Chapter 16: Thoughts
Early this morning, when Zhong Yuemin went out to prepare to go to the playground, his son Zhong Shanyue also followed.
"Dad, why don't you sleep a little longer, I only heard you come back in the middle of the night last night. ”
Zhong Shanyue buttoned up his coat and said, "I'm old, but I feel less." Walk, run two laps with you. ”
The father and son ran along the playground for more than half an hour before Zhong Shanyue slowed down and said with a smile: "You kid is good, your steps are steady, your breath is long, your endurance is good, and you have half the level of your old man." ”
"That is, who is your old man, you dared to duel with others when you were a teacher in Changsha, and you fought Lao Jiang with Mr. He in 35 years, I definitely can't compare with you. Zhong Yuemin slapped his ass vigorously.
Zhong Shanyue scolded with a smile: "Flim tongue, when did you learn this." ”
"Hey, the main thing is that you have good genes, you must have been able to speak better than me when you were young, otherwise my mother would not have been chased by you. Zhong Yuemin said with a hippie smile.
Zhong Shanyue didn't speak, and sighed deeply.
Zhong Yuemin realized that he shouldn't mention his mother, and the expression on his face gradually faded.
After a long while, Zhong Shanyue said: "Your mother has been gone for more than four years, and I always dreamed of her a while ago, she said that she was worried about you and asked me to take good care of you." ”
"Dad······" Zhong Yuemin doesn't know how to comfort his father, men are used to hiding their pain and sadness in their hearts, so they can only wait for time to slowly calm down, sometimes persuasion and comfort do not work.
Zhong Shanyue looked into the distance and said, "Your mother definitely didn't expect that her son would grow up so quickly, no longer the leather monkey he used to be, he was already an excellent young man, and he didn't need to worry about me as a father." ”
Zhong Yuemin was sorry in his heart, he has been particularly independent since the crossing, on the one hand, because of the psychological estrangement, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent his father from detecting it.
Zhong Shanyue saw that his son had not spoken, thinking that he was still immersed in missing his mother, so he changed the topic and said, "How is the new school, are you still adapting?"
"Oh, it's okay, the school is full of children in the compound, and they are all quite easy to get along with. Zhong Yuemin said absentmindedly.
"Most of the children in the school are high-level cadres, and it is inevitable that there will be some self-righteous superiority, and it is very bad to spread a little high-level news through their parents. You don't want to be influenced by them. Zhong Shanyue seemed to remember something and reminded Zhong Yuemin.
"Dad, you're right, and this phenomenon may be worse than you think. On the surface, everyone wears uniform and simple clothes, and looks very "equal", and textbooks and teachers also say that a socialist society is a beautiful society, without exploitation or oppression, and everyone is equal. But that's not the case. In private, the children of high-ranking officials enjoy more material and political privileges, while the common people live in difficulty, and some people from poor backgrounds do not even have any way out. Zhong Yuemin calmly narrated, this calmness made Zhong Shanyue feel frightened, and he was surprised by his son's meticulous observation and profound thinking at a young age.
"Yue Min, are these your thoughts?"
"I hesitated for a long time, but I still want to talk to you. There may be big problems in our education; schools blindly publicize the happy life of New China, but they do not tell students at all the reality that the vast majority of Chinese people are still hungry and poor; moreover, joining the regiment, joining the party, going on to higher education, finding employment, and joining the army are all emphasizing their origins, and even the cadres of our primary school election class must first discuss their family background. What is even more terrifying is that no one dares to tell the truth, everyone turns a blind eye to the facts, and telling the truth means denying the socialist road and the superiority of socialism. ”
"Yue Min, Dad is really happy that you are able to think independently, and it is so profound, but Dad wants you to keep these thoughts in your heart and not to reveal them to anyone except me. Zhong Shanyue sorted out his thoughts and said cautiously.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm not stupid. But lately I've been confused, and I have a hunch that things are going to go in a bad direction. But I don't know what to do. Zhong Yuemin finally asked the sentence in his heart.
Zhong Shanyue said: "You are still young, it is normal to feel confused and confused, your father and I have experienced too many things, like the things you are worried about, I also encountered them when I was rectifying in Yan'an." You have to believe in the party and the organization, and we will always solve these problems. ”
"The Central Committee has also considered the issue you raised, and recently it has been continuously strengthening political education in party and government organs at all levels, in order to prevent the bourgeoisie from being restored, and to prevent cadres from being separated from the masses, becoming corrupt, and becoming privileged. Zhong Shanyue thought about it and felt that his previous words could not convince Zhong Yuemin, so he added.
Zhong Yuemin argued: "Can I only wait, I want to do something, but I am afraid that my strength is too small,." ”
"Yes, the strength of the individual is very small in the face of the torrent of history, if you firmly believe in your choice, then firmly work hard to move forward, you must know that our party did not appear out of thin air, the first party member would have thought that we defeated the small RB, drove away the Kuomintang, and established New China?"
The conversation between father and son ended in Zhong Yuemin's silence, Zhong Shanyue's words greatly encouraged Zhong Yuemin, and he was reflecting on whether he was too cowardly.
Zhong Yuemin has been running away, he knows that he is powerless to change history, so he is depressed, scared, and bald, but now he has figured out, although he can't save a fish stranded on the beach, he can save this one, the next one, and another one... It can even influence the people around you to save more fish.
What did Zhong Yuemin decide to do······
As soon as Zhong Yuemin entered the school gate, he found that something was wrong, everyone looked at him and pointed at him, and when Zhong Yuemin entered the teaching building, there were some girls in the next class shouting cheers at him. He entered the classroom in a daze, and the noisy classroom suddenly fell silent, and the classmates looked at him like the students outside.
When Zhong Yuemin sat down, the classroom became lively, but everyone was clearly discussing things about him, which made him inexplicable.
"Yue Min, I inquired for you, the fat man who made an appointment with you is from class 512, he has practiced sanda for three years, he is the general queen, and his father is a colonel······" Cui Xiumei was unusual, and introduced him to the information on the occasion.
"Wait, what's the situation, why are you telling me this?"
"Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, you are the team leader, I am the deputy team leader, and it is also my duty to help you collect intelligence. The main thing is that I don't want you to lose, it's too embarrassing. Cui Xiumei said as a matter of course.
Zhong Yuemin didn't expect that Cui Xiumei, who was usually active in studying, was still a militant, but it was no wonder that after all, she was a child from the army compound, and she still had the revolutionary blood of her father in her bones.
"I haven't agreed yet, why should he fight, I have to accompany him, I don't have so much energy. Zhong Yuemin opened the book and was not ready to pay attention to it.
Cui Xiumei hurriedly said: "This is not good, now the whole school knows that you are fighting, if you don't go, everyone will think that you are a coward, and then our study group will not be able to recruit people." ”
Zheng Tong, who had been eavesdropping on the side for a long time, also said: "That's it, Yue Min, it's a small matter to lose face, but that fat man is too arrogant, and he says everywhere that you don't dare to compete with him, which really damages your bright and righteous image." ”
Zhong Yuemin pondered for a moment, looked at Cui Xiumei and Zheng Tong and said, "Can't you go?"
"Not really. The two of them shouted in unison.
