Zhao Ziyue's scars healed and he left the hospital.He turned his head step by step to look at the women's ward. Poor, it's so far away, but he can't see Ms. Wang's beautiful figure.He walked to the red building where he was gradually losing sight of the hospital, sighed, and began to shift his attention from Ms. Wang to Ouyang Tianfeng.Then, tear the "she" imprinted in my mind to shreds, and go back to the apartment with all my heart to meet-"him"! When he entered the apartment, Li Shun greeted him with a smile and asked him if he was in good health, whether the waiters in the hospital were attentive or not.Zhao Ziyue felt a little bit grateful for Li Shun's sincerity, but because of his status, it was not convenient for him to talk heart-to-heart with his servants, so he hummed a few words about Ha'er's hypocrisy.Li Shun opened the door of No. 3 room, wiped the dust, and hurriedly went to get boiling water to make tea.Ziyue went into the house and looked around, the room was much colder and bleak, as if the City God's Temple was so desolate and lifeless after Lord Chenghuang went on tour.He unconsciously sighed.

"Where is Mr. Ouyang?" Zhao Ziyue asked. "I went out with Mr. Wu." Li Shun replied, "I'll probably be back soon!" Zhao Ziyue waited in the room scratching his ears and cheeks.Suddenly, Xiang Wuduan coughed in the courtyard.Pushing open the door to see, Ouyang Tianfeng and Wu Duan were walking towards the south room, shoulder to shoulder. "I said—" Zhao Ziyue jumped up as high as he liked, and shouted: "I said—" "Haha! Old Zhao! You're back! You didn't die from tetanus!" Ouyang Tianfeng rushed towards Zhao Ziyue like a petal blown by the wind, and the two held hands affectionately.Zhao Ziyue didn't know whether it was better to cry or laugh, but he felt that Ouyang Tianfeng's witty words were more than 100,000 times more pleasant than Li Shun's vulgar and sincere greetings.

He shook hands with Wu Duan again, and Wu Duan stretched out his hand from the trouser pocket of the foreign suit, lightly touched Zhao Ziyue's finger, and drew a plausible smile line on his swollen face. "Come in! Old Zhao! Tell us what good food you ate in the hospital!" Ouyang Tianfeng pulled Zhao Ziyue into the room. "Eat good food? Don't you ask about your big brother's sufferings!" Zhao Ziyue and Ouyang Tianfeng are like two kittens, you whip me with your little tail, and I touch your little nose with my little ear, like that Fighting innocently. "Don't quarrel yet," Butuan said, "Old Zhao, guess what? I have a secret to tell you!"

"Let's go! Let's go to the restaurant and talk! How about some old 'Xing Chen' in Jinlaifeng?" Zhao Ziyue asked. "You just came out of the hospital, and I'll give you a shock, Ouyang will accompany you!" Wu Duan said, "Guess what? Listen to my secret, even if it's a reward for face, food and drink are trivial matters!" "Whoever spends the money, we Ouyang I'll eat you with a broken belly, my friend!" When Ouyang Tianfeng said this, Zhao Ziyue and Wu Duan's faces were covered with a layer of golden light, and they had to show a little extravagance and affection in front of Ouyang.

Wu Duan put on a big cloak, Zhao Ziyue changed into a mandarin jacket, and the three of them arrived at Jinlaifeng Mutton Restaurant in a mess. "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wu, Mr. Ouyang!" Jin Laifeng greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, why haven't you come for more than ten days? Did you go to the presidential palace again with a white flag? This time, you hit the president several times in the neck." Child crutches?" Zhao Zi said with a smile but did not answer, he secretly admired the proprietor's words in his heart. The shopkeeper led the three of them to the private seats, and the three talked and laughed with their faces up, not even looking at the people in the scattered seats.It seems that people who eat a bowl of haggis and drink two taels of dry rice are not qualified to eat in restaurants.

After entering the private seat, Zhao Ziyue ordered them like a big brother: "Ouyang! You order! Lao Wu! Tell me your secret!" "Old Zhao! This is about you. Are you angry?" Wu Duan asked. "Don't be angry! Have self-restraint!" "Guess what?" Wu Duan said in a low voice: "Ms. Wang has given the photo to Professor Zhang! I know where the photo was taken, Langfang Toutiao Guangrong Photo Gallery! A six-and-a-half body is four pieces A dozen for half the price, and she laundered half a dozen! Is this news worthwhile? Old Zhao!" Zhao Zi said no words.

