Chapter III

Shichahai Ice Rink was the most fashionable place to go back then, and you shouldn't be too publicistic when you get here, because this is the place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and the big "share" of the master is. If you see an inconspicuous guy on the ice rink yelling at you, don't underestimate the enemy, because this guy is a well-known stubborn guy in the area on his doorstep.

Zhong Yuemin had seen one, this old man must come every night, he was dressed in rags, wearing a Shaoxing-style torn felt hat, and a torn blue cloth apron tied around his waist. His skates are also very peculiar, they are actually a pair of felt boots common in the Northeast, and a pair of black dragon brand ball knives are tied to the felt boots horizontally and vertically with hemp rope. This man's skating skills are excellent, and he can effortlessly perform a variety of difficult maneuvers to attract crowds of onlookers. Once he and Zhong Yuemin played ice hockey together, he held an ice hockey stick with the ball like a loach and ran around the court, surrounded and intercepted by Zhong Yuemin and other seven or eight people. Before this, Zhong Yuemin had always thought that he was a master, but this time he was stupid, and he didn't even touch the ball for a long time. Later, he learned that this person was nicknamed "Sanyuanzi" and was the stubborn master of the Western Single Belt. He is a garbage sweeper, and he has to work the night shift after the rink ends, and his job is to shovel the garbage onto the truck, and then follow the truck to the suburban garbage dump to unload the truck. This person has the demeanor of a "broken generation", with tattered work clothes as fashionable, and looks unconventional among the generals' military uniforms. Don't look at this Sanyuan Zi as a garbage worker, the "veterans" and hooligans buy his account. Once a group of newcomers came to the ice rink, and when they saw Sanyuanzi dressed like a beggar, they wanted to make fun of him, but they were angry and were beaten by the No. 100 stubborn master.

If the Beijing recalcitrant in 1968 did not go to the ice rink, then he would not be qualified to call himself a stubborn master. In addition to the function of playing and plucking, the ice rink also has a very important function, that is, socializing. Since the stubborn masters are people in the rivers and lakes, they always have to make friends with heroes from all over the world, and the more people you know, the greater your share. If you want to be a famous person among the stubborn masters, in addition to being righteous and making a wide range of friends, you must also be ruthless, otherwise who will obey you? is like Song Jiang in "Water Margin", just knowing how to practice mouth and fake righteousness, and he doesn't have any kung fu, this kind of person will not be able to eat in 1968.

Every time Zhong Yuemin came to the ice rink, he couldn't skate for the first half hour, he had to socialize first. He has too many acquaintances, and he has exhausted the courtesies, shaking hands with this one, smoking a cigarette with that one, if there are two stubborn bosses he knows at the same time, he has to be a peacemaker, and make peace with both sides. His self-esteem is relatively strong, if one party doesn't give him face and insists on fighting, Zhong Yuemin will feel that the other party is not very sensible, and he won't even give Zhong Yuemin face, isn't this looking for a beating? He often joined the battle on the basis of persuasion, helping one side and the other to get up.

Yuan Jun was a pure militant, he was so excited when he saw others fighting, it didn't matter who he fought with, the slogan "Focus on participation" a few years later, Yuan Jun had already practiced it.

Zhong Yuemin met a few buddies living in Hongxia's apartment at the entrance of the ice rink, and they were greeting, when Zheng Tongxing rushed over: "Yuemin, those two girls are here again." ”

Zhong Yuemin hurriedly said goodbye to those buddies: "Ouch, I'm sorry, I'm a little serious there, I'll see you later." ”

Li Yanjun from Hongxia Apartment joked: "What can you do, isn't it just a mother-in-law?" Be careful, don't blow up. ”

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun were holding each other and were carefully practicing skating. Zhong Yuemin and his group came from a distance at a sprinting speed, and slammed across the skate blades in front of the girls to stop, and the skates blew white ice mist on the ice. Zhou Xiaobai looked up and saw Zhong Yuemin, was slightly stunned, and then showed a naughty smile. Last time, she played Zhong Yuemin, and she was a little embarrassed.

Zhong Yuemin looked at Zhou Xiaobai and shook his head, and sighed: "It's not interesting enough, it's really not interesting." ”

Zhou Xiaobai pretended not to know why, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

"I left without even saying hello that day, so I'm your coach anyway, right? My students are being bullied, can I, as a coach, ignore them? As a result, the coach stepped forward and almost took a beating, but the student didn't even have a shadow. It's so chilling, who will dare to do good deeds in the future? ”

Luo Yun smiled: "Didn't you say that you want to hold a study class for others?" If you don't go to fight, how can you be beaten? ”

Yuan Jun explained: "We reasoned with those bad boys and helped them change their ways, but those boys didn't get into the oil and salt at all, and they wanted to beat us, so we had no choice but to defend ourselves." ”

Zhou Xiaobai was very puzzled: "It's been a long time and you're still fighting, I really don't understand, what's wrong with you boys?" It's just a kind of fun to fight, and it's very cruel, and it's not enough to use hands, but also to use knives. I want to ask, what exactly do you guys think? ”

Zhong Yuemin scratched his scalp and thought about it: "I haven't thought about this problem, because everyone is like this, if you are honest, others will come to bully you, and if you don't want to fight, you can only choose to be beaten." Let's say you're walking down the street and a bunch of people come across from you, and you look at them, guess what they're going to say? ”

"How?"

"'What the are you looking for?' Listen, is this human language? ”

Zhou Xiaobai sighed: "It's really barbaric, how can boys now look like aggressive roosters?" I remember that this was not the case in the past, at that time, everyone in school was competing with each other about who had the best homework and who was good at both character and learning, and the most talked about was ideals. ”

Zhong Yuemin laughed secretly in his heart, this stupid girl, what year is the imperial calendar, who still talks about ideals in this year? He sneered: "Isn't that the time when the revisionist educational line ruled the school, and now if anyone says that I am a good child, I will listen to it like scolding." ”

Yuan Jun also put on a look of going through the world: "Now it's about who can fight, who dares to play with his life, and who has a black hand, who has a share." ”

Zhong Yuemin continued: "Of course, fighting is our profession, and we are quite dedicated. In our spare time, we can listen to music and read books. Have you seen The Count of Monte Cristo? That book is absolutely written, and I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't read it. ”

Zhou Xiaobai nodded in agreement: "I've read it, we have this book at home, it's very good." ”

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, his eyes lit up: "Do you have one at home?" Great, can you lend me a look? ”

"Didn't you just say you've seen it, have you seen it?"

"A buddy lent me this book, and I could only read it overnight, and I had to return it the next morning. I watched it all night, and I only read more than half of it, and I didn't know the story behind it, so I was so anxious that I hit my head against the wall. ”

"Oh, that's right, then I can consider it, and if you behave well, I'll lend it to you."

Zhong Yuemin really likes this book, but this is not his purpose, borrowing books is the best excuse, if you borrow it, you will pay it back, and you can do anything. He made a gesture of excitement: "Really? Then I will definitely behave well and ask the party and the people to test me in the struggle. By the way, the ballet of "Red Detachment of Women" is about to be performed, do you want to watch it? He made a last-ditch move, and according to his calculations, as long as such a tight ballet ticket was revealed, this girl would be considered settled.

Sure enough, Zhou Xiaobai's face turned red with excitement: "Do you have a ticket?" Great, I've loved ballet since I was a kid, and I even went to a junior class to learn it. ”

Zhong Yuemin said proudly: "Look, I didn't admit it in vain as a coach, right? Teach you to skate, take you to ballet, all the good things let you catch up, that book ......"

"Don't stink, isn't it just two broken tickets? It's not uncommon for me not to take me, hmph, I'm most annoyed by people bargaining with me. ”

Zheng Tong didn't like to listen to it: "What? Ticket breaking, is this ticket easy? We lined up for a whole night, freezing like a few grandsons, in the second half of the night Yuan Jun and I were so sleepy that we couldn't bear it, just squinting in a store doorway, Zhong Yuemin, the grandson, came over with a brick, and a brick ...... the glass of other stores."

