Arty Records

Years go by like water, but the prosperity remains the same.

75 years of the republic.Compared with ten years ago, Great Xia Shenzhou has not changed much.Especially for Fang Sishen, the only two priorities in life: family and career, are in a state of steady growth, and there is really nothing to be dissatisfied with.

As for natural disasters and man-made disasters, the national economy and the people's livelihood, I will appear on the stage after you sing in the court, and everyone in the rivers and lakes will show their magical powers according to their ability and luck.Those who are far away have no time to take care of them, and those who are close are hard to know.

First, Fang Min's family immigrated overseas. Fang Sishen guessed that it was probably because of some small tricks that his uncle had made in recent years, but he didn't expect that he couldn't stay any longer.When we meet again, it is already a foreign country.Fang Minzhi showed his nephew the newly released collection of poems, without mentioning why he left home in his later years.Fortunately, he was already very cosmopolitan, and lived quite comfortably in the country of foreigners.

The other unexpected thing was that the younger sister's family of three moved to Citigroup in a low-key and quick manner, and almost no one except close friends knew about it.Hu Yixin and Ou Pingxiang are both high-level skilled workers, and it is not difficult to walk.Their only daughter is also ten years old. According to the couple, immigration is mainly for the children's growth and education, but Fang Sishen knows it is not just that.Less than half a year after the younger sister's family left, the second generation of the Hu family was implicated in a serious corruption case, and then the third generation had countless misdeeds. decline.

Many people left.Many people are planning to leave.The third miss of the Hong family, Hong Yulian, has already officially become a citizen of Citigroup, and the eldest grandson Hong Wenlong and Hong Xinyao themselves are also preparing to have dual identities.Among Fang Sishen's colleagues and students, the proportion of going to other countries is increasing year by year.But at the same time, more overseas Xia people are returning, and more foreigners are pouring in, moving around this land with various purposes and intentions.

Apart from working in the School of Humanities, Fang Sishen is also a visiting professor at Yumen Academy in Liangzhou, where he stays for a month every year.In addition, he is also registered in the Oriental Research Institute of several foreign universities, including Prius, and he will always fulfill his obligations after a period of time.However, he never really thought about leaving the country of Xia, even though acquaintances continued to make shallow remarks and tactful probing on this issue.In the final analysis, Fang Sishen is a person who pursues steadfastness, and a life without spiritual support is, in his opinion, unimaginable at all.The older I get, the more distinct this sense of rootedness becomes.No matter how unsatisfactory you are, you can't turn around and leave.

If, ten years ago, Hong Xinyao felt that Fang Sishen was involved because he couldn't escape, then ten years later, he was still hesitating between whether to escape, when to escape, and how to escape.

At the beginning of the summer vacation, Hong Fang and the two went back to Qingqiu Baishui.When we arrived in Detu'an, Du Huan's novice came to pick him up.Du Yuxiang repeated the grade for a year, dragging and pulling, and finally graduated from elementary school.The second son of the Du family was five years younger than the eldest, and was spoiled by his family as a bully. The two brothers had sharp conflicts and frequent conflicts, which could be called a situation of fire and water.Hong Yulan repeated several times, and finally persuaded Fang Sishen to make the decision, and sent the eldest son to the capital to go to middle school.

Miss Hong's original words were: "His uncle, this baby only kisses you, and his parents don't care about him, so it's...it's fate. Who wants to repay the evil that adults do, and the retribution will be on the child. I don't have the face to say this at all. I just beg you, for his uncle's sake, don't dislike him...I owe you a debt to his dad, in the future, in the future..." As he spoke, tears fell.

Hong Xinyao disagreed with this matter, and Fang Duzhi clearly opposed it.Fang Sishen never thought too much about it, and made a decision with a few words: "Why bother to torture the child? He is so uncomfortable at home, but here is better than at home. How much trouble will it cause if he is not mischievous or mischievous? I feel good that I can type for me now. Dad, A Yao, your worries are really unnecessary."

