Chapter 286: The Chasm
It's different from what the young people in the store think when they watch the excitement. Hong Yanwu was not happy at all, and he was quite reluctant to follow Ye Xuan out of the "Tianxing Residence" one after another.
The awkwardness and sharpness in his heart fell in the eyes of these people, and it became uncomfortable to lose a box of cigarettes.
No one could have imagined that there would be someone who didn't want to see such a beautiful girl. Being able to stay with such a girl, even if it is not a partner, others have to think highly of it, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.
If Hong Yanwu really dares to say what is in his heart, he will be scolded for hypocrisy and cursed.
But facts are facts, no matter what others think. As a party concerned, Hong Yanwu really didn't have any vanity and happiness in his heart, only at a loss, intertwined with embarrassment and apprehension.
Ye Xuan's walk into Hong Yanwu's life was really just an accident.
He was with her, apart from asking her for help, at most it was a friendship, although at first, he treated her as the opposite sex. But later, in his heart, Ye Xuan has become a little girl who has never grown up, lively and willful.
He could say with complete certainty that he had never had a bad heart again, and that he was so pure that he himself was astonished.
That abrupt confession, although Ye Xuan was very serious and infatuated, his mood was just that the water was wet and the ground was wet, and he didn't leave too many traces.
Not only did he not have the slightest thought of wanting to be someone else's son-in-law, but even when he thought about it later, he felt a little funny.
Because he knew very well that no matter what, he would never have anything to do with Ye Xuan.
He wasn't a hairy lad who didn't know what he wanted, just ignorant and stubborn that the future was full of possibilities.
Not only did he clearly know what life he wanted to live and what life he should live, but he also knew that there was a huge disparity in social boundaries between him and Ye Xuan, and there was no possibility at all.
Speaking of which, at the root, he just doesn't have a "sugar heart", and he won't ask for hardship, marrying such a daughter-in-law from a high-ranking family is difficult for him.
Therefore, the goal he set for himself today did not hesitate at all, that is, he must completely end this matter with Ye Xuan.
The only thing that can be flexibly mastered is the question of the style and method of conversation.
After talking deeply, he was afraid of hurting people. The conversation is shallow, and he is afraid that the other party will not understand. But there is no way to do this, and it can only be improvised, depending on the situation......
In order to make it easier to speak, Hong Yanwu and Ye Xuan walked all the way to the arrow tower at the big front gate.
Behind this towering tower is Tiananmen Square, the center of the capital in the minds of the people of the whole country. The Great Leaders Memorial Hall and the Monument to the People's Heroes are arranged in order from south to north in front of the "Jinshui Bridge" under the Tiananmen Gate.
There are several benefits to talking here.
First, the place is empty, and the two of them find a place where no one is talking to be easy to be heard by others, which avoids embarrassment. The second is that the breeze is quite cool, and the smell of Hong Yanwu's pig intestine can't smoke Ye Xuan. Third, it can also add a certain solemn atmosphere out of thin air, which seems to have a sense of ceremony.
But there's only one downside. It's just that the two of them are too far apart in their clothes.
Ye Xuan's elegance and nobility are in stark contrast to Hong Yanwu's greasy chef's top. So much so that the people who passed by around them always paid attention to the salute. This made Ye Xuan quite uncomfortable.
Sure enough, when she opened her mouth, it was aimed at Hong Yanwu.
"What are you dressed in? It's dirty and smelly! The white ones have turned yellow, like a flower child, no wonder people keep looking at you......
"In the past two days, my hands have been lazy, and my work clothes have not been washed. So what...... Don't worry, I'm standing downwind, far away from you, I can't smoke you......"
Hong Yanwu was also a little embarrassed to bury himself. But then in the blink of an eye, he thought of how to turn the unfavorable situation in front of him into an advantage.
“…… But when others look at me, it's not just because I'm wearing it, it's because you're wearing it too well. We are standing here, one is very bright, the other is oily, who can not be curious? I can't be blamed for this responsibility. Hey, by the way, there are a lot of people passing by here, and if you can't be prepared, you can bump into acquaintances, so if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't look back, it's really embarrassing for you, it's hard to explain......"
Hong Yanwu thought he was smart and felt that he could end this embarrassing meeting as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect that this would make Ye Xuan, who had long been prejudiced, grasp the main point of the words, but he misunderstood it even more.