Zhong Yuemin hurriedly interrupted: "I said that time is running out, and it will be over in an hour, you have to hurry up and practice." Now that I'm officially teaching, you have to study hard. To put it mildly, the level of the two of you is really enough to embarrass me, when people ask who is the coach, some people say that it is Zhong Yuemin, where do I put my old face? No way, I have to teach at this level, who makes me responsible? ”

Zhou Xiaobai pouted: "Zhong Yuemin, you are not poor, who is rare about you as a broken coach?" ”

Yuan Jun hurriedly slid over: "Yuemin, there are two groups of people over there, it is Du Weidong from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the mines in Heping. ”

Du Weidong is Zhong Yuemin's buddy, he can't ignore it, this side has already won the first battle, there is no need to be nostalgic, he is about to leave with his feet raised.

Zhou Xiaobai knew that they were going to fight again, so he hurriedly tried to stop it: "Zhong Yuemin, why are you leaving, and you still can't teach me to skate?" ”

"I'll come back and teach it later."

"Don't fight, okay?"

"No, Du Weidong is my friend, can I ignore it?"

"Zhong Yuemin, if you have to go, don't pay attention to me in the future." Zhou Xiaobai said angrily.

Zhong Yuemin just thinks it's nonsense, this girl has a sick brain, and she hasn't done anything yet, so she will take care of people, and at this time, Zhong Yuemin and his father can't help but go away.

He ignored Zhou Xiaobai, turned around and slid towards the noise with Yuan Jun and the others.

Among the many stubborn lords in the capital, Du Weidong is an alternative figure, first of all, his origin is very problematic. In the circle of cadres' children, it is very important to see whose old man is from which mountain, and it is related to the question of where you come from. For example, when two children of cadres who did not know each other met for the first time to "climb the road", the first thing they did was to ask "what part of your father was back then", which generally refers to which unit their parents belonged to during the Anti-Japanese War. It makes sense for the children of cadres to set the coordinates of time during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because the cadres who participated in the revolution during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression have become a climate after the founding of New China. As for the cadres who participated in the revolution after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, first, they were younger, and second, they were of a lower rank. In the eyes of some high-ranking cadres, the cadres who participated in the work during the War of Liberation were not worth mentioning, because the most difficult period of the Communist Party had passed at that time, its size had become a climate, and the army had reached more than one million. The children of cadres opened their mouths to "climb the road", talking about their family backgrounds during the Anti-Japanese War or the Red Army. If your father is from the New Fourth Army system, the other party must first ask how many detachments or divisions he is. This kind of question is very expert. If you open your mouth and say, "My father was in the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army in 1938," you are looking for a scolding. Because the formation of the New Fourth Army was a watershed moment in 1941 with the Southern Anhui Incident. After the Southern Anhui Incident, the New Fourth Army was declared a "rebel army" by the Kuomintang Military Committee, and its number was revoked, and it was rebuilt by the Communist Party itself. After the reconstruction, the New Fourth Army was expanded to 7 divisions and 1 independent brigade, so the New Fourth Army in 1938 did not have a division structure. If their parents were members of the Eighth Route Army system, they should ask which military region and several districts they belonged to, because in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were concentrated in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei area, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was the first military region established by the Eighth Route Army after completing the strategic development in North China in April 1938, with several military subdivisions under its jurisdiction. Don't underestimate this inconspicuous military sub-district, when the People's Liberation Army conferred the title in 1955, most of the commanders and political commissars of the military sub-divisions of that year were awarded the rank of general, and became the "feudal officials" with heavy troops.

The children of ordinary people feel that there is something wrong with the cadres and their children, and when two people who don't know each other meet, they open their mouths and say, "Your dad is a few districts", isn't this stupid? From this point of view, not everyone can enter the circle of cadres' children, just a few simple conversations, if you don't have a little basic knowledge of party history and military history, you will immediately be exposed, and most of the cadres' children are self-taught about party history and military history.

Du Weidong's background does not match the "few districts", he is not Chinese at all, but a pure Japanese. His father, Du Yuanheigoro, is a foreign expert invited by the Foreign Languages Translation Bureau and has worked in China for a long time. "**" Before he was not called Du Weidong, no one can remember what he was called, anyway, it was a Japanese name. When the Red Guard Movement arose in 1966, there were foreign students in Beijing's universities and key middle schools. These foreign students are also inevitably involved in the "**". Du Weidong, who was in his second year of junior high school at the High School Affiliated to Peking University, behaved more radically than his Chinese classmates, and he changed his Japanese name to "Du Weidong", which naturally meant to defend Mao. He is very persistent, regardless of whether Mao ** needs him to defend it or not, anyway, he plans to defend it to the end.

After the "**" began, Du Weidong also rebelled with the Chinese Red Guards. For some reason, he inexplicably classified himself as a "cadre's son", and said that his father enjoyed director-level treatment, and he was barely a "senior cadre". He participated in all the activities of the old Red Guards, such as the establishment of Red Guard pickets and the storming of the Ministry of Public Security in the name of "linkage".

After the "Great Tandem" began, he contacted several Japanese children and also carried a red flag to the "Long March" on foot. In Zaoyuan, Yan'an, Du Weidong proposed to the host party that they were Japanese leftists who had come to China to learn from experience, and that they would go back to prepare for an armed uprising in Tokyo to overthrow the rule of the Japanese reactionaries. In future battles, they may be sacrificed, and before the sacrifice he wants to sleep overnight in the cave where Mao ** lived. For a man who was about to die, this request was not excessive, and the host agreed to his request. However, due to the fact that there are too many foreigners with such requirements, some restrictions have been made, and each person can only sleep for two hours in the cave where Mao ** lived. Du Weidong slept for two hours and felt that it was not enjoyable, and spent two more days queuing up to experience the eventful years of Mao ** living in the cave again. Coming out of Yan'an, they went to Shaoshan on foot, and he said to a few Japanese buddies around him with a solemn expression: "If Mao ** didn't go out of Shaoshan to go to the revolution back then, China would be like Japan today, living in dire straits!" ”

Of course, this is Du Weidong's performance in 1966 and 1967. He is a person who likes to follow the trend, since Du Weidong also belongs to the "veteran" circle, then what the "veteran" doDu Weidong certainly does. In 1968, the old Red Guards had already lost their political power, and they were disheartened and stayed away from politics and engaged in fighting and slapping their mothers-in-law. At this time, Du Weidong naturally would not be idle, and he also got the school to put it on. His father, Du Yuanpeigoro, had a working relationship under the management of the Bureau of Foreign Experts, so Du Weidong was also like a child in the Beijing compound, and there was always a question of belonging when talking to foreign countries, so he claimed to be "from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs" and became an out-and-out stubborn lord of the capital.

Zhong Yuemin sometimes made fun of Du Weidong when he met him: "Weidong, why haven't you left yet?" ”

Du Weidong said: "Where the am I going? ”

Zhong Yuemin said: "Do you do such things? Our plan for an armed uprising in Tokyo was made two years ago, so why hasn't there been any movement yet? If you want to grind like you, will the world revolution still be done? Aren't we going to the United States to fight the White House in the end? ”

Du Weidong said: "Bullshit, wasn't that the battle plan two years ago? It's been a change of drama a long time ago, attacking a big city like Tokyo, do we have enough strength? This is clearly 'left-leaning' blind activism, and who is to blame if it causes losses to the revolutionary cause? We still have to follow the path of the countryside encircling the cities, and the world revolution is not a matter of a day and a half, so why hurry. The nature of my work has changed now, and the main thing is to mobilize the masses and wait for the revolutionary upsurge. ”

These clichΓ©s were all learned from the radio at that time, and became the language of Zhong Yuemin and others.

In the end, Du Weidong is a seed of the Yamato nation, and he is ruthless when he fights, and he has a bloodthirsty desire in his bones. He and Zhong Yuemin have teamed up to fight several times, and Du Weidong always carries a knife, and he sees blood when he shoots. Zhong Yuemin realized from Du Weidong that it was indeed not easy for his father to fight with the Japanese devils back then, this little devil was really tough, no wonder the war was fought for 8 years before it was defeated.

In a corner of the ice rink, two groups of young people are preparing for a fight, and there are still people flocking to all corners of the ice rink, and more and more people are gathering.

Du Weidong was wearing a yellow tweed military shirt, he liked to shave his head recently, and his deliberately bare and blue head in the winter looked very different, and he was confronting a young man in a cotton army coat.

