Rebirth: I Carry A Desktop Computer Inside Me - #4 - Chapter 4 Is It Difficult To Memorize A Modern Chinese Dictionary?

Jiang Cheng planned to go home for dinner, buy some tutorial books, and get a haircut.

Afternoon get out of class ends at 6 o’clock, and evening self-study is from 7 to 10 o’clock.

From Jiang Cheng’s point of view, high school, especially senior year, is really tiring. He studies, does questions, and takes exams all day long, all in preparation for the college entrance examination.

But after actually staying for this day, Jiang Cheng still felt very fulfilled.

I don’t have a smartphone with me, so I can’t read Douyin, Bilibili, Zhihu or Weibo, but I don’t feel empty.

Jiang Cheng didn’t feel any loss since he didn’t have time to go to Internet cafes or play games.

Reading, and only reading, can make Jiang Cheng feel fulfilled and satisfied.

Riding an old bicycle, Jiang Cheng quickly arrived at the Cross Street District. He first found a barber shop and had his hair cut into a short crew cut.

The original non-mainstream outfit changed a lot in one go.

“Still a bit handsome.” Ignoring the immatureness of his clothes for the moment, Jiang Cheng looked at himself in the mirror and was quite satisfied.

He has a pretty good figure, neither fat nor thin. At 1.80 meters tall, he is considered tall in the team.

After paying the money with satisfaction, Jiang Cheng went to the bookstore to browse.

Pengcheng Bookstore.

This bookstore is the largest and most popular bookstore in Cross Street. As soon as you enter the door, you feel that there are piles of supplementary books and test questions. Further inside, there are some literature, reference books and other books.

Obviously, it specializes in teaching guidance books for elementary schools, middle schools and high schools.

There were more people at this time, and Jiang Cheng felt a little depressed when walking in the narrow corridor.

The tutoring books in the college entrance examination series are relatively obvious. For example, the three-year simulation of the five-year college entrance examination is a thick one, which is placed in the most conspicuous position.

After a brief flipping through, Jiang Cheng first took two volumes of mathematics and physics, and a three-year simulation of the five-year college entrance examination. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take more, but that his wallet was empty.

If you have time, come here to “read”.

Looking at the mountain-like pile of tutorial books, Jiang Cheng felt a little hungry.

But buying them all is naturally impossible. Jiang Cheng had a half-day break on the weekend, and Jiang Cheng planned to come here to have sex for free.

Both books have more than 200 pages and are very thick. After putting them in your schoolbag, your shoulders will obviously feel heavy.

Jiang Cheng’s home is in Nancheng, which is considered a suburb of the city. His father, Jiang Yiping, had been engaged in the sales business of white lotus since he was a child. He saved some money and bought a small store here with an attic room on the second floor.

Fortunately, the height of the second floor is not bad, so it doesn’t feel depressing at all. My mother, Chen Ru, opened a small shop on the first floor, and she also received some insole samples for processing in her free time.

Counting past lives, Jiang Cheng has not been home for some time. At that time, I was wandering outside and accomplishing nothing. I rarely came back except during the Chinese New Year.

Feeling timid near home.

Despite the moment of hesitation, Jiang Cheng chose to let go of the memory of his past life, put down his bicycle, and strode into the store.

The canteen is not big, and the room is filled with daily necessities, snacks and the like.

“Back.” Chen Ru was busy working on the demo. She looked up and saw Jiang Cheng coming back and called out.

For a moment, I felt that my son who came back today was a little different from usual.

“Yeah, Mom.”

Chen Ru didn’t get up either, “The food is ready, go up and eat it.”

Jiang Cheng responded. Although he had something to say in his heart, at this moment, he couldn’t say a word.

Going upstairs, there was a bowl of green vegetables, a bowl of steamed eggs, and a small plate of soup on the small square table next to the kitchen.

After a rare whole day of studying, he only had some steamed buns for lunch. Jiang Cheng, who was already hungry, ate alone.

When the meal was ready, Jiang Cheng went downstairs, replaced Chen Ru, and stayed at the shop by himself to let his mother eat.

Sitting in front of the store, Jiang Cheng took out his math tutorial book and started reading.

From the corner of his eye, he was paying attention to the situation in the store.

Jiang Cheng’s powerful mental arithmetic ability allows Jiang Cheng to completely eliminate the need for manuscript paper and all calculation processes can be presented in his mind.

Chapter one, gathering.

The concept and expression of sets…

This chapter seemed to have little calculation volume and was quite conceptual, which made Jiang Cheng flip through the book very quickly.

Occasionally, guests would come to buy things. Jiang Cheng was busy reading a book while observing the movement with his peripheral vision.

However, most of the people who came to buy things now were snacks, ranging from a few cents to a few yuan, and Jiang Chenghua didn’t need to worry about it.

Chen Ru finished her meal quickly and came down. She saw Jiang Cheng sitting at the door of the store, reading a book seriously.

I felt a little strange in my heart, after all, I had never seen Jiang Cheng reading here before.

“Mom, I don’t have any money, and I want to buy some reference books.” Jiang Cheng closed the book and put it in his school bag.

Chen Ru looked at Jiang Cheng and didn’t answer. In her mind, she thought that Jiang Cheng was planning to find a way to get money to go to the Internet cafe again.

“Chengzi, the college entrance examination is about to take place. You have to calm down.” Chen Ru sighed and said.

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he understood and didn’t mention the money again, and replied “Okay.”

The image of not studying and loving playing games in Internet cafes cannot be reversed in an instant.

That’s all, I have no money so I can “go prostitute for free”.

Jiang Cheng went upstairs first, put a thick Modern Chinese Dictionary (fifth edition) into his school bag, and then came down, “I’m going to study in the evening.”