It happened that the two of them planned to go back to Qingqiu Baishui to visit the grave, so they decided to pick up their nephew by the way.When Du Yuxiang saw the eldest uncle, his mental outlook was completely different, and he even followed Mangandao to sweep the grave.Afterwards, Hong and Fang stayed for a few more days, Fang Sishen led Du Yuxiang to play around, and Hong Xinyao socialized with her brother-in-law.As Du Huanxin got older, he also began to think about future generations. He slowly let go of the risky business on the border, actively managed the relationship with local grassroots officials, and came up with the idea of ​​developing local specialties.The brother-in-law came in person, so naturally he couldn't miss the opportunity, and vigorously promoted it, hoping that Hong Xinyao would join the partnership.

On the train back to Beijing, Hong Xinyao told Fang Sishen what he had seen and heard during the dinner party as a joke.

"I asked them what projects they had done. A town mayor said that his predecessor had introduced a compressed fungus production line, but unfortunately it failed. I asked why it failed. Guess what? A production line cost 2 yuan, and a few tap water pipes were bought back. The fungus was soaked and stuffed inside, and two people grabbed the iron rod and pestered it desperately. Oh, I'm going! These people thought it was a ramming! In a few days, the pipe rusted, and the pressed fungus pieces were useless. The town As soon as the chief leaves office, this fucking production line will be abolished immediately. What a crippled mind you are, to come up with this weird thing..."

Fang Sishen was dumbfounded.Then he said suspiciously: "The craftsmanship in this area should be very mature, right?"

Hong Xinyao pouted: "Isn't it just for the tens of thousands of dollars in project funds? Too poor and too poor, there are all kinds of outrageous tricks. There is a beverage factory that specializes in the production of canned wild fruits and wild fruit juices. There are only two in the whole factory Blender, a bottle cap sealing machine. Add some sugar water and sell it, children play house."

Seriously: "Any project they can come up with, the two neighboring states have already made the brand and scale. How can they compare with others when they start at this time? Besides, the advantage of Qingqiu Baishui lies in the word 'wild' You also know, how many wild things can there be? It can’t stand this kind of thing, and they have to go through artificial methods in the end. The most profitable things here are ginseng and deer antler. But these things are expensive, and fakes are also expensive. If there are too many, everyone is afraid of being fooled. Without brand reputation, it is a loss-making business.”

Frowning: "Who will plant and breed? Who will manage? Things in the mountains and forests need to be moved, and there are also problems with ethnic minorities. The initial investment is easy to talk about, and there are special support funds on it. The key is that there are no reliable people. I am afraid that money and time will have to be spent It’s a waste of water. The big group introduced by my brother-in-law, besides eating and drinking, I really don’t see what else they can do.”

Fang Sishen couldn't help sighing when he thought of the sluggish market and chaotic environment in Tu'an that he had seen recently.

"How about...don't move? At least to prevent the development from becoming a waste." After a while, he sighed again, "It's up to us. If you don't participate, your brother-in-law will definitely find someone else. Rather than letting others mess around, it's better for you go."

Hong Xinyao smiled, and kissed him on the cheek.Over there, Du Yuxiang was holding the book without even raising his head.

"I think so too. Hehe, Zhifu Mo Ruo... Well, hang them up first, and wait a little longer. In fact, according to me, the best direction is to build a resort. Unfortunately, the infrastructure is too poor, so there is no way."

The speed of the train on this line has not yet been increased, and it will not be able to reach the capital until nightfall the next day.Because he was afraid that taking the plane would cause Du Yuxiang's nervousness, he chose to take the train. The 13-year-old boy is quite tall, with a figure between a child and a teenager.Along the way, it was quiet and very well-behaved.If not necessary, Fang Sishen would not specifically talk to him extra, but as long as he spoke, he would basically get a response.On the other hand, his own uncle deliberately teased and teased him from time to time, but was ignored at all.

At night, when the boy fell asleep, Hong Xinyao said softly: "Brother, the second sister said... If you have no objection, the couple would rather Xiaoyu and your surname Fang." Reaching into the purse, he squeezed out an envelope, "The Du family is not stingy, the living expenses are enough for two lifetimes."

Fang Sishen was stunned for a moment before saying, "I don't care about the money. As for changing the surname, there is no need at all. When the child grows up, he will decide what kind of life he wants to live."

