After returning to the urban area of Huaidong, Long Ruohai met Ye Chanjuan. He learned from the slightly haggard Chanjuan that the reason why the elders of the Ye family opposed the marriage was actually because of his career as a police officer. This made him feel very sad.
Feeling a little helpless.
It is impossible for a commoner like me, who has no roots and no ambitions, to be able to adjust his career as he pleases like those children of powerful people. Those people can join the army, join the sea, and become leading cadres. I am afraid that this is what I will do in my life.
Being a police officer.
This profession is indeed not that good. The pay is low, promotion is slow, and the dangers are great. If something goes wrong, people are always being thrown out as scapegoats. Take a good look at the things that make the police have a bad image in society. Except for a few
In addition to the poor quality of the police themselves, quite a few things are caused by helping others to shoulder the responsibility.
It's not enough to take the blame. In the end, you will be looked down upon by others. What can be done? You can't just change the job halfway just to get a wife! So what can you do if you change the job? Without external force, it is empty talk.
The next morning, Long Ruohai ignored Chanjuan's persuasion and put on the new police uniform that had just been issued. He had to rely on others to wear any clothes. Long Ruohai, who was already tall and strong, put on a well-fitting police uniform.
, of course it looks more masculine yet elegant.
When they saw Long Ruohai in person, several old people immediately had questions in their minds. Because in their minds, the image of a policeman was either like a tall and thick man, or his waist was thicker than a bucket.
The young man in front of them is not handsome, but he has a manly masculinity. It completely subverts their original understanding. We can't blame them for being ignorant, just because they are rarely interested in daily life.
Give the police a look.
You can tell at a glance that this kind of child is a man of his own opinion. With a sunny face, he is not comparable to the police on the street who only know how to bully ordinary people. It seems that Juan'er's introduction to this child is not complete.
It's an exaggeration.
When I saw Lu Guanggan personally accompanying him, I was even more surprised. The dignified detachment leader was willing to move his body and accompany his subordinates on a blind date. This in itself shows that the young man still has such a place in the leader's mind.
Before he could sit down, Long Ruohai followed Chanjuan's instructions and shouted 'Grandpa', 'Uncle' and 'Auntie' in a circle. The good thing about an intellectual is face. Since a leader accompanied him to the door, the young man was polite and of course he also had a smile.
Only Ye Chanjuan's aunt Ye Luolan greeted them, her face still disdainful and gloomy, and she sat there motionless.
After the two sat down, Chanjuan's mother brought the brewed tea. When the teacup was brought to Long Ruohai, he stood up immediately. After saying "Thank you, auntie," he took the teacup with both hands.
Such a simple gesture won high marks in the eyes of Chanjuan's mother.
For her daughter's marriage, she has also seen many young men. Some of them don't know politeness and are typical 'second generation ancestors'. Some of them are pretentious, without any masculinity, and there is no trace of sincerity. This child is different.
This kind of etiquette practice comes purely from nature.
"Old man, the weather has been a bit sultry recently." "Yeah. I can say it better. I rarely go out, but you guys are running around all day. Are you going to suffer?"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. The social security is pretty good recently, and there are no major cases to be handled. As for busy, the case of the 'rich club' a few days ago kept us busy for a while." "This case was handled well. Common people
They are all praising you policemen. They say they are not afraid of evil and are upright." "Haha, is it true? This case was sponsored by our Xiaolong."
After the two parties sat down, they chatted for a while. There was nothing serious about it, they just talked about climate change, social news and the like. Lu Guanggan was the best at these things, and the conversation was quite lively.
Aunt Ye Luolan, who was sitting aside, refused to agree. She wanted to get rid of the toad in front of her as soon as possible so as not to miss her important event. She had her own wishful thinking. If she could get the high status of deputy secretary of the municipal committee,
Your own income is not a dime a dozen.
Although others have said that the young master is a dandy who spends all his time looking for flowers and asking for help. So what can he do? Men, there is no one who doesn't like fish. As long as you secure your position as the young mistress of the secretary's family, you will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Of course, my husband will follow the rising tide and how many levels can he be promoted to? He must cut the knot quickly and cut off this relationship. Otherwise, once the relationship between the young man and woman heats up, there will be no reason to talk about it. If it is really a done deal, he will
No matter how hard you try to attack it, it's useless.
Thinking of this, she spoke up: "My surname is Long, let me ask you something. Why do you want to marry my Chanjuan?" This was really hard to comment on. She didn't use any honorifics and just called her.
People with the surname Long are indeed a bit of a common man.
Besides, how should people answer this question? Fortunately, she didn't intend to let Long Ruohai answer. She continued to ask directly: "Do you have a villa? Do you have a car? How much deposit do you have in the bank?"
Hearing such a series of questions, which were sent to him like cannonballs, Long Ruohai's brain was buzzing. The veins on his forehead were also popping up and beating non-stop. Fortunately, he
Thinking of the instructions from the detachment leader, I knew that I had to deal with it calmly no matter what, and I must not make Chanjuan sad.
Although the other party's words were hurtful and his tone was cold, he still stood up respectfully. He replied matter-of-factly: "Auntie, I don't have all the things you said. I can't give her glory and wealth."
"Then why do you marry my Chanjuan?" "Because I love her, and I can bring happiness to Chanjuan through my own efforts."
