Seeing Gao Yituo coming, Brother Zhao began to pat powder on his face, reapply lipstick, and pretended not to care.At home, she was used to seeing her parents pretending to be like this every time they lost face.With such a play, her heart calmed down.She felt that since she had already taken the risk, she could do whatever she wanted in the future, and she didn't need to worry or think about anything.She greeted Yi Tuo naturally, as if telling him: "It doesn't matter if you know it or not, I don't care about anything anyway!" Gao Yituo's eyes are just enough to judge this kind of thing, and he can see the bottom line of the matter at a glance.He began to praise Zhaodi's beauty and bravery.He didn't mention the positive side of the matter at all, but only chatted sincerely. In the gossip, he taught Zhaodi that he was her friend, and he would try his best to help her, if she needed help.He loves to talk, but he pays attention not to let his words get out of the way.

After listening to Yituo's gossip for a long time, Zhaodi became happier and started talking and laughing, as if she would live with Kongshan forever and there was nothing she could do.True, she hadn't figured out where her second step should be, but she showed that her first step was right.No matter what Li Kongshan is, she is already possessed by him today, so if she wants to sever ties with him immediately, wouldn't she be a little too timid and ruthless?Well, whatever, she has to deal with everything calmly.If things really don't go well, she still has a last resort, she has to be a bachelor like her mother.She took a look at herself in the small mirror again, her face, eyes, nose, and mouth were so beautiful, she felt that she would never encounter any disaster or misfortune just because of this beauty.

Seeing that it was enough time to chat with Zhaodi, Yituo gave Li Kongshan a look and led Li Kongshan to another room.As soon as he entered the door, he made three big bows to congratulate Kong Shan. Kong Shan didn't think there was anything gratifying, because women are all women, and they are all similar; he didn't find anything special about Zhaodi.All he said was, "It's a lot of trouble!" "Trouble? What?" Gao Yituo asked sincerely. "She's not messing around, she's a bit troublesome!" Kong Shan threw himself on a big chair, visibly tired and bored, as if he needed some comfort. "Section chief!" Gao Yituo's thin face showed a serious look: "Don't you really want to marry a modern wife? That's right! With your status as section chief, you hold the power of life and death, yes There should be a formal wife! As for recruiting a younger brother, she is so beautiful and young. No matter how many people have spent a lot of effort, they can't get it. Now that the fat pig arch is in your hands, you shouldn't invite friends. Let's go back to the wedding wine happily?"

Yituo's words elicited quite a few smiles from Kong Shan, but he kept on saying, "Trouble! Trouble!" He almost didn't know what "trouble" was referring to, and he just said it went smoothly. Mouth, can't change the words.At the same time, repeating these two words all the time also showed that he was very determined, like a soldier, although he didn't know why he was determined. Seeing the section chief smiling, Yituo hurried over, put his mouth on Kong Shan's ear, and asked, "Is she a real virgin?" Kongshan's big body twisted like a giant snake, and hit Yituo's rib with his elbow: "You! You!" Then, he smiled with his mouth pursed, and said again: "You!" Based on this trick, section chief, is it worth the treat?" Gao Yituo rolled up his cuffs again, soot ash fell from his face with a smile.

"Trouble!" No new words appeared in Li Kongshan's mind. "No trouble!" Yi Tuo suddenly became serious. "It's not troublesome at all! You tell the Guan family that no matter how domineering Da Chi Bao is, she won't dare to mess with you!" "Of course!" Kong Shan nodded lazily, yet quite proudly. "Then, the two of you will post a post to treat guests, and leave everything to Xiaohe, and we will enjoy the benefits. Fortunately, Xiaohe loves to do this kind of thing, and will do it. Let's ask Guan's family for compensation first. I Let me tell you, section chief, the big red bag was promoted by you, and she has already earned a lot of money, and it is time to teach her to spit out a little bit! Negotiate the dowry, and when the auspicious period comes, I will take care of the account. , I will hand over all the wedding banners to the Guan family, and bring you all the cash. If the big red bag dares to say that it will be divided equally, let's show her the pistol and show her. I think this is quite a considerable sum Income, and section chief, you should do this once. Please forgive my outspokenness. If others have been the section chief for so many days, they would not know how many autumn winds they have had. Section chief, you are too honest, I'm always a little embarrassed. You have suffered a lot. This time, you are absolutely married to a wife, so why don't you give everyone a chance to teach everyone to respect you?"

