Preface: On X month X, year X, He Jingfu, Sun Yue, Xu Hengzhong, Wu Chun, Li Jie, Su Xiuzhen, former graduates of the 59th and 60th grades of the Chinese Department of City University of C, and I, the so-called "novelist", were in C Sun Yue's home in Room 102, Building 3, Faculty Dormitory of City University.This is a historic meeting that deserves special mention.Everyone is typical.Everyone's experience can write a novel.However, there are at least hundreds of millions of people like them in China.If you want to write your own experience and knowledge into novels, it is not enough to set up 10,000 publishing houses.And how much time the contemporary reader takes!How much more trouble will be added to future generations of historians!Literature and art pay attention to generalization, while history advocates simplicity.Therefore, everyone recommended me to make a comprehensive report on this meeting.Reporting requirements: abide by the principle of truthfulness; give full play to the novelist's descriptive expertise; the style should be novel, and the writing must be smooth; Wengui has "I", praise and criticize freely, but must be fair and straightforward, and spring and autumn style of writing is strictly prohibited.

The author claims to be a novelist, but in fact he is a hen that does not lay eggs.In my forties, I have only published one novel.Fortunately, the "post" happened at the right time, and he became famous in one fell swoop, joined the Writers Association, and thus got the name of a novelist.Therefore, whether a writer is a writer or not does not depend on whether he "works" or not, or how well he "works", but on whether he has the opportunity to enter a "meeting", that is, a "family".If you are off topic, take it with you immediately. The author knows that his heart is stupid and his pen is clumsy, but the friendship of his classmates is hard to get rid of.The level is limited, and mistakes are inevitable.The responsibility of the article is conceited, and I don't ask for forgiveness from the brothers.It is for sequence. "Novelist" Zhang Lizao X month X

Beginning at nine o'clock in the morning, the students came to Sun Yue's house one after another.A few female students came first and prepared the meals early.So as soon as half-past ten passed, everyone was seated at the dinner table. Sun Yue's room is not too small, 14.2 square meters.Inside there is a double bed, a writing desk, a dining table, a chest of drawers, and a bookcase.Usually there are only two mothers and daughters, so it doesn't feel crowded at all.But not today.There are not enough stools to sit on, and there are a few seats on the bed, leaning on each other.Where is enough for a small dining table?The writing desk is also pieced together.It was suggested that the chest of drawers be temporarily moved out to make room.But Sun Yue refused.On the cabinet was a celadon slender-neck vase filled with bright flowers, which she specially arranged for this party.The closet is moved out, where are the flowers placed?Without flowers, the poetry of this gathering is somewhat weakened.After hearing this, Xu Hengzhong quickly expressed his approval, saying: "You can't be without flowers! Our gathering this time is really rare. Although most of us work in City C, we usually have our own stalls, and there are very few opportunities to meet each other. What's more, this time And Wu Chun, Su Xiuzhen, and Li Jie, guests who came from afar! Besides, we poor scholars are only worthy of "huddling together" here. Go to his living room!" As soon as Xu Hengzhong finished speaking, Su Xiuzhen waved her hands again and again: "If you want, you can all come to my house! Our living room is not big, so it's okay to receive you! The decoration is no better than that in your big city. Rustic. When are you going? Let me know, and our secretary Cai and I will pick you up in person.” It’s really easy to change the country, but hard to change the nature.This Ms. Su always likes to bluff and bluff.She knew that none of us would make a special trip to her place, so she still wanted to make a gesture of sincere invitation.In fact, it is to show off her wealth and air, and to excite us poor talents.Among the few female students at the banquet today, she is the only one who is well-dressed: she has a new-style curly hair, is wearing cream, and is wearing perfume.It seems that we are afraid that we will forget her nickname - "Balixiang".I probably came up with this nickname, and it is only circulated among male classmates.There are two meanings: first, she likes to smear, so that people can smell the fragrance of her body from a long distance; second, there is a scar on her right cheek, and powder is applied on her face, and the "scar" is also fragrant.I know it's kind of wicked to have a nickname like that.But seeing this lady today, I still have a little self-admiration for this nickname!Look at her outfit again!The suit jacket wraps the fat body tightly, and the buttons will snap off when you move it, right?She mistook bloat for curves.I don't know the material of the trousers, they must be new products, and the seams of the trousers are so tight that they can be used as a knife to peel fruit.Can the half-heeled leather shoes support a hundred and fifty catties?Every step she took, I was worried that she would fall.The more you dress up, the uglier you get.But she is now the wife of the deputy secretary of a certain county party committee and the deputy director of the foreign trade bureau.The status is prominent and expensive, and the position is noisy and beautiful.

