dream back

"It's good for you." Minglou said in a bad tone, "Have you learned how to fight with people?"

Mingcheng lowered his eyes slightly: "Someone complained to you?"

Ming Lou slapped the table: "Talk about your own business. Why did you fight with Secretary Dong? His teeth were knocked out. They are all comrades. He is still your superior."

Mingcheng didn't speak.

"I'm asking you, why did you fight? It's still in Charlotte Palace...isn't it embarrassing?"

"He hit me too, who told him he couldn't beat me, his teeth are not strong, blame me?" Although Mingcheng was a little wronged, he refused to admit it and could only mutter in a low voice.

"Are you still reasonable?" Minglou glared at Mingcheng.

"I was wrong." Mingcheng responded, but without sincerity.

Minglou shook his head slightly, decided to let Mingcheng go, and ordered: "Apologize to Secretary Dong during the meeting tonight."

"Yes." Mingcheng replied, heaving a sigh of relief.

Ming Lou pointed out: "You have to be careful, don't bring the style of military command over here, some comrades are very disgusted."

Mingcheng glanced at Minglou: "Even if you have the style of military command, I also learned from you."

"Look at you, you are getting more and more unruly. If I say something, you just refute it. Do you want me to teach you a lesson?" Ming Lou stared.

"I was wrong." Mingcheng could only lower his eyelids.

Ming Lou waved his hand lightly: "It's good to know that you're wrong, and you can correct it later... By the way, why did you fight Secretary Dong?"

Just as Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, Minglou asked the reason for the fight again.

Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, but finally confessed, "It's because of Lingzi."

Minglou's expression changed.

It was Mr. Zhang who called. He just mentioned to Minglou what Mingcheng had done with Secretary Dong today. He didn't say much about the rest.

Secretary Dong is a nice person, but he is somewhat dogmatic. He is old and likes to reason with young people.In terms of superior-subordinate relationship, Secretary Dong and Minglou are on the same level, and Secretary Dong respects and respects Minglou very much.

But to Mingcheng, Secretary Dong sometimes likes to rely on the old to sell the old, and occasionally read a few words.Mingcheng was bought by no one except Minglou's account, but Secretary Dong couldn't tell.

However, Mingcheng has always been general-minded, and he is also well-rounded. Because of Minglou's presence, he is tolerant towards Secretary Dong, and Minglou can smooth things over, so there is nothing between Mingcheng and Secretary Dong. Too embarrassing scene.

But this time, Mingcheng knocked out Secretary Dong's teeth.

Minglou knew that Mingcheng had a heavy hand, and Secretary Dong also made a move, so Mingcheng probably didn't knock out his teeth on purpose, and Minglou was also the one who protected his shortcomings. After all, Secretary Dong was old, so Mingcheng asked Mingcheng to apologize to him. , It’s okay to lose some money by yourself.

Unexpectedly, there are other secrets in it, and it turned out to be because of Lingzi.

"Speak clearly." Minglou said with a cold face.

In fact, there is nothing unclear.Because Mingcheng took Lingzi to the Charlotte Palace to play, he happened to meet Secretary Dong and another comrade in the party, Mr. Zhang.Coincidentally, Mr. Zhang is engaged in archival research. He has seen pictures of Lingzi and knows Lingzi's military background.

Mr. Zhang inevitably chatted with Secretary Dong.When Secretary Dong heard this, he became anxious. As an important member of the party, how could Mingcheng be with a woman with a background in the Japanese military.Besides, Mingcheng was young, if he made a mistake, it would be irreversible.

Of course, Secretary Dong had good intentions, but on impulse, he immediately chased after Mingcheng and Lingzi to stop Mingcheng and Lingzi, and asked Mingcheng to leave Lingzi and go with him immediately. It is conceivable how ugly Mingcheng's face was.

After a few words of discord, Secretary Dong went up and pulled Mingcheng. Lingzi saw it and naturally wanted to stop him, but was almost pushed down by Secretary Dong. Mingcheng went to help Lingzi, and then elbowed Secretary Dong who came to pull him again , Secretary Dong is not in a hurry to avoid, he is honorably laid off with just one front tooth...

After Minglou listened to Mingcheng's explanation, he nodded at Mingcheng for a long time before saying, "You are really promising."

Mingcheng didn't dare to look into Minglou's eyes, lowered his eyes, and still defended himself: "You all misunderstood Lingzi, and her origin is not her fault, you can't just deny her based on this."

"It's a good thing you can still say such things," Minglou became even more angry: "You don't know how severe the current struggle situation is? You are an organized person, so you can't let your temper run wild."

"Why did I mess around? Did some organization say that people are not allowed to have love? Is it the regulations of the military command or the regulations of the party?" Mingcheng also felt aggrieved.

"Presumptuous!" Minglou slapped the table: "You don't need to mention any regulations to me, I'm your elder brother, if I say no, I won't do it, and it's against you."

Mingcheng didn't dare to speak.The status of big brother is better than anything else.

"Kneel down." Ming Lou drank lightly.