After hearing these good words, Li Kongshan felt itchy for a while, but he still only said: "Trouble! Trouble!" "It's not troublesome at all!" Yi Tuo's words became more and more powerful, but his voice became lower and lower.The voice is low and powerful, just enough to indicate intimacy, and a little magic. "You leave everything to me, and let me be the big matchmaker first. There is only one big red bag here who is not aggressive, but let's just talk about it, what she can do, I, if not talented, can do it too. She If you dare to make trouble, you just kill her director. We are just chatting, for example, if you are willing to praise me, section chief, I will definitely not share with you. No matter how much I give, I must not be as ungrateful as the big red bag! This is all idle talk, section chief, don’t think that I want to give the big red bag; she is my boss, and I can’t be ungrateful to her! Say back, you leave the matter to me, and I will definitely do it to your satisfaction!"

"Trouble!" Li Kongshan liked Yituo's words very much, but in order to show that he was thoughtful, it was inconvenient to completely agree with other people's strategy immediately - the reason why a fool is a fool is because he thinks he is very thoughtful. "What's the trouble? My grandfather alone!" Gao Yituo said half anxiously and half smiling. "With a home," Li Kongshan gave a very serious reason, "I will not be free!" Gao Yituo laughed in a low voice for a while. "My section chief, can we be tied down at home? I don't know anything else, I've been to Japan."

Kong Shan interrupted: "Have you ever been to Japan?" "I've been there for a few days!" Yituo said humbly and proudly: "I know the Japanese method. Japanese men bring wild women to their homes for the night, and his wife has to make the bed and make the quilts. This method is right. She," Yituo pointed his nose to the room next to him, "she is a modern lady, maybe she is jealous; but you only need to teach her twice, and she will be obedient. Hit her, pinch her, bite her , are good lessons. After the lesson is over, buy her a piece of clothing or something, and she will burst into tears! In this way, she will not hinder your freedom, and you can have a good time when you have a big banquet or entertain the Japanese. How nice it is to have a beautiful lady present! No trouble! No trouble at all! Besides, to put it bluntly, when you really get tired of her, you can give her to your Japanese friends! Tell you, Chief, there is The Japanese occupy Beiping, we really have all the conveniences!"

Kong Shan smiled.He agrees with Yi Tuo's last solution - to give Zhaodi to the Japanese, if she is too disobedient. "That's it, section chief!" Yi Tuo walked out with small, broken steps.Through the window, he told Zhaodi: "Second Miss, I'll send a message to the house, and say that you won't go back today!" Before Zhaodi could speak, he had already walked out. He hired a car to return to Guan's house.All the way, he has been smiling.He recalled what happened in the apartment just now, as if imagining a play like "Jiang Gan Steals Books".The most proud thing is that Li Kongshan has noticed that he has been to Japan and his knowledge of how the Japanese treat women.He feels that his knowledge has worked, and there is no doubt that he will thrive with that knowledge—he will go directly to serve the Japanese, and take the big red bag to Li Kongshan—even Li Kongshan— —Kick it all away!He feels that Peiping is no longer a flower and tree with "original roots", but has been grafted with Japanese seeds.At the time of this transformation, he himself is more sure than anyone else in getting the style first, the first to become the most Japanese, and the most money and influence.In the past, he sold herbal medicine in Tianqiaoer; in the future, he must sell herbal medicine in front of the Japanese and become the greatest herbal medicine dealer.His herbs will be his tongue, his wit, and his wins.He will be Su Qin and Zhang Yi today, the biggest fish he has caught in the muddy water.

