Chapter 7 Four

"Shibie's three-day bento is admirable." Many students during the winter vacation suddenly hibernate, and each manage a little reason.However, those who can find him for a few days at a time are still a minority.Because the environment restricts people in this way, who can have the financial ability to hide himself in a place isolated from school and friends and concentrate on his own work?That's why many people still show up in the small teahouses on Fengzhu Street every night, and for the sake of the young man's straightforwardness, when his work has just a little clue, he will carry it with trembling joy. leaked out.However, this habit is not very good.Some people's work is just for the sake of leaking out, so they stop working because they are partially satisfied after listening to words of praise and seeing looks of envy.He easily ruined his ambition with memories, dreams, and happiness.

This leakage is especially easy among female students.Therefore, it is really rare to be able to work as hard as Wu Baosheng, without even knowing where such patience comes from.Therefore, it makes the onlookers see that instead of hurting such fruitless brains, it is better to use the first winter vacation to play foolishly and participate in music and singing concerts, the second winter vacation to go to lovesickness, fall in love, and the third During the winter vacation, I went to knit for my lover and hurriedly wrote family letters. In the fourth winter vacation, I blatantly prepared to marry clothes.Anytime, anywhere, they tell their secrets as easily as a shiver.But this matter is different from doing work.Don't say it out of joy and blow it up when you get praise.So they are usually successful.They don't need to find a teahouse to vent their feelings.They seldom go to teahouses. They only need a catty of peanuts or a catty of sugar-fried chestnuts, and eat them around the table in the dormitory, and everything becomes the subject of everyone's talk.

That night Zhu Shiqiao came back alone from the small graveyard outside the campus. His old black cotton robe was covered with dirt and dried grass and leaves. He walked back to Fengzhu Street with high steps and low steps.He didn't even look at the Daojing Shen's teahouse, but hurried over, pinching a roll of paper in his hand, with infinite thoughts in his heart, he wanted to find an unfamiliar teahouse to sort out the messy records on this paper.He held the hem of the robe with the other hand, because a button underneath had fallen off, and if he didn't lift it, the placket would hang down obliquely. He originally had a blue cloth gown that could be covered outside, so as to help him restrain it. The one who wore a big robe that lost its shape, but this long gown was sold by him again.Because he doesn't have the mind to do holiday work.He wants money for dinner again.Although there are many teahouses on Fengzhai Street, there are more students.Suddenly he walked past a dimly lit teahouse, which was filled with people.All day laborers, horsemen, and wagon haulers, who come here just for a cup of tea and an evening's rest.So they don't look at each other's faces with bright lights.And many people can be squeezed on a table.As long as it doesn't prevent each other from putting their legs on the stool and hugging their knees in front of their chests, it's enough for a few more people to gather at a table and chat.Therefore, the teahouse will have the most people and the loudest sound.Under the dim light, the room was smoky, and the Yunnan hookah pipe made of large bamboo tubes was whistling. "Shoot! Slap!" Blow the cigarette butt on the ground with a sound.Zhu Shiqiao thought, "Here is fine too. There is a cup of tea, water to quench the thirst of the day, and the lights are darker, as long as you can see your handwriting, isn't it enough?" He is the person who puts health at the end .He didn't spare his eyesight. He often said: "Eagle has the best eyes, but people put the eagle on their wrists and let it catch rabbits when hunting. Horses run the fastest, so people ride horses." Go after the prey!" He said this to the athletes.

He walked into the teahouse with his extremely heavy and enormous head lowered.Find an empty seat near the lamp and squeeze in everyone's table.He does not pay attention to others, nor does he look at others.He is single-minded.It wasn't until the boss found him that he asked the buddy to make a bowl of tea.The clerk put a drop of water on the paper on which he wrote the outline.It was inferior earthen paper, and a large area was damp on the paper.He glared at the buddy, smoldering with anger.The guy hurried away.He edited his manuscript again. The chatterers paid no attention to him.They are used to seeing students all over the street.Everyone is a drinker of a cup of tea, and no one cares about anyone else.They still said: "A box of yellow cigarettes!" Then they passed the big bamboo tube back and forth and "hoo! hoo!"Whoever sits enough, often messes up his handwriting when he gets up to pay.He can bear these.Around eight or nine o'clock, he made a paragraph of his work.He wanted to drink another bowl of tea, and after thinking about it for a while, he returned.At this time, a series of three people came in.A child walked slowly ahead.The second one was a man in black clothes, sunglasses, and a thin face. He supported the child's shoulders with his hands, and dragged a bamboo stick under his lapel.It is already polished to a crystal yellow.A third hand helped him up again.Also dragged a staff.Wearing light gray boobs.Without glasses, revealing gray eyeballs without pupils.Behind the back is a handful of Nanhu in a cloth bag, protruding from both shoulders.The boss nodded to the child, and the child walked towards a square table without saying a word.When he turned around, he saw that there was also a green cloth bag behind him, and inside was a trapezoidal wooden box.The two blind men took their seats.The child put the wooden box on the table and opened it. It was a dulcimer.The two of them played together.The one in black played the dulcimer and recited four lines of the opening poem at the same time.I can't even hear it clearly, there is probably something like "I can't bear to look back on the vicissitudes of life, and the boy's head turned white in an instant".Nanhu accompanied it.Everyone was still talking about what they had to say, and some people listened closely, their eyes all falling on the hand playing the dulcimer, or the child's pierced head.The child was born in a daze, looking forward with only blank eyes.