As the questions and answers went back and forth, the expressions on the faces of other people present were very rich. Grandpa 'Old Master' and Chanjuan's father were very annoyed and glared at Ye Luolan in unison. Chanjuan was jumping anxiously in the kitchen.
.Mom couldn’t catch her quickly, she would have rushed out.
Lu Guanggan's face was not good-looking, and his brows were deeply wrinkled. Marriage is a matter negotiated by both parties on an equal footing, how could he speak in such a condescending manner. Although he was not optimistic about the success rate of this marriage, he was prepared to fail.
Mental preparation. As a detachment leader, I also come with the idea of adult beauty. But it does not mean that I have to accept the ridicule of others.
Because Ye Luolan disrupted the situation, it was a bit quiet for a while, and everyone didn't know what to talk about. Fortunately, Lu Guanggan was well-informed and had experienced a lot of various scenes. It was quickly established that he would not talk about it.
Thoughts on the sensitive topic of marriage. He laughed at first, then took the initiative and said in a casual way: "Old man, what knowledge are you studying recently?"
"Haha, I haven't studied anything. I just sorted out what I have studied before, and made some classifications and summaries of the rise and fall of China in history and the reasons for its current backwardness." Talking about his own knowledge is like scratching an itch and happened to scratch it.
When we got there, the old man was chatting and laughing.
"That's good, we Xiaolong are also history buffs, and sometimes we have a lot of opinions of our own. You two, old and young, can have a good exchange." Lu Guanggan pushed the boat along and pushed Long Ruohai out without losing any opportunity.
.
"Really? Tell me, what do you think of the rise and fall of our country in history?" Lu Guanggan's words were exactly what the old man wanted.
The first is that he wants to suit his interests and hopes that someone can discuss it with him. The second is that he also wants to test Long Ruohai's knowledge. If it is an embroidered pillow, he can also pass such a test and let the other party retreat before the difficulties.
The third is to avoid the embarrassment caused by his own daughter.
"I only know a little bit about it. Please tell me if I'm wrong." He usually reads a lot of books, which helped Long Ruohai a lot. In addition, he also knew the preferences of Grandpa 'Old Master' through Ye Chanjuan's mouth.
He had done enough homework beforehand. When the old man asked the question, he straightened his sitting posture and immediately started talking in a calm and generous manner.
He pursed his lips and continued: "China is an ancient civilization with a long history. It should have been one of the world's powerful countries. There are many reasons for falling behind, and I feel that these are the main ones.
The first is corruption. A high degree of corruption has led to serious unfairness in social distribution and serious polarization. The economy of the Song Dynasty was very developed, but it could not satisfy the plunder of corrupt officials. No matter how much wealth the Ming Dynasty had, they could not afford the descendants of the Zhu family.
squandering.
The final result is the intensification of class struggle, peasant uprisings, and feudal separatism. The final result of internal conflicts is that foreigners take advantage of the situation and replace advanced production relations with backward production relations."
"Well, that's interesting. Go on, young man. In the past, we only saw the end of a dynasty caused by decadence, but we didn't see the point that backwardness replaced advancement. Haha, the younger generations are to be feared, and the younger generations are to be feared."
No wonder Grandpa "Old Master" calls it so good. Long-term traditional education has said that it is the change of dynasties that promotes the development of history. But it turns a blind eye to this situation of backwardness replacing advanced ones.
"During the Tang and Song Dynasties, we were in a leading position in the world in all aspects. Since then, while other countries have made great strides towards modern civilization, our civilization has been regressing. Whether it is the replacement of the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty,
The change between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was not about advancement replacing backwardness, but the victory of ignorance over civilization.
Under the influence of backward production relations, our productivity has retreated instead of advancing. Foreigners have come to bully us, and even our neighbors have taken advantage of us. Under such circumstances, it is surprising that our national strength can be strong.
It's like two giants in the family are having a fight, only to be taken advantage of by a child next door who is still wetting the bed. Let a nation that is engaged in slash-and-burn farming manage progress and develop a nation.
The result?"
"Well, yes, yes. This concept is interesting." The 'Old Master' stroked his long beard a little emotionally, with a smile between his eyebrows. He said: "Drink a sip of tea, speak slowly, don't be anxious."
"There is also the arrogance of Yelang, who pretends to be a good man. Our nation always likes to be self-righteous. Throughout the dynasties, we have thought that we are a central country and others are barbarian lands. When envoys come, they also think that others are coming for pilgrimage. Even for * ***, let foreign businessmen pretend to be envoys, creating the illusion that all nations are coming to Korea.
Use silk and satin to pretend to be leaves on the tree, pretending to be rich, and give the pretended messenger ten or a hundred times the gift in return to satisfy the emperor's vanity. The direct consequence of this is that it wastes national power. It strengthens others and weakens oneself.
Even today, we are still doing this. We are still tightening our belts to support others for those inexplicable and false reputations. Those people eat our food, use our money, but scold us, and even beat us with the weapons we support. .
Even our history of becoming a subjugated slave has been boasted by some shameless literati as the pride of Genghis Khan and the rule of Kangxi and Qianlong. We have forgotten a "literary prison" that destroyed many national elites and set our civilization back for many years. "Having said this, Long Ruohai sighed, feeling a little downcast.
Long Ruohai's explanation could only be said to be a trick in front of two generations of Ye family scholars. He himself did not have much confidence in the outcome.
