After Zhu's father finished speaking, he walked directly to the study.
Du Fei was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Ting.
Zhu Ting was also a little confused, not knowing what her father wanted to talk to Du Fei about.
But I heard clearly just now that Zhu’s father only called Du Fei, but did not ask her to go.
Zhu Ting can still act coquettishly about other things, but going to the study has a different meaning. She doesn't dare to mess around, so she can only nuzzle and tell him to hurry up.
Of course Du Fei is not afraid. After spending time together, Du Fei feels that this future father-in-law is not difficult to get along with.
When they arrived in the study, Du Fei was already familiar with it. He went straight to the tea cabinet and asked, "Uncle, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"
Dad Zhu did not go to the desk, but sat on the three-seat sofa and said, "Jasmine~"
As he spoke, he leaned on the back of the sofa, took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.
When Du Fei saw it, he knew that Zhu's father regarded him as one of his own, otherwise he would never show his tiredness and relaxation in front of outsiders.
After a while, Du Fei came over with two cups of tea, placed one cup in front of Dad Zhu, held a cup himself, and sat on the single seat next to him.
Dad Zhu closed his eyes to rest for a moment, put his eyes back on, and recovered.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Mingfei came to see me yesterday."
When Du Fei heard this, he knew it was the Lou family's business.
Li Mingfei didn't pay much attention to the Lou family before, thinking that he was just a outdated capitalist who could make decisions without consulting his elders.
But Du Fei analyzed those things for him, which made him realize that this matter might affect his whole body, so naturally he could no longer make his own decisions.
Especially since Du Fei knew about this matter, it wouldn't be good if Dad Zhu knew it from Du Fei's mouth.
Therefore, Li Mingfei took the initiative to come over and report the situation the next day.
Dad Zhu continued, "You did a very good job in this matter."
Du Fei smiled and said politely, "Uncle Zhu, you are so complimentary."
He knew that Dad Zhu didn't call him here specifically to praise him.
Moreover, the Lou family's affairs are really nothing in Dad Zhu's eyes.
Next, Dad Zhu took another two sips and was not in a hurry to continue.
Du Fei waited silently and drank tea too.
There is a ceiling fan on the roof of the study room. When I came in just now, it was already turned on and it was turning slowly and slowly.
After about two or three minutes, Dad Zhu suddenly sighed and said, "Xiao Fei, why do you think the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop?"
Du Fei frowned, vaguely guessing Dad Zhu's current situation.
Originally, the Zhu family, the Chu family, and the Xiao family formed an alliance to protect each other. However, the Chu family and the Xiao family have already shown signs of giving in.
Only Dad Zhu's position gave him no room for concession and he had to face huge pressure from all sides.
Du Fei thought for a while and asked, "Someone wants to force you to take sides?"
Father Zhu was very satisfied with Du Fei's keen reaction and said slowly, "What should I do if it were you?"
Du Fei frowned, picked up the teacup, and fell into long thought.
Dad Zhu didn’t rush him and waited patiently.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes...
It was almost twenty minutes before Du Fei took a deep breath.
During this period, Dad Zhu did not show any impatience.
Du Fei put down his teacup, raised his head and said, "Uncle Zhu, since you asked me to tell you, I will tell you. Please give me some advice."
Dad Zhu nodded, "You say~"
Du Fei was so busy that he said, "If you have to take sides, it will be easy."
"Oh?" Dad Zhu became interested after hearing the first sentence. The question has been bothering him recently. , I couldn’t figure it out with several very wise old friends, so how could it be easier to get to Du Fei?
Young people, they really can't stop talking without surprising.
Du Fei continued, "It's okay to stand on the side of the winner."
Dad Zhu couldn't help but be stunned. Even though he was as rich as Yuan, Du Fei couldn't stop him.
There is nothing wrong with saying this.
At the end, I added the words ‘no, it’s okay’ to emphasize that it’s really simple.
But after several contacts, Dad Zhu knew that Du Fei was not frivolous.
Since he said this, he must have an explanation. He asked in a deep voice, "How do you know who is the winner?"
Du Fei had just been thinking about it for so long. Although he couldn't say he was completely sure of it, he still had a general outline. He said slowly, "Uncle, I don't know if you have heard of the saying, history always repeats itself."
Dad Zhu said "Hmm" and said, "Hegel said it."
Du Fei was not surprised that Dad Zhu could tell the origin of this sentence.
Although it is not Hegel's original words, it basically means the same thing.
Du Fei continued, "So to deconstruct the present, we only need to look to history for answers."
Dad Zhu frowned, somewhat disapproving of it.
Because "history is always surprisingly similar" and the second half of the sentence is "but it is not a simple repetition".