Zhu Shiqiao couldn't bear to be disturbed.His train of thought was interrupted.He simply concentrated on listening to a book.It turned out to be a piece of history.Distorting historical facts and embellishing them made him very angry. "Is this the Battle of Changsha?" A short-clothed man next to him said, "Listen to what he said 'it's easy to pass'. After a while, Guan Gong will come out." Zhu Shiqiao was even more angry when he heard that, and he really wanted to leave.He got up and took a look, and found that Yan Quzhong, Tong Xiaoxian, and Yu Mengqin were sitting at a table facing the street.Yu Mengqin was smiling at him.Originally, he didn't want to go to Shen's teahouse because he was afraid that if everyone had a chat, the work would not be able to proceed.Now that things are almost the same, the place is in chaos again, and I am looking for someone to talk to.So just in time, he brought tea and walked over.

"Zhu Shiqiao." Yu Mengqin said, "Is it over?" "I have to go back to do night work." He said. "When you came in just now, I wanted to call you." Xiao Tong said, "Da Yu didn't call me. He said you had something to do, that you wrote an article to criticize Liu Zhiji. Who is Liu Zhiji?" "He's a historian. Old man!" Zhu Shiqiao said. "But you studied Chinese and Western historiography together." Yu Mengqin took the opportunity to say, "Criticism can only be given as a reference. Liu Zhiji can't criticize casually."

"That's not necessarily true." Da Yan said: "If so, you don't have to work hard on your own. There is no one who can't be criticized. Anyway, I'm a student now, and it's just an exercise." "Yes!" Xiaotong said, "Criticism is a kind of autobiography. This criticism is nothing more than expressing one's own architectural theory by borrowing someone else's foundation. Otherwise, how can you let Mr. know your knowledge? If Liu Zhiji has the same meaning as Mr. Similarly, after writing this article, you can show it to others!"

"Forget it, forget it!" Yu Mengqin said: "There was a loophole in my sentence, and two mice got in right away. Everyone don't talk about it, let's hear what Zhu Shiqiao thinks." "Da Yu didn't mean to stop me from writing this article." He said, "But my attitude really needs to be more relaxed." "How?" Dayu said: "The article is written by people. Don't you understand that there is such a person as Bailianjiao? I am posting for his temperament. It's not that Liu Zhiji, or a certain Other people, or other things, are irrelevant. Look at you two!"

Everyone laughed together.Zhu Shiqiao said: "Don't be noisy. Others still want to listen to the piano!" The little boy said: "You sit so close by yourself, the air is so bad, here is facing the street, the air is better, and you don't have to write that kind of scriptures when you write articles." Like, awkwardly!" Everyone laughed again.Zhu Shiqiao said: "I'm just making a draft." At this time, two students walked by outside, and one said: "Let's listen to the books." The boy saw that it was Xue Lingchao, and the other was Cai Zhongmian.They came in and sat together.Everyone is familiar, but the grades are too far apart, and the first grade lives in the North Campus, so I don't recognize them.Only Xiao Tong had seen it from Wu Baosheng, so he introduced it.Xue Lingchao said, "We knew Yu Mengqin a long time ago." The little boy said, "You only know the name. As for the wisdom behind these three words, it's enough for you to know for a long time!" Everyone laughed again, and the two freshmen laughed too.Yu Mengqin didn't say anything, just looked at them with his eyes.Da Yan said: "When will a boy pretend to be an adult?" The boy said, "I've grown up a long time ago. But I just wrote this sentence because of my feelings. I only know a Liu confidant today. People can be arrogant. Is it?" Xue Lingchao said, "Is it Shitong Tongshi?" Zhu Shiqiao said, "Yes. But there are two more words, and he only made Shitong. As for Shitong Tongshi, it was the work of Pu Qilong in the Qing Dynasty. Cai Zhongmian said: "You are here to listen to books. You are only disturbing others!" Everyone listened again.Yu Mengqin saw that Cai Zhongmian's body and appearance were good, with a calm expression on his face.I thought to myself: "The first grade is really talented." Then I thought: "It's Wu Baosheng's honor again. He took care of the two younger brothers so well."

Xue Lingchao said, "This is about passing Zhaoguan?" "That's right." Zhu Shiqiao said. "It's 'Wenzhaoguan'. You deserve to be a student of literature. Just now I heard someone insisting that it was 'Battle in Changsha' over there. I didn't get angry!" "I don't care about the suffering of the singers, but it hurts the friends." Yu Mengqin said, "I can only understand half of the storytelling in Yunnan." "I only understand half of it." Da Yan said: "But we don't talk, listen carefully. Look at me and Cai Zhongmian, we don't say a word."

