Chapter 96: Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it!
Oh, my God!
What is the situation? What is the brain circuit of the father? Actually taking the initiative to participate in a dinner that he is not invited?
OMG!
As a junior high school student, I have not been invited to dinner or attended any dinner or other activities except my family so far, but at least I know what occasions to go and what not to go, right?
At the very least, since people haven't sent out invitations, why bother wading into this troubled water?
Hey, my old father, the person I love the most, the embarrassment of society is ten, but you strive for twelve points!
Shame on you and throw it home!
I couldn't help but lower my head, using my elbow as a fulcrum, holding my head with my hands, trying to lower my head a little more, a little lower......
Ma Jinshan didn't answer, just quietly watched his every move.
But my father didn't care at all and yelled, "Waiter, add two sets of cutlery to me!"
"Okay!"
In less than a minute, the cutlery was taken.
My father took the tableware, put a set for me, and then got a glass of wine by himself, held it in front of him, and said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, welcome you back, first, come back and forth to us to give full play to your talents, and make positive contributions to the local area;
Zhang Xu smiled and raised his cup to touch the hero, the hero drank it all, but Zhang Xu only took a small sip.
"Where are you going to come back?" asked my father.
"At our high school, be the principal. Zhang Xu said modestly.
"Okay, good, it's really promoted! I'll have a few more drinks with you again!" said his father.
Then, Daxia filled his wine glass again, picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a few dishes for me, ate a few bites, and made a sound of "chirp, chirp".
After he came, the other four people led by Ma Jinshan did not say a word, and watched his "performance" very calmly.
In this way, the atmosphere of the air freezing to the extreme made me a little out of breath, ignoring the strange eyes of others, I leaned into my father's ear and whispered, "Dad, let's go!"
My father still didn't think so, and said loudly to me without any scruples: "It's okay, it's okay, Dad and the uncles chat, drink some wine, you eat yours, leave us alone......"
Then, he explained with a smile to the "uncles": "The child wants to go home, I will let him stay for a while, let's talk about ours!"
There is still no one to pick up.
"Dad, let's go!" I tugged at his clothes again and whispered to him, "We are not welcome!"
"What are you talking about?" my father seemed to think that I was a little talkative, and said dissatisfiedly: "These are my father's best classmates and friends back then! Do you know it? Dad doesn't allow you to talk like that! Apologize to these uncles!"
"Apologize? They didn't hear me say anything, okay? What are you sorry for? Hey, my father!" I sighed helplessly in my heart, although I was ten thousand unwilling, but I still stood up and said respectfully according to my father's words: "I'm sorry, uncles!"
"Okay, okay, why did the kid give him a line? You sit down!" Zhang Xu had already seen the atmosphere at the dinner table, and hurriedly played a round for his father who was singing "one-man show".
But his father's mood when he saw "old classmates and old friends" always kept him at the high point of excitement, so he didn't pay attention to these at all.
In addition, seeing that Zhang Xu also helped him "ease the atmosphere", his father suddenly got a little carried away, and continued to start his solo performance: "Dunzi, Dad introduced you, this is your Uncle Ma Jinshan, and now he is the director of our local public security bureau!"
"Hello Uncle Ma!" "Anyway, he is my father, and in front of outsiders, I can only helplessly cooperate with this scene to continue singing.
Ma Jinshan nodded slightly, but did not speak.
"Back then, this kid was the head of his father's class, and he chased after the beautiful girl's butt every day to tickle people, and once, the head teacher was also wearing a school uniform, and this kid thought it was a female classmate......!
As soon as the conversation box opened, my father was a little fluttery, and he couldn't hold it at all, no matter how much I tried to give him a look or pull his clothes, he didn't have any intention of stopping.
"This is your Uncle Zhang Xu!" the father began to introduce again.
"Hello Uncle Zhang!" I continued to cooperate very well-behaved.
"Okay, good!" Zhang Xu nodded, and he was the only old classmate who cooperated with his father.
"He's the representative of the math class in the class at that time! This guy has a good brain, and he is the first in math every time! And this guy has a crush on the class girl in our class, hahaha...... When he was writing a love letter, he was discovered by the teacher, and he was asked to read it in front of the whole class! haha...... Zhang Xu, you say, is there such a thing?"
"Yes, yes......" Zhang Xu seemed a little embarrassed, and said while nodding.
"This is your Uncle Wang Runshan, who is very powerful now, and he is the head of our local armed forces! He took a few of us to fight and fight at school back then, and now it is also in line with the major! Hehe!"
......
"This is your Uncle Liu Gui Liu, who is now the director of the Office of the Rural Credit Cooperative! When he had the smallest eyes in the class, the teacher gave him a nickname, 'Little Eye'! Haha, do you remember?"
......
"This is your Uncle Qi Guoqiang, this guy is wilted and bad, he always quietly pours water on the stool of his female classmates when he goes to school, and then yells loudly at people to pee his pants after class, hahaha!
......
His father recalled the interesting events of his student days like a treasure, as if they happened yesterday, and he remembered them vividly, and everything about everyone was said very accurately by him, so that they had no room for refutation, and could only smile awkwardly and nod silently.
Listening to his recollections, sometimes I also think, what a deep friendship this is? I can let my father tell the details of everything in such detail, as rigorous as the format of a primary school student's essay, time, place, person, the cause, process, and result of the event, and other elements are readily available, and there may be some exaggerated elements in the words, but the narration of these things is only for fun, to relieve boredom, and it is understandable to exaggerate.
It can be seen that my father is also a person who attaches great importance to the friendship of classmates.
"Maybe that's why he came uninvited, because he was confident enough in his classmates, or because he thought he knew the character and attitude of his classmates?" I thought.