The young man in the military coat took out a Japanese **** from his sleeve, the bayonet flashed under the mercury lamp, he calmly raised the knife in his hand, and asked: "What do you call a buddy?" ”

Du Weidong took the axe handed by *** and replied casually: "Du Weidong of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." What about you? I also signed up. ”

The young man smiled and said, "In peace, people call it 'landmines.'" ”

Du Weidong said mockingly: "The nickname is quite bluffing, why isn't it called '***'?" ”

Lei replied coldly: "Where is there so much nonsense, should we practice alone or together?" ”

"Whatever, I'll accompany you."

Zhong Yuemin took Yuan Jun and others to squeeze into the crowd from outside the circle, Du Weidong smiled and nodded to him to say hello: "Yuemin, we haven't seen each other for a few days, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

Zhong Yuemin asked, "Weidong, what's going on?" ”

The mine looked Zhong Yuemin up and down contemptuously.

Du Weidong said lazily: "Who knows what's going on, there is a kid who doesn't have long eyes and bumps into me, I give him two mouths, this guy won't do it, saying that I beat the dog and bully the master, what if I beat him, who let him not have long eyes?" ”

The mine showed a fierce face: "I think you are tired of life." ”

Du Weidong said: "Yuemin, you don't need to make a move, watch the excitement on the side for a while, wait for me to chop the girl, and invite you to Lao Mo for dinner in a while." ”

Zhong Yuemin stretched out his hand to stop Du Weidong, turned around and asked the mine: "You are in peace, do you know Wu Pingjin?" ”

Mine said with a stiff face: "Don't mention this to me, I don't know anyone, just know my knife." ”

Yuan Jun took out a kitchen knife from his satchel: "Don't you have a shame on your face?" I chopped you up. ”

Zhong Yuemin stopped Yuan Jun: "The ice rink is not a place for fighting, whoever puts someone down can't get out, I think we should make an appointment?" ”

The mine put the bayonet back on his sleeve and said indifferently: "Okay, then let's make an appointment, how about being in Yuetan Park at 10 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow?" ”

Du Weidong put away the axe and said: "It's decided, whoever doesn't go is the grandson." ”

Zhong Yuemin said to the crowd of onlookers: "Okay, didn't you say okay?" Everyone is scattered, don't stick here, the ice is about to collapse. ”

The crowd dispersed.

Du Weidong said to Zhong Yuemin with a blue face: "Yuemin, bring your people to cheer me on the day after tomorrow, I have to chop this kid." ”

Zhong Yuemin took a big bag and said: "No problem, I will definitely go." This kid is called a landmine, is there such a number in peace? Why haven't I heard of it? I think this grandson is not cleaned up, how many people can you call the day after tomorrow? ”

Du Weidong replied: "One hundred and ten people is enough, and no more will be able to play it." ”

Zhong Yuemin said: "If there are too many people, you can't fight, I have experience, there must be people in the two groups who know each other, say hello, yes, say yes." ”

Du Weidong gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go and talk about it, I would like to practice with that mine alone." ”

Yuan Jun saw that this fight did not start, and felt very disappointed, so he complained that Zhong Yuemin was nosy: "What nonsense are you talking to him?" Go up and chop it with a kitchen knife, what else do you want to make an appointment with him? Maybe I'll be too lazy to go the day after tomorrow. ”

Zhong Yuemin suddenly remembered something: "Hey, Yuan Jun, you still owe me a meal, it seems to be the Xinqiao Hotel, why don't you even mention it, pretending to be confused?" ”

Yuan Jun looked innocent: "Yes, why don't I have any impression at all, you take the things in your dream seriously, right?" ”

Zhong Yuemin grabbed Yuan Jun's arm and twisted it, and asked, "It seems that I have to remind you, think about it carefully, and think about it carefully, there is no ...... when you think about it."

"Ouch, you are light, I remembered, I finally remembered, it seems that there is such a thing, tomorrow ...... I'll go tomorrow, okay? ”

"That's right, why is your memory so bad at a young age? It seems that a reminder is necessary. ”

In 1968, Beijing was a huge city, and there were only two Western restaurants open to the public: one was the Beijing Exhibition Center Restaurant, because the Beijing Exhibition Center was built with the aid of the Soviet Union in the 50s of the 20th century, and it was called the Soviet Exhibition Center at that time, and its affiliated restaurant was called the Moscow Restaurant, which operated Russian Western food. After the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, it was changed to its current name, but people were used to calling it the previous name, and they could not change it for a while, and the recalcitrant lords in Beijing simply called it "Lao Mo". Another Western restaurant is the Xinqiao Hotel in Chongwenmen, which serves French Western food, but this French Western food has been completely Chinese.

These two Western restaurants were frequented by the recalcitrant owners of the capital at that time. Among them, the dining environment of the Xinqiao Hotel is relatively elegant, with decorative oil paintings hanging on the walls, and the content does not seem very radical, the dining tables are covered with snow-white tablecloths, each table is placed with delicate table cards and a spice container made of glass, the chairs are soft chairs with springs, and the chair cushions and backs are covered with beige cloth covers. It's also important to note that the waitresses here are young and not too ugly.

Yuan Jun has been living a life of "spending money and drinking" since he got a lot of money from selling ancient porcelain bottles, and his speech is more coarse than before, and he feels that he has seen the mountains at a glance. This feeling of his was instigated by Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong and others, and everyone wished that Yuan Jun would maintain this feeling of being a rich man until the money was spent. So when everyone saw Yuan Jun, they desperately touted it, saying that Yuan Jun was a man who was righteous and squandered money. What is a stubborn master? The first is to be righteous, spend a lot of money, and take money not for money. Zheng Tong said that the most annoying thing in his life is to pick and search, and if he has a little money, he can't wait to sew a pocket on his underwear and hide the money in the crotch of his pants. Yuan Jun is not a fool, of course he knows why his brothers are suddenly so polite to him, but whether it is true or not, it is better to praise each other than to slander each other. What's more, this money has to be spent, otherwise they can spare you? In short, whether they praise you or slander you, the result is the same, it is better to take the initiative and have a good reputation for righteousness and wealth.

Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong, Ermaozi and others sat around the dining table of the Xinqiao Hotel and shouted to order food, while the waitress in white overalls stood aside and prepared to remember the name of the dish.

Zheng Tong asked: "Comrade, is there a boiled fire?" ”

Everyone laughed wickedly.

The waitress was stunned: "I'm sorry, this is a Western restaurant, and it doesn't sell braised boiled fire." ”

Yuan Jun learned the Shandong dialect and said: "Comrade, do you have processing services here with materials?" I still have pancakes here, can you stew them for me? ”

The waitress stared at them in exasperation and did not speak.

Yuan Jun said with a hippie smile: "Comrade, I don't let you serve in vain, I give the processing fee, the big car shops in my area have material processing, this comrade, look down on me countrymen." ”

Zhong Yuemin said calmly: "Comrade, don't pay attention to them, these are all relatives of my family, who came from the countryside on donkeys, and have never seen the world, so you can bear with me." I also annoy them, but who doesn't have few poor relatives? I'm not afraid of your jokes......" he pointed at Yuan Jun with his finger, "This is my cousin, I haven't been here for several years, guess what gift he brought to my family?" You can't guess? Let me tell you, he carried a whole pig's head ......."

Zheng Tong and the others laughed.

Yuan Jun said with a smile: "Yuemin, you can squeeze me, you don't eat this meal." He stood up and pretended to leave.

Zheng Tong and the others rushed up and sat him down: "Don't pay the price, who will settle the bill when you leave, isn't this a threat to my brother?" ”

Zhong Yuemin began to order seriously: "Don't say it, don't say it, order, the first course, well, cream sauce round meatloaf." So let's do it, and each of these patties will be half a catty. ”

Zheng Tong and the others laughed again.

The waitress was probably often harassed by the recalcitrant owners, and she looked surprised: "This is a dish, not a meatloaf." ”

Zhong Yuemin pretended to be surprised: "Impossible, this clearly says that it is a meat patty, or round." ”

The waitress glared at him contemptuously and turned away.

Zhong Yuemin and his gang were even more proud, and laughed unscrupulously. Yuan Jun quickly put a set of tableware into his satchel, and then sat upright. Zhong Yuemin touched the cloth of the soft chair and praised: "This chair is good, it's very comfortable to sit on, I am short of a chair there." ”

Zheng Tong said: "Just a few sets of tableware, are you still worried about getting on the chair?" ”

A middle-aged male waiter walked over: "A few little comrades, if we have any inconsiderate service, please give us more valuable opinions." ”

Yuan Jun said casually: "No opinion, it's just that the waitress just now was too careless and put a set of less tableware." ”

The waiter turned around and went to get the cutlery.

