Kong Yiji came to the store again, and everyone who was drinking looked at him. He was still wearing the washed white gown, with some new scars on his face.
“Are you still willing to take off your gown? Hahaha!” Everyone laughed at him. “Nonsense, can I be like you, a scholar should look like a scholar…” “A scholar… hahaha, a nerd is a nerd.” The store is full of joy.
Kong Yiji ignored the crowd, asked the shopkeeper to warm up a bowl of wine and a plate of fennel beans, finished eating in a hurry, and walked away quickly with his hands behind his back. There was a cheerful breath behind him.
As soon as he stepped out of the store, he saw a discarded newspaper on the ground. Kong Yiji shook his head, picked it up, and was about to shake his head and mutter, when he saw a striking title written on it: Take off the shackles of long gowns, give up cheap decency, Fight to create a new life! ──The signature is a government official.
Kong Yiji blushed, thinking, responding to the country’s call is not a disgrace. So I went home and took off my long gown, and borrowed a rickshaw from Xiangzi next door, hoping to make a few orders today and earn a few bowls of wine for it.
As soon as I got to the street, I found that the corner of the street was full of rickshaws, and many people still went to the familiar faces of the scholar together. After waiting for a day, there was no one in the car. Kong Yiji thought to himself: Everyone would rather walk to death than spend a penny in a car? so stingy.
Dragging his tired body and pulling the empty cart, Kong Yiji walked towards home. Passing by the hotel, I wanted to go in and drink a bowl of wine to warm up my body. Feeling that the pockets were empty, he shook his head and left. At this moment, he saw a man eating meat and drinking heavily in the store, with greasy mouth laughing from time to time.
Take a closer look, isn’t that the person who wrote the article in the newspaper?