"I don't want everyone to stop talking and listen." Xiao Tong said. "People hope to give money when the time comes." Cai Zhongmian said: "I don't have any money, so I will support myself." "You're a layman," said the boy. "Teahouses are categorized. If there are storytellers, the tea money will be more. There is no need to pay outside." Sure enough, "Wen Zhaoguan" has been finished.Another episode of "Zhan Wancheng" did not come to ask for money.Zhu Shiqiao said: "It's dangerous. I only have one wax coin left on me. If I give it to him, I won't have to drive all night." "I donate." Yu Mengqin said: "A piece of wax is too dark. I have committed an old problem again, and I don't take care of myself! It's fine to write a few drafts here, how can I do this when I go back? The body is also important. For example You have just had a solid foundation in your studies, but you are 'unfortunately short-lived and dead', we will be very harsh on your criticism!" Meng Qin, the audience, looked at Zhu Shiqiao with a look of pity.Yu Mengqin also said: "When you write this article, I will add one wax every night, and you light one yourself. When you have this wax shining, your style of writing will be more relaxed." "Okay!" said the boy, "I'll support one too, White Lotus Sect, you don't need to buy it!" "It's coming again!" Da Yan said, "Don't have another one. I'll give you a half, and you'll have a half too. No cash, but stock." The two first-year students were fascinated by what they heard, and they were secretly happy for Zhu Shiqiao.Zhu Shiqiao just said: "That's fine, that's fine. Good! Good!" Yu Mengqin said again: "That Fu Xinchan doesn't know what's wrong? A few days ago, he said that he would translate a book of public international law by Wilson. I said that the book was too shallow and tasted like a textbook. He said he had no choice but that it tasted like a textbook. He’s too poor. I don’t think so. His English is poor. Reading a book can do a lot of good. Do you know what’s going on?” "I don't think it's successful." Da Yan said: "His purpose is money. He has no way of getting this impetus. He simply can't afford so many papers. After turning it over, it may not be published by someone. He will My heart is cold. Besides, the translated version of public international law is not as good as the original text.” "Fu Xinchan's situation is different." Yu Mengqin said: "He came out of the Orphan Reformation School, where ambition is not allowed by nature, so he saw that he was not brave enough." "We are too ambitious." Zhu Shiqiao said, "Look at the boy. Not only is he full of ambition, but he is also full of daydreams." After hearing this, the boy looked at Cai Zhongmian and Xue Lingchao and smiled. "But he's a lucky general." Da Yan borrowed a term he just heard from a storyteller: "They learn everything in science in a regular way. Just follow the steps and that's it." "What is your topic?" Yu Mengqin asked. "We have a topic for many people." Xiaotong said: "As soon as the second grade enters the department, the teacher will determine the student's interest. This work lasts for three years. When you graduate, it is a thesis. You have to do it regardless of winter and summer vacations. You have to do it yourself. In addition, there can be topics. Now the general is the genetic thing guided by Mr. Lu." "Do three-year experiments at once?" Cai Zhongmian asked in surprise. "Three years!" said the little boy, "It's still short! We use holland rats, which reproduce quickly. If we meet long-lived ones, like turtles, human lifespans can't last longer than him!" Xiaotong and the others have become accustomed to paying attention, and are fond of things with a little academic taste, so although everyone learns differently, they talk about the same speculation.The engineering college of the United University is placed alone in the southeast of the city, on Tuodong Road, and the students feel that they are at a disadvantage.Since their homework is quite urgent, they have little time to read books outside of class.Talking and going, it's all engineering and calculation, not as happy as here, chatting is equal to class.Talking, talking nonsense, and even showing off, he said to himself that he was reviewing and training the organization of his own knowledge.Speaking to those who listen is to increase knowledge.In fact, it is better to let the students relax.Why bother to pass the age when they are most curious and thirsty for knowledge, and wait until they are old, and then look back for knowledge. The environment is the environment.Whether to do it or not is up to you.Song Jiejun's exam results were released after the winter vacation. Everyone saw that he missed the exam and failed the homework and passed the limit.fired.He was no longer in school when I went to see him.Feng Xinlian knew about it, and only later revealed that he had already