Li He said, "Continue?"
Shou Shan looked at Li He's expression and said with a smile, "Don't tell me he really looked for you?"
"You guessed it?" Li He's expression changed. He didn't expect Shou Shan to be bluffing him. After living for so long, he really wasn't simple.
Shou Shan said, "It's not that I guessed it. It would be unreasonable if he didn't cheat a kind person like you. Don't be anxious and let me finish. I'm not afraid of embarrassing myself. Let me ask you, among all the people we know, who do you think I'm most afraid of? "
"Old Man Lee?" If it was Monk Bo, Shou Shan wouldn't have asked this question. Hence, Li He guessed it was Old Man Lee. In comparison, Old Man Lee was the fiercest one.
Shou Shan shook his head. "Guess again?"
"It can't be Old Man Zhu, right?"
Shou Shan nodded. "Yes, of all the people I know, he's the one I'm most afraid of."
Li He couldn't help but laugh. "You're like that when you see the Japanese. How can you be afraid of Old Man Zhu?"
However, when he thought about it, Shou Shan was quite polite when talking to Old Man Zhu, unlike how he talked to Old Man Lee and Monk Bo without restraint.
Shou Shan said, "The Japanese show their bad side on their faces. If they're afraid, they have a bottom line. At most, they'll die. Anyway, the result is known. But people like Old Man Zhu are the most thoughtful. Good and bad can be decided in a moment. There's an old saying that a dog that bites doesn't bark. "
Li He shook his head. "I don't understand. Can Old Man Zhu kill you?"
Shou Shan said, "Then let me give you an example. You've read Water Margin. Who do you think is the scariest person in Water Margin?"
"Why do you always make me guess?" Although Li He was unhappy, he still answered, "Of course it's Gao Qiu."
In the Water Margin, Gao Qiu was widely known as a villain and an unpardonable treacherous official. He was definitely the most terrible one.
Shou Shan suddenly coughed violently and refused Li He's pat on the back. He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. It would be done in a while. The worst person is not necessarily the scariest. In fact, the scariest person is Lin Chong. "
Li He smiled and said, "Stop joking. Lin Chong is ranked second among the Five Tiger Generals of the Ma Army. He is an unparalleled hero. How come you have fallen one by one?"
"I've been running errands in restaurants since I was a teenager. I've never studied much and only know a few words, but I've heard a lot of storytellers in the cafeteria. I think what the storyteller said should be the same as what is written in the book. "
Li He said, "More or less."
"The first time I heard Chong Lin appear, I broke out in a cold sweat. Lu Zhishen saved him, but he revealed that he was from the Great Xiangguo Temple. Later on, when he went to Mount Liang, Wang Lun did not keep him and even gave him gold and silver. As for him, he shamelessly kept the gold and silver. A few days later, he and Chao Gai even killed Wang Lun. He even killed a passerby who had nothing to do with him after exchanging his name. It's just that he has a dark heart, but he doesn't show it on his face. Don't you think such a person's thoughts are terrifying? "
Li He couldn't be bothered with whether what he said was right or wrong. He only said, "Old Man Zhu can't be such a person, right?"
"I can't be sure either, but his character is very dark. He doesn't show it easily. Even a person like Old Man Lee wouldn't dare say that he has a good grasp of his character."
"What is that thing in his hand?" Old Man Zhu had long heard that Li He wanted to place the item in his custody. Back then, he had agreed readily and did not reject it. However, he had never given it to him. Now, he could not help but feel curious.
Shou Shan said, "I'm not sure what it is exactly. I only heard that many people are beginning to have designs on the item in his hand while he's gone. He has some fame after all. When he's alive, no one can do anything to him. But if he's not around, his son and grandson won't be able to defend it. "
"Then what makes him think that I can defend it?" Li He had already cursed eight generations of Old Man Zhu's ancestors in his heart. He couldn't bear to see his son and grandson die, but he was willing to let him take the blame for it.
