Chapter 238 Whose Feast?

Fan Wubing agreed to the request of the two old men, left his contact information, and then left with Tong Xiaoyun.

The two old men were very knowledgeable and interesting, and gave Tong Xiaoyun a few thread-bound books, all of which were from the period of the Republic of China, which seemed to be novels of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School.

Fan Wubing didn't think there was anything special about this thing, he had collected it before, and all his collections were rare books, books with academic value or historical value, and things like this kind of novels were always scoffed at. Fan Wubing believes that throughout the ages, it is difficult for people who write novels to wait for the elegant court.

It may be said that good novels can infect and educate people, but we have to admit that novels like the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School basically have more dross than essence. During the Cultural Revolution, they were a first-class poisonous weed. !

"Although it is a spiritual opium, it can still show a bit of petty bourgeois sentiment when placed in the bookcase." Fan Wubing said to Tong Xiaoyun teasingly.

"Petty bourgeoisie?" Tong Xiaoyun asked a little puzzled.

"Petty bourgeoisie is the abbreviation of petty bourgeoisie, especially those young people who yearn for Western thought and life, and pursue inner experience, material and spiritual enjoyment. Petty bourgeoisie is often a derogatory term, and even becomes a symbol of decadence. Such people do not think Enterprising, not thinking about national affairs, just pursuing the comfort of personal life, so it has always been regarded as a decadent way of life, which is intolerable to the proletariat. Therefore, if this kind of person is placed in the 1960s and 1970s, they are all The object of criticism." Fan Wubing said to Tong Xiaoyun with a smile.

"If you say that, it should be a derogatory term." Tong Xiaoyun was very dissatisfied that Fan Wubing used this term to associate with herself.

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "As far as today's society is concerned, the above statements are not objective. The word petty bourgeoisie has evolved into a life attitude and a way of life. Permeated with a perception and understanding of life and life, it is a romantic interest that is higher than the law of reality. Everyone hopes to have this romantic interest. To enjoy life and feel the beauty of life. Only with full confidence in life Only a person can have a positive attitude towards life, otherwise how can he enjoy romance?"

"Then you've been talking for a long time, is this sentiment good or bad?" Tong Xiaoyun was dazzled by Fan Wubing's two completely different explanations before and after, and asked a little bewildered.

Fan Wubing said with a smile, "How can it be so easy to distinguish between good and bad? If you like it, it's good. If you don't like it, it's bad. Although this kind of words sound more idealistic, it's the truth. Regardless of It is between a nation, a society, a class, a country, or an individual. What you like is good. What you don’t like is bad, and you need to fight. From this perspective, there is no absolute standard of good or bad. And there is only one standard of what is good or bad for yourself.

"

"I feel that what you said is more profound than what our political teacher said—" Tong Xiaoyun had to make her own evaluation of Fan Wubing's words.

"That has depth. I just have some strengths." Fan Wubing replied with a pun.

But it is obvious that Fan Wubing is the bright pearl cast in the dark. Tong Xiaoyun didn't realize the hidden meaning in his words at all. This made Fan Wubing feel a little defeated.

"My parents are busy at night. Where shall we go for dinner?" Tong Xiaoyun asked Fan Wubing.

Just now when Fan Wubing was fascinated by reading a book. Tong Xiaoyun has already gone out and made a phone call. Aunt Ding and Tong Yushan both have work to do. No time at night. It is estimated that they may not necessarily go home. So Tong Xiaoyun asked for Fan Wubing's opinion.

"Is there any need to think about it? Let's go out for a romantic night. Petty bourgeoisie." Fan Wubing naturally didn't bother to go back to the dormitory to cook. ran all day. I read the book for a long time again. My mind was in a mess. There is a great need for a hearty and ready-made meal.

So the two of them drove out of the school and came to Nanjing Road. Then park the car and walk on the street. At this time, the lights are on, and many lovers are walking on the street holding hands. As the saying goes, there are only men and women in the world of mortals, but people are the origin of all the world.

Along the way, Fan Wubing and Tong Xiaoyun visited many shops, including food stalls. There are small restaurants. There are also big hotels and some fast food restaurants. Inside the large floor-to-ceiling glass, many people sat at the table by the window, drinking or eating, and chatting depressedly.

Fan Wubing looked at it, and suddenly felt a little emotional, so he pointed to the scene on the road and said to Tong Xiaoyun, "We have come this way, and we have actually witnessed the current urban life."

"What do you mean?" Tong Xiaoyun felt that Fan Wubing was unfathomable, but he still said that he had no depth and only had strengths, so he didn't know whether it was humility or what it meant.

