At noon, Zi Nong had dinner at an Italian restaurant in Berlin, and no reporters were following him.
It has been more than half a month since I returned to Berlin. In the first few days after I came back, I was always surrounded by reporters squatting when I went out. Zi Nong was also puzzled, how did they persist in such a cold weather? Zi Nong did not deliberately avoid it.
, and did not deliberately pester him, but lived as usual, staying in the house when he should, and going out to eat when he should. In response to the reporter's pursuit, his response was to remain silent and let the reporter use all his tricks with just one sentence.
Let's not say anything. Just one day, two days, three days... reporters can't squeeze out anything of news value. Gradually, there are fewer reporters, and then there are none. If we say that in the first few days after the incident, he was still there.
If he is not used to it, then he has gradually adapted to it now. After all, he is mentally prepared for all this.
The restaurant is not big, but there are many customers. The restaurant, which is less than 1 square meter, is still a bit noisy. Zi Nong ordered a plate of pasta and ate alone at a table. Unknown to Zi Nong, a European man at the table next to him kept talking.
As I watched him, I must have recognized Zi Nong from the memory of the TV news. When this man and his girlfriend were leaving after dinner, the moment they passed by Zi Nong, the man suddenly stopped and wiped his mouth with his
He deliberately threw a wad of paper towels into Zi Nong's plate, then stared at Zi Nong with disdain and defiance, waiting for Zi Nong's reaction.
Ye Zi Nong looked up, calmly took away the ball of paper towels with his hands, and continued eating.
The man took his girlfriend away and before leaving, he said "garbage" in English instead of German.
After dinner, Ye Zi Nong drove home.
Since the reporters have all left, the area around the building where Zi Nong rented on Neussel Street has returned to its previous normalcy. There are not so many cars on both sides of the road in front of the building, and no one is watching. Zi Nong is driving there soon
When I was in my usual parking space, I suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the sidewalk. When I got closer, I saw clearly that the person was Lao Jiu.
After getting out of the car, Zizinong neither shook hands nor exchanged greetings with Lao Jiu, but said reproachfully: "Oh, Brother Jiu, you don't even look at what time it is; you're here at this time to make trouble, aren't you?"
Lao Jiu smiled and said, "When? I just want to see my friends, so I don't have to be sneaky."
Ye Zinong asked: "Have you eaten yet?"
Lao Jiu said: "I'm not in the mood to eat. What about you?"
Ye ZiNong said: "I just ate it."
Lao Jiu said: "No one answered the phone, I thought you just went to eat."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Then let's find a place to eat first."
Lao Jiu said: "I have something to do with you, and I'm really not in the mood to eat right now."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Then we have to eat. Let's not stand here stupidly; don't invite reporters again later."
Lao Jiu said: "Let's go upstairs and talk first."
The leaf farmer got Lao Jiu.
The house is still the same as before, no dirtier than before, and no cleaner than before; at least from the state of the house, we can't tell how much the recent events have affected Ye Zi Nong's life. Lao Jiu entered the house and put down his travels.
Bao took off his cotton-padded clothes and saw that there were leftover tea roots in the big teapot, so he picked up the teacup and went to the kitchen to dump it out. At this time, Ye Ye was preparing to boil water in the kitchen. He was afraid that Laojiu was not familiar with the procedure of pouring out leftover tea, so he took it over and used it.
Special small fences filter out the tea leaves so that the waterways will not be blocked.
The leaf farmer asked while working: "Why is it so important?"
Lao Jiu said: "Let's talk about some trivial matters first. Brandy came to see me; Lin Xuehong also came to see me."
Lao Jiu asked for love.
After hearing this, Ye Zi Nong said: "Tell Brandy: First, thank you. Second, this matter is over."
Lao Jiu said: "Brandy should have known what was going on as soon as the news came out, but he remained silent until George intervened. He did not react; he was pretending to be confused because he understood."
Ye Zinong said: "Brandy doesn't know the inside story; at most he is a little suspicious. If it was planned by the headquarters, does it make sense for him to report it? If it has nothing to do with the headquarters, what does he mean by reporting this? Even if I need his help; I
What does it have to do with Brandy? It’s far from being a double-edged sword, so why should we demand it?”