passed out of school at the beginning of the semester.Because at this time a road trade leading to Myanmar is developing.It's easy to fish in troubled waters, and there are quite a lot of messy self-made families.Young people who are ambitious and don't want to follow the right path flock to it.When Song Jiejun was in school, he went to a trading company to find a job.Before long, he was no longer seen in the teahouse.His clothes are also beautifully dressed, and he doesn't attend classes often.There seems to be endless money in my pocket, and there are always new things to give away.Mr. Jin is somewhat distantly related to him.Sometimes I ask him sternly what he plans to do in the future?Are you no longer going to school?He only said that now it is completely a kind of work to subsidize tuition fees.It's easier and more profitable than many jobs on campus.Unexpectedly, after getting used to the life of the anesthetized person, he embarked on the path of a speculator, and sometimes skipped school and went to Burma to do business.Nor is his appetite for knowledge strong.I am also at a loss about the purpose and needs of learning.Apart from playing basketball, there is nothing he is proud of in school.At the beginning of school, his homework was a mess, and his English was especially bad. Feng Xinlian also had a class with him in social sciences, so he chased him to give him tutoring.But he said to Feng Xinxian: "There is no need to make up for it. It is useless to make up for it. How much money can I earn a month after graduating after four years of study? Now the salary of professors is less than that of a driver. You can learn from them again. How much?" Feng Xinlian was so angry that he wanted to hit him.He also said: "Transportation trade is a new business, three hundred and sixty lines, what can't you do if you are the number one scholar?" Feng Xinxian let him go.Later everyone heard that he did a good job, he had some money and a car, and Chang Chuan lived in Yangon, so he took a plane to go there when he had something to do.Another name of a civil servant.Friends at school still miss him very much.Mr. Kim said it was a matter of temperament again.It is said that he is superficial, can't think amazingly, can only imitate but not create, and can't work hard.This seemingly successful situation is entirely caused by environmental trends.At the same time an illusion without a foundation.Moreover, considering his shortcomings of not being able to start a business, it is unlikely that he can successfully start a business.So I often say it to other students who are not strong-willed, and advise everyone not to be deceived by the bustling scene outside, and miss their own important events.He said: "To do things, you have to take the path of great resistance. The size of a business is almost divided by the difficulty of doing it. At the same time, people have to resist temptation. And temptation can never pay as much reward as resisting temptation. Song Jiejun Obedience to the temptation, you have seen the rewards. Try to resist the temptation! Maybe then you will understand what is really worth pursuing. Today, gold is everywhere on the Burmese roads. You can find it. It is too easy. It is not willing to bend This lower back is very valuable." Now the winter vacation is coming to an end.It's almost the old year, and no one pays any attention to this half-way monk.How big is the difference between three months of hard work and three months of changing careers! "Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." That night, everyone was having a good talk in this teahouse with storytellers.Suddenly Yu Mengqin looked out and saw Feng Xinxian walking over.Yu Mengqin is currently the editor-in-chief of the local Central Daily Academic Supplement.On this, Feng Xinxian's segmented casual writing is published regularly, describing life in school, and introducing many homework in college by the way.He was about to ask Feng Xinlian to give him the manuscript fee for the first month, but he couldn't find him for a day.So I called him in, but I didn't expect that a person beside Feng Xinxian followed and greeted them. It turned out to be Song Jiejun, but because his appearance and attire had changed too much, he didn't notice it for a while.It's always nice to see a group of old friends.After greeting and holding hands, Cai Zhongmian and Xue Lingchao quietly got up and left without realizing it. Song Jiejun was wearing a dark brown suit with small flower spots and a dark check.The material is really delicate, with a faint fluffy light.A thick coat, a little darker and of the same material.The collar of the light blue shirt is brand new, plain and flat, and it is clearly lined by the clothes, with a dark red tie in the middle.From top to bottom, there was a strange smell of perfume. When he sat down, he didn't think the table or