Chapter 11: The Five Constants for Immorality
"I see, I can understand that. Officer Wang swallowed a sip of wine and nodded approvingly. Although they are in the army, everyone pursues different things, and Wang Cheng naturally has his own ideals, so he can also understand Yu Chengcheng's mentality. Yu Tingcheng also smiled and said: "Listening to what Secretary Wang said, you seem to have your own ideals?" As they were talking, the dishes were also served one after another, and everyone was not polite, and they began to eat seaweeds one after another.
"This kid?" Platoon Commander Zhao swallowed a mouthful of food and pointed at Officer Wang with chopsticks, "He's just trying to record his military life and write a military novel." Everyone laughed.
"What about the company commander's ideals?" Yu Qingcheng also asked with interest. Zhang Yonghou said: "I'm going to make more connections and learn to do business after I leave the army." Then he became the CEO, married Bai Fumei, and walked to the pinnacle of his life from then on!" Zhang Yonghou's words made everyone laugh, and Yu Qingcheng didn't expect that the people in the army were so humorous, and he knew a lot more about them for a while.
"Hey, uncle, a bowl of cabbage noodles is only four yuan, you better pay the bill quickly!"
Just when Yu Qingcheng was eating and chatting and having fun, the guy outside shouted loudly at an old man who had just finished eating. This time, it attracted their attention, Yu Qingcheng glanced back, and saw an old man in a wheelchair on the side of the small table near the window in the outer hall, with an empty bowl in front of the old man's table, and the guy standing on the side grabbed his wheelchair with his hand, looking depressed.
"What's going on?" Secretary Wang couldn't help muttering, and a few diners outside also looked away. The guy said: "Everyone, it's not me who bullies the elderly, you give this reason: This uncle has been coming to our village for more than half a month, and he always comes here to eat without saying anything, and he doesn't give a penny! I'm just a part-time worker, and I paid for his meals, even if I learned from Lei Feng, I didn't do such a trick!"
When the guy said this, many people whispered. There are customers who read jokes, those who say that the elderly have no quality, and there are customers who are full of positive energy, and those who scold the guys for not having love. But at the end of the day, no one wants to help them solve their economic problems. Yu Tingcheng also noticed this strange old man, this old man seemed to be very old, with a half-foot-long white beard, and he was spotlessly clean.
He sat in a simple homemade wheelchair, but his back was straight, his clothes were neat, his face was very clean, and his eyes were attentive, not like an old peasant in the countryside. Looking at such an old man, Yu Qingcheng also felt a little strange in his heart, because such an old man with a dusty temperament and extraordinary demeanor didn't look like a scoundrel who ate white food. Although scammers generally pay attention to their own image, Yu Qingcheng is confident that his vision will not be bad.
At this time, the old man also showed a calm smile and said to the man: "Young man, don't be so impulsive in case of trouble, I just didn't bring money, but I didn't say that I wouldn't pay the bill." He said, lightly tapping the table in front of him with his hand, "People have times when things are good, and there are times when they are difficult, so it's better to go and get a pen and paper, and I will write a word for you, or give you a painting, which can be regarded as a little heart for you to take care of me for half a month." ”
The old man's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from the people around him, and the guy showed a little angry expression.
"Give me words, and paint? Do you think you are Qi Baishi, exchange fake cabbage for my real cabbage? I don't care much about you, I can't afford to provoke an old man like you who cheats and cheats and cheats and touches porcelain everywhere. I, please go to the police station to reflect on yourself!" said the man, dragging the old man's wheelchair and about to walk out, and many people next to him also began to coax with joy. The old man also lost his initial calmness, as if he wanted to ask for help, but he couldn't pull it off.
"Young people, don't be impulsive, have something to say, don't move your hands and feet......"
"Well, please wait a minute. Yu Qingcheng looked at the old man's appearance and felt a little unbearable in his heart, as if the old man's situation was unconscious, touching some complexes deep in his heart. Slowly walked out of the room, and the people around who were originally watching the excitement saw a cadre of the army suddenly coming, and they were also much quieter. Yu Tingcheng said: "Comrade, he is young and older, don't be too embarrassed. How much he ate you, I will compensate you. ”
"Yo, chief......" The guy saw the military uniform on Yu Qingcheng's body, and immediately withered. "It's not a matter of money or money, it's just ......"
"Don't talk about it, money is not the problem, the problem is that there is no money. Yu Qingcheng shook his hand.
With a single sentence, she said the root of the matter, leaving the guy speechless. took out a small stack of red tickets from his pocket, and before he counted them, Yu Chengcheng put them in the hands of the guy. "Don't get me wrong, you listen to me. My money is not a chilling for you, to prove how noble you are, it is not easy for you to work outside to support your family. The old man has eaten white food for so long, and you didn't throw him on the street, just this is very rare, you take this money first. ”
Yu Chengcheng's words not only made the guy discouraged at once, but also made everyone present nod secretly in their hearts. No matter what the old man's reason is, he has eaten white food here for so long, and this guy has not embarrassed him too much, which is enough to see that this guy is not a bad person.
"Which unit is this, and his character is really good? He is not pretentious at all, and he is much better than those cadres who send rice and oil and take pictures!"
