Xiao Zixin said that he was a "third-class man" because he wanted to make Bai Xinyu happy. He teased and tested Bai Xinyu. How could he have imagined that Bai Xinyu was a serious girl who was interested in him? His words and deeds...
Every move made her pay attention, and she was even more concerned about his future? When she heard that Xiao Zixin was so hopeless, how could she bear it for a moment?
Xiao Zixin was self-defeating. He didn't expect her reaction to be so violent. Both of them were speechless.
He explained: "I'm lying, do you take it seriously?"
Bai Xinyu said: "I don't care whether you are talking nonsense or not!"
"Let's go into the house and sleep." Xiao Zixin said, this was the most uncomfortable and embarrassing time for him in the whole day.
"Where can I sleep?" Bai Xinyu asked knowingly.
"Would you like to sleep in the house?"
"I won't sleep." Bai Xinyu didn't want to, and she was even more reluctant now that she was in her current mood. In her heart, the words hadn't been explained clearly yet. Under such conditions, a girl like herself was really embarrassed to sleep with their family.
together.
However, Xiao Zixin was worried that if he continued talking, he would offend her. The girl's heart was so cloudy, oh my god! It's interesting to talk about sleeping at night. Xiao Zixin's house only has one kang bed, and there is a wooden partition in the middle, from top to bottom.
A kang bed was divided into two "rooms".
The house is an old house. When Xiao Zixin was seven or eight years old, her parents felt that it was inconvenient for their children to grow up and they did not have the money to build a new house. Later, they found wooden boards and nailed the partition. The parents slept outside, and Xiao Zixin and her sister slept inside.
There are many new houses in the village, and it is common for guests or family members to go out to "find a place to stay" during holidays or festivals. Xiao Zixin's mother asked her son behind his back: "Do you want your father to do it, or do you want to go to your fifth master's house to find a place to stay?"
Xiao Zixin shook his head and said no, he lived with his parents and just let Bai Xinyu sleep in a small room inside.
So, while Xiao Zixin and Bai Xinyu were still talking outside, my mother saw that it was getting late, so she got up and took a new quilt from the quilt rack, and put it down for Bai Xinyu in the inner room.
It was October weather, and it was already cold at night. She was afraid that the girl wouldn't be used to it, so she put a quilt on her early. Then she went outside to put down three quilts in the big room, and went down to the outhouse to add a large wooden blanket to the stove pit.
Xiao Zixin, who was very lively all day long, faced Bai Xinyu who suddenly looked a little angry and sad. He had no idea and said less. The two stood outside for a long time without talking. It was really uncomfortable, so he whispered
She coaxed Bai Xinyu and told her that she was not as unambitious as she thought. He said that he was a "third-class man", but he was actually telling her a joke, "How can you believe it?"
He argued anxiously: "Don't I want to work hard and strive to be a second-class man or a first-class man?"
Bai Xinyu whispered: "Whether you work hard or not, it has nothing to do with me. I won't listen."
Since she met Bai Xinyu and started dating him, this was the first time that she had lost her temper. Xiao Zixin sighed sadly. In the emergency, he thought back to when he was in college, and when his girlfriend got angry with him, it was always the same.
How was it resolved?
Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of any similar examples, and there was no mature and ready-made experience to learn from. At that time, my girlfriend only looked up to others and didn't dislike him for being poor. Many times, the two of them laughed and ran outside the school to have a meal.
After a meal at the food stall, my ex-girlfriend was completely satisfied. She kissed and hugged her, and she had no record of asking him to make progress.
Xiao Zixin had no choice but to persuade her in low tones, hoping that she would magically become happy in the blink of an eye.
But, no.
Later, Bai Xinyu wiped his eyes, stood up, and entered the room silently without saying a word.
Xiao Zixin hurriedly turned around and got up, took the small stool, and followed her into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, a pile of pine wood was still burning in the big stove in the countryside. There was a crackling sound, and a pleasant smell of pine oil floated throughout the house. When he entered the house, Xiao Zixin saw it.
When I saw my parents watching TV, I saw them entering the house and smiled.
The mother roasted some pine seeds and melon seeds to serve her son's "girlfriend". Bai Xinyu also smiled at them. After one glance, he understood the pattern of sleeping at night. He walked inside in silence, and Xiao Zixin sat over, "Hey,
Please be happy, okay?"
"Try this, have you ever eaten it?" Xiao Zixin placed a woven basin of melon seeds and pine seeds in front of her, put one in her mouth, and showed her.
"Eat."
"Is it delicious?"
"fragrant."
The two people were whispering there, and the old couple continued to watch TV, but their ears were perked up unconsciously, but they couldn't hear anything.
Later, they went out again and stood at the gate, waiting for the topic of men and some social issues to start arguing again.
Bai Xinyu said: "Actually, I was just like you when I first graduated. I didn't have any ideals or ambitions. I just wanted to find an easy job. I'm not a girl who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. In fact, what you said is third-class.
I have long known about second-class and first-class men. However, this is the case in society now, don’t you really understand? Who doesn’t want to make progress? If you don’t make progress, where will the status and money come from? Without status, you shouldn’t do it
What else can a third-class man do? Are you willing to be a man with no future for the rest of your life?"
Xiao Zixin said: "Oh, aunt, sister, sister, okay? Didn't I tell you just now? I was just joking with you, do you still take it seriously? I am speechless, I am really speechless.
"
He didn't want to make her angry or sad anymore. She could just say whatever she wanted and just listen.
"Do you understand, even those 'third-class men' you mentioned are different. There are two situations when renting a car or a house. One is those who can afford to buy a car or a house but don't do it; the other is those who are unable to buy a house or a car but are still happy with it.
