Bao Shanqing has enjoyed and possessed all that a Chinese in the twentieth century can enjoy and possess, and still enjoys and possesses it now.He has money, a mansion, a car, children, aunts, antiques, books for decoration, fame, status, a string of official titles that can be printed on business cards and obituaries, and various Friends, there are electric lights, telephones, electric bells, electric fans, longevity, fat bodies and various tonics. If he could relax a little bit, he could lie fat on the bed, and his concubine and children would take care of him comfortably.Even if he just dies like this, his property is enough to teach his children and grandchildren to be happy for a lifetime or two, his obituary will have many inscriptions and poems of famous people, and his coffin will withstand decades of water and soil erosion, and There will be sixty-four bearers carrying him through the streets.

But Bao Shanqing didn't want to rest.He has his "political life".His "political life" does not include any doctrines, propositions, policies, plans and purposes.He has only one decision, and that is that he should not be idle.If he is idle and has nothing to do, it means that others are active and taking power, and he cannot accept this.He thinks that everything he can't participate in is in his way, and he should do his best to destroy it.On the contrary, he feels that he should not let go of any opportunity that is enough to make him active.Like a fishing boat, he tries his best to take advantage of the wind and adjust his sails so that he can reach the place where the fish are abundant earlier.He doesn't care whether those winds are harmful to others, he only cares about the wind for his own sails, and doesn't care about anything else.

Seeing the wind, enough to catch the wind, is his "political life".After gaining the upper hand, he can use very little labor to obtain the benefits that a Chinese "statesman" deserves.So he didn't want to rest, and he didn't want to rest; he sacrificed his vision and genius for seeing and using the wind for no reason, and he was so sorry for himself.The older he gets, the more he realizes that his own eyesight is accurate, and the more he realizes the immaturity of others; it is wrong to stand still.Besides, he has just turned sixty; he knows that as long as he has breath, with his experience and wisdom, even sitting there and breathing should have a political effect.

He hates those new dignitaries and new things that he is not familiar with. The older he gets, the more lovely his acquaintances are. Even if he is thinking about his friends, he should seize the opportunity to expand his influence.He didn't know much about new things, so he felt all the more clever and gratifying in his old ways.Whether it is a foreigner or a Chinese, no matter who he is, if he wants to do something for him, he should support him.Likewise, whoever does not give him power is an enemy.He clearly admits his generosity, and also clearly admits his jealousy and intolerance; this is the attitude that a statesman should have.He is very proud of having this self-knowledge, and that's what makes him great; "Offend me and get close to me, whatever you want!" The smile on his fat face indicated this.

Just after celebrating his 60th birthday, his photo was published in newspapers across the country, with the annotation: "New Chairman of the Construction Committee, Bao Shanqing." Looking at his photo, he nodded: "We still have to I'll come!" He thought of his political life in the past.Those past experiences made him able to hold down this new title. This new title can not only increase his experience, but also increase his status, and then produce even higher titles.Thinking of the glory and power in the future, he felt slightly satisfied with the present.It had been a year or two since his picture had appeared in the papers so generally and uniformly; seeing it this time he could not but be satisfied; this sixty-year-old picture proved the mediocrity of other politicians, proved Those who lose their own power should not be underestimated and will be hard to destroy.There are indeed a lot of new people and new things, but Bao Shanqing is green pines and cypresses, and the older he gets, the greener he gets.There is no second way in the world, Bao Shanqing's way is the only way, it has been like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future!His method is the bible of bureaucracy, and he has nothing against the word "bureaucracy"; "I'm only a bureaucrat if I don't have access to it," he said at the age of forty.

Looking at his own photo, he didn't feel very like himself.Yes, his fat face, big eyes, short beard, thick neck, and log-shaped body are all there, but he lacks some vitality.These are not enough to represent Bao Shanqing.With decades of experience, he knows how exquisite and lovable his expression and figure are, like a famous actor, he knows which posture of himself is most applauded; isn't he just such a short, thick and fat man.At least he thinks that two postures should also be photographed, the two most important postures that have become habits and are still used consciously, and are constantly corrected.One is on the face: whenever he meets new friends or interviews subordinates, his big eyes will stare for a while as if he saw something strange, and the flesh on his cheeks will sag; Then the flesh on the cheeks slowly shrunk upwards, and the smiles in the big eyes thickened layer by layer, and finally turned into a very charming smile.After smiling, he opened his mouth to speak, his tongue curled up a little, which made his voice soft and a little cute, showing his innocence and cuteness.This, even an iceman, would be moved by him immediately.

