Idiom story

This post after post, no change, green seedlings, make the old man dizzy. In previous years, every time he went out of the city and saw all kinds of crops, he felt happy. The tall sorghum and corn, the short millet and the black green soybeans are sweet, which give him some hope - this is the food for him and everyone. Especially after the heavy rain, in the road with young crops on both sides, he not only heard the sweet green air, but also heard sorghum and corn pulling up the knots and creaking. It amused him and made him feel a few years younger. Now, he has to walk with his eyes half closed. Those sweet potato seedlings had no fragrance, no red tassels, no ears from white to yellow to red, but only crawled on the ground in rows, which made him dizzy and worried. Sometimes, he almost forgot the direction. What's more, when he saw those green but not beautiful seedlings, he immediately thought of how sweet potato is not magnetic: if he eats less, he will be hungry in a moment; if he eats more, he will have sour water in his stomach. He is in his seventies, and sweet potatoes can't give him a sense of warmth and health. Apart from these miscellaneous feelings, he has something more painful to do. Since he became deputy chief, his reputation has declined a lot with inspector Bai collecting copper and iron from house to house. Everyone knows that he is a good man, but there is another illogical logic - he dare not resist the Japanese, and he is not willing to show no expression, so he has to kill old man Li! Even better now, he had to announce next to his home: "don't throw away the tea you have drunk. Every family has to offer tea every month! What's the use of " "? "He was asked. "I know! "The old man said with a white face. "Oh," Inspector Bai came up and said perfunctorily, "it's said that old tea leaves are mixed in fodder for Japanese horses! Lose the fire! It is also said that oil can be extracted from tea. Oh, I can't make it very clear! We can't afford tea, no tea! "Some say so. "Well, we have to find a way to get some! "Inspector Bai's smile froze on his face, and he became ready to cry. After a few days, he had to go and tell everyone, "you have to offer a packet of tin foil every month! "The old man was in a hurry and said to inspector Bai," I can't go any more! I have no time to run errands, and I have to be scolded! Will you spare me? I don't want to be a lousy commander anymore! "No matter what he said, inspector Bai didn't nod:" old man! You are the only one who can afford to be scolded! Hold me this one, they scold what all calculate on me, still not OK? "In addition to appealing, inspector general Bai also made an idea: since Guan Xiaohe has been put into prison, fourth Master Li should be promoted to the chief of the Imperial Palace and asked sun Qi to be deputy. Soon after, he asked the deputy chief of the district to re investigate the household registration, so as to issue a food certificate. Old man Li was not happy to take up the job, but when he heard that they were given food certificates, he felt a little settled. He said to himself: "well, as long as we give food to everyone, no matter what food, we won't go hungry! "Come and go, he said what he thought in order to make everyone happy. After listening to this, everyone had a smile on his face and comforted each other: "the fourth master is right. As long as he still gives food, no matter what it is, he will be able to live! "This" good or bad to survive "seems to be the most ideal way! after the household registration survey, we all know that those over 60 years old and those under six years old are not qualified to receive food! This is not acceptable to any Chinese! What, no food for old people and children? It's like teaching Chinese history a whole somersault, head down! The greatest responsibility of the Chinese people is to provide for the aged and care for the young. Well, now the Japanese want to starve their old and young. So, what are the middle-aged people doing alive? The people in the small sheep pen all agree that this is the "revolution" of bastards in the end, and they want to overthrow their history, ethics, morality and responsibility. If they accept this "revolutionary" method, they will become unkind and unfilial savages!
