Chapter 13: The Red Square
Zhou Tianle listened to Ai Xuexue say this, and he felt that Ai Xuexue didn't seem to be angry, but like he was showing off, a little happy, and a little proud. That's right, isn't it a kind of happiness to be pursued like this, love is crazy in the depths, and Zhou Tianle is a little envious of Ai Xuexue.
When drinking and chatting, men tend to speak their minds. What's going on in society lately? The news of helping the elderly who fell down and being falsely accused is undoubtedly the most talked about recently.
Zhou Tianle thought that if he encountered this kind of thing, he should not help it, because he couldn't afford it, and the money his parents had worked hard to earn was not enough for the child to help the elderly outside.
Zhou Tianle couldn't understand, what happened to this society? Lesions? Where are the traditional Chinese virtues, helping the elderly who have fallen down is a fine virtue of respecting the old and loving the young that has been passed down from China for thousands of years. Now the thousand-year-old virtue has been defeated by money, which is the sadness of Chinese culture.
Zhou Tianle looked at Ai Xuexue and asked, "Ai Xuexue, can you help you?"
Ai Xuexue thought for a while and said: "I don't know, I should be able to help, if I really encounter such a thing, I'm afraid I won't have time to think about anything else, so I will subconsciously help."
Zhou Tianle thought to himself: "After thousands of years, China's traditional virtues have penetrated into the bones of the Chinese?"
Zhou Tianle then asked Xiang Youda and said, "Youda, can you help you?" ”
You Da thought about it for longer than Ai and said, "Help."
Zhou Tianle knew in his heart that although You Da said to help, he had no bottom in his heart, he wanted to help but was afraid of being falsely accused. Zhou Tianle took a sip of wine and said, "What's wrong with the old man now? Don't they know how much of an impact their behaviour can have on young people? This is challenging the bottom line of traditional Chinese virtues. If this bottom line is breached, the old man falls to the ground, and the young people around him are coming and going without anyone reaching out to help, how terrible such a world is, it will be the sorrow of human nature. ”
Ai Xuexue said to Zhou Tianle: "China's traditional culture? What is Culture? Tianle, what do you think is culture? Ai Xuexue likes to listen to Zhou Tianle's views on some things, although what Zhou Tianle said is not necessarily right, but he always feels that his views are very chic.
Zhou Tianle thought for a while and said: "Knowledge and culture are different, but knowledge and culture are interconnected, and knowledge will gradually form culture." For example, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the existence of the Forbidden City is culture, but the construction of the Forbidden City is knowledge, knowledge belongs to the individual, but culture belongs to the nation, and knowledge creates culture and serves culture. ”
Ai Xuexue asked You Da again: "What do you think?"
"Culture is inherited, and knowledge creates wealth," You said.
The three of them laughed, because the wealth you said was so important, most people were thinking about how to use knowledge to make money, and only a few people were passing on culture.
Then You Da gave the simplest and most realistic example, he said: "Do you know what is the saddest? You talked about a girlfriend and wanted to go further in your relationship with her, but found that you didn't even have the money to go out with your girlfriend to open a house, what kind of relationship are you talking about? This is the beginning, and in the end, when the two of you want to get married, the gift money, the three golds, the house, the car, the savings, and what you can get married. ”
Zhou Tianle and Ai Xuexue looked at each other, because You Da's emotions were extremely intense when he said this, as if he was talking about himself. The two wondered if something had happened to him and Chen Juntong?
You Da didn't seem to be happy yet, poured a glass of wine into his mouth, suddenly looked at Ai Xuexue and said: "This society is realistic, even if you get the first place in the exam every time you go from kindergarten to college graduation, and get a certificate every year." In the end, I found that I still didn't have a dime materially, did you smash your mother-in-law in the face with stacks of awards when you proposed marriage? Do you want to use these stacks of awards to marry her daughter, dream about you. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Tianle pondered: Do we enter the university to inherit culture? Or do you come to learn knowledge and create wealth?
