It was obvious that the three young men all had the temperament of their own men, with their signature crew cuts, neat clothes, and their glances around from time to time. Chu Xi could easily guess their identities, probably those active or retired "bodyguards".
From the wise, all-seeing eyes of the old man, Chu Xi suspected he was a prominent figure in a certain field. Then, looking at the thread-bound ancient book in traditional Chinese characters, Chu Xi recalled the prominent figures of past and present lives, but still couldn't guess in which field he was an expert...
We are still in the final days of the Great Movement. Although many scholars and experts have been "rehabilitated" and returned to their original positions, there are still many "cowshed laborers" in remote areas doing hard farm work...
What’s even more regrettable is that too many older intellectuals have died unjustly due to the grief and indignation in their hearts, the injustice of the world, the torture of fate, and the "slanting eyes" treated by the deceived working people...
Without thinking too much, Chu Xi saw that the atmosphere here was quite harmonious. Although the old man was thin, he was in good spirits. He smiled when he spoke a few times during the long journey. He was probably going home or back to his previous workplace...
The communication between several young people was even simpler, almost only involving the elderly's meals and safety, and nothing else was mentioned.
After thinking about it, I understood that this is a particularly sensitive era. It may not be obvious among the general public, but people in this carriage have to be careful when speaking.
Where they came from, where they were going, and what they were doing seemed to be topics that could not be discussed casually, so the few of them simply stopped chatting, so as to avoid the listeners taking the topic seriously while the speaker was unintentional.
Don't listen, don't ask, don't tell. Everyone followed this principle thoroughly. Even though they were all very curious about the farce of the next-door reservation and Shi Peng's military-like identity, no one came to ask a single question from beginning to end, not even the "duty officer" guarding the aisle.
Chu Xi's observation went from curiosity to boredom. She didn't really want to find out other people's secrets. From the briefcase that a young man was holding tightly in his left hand, she could guess that it must be something confidential, but she didn't want to check it out.
Although she loves money, she gets it in a proper way. She can "rob the rich to help the poor", find those bad guys who are rich but unkind, or those bullies who bully the weak, or those "anti-social" people who use unconventional means. She always stays away from things that involve the country and the army.
Following your heart and giving up moderately is also the wisdom of life, otherwise it will only add to your troubles.
Be persistent but not obsessed, persist but not stubborn!
If changing direction makes it easier and more successful, then there's nothing wrong with that!
Looking at Little Stone and Aqiu who were still playing around in the lower bunk, and even the little black cat Peppa who was secretly brought up, Chu Xi smiled. Isn't the current plainness also a kind of happiness?
Suddenly, Chu Xi frowned again.
But the eldest son of the extremely dignified old lady Chu Xi imagined suddenly stood up, pretended to straighten his clothes and expression, and then walked over leisurely...
"I'm so sorry, the child was too naughty and played here for a while without me noticing. And my mom..."
As he spoke, he pretended to turn his head and look over there, as if he had something to hide.
"My mother has always lived in the countryside and is used to talking loudly all day long. Please don't mind."
The passengers nearby actually looked somewhat relieved watching this scene. If Chu Xi hadn't just "seen" his varied facial expressions, she would probably have shared their thoughts...
I just don't know what he wants to do in this drama? What is his purpose?
