu, your current household registration is in the village. I think you can run for election when it changes next year."

Li Qiaona was stunned for a moment: "I haven't thought about it."

Li Shi smiled and said, "You can think about it."

Li Qiaona pondered for a moment. She has a swift and decisive personality. After being touched by Li Shi, she immediately figured it out, and immediately said: "Then I will talk to Uncle Shu first."

Li Shi nodded, took out the last red envelope in his pocket, handed it to her, and said, "Okay, I'll go first, this red envelope is for the third grandpa and third grandma, please give it to me."
The third father and third wife are her parents.

I didn't eat in the village at noon, and it was still early to rush back to Tanzhou. I found a restaurant outside to deal with it. When I arrived at Phoenix Bay, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

The room was packed before Wang Yuelan went to Yangcheng.

There were originally four large suites in the home, a nanny room, a storage room, and a study room.

Li Shi disliked that the previous study was too small, so he transformed one of the smaller suites into the current study. There are three remaining suites, one is the master bedroom, and the other two are about the same size and have a good view. The bedroom that is farther away is arranged for the mother to live in, and the one that is closer to the master bedroom will be used when Chen Qiuye and Wang Yuelan come back.

There are old people around, so be a little more careful, and don't sleep in the same room blatantly.

My mother has a restless personality, and as soon as she gets home, she starts to be busy. Zhang Luo must have a lively year this year.

Li Shi stayed by his side until his mother became familiar with the electrical appliances in the kitchen, and only occasionally went to calligraphy and read books.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the young year, the mother and son did a big cleaning, cooked six dishes, and worshiped the Stove Lord and ancestors before the meal.

In the next two days, although Li Shi didn't study much on purpose and stayed with his mother, the old man still felt bored. He said bluntly that he had to go back to his hometown early after the Chinese New Year. The city was too boring and boring.

It wasn't until the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month that she was in a better mood. When she got up early in the morning, she took Li Shi and drove her to the supermarket to buy fresh vegetables, saying that when Chen Qiuye and the others arrived at noon, they must be let in. You can have a hearty hot meal.

After buying groceries, Li Shi helped out. When it was almost ten o'clock, he drove to the high-speed rail station. After waiting for a while, he picked up Chen Qiuye and Wang Yuelan who were pushing two oversized suitcases.

The two of them were wearing the same down jacket, one white and one khaki, standing together, so attractive.

After getting in the car, Chen Qiuye sat in the co-pilot. She was very excited at first, but when the car drove across the river and was getting closer to home, she became nervous.

Wang Yuelan in the back seat was fine, she was Chen Qiuye's "cousin" today.

But Chen Qiuye is just Chen Qiuye, this kind of "ruthless person", no matter how big it is, is just a moment of nervousness, and she quickly adjusted her mood. When the car is parked in the garage, she doesn't show any nervousness on the surface.

Even a little impatient.

"Let's go up quickly, don't make auntie wait too long."

As she said that, Chen Qiuye immediately walked towards the elevator. After walking a few steps, she came back again, took Wang Yuelan's arm, and pulled her along.

After a few minutes.

Everyone was sitting in the living room, and Li's mother held Chen Qiuye's hand and sat together, staring at her face with a smile on her face for a while, then turned to Li Shi and said, "Qiuye is so beautiful in real life than in the video." Beautiful, it's a pity to match you, Shitou, you're too tall."

Li Shi smiled in cooperation with his mother.

But Chen Qiuye immediately said: "Auntie, Shitou was trained very well by you. You don't know, but I took the initiative to pursue him."

This sentence immediately coaxed Li's mother into joy.

Looking at Chen Qiuye, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing to the eye.

Of course, the old man did not neglect the "cousin" Wang Yuelan, and also enthusiastically pulled her to chat.

After entering the door and chatting for a while, they began to eat. After eating, they cleared the table, and then went to the kitchen to clean up and arrange the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Ingredients like fish maw need to be soaked in advance.

Two women accompanied his mother. Li Shi came to the study and read a book with peace of mind.

He is reading Qian Mu's "Outline of National History" today. Before that, he has read 1 introductions and a self-report of the book, and today he finally read Chapter [-]: "The Birth of Chinese Culture in the Central Plains"

"The exploration of ancient history in modern times can be described in two ways: first, the excavation of prehistoric relics. Second, the review of legends and myths."

"The excavation of prehistoric relics can be divided into three parts..."

"Gansu Qingyang in the Paleolithic Age, Zhoukoudian in the capital city, Lantian in Shaanxi, etc., Yangshao Culture in the new era, Longshan Culture in Anyang, etc... Especially the excavation of Yin Ruins in Anyang, I really want to see it."

When learning history, if you only read the words in the books, you don't have much intuitive experience.

After Li Shi read this, he had the idea of ​​waiting for the new year to follow the historical sites and visit them on the spot.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

I got up and opened the door to see that it was my mother.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mother Li didn't make a sound at first, and asked in a low voice after entering the study: "Shitou, what's going on with Qiuye's cousin? Why is she so familiar with the house, especially the kitchen? Still clear."

　Say hello to fellow Taoists.