Ai Xuexue took a sip of wine in a daze and said: "Not really, although the society is very realistic, I still believe that there is true love in this world, and this love has nothing to do with money."
Zhou Tianle looked at the two of them and said: "Can you not talk about this topic, this is far from us, girlfriend is troublesome, isn't it good to live alone now, in a few years when you reach the age of marriage, you will go on a blind date, simple and clear, you can succeed, you can't succeed." No one owes anyone, and with affection comes a debt. ”
You Da looked at Zhou Tianle and asked, "Do you think there is any difference between free love and blind date?"
Zhou Tianle thought for a while and said, ": The difference? It's not the same. The same is married and lived, the difference is that one lives a love life and the other lives a real life. ”
At this time, Zhou Tianle was very sure that something must have happened to You Da and Liu Chen Juntong.
The wine has been drunk, and even the red wine in You Da's private collection was taken out by Zhou Tianle, and this bottle of red wine You Da has always said that it was prepared for Chen Juntong. As a rule, after drinking, it is time to "watch a movie". But this time, Zhou Tianle suddenly said that just seeing what is the use, practice is king. You Da and Ai Xuexue pointed at Zhou Tianle and laughed "hehe", only You Da has a girlfriend among the three of them. But he denied that he had a relationship with Chen Juntong, and kept threatening that he was still a virgin, and Zhou Tianle and Ai Xuexue also said again and again: Who is not!
Zhou Tianle said drunkly: "There should be a breakthrough on the road of life, and it is time to make a breakthrough."
The three of them laughed and staggered out of school with the strength of their wine. If you drink high, you will not be yourself.
Ai Xuexue asked, "Where are we going to break through?"
Zhou Tianle said with a drunken smile: "There is a very realistic and obscure problem in this society, that is, the physiological needs of the majority of migrant workers. There are hundreds of millions of migrant workers in China, who have left their hometowns to earn a living, far away from their parents, wives and children, and can only return home to reunite with their relatives during the Chinese New Year. ”
You Da smiled and said: "Haha, there are thousands of college students in China, how can we solve such a problem?"
Ai Xuexue asked, "Yes, then how to solve this problem?"
Zhou Tianle raised his finger, pointed to a certain place and said, "Red Square."
There is a shop near the large construction site that Zhou Tianle passed by before, which is only open at night, and red gauze is hung in front of the store, and the workers call this place "Red Square". Zhou Tianle didn't know what it was at first, but once when he was eating noodles at Mo Xiang's house, he overheard the workers talking about the Red Square, and then he realized that it was a place that never appeared in the students' textbooks. Today, with the strength of wine, he brought You Da and Ai Xuexue together.
After the construction site, after Mo Xiangjia, go about 300 meters further and turn right at the intersection into a small alley. There were several doors on one side of the alley, and red gauze was hung in front of the door, and several women could be vaguely seen sitting in the red square. Zhou Tianle looked at Ai Xuexue and You Da with the rest of his eyes, and they all had panicked expressions on their faces. He knew that his expression must be the same as theirs now, because he could hear his own heart pounding.
The three of them regretted it, after all, they were still students, how could they come to such a place? Frustration, failure, and confusion are things that students will experience, and life is not about experiencing setbacks, failures, and confusion, and finally seeing the direction.
Zhou Tianle thought as he walked. You Da is a person who has a girlfriend, he may have chosen to flee because of love and loyalty, Ai Xuexue has received authentic and traditional ideological education since he was a child, a typical three-good student, maybe because of the conflict between his behavior just now and the ideological education he received. But what about yourself? Girlfriend girlfriend doesn't have a girlfriend, I can't study, I came to college all the way to college, why did I choose to escape, why did I run away just now, why was I so unproductive, what are you afraid of? Nervous about what?
A cold wind blew, and the three of them wrapped their clothes tightly, and Zhou Tianle thought at this time that maybe every man retains an innocence in his heart.
