A stressful day has just passed. I came back late. I am working on revising it and will update it later...
_______________________________________________________________ Niangniangzhai is a small village. Although it is rich in various myths and legends, the people are very down-to-earth and still maintain the hard-working and honest folk customs. Before dusk, the number of people begins to disappear, and after dark, the mountain roads become even more desolate.
, only after more than ten miles did I see a little light hidden in the mountains.
When Xiao Zixin and Bai Xinyu returned to the house, they were so happy that they couldn't help but smile. This was the first time that Bai Xinyu sat on the fire bed in a rural farmyard to eat. He didn't know how to cross his legs, so he laughed and crossed his legs several times.
Xiao Zixin couldn't hold her arms tightly and blushed. Xiao Zixin's mother got up and got a pillow and handed it to her. Her face suddenly turned redder and she said, "Oh, aunt, this can't be done. This is for the headrest.
How can I sit down?"
Xiao Zixin's parents didn't say anything, they just kept saying it was okay, my family doesn't pay attention to that, just sit down and eat, it's comfortable. Hehe. Xiao Zixin also reached out to help stuff the pillow under her buttocks, and the steaming meal,
The aroma was fragrant, and the table was filled with bowls and plates. The old lady was afraid that she would be embarrassed to stretch out her chopsticks, and the rice bowls in her hands were piled up like a mountain. "Eat quickly, girl, you will be full."
, eat hard.”
Xiao Zixin laughed at her with a grimace: "Look how much my mother loves you, she's so jealous!"
He asked: "Is my home good?"
Bai Xinyu nodded: "Well, that's great."
The parents always thought that their son had brought back a girlfriend, but he did not tell the truth. He was so ashamed that Bai Xinyu was angry and resentful, but she was so beautiful in her heart. In fact, Xiao Zixin was really attracted to her, and this was the one that surprised her.
, the old man made her feel more kind in her heart, and she finished the meal in a hurry, with no idea what he was talking about or what it tasted like.
Super liar!
Then, she saw the most beautiful scene in the world: Xiao Zixin moved two small stools, and they sat in the small courtyard like playful children huddled together, but they could still see the light of each one;
In the boundless wilderness and in the clear dark blue sky, there are countless, extremely bright stars all over the sky!
Some are surrounding the moon. The moon is as big as a disk but soft as water, and the stars are like needles but radiant. More stars are as light as thin clouds, melting together like milk and turning into elegant white gauze.
Bai Xinyu saw the most famous Beidou and the rumored Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and happily pointed them out to Xiao Zixin. She had never been so clear as now. More unknown stars were combined into beautiful pictures in Bai Xinyu's mind.
The patterns turned into magical legends.
"How is it, Niangniangzhaimei?"
Bai Xinyu answered honestly: "This is the real starry sky! Only this kind of starry sky can make poets chant for it, musicians can play for it, wise men can realize their enlightenment, and all living beings can dream of it. From before to now, I
I have never seen such a spectacular and beautiful starry sky again.”
"Haha," Xiao Zixin put out his hand to hug her under the guise. She dodged and pushed him hard again, whispering: "You are a liar!"
"Why did you lie?"
"Didn't you say that the rural areas are now rich and accommodation is not a problem? Look at your home, how will you sleep tonight? Where should I sleep?"
Xiao Zixin said: "I think we can sleep in the courtyard. There are trees, flowers and grape trellises, just like what is written in fairy tales. How wonderful. The key is you. Such a beautiful little beauty is accompanying me.
Dad is a county leader, oh, I’m getting drunk just thinking about it.”
The mother came out to feed the pigs with a basin. When she heard what her son said, she pretended not to hear and left quickly. Bai Xinyu whispered: "Fuck you!" At this time, some people came to visit. The men and women said they had nothing to do after eating.
, Xiao Xiaoshi, came out to visit. Bai Xinyu didn't understand, but Xiao Zixin knew in his heart that they came to see something new. The family had brought back the eldest girl. Who wouldn't want to take a look?
While Xiao Zixin was greeting them at the door, he secretly looked at Bai Xinyu from left to right, "Tsk, tsk, this girl is so handsome!"
"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky..."
Listening to the long and short sighs of admiration in the room, Bai Xinyu passed by this place, and all kinds of feelings were in his heart. Xiao Zixin did not want to take the opportunity to raise the fire too high. He knew that it is not too late to have a good meal, so he had to cook it slowly bit by bit.
Laiduo, he also knew that Bai Xinyu was a serious girl. He was afraid that she would not be able to bear it if he talked too much, so he changed the subject and said: "Hey, I heard that the essay topic for this year's college entrance examination is 'Looking up at the stars and keeping feet on the ground', and I immediately remembered
The starry sky in Niangniangzhai tonight. I wonder how many students today have seen the real starry sky? Living in a crowded city, seeing a night sky with only a few dim stars through the turbid air can be called
"Looking at the stars"?"
