When I was a child, my family was poor, and my stomach was always empty like a field with a bad harvest. However, my spirit has eaten luxurious abalone and sea cucumber for many years. It is books that nourish the spirit. Hard-pressed parents may only have vegetables and tofu on the table, but there is always a shortage of books at home. After dinner, it is a good time for the family to enter the world of words.
Studying alone is totally different from studying at home. The newly bought book has a faint ink smell and smells good. It can make all the heart leaves fragrant. The sound of turning pages in the room is like nature. It's obviously just a book, but when you hold it in your hand, everyone becomes a puppet who can't help crying and laughing.
At the moment when my father laughed with a book in his hand, I saw the sad world with tears in my mother's eyes: when my father was busy writing eyebrows on a serious political book, my mother happily underlined the punch line she found in Miao Yan. When there is a bright idea between the lines, parents will always read it excitedly and let each other share their spiritual assets.
What about us children? In the fragrance of Wu Ying, we randomly select books scattered around to read. In that slightly literate era, you can only read with a little knowledge and can't understand it; Read, read, understand and dance wholeheartedly.
Reading, a beautiful hobby, is like a seed, which germinates and grows in the hearts of our four brothers and sisters. It keeps growing. At this point, it has grown into a deep-rooted giant tree, which cannot be shaken at all. Books, for us, are omnipotent.
When the boat of life encounters stormy waves, books are a safe haven for our peace of mind; When overwork turns our heart into a leaf, we use books to smooth the wrinkles in our hearts: when unresolved sadness forces us into a dark corner, books are bundles of brilliant sunshine; Books are like our vitamins when our brains are malnourished.
The reason why books are deeply embedded in our flesh and blood and bone marrow and closely become a part of our lives is because our parents taught us by example from an early age that books are the eternal Garden of Eden: both cotton candy for children and peanut candy for adults; Cotton candy is soft and delicious, and peanut candy is hard and delicious, which can bring pleasant sweetness to the taste buds of life.
Modern reading atmosphere is not strong. When analyzing the reasons why young people don't like reading, most people blame it on diversified entertainment, heavy schoolwork or too much work pressure, which makes them too busy to be distracted or weak. That's not true.
I think the real key is that when they were young, they didn't fatten their brains with books. When they are adults, of course, they will not "eat the marrow to know the taste" to pursue the taste of books! There are thousands of different excuses for not reading extracurricular books. There is only one simple reason for reading extracurricular books: happiness.
When parents pile up their children's childhood with delicious food and toys, children are of course happy, but that kind of happiness is sweet and short-lived, and it can't extend to the adult world endlessly; However, if far-sighted parents can introduce their young children into the world of words, it is equivalent to giving them a gift of lifelong preservation.
Talking to Siqi recently, she recalled her "brilliant and barren" childhood in a warm tone. She said: "At that time, my family was in Fujian. Although my family is poor, my family still pays me to rent books to read. Rent a book for 5 cents and return it in a few days. So, I read quickly, and I copied down my favorite chapters word for word.
Put the notebooks in a box, fold them one by one, and copied many copies. The box is full, buy a lock and lock it up. The box is full of treasures! After living in Singapore for many years, that big box is still in my hometown in Fujian! "
This woman, who has a rich childhood, is now engaged in publishing, feeding the spirit of millions of readers in Qian Qian with words. Everyone who loves reading has a wonderful life, and the hobby of reading must be cultivated from an early age.