Lao Jiu said: "That's true. Then Lin Xuehong asked me to ask if she could come and see you. She said that if it weren't for her, you wouldn't be in this situation; she survived it."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Tell her: don't praise yourself so much, she doesn't have that much energy."
Lao Jiu was startled and said, "This is too hurtful."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Oh, then let her feel guilty all the time, then we will feel at ease?"
Lao Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, yeah, I understand."
After finishing the work, Ye Ye took out a bagged bun and two white spherical cream chocolates from the refrigerator. He cut the bread into two halves with a knife, stuffed the two cream chocolates inside, flattened them, and handed them over.
Lao Jiu said, "First two."
Lao Jiu took a bite and said with satisfaction: "You are really good at eating."
Ye Zi Nong said: "The chocolate was given by Dai Mengyan. Where can I buy such a thing?"
Lao Jiu smiled and said, "I want to say it but I dare not. Okay, you can get it for Sister Meng."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Hey, even if we don't overestimate ourselves, we are not so stupid that we dare to take advantage of Sister Meng. This time, Sister Meng made a mistake and mistook a piece of garbage for chocolate. What a look. We are at a banquet for a wealthy family.
Don’t get too close to those country bumpkins, it’ll be awkward even if you get together.”
Lao Jiuyi.
Lao Jiu finished the bun, washed his hands, and the two of them went to the living room. This time, Ye Zi Nong did not let Lao Jiu sit on the plastic stool, but gave Lao Jiu the wooden stool.
Ye Zinong asked: "What's the most important thing?"
Lao Jiu said: "You still ask me? Don't you know you are in danger now? Let's get to the bottom of it. I'm here to watch you go back to Beijing. If you don't leave, I will stay here with you. Hongchuan, I
I’ve already used it once, so I’m not surprised anymore.”
Ye Zi Nong said: "Brother Jiu, you miss me so much. I don't know what to say. Saying thank you is too frivolous... But you really shouldn't come at this time, especially if you want to do business in Beijing, you are talking to a traitor
What good results can come from being together? Brother Jiu, don’t think I’m being harsh, my affairs here are really not yours to worry about.” Lao Jiu said, “I want to wait until you are more glamorous to take advantage of you, is this a good idea? I
I know you're not a coward, but as the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his life. I'm here now. Let's get down as soon as there is a step. No one will call you a coward." Zizinong smiled and said: "Brother Jiu, we are not good men, no matter what
Whether it is a loss in the present or a loss in the future, as long as it is a loss that we should suffer, we will suffer it. Even if we are a coward, we have to be an innocent child, right? No one needs to step up the ladder."
Lao Jiu said: "If you are not a hero, and I don't care about cowards and cowards, then it doesn't matter. Get out of here as soon as possible."
Ye Zi Nong said: "I don't have to rush, I don't rush too late, just be normal. My residence permit is about to expire, and normally the government won't extend it. I will get out by then."
Lao Jiu asked in confusion: "Then what are you doing here? Who are you doing it with? Don't you know you are in danger? Why can't you understand this with such a good brain?"
Ye Zi Nong stopped talking, lit a cigarette and smoked quietly, thinking about something.
Lao Jiu was anxious and urged: "Speak."
At this time, the water in the kitchen was boiling, and there was a buzzing sound. Ye Zi Nong put most of his cigarettes next to the ashtray, but did not go to the kitchen. Instead, he went to the bedroom and took out two cigarettes from the drawer of the bedside table.
He handed a piece of paper to Lao Jiu before going to the kitchen.
When Lao Jiu saw it, he was shocked. It turned out to be Ye Ye Nong's will. The will was made in two copies, with the same contents. They were written in Chinese, English and German. Lao Jiu could not understand German, but he could understand both English and Chinese.
The will. The will is very short, and its content is:
If something happens to me, please don't leave ashes and ashes in the cemetery, just let me drift away. Please respect my wish, thank you!
On September 7, 1999, Berlin Yezi Nong went to the kitchen and brewed a large vat of jasmine tea, brought it to the living room, and poured two cups. This situation seemed familiar, almost a replica of the two chatting in a Beijing courtyard last fall, but at this time
But Lao Jiu didn't feel friendly at all.
Lao Jiu took the will and said angrily: "Are you stupid? Or are you just as brave as a man?"