The second is on the feet.His feet are thick, but small.When he approached or dismissed a high-ranking person, he would use his little feet very cleverly: he would walk slowly, bend his legs a little, or move forward or backward, very nimbly.The agility of the lower part is enough to bring a lot of danger to his fat body, but he will try to support his body, and at the same time show that he is very agile, and he is respectful and humble. Only by finding these two points can he find himself.Political life is a kind of art, and these two points are the expression of his art.He would like to meet the world with this attitude, preferably printed in a newspaper.But the newspaper only published a person who was late and fat, which seemed to be a fly in the ointment.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter.There are many things, important things, that the newspapers don't know about.He thought of the last application of the "foot method": six out of ten the chairman of the construction committee was originally for Mr. Wang Xin, and it was written that Bao Shanqing had acted against Shanmu.Wang Shen's old office did not dare to agree to Shanmu, so Bao Shanqing sent it over with his own hands: "You announce my chairman, and I announce your senior advisor!" When he said goodbye to Shanmu, he stepped back briskly with both feet He bent over a little bit and put forward this "reciprocity" condition.Sure enough, Mr. Wang Xin didn't even get a committee member, poor Mr. Xin!No matter how stubborn Mr. Xin is, he is an old friend after all.Gotta try to find a place for him!Bao Shanqing tried to be kind to others in everything he did, so he couldn't help smiling.

Old Wang Xin is too stubborn!Too stubborn!Shanmu is a force and should not be offended.Besides, with Shan Mu as a consultant, things can be done much easier.He closed his eyes and thought for a long time, thinking of a metaphor.Have no idea.One last thing I thought of: when my concubine asked for something, didn't she wait to sit on the master's lap before talking about it?But that's not a good analogy.Bao Shanqing sitting on Shan Mu's lap?joke!However, with Shanmu here, this time's political life will be more stable, comfortable, and trouble-free than the previous ones.Orientals like to take power and do things; to cooperate with them, you must recognize this; recognizing this is to insure your career.Strange, Wang Shen has been an official all his life, and he still can't understand this point!What did Mr. Wang Xin do?Education, salt affairs, taxation, railways... have all been done, have been done, don't you understand that everything is just handed over from the top, and then handed over to the bottom.Submit the ones presented below, and only need to sign by myself?Why must Shan Mu be rejected this time?strangeness!Maybe there is another trick?can't you?Inquire and see; old friend, but there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Perhaps Boss Wang Xin doesn't want to bring down my platform, does he? Old friend!" he asked himself.He never wants to tell others about his affairs, so he often asks and answers by himself. "No, Mr. Wang Xin can't!" He thought, the chairman's inauguration ceremony had been held safely; the newspaper didn't say anything blatantly; although the committee members asked for sick leave, but seeing that I was in office without incident, It will be sold out in about half a day.Shan Mu liked it very much, and invited everyone to dinner that day. Although the food was not very particular, it was difficult for an Oriental!Everything went smoothly in the past; in the future, the mountains and trees are in charge, and there will probably be no troubles.Yes, let's find a way to settle old Wang Xin; half because he is an old friend, and half because it saves worrying about this alone.As for the appointment of people in the meeting, there is roughly a spectrum. A few hard introductions have been perfunctory. In the future, if you can be perfunctory, you can be perfunctory.Yes, this thing really counts my old luck!

Trying to change Yamaki's car, it's true, the Japanese like small bargains.It's time to change my own car, no, change it for Shanmu first, why should I be so busy at this moment!Why not together, really!I am the president and he is the advisor, no need, no need to learn from Wang Xin, always let Shan Mu do better! Having decided this, his political life this time is obviously going smoothly, so there is no need to think about it.If there is something worth thinking about, is it possible to do it for the third aunt's birthday tomorrow?What to do, she is still young, and she is afraid that the guys who have not been on the committee will have excuses and say something nonsense.If I don't do it, I'm afraid that some guests will come here temporarily, which is not suitable. One