"Really, this is my first time, but some people say that looking up at the stars is a metaphor for young people to have dreams. However, for many people, dreams are as dim as the starry sky in the city. When the stars no longer shine, we are left with our feet on the ground.
Yes. Hey, let me ask you, what are your plans?"
Xiao Zixin immediately became energetic: "Are you talking about you and me?"
"No," Bai Xinyu said seriously: "They are asking you what your plans are for your future work?"
Xiao Zixin immediately felt a little discouraged. After a moment, he said: "What are your plans? There are a lot of plans, but just like my parents, after a lifetime of hard work or running around, they still find that they can't have anything even if they try their best.
A place where I can stay. I'm not blaming them. You said that I am a clerk in the Petition Office. It doesn't matter. There is no back door. When I can't have the stars and opportunities, I can only imagine that I have a pair of invisible wings and fly gracefully.
Go away, leaving behind the annoying discussions."
Bai Xinyu looked at him. Under the starlight, the lights in the room illuminated half of his face, which made him feel a little strange.
"Then why don't you fight for it?"
"Fight for it? How to fight for it?"
"Striving for progress," Bai Xinyu said seriously: "Are you a party member? If not, write an application as soon as you go back this time. If so, you will be closer to the organization! You don't understand this, don't think about it, how can you make progress?
?”
Xiao Zixin smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not even a member of the league, so why not join the party? So what if I join the party?"
Bai Xinyu was unhappy and pouted: "I won't tell you anymore. In the city, we don't look up at the stars. We stand on high buildings and look down at the lights and neon lights. We are still down to earth, but we may just be passing by. In the end
Purpose, who doesn’t want to own his own small place and watch the warm lights of the place? Maybe that is the most real dream of most people. You are only 23 years old. If you strive to join the party, you will have the opportunity to make progress. Didn’t you look at those
Which leader is not a party member?"
When it came to progress and joining the party, Xiao Zixin fell silent. He suddenly felt that Bai Xinyu was strange.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand what Bai Xinyu means, and he also knows that working in a government agency is the way to go as she said. Only fools don't want to be an official and don't want to make progress, but it's so easy to get into the party without doors or windows.
Is it that easy to get into?
During the six months of dealing with Bi Ying, he saw more and more clearly the importance of money and power. It was precisely because of these that he felt more and more hopeless about his future. Especially lying in the soft and luxurious room of Bi Ying's house.
When I was in bed with her, all my ideals and plans were blurred.
"Why don't you speak?"
The atmosphere turned from hot to cool, a little cold. Xiao Zixin knew it was because of himself and the topic just now. He stood up and shook his elbows. He looked back and said mockingly: "Actually, I have thought about it too. I have been working for almost a year.
What else can I do all day long besides dealing with those people who want to complain? When I see those people, I often think of me. I am not much better than them. I just have a stable job and have to pay for it.
According to society, he can only be considered a third-class man."
"Third-class man, what third-class man?"
"Haven't you heard? Third-class men rent cars and houses, second-class men buy cars and houses, and first-class men get cars and houses. I may have to be below the third class and can only live in a dormitory. I can't even afford to rent a house or a car."
Bai Xinyu fell silent.
Annoying!
so annoying!
She secretly blamed herself. She didn't expect Xiao Zixin to be such a person. She looked young and promising, so handsome and energetic, but she didn't expect that her heart would be so dark and depressing. In fact, why didn't she know those people in society?
Legend, it's just... Oh, why are you thinking about these things? Could it be that I really fell in love with the man in front of me? Whether he makes progress or not, whether he is good or bad, what does it have to do with me?
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt very depressed and sad.
There is an article that talks about what Xiao Zixin just meant. Here is the explanation: Third-class men renting cars and houses include two situations. One is those who are not wealthy, including those who earn their own living and those whose ancestors are not generous, such as the so-called black-collar or black-collar workers.
The second generation is poor. The second generation is those who pretend to be fat. They take out mortgages and loans, and are willing to be house slaves and car slaves, paying for their deformed philosophy of life without knowing it.
This kind of man has a low level of life, has vulgar and single interests, values materiality over spirituality, has a traditional small-scale peasant consciousness, and regards acquiring land as the ultimate goal of life. Conspicuous consumption uses houses, cars, etc. as the main or only symbol of success; just like a certain man.
These people, because they have no real merit, have no choice but to show off their fertility. Also, third-class men have limited vision, are mediocre, lack enterprising spirit and creative spirit; are cautious, endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, are content with the situation, and are rich in good people and obedient people; social stability and rigidity
The dominant force is also the basis for the survival of huge parasitic groups.
Oh my god! Doesn’t it seem like this is the person in front of me?
Bai Xinyu thought how stupid I was. Why did Feng Feng Huohuo come to Niangniang Village with such a person?
Thinking like this, I woke up, and tears were shining in my big eye circles. Looking up at the stars in the sky at this time, they were just like the human world, without much dazzling meaning.