It wasn't until he entered the gate of Guan's house that he stopped smiling and put on a serious face.The courtyard is very quiet.Tongfang and Gaodi have already closed the door to go to bed, only the north room is still lit. Da Chibao is still sitting in the living room, the powder on his face has faded, revealing dark yellow wrinkles and large black freckles, and some glossy oil on his nose.Xiaohe walked back and forth in the room, he had already endured enough scolding, and there was a smile on his face that the storm would pass and there would be sunny days.His eyes are often covered with big red bags, so that he can put away his smile at any time and show a little melancholy.On weekdays, he is very afraid of big red envelopes.Today, seeing that she was really angry, he was a little happy; no matter how much she scolded him, anyway, she met an opponent like Li Kongshan, which is very happy.He didn't think about recruiting his younger brother, but only thought that if his younger brother really married Li Kongshan, he would get a chance to display his abilities.He will choose the dowry for her very meticulously and patiently, which should be both economical and beautiful.How many wedding tables will he order, how can he save one yuan by slightly adjusting the dishes, and teach ordinary guests not to see the mystery.After thinking about all this, he thought of himself: on the auspicious day, what kind of clothes would he wear, so that he could look like an old man and look "old and handsome" at the same time.How he would look a little tired and still be extremely attentive to his guests.He will drink 50% of the wine so that his face will be flushed and he will not talk incoherently.He will perform a perfect old Taishan in front of everyone!

If the madness of the Japanese is to hold your head high, then the madness of Guan Xiaohe and the people in Peiping like him is indulged in smoking, drinking, mandarin jackets and mille-soled satin shoes.The madness of the Japanese is that they always try their own strength, while Guan Xiaohe's is that they always want to show their boredom.These two kinds of madness—anyone who only knows himself and only cares about himself, but does not open his eyes to see the world can be called madness—when they meet one place, one can beat people desperately, and the other is shameless and low-spirited. He looked at his satin shoes.Ordinarily, Xiaohe should be more concerned about recruiting his younger brother, she is his own daughter.In the heart of a Chinese, a father cannot just throw his daughter out like a straw.However, Xiaohe's madness made him feel very peaceful.To his daughter, just like to the place of his birth in Beiping, he is not at all tempted by others ruining him.He was indeed a worm in the culture of Peking, but he did not penetrate into the depths of the culture. His culture was only as thin as a piece of paper.He can only pay attention to men and women who drink and eat, can only distinguish the way of eating Xiangpian and Longjing, and laugh at right and wrong, good and evil, a soft and crazy smile. Seeing Gao Yituo coming in, Xiaohe made a very calm and earnest look, and asked "How is it?" Yituo ignored Xiaohe and looked at the big red bag.She raised her eyelids.Yituo knew that the female bachelor was really in a hurry, so he deliberately wanted to "handle" her; Yituo was also a soft-hearted lunatic.He pretended to be tired on purpose, and said weakly: "I have to take a sip first!" He went straight into the inner room. The big red bag chased him in.Xiaohe was still walking slowly in the living room.He doesn't bother to chase after Yituo, he has his identity! After Yituo took a long puff of cigarette, Da Chibao asked: "How? Find them, ah, her, no?" While picking up the cigarette slowly, Yituo said in a soft voice: "I found it. The second lady said that I won't be back today." Da Chibao felt how many hands were hitting her mouth!It is true that a daughter will marry sooner or later, but her daughter must marry according to her heart.She couldn't stand Zhaodi being snatched away by Li Kongshan for no apparent reason.She couldn't think of any mistakes in raising her daughter, and Zhaodi dared to act so boldly, she couldn't help but feel sad.However, Zhaodi is just a young girl, so it is forgivable.Li Kongshan is the culprit, there is nothing to forgive; if there is no temptation from Li Kongshan, Zhaodi would not be so bold.She blamed Li Kongshan for all her faults, and gritted her teeth.Hmph, Li Kongshan deliberately challenged her, if she bowed her head, she would no longer have to pretend to be a bachelor