Twenty-one-year-old Wang Er met Twenty-six-year-old Chen Qingyang, a doctor, when he joined the team in Yunnan. Chen Qingyang's husband has been in prison for a year, and everyone says she is a broken shoe, but she claims to have never stolen Han. When Wang Er returned from a doctor's visit, Chen Qingyang chased after him to prove that he was not a broken shoe. When Wang Er saw that Chen Qingyang was very beautiful, he said that she was indeed a broken shoe, and used ambiguous words to make logical arguments, and finally was slapped and intimidated by Chen Qingyang.
Soon, Chen Qingyang came to look for Wang Er again. There are rumors that she is breaking shoes with Wang Er, and Chen Qingyang wants Wang Er to prove their innocence. Wang Er was more inclined to prove that he was not innocent, so he gave another suggestion in a serious way. Chen Qingyang once again felt that Wang Er was talking nonsense, and he was so angry that he left without a word.
On the day of his twenty-first birthday, Wang Er took the initiative to invite Chen Qingyang to eat fish, ostensibly making heartfelt talk, but actually seducing her in the name of great friendship. Those half-true words fascinated Chen Qingyang like incantations, and she signaled Wang Er to go up the mountain with her. After some twists and turns, After eating a slap from Chen Qingyang, Wang Er finally gave up his virginity on his birthday.
The day after the first night, Wang Er was falsely accused of beating the poor peasants, and at the opportunity to help the whole people, he had people smash their waists. Chen Qingyang cried in public and blurted out a few heartfelt words, which was equivalent to exposing that she was a broken shoe and Wang Er was her wild man. However, no one has ever said that she is a broken shoe, only because this kind of open fire to fight the broken shoe behavior makes everyone feel afraid, so that they dare not say it.
The second time he had a great friendship with Chen Qingyangdun, Wang Er shook violently. The military representatives of the farm heard that they had a leg, and they came specifically to find trouble and asked Wang Er to write the confession materials. Wang Er didn't say a word, just looked at him, and the military deputies couldn't figure out whether Wang Er was dumb or not. In the end, Wang Er and Chen Qingyang were locked up and wrote a long confession.
In order to practice the great friendship, Chen Qingyang and Wang Er fled to the mountain together, and no one found them. After some time, they disguised themselves and went to Qingping to catch the street. On the way back, Wang Er carried Chen Qingyang up the hill. Chen Qingyang added to the chaos on his back and pounced to let Wang Er let her go. Wang Er raised his left hand and slapped Chen Qingyang's ass twice. Chen Qingyang felt that these two slaps completely tarnished her innocence, and at that moment she fell in love with Wang Er, and this matter could never be changed. After escaping for half a year, the military deputies were transferred away, no one remembered them, and they returned to the farm themselves. It was another month before they were called for censorship.
Wang Er and Chen Qingyang were interrogated and lived in a house to write confessions. A large number of old cadres came to the farm, and Chen Qingyang was often called to the hospital to show them prostatitis. Propaganda brigade activities, to fight on the stage, there are not enough contradictions, too few bad people, they were called to gather the number of people, the public to manage the meal. Returning from a business trip, Chen Qingyang must ask for Dun's great friendship, and is always on the table where the materials are written.
After writing a long time to confess the materials, the above always said that it was not thorough, and Wang Er thought that the second half of his life would be spent in the confession. No, Chen Qingyang confessed a piece of material and ended everything. In the previous confession materials, Chen Qingyang admitted to separating his legs, and now he has added a reason. She does these things because she likes them, and that's the real sin.
Chen Qingyang confessed all his sins, and he should have cut the corpses of the five horses with a thousand knives, but no one had the right to divide the corpses of the five horses, so he had to let them go. After confessing the problem, people told them to get married, otherwise the impact would be too bad. So they registered their marriage in the morning and divorced in the afternoon. Soon, Chen Qingyang was transferred to a higher-level hospital, and Wang Er was released back to the mainland, and their file bag had one more thing.
Twenty years later, in the nineties, Wang Er, who was a teacher at the school, met Chen Qingyang again. At this time, Chen Qingyang was already the vice president of the hospital, and his daughter was in her sophomore year. Earlier, in order to promote her, the hospital returned the whole person's materials in the file to herself, and the daughter saw it and said: It turns out that you two bastards made me like this! Wang Er and Chen Qingyang relived their great friendship in the hotel, talking about what they had done together in the past, Chen Qingyang said that it was also her golden age.
Wang Er, a thirty-two-year-old Beijinger, teaches microbiology in the agricultural department of a university and is the director of the biology department of the basic department. Xu Youtuo, who had a friendship with Wang Er for thirty years, was transferred to the laboratory as an experimenter. On the eve of the preparation of the experimental class, Wang Er saw that the white flowers in the microscope of the podium were all living microorganisms, slender and slender, like a box of live pins. Xu Yu said that it was his... Too late to pack, the students came. A bunch of servants squeezed away Wang Er, surrounded the microscope on the podium, and while looking at the mirror tube, they chirped and asked Wang Er what kind of film? Wang Er was questioned so much that he had to lie that it was a breeding pig imported from the Netherlands... In the subsequent experimental class, Wang Er had to discuss the issue of breeding with the students.
