"Mingzhe, is White Ya Mountain really as good as you say?"
Why did Zhou Bingyi listen to Su Mingzhe praising his life as an educated youth? It was a bit like a grandma Wang selling melons and bragging about herself.
"Without investigation, you have no right to speak. I welcome you to visit White Tooth Mountain for inspection."
Su Mingzhe suddenly became serious and changed the subject:
"Bingyi, Dongmei, I think we thought about the problem from the wrong angle before."
"What's the wrong perspective on the problem?"
As the soul of the former small team, Zhou Bingyi was basically "superhuman" in terms of ideology and philosophical and logical thinking.
Now, Su Mingzhe has only been an educated youth for three months. When he comes back, he says that he was wrong and that he must have a good fight with Su Mingzhe.
Of course, this was also the habitual way of communication among several people in the past.
"If I just talk about the truth, it may not be clear."
Su Mingzhe smiled slightly:
"Why don't I tell you two short stories? Listen to them and think about them for yourselves."
Hearing the story, Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingkun also gathered around and looked at Su Mingzhe with blinking eyes.
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei also pretended to be listening.
"The first story is called 'The Switchman's Choice'."
"This story comes from Germany. It is said that there is a fast-moving train on the railway. It is about to pass through the section maintained by 'Gref'. At this time, on the path that the train must pass, there are five playful children on the track.
While playing on the train, Gref shouted loudly to the five children, asking them to get off the track quickly, but the sound of the train covered up Gref's voice, and the five playful children did not notice the danger at all. Gref's voice was covered by the sound of the train.
When the husband saw this, he wanted to move the track to the abandoned track on the other side. At this time, he discovered that there was also a child on the abandoned track... Excuse me, if you are Gref, are you watching the train crash?
Should five playful children die, or should a train hit and kill that innocent child?"
There are five children on one side and one child on the other.
This question seems to be asking about the value of five children being greater than one child.
However, there is a moral issue here, that is, why should an innocent child bear the suffering that should have been endured by five playful children?
Isn't this unfair to that innocent child?
Zhou Bingyi, Hao Dongmei and Zhou Rong were all thinking carefully.
Only Zhou Bingkun was a little simple-minded and quickly answered:
"I should save those five children. If I were that child, I would be willing to sacrifice myself to save the other five children."
After Su Mingzhe glanced at him, he smiled and said:
"I'm not asking, 'If you were that kid, what would you choose?', but I'm asking you, 'If you were a switchman, what would you choose?'"
When Zhou Bingkun was asked this question by Su Mingzhe, his mind was a bit like a lake, and he looked at his brother and sister in confusion.
Zhou Bingyi raised his head, stared at Su Mingzhe, and spoke slowly:
"Tell me the second story."
Su Mingzhe smiled calmly again and began to tell the second story.
"The second story is called four soldiers and a child."
"I can't remember the origin of the story. It happened on the Yellow River or the canal. One year, the temperature dropped sharply and the river froze. A playful child was playing in the ice on the river and accidentally fell into a hole in the ice. There was
Eight soldiers from a squad jumped into the river to save others. However, due to the turbulent undercurrent and the rapidity of the river, four of the soldiers were swept away by the river and died in the end. The problem with this story is that if it happened again, you would be the squad leader of this squad.
, will you still order your comrades to save people?"
This second story is also about exchanging life for life.
However, there has been a change in identity.
In the first story, both parties are children.
The second story is about soldiers and children.
"If I were the squad leader, would I still give orders to save people?"
Zhou Bingyi's mind was a little confused, and the two stories before and after made him a little at a loss.
He is very smart, but that doesn't mean he has a mature way of thinking.
After all, before this, he had just graduated from high school and had not yet experienced any experience in society.
Zhou Bingkun looked at his elder brother who frowned and opened his mouth. He remembered that when he opened his mouth just now, he was rendered speechless by Su Mingzhe's words, and he did not dare to speak now.
Zhou Rong was not convinced and asked Su Mingzhe:
"Then tell me, what would you choose?"
Su Mingzhe glanced at Zhou Rong, and after intertwining with her stubborn eyes in the air, he looked at Hao Dongmei again:
"Dongmei, you actually know the answer to this question, right?"
"Yes, I know the answer."
Hao Dongmei's face suddenly became solemn when she was asked a question by name:
"The squad leader will definitely not hesitate to go to save that child with all the soldiers in the squad again."
When Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi heard the answer, they slowly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a knot in their hearts had been relieved.
Only Zhou Bingkun is still worried:
"Those are four warriors. Are they going to die in vain for a naughty child?"
"Because this is the bounden duty of a soldier!"
Hao Dongmei looked solemn. At this moment, she suddenly understood her parents.
She never understood why her parents would do so many great feats of self-sacrifice.
Now, she understands.
All because of my duty as a soldier.
Seeing everyone's expressions change, Su Mingzhe smiled and said:
"Bingyi, Dongmei, this is why what I said about 'thinking about the problem from a perspective' is wrong. In fact, from the moment we get our diploma, we are no longer students, but independent social beings. So,
We must also have our bounden duty as social beings.”