in Beiping.This point is more important than the mistake of recruiting my younger brother.She knew that even if Zhaodi was rescued now, Zhaodi would never be able to return to "completeness".However, she had to go to the rescue, not for the reputation and future of recruiting her younger brother, but for fighting against Li Kongshan.From now on, she and Li Kongshan are irreconcilable! "Xiao He!" She roared thunderously. "Call a car!" The thunder shook Yi Tuo up. "What are you doing?" With one hand on his waist and the other pointing at the cigarette lamp, Da Chibao gritted his teeth and said, "I'll fight that kid surnamed Li! I'll find him!" Yi Tuo stood up. "Boss! It's the second lady who is willing!" "You nonsense! My child, I understand!" A layer of hoarfrost hung on Da Chibao's face; his hand was still pointing at the lamp, trembling. "Xiaohe! Call a car!" Xiaohe poked his probe into the door. Da Chibao withdrew his hand pointing at the lantern, and faced Xiaohe, "You loose-headed bastard! Daughter, daughter, they've been taken over by others, and you still shy away! You're a human being!" No? Is it a person? Say it!" "Don't worry about what I am," Xiaohe said calmly, "We should first discuss how to solve this matter. What's the use of losing your temper?" In his heart, he was quite satisfied with recruiting a younger brother. So he was willing to settle the matter quickly.He thought that if he had a son-in-law like Li Kongshan, he would be able to get some work with the qualifications of Lao Taishan.He, Dongyang, Ruifeng, and Meng brothers paid homage to each other, but they didn't get any benefits.The relationship between Meng brothers is not as close as that between father-in-law and son-in-law. He only needs to open his mouth, and Li Kongshan has to give him his heart.As for the embarrassment of recruiting a younger brother, you only need to handle the happy event decently to cover it up, just like the five-color flag hoisted after the fall of Peking, so that people don't feel too embarrassing.Power and ostentation are the most shameful. Da Chibao was taken aback. Gao Yituo hurriedly interrupted, lest Jiao Xiaohe be comforted by herself and take credit for her. "Director! Don't be so angry. Your body is important. If you really want to get angry and get sick, that's okay!" He moved a chair for the director and helped her sit down. Da Chibao snorted twice, feeling that he really shouldn't be angry; it would be everyone's loss if he became ill with anger. Yituo went on to say: "I have a small opinion, and I will express it for the director's reference. First, this year is a year of freedom, and Miss Zhaodi did not have any major faults. Second, based on Director, your honor status, no one dares to talk nonsense even if Miss Zhaodi is a bit dishonest, you just have to rest assured. Third, although Li Kongshan is sorry for the director in this matter, he is a member of the special high-tech department after all. The elder, who holds the power of life and death. Then, this marriage is in fact well-matched, and the power and status of both parties are enough to teach everyone to talk about it. Fourth, let me boldly say something stupid, our Beiping is no longer what it used to be. Now that Peiping is gone, we don’t need to worry about the rules and principles of the past. For example, when Beiping was in our hands, I didn’t dare to take a few puffs of cigarettes in public. Today, I will smoke without hesitation. Not only is he not afraid of the patrol police and military police, but he is also liked by the Japanese. Small compared to big, the difficulty of recruiting younger brothers and sisters is not difficult to solve, or on the contrary, it is because of such a little difficulty that he will be more in the limelight in the future. Director, please think about my words, right?" Da Chibao's face was sullen, his eyes were on the embroidery on the shoes, and he didn't hum.She knew Gao Yituo's words were right, but she couldn't completely eliminate the evil spirit in her heart.She was a little afraid of Li Kongshan, because she was afraid of him, so she felt sad.If she really went to him to quarrel, she might not be able to beat him.On the contrary, if he just gave his daughter to him, how could he know that he would not become more arrogant and domineering in the future.She can't do it. Xiaohe, when Yituo expressed his opinions, he stood at the door and listened all the time. Now he said something: "I see, the director, just give him the recruiting brother!" "Stop talking!" Da Chi Bao was afraid of Li Kongshan, but he could completely control Xiaohe. "Director!" Yi