After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

"The Little Match Girl", the name doesn't tell you what kind of story this is.

Dad Zhou habitually paid attention to the author, which is also a small habit he has when reading.

Because I also had a dream of becoming a writer when I was in school, I would deliberately collect articles from writers who I thought were good and imitate their writing style.

Lu Qingfeng.

No impression at all.

Unlike Qiu Ji, the author of the previous two articles, he remembered that when he went to the bookstore to buy books for his daughter, he noticed that the author had published a collection of fairy tales.

Of course, this thought only flashed through my mind, and I had no other thoughts.

There are so many fairy tale writers in China, but except for the most famous ones, most of the others are unknown.

As his daughter Zhou Jiahui opened the main text, he also focused on the words.

Opening point.

It was New Year's Eve, a time for family reunion, but a poor little girl was selling matches on the street wearing slippers that didn't fit her.

Pedestrians hurried past and no one paid any attention to her.

The cold and hungry little girl hid between two houses, where she thought there was no wind, and lit a match.

In the firelight, the poor little girl saw everything she wanted.

But the reality was cruel. The next day, she was found dead on the street.

Father Zhou was stunned and subconsciously hugged his daughter.

This doesn't seem like a fairy tale, but more like a tragedy.

The author uses words to skillfully guide the reader's inner emotions in the article.

At the beginning, the huge contrast of the background of New Year's Eve is used to shape the pity of the little girl.

At the end, the little girl said to her grandmother in the firelight, "Take me away."

That kind of strong emotional impact.

To be honest, Zhou's father admitted that the story was indeed well written.

The author has a strong writing style. Without using flowery words, he brings the whole story to life on paper with just a few strokes.

But, this story is not suitable for children.

"Dad, why doesn't anyone want to buy the little girl's matches?"

Dad Zhou finished reading it, and his daughter Zhou Jiahui also finished reading it and looked at her old father questioningly.

Dad Zhou was stunned.

"If someone was willing to buy the little girl's matches, she would have earned money and could go home. Her parents wouldn't have beaten her, and she wouldn't have to die, right?"

Adults and children see the world differently.

While Zhou's father was struggling with the problems of the story itself, Zhou Jiahui sympathized with the characters in the story.

Dad Zhou laughed.

"You're right, what should you do if you meet a little girl?"

"I will buy all the matches she has, but Mom has to return the New Year's money she saved to me."

"Hahaha, okay, I'll mention this to your mother and ask her to save it."

Dad Zhou hugged his daughter happily.

"Keep turning the pages. There's another story that Dad wants to read too."

The last story was "The Ugly Duckling". Dad Zhou noticed that the author was also Lu Qingfeng, and he became extra excited.

"The Ugly Duckling" is a typical anthropomorphic fairy tale and also the most commonly used type of fairy tale.

Longer words, more interesting stories, and more philosophical thoughts.

Putting aside Zhou's father, Zhou Jiahui showed more interest than in the previous articles.

They will complain about the bantam's old-fashionedness, feel sorry for the ugly duckling's fate, and feel sorry for the protagonist who finally turns into a white swan.

At the end, there is a reader survey where readers rate and comment on the five recommended stories.

An adult might have just skipped it, but Zhou Jiahui gave her suggestions seriously.

She gave "Little Grass" and "Wild Rose" three stars, and unexpectedly gave four stars to "The Bear and the Bees", which Zhou's father was not optimistic about.

Dad Zhou was a little surprised and couldn't help asking.

"Huihui, don't you like these two stories?"

Zhou Jiahui nodded.

"It's not interesting at all."

Dad Zhou was stunned at first, then he reacted.

Indeed, for children, whether they can continue reading a story depends first on whether it is interesting.

And then the rest.

"Little Grass" and "Wild Rose" may seem educational to adults, but they are boring to children.

While not very deep, The Bear and the Bees is certainly entertaining.

Now to the last two articles.

Zhou Jiahui gave "The Little Match Girl" four stars because the little girl was so pitiful.

"The Ugly Duckling" five stars because she likes the ending.

Click Submit.

"It's done."

He clapped his hands like a little adult, as if he had accomplished something great.

Just as I was about to read articles in other columns, Zhou Ma's voice came.

"Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

The father and daughter then left the desk.

There are not many cases like the Zhou family. Most children read books by themselves.

The group that subscribes to "Children's Literature" is middle and upper grades of elementary school and junior high school students.

These children have begun to develop their own appreciation abilities, and research on new high-quality articles is being continuously sent back to the magazine.

……

"Club week is about half a month away. Is your club ready?"

After evening self-study, Lu Qingfeng, Liu Xin, Hou Xiaobing, and Lu Hui bought fried skewers at the snack shop at the back door of the school.

Lu Hui brought up a hot topic on campus right now.

"What's there to prepare for? It's the same every year, just going through the motions, inviting reporters to interview us, just for the sake of formality."

Hou Xiaobing swallowed the fried chicken fillet in his mouth and complained.

Liu Xin next to him nodded in agreement.

No. 3 Middle School is not a key high school, and its admission rate is not ranked high in the city.

But all the necessary things are there.

High school clubs don’t really mean much to students.

I did participate, but didn't have much time to participate in club activities.

After all, China does not have the happy education system like Japan or America.

School ends at 2:30 in the afternoon, leaving enough time for students to participate in club life.

So, Club Week came into being.

Every semester, there is one week in the afternoon for students to participate in club activities.

The activity is good, but not many schools can actually implement it. It would be good if they could spare one day, but forget about it for a week.

Moreover, basically only the first and second year high school students participate, and the third year high school students can do whatever they want.

There is no way, this is the reality. Schools, teachers, and parents are all keeping a close eye on students' scores, and no one can take responsibility for a decline in grades.

For example, Hou Xiaobing did not join any clubs, and he did not have the time.

But it doesn’t matter for poor students like Liu Xin.

Liu Xin, who is tall and strong, joined the basketball club, while Lu Hui joined the table tennis club.

Including Lu Qingfeng, he only recently found out that he was a member of the film club.

"The basketball club has signed up for a five-on-five competition, and the table tennis club is doing the same. What about you, Afeng? Is the film club still making short films like before?"

"Ah? I don't know either."

Lu Qingfeng was chewing fried fish without any appetite, his mind completely unconcerned with the conversation between the others.

Ever since the day before yesterday, when the news of the article being published in the magazine reached the school, the nine-tailed fox began to move strangely in the depths of his consciousness.

Today, when the magazine "Children's Literature" was published, he felt that this situation was becoming more frequent and more intense.

So much so that he had no mind to do anything else the whole day today and was always paying attention to the changes in the inheritance.

By night, he could feel that he was only one level away from the second activation.