Zi Nong picked up the half-burned cigarette from the ashtray and smoked it, then said: "I don't want to take it out. Isn't it because you have forced me to do nothing? This thing is just for emergencies."
Lao Jiu asked angrily: "But why are you doing this? Who are you following?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "It has nothing to do with anyone, and it doesn't matter for any reason. It's just a personal attitude. You tell Zhao Yiman: Stop fighting the Japanese, you will lose your life. You tell the corrupt officials: Stop being greedy, kill them
Is it useful? It’s useless. Everyone lives within their own values, and so do I. I only have this kind of virtue, and I can only live with this kind of virtue. I can’t help myself.”
Lao Jiu asked: "What is your virtue?"
Ye Zinong said: "I believe that people who agree with Marxism and people who do not agree with Marxism can walk freely on the streets of Berlin, because Marxism is not extremism, not terrorism, not distortion, or a cult.
Social science is the discovery and explanation of the laws of social development. It is the method of understanding things. It is about cause and effect and seeking truth from facts. If I have to be scared to shrink because I agree with Marxism, I will feel ashamed. This is not a fight against anyone, this is
It’s just my attitude towards this thing. If this attitude must be conditioned by paying for life, then just pay it. So, neither hurry nor hurry. Hurry, because I am intimidated by extremism and have this mentality.
How can we live a good life? Come on, we are deliberately looking for death. Why do we have to live with life? We are not looking for death or life, we are living a normal life. To put it more seriously,
We are neither living a good or a bad life, we are living a life that is possible under conditions, including the condition of values.”
Lao Jiu said: "Then the danger has not been ruled out."
Ye Zinong said: "I do not deny that there is a certain probability of danger, but don't exaggerate it. The number of human deaths from traffic accidents and bad habits is far greater than murder, and people will stop living? The danger does not come from democracy or patriotism, but from democracy and patriotism.
It comes from extremism under various beautiful banners. Whether it is democratic extremism or patriotic extremism, whether it is racial extremism or religious extremism, it is all extremism. Is extremism unique to Europe?
Isn't it right? Wherever there are people, there may be extreme people and extreme things."
Lao Jiu was silent. He couldn't deny Ye Zi Nong's point of view, so he couldn't convince Ye Zi Nong. Lao Jiu didn't know that Brandy once used a sentence to evaluate Ye Zi Nong: You are the smartest fool I have ever seen. But
At this moment, this was what he wanted to say in his heart. He felt a spirit and aura from Ye Zinong, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
Ye Zi Nong said: "Brother Ninth, if you insist on wasting, I can't drive you away, but there is no point in wasting. There must be at least respect between us. You are here, my heart is here, and my brother's heart is already warm.
"
Lao Jiu was silent for a long time, knowing that it was hopeless but unable to give up... finally said: "Okay, I'm leaving. You give me your notes to take away, and put them all in Beijing for safekeeping."
Zizinong smiled and said: "Brother Jiu, we have to understand one thing. We are spectators, not practitioners. It is easier to sit in the audience and make irresponsible remarks than to do it. Those notes are just the formation of personal understanding.
Process, a very personal thing, is not as important as you think."
Lao Jiu said: "I don't know whether it's important or not. I just want to leave a piece of evidence to prove who you are. You are not against democracy and you are not a traitor. You even wrote a will, so I won't be shy about anything. I am doing the same."
Be prepared just in case.”
Ye Zi Nong said: "Now is a sensitive period. It would be fine, but your area may be misunderstood by customs. As long as it is misunderstood, it will be amplified. When the media stirs it up, it becomes a political incident. You said you are helping me."
?
Or are you looking for trouble for me?
When Lao Jiu heard this, he was speechless. He could not completely rule out this possibility.
Zizinong thought for a while and said: "Originally, I resigned myself to fate. Now that Ninth Brother is here, please do me a favor."
Lao Jiu asked: "I'm busy"
Yizinong said: "I sent my things to Beijing and you go and pick them up. It's up to you how to keep them. I don't think the authorities will extend my residence permit anymore. It's normal to take care of my things in advance. It's okay if I mail my things."
, if you carry something with obvious political overtones about right and wrong figures alone, you may be in trouble." Lao Jiu nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense."
