In the Cheeselin Restaurant, it is still so opulent and smiling, but there are fewer and fewer people dining. The business downturn has a lot to do with the current political movement. You sit quietly at the table, gazing contemplatively at my meal, with a faint smile on your lips all the time.

I was eating deliciously, and suddenly I noticed that you didn't eat or drink, so I stopped my knife and fork and asked, "Why don't you eat?" You smiled softly: "Look at you gobbling up, leaning on it badly, right?" I couldn't help laughing: "Every meal is a nest, a piece of pickles, so hungry that I want to gnaw on the wall." Tears gleam in your eyes: "Then order two more dishes!" I hurriedly said, "Don't pass the good days all at once, let's go on a long time!" You sneered and said, "Do you want to eat me for the rest of your life?" I stopped eating, looked at you and said, "Yes! It's really exciting! You're not going to laugh at me, are you? In the future, I may not be able to build you a nest of gold and silver, but I will certainly be able to build you a small nest of comfort. ”

You looked at me silently, nodded, then raised your hand and snapped your fingers at the waitress in a dashing manner. The waitress immediately came over and politely asked what else was needed? You say, "Another foie gras pie and a cream toast." The waitress said please wait a moment, and left lightly. I almost screamed, "You're going to kill me!" You smiled and said, "You have suffered for me, shouldn't you be rewarded?" ”

I put down my knife and fork and said with a look of shame, "I have suffered by myself. I can't think of any idea, but I have such a bad idea. It wasn't you who saved me, I'm still gnawing at the trumpet! But I just don't know, how did you get me out? I asked the policeman Xiao Huang, but he refused to tell me, just bluffed me and told me to treat you well in the future and never bully you for the rest of my life. Xiao Ya, I don't need to be told by the policeman Xiao Huang, I will be good to you for the rest of my life! ”

At this time, the waitress brought foie gras pie and cream toast mix.

You push the two new dishes to me and say, "Eat, don't think about those troubles!" Who didn't grow up like this? I suddenly patted my head and said, "Look at my pig brain!" Xiao Huang, a police officer, said that he told me to leave the police station and go to the neighborhood committee to say hello first. As soon as I saw you, I forgot everything. You can't help but say, "In the past, I really didn't take the neighborhood committee seriously, but now I know that you can't underestimate it." That cripple, why is he so arrogant? I said dismissively, "I didn't treat him as a garlic at all!" A clown who jumps off the beam, he thinks it's good. One day tell me to grab the handle, he looks good! ”

The two of us chatted while eating, and before we knew it, two hours had passed. I was full of wine and food, and I had the energy to be happy, and I had already thrown the encounter in the iron window out of the clouds. However, I forgot what I had done, and the lame man did not.

Later, I heard from a neighbor that the cripple was in the office of the neighborhood committee, and I was going crazy waiting for me. He limped around the room, and as soon as he heard footsteps outside, he made a sacrosanct appearance toward the door. Twice again, no one came in, and the irritability surged as a result. Second Aunt Wang, who was sitting on the side, secretly laughed at him. The cripple shouted angrily: "Bao Jianming is simply incorrigible!" It is too ...... to make such a serious mistake to dare to ignore the neighborhood committee and try to evade public security supervision. It's so lawless! Aunt Wang said: "The police station didn't treat him well, why are you so angry like a purple eggplant?" The lame man pointed at Aunt Wang and said, "Confused! Confused! Although Bao Jianming was not labeled as a bad element, his behavior was in the nature of a bad element. He dares to force Ou Xiaoya today, Xia Xiaoya tomorrow, and whatever Ya the day after tomorrow! In our quiet life, are there still peaceful days? Aunt Wang said angrily: "You only hate the world and don't mess up!" ”

Just when the cripple was angry with Aunt Wang, I knocked on the door of the neighborhood committee's office.

