Return To 1977 Chapter 409: Dismissal

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

What Hong Yanwu said made sense, but he spoke a little too casually.

Some words, if you think about it carefully, had the effect of ridiculing many people at the table.

Who can listen without feeling awkward?

So what was originally a joyful eating and drinking party was met with an awkward silence after what he said, and no one continued to speak.

Hong Yanwu soon thought about this himself.

It's a bit wrong to think about it.

The other party was Yang Weifan’s family, relatives and friends. They originally had good intentions and wanted to change his job, but if he didn’t want to, let it go. He talked so much incessantly that it seemed like he took the opportunity to teach everyone a lesson. Give people guidance and educate people about life.

This inevitably makes people think that he is a bit arrogant, and he has hurt people's face without good reason.

To use a common saying, it means "poor and poor".

Why bother?

As a result, he felt very embarrassed and took the initiative to laugh at himself.

He said he had no knowledge and was a rough guy. I am a humble citizen originally, and I only have the vision of living in a cricket jar. If I said something inappropriate, it was purely unintentional, so please forgive me.

After speaking, he raised his glass in a very low manner and walked over, bowing and toasting Yang Yaohua with a glass of wine. This is similar to asking for forgiveness.

Of course Yang Yaohua's mind is not that narrow-minded. The old general laughed and said, "You are a funny guy. I didn't expect you to have the debating eloquence of a philosopher." He was forgiven and the matter was revealed.

Yang Weifan was also very knowledgeable. In order to save his buddy, he immediately changed to another topic.

He deliberately asked his mother what new show the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe" was rehearsing and whether there was anything new in the troupe.

When it came to this, Moody talked a lot, and he spoke vividly and interestingly.

She said that the group lacked Western musical instruments and she would like to apply to buy some violins. But a newly-promoted clerk didn't know what he was doing and thought the price was too expensive, so he decided to make it on his own and ordered the carpenters in the regiment to make it. The carpenter couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to complain to a more senior leader.

She also said that she had an accident while performing in the model play of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". The gong used for the effects backstage was knocked off by a soldier who sneaked in to enjoy the show. Thanks to the quick wit of the actor who played "Mountain Eagle", he added a line on the spot, "Come here, let's see what's going on down the mountain." The situation was saved. And in this way, the "bandits" also understood it, responded "Yes, Third Master" and went backstage to arrest people...

These jokes immediately made everyone laugh.

In addition, Moody also mentioned by the way that there is a girl named Su Xiaoming in "Haifang" who has a good voice and a good image. She is a young girl who the group plans to focus on cultivating.

Zhou Manna and Xuan Ye were very interested and asked for details. Moody said that there would be another performance at Haiphong in a few days, and if they wanted to go and see it, she could find them tickets.

In this way, the atmosphere of the conversation completely ended and became lively again.

Subsequently, Zhou Manna and Xuan Ye chatted about the internal anecdotes of their "general affairs department". The topic then returned to the family's usual track. The harmony and comfort that the dining table should have been completely restored.

Hong Yanwu, on the other hand, acted honestly and never said a word again.

Needless to say, this was all caused by those words just now.

Obviously you are from the lower reaches, why do you have to get along with Yangchun Baixue?

Having learned from the past, he is not willing to make trouble again. Now I can get down the stairs more smoothly and save my brother's face, which is not easy.

After dinner, naturally neither Hong Yanwu nor Chen Liquan wanted to stay any longer. Although the hosts were still trying to persuade them to stay, they still insisted on leaving after thanking them repeatedly.

Before leaving the house, Yang Yaohua specially called the two of them to his side and shook hands with them one by one to say goodbye.

He also asked them to come back during the Chinese New Year and eat sausages and blood cakes at home. They said it was an indispensable flavor food during the Chinese New Year in their hometown and it was famous for its deliciousness.

Even Moody said, "The things you sent are very good. We like them very much. We are happy today. I hope you are happy too."

Their attitude cannot be said to be insincere. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan also politely agreed, showing the reserve and courtesy of people in the capital.

But in fact, both parties know each other well. Invitees will not come. The inviter would not mention the matter again. This attendance may really be just an accident.

Sure enough, when Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan finally walked towards the gate. Except for Yang Weifan and Han Shan, who saw off the guests on behalf of Yang Yaohua, no one else from the Yang family followed them out.

This undoubtedly reflects the true attitude of most people in the Yang family.

In fact, according to the rules of seeing off guests, the host must at least let the guest down the steps and watch the guest leave.

But no one else showed up in the room. They all put on airs and stayed inside without bothering to show up.

