The Adventures of Ding Danian: The Adopted Son and the Road to the Champion
In the ancient Jiangnan water town, there was a scholar named Ding Danian. He is humble, outstanding talent, although his family is poor, but he has great ambitions, and yearns for the title of the gold list and the glorious lintel.
On this day, Ding Danian was studying hard in the study, when he suddenly heard a quick knock on the door. He put down the scroll in his hand, got up and opened the door, only to see a ragged and haggard woman standing in the doorway, with tears in her eyes and an anxious expression. The woman, who claimed to be Pan Lian'er, was from a neighboring village, because of a sudden change in her family, her husband died, and her young son, who was raised alone, was seriously ill and unable to heal, so she came to Ding Danian for help.
When Ding Danian heard what happened to Pan Lian'er, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy in his heart. He invited Pan Lian'er into the house and inquired about the situation in detail. Knowing that Pan Lian'er's son was seriously ill and needed a large amount of money to buy medicinal materials, Ding Danian couldn't help frowning. Although he has the heart to help, but his family is poor, how many taels of silver can he come up with?
Pan Lian'er saw Ding Danian's face sad, and her heart sank, but she was unwilling to give up this only hope. With tears in her eyes, she said in a choked voice: "Ding Gongzi, I know that you are a kind person. If you can lend a hand, I would like to entrust my son to you, so that he can learn from you and have a way out in the future. ”
When Ding Danian heard this, his heart was shocked. He looked at Pan Lian'er's expectant and determined eyes, and his heart couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. He knew that although he did not have much wealth, he had a good heart. He thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind, nodded and said, "Lady Pan, I am willing to adopt your son and try my best to cure his illness." Rest assured, I will treat him as my own and teach him carefully. ”
When Pan Lian'er heard this, she was grateful, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank her. Ding Danian helped her up and comforted: "You go back and wait for the news with peace of mind, I will raise silver taels as soon as possible to treat your son." ”
After sending Pan Lian'er away, Ding Danian immediately began to run around to raise silver taels. He borrowed money from relatives and friends, sold some valuable belongings in his family, and finally scraped together enough silver taels to meet his needs. He personally went to the pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs, and invited the best Lang Zhong in the town to treat Pan Lian'er's son.
After some careful treatment, Pan Lian'er's son's condition finally improved. Ding Danian saw that he was recovering day by day, and he was also very relieved. He treated the boy as his own, and taught him not only to read and write, but also to teach him the principles of human life. The child was smart and sensible, and soon established a deep father-son friendship with Ding Danian.
Time flies, and a few years have passed in a blink of an eye. Ding Danian worked hard with the child, not only paying off the family's debts, but also accumulating some silver taels. And that child also made rapid progress in his studies under the guidance of Ding Danian, and gradually revealed his extraordinary talent.
On this day, Ding Danian took the child to the town to take the imperial examination. After the exam, the two returned home and waited for the news of the release of the rankings. A few days later, the good news came that the child had become the top student in high school and had become the pride of the whole town.
When Ding Danian heard the news, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He took the child's hand and said excitedly, "Son, you have indeed lived up to my heart for you. Now that you are the top student in high school, you will surely be able to shine on the lintel and bring glory to your family in the future. ”
The child was also so excited that he couldn't speak, but just hugged Ding Danian tightly, his eyes full of gratitude and respect. He knows that the reason why he can achieve today's achievements is all due to Ding Danian's careful teaching and selfless dedication.
Since then, Ding Danian and the child have lived a happy and peaceful life. They read books together, drank tea together, and talked about world events together. And Ding Danian's good deeds have also spread throughout the water town and become a good story in people's mouths.
However, the story doesn't end here. Although Ding Danian's life has calmed down, there is always a mystery in his heart that remains unsolved. That was Pan Lian'er, the woman who had turned to him for help and entrusted her son to him, who had not been seen since that meeting. Ding Danian has sent people to look for her many times, but there is still no whereabouts.
This mystery haunted Ding Danian until a chance encounter many years later, when he finally revealed the secret. It turned out that after entrusting her son to Ding Da, Pan Lian'er left the water town alone and went to a distant place. She lived incognito and lived a hard life there, just so that her past would not affect her son's future.
When Ding Danian learned all this, he couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart. He was not only moved by Pan Lian'er's sacrifice and maternal love, but also regretted her departure. He understood that the reason why Pan Lian'er did this was all for her son's happiness and future.