Chen Ru responded without saying anything more.

——-~＞_＜~+——-

The evening self-study near the third year of high school is naturally no better than that of the first and second grade students. Sometimes exams are organized, and sometimes there are lectures on topics, but most of the time, students mainly focus on answering questions and reviewing.

In the evening, Chinese teacher Jiang Ming leads the class. He never liked studying in the evening, and usually asked everyone to study quietly.

If you have any questions, you can come to him at the podium. At other times, he would not stop students from studying any courses.

After reading Yu Xinran’s notes, Jiang Cheng took out the Modern Chinese Dictionary (fifth edition).

The red cover is still new. Opening the cover, I saw it read: “Compiled by the Dictionary Editorial Office of the Institute of Linguistics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, The Commercial Press, Beijing, 2005.”

For the first time, Jiang Cheng turned over the first page seriously and read it word by word, paragraph by paragraph. From the reprint instructions to the table of contents and examples, to the pronunciation, meaning, and meaning of words…

The book contains more than 65,000 words. Jiang Cheng believes that from now on he will rarely encounter words he does not recognize.

The dictionary is very thick, nearly two thousand pages.

Jiang Cheng also read it very carefully, taking notes and understanding at the same time. He didn’t read ten lines at a time, and it took him almost half a minute to finish reading one page.

Acridine ā, [azine] (āqín), name, a type of organic compound, with a ring structure and containing one or several nitrogen atoms, such as…

Although he only read it for a while, Jiang Cheng felt that he knew so many characters and words for the first time. It was very interesting, especially because many of the words involved all walks of life, subjects, and fields.

Just reading the explanations is already interesting, but what if we delve deeper into these areas to learn more?

Jiang Cheng only felt that he didn’t know how to study in the past and wasted his youth and time.

Qin Jin was reading a novel on the side, and Jiang Cheng looked at the dictionary with concentration on his face. No matter how good the novel was, it was boring to read.

I could only take out the Chinese language book and read it with a frown.

But looking at the constipated expression, you can tell how hard it was for Qin Jin to watch.

By the time they took a break, Qin Jin was already dizzy. He put his arm around Jiang Cheng’s shoulder and said painfully,

“Chengzi, you have really changed. You can actually read a dictionary and still enjoy it.”

“A dictionary is the best reference book. Once you know this, I believe there will be no problems with the previous questions.”

In the Chinese language test paper, the first four multiple-choice questions are generally about pronunciation, typos, idioms, language errors, etc. Each question is worth 3 points, which is easy to get and easy to make mistakes.

“Tch, it’s so thick. What’s the use of reading it? You might as well read the collection of wrong questions!” Qin Jin then pointed at Yu Xinran’s notes, “Have you finished reading the senior monitor’s notes? Why don’t you just show me… …”

“Look, I’ll pay her back after the evening self-study.” Jiang Cheng also felt his eyes were a little dry at this moment, stopped reading, and folded a page in the dictionary.

Page P132.

I just saw this section of cang. It still takes a lot of time to read them all.

Jiang Cheng stretched out and said, “Let’s go outside for a walk.”

The school is located on the outskirts of the county town, and it seems very quiet at night.

Dim street lights, mottled tree shadows, and students coming and going.

Jiang Cheng fell in love with the feeling of campus. This was something he envied every time he walked into Jiangzhou University.

But now he has another chance.

He still remembers that when he first learned to repair computers, his favorite thing was repairing computers for the girls at Jiangzhou University.

Because girls don’t know much about computers, whether it’s reinstalling the system or replacing parts, it’s very smooth.

“Mirror, please accept your efforts these two months and work hard together. Don’t regret it in the future.”

Jiang Cheng didn’t light up a cigarette and simply walked around the campus.

Qin Jin pouted, “I have no hope.”

“Master, consolidate and practice some basic and familiar knowledge, and try to get into college or something.”

Qin Jin’s score is not much different from Jiang Cheng’s, but if he can get more than 340 points, it is estimated that there will be no problem in junior college.

“No, you’ve only had two months. How much can we improve? Aren’t you on the same level as me?” Qin Jin chuckled.

Jiang Cheng smiled and said no more.

Sorry, I’m sorry.

After the evening self-study was over, Jiang Cheng packed up his schoolbag and handed Yu Xinran’s notes back to her.

“finish watching?”

“take note of it.”

“Okay.” Yu Xinran took back the book, smiled slightly, turned and left.

Although the two were in the same class, they were actually not familiar with each other.

After returning home, Jiang Cheng started burning the midnight oil again.

As usual, Chen Ru cooked a portion of lean meat and egg soup to supplement Jiang Cheng’s nutrition when he returned from his late self-study.

Only this time, I saw Jiang Cheng reading a book at the desk very seriously.

“Don’t look at it too late. Take a shower and go to bed early.”

“I know, thank you, Mom.”

“You’ve had your hair cut, and you look more energetic.” Chen Ru touched Jiang Cheng’s head.

Jiang Cheng sipped the soup and said, “Well, I was too sloppy in the past, but I won’t be anymore.”

“That’s good. The college entrance examination is coming soon. Just calm down and prepare well. If you really can’t pass the exam, your father has told you to go to Jiangzhou to learn a trade from your uncle.”

“I see.”

Jiang Cheng knew that that was the path of the previous life, but it would not be the path of this life.

After a brief wash, Jiang Cheng began his memory work again.

By twelve o’clock, two-thirds of it was completed; the next morning, it was the last few pages.

A periodic table of elements and a map of China.

The entire dictionary has been firmly memorized in Jiang Cheng’s mind.
