Chapter 33 third chapter

Maybe Ding Baogui's problem is the simplest, maybe Ding Baogui's thinking is the most backward, he is the first person to be inspired and helped. The meeting will still be held in the conference room.Not many people came to the meeting, they only sat around the long table in the middle.Several "old gentlemen" waiting to take a shower have arrived.They didn't see an acquaintance from the same group.Those who participated in this meeting have only met a few times at the meeting, and they are probably progressive cadres from the theoretical group and the modern and contemporary group.Ding Baogui looked at each of the semi-strange faces with no expression - not only indifference, but also a little disdain, or even hostility, so he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

The chairman is a middle-aged cadre with a shaved head, and Ding Baogui does not know his name.He explained that this meeting was at Mr. Ding's request to give him some inspiration and help.Ding Baogui has a different opinion on the word "help".He thinks that helping is scolding and besieging, so like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, he trembles and waits for the knife. After a period of silence, a weak voice hesitantly asked a question: "What does Mr. Ding think of the Communist Party?" Ding Baogui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "The Communist Party is the great savior of the people of the whole country."

A thick layer of frost immediately formed on the indifferent faces around the long table. Ding Baogui thought his answer was too brief, so he sang enthusiastically, and even recited "tear down a mountain".But no one paid attention to him, and no one showed any expression. Ding Baogui panicked.Did he get it right? "Not enough"?He paused and said, "Ask again, please," as if he were facing a group of stern examiners. The Chairman said, "Okay, Mr. Ding obviously doesn't need enlightenment or help. The meeting is adjourned." Ding Baogui said anxiously: "Please don't hesitate to teach me and help me!"

The chairman said: "Mr. Ding, you have not corrected your attitude, you are still resisting!" Everyone around the long table closed their notebooks and stood up one after another. Ding Shigui was like a king of eight feet, he couldn't figure it out.He thought: "If you ask me, I'll answer right away. Are you still resisting? What should I do to have a correct attitude?" Of course, he was just wondering and didn't dare to ask. Yu Nan hurriedly said, "Please give me some inspiration and help." Du Lilin also said: "We are all waiting for help and inspiration." The chairman gestured for everyone to sit down.

After a moment of silence, a voice said in surprise: "I heard that some couples quarrel in English." Xu Yancheng stared and asked, "Who said that?" No one answered.The closed notebook was not opened at all, and the people who attended the meeting left one after another with blank faces, even the chairman left.The remaining five dirty "bathers" looked at each other. Lilin complained, "Yancheng, do you understand? This is an inspiration." Yu Nan also complained, "Look, it seems like we are all resisting." Zhu Qianli shrugged his shoulders cleverly, and made a French-style gesture, expressing contempt.

The five people were dejected and scattered to go home. A day later, the second meeting was held.This time it was to inspire and help Yu Nan.More people attended than the one that helped and inspired Ding Baogui, and the chairs along the walls were full.Several young people from the foreign language group were present, but none of them spoke. The chairman is still the middle-aged cadre with the shaved head.Yu Nan said that he had corrected his attitude and asked comrades for inspiration and help. The first inspiration is exactly the same as what Ding Baogui got.Yu Nan nodded and wrote down in his notebook.

Someone asked cautiously: "Mr. Yu is also studying in the United States?" Yu Nan seemed to have realized something through meditation, so she nodded and wrote it down. "I heard that Mr. Yu is a child prodigy." Yu Nan was so proud that he almost wanted to say a few words of humility, but he stopped himself in time, and still assumed the posture of meditating, carefully studying the meaning of the sentence and taking notes at the same time. Suddenly someone asked, "When did Mr. Yu come to the club?" Yu Nan felt her heart beating heavily, and couldn't help repeating the question: "When did you arrive at the club?"

The person who asked didn't say much, just repeated: "When did you arrive at the club?" Yu Nan didn't have time to nod, and hurriedly wrote it down. It seems that he has been inspired enough and no one cares about him anymore. At the same meeting, Zhu Qianli was next inspired.Many people enthusiastically asked: "When did Mr. Zhu return to China?" "Why did Mr. Zhu return to China?" "Mr. Zhu has many books, right?" "When was it written?" "Mr. Zhu is a professor, huh?" "What's Mr. Zhu's opinion on the fight against US aid to North Korea?"