Tuo rinsed his mouth with herbal tea, spat into the spittoon, and then called out, "Director, Mao Sui recommends himself, and I'll be a great matchmaker! The sooner things are done, the better, long sleep and more dreams!" Da Chibao took a deep breath, and gently rubbed her chest with her hands, her heart was filled with panic. Yi Tuo quickly took another puff of cigarette, and said goodbye to the director: "Let's discuss it in detail tomorrow! Just don't get angry, director!" The next day, Da Chi wrapped up very late.She has woken up since dawn, unable to close her eyes after thinking about it.She didn't want to get up, she just hoped that Zhaodi would come back before she got up, so that she could reduce the embarrassment by acting as if she didn't know when Zhaodi would come back.However, until it was almost noon, Zhaodi hadn't come back yet.Da Chibao became angry again.She didn't dare to attack.Yesterday, she had already scolded Xiaohe a lot, but if she took it out on him again today, it would seem a bit too monotonous.Today, she should choose one of Gaodi and Tongfang as a "scratch".However, she can't scold Gaodi, she has always favored recruiting younger brothers, and regarded Gaodi as a loser, now, it is her heart, not Gaodi, who is embarrassing her.She couldn't provoke Gaudy any more, and made Gaudy go to mischief.She had no choice but to scold Tong Fang.However, Tong Fang couldn't scold her either.She could imagine that if she dared to challenge, Tong Fang would definitely stand on the big locust tree outside the door and broadcast the scandal of recruiting younger brothers to the whole alley.Her anger can only be held in her heart.She flattered Li Kongshan and got the position of director and the money and influence she had hoped for, but today she was tortured, and she dared not vent her anger or swear if she had words!She didn't regret it at all, and she never wanted to blame herself, but she felt like there was something wrong in her heart that she couldn't get out of.It was almost noon, and she couldn't stop getting up.If she was still lying on the bed, she thought it would definitely attract Tong Fang's attention first, and Tong Fang would be very happy to curse her for dying on the bed without saying a word.She had to get up, she had to act nonchalantly, and fight for face with shamelessness. When she got up, she didn't bother to wash up, so she went to Tongfang's cabin to take a look.Tong Fang was not in the house. Gaudí, who had not yet powdered his face, came out of the house and called out "Mom!" The big red bag glanced at his daughter.Gaudi, because there is no powder on his face and no lipstick on his lips, he looks uglier than before.She immediately thought: It would be nice to recruit a younger brother, but it was lost in vain.Thinking of this, she thought Gaudí was deliberately mocking her!She didn't dare lose her temper yet.She asked: "Where is she?" "Who? Tong Fang? She and her father went out early in the morning, maybe to see how to recruit younger brothers? I heard my father say: to see the new relatives!" The big red bag lowered its head, clenched his hands tightly into fists, and remained silent for a long time. Gao Di took two steps forward, a little scared, but bravely said: "Mom! You taught me to deal with Li Kongshan earlier, do you think he is a good person?" Da Chibao raised his head, and asked calmly: "So what?" Gao Di was afraid that his mother would get angry, so he quickly smirked. "Mom! Ever since the Japanese entered Peiping, I think you and Dad's intentions and methods are wrong! Look, who in the whole alley thinks highly of us? Who doesn't say that we eat Japanese food? As far as I can see, Li Kongshan is not Not very strong, he is relying on the power of others, and he dared to bully us by taking advantage of the power of the Japanese. We suffered a loss because we wanted to gain some benefits from the Japanese. Those who seek friendship with the tiger will feed the tiger sooner or later!" Da Chibao sneered.The voice was not high, but he said very vigorously: "Ouch! You want to teach me a lesson, don't you? Wait a minute! My heart is worthy of God! My troubles are all because of you useless foodies! Teach me? How strange! Without me, you can't even eat shit!" Gaudi's short nose was sweating, and his hands were intertwined and twisted back and forth. "Mom, look at Qi Ruixuan, he also supports a large family, but he doesn't at all..." She licked her thick lips, not daring to say bad words, for fear that her mother would be even more angry. "Look at Li Siye, Sun Qi, and Xiao Cui, haven't they starved to