To them, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were still insignificant and insignificant people.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu had already expected this. In his eyes, these are just objective inevitabilities of existence in real society.

In other words, this kind of polite respect or disdain is not actually directed at him as a person. It is the attitude towards his social status and social identity.

If we really want to be serious, he, a temporary worker who washes pig intestines, has to go against the whole world.

What's more, after eating and drinking from others, Han Shan and Yang Weifan, who were appointed by Yang Yaohua, had to drive them back.

Why should he care about those frivolous things?

Striding out of the Yang family's door, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan found that snowflakes had begun to fall from the sky where the north wind was blowing, and the ground outside was already dark.

Knowing that the road would definitely be difficult, the two of them were not polite and got into Han Shan's jeep.

As for Yang Weifan, Hong Yanwu rejected his "kindness" on the grounds that he had been drinking and had to accompany guests. There was no chance for this kid to escape Zhou Manna.

In the end, under Yang Weifan's resentful eyes, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan left in the car.

But I still have to say that although they are gone. It's true that no one is reluctant to leave them.

But whether they were willing or not, what Hong Yanwu said during the banquet today left a deep impression on everyone and had a profound impact.

This was quickly revealed after they took their leave.

The first is the conversation between Yang Weijiang, Zhou Manna and Ye Xuan in the living room while eating after-dinner fruit.

Yang Weijiang was particularly disdainful of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. When he heard the sound of cars outside, he started to ridicule them unscrupulously.

"Look, who are Xiao Liuer's friends with? They wash pig intestines. They are still working together. We invited him to our home with good intentions and wanted to help him, but in the end he didn't Don’t know how to promote yourself! What nonsense is this? It’s just lazy and cunning, and it’s so shameless.”

Of course Zhou Manna had to follow Yang Weijiang’s instructions.

"That's right. When things go smoothly, he always wants to be comfortable. It's obviously going downhill and negative, but he thinks he's in a good place. If we weren't a socialist country, this kind of people would have starved to death. Purely. It’s a common problem among ordinary people! Look at the unreasonable things that have made us angry! Our ‘Little Leaf’ has never suffered this kind of injustice!”

But none of them expected that Xuan Ye, who had really suffered a setback, would not be so resentful towards Hong Yanwu.

"Hey, I actually have nothing to do with it, it's just a verbal dispute. Thinking about it afterwards, the 'umeboshi theory' is quite vivid. And at least one sentence is right, the world is still rich and colorful. Take the man surnamed Hong as an example. He is obviously a typical old Beijing native. People like him who live in hutong live a completely different life, speak, behave, and think like the people we usually interact with. It’s different. Don’t you think it’s interesting? I’ve never heard of many of the things he mentioned. What are fried liver and butter fried cakes? Isn’t grasshopper only available in summer? How can I raise it in winter? I should have asked him carefully just now..."

Yang Weijiang and Zhou Manna looked at each other, both of them looking unhappy. Admonish together by chance.

Yang Weijiang said, "Xiaoxuan, your curiosity is very dangerous! I tell you, you should have less contact with such people in the future! Don't forget that existence determines consciousness. In the bottom life, people like Wang Guofu' How many capable people are there who live in Changgongwu and look at the world? Most of the "Hutong Chuanzi" are full of market mentality and short-sightedness. They talk about food, clothing, housing and transportation all day long. Dealing with them will only make you mediocre, vulgar and boring!"

(Note: Wang Guofu, born in 1922. He fled famine to Beijing when he was 12 years old and later settled in Dabailou Village, Daxing County. He was a labor model who established a mutual aid group in the 1950s and led farmers out of poverty and became rich. In 1969, the whole village was moved by his , basically lived in a new house, but he himself still lived in the old "Changgong House" and died of illness in January 1970. The People's Daily and major newspapers across the country prominently reported on it. A long communication of his deeds. He thus became the prototype of Haoran's novel "Golden Avenue")

Zhou Manna also said, "Yes, what's so interesting? My little princess, you are really unworldly. Do you know what kind of life the people in the alley live? Most of the houses in the alley have one room. Half of the room is crowded with kangs, and in the dog days of summer, I can only sit on the curb to enjoy the cool weather. I wish I could eat a steamed bun and draw lots. Don't look at the guy surnamed Hong who claims that he is not short of money, but he just doesn't have it. A man of knowledge is just looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. How much knowledge can he have? I don’t know what my surname is when I have some money in my hand! I’m still wondering how to tell Wei Fan to stay away from them. Don’t be stupid, girl!”

Seeing how violently the two of them reacted, Ye Xuan winked playfully and said nothing more.

It's just in my heart... But no one can care about her.