Ye Zi Nong said: "I want to be fine. These things are very important to me personally. This is our hobby. If something happens, these things will be dealt with by you. You can destroy them or keep them if you want, but there is a principle: you can't.
public."
Lao Jiu was puzzled and said: "Why can't it be made public? How can you prove yourself if you don't make it public? What a bad reputation it is for you to be a traitor and anti-democratic. How can you still carry a bad name if you don't have people?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Both public and private matters should not be disclosed to the public."
Lao Jiu said: "Both public and private matters should be made public."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Yu Gong said that after the minister incident, the man named Ye Ye Nong has become a theoretical expert. Experts are influential and cannot just say it like ordinary people. They must have some social responsibility.
The problem is that the words on those scraps of paper are only my personal understanding, or only what I can understand with my ability to understand. We can keep it to ourselves whether it is right or wrong, and will not hinder anyone. Once it is made public, it will be different.
It has some influence, but our point of view may not be right, or it may be right at a certain point, but it may be wrong when looking at the macroeconomic gains and losses. I still have the same point of view. It is better to sit in the audience and make irresponsible remarks.
Hard work is easy. You must know that most people's values are completed under the guidance of public opinion. It is impossible for everyone to have independent and sophisticated discernment capabilities. Since we have been labeled as experts, we cannot speak casually.
, we can neither interfere with the correct nor mislead those whose cognitive ability is worse than mine. This is the minimum social conscience of a person who can be called an expert. If I leave it to fate, then the things behind me are uncontrollable. I have no control.
Method. If your Ninth Brother is willing to help, then it is of a controllable nature and must be controlled. In this sense, it doesn’t matter whether I am notorious or not.”
Lao Jiu asked: "What about Yu Si?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Yu Private said, if you shake out these scraps of paper, it's okay if no one pays attention to it. Once someone pays attention to it, you will throw your brother into a circle of spears and swords. The angry youth will scold and those who object will scold, as long as they look at it."
You will scold anyone who disagrees with your opinions, but you say that I am gone and you still won’t let me be quiet.”
Lao Jiu was silent for a long time... Finally he picked up the will again and said, "You can either tear this up or rewrite it. It's not that I'm evil at heart, so you just wrote one line. Who are you writing it to?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Who should write such a violation of customs to? Whoever catches up gets it."
Lao Jiu said: "Even if something happens, you won't even leave a cemetery. How can you be so cruel?"
Ye Zinong smiled and said: "We are all very busy. It would be unreasonable not to come. Come on, what do you think is good? If you don't get a bouquet of flowers, I know you are thinking about me. How many years can you care about me? No one will do it in the future.
Never mind, I’m even more pitiable in this desolate state.”
The two were discussing the will and notes when they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
Yizinong walked over and picked up the microphone and asked in German: "Who is it?"
The visitor spoke pure Beijing dialect: "We are not reporters, we are from the Democratic Alliance, and we have something to do with you."
Ye Zi Nong replied in Mandarin: "There are guests at home, please wait for another day."
The visitor said: "We can wait below, just a few words."
Zi Zi Nong thought for a while and opened the unit door. After a while, as the footsteps coming up the stairs got closer and closer, Zi Zi Nong also opened the door and waited for the visitor.
Two people came, one was in his 40s, thin, and wore a pair of glasses. The other was in his 40s, had a stronger build, slightly darker skin, and also wore a pair of glasses.
The older man introduced him as soon as they met: "I am Zhang Libo, a university professor who worked in Beijing before. This is Zheng Nan, who was a junior in Beijing." Then he looked at Lao Jiu and asked, "This is
yes……"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Friend, I'm here to see the house."
Zhang Libo asked: "Do you want to deal with the house?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "The residence permit will expire in a few months. It's time to take care of it."
Chang Libo said: "If you can make a correct statement, I think the possibility of renewing the contract is still very high." Ye Zi Nong took out two plastic stools and put them on the table and said: "Sit down. What can I do for you?"
Zhang Libo glanced at the stool and said, "I'm not going to sit down anymore. Let's stand and talk, just a few words."
At this time, Zheng Nan said in a stern tone: "Hey, let me tell you, who do you think you are? Let the alliance apologize to you."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense from this moment on.
Ye Zi Nong looked at Zheng Nan and said, "If I have that power, it's not your turn to talk to me like this."
