Chapter 114: Knowing that you can't do it

Zhang You sent Zhang Jialin home alone, Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed, and scolded her daughter in front of him, and left him for supper, and then let him leave.

He was woken up by Ergou with a dog tail flower, and after sneezing a few times, he was completely awake, but he saw that Ergou had already hid at the door, holding on to the door frame and smiling evilly, revealing a mouth full of snow-white teeth.

He smiled bitterly, and beckoned to Ergou: "Stinky boy, if I don't clean you up for a few days, my skin is itchy again, right?" Is your stepfather better? ”

Ergou was actually not afraid of Zhang You, and when he saw him get up, he hurriedly came over to help him put on his shoes, and said in his mouth: "My mother applied medicine to my father-in-law, and she thought I was troublesome and kicked me out." ”

Zhang You is not used to being served, especially a three- or four-year-old doll, shrunk his feet, and said unhappily: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, I don't need you to serve me, why don't you listen?" ”

Ergou grabbed Zhang You's feet, stubbornly put his shoes on him, kept his mouth, and said in a milky voice: "My mother said, you are our benefactor, or a big official, you have to serve you well." ”

Zhang You couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Your father was only one level shorter than me when he was alive, what kind of official am I?" ”

In the end, it was a child, and he was very proud when he heard this, and grinned: "It turns out that it is only one level away, I will say, my father is very capable, he can catch birds for me, and he can make kites, but unfortunately my mother said that he went to a far, far away place, and I don't know when he will come back." Daddy is so bad, he doesn't say come back to see me......"

Speaking of this, his small* mouth was flattened, but he raised his chin and did not shed tears.

Such a strong child, Zhang You has never seen him cry, so he couldn't help but rub his head lovingly and comforted him: "Don't worry, your father misses you too, and will come back to see you sooner or later." ”

Ergou nodded vigorously, but said in his mouth: "Is it fun to be far away?" Why hasn't Daddy come back after going for so long? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's fun or not, there are some things that you have to do, just like you have to eat when you're hungry and you have to sleep when you're sleepy." When he said this, Zhang You was in a very heavy mood, because he knew that what happened to Ergou was just a small microcosm. Singing and dancing is just the appearance of the empire, the etiquette is broken, corruption is rampant, and the people's livelihood is the reality of the empire today.

This is an era when he did not dare to tell the truth, Geng Zhong asked for the people's lives, insisted on justice, and paid the price with his life. Hai Jui is fortunate to be able to live until now, but not because of his integrity and selflessness, but because the ruler needs to have someone like him to set off his wisdom.

There are many disadvantages, and there is a long way to go before the empire is truly bright.

"I understand," Ergou nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Daddy often says, 'Do it when you know you can't do it', that's what you mean, right?" ”

"Your father is a great person, there are too many people who know this sentence, but how many can really do it?" Li Wenjin suddenly walked in from outside.

"Yes, I know I can't do it, which reminds me of a person who once told me a little story about a fire in a glacier, and after being discovered, there are two choices, one is to stay in the glacier, then it will be frozen out. There is also an option, which is to take the person who was found out of the glacier, and as a result, it will naturally continue to burn until it is extinguished......"

"Let's guess, that fire must have chosen the latter, just like Geng Zhong, even if it perishes, it will burn and perish, right?"

Ergou didn't know why, but Zhang You nodded heavily, absorbing energy from Lu Xun's "Dead Fire" that he suddenly remembered, and said to Li Wenjin with high morale: "That person also said a sentence, he said to me, 'You young people's hard work is based on the premise that the light will inevitably come, I am not, I have never had hope for the future, and the reason why I struggle is just to make trouble with the darkness. 'Father, I want to be like him. ”

These words are somewhat esoteric, but they are actually very understandable. Light refers to the nature of equality, liberation, prosperity and strength, while darkness naturally refers to the ideological rule of feudal dictatorship that has pressed on the heads of the people for thousands of years.

The reason why Lu Xun is known as a great thinker, writer and revolutionary is because he has spent his life deeply reflecting on the spirit of the Chinese people and resisting the darkness tenaciously. In the historical period of China's transition from feudal autocracy to modern civilization in the 20 th century, we should thoroughly reflect on the spirit of the Chinese people under feudal confinement for thousands of years, urge the Chinese people to break out of the cage of thought, obtain spiritual emancipation, achieve spiritual independence and freedom of thought, and thus correctly understand themselves and the world, determine their proper position in the world and the correct strategy of standing on their own feet among the nations of the world, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

And Zhang You's current situation, how is it different from him? If you want the empire to be truly strong, don't you have to find a way to change people's inherent thinking?

Li Wenjin didn't seem to understand, but he felt that Zhang You was a person with great ambitions, which made him very pleased, and he didn't ask who the person who said those words was, but just patted him on the shoulder and said: "As a father, I don't know what you want to do, but what you want to do, as long as you don't rebel, our family will support you in anything." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law," Zhang You said with some gratitude, and then suddenly smiled: "Since you support the child in everything, can you tell the child about Li Rongconcubine?" ”

Li Wenjin was slightly stunned, and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, I went to visit the kiln last night for a long time, no wonder I came back so late." In fact, if you don't ask our family, you have to find a chance to tell you, otherwise, do you think you can meet Li Yan? ”

Zhang You thought about it, is this really the case, with Li Yan's kung fu, it is not as simple as drinking cold water to hide from himself? The first time I went to Yichun Garden, didn't she run away?

Listening to Li Wenjin's meaning, it seems that last night's meeting was agreed by him, yes, now he is his own father-in-law, a little secret, there is no need to hide it from himself anymore.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but become more and more curious, what is the relationship between his high-powered cheap father-in-law and Wang Jinxia and their master and apprentice?

"Hungry, huh? That's a long story, let's just talk while eating. Li Wenjin didn't talk about it right away, but instructed Ergou: "Go and inform the kitchen and ask them to send a wine and food, our family is going to have a long talk with your Uncle Zhang." ”

Ergou was already dizzy when he heard it, but he was a little afraid of Li Wenjin and didn't dare to leave.

It didn't take much time, and a few small firefighters carried food boxes into the door, put the wine and food on the table one by one, and filled the two of them with wine respectively.

"Father-in-law, can you talk about it now?" Zhang You smiled bitterly.

Li Wenjin smiled narrowly, raised his glass and said, "What's the hurry?" Come on, let's do this first, and it's never too late to talk about it! ”

Zhang You had no choice but to pick up the wine glass, but his heart became more and more itchy.
