In the remote Jiangnan water town, there is a quiet village called Yangliu Village. The four seasons are distinct here, the scenery is picturesque, and the villagers have lived a simple and peaceful life by farming for generations. There is a young man named Chen Ming in the village, who is smart and clever, and he often claims to be the "farming expert" in the village because he has studied for several years and knows some basic knowledge of crops.
Chen Ming always likes to show off his knowledge in front of everyone, and the villagers sometimes ask him some questions about farming, and he can always talk about a lot of seemingly profound truths, which makes people feel very professional. However, these truths are often divorced from reality, leaving villagers confused in practice.
One day, a real agricultural expert came to the village, named Professor Li. Professor Li is a professor at Chengli Agricultural University, specializing in crop cultivation techniques. He came to Yangliu Village to promote a new planting method that could significantly improve the yield and quality of crops.
Professor Li held a lecture in the village to explain in detail the principles and operational points of this new planting method. The villagers listened with relish and said they wanted to give this method a try. However, Chen Ming disagreed, believing that he had already understood enough and did not need to learn any new methods.
After the lecture, Professor Li invited the villagers to the field to demonstrate the practical operation of this new planting method. Chen Ming also went, but with a dismissive attitude. He thought to himself, "I've known this method for a long time, and I still need you to teach it?" ”
In the field, Professor Li patiently instructed the villagers on how to operate. He told everyone that the key to this new planting method is rational fertilization, scientific irrigation and pest control. He also stressed the need to develop specific planting plans according to the growth characteristics of different crops and soil conditions.
Chen Ming listened from the sidelines, but he didn't think so. He felt that these methods were all clichés and nothing new. So, he began to express his opinion wisely: "I think this method is too cumbersome, and it is not as simple and practical as our previous method. ”
Professor Li listened to Chen Ming's words, and did not get angry, but patiently explained: "Chen Ming, what you said also makes sense. However, we cannot always rest on the experience of the past, and we must continue to learn new knowledge and techniques in order to improve yield and quality. ”
Chen Ming didn't care, he felt that he was smart enough that he didn't need to learn anything new. So, he decided to continue farming in his own way.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was harvest season. The crops planted by Professor Li and the villagers using the new planting method are growing well, and the yield and quality have been greatly improved. However, the crops planted by Chen Ming did not grow well and the yield was low.
Seeing such a result, Chen Ming was very frustrated. He began to reflect on his actions and realized that he had been too self-conscious. He understood a truth: you can't be too self-righteous, you must always maintain a humble and studious attitude, and keep learning new knowledge and technology in order to make continuous progress.
Therefore, Chen Ming decided to learn from Professor Li and humbly ask for knowledge and techniques about farming. Under the guidance of Professor Li, he gradually mastered the essentials of new planting methods and practiced them in his own field. Soon, his crops began to grow well, and both yield and quality improved.
Since then, Chen Ming is no longer a self-proclaimed "farming expert", but has become a farmer who really knows how to farm. He proved the truth of "don't be too smart to be a man" with his practical actions, and also won the respect and recognition of the villagers.
The villagers of Yangliu Village also got inspiration from Chen Ming's experience: in the process of farming, we should not only rely on our own experience and knowledge, but also continue to learn new techniques and methods to continuously improve our planting level. Only in this way can we remain invincible in this era of competition and challenges.
This story has spread in Yangliu Village and has become a great story that inspires people to keep learning and improving. And Chen Ming also used his own experience to tell people: don't be too smart, and always maintain a humble and studious attitude in order to continue to progress and grow.