The lame golden rooster stood alone at the door, roaring angrily: "Why did you come? I said lightly, "Dinner went." The lame man suddenly shouted angrily: "I have been waiting for you with hunger, you have eaten and drunk enough!" When you leave the police station, you should report to the neighborhood committee first, do you understand the rules? I said dismissively, "I don't understand!" The lame man was so angry that his lips trembled: "Bao Jianming!" Don't think that if the police station releases you, you'll be fine. From now on, you will report your thoughts, words and deeds to me every day, write an examination in three days, and submit a summary in five days. I was also angry: "Why? The lame man's left cheek couldn't stop shaking a few times, and said sternly: "Just because I'm the security director!" I said contemptuously, "How old are you?" Go! If you go to the police station and sue me, you will say that I am a counter-revolutionary and ask them to arrest me. Go! Go! The lame man cried hysterically: "It's against you! It's against you! Have you seen it all? This is the ugly face of young people in today's society! I slammed the table and shouted, "What's wrong with the young people? If you don't steal, don't rob, don't kill or set fire, follow the party with a red heart, who dares to say that I'm not a revolutionary youth? Who do you think you are cripple? A bunch of shit! After saying that, I didn't look at the lame man, turned around and broke the door.

I walked and walked on the main road for a long time before I got back to my cabin. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I kicked over the chair, and as a result, my foot hurt. I grinned and hugged my feet and sat down on the small iron bed. At this time, I heard a rush of footsteps up the stairs, and then the door was pushed open, and my father appeared at the door in a panic.

My dad scolded, "Little bunny! Did you sneak back? I said angrily, "Squat in and try it!" There's not even a rat hole in the room, can I escape? My dad said, "Then why did the police chase them to the house?" I couldn't help but wonder, "The police are coming?" What are the police doing again? My dad snorted and said, "Don't go yet, people are waiting for you in the big house!" I was about to lift my feet and walk outside the house, but my father grabbed me and said, "You saw that the police should be honest and not allowed to contradict people, do you hear?" We can't afford to mess with the police! I frowned, let out a muffled "um", and walked out of the room, bypassing my dad. The old man followed me and down the stairs.

I walked into the big room suspiciously, and at a glance I saw Aunt Wang and police officer Xiao Huang sitting next to the table. The lame sat across from them, crossed legs, and was spitting out mist triumphantly. As soon as I saw the lame, I was angry, and I stood at the door with a black face, and said nothing. My dad followed up on the big house, and when he saw me like that, he was afraid of annoying the police, so he slapped me and said, "When you meet a few leaders, you won't even say a kind word?" Second Aunt Wang smiled: "Jianming, your antagonism is not small!" I deliberately said in a mocking tone: "Second aunt, don't wronged me!" Sensei said that he saw the police, that is, he met the security director, and he was scared to death, and he dared to have antagonistic emotions? Police officer Xiao Huang said: "Bao Jianming, don't be so pitiful!" You dare to sing sour songs in the confinement room, what else are you afraid of? I pretended to be confused and asked, "Am I singing sour songs?" Police officer Xiao Huang said: "I'm from Shanxi, I won't be able to hear the sour song?" Don't say it, the singing is quite interesting, but it's a pity that the place is not right. Bao Jianming, let's get down to business! The party's policy is never to let go of a bad person, nor to let a good person go wrong. When you are a counter-revolutionary, you are not qualified enough. But you still have mistakes. At the very least, going to the police station to lie about the case is wasting the time and energy of the public security officers, so you should be educated properly. ”

The lame man came to his senses, puffed out his cheeks and said, "I criticize him, but he is still not convinced!" I puffed up and said, "If you treat me as a class enemy, I just won't accept it!" Police officer Xiao Huang said: "Lao Ding's working methods may be a little blunt, but after all, he is the public security director elected by the masses, and you should support his work." I said, "Tell me to report my thoughts to him every day, check every three days, make a summary every five days, and I won't do anything if I am killed!" Police officer Xiao Huang said: "Lao Ding, this is exempt!" The lame man crooked his neck and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." In order for him to remember the lesson, he must be responsible for cleaning up the garbage in the alley every day. ”

Aunt Wang was afraid that things would be stiff, so she hurriedly played a round and said, "Let's not mention the past!" Jianming, Director Ding's words really reminded me. The old Zhao Tou who fell to the soil has returned to his hometown, and he can't find a replacement for a while, so you can help for a few days first! Of course, you can't be allowed to work in vain, and at the end of the month, you will be charged two cents from door to door, which is considered your salary. I helped the neighborhood committee with this, and if there are temporary workers in the future, the first thing to consider is you. Police officer Xiao Huang said: "Bao Jianming, do the neighborhood committee a favor, I think you should respond!" My dad hurriedly said, "Comrade Huang, what a face, I agreed for him!" ”

As soon as I heard the lame man tell me to clean up the garbage in the alley, a nameless fire burst into my head. Listening to Aunt Wang's words again, the anger also fell. With the account in Yijing Lane, the monthly hygiene fee is no less than that of working as a temporary worker. Seeing that my family was so poor that I was living on my mother's salary, I didn't care about any capital crimes, so I took over the work of taking out the garbage in the alley. The face of the lame man passed, Aunt Wang solved the problem of the neighborhood committee, and I also found a temporary worker in disguise, even if everyone was happy!