"Old Wu!" Ouyang Tianfeng ordered the dishes, and put all his energy into this secret circle: "Your news is absolutely true! The difficult thing is that we dare not mess with Professor Zhang!" "You made it clear about the odd majority!" Zhao Zi said, "Is it 'I' or 'we' who dare not offend someone surnamed Zhang? With these two fists of my old Zhao, even if the surname Zhang is three-headed, six-armed and nine-tailed, I don't care! I want to bet on whether a woman is worth a knife or a stick! Besides, the person surnamed Zhang is Ms. Wang's teacher, and I want to kill this corrupt dog for the society."

"Old Zhao, forgive me! What I said was 'I' dare not mess with Professor Zhang! But you are really vindictive, and I am willing to help you secretly!" "Humph!" "Actually, guess what? Professor Zhang is only a sour jujube seller, so why not fight!" Wu Duan said. "I'm not saying that Professor Zhang must be more powerful than us. What I'm saying is that his shrewd ghosts are not aggressive!" Ouyang Tianfeng said to Wu Duan, and then said to Zhao Ziyue: "In my opinion, we still Fight wits but not strength." "What do you mean?" Zhao Ziyue asked.

"Tell me first, are you still willing to go back to school?" "I'm tired of studying, it doesn't matter if I go back to school or not!" "Of course you stop studying out of conscience, and no one can stop you; but how can others criticize you?" Ouyang Tianfeng said with a smile: "Don't people say: 'Drink! After being expelled, I endured my anger like avoiding a cat and mouse!" Lao Zhao, with these two words, the reputation you have built in the past few years will be ruined in one fell swoop!" "Then I have to exercise and go back to school?" Zhao Ziyue cheered up After a long time, the decision to "put down the books and serve the society" has fundamentally shaken again. "Naturally! After returning to school, if you don't want to study, you can resign openly. When you resign, ask the principal to bow three times behind your buttocks, and all the teachers will send out the door and shout 'Long live Zhao Ziyue' three times!"

"Guess what?" Butuan's heart history turned another page: "Principal Zhou of the University of Commerce kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times to the students in the auditorium. This happened three months ago, and I saw it with my own eyes! Kneel three times and knock nine times!" When the food and wine were served, the three temporarily turned their attention to fried spring rolls and roasted lamb tail.The sound of cups, saucers and spoons touching each other and the interaction of lips, teeth, tongues and throats gradually became louder and louder.Those who have nothing to say don’t want to say it, and those who have something to say can’t say it, because most of the pronunciation organs are stuffed with food, “This way is blocked!”

