Chapter 159: Chen Rundong Delivers Books
Chen Qi'er's brother was stunned for a while and took the money.
"This is for my brother." Chen Qier said: "I hope that my brother can use this money to marry a daughter-in-law, or do some small business, and don't just care about traveling around." β
"Good sister, brother knows." Her brother only counted the money, looked at the money, and said shamelessly.
Chen Qi'er is tormented in her heart, the only distressed father is not at home, he is the one who deserves the most money.
Seeing that Chen Qi'er was leaving, her mother and brother were still not satisfied, and asked, "Qi'er, where did you get so much money?" β
In the face of such entanglement, Chen Qi'er knew that she couldn't hide, so she said: "Ah Lu found a job in the city, and the master's family is very good, and he gives a lot of money." β
"In this way, see if you can get your brother over, it's better than him doing nothing at home." Her mother's eyes were like mice, staring at Chen Qi'er.
Chen Qi'er knew that it was absolutely impossible, thinking that they had given enough money, they were not greedy enough, and they demanded themselves so unreasonably, which made people discouraged.
"Good sister, help my brother, if I can go to the city for a few years, I can save enough money to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law."
Chen Qi'er was silent, and only said after a while: "No." β
"Daughter, help your brother." Her mother said.
"Not really."
Zeng Fu couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly interrupted her mother and said, "Sister-in-law also has a hard time-"
"Don't!" Chen Qi'er stopped his words, afraid that he would say something that he shouldn't have said.
"What's the problem?" Her brother asked, "Is someone bullying you, brother will help you teach him." Saying this, he immediately made a menacing look.
Zeng Fu looked at his face, and almost wanted to vomit, so he turned his head.
"There's nothing to worry about, but it's really not good." Chen Qi'er almost begged them not to push themselves.
"It's not for your brother's sake, but also for the sake of the mother who pulled you into an adult, and besides, he's your own brother, what's wrong with helping you? When you were young, you didn't ask your brother to carry you, and your brother didn't hurt you everywhere......"
"Mother, brother, don't ...... I really, no-"
Her mother was unmoved in the face of Chen Qi'er's almost pleading, thinking that she might have made a lot of money, and these twenty or thirty oceans were still less, so she was not angry, and said in a strange manner: "If you get rich, you forget your ancestors, and your mother and brother don't help, and you are chic in the city, and the money you give is only enough to build a house......
These words pierced her heart like a cone, Chen Qi'er's heart was dripping blood, Chen Qi'er didn't expect her mother to say such a thing anyway, she suddenly brushed her tears, hid her face and hid behind Zeng Fu and choked.
"You've gone too far!" Zeng Fu shouted, and the mother and son trembled with fright.
Zeng Fu continued to say indignantly: "You guys are just fowl-"
"Ah Fu, don't." Chen Qi'er pulled him, wiped her tears, her eyes were red, she was pitiful, and sobbed: "It's useless to talk more." β
Chen Qi'er then opened the baggage, because after all, she didn't know if she could be infected with the plague and whether she could go back, so she brought all the money with her, and she had already given them a lot, and she only had some left, Zeng Fu knew that she still wanted to give it again, so he went to stop her.
"Ah Fu, you leave me alone." Chen Qi'er took out half of the rest of the money and handed it to her mother, saying, "Mother, brother, Qi'er doesn't know if she can see you in the future, so you can live a good life with this money." β
Her brother and mother looked stunned and felt a trace of guilt.
Chen Qi'er tied up her baggage, turned around and left with Zeng Fu, the two mothers and sons thought about it wrong, her mother said: "She wants to cut off relations with us, she has raised her for more than ten years, and this money can't be sent." β
"Mother, what should I do?" Her brother asked.
"Hmm~ I see, you quietly follow them, see what Zeng Lu is doing in the city, you go over first, this stinky girl is helpless, she will definitely find you a good errand!"
Her brother felt that it made sense, so he packed up and took a few oceans with him, but he didn't want to follow him halfway, he didn't go back, he didn't go to the city, he thought about it for a long time, and estimated that there were a few oceans, and he had never been to the city to squander in his life, so he decided to go to the city to squander.
After Zeng Fu left, Yun Yun kept accounts at home, and after a while, Aunt Li came over to pay for vegetables, and after a while, Aunt Qin also came to pay for miscellaneous daily things, and some came to pay off debts, maybe Lotus saw that Yun Yun and Fluttershy's makeup powder, rouge, etc. were gone, and she also came to pay money to buy them......
Yun Yun looked at a thick account book on the table, all of which were past accounts, as well as abacus, she didn't know how to use it, and was studying it intently, Ju An called: "Miss, someone is looking for it." β
"Who?"
Ju An didn't answer, Yun Yun got up to look, and just arrived at the door, Chen Rundong, the teacher and student he saw on Wen Tingyun's birthday, he brought a few books.
"You ββ?"
"The teacher said that the school was closed, and I was afraid that you would waste your studies, and there would be a college entrance exam next year, so I asked me to bring a few books to you to read, and study every day, so as not to be rusty."
"Oh." Yun Yun took it and looked at it, one was a national study, one was foreign Chinese, one was arithmetic, one was an introduction to natural philosophy, one was a historical study, and one was a political economy study.
"So much?" Yun Yun smiled, "I can't take the exam." β
The last three books were given by me, and if you are interested, you can take a look, which is very helpful.