"A rational and mature social person must be worthy of society, the country, and the family."
"This is what I learned in the White Teeth."
At this moment, Zhou Bingyi felt like he was in a state of enlightenment. He was awakened by Su Mingzhe's phone call.
After Hao Dongmei sighed inwardly, she looked at her boyfriend with tender yet firm eyes:
"Bingyi, Mingzhe is right. We have long been an independent social being. We should not stay in the past and blind ourselves. I have decided to go to the street office next Monday to prepare for the educated youth going to the countryside."
"I don't want to run away anymore."
Zhou Bingyi had a look of embarrassment on his face: "However, my dad will go home to celebrate the New Year this year, so I want to wait until after the New Year to sign up."
"I'll also wait until my dad comes back before I leave."
Zhou Bingkun didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that he was affected by the atmosphere in the room, and his blood boiled all over.
Zhou Rong glared at her younger brother:
"Why are you going? How old are you? If you want to go, I'll go too!"
After the decision was made, everyone discussed it very enthusiastically.
At noon, Zhou's mother cooked a table of sumptuous dishes.
Had lunch.
Su Mingzhe also wanted to persuade a few people to follow him to White Ya Mountain, but there was another knock on the door of the Zhou family.
Zhou Bingkun hurriedly opened the door and saw a tall and thin man, who hurriedly welcomed him in:
"Sister, Brother Xiaoguang is here."
Brother Xiaoguang, whose name is Cai Xiaoguang, is also a student of high-ranking cadres. He is a classmate of Zhou Rong and just graduated this year.
After Cai Xiaoguang graduated, he came back to play with Zhou Rong as long as he had dinner in the afternoon.
As soon as he walked in, everyone's eyes were fixed on the bag he was holding.
"Xiaoguang, are you spending money on things again?"
"Auntie, I didn't buy anything, just a few bunches of candied haws and ice cream."
Cai Xiaoguang smiled and distributed the things in his hands to everyone.
Seeing this, Su Mingzhe hesitated for a moment and then said to his classmate:
"Bingyi, didn't you say before that Xiaorong has a stomach problem? This ice cream is so cold, so it's better not to let her eat it."
Before Zhou Bingyi said anything, Zhou Rong angrily picked up the ice cream and took a big bite:
"I can eat whatever I want, and I want you to take care of it!"
Zhou Bingyi looked helplessly at his classmates and said quietly:
"My sister has a very stubborn temper, and our whole family doesn't dare to speak against her."
"Aren't you spoiling her?"
Su Mingzhe wanted Zhou Rong to be his woman in the future, and wanted Zhou Rong to temper her temper, so she couldn't help but persuade her:
"Bingyi, when we were in school, we all studied the text "Touch the Dragon and Talk about the Queen Mother Zhao". Do you remember there is a sentence in it, 'Parents love their children, they have far-reaching plans.' Your father is not at home.
The eldest brother is the father. As the eldest brother, you should take responsibility, properly discipline your younger brothers and sisters, and train them to develop good living habits. Now you only know how to follow them and pamper them, but you have forgotten'
The way of spoiling a child is like killing one's own child, and 'to spoil one's child is like killing one's own child'."
After being educated by Su Mingzhe, Zhou Bingyi suddenly looked ashamed. He glanced at his sister and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak. After all, the habit he had developed over the years caused him to actually not behave in front of his sister Zhou Rong.
Too much dignity as an older brother.
Hao Dongmei also knew about the situation of the Zhou brothers and sisters, felt sorry for her boyfriend, and quickly said:
"Mingzhe, Zhou Rong is actually quite sensible. She only has one hobby: eating ice cream..."
Zhou Rong saw that her eldest brother was speechless by Su Mingzhe, but her future sister-in-law Hao Dongmei next to her actually explained to Su Mingzhe in a low voice, and she suddenly became furious.
But before she could reply, Cai Xiaoguang, who was next to her, looked embarrassed and admitted her mistake:
"Brother Su, it's my fault. I knew Zhou Rong likes to eat ice cream, so I wanted to please her. Brother Bingyi didn't stop him because I bought the ice cream. This is all my fault. I'll reflect on it."
…”
"You just need to reflect on it."
After listening to Cai Xiaoguang's words, Su Mingzhe directed the topic to him:
"Zhou Rong's stubborn temper, in addition to the pampering and pampering of her family, there are also suitors like you outside who continue to flatter her, making her unable to see what the reality of this world is. Everything is heading towards
When you imagine the bright side, you cannot see the abyss ahead or the traps in life..."
"You've had enough!"
Zhou Rong finally couldn't listen anymore.
She also didn't expect that her eldest brother, a classmate, was not polite at all. He came to her home as a guest and just criticized her eldest brother. He even scolded her friends without saving any face for herself.
When Su Mingzhe saw that Zhou Rong was angry, he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he smiled at Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei and said:
"Let me tell you the third story again. This story is called "Qu Tu Migration"..."