Zhang Libo said: "We are!" A peripheral organization of the Democratic Alliance, not representative of the "Alliance. We have opinions on your behavior and came to you specifically to argue with you. We want you to know that there are still people like us among Chinese abroad.
sound."
It turned out that these two people were not from the Democratic Alliance, but came knocking on the door under the banner of the alliance. This made Ye Ye Nong feel like he was being deceived, but he didn’t care and said: “Don’t praise an ant like that.
, all I can manage is my own business as an ant, I didn’t try to influence anyone, and I didn’t ask anyone to give me enlightenment.”
Zhang Libo said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. How about you, a theoretical expert? According to my research on the periodicity of regimes, the CCP regime has exhausted its power and will inevitably be replaced by a democratic system." Ye Zinong responded with one word:
"oh."
Zhang Libo said: "Democracy is a trend of historical development that cannot be stopped by any force."
Ye Zi Nong responded with another word: "Oh."
Zheng Nan interjected: "Don't you feel ashamed that the alliance is apologizing to you? Look at your motherland. Cheap praise, unjust clichés, moral decay, loss of faith, the combination of power and money, and corruption everywhere.
Powerful interest groups have become unscrupulous, social cells have become necrotic, China is heading for collapse, and our nation is hopeless."
Ye Zi Nong still responded with one word: "Oh."
Ye Zi Nong's "Oh" angered Zhang Libo and Zheng Nan. Zheng Nan said angrily: "What are you oh? Now you are pretending to be confused. The Alliance will not ask you to be a minister just because you know how to do it." Ye Zi
Nong also became angry and said: "Are you being reasonable? You want me to know your voice. I didn't ask you to know mine, right? I'm better behaved than a girl, and I'm more settled than an old man. I'm so fucking unreasonable."
Who have you provoked? I’m going to die!"
Zheng Nan said: "You can't do it even in the sun. You have provoked justice."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Whose justice? Is it justice that is illogical or justice that is dyed black in a vat?"
Zheng Nan said contemptuously: "Oh, oh, you are like a gentleman, you really think you are a good thing! You are the one who did the Budapest scam, right? All your brains are used to exploit loopholes in the law. You don't even know the Communist Party."
Liar, is a person like you worthy of studying Marxism? To put it bluntly, you are a ruffian."
Ye Zinong said: "Marx didn't stipulate that ruffians can't study his theory, right? I'm my ruffian, am I hindering you? Shouldn't you at least be more reasonable than a ruffian? The Chinese nation is a big family, and in this big family
"Here, I can't be considered a good boy, but I'm certainly not a traitor."
Lao Jiu didn't understand politics and couldn't get in the conversation, so he stood quietly and watched, paying close attention to Zheng Nan. If Zheng Nan dared to use his fists on Ye Zinong, he would be rude. Fortunately, the situation was not serious.
It worsened to the point of not using fists.
Zhang Libo got tired of standing. He looked at the stool and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
Ye Zinong said: "What else can you say? I already know your voice. You have achieved your goal. Please come back."
Zheng Nan said: "Nonsense! How can we stand without refuting you?"
Zhang Libo sat down first, then motioned for Zheng Nan to sit down, and then motioned for Zheng Nan to sit down as well. At this moment, it was as if he was the leader, controlling the rhythm and atmosphere. The stools were too small, and the four grown men sat uncomfortably.
Zhang Libo said: "If I want to explain it clearly, why doesn't the logic make sense? Why is it dyed black in one vat?"
Ye Zinong said: "If you admit that the law of cause and effect is science, then the theory of regime cycles is pseudoscience. If Li Zicheng met the conditions for an instant regime, it would be an instant. If the Zhou Dynasty met the conditions for an 8-year regime, it would be 8 years. You take a
If the political power cycle is equalized, wouldn't Li Zicheng suffer a loss? If he doesn't have enough power, why don't you give it to him? Isn't this nonsense?"
Zhang Libo said with a condescending kiss: "Well, that makes sense. Go on."
Ye Zinong said: "Then there is nothing to say. Since your democracy is the trend of historical development and cannot be stopped by any force, you can just go home and wait in a down-to-earth manner. I don't care whether I know it or not. Anyway,
Neither you nor I can stop you. What you say is in vain. If you have time to take a break, I will take a break too." Zhang Libo said contemptuously: "Don't say you have an iron shoulder to bear moral responsibility. You are not even a Chinese at least.