.Have you heard? They have different realms and pursue different pursuits: concerts, travel, reading, entertainment, etc. Spiritual consumption accounts for a considerable proportion of daily consumption. There is a sharp contrast between second-class men and third-class men: they value spirituality.
Light in material, broad in vision, open to optimism, enterprising, and full of fighting spirit; high in mobility, it is the source of social vitality and creativity, and the hope for social progress and change. Do you understand?"
Xiao Zixin nodded and bowed: "I understand, haha, I understand everything about your education and hum teaching."
Bai Xinyu chuckled: "Fuck you, annoying! You're just humming."
Seeing that she was no longer angry, Xiao Zixin complained: "Actually, do you think I am stupid? I have been sitting in government agencies for more than half a year in vain? I don't understand anything except work? It is because I understand that I am so discouraged. I am petitioning
Yes, you know the nature of the job, so no matter how hard you work for it, what else can you do?"
Bai Xinyu glanced at him and said, "Come on, stop making excuses."
"Have you not heard that having a good job is not as good as having a good father? Don't understand that being a good person and doing things means having both ability and political integrity. I finally understand it and have a deep understanding that being a person is all about relationships. Doing things is actual work.
, it doesn’t matter whether this is true or not. To be a human being is to weave oneself as a point into the web of up, down, left, and right, and become part of this web.”
Bai Xinyu looked at Xiao Zixin in surprise again, feeling that what he said made sense, at least she hadn't thought of it before.
"Let's just talk about our Director Liu. Whoever has strong work ability does not mean that he has strong ability to do things, but that he has strong ability to be a person. Haha, look at those who understand ability as doing things. It's strange that they have a good life. You
When it comes to joining the Party, do you think joining the Party is so easy? I fought for it in school, but now I am still a novice."
"So, are you discouraged?" Bai Xinyu stared at Xiao Zixin.
"Yes!" Xiao Zixin admitted frankly.
"It's so easy to make excuses and have no future."
"Really! You don't believe it?"
"Do not believe!"
Bai Xinyu scolded Xiao Zixin for blindly seeing Mount Tai. She said that I used to imagine how beautiful Niangniang Village was. When I came to take a look, it was really good, but the situation in your family is like this. You just don't think about yourself, don't you?
Don’t you want to think about your old man?
She said: "Do you believe it? If I didn't have my own pursuits and ambitions, I wouldn't have to go to work. I would still have everything I want and live a comfortable life. I don't work to make money. My parents can still afford it if I don't make money.
Me, I can do whatever I want! But why am I still willing to get up early and work late at night? I just want to reflect my own value and strive to be a first-class woman on my own in the future."
She added: "I am a party member now. I joined when I was in school. Now the bank leaders are training me to take care of important accounts and things. They may be looking at my father's face, but I don't think so. They are
Take a fancy to my other side and fight for it!"
Xiao Zixin complained secretly and pretended to listen. This topic, heavy, dull, and all the good things, turned out to be misleading. In fact, it was not because of work, but after he was with Bi Ying, he slowly developed the feelings.
Such negative attitudes and thoughts. How can I explain these clearly in front of Bai Xinyu? I dare not say them.
Depressing!
However, working for nearly a year has indeed had a great impact and stimulation on him. Xiao Zixin also tried to tell Bai Xinyu his true thoughts. He said: "I have some other ideas to tell you.
, can you give me a reference?"
Bai Xinyu said: "Speak."
"Not to mention anything else, I have seen with my own eyes that some leaders and some wealthy people in the county are equipped with cars and houses for first-class men, including elites from all walks of life such as workers, peasants, officials, students, and businessmen. They truly rely on their ability to make a living.
There is no need to say more if I am convinced. For example, if the county magistrate remembers the villa and rides in a BMW, even people who have no ideal state will be jealous, let alone me who have always been pretentious? On the contrary, it would be abnormal not to be like this."
Bai Xinyu shouted: "That's right! Then why don't you learn from others?"
Xiao Zixin said: "How to learn? Who can help me? If I struggle alone, I don't know how long it will take for my turn to come!"
The terrible thing is that after leaving school and entering society, what he saw in the county was that most of these people quickly transformed into pseudo-elites after becoming elites. Before becoming elites, they were like second-class men, but their vision and ability were...
The enterprising spirit and so on are even better, but they have a clear career path and are often veritable trendsetters in their respective fields.
But after becoming an elite, he has his own power, his own car, his own house, and his own red roof. He has become a vested interest, and his heart is filled with trepidation. Once he understands this, Xiao Zixin feels doubly sad.
I lose all my mood at any time. So my personality automatically becomes dwarfed, I think conservatively, and I don’t want to make progress. I open my eyes and tell lies. Unexpectedly, I am depressed tonight, and Bai Xinyu looks down on me.
In Xuanpu County, there are many such examples, especially in the official and business circles, which are full of pseudo-elites. The proportion of elites is very small, but they occupy a large proportion of the distribution. In this way, cars and houses are just used as chips for establishment. But they can
There are very few men who can achieve the goal of "not being able to seduce when they are rich or noble, not move away from poverty or humbleness, and cannot be bent by force".
Bai Xinyu suddenly said: "Xiao Zixin, if you really want to do it well, I will ask my father to help you!"
Xiao Zixin was proud, hehe, it seems that girls are girls after all, so he made a little plan and the opportunity finally came: "Really?"
"The devil lied to you!"
Xiao Zixin didn't even think about it and immediately climbed up the pole: "Well, as long as your father helps me, I am determined to become an official!"