Press Su Xiuzhen and don't show it, let's talk about Wu Chun.Wu Chun came with He Jingfu, and he lived in He Jingfu's dormitory.As soon as he arrived, he took off his shoes and sat on the bed.As soon as the dishes were served, he picked up a piece of fat meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.So, before dinner, his mouth was already greasy.He listened to Su Xiuzhen's words, put down his chopsticks, and said to Su Xiuzhen: "Xiao Su, far away water can't quench your thirst, let's just focus on the present!" He turned his face to everyone: "The restaurant is sulking in the countryside, and I want to come out to relax." Unexpectedly, the old classmates responded enthusiastically, which moved me very much. Last night, I talked with Lao He all night, and wanted to give everyone a meeting gift. In the end, I randomly made up a Sanqu..."

When Xu Hengzhong heard it, he exclaimed happily: "Wow, Wu Chun! Are you a famous 'boudoir poet' in the first place!" The words "boudoir poet" made everyone laugh, even Li Jie laughed so hard.They all laughed and pointed to Wu Chun and called "big girl", "big girl".Sun Yue said with a smile: "You try to make a fool of yourself. Fortunately, we regret having lunch at school. The old cat is not at home, and the kitten is on the fence. We are fine. The kitten is not at home, and the old cat is messing around." He Jingfu pushed Wu Chun's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about her being a cat or a cat, just bring out your Sanqu."

Wu Chun nodded, took out a folded piece of paper from his coat pocket, slowly opened it, handed it to Sun Yue and said, "Let's show your artistic genius!" Sun Yue took the piece of paper and read it from the beginning , smiled and said: "Oh, this big girl! What kind of ghost Sanqu is this? I don't want to read it, don't break my throat and smash my brand." When several male students heard it, they rushed to read it together.Unexpectedly, Wu Chunzao grabbed the paper in his hand and yelled: "You don't want to grab the honor, but let go when you see the difficulty. I will read it myself! I will read it myself!" He is from Zhejiang, and he speaks southern mandarin. "The words were pronounced in a weird way, which caused everyone to laugh.He waited for everyone's laughter to stop, tried his best to pretend to be serious, imitated the posture of the teacher who taught Yuanqu that we are all familiar with, scratched his scalp with his hands, closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said: "Listen It's-"

The students all suppressed their laughter.Just listen to him chanting word by word and dragging his voice: "You said you and I used to be classmates? It's absurd! That one wears black shawl and looks pretty, this one has a long beard and hair raised in prison. Her husband is a farmer, and your lady is a businessman. I used to ride a horse and carry a gun, and he also used to lead a cart to sell pulp. .What kind of institution of higher learning can cultivate the number one scholar in such a thousand professions? Don’t be a classmate, and be a classmate. Carefully remove the frost on the sideburns, and be careful to raise children. And eat all the meat and wine, don’t let it down It's a life. Hurry up, brother, hurry up, sister, after parting today, when will we be reunited?"

When Wu Chunyin read the first few sentences, everyone listened to and laughed at one sentence, and at the same time pointed to his companions and said, "I'm talking about you!" "I'm talking about you!" But after hearing it, they stopped laughing.When he read "Carefully remove the frost on the sideburns and raise children carefully", Wu Chun's voice choked up and he coughed several times, and the two sentimental ladies wiped away their tears.After Wu Chunyin finished reading, everyone was still immersed in sentimental emotions. You looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.Wu Chunlian drank two glasses of wine, his eyes still half-closed.