annoying thing about "political life" is that you have to use "thoughts" everywhere, which is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.In small places, as in large ones, there is danger in missing a fortune.Take marrying a concubine as an example, there is no way to live a political life without marrying, and at the same time concubine can cause a lot of trouble for others.Naturally, he thought that his marriage to his concubine was quite smooth. Firstly, he was very lucky, and secondly, he was thoughtful. He remembered the foreign concubine he married when he was working in Harbin—and later paid 500 yuan for it. The one who got it—he smiled.I don't want foreign ones anymore, they look so white, but the skin is very thick.Boo!He doesn't like watching foreign movies, mostly because of this.Even counting Chinese movies, none of those stars are really beautiful.To marry a concubine, I should go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to find a young girl from a middle-class family. Lin Daiyu is as delicate and tender as Lin Daiyu.The third aunt is like this, she is one year younger than her daughter, but she is much more beautiful than her daughter.It seems that she should have a birthday for her, poor thing.Besides, taking the opportunity to treat Shan Mu to a meal is obviously not an intentional treat.Yes, Mr. Shanmu, please invite a total of three or four tables of people, don’t mention birthdays to everyone, and don’t be too indifferent, concubine, this is an idea! Blessings make you prosper, and your thoughts make you overwhelmed by wealth. Your political life and family life are a strong proof.My wife recites Buddhism and eats vegetarian food, honestly.The eldest son has a good job, and the eldest daughter is in college.The second wife has three young masters, and the third wife gave birth to a baby last winter.An ideal family has never made a joke that is full of storms, so easy!The most worrying thing is the eldest son and the eldest daughter, who can’t learn any bad things when they are studying outside!However, the eldest son already has a job and will get married soon; as for the daughter, I just hope that she will graduate soon and find a suitable villain to marry; don't make jokes!Those who live a political life are not afraid of making jokes, but I am a member of the older generation, so I have to set a good example for the younger generations. This is political morality.There is no way to do politics without morality. The political stage is such a dangerous place. Without morality, there is no courage to take risks.I am sixty years old, but I still dare to shoulder important responsibilities. Is it possible that I have this courage if my morals are not fulfilled?Needless to say, my own moral cultivation must be much higher than what I can see, definitely. He didn't want to look at the photo in the newspaper anymore, it was just a short, lifeless fat man, but the real self was a politician with ideas, morals, talents, experience, and luck!After realizing this, his heart was very peaceful, like a bright moon reflected in the waveless autumn water.He wanted to play a few rounds of cards with his concubines, in order to exercise his mental strength, it was too peaceful. "Master, Committee Member Fang," Chen Sheng gently put a large business card on the small table. "Please," Bao Shanqing liked Fang Wenyu, and Fang Wenyu's appointment as a committee member relied entirely on his strength.Fang Wenyu came at the right time, when two men and two women—two aunts and wives—did a few rounds together. When Fang Wenyu came in, Bao Shanqing didn't stand up, he knew that Fang Wenyu would not annoy him, and would take such rudeness as a gesture of affection.But his eyes widened, and then he gradually revealed a smile layer by layer. He knew that this was enough to make up for the lack of standing up, and easily envelop Fang Wenyu's heart.Telling about these small festivals, he felt his own superiority, compared with Fang Wenyu here, he had to admit his experience and qualifications. "Wenyu! Sit, sit! I'm so lazy, these two days are enough for my old man...haha!" He had to tell Wenyu like this, indicating that he didn't just sit around at home. Busy; if the chairman is busy, the committee members certainly know how to work harder. "I know Shan is busy, now, I—" Fang Wenyu didn't dare to sit down, acting as if he was in a dilemma, only fearing that the time of coming would be wrong and it would be annoying. "Sit! Come at the right time!" Watching Fang Wenyu's performance, he liked this person more and more. Fang Wenyu was promising. Fang Wenyu is in her forties, tall, with a fair face and a bit of smoke.He has no other hobbies, except smoking opium.In Bao Shanqing's eyes, he is a promising person, shrewd, stylish, and thoughtful, but unfortunately, he is not very