On that day, I was sweating profusely and used a two-wheeled cart to drag the garbage bins out of the alley, waiting for the garbage truck to dispose of them. I saw you appear in front of me. Although I was stunned for a moment, I didn't feel a trace of embarrassment.

You frown and ask, "Why did you do this, is it a shame?" I said, "It's all lame!" You are surprised and say, "Is he really taking you for a bad guy?" I said indignantly: "He can't wait to brand all the people in the Hutong as 'rich and anti-bad right', so that he can be majestic in all directions!" You said angrily, "Baozi, let's not do this job!" I said casually, "Bear with me, bear with me, and when your business is over, I won't do it." You're in a hurry: "Baozi! Isn't this a joke for the lame to see us? I tried my best to pretend to be very calm and said, "Xiaoya, let's not see him like a cripple." Lenin said that the eagle sometimes flies lower than the chicken, but the chicken can never fly as high as the eagle. He thought that if he told me to dump the dirt box, he would be scolding me, what is this? ”

Somewhat incomprehensible, you ask, "Are you really that calm?" I deliberately said, "Of course! What do you think, I squatted in the class room for two days, but I smashed the cripple's conspiracy, do you say it's worth it? I moved dirt boxes and took out the garbage, which eased the tension with the neighborhood committee, do you say it is worth it? The ancestor said well, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. When your aunt and uncle are safe, you are happy; When you're happy, I'm happy. Don't you want me to be happy? ”

When I said this, your heart was so warm that tears almost flowed out. You said movingly: "Baozi, this is all my fault!" I smiled and said, "If you don't cause some trouble, how can you test that I am truly good to you?" With tears in your eyes, you couldn't help but laugh, and without saying anything, you ran to buy me some ice cream, and told me, "Take it easy, don't get tired!" I nodded, wiped my sweat, and gulped down the ice cream.

Later, I heard Aunt Wang say that that night, you knocked on the door of her house. At that time, Aunt Wang and her husband Huang Shouxin were sitting cross-legged on the bed playing cards. The faces of both people were covered with thin strips of paper. Aunt Wang spread the playing cards in her hand on the bed, pulled off the note on her face, and walked over with her shoes to give you a seat enthusiastically, and asked you what was the matter with a smile. You stood there a little embarrassed, facing Aunt Wang and stopped. Second Aunt Wang pulled you to sit down on the edge of the bed and said, "Xiaoya, sit down!" If there is anything, we are not outsiders. You sat down and said a little babblingly, "Second aunt, I'...... I want to ...... I want to ask you for something, but I don't know if you can say yes? ”

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "You haven't said anything yet, how do I know if I should agree?" You said with a little twist: "Second aunt, then I'll say it, don't laugh at me." Can you change the way of punishment, don't ask Bao Jianming to dump the dirt box. Aunt Wang deliberately asked: "Isn't it good to dump the dirt box?" You say, "Of course, in socialism, labor is the most glorious." But Bao Jianming is an admitted college student after all, and it's not good to dump dirt boxes in the alley? Aunt Wang asked bluntly: "Are you afraid of losing face, or do you feel sorry for Bao Jianming?" Your face turned red all of a sudden, and you said embarrassedly, "It's all ...... All of them! Huang Shouxin said with some indignation: "Your neighborhood committee is too inappropriate!" What kind of crime did Jianming commit, so he punished people for dumping dirt boxes? ”

Aunt Wang said: "You will be uneven!" asked Jianming to pour out the dirt box, I don't care what others think, but I sincerely help him solve his family difficulties. Bao Bohan's family of five relied on Chen Shuyu's salary of dozens of yuan, and their lives were tight. Ask Bao Jianming to clean up the garbage, and he can get dozens of yuan a month to make up for his days, is it bad? Bao Bohan hasn't paid for the house for two years, do you know? A few dozen yuan is not much, but if you get it to Bao Jianming's house, it is life money. Miss Xiaoya, you are a child of a wealthy family, and you can't understand the hard life of a poor family! ”

