Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Guo Shumiao, who has been in Hong Kong Island for a long time, is well aware of the contempt that some foreigners and banana people have for our compatriots.

To be honest, Hong Kong Island today still has a bit of colonial mentality, that is, John Bull considers himself to be first-class people, and our compatriots are also divided by them in various ways.

People who have attended foreign schools and held foreign passports have a higher status.

Those Chinese people who cannot even speak foreign languages ​​and are at the bottom of society are the lowest class in the eyes of foreigners.

As for Ah San and Ah Fei who went to Hong Kong Island to find a way to make a living at this time, to be honest, few foreigners treated them as human beings.

Just like a wealthy family would buy a valuable dog breed to guard the house.

No matter how well a dog eats, its personality cannot compare to that of a beggar wandering outside.

Of course, this is the perception of normal people.

If you kneel for too long, it is normal for people to stop doing good things and instead envy dogs.

The people of Hong Kong Island have experienced three awakenings. The first was when we won the financial defense battle after 1997. The next was when Hong Kong was returned to China. The earliest one was when that strong woman fell.

After the reform and opening up, when that strong woman fell down in our house because she was distracted after a meeting, the once-strong empire on which the sun never set has actually become a thing of the past and is considered a second-rate player in the world.

But now in the Hong Kong market, the foreigners' racial theory is still very popular.

No matter how angry Guo Shumiao was, she knew that there was no possibility of solving this problem by herself.

It is very simple to solve this problem, and Lou Xiao'e does not need to step in. Guo Shumiao only needs to write a letter of protest to St. Paul's in the name of Lou Xiao'e's sister-in-law, and then the religious teacher and Teacher Lin who came here for a home visit today will be in trouble.

But what does that mean?
They just use the Hong Kong society, especially the foreigners' recognition of their status, to oppress and bully those who are not as good as them.

To put it bluntly, Lou Xiao'e and the "Hong Kong Ho Family" are also beneficiaries of the foreigners' invisible level division.

So Guo Shumiao could only sigh and pulled He Yuan to sit down. She patiently said to He Yuan: "Do you know why your father sent you out?"

He Yuan was a little confused. She nodded and shook her head. She naturally remembered what He Yuzhu had said to her.

Let her come out to learn knowledge and see the outside world.

But in He Yuan's young mind, she really didn't like this kind of society that divided people into different classes.

The longer she stayed here, the more she missed the days in the old city.

At least in Beijing, everyone is equal.

Everyone on the street, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, can walk with their head held high.

Her father He Yuzhu would take them to the Jinshui River to fish on Sundays. Across the white marble bridge was the solemn and majestic royal garden.

"···Your father asked you to come here to learn and gain experience. This is not the purpose, but the process.

So what's the purpose?

After learning something, we can build our own home better.

You also read history books. What status do you think our ancestors, the people of the Tang Dynasty, would have if they had gone to the small countries in the Western Regions?
Why did beggars in the Han and Tang dynasties not accept charity from outsiders? ..." Guo Shumiao had experienced He Yuan's current teenage years, so he naturally knew that people like He Yuan's age were most likely to rebel.

If she forced He Yuan to study, the result might be even worse.

Therefore, Guo Shumiao could only guide her and set goals in life for her.

Loving mothers often spoil their children. In fact, the pampering of grandparents is the most deadly.

From Guo Shumiao's perspective as an outsider, He Yuan has been spoiled by He Daqing for a while. Otherwise, it would be impossible for He Yuan to be able to study patiently when she first entered that high school, but now she dares to go against the teacher.

It has been a long time since that religious teacher instilled the theory of foreign supremacy into his students.

All we can say is that He Yuan felt that she had made some achievements in the comic world, and when she returned home, she was doted on by He Daqing, which made her feel that she had grown strong enough, which led to what happened today.

“Beggars don’t accept alms, that’s unofficial history.

····Aunt, I was wrong. I know what you want to say.

I must study hard, learn something useful, and serve the country in the future." He Yuan first muttered in a low voice, but when she saw Guo Shumiao's eyes widened, she immediately gave in.

This little girl was very smart. She knew that Guo Shumiao had a bad temper. It was not easy for her to be patient and reason with her.

If she didn't listen carefully, then Guo Shumiao might turn into a female Tyrannosaurus Rex, and pulling her ears just now was just the beginning.

According to Guo Shumiao, since He Yuzhu handed He Yuan over to her, she had to be responsible for He Yuzhu and Liu Ting and could not let He Yuan indulge herself and become a useless person in the future.

If you don't listen, you will be beaten for real.

If He Daqing dared to intervene, Guo Shumiao would threaten to send a telegram back to Beijing.

He Yuan didn't want to bring shame to her family.

Guo Shumiao was naturally aware of He Yuan's eccentricity, so she patiently said, "Those are all great principles, and you understand what I understand.

I am only telling you about what I saw and heard when I was a child. I was still young when I arrived in Sijiu City.

Your uncle Guo Lei was preparing to go to the Peninsula at that time. Your father was only fifteen or sixteen years old and was helping to make fried noodles on the street. Did you know what fried noodles were?
Fry the flour with oil and salt, and then eat it when you are hungry.

It was cold, dry, and there was no water. Your uncle Guo Lei and the others could only pick up the snow around them and use it as tea.

On the snow, there might be blood left by fallen comrades.

"..."

Guo Shumiao's voice was low and suppressed. Her description was as if she had seen it with her own eyes. Not only did it move the little girl beside her, but even He Daqing could not help but stop to listen.

"... At that time, your uncle Guo Lei and his men had a hard time. They had to use fried noodles and rifles to fight against the foreign devils' planes, cannons, tanks and flamethrowers.

Your dad had a hard time back then too.

I remember that the money your grandfather left for them was all donated by your father at that time.

Your father only had a salary of 20 or 30 yuan at that time, but he would donate 10 yuan to the street every month.

The idea is to make one more bullet for our country and kill one more enemy.

I was still young at that time, and followed your dad and your aunt Yushui every day.

At that time, your father was always full of energy every day no matter how hard the life was.

I remember Sister Yushui asked your dad if we could beat the foreign devils? ..." When Guo Shumiao said this, he inevitably fell into memories.

Sometimes she chuckled, sometimes she frowned, and her words were intermittent. She was thinking carefully about the real situation at that time.

For her, that was the most memorable period of her life, and she didn't want to describe it with ambiguous words. (End of this chapter)