He didn't have a good impression of the Du family, but he had a good understanding of Hong Yulan.Last year, Du Yuxiang went to Beijing for reexamination. Because of Fang Sishen's unique role, he was invited to meet with the attending doctor.The doctor is a well-known foreign doctor, and it is not easy to meet him.It coincided with the peak traffic jam, so I decided to take the subway instead.Second Miss Hong was very vigorous, she took the lead in her high-heeled shoes, passed the test, and even fought against a few strong boys, and grabbed a seat for Fang Sishen, making him dumbfounded.Although the style of acting is another matter, the intention of protection naturally revealed in it is not compromised, and he completely treats his uncle as one of his own.

Fang Sishen smiled suddenly: "There is no need to change the surname, but he himself told me that he wanted to change his name. I just read 'Tian Yu Su, Ghost Night Cry' and said that he would change it to Raining Rain, which is auspicious." Yang Yang He raised his eyebrows, "If the name is not right, the words will not be right. I said, does your family have this hobby?"

Hong Xinyao was also amused: "Du Yuxiang? Does it sound like a magic stick? Hey, this brat..."

In August, Fang Sishen went to Yumen Academy to give lectures.

Liangzhou Yumen Academy has become famous in the past few years. The school has made many reforms in all aspects, and the school system is also quite flexible.In order to make full use of external teachers, a small semester was set up in August for professional training.

Fang Sishen set off this time, taking one small, two large, three oil bottles with him.The younger one is Du Yuxiang, and the older one is Hong Xinyao and Liang Ruogu who followed cheekily.Talented Liang has struggled for ten years and got involved in a policy research institution directly under the Central Party Headquarters. Recently, he was in a bad mood and went to Teacher Fang’s house for comfort. Hearing that Fang Sishen was going to Liangzhou, he immediately made up a grassroots research topic in the west. all the way.

Fortunately, Hao Yi, as the vice-principal, can provide a lot of convenience for the juniors, and temporarily vacated a set of swing rooms to accommodate the four big and small.Hong Xinyao has become more and more low-key in the past two years, basically following his wife wherever she is, and looking for something to do by the way.It was the first time he returned to Liangzhou, and the next day he contacted local related households and wandered around looking for opportunities to make a fortune.And Liang Ruogu's research reputation is not all false, he leaves early and returns late every day, full of mystery.Only one and a half older children, Du Yuxiang, stayed loyally by Fang Sishen's side, never leaving three steps away.

As a result, a strange scene appeared in the Department of Chinese Studies of Yumen Academy.Fang Sishen, a well-known scholar and visiting professor from the National Institute of Humanities, has a child with him no matter he is attending classes, lectures, or seminars.Everyone rumored that he was Professor Fang's son. When someone actually asked, the person in question smiled slightly: "It's not a son, it's a disciple."

Everyone doesn't believe it.However, that child always sat beside Professor Fang seriously, either reading by himself or listening to the lecture with his eyes wide open, as if he had really listened to it.On occasions where there are not so many people, Professor Fang would occasionally ask him a few basic questions, and he would answer them in a rigid manner. You can't help but believe it.

No matter how good Yumen Academy is, it is just a state-level focus.Those students who want to be admitted to the capital are not in the minority who have racked their brains and sharpened their heads to curry favor with Professor Fang.In line with the principle of saving the country with curves, many people try their best to please Du Yuxiang.It's a pity that this baby doesn't even pay attention to his own parents and uncles, let alone a passer-by who doesn't know him, despite the lure and tease, he doesn't respond.

With Du Yuxiang as a shield, Fang Sishen was much more convenient.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu is hungry, he doesn't eat outside food."

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu is tired, I'll send him back to rest first."

It didn't take long for everyone to say that it must be the son, and if it wasn't the son, how could they take care of him like this.

Until one day, a beautiful girl chased half of the campus, stopped Professor Fang, stumbling to confess, Du Yuxiang tugged on Fang Sishen's sleeve and said, "Dad, I'm hungry." From then on, Fang Sishen smiled awkwardly when someone asked her again, without explaining. , be regarded as a solid rumor.

Hong Xinyao heard about this from nowhere, laughed triumphantly, and praised his nephew.