bench was dirty, so before he could speak, he took out a small red flat iron box from his pocket, gave it to Yu Mengqin, and said, "Here's a box of 'Kraven Love' for you!" Yu Mengqin let him put it on the table and said: "Forget it. I have already switched to smoking Yunnan cigars. The money you paid for this box of cigarettes is enough for me to buy a 500 cigars. Don't make me smoke badly." , it’s hard to change it back!” "Don't worry, there's plenty," he said, throwing half of the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and sprayed it into the sky.There was a golden end on the thrown cigarette butt, which flashed in the air and drew half a bright parabola: "This is 'Three Nine', we all smoke this in Yangon. It's not expensive. But 'Kraven' Ai' the cigarette case is beautiful, I brought a dozen or so boxes, all of them are at Feng Xinxian's place, and they are for you, and I can't find any of you. Shen's Teahouse doesn't have any!" He said and took out two new Parker pens Here, a dark one for the banquet, and a red one for the little boy.There is also a beautiful colorful cardboard box for children.The little boy saw that it was a box of Kou Kou candies.Printed on it are many raised little people.It was really good-looking, so he was reluctant to eat it, and handed it to Da Yan to keep it for him.Song Jiejun added: "This box is beautiful, you can put it away and play with it. There are still plenty of chocolate candies! Stay for a while and divide it up. It's all at Feng Xinxian's place." "Feng Xinxian," Yu Mengqin asked, "What did he give you?" "Pen." He replied. "It's a set. A fountain pen, a pencil, also a new Parker. In addition, I trust him to buy some books. Some of them are suitable for you to use. I will send them to you. But it seems that we still have to buy books. Can’t be optimistic! What books do you want, but there are no books. Yangon’s cultural undertakings are not successful, it’s just a commercial port.” "There are also a lot of new books in Yangon. I bought two copies of Gone with the Wind, and one of them was given to Wu Baosheng by the boy. The movies in Yangon are also new." Song Jiejun said. "The book Gone with the Wind is pretty thick, right?" Zhu Shiqiao said. "Drink! White Lotus Sect! Look at me, I forgot about you. I can't read this book. It's full of new characters. I'll read it after you work hard to translate it into Chinese. I can bring you another book." A few books came, a book on reading. Someone told me it was good, so I bought it especially for you. It talked about reading palmistry, temper, and handwriting, and it was also in Feng Xinlian's. Here is another good thing. " Then he took out a small long cardboard box from his coat pocket.Open a watch. "That's right." The boy shouted, "Zhu Shiqiao won't find out after driving all night until dawn." "Not necessarily." Yu Mengqin said, "If he forgets to look at his watch, what should he do?" "Then I have to bring an alarm clock," Xiao Tong said.Everyone laughed in an uproar. "When clocks and watches first came to China, they were treated as curiosities." Zhu Shiqiao said, "It's no wonder. You see, he is such a small gadget, and he can manage people if he carries it in his hand." Said while looking at the small watch over and over again. "Listen!" The little boy also brought it over to study it: "He's so busy inside!" Yu Mengqin laughed and said, "You can see China's national fortune in the past few years from a watch. The first watch in China was engraved with Roman characters. On the surface, all I have seen are foreign beauties or landscape paintings." The glaze was fired on real porcelain. Later, Chinese time was used. Zi, Chou, Yin, and Maodi were engraved in double lines. It was foreigners who catered to the needs of the Chinese. Recently, Chinese-made watches are also Arabic characters." "This is actually a cultural trend." Da Yan said: "Roman characters are rare. I don't know how many countries use Arabic numerals. And Arabic is not a script with a strong military background." "This is what I'm thinking about." Feng Xinxian said: "Scientists don't divide national borders very much now. A piece of zinc is thrown into dilute sulfuric acid. In the United States, it also emits light gas. In China, it also emits light gas. Today, yesterday. It will be released tomorrow, and it will definitely be released tomorrow. So science has convinced people silently. What about literature? It’s just writers and critics who think it’s something for the whole world and all mankind. But people who read it may not be the same. Literature is It's easy to be assertive. It's not like a watch that dings and dings, waiting for you to figure it out yourself." "This watch is a good brand." Song Jiejun added: "'West Malaysia'!" "I almost forgot." Yu Mengqin said, "Feng Xinlian, I have the manuscript fee for the first month." As he spoke, he handed him