"... After my seclusion is over and I return to Liangshan, I want to establish a correct direction in life for a few children, encourage them to love life and keep fit, so let's tell them some stories about martial arts... Then
In this matter, I am relatively low-key and cannot say that I am myself, so I usually make up a few powerful names..."
The gentle light path spreads, and several figures walk on the city wall, listening to the ins and outs of certain things in the warm night wind.
"Well, for those who come out to mess around, of course their names should be more domineering. If there is Dongfang Bubai, it sounds very powerful... Dongfang Bubai's younger brother, Dongfang Bubai, is a supporting role, he is not important... There is also Dugu, who is self-centered and self-centered.
I mean, this name is not bad, I like it very much... And among the three great masters in the world, there is one... named Long Aotian..."
Ning Yi, who was wearing a handsome coat, reached out and tapped the newsprint in his wife's hand as he walked. Su Taner knew that something was not right when she saw him talking at length and full of idioms. At this time, the expression on his face had changed several times, and then
He opened the newsprint with the reward written on it and looked at it.
"So... in those powerful martial arts stories that my husband told you... this Long Aotian... the nickname of Long Aotian, the third master in the world, is... the five-foot demon? How do you tell your children this...
"
"He is the number one master in the world." Ning Yi rubbed his forehead, "The tragedy is that the number one master in the world cannot be called the Five-foot Demon. How could I tell a bunch of kids that the number one master in the world is called the Demon. No.
First, the best player in the world cannot be called the Y-Devil, and secondly, it is impossible for me to tell my children about the Y-Devil—Tan'er, what's wrong with your thinking..."
He turned to look at his wife, who was looking at him in a funny and annoyed way, and then received a punch on his hand.
"Alas..." Ning Yi sighed.
Tan'er on the side also rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly: "So this is the reputation he has earned by himself. The second brother... well, this matter must be kept secret. Xiaochan cannot know about it. I won't let Xiaochan know about it.
It's better than you... Fortunately, he used a pseudonym..."
"It's useless to use pseudonyms. Xi'er, Xiaohe, Wenwen, Xiaoke, Shuang, Ning... everyone knows Long Aotian's name. Hei Niu and the rest of the children have also heard of it... careless
Well, I think this child will die in society when he comes back... Alas, I was a demon in my heart, and gave birth to a child named Y-Demon... There were also groups of people behind the bounty, and the five-foot Y-Demon also had a friend named Four-foot Y.
Demons, crazy people, this little monk, so lacking in virtue..."
Tan'er suppressed a smile, and couldn't help but hit Ning Yi twice as her expression changed. She has been working as the head of the house in these years, and she has been calm and dignified. Even in front of Ning Yi, there are rare times when she can't help but fight and make trouble.
But then he frowned again.
"Then what should we do... This kid, Xiaoji, why do you think he made such a fuss... It must be a misunderstanding..."
"Who knows? Qian Laoba and the others haven't come back yet, and the whole story is unclear. But people's hearts are filled with evil spirits, and it might not be a misunderstanding. After being played by that bitch Yu Xiaoer, he learned from the experience and decided to take revenge on all the women in the world.
After leaving school, through unremitting efforts, I gained a huge reputation... You see, I also took in a younger brother, I must really admire him..."
"That's weird. If that were the case, Master Ba and the others wouldn't have sent back these pieces of paper without beginning or end. This is a big deal, what will Xiaochan do..."
"What can I do, young man? I'm three thousand miles away. It's better to make a joke than to be killed."
The moon and stars were sparse in the night, and the night breeze was blowing on the city wall surrounded by lights. As the two of them walked, Tan'er read the newsprint several times. Then she looked at her husband beside her: "You look quite happy.
"
Ning Yi smiled slightly: "The world is vast and full of wonderful things. He is young and has traveled three thousand miles to visit his parents' hometown. To gain such a reputation, he must have experienced a lot of crazy things.
, have you ever thought about what Jiangning he saw was like? Are some of our things still in the Su Family Courtyard... Also, I heard that this time in Jiangning, Chen Fan went over to meet Lin Echan
There was a fight between the two parties to collect debts. It was the ultimate showdown. I wish I could be there in person and fight with my own hands."