The moment Pan Lian'er was taken back to the water town, Ding Danian's courtyard was filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence. The child, who is now a personable champion, saw his biological mother, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but more of a deep longing and respect. He knelt in front of Pan Lian'er, and said in a choked voice: "Mother, my son is not filial, and I have made you suffer." ”
Pan Lian'er picked up her son and stroked his face, tears rolling down her wrinkled cheeks. She smiled and shook her head, "Kid, you're doing a great job." Seeing your achievements today, my mother has only relief and pride in her heart. ”
Ding Danian stood aside, witnessing this touching scene, and his heart was also full of warmth. He knew that his decision back then was correct, and he not only changed the child's fate, but also gave Pan Lian'er a happy ending.
Since then, Pan Lian'er has lived a comfortable life under the care of Ding Danian. She often had long talks with her son, sharing the details of the past, and teaching him how to behave in the world and how to maintain a kind heart. And the child is becoming more and more mature and steady, not only filial piety to his parents, but also actively engaged in social welfare undertakings for the benefit of the township.
Ding Danian's reputation also became louder and louder with his son's achievements. His good deeds and talents have been recognized and respected by many more. Many young students came to visit him and ask for advice and how to behave in the world. Ding Danian always patiently answered their doubts and passed on his experience and wisdom to them.
As the years passed, Ding Danian and Pan Lian'er were getting old. However, their hearts are eternally young, full of love for life and anticipation for the future. They often recall the past days, and those hardships and ups and downs, laughter and tears have become the most precious treasures in their lives.
And that child always remembers the kindness and teachings of his parents. He interprets filial piety and responsibility with his actions, and has become a model and example for the entire water town and even further places.
On a sunny spring day, Ding Danian and Pan Lian'er sat on a rattan chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun and chatting. There were happy smiles on their faces and a glint of satisfaction in their eyes. They know that although their lives are ordinary, they have become extraordinary because of their kindness and perseverance.
Time flies, Ding Danian and Pan Lian'er enjoy their old age in a quiet water town. Whenever they mentioned all the things of the year, the two of them were full of emotion, but they were also full of joy. And Ding Danian's adopted son, the former child, is now a famous champion all over the world, and his filial piety and talent have become a good story in the mouths of the people of the water town.
Although he is in a high position, he has never forgotten his roots. He not only fulfilled his duties in the court and worked for the welfare of the people, but also often returned to the water town to talk with the villagers and care about local affairs. His arrival always brings a burst of joy and excitement to this peaceful town.
On this day, Zhuang Yuanlang returned to the water town again. He brought the emperor's reward and also brought a deep longing for his hometown. When Ding Danian and Pan Lian'er saw him, their eyes flashed with relief and pride. A family of three sat around the table, sipping fragrant tea, chatting about family life, and enjoying a rare reunion time.
During the banquet, Zhuang Yuanlang mentioned a wish. He hopes to establish a academy in the water town, so that more children can have books to read and study. He understands the importance of knowledge and the power of education to change one's destiny. After hearing this, Ding Danian and Pan Lian'er both expressed their full support.
As a result, with the initiative and funding of Zhuang Yuanlang, the first academy in Shuixiang came into being. The college not only admits local children, but also attracts students from the surrounding area. Champion Yuanlang personally served as the dean, imparting knowledge and teaching the way of life. His words and deeds have benefited the students a lot, and also made the education of the water town flourish.
The establishment of the academy not only changed the face of the water town, but also made the reputation of Ding Danian and Pan Lian'er more far-reaching. Their good deeds and the talents of the champions have become a good story for people to praise, inspiring more people to do good deeds and accumulate virtues and pursue higher realms.
Time flies, and Ding Danian and Pan Lian'er passed away one after another in peace and happiness. Their departure makes the people of the water town feel sorry, but they also cherish the good memories they left behind. And Zhuang Yuanlang has always remembered the kindness and teachings of his parents, and he uses his actions and achievements to interpret the true meaning of filial piety and responsibility.
In the inscription of the academy, Zhuang Yuanlang engraved this sentence: "The reason why I am today is because of the kindness of my parents and the teaching of my teachers and friends." I hope that what I have learned will be able to be used by future generations and live up to the expectations of my parents and teachers. This sentence is not only a summary of his achievements, but also an expression of deep gratitude to his parents and teachers.
Today, the academy in the water town is still standing, and it has witnessed the growth and struggle of generations of students. The stories of Ding Danian and Pan Lian'er have also been passed down from generation to generation in the academy, inspiring later students to pursue their dreams and create their own brilliant lives.