an envelope, "You just put these few sentences together into an article. These meanings are very important." "There's nothing wrong with writing an article on these ideas." He said, "But there are too many things to say, and it's too crowded to write them out. It's a pity. Let's talk about it later." "What manuscript?" Song Jiejun poked his head out and asked Yu Mengqin, "You pay for the manuscript?" "Yu Mengqin is now editing the academic supplement of the Central Daily." Xiaotong hurriedly said.Song Jiejun's head was sticking out in front of the boy.One word startled him.He said, "Look at your emergency siren!" "I'm hiding the evil and promoting the good!" The boy would never let him speak. "I really envy you!" Song Jiejun said, "I didn't go to school because of financial difficulties. Now I'm making such an air. Don't laugh at me." "Come on." Feng Xinxian satirized him in the tone of an old friend. "Now you are like a person who went to make a fortune in Nanyang and returned home, and you are very proud. Why do you say such things?" Song Jiejun was indeed a little proud.He sighed and said, "I was also the one who oppressed the economy first. I didn't expect to be here today." "Prevent the small things from happening." Yu Mengqin said: "In wartime, everyone should live a little more frugally. No one can avoid economic difficulties. But this is not the way to deal with it, so there is more to say here. Let's just talk about making money. The difficulties at the beginning could be solved with one unit of money. I earned ten units at once. The cost also increased to ten units. At that time, although there was a lot of money, the oppression still existed. This way, there is no end!" "Now ask me to be a student again. I really can't do it." Song Jiejun felt that what Yu Mengqin said was his true feelings, and felt speechless. "However, this is something that cannot be forced." Yu Mengqin said. "It's also a good thing that you go out and set a good example for these crazy businessmen who have made a fortune. The government is relying on your transportation power." "Feng Xinlian said the same thing just now." Song Jiejun said, "But I also have my own difficulties. There are some people we work with, and they don't care about this." "There is nothing worth doing without difficulty." Yu Mengqin said: "Everyone should do their best." Because Song Jiejun came back to Kunming again, a group of them talked vigorously until late.Song Jiejun talked a lot about the scenery of the Hengduan Mountains in western Yunnan, the customs of the Yi people and the Yao people.Many hardships in transportation.Everyone also felt that it was not easy to blame, and it was very adventurous.Especially with regard to the many deeds during the opening of the Burma Road, everyone regarded Song Jiejun as those respectable unsung heroes. It's late.Song Jiejun paid for the tea, and everyone got up to leave.Seeing that Yu Mengqin didn't pick up the box of "Kalawenai" on the table, the little boy said, "Da Yu, you forgot that box of cigarettes." He took it and handed it to Yu Mengqin.Said: "Save this kind of cigarette box for me!" After leaving the teahouse, Song Jiejun went into the city to the hotel.We broke up.A few of them headed north and came back to the new school building.The little boy said: "I must know that Song Jiejun has another gift to send to the school." Dayan said. "You don't need to talk about it!" Feng Xinxian said: "That gift is probably not light. He discussed it with me for a long time. He even asked me if it's okay for He Xiangu to be engaged." "There is indeed a problem." Yu Mengqin said : "Fu Xinchan is very close to her, and they are from the same hometown." Feng Xinxian said: "Song Jiejun is indeed a different person, and his way of dating is also very different from everyone else. Leave him alone. He just came here When I look for you, none of them will be seen, and there are many things piled up in my place." "Da Yu." Da Yan said: "A friend is a friend, don't make things difficult for others like that. If Song Jiejun doesn't scold us, there will be a lot of problems. Why do you cut off his back?" "That's it." Feng Xinxian said: "I'll send you those 'Karai Wenai' and books tomorrow, and you can go back to the house first." After entering the school gate, everyone parted ways with Yu Mengqin. Feng Xinxian and Zhu Shiqiao lived in the same room during the banquet.Both are number eighteen.The boy followed them.There are so many things at first glance.And some new shirts and stuff.Da Yan said: "Xiaotong gave you some chocolate to eat first, and a shirt to change, go to bed first." Xiaotong smiled and ate the candy, and went back with the shirt under his arm.Zhu Shiqiao said: "I'm tired too. Let's forget about the holiday tonight." Early the next morning.The little boy jumped out of bed, and went out to release the pigeons and feed the