He was in a cheerful mood, and Tan'er also smiled: "I think Master Ning, please stop causing trouble. If you join forces with Chen Fan, we will be defeated."
"What does it mean to join forces with Chen Fan? Who is he and who am I? I must have brought my followers with me..."
"One of the followers' surnames is Lu and the other is Liu, right?"
"Well, let them strike and chop that damn fat man to death."
He said this and looked out of the city: "Well, this is a scenery that only young people can have. It's not like us now, where we have meetings every day, or a group of people of this kind and that come to intercede and ask for you with sincere words.
"Withdrawing one's life, each one of them is not exciting enough, and it is far worse than Zuo Duanyou. I think these great scholars are not as good as each other..."
In front of the closest family members, it was not the first time that he lamented "I have been in a cage for a long time and cannot be free." Su Tan'er was aroused by his words and looked outside the city and recalled Jiang Ning for a moment.
He looked at the scenery, then tilted his head and said: "People in Zhang Village are also in a state of confusion. Some ladies from the military and various departments came to visit in turn to establish friendship, and then asked about the land reform. Let me see.
, everyone can imagine how great their interests will be if the land is taken back to the country. Moreover, how much money will we have to pay to buy all the land through peaceful redemption? The tricks and advantages that can be taken advantage of in the middle are not
One point or two points, including the negotiation process in between, will not go smoothly."
She paused, then smiled: "Of course, some sisters are more ruthless and ask why they don't promote the killing of landlords like Jiangnan, and then we can bring order to the chaos. I remember you mentioned this method before."
"The conference as a whole tends to advance this matter in a peaceful way." Ning Yi tilted his head and whispered, "Essentially, this is because the concept of equality has not become the main spiritual axis of the Chinese Army.
In the past, the order was first the word "huaxia" corresponding to revenge and resistance to gold, then the corresponding development of "gewu", and then the people's livelihood, civil rights, people's wisdom and the corresponding equality, but to be honest, whether there can be true equality, many people are criminals
Muttering, even including me, I don’t have enough confidence.”
Tan'er turned to look at him, then hooked his finger: "Well... I think it's okay to take it slow..."
"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded unclearly, "We have only been beaten for more than ten years. Many people believe that the old methods in the past were good, including today's Chengdu. Everyone sees its development and prosperity and is unwilling to
If we make more troubles and mobilize the Chinese Army to promote an out-of-control land equalization campaign from the bottom, we no longer have this option. If I do this forcefully, the Chinese Army may disintegrate internally."
Su Tan'er nodded: "When I talked about it in the past, I thought you wanted to use this method more. I don't quite understand it, but if you do it, I will support it."
"I have some strange obsessions." Ning Yi smiled, "But things will always change during the movement. As far as the situation of the Chinese Army is concerned, the most convenient way to implement this kind of thing is to directly instigate it when fighting out of Liangshan.
The entire Chengdu Plain is to divide the land among local tycoons, and here we have a basic base of more than 100,000 and 200,000 yuan. We can gradually clean up the mess in the entire area. In short, we are replicating the situation in Jiangnan today. The only difference is
Yes, we have ensured internal purity and can digest others step by step, while He Wen's internal purity is worrying..."
He took his wife's hand and turned around.
"...But in this way, the process of unifying the Chengdu Plain will be greatly prolonged, and the resistance of the landlords here will intensify. And in the future, our work focus can basically only be on purging and guiding the peasant movement, and the development of Gewu
It will lag behind...and there were two important considerations at that time..."
"First, at the current social level, everyone can understand the prosperity after the development of Gewu, but the thinking and desire for equality are not that common, and there is no rational accumulation at the ideological level... And the second
The point to consider is that if the development of Gewu studies does not form a large scale and does not find practical, long-term development possibilities, then the enlightenment of the people is likely to be an empty talk. Confucianism was actually radical and heroic during the Confucius period. He wanted to use
Several generations of people have worked hard to make the world unified, but later people found that it was not possible, so they made it impossible for the people to know it and made it impossible to make it known. In fact, if there is no possibility of great material development, this is actually a very scientific thing.
A way to deal with it.”
"No matter what, we have made a choice..."
