Chapter 304: How to Get, How to Lose
Just as he was thinking about it, he looked up and found that Xia Hua had returned to the living room at some point, and was looking at him stunned with his hands on his cheeks, and he was suddenly startled: "Why do you walk without sound, like a cat?" β
"I practiced dance when I was a child, and I was as light as a swallow." Xia Hua smiled faintly, and there was a hint of melancholy between her eyebrows, "Shi De, you are really a good person, a great good person, but why do I feel sad?" Your care for Moon Qingying, from career to life, has been taken care of. Your care for Biyou is also meticulous from career to life. You seem to be very good to everyone, but to me, but you are very indifferent, as if I am an inconsequential passerby, yes, a passerby who is worse than a passer-by. β
Shi De smiled, it is rare that Xia Hua can say in one breath that the heavenly stem is A, B, C, D, and hexeng, Xin and Ren, ordinary people really can't remember, he deliberately said earnestly: "Comrade Xiao Xia, don't be jealous of my good to Qingying and Biyou, and don't take care of Ying and self-pity, you have to see a reality, Qingying's father, Uncle Yue, is now encountering the biggest promotion problem in her life, she is very confused and helpless." Biyou is even more pitiful than her, not only abandoned by her biological parents, but also deceived by her biological parents, and now she is also burdened with huge debts, there may be a prison sentence, you and them, you have a happy family, there are parents who love you deeply, and Uncle Xia is the next secretary of the municipal party committee, the road to the official career is bright, in general, your life is full of sunshine and flowers, and Qingying and Biyou's life is full of dark clouds and thorns, you say, you compete with them again, how can you bear it? β
"Who's competing with them for favor? Listen to what you mean, it seems that I and Qingying and Biyo are your harem? Che, if you really think you are the emperor, man, your name is Master of Adultery. The sadness in Xia Hua's eyes disappeared in an instant, she changed back to her original appearance, and waved her hand impatiently, "I have all the things about Qingying and Biyou in mind, if I have the opportunity to help them, I will definitely help, I am much more generous than you." β
Shi De smiled, he didn't answer Xia Hua's words again, he didn't bother to refute Xia Hua, he didn't say that Xia Hua couldn't do it, but he didn't want to fight meaninglessly, mainly because he was not in the mood now.
At noon, when it was time to eat, Xia You didn't come back, and called back, saying that he was accompanying the leader and couldn't get out. Its implementation is also expected to be Xia You is estimated not to come back, with the level of Xia You, accompanied by the heavyweight leaders of the provincial party committee, under normal circumstances, whether the leaders of the provincial party committee are working inspections or meeting foreign guests, the time will not be short.
Xia You was not there, Shi De, Xia Hua and Zheng Wenting went to the table to eat, and the steaming freshly baked buns not only looked good, but also surprised Shi De that the steamed buns were delicious and delicious, which greatly surprised him, so that he was full of praise and ate three or four in one go.
Zheng Wenting was very happy to see that her buns were very popular, and said in front of Xia Hua: "Alas, it's better to have a son, the son can eat, and the mother also has a sense of accomplishment." It's like you, when I was a child, I ate so little every time, I was so worried. β
"Mom, I'm not short now, I'm healthy, my IQ is normal, and I haven't been affected by the lack of food when I was a child, so don't turn over the sesame seeds and rotten grains anymore, just expose my shortcomings when I was a child in front of outsiders, I thank you." Xia Hua gave Zheng Wenting a big roll of her eyes in return rather dissatisfied, turned her head and smiled at Shi De again, "Eating less is to save food for human beings, right?" When I think that there are still hundreds of millions of people living in dire straits, I can't sit at the table and can't eat. I gritted my teeth when I thought that some fat people ate so much at every meal, that they were literally food-consuming machines, and that they took up more space when they walked on the bus, and that they were prone to damage their beds and chairs...... Shi De, I don't think you have a lot of food, are you also worried about the 1.5 billion poor people in the world and can't sleep at night? β
Zheng Wenting was amused by Xia Hua's tricks: "When you talk about the poor people, I remember a rumor when I was a child, saying that there was a place that gave birth to a boy three years before the natural disaster, and the boy was born to speak, and died after only one sentence......
"Ah, and a child who can talk when he is born, isn't it a monster?" Xia Hua's eyes widened in surprise, "I seem to be more than a year old before I can speak, right?" β
"Go aside, don't make trouble." Zheng Wenting scolded Xia Hua with a smile, and said, "What the boy said is that the gold and silver mountains are empty, and a handful of millet can save lives...... At that time, no one knew what the road meant, and they said that the boy was a monster, so he threw the dead boy into the wilderness. As a result, the harvest began to run out on a large scale that year, and many people starved to death......"
