At the same time, Su Yuan also followed Fang Zheng's gaze downstairs, and happened to see stray cats and dogs playing under a tree.
After waiting for a while, Fang Zheng didn't say anything.
Su Yuan asked: "Master, are you sympathizing with those stray cats and dogs? Well, in today's society, there are always some people who like to buy rather than keep, so there are stray cats and dogs everywhere."
Fang Zheng remained silent.
Su Yuan felt a little bored...
At this time, Qian Ying and Su Cancan also packed up and followed.
Qian Ying asked curiously: "What are you two looking at? What are you talking about?"
Su Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Look at the stray cats and dogs below."
Su Cancan lay on the window and said, "Mom, how about we adopt one."
"No." Qian Ying refused sternly, then changed the topic and asked Fang Zheng: "Master, what are you looking at?"
Su Yuan just wanted to say that the master was in a daze and ignored people, but Fang Zheng smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. When the poor monk saw these cats and dogs, he suddenly thought of a story."
"Story, what story?" Su Cancan asked curiously.
Su Yuan and Qian Ying were also a little curious: "What story?"
Fang Zheng said: "The poor monk was also very naughty when he was young. Once he caught a dog and made sure to let him climb a tree. As a result, the dog did not climb up and almost bit the poor monk."
When Su Cancan heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled and said, "You deserve it."
Fang Zheng continued: "Later I couldn't figure it out, so I went back to the poor monk's master to ask the reason. The poor monk asked: 'Master, why can't dogs climb trees? I kindly taught him to climb trees, why did he bite me?' '"
"What did your master say?" Qian Ying was also a little curious.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "The poor monk's master didn't say anything. Instead, he took the poor monk down the mountain to catch fish. After catching it all afternoon, he caught a small crucian carp as big as a palm. Then the master handed the crucian carp to me and asked me to Teach it how to run on land..."
Su Cancan smiled and said: "Isn't this nonsense? How can the fish run away?"
Fang Zheng said: "Yes, that's what the poor monk said. So the poor monk's master said: 'Yes, how can the fish run on the ground? It can't do things that go against its nature, so why do you have to force it?' '"
As soon as Fang Zheng said this, Su Cancan, who was originally smiling, was suddenly stunned.
Su Yuan and Qian Ying were also stunned, and then they fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and said nothing. He continued to look at the cats and dogs downstairs. After a long time, he said faintly: "Let the dog climb the tree. He will always think that he is a waste. A child who loses confidence is like losing a child." A ship without power and compass is just drifting with the current... Even if it is blown by the wind to the Golden City, so what? The place he goes to is not where he wants to go. Without dreams, what is the difference between being a salted fish? "
When Xianyu heard what was said behind him, he pinched Fang Zheng secretly.
Fang Zheng frowned and did not fight back. Instead, he silently made an account for Xianyu in his mind and would calculate it again when he got back.
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Su Yuan and Qian Ying trembled and subconsciously looked at Su Cancan.
Seeing that the three of them were lost in thought, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, quietly retreated, and left the Su family after using the magical power of Yi Meng Huang Liang.
The three of them didn't know when they woke up. Anyway, the moment they woke up, Su Yuan and Qian Ying said to Su Cancan in unison: "Cancan, why don't you go learn painting tomorrow?"
Then the two of them were stunned, looked at each other, and then laughed.
Su Cancan covered her smiling face in disbelief and screamed: "Really?!"
"When did dad lie to you? But if you want to thank him, you'd better thank the master... uh, where's the master?" Su Yuan was about to point to his side when he realized that Fang Zheng was gone.
Su Cancan quickly searched the house, but couldn't find Fang Zheng, and said, "He seems to be gone."
Qian Ying walked over, put her arm around Su Cancan's shoulders, and said, "Cancan, when you go out this time, you meet a noble person. This master is a capable person, and your father and I suddenly realized what he said. To be honest, these things We all understand the truth, but we don’t know why. When he said this, we really thought about it seriously. In the past, I thought that if you have a good future, a good job, and no worries about food and drink, what else can you do? All good. But now it seems..."
Su Yuan nodded and said: "Now it seems that it is just a living and beautiful puppet. Cancan, go pursue what you want, your parents support you!"
"Thank you, Mom and Dad..." Su Cancan cried. She threw herself into her mother's arms and cried loudly. She couldn't stop crying. While crying, she said, "Thank you, thank you... Wuwu... I have been waiting for this day for more than ten years." , wuwu... Mom, let me tell you, I secretly went to the national competition and won the second prize in the city and the national excellence award... "
Hearing this, Qian Ying and Su Yuan were obviously stunned. They looked at each other and saw the regret in each other's eyes. In their eyes, Su Cancan has always been that stupid kid who likes to make trouble and can't do anything well. They never expected that this stupid kid would achieve such an achievement through self-study, secret study, and secret practice!
The two of them thought about the story Fang Zheng told and what Fang Zheng said, and once again strengthened their thoughts. Perhaps, cultivating children according to their interests and talents is the best way to cultivate them.
Being hugged by her parents, although Su Cancan was crying, her heart was filled with a sense of happiness she had never felt before. At the same time, there was a shadow in her heart, the tattered clothes, the fair-skinned and delicate little monk... She muttered in her heart: "Where have you been? Although not as handsome as Abbot Fangzheng, but... thank you..."
"Master, why don't you spend the night at Su's house? If we keep going, we will sleep on the street." Xianyu muttered.
Fang Zheng said: "If you want to sleep on the road, just sleep on the road. With your physique like a teacher, sleeping on the road is okay."
Xianyu thought about the same truth, so he changed the topic and asked: "Master, you just left so easily, why did you go back and lie on the door and eavesdrop?"
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "I left because I wanted to give them space for their private emotions to explode. I eavesdropped because I wanted to see what the results would be. If the two words I said as a teacher don't work, I have to find another way. …”
Xianyu was stunned, and then he said: "Master, actually, I don't agree with what you are doing. When I was surfing the Internet, I saw someone saying that although the current education is not the best, it is already the fairest. This is the way for poor children to make a comeback... If you trick other people's children into learning painting, what will happen if they don't get into college? Even if they do, it seems like it's not that easy to survive painting now, right?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "There are no easy jobs in the world. All jobs are reserved for people with excellent skills. If people don't work hard, they can just move bricks. There are three hundred and sixty professions, and the number one person can win in any profession." To the extreme, life will not be bad. As for the learning you mentioned, this is indeed a problem.
However, this problem does not exist in Su Cancan's family. Her family has the conditions to support her embarking on the path of painting.
As for what you said, they are ordinary families. For them, in the current social environment, it is also an option to put everything aside temporarily to fight for the future. Once they have a future, they can return to their original aspirations. Sometimes, ideals also need to be based on reality, otherwise, it will be a castle in the air. This is also the helplessness of reality... "