Three weeks later, Hao Yi found time, got an off-road vehicle, and took his junior brother and his oil bottles to visit the Yumenguan ruins.After all, although Fang Sishen has been there many times, it was the first time for the other three guests.

The car first passes through an antique gate building, and the plaque has two big characters "Yumen" written on it.Du Yuxiang looked back eagerly, and then at Fang Sishen, which meant why he didn't stay here.The adults all knew that the real ruins were a hundred kilometers away. Fang Sishen smiled and said, "If you want to know, please ask Mr. Hao to tell you about it."

Seeing him turn his head to look at Hao Yi, he nodded.Hao Yi got the hint, and slowly began to explain, gradually attracting the child's attention.The other two listeners in the back row could clearly see that Fang Sishen was doing everything possible to let Du Yuxiang learn how to communicate with other people.Liang Ruogu leaned on the back of the chair, angrily: "Jin Tu, you are fucking lucky."

Hong Xinyao hooked the corners of his mouth and did not answer.

Hao Yi is full of real materials, and he has been entrenched in Yumen for many years. There are all kinds of historical materials and allusions.After getting off the car, Du Yuxiang and Liang Ruogu followed him to listen to the story, and Hong Fang strolled casually behind.Because Vice President Hao's driver had said hello, no staff came up to stop him and ask for tickets.

The weather is very good, and I chose to arrive in the evening, which is far less hot than noon.The breeze was blowing, and it could even be called cool.A ruins of a pass full of holes stands between the sky and the earth. The infinitely high blue sky and the boundless yellow sand form a huge background, making the castle extremely small and lonely.

Several people stood still for a long time before starting to walk around and visit.

Fang Sishen looked at Liang Ruogu's back, and said, "Is it okay for him to run away for so long?"

Hong Xinyao didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter, his mother has a grandson to take care of, so he can get through the big things. The prince has been tossing hard this time, and he is probably regretting it now, and he can't shame himself to coax others. If you don't let him play outside and be happy, what else can you do?"

Fang Sishen waited to not comment on the relationship between the two, but at this moment he couldn't help but say, "Wang Hui got married and had children, but went to Liang's mother to make trouble, it's not kind."

Hong Xinyao thought about it, and then said: "Although Liang Zi was disturbed by him so that he couldn't get married, he has been provoked a lot these years. Otherwise, where do you think his reputation as a romantic and talented man comes from? He even made an illegitimate child. What's wrong?"

Due to well-known reasons, Wang Hui got married on a blind date arranged by his family as soon as he turned 25.Liang Ruogu had several girlfriends during the period, but he secretly tripped them all up.Until two years ago, Prince Wang was too busy to do anything, Liang Caizi took the time to go abroad for exchanges, and met a foreign girl, not wanting to make a secret marriage.The woman originally took the child by herself, but recently planned to marry, after many twists and turns, she found the child's father and sent the child back to Xia Guolai.

For this baby that fell from the sky, Liang Ruogu accepted it as a responsibility, but Liang's mother was overjoyed and regarded it as a treasure.When Prince Wang heard about this, he was furious, and ran to Liang's mother and threatened that if his son dared to mess with others, he would be sent to prison, and he would never come out for the rest of his life.Thanks to the old lady's strong body, she didn't have any problems with getting angry, otherwise she would have died on the spot.

Fang Sishen listened to Hong Xinyao's babbling one after another about all these messes.According to his thinking, at this point, it is better to break up and live in peace with each other.At this time, he frowned and said nothing, with a look of disapproval.

Hong Xinyao glanced at him, and continued: "Wang Wei has been out of town for the past few years, and his wife and children have stayed in Beijing. In fact, they have separated long ago, but it's just on the surface." After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "He himself Although he does not come forward, he has been behind the scenes to promote the legalization of same-sex marriage. Since he proposed the public welfare fund of Zhenxintang, one-tenth of it has been invested in it every year. I can probably guess two points of his thoughts, but it is a pity Liang Zi doesn't know..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled: "Maybe I know, otherwise, with his temper, how could he bear it for so long. He said he came to Liangzhou to relax, so what kind of grassroots research in the west is not because someone may come to the state capital here next year Take office?"