strong, and he can't always jump up.This time it took a lot of effort to get him a committee member, and I hope he can take advantage of this step to have good luck for a few years. "Wenyu, you came just in time. I was just about to take a few rounds. Do you have a hard one?" Bao Shanqing pouted his tongue, showing a very naive and mischievous look. "Serving the good old man, you never give money if you lose!" Fang Wenyu opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to laugh loudly, showing a few long teeth with smoky glaze.He didn't make a sound until Bao Shanqing laughed. "It's true at first," Bao Shanqing said solemnly after laughing, "A committee member gets five hundred and sixty, no travel expenses, no office expenses, hard work! But you have to know how to use Wenyu, don't idle your eyes; wait for Shanmu After drawing up the work outline, each county has to settle people; pay attention and introduce more people. These people have the hope of the county magistrate. You can’t just rely on a letter of introduction! This may teach you to loosen your hands A little, otherwise, you have to lose money; five hundred and six is ​​too much loss, five hundred and six!" His big eyes looked at his chubby toes, and he kept nodding.After staying for a while: "Okay, let's keep your account today. Do you have a bottom?" "Yes! Xiao Liu just bought a batch of authentic ones, please let me taste them first, the cigarettes are not bad, but the price is also worth looking at." Fang Wenyu shook his head, and picked up the "fort" with his burnt fingers. "I have a bit of it, and it's not bad. I'm on good terms with the second wife; she sometimes takes a bite. I don't allow her to eat more! Let's go to the inner courtyard?" Bao Shanqing wanted to stand up. Before he could stand still, the phone rang.He doesn't like answering the phone.He likes to keep many electronic gadgets, but he doesn't want to use them.Being able to use electricity is a kind of authority. Ordering servants to use the phone to order food or buy other things makes him feel that his orders can be conveyed far away, but he does not want to call and answer the phone himself.He knew he wasn't the type of politician to fly desperately. "Excuse me," he stood up, chubby tiptoe in, and said kindly to Fang Wenyu. Fang Wenyu's long legs seemed to step to the side of the motor all at once, picked up the earphones, and turned back to Bao Shanqing with a smile: "Hey, where do you want? Bao Zhai, ah, what? Ouch, Mr. Mo! It's me, yes! Mr. Shan talking? Ah, you also know that Mr. Shan doesn’t like to answer the phone, hee hee, okay, I’m Daida!...Okay, I understand everything, see you tomorrow, see you tomorrow!” Looked at the headset and hung it up. "Mo Shan?" Bao Shanqing tucked his chin in, thrust his eyes forward, and made a questioning gesture. "Mo Shan," Fang Wenyu nodded, looking a bit reluctant to report. "Teach me to tell Mr. Shan two things. The first one is that he will come to celebrate the third wife's birthday tomorrow, and he is going to play a few rounds." "The memory is really good, really good!" Bao Shanqing likes people to remember my aunt's wife's birthday. "the second one?" "Then what, what, he heard, heard, may not be correct, probably the students will come out to make trouble again!" "What's the trouble? What's the trouble?" Bao Shanqing said in a low voice, but very clearly, almost word for word. "Mr. Mo said that they are going to overthrow the construction committee!" "Nonsense!" Bao Shanqing sat down and tapped her toes lightly on the ground. "Then what, good old man," Fang Wenyu lit a new cigarette butt, "you have to be on guard. Everything is going well with the committee; if nothing else, just for auspiciousness, they shouldn't be let out , White flags are flying all over the street, it's very frustrating. Can you inform the Public Security Bureau to send a team to your place first, and then let them go to a team from each school, and prohibit entry and exit?" "Let me think about it, think about it," Bao Shanqing's toes moved faster, the tip of her tongue slowly licked her thick lips, and she blinked her eyes.After a long while, he smiled: "Let's ask Shan Mu first, what do you think?" "Good! Good!" Fang Wenyu flicked the cigarette ash on the carpet, then pinched his nose twice with his left hand, as if searching deeply for a good solution: "However, no matter how you say it, let the Public Security Bureau send you a team first Come on, make preparations, you have to make preparations. The plainclothes team should bring guys and guard both ends of the alley." His smoky face showed veins, and Li Liguang's eyes gave off some light. "Take care of both ends. If necessary, I have to be sorry. Pat a row of guns. Pat a row of guns, no way!" "No way!" Bao Shanqing also lost his temper, but he was not as impetuous