Chapter 19 18. Dalu

Newly bought B5 book: hello. I started using notebooks when I was very young. When I first learned to write with a pen, I used a matt style book.The Tian characters are green, and there are thin red diagonal dotted lines printed inside the Tian characters.Each matt is a tight hoop.The Chinese teacher asked us to write every Chinese character in a square and smooth way, with the corner on the upper left, the calf on the lower right, and the penis in the middle.The Chinese teacher admired Pang Zhonghua the most, and asked us to have a copy of "Pang Zhonghua Pen Copybook", because all the characters he wrote, the horns, calves and dicks are in the right place.A little hooligan in the class asked the Chinese teacher, why isn't Pang Zhonghua's family all surnamed Tian?I asked the Chinese teacher, there are printing presses to print the People's Daily, why do we still write Chinese characters like this?The Chinese teacher said, you two hooligans, what are you thinking?I said what to do, you have to do what.If you say it again, go and copy "The Golden Hook". "Golden Fishhook" tells the story of an old Red Army and a young Red Army on the Long March, fishing, and cooking fish soup. It was the longest article in the primary school textbook at that time, with more than 3,000 words.Copy it once, and a grid book will be filled.

The second type of book commonly used at that time was called exercise book, which was printed with a dark blue striped grid, and it was freer to write than matts, and it was usually thicker than matts.The manuscript I saw for the first time was copied from this kind of book.The first two pages of that book were copied from Lu Xun's "A Little Thing", and on the third page were cousins, cousins, thighs, groping, and beds.The notebook has been flipped through repeatedly, and even touched by oneself. There are oil stains and sweat stains, and it is thicker than ordinary exercise books.It is estimated that there are four to five thousand words, and the more impatient the people copying, the more messy the characters are at the back.Under some sentences, there are small characters in the second, third or even fourth font, and some are comments: "Isn't it like this?", "Really?", "How can it take an hour?", etc., Some are extensions, and some are extensions of extensions.After reading it, I often think of that manuscript when I read a place where the style of writing is a bit broken.I suspect that maybe it was originally a small-scale novel about world affairs, but it became a large-scale pornographic novel because people with debts repeatedly expanded it during reading.

The third commonly used notebook is called work diary.It is made of kraft paper or a kind of cyan-blue skin, and the four red letters of "work diary" are printed in the upper middle.Don't know why there is no "study diary" or "study notes", anyway, we use this kind of notebook with those who really work and earn money.This kind of book is much thicker than the exercise book, and the pages inside are simply printed with light red horizontal lines.I don't like to take class notes. I usually use this kind of work diary to write miscellaneous notes.When you open your mind, you will see the thoughts of strange powers and chaotic spirits, lewdness and thieves, and celestial maidens scattering flowers, like flies, dragonflies, butterflies, fallen leaves, and falling flowers.Stretch out the pen and fish it into the notebook, and on the paper are flies, dragonflies, butterflies, fallen leaves, and falling flowers.

When I was in college, I started using A4 size notebooks.This kind of book is only bound at the top, and the other three sides are loose. There is a dark line near the binding line on the inner page. Along the dark line, a page can be torn off neatly.Some variants, with two or three more holes on the left side of the book, can be kept in the matching binder.I still don't like to take notes in class. This bad habit has brought me down at least two grades in my college exams. I use this kind of notebook to write letters.At that time, my first love was in Shanghai, and I was in Beijing, and we wrote letters to each other every two or three days.I wrote a page, tore off a page, folded it, and put it in an envelope, thinking, these pages, when they arrived in Shanghai, she accumulated them one by one, forming a complete book.My first love was a very reserved Virgo. At that time, I always felt that the letters she wrote to me were not sweet enough. Every day was just a little comfort. I hope it will be more popular.In the past few years, I re-read it very occasionally, and found that her letter was already very hot, unrestrained, full of little girls, almost a normal girl in that era, no matter how hot she wrote, she copied it in the exercise book , Put it in middle school, and it will become a manuscript.Later I asked her, are those letters I wrote still there?At that time, I wrote it for more than a year, and I wanted to copy it and keep it as a backup.She said, those letters, troubles, one Spring Festival, owed money, were all burned.

After work, I went out to interview for the first time, interviewing several barefoot doctors in Mianzhu, Sichuan.After the interview, the boss who went with me showed me the notes he had taken, four pages full of A4 paper, "a good memory is not as good as a bad pen".After that, I started using a B5-sized accounting book with black leather and red ridges.Each page is lined from top to bottom, divided into sevens and threes. The larger part is related to recording work, and the smaller column continues to record the flies and falling flowers that were used to record in the past.On the front page of the book, write the date when you started using this book, your name and mobile phone number. If you lose it, the person who finds it will find me easily. There is also a sentence or two of "Think big, start small. Live in groups and keep your mouth shut, live alone "Keep your heart", "Don't worry, don't be afraid, shameless" and other inspiring words to motivate yourself, recite them when you are dizzy, and strengthen the small universe.

Over the years, these notebooks, together with the previous "work diaries", have thirty or forty volumes, and they are lined up on the bookshelves, which is a bit spectacular.The time that has been spent is all here, and I can't go back, just like this row of books can't be turned back to blank again. People can't get rid of time, but they can get rid of the habit of using notebooks.Ever since laptops came into my life, I've been trying to get rid of paper notebooks.Come to think of it, electronic notebooks have many advantages, such as easy to recognize fonts, easy retrieval and search, multitasking, recording when you want to concentrate on recording, and checking emails and web pages when you don’t want to record. Others only know that you are recording. I will think you are impolite.

Try to find a thin and light laptop.I have heard of but failed to find the legendary Apple Newton. I tried Sony's first-generation VAIO-P carefully, and the battery can only last for a little more than an hour. It is really a lack of thoughtfulness.Sony's latest ultra-thin notebook computer is 5 grams lighter than the iPad, and the battery life is not bad, but it is a PC after all. Waiting for WINDOW to turn on and then open WORD to start recording, the meeting is over. iPad is the most likely choice: full-screen handwriting, 10 hours of battery life, looks like a notebook.I barely used it as a paper notebook, but after a week, I found that it still didn't work.First, compared to writing with a pen on a paper notebook, it is much more complicated: press the power button, swipe horizontally to unlock, enter a password to unlock, click on an application software, create a new file, and so on. After more than a dozen actions, you can start recording.Second, if I write too much, my index finger can't stand it, and the distal interphalangeal joints will hurt.I write with my middle finger instead, because I am afraid that other people in the meeting will feel that my middle finger is always pointing at them, and feel awkward.Third, on the seventh day after intensive use, the jailbroken iPAD software system crashed, and everything recorded in the past week was gone.

So I throw in the towel.Well, after wasting a thousand book dollars on electronic gadgets, and dozens of long, boring nights wrestling with software systems, book, I throw in the towel, I can't live without you.I honestly bought ten new B5-sized notebooks, waiting to record those experiences, understandings, flies and falling flowers in the time God left me.