But no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric, how wonderful the expression, how exaggerated the interpretation, and how the plot is sublimated, I can only hear the simple echoes of these classmates such as "um, ah, yes, yes, yes", which did not arouse any waves from others.
After talking about it for a long time, in fact, the time is only a few minutes.
Hearing only his father's eloquent conversation, my father may have realized the awkwardness of the atmosphere, so he got up and picked up the second glass of wine and said to everyone: "Come, let's have a drink together, for the sake of our friendship with our classmates for a long time......"
This time the cup made his father very embarrassed, only Zhang Xu picked up the wine glass, and the others still sat there "as steady as Mount Tai", without the slightest intention of getting up to drink.
This situation suddenly made my father extremely embarrassed, standing up, holding a cup, and I didn't know what to do next!
At this time, Ma Jinshan suddenly spoke: "I remember that I didn't call you for dinner, right?"
"Jinshan, you, you, what are you talking about?" The father looked at Ma Jinshan with some incredulity, and really wondered if his ears were hallucinating, so he asked with a stammer.
"Didn't you hear clearly? I didn't invite you to dinner today! Why are you here?" Ma Jinshan asked his father unceremoniously.
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly lost my anger and slapped the table with all my strength!
"Smack".
Including my father, the other four except Ma Jinshan were taken aback by my "sudden outburst".
"Dad! People have already said that we are not welcome, what are you going to eat?" I tugged at my father's arm, "Let's go, let's go home!"
However, no matter how hard I tried, my father didn't move at all, and he stayed there!
"Ma Jinshan, we have been friends for many years! How can you talk like that?" the father was a little angry.
"Your son has seen it, what are you still struggling with?" Ma Jinshan sneered and said, "You are not welcome here!"
"Dad, don't you hear, don't you hear! People say you are not welcome, you are not welcome!" I suddenly yelled at my father, thinking how beautiful and naïve my father was at this moment, how pitiful!
My father still ignored me, gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?"
Ma Jinshan sneered and did not speak.
Zhang Xu stared blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Gui and Qi Guoqiang were also silent.
Wang Runshan may be a die-hard fan of Ma Jinshan, a big fat man, and at this time he said angrily: "Hehe, haven't you seen it yet? Old classmate, I'm sorry, I was born as a soldier, and I speak straight, don't you mind! Look at the few people at this table, there are the director of the public security bureau, the principal of the school, the director of the bank office, and so on, what about you?"
"Director Ma has already said it very clearly today, why don't you understand? Do you have to let us drive you away directly to be satisfied?" Wang Runshan was already ready to be born as a soldier before, and he didn't save face at all!
"Dad, it's already said this, don't you understand?" I yelled at him angrily, "People think you are incompetent, and you can't pee in the same pot!
"Let's go, let's go!" I tugged at my father's arm, but he was still stunned in disbelief!
In addition to the crowd at the table, even the other diners were watching the excitement, as if watching a circus juggler.
"What's going on?"
"It's not noisy, it's not noisy! It's that little guy yelling!"
"What is he yelling at when people eat, he doesn't know how to be polite at all!"
"Do you know what? Did you see the man next to that little guy?"
"See, what's going on?"
"Others didn't call him for dinner, he came by himself, but they drove him away!
"Yo he! I definitely won't go to the dinner if I wasn't called! There are still people who take the initiative to come?"
"That's right, people don't like him and drive him away!
"That's for sure, I'm here to talk to people, how can I leave so easily?"
"He's got a gift! He's here to eat! Hehe!"
"Don't say it, the world is so big, it's all strange! It's the first time I've seen it in a hurry!"
"Having said that, the people at that table are ruthless enough, they don't give any face, and they are said to be old classmates!
"Brother, those are also powerful people, even if people don't give you face, you have to nod your head and smile when you ask others to do things in the end!"
"That is, it makes sense, people are officials, people are not afraid of offending people! People are not afraid of anything!"
"Let's see, will that guy be dragged away by his son?"
"You can't pull it away, there's no drama to watch if you pull it away!"
"It's not a big deal for you to watch the excitement!"
"Tell me again, aren't you like that?"
"Hey, hey!"
"Hahahaha......"
Listening to other people's discussions, I suddenly became angry, and I couldn't get angry, and what made me even more angry was that I couldn't get rid of my father who was stunned there!
"Are you leaving?" still did not get a response, and then I said angrily, "If you don't go, I'll go!"
Then, in a fit of rage, I kicked the stool in front of me and turned away!
On the way home, I was still indignant about this, while getting angry, complaining about the indifference and ruthlessness of the world, and scolding at the same time, complaining about my father's ignorance!
Now I can really feel the background of Mr. Lu Xun and why he said the reality of "mourning his misfortune and being angry with him"!
"Such an old classmate in society, such a realistic old classmate, such a powerful old classmate, and an old classmate is a ghost! What is the use of such an old classmate?"
"This is society? This is the way of the world? If you have power, you can insult others, and you can be superior to others? If you have no power or power, you have to nod your head and be coldly looked at?"
"You deserve it, you don't want to leave when you're kicked away!
Father, father, if your attitude and behavior towards your family can be half or even one-tenth of that of those powerful old classmates, I think our home will be more harmonious and warm than ever!"
"Father, father, are all outsiders closer than the family?
"Forgive me for being incompetent, I really can't understand it, I can't imagine that under the bullying of others, you can still be as stable as Mount Tai in front of them;
"I admire your endurance so much! My old father! I really don't know what means you used to defuse the insults of your 'old classmates' to you!"
I'm "looking forward to it"!