as Fang Wenyu. "But always ask Shan Mu first. If he wants to use force to solve it, we have a clear conscience. If we advocate peace, we don't need to be tough first. I have already decided that I will invite Shan Mu to dinner tomorrow, just to discuss this. "Good old man," Fang Wenyu said apologetically, "forgive me for being young and impatient. What if it's too late tomorrow? Even if you and Shan Mu can discuss tomorrow, you should always come here with a team first, okay?" "Alright, let's call in a team first," Bao Shanqing whispered to himself.After staying for a while, he looked unwilling but had to say something, and glanced at Fang Wenyu; as if he was sure that Fang Wenyu was someone who could talk to him, he opened his mouth. "Wenyu, it's not that simple. I can't go to Shanmu right away. Why? You see, Dongyang people are careful everywhere. When I see him, he will ask me first, who is the initiator? Think about it, a group of young people What ignorant students know, there must be someone behind it. You probably want to say the Communist Party?" He saw Fang Wenyu's mouth move. "No! No!" He shook his head with certainty and a little complacency. "There is no Communist Party in China. I have lived for sixty years, and I have not seen a Communist Party. There must be an initiative behind the students. Someone who buys some candy and beans will buy them. The initiative will come to power and replace you and me. You—— I—" His voice rose a little, his fat face flushed. "We have to find out who this person or these people are first, and then we won't be caught by Shanmu. You see, it's like Shanmu asked, who is the initiator? I can't answer; well, Shanmu can poke a little Blackbeard said: You don’t know who is going to beat you? I can’t bear this. We can listen to Shan Mu on how to deal with our enemies; we have to find out who the enemy is. Is that the case? Isn’t it?” Fang Wenyu's long head circled several times around her slender neck, "very" admired in her heart, "extremely" admired on her face, Bao Shanlao. "I don't have the same mentality as you in my forty years, old man Shan!" Elder Shan didn't hesitate to answer, he rolled his eyelids and accepted the flattery. "Yes, to capture the thief first, capture the king, and capture the initiative. The students will naturally be honest. This is what I said just now: whether it is peace or force, we have to listen to Shan Mu, because the influence of the initiative must not be small " He thought for a while again: "If we still don't know who he is, Shan Muman can say that, since you don't know who is the leader, then you have to treat this as a student movement. It's going to be bad , student movement, a little student movement, we can't do it yet, we have to ask Shan Mu for an idea? Doesn't this bring the trouble to us? You are right, pat a row of guns, and you are guaranteed to shoot them back. That's right; It’s not up to us to release guns. If Shan Mu is in charge, let him go, he can pat a row of flower cannons! Isn’t that right, Wenyu, am I right?” “Extremely!” Fang Wenyu used a piece of dirty silk He wiped his blue eyes with a handkerchief. "However, good old man, even if we shoot the guns, we can do anything. Even if there are active people behind the students, they should be punished-if they don't study hard, why are they making nonsense! Oriental friends, Chinese friends, and business circles all support us Except for the students, except for the students! We can’t help the children! We have put in so much effort and painstaking effort to get to where we are today, and at the end of the day they shouted down, Mr. Shan?” Seeing Mr. Shan nodding repeatedly, his The anger that a smoker should have dissipated a little. "Let's do it this way, Mr. Shan, I'll first notify the Public Security Bureau to send a team, and then we'll separately call to find out who is the leader." His eyes suddenly lit up, "Mr. Shan, how about calling all the committee members?" Let's have a meeting!" "Think about it," Bao Shanqing decided not to be fooled by Fang Wenyu. In his experience, no solution is often the best solution, and delay is enough to kill time and turmoil. "Don't call the Public Security Bureau for now; they should catch up with us. This is their chance to get a good job. We can't meet them. As for the meeting, there is no need: first, none of the committee members are here, and second The committee members are not all recommended by you and me. It is troublesome to hold a meeting. It is best for us to inquire about the leader first; to find out about him," Bao Shanqing pushed his fat hands out, "one Hand over all shares to Shan Mu. Don't worry, save trouble, and don't offend others!" Just as Fang Wenyu was about to open his mouth, the phone rang again. this time.Before Wenyu expressed his willingness to answer the call, Bao