Casually, this daughter and sister, whom parents love, didn't like luxury since she was a child. She doesn't wear jewelry or satin, and she is friends with poetry, books, writing, pens, ink, piano and chess all day.
Father said, "Although you are rich, you are still frugal. You really failed your rich life. " She said, "Isn't it more interesting to be a rich and poor lady?"
/kloc-at the age of 0/8, she married Su Xun, whose family circumstances were far worse than hers, but her literary fame was quite high. After arriving at Sue's home, she waited on her in-laws and did housework. She can afford everything and put everything down, without the charm and extravagance of a rich woman at all. Su Xun's grandmother is over 70 years old, and her temper is surly, so all her family stay away from her. Cheng brings tea and water every day, sweeps and wipes his back, and the old lady smiles happily all day. When I first arrived at Sue's home, Su Xun's parents were afraid that the young lady would be uncomfortable in this poor family. I didn't expect the petite girl to be so simple and hardworking and have such a good daughter-in-law, which really surprised Sue's family.
Cheng * * * gave birth to six children, three men and three women, but the eldest son and three daughters died unfortunately, leaving Su Shi and Su Zhe behind. She loves these two sons in every way, but the more she loves them, the less she likes them. She thinks arrogance contributes to stupidity, while indifference is a great talent. To this end, together with her husband, she trained her children with strict educational methods and tried to lead them to success as soon as possible.
There is a small garden in Sujia, which is full of all kinds of flowers and plants. The scenery is elegant and it is a good place for children to play.
One day, five-year-old Su Shi came to the garden with his younger brother. In the bushes, a pair of beautiful orioles are singing, one sentence at a time, one sentence at a time, ups and downs, and the two little guys stand still for half a ring.
Little Su Shi rolled his eyes, patted his younger brother, squatted down and found a bamboo pole. Su Zhe, a look, also took a stone in his hand. "It's so beautiful, take them back!"
They held their breath, crept, bent and slowly approached the birds. On the verge of reaching the two beautiful elves, Su Shi raised his bamboo pole and said to his younger brother, "Fight!" Swing to the bushes.
"Stop fighting!" Drink lightly, and let the holding bamboo pole and holding hand stop in mid-air. The two brothers looked back in surprise, and Yang, the nanny at home, looked at them with a smile.
"Hmm ..." The brothers looked at Yang, then at the flying birds, bamboo poles and stones, all of which fell to the ground.
Cheng believes that human nature is good. To be kind, you must have a loving heart. Children's love should be cultivated from the beginning. Only when we love our elders, brothers, family and partners from childhood will we love our nation and our country when we grow up. This kind of love is not only for people, but also for things and nature. Therefore, she made strict rules not to harm beneficial flowers, plants, insects and birds. Offenders are not allowed to enter the park for a few days This regulation makes Sujia Garden the safest and most lively place for birds and butterflies to live and play in this area. Colorful lanterns are flying and songbirds are singing in the garden every day, which is particularly charming. Beautiful mind, from the beginning of life, when children were very young, stone achievements planted the seeds of love in their hearts. This kind of love has gradually become the spiritual pillar to support career and life.
It is not enough for children to succeed. Noble integrity and lofty aspirations are indispensable driving forces to promote children's growth. Cheng has a deep understanding of this and puts it into the daily education of children.
Since the Su brothers were two or three years old, Cheng began to assign homework every day and teach children to read and write. The children are still young, and the existing enlightenment books are still profound. She found many historical stories of famous people with lofty ideals from ancient poetry classics as teaching materials and gave lectures to children. She said to the children: "Reading and literacy is not for being an official, not for eating, nor for fame and fortune, but for understanding and learning to be a man. Be upright when you grow up. I can do this, and I will die without regret. "
On one occasion, she told the children "The Biography of Fan Pang in the Later Han Dynasty". Fan Pang grew up with integrity. During his tenure as an official in Runan, he was deeply loved by the people in addition to restraining tyrants and rehabilitating the people. In order to oppose the dictatorship of traitors, he wrote a letter to impeach traitors, but he was framed and sentenced to death. Before his execution, he advised his mother not to be sad. Fan Mu said: "People are based on honesty, and honesty exists. What is the length of life? You can't have life and integrity at the same time, you should lay down your life for justice. You died for righteousness today, and mom is happy for you! " At this point, Cheng's eyes were filled with tears, and he almost sighed. Sushi looked at her mother and said seriously, "Mom, I will be like Fan Pang when I grow up." Cheng hugged his son, kissed his face flushed with excitement and said, "Good! What a good boy! "
Since then, Su Shi's brothers and sisters have taken Fan Pang, who is interested in clarifying the world, as an example, taking moral integrity as the foundation of life and studying harder in order to be respected and admired by everyone when they grow up.