"Hmm." Yun Yun took him to her study, put the book down, invited him to sit down, and asked, "Why did you send it?" β
"I discussed the problem with the teacher, and when I was about to leave, I talked about you, and the teacher said that he was worried about your study and wanted to send you a few books, so I asked your residence, and I thought I would send it to you."
"Thank you, brother."
"It's okay, I'm going to live in Beijing for a while, and during this time, I'll come to you once a week, and if you have any questions, you can discuss them with me."
"You don't live in Beijing?"
"No, my hometown is in Hunan, I went to school in Beijing, and finally went back to Hunan to go to school.
"Oh." Yun Yun was a little disappointed, although he had only met him twice, he was really impressive, no matter how you look at it, he is a person who exudes a unique temperament.
"Senior Sister Xiaoyun, right?" Chen Rundong asked.
"Yes."
"Is there a problem now? Otherwise, I'll have to leave and come back in a week. β
"Huh?" Yun Yun was at a loss, she couldn't think of any problems for a while, but she wanted to keep him for a while, so she hurriedly stammered, "Yes, yes...... One question. β
Chen Rundong looked at her with a smile, Yun Yun remembered an article she read yesterday, and said: "Some time ago, Chen Duxiu and Mr. Hu Shi both published articles in Youth Daily to discuss the ideological problems of young people. β
"Mr. Hu Shi's views are more intense, but I think their views are correct, and this is also the thought and pursuit that I think Chinese young people should have."
"Mr. Liang Qichao said that when the youth is strong, the country is strong, but the problem today is the question of how strong the teenager isββ"
"I can't get rid of the old ideas, it's not strong-"
"Don't dare to go out, close yourself and refuse to learn, it's not strong-"
β¦β¦
Yun Yun looked like an idol in the eyes, listened carefully to his high-minded talk, and listened to his free speech.
β¦β¦
"Hmm~" Yun Yun nodded thoughtfully, not knowing whether to understand or what.
"Did you say anything just to me?" Chen Rundong asked suspiciously.
"Nope." Yun Yun said with a smile.
"Well, I hope you get something out of it." Chen Rundong got up and said, "It's not early, I have to meet someone, we'll see you in a week." β
"Okay." Yun Yun sent him out, still uncontrollably happy. In addition to being excited, seeing the natural philosophy, politics and economy on the table, Yun Yun sincerely admired him.
Zhuang Yuncheng went to the factory for a morning of field inspection, he knew that what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg, he only saw the workers dragging their tired bodies to work, working lifelessly, and even working lifelessly, the enthusiasm for labor was completely wiped out, for the little life-saving money at the end of the month, working without moderation, being ruthlessly exploited and oppressed by the compradors, imperialism, and the big bourgeoisie.
"What should I do if my factory is also completed in the future, and the workers I hire will inevitably suffer this treatment?"
"In this environment, whether we set up a factory or not, we can't change the status quo of workers, listen to Jin Yu, stop it." Fluttershy says.
"Fluttershy, you know, Yun Yun asked me what my ideals were that day, I don't have big ideals, but now I have one more wish, I hope that these oppressed workers and poor people can break free from oppression and not suffer like this."
"Brotherβyouβ" Fluttershy walked side by side with him, feeling touched.
"But I found that I couldn't do anything, neither enough money to spread to the suffering, nor enough ability to help them get out of the current situation," Zhuang Yuncheng smiled bitterly, "Heaven and earth are born of people, so unfair............
"It's not heaven and earth, in the final analysis, it's still people, it's only the rulers of China who didn't make the country strong, the ambitions of foreign rulers to invade, and the people who suffer are content with poverty and even numbness."
Zhuang Yuncheng smiled, looked at Fluttershy, and said, "Even you know more than I do." β
Fluttershy smiles and shakes her head modestly.
"So, since all the status quo is caused by people, people must be able to change it, right?"
"Of course, you see, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, General Cai Yi, Mr. Huang Xing...... They are all characters who can change history and achieve great things, and those who will change the Chinese characters will appear in the future, who knows? That's why I say, don't be pessimistic, don't be discouraged, if we don't have enough ability to do anything big, then do some small things within our ability, live this life without regrets, and complete the due mission. β
Zhuang Yuncheng looked at her in surprise and said: "You can say such a thing, I am really impressed by you, I feel that we are not from the same era." β
"Am I from ancient times, or from the future?"
This was originally a joke, but Zhuang Yuncheng's face suddenly changed.
"Be carefulβ" Fluttershy pulls him back, and it turns out that a foreign car has passed in front of him, Zhuang Yuncheng breaks out in a cold sweat, forgetting what Fluttershy said, and the two of them stroll down the street and head home.
"Do you have the final decision?" Fluttershy asks.
"Not just now, after listening to your words, now that I have, I decided to fight with these people, Jin Yu said it was cruel, but I still want to experience what kind of cruelty the experience is, I want to try, if I don't compromise, what will be the consequences." Zhuang Yuncheng asked, "Do you agree?" β
"I don't agree or disagree, but no matter what you decide, I will accompany you."
Zhuang Yuncheng took her hand, "Where can I find such a good person as you." He looks at Fluttershy and says with emotion.
"What do you think, I'm right here."
Zhuang Yuncheng palpitated for a while, "But I'm afraid of losing." He said to himself.
Fluttershy shakes his hand tighter, as if to say, "You won't lose me".