In the night, Ning Yi's words were calm, more like self-reflection and summary made in private when no one was around. Su Tan'er listened quietly. This is a scene that occasionally appears in Zhang Village. Ning Yi is used to it.
When sorting out her thoughts in front of a few close people, Tan'er can understand a little bit, but most of the time, she is not as keen to participate in discussions as Xigua.
It was normal at this time. She shook Ning Yi's hand and said, "Are you sure you are saying this?"
"Ah, we can do it."
Ning Yi looked towards Chengdu.
The possibilities of the Industrial Revolution have begun to take root.
With this result in mind, what else can’t you try?
In the cool night breeze, the couple walked hand in hand, and then talked about some trivial household matters. Tan'er talked about the homework of several children, and then talked about Ning Ji's problem.
They descended from the city wall and got on the carriage. The carriage gradually drove into the tree-shaded streets and walked forward. The people who were originally looking at the scenery gradually turned into the scenery in the eyes of others.
This is the night in Chengdu when land reform has entered the countdown.
Standing up from his seat, the meal at "Yingzhou" had come to an end. A group of people came downstairs shouting and shouting. Lin Qiu put his arm around the shoulders of the leader surnamed Chen.
"Brother Chen, really, don't act rashly. The boss is keeping an eye on this matter. Anyone who goes against the boss will not end well. Back in Shiling, Wanyan Zonghan and Gao Qingyi were scolded like a grandson in front of him.
You still have to say thank you when your son was killed, but I was there. My brother saved your life, saved your life..."
As he walked away, he patted the other person's chest: "But, if you take it back, you will always let it out. How do you divide it? You have a younger brother to help you keep an eye on it. Are you afraid there will be no benefit? I'm afraid you won't have money by then... So...
, Brother Chen, the development here depends on you. The current strategy from above is to stimulate domestic demand. What is domestic demand? You bring in more people from outside. After they come in, they want to live in houses, they want to marry wives, they want to study, and they want
They need to eat, drink, and have sex for domestic needs. They need to recruit more people, recruit more people, more people are more powerful, and more people consume enough. This is what the boss said. When did the boss miss it? When did you say the boss missed it...
"
The businessman surnamed Chen echoed with a smile. Lin Qiu asked twice, but received no answer. He waved to the side: "Old Tan, Old Tan, tell me, when did the boss miss it?"
"...Huh?" The fat man named Lao Tan blinked.
"Tell me, when did the boss miss it? Tell me..."
"Boss is right!" The businessman surnamed Chen who was being hugged quickly came to the rescue, "How could the boss be wrong, right? But Lin Chu, it is getting harder and harder to accept people from outside now. Your policies are so
It’s a lot, and the benefits are high. We also have to arrange for children to go to school, as well as physical examinations and accommodation, so we have to invest a lot..."
"What's the big investment? You cry poverty in front of me. Are you spending your money? It's written in black and white. People borrowed money from you and you have to work to repay it. The wool comes from the sheep. The more they borrow, the more money they borrow."
Do you want to do things? The more I help you do, the more you will make money. You see, if they borrow more, they will spend more, and then they will also do it, and everyone will benefit. Isn’t this a win-win-win-win? This is human rights!" He said
He turned to look at the crowd, "Do you understand this is human rights?"
Everyone replied in confusion.
Lin Qiu waved his hand: "Human rights are a good thing. If we don't talk about human rights, why would the country take over land? If the country doesn't take over land, what good will it do to you in the future? Ah? If there are no human rights, why should they lend you so much money? No borrowing
You have so much money, why do people have to work hard to pay off debts? You, white-eyed wolves, don’t understand the painstaking efforts of the boss... You have to take a long-term view. In the long-term, you should take a long-term view! Do you understand?"
Smelling of alcohol.
"...So, hire more people, do more work, make more money, and then hire people after you have made money. Who is difficult to recruit? Don't fool me. What are you doing outside? They are all fighting. Liu Guangshi is fighting
Zou Xu, there is internal strife in the Fair Party, Wu Qimei and Tieyan are about to die, and the small court in the southeast is in mourning. Old Chen, Old Tan, is that a place for people? No, people in troubled times are just animals, who doesn't want to come to us.
Lao Tan, tell me, who doesn’t want to come to our place?”
"——I want to do both." Lao Tan quickly replied.