Xu Hengzhong felt suffocated and called out: "Wu Chun!" Wu Chun hurriedly turned his ear to him. "Wu Chun, what is the brand of your Sanqu, and what is the question?" Wu Chun opened his eyes to look at everyone, sighed deeply and said, "Just like our life, there is no limit to the brand or the question. Twenty Years ago, who would have imagined that the life paths we have traveled would be so different? Can each of us put up a sign on our own path to ask a question? Let’s just talk about me, and I signed up for Tibet happily. I thought I was going to train the next generation for Tibetan compatriots, but unexpectedly, I became a military worker on the border. Riding a horse and carrying a gun, I was born and died, and I worked for ten years. The gun has eyes, so I didn’t kill me. I fell in love with I went to that place. But my health broke down, and I had to go back to my hometown and live a half-retirement life."

A classmate asked: "I heard that your childhood was very good?" "That's right!" Wu Chun slapped his thigh and regained his carefree look, "Shall I tell you about my romance?" So romantic.When Wu Chun returned from the Tibet disease, he was still a bachelor, and his widow mother had passed away.The leader of the original unit thought of his difficult life after returning to his hometown, and wrote him a special letter of introduction: "Comrade Wu Chun is returning to his hometown for sick leave today. Please try to arrange light work and help solve marriage problems..." Wu Chun is honest. On the spot, hand over this letter of introduction to the commune party committee in your hometown.Everything came true: he was arranged to do clerical work in the commune.In addition, a female cadre in the commune helped him start a family within a week.

"One week!" All the students expressed surprise.Sun Yue couldn't believe it.She repeatedly asked He Jingfu: "Is it true? Old He!" He Jingfu smiled at her and nodded.She still wanted to say something to him, but seeing him staring at her, she turned her eyes away and stopped talking.I think their condition today is delightful. "Good boy! I really have you, big girl! How about it, my wife is very beautiful, did you fall in love at first sight?" Su Xiuzhen asked.The expression is more exaggerated than the tone of voice. Wu Chun laughed loudly: "Xiao Su, I am no longer an intellectual. I don't know what it means to be in love or not to be in love. In this life, I have never loved or been loved by anyone except my mother. I need someone to take care of me." life, my disadvantage is that my health is broken, and my advantage is that I have saved some money in the frontier, and the salary is not low. All this is clear without meeting. She is also aiming at this Conditions come. Her family is financially difficult, and she has many brothers and sisters. Isn’t it just right to marry me, a “only seedling” who has a lot of money? As for feelings, I only know that I am pleasing to her eyes, and she doesn’t hate me when she sees me. That's it. What else needs to be talked about? It's not love at first sight, it can be said to be love at first sight for life." Everyone understood Wu Chun's words, but no one laughed. "Do you get along?" Sun Yue asked worriedly. "What's wrong? She's a nurse in the commune health center. She goes to work during the day and comes back at night. She does her housework, and I drink my wine. She doesn't allow me to drink, saying that my body will die if I drink alcohol. I'm not afraid, the gun Are you still afraid of drinking? I said to her, "Even if the coffin is placed in front of the bed, and the funeral will be sent tomorrow, I still want to drink today! Just leave it alone!" She also stopped caring about me .No, I didn’t let alcohol kill me. Of course, we are not like you intellectuals. The couple often sit around and talk about love. However, I am already very satisfied. I think I, Wu Chun, can leave a lasting impression on this world. Having a son and a daughter is not a waste of time." Sun Yue sighed and said, "Is your body okay now? If so, ask to return to the team!" Wu Chun quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Return to the team? Where is my team? I have long forgotten all the things I learned in college. I'd better stay in the countryside honestly, why bother to take up a real position with an empty signboard?" What? It's not good for the country, and I feel uneasy. In the countryside, as long as you don't offend those local snakes, you can be at ease. I asked, and I came to see you..." He wiped his face and stopped talking. I followed his words and said: "Really, when it comes to returning to the team, there are quite a few of