She immediately said, "I knew." I knew you were covering up your inferiority complex with a cynical gesture. I didn't understand it before, but now I do. On the surface, you seem to have a lot of self-esteem when you reject people. But in reality, this is a sign that you are not confident. You are afraid of being with people who are better than you, and you are only willing to stay in your familiar environment, and you dare not take a step forward. There is a saying that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Are you like that? Do you think you won't have a bright future, so you're afraid to accept my feelings?"
These "are not" made Hong Yanwu stunned when he heard it, and hurriedly argued.
"Don't, don't, who has low self-esteem? Who is not confident? You...... I'm not afraid to accept your feelings, it's that I don't have that kind of feelings......
But Ye Xuan didn't believe his words at all, when this girl recognized something, she was very "axis" strong.
"Don't hide it, isn't it interesting to die to save face and suffer crimes? Didn't you say it yourself last time? There is a huge disparity in status between us, and there is a big gap! But what I want to tell you now is that you wear a military uniform and look like the children of high-ranking cadres, and you are just as heroic and handsome. So you have to have self-confidence!"
"We are a socialist society, is there still class discrimination? All the injustices have long since passed with the "movement" and become history. What really determines a person's achievements depends on how he fights, works, and fights! If you are still a big man who dares to fight and kill, how can you treat life so negatively. I don't understand this at all......"
Finally talking about the root cause, Ye Xuan, who was boldly attacking, stared at the expression on Hong Yanwu's face, and even a trace of blush appeared on his face.
Hong Yanwu's heart soared, and he inevitably became nervous again.
It seems that this girl is not completely dead. In dealing with such an important issue, he must be careful in his wording, and must not allow the misunderstanding to deepen.
In this way, he thought about it for a while, and then made a very serious appearance and said solemnly.
"Ye Xuan. I can tell you seriously and responsibly that you really misunderstood. And it's not the slightest misunderstanding. You're thinking all about it. ”
"First of all, you think I have low self-esteem to do the job I am doing now. But it seems to me that you don't understand why people work. If we are sincere and don't say anything about serving the people and contributing to society, then the answer is to support our families. Whether it is sitting in the office as an official or selling coolies for three wheels, in fact, it is just to earn wages and eat. ”
"The reality is that different jobs have different income packages and conveniences. Comparatively speaking, some jobs are dirty, smelly, and tiring, and earn little, and no one likes to do them. And for other jobs, it is very light, and the benefits are still good, which makes people break their heads. This is the difference between what people think of as 'decent work' and 'bad work'. ”
"I don't sing high notes with you. If I don't have money in my pocket and no house at home, I'll find a way to get a 'decent job'." But I can no longer use work as a means of making a living. If I had to choose, I'd be happy to do it. Because of this freedom, it also saves brains, and there is no need to pat the leader's ass or pretend to be a grandson. ”
"Don't look at me like this, it's not because of the summer. Just this season, it's comfortable as soon as the weather is cool. To put it bluntly, my work is in the nature of 'stinky tofu', smelling stinky and eating fragrant. Every day adds up to three or four hours of work, I take care of myself, I love to chat, I love to drink tea, and I go home from work after noon. Where can I find such a comfortable job? Is this cynicism and inferiority? Whoever wants to think like this, it can only mean that he is a layman. ”
Hong Yanwu's eloquence did not convince Ye Xuan, and she immediately refuted.
"It sounds like a bit of a point, but don't forget. Life is not only about money and housing, but also about achievement, status and glory. You said that if you really can't find another job, it's a matter of course to do this kind of foolish life, but what's the matter with you? You don't need to have a way or connection, you love dealing with pig intestines so much? If you don't say anything else, you really have to do this for the rest of your life, even if you have money and a house, you will still be looked down upon by many people......
But she didn't expect that these words made Hong Yanwu laugh.
Of course, it's not your fault, who let you be born in such a family, it's normal to think like this. But that's why I say we're two kinds of people. The gap between us is not at all something that can be bridged by appearance, or can be covered up by a sentence that people are equal, we are very different from each other, and we have very different environments, lifestyles and values. ”
"Like in your life circle, you can't accept a person's mediocrity at all. Even biological parents have to force their children to make achievements, and once they fail to meet their expectations, they will be given a cold reception. Criticized, punished, and shamefully mentioned by his family. Utilitarianism has become the standard by which your circle measures all things, and can even be used to determine relationships between people. Everyone cares more about what the people around him think of him than he is about who he is and what he wants to be. ”
"I'm not afraid that you don't like to hear it, it seems to me that everyone in your circle of life is a pitiful slave, because they don't live for themselves, but for others. No matter what kind of interpersonal relationship is hypocritical, utilitarian more than caring, quite indifferent......"
