My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 15 15. People are wise and should be treated with great courtesy

"That's great, that's great. Are you saying that your classmates and your teacher are willing to help you study?"

"And you are willing to fund our village? With this money, everyone will not go hungry, and we can survive this disaster year. It is impossible for people to starve to death..."

"As expected, weeds, I knew you were the Wenquxing who descended to earth. Even the students and master of the academy were impressed by you and refused to let you drop out of school."

When the two village chiefs learned all this, they burst into laughter.

A smile finally broke out on the haggard cheeks.

They knew that Zhao Xuanqi was very good at reading and definitely had a talent for reading, but they didn't expect that this talent would be so terrifying.

But after laughing, their faces were full of shame.

My own clan members are so poor that just scraping together a study fee, pen, ink, paper and inkstone almost cost the lives of their entire village.

They were unable to raise the funds for Zhao Xuanqi's studies. Instead, they needed outsiders such as students who were studying to help them raise the funds. They also needed teachers from the college to use money to support the village and help the village survive the disaster years...

With this money, people will no longer starve to death in the village, and this disaster year will no longer look terrible.

They dragged down Zhao Xuanqi.

The village chief and Zhao Asan looked remorseful and felt ashamed for a moment.

"Don't worry, village chief. With this money, I can study with peace of mind. I will definitely get a good score in the scientific examination in half a year. When I gain fame, I will be able to repay everyone and everyone who helped me." .”

Zhao Xuanqi said solemnly.

"Repaying the favor after passing the exam? That will be a matter for the future. Are you grateful to others now?"

"I thanked them."

"How can you just say thank you verbally? This saved our life. If we didn't have this money, we really don't know what we would do. The village has also been subsidized. How can this kind of life-saving grace be so scrawled? ? If people who don’t know better still think that the people in our village don’t understand the world and only take advantage of others.”

When the village chief and Zhao Asan heard Zhao Xuanqi's words, they suddenly said: "Please take us to meet your classmates and teachers. As elders, we will come to thank you."

Zhao Xuanqi nodded.

Next, he took the village chief and Uncle Zhao to the dormitory and met his classmates.

Unexpectedly, the moment they met, the village chief and Zhao Asan knelt down and kowtowed to several students.

The two older men just knelt down to the group of teenagers with sincere and grateful expressions.

"I'm really grateful to you young masters. Without your help, it's still unknown whether Zhao Xuanqi could study."

"Zhao Xuanqi's grades are so good. He shouldn't drop out of school like this. There's no need to pay such a courtesy." As he said that, several students helped the two of them up.

In the following time, the two elders thanked several students one by one, solemnly and seriously.

Zhao Xuanqi never expected that their thanksgiving etiquette would be so solemn, even including kneeling and worshiping.

When walking out of the dormitory, the village chief said earnestly: "People's hearts are complicated. There are many evil people out there who will often add insult to injury. They will do bad things to their heart's content when you are in crisis, ridicule you, insult you, and wish you would never recover, so in times of crisis you can For those who really help you, your thank you gift must be in place, because these people are your true friends, and you should be grateful no matter how much you do."

Uncle Zhao also said: "When someone helped you this time, you simply thanked them verbally. Although you promised to repay them in the future, for them, it is invisible and intangible. They are all empty words and will not be taken seriously. Once you want others to help you, it will be more difficult. Therefore, once outsiders help you, we must thank them, give a big gift, and show our gratitude. People will feel that they are valued, and they will be willing to do so next time. Take action." As authentic mountain villagers, this is the way they deal with others.

It is also the principle of how little people behave.

Only in this way can we survive in this cruel world, just like weeds, indomitable.

Zhao Xuanqi suddenly realized: "I have learned a lesson."

In modern society, human touch is relatively weak and face is more important. When others help themselves, how many people are willing to give a big gift and solemnly thank them?
Many people find it very embarrassing to kowtow in front of outsiders and express gratitude to a benefactor, even if it is someone who has done them a lot of favors.

In fact, others will not think you are embarrassed at all. Seeing you kneeling down to thank your benefactor, they will think that you are a kind person who can give such a big gift when being rescued and that you are worthy of being rescued.

The benefactor also gains face, feels valued, and will be more willing to lend a helping hand to you and rescue you in the future.

If someone helps you a lot and saves your life, you will only verbally thank you and make some empty promises. When passersby pass by, they will feel that you are unreasonable. They spent a lot of money to help you, but you only received a blank check of thanks. , I don’t know if it will actually be fulfilled in the future. Who is willing to help you again?

Zhao Xuanqi kept the words of the village chief and Uncle Zhao firmly in mind. This would be a great fortune in his life.

Next, Zhao Xuanqi took the two of them to meet Master Zhou. They also bowed to Master Zhou and thanked Master Zhou for his support to the village and thanked him for his support to Zhao Xuanqi. The two village chiefs kept kowtowing on the ground.

As two elders, they expressed their gratitude with the utmost courtesy without any regard for face.

This is the ancient world. Even if many poor people starve to death, no rich people will be subsidized. How can the village not be moved to the ground by being so subsidized now?
Master Zhou immediately helped the two of them up, looking flattered: "Zhao Xuanqi's literary talent is the best I have ever seen. He will be a big shot in the future, so you don't need to be so courteous."

"We must thank you. Zhao Xuanqi will become a high official in the future. That is a matter for the future. We will talk about it later. After all, if he cannot become a high official, wouldn't it be that your support was in vain? We should thank you now for what we are doing now. Please accept us again. Thank you.” The village chief thanked him solemnly.

Zhao Xuanqi also saluted and thanked him again.

Afterwards, the two village chiefs bid farewell to Zhao Xuanqi before leaving the academy.

Zhao Xuanqi stood on the steps of the academy and watched the two elders pour into the sea of ​​people until they could no longer be seen.

Only then did I remember that when I left the village, I had not had time to thank every villager.

Unconsciously, my eyes were already red.

In fact, it is these tribesmen who have worked the most for themselves, and they are the ones who should be thanked the most.

He clenched his hands.

Next, I must get a good score in the scientific examination, stand out, and let all the villagers live a good life!

The kindness of a drop of water is repaid with a spring of joy.

that's it.

The days passed by.

Autumn turns to winter, winter turns to spring.

Six months passed.

After much anticipation, the imperial examination is finally here!