us here who have not used what we have learned. But it is really difficult to return to the team, each has its own specific situation." Woolen cloth?After graduating from university, he was assigned to work as a secretary in the Cultural Bureau.Drafting reports, reviewing shows, writing meeting briefings... it's too busy.I'm not bragging, I'm busier than the chief.Sometimes, I think like this: If I switch positions with the director, hey!I must be much more relaxed, and our bureau chief must be at a loss.Of course, this is just random thinking. Our bureau chief joined the revolution in 1938, and I was not born until 40.I once wrote a short story titled (Who is the Director?), but I was the only reader, so I dared not publish it.I am afraid that I will be said to be insinuating and attacking the leaders. If I do not do it well, I will wear the hat of "careerist".And I know I have no ambitions.My code of conduct is: As long as there are two people working together, I will obey the leadership of that person.However, there are so many capable people in the world, why must employers only rely on "capital" and relatives instead of talents and talents? Su Xiuzhen suddenly pointed her chopsticks at my face, interrupting my thoughts: "Novelist, what you said is reasonable. We Chinese like to swarm, and when we say that intellectuals are rejoining the team, we all want to rejoin the team. I Don't join in the fun, it's needed for revolutionary work!" This Su Xiuzhen is good at singing high notes.Of course she didn't want to go back to the team, because she never had any interest in literature.For her, her current status is inferior to any "home". Su Xiuzhen's family background is very good.But I just don't like to study.In the class, she is one of the worst learners, and she spends all her energy on dressing up.When she was assigned for graduation, she was supposed to be assigned to work in the army, but she cried and refused to go, saying that she couldn't stand the "iron discipline."She asked to go back to her hometown in Shandong, saying that her fiancé was there.It's amazing that a "fiancé" popped up halfway.It turned out that when I went home to celebrate the Spring Festival last semester, I met the propaganda minister of her county, and it was "love at first sight".Her request was granted.She got married as soon as she arrived in her hometown, and became a special "officer" in the Propaganda Department of the county party committee, and soon joined the party.She reported her happy events to us old classmates in a timely manner. During the "Cultural Revolution", she came to C City several times, and she came to see me every time.Because I never "stand aside".There is no time when the director does not need a secretary.Every time, she left a very deep impression on me.I once jokingly said to her: "You are a character! Sooner or later I will write a novel with you as the protagonist." She exclaimed happily: "Really? I am a character? You write, and I support it. Don’t forget the three outstanding points!" No wonder, I don’t tell people my opinions frankly, Su Xiuzhen doesn’t know what I like about her.This spring, on a whim, I really wanted to write.The title is very unique: (I said, you are really a character!) However, the literary and art circles have launched a discussion of praise and exposure, so I stopped writing.I know that what I exposed was only a small bureau chief at the county level, and nothing will happen; however, it is never safe to get involved in any trend of thought, so I'd better be careful.I am a man without courage, so I am also a man without promise.Today, I can use this opportunity to write down all the impressions Su Xiuzhen left on me, and let my classmates take a look. I have fulfilled a long-cherished wish.This can be regarded as an ideal "virtual realization"!Old school friends know me, they won't grab my braids. Su Xiuzhen first came to City C in 1971.She found me and asked me to give her a theater ticket.She said to me: "When the movement started, our old man stepped aside, and I was also unlucky. Now, the old man is liberated, and he works as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the county party committee. The minister is a rebel. My middle school classmate, and I She is a good friend. I went to a middle school and became the leader of the political work team. This time I was transferred from abroad. I don’t have much power, but I can walk around, which is very comfortable.” I looked at her, and I was really very comfortable. look.People have started to gain weight.Dress is also very particular.I told her that Sun Yue was divorced and it was very painful, and I asked her to see