Chapter XXVII: Projection
"The bitter sand, the feeling of blowing the painful face, like the father's scolding and mother's crying, I will never forget, when I was young, I liked to be alone on the beach, rolling up my pants and stepping on the beach barefoot......"
In front of the courtyard gate, there were several teachers who led the team, and they looked at Zhang Yunqi who got off the bus humming a song, with strange expressions, and they all looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.
Zhang Yunqi was in a good mood and greeted them one by one with a smile.
When I saw him standing under the wild jujube tree for the first time, when I saw him get out of the car, I didn't care about the strange eyes of several teachers, and greeted him directly.
"Did you beat Director Luo?"
"No, how dare I hit him, it's good if he doesn't hit me. ”
But I heard his cry. ”
"No, he just screamed, and I won't let him do it later. ”
"That's what it called. ”
There were cockroaches in the car, and Director Luo was timid, so he screamed in fright. Let's go, let's go to the auditorium to watch the theatrical performance. ”
Zhang Yunqi pulled the preoccupied Chujian into the courtyard dam.
Several teachers immediately rushed to the bus, and an older teacher was still chattering: "I remember that this student is a student in Teacher Wang Mingzhen's class, it's too unorthodox, I want to talk to Teacher Wang when I go back." ”
The auditorium was crowded with people, Zhang Yunqi didn't know where Wang Xiaokai's group was sitting, after coming in with the first meeting, he found two stools in the back and sat down, and students came to the stage one after another to perform poetry recitation, dance, and singing.
There were a lot of people, the auditorium was very stuffy, and in the middle of the theatrical performance, Zhang Yunqi went out to go to the toilet, and then went to the previous store to buy two bottles of drinks.
On the way back, he met Li Xiaoman, Zhao Chengming and Xu Wen unexpectedly.
After such a fuss tonight, most people know that the families of these three people are either rich or expensive, but their usual dress in school is not very conspicuous, but the taste is not comparable to ordinary students, but the current appearance is somewhat embarrassing, Zhao Chengming is still handsome, but the white shirt is oily and refined, Li Xiaoman is tall and has a refined temperament, the black dress is stained with a lot of mud, and the cute Xu Wen's clothes and hair are messy, and she is muttering something.
Zhang Yunqi is not familiar with them, and he is not the same kind of person, so there is no need to say hello, but when he walked by, Li Xiaoman stopped him: "Zhang Yunqi." ”
Zhang Yunqi stopped: "Something?"
Li Xiaoman was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you." ”
Zhang Yunqi was inexplicable: "Thank me for what?"
Li Xiaoman said: "We all know the matter, just now Wang Xiaokai came to find Yu Fei and told us that it was the village committee you were looking for, and the money was paid to relieve us from the siege." Thank you. ”
Zhang Yunqi smiled: "This is not necessary, I didn't think about solving any siege for you, to be honest, I did this, but I didn't want to see those ordinary students like me not get a positive response when they reasonably expressed their demands." ”
Xu Wen was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yunqi's rhetoric, snorted and said: "Reasonable? Isn't our appeal unreasonable? Staying in a hotel is not what we want, is it the original sin to have a good background?"
Zhang Yunqi didn't want to discuss these metaphysical issues: "I don't think you need to talk about the theory of origin, everyone is a student, at least in school, since everyone is arranged to come out to participate in activities, food, housing and transportation should be treated equally, it is fair." ”
Zhao Chengming next to him was a little unconvinced: "They keep saying that they want fairness, but in my opinion, what they pursue is not fairness at all, but self-interest! Think about it from another perspective, if they are the ones staying in the hotel and we are sleeping in the car, will they refuse? Will they take into account our feelings? Therefore, there is no such thing as fairness in this world where the law of the jungle eats the jungle at all, and when you come up with fairness to talk about things, it can only show that you are not a vested party of interests!"
Zhang Yunqi looked at Zhao Chengming, who was full of words, and said that it seemed to be reasonable and indeed had a certain place for useful opinions, but if he had left it in the past, he would have exploded this guy's mother, and taught him what is the intergenerational transmission of resources, what is the monopoly of rising channels, what is the vicious circle of information shortage, and what is smug and does not eat minced meat, if the world is full of the weak and the strong, then what is the difference between human beings and animals? If we don't even talk about the basic fairness? What is the meaning of the college entrance examination? How is the role of the law reflected? However, now he is not a young man in his early twenties, and he is not interested in dung, so what is the point of talking to these flowers and bones living in the greenhouse?
Thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and months.
The world is so big, what we see and hear is nothing more than a projection of our hearts.