Fan Wubing pointed at the food stalls and the noisy people dining in small restaurants over there, and said, "These are the lives of ordinary people, eating is eating, and will not be combined with other life perceptions."

Oh, makes sense. Tong Xiaoyun nodded and listened to Fan Wubing continue to play.

"Over there is the life of the bourgeoisie, with extravagance and luxury, but it requires quite ample funds to pay for it, which is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine." Fan Wubing pointed at a skyscraper next to him, five Star foreign hotel.

Most of the people who come and go there are quite rich people, politicians or bosses, as well as rich foreigners.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Wubing pointed to another place, and saw that there were many decorations of different styles behind the large glass, and under the decorations, people were quietly sipping milk tea or fruit juice. Tong Xiaoyun, the young men and women on the ground, looked over and found that the clothes and conversation of these people were more like a group of people with taste.

"These people can be regarded as people with minor qualifications." Fan Wubing said with a chuckle, "They like to wear casual clothes, and they are branded clothes, but few people will wear the ostentatious popular brands like Adidas and Nike. They choose What they prefer are the second-line products of first-class brands. This is not only their clothing standard, but also the general standard for them to choose all daily necessities. It is necessary to leap above the public, but also to draw a line with the rich people, limited by the economic base, and powerless Chasing first-class brands. This is one of the typical petty bourgeois sentiments. They are both stubborn and fanatical, but they are just two extremes.”

They always stand on the fringes and corners of the mainstream and the masses.

They disdain to associate with fashion. On the eve of the arrival of fashion, they pursue it vigorously, and when the peak of fashion arrives, they become the spur of fashion again.

They also have to run around for their livelihood, but they will never talk about it, so most of them are melancholy and reserved. They yearn for a stable life in essence, but they often pretend to be wandering and vagabond.

To sum up, the so-called petty bourgeois sentiment is actually a kind of stubbornness and fanaticism, fringe and non-mainstream, melancholy and reserved, and it is used to flaunt its own uniqueness.

Fan Wubing held Tong Xiaoyun's hand and said with a smile, "This is Petty Bourgeois, he may be a melancholy poet under the moonlight, he may be a wild singer in a bar, or he may be a professional in an office building who organizes documents while drinking coffee. female."

Feeling the warm feeling from Fan Wubing's palm, Tong Xiaoyun couldn't help but tighten it tightly, intersecting his fingers, and then asked with some uncertainty, "Then, should I be a public, or a petty bourgeoisie, or something else?" ?”

Fan Wubing patted Afraid Tong Xiaoyun on the back, and said with a smile, "You are just a student."

"Do you think I'm naive?!" Tong Xiaoyun thumped Fan Wubing twice angrily, then dragged him forward, found a rather luxurious hotel, and said to him, "I'll eat this tonight." Home!"

This one! Fan Wubing looked up, and couldn't help sighing secretly, if the amount of banknotes in his purse hadn't been increasing at any time, he really couldn't afford to live the life of such a top rich person. Can't afford it.

But after Fan Wubing went in for a while, he regretted it a bit.

Because he suddenly discovered that the three girls who had an affair with him were sitting in the hall to rest, probably waiting for someone.

"Wubing?" Feng Ping couldn't help shouting when she spotted Fan Wubing wandering in and Tong Xiaoyun holding hands with him.

Fan Wubing touched his nose with his free hand, and asked with a wry smile, "You three are in such a good mood! It's such a wonderful fate that I can meet you at every meal. Fengping, Chen Bisong Sitting on the leather bench opposite Fan Wubing, the three girls, Chen Jingchu and others, were staring at him and Tong Xiaoyun intently.

Fan Wubing wanted to slip her hand out of Tong Xiaoyun's without showing any traces, but unfortunately Tong Xiaoyun seemed to have some objections, so she tightened her hand tightly and firmly grasped Fan Wubing's right hand. , which made Fan Wubing feel a little up and down in his heart.

"Okay, then let's take a look, whose feast is it for tonight?" Fan Wubing was a little dissatisfied with Tong Xiaoyun's domineering behavior, although everyone had broken through the ** distance, but Before this kind of publicity, there is no need to play such narrow-mindedness, right?

Therefore, Fan Wubing simply let go of his heart, no longer thinking about the consequences that might make him unhappy, but took Tong Xiaoyun's hand very naturally, and used the other free hand to sort out his own. collar, and then opened his arms very freely, smiled and walked towards Fengping and other three girls.