Even your conscience is too lazy to bear the burden. In fact, you are not too lazy to bear the burden. You are sitting on a crooked buttocks and bear the burden of something that the truth despises."
Ye Zi Nong said: "I don't know how good or bad China can be in the future, but the consequences exist. As long as there is no conscience, who can deny that China now is the best era since the Opium War? 1
There is essentially no difference between a vat of black dyeing and a vat of bleaching. They are both thoughts of likes and dislikes. Do you believe that thinking of likes and dislikes can seek truth from facts? No one will not see a doctor just because he is in good health or sick, and no one will stop seeing a doctor just because he has acne on his face.
Cut off the head. The Eight-Nation Allied Forces and the Japanese devils couldn't save the Chinese nation. If you say it can't be saved, then it will be lost? Ask the Chinese people if they agree? Damn it! What the hell is your logic?"
Zhang Libo noticed that Zheng Nan glanced at him with some confusion. He realized that he was very passive and even lost face in front of the students. He quickly adjusted his thoughts and changed the topic: "Do you hate democracy so much? If you admit
At this point, you are hopeless and we will leave immediately."
Ye Zinong said disgustedly: "It's democracy again. This word is so damn useful. You can kidnap anyone in the name of democracy. You don't have to respect me, but can you please show some respect to the word democracy?" Zheng
Nan said: "Just because of this, you are a ruffian."
Ye Zi Nong said: "This can be concluded, but can you please be more reasonable than the ruffian? I despise the most damn people who scold your mother no matter what, no matter what the situation is, you have to scold first and then talk about it. What kind of mentality is it? They all scold your mother. In fact, who is it?"
We all have it. We use common things to infer the rights and wrongs of one party. That is not called reasoning. In academic terms, it is called ideological struggle. Commonly known as it is called scolding. There is scolding between parties, there is scolding between countries, and it is all about the party cursing and the country cursing.
Swearing, don't think that making a collective sign is not scolding. You should first exclude the non-institutional and institutional commons. That is a stubborn disease that human wisdom cannot eradicate so far. You have to tolerate this even
None, that is not the fault of human society. After eliminating these, what is left is unique to the personality system. It is not too late for you to scold me. It is naive to use a word that is the best to deny that a condition may be good.
Or do you have ulterior motives?"
Zhang Libo said: "It is the common people's right to scold mothers. You are scolding me one by one, aren't you?" Ye Zi Nong said: "If you have the right to scold your mother, can you scold them in any way? If you scold them in any way, you don't even have a sense of right and wrong.
, then don’t talk about morality. You are just a scolding machine. You are not as good as a scoundrel like me. I can at least distinguish right from wrong. If you are just trying to find fault with the Communist Party, then that’s okay. We can take every word you say.
If it's just to complain, we can also bring in our likes and dislikes. It's okay to amplify what we can, reduce what we can shrink, and distort what we can. However, if we want to characterize the party, then we have to
If you look at it comprehensively and historically, especially if you conclude that your strength is exhausted, you have to look at the facts, and this is not the case when you look at the reality of society.
Zhang Libo said: "Let's talk about democracy, don't make decisions based on left and right considerations."
Ye Zinong said: "Is it the democracy of the American electoral system or the democracy of the Chinese People's Congress? Is it democracy of the head count or democracy of the fundamental ownership of the country? You carry the American version of democracy to discuss Chinese issues, and you are responsible for putting forward the history of China.
Set the conditions again? Those are flowers blooming from other people's soil. You expect American democracy to reflect China's fundamental interests. Unless it is the result of the American people's struggle for the interests of the Chinese people, then human beings are still human beings.
"?"
Zhang Libo said: "Can the People's Congress system also be called democracy? It's ridiculous."