There are many people born with golden keys in this world, and there are more people who fight the world with their bare hands; there are many people who hold power in their hands to seek their own selfishness; there are also more people who can adhere to the bottom line of principles and serve the people; there are many people who are drunk and indulged in pleasures, and there are also more nameless people who work hard in steel cages, assembly lines, and fields in order to make a living.
Many years ago, Zhang Yunqi studied secondary school in Lijin City, the provincial capital of Hunan Province, I remember about 95 years, Lijin City held the World Table Tennis Championships, he and several classmates signed up as volunteers, before the World Championships began, ran to work, squatted on the ground at noon while eating a box lunch, while chatting with a migrant worker who gnawed on chicken legs to build a venue. He asked him what his surname was, he said his surname was Gou, he didn't understand it at the time, and asked him: "How to write", he was a little embarrassed to say that he was illiterate and didn't know how to write.
Zhang Yun had already forgotten many of the grand narratives of 1995, but the strange thing was that he always remembered this scene, and sometimes wondered, which Gou it was? Later, as he grew older, he slowly figured out that he couldn't forget this detail, not because he was pitiful for the fate of the migrant worker, but because he saw himself in him: In the river of history, these little people like him are probably nameless people.
But so what?
What if this Mr. Gou doesn't know how to write his surname? What if there is sweat on a certain brick in this city, but what if he is unknown? The land of China is full of peasants, workers, scientists, soldiers guarding the frontier, and firefighters rushing to the fire scene to truly create and dominate history. The world is indeed cruel, and it has many unfairness, but there will be something that proves that we have sincerely lived, loved, and struggled.
Thinking like this, Zhang Yunqi nodded to Zhao Chengming, who was staring at him and seemed to be about to debate the word "fair": "What you said makes a lot of sense. Then, carrying two bottles of drinks, he waved his hand to them: "It's not too early, goodbye." ”
At this time, Li Xiaoman stopped him again: "Wait, how much money did you pay for this?"
Zhang Yunqi was more interested in this topic and turned his head: "You want to make up this money to me?"
Li Xiaoman was choked and asked, "How much?"
Zhang Yunqi said: "1500." ”
"So much!" Xu Wen was taken aback, where could such a large sum of money be easily taken out by a high school student, she almost couldn't believe it, and looked Zhang Yunqi up and down: "What do you do at home?"
Zhang Yunqi laughed: "The seller of fish meal has opened a small shop, which is opposite the gate of the city's No. 1 Middle School, if you have time, you can try it, it is delicious and cheap, and I can give you a nine-percent discount." ”
Xu Wen was so angry that she pursed her mouth, and then glared at Zhang Yunqi with a hideous expression: "Who is rare, pick and search for ghosts! I'm not so poor that I want you to eat a bowl of noodles and ask you for a discount." ”
"Okay, Wenwen, don't tell him about this uselessness. Zhao Chengming didn't get a positive response from Zhang Yunqi because of the opinion he said just now, and he felt uncomfortable, this is like because of one thing, you want to refute the other party with your own point of view, but the other party doesn't bother to debate with you at all, there is always a breath blocked. He said: "Zhang Yunqi, you said that you spent 1,500 yuan, such a large amount, give us a proof." ”
Zhang Yunqi glanced at Zhao Chengming: "I want to prove that I went to the village committee and the school, I didn't force you to ask for money, if you don't have money or don't want to give it, just say it, I don't force it, I've already done it, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be here? ”
"Yes, then make an IOU. Li Xiaoman, who has few words but strong sentences, is surprisingly resolute, she pulled Zhao Chengming, who was scared to the point of redness, took out her homework book and pen from her schoolbag, and wrote a well-organized IOU in three clicks: "Give, I'll pay you back when I go back." ”
"Well, that's a good word. ”
Zhang Yunqi glanced at it and walked away.
Xu Wen stared at his back and muttered a little mouth and stomped his foot: "This guy is really a philistine!"
The redness on Zhao Chengming's face had not yet dissipated, and he was really unbalanced in his heart: "Xiao Man, you don't need to give him an IOU at all, even if this matter is solved by him, but he himself admits that he has nothing to do with us." You're just too idealistic. ”
Li Xiaoman looked at Zhang Yunqi's back, and said for a long time: "Realistically speaking, this person is very different, with rich social experience and practical ability, as for us, we still don't have gold on our faces, this is not idealism, just a one-sided cognition confined to books." This outrage is an example of this, we had good intentions, but we caused such serious consequences, in fact, it could have been completely avoided. The world is our world, the society is our society, and the country is our country. That's idealism. City No. 1 Middle School can have such students. Not bad. Let's go. ”
