The city library opens at 8 o'clock.
It is very convenient to apply for the certificate, just your ID card will do, and a deposit of fifty yuan is required.
Seeing the money soaring to more than 6,000 yuan, Su Xiaoqi took out 50 yuan without even frowning.
Once you have your card, you can go to any reading room. If you want to borrow books, you can only borrow two at a time, and the time limit is one month.
To renew, you need to swipe your library card again.
Su Xiaoqi had never been to the city library before, and she couldn't finish reading all the books in the school library.
But now it's vacation time and she has graduated from high school, so she can't go to the school library anymore.
She has a memory buff for ten days, and today is the third day, so she must make use of it.
She feels that reading is going particularly smoothly recently. Although she doesn't have a photographic memory, she can concentrate more easily than before. After reading carefully two or three times, she can remember it very well.
Because she had to be an English tutor in the afternoon, she went to the foreign language area to choose some books.
She chose two relatively simple foreign language books.
I found a seat, put my schoolbag on the ground, put the filled bottle of boiled water on the table, and started reading.
The two books are "The Little Prince" and "Robinson Crusoe". "The Little Prince" is her favorite book, but she had read the Chinese translation version before.
Today she wanted to try reading the English translation of The Little Prince, which was written by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in 1942.
So the original version should be in French.
However, the default bilingual languages in China are Chinese and English. Xiaoqi really wants to learn French. It would be great if one day he could understand the French version.
The Little Prince was originally classified as children's literature, but for the seventeen-year-old Xiaoqi, it has become a work that he never gets tired of reading.
The words in it always seem amazing, meaningful and concise.
The English version is very detailed and relatively easy to understand because the library's English version has Chinese and English translations.
When you compare them, you get different feelings, and different people's translations are also different.
"The Little Prince" is a very short and thin book, but it still took her almost an hour to finish reading it.
After finishing reading and closing the book, Xiaoqi still felt that he could read it again and would never get tired of it.
She brought paper and pen. During class, the teacher said every day that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Writing it down will help deepen your memory.
She decided to write it down from memory.
The notebook is not fancy, it is just ordinary A4 homework paper, white, but the handwriting looks good.
The pen is a fountain pen, bought by her father as a gift.
People of my father’s generation thought it was cool to write with a fountain pen, and it was handsome to have a fountain pen in their pocket as a decoration.
Su Xiaoqi's father only has a junior high school education, which is considered a high level of education in Gumula Village. However, due to a serious illness, his legs can no longer walk, so he has not been able to go to school.
Therefore, although Mr. Su is lame and disabled and has only one daughter, he does not favor boys over girls and has always supported his daughter's studies.
Using a fountain pen is not only a sentimental thing, but also more economical to use ink.
When the ink falls from the tip of the pen onto the paper.
"we are introduced to the narrator, a pilot, and his ideas about grown-ups..."
The world becomes quiet.
There is no hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window.
No flies on the glass.
There were no people walking around in the library.
There were no young people whispering to each other at the opposite table.
What appeared before Xiaoqi was another world.
This is a pilot's world, and the pilot takes Xiao Qi into another world. When his plane crashes into the desert, a new life journey begins.
The sunlight outside the window slowly crept in.
Climb over the leaves of the green ivy on the windowsill, climb over the bookshelves, and climb over the desks.
At this time, the sunlight has been divided into beams, some wide and some long.
A long beam of sunlight finally fell in front of Xiaoqi, the girl who was writing seriously.
Getting closer little by little.
It climbed onto the clean paper, onto the neat and beautiful English font, and onto her hands.
A pair of slender white hands, without calluses from labor, but with calluses from writing.
There are calluses on the place where you hold the pen, the pads of your thumb and index finger, the side of the first section of your middle finger, and the entire surface of your little finger.
From kindergarten to high school graduation, she has written many, many words.
She also couldn't remember how many pencils, automatic pen refills, ballpoint pens, and bottles of ink she had used.
She is not the hope of the whole village. The villagers have no special expectations of her. At most, she is just a little topic of conversation.
She is the hope of the whole family and her parents.
Like the scholars in ancient times, the whole family would support her studies, hoping that she would succeed and live a better life.
The sunlight climbed to the level of her hand and did not move any further.
Maybe there are curtains blocking it, or bookshelves blocking it, or something else.
The girl Xiaoqi, who had adapted to the light, did not stop and continued writing.
Her handwriting is very beautiful, much better than that of ordinary people.
Because ever since she got the pen her father gave her, she has been paying attention to practicing seriously and has persisted.
The sound of the pen tip touching the paper and the smoothness of the ink are probably one of the most beautiful music in the world.
Time seemed to have stopped.
Or maybe time is also passing, but it is just passing slower. One hour outside is enough for Xiaoqi to wander in the world of the Little Prince for a lifetime.
Reading is beautiful.
The writing is beautiful.
This is probably the most fundamental reason why people study. Getting a high score on the imperial examination and having a golden house and a beautiful wife are just additional rewards.
When writing, your body should be upright and your pen holding posture should also be correct. Otherwise, it will be difficult to keep writing for a long time and you will feel tired and hunched.
The girl in the corner of the library, at this moment, became the best scenery in the library.
There was a schoolbag at her feet.
There are two books and a glass carafe on the table.
Her hair is not long, it is short and tied in a small bun at the end.
Gray T-shirt with a pink puppy pattern on it, khaki shorts, white shoes, seventeen years old.
The passages are filled with English words, sentences and more flowing text on A4 paper.
There was no pause or thought in between. Her profile was a little chubby and very clean.
Someone recorded a short video and posted it on TikTok.
"A young lady who is writing seriously, I dare not disturb her."
Finished. Xiao Qi stood up and turned his neck.
I was shocked to see that I had filled up most of the exercise book.
I didn't realize I had written so much.
"The host writes diligently and joyfully, adding positive energy to society. Rewarded with a Calligraphy Skill Diamond Card. This card can be upgraded. If the host persists in writing for one hour every day, accumulating 100 hours, the card can be upgraded. The host's current calligraphy skill is entry-level."