death yet? Why should we be so anxious and have to flatter...?" Da Chibao laughed again: "Come on, don't make me angry, okay? Okay! What do you know?" At this season, Xiaohe, with a smile on his face, ran in with small steps.Like a bee sniffing a flower, he ran straight to the big red bag.Two steps away from her, he stood still, first radiated his smile and hospitality into her eyes, and then said sweetly: "Boss! The second girl is back!" As soon as Xiaohe finished speaking, he recruited his younger brother lightly, as if he didn't know what expression to put on his face, and without any obvious shame or fear, he walked in.Her most beautiful eyes looked from Gaudy to her mother, and then to the ridge of the house.Her eyes are bright, but not completely calm, with some floating lights that can change at any time.Swallowing a little bit of saliva briskly, she was brave, smiled, and called out "Mom!" Da Chibao didn't make a sound. Tong Fang also came in, only took a first look at Gao, and then went to her hut. "Sister!" Brother Zhao pretended to be lively and grabbed Gaodi's hand, then giggled, even she didn't know what she was laughing at. Xiaohe looked at her daughter and wife, her face was full of kindness and happiness, and said in a low voice: "Everything is not a problem! There is a solution! There is a solution!" "Where's that bastard?" Da Chibao asked Xiaohe. "Animal?" Xiaohe thought for a while before he understood: "Everything is not a problem! Director, go wash your face first!" Brother Zhao let go of his sister's hand, raised his face, and ran into his room with three steps in two. Before the big red bag was old enough to reach the door of the house, Gao Yituo also arrived.If there is nothing to do, he always visits friends and eats their meals at around twelve o'clock and six o'clock in the afternoon, if it can't be earlier.After two steps, he carried the big red bag up the steps, as if she was seventy or eighty years old. Just as Da Chibao was rinsing his mouth, Qi Ruifeng also came.As soon as he entered the house, he congratulated everyone.After congratulations, he expressed his opinion that it doesn't matter whether he says it or not: "It's great! It's great! It should be like this! It should be like this! The marriage of the Guan family and the Li family is simply an epoch-making one, one, "He couldn't think of what to say, so he turned to a more practical question: "Brother Guan! When are we going to have a wedding wine? This time you have to show your skills! Wine is wine. Dishes are dishes, so don’t be ambiguous at all. I’m going to invite everyone, just talking about flower baskets, at least forty pairs! Also, we have to teach Section Chief Li to invite some Japanese to cheer, because this is an epoch-making event. , one..." He still couldn't think of anything, and felt that he was very elegant and knew how to look for words, although he couldn't find them. Xiaohe got the inspiration, with a straight face and blinking eyes, as if thinking about a line of poetry. "Yes! Yes! We must invite Japanese friends. This is a good opportunity to show the goodwill between China and Japan! I see," his eyes suddenly lit up, like a cat suddenly seeing a mouse, "Why don't you invite Japanese friends?" Wouldn't it be more beautiful to witness the marriage?" Ruifeng nodded again and again: "It's rare that you can think of it, brother, that is simply unprecedented!" Xiaohe laughed: "It's indeed unprecedented! I must have amazing hands when I do things like Guan Mou!" "What about the dowry?" Ruifeng approached Xiaohe, and said very intimately, "Did you teach Juzi to come and live here, so I can help a little?" "At that time, I will definitely invite her to come. I will never be rude to our friendship! Thank you in advance!" After Xiaohe finished speaking, she turned around lightly and saw Lan Dongyang coming in.He hurried over to greet him: "Why! The news spread so fast?" Since Dongyang was promoted, his airs have become more and more serious day by day.His airs, however, are not the arrogant ones, but relax the bones, as if they could be blown away by the wind at any time.He is too lazy to walk or move, his buttocks are always looking for a stool; when he sits down, he seems to be paralyzed there, unwilling to get up again.Occasionally he has to walk a few steps, his body is like a child just learning to walk, swaying from side to side and side to side.His face is not so relaxed, his eyes are always moving left and right, and his teeth are always clenched, expressing that although he has been promoted, he still has infinite hatred-hate that he didn't jump to