"Listen," after eating the boss for a long time, Ouyang Tianfeng made up his mind to sacrifice, and stuck a mouthful of fried spring rolls to the inside of his cheeks, leaving a little gap in his tongue: "I tell you, you will understand the situation of the students now." It has something to do with the school trend: Now there are more than 500 students, roughly divided into 327 parties. Some advocate supporting the principal, some advocate supporting Professor Zhang, some advocate organizing a school committee, and some advocate disposing of school assets. Sell ​​it off and share the money... I can't talk about it for a while." He breathed a sigh of relief, peeled off the fried spring roll stuck to his cheek and swallowed it. "The main reason is the lack of powerful leaders. There is a lack of powerful, capable, and famous leaders like you, Lao Zhao! So if you work hard now, I guarantee that the students will see you again like the citizens of the Republic. Welcome you like a real dragon emperor, and obey you!——" "Old Zhao, guess what?" Wu Duan first put the last piece of fried spring roll in his plate, and then said: "I heard that Germany is still going to be restored, really. Yes!" "Then," Ouyang Tianfeng continued, "if you intend to return to school, of course you will succeed. Since you reinstated the headmaster with your strength, can the headmaster revoke the notice to expel you? After you return to school, you can't resign again. Read it, can the headmaster bow three times behind your buttocks!—” "But, I beat the principal, and now I welcome him back, isn't it self-contradictory?" Zhao Ziyue cultivated a philosophical mind in the hospital. By now, he had drunk a lot, and he would This has a mysterious effect; after all, it is good to stay in the hospital, he himself admits so! "Isn't that this one moment, that one moment! Isn't it that you want to use the opportunity to defeat Professor Zhang and take back Ms. Wang! This is just a means, who really wants to praise the old principal!" "how?" "You see, to hold the principal is to defeat Professor Zhang, and to defeat Professor Zhang is to take back Ms. Wang! Now let's try to steal the photo that Ms. Wang gave Professor Zhang," Ouyang Tianfeng said, taking a look at Wu Duan. "After stealing it, they publicly announced their secrets during the all-student meeting. In this way, will the students who support Zhang have to defect at the time? Yes! Definitely! At the same time, those who support the principal will naturally increase their power. Then we published in the newspaper Post a few more paragraphs about Professor Zhang’s love story, discredit him, and no longer be able to work in the education industry. He has nothing to do, so of course he can’t make money; can he do romantic things without money? Naturally, no one knows, no need I said, money is the pillar in the field of love; wanting to talk about love without money is as hopeless as looking at flowers without eyes! Then, take this opportunity to break two hectares of land, old Zhao, you, haha, Congratulations! Ms. Wang has now become Mrs. Zhao!" "But," Zhao Ziyue was already happy and sad, but he still asked with a straight face: "Wouldn't Ms. Wang's reputation be affected by this?" "It doesn't matter!" "how?" "How many classmates do we have in total?" "More than five hundred." "Five hundred and fifty-seven. Twenty-three more than last semester." Butuan said. "How many girls are there?" Ouyang Tianfeng asked. "Ten, one is lame." Wu Duan replied for Zhao Ziyue. "It's over! Women are only two percent. In other words, the value of a woman is equal to fifty men. So after the affairs of a man and a woman are exposed, the man will always be charged with the crime, and the woman will be fine; and the more Such a quarrel, the greater the reputation of a woman, the more popular! Do you understand this? My little iron cow!" "Do it!" Zhao Zi said happily, not knowing what to say, he said twelve times in a row (Wu Duan remembered clearly.) "Do it!" Zhao Zi said that he visited friends in the rooftop apartment, shaking hands, nodding, and exchanging cigarettes. Everyone felt that the soul of the rooftop apartment was lost and regained!During the few days when he was in the hospital, they forked sparrows and couldn't even "clear three times"; if they drank too much soju, they just vomited, and they would lose their minds and go crazy for a while.Zhao Ziyue is back!But come back!The first time I sat down to play cards, I had fifteen ties, and the first time I drank, four broke my nose!happy!Happy!Zhao Ziyue came back and brought back the true meaning of life!Eating wine, playing cards, listening to secrets, planning trends, singing Erhuang, playing the huqin, fighting, scolding Li Shun—all angry!Zhao Ziyue was so busy that he felt dizzy and dizzy. He didn't even have time to take off his cotton trousers at night, and he didn't even have time to rinse his mouth when he got up in the morning, but he felt his mouth was more refreshed!The one surnamed Wang told him the news, he told the one surnamed Zhang, and the one surnamed Zhang told him the news, and he told the news to the one surnamed Cai; if there was nothing to say, sitting together and talking about the good and bad of cigarettes; after talking about cigarettes, nothing more Say, create a rumor! When he got up in the morning and his mind was clear, he also looked into Li Jingchun's room through the small glass window, but said, "Lao Li is having an affair with Ms. Wang, he deserves to be killed!" Besides, since he came out of the hospital, his friends always gave him thumbs up and called him "a man of lofty ideals" and a "hero".Only Li Jingchun never praised him indifferently and tirelessly.There are two major forces in the new society: the warlords and the students.In addition to not beating foreigners, warlords are worth three belts when they see anyone.Students are worth a cane when they see anyone except not fighting warlords.So these two forces marched forward side by side, allowing the common people to experience some "new militaryism".If a warlord who does