rabbits as usual.When I thought about it, I still had some chocolate to eat last night.Reached into the bag and took it out. "Oops!" he shouted.Fingers stuck out at the bottom of the bag.It seems that this bit of sugar attracts mice.I ate the candy and bit a big hole in my pocket.He was overwhelmed by the thought.He hurriedly ran into the banquet room, entered the door of No. 18, and the group at the door of Dayan saw that only Dayan had just got up.He didn't dare to shout, but anxiously said to Da Yan: "It's terrible, mouse!" "You didn't want to finish your candy last night?" Da Yan said while buttoning his buttons. "The mouse took out the pocket!" he said. "I didn't tell you a single word last night!" Da Yan sighed and said, "Zhu Shiqiao said there is no need to tell. He said that you must finish eating before going to bed. I didn't expect you to be reluctant to finish eating." "It's not that I can't bear it." The boy said, "I'm already tired enough to panic. I went back and put on a new shirt. It was chilly, and I hurried into the bed. Cough, it's all wrong. The collar is too stiff! It's farther away from God. Already!" "Who is making trouble here?" Zhu Shiqiao woke up and asked deliberately. "The pocket of the boy's clothes was indeed bitten by a mouse." It turned out that Feng Xinxian had already woken up over there, and he continued, "Be careful to lose your pen." "Pen?" He touched it himself. "Won't!" "His pen will never be lost." Da Yan said: "The old one on his body seems to have been used for many years. But boy, why do you bring two? I'll keep one for you." "I want two!" he said. "The new red rods are filled with red ink. The old black rods are filled with blue ink. It will save trouble for drawing pictures at work." "Look here." Da Yan pointed to a washbasin on the table and said: "Let's put away the other things, just put the sugar on the table, and use the washbasin to buckle it. The mouse's front paws are the weakest. It just can’t be opened.” He said and took the washbasin away.He brought a mouthwash cup and called the little boy to take the washbasin to wash his face.The little boy took another piece of candy and said, "How do you know that the mouse has no strength in its front paws? But such a big washbasin, it must not be able to lift it." Then he left. After eating breakfast, Xiao Tong brought the beautiful cardboard box of Kou Kou candy from Dayan, and put it in the unbroken pocket on the other side. He also took the book Gone with the Wind to find Wu Baosheng.He went to the laboratory first to see, if he was not there, he went all the way to the south courtyard.Walk in the door and look in the reception room. Song Jiejun is there.Wearing another suit, more exquisite.The collar was changed to snow white.There are four or five paper bags of different sizes around me.The little boy said, "Are you looking for He Xiangu?" "Don't shout!" he said.Xiaotong found Mrs. Zhou to invite Wu Baosheng, and sat down to look at his presents, which were clothing materials, coats, shawls, cosmetics, and shoes.It is rich indeed.Xiaotong said: "This is enough to open a small department store!" While looking at something, Wu Baosheng came out.Hearing the voice, the little boy said to Song Jiejun, "He Xiangu is probably coming out soon." Then he ran out of the reception room and saw Wu Baosheng.Beside her is Lin Yanmei.Lin Yanmei was smiling at his panic that could never be changed. "Find one, get two!" said the little boy, "It's really worth it." "You shouted again!" Wu Baosheng blamed him. "There's no more shouting! Come on, the three of us go out for a walk, Yanmei has been here for a long time, and she just sat in the room." The three of them walked outside the south courtyard.Wu Baosheng suggested to go to Cuihu Lake for a small circle, and they went down Xicangpo, to the lakeside, and walked slowly on the embankment.As soon as Xiaotong had something to say and wanted to speak first, he would walk in front of the two of them, turn around and say something gesticulating.It was always Wu Baosheng who pulled him back. "Little boy." Lin Yanmei called him. "Wu Baosheng said that less than a month after I came home, I changed again. Look at me. Have I changed?" As they spoke, all three of them stood down.She stood still and turned around again. "Tell Xiaotong to see more!" Wu Baosheng said with a smile. The little boy couldn't see much change.I just feel that the clothes are more beautiful than those in school.It was a deep red dress with crimson checks and black spots.A navy blue long-haired coat was worn softly on the outside.People may gain a little weight.More beautiful.Wear too much clothes, a pair of shoes underneath, a pair of legs in silk stockings, those round and pleasing legs look even more beautiful. "I can't see it." The boy said, "I'm fat, but my legs seem to be thinner again. It's not like someone who can run 100 meters in 14 seconds. I'm thin, but my face looks like I've eaten too much good food ! I really can't see it!" He was still really serious. Lin Yanmei laughed so much that she grabbed Wu Baosheng and shouted: "Sister!" Wu Baosheng held back his laughter and shouted: "Don't say it, don't say it. You forget it. It's really unlucky to tell you! You won't say 'more beautiful Already!'