Qin Laoshuan felt extremely depressed. Wherever he went in the village, he was the undisputed boss and the focus of attention.
But today he had to put on a smile here with Qin Huai, and the key point was that he couldn't understand what the two cadres were saying to Qin Huai. He felt very uncomfortable and wanted to leave, but then he thought that if he left Qin Huai alone to talk to the leader, he was afraid that he would say something nonsense and cause a bad influence.
So he had no choice but to stay and watch Qin Huai chatting and laughing with the officials, while he himself was like a fool and couldn't get a word in.
He clearly knew the meaning of each word, but why couldn't he understand when they were put together?
President Yu said: "The images that appear in "A Generation" are all very common phenomena in daily life: night, eyes, and light. However, it is the combination of these ordinary things that gives this poem a thought-provoking charm. The seemingly contradictory twists and turns contain wonderful rationality.
This contradictory logic is the essence of these two short lines of poetry. I really don’t know how Teacher Qin perfectly combines these two contradictions on these two levels.”
Director Zhou also said, "Not only that, this poem is completely new in its aesthetic principles. It avoids direct expression of emotion and abandons literal description of scenes. It does not deliberately construct a complete artistic conception, but simply uses imagery and metaphor to highlight a pair of unusual "black eyes" against a thick black background. When reading this poem, we seem to see a beam of white light shining through a gap in the dark clouds."
The captain was completely confused. "Are you speaking human language? I don't understand it, so how can Qin Huai understand it?"
But Qin Huai not only understood what they were saying, he even said:
"Teachers, in fact, this poem flowed from my mind. At that time, I was in a state of confusion. I was not like my usual self, and it seemed that I was not the real me. When I woke up, these two lines of words were deeply imprinted in my mind, as if they wanted to break free from the constraints of my brain and run out on their own."
President Yu said, "Teacher Qin, you are a genius, an absolute genius."
Director Zhou also agreed: "Teacher Qin, your achievements will definitely not stop at these two poems. Your footsteps will reach the whole world."
"What a fucking genius." Qin Laoshuan was already cursing in his heart.
Qin Huai thought to himself, "If you knew I was a despicable plagiarist, you wouldn't think so. Teacher Gu, Teacher Haizi, you can do whatever you want. After all, we are not in a parallel world. You can still rely on these two poems to become famous and successful in your original world. It's a win-win for everyone."
"Two leaders, you are too kind."
The captain really didn't like this kind of occasion. He couldn't stand the situation being out of his control and kept trying to join the conversation, but unfortunately, he didn't know what to say and didn't understand what the three people were talking about at all.
The person assigned by the captain to fetch water was Bai Laoliu. He did not dare to disobey the captain's wishes, but only carried back two half buckets. Unexpectedly, after he carried it back, the captain actually stood up to check, and saw that it was only half a bucket. He glared at him fiercely. Since there were outsiders around, he couldn't get angry, so he just looked at Bai Laoliu warningly.
Bai Laoliu immediately said, "The water tank isn't full yet. I'll go fill it up."
Then he fetched water obediently.
When President Yu heard that the bowls they drank from and the stools they sat on were borrowed, he felt sorry for Qin Huai for a long time. Qin Huai said, "Two leaders, my sister and I have lived in the village since we were very young. It is the villagers and the captain's uncle who have always taken care of us. If it weren't for their care, we would have died long ago. The village has been very good to us, so you can rest assured."
After hearing this, Qin Laoshuan felt happy and thought that Qin Huai had a conscience.
Director Zhou immediately apologized to the captain and said, "Comrade Captain, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry. Thank you for taking care of Teacher Qin."
The captain said, "We all share the surname Qin. You can't write two Qin characters with one stroke. We are family. It's only natural for us to take care of each other. You two leaders, please don't be polite."
The accompanying reporter took many photos of Qin Huai's home before saying to President Yu, "Okay."
President Yu immediately nodded to Director Zhou, and the two stood up to say goodbye, "Teacher Qin, Comrade Captain, it's getting late, and we should go back."
The captain said, "It's already dinner time. How can we let the leader go? Please bear with me for a while and have a simple meal in our village before leaving."
Director Zhou said, "No, we can't trouble the villagers. Our lives are not well-off."
President Yu's attention was fixed on Qin Huai. As he was about to leave, he said, "Teacher Qin, the newspaper has received many letters from readers since your poem was published. I'll bring them to you next time I come."
The sensibility of intellectuals always stays at the level of appreciation. Qin Huai's hard life is seen as a kind of tempering by them. It is precisely because of this hard life that Qin Huai achieved success in poetry, so they are not prepared to help Qin Huai improve his life.
After seeing the two off, the villagers gathered around, and the captain looked at Qin Huai with a complicated expression.
Sister Hong said excitedly: "Qin Huai, you are really amazing. You make money faster than the big workers in the city."
Grandma Gui said, "This little girl is lucky. She has thirty yuan, so she doesn't have to go out begging this winter."
An old man named Qin Fugui said, "Writing poetry makes so much money? I'll write a few poems to earn some money."
Someone immediately asked him, "You can't even read a single word, and you still write poetry?"
In short, it's all about envy and jealousy.
Qin Huai also felt relieved. At first, he didn't dare to spend the money he earned from selling soap openly. Now, with the excuse that President Yu took the money, he could easily explain the source of the money if he wanted to spend it in the future.