The two walked around casually, and walked to the isolation fence of the ruins.This lonely stone castle looks small when viewed from a distance, but when viewed up close, it is majestic and majestic.The surroundings are desolate and barren, and the determination and strength behind this man-made landscape that has gone through the vicissitudes of time are more and more evident.

Not far away, Hao Yi was telling Du Yuxiang and Liang Ruogu how that Westerner named Si Dainuo dug up a large number of Han bamboo slips at the foot of the pass city, concluded that this was the Yumen Pass site, and then brought all the cultural relics back without saying goodbye. own country.

Hong Xinyao put his hands behind his back and looked at the ravines that had been weathered on the Gobi fortress.

"Brother, you have been refusing to go with me to register with Citigroup. Now that I think about it, it is indeed the case. I am a dignified native of Daxia, why do I need to get a foreign certificate? What I couldn't do before, can't do now, It may not be possible in the future.”

He thought: so be it.If you don't want to leave, I will stay with you.Do your best to make it better little by little.

"Arty Records" started digging in November 2010 and ended in March 11, which took almost two and a half years.For the whole year since the beginning, I have been listening to the Xuexizhaoxuan forum. I don’t know if I can finish writing and what it will look like. It’s just an urge to express and an idea of ​​weaving. , Itching can't stop.

Then it was finished.When the design MM sent a typesetting sample, the three volumes had exactly the same number of pages, which was a frightening coincidence, and I was very proud.One more thing is done, fullness and emptiness come together.Originally, in the process of writing, I had many miscellaneous thoughts, and I wrote them in the postscript when I was preparing to finish.As a result, facing the almost perfect page number, as a patient with OCD, I suddenly felt that the postscript was redundant.

What's more, after so long, no matter what I wanted to say at the beginning, most of them don't remember now.

At first, I decided to write such a story because I hoped to save myself from the increasingly sinking real life.Anyone with experience knows that it is not easy to match the image presented by the text with the image of the author himself.This is the same as finding a partner, and the complementary effect is very common.For example, I will try my best to write about the people I love and the things I desire, especially the people I can't be and the things I can't do.So the image in the story is only what I yearn for.

Because of this, I was super depressed several times in the middle of writing, but I still tried my best to write to Guangming.

The result was even more depressing.Because it reminds myself and those who read the text more clearly: this is just a fabricated story.And we are still sinking in the muddy reality.

I dare not recall how when I was admitted to university and sat in the classroom of an institution of higher learning for the first time, how I secretly made up my mind to study in one go until I was exhausted.Only two years later, the original ideal was completely abandoned.

Over the years, hope, justice, kindness, sincerity, courage, persistence...everything that was once regarded as a treasure has been actively or passively given up.Every time, I looked up at the sky without words, without self-reflection.Live more and more humble, more and more timid, more and more cowardly, and more and more become a look that I don't like.

Code words, you can temporarily forget these.Code words can also remind yourself of some things, so that you can't really remember anything.

With such a reason, I cherish the words I code very much.What is good and what is not good, as a writer, I can't be more clear in my heart.Of course, I won’t say that, and I don’t have the so-called idea of ​​striving for perfection and self-improvement.Codewords are hobbies, and hobbies should follow your heart. I always think this way and try my best to do so.Please understand.

Recently dug a new hole.The new pit is the result of the rebound effect of this article, so it looks more cheerful.I'm not sure where the story goes from here.The so-called easy code words, I just want to come out as soon as I come out, so I am quite magical.Those who are interested are welcome to take a look.

The physical book of this article is on sale in stock, and the link is on the catalog page.

The proceeds belonging to the author this time will still be used to support Wang Keqin's "Great Love Cleans Dust" charity project.One day I mentioned this to a good friend, and she asked a question, why not many people know about such a good charity event, and the impact is not great.I thought about it for a while and said, probably because it is facing the purest darkness and suffering.It is human nature to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, too much pure darkness and suffering will make people daunting.For example, I only occasionally donate some amateur gray income. It is impossible to really be a front-line volunteer.

Don't dare to hope for sublimation, but seek to avoid endless sinking.

Coexist with Jun.