not beat foreigners does not bully civilians, he is not qualified to be a warlord at all.Students who do not fight against warlords are not considered ambitious youths if they do not fight against principals and teachers.Only Li Jingchun didn't praise Zhao Ziyue's martial arts, hum!Only Li Jingchun is a waste who doesn't understand new trends! As for Zhao Ziyue beating the principal, and the warlord beating Zhao Ziyue?Zhao Ziyue has never thought about this question, and it is not worth thinking about! The time flew by with the winter wind and sand, and it was already the Lunar New Year in a hurry.Zhao Ziyue was busy all day long, and the month plate in the house hadn't been torn off since he entered the hospital.But the sound of firecrackers on the street made him unable to deny that it was the New Year, and all the friends in the apartment went home to celebrate the New Year, only Zhao Ziyue, Ouyang Tianfeng, and Li Jingchun were left.Zhao Zi said that he swore not to eat the dumplings made by his little-footed daughter-in-law. It was not that he had any enmity with the dumplings, but that he hated the dumpling maker; he had a good term for this action: "resist the family Goods!" As for Ouyang Tianfeng, firstly, he was homeless, and secondly, he happened to play cards in Beijing during the New Year to earn more money.Li Jingchun got his mother's letter that he didn't want him to run home in the cold winter, and he himself was willing to take the annual leave to study more; their mother and son understand each other, dear, so they decided not to meet each other on New Year's Day. Lunar New Year's eve!Zhao Zi said, I am so lonely that I am going to die!Lying in bed?The sound of firecrackers outside shocked his drowsiness!Go shopping in the street?The leather robe was taken away by Ouyang Tianfeng, and it was probably temporarily placed in a pawn shop; wearing a cotton robe and going out on the street, even if I have the courage, how can I humiliate human beings!There are three bottles of shochu and a dozen kinds of dried fruit snacks on the table, and I don’t want to touch them; for the sake of the country and society, it’s better not to touch them; It was past one o'clock, and Li Jingchun was still humming and reading in the south room. "Inhumane!" Zhao Ziyue opened the door several times and wanted to call, "Old Li!" The words came to his lips and retracted. Dangdang!It's two o'clock!He summoned up his courage, picked up a bottle of wine and some dried fruits, and ran to the south room: "Old Li! Old Li!" "Come in, Old Zhao!" "I'm going to suffocate! Let's have a drink!" "Okay, let me drink with you! It's just a little, I can't drink enough!" "Old Li! Good friend!" Zhao Ziyue drank two glasses of wine, and became more intimate with Li Jingchun: "Tell me, you and Wang Ladies' relationship! Our friendship is important, so it's inconvenient to be guilty of a woman, is it?" "Me and Ms. Wang, Ms. Wang Lingshi? It's okay!" "Okay! Lao Li, you are a domineering person, you don't treat me as a real friend!" "Old Zhao! We have never been educated to communicate freely between men and women since we were young, and we don't know what a relationship between men and women is! Let's talk about other things—" "Sir! For the ones delivered at the end of the new year, don't you pay more, why don't you pay less?" A rickshaw driver outside the apartment shouted. "You bastard! The grandfather gave less money!" Ouyang Tianfeng's voice. "Sir, if you want to curse, I'll beat you damn it!" "How dare you, your grandma—" Ouyang Tianfeng's tongue seemed to be curled up.Zhao Ziyue put down his wine glass, and rushed out like a tiger preying on its food.Running outside the street gate, he saw the rickshaw driver holding Ouyang Tianfeng's arm to use force, Ouyang Tianfeng staggered and grabbed his arm. The electric lights outside the apartment are specially covered with a red gauze lampshade to celebrate the New Year.The red light made Ouyang Tianfeng's pink face even more beautiful.The coachman's head was covered with sweat, and white steam was coming out of his mouth, which condensed into drops of water on the shaggy beard on his lips.The driver stood under the red light, not only did not show that there was anything to celebrate in the new year, but it made life a little bit more bleak. "How dare you, puller!" Zhao Ziyue pointed at the driver. "Sir, you understand me! I agreed to bring thirty coppers here, and now he's giving me eighteen! Is it reasonable or not, are you a gentleman?" the coachman said while panting. "How much do you owe?" Li Jingchun also ran out and asked. "Twelve! Sir!" Li Jingchun took out a twenty copper ticket and gave it to the driver. "Thank you, sir! This is the gentleman who got promoted and made a fortune! Don't be like him—" the cart puller pulled up the cart, and walked out of the alley muttering. Ouyang Tianfeng's face turned red from drinking, like two red rose petals.He put his face on Zhao Ziyue's shoulder, and the fragrant wine smell radiated outward, making Zhao Ziyue's heart melt like a ball of yellow wax being blown by hot air. "Old Zhao! Old Zhao! I can't live! Die! Die!" Ouyang Tianfeng said with his eyes closed, half crying and half laughing. "Old Zhao! Let's help him and tell him to go to sleep!" Li Jingchun said in a low voice. ………… The sky is full of stars, and a star of firework shoots up from time to time in the space, and it becomes one with the scattered starlight.The fireworks scattered, and the darkness in the sky looked infinitely bleak!The people on the street were noisy and noisy.The neighbors are chopping and cooking pasta stuffing.The trumpet of Lama Temple always blows with the north wind.From time to time, a few beggar children outside the door shouted: "Send the God of Wealth here!" It provoked the neighbors' puppies to bark uncontrollably. ... These voices make the sojourners feel homesick.At night in Beijing, almost only the night of the New Year's Eve is so lively. This extraordinary uproar evoked a special feeling. ...Zhao Ziyue stood in the courtyard for a long time, nodded and sighed!