Ye Zi Nong lit a cigarette and said: "Unfortunately, this democracy that makes you laughable has created the best era in China since the Opium War. So, is it more important to satisfy your ridiculousness or to have a good life for the Chinese people? This question
Doesn't it make you laughable in itself? If China's democratic form does not adapt to the national conditions, it will be reflected in all aspects of economy, culture, and people's livelihood. A political form that has lost its social foundation will not make you laughable, but it will itself
It gradually disappears in the ever-increasing social conflicts. On the contrary, it has a social foundation and adapts to national conditions. China has been groping for more than a year and finally found a development path that suits itself. It cannot sell the good life of the people in order to please foreigners. If
It is said that the connotation of democracy in today's world has extended from the people of the world to the respect and coexistence of different systems and different values. Then, as long as your democracy is different from mine, I will destroy you. Is this kind of democracy still democratic? Would you not
I would also find it ridiculous.”
Zheng Nan suddenly said sharply: "Stop talking, you have confused my mind."
Ye Zinong said: "Do you have a mind? If you have a mind, you won't mess up."
Just as Zizinong finished speaking, the phone rang. He flicked his cigarette and got up to answer the phone. Zhang Libo was about to speak, but was also blocked by the phone ring, so he had to wait.
The call was from Dai Mengyan, asking: "Zinong?"
As soon as Zizinong heard it was Dai Mengyan's voice, he said, "Call back in five minutes." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lao Jiu glanced at Zhang Libo, meaning to remind him that it was time to leave.
Ye Zi Nong sat back on his stool and said: "I have listened to what I should listen to, and I have said what I should say. If you want to refute it, hurry up. I really have something going on here. Why don't you refute it at another time?
Okay, I will be very grateful if you refute me, because you helped me understand things that I am not capable of understanding, otherwise we would have stopped here and lived our own lives."
Zhang Libo stood up, looked at the scholar and said politely: "People like you will not end well."
The leaf farmer also stood up and said: "I am an ant, and I will not suffer any consequences. Please do as you please."
Zhang Libo said: "It's useless to talk harshly."
Ye Zi Nong said: "This is the second threat. Are you undemocratic now? I have been accustomed to hearing about loving the motherland and the people since I was a child, but I have never taken it seriously. I feel a little bit threatened by you today."
We are involved." Zhang Libo and Zheng Nan walked away one after another with angry expressions on their faces.
Although Ye Zi Nong was unhappy, he politely sent the two visitors out. He closed the door and came back to put away the two stools. He picked up the tea and wanted to drink it. When he found that the tea was already cold, he said, "I'll go get some."
Something hot."
Lao Jiu said: "I'll go and wait for the call."
Ye Zi Nong said: "You are not sure. You have to pour some out and then mix it with the heat. You can't pour it all out yet."
Ye Zi Nong brought a tea jar of herbal tea to the kitchen, poured out two-thirds of the tea, and mixed it with boiling water from a thermos bottle. Lao Jiu also followed and poured out the two cups of herbal tea. The two sat back in the living room, and the hot tea was not poured yet.
The phone rang again, and Zhi Nong answered the phone.
Dai Mengyan asked on the phone: "Are there any guests?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Two fellow Beijingers are leaving. Brother Ninth is here, come and take a look. You tell me."
Dai Mengyan said: "I was kicked off the stage at the party and my car was smashed."
Ye Zi Nong chuckled and said, "Just smash it, you're a traitor, what's new about this." Dai Mengyan asked, "Do you know what embarrasses a woman the most?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "I never thought about it, but I have to button up my skirt."
Dai Mengyan said: "Hey! The three-point pose is already conservative. It doesn't matter if you drop the buttons on your skirt. It's too old-fashioned."
Ye Zinong said: "Then I don't know."
Dai Mengyan said: "The most embarrassing thing for a woman is not career failure, nor exposure, but being abandoned by a man." Upon hearing this, Ye Zi Nong said: "Yes, we need to issue an imperial edict."
Dai Mengyan said: "I have decided to stay in Paris. Can you stay with me for a while?"
Zizinong was startled for a moment and asked: "You...have moved?"
Dai Mengyan replied: "The visa and house have been booked."
Ye Zinong asked: "Can I sign it in this situation?"
Dai Mengyan said: "As long as it doesn't burn your hands, money is not completely useless."
Ye ZiNong asked: "How much did it cost?"
Dai Mengyan replied: "A lot."
The leaf farmer asked: "How much is a lot?"
Dai Mengyan said: "Is it interesting to ask this clearly?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "You are not afraid of being crushed to death by a poor man like me."
Dai Mengyan said: "I need you. Don't embarrass me too much, okay?"
