Chapter 15 Lao Zhang's Philosophy (15)

Lao Zhang originally wanted to write a letter to Nagarjuna, telling him about the election plan.Then I thought about it, besides the election, there was also the interview with Nagarjuna.And walking into the city without taking a car can save at least three cents of stamps compared to writing a letter.So he decided to take a short trip. Longshugu lived on the Old Drum Tower Street, and Lao Zhang's route was closer to Deshengmen.But he ate too much breakfast, and he was thirsty and had nowhere to go for tea.It's better to follow the root of the city to the east and enter Andingmen. When you are thirsty, there is plenty of water from the moat. Wouldn't it be convenient to hold two handfuls, so I decided to take this road.

The ancient and strong city walls are interspersed with small trees with short branches and thick branches; some are hung with half-red tiger's eye dates, which swing in the wind, attracting wild birds to fly up and down to peck at them.The wide dirt road under the city wall is covered with car tracks more than half a foot deep.Near the bottom of the wall, golden wild chrysanthemums are still blooming, which makes it even more lonely and profound.In the shallow water of the moat, a few white ducks floated, their feet washed bright yellow, shining circles of golden light on the water. Lao Zhang was thirsty to drink water, and sat under a willow tree to rest for a while when he was hot.The autumn scenery in front of me seems to be reflected in a photo box that is out of light, and there will be no impression.He couldn't help looking into the water, and the little fish moved the water up and down to form small circles. He always thought that someone threw copper coins into the river from the city wall, and the river was beaten in circles.With Lao Zhang's cleverness, he soon understood that it was a game for the little fishes. Although, he still looked back repeatedly!

Lao Zhang walked with the drink and entered the Andingmen.Then follow Chenggen to the Old Drum Tower Street. Nagarjuna's house faces east and west, with a small red painted door, black door center, painted with gold letters, "God speaks good things" on the left, and "Jesus keeps safe" on the right.A small sign on the left door frame reads "The Salvation Army Dragon". Nagarjuna happened to be at home and let Lao Zhang go to the upper room.Lao Zhang explained the election one by one, but Nagarjuna didn't say anything, as a default. After talking about the election, Lao Zhang brought up Nagarjuno's debts, but Officer Long just put it bluntly, saying that he would pay it back soon, but there was no definite date.Although Lao Zhang was in a hurry, Nagarjuna's neither humble nor overbearing support made Lao Zhang unable to attack.

There was a sudden sound of broken leather shoes in the courtyard. Longfeng—the daughter of Officer Long—came in with a few girlfriends. Seeing Lao Zhang in the upper room, they all went to the east room to chat and laugh. "Girls still go to school?" Lao Zhang asked them straight away, sending them to the east room with their eyes—those little pig eyes. "Now that I have graduated, help me with something in the church." "Okay! Girls can also make money, so you can count on your surname Long!" "That's all by God's blessing!" "If I have such a good daughter, my old Zhang can live comfortably for the rest of his life. It's a pity that I don't have that blessing." Lao Zhang said very miserable. "I don't understand you."

"It's not difficult to understand! People who are officials now don't want to marry female students. With the girl's abilities and appearance, why not marry a rich man? Will you still worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life!" "We believers can't sell our daughters for our own wealth!" Nagarjuna said with a rigid face, representing the dignity of God. "Old Dragon! You can't just think about it on one side! I know as much about religion as you do. Your current situation is much better than three or four years ago. Why? God's grace! Why do you have such a good daughter? God's grace You have the power to control what God gives you. God gives you money, and you can spend it as you like. Why can’t you give the daughter God gave to others at will, and enjoy some blessings for yourself? Believe in Buddha, believe in Jesus, It’s all the same, but I’m just asking for some blessings in this world. I’m talking about religious principles, don’t you think so?”

Nagarjuna didn't answer, Lao Zhang looked at Laolong's face quietly. "Your debts are always repaid. It's not that you can't repay, but that you don't want to repay!" Lao Zhang stabbed Lao Long again. "how?" "Look, there is such a good girl. If you tell her about her husband's family, you will get at least a thousand yuan as a bride price. If the debt is not paid off? Pay off the debt, and then the girl's power will give you a half-job. Is this not a way to survive? Besides, receiving a bride price is a recognized thing, not to sell your daughter. If you are willing to starve with bread, I have no other choice!" Nagarjuna did not speak yet.

Lao Zhang stood up and walked around the house with his hands behind his back. Sometimes he went to the door and window to look into Miss Long's house. "You have to think about it for me too. Who will suffer if you put a big piece of silver pancake on a bald-tailed eagle? Think about it, we'll see you some other day. If you're willing to do what I want, I won't take any money, but I'm willing to help!" After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out, then looked at the east room again. Nagarjuna just said "Goodbye"!Did not send Lao Zhang out.When Lao Zhang walked away, he smiled and said to himself: "It's probably 100% more, good!" He was very happy, so he went to Dongcheng to see Nan Feisheng, in order to secretly see Nan Feisheng's attitude towards the self-government association. What's up with the election.When they met Nan Feisheng, Nan Feisheng didn't say a word about the affairs of the meeting, and Lao Zhang didn't ask any questions either.

Fortunately, Nan Feisheng kept Lao Zhang for dinner, and Lao Zhang ate again "It rains millet in the sky, and ghosts cry at night".After eating, he hurriedly said goodbye, holding his round belly in his hands, and squeezed out the Anding Gate with three sighs.