Sun Yue.She slapped her hands and said: "I'm not snobby at all! I went to see her as soon as I came to City C. Why is this Sun Yue so poor! And she's not social at all!" The word "unsocial" confused me, and I asked her what it meant.She curled her mouth: "Pretend! You don't understand? Follow the society! Xiao Zhang, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, the bottom is already rotten! It's rotten! If you don't follow, you will only suffer. I don't care, people Fish me too. You go to my house to see if there is anything? It’s not like Sun Yue, who still sticks to her principles! I introduced her two friends in City C with good intentions, and she didn’t even have a meal. Keep!" "Then you are very social!" I stabbed her like this.It was sharp enough for me to say that to my face.But she still misunderstood me, and said happily: "It's worked out! Our old man is not capable, and if he is capable, he has already arranged a good position. There is no need for me, a woman, to run around. But then again, who doesn't Relying on your wife to show up to make connections?" What kind of smell does this Su Xiuzhen exude!Is she still a highly educated intellectual?After she left, I thought so. The second time Su Xiuzhen came to City C was in the autumn of 1975.She is already the deputy director of the county education bureau.She called her husband "Our Minister".I asked her where was the "rebel minister", and she said contemptuously, "Go down. This kid is not a joke. At that time, our old man was criticized very hard! Well, he fucked a woman, was caught on the spot, and went to work in a cadre school." I went. But it seems that he will be a small official, a new cadre!" I asked her: "Do you still want me to get theater tickets?" She waved her hand quickly: "No, no. People give theater tickets every day, please I was exhausted after eating." I asked, "Is it the parents of the sent-down youths who invited you?" She replied, "Of course. Who else?" "You'd better be cautious, eating a meal is equivalent to putting a rope around your neck, maybe one day you will have to settle accounts 2" I advised her. "My old classmate! Do you think I'm a fool? I know it. Anyway, everyone opens the back door, not me alone. I neither pull back nor lean forward. Go forward with the big flow. When I see someone bumping into the wall in front , let’s turn back immediately. I guarantee that I won’t be a model. I have caught sports, but are they all models!” I really admire her so much.She also has a skill.This technique is still useful.As a man with eyebrows, I am ashamed to be inferior to this "Crescent Eyebrow". After the "Gang of Four" was smashed, I thought about Su Xiuzhen and guessed her situation.I've thought of all kinds of situations, but I didn't expect that she would appear in front of me so soon with a more majestic appearance "Okay! The 'Gang of Four' has collapsed! Those bastards have all gone down! Our old man became the deputy secretary of the county party committee. I was transferred to the head of the Foreign Trade Bureau. If you want leather shoes, you can find me. We have a factory specializing in the production of leather shoes for export!" This is her "revolutionary need", what team does she want to belong to? "Is your lady in business!" Wu Chun said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "Yes! And just from domestic trade to foreign trade, the business is getting more and more prosperous!" I answered.She is already a businessman through and through.The intellectual smell was completely gone from her. Su Xiuzhen's chopsticks touched my forehead again: "Don't be mean, black pen holder! Do you think I don't know your background? There is no such thing as a good secretary!" I really wanted to say a few more words to her, but I couldn't think of the words all at once, so I could only move her chopsticks angrily. Seeing that both of us were a little annoyed, Sun Yue came out to persuade us, "Why bother? It's rare for us to meet each other." At this time, I remembered that I should say this: "A pen is not as good as a scale. The scale is always golden and will never turn black!" But before I could speak, Su Xiuzhen spoke again: "That's right! They are all old classmates. I came all the way to see you..." At this moment, my thoughts suddenly became sharp.I quickly interrupted and said, "You're here to have your teeth pulled! Also want to see if all the women are wearing cheongsams? Does the agency have a dance party every week!" Several classmates laughed.Su Xiuzhen raised her chopsticks to me for the third time.I'm ready for tit for tat.Fortunately, He Jingfu blocked it back with his chopsticks.He smiled and said