"Mr. Zhu also has a foreign lady, doesn't he?" "Mr. Zhu has a lot of royalties, right?" Zhu Qianli took notes one by one calmly.He harvested a lot and was secretly proud. Someone also asked Xu Yancheng and Du Lilin a question, asking them why they returned to China. After that, everyone stopped talking. Ding Baogui defended himself with a mournful face, "I didn't resist last time." But no one paid any attention to him. Today's meeting ends here. Xu Yancheng went home and said: "I still don't understand. Of course I didn't open my mouth. Why did you go back to China? What's the mystery? What's the matter? We haven't quarreled at all for a while. Mama Li must have heard us If you speak English, just talk nonsense and we quarrel."

Lilin said: "I think they must have questioned our mother Li. Because I heard that they mobilized their lovers to help take a bath. They didn't come to mobilize me. Maybe we are in the same group. Ask me this and that, Afraid of missing out." Yancheng frowned and said, "I don't know what Mama Li was talking about." Lilin said: "Whatever questions they want to ask, they always ask you to think about it carefully. In any case, there is a crime buried in every sentence, and you are asked to confess yourself." Yancheng suddenly realized: "I think, Lilin, quarreling is also done in English and the moon is also round in a foreign country. That is to say, we are foreign slaves-I don't accept this! We are foreign slaves!"

"Students are not foreign slaves, what are they?" "Why don't foreign slaves stay in foreign countries?" "Staying in a foreign country has nowhere to go, and returning home is profitable, and you can also make capital and pretend to be progress." Yancheng thought about it and said, "Oh! The burden of progress!" He sighed and thought, "Why do you always blame us with the worst thoughts?" Lilin said: "Don't you want to be objective? You have to judge yourself by their eyes—you are always the most corrupt and filthy person." "There are no good people in the bourgeoisie. Striving for good is all hypocrisy and deception!" Yancheng was not convinced. Lilin suddenly became smarter. "Maybe they are right. For example, I think I am beautiful, but others think I am all dressed up. I paint here and paint there. If I don't paint or paint, isn't it ugly? I am in the mirror I am used to seeing it, and I think it is beautiful. Others look at it, but it is not pleasing to the eye." Yancheng heard her complaints, and said angrily, "Who is the other person?" Lilin said angrily, "It's still my own husband!" "It's you who wronged me." "I've wronged you! You might as well put yourself aside for a while and look at yourself with other people's eyes. You are a faithful husband! You promised not to lie to me! But..." Yancheng felt that her voice was too high, and the more she spoke, the more aggressive she became, so she immediately switched to English to defend herself. Lilin smiled angrily and said, "Isn't it also in English for quarrels?" Yancheng huffed angrily and remained silent. Two days later, at the request of the two of them, Shan held a small meeting for them and gave them some inspiration and help.When he came home, Yancheng said, "Foreign slaves are slaves. They worship the United States and fear the United States—this is not wronged. I did worry about the advanced science and powerful weapons of the United States." Lilin said: "It seems that I am worse than you. I was brought up by sucking the blood and sweat of the working people for generations and exploiting their livelihood. I am a smug beauty, love leisure and work hard, greedy for enjoyment, do nothing for a living, don't care about politics, don't know the suffering of the people, Without the masses in mind..." Yancheng said, "They didn't say that." "But I have to admit it!" "You can't do it all at once." "Of course not, but I have to dig my own sores like this." Yancheng suddenly said: "I heard people say that the group leader of the modern and contemporary group, who is lazy and lazy, has not passed the inspection several times, and he seems to be charged with some bourgeois thinking. He is from a good background and is in the revolutionary team. How can he have any assets?" What about class thinking? Did we teach him?" Lilin thought for a while and said, "There's no need to teach, probably because of the influence of our group of people, or infection..." "How do we settle this account? It's all in our account?" The two stared blankly at each other.