Mingcheng immediately knelt down.There's no benefit in messing with big brother, he knows that well.

Minglou raised his eyes to look at the wall clock on the side wall, it was just one o'clock: "Kneel until three o'clock and then get up, reflect on your mistakes for me."

"Yes." Mingcheng lowered his head slightly, kneeling straight.

Minglou stopped looking at Mingcheng, and picked up an economics book on the table to read it.

Mingcheng knelt and reflected, while Minglou read a book.It was very quiet in the study.Except for the occasional sound of Ming Lou flipping a book.

Mingcheng knelt straight, his knees and legs were getting more and more painful, he straightened his back and secretly endured it.

The soup at noon was indeed too salty, and Minglou was thirsty again.

"Mingtai!" Minglou shouted loudly.

"I let Mingtai go out." Mingcheng knelt on the ground and replied.

Ming Lou couldn't help frowning.

"It's not safe outside at night, so let him go out now...you can't always keep him at home." Mingcheng explained.

"You know you're used to him." Minglou lightly reprimanded Mingcheng.

"Go and get me a cup of tea." There was no other way, Minglou could only tell Mingcheng.

Mingcheng raised his head to look at Minglou, brother, I'm still making you kneel, okay?

"Go and pour me a cup of tea, and continue to kneel when you come back." Ming Lou said angrily, do you think I want you to rest?

Mingcheng kneels weakly.With one hand on the ground, he barely stood up, his face uncontrollably bitter.

"You need to strengthen your physical fitness in the future." Minglou was a little dissatisfied: "It's just kneeling for a while, and your legs hurt like that?"

Mingcheng stood up straight, answered "Yes", tried his best to walk straight out of the study door, turned around and closed the door, he bent down and rubbed his knees vigorously with both hands before going downstairs to the kitchen Make tea for big brother.

When Mingcheng came back again, he brought a tray, not only a pot of fragrant tea, but also a plate of washed and cut fruits, and the newspaper that Minglou hadn't finished reading just now.

Minglou nodded, feeling that Mingcheng handled things fairly neatly.

Mingcheng looked up at the wall clock on the wall, it was just past two o'clock, the eldest brother had nothing else to say, so he had to go to the middle of the room again, and knelt down again at the place where he was kneeling just now.

Minglou took a sip of tea, then looked at Mingcheng again: "If you don't get punished, you don't know how to be good."

"Yes." Mingcheng endured the grievance, and obediently answered his mistake.

Minglou reads the newspaper and drinks tea.

Mingcheng couldn't help but muttered: "Mingtai is right, you are a feudal patriarch."

"What did you say?" Ming Lou raised his eyes and asked.

"I was wrong." Mingcheng replied.

Minglou held back his laughter, but said in his heart, you're a clever kid.Hmph, I'm a feudal patriarch, what's the matter, who makes the Ming family, I have the final say.

At 3:[-], Minglou and Mingcheng packed up and prepared to go out.

Both changed into long cotton robes.Although the two usually like to wear suits and long windbreakers, but tonight's meeting is all comrades in the party, so naturally the simpler the better.

Mingtai hasn't come back yet.

Minglou looked at the watch on his wrist and at Mingcheng.

Mingcheng was also a little annoyed, the young master told him to come back before 3 o'clock.

"I'll take care of him when I come back." Mingcheng said to Minglou.

Ming Lou nodded: "Today's meeting, what to say and what not to say, I don't need to teach you."

Mingcheng couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you mention something to me again."

"That's not good, I'll take care of you when I come back." Ming Lou said.

"Yes." Mingcheng replied, couldn't help rubbing his thighs and knees with his hands again, the knees must be purple, and they are still aching.

There is a black classic car parked in the yard.Mingcheng opened the back seat door for Minglou, and after Minglou sat in, he closed the door again, and opened the driver's door by himself.

"Wait." Minglou stopped him, "Let's go there by tram."

Mingcheng recalled the last meeting, he and his eldest brother were driving there, and happened to be bumped into by a comrade in the group, he said jokingly at the time: "After all, it is still from a family, there is pomp."

Although he didn't say much, Mingcheng also knew that most of the members in the group were children of poor families, and they must not be used to the behavior of himself and his eldest brother.

Now that the eldest brother said to go by tram, he just didn't want to provoke too much talk.The eldest brother is always so cautious, Mingcheng nodded with a smile.

The venue of the meeting was in a bakery a few streets away. It was called a literary salon, but it was actually a democratic life meeting of the party.This is one of the most significant differences between the party and the military.All team members can express their ideas freely, unlike the military commander, the chief is as big as the sky, and the subordinates must obey the superiors.

The two walked to the intersection, just as a tram was coming.Minglou and Mingcheng got on the tram. On the tram, they happened to meet a comrade from the party, but they just exchanged glances to say hello.

After getting off the tram, Minglou and Mingcheng also kept a distance from that person, and walked into the bakery one after another.

After entering the bakery, I walked into the big house in the innermost room, where six or seven people were already seated.Some people smoke, and the windows are not open, so the air is not very good.