Huang Shouxin was still unconvinced and said: "Xiao Ya is such an honest child, she can't think of doing stupid things for a while, and she can't comfort her, you still have to go to the parents of the whole family, it's too impersonal, right?" Aunt Wang said: "That's Lao Ding's idea, can you blame the neighborhood committee!" If I hadn't stopped him, he would have gone a long time ago. Huang Shouxin said: "You, you, my director of the neighborhood committee!" You have to watch out for that guy, he's a chameleon...... If you can help Jianming change an errand, just change it! Aunt Wang sighed and said, "It's good to have a job of pouring dirt boxes." How difficult it is to find a temporary job now! Miss Xiaoya, the second aunt said something you don't like to hear, if you really want to be good with Jianming, you have to put down the shelf and be an ordinary person. ”

Since then, you have not brought me any more about emptying the clay boxes. There are so many households in the alley, and I don't know how much garbage has to be cleaned up every day. I was busy from morning to night, sweeping a few alleys clean. The aunts and uncles all praised me for being a good and diligent boy, and except for the lame man who rolled his eyes at me, almost no one discriminated against me. However, our date time can only be changed to after dusk.

I am very conscious, every time I go to an appointment, I wash myself clean, and I deliberately spray some toilet water, for fear that the smell of garbage on my body will smoke you. You understand my good intentions. However, the flower water is used to repel mosquitoes and insects, and the fragrance is too strong, and it is also a joke to spray it on the body as perfume. So, you bought me a bottle of L'Oréal French perfume, and the fragrance on my body is light and long, and it lasts for a long time. There was also a misunderstanding about this. My dad thought I was learning badly from you, pursuing a bourgeois lifestyle, and almost didn't whip me with the soles of his shoes.

I remember that day when we watched the movie at the Dawn Cinema, it was already dark. Yi Jing was quiet, only to see that under the dim street lamp, the lame man was limping with two street aunts wearing red armbands of "public security", vigilantly patrolling the alley. We avoided their gaze and went home.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard laughter and laughter coming from the house. It turned out that there were a few of my father's friends in my house. There are those who sing Tsing Yi, those who sing old students, and those who sing with flower faces. They came to "Detective II" comfortably, and when they were too addicted to the drama, they sat down to talk about interesting things in Liyuan. When my father saw me coming back, on a whim, he called me to the big house and insisted that I sing a cappella. I understand the old man's heart, he wants to show off in front of my friends. I thought to myself, anyway, it's okay to be idle here, so let's coax the old man to be happy!

My dad beat gongs and drums in his mouth, and he shook his head habitually and pulled the door open. The door was so loud that it won the applause of the room. My uncle is Yang Baozhong's apprentice, and my father's beautiful tricks were learned from my uncle. He worked so hard, so I took out all my tricks, and in front of several of his theater friends, I came to a beautiful piece of "Zhao's Orphan". As soon as I opened my mouth, I won a jackpot. I'm happy, my dad is even happier, this is because he taught his son well! My dad shook his head and played the huqin, and when he got to the point of pride, he smiled at me and shook his head. I know it's my daddy's reward for me. After a drama was sung, I won a full applause. Everyone inevitably complimented me, the shelf-faced uncle, threatened to accept me as an apprentice.

Suddenly, I noticed that the old man shrugged his nose, as if he had smelled something. I saw him glance at Sister Tsing Yi sitting next to him, and returned to normal. I was a little fluttering by a few seniors at the time, so I didn't pay attention to why my father was fanning his nose. After a while, the guests politely dispersed.

My dad fanned his nose again and said, this French perfume is so powerful, people have been gone for a long time, and the fragrance is still here. I became alert, and it turned out that my father thought that the smell of L'Oreal French perfume was emanating from Sister Tsing Yi. I hurriedly raised my legs and left, but was suddenly grabbed by my father, stretched out his nose to sniff on me, and slapped me on the head: "Little rabbit, it turned out to be the fox smell on your body!" I saw my dad bending down and taking off a shoe to whip me, so I hurriedly ran away, and I heard my dad shouting behind my back, "You bastard, you have no money to spend!" ”

Later, my mom explained to my dad that you bought the perfume for me to cover the rancid smell of garbage on my body. When my dad heard that it wasn't the family's money, he pulled it down. But I don't know which god in my family told this story, and it was spread all over the alley.