to Su Xiuzhen: "Okay, Xiao Su! As for the way of life, we can only understand each other here, but we can't influence each other, let alone interfere with each other. Your protagonist has sung enough, let other students Let's talk!" Wu Chun immediately agreed and said: "There is another countryman like me here! Xiao Li, you, a college student, married a farmer, why didn't you get published in the newspaper?" Xiao Li's name is Li Jie.After graduating from university, she actively signed up to work as a rural female teacher in the countryside, which made her boyfriend flirt with her.In 1964, we saw reports about her in the provincial newspaper of her province. She became a model teacher and was very popular among farmers.But these years, I have never heard from her again.This time it was a coincidence that she came to City C to attend a middle school Chinese textbook meeting, and we only found out that she was married to an illiterate farmer.Of course, she would not be published in the newspaper, because she was already a "black standard soldier" at that time. Li Jie has never liked to talk.At school, no one paid attention to her.It wasn't until she insisted on going to the countryside that people discovered her and were taken aback.She would actually run to the rostrum, hold the microphone tightly, and repeat a sentence over and over again: "I want to go to the countryside and become a rural female teacher!" Her boyfriend is a graduate of another university in C City.He wrote to the leader of our department asking for care, leaving Li Jie in City C.The leader asked her to talk, but she still said the same thing: "I want to go to the countryside to be a female teacher in the countryside. We made an appointment, and he has changed. I have not changed." A teacher by example.Seeing that her classmates noticed her after listening to Wu Chun's words, she was a little uneasy, and kept combing her short hair that reached her ears with her hands, not knowing what to say for a while.Taking advantage of this moment, Su Xiuzhen couldn't help muttering: "Xiao Li also made the wrong idea." Sun Yue tugged at the skirt of her clothes dissatisfied, so she didn't continue.Unexpectedly, Su Xiuzhen's words opened up Li Jie's way of speaking.She looked at everyone frankly and quietly and said: "I did not make a mistake. I am the daughter of a farmer. I study to serve the farmers. I know how difficult it is for farmers' children to go to school. I can do something for them, too. I am happy. I have been walking on this road without wavering. I am satisfied with myself." "You don't need to marry a farmer to serve the farmer! What common language do you and your husband have?" It's Su Xiuzhen again!I really hate her.She already knew why Li Jie made such a choice.In 1964, after Li Jie became famous, a young military officer from her hometown enthusiastically pursued her.They established a relationship.Just when they were about to get married, the "Cultural Revolution" started, and Li Jie became a "ghost and snake god".The fiancé was afraid of affecting his future, so he resolutely drew a clear line with Li Qing.From then on, Li Jie made up her mind to marry an illiterate farmer who was not an official.But Su Xiuzhen doesn't seem to understand anything! Sun Yue glanced at Su Xiuzhen angrily, and the other students also expressed their dissatisfaction in their own ways.Only Li Jie was still so calm.She smiled and said: "I chose him myself. He served as a soldier under the officer who once pursued me. He was demobilized later. When the officer returned to his hometown to get married, he was invited to a wedding reception, but he refused. , ran to my school and sat there for a long time. I think he has a kind heart. Moreover, we all know the countryside and love farmers.” Su Xiuzhen didn't dare to "defend the world's disgrace" anymore, but she still kept her mouth shut and shook her head, showing a look of compassion.Li Jie saw it, looked at her and said: "Of course, our lives are flawed. I often feel sad in my heart." Su Xiuzhen's eyes widened with great interest. "Our cultural life is very boring. Neither of my children can see movies and plays. When my eldest boy was five years old, I took him into the city for the first time to see movies. Although I have taught him what is In the movie, he was still scared when he saw the close-up shots, and urged me to go home again and again. I told him to watch it, but he cried and said he was going to pee. In order not to affect others, I had to take him out halfway.” Su Xiuzhen giggled: "All the country kids are like this!" Li Qing's eyes flickered: "Do you think it's funny? When I walked home from the