"I heard that this is a visit from the A company of the garrison to our village, and this is a person from the military region, not a local civil servant. ”
"How good it would be if all the leaders in the Communist Party were like this?......
"Everyone, don't look, eat, eat. Yu Qingcheng waved his hand, and the diners next to him also stopped talking and ate happily. He glanced back at the old man again, but saw that he was still so calm and clear, and he didn't show any gratitude to Yu Qingcheng for helping him out of the siege. In the end, when the old man saw that Yu Chengcheng was about to go back to the inner room, he actually laughed, and then sighed.
"This girl, you have no morals......"
The old man's words suddenly seemed to be a thunderclap on the ground, which shook the entire restaurant to silence! The guy who was about to go back to the operation room was stunned, and the surrounding diners were also stunned, even Zhang Yonghou and Wang Zhi, who were sitting in the middle room, were also stunned. Zhang Yonghou glanced at Yu Qingcheng, who stopped at the door, and then his face was not very good-looking. If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a military uniform and the old man was in a wheelchair, someone might have wanted to do it.
The atmosphere of the whole restaurant dropped to freezing point because of the old man's words, and it was a kind of ice that seemed to be burning so hot that it was about to explode. Under the nervous gaze of the diners, Zhang Yonghou and Wang walked out of the room in a few steps, and everyone's hearts tightened. Because Yu Qingcheng and the five of them were obviously the commanders and fighters of the local garrison, they went to the countryside to visit their homes, but they didn't pay attention to it and actually met such an old man who didn't know what to do.
The guy was about to step forward to say something, but Zhang Yonghou didn't look at it, and pushed him back to the operation room, not having the courage to come out again.
The old man didn't pay attention to this group of people, but just looked at Yu Chengcheng with interest.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Explain what you just said clearly, my brother didn't understand. What do you call it immoral?" Officer Wang put his hand on his glasses and looked at the old man in a wheelchair in front of him. Yu Qingcheng also came back to his senses, looking at the old man, and seemed to have a wonderful, unfathomable feeling in his heart. This is certainly not a feeling of strength, but an indescribable, inexplicable intuition.
She certainly doesn't get offended by a "no moral" remark. The practice of boxing has reached the level of Yu Chengcheng, which is equivalent to making money to the point of Wang Jianlin and Ma Yun. If someone ridicules Ma Yun for being a poor ghost, of course Ma Yun will not be angry, just listen to a joke, so Yu Chengcheng, who adheres to the virtue of the Five Constants, will naturally not deal with people. But the old man who appeared in front of her aroused her great interest.
"I said, this girl has no morals. The old man listened to Secretary Wang's words, and did not have the slightest intention of backing down, but repeated a sentence, and continued to look at Yu Qingcheng with interest with his eyes, like an old pervert.
The seniors were a little harsh in their words. Since I was a child, I have adhered to the virtues of the Five Constants, and although I can't talk about intelligence and integrity, I still have moral integrity. Yu Qingcheng saw that the people around him couldn't help it, so he hurriedly stopped everyone and took over the conversation. The old man said: "Sage Yun, first lose the way and be virtuous, and then lose virtue and talk about the five constants. Little girl, although you abide by the Five Constants, this is only the lowest human nature, and you don't even have virtue, how can you talk about it?"
"What ......" Yu Qingcheng was slightly surprised for a while, because she never imagined that she would meet such an old man in this small ravine in this poor countryside.
What is morality? It is impossible for someone who knows this word not to have it, but perhaps not for someone who really understands it.
In terms of human ethics, the great contemporaneity is the era of the Tao, the world is public, and the road is feasible. But this era was destroyed by the selfish desires of the ruling class, and it changed from a country to a family. From the Marxist point of view, it is argued that public ownership has become private ownership.
This is a manifestation of the depravity and squalor of the ruling class.
Therefore, the country talks about the Tao, and the family talks about morality.
And now that the era of morality has been destroyed, it has to educate and educate people and advocate morality. However, the morality advocated is not the same concept as the morality that people originally have, and in the end, it becomes a four-way dissimilarity, and the society is becoming more and more chaotic. Yu Tingcheng has a deep understanding that although she has her own moral bottom line, she has also done many things to enrich her own pockets in order to survive, and she can't live if she doesn't do this.
So when the old man saw Yu Chengcheng's actions, after a few words of gossip, he concluded that she was a person with "no morals".
As for the others, the old man didn't evaluate them at all. It seems that others are not even "immoral".
"Senior, are you interested in having a light meal together?" Yu Qingcheng's mind just flashed through a lot of thoughts, and others didn't know at all. Seeing that the old man's words were unpleasant, Yu Chengcheng was not surprised, but invited him to have dinner together, Zhang Yonghou and they just admired Yu Tingcheng in their hearts for his profound cultivation and did not care about the old man. The old man was not polite, pushed the wheelchair into the inner room, sat down at Yu Qingcheng's table, and began to eat.
The old man seemed to be still hungry, so it tasted delicious, and the people outside also looked at it with their necks hooked, shaking their heads and whispering from time to time, not knowing what they were thinking. Director Wang and the others had no choice but to go back to the room with Yu Tingcheng and sit down, watching this old man who was old and disabled playing a scoundrel, and they couldn't say anything for a while. It's just that the atmosphere was ruined by this old man, and the conversation couldn't go on.