"That's right. Everyone wants to come to us, so what's not easy about recruiting people? Don't complain to me. People in the Chinese Army never complain about being tired. The Chinese Army endures hardships and stands hard, and works overtime... By the way, Lao Tan
Lao Chen, last time I got so many orders for you, why were you so procrastinating? The man named Long told me yesterday, please hurry up and don’t let me lose face... I think you are the only ones who don’t endure hardships.
Hardworking..."
The scene of parting was full of excitement. When Lin Qiu slowly arrived in the yard, someone brought a red sandalwood carved food box over. The old Chen said: "I'm just chatting with Lin Qiu during the meal. How about you?"
I haven't even eaten a few bites, so I asked the chef to make a meal, which is all the tofu you like. Lao Tan, come here, let's send it back to Lin Chu."
At this time, the carriage had also driven in. Lin Qiu waved his hand: "What are you giving me? My home is not far from here. Give me something to eat and I will walk back and do some exercise."
"Lin Chu is drunk..."
"I've been drinking. I just haven't had a few sips. Okay, give me the box. Don't chatter...it's just a few steps."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted his head hard a few times, and then went to grab the box. When he got the box, it was quite heavy, but he immediately moved it up and down without changing his expression: "Just right, it's pretty handy, okay.
, no need to give it away!”
Showing off his domineering officialdom, a group of people failed to keep him. After a while, he carried the box out of the side door of "Yingzhou" and walked slowly along the tree-lined street. The influence of the wine made him
Feeling dizzy, the exaggerated majesty in his eyes faded and became calm.
After a few months of drinking, his health got worse. Realizing this, he used his left and right hands to lift and put down the food box alternately, and exercised. There were pedestrians walking on the road beside him, and the jingling of carriages and horse belts
Driving past with orange lanterns and the peaceful night scene, he recalled the scene in the Secretariat studio in the past. At that time, He Deng was very young, and Ning Yi was very self-disciplined. He got up every morning to box, and everyone followed suit.
Today, the body is not out of shape, but the flesh has obviously become looser.
The land reform was about to begin, and countless ants were moved by the news, but he didn't want the people around him to die in this wave. He still let them do many dirty things. If he made money from buying and selling land, who would squeeze those outsiders?
Prostitute?
The recent dinner party turned out to be a good thing to save people.
Walking to the small river not far from home, the night wind blew his head gradually soberly. He stood there and blew the wind for a moment. At the other end of the field of vision, Xu Shaoyuan, who he had worked with before, was leading another young man
The soldier came over.
"Lin Chu, why are you thinking about life here? You smell like alcohol."
"Xu Gong, are you taking a walk?"
"I just came back from a meeting." Xu Shaoyuan was called "Xu Gong" not in a serious way. It was a nickname he got after he was tall and handsome and was often teased about "Who is more beautiful, me or Xu Gong in the north of the city?"
At this time, he pointed to the young man beside him: "Fang Cheng from the working group, Fang Yuan Fang, sincere Cheng. Fang Cheng, Lin Qiu, is the one who told you that he had the honor to follow Mr. Ning and show off Wanyan Zonghan's power in Shiling."
, he now works in the Department of Commerce, and because he is a virgin, we usually call him Lin Chu."
"Yeah, I don't know who is a virgin. I've been there before Yong Jinrou got married."
Lin Qiu responded to the other party without changing his expression, smiled and shook hands with Fang Cheng, then pointed at Xu Shaoyuan: "He, with Mr. Ning's advice, still can't catch up with the woman he likes. Mr. Ning even invented an idiom based on him
, I was moved and refused. I was very moved, and then I rejected him - just him."
"Ah, our team leader..." The young man named Fang Cheng was very interested for a moment.
Xu Shaoyuan slapped him back: "Stop talking to this guy about anything. Do you also want to be a virgin?"
Lin Qiu showed a victorious smile, and then said: "Okay, I won't bear with you. Do you want to eat? I have tofu here."
"Lin Chu is very simple, that's fine."
Xu Shaoyuan smiled, and the two of them walked to the bluestone bench beside the river. When he turned around to call Fang Cheng, the young man said that he would not eat and stayed there to wait. Opening the food box, the three-layered box was indeed filled with food.