The principal asked Wang Er to talk and said that his application to go abroad was yellow. Wang Er had emotions in his heart because of this, and after returning to the laboratory, he quarreled with Xu Yu for the first time. When it was time to leave work, Wang Er got the concern of his friend Xu You, but he would not understand Wang Er's bitterness. Wang Er felt that the dullness in his heart could only be told to a woman, but he couldn't think of who she was. Anyway, it wasn't his lover, because this person was a.
Wang Er did not want to go home and moved to the vicinity of his ex-girlfriend Suzuko's residence. Although there was no intention of looking for her, but when she came across it, Suzuko asked Wang Er to accompany her to dinner. Ten years ago, in the suburbs of Beijing, they often went to drink. In the last winter of Zhiqingdian, only Wang Er was left in the dormitory, and Suzuko moved over, and the two of them looked like a couple. Wang Er read a winter's book and wrote a paper called "The Theory of Hypocrisy", which is still placed in Suzuko. Suzuko is frigid, but she has never rejected Wang Er, and she needs Wang Er as a friend. Wang Er felt that their fate was not enough, and Suzuko should not wronged herself to be his wife. No one could get Suzuko, she was her own. No, suzuko is divorced now.
After two o'clock in the night, Wang Er returned home with a drunken breath and was kicked out of bed by his lover, erzi, the shrew who was an athlete in the judo team. Eryuzi learned that it was Wang Er's ex-girlfriend Suzuko who invited her to dinner to buy a drunk, scolded the bastard, and strongly asked Wang Er to accompany her to the restaurant tomorrow. The next day, the second lady wore a cheongsam and rouge, and dressed up as a leprechaun. Wang Er was very uncomfortable and accompanied the second lady to play a live treasure in the hotel.
Wang Er's mother asked him when he would have a baby? Wang Er said that he was not like a father, and it was probably a fool to have a son. When the doctor's mother is an expert in giving birth to children, she calls Wang Er despite the birth, and the birth is not good to count her. Wang Er immediately threatened that he would still be a professor in the future and would have no time to raise children. The mother smiled slyly and asked Wang Er not to fool her, she knew everything about Wang Er. It turned out that her mother had already inquired about Wang Er and Suzuko, and she liked Suzuko and said that Suzuko was really a good girl. But Wang Er finally got the second lady, and he felt that neither the second lady nor the bell would betray him. Wang Er loved his mother even more than his wife, but he must prove that his expectations were different from his mother's.
Wang Er, who was not confused, divorced and lived with his mother, and his father was no longer there. Mr. Li and Wang Er, who live opposite his home, have a relationship, and the friendship between the two is very good. Mr. Li's wife line is Wang Er's old classmate, which can also be said to be an old lover. Wang Er fell in love with the line, the old love continued, Mr. Li did not know, they were still friends.
Twenty-three years ago, Mr. Lee had just returned to the Mainland from Hong Kong to participate in the campaign to post big posters. Because he covered someone else's big-character newspaper, Mr. Li was kicked and fainted to the ground. After waking up, Mr. Li called Wang Er, who was passing by, to take him to the hospital, and the two have known each other ever since. The doctor's diagnosis resulted in a hematoma of the glans penis, and Mr. Li was very angry and copied out the diagnosis book to seek justice.
The talented Mr. Li wrote a long-form newspaper arguing about the problem of hematoma in the glans. After all, Mr. Li finally got a response, and the content of the response said: It is a small issue that is not important, please Mr. Li not to interfere with the general direction of the movement. Mr. Li was not convinced, and seriously replied and replied, believing that the other party was confusing propositions and bastard logic. No, then someone came to the door to teach him a lesson, and Mr. Li knew how bad it was and gave up.
However, Mr. Lee did not avoid further exposure and clean-up, only because he had been mixed up with the Trotskyists in Hong Kong. Mr. Lee was shaved when he was beaten, and like E.T., the lines felt cute, so he fell madly in love with him. Later, Mr. Li was demoted to the cadre school, and the line chased after him reluctantly to show love and be his wife. The line was supposed to be Wang Er's wife, but it turned out to be possessed by Mr. Li, which was Wang Er's sad thing.
Twenty-three years later, Wang Ercheng thought about engaging in extramarital affairs with the line, and felt that if he did not do it now, he would regret it if he could not do it in the future. They chatted and strolled, remembering the crazy words of twenty-three years ago: how happy it was to be two outlaws born in this outlaw era, and they really should join forces to do something. Now, the line felt that the opportunity had arrived, and suggested to Wang Er: When aging comes, do something worth doing, not for others, just to prove that you are a good look. Wang Er felt that these nonsense words of the line were just strong words, and everyone had to be stupid when they were young, and they had no choice, and when they grew up, they had two choices: to be a fool or to be an outlaw. Some people intend to be outlaws, and they end up being stupid, and such stories are too tragic.
