Chapter 59 Chapter 58

This is the first time Shi Yan has heard that a gentleman can be divided into a narrow sense and a broad sense.When she heard the word "gentleman" before, she immediately thought of "thief", because in her impression, the word "gentleman" was always related to "thief".She lost her key, and when she asked someone to help break the lock, the man broke the lock open at once, and said: "This is not a tumbler lock. It is useless. It can only lock gentlemen, not thieves." Later, I heard that What is "the gentleman on the beam", so she connected the gentleman with the thief.

Now when she heard Zhuo Liang talk about a gentleman, she couldn't help but think of a thief, and it took her a long time to pull her thoughts back, and she said, "Didn't you say 'righteous people first correct themselves'? If your own morals are not righteous, how can you—righteous others?" "Righteering people first is the point of view of the common people. The common people have no power in their hands, so they hope to use the power of morality to restrain those who have power. Have you never heard that 'morality is the weapon of the weak'? The weak cannot defeat the strong." If you are too powerful, you can turn to morality, and the strong don’t care about morality or immorality. If you have no power, who else can you correct except yourself? How much power you have, you can correct as many people. Like my mother, she She is very upright, but what's the use? At most, she can only upright the people below her, and she can't be upright with those who are higher than her. And because she is too upright, she can't climb up in this era when righteousness does not suppress evil. So there will never be a chance to correct many people. All in all, if you want to correct the atmosphere in which area, you must first have the power to issue orders in that area. If you don't even have that power, who are you correcting?"

This seems to make some sense, she took it for granted, "Then - just ask the chairman of the country to come out and correct the atmosphere, wouldn't it be enough?" "The question is whether the president of the country is willing to come forward? Among other things, if you are the president of the country now, would you take the initiative to ask to teach in the middle school below?" She was promoted to the position of President of the country at once, and she couldn't turn the corner for a long time. Suddenly, she remembered what her mother-in-law said, saying that she would be kicked out of the teacher's academy, so she was no longer the president of the country, and she just asked worriedly: "You said your mother?" Will she—really ask the Teacher Academy to drive me away?”

"No, tiger poison doesn't even eat children, why would she ask the teacher academy to drive you away?" "Then how did she—say that? It scared the hell out of me—" "She said that just to show her attitude. If she sees such unhealthy tendencies and does not criticize, she will feel very uncomfortable, because it is in conflict with her way of life. But when it comes to driving her daughter-in-law out of the teacher She'll be a mother when she's in the hospital. Don't worry, she won't—" She asked happily: "Did you tell her about us? Does she know that I am her—daughter-in-law?"

"She asked me to go to the study, just to ask about this matter, I told her, so that she wouldn't get confused, and really went to the teacher's academy to sue—" She knew that he must have been trained a lot, but now she can't care about him, and only thinks about the next generation of the revolution: "Then you told her about me--the pregnancy? What did she say?" "Of course she took politics class first, but I could see that she was very happy. She said that when her grandson was born, she would retire and take care of the children at home, because she had to learn a lesson this time, and she would never Don't relax the education of her grandson, lest her grandson, like me, learn badly from others outside, and can't even correct her—"

After hearing this, she was very happy, and felt that her mother-in-law was not a elm-headed one, but also understood the nature of affection and motherhood.But she immediately thought of such a picture, a little man, with his hands behind his back, walking behind her mother-in-law very seriously.After walking for a while, the old and the young stopped to talk, with one hand behind their back and the other finger pointing.For some reason, when she thought of the word "cadre", she had such an image in her mind that her hands must be behind her back, at least one hand must be carried like this, otherwise she would not be a cadre.

She thought that her child would have to be taught by her grandma when she was born, and felt very distressed. She suggested: "Let's not give the baby to you—give it to grandma. Didn't you say that she never cares about housework?" "She didn't care about it before, it was because she was so focused on her work, but didn't she say it? When the child is born, she will retire—" She hastily declined: "How bad would it be to make her retire for the sake of a child?" Or he woke up suddenly: "What are you worrying about now? We are in a hurry before the baby is born. As for?"

She didn't say any more, but she murmured in her heart: My child won't be taken to politics class, we can't educate ourselves?The child's father is still engaged in higher education, not as knowledgeable as you in primary and secondary education?But she felt that it wouldn't be good if the child was like Zhuo Liang, because Zhuo Liang seemed to be a little restless, always thinking about a big career, and didn't know what he was doing, which made her very nervous.She asked in a roundabout way: "Then—if you have the power, are you—a righteous person and yourself, or only a righteous person but not yourself?"

He shook his head with disdain: "Politics are not that simple. It's not as red or black as you imagined. Forget it, you women don't understand politics, so don't talk about it—" She thought, this is strange, you can't justify yourself, you say that women don't understand politics, since women don't understand politics, then why are you talking about gentlemen in the broad sense and narrow sense?I think you don't understand as much as I do, otherwise why can't you answer?But she didn't want to get angry with him because of this, so she pretended not to hear what he said about "women", and only asked: "Then what area do you want to be correct—the atmosphere?"