the highest place in one step, hate that the world has There are so many officials, but he can't take over all of them concurrently.The more he hates, the more he feels that he is important, so he can not rinse his mouth without rinsing it, and can not open it without opening it, which shows that he disdains to talk to ordinary people, and the stench in his mouth seems to be precious and not light. Yu spit out a mouthful. He didn't answer Xiaohe's question, but rushed to the sofa and threw himself on it.He didn't pay attention to Ruifeng at all.He hates Ruifeng because Ruifeng didn't give him sports to go to the middle school principal. On the sofa, after pulling his eyes for a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth: "Is it true?" "What is true?" Xiaohe asked with a smile.Xiaohe has always paid attention to the manners among each other, but he doesn't dislike Dongyang's lack of rules because of this.Anyone who can be an official is admirable in his eyes; therefore, even if Dongyang is a donkey, he has to greet him with a smile. "Recruit brother!" Dongyang squeezed out these two words from the yellow tooth board. "Could it be fake, my brother Taiwan!" Xiaohe laughed. Dongyang stopped making a sound and bit his fingernails vigorously.He hated that Li Kongshan could get a beautiful recruiting younger brother, but he himself failed.He remembered how many times he had bought peanuts for his younger brother, hmph, those love investment clubs actually called "Shui Piaoer"!The nails of his big fingers were bleeding, and his face was constricted like a small dried walnut.Hate gave him inspiration, and he quickly formed a poem in his mind: "Die, you! I ate my peanuts for nothing, Dogs! " When the poem was finished, he read it silently two or three times in order to memorize it, so that he could write it down and send it to the newspaper. With poems, that is to say, with some manuscript fees, he felt a little happier.He stood up suddenly and walked out without a word. "Let's go after dinner!" Xiaohe chased and shouted. Dongyang didn't even look back. "What's the matter with this guy?" Ruifeng was a little afraid of Dongyang, and didn't speak until Dongyang walked out. "Him?" Xiaohe smiled, as if she understood everyone's personality, and said, "Anyone has to have a weird temper!" Good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles.In a short time, the scandal of the Guan family spread throughout the alley.Regarding this matter, Old Man Qi first expressed his opinion to Yunmei: "Xiao Shun'er's mother, what do you think, did you agree to my words? Xiao San'er, before, she often made friends with her, if I didn't stop her, hmph, Bringing her home, it's worse than the second daughter-in-law! What can I say, don't listen to the old man, it's not bad at all!" The old man was very proud of his foresight, and after finishing speaking, he combed his beard vigorously , as if it means that a beard represents wisdom and vision.Xiao Shun'er's mother had a different opinion: "Actually, old man, you don't have to worry about that. No matter how the third child stretched his legs, he wouldn't get her. They are all snobbish!" The old man heard some truth in Yunmei's words, but in order to maintain his dignity, he couldn't fully agree, so he only sighed lightly. Xiao Shun'er's mother put forward her opinion to her husband, Ruixuan only frowned slightly, unwilling to say anything.If he is willing to speak, he will tell her: "This is not just the shame of the Guan family, but all of us have made a fool of ourselves, because the people of the Guan family live among us - why are there such people among us?" What? If you only admit that the existence of the Guan family is a fact, you also admit that the Japanese invasion is inevitable, because rotten meat attracts flies! Conversely, if you can clearly see the existence of the Guan family It is a stain on us, and you will know that we must resist Japan and clean up our internal filth. Only when citizens have a reasonable life can they have a healthy culture and repel the invaders." He did not speak, First, because he was afraid that his wife would not understand, and second, he felt that his life might not be reasonable. Otherwise, why didn't he go to work in the Anti-Japanese War, but just lingering on his last breath under the Japanese flag? In the alley, Xiao Cui, Sun Qi, and Chang Shun were the most enthusiastic about promoting the Guan family.Xiao Cui and Da Chibao had a bit of a personal grudge, so he refused to let go of this opportunity to retaliate with publicity.He doesn't think like Ruixuan, but only gets his