Shou Shan said, "You still haven't figured out the ways of the world. If it were ten or twenty years ago, scholars and I were all squatting in the same pit. This professor, that teacher, and a kid broke the rules. Anyone dared to scratch them. At that time, I was very sure that I would definitely be able to come out. Why? Think about it, no dynasty or generation can live without scholars. They're all at the same level as me. Wouldn't society be in chaos? So, they can't squat in the pit for long, and I can't squat for long either. As expected, the rules have been enforced again. Whoever breaks the rules will be unlucky. You and Old Man Zhu both have these rules protecting you. As long as you're not stupid, you won't scratch you. Not to mention you professors and teachers, even the students are spoiled by these rules. "
"This is the first time I've heard you say so much." Li He didn't expect Shou Shan to be so knowledgeable. Usually, Shou Shan went along with him and rarely expressed his opinions.
Shou Shan shook his head seriously and said, "When a bird is about to die, its cry is sorrowful. When a man is about to die, his words are kind!"
"Haha, I didn't expect you to memorize the Analects."
"There are all sorts of people in the restaurant. Good words, bad words, slang, and dirty words."
Li He stood up and said, "I'll leave first. Take care of yourself. I'll come back to see you when I have time."
On the way back, he thought a lot. If it was really as Shou Shan said, what did this Old Man Zhu mean?
Why did so many people treat him as a fool?
This was the first time he doubted not only his EQ, but his IQ as well! At this moment, he couldn't tell whose words were true and whose were false.
Although it wasn't snowing anymore, the temperature had dropped again. The road was covered in ice, making it very difficult to walk.
He bought some rope from a grocery store and tied it to the soles of his shoes to increase friction.
When he got home, Four handed over a large stack of documents. "Take a look."
"Done?"
"Done. They gave me two places to move back to. I chose to move back to the original place. Min 'an Hutong is too remote. "
"Why is it so small? Only 70 square meters?"
Four said, "Demolish one and return one. The more houses we want, the more money we have to pay. The development company said that the rest of the houses are illegal construction. Li Qiuhong and I argued for a long time and still got the same result. "
"Take the money from the drawer. We want the biggest one." Because it was compensation for replacement, there was no need to think about compensation. Although Li He wasn't satisfied, he still had to buy the house. It was less than 500 yuan per square meter. If he didn't buy it now, when would he have to wait?
Although this was called a commercial house, it was actually built by the government and developed by the city's housing development company. The poorest people here were the developers and the richest were the construction units. This was because the government allocated funds to the construction units. The development company was empty-handed and could only rely on the advance payment to develop the house.
However, the development company was still considered to be Tripitaka. Even if it was a state-owned unit, it was extremely difficult to develop. Fire prevention, greening, water supply, power supply, and gas supply were difficult to approve. After the project was completed, it was even more difficult to take over.
"Then I'll go tomorrow afternoon when I don't have class. I'm too tired today."
"Okay. I've given you the house anyway. If you don't care about it, I won't care for you. "
"I said I don't want it."
Li He didn't say anything else. This girl's temper could be a little weird sometimes.
The school was busy organizing the exams. Li He was very glad that he didn't have to invigilate the exams this year. He hid in the office for two consecutive days, drinking tea and reading. Chen Yun pointed at Dream of the Red Chamber and joked, "There are many popular books nowadays. Why are you reading this kind of book?"
Li He smiled and said, "You're talking about Pang Zhonghua's' Learning to Write with a Pen '?"
This thing sold more than any other book. Every year, it would be the best seller of the year, Pang Zhonghua's' Learning to Write with a Pen '. When young people wanted to fall in love, they didn't need to communicate through letters. At the very least, they needed to know how to write love letters and copy love poems. Otherwise, they would be out of date.
If they wanted to write love letters and love poems, they had to know how to write with a pen. This would even directly affect the success rate of dating. Therefore, not only were these books selling well, all the major television stations had lectures on hard-pen calligraphy. Even Qi Gong, the old man, was invited to the podium.