When Su Shi's brothers came of age, they all became famous politicians and writers. In the fierce political disputes in the Northern Song Dynasty, whether explicit or derogatory, whether safe or dangerous, they all faced life with innocent and upright personality, and won people's wide respect for their tenacious pursuit of justice and childlike sincerity. The tree of justice planted by their mother has been born and grown in the hearts of the two brothers. Cheng has sent the children to school since they were 6 years old. Different from other children, as soon as Cheng reviewed his lessons after school, he asked the Su brothers to pick up hoes, bring saplings and plant pine trees in their ancestral home.
In spring, drizzle soaked their clothes; In summer, the hot sun tanned their delicate skin; The autumn wind dyed their faces copper; The winter snow left clear footprints for them. In this way, day after day, year after year, the barren mountains turn green with the children. After more than ten years, the loess slope disappeared, and a lush forest covered the sky and turned into a green ocean.
From planting trees for the first time to leaving home to be an official, planting pine has always been an indispensable part of Su Shi's daily life. As long as he is free, Cheng will plant pine trees, plant land and water the land with the children. In the pine forest, children's frolicking sounds came from time to time; In the shade of the tree, mother told one touching story after another to the children sitting around her. Here, it is a classroom for children to temper their will; Here, it is a gym that builds a strong body. Labor has increased children's knowledge; Labor enriches children's lives; Labor purifies children's minds. Cheng's practice has had a great influence on children's growth.
After the Gong brothers left home, they kept close contact with ordinary people wherever they went. No matter how big the official is, wherever he goes, he digs, ditches, plants trees and transforms the environment. Su Shi was demoted several times in his life and wandered around, but wherever he went, the barren hills were green, and Cheng was a wasteland, dozens of miles away. Everyone knows that there is a "planting pine king" here, and his "Dongpo lay man planting pine method" has been circulated for many years. He served as the prefect of Hangzhou, and Xizi Lake became a colorful and lush resort. He lives in Huangzhou where he grows rice, mulberry and fish to support his family. During her labor, she recited famous sentences line by line and wrote famous articles one by one. As an adult, he wrote the poem "The old man returned to Yuyuan Mountain and planted 30,000 pine trees with his own hands".
Cheng planted saplings in the children's hearts, and the children planted trees now. The seedlings in their hearts and the trees in Shan Ye are thriving, telling people this ordinary and profound truth.
From the age of 10, Su Shi took his younger brother to Shou Chang Academy in the west of the city. The two brothers are diligent, diligent and clever, and they are praised by more than 0/00 famous teachers in the hospital.
The school is far from home, so if the children don't go home at noon, they will bring their own food to eat at school. When eating, it is the happiest and most lively time for children. This one takes out the cake and that one takes out the steamed stuffed bun, and all kinds of things are dazzling. However, only the Su Shi brothers have only one bowl and one dish. There is white rice in the bowl, and a few white radishes and a pinch of white salt in the dish. Brothers, radish dipped in salt is happy. One day, two days, every day, my husband couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Su Shi, come to my place to eat something."
"It's hard to study. Bring something delicious. "
"No, my mother said that eating coarse cloth is the foundation of nourishing nature. Only by standing the test can you become a person."
As a result, the "three white banquets" of white rice, white radish and white salt grains became the nickname for teachers and students to call Su Shi's brothers lunch.
They eat "three whites", but they can learn, but the two brothers are "three beauties", with good literature, good books and good character. When Su Shi was ten years old, he wrote, "People can break a wall of thousands of dollars, but they can't lose their voices in the process of breaking; You can beat a tiger, but you can't lose your color in the bite of a bee. This proverb amazes the world. There is a poem by Mr. Liu of Shouchang Academy, which reads: "The fisherman suddenly rises and the snowflake floats against the wind." . After reading it, Su Shi proposed to change it to "Falling Snow and Sorrow". Mr. Wang sang for a while and deeply admired the student's talent.
"Wan Song" and "Three White Banquets" are Cheng's carefully planned parenting methods. In the second year of Song Jiayou (AD 1057), just as she was addicted to life and dying, good news came. Su Shi and Su Zhe were both top students in high school, which shocked the capital with their literary names and attracted people's attention. She smiled.
