Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Eight

The day after Jiang Qingdong's death, several gendarmes came to Zheng Juan's house to search.Only then did Zheng Juan know that her husband had ended her life.She was completely stunned by the sudden bad news, and she sat there like a ghost, with empty eyes, watching those vicious military police rummaging through the house.In the blink of an eye, the room was in disarray. A gendarme took the books in the bookcase to the floor row by row, found a few diaries inside, flipped through them casually, and handed them to the officer standing in the middle of the room: Report, sir, these seem to be some diaries.

The officer took it and flipped through it casually, ordering to continue the search.He turned around and glanced at Zheng Juan. Zheng Juan didn't respond at all, as if she didn't see or hear anything. The officer was about to go outside to smoke, when the door was knocked open, and Zheng Xianbo and Zheng Qi, who got the news, hurried in. Seeing the mess everywhere, Zheng Qi shouted angrily: What are you going to do? ! The gendarmes who were still searching didn't even look at her.Zheng Qi ran to Zheng Juan and hugged her.Zheng Juan still didn't respond, staring blankly at the photo of Jiang Qingdong hanging on the wall.In the photo, Jiang Qingdong was wearing a military uniform with a confident smile on his face.

Zheng Xianbo stood at the door and did not come in, trembling all over.The officer squinted at Zheng Xianbo and asked: What do you do? Zheng Xianbo then said in a slightly trembling voice: I am their father.Who gave you the right to run around here? ! The officer smiled coldly: Jiang Qingdong committed suicide in fear of crime.You don't know yet, do you? Zheng Xianbo suddenly shouted angrily: Fart!Our family is an upright person, even if we die, we will only die for the country! The officer was startled, and said somewhat restrained: This is not something you can decide. Zheng Xianbo had never been so angry before, and he couldn't control himself at all.He took two steps, pointed at the officer's nose and cursed: Get out immediately!Go back and tell your boss that in our Zheng family, there are three men who are all soldiers fighting for the country!The second son-in-law died in an air battle with the Japanese, and Jiang Qingdong is also an upright man, so don't think of him as a scapegoat!

The gendarmes who were searching all stopped involuntarily and looked at the officer.The officer thought for a while, made a "retreat" gesture to the military police, turned around and walked out with the diaries. Zheng Xianbo said loudly: Stop!Leave what's in your hand! The officer couldn't hold back anymore, and threatened: You can't just put your nose on your face. Zheng Juan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: Dad, let them take it away!There is nothing shameful about Qingdong. After the gendarmes left, Zheng Xianbo sat down beside Zheng Juan and Zheng Qi limply, heaved a long breath, and sighed helplessly: What's going on?What a nice person!

Zheng Juan called "Dad" and finally burst into tears. Jiang Qingdong's suicide made Air Defense Commander Liu Zhi, who had been battered by the investigative committee, see a turning point.The suicide of the deputy chief of staff in charge of air-raid shelter affairs seemed to be enough for him to find a scapegoat, which made Liu Zhi secretly heave a sigh of relief.But he understood that Jiang Qingdong was an upright and good man, and he couldn't go too far on this issue.Therefore, when he learned that the military police had searched Jiang Qingdong's home, he brought several senior officers from the Air Defense Command to visit Zheng Juan that night.

Zheng Juan's home was still in disarray after being searched, with books and broken glass scattered all over the floor.The photo of Jiang Qingdong on the wall has now been hung with a black veil.Liu Zhi and Zheng Juan sat on the sofa face to face.Zheng Juan was wearing a black silk shirt, her eyes were red and her hair was disheveled. Liu Zhi was disturbed, but the grief on his face was still sincere: ...things have happened, so please be sad.I have worked with Qingdong for many years. Although we can't say we have a deep personal relationship, we can still be called friends.I am very sad.

Zheng Juan, who was already emaciated, spoke in a thin voice: Commander Liu, you must understand Qingdong's behavior.Now that he's gone, he can't be blamed!Please do whatever it takes to be fair to him. Although Jiang Qingdong's suicide made it possible for Liu Zhi to be relieved, deep down in his heart, he still felt a little guilty about Jiang Qingdong's death. Hearing Zheng Juan's words, Liu Zhi assured him: Mrs. Jiang, please rest assured.Speaking of which, I'm sorry for Qingdong... Forget it, it's useless to say anything.But I will not allow anyone to describe the matter as "suicide in fear of crime".Even if there is any crime, I will not blame Qingdong alone.

There was gratitude in Zheng Juan's eyes, and she said: I know Commander Liu must have had a hard time. Liu Zhi smiled wryly, looked at the officers who had been standing next to them, and told the truth: the commissioner would not let me go when such a big incident happened. An officer reminded, "Commander, regarding the funeral of Deputy Chief of Staff Jiang... Liu Zhi nodded and said to Zheng Juan: I'm here, and I also want to hear what requirements you have for Qingdong's funeral?" Zheng Juan shook her head sadly: Is it okay to bury Qingdong in Heishizi in Jiangbei?I knew that he wanted to stay with those who died in the Shibati air-raid shelter.Since the accident, he has repeatedly told me that he is sorry for those innocent people who died tragically.

Hearing these words, Liu Zhi was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but nodded slowly. A few days later, Liu Zhi was relieved of his post as commander of the Chongqing Air Defense Command because he was unshirkably responsible for the air-raid shelter tragedy. On the day of the air-raid shelter tragedy, Xiaohua did not die, but survived by luck.He was in a trance from the overstimulation.After the bombing, he came out of the air-raid shelter with the flow of people and followed a group of homeless vagrants.It wasn't until the next morning that two police officers found Xiaohua sleeping soundly in a bridge hole in Shapingba.After asking for a long time, Xiaohua couldn't tell why.The police had no choice but to send him and those children to the shelter for refugee children in Geleshan that night.