Zheng Tong scolded Yuan Jun in a low voice: "You are really a thief, every time you come, you are happy with other people's things, and last time you took away other people's table cards." ”

"Dude likes Xinqiao and wants to keep some souvenirs, what's wrong?"

The dishes on the table were already full, and Zhong Yuemin and the others began to fight for me, gobbling them up.

Zhong Yuemin's mouth was stuffed with food, and he asked inarticulately: "Yuan Jun, if you eat like this, how many meals are we still enough to eat?" Do you still have money? ”

Yuan Jun replied: "It's enough to eat a few meals, that day Zheng Tong and I went to the commission bank to sell things, and almost let the family detain us." Zheng Tong's grandson looks like a good person, I don't look like a good person, I want to talk about it, and I also took out the household registration book, so people didn't arrest us as thieves. ”

Zheng Tong said: "Entrusting the old thing to the true grandson, a pair of porcelain vases from the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty, only gave us 50 yuan." Yuan Junya was a farmer, and when he heard it, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, and then shouted Long live Mao**, I said in my heart, if Mao ** knew that you stole things from home and sold them, he would have to smoke you. ”

As he spoke, the lights suddenly went out, and the restaurant was dark. This is a common occurrence, and in the past two years, the city has had insufficient power supply and frequent power outages.

Yuan Jun and others clamored: "What's the matter? Out of power? Ouch, where's my mouth? I stuffed the bread in my nose......"

The male waiter shouted in the dark: "Comrades, don't mess up, it's a routine power outage, our hotel has a backup power supply, and the power supply can be restored immediately, please wait patiently." ”

Zheng Tong shouted coaxily: "Return the money, return the money, we won't eat." ”

Ermaozi also shouted: "Yuemin, let's talk to their manager, and cut off the power for us while eating, isn't this the interest of sweeping brothers?" Yuemin, why don't you speak? Hey, Zheng Tong, where is Yuemin? ”

The lights are finally on, and the restaurant manager is going from table to table apologizing.

Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong, Ermaozi and others suddenly found that the place where Zhong Yuemin had sat just now was empty, and there were no chairs.

Zheng Tong opened his eyes wide in surprise and whispered, "Fuck, this grandson really ran away with the chair......"

Yuan Jun reacted very quickly, he threw away the knife and fork and said: "Brothers, withdraw quickly, people will find out in a while, ask us for a chair, Zhong Yuemin's grandson ......"

Yuan Jun and the others fled the restaurant in a hurry.

In an open space in Yuetan Park, Du Weidong was smoking a cigarette calmly, and a black crowd had gathered behind him. There is also a steady stream of people pouring into the park. A flatbed tricycle covered in tarpaulin slowly stopped, and someone eagerly lifted the tarpaulin, revealing bundles of sticks, spears, and wicker hats inside......

On a thick locust tree, Zhong Yuemin was sitting on a branch smoking a cigarette with an air gun. On another big tree, Yuan Jun sat with an air gun. Zheng Tong threw the broken bricks one by one on the tree, and Yuan Jun caught another piece of it and stacked it on the branch.

Zheng Tong shouted uneasily: "You steady, don't fall and hit me, don't hit others yet, let others spend it first." ”

Yuan Jun said with a smile: "After a while, when the fight starts, the buddy's big bricks will greet wherever there are many people, I don't care who he is." ”

Du Weidong raised his head and shouted to Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin, why did you go up the tree?" Dude is still pointing at you and charging into battle. ”

Zhong Yuemin said: "Weidong, why do I feel that something is wrong? No matter how the mines are, we are Chinese, how can I help the Japanese devils fight the Chinese? Then others don't call me a traitor? ”

Du Weidong said with a smile: "You can treat me as Comrade Bethune, buddy is an internationalist fighter, who came to China thousands of miles away to ...... for the liberation of the Chinese people."

"Fuck your uncle, Bethune is Canadian, you're a fucking Jap, can this be compared? Do you calculate, have you Japanese done good things? In the Ming Dynasty, we made a mistake with our China, and we taught you so much culture in China, but you just don't follow the right path, good people like to be pirates when they are not careful, and they take advantage of our Chinese to be careless, grab something and run, in fact, it is to grab a melon and two dates, and we think that we have taken advantage of it, we are too lazy to take care of you......"

Yuan Jun, who was sitting on another tree, became more and more angry when he heard Zhong Yuemin say it: ", they are Japanese grandsons, I heard my father say that they burned down the house in our hometown." Du Weidong, let me fuck your uncle, why did you burn down our house? Yuemin, the more I look at Ya, the more unpleasant it becomes, let's just beat Du Weidong first. ”

Du Weidong called out: "Dude, it was the Japanese militarists who burned your house, the fucking fascists, and I am an internationalist fighter." Besides, it's not right this year, we weren't born at that time. ”

"It could have been your dad's doing, or your dad's buddy. Your dad should have been born then, right? It is the age of being a soldier, can he be idle? You haven't burned down a house or raped a woman, have you? You Japanese are like this, and you don't even let go of sows. Anyway, this account has to be counted on your head, you say, you can choose one of the two ways, either let us beat you, which is considered our participation in the anti-Japanese resistance, or you pay for a few elder Mo to give a beating, you can choose. Zhong Yuemin threatened.

"Then I'd better treat you, I understand, don't my brothers just want to kill me, why are you talking so much nonsense? I also found the back account of the Ming Dynasty and said that my father raped women, you Chinese are enough for grandchildren, and you will slander whoever you want to slaughter. Du Weidong said happily.

A young man panted and ran to report: "Weidong, the mines are coming. ”

Du Weidong's demeanor became solemn: "How many people are there?" ”

"I'm afraid there are also a hundred and ten."

"Hello, guys."

At the entrance of the park, Landmine led his men and horses to ride their bicycles in a mighty manner, and they took their bicycles to the side of the road, and the bright bicycles were suddenly arranged in a large area. They took out the prepared guys from the beam of the bicycle and the toilet bag they carried, and two of them were actually holding military war knives during the Japanese invasion of China in their hands, and for a while, the sound of the war knife pulling out of its scabbard, and the sound of sharp axes and other instruments rubbing were intertwined.

Wearing a national defense green cotton army coat and a cashmere fur hat, he calmly smoked a cigarette as if he had come to the park to go on a date with his girlfriend, and seemed to be unaware of the large-scale bloody weapons that were about to break out. He suddenly threw off his coat and waved his hand, and the number one hundred and ten people behind him suddenly became commotion, and the crowd swarmed in from the gate of the park.

In the park, Du Weidong led his subordinates to show their guys, and stepped forward step by step, and a large-scale weapon fight was about to break out.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted at the gate: "Stop! ”

The two groups of people who were about to fight stopped, and at the same time turned their heads to the gate, only to see Li Yuanchao riding into the park with a few people and inserting directly into the middle of the two groups.

Zhong Yuemin sighed and shouted at Yuan Jun: "I can't fight, Li Yuanchao is coming." ”

Yuan Jun complained: "It's really boring, I wouldn't have come if I knew this." As he spoke, he slid down the tree with a curse.

Zhong Yuemin looked at the crowd, only to see Li Yuan saying something to Du Weidong and the mine, the two nodded frequently, the two shook hands, and the two groups of people put away the murder weapons in their hands.

"Li Yuanchao, this kid, plays the role of making peace every time he fights, and I haven't seen him fight with anyone seriously. Let's go, go and see. ”

Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Jun squeezed into the crowd and shook hands with Li Yuanchao.

"As soon as I saw you, Li Yuanchao came, I knew that it was over, and I couldn't fight the big fight, so I was really bored."

Li Yuanchao smiled and said, "Yuemin, how can you be afraid that the world will not be chaotic? ”

Li Yuanchao really had face, and as soon as he made peace, the antagonistic emotions between Landmine and Du Weidong suddenly came to naught, and he immediately became talking and laughing. Du Weidong enthusiastically introduced Zhong Yuemin to the mine: "This is Zhong Yuemin, Yuying School. ”

Lei Lei shook hands with Zhong Yuemin: "Dude, I'm sorry for being naΓ―ve, don't take it to heart, you can talk about something in the future." ”

Zhong Yuemin said politely: "It's okay, I met this time, and we will be friends in the future." ”

Li Yuanchao looked around, and there were quite a few people who came today, including those from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Railways, and the Planning Commission compound. It is rare for these people to get together, and Li Yuanchao came today not simply to calm down this fight, but to take this opportunity to discuss a major matter with the heads of the major courtyards.