Shanqing's chubby feet moved slowly and quickly, running and turning, like a busy duck.Taking off the earphones, he opened his mouth wide and gasped. "Where? Ugh, Secretary Feng, how's it going? Ah, ah, ah! Where's the director? Oh, I forgot, yes, the director went home to celebrate the old lady's birthday, my memory is too bad! Then... Um... please wait a moment, I will think about it, and I will call you again, okay, thank you, goodbye!" Hang up the headset.He seemed out of breath.A large pile of cotton was slumped on the big chair.After closing his eyes for a while, he said in a low voice: "My memory is too bad. I sent a birthday scroll to Director Chang that day, and I will forget it today. No way! No way!" "What did Secretary Feng say?" Fang Wenyu asked with concern. "Hmph, the students have already come out, so Feng Zi asked me for advice!" Bao Shanqing forced a smile. "What did I just say? We haven't taught them to send people, they have already asked me for advice; if we open our mouths first, the Public Security Bureau has not moved to my office? Ask me for advice, they are What are you doing?" "But the students have already come out!" Fang Wenyu couldn't think of a way, but because of her hobby, she was a little less courageous. "How do you want to reply to Feng Zicai?" "Of course he will send a telegram to Director Chang for advice; I don't earn that money, so I don't care about that." Bao Shanqing looked at the desk calendar on the desk. "You have no one to protect you!" Fang Wenyu warned again kindly. "Then, I have an idea," Bao Shanqing knew that the students had come out, so he had to do something for his own safety. "Wenyu, you call Zhang Qi and tell him to send fifty thugs right away, all with guys, each at 80 cents a day, and get the money from the committee. They are more reliable than the police!" Fang Wenyu put down his snacks and immediately called Zhang Qi.Bao Shanqing seemed to have nothing to worry about, she lay on the sofa and closed her eyes.Fang Wenyu looked at Mr. Shan and didn't want to think about anything, but he always thought that if things were not going well, he would run away secretly. There was no need to worry about him. Everyone is safe, nothing else matters.He suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and rang the bell.Press and call: "Chen Sheng! Chen Sheng!" Chen Sheng ran in briskly. "Chen Sheng, is Missy back?" He poked his neck, wanting to look at the calendar on the table: "Isn't today Sunday?" "It's Sunday, Missy didn't go home," Chen Sheng replied while pouring tea. "Call the school and tell her to come back, hurry up!" Bao Shanqing said very anxiously. "Wait to pour tea, call first!" As for his children, he loves the young lady the most, and is also the one who worries the most.She was born to the eldest wife, and she was also a girl, so he was especially kind to her, and there was some respect in the kindness. Naturally, the children born to the concubines were more favored, but that was all; In her, he seems to have found the person in charge of maintaining the purity and morality of the family for the Bao family.She is a "daughter", she must be as pure and beautiful as a daffodil.This daffodil provides the whole family with some fragrance, making the whole family feel that they have a daughter like a flower, and they will not be too presumptuous and nonsense.If the eldest lady went to the street to raise flags and yell in a mixed manner, the Bao family's flowers would fall into the mud, because once in contact with male students, girls can't keep their purity. "Master, the school phone is disconnected!" Chen Sheng seemed unwilling to let go of the earphones, turned around and put the earphones next to his ears. "Send Xiao Wang to pick it up! What are you doing holding the earphones tightly!" Bao Shanqing's eyes widened, and his short beard stood on end.Chen Sheng ran out, the car beeped outside the door.Immediately afterwards, he ran back again: "Master, Zhang Qi has brought someone here." "Tell him to come in!" Bao Shanqing's hand trembled slightly, the word "Zhang Qi" seemed to have the same meaning as chaos and slaughter. It means that disasters are coming in front of his door, and he starts to be afraid; although he knows that Zhang Qi is here to protect him. Zhang Qi didn't dare to go into the house, and stood outside the door: "Master Bao, I'm sorry, I only brought thirty-five people; everyone is busy today, because there are many students, and people are employed everywhere; I took the thirty-five Put it here with you, and look for it right away, and there will be no delays, and before lighting the lamp, we will be able to gather fifty people." "Okay, Zhang Qi," Bao Shanqing opened the door and glanced at Zhang Qi: "Where are they bringing guys? Okay! Hurry up and find a few more! The committee will get the