Ye Zinong paused for a moment, quickly judging the matter in his mind, and then said: "Well, it will take some time to get to know my face. If there is no problem with the visa, I will go to Paris to serve the chief minister."
Dai Mengyan said: "I can't leave here. Someone will contact you in the next two days. Please cooperate. What I am most worried about is your safety in Berlin. If the situation is not good, I will contact the bodyguard company. If you don't want to get into trouble,
Just pay more attention to yourself.”
Ye Zi Nong quickly said: "I pay attention, I pay attention."
Dai Mengyan said: "Okay, that's all. Say hello to Brother Jiu for me."
Zizinong put down the phone and sat back on the stool and said: "Brother Jiu, Miss Dai asked me to say hello to you for her." Lao Jiu said: "Well, I want you to go to Paris."
Zizinong nodded and said, "This woman is desperate for her life."
Lao Jiu said: "If you are in this situation, you can sign the contract and pile up the money."
Zizinong pondered and said: "I'm afraid that the pile will be empty. It's true that I signed it for you, and it's true that I'll expel you tomorrow. Maybe it's Zhou Yu who wants to slap the yellow cover, and everyone is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."
Lao Jiu poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Zi Nong and said, "Let's just go through the motions. Being deported has nothing to do with you. Dai Mengyan can't say anything. To be honest, I don't think Paris is safer than Berlin."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Taking advantage of a weak point is a mistake. This kind of light on all sides is so damn unmanly."
Lao Jiu became silent.
Only then did Ye Zi Nong drink the water. He slowly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it. He took a deep puff and then exhaled for a long time. It was more like taking a deep breath, and then he was quiet like this.
He drank water, smoked, and concentrated without saying a word. This silence lasted for more than a minute. He put down the cigarette, went to the bedroom, found paper, a pen and a note, and copied the words on the note.
Take this one.
Zi Nong sat down, picked up the cigarette from the ashtray and smoked it. He paused for a moment and said, "Brother Jiu, I want to ask you to work hard again and run to Beijing for me."
Lao Jiu asked: "What's the matter?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "You know, I don't have many friends. As for you, you are also an American. It is inappropriate to ask you for help in this matter. I just think that this matter alone should not cause you any trouble."
"Trouble." Lao Jiu said anxiously, "What's the matter? Just tell me."
Zizinong handed the note to Lao Jiu and said: "Brother Jiu, go save my face and help me get rid of my heartache. Sister Meng wants to see my face clearly, one year is enough. If possible, please ask Director Zhang to help
I’ll get a real residence permit for one year.”
While watching, Lao Jiu muttered: "Zhang Zhicheng...Ministry of National Security...oh, what a big shot." Ye Zi Nong said: "How to say? Say what if. If I don't know Director Zhang, if he didn't say
I have come to him when I have something to do, and if there is a problem, if he can't help, then everything will be cleared, then just go to Paris and be deported. Taking advantage of a woman's innocence, I really can't do this kind of thing.
I will be heartbroken. When I see a woman in the future, my waist will not be straight, and my lower waist will not be straight either. Why should I? Choose the lesser of the dilemmas, I can only stick to my nose and face. If they are separated by some mistake, Dai Mengyan will stay.
She always thinks you are a piece of cake. Seeing that our faces are separated, she will live a clean life." Lao Jiu said: "That can't be said to be a slap in the face."
Yizinong said: "Zhang Zhicheng personally does not have this ability. No matter who is in contact with the French side or in what way, they cannot do without the support of official background. Using official background is causing trouble for the government. I am assuming this
I know how to pretend to be confused. It's such a shameless thing. Let alone meeting me, I can't even open my mouth even if I make a phone call. It's too embarrassing."
Lao Jiu nodded and said, "For a woman...what's the big deal?"
Ye Zi Nong smiled, paused for a while, and said: "Brother Jiu, what is civilization? All living beings dare to spit in the face of a saint, but they dare not spit in the face of a robber, so we must be civilized and not take advantage of anyone's strength to grab food.
, allowing all sentient beings to spit in the face of robbers, and allowing women and children to have priority, this is civilization. We are men, shouldn't we take care of women?"
Lao Jiu sighed, shook his head and sighed: "Really, how did you get to this point?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Hey, this is life, you may be blown where by the wind." (To be continued)