Du Weidong asked: "Aiding Korea, you just said that you have something to discuss?" Say, what's the matter? ”

Li Yuanchao said: "Have you heard of the little muddy? ”

As soon as they heard the words "little muddy egg", everyone exploded.

"I just heard recently, I didn't have this number? I was about to look for him, a few days ago a friend of mine was inserted by a little bastard, and his bladder was pierced, this kid's hands are black enough. ”

"This kid has already injured more than a dozen people, and I heard that he didn't even say anything when he met, and he shot with a knife, and he stabbed him in a critical place."

"It's wicked, I've never seen someone so ruthless."

Li Yuanchao said: "He shot extremely fast, claiming to be the 'No. 1 killer in the capital', and this is what I want to discuss with you." ”

Du Weidong asked: "Catch him and abolish him?" ”

"Yes!" Li Yuanchao nodded, "If you don't abolish him, we will be abolished by him sooner or later." This guy is really crazy, he is not aimed at someone, but at our 'veterans', whether there is a grudge or not, he will kill someone. Until now, it was a stroke of luck that no one died, and his motive was to kill. ”

"What if we catch him, we can't kill him, can we? It's a big deal if someone lives is killed. Landmine said.

Li Yuanchao said with a deep calculation: "This guy is covered in blood debts, if he is caught by the Public Security Bureau, I am afraid he will also have to be sentenced to death, of course we can't do it brutally, we must do it reasonably." I'm going to go to the Public Security Bureau to report the case first, and I take the initiative to ask to assist the Public Security Bureau in arresting him, but the Public Security Bureau will never refuse, right? Okay, it's easy to do with this, with the character of the little bastard, he will never be arrested, as long as he resists, kill him, this is legitimate defense. ”

Zhong Yuemin said: "It's not easy to arrest him? It's time for "Red Detachment of Women" to perform next Monday, and the little guy has a ticket in his hand, he will definitely go, so let's clean him up in the theater. ”

"There's another week, and maybe someone will lose their lives in that week." Li Yuanchao said.

"I heard that he has been active in the exhibition hall and zoo recently, so let's send more people to monitor that area." Du Weidong seemed impatient.

"Don't startle the snake, this matter must be done in secret." Li Yuanchao admonished.

Zhong Yuemin's living room is always full of friends, usually there are no less than seven or eight people in the living room, it was the most leisurely day in his life, and it was difficult to pass the time, and the same was true for Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong. In the past few days, Zhong Yuemin is excited, Zhou Xiaobai lent him the extremely difficult book "The Count of Monte Cristo" for a whole week, which is really a big face, usually such a book can be lent to you for 24 hours is already very interesting. Zhong Yuemin read the book carefully twice, so he had the capital, and at this time he was sitting on the sofa and stilting Erlang's legs to tell Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others the story of "The Count of Monte Cristo", and Yuan Jun and others listened in a daze.

Albert, the son of Messis, believed that the Count of Monte Cristo had discredited his family reputation by slandering his father behind his back, and decided to challenge the Count of Monte Cristo in the theater for a duel. The 19th-century French aristocracy had a habit of throwing gloves in the face of each other, and doing so in full view of the public, which meant a double word: a challenge, and an insult. The French aristocracy is more civilized, throwing gloves to express challenge, unlike our gang, who shoot the big bricks when they are unhappy......"

Yuan Jun and the rest of the audience burst out laughing.

"Yuan Jun, what would you do if you let someone drop their gloves on their faces in the theater?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

"I chopped it with a kitchen knife." Yuan Jun replied fiercely, not feeling that he had lost his grace at all.

"Listen, what do you say? A hooligan is a scoundrel, and he can never become a nobleman. When you were the Count of Monte Cristo, you went to the theater to the opera and carried a kitchen knife? It would be a shame for a man of Monte Cristo's status to have his gloves thrown on his face, and before he could do so, he would take the initiative to pull the gloves from Albert's hand and politely say, 'Even if your gloves have been thrown away and sent back to you with a bullet, leave me now, or I will call a servant to drive you out ......of the door.'"

Zheng Tong interrupted his enthusiastic speech: "It's boring, your storytelling is completely from the book, the language is book language, you should use the current language." ”

Zhong Yuemin sighed and said: "You guys are too uneducated, and you can't accept a little elegance, it seems that I have to lower myself to the standard of the literacy class." The Count of Monte Cristo said, 'Grandson, are you tired of being crooked, and who are you arguing with?' If you don't accept it, let's find a place to practice alone, so that whatever guy can choose, whether it's a kitchen knife or a plug, buddies will be accompanied to the end, whoever doesn't dare to go is a grandson......'"

The audience burst out laughing. Zhong Yuemin sold the guanzi and stopped talking.

Yuan Jun couldn't wait to say: "Go on, have Monte Cristo and Alpet practiced alone?" Who's cleaning up whom? ”

Zhong Yuemin touched his stomach: "No, I'm hungry, I haven't eaten in the morning, and I really can't bear it." ”

Yuan Jun took out 5 yuan and slapped it on the coffee table: "Zheng Tong, you go buy a few catties of buns." Yuemin, you go on. ”

Zheng Tong didn't move: "Who are you supporting?" Don't go. ”

Yuan Jun was anxious: "Then do you want to eat?" ”

"If you don't eat, I'm really not hungry, and I'm annoyed when I see food."

Yuan Jun said angrily: "Then don't listen to you, go out and find a cool place to stay." ”

"Are you willing to listen to me? I'm annoyed, and I can't sit here and rest for a while. Yuemin, don't talk about it, I'm almost asleep listening to it, it's very boring. Zheng Tong was clearly deliberately angry with Yuan Jun.

Zhong Yuemin said: "Yes, I'm tired of telling people, I'm sick?" Don't talk about it, resolutely don't talk about it, and then talk about it I am a grandson. ”

Yuan Jun angrily went to Zhong Yuemin: "It's really boring, a broken book, as for it?" ”

"Broken book, can you find me a copy to see? Your dad is still the head of the authorities, and all the printed materials with words in your house are counted, I'm afraid there are no more than 10 copies, and you have to count the 4 copies of Mao** quotations and "Mao** Anthology", plus the household registration book and the non-staple food book, in addition to these, how many books are left in your family? ”

Yuan Jun said unconvinced: "You are too crowded buddy, our family has no books, what era is it now?" The more knowledge, the more reactionary, and the less cultured, the more revolutionary. Zheng Tong's father still graduated from college, and as soon as the movement came, his father was the first to fight. ”

Zheng Tong didn't like to listen to it, he couldn't forget to ridicule Yuan Jun and his old and rough father at any time, and immediately replied: "I remember, Yuan Jun and his father are very boring, when my dad is fighting, his dad jumps happily, and puts on a posture of an old cadre on the stage with his shy stomach, and hums as soon as he speaks, so that my dad is only allowed to be honest and not to talk nonsense." At that time, I was really frightened, and I said in my heart, it is still the level of the old cadres from Yan'an, and before I can say anything, the posture will come out. Two days later, I passed by the gate of the office and saw the rebels escorting a team of 'cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods' to work. The 'Cow Ghost Snake God' lined up, carrying a broom, and singing the "Song of the Cow Ghost and Snake God" in their mouths, and the voice of the lead singer was particularly loud, "I am the Cow Ghost and Snake God, I am the Cow Ghost and Snake God, I am guilty, I am guilty...... 'buddy is a little wrong when he hears it, why is this voice so familiar? And voila, hey! It's Yuan Jun's father. ”

Zhong Yuemin and the others laughed, and Yuan Jun turned his face: "Zheng Tong, who are you squeezing against?" There is a kind of one-on-one one-on-one practice. ”

Zheng Tong did not show weakness: "Who are you bluffing?" You may not be an opponent if you practice alone, if you don't accept it, let's try ......"

Yuan Jun rushed into the kitchen and copied out the kitchen knife, Zheng Tong picked up a chair to smash Yuan Jun, and his companions rushed up and hugged the two.

Yuan Jun struggled: "Don't care about any of you, whoever cares about me and who is in a hurry." ”

There was a lot of chaos in the living room.

