Chapter 24 Utopia
While the two were talking, several young people came over carrying tape recorders. This time they were different from the students just now. They were all wearing toad glasses and bell-bottoms, and they were on the lawn again. Dance to the disco.
Obviously, these young people from society dance better than the students just now.
Fang Minghua noticed that the girl was looking at her seriously, so he asked:
“You also like disco?”
"I like to watch but I can't dance. I have a cousin who is in the art troupe. She can not only dance ballet, but she is also great at disco." Li Li said in a low voice.
Oh.
Perhaps it was because of Li Li's beauty. Fang Minghua noticed that the young man was looking here frequently while dancing, so he said, "Let's just walk around."
Li Li also quickly discovered this detail, nodded, and the two walked forward along the lake.
There are red flowers and green willows on the shore and rippling blue waves on the lake.
There were a lot of people rowing, and not far away there was a girl rowing on the boat singing a song:
Let us swing the oars
The boat pushes away the waves
The sea surface Reflecting the beautiful white pagoda
Surrounded by green trees and red walls
After finishing the day's homework
Let's have fun
I ask your dear partner
Who will arrange a happy life for us
Fang Minghua couldn't help but stop Step down.
The girl's voice is not very pleasant, but Fang Minghua feels the joy and enthusiasm from the heart.
Think about it a few years from now, what else will you do after you finish your homework for the day?
I also need to attend tutoring classes.
"Do you like listening to this song?" Li Li looked at him and asked.
“Yeah, it sounds pretty good.”
"But it is a children's song."
"No, no." Fang Minghua shook his head and looked at the happy girl who was still rowing and singing on the lake: "It describes an ideal life state or... Utopia."
"Utopia? What does it mean?"
"There is a passage in "The Analects" where Confucius once discussed his ideals of life and his disciple Zeng Xi replied. , "In late spring, the spring clothes are ready, five or six people with crowns, and six or seven boys, bathing in Yi, dancing in the wind, singing and returning. "
"It means that in late spring, people dressed in spring clothes, together with several adults and children, go to the Yishui River to bathe, go to the dance platform to face the wind, and then sing all the way home. ”
"The master sighed and said: I am the same! He appreciates this kind of life very much."
Speaking of this, Fang Minghua looked at the girl in front of him: "Do you like this kind of life?"
>"I like it, but isn't it very common?" Li Li replied.
Very common?
Fang Minghua smiled and did not answer.
After a few years you will realize how precious it is.
"Fang Minghua, you are so amazing. You can still remember so much of "The Analects of Confucius."" Li Li was really impressed this time.
"I am a..." As soon as Fang Minghua started to speak, the girl took over the conversation and playfully imitated his accent: "I am a doorman. I have more spare time, so I can read more."
Both laughed.
Actually, this paragraph is just a comment about this song that Fang Minghua saw on the Internet. He found it interesting and wrote it down.
The two started chatting while walking. They started talking about literature, from Homer's epics to the complete works of Lu Xun, and then slowly talked about other things.
Li Li found that the young man in front of her seemed to know a lot. He seemed to know a little bit about astronomy and geography.
“You actually understand Einstein’s theory of relativity?” The girl looked at him in surprise.
“The theory of relativity is divided into a narrow sense and a broad sense. I only know the formula E=MC2. How dare I say that I understand the theory of relativity?” Fang Minghua laughed. "But Einstein once said a very humorous statement about his theory."
"What words?"
"He said, put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it feels like an hour. Sit next to a pretty girl for a full hour and it feels like a minute - that's the theory of relativity"
"Ah? How funny!"
The girl smiled, suddenly thought of something, her face suddenly turned red and she walked silently without speaking.
Fang Minghua followed, muttering to himself
I didn’t mean to tease, this is really a joke on the Internet.
The two of them walked for a few minutes. Li Li suddenly raised her head and looked at her watch on her wrist: "Oh, we said we would meet at four o'clock. It's now half past four. My classmates are probably all gone. I have to go back quickly. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to Fang Minghua, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the park.
“Goodbye!”
Fang Minghua replied and walked in the other direction. I just chatted with the girl, but I still haven’t wandered around in some places.
Fang Minghua strolled around alone for a while, and after checking that the time was about the same, he left the park gate
To retrieve his bicycle, he suddenly found that Li Li was still at the bus stop at the entrance of the park, standing around A lot of people waiting for the bus.
So he pushed the bicycle over and asked, "What's the matter? You haven't left yet?"
"There are too many people, I can't squeeze in." The girl had to say.
Sure enough, a bus came over. As soon as the bus stopped and before there was a chance to open it, people at the bus station crowded on it, pushing Li Li outside.
"Take my car and I'll take you back." Fang Minghua said.
Huh?
I have never ridden on a boy’s bicycle.
Li Li hesitated.
Fang Minghua understood and smiled: "Okay, you wait slowly, I'll go back first, goodbye!" After saying that, he rode away.
"Hey, wait!"
Li Li shouted out in desperation. Seeing more and more people at the bus station, she gritted her teeth and made a decision.
Fang Minghua stopped and put one foot on the ground.
The girl came over slowly.
“Are you ready?” Fang Minghua asked.
"Yeah."
Fang Minghua kicked his foot and the bicycle drove forward leisurely. Li Li took a few steps and sat on the back seat of the bicycle with a slight jump.
The two figures quickly disappeared into the sea of bicycles.
Of course Li Li didn’t dare to sit behind her boyfriend’s bicycle like other girls on the street and put her arms around the boy’s waist. Instead, she held on to the back seat of the bicycle tightly. After a while, she became a little nervous. My mood slowly calmed down.
At this time, the sun sets in the west, and the city looks particularly beautiful under the setting sun.
Li Li felt very happy and couldn't help humming a song softly.
Let us swing the oars,
the boat pushes away the waves
"Li Li, you sing much better than the girl who was rowing in the lake just now." etc. After the girl finished singing, Fang Minghua said while riding his bike.
“Well I like singing!”
"What other songs can you sing?"
"Duola. I can also sing songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan."
"Really? Then let me sing."
< br>"Smoke rising again
Twilight covers the earth
I want to ask "Where are you going"
"Small Smoke"
"Sung by Teresa Teng?" "
"Yeah, you also know Teresa Teng? ! "
"I heard it. ”
"I particularly like the songs she sings."
"I like it too."
"Then can you sing?"
"A little bit."
"Can you sing for me?"
"Sweet honey, you smile so sweetly
It's like flowers blooming in the spring breeze"
While the two were riding, singing, and chatting happily, they were thousands of miles away. The atmosphere in the conference room of Yanjing's "Contemporary" magazine was a bit tense.
Because today is the day when the winning entries in the poetry contest are announced.
Thanks to the book friends for the invincible reward of warmth in winter and coolness in summer, and thanks to the boy who loves reading for his monthly vote