"Of course I just want to correct the atmosphere in China. I can't say that my country has not done well, so I went to ask other countries about it?" She was taken aback. She thought his ambition was to be in a teacher college or city D. Even so, she felt that he was a bit dreamy, and now he was going to the whole country. It seemed that it was only a matter of succession. , this—seems to be too—that, right? She said worriedly: "Don't talk nonsense like this outside, people should say you are—arrogant—" "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid. I haven't done anything yet. How could I be outside? I'm afraid that others won't come and catch me?"

The word "catch" really scared her out. He didn't seem to be talking to her for fun, but what he was really doing. He even thought of the possibility of being caught, and even Aunt Jiang made a good wish Yes, he said that he would take Aunt Jiang to enjoy the blessings, which shows that he is indeed very ambitious. It’s okay for a man to be politically ambitious—if it’s just a "heart", it means thinking about it and bragging about it. Men have this common problem. If they don’t brag about national affairs, they are afraid that others will look down on them. .But among the men she met who liked to talk about national affairs, none of them really worked in the "country". At most, they were small cadres in the unit. The affairs of the world, in the end, none of the three things can be achieved, maybe even my own marriage will fall through. But Zhuoyou is a little different. He doesn't just brag about it. He seems to have a theory, a plan, and a group of accomplices.She felt that if Zhuo Liang was really doing something dangerous, he should have done it during his trips to City E, because when he was at home, he could only read and write, and he hadn't even practiced kung fu, let alone dangerous activities. . She felt that dangerous activities would definitely involve guns and guns. If there were no guns, how could they do dangerous activities?She remembers learning about Guangzhou "Qiyi" when she was a child. They are all for real people who make soil bombs at home.It seems that there was a "Qiyi" that failed because the enemy discovered that a certain revolutionary was building a bomb at home, and strangled "Qiyi" in its infancy.She didn't understand two things at the time, but she didn't have the nerve to ask the teacher: First, why did you put "Qi Yi" in the cradle?Second, why don't they make silent bombs? Zhuoyou has never made a bomb, and he doesn't even know how to light a gas stove. He is buried in the pile of books all day long. Could it be that there is a bomb hidden under his books?No wonder she was not allowed to see it. While he was not at home, she searched through the piles of books, making marks as she turned them so that they could be recovered later.She was sweating all over, she didn't know whether it was from being tired or frightened.But she didn't think there was anything wrong with looking through his books like this. It seemed that the husband and wife belonged to the KMT and the Communist Party respectively, and they were both intelligence agents who had penetrated into each other's interior. She flipped through it for a while, but found nothing. She glanced at the titles of several books, all of which were about higher education. She found it very strange, what method did he want to use to riot?Is it to let college teachers go to encourage students to "hold holes"?This is the way to save the country by doing "education to save the country" for a long time?She hurriedly found a magazine, and read a few lines from his underlined lines, but it was still the same as last time. It's long, but it looks like I didn't say anything. I don't know how such a sentence can motivate students?At most, it puts the students to sleep. She decided to go to City E with him to have a look, otherwise she would not be at ease, now it is not as good as before. In the past, he was single, one person fed enough, the whole family was not hungry, and one person "squeezed S", the whole family went to heaven.But now that he is going to be a father, if something happens to him, what will the two of them do? She prepared a big reason, wishing she could pull her tongue three and a half inches long to persuade him to take her there, but he agreed immediately, and said: "I've already sung it, I'm afraid you won't go, then I will Disgraceful—" She was puzzled: "What did you sing?" He explained that some celebrity was coming this weekend, and he had already told the host of the meeting that he would take his wife there, but he was worried that she would not go because she was pregnant. Shi Yan felt that when Zhuo Zhuo said the celebrity's name, his expression was very respectful, and he seemed to think that she knew the ins and outs of this person and respected him as much as he did.But she had never heard of this name at all, and she didn't know who it was.She was afraid that he would think she was ignorant, so she had no choice but to pretend to be thunderous, with a "Really? He's coming too?" expression on her face. Joyo must have been fooled, thinking that she really knew this celebrity and really admired him as much as he did.He said in the tone of a bosom friend to a bosom friend: "You should go to these occasions to practice and cultivate the demeanor of the leader's wife. In the future, when I go abroad, I will take my wife with me when I attend banquets and so on—" She doesn't care about the demeanor of a leader's wife, but only worries about her child: "I don't know if taking a car will affect--the child?" "Probably not—a car is better than a motorcycle, right? You're fine on a motorcycle—" "Let's take the train, it's smoother—" In the end they decided to take the car, because the train was too slow, and the arrival time was not very good, either in the middle of the night or at noon, it was not convenient.The car is much faster, and there are several trips to E city in the morning, noon and evening.