But he was not in a hurry to express his position.
Du Fei went on to say, "If you peel back history, I think the most valuable reference should be the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty."
Dad Zhu's brows furrowed even deeper, and when he noticed that Du Fei paused, he nodded and said, "Go on."
If Dad Zhu doesn’t agree with the point of view just mentioned, there is no need to say what follows.
But since Zhu's father wanted to hear it, Du Fei simply showed off, "Zhu Yuanzhang also came from a lower class, had great talents, had seen real suffering among the people, had unparalleled will, and had a strong desire to hope that his subjects could live a fair and prosperous life."
.During the Hongwu years, major cases frequently occurred, from Hu Weiyong to Li Shanchang to Lan Yu, often involving tens of thousands of people. What was Zhu Yuanzhang’s purpose?”
Because Zhu’s father’s surname is Zhu, he knows the history of the Ming Dynasty very well.
But he guessed that Du Fei must have other opinions.
Du Fei said, "Actually, to put it bluntly, he wanted to curb the expansion of the Xungui class in the early Ming Dynasty, prevent the dynasty from being swallowed up by the unrestricted Xungui class, and prevent the Ming Dynasty from repeating the mistakes of the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. The reason for his attack was so ruthless.
, just to set a benchmark, so that for future generations, even if you give a discount, it can still scare Xiaoxiao."
Dad Zhu's heart trembled, "You mean now..."
Du Fei said, "When it comes to the founding emperors of the past dynasties, there are two people I admire the most, one is Qin Shihuang and the other is Zhu Hongwu. Other founding emperors, such as Liu Bang, Li Yuan, and Zhao Kuangyin, never thought of fundamentally changing anything. Qin Shihuang abolished enfeoffment and implemented
Counties and counties built Chidao, bringing China into a new era and laying the foundation for unification. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use imperial power to suppress the entire landlord bureaucracy, so that the common people in the world could have fields and food to eat, so that they would not rise up again in the future.
"
Dad Zhu listened carefully. Although he did not completely agree with Du Fei's statement, he could hear the implication of Du Fei's metaphor of the past and the present.
Immediately afterwards, Du Fei changed the subject, "But what happened in the end? The Ming Dynasty still died in 276, and it did not cross the threshold of three hundred years. Obviously Zhu Yuanzhang failed. There are many reasons why he failed, and we will not do it today.
discuss."
Du Fei took a breath and looked at Zhu's father, "Back to the issue of lining up, Zhu Biao died of illness too early..."
Speaking of Zhu Biao, Zhu’s father couldn’t help but feel excited
Trembling, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, "If Zhu Biao had not died early, there would have been no peace campaign, which was a waste of national power and a waste of people and money."
Du Fei heard what he was saying and didn't dare to answer.
Then he said, "Now we just need to find out who Zhu Di is!"
Dad Zhu restrained his emotions. The lenses of his glasses were somewhat reflective under the light, and Du Fei couldn't see his eyes clearly.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
After waiting for a while, Zhu's father took the lead and said, "It's too early to say who Zhu Di is. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang is still there, Zhu Di can only be a hidden dragon. A hidden dragon in the abyss is not enough to be a Tao."
Du Fei smiled and continued, "You are right, but having said that, since the dragon is hiding in the abyss, can you explain that none of the gentlemen in the hall is Zhu Di?"
Dad Zhu’s eyes narrowed.
It turns out that Du Fei has come full circle, and this is the key!
At this moment, even Zhu's father couldn't stop his heartbeat from racing.
There is no winner~ Is there really no winner?
He was not sure about Du Fei's judgment.
But this undoubtedly gave him a whole new way of thinking.
Although Dad Zhu is under a lot of pressure now, he is not a pushover.
What Dad Zhu is really worried about is not the present, but the future.
With Du Fei's words today, he immediately felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.
Although what Du Fei said seems to be a bit mechanical, he has to admit that there is indeed some truth behind it.
Next, Dad Zhu sent Du Fei out because he needed to think about some issues quietly by himself.
Du Fei left the study and couldn't help but rub his temples.
Should I say it or not, the hour just now was really taxing on my brain cells.
Zhu Ting was sitting in the living room watching TV. Zhu's mother was not there, she probably went upstairs.
Hearing the sound of the door, Zhu Ting immediately stood up and came over. She couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw Du Fei rubbing her temples.
But he didn't ask what Zhu's father had just said to Du Fei. He pulled Du Fei to the sofa and sat down, and said gently, "Close your eyes and I'll rub them for you."
Du Fei was happy to enjoy the beauty's service, he smiled and rested his head on Zhu Ting's lap...
It's almost nine o'clock in the evening.