Zhong Yuemin shouted: "Brothers, you have to go out to practice alone, this is my ......"

When Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun knocked on the door of Zhong Yuemin's house, the living room was in chaos, Yuan Jun was holding a kitchen knife to cut Zheng Tong, no one persuaded him, Zheng Tong also held a chair and did not let go, ready to defend himself at any time. Zhong Yuemin was furious when he saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he rushed into the kitchen and copied out a rolling pin, claiming that he wanted to beat these two crazy guys out.

Zhou Xiaobai came to Zhong Yuemin's house for the first time. The first time she dealt with a boy, she felt a little panicked in her heart, that day on the ice rink, she wanted to stop Zhong Yuemin from fighting, so she threw down a sentence, if you have to go, don't pay attention to me. She thought that Zhong Yuemin would give in, but who knew that Zhong Yuemin didn't even pay attention to it, turned around and left. Zhou Xiaobai was stunned for a long time, she wondered, how dare this guy take his words as a deaf ear? She was so angry that she decided to never pay attention to him in the future, but after a while, Zhong Yuemin came back again, and he said to Zhou Xiaobai as if nothing had happened: "When will you give me that book?" ”

Zhou Xiaobai replied involuntarily: "Tomorrow." After saying that, she became even more angry, and secretly scolded herself for being unproductive. After returning home, Zhou Xiaobai was still wondering, what spell did Zhong Yuemin use to make her seem to have fallen into an evil spirit?

Zhong Yuemin is indeed scheming, Zhou Xiaobai lent him the book, which is considered to be his trick, and he can't ignore him if he wants to. Yesterday, Zhou Xiaobai called Zhong Yuemin to ask him to return the book, and Zhong Yuemin asked her to pick it up, as if Zhou Xiaobai begged him, so angry that she almost dropped the phone. She thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, Zhong Yuemin, a bastard, seemed to have inadvertently changed the nature of the matter, obviously it was his request for someone else's business, but it turned out that someone else rushed to find him.

The arrival of Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun eased the atmosphere in the living room, and the two sides of the duel who were going to use knives to play with their lives just now also lost their temper, but fortunately, Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong often had this kind of conflict, they were used to it, and in less than 5 minutes, they changed from enemies to buddies again.

Zhong Yuemin found some records and picked out a dense record of Tchaikovsky's piano piece "June Boat Song" and put it on the record player. After Yuan Jun made a fortune, he bought a box of red wine and kept it at Zhong Yuemin's house, so he was also found to open the bottle and pour it into a goblet, Zhong Yuemin diligently handed the wine glass to the two girls. Zhou Xiaobai took the goblet and glared at Zhong Yuemin, and the resentment in his heart was slowly subsiding. She suddenly felt that this guy was not annoying. As soon as he was dissipated, Zhong Yuemin said something out of place: "Johann Strauss has a waltz called "Wine, Women and Songs", and we have all of them today. ”

Zhou Xiaobai turned her face again when she heard this, and she put down the wine glass: "Zhong Yuemin, you can't say good things in your dog's mouth, what do you think of us?" ”

Zhong Yuemin knew that he was speechless: "Ouch, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said that I was out of my mouth, I owe it, I have been pumping for a long time." ”

Yuan Jun said: "Xiaobai, smoke this grandson." ”

Luo Yun smiled: "I found that Zhong Yuemin's mouth is quite indebted, and it is not too much to slap him." ”

The melody of "June Boat Song" came out of the speakers, softly diffusing in the air, and Zhou Xiaobai was soon immersed in the beautiful music.

She hadn't heard such beautiful music in a long time. Zhou Xiaobai remembers that there are four different versions of the music of "Swan Lake" alone, and Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" has a fine version of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Karajan and the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Khachaturian. When she was a child, her mother used to play all kinds of classical music to her, and she will never forget her mother's words: music and poetry flow naturally from the depths of the noble heart. At that time, Zhou Xiaobai's homework was very tight, and she rarely had time to appreciate the music carefully, and she couldn't understand the background of the times in which those music masters lived, but she could feel the beauty of classical music. Whenever her mother played Chopin's nocturnes, she could feel a warm tranquility, as if she was in a warm ocean. Her mother told her: "This is a poem composed of musical notes, and to appreciate Chopin's music, you must have the feelings of a poet." Lieutenant General Zhou Xiaobai's father didn't like these music very much, and dismissed it as a glamorous sound. He had long watched these records unpleasantly, and at the beginning of "Breaking the Four Olds" in 1966, the old man ordered the guards to smash all the records, and there was not even a single record left. Xiaobai's mother cried bitterly when she came home, and because of the situation at the time, her mother didn't dare to quarrel with her father. Because the whole society has fallen into a ****, let alone smashing a few records, even the dead in the crematorium can't be burned. The mother was silent. Since then, Zhou Xiaobai has never heard classical music again.

Zhong Yuemin saw that Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were misty and his expression was melancholy, and he didn't seem to have woken up from the music, so he asked her, "Xiaobai, why are you stunned?" ”

Zhou Xiaobai seemed to be suddenly awakened: "Oh, this music is so beautiful, I can't get out as soon as I go in, really, I haven't heard such beautiful music for a long time." ”

"Do you like classical music?"

"I like it, I used to have a lot of records in my family, but unfortunately they were all smashed by my dad when I 'broke the four olds'."

"Your dad is sick."

Zhou Xiaobai was angry: "Your father is sick." I warn you to talk to me less with dirty words in the future. ”

Zhong Yuemin hurriedly apologized: "Yes, yes, it's my dad who is sick, okay?" How do you say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face? It's boring. ”

Zhou Xiaobai was still angry: "You people, why are your mouths so dirty? Open your mouth is swearing, and you especially like to make other people's parents happy, no wonder others say that you are hooligans, I don't think I have wronged you at all. ”

Zheng Tong obviously didn't like to listen to it: "Xiaobai, listen to what you mean, it seems that you have all picked us up, it is Zhong Yuemin's grandson......"

"Look, swearing again, have I wronged you?"

"Ouch, that's swear too? You are here today, we are already very civilized, especially Zhong Yuemin, who speaks very elegantly, he is usually not like this. ”

Zhong Yuemin patted Zheng Tong's head: "You're looking for a cigarette again, aren't you?" ”

Zheng Tong lifted his glasses: "Listen, are you exposed?" As soon as he saw a female classmate, he pretended to love art, in fact, a hooligan is a hooligan, don't pretend to be a grandson. Yuan Jun and I are good at this, if we don't understand, we don't understand, and we never pretend to be grandchildren. ”

Zhou Xiaobai snorted disdainfully: "If you say that, you are still quite frank, first admit that you are a hooligan, and also admit that you don't understand art, which is not bad, better than some people who don't know how to pretend to understand." ”

Zhong Yuemin looked at Zhou Xiaobai: "I seem to hear a little insinuation." ”

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's not that you, what kind of heart do you have?" ”

Zhong Yuemin made a painful statement: "It seems that it is necessary for me to affirm that Zheng Tong admits that he is a hooligan, which is indeed very frank, and judging from his consistent performance, it is not an exaggeration to call him a hooligan." But it is obviously slanderous for him to count me into the circle of hooligans, but in fact I am a person who loves life and art, and I long to meet a soulmate, someone who loves art as much as I do. Unfortunately, bosom friends are hard to find, and when I look up, there are villains like Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun around me, you don't know how painful I feel in my heart......"

Yuan Jun stopped doing it: "Yuemin, this is your mistake, I can see it, don't you just want to find a bosom friend, it's better to be a woman, we understand, but you can't afford to take us on the back in order to find a bosom friend, this is called heavy color and light friends." ”

Zheng Tong said generously: "It's okay, Yuan Jun, let's be a little wronged, as long as Yuemin can find a soulmate, he will scold us as bastards, let's admit it, this is called enduring humiliation, who made him our buddy." ”

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said, "Don't you love art? We're not too difficult for you, just tell us how you feel when you listen to this song. She wanted to test Zhong Yuemin to see if he really liked music or pretended.

Zhong Yuemin excused himself: "Do you really want to ask me to be a teacher? Forget it, being a good teacher is not a good quality, and a decent person should be humble. ”

"Yes, we are embarrassed enough for him, this record may have been thrown on the street when the 'Four Olds' raided his house and let Zhong Yuemin pick it up, Tchaikovsky's music is indeed deeper for him. Yuemin, don't be nervous, we'll tease you. Zhou Xiaobai used the agitation method.