city that day, I wanted to cry! I held my son's hand tightly, feeling sorry for him. I said to him in my heart: 'Son, you are so ignorant. I can't blame you, and I can't blame my mother! My mother came to the countryside just to help your generation get rid of this ignorance. Mom doesn't regret it.' Really, I really don't regret it .” After Li Jie finished speaking, she lowered her head again, like a shy girl.Sun Yue looked at her tearfully. "When a person has ideals, no matter how hard life is, he will be peaceful in spirit. This is also a kind of happiness." A classmate sighed. "The price paid is too great!" Xu Hengzhong also sighed. "If you can be sure that your pursuit is worthwhile, what is the price!" Sun Yue whispered as if in a fantasy. He Jingfu looked at the speakers one by one, and said with a smile, "It's interesting to think about it. When we were students, we were always elated when we talked about our ideals, our eyebrows were beaming, and our cheeks were as bright as our eyes. But now we talk about ideals. It looks like this! The expression is gloomy, full of emotions. Is the ideal devalued, or is it depreciated by ourselves?" "Depreciated together!" Xu Hengzhong replied immediately. Sun Yue looked at Xu Hengzhong disapprovingly and said, "I don't think so! Real ideals don't depreciate. Either they are utopias or fantasies. We don't depreciate ourselves either. Either we remove the bones from our bodies." He Jingfu looked at Sun Yue and smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.Sun Yue's face turned red. Xu Hengzhong looked at Sun Yue, and said to her with a smile: "Xiao Sun, you forgot that ideals always have the nature of fantasy, even fantasy. The value of you and me is not something we can decide by ourselves. " Sun Yue shook her head stubbornly and said, "I don't agree." But he seemed unable to think of any reason to refute Xu Hengzhong.She quickly glanced at He Jingfu, as if asking for help.He Jingfu immediately put down the wine glass brought to his lips, and took the words: "Old Xu's words are also reasonable. Compared with reality, ideals are too perfect, so it is impossible not to be utopian. But ideals are not equal to utopias. Ideals have scientific basis. They can become reality, and they can also give people material power. .I have always believed in communism.” "Have you seen communism in reality?" Xu Hengzhong asked sarcastically. "I see! Although I was wronged in the 1950s, from the perspective of the whole country, there are still many things worth remembering in the 1950s and 1960s. The conditions of our cadres and the mental outlook of our masses are all different. The germs of new ideals. These cannot be denied!" Sun Yue said excitedly: "We all grew up under the influence of this atmosphere." "What about now?" Xu Hengzhong didn't seem to be reconciled to the agreement between He Jingfu and Sun Yue, so he asked again, and a hint of ridicule jumped from the corner of his mouth to the brow. I'm a little dissatisfied with Xu Hengzhong's attitude. Why did Jing Fu and Sun Yue chime in and said, "Now, we have discovered the problem and started to solve it. You can't say that it's farther away from the ideal than it is!" Sun Yue smiled and picked up a chopstick dish for me and said, "Here, reward!" Seeing that Xu Hengzhong was a little discouraged, He Jingfu raised his glass to him and said, "Come on, Lao Xu, let's have a toast! Ideals are not empty! Today I saw ideals from Li Jie's pursuit and your dissatisfaction with reality. The ideal, its original intention is this: to constantly improve reality, to enhance reality. Ideals that are shelved for viewing are utopias. Utopias are destined to be shattered." Xu Hengzhong just smiled, without saying a word, raised his glass to touch He Jingfu, took a sip, and put the glass down.In him, elegance and sourness are closely intertwined.So some people admire him and some people hate him.People who appreciate him say he is good, and those who hate him say he is bad. When they explain their views, they often use the same examples. Wu Chun didn't seem interested in such arguments, and only cared about eating and drinking.Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, but he was still holding a wine glass.Thinking that he is the main guest today, I said to everyone: "Let's have a last drink with Wu Chun! Don't talk about it!" Unexpectedly, Wu Chun put down the glass and said loudly: "No, let's talk! Old Xu, I want One point of argument with you is whether our value can be determined by ourselves. In my opinion, whether to be a human or a ghost, we can decide by ourselves.” "You're talking about moral values." Xu Hengzhong argued. "What kind of value are you talking about? What is a person doing without morality? I have been in the countryside all these years, and I have indeed done nothing. But I don't think that as a person, I have not lost or devalued my own value." "The value must be shown and recognized!" Xu Hengzhong refuted him. "Yes!" Wu Chun yelled.We all thought he was going to lose his temper, and we all raised our glasses and said, "Drink! Drink!" But he smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, I won't go crazy with alcohol. I just remembered one thing——" "That year, there was a severe drought in our countryside. The wheat seedlings were uneven. The hearts of the people were on fire. On the second day of the first lunar month, there was a heavy snowfall. I happened to be at my father-in-law's house. Early in the morning, the commune cadres came over the cable broadcast The words: "Go to the field quickly, and carry all the snow in the ditches to the wheat field!" The members of the commune opened the door one by one, and my father-in-law's house also opened the door. Someone has already gone to the field. However, no one arrived. They went to the field! They all carried the snow to the private plots. Over-purchasing made the commune members miserable, and only the grain harvested in the private plots belonged to them. This is not the capitalist tail of the peasants, but the humanistic belly of the peasants My father-in-law said to me: "You are a member of the commune and a party member. Let's go to Daejeon!" A good son-in-law. Tell me, did I show my value and be recognized by doing so?" "What's the use of farmers admitting it? Didn't the commune leaders criticize you?" Xu Hengzhong replied. Wu Chun wanted to speak, but was snatched away by He Jingfu: "Your values ​​are different. What Wu Chun talked about is the value of a person as a person; while what Old Xu talked about is our market price. The latter is indeed not what we can do. It is decided. But what we should pursue should not be the market price.” Wu Chun slapped his thigh and shouted: "Okay!" He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Xu Hengzhong saw that He Jingfu, Wu Chun and Sun Yue were fighting against him in turn, he knew he couldn't resist, so he immediately called a truce and stepped down.He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I am willing to bow down. I declare that I have transformed from an idealist to a realist, and the patient is so sick that it cannot be cured." Sun Yue followed up with a smile: "There should be a difference between realism and cynicism." Xu Hengzhong cupped his hands again: "Then I'm a cynic." Wu Chun laughed loudly, patted Xu Hengzhong on the shoulder and said, "The anti-rightist hero back then, how did he become Ah Q today?" Xu Hengzhong blushed, and immediately laughed to explain himself to himself: "Chairman Mao's Quotations page 263: The situation is constantly changing. Which Ah Q has not changed from a hero?" He Jingfu probably didn't want to bring up the anti-rightist movement to embarrass Xu Hengzhong, so he came to rescue Xu Hengzhong.He said: "Old Xu has suffered enough in these years. Everyone has gone through different paths, but they all have painful lessons to learn. We are all the same in this regard." Su Xiuzhen was so impatient with the argument just now.At first she barely opened her eyes to look at the speaker.But after a while, I couldn't open my eyes anymore.She fell asleep on the table and just woke up now.After hearing He Jingfu's words, she perked up a bit, yawned and said, "Really, it's too hard for a man to delay one child, Lao Xu, and he should find another one. Would you like me to help?" I thought I had offended her enough just now, and now I wanted to join in the fun, so I took it over and said, "Sister Su, do you want to help? We have three bachelors and women here!" He Jingfu and Sun Yue looked uncomfortable together. Su Xiuzhen got excited, clapped her hands and said, "How about wrapping it all on me? Don't think I'm not from this place, I'm more familiar than you!" Wu Chun shook his head again and again: "This is not for foreign trade, you don't want to solicit too much. Old Xu, you can care about it. As for Lao He and Xiao Sun, you don't have to worry about it." 苏秀珍好像恍然大悟,她像不认识一样,轮番地看何荆夫和孙悦,然后说:“你们二位谁还没有'放下你的鞭子'呀?” 这一个玩笑开得太鲁莽,也太粗俗,大煞风景。孙悦的脸马上变了色,何荆夫也不吭声。细心的李洁站起来说:“一顿饭吃了几个小时,该收拾收拾了吧!”大家连忙站起来动手。李洁又拉住大家:“男同志们打扫打扫房间,喝茶谈心,洗洗涮涮的事,我们女同志去做吧!”我们几个男人齐声拥护,女同志们随即到厨房去了。 扫了地,我们就坐下吹牛皮了。吴春对何荆夫说:“老何,我真盼望着你们的好消息啊!” 我也对何荆夫说:“过去的事都过去了。我看孙悦对你还很有感情。” 何荆夫只是笑,不说一句话。许恒忠看看表站起来说:“天不早了,儿子一个人在家,我不放心,我先走一步吧。等一会,诸位到我家里去坐坐。”大家点头答应,他抬脚便走。 许恒忠刚到门口,又退了回来,慌慌张张地对大家说:“好像是赵振环来了!”我们几个人一起拥到门口,果然,赵振环来了!