Du Feicai rode his bicycle and returned to the courtyard.
Because tomorrow is Sunday, many gentlemen and ladies in the courtyard are not in a hurry to go to bed.
There were more than a dozen people chatting and talking in the middle courtyard.
Bang Gong'er is unstoppable and is still practicing.
Seeing Du Fei coming back pushing the cart, he shouted excitedly, "Uncle Du, we are releasing the results today."
When Du Fei saw him like this, he knew that he must have done well in the exam and asked, "How high is your ranking?"
Bang Bang'er scratched his head and said, "Class nineteen."
Du Fei was really surprised. His performance at the end of the crane was so good, but he didn't expect that after working hard for several months, he really saw improvement!
Although being ranked 19th in the class is not very high, for Bangpoler, it is definitely quite eye-catching.
Du Fei patted Bang Bang'er on the shoulder, "Okay, man! Well... I'll reward you with all the eggs laid by the old hen tomorrow."
Banggian's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Thank you, Uncle Du!"
When his mother and his mother heard about his achievements before, although they were happy and praised him, they were all verbal, and it was only with Du Fei that they saw real benefits.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huairou came out of home and happened to hear her words. She immediately said, "Xiao Du, you can just spoil him. If you make progress, just give him a few words of praise. What kind of reward can you give him~"
In fact, after Du Fei finished speaking just now, he felt that he had made a mistake.
What reward would you like to give? , you can just give it in private, why bother saying it in public.
As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
Banggun'er is a child, but other people's children in the courtyard are not children?
Just borrowing Qin Huairou's words, Du Fei said with a smile, "Sister Qin, how can you spoil your child? Besides, they are not just great. The children in our courtyard will be among the top twenty in the class as long as they take the final exam."
Can you come to me and get eggs?"
The people in the courtyard didn't expect Du Fei to be so generous.
In fact, I can't give out much. There are countless children who come to school in the courtyard, and I really can't count how many children are good at studying.
Only Xiaojun, from the uncle's family, raised his hand and said, "Uncle Du, um, I'm fifteenth in the class."
Xiaojun is smart and sensible, but he fell behind too much in his homework before, and this time he only ranked fifteenth in the class.
Xiaodang, who is in the same class as Xiaojun, is over 20 years old.
Du Fei smiled and said, "That's right, I'll give it to you the day after tomorrow. I'll go get it with your Bangguner brother after school."
Xiaojun was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
The old man next to me also felt proud. Although his family didn't lack two eggs, how could the rewards for his children's exams be the same!
When Du Fei returned to the backyard, Qin Huairou was planning to see the old lady and followed her.
As soon as he entered the Moon Gate, he complained, "You tell me, why do you give me eggs when you have nothing to do? When you come back next time, I will see where you go to eat eggs."
Du Fei pinched her butt and said with a smile, "If you can't eat eggs, then I'll drink more milk. Anyway, I won't be hungry."
Qin Huairou blushed and swatted his hand away in fear, "Don't let others see it!"
As he spoke, he took two quick steps, looked back with a smile, and then got into the old lady's room.
Early the next morning.
July 24, 1966, Sunday.
Du Fei slept until half past eight before opening his eyes.
Last night, I fought with Qin Huairou's charming son until midnight, and it was already past twelve o'clock when I fell asleep.
Even so, Du Fei didn't wake up naturally.
I actually dreamed that I became Sun Wukong and was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain.
In his dream, he felt that something was wrong, thinking that it was most likely Xiao Wu who was causing the monster again.
But in the dream, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the Five Elements Mountain pressing on him.
Until I became more and more depressed, and finally opened my eyes.
But I found that my face was hairy.
This time, Xiaowu didn't sit on his chest, but lay directly on his face.
If it were winter, Du Fei would bear it, at least he would be warm.
But now it’s the dog days of summer, and it’s extremely hot!
Du Fei couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and evil grew in his courage.
He suddenly grabbed Xiao Wu with both hands, followed by a "meow" sound and a shrill scream...
It's almost noon.
Du Fei carried a box of beer and soda drinks and came to Shichahai.
Yesterday, the beer and soda were chilled with large ice cubes and then stored in the carry-on space.
When I was almost here, I found a place to take it out and put it on the rear rack of the bicycle.
Xiaowu, on the other hand, had a look of misfortune on his face and was lying on a bottle of soda stuck upside down in a beer box.
The feeling of coldness under his body made him decide to temporarily put aside his grudge against the shit-sweeper.
Come to the courtyard.
Zhu Ting had already arrived first and was chatting with Yu Xinxin in the courtyard.
Chen Fangshi, an old pervert, is hiding in the house with his red sleeves adding fragrance.