There were several stacks of dishes, mainly tofu, but there was only one pair of chopsticks. Lin Qiu broke the two chopsticks in the middle, and the two of them sat there and tasted the dishes. Xu Shaoyuan liked it very much, but Lin Qiu was tired of it.
After taking a few bites, Lin Qiu said: "Speaking of which, I prefer to eat the Chenji Tofu and Stir-fried Pork with Dried Bean Curd at the restaurant outside the Hedeng Family Courtyard. Do you remember? They have a lot of meat."
"Then do you like to eat meat or tofu?"
"I do not know……"
"And the meat at Chen Kee's place isn't much, it's just a little bit every time. You see, the meat in a bowl of his dish is not as much stuffed as the stuffed rice in your Yong Tau Foo... Well, it's delicious.
, this chef has a special skill."
"If it tastes good, just eat more."
"It goes without saying that you have some food left over, so don't eat it. The rest is all mine."
Under the cool night breeze, on the stone bench by the river, Xu Shaoyuan devoured his food. Lin Qiu actually laughed: "Xu Gong paid attention to his image. He looked like a starving ghost reincarnated. When people saw it, they thought the Chinese army was short of food."
"I was so moved that I refused. What kind of image do you want? You, on the other hand, were promoted and promoted. This year...in May, didn't I hear that you proposed to a girl? Well...the Zuo family stayed here.
There is a girl named Zuo Jing, right? She is beautiful and outstanding. In July, you canceled the engagement again. As her name suggests, she was very calm and did not beat you, but what happened to you? Do you really want to keep Lin Chu?
What about this title? Or is it that the flowers are becoming more and more charming and you have other partners? "
When Xu Shaoyuan talked about this, Lin Qiu looked forward calmly. After a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and said slowly: "I... suddenly discovered something."
Xu Shaoyuan stuffed Yong Tau Fu into his mouth: "What?"
Lin Qiu's voice was even lower and he spoke every word: Xu Shaoyuan leaned over and heard him say: "...it's better to be a man."
Xu Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, then agreed happily: "I feel the same way."
"It's a pity that you are so ugly..."
"You're a little short..."
The people around Ning Yi were never afraid of any unfashionable jokes. The two were disgusted with each other, and then they both laughed angrily. After a while, Xu Shaoyuan finished all the food, burped, and put his chopsticks in the box.
Knocked on it.
"After the Chinese army entered Chengdu, the stalls became bigger. Everyone has his own place to go. Sometimes, we can't see each other, and we don't know what you are busy with. But my brother has something to teach you."
"Brother, tell me."
"Although tofu is delicious, you can't make all the tofu in a box. Look, you have eaten the accumulated food. Without me today, you have wasted it. So people, whatever you do that makes you happy, you have to be in moderation. No
There are bound to be problems with rules and regulations."
He said, putting the chopsticks back in the food box.
Lin Qiu smiled: "I understand, Mr. Xu still loves and protects me."
"Xu Gong doesn't love you, Xu Gong's heart is already broken."
The two of them sat there, looking at the moon in the sky. After a while, Xu Shaoyuan stood up, and Lin Qiu also stood up and said, "When will the land reform start? Are you going to set off?"
"Preliminary publicity is already underway. We have just held the last meeting. We will all set off tomorrow morning." Xu Shaoyuan pointed to the sky, "Countdown to land reform..."
He paused.
"...Five hours."
"Take care of yourself."
Lin Qiu salutes.
Xu Shaoyuan also saluted, then stretched out his hand, patted the other person's shoulder, and smiled.
"One day, when the revolution is successful, I will drink with you."
This is what many people in the Chinese army learned from Ning Yi. Some of them understand its meaning, and some do not, but no matter what, this is the most solemn agreement.
…
The stars and moon flowed. After a while, Xu Shaoyuan and Fang Cheng left the river caressed by the night wind.
Lin Qiu carried the rosewood food box back to the courtyard where he lived. He packed up the dishes in the box, split the wooden box, and threw the gold bars in the mezzanine into the cluttered warehouse. After sobering up with a hot towel
, and sat quietly in the yard for a long time.
Just before going to bed, I remembered that I should exercise and gave myself a slap in the face.