?" "I'm visiting the city today." Lin Yanmei said to Xiaotong, "My mother told me to dress up. My father said, 'Forget it so-so. Land!?' I just combed my hair like this, you see. It’s nothing special, my sister said that it took half a year to change me to be similar to everyone, and it’s back to the original one in a month! You say Is it difficult to be a human being? I can’t make do with it!” "Oh! The hair looks like this!" The little boy looked at it carefully and said, "But I can't remember what it was like before." After finishing the first half of the sentence, Lin Yanmei nodded.Hearing the second half of the sentence, I couldn't help laughing out loud, almost choking.Wu Baosheng wanted to laugh and get angry at the same time, she said: "Your eyes really don't care about anything. If everyone is like you, it will really piss off the girls. You can't tell if you are dressed in vain!" "It's no wonder my eyes don't care about anything!" Xiao Tong couldn't believe it. "Tell me! When a new little holland mouse is born, I'm not the first to see a new pattern of hair?" "Hit him! Sister! Hit him! Sister!" Lin Yanmei laughed until she shed tears: "He scolded people! Sister!" 小童是真的没有留神，他赶忙说：“蔺燕梅，不生气，不生气。荷兰鼠好玩极了，有时候比人都好。他们不是坏东西。你记得他们才这么一点点儿大。毛这么长，或者这么长。小眼睛才圆呢！这么一蛱眯一蛱眯地！”他又用手比，又蛱眯眼，忙个不了。 蔺燕梅也是小孩脾气，她也曾看见过一两回小童养的荷兰鼠。不过是小童偷着带了她去看的。因为生物系不准人随便看，怕这些小动物太好看，招惹别人来偷。所以她看得都是匆匆忙忙的。小童只开了笼上的锁许她用小嘴隔了铁丝笼去吹一下小荷兰鼠的毛，两个人又赶忙收拾好躲开。小童答应在有用不到的时候送她一对。她一直念念不能忘。她今天听小童把她比成小荷兰鼠，心里也不气，倒想起自己若是一个小荷兰鼠，养在小童的笼子里不知道有多好玩！她又看见小童的那个样真像一匹最小的小荷兰鼠，她就出神地看着。伍宝笙早就听人说过小童半年来也会做梦了，梦里全是荷兰鼠。屋里，树上，箱子里，课室里，甚至衣服口袋里，被窝里全是荷兰鼠。大的小的，黑，白，花儿的，纯色的，夹掺了黄花儿的，长毛的，短毛的，知道他养荷兰鼠养得入了迷。什么水螅，蛊，都因为学力不够转给别人去研究去了。陆先生分给他同心兰的根干脆是大宴代他培的。看了他学荷兰鼠的样子，两个小孩子都像荷兰鼠似的。她把蔺燕梅挽在身边说：“小荷兰鼠，别忘了，一会儿还要去作客，叫人家奇怪，哪儿来的小老鼠！”说着三个人在堤上又向前散步。 “我想起来了！”小童喊。 “我想起来了！”蔺燕梅喊。 “你又想起什么来了？”伍宝笙问小童：“你先说，燕梅后说，她要说的事我知道，我先替她记着，省得她说后，你自己又忘了。” “就是这个，”小童把手指头从衣服口袋下面伸出来给她们看。小童永远是那一身破制服。冬夏一样：“这就是小老鼠闹的，我昨天把衣服挂在床头上就叫小老鼠掏了个洞！喏，这个！”他想起昨天宋捷军分送东西的情形，好不神气：“我有两件东西，你们一人一样！”他一边说一边往另一个口袋里掏。 “你把小老鼠装在口袋里了？”蔺燕梅眼睛睁得大大的。她真爱小荷兰鼠，可是小童若是这样递给她，她又有点害怕不敢用手接。 “唉！”伍宝笙叹气：“你们两个怎么得了哟！会不会一个说完了，一个再说？净插嘴！” 小童掏出了那盒蔻蔻糖。蔺燕梅才放心。“这个给我？”她说。便喜欢地接了。 “给你。”小童说：“昨天存在大宴那儿的，要不然，也叫老鼠咬了。” “姐姐！”她听了“大宴”两个宇，又想起她要说的话来，她进城来本是作客，也附带请客的：“你让我说了罢：我憋不住！” “好！你说，你说。”伍宝笙真像她的姐姐似的：“一句话也存不住！” “小童！”蔺燕梅说：“妈妈和爸爸让我来请客：大年初三，下礼拜天，请你们到我家来玩一下午。好玩着呢，这两天都把我忙坏了。有你。有大宴，我姐姐，范宽怡跟她哥哥，乔倩垠，凌希慧。方才姐姐说还加上蔡仲勉，薛令超。这些人都用不着你管。你去告诉大宴。别忘了。” “伍宝笙，你也加上两个客人？”小童很少在校外有宴会。他很奇怪地问：“是不是聚餐？” “别傻了！”伍宝座明白他的心思：“你是不是也要加客人？我替我妹妹问问你。说话以后不许这么个傻神气。学点作客人的样子，省得叫人家女孩儿笑你呆。” “只加一个蔺燕梅！”他向小主人说：“本来要加三个。冯新衔，朱石樵这两个神出鬼没地不去扰和他们。我加余孟勤。你说行不行？” “余孟勤？姐姐，那个圣人？” “就是他。圣人。”小童说。 “就是那个长方脸，浓眉大眼的。”伍宝笙说。 “有点像先生似的！”蔺燕梅一直记得开学那天那一双眼睛把她看得差点走到小水坑里的。她一直没有和他正式认识，不过在宿舍里闲谈，常常听到他许多事：“也请他。也是你去找！朱石樵，冯新衔也请请看。” “燕梅跟他还不认得呢！”伍宝笙说：“你去请请看罢，反正都是同学，不过我看他未必来。” “准来！”小童说：“他常常说起你来呢！蔺燕梅。这个圣人什么都知道，有他就特别好玩。” 他们说着走着已经又转到了翠湖东路和青莲街口。伍宝笙看了看表说：“燕梅！我们送你上了坡，你去坐车走罢，该吃喜酒去了。”他们上了坡看她上车走了。两个人走到回来的路上。小童才又想起方才一阵说笑忘了腋下这一本书，他们腋下挟书挟惯了，谁也不注意谁。小童说：“伍宝笙，这儿还有一件东西。这是宋捷军送你的。” 伍宝笙接过来看了一看说：“这本书我看过了，存一本也不值得，我就怕东西多。方才那一盒糖也是他给你的罢？” “也是。都是！”小童兴高采烈地：“还有新衬衣，还有新钢笔！你看！” 伍宝竺看他高兴的样子，又看他破制服里的新衬衣，和婉地说：“你们是老朋友，无所谓的。我不要他这本书，谢谢他吧。” “怎么？不要？”小童觉得奇怪：“他说知道你英文好，英文书看得多，特地买了托我送给你的。” “小说呀。”她说：“看过也就算了。让他送给别人罢。”。 “我就这么告诉他？” “嗯。宋捷军这个人的东西，不好收他的。”她看小童在等着听下文，便接着说：“他现在已经不是我们同学了。方才蔺燕梅来的时候，看见他抱了大包小包许多东西往南院走。凌希慧从里面出来三个人遇在一起。宋捷军请凌希慧代他去找何仪贞。又和她两个说要请她两个看电影。凌希慧说话是不留情的，她替燕梅回了她，说下午设功夫。她俩又走进来告诉大家。我们出来时，何仪贞还没有决定见不见他呢！可怜何仪贞这半年大概用了他一点钱，他那神气，和来信的口吻竟像人家何仪贞是他的人了似的。我们出来时候大概他是在会客室里罢？” 小童听了心上很不好过，说：“那么蔺燕梅接了那一盒糖。” “那倒是没有什么关系。”她说：“是你送给他的。她心眼好。别给她装上许多心事。” 他们走到文林街上，远远看见宋捷军和何仪贞走了过来。伍宝笙低了头，小童想想不高兴，想过去把书还他。伍宝笙已经察觉了，拖了他一把低声说：“别这么莽撞。你没看见那大包小包的还在宋捷军手里拿着吗？”果然何仪贞走过来时脸上坦然地。宋捷军倒也得意洋洋，并不以送礼人家不收为意。小童和他打了招呼，大家走过去了。 小童回去通知大宴余孟勤说蔺燕梅请客的事，大家都羡慕的很，冯新衔，朱石樵太忙，不想去。大宴的事情他自己安排得好好地，说可以放假一天。余孟勤也真想去，不过他那天在报馆要当班。去不成。他说：“咱们自己也玩一天。过年三十晚上，咱们自己聚一聚！”大家都赞成了。 余孟勤回去自己计算一下，童孝贤家境不错，这些天也收到了钱，大宴工作辛勤，用钱节俭，都不成问题，朱石樵，冯新衔都是有一天没一天地，还有傅信禅，似乎永远挺惨似的。就是这三个人不知这聚餐该怎样才好。至于周体予，倒是个有打算的人，永远有办法。余孟勤想着心上决定不下怎么办才对。想：“难道连过年都不吃点好的了？” 他又想学校里能有范宽湖兄妹的家庭，或是有蔺燕梅那样幸福的人，究竟是少数。但是物价一天天地高，繁华的引诱一天天地具体化，发国难财的人似乎都聚到昆明来了，把古朴的昆明城弄成了个暴发户的样子，而学生中到底变节走上了宋捷军的路的仍是少数。 “到底我们还活着1”他愤愤地用拳在书桌上一击：“我们消极地成功是没有冻死，或者饿死！我们并且积极地工作，求学。这个新学校的成绩，又像纸里包着火，自然地烧出来了！”这时学校里各方面全显出不停的努力，似乎是对外界大压力的一种反抗。 同学之间的感情也受了这种新处境的影响，从前在太平日子里，每人都把私人的事用礼貌保护起来，不叫别人过问。那时节大家的生活问题似乎不怎么需要应付，问起人家的经济情形似乎是一件过份亲近的事情。在那样环境里穷学生固然只好自己蛰伏起来。稍好些的，又苦于装那装不完的腔。现在这一层幌子是不用装了。一个人有了钱，人人都晓得，一个人挨了饿，谁也不会袖手旁观。余孟勤说过：“彼此关怀那装得半饱的肚皮甚于兄弟。”金先生笑着补充他的话说：“嘘寒问暖，过于夫妻！”所以谁也不会有当真过不去的情形。 大家之间那一层碍于情面不好探问的心虑既经除去，便可以放胆地去帮助别人，或是接受别人帮忙，这改变不知道包含多少踯躅或者误会。然而新风气一造成，便被大家实行惯了。离开了学校，分别了许久也都不会改变；我仍可以给你一支洋烛去伴你写文章，你仍可以把半旧的衬衣裁下一块布来给我做袜底。我们决不会彼此看了好朋友手中有价值的工作被生活艰难劈面夺下来。