Speaking of which, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but accept it: "Since Zhou Xiaobai insists on not allowing me to be modest, then I have to teach you a lesson." Zheng Tong, play the record again. ”

The melody of "June Boat Song" sounded again, Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath, his eyes were half-closed, and adjusted the vocal range of his voice to a deep middle range: "Gentlemen, ladies, the main patron of La Scala in Italy, the mentor and guide of the conductor Master Karajan, the famous music critic Mr. Zhong Yuemin specially traveled thousands of miles from Milan, Italy, to China to temporarily serve as a professor of music literacy class, Mr. Zhong Yuemin is an old friend of Chinese Min, as early as the 30s of the 20th century......"

Yuan Jun was impatient: "Why are you so poor, and you are still in Italy, you survived to death, that is, you fled from Africa......"

Zhou Xiaobai smiled: "Yuan Jun, don't make trouble, let him speak." ”

Zhong Yuemin was not affected in the slightest, and his mood had already entered an atmosphere: "Good music will form a picture in people's minds, and the picture I saw is like this, first the background of the Russian scenery, then the vast steppe, the beautiful Transcaucasian scenery, the turbulent Volga River, and the domed Orthodox church. I seem to hear familiar Russian folk songs...... This song is melancholy and profound, which makes people's hearts sour, and they can't help but cry......"

Zhou Xiaobai was stunned, she didn't expect Zhong Yuemin's language to be so infectious, and in just a few words, he actually outlined the deep and vast background of Russia, this person is really not to be underestimated.

The sound of music is echoing, and Zhong Yuemin's poetic language has infected almost everyone, and everyone seems to have entered the picture and artistic conception depicted by his language.

Zhou Xiaobai held her chin with her hand and looked at Zhong Yuemin quietly, her eyes were bright and her gaze was as clear as water.

"A secluded lake with a dense birch forest on its shore, the late autumn birch forest is colorful, and the autumn wind gently blows through the birch forest...... Our boat paddled quietly, the oars soft, the water rippling, and the nightingales of the woods singing...... At this time, there is no sadness or joy in your heart, only a faint, vague melancholy...... Your eyes are full of tears, but they don't roll down, they are absorbed by your eyes and dry up on their own...... In such an atmosphere, your heart is only moved, only tender, and deeply attached. The boat is fading away, the sound of oars is fading, the ripples disappearing on the water, taking away the emotion, taking away the tenderness...... What's left? All that remains is the faint, vague melancholy lingering in my heart for a long time......"

Everyone was stunned, tears overflowed from the corners of Zhou Xiaobai's eyes, and they couldn't imagine that Zhong Yuemin had such a deep understanding of music. She quietly wiped away her tears and stared at Zhong Yuemin, with a soft luster in her eyes.

Yuan Jun applauded: "Not bad, not bad, why don't you speak?" cheered Yuemin on, I really didn't expect that after so many years of mixing together, I didn't know that he had grown an artistic cell, and he could hear so many words in a song. ”

Zheng Tong echoed: "I seem to hear something about it, Yuemin's eloquence is good, very vivid, Luo Yun, what do you say?" ”

Luo Yun nodded: "It's really touching, it's beautiful." Yuemin, you really impress me, I thought you would fight, I didn't expect you to be so romantic, it's really rare. Xiaobai, why don't you comment on the comments? ”

Zhou Xiaobai smiled reluctantly: "Romantic? It's very romantic. I still remember the first time I saw Zhong Yuemin, he was fighting and his face was covered in blood, which scared me to death. When I listened to the music just now, I couldn't unify blood and romance into one person, and I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Zhong Yuemin pondered: "Blood, romance? It's very interesting, it's called blood romance. ”

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Zhong Yuemin deeply: "Blood romance? Well said, very much like the era we live in. Yuemin, I didn't expect you to have the temperament of a poet. ”

Yuan Jun opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "Poet? I said Zhou Xiaobai, don't hold it, it's a bit numb to hold it again, don't you think it's too much to exalt him? He is a poet, is there a poet in the world who goes out with a kitchen knife every day? ”

Zhong Yuemin raised his hand: "Fuck you, are you looking for a smoke?" ”

"Listen, finally show your hideous face, this is the poet?" Yuan Jun sighed.

Zhou Xiaobai said angrily: "Yuemin, why are you scolding again? I can't help but praise it at all. ”

"Scold him, I'm going to whip him, this grandson owes ......" Zhong Yuemin pounced on Yuan Jun, and the two laughed and scolded.

Zhang Haiyang brought a message to Zhong Yuemin, saying that there was something important to discuss, and the two made an appointment to meet in front of the Military Museum.

In the square in front of the Military Museum, Zhang Haiyang and Zhong Yuemin arrived at the same time, and the two stopped their bicycles and looked at each other, smiling mysteriously at each other, as if they knew what they were going to discuss. Since that handshake, the two have become friends as if they had met confidants.

"Ocean, I heard that a friend of yours was inserted by a little bastard yesterday." Zhong Yuemin got straight to the point.

"You're very informed, you know so quickly. My friend was seriously injured, and if he hadn't been rescued in time, he would have lost his life. ”

"The little bastard is a vicious and ruthless guy, if you don't make a move, you will stab yourself in the vital place once you make a move, and your friend is a big fate if he is rescued."

"Yuemin, do you see it? The little bastard is here for us people. A few days ago, he and Li Kuiyong actually went to the intersection of Shen District in Million Zhuang to pull out a share, and they also intervened a buddy in Shen District. He uses various methods to break down, so that we can't guard against it, we have to find a way to catch him, otherwise more and more people will be poisoned. Zhang Haiyang said worriedly.

Zhong Yuemin pondered: "What if you catch him? You can't kill him. ”

Zhang Haiyang gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't kill him, you have to abolish him and let him stay in prison for the rest of his life." ”

"Li Yuanchao is contacting the people in the major courtyards to prepare for joint operations, but I don't think it will have much effect. The little huddler knows that he has too many enemies, and the Public Security Bureau is also wanted by him, so his whereabouts are secretive. He also has a lot of henchmen, and it is not easy to catch him. ”

"That's what I'm going to talk to you about. According to my information, the Li Kuiyong you know has been mixed up with Xiao Hun recently and the two of them have a very close relationship. ”

"You mean let's take the initiative and strike first?"

"Yes, let's do it first, just the two of us. There are many people, and if the news leaks, not only will we not be able to catch him, but we will be killed by him. This kid kills without blinking. Yuemin, do you dare to join forces with me? ”

"Why are you joining forces with me?"

"Not for anything else, just because I see you Zhong Yuemin like a man. Also, your quality is good, the first time I fought you, I found that you have quick reflexes, good speed and explosiveness, have you received any training? ”

"I used to train in the junior sports school wushu team."

"No wonder, we're still classmates after a long time, I spent time on the track and field team of the junior sports school."

"I said how did you run so fast, you saw the police coming in that fight, and your body shook and disappeared. Well, I agree to join forces with you. ”

Before parting, Zhang Haiyang said: "I know why you agreed so happily. ”

Zhong Yuemin smiled: "Tell me about it." ”

"Whoever can clean up the little bastard will become famous, and his share will be pulled home."

"Needless to say? It's obvious. ”

The afternoon sun shone obliquely, and Zhong Yuemin was lazily lying on a bench by the lake in Yuyuantan Park. There are few tourists here, the ice on the lake is already melting, the willow branches around the lake have shown a hint of green, and the air is filled with a unique smell of spring.

He hadn't been to Yuyuantan Park for a long time, and he used to swim here with his friends in the summer. At that time, there were many vegetable patches of farmers around the park, who often led the sheep to pick a few cucumbers or steal a few tomatoes. Once, they were caught by the peasants who were guarding the vegetable garden, and the peasants had a very good way of dealing with these bad boys, they did not beat or scold, but only punished these bad boys for working under the poisonous sun. The farmer who looked after the garden slept in his shack and ordered them to pull weeds in the vegetable field, while a big wolf dog squatted on the ground to watch them. The sun that day was very poisonous, and the brothers were almost sunburned and peeled off a layer of skin. This incident left a deep impression on Zhong Yuemin, who was still a primary school student at the time, and had no ability to resist this kind of forced labor, and was simply slaughtered by others. If it were to pick a few cucumbers from him now, he would be able to look up to him, and the big wolf dog would dare to show his teeth again, and he would have to pick off his skin.