money; yours, I There is another reward!" "Don't give me any more rewards, I'll spend yours! Then, I'm leaving, do you have any other orders?" Zhang Qi wanted to go out. "Wait, Zhang Qi, the bus has gone to pick up the eldest lady, wait for the bus to come back before you leave; go and see those people first, the east entrance and the west entrance are separated from the entrance! Don't get stuck in a pile!" When Zhang Qi went out to inspect, Bao Shanqing looked back at Fang Wenyu, "Wenyu, what do you think! Is it all right?" After closing the door, he walked back and forth slowly with his hands behind his back. "Probably!" Fang Wenyu also stood up, her face getting darker. "The problem is with the Public Security Bureau. The director is not here, so Feng Zi probably—" "Probably ran away early!" Bao Shanqing took it. "Empty city plan, there must be chaos, there must be chaos, this thing, this thing, we still don't know who is the leader, what can we do?" Telephone!Fang Wenyu grabbed the earphones without waiting for instructions. "Who? Xiao Wang?...Wait!" Nodded sideways: "Old Shan, Xiao Wang, the coachman, borrowed the phone on the street. The students have all gone out, and the eldest lady probably left with her; the street is chaotic, call me It's time!" "Tell Xiao Wang to come back quickly!" "Come back quickly!" Fang Wenyu hung up the earphones viciously, feeling very confused, and wanted to burn a cigarette. "Chen Sheng!" Bao Shanqing shouted out the window, "Call Zhang Qilai!" This time, Zhang Qi entered the room and stood there very politely. "Zhang Qi, for a reward of fifty yuan, go and find the eldest lady! Do you know her school?" "I know! But Master Bao, with thousands of students, where do I go to find her? I alone, and two more, I can't drag you out even if I find Miss!" I found it, and I'll give you another ten yuan!" Fang Wenyu looked at Elder Shan and handed over to Zhang Qi. "Okay, I'll touch it!" Zhang Qi walked out not very optimistic. "Xiao Wang is back, master," Chen Sheng came in to report. "Then what, Chen Sheng, give me the hat." Bao Shanqing was stunned for a while, then turned to Fang Wenyu: "Wenyu, don't go, I'll go out and have a look, a girl can't—" "Old Shan!" Fang Wenyu grabbed Old Shan's hand, which was very cold. "How can you go out! Let me go. Few people know me, your photo—" The two turned their eyes to the newspaper on the table at the same time. "Wenyu, you can't go out either!" Bao Shanqing's legs softened and he sat down. "Can you find a way to find Shanmu? This can't be considered a trivial matter, right? My daughter! If he sends two of his personal soldiers, he will surely get it back!" "If he doesn't care, it's not a big deal!" Fang Wenyu said in a low voice. "Listen!" Bao Shanqing straightened up. The package house is not very far from the street, and the horns of cars can usually be heard.Now, like a heavy summer rain coming from far and near, there is a continuous, chaotic and low-pitched noise. I can't tell what the sound is, but it is so flowing, getting closer and closer, a terrible tide of anger , rushing forward. Fang Wenyu's face changed from gray to pale green, he opened his mouth suddenly and swallowed a breath. "Old Shan, we have to escape, right?" Bao Shanqing's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, his face turned completely purple.Anger and fear tugged at his heart, making him speechless. "Students! Students! A bunch of hairy kids!" He said in his heart, "What do you know! What do you know! Bao Shanqing's political life must make you quarrel! Bao Shanqing has nothing to do with others! You bastards, a bunch of bastards! " Zhang Qi opened the door and didn't bother to take off his hat: "My lord, they're here! I went to find the eldest lady, and I happened to meet them!" "Is the west entrance strictly controlled?" Bao Shanqing managed to speak out. "They don't come here, they go to the teaching ground to gather." "If you want to come in, shoot, I'll tell you!" Bao Shanqing became a little tougher when he heard that the students would not enter the alley. "Listen!" Zhang Qi pushed the door open. "Down with traitors!" Thousands of voices shouted at the same time. Bao Shanqing's big eyes looked around, as if the word "traitor" fell from the sky like a kite.He didn't find anything, but another cry came down from the sky: "Down with the traitors!" He looked at Fang Wenyu, then at Zhang Qi, and tried to smile, but he didn't. "Seven," the word "Zhang" could not be said neatly: "Where is Missy? I will teach you to find Missy!" "This team is from Missy's school, and there is a large group of male students behind." "See her?" "The first one to raise the flag is the eldest lady!" "Down with the traitors!" Another voice came from the air. In this sound, Bao Shanqing seemed to hear her daughter's voice clearly. "Okay, okay!" His