    Si Ya's sudden appearance acted as a lubricant, soothing the silent confrontation and embarrassment between the two people.

    "Haha, my daughter, you are so beautiful when you are dressed up!" Meng Youtian laughed happily, stood up and faced Siya, picked him up and kissed her, then walked to Qin Lianfang and pointed,  Said: "This is -"

    "Aunt Qin." Siya cried out sweetly, blinking her bright eyes. It was obvious that Liu Feng had already taught her.

    "Hey." The frost on Qin Lianfang's face was melted by the sudden appearance of the little girl. She smiled and stretched out her hands, "Come on, auntie, give me a hug. I love you so much. What's your name?"

    "I don't have a name yet, so I call her Siya at home." Meng Youtian handed the baby girl into Qin Lianfang's hands and said with a smile: "You don't think she is a baby girl, but she is very naughty. Even my dog ??has to hide.  Follow her."

    "Really, Si Ya is so powerful?" Qin Lianfang held the child in her arms, pinched her cheeks and touched her little hands. She couldn't get enough of it. "Look at this little one. She looks like your mother. Your mother's name is Xiaoman.  , right? Seeing that I came in a hurry, I didn¡¯t buy anything for the child. "

    Si Ya grinned, looked hard into Qin Lianfang's eyes, then shook her head vigorously and said: "It doesn't look like, doesn't look like, doesn't look like a cat's eye."

    "This kid, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll get you spanked." Meng Youtian couldn't laugh or cry, and of course he knew in his heart that this must be Liu Feng's doing.

    "Haha, doesn't it look like it?" Qin Lianfang smiled happily and blinked her eyes exaggeratedly to let the little girl take a closer look. She really liked this quirky little girl.

    With two adults and a child, Liu Feng and others will not be sour and jealous when they talk in the room.

    "We'll have dinner here at noon. I've already told the chef to cook more dishes." Meng Youtian paused at this point, stretched out a finger and shook it gently, "Don't do unpleasant things, don't say  If it makes people unhappy, stop using all your terms about bourgeois enjoyment and exploiting class life. If you really can¡¯t eat, I¡¯ll have someone prepare steamed buns and pickles for you.¡±

    "You have become a bourgeois, why don't you let people talk about it." Qin Lianfang retorted not to be outdone: "It's not unfair to say that you are exploiting. You opened a factory and hired workers. You didn't  Profit from their labor? Do you understand surplus value?"

    "Stop bluffing people with your things that you don't even understand." Meng Youtian curled his lips and said, "You just can't see me living a good life. You are envious, jealous, and hateful. What is a bourgeois life?  It means living better and eating better than others. I earned this through my wisdom and ability. I didn¡¯t steal or rob, so I feel at ease.¡±

    "Do you feel at ease? Why don't you go see those working people -" Qin Lianfang was interrupted by Meng Youtian before she could finish her sentence.

    "Working people, where are you talking about the working people? Are they from here or there?" Meng Youtian said with a sarcastic sneer: "How do you plan to help them, are you just relying on words? Or what will they eat and live in?"  . You have to be like them, then you can feel at ease? Have you been liberated and entered the city? You cadres still live in thatched houses and eat chaffy vegetables? Life is getting better and better, and the working people will always be the working people. I am in advance  What's the matter with one step? I have to have the consciousness you have. Worry about the country and the people, and regard yourself as the savior."

    "But you got something for nothing, isn't that true?" Qin Lianfang found that she still couldn't defeat Meng Youtian, but she didn't give in yet. She argued forcefully: "You opened the factory for profit, right? You accumulated sinful funds.  Exploiting the value of workers¡¯ labor. Extracting their blood and sweat enriches you.¡±

    "I think I have mastered the truth after learning a little bit." Meng Youtian waved his hand disdainfully and said: "It's not for profit to open a factory. Why should I open it? Is my brain sick? Exploitation. Have you ever seen anyone who is not exploiting?  A place? Even if it is run by the state, it is not just to make money, to expand reproduction, but also to support cadres who are bossing around but not working. It is even more stupid to say that I get something for nothing. You only know that manual labor creates value  , As for mental work, those scientists, whether they are working with hammers or carrying hoes in the fields, but can you ignore the impact their inventions and creations have on society? Can you not pay them? "

    "Listen to me first." Meng Youtian interrupted Qin Lianfang's urge to interrupt, and continued: "In addition to mental labor creating value, capital and technology can also create value. Have you not considered it? If you don't investigate, you won't speak.  Quan, have you seen the workers in my factory? Do you think they want me to close down, or do they want the factory to become more prosperous and their wages to rise? The proletariat, hehe, is it that the poorer the more glorious it is, can't  Let other people get rich? If I lead this big family to live on the streets and eat one meal without another, I'm afraid that's what you want, right? I say you don't understand anything, but you're still not convinced."

    "You are quibbling."Lianfang's cat eyes blinked again and again, carefully considering Meng Youtian's words, looking for loopholes in them.

    "If we don't improve the lives of the people, how can we reflect the superiority of socialism?" Meng Youtian smiled lightly and said: "You graduated from junior high school, but unfortunately this is Hong Kong, but no one takes your academic qualifications seriously. But.  You have to study hard, or else I can catch up with you!"

    "Yes, Hong Kong, this is Hong Kong, a place ruled by the old colonialist British, a place where capitalism is deeply rooted." Qin Lianfang seemed to have grasped Meng Youtian's handle, staring at Meng Youtian with light in her eyes.

    "Yes, this is Hong Kong, which is currently under the jurisdiction of the British." Meng Youtian said calmly: "But do you dare to say that this is not China's inherent territory? Just because it is ruled by the British, do you want all Chinese to  Withdraw and turn this place into the territory of the British? We are brave warriors fighting on the territory of the motherland ruled by the old colonialists. Yes, we must keep fighting until the motherland takes back Hong Kong. What about you, you have to give up.  Resisted?"

    Qin Lianfang was stunned, and finally found helplessly that she was definitely no match for Meng Youtian.  But although Meng Youtian was somewhat sophistical, the truth that she usually seemed to be very simple and clear could not be explained by Meng Youtian, and a trace of doubt inevitably arose in her heart.

    Meng Youtian raised his eyebrows proudly and said: "How are you? Are you really shocked? You think you are great, can do a lot of work, and can change a lot of things. In fact, you are just following what others say, and you don't even understand the truth. Damn it.  He has a little bit of culture to fool us idiots."

    "If you have muddy legs, then I am illiterate." Qin Lianfang rolled her eyes, leaned weakly on the sofa, tapped Siya's face with her finger, and sighed: "Just like Siya." The child  She found it interesting and giggled as she climbed up Qin Lianfang's arm.  (To be continued.)
