Chapter 355: No Gentleman in the Heat
For some reason, this summer in the capital is hotter than in previous years.
Starting as early as June, the temperature has soared, running from 30 degrees to 40 degrees almost without any twists and turns.
This not only greatly promoted the cold drink industry in Beijing, but also caused the tricycles waiting for goods to be queued for several miles in front of the "Polar Bear" factory every day. People in the capital became restless.
Like young people, in the past few years, they have finally become more honest and responsible when they should study and work.
But this summer is obviously not going to stop.
Because of the heat, young people can’t get down to business and can’t stay at home.
But if you go out, you still like to have quarrels and disputes.
For example, a collision in a public place, or a bicycle scratching each other.
Or who stepped on whose toes, or who lined up to add a stopper.
In the past, trivial matters that could be resolved with just "I'm sorry" now require quarreling in the street, or even a big fight.
After learning the fighting spirit of the women's volleyball team for a long time, in the end they all used punches and kicks to fight.
This is still talking about those young people who have schools and work units.
After all, they still have an organization in charge.
It’s even worse for those unemployed young people who have no place to live and are still doing nothing.
Most of them spend their days on the streets.
Because I have no hope for the future and my spirit is empty, I have to imitate the thieves and robbers in Garrison's Suicide Squad, forming gangs and causing trouble.
The weather is so hot, and under the dual effects of anger and temper.
Of course they are like taking stimulants, and they want to stir up society into chaos.
This group of people even fight at a different level than ordinary people.
Ordinary people use fists and kicks, and most of them fight alone.
It is normal for them to mess with each other and fight in groups.
It is too common to hold bricks and wine bottles, and it is not uncommon to hold knives, shovels, and chains, and it is necessary to see blood.
Even because the weather is hot, people like to go to bed late and go out for activities, so they wear less clothes.
There are also many criminals among these people who specifically target young orphans.
As a result, men and women who are in love no longer even like to go to the park.
At night, people don’t even want to go to the cinema.
Lesbians are still frightened when they get off the night shift, even if their family members pick them up.
It can be said that these people have essentially become the biggest disruptors of social order and a factor of social instability.
But having said that, young people certainly have bad tempers and are indeed prone to impulsiveness.
But in such weather, older people may not always be able to stay calm.
You must know that at present, ordinary people have no immediate means to relieve the heat and heat.
Refrigerators are not yet popular these days, let alone air conditioners.
It would be great if anyone could have an electric fan.
But such modern enjoyment is also affected by frequent power outages, so that it is reduced to a mere formality and has little effect.
Think about it, no matter how cold it is in winter, you can still put on extra clothes, even if you are at home with the stove under the quilt.
But there’s nothing you can do about it if it’s hot. You can’t just peel off a layer of skin?
Especially after the deep summer heat, it was really hot from the sky, steamers on the ground, hiding everywhere, hiding everywhere, the heat was so sultry day and night that it was breathless.
There is a saying in Beijing, "There is no gentleman in the heat."
On the surface, it means a gentleman who is most particular about well-dressed people. In this kind of weather, one can go bare-backed without being laughed at.
But in fact, this sentence can also describe that people are affected by the heat, and it is difficult to avoid being impetuous and unable to maintain a calm demeanor.
Facts have proved that during this period, almost every day, a family quarreled in every alley.
Either the husband and wife quarreled over trivial matters, or I was lecturing my son. Mom’s scolding of her daughter, or the discord between brothers and sisters.
Anyway, there are internal disputes within the family, and it is common to see people blushing and having thick necks.
Who can say that this is not caused by the hot weather?
The most terrible thing is that it's just too hot.
Recently, a lot of sad and angry things have happened in society, causing trouble for everyone.
For example, Zhang Hua, a student from the Air Force Medical Department of the University, died gloriously while trying to save an old farmer who had taken out manure and fallen into a manure tank.
He is obviously a hero worthy of admiration, but there are all kinds of people, so Zhang Hua's sacrifice without hesitation is not worth it.
To say that he failed the country's training is irresponsible to himself and to society. For another example, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of an Asian island country actually falsified the history of the invasion of China when approving textbooks.
They downplayed the aggression as an "invasion" into our country, and slandered the massacre as being caused by our vigorous resistance.
This is simply confusing right and wrong and seriously distorting and beautifying the history of the invasion of China.
These bastard things at home and abroad make people feel angry and have evil fire burning in their foreheads.
It really seems to be deliberately joining forces with the hot weather to challenge the limits of people's hearts.
As long as you are human, you will inevitably want to get angry and need to find a channel to vent your negative emotions.
So under such circumstances, who can still enjoy the fun of summer and live happily and comfortably.
Except for those inconsiderate children, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui are probably the only ones left in the capital.
Children are simple-minded and full of energy.
Their source of happiness is very simple. Just having fun all day long is enough.
They are little goldfish, grasshoppers and dragonflies who love summer.
Also love watermelon, soda and popsicles in summer.
And they don’t care at all about the face that adults can’t wipe away.
Not to mention daring to run around naked, I can still enjoy the "spine-rushing" feeling from my mother every day.
Summer is the most suitable season for them to release their lively nature, so no matter how hot it is, the impact on children will be very limited.
As for the happiness of Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui, it is much more adult and secular.
That belongs to the other extreme, which comes entirely from the acquisition of wealth and the material enjoyment it brings.
It must be said that in the eyes of the general public, the high temperature in this summer is completely unimaginable, and it is an unavoidable ordeal.
It seems that no matter who you are, you are still helpless in this kind of weather. You can only rely on endurance and get through it. Everyone suffers the same fate.
But to be honest, this is pure Ah Q spirit.
It is entirely because poor people cannot imagine a prosperous life that they come to this self-righteous conclusion.
In fact, facing the same heat, people are really different.
No matter what they say, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui still rent a small courtyard. The space you have is very different from that of ordinary people.
Can three or five people crammed into a small house in a large courtyard be the same as living in a detached courtyard?
Is chatting under the big locust tree on the street the same as enjoying the cool under the flower and fruit trees and grape trellises in your own yard?
For example, brothers Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui decided to stay in Huanghuamen if they wanted to catch the hot weather.
I didn’t even bring any cooked food. I bought some cooked food and cold dishes from outside, and just drank cold fruits, beer, and soda.
Then I sat on the mat and looked at the stars, drinking, smoking, and chatting. Isn’t it beautiful?
If you feel sleepy, just fall asleep. Wouldn’t it be nice?
Reheat? If it gets hotter, they can stay in the air-conditioned Jianguo Hotel.
There is no power outage there.
A variety of drinks, soft drinks, summer dance parties, and live performances are available for entertainment.
This is the difference between having money and having no money.
Even the people they care about are much more comfortable in the summer.
Don’t forget, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui sell cigarettes, alcohol and home appliances.
So they can get beer that others can't get.
The two of them have already equipped their own homes with refrigerators that are difficult for others to buy.
Even if they are enjoying themselves in the Huanghuamen courtyard.
Kang Shude and Luo Guangliang in the courtyard can also drink ice-cold beer every night.
As long as Liu Weijing is happy, he can happily eat ice cream with a spoon at home and watch TV at any time.
All in all, it is in this kind of nourishing day that ordinary people cannot achieve.
Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui hugged Yinzi from all sides with ease.
Every day I watched with my own eyes how the prototype of my industry was successfully built step by step.
The tobacco and alcoholic beverages they stored in the library, no matter the grade, were liquidated at an alarming speed and flowed back like a stream.
And soon, the phone number in the Yantai Hotel was set up, and the decoration was completed...