hands and lips trembled. "No father, no king, a group of men who steal women and whores! I will settle accounts with you, don't worry, Miss! I can't control other people's children, and you can't get out of my hands! Dad is a traitor, good!" "Old Shan Good old man!" Fang Wenyu's addiction to cigarettes has already come up, and he struggled to comfort him: "Don't be so angry, the young lady is young, and she was confused for a while, so it can't be regarded as sincerely resisting you, absolutely not!" "You don't know!" Bao Shanqing trembled even more. "If she wants money, clothes, or a car, she can do it, just tell me; why bother shouting all over the street! Crazy? Traitor, dad is a traitor, sounds good? You bastard, shameless!" Telephone!No one picked it up.Fang Wenyu was too addicted to move, and Bao Shanqing was too angry. Zhang Qi waited for the bell to ring for a long time, then went over to take off the earphones while chatting up a conversation. "...Wait a minute. My lord, Secretary Feng of the Public Security Bureau." "Hang up, there is no way!" Bao Shanqing lay on the sofa. "Chen Sheng! Chen Sheng!" Fang Wenyu called in a low voice. Chen Sheng is in the courtyard, come in quickly. Fang Wenyu pointed to the inner courtyard, then pursed her lips, and clicked softly a few times like calling a cat. Chen Sheng and Zhang Qi withdrew together. Shinhan Murray one Once he drank a little too much wine, Tian Liede said to a friend half self-deprecating and half conceited: "I am Shakespeare's Hammond; I have the same name but different surnames, as if." "You also see ghosts?" the friend asked with a smile. "There's more than one! But," Tian Lied thought for a while, "but none of them came out to watch the night with white clothes and red eyes." "Xinhan Murled!" the friend said casually. This became his nickname, a nickname that made him nod slightly when he heard it. A third-year university student, he is very conceited and serious. He needs a complete plan for everything, and he is always thinking about it.The more he loves to think about it, the more he feels that there should be a way for everything, and any way—after thinking about it carefully—is not suitable for his ideal.Therefore, he is very willing to listen to other people's opinions, but other people's opinions are so unwise, listening to them is not only useless, but also confusing him, making him think again along his own train of thought, Only then can you see the elusive scene, like developing a photo in a dark room. 所以他觉得自己非常的可爱,也很可怜。他常常对着镜子看自己,长瘦的脸,脑门很长很白。眼睛带着点倦意。嘴大唇薄,能并成一条长线。稀稀的黑长发往后拢着。他觉得自己的相貌入格,不是普通的俊美。 有了这个肯定的认识,所以洋服穿得很讲究,在意。凡是属于他的都值得在心,这样才能使内外一致,保持住自己的优越与庄严。 可是看看脸,看看衣服,并不能完全使他心中平静。面貌服装即使是没什么可指摘的了,他的思想可是时时混乱,并不永远象衣服那样能整理得齐齐楚楚。这个,使他常想到自己象个极雅美的磁盆,盛着清水,可是只养着一些浮萍与几团绒似的绿苔!自负有自知之明,这点点缺欠正足以使他越发自怜。 two 寒假前的考试刚完,他很累得慌,自己觉得象已放散了一天的香味的花,应当敛上了瓣休息会儿。他躺在了床上。 他本想出去看电影,可是躺在了床上。多数的电影片是那么无聊,他知道;但是有时候他想去看。看完,他觉得看电影的好处只是为证明自己的批评能力,几乎没有一片能使他满意的。他不明白为什么一般人那样爱看电影。及至自己也想去看去的时候,虽然自信自己的批评能力是超乎一般人的,可是究竟觉得有点不大是味儿,这使他非常的苦恼。“后悔”破坏了“享受”。 这次他决定不去。有许多的理由使他这样下了决心。其中的一个是父亲没有给他寄了钱来。他不愿承认这是个最重要的理由,可是他无法不去思索这点事儿。 二年没有回家了。前二年不愿回家的理由还可以适用于现在,可是今年父亲没有给寄来钱。这个小小的问题强迫着他去思索,仿佛一切的事都需要他的考虑,连几块钱也在内!回家不回呢? three 点上支香烟,顺着浮动的烟圈他看见些图画。 父亲,一个从四十到六十几乎没有什么变动的商人,老是圆头圆脸的,头剃得很光,不爱多说话,整个儿圆木头墩子似的! 田烈德不大喜欢这个老头子。绝对不是封建思想在他心中作祟,他以为;可是,可是,什么呢?什么使他不大爱父亲呢?客观的看去,父亲应当和平常一件东西似的,无所谓可爱与不可爱。那么,为什么不爱父亲呢?原因似乎有很多,可是不能都标上“客观的”签儿。 是的,想到父亲就没法不想到钱,没法不想到父亲的买卖。他想起来:兴隆南号,兴隆北号,两个果店;北市有个栈房;家中有五间冰窖。他也看见家里,顶难堪的家里,一家大小终年在那儿剥皮:花生,胡桃,榛子,甚至于山楂,都得剥皮。老的小的,姑娘媳妇,一天到晚不识闲,老剥老挑老煮。赶到预备年货的时节就更了不得,山楂酪,炒红果,山楂糕,~X桲,玫瑰枣,都得煮,拌,大量的加糖。人人的手是黏的,人人的手红得和胡萝卜一样。到处是糊糖味,酸甜之中带着点象烫糊了的牛乳味,使人恶心。 为什么老头子不找几个伙计作这些,而必定拿一家子人的苦力呢?田烈德痛快了些,因为得到父亲一个罪案——一定不是专为父亲卖果子而小看父亲。 更讨厌的是收蒜苗的时候:五月节后,蒜苗臭了街,老头子一收就上万斤,另为它们开了一座窖。天上地下全是蒜苗,全世界是辣蒿蒿的蒜味。一家大小都得动手,大捆儿改小捆儿,老的烂的都得往外剔,然后从新编辫儿。剔出来的搬到厨房,早顿接着晚顿老吃炒蒜苗,能继续的吃一个星期,和猪一样。 五月收好,十二月开窖,蒜苗还是那么绿,拿出去当鲜货卖。钱确是能赚不少,可是一家子人都成了猪。能不能再体面一些赚钱呢? Four 把烟头扔掉,他不愿再想这个。可是,象夏日天上的浮云,自自然然的会集聚到一处,成些图画,他仿佛无法阻止住心中的活动。他刚放下家庭与蒜苗,北市的栈房又浮现在眼前。在北市的西头,两扇大黑门,门的下半截老挂着些马粪。门道非常的脏,车马出入使地上的土松得能陷脚;时常由蹄印作成个小湖,蓄着一汪草黄色的马尿。院里堆满了荆篓席筐与麻袋,骡马小驴低头吃着草料。马粪与果子的香气调成一种沉重的味道,挂在鼻上不容易消失。带着气瘰脖的北山客,精明而话多的西山客,都拐着点腿出来进去,说话的声音很高,特别在驴叫的时候,驴叫人嚷,车马出入,栈里永远充满了声音;在上市的时候,栈里与市上的喧哗就打成一片。 每一张图画都含着过去的甜蜜,可是田烈德不想只惆怅的感叹,他要给这些景象加以解释。他想起来,客人住栈,驴马的草料,和用一领破席遮盖果筐,都须出钱。果客们必须付这些钱,而父亲的货是直接卸到家里的窖中;他的栈房是一笔生意,他自己的货又无须下栈,无怪他能以多为胜的贱卖一些,而把别家果店挤得走投无路。 父亲的货不从果客手中买,他直接的包山。田烈德记得和父亲去看山园。总是在果木开花的时节吧,他们上山。远远的就看见满山腰都是花,象青山上横着条绣带。花林中什么声音也没有,除了蜜蜂飞动的轻响。小风吹过来,一阵阵清香象花海的香浪。最好看的是走到小山顶上,看到后面更高的山。两山之间无疑的有几片果园,分散在绿田之间。低处绿田,高处白花,至高处黄绿的春峰,倚着深蓝的晴天。山溪中的短藻与小鱼,与溪边的白羊,更觉可爱,他还记得小山羊那种娇细可怜的啼声。 可是父亲似乎没觉到这花与色的世界有什么美好。他嘴中自言自语的老在计算,而后到处与园主们死命的争竞。他们住在山上等着花谢,处处落花,舞乱了春山。父亲在这时节,必强迫着园主承认春风太强,果子必定受伤,必定招虫。有这个借口,才讲定价钱;价钱讲好,园主还得答应种种罚款:迟交果子,虫伤,雹伤,水锈,都得罚款。四六成交账,园主答应了一切条件,父亲才交四成账。这个定钱是庄家们半年的过活,没它就没法活到果子成熟的时期。为顾眼前,他们什么条件也得答应;明知道条件的严苛使他们将永成为父亲的奴隶。交货时的六成账,有种种罚项在那儿等着,他们永不能照数得到;他们没法不预支第二年的定银……父亲收了货,等行市;年底下“看起”是无可疑的,他自己有窖。他是干鲜果行中的一霸!