In all fairness, Zhong Yuemin doesn't miss the years before "**" at all. At that time, life was very boring, it was a backwater, and teachers and parents always imposed their own wishes on the children, which was nothing more than to let you study hard and be a good child. In fact, not all children are willing to be good children, and Zhong Yuemin is not. He thinks it's just wishful thinking on the part of teachers and parents, and it's a more selfish idea. All parents almost have a utilitarian color when dealing with their children's future, as evidenced by the phrase "raising children to prevent old age". In Zhong Yuemin's view, this is simply an investment behavior, in order to have returns in the future. It's like a farmer planting crops just to harvest, if not for this purpose, then why don't you plant grass? The consequence of this investment behavior is that the children are unlucky. Because coming to this world is not their subjective desire at all, they are forced to come, and when they come, they are immediately told to study hard and be a good child. When I was in middle school, the school hallways were full of portraits of Albert Einstein, Beethoven, and Tolstoy, which told you unmistakably that you should be this kind of person when you grow up, and the premise of being this kind of person is to strive to be a good child from now on. Zhong Yuemin is often indignant about this, who stipulates that he must **Instein? He never admired such masters. When he read Stevenson's "Treasure Island" as a child, he thought it would be nice to be a pirate captain when he grew up, but he didn't dare to tell his parents about this wish, he just buried it in his heart.

When Zhong Yuemin really figured this question out, he was already an adult. He began to understand that for most Chinese, they don't know what they really need. When will people be able to listen only to the call of the heart and not be controlled by the desires of the flesh? Walking in the crowd, Zhong Yuemin often strongly felt that the Chinese mind, like Chinese history, is still wandering between utilitarianism and seclusion, making the world into irrational plunder, and making the birth a hiding place for failure. In such a group, it is easiest to form fashion and trends, and the flow of all trends is a unified value orientation, so our minds are always out of control.

Zhong Yuemin is quite satisfied with the current state of life, first of all, there are no teachers and parents chattering in your ears, and no one forces you to do your homework. He feels that there is a lawless way of life in the world, which may not be suitable for everyone, but for Zhong Yuemin personally, it is more suitable. That year, the Ministry of Public Security arrested their Red Guard comrades-in-arms, and the brothers rushed to the Ministry of Public Security in a fit of rage. Those specially trained fighters looked helpless in the face of their wave after wave of assault formation. If this matter is put on hold before the "**", do you dare to argue with the Ministry of Public Security? Why don't you stand in front of that gate a little longer?

Interestingly, he is not the only young man who has the same idea as Zhong Yuemin, and while Zhong Yuemin is lying on a bench in Beijing's Yuyuantan Park, thinking nonsense, in distant Europe, the young people in Paris are already brewing a storm that will shock the world. These young people in Paris are simply close to Zhong Yuemin, and their goal is to resolutely not be a good child.

However, at this time, Zhong Yuemin didn't know that the drunken Paris was about to rain, he only cared about the things under his nose, he was quietly waiting for Li Kuiyong to arrive, he had already gotten the news and knew that Li Kuiyong had been with Xiao Hun these days. Zhong Yuemin felt that it was his duty to persuade Li Kuiyong, and he wanted to warn this old classmate. Li Kuiyong's current situation is very dangerous, Zhong Yuemin is a righteous person, and he doesn't want to see Li Kuiyong unlucky.

Li Kuiyong rode a bicycle to the lake, he supported the bicycle and sat next to Zhong Yuemin, Zhong Yuemin silently stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands.

"Yuemin, listen to my brother, are you looking for me?" Li Kuiyong asked.

"It's not a big deal, I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to talk to you." Zhong Qiumin said lightly.

"If you have something to say, just say it, why are you going around in circles? It's not like you. ”

"Okay, let me make it clear, I heard that you've been messing around with little bastards recently, is there such a thing?"

"What are you asking all this for?"

"What? I want to save you, I don't want to watch you get bad luck with him. ”

"You want to save me? The tone is too big, Beijing City doesn't necessarily belong to you, right? Li Kuiyong didn't like Zhong Yuemin's tone very much.

Zhong Yuemin said coldly: "I just want to tell you, stay away from him, you can't wade into this troubled water." ”

"You want to kill him?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Lee Kuiyong's face.

"He will die sooner or later, we will not move him, and the Public Security Bureau will not spare him. The people from the Public Security Bureau said that he had committed the crime of intentional homicide, and now there are seven or eight people seriously injured, so shouldn't he still die? ”

"But no one has died yet."

"The crime of intentional homicide is subjectively motivated to kill, and even if the murder is not made, it is accidental, and the crime of homicide is established. Kui Yong, don't be superstitious about how good he is, what 'the number one killer in the capital', he is just a fool. It's fashionable to fight these days, and the stubborn lords of the whole city are just fighting, pulling out their parts, that's all. The little bastard, a fool, is going to kill people as soon as he comes up, this is carrying his head and doing it with the whole society, isn't this looking for death? Listen to my advice and stay away from him. ”

"I can't control the public security bureau arresting him, but I can't ignore you if you move him, and I can't help but be righteous."

Zhong Yuemin sighed and said, "I can't help it, I've already said it, Kui Yong, you can do it yourself." ”

"You don't want to hear why he did it when he saw your people?" Li Kuiyong asked.

"Why?"

"Do you remember the 'Red August' of 1966? You also had a lot of fun at that time, first you fought the 'black five categories', and then you remembered to fight hooligans, and each school set up a 'ballast team'. Whoever is a hooligan has no writing on his face, you see who is not pleasing to the eye is a hooligan, the little bastard used to be an honest child, and a neighbor had a grudge against his family, so he handed a message to the Red Guards, saying that he was a hooligan, and in this way, the Red Guards arrested him and almost killed him, and he died a big life and survived. There was a buddy in our alley who also practiced wrestling, and he was beaten to death on the spot. The little bastard has changed since then, and has become vicious. ”

"That's how he made a feud, but how could he kill people he didn't know?" Zhong Yuemin asked in surprise.

"Think about it, who started the Red Guards? It's not your cadre's son yet. You people are very fond of stinky display, and you have to make trouble wearing military uniforms when you change your ways, for fear that others will not know your identity. The little bastard recognized that the one wearing the military uniform was the cadre's son, and he was not going to anyone, but to your 'veteran' circle. ”

Zhong Yuemin showed a fierce look: "Then he is looking for death." ”

Li Kuiyong also stiffened his face: "Don't say it's him, the children of our alleys, including me, also don't like you." Aren't your parents just powerful and powerful, you have eaten and dressed well since you were a child, and even going to school is a good school, so we are born cheap, why? ”

Zhong Yuemin said coldly: "When our parents were carrying their heads to do revolution, what were your parents doing? Now that we're going to talk about equality, why did you go earlier? ”

Li Kui stood up bravely and said, "Zhong Yuemin, what annoys me the most is your bull's coaxing energy. What are you cows? Your parents are powerful and powerful, so you can't let our people's children die, right? ”

Zhong Yuemin also stood up: "I don't know how you are, the little bastard must be damned, he is dead." ”

"Don't think that you are outnumbered, and it is not certain who will kill whom." Li Kuiyong said with a gloomy face.

"Kui Yong, you are not opponents, don't be unconvinced, don't believe it, let's see, for the sake of your classmates, we will catch you in the future, and I may let you go."

"Zhong Yuemin, after we break up today, if I want to run into you again, I will use a knife to talk to you." Li Kuiyong slammed the cigarette butt on the ground and got on his bicycle to leave.

"Kui Yong." Zhong Yuemin shouted.

Li Kuiyong stopped the car, but still turned his back to Zhong Yuemin: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Are you going to go to ballet next Monday?"

"What do you mean? Want to get some news from me? Li Kuiyong asked hostilely.

"If the little bastard doesn't go, he will be planted, and he probably won't do this kind of disgrace, but if he dares to go, we will turn him into a sieve. So, Kui Yong, I hope you don't go, I beg you, okay? Somehow, Zhong Yuemin's tone was a little almost pleading.

Li Kuiyong hesitated for a moment, got on the front of the car and walked away without looking back.

Zhong Yuemin looked at Li Kuiyong's back, and his mood was complicated......