It was dinner time, and dozens of ragged children crowded around the ground, vying for a few pots of food.The filthy Xiaohua is the youngest child here, and he can't get close to the rough crowd, but his extreme hunger still makes him bravely squeeze in.Finally, he sneaked in through the cracks and snatched a steamed bun.Xiaohua hid the steamed bun in her arms, quickly withdrew, ran to a corner far away from everyone, and wolfed down a big bite.Looking back, the scramble over there has turned into a brawl, and an older child has been beaten to the point of bleeding.Several caretakers ran out and dispersed the fighting children with punches and kicks.

The child with a bruised nose and bloody mouth stood there with empty hands, disappointed to see the victor enjoying the meal contentedly.Suddenly, he saw Xiaohua secretly eating steamed buns hiding in the corner, and immediately walked towards him.Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Hua hurriedly stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth desperately.But his mouth was too small after all, and the big kid came too fast.After receiving a severe slap in the face, most of the remaining steamed buns were taken away. Watching the child walk away while nibbling on the steamed buns, Xiaohua curled up in a corner helplessly and cried.But no one paid any attention to him.A child about his size slowly walked over and squatted beside him.The child, though also small, looked much wilder.He said to Xiaohua: I haven't grabbed any food since yesterday. Xiaohua looked up at him. The child said: We will starve to death here, can you believe it or not? Xiaohua said in fear: I will not die! That child: Let's escape, isn't it easy to find something to eat outside?Do you want to do it? Xiaohua thought for a while and nodded.The child reached out his hand very skillfully: My name is Cricket. Xiaohua shook hands with him, thinking the name was very funny: Cricket? After going to bed after dark, the crickets secretly woke Xiaohua up, and the two told the childcare worker that they needed to go to the bathroom, and ran outside the dormitory.They hid in the toilet for a while, and then quietly walked along the wall to a dark corner together.The cricket took the lead and got out from the gutter under the wall.Although Xiaohua was a little timid, she got into the hole full of sewage under the urging of Cricket and came outside the nursery.The two ran for a while on the deserted streets, and finally found a bombed-out civilian house. They got into the ruins, where they curled up and slept all night. Just after dawn, the two children came out of the ruins and looked around like wild dogs for food, but found nothing.The two were hungry and came to the riverside aimlessly.The sun has risen, and the broad river beach is rocky and full of rubbish.The cricket rummaged through the rubbish for a while, but found nothing, so it lay down on a big rock by the river.Xiaohua also imitated the cricket's appearance and lay down on it, listening to the hollow sound in her stomach, staring blankly at the sky. The cricket asked him: Why don't you go home? Xiaohua: I don't know the way. Cricket: You are so stupid.Then you should know where mom and dad work, right? Xiaohua shook her head: I only know that my mother is a doctor in a hospital, and my father is in a factory that makes guns and cannons. Cricket disappointed: You are really useless. Xiaohua asked: Where are your parents? The crickets stopped talking.Xiaohua asked again: Are they all dead?You don't have a home anymore? The cricket sat up suddenly: the house was bombed by the plane and burned to the ground. Xiaohua: Both your parents were killed? Cricket nodded and said: When the house fell down, it was my mother who hugged me under her body, otherwise I must have died too.As he spoke, his eye circles were a little red, but he immediately wiped his eyes vigorously, resolutely not letting himself cry, and said in a vicious tone like an adult: When I grow up, I will go to the army and take all my money. Kill all the Japanese devils! Xiaohua suddenly discovered something, he pointed to the river not far ahead and shouted: "Cricket, look!" The cricket looked in the direction he pointed: it seemed to be a dead person!Check it out!As he said, he jumped off the boulder, but when he turned around, he found that Xiaohua was still there in a daze: Come down quickly! Xiaohua said in fear: "I dare not." The cricket said disdainfully: What is there to be afraid of the dead?When I crawled out from under my mother, she was dead, and all the blood was on me. Xiaohua's eyes widened upon hearing this. Cricket: Come down quickly, maybe you can find money from the dead! Only then did Xiaohua follow the cricket towards the river.Among the rocks by the river, a corpse washed down from the upper reaches got stuck among the rocks, floating up and down in the shallow water.The corpse was lying there with its head down, completely naked except for a gold ring on its finger that was still shining.The cricket was also very scared, hiding behind a stone, and dared not go forward.Xiaohua hid behind the cricket, not even daring to open his eyes, and said: This man is naked, he won't be rich.let's go. The cricket said: Stupid, he has a gold ring on his hand! Xiaohua asked: Is it worth money? Cricket is uncertain: It should be enough for us to eat for a month. After speaking, he braved up and tiptoed over to it, as if it was not a corpse, but a living person.The corpse's arms floated on the water.The cricket stood in the water, as far away as possible, then pinched the ring with two fingers and tried to pull it off, but the ring was still on the finger, but the corpse was suddenly pulled by him.The cricket screamed in fright, and ran ashore, jumping and jumping. After all, they are still only about five years old. In the evening, it began to drizzle.On a river embankment in the city, Zheng Juan and Gu Hongyuan walked slowly, keeping a distance of about one step between them.Zheng Juan's face was still pale, and there was a shadow around her eye circles. The neat black clothes and black skirt on her body made her face even paler and sadder.Gu Hongyuan specially found a time to go out with her to relax.But after walking for a long time, the two had nothing to say.Zheng Juan didn't say a word, and Gu Hongyuan couldn't find a suitable language to comfort her.The river was rushing, and the drizzle was falling, and the hair of both of them was a little wet. Zheng Juan suddenly asked: Tomorrow