opinion from the surface of the matter: "Okay, you recruit sisters at home, and you teach others how to make secret doors, and your daughter will steal people too! God has it!" Eye!" Although Sun Qi agrees with Xiao Cui's opinion, he has another point of emphasis: "I tell you, Xiao Cui, this is a living retribution! You cheated on the Japanese, got an official, got money, hmph, your daughter is lucky Look, Xiao Cui, anyone who works for the Japanese and pretends to be a tiger will be punished sooner or later!" Changshun is still not very clear about the relationship between men and women, so he pays more attention to this matter.He really wanted to find out all the details in the story, so as to use it as information against the Guan family, and on the one hand, to increase some knowledge.He asked Xiao Cui and Sun Qi thoroughly, but they couldn't satisfy him.He even asked Li Si's mother, Li Si's mother didn't seem to know about it, and solemnly told him: "Young, don't spread rumors! Such a handsome girl can do such a disgraceful thing." ? No! Even if this is the case, we have to keep some morals in our mouths!" After Li Si's mother finished giving instructions, she was still worried and secretly told Changshun's grandmother about the matter.The two old women hardly criticized the Guan family at all, but only thought that Changshun was too "fine".Grandma gave Changshun a warning.On the surface, Chang Shun'er didn't dare to resist her grandma, but secretly inquired more closely, and made extra publicity. Li Siye heard about this and refused to express any opinion.His old eyes had seen too many things, both good and bad, good and evil;In his experience, he has seen many times of turmoil in the world. In these turmoils, both good and bad people were cut off by an invisible scissors, or they happened to avoid the scissors and left a life.Therefore, he knows the fragility of life, and the indistinction between good and evil.Under such circumstances, he only wanted to rely on his own labor to earn money for food so that his heart would be at peace.At the same time, to the extent possible, he should do something beneficial to others, so that he may have peace of mind after death.He is not discouraged when good people are rewarded badly, nor is he changed when bad people get benefits.His old eyes were fixed on a light far, far away that would teach him peace after death.He is an authentic Chinese, as if he has lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and he will live for thousands or tens of thousands of years.He is always suffering, and sometimes a slave.Patience is his highest wisdom, and peace his most useful weapon.He seldom criticizes or chooses anything, but silently criticizes and chooses silently all the time.He could lose his life and never let go of that distant light. He knows that he will live forever, and he will never make a fuss about any fluctuations.Someone asked Li Siye: "What's the matter with the Guan family?" He just smiled and didn't say anything.He seemed to know that the Guan family, the traitors, and the Japanese would perish, but he himself would live forever. Only John Ding doesn't like to listen to everyone's opinions.To be honest, he didn't think the act of recruiting his younger brother was completely reasonable, but in order to show that he belonged to the British government, he couldn't just talk nonsense like everyone else said.He still went to Guan's house and sent some gifts.He feels that only God can judge him, and others should not interfere with him and criticize him. "Public opinion" was first brought by Sun Qi to the nearby shops, and by Xiao Cui to the streets.Every time a big red bag or recruiting a younger brother comes out, people's eyes will shoot a little light, which is both strange and uncomfortable, as if seeing a foreign man and woman kissing in the street.Behind them, there are many fingers poking lightly. Da Chibao and Zhaodi felt those gazes and fingers, and came out more often.Da Chibao dressed up more redly, raised his head high, and challenged "public opinion".Brother Zhao also dressed up more beautifully, his little face added brilliance and bravery, and he walked with his mother talking and laughing. As for Xiaohe, she always goes to the street every day.When he went out, he walked quite fast, as if he was going to do something important.When he comes back, he always holds something in his hand and walks slowly; when he meets an acquaintance, he first sighs softly, as if he is very tired, and then reports to people: "Oh! It's not easy being a parent to your children. I just have to do my best!"