Shi nodded heavily, although he had not experienced the so-called three-year natural disaster, he had also heard his stepmother and He Ye tell him about that period of history, and he knew what kind of catastrophe the Chinese people experienced at that time. In fact, according to the laws of heaven, and then inferred from the law of the unity of heaven and man, natural disasters are caused by man-made disasters. First of all, when people's hearts are broken, they will be inspired to come to heaven and earth. If people's hearts are wholehearted, then it must be a good year with beautiful wind and sunshine and good weather.
So there is a saying that is right, three parts of natural disasters, seven points of man-made disasters. The way of heaven is the fairest, it will never send disasters for no reason, and it will not treat the common people in the world equally, and will not favor one place or one place. When a disaster comes, do not complain about the bad karma and waste the blessings, but to strive for self-improvement, self-reliance, tenacious self-help, and then focus on goodness, which will inevitably turn the crisis into safety and become auspicious.
If in the face of disasters, you will only point to the heavens and the earth, and will only sit and wait for relief, and do not know that you will find the reason from yourself, repent and reform, and abandon evil and promote good, which is equivalent to eating a trench and not growing wise, falling and not picking up a single one, sooner or later, you will fall on the spot, and the fall will be heavier than the last time.
If a person understands such a truth - whether the surrounding environment is beautiful or dirty, whether the people around you are friendly or vicious, in fact, are the true projection of your heart, then you will fundamentally correct your mind, start from the heart, correct from the source, and finally succeed in changing your life.
"When I think about one thing, I think it's particularly funny, it's very funny, when I was a child, I took political classes, and political books always said that the people of capitalist countries are living in dire straits, and we will save them when we grow up. At that time, I was very stupid and naΓ―ve, and I really thought that I would be the savior of the people of the capitalist countries in the future. As a result, when I grew up, I realized that I was brainwashed, and the person who really lived in dire straits was ourselves. Xia Hua said while leaning back and back, "I think that at that time, the people of the whole country were living in obscenity, fantasizing about how beautiful and happy their lives were, even if they were wearing torn cotton jackets with loopholes and old cotton shoes with exposed toes, drinking cornmeal batter and eating pickles, but they were discussing the historical mission of saving the world, but I didn't know that the people of capitalist countries had already lived in villas and drove cars, and it is estimated that they looked at us at that time, just like humans who had successfully evolved looked at monkeys that were still evolving......
"How do you speak, where is there anyone who scolds himself for being a monkey? Dead girl! Zheng Wenting was extremely dissatisfied with Xia Hua's metaphor.
Shi De, like Xia Hua's education, was also brainwashed back then, thinking that looking at the entire world, only the Chinese people were happy, and the people of other countries lived in darkness, but when they grew up, they found that they had been deceived. From then on, he never believed in any textbooks again.
The practice of self-promotion and foolish policies is actually very stupid, and no matter how successful the brainwashing as a child is, the fabricated illusion will also fall apart in the face of the facts when you grow up. The huge contrast between the illusion and the reality will make every brainwashed person extremely disgusted with the previous education, and will never believe the official statement again. It's like a child who has been deceived by his parents since he was a child, and when he grows up, he will have a very strong rebellious psychology and will no longer obey his parents.
Chinese people who have been fooled by fabricated illusions and fabricated history, but who have awakened consciousness and become elites, will overturn the education they have received before. It should be said that the education promoted in China is a complete failure.
Although Shi De is also a victim of political education, and he is also a top student of a famous university, he also does not agree with the current situation of education in China, not only the level is not good, but also stifles the creativity and imagination of many people.
Sometimes, Shi De is reluctant to think deeply about the major issues of the future of the country and the nation, but in fact, everyone who reads history knows a truth: how a political regime is established is usually lost. If it is the cause, if it is the effect, it is not bad at all. In the same way, if a regime overemphasizes something, it will often lose something, such as the Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature over military force, so the Song Dynasty has always been weak. For example, the Qing Dynasty has always been a literary prison, so the Qing Dynasty has not had many poems handed down for hundreds of years.
Those who fabricate history will eventually be wiped out by fabricated history. Whoever fools the people will not escape the fate of being fooled by the people. Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans, the cycle of heaven is not happy at all.
"The buns are so delicious, Auntie, if I come to the house in the future and still want to eat the buns, you can give me the buns again, okay?" Shi De didn't want to discuss too many heavy topics, so he returned to the issue of eating, mainly because Zheng Wenting's buns tasted very similar to his stepmother's buns, which made him eat the taste of his hometown and childhood, and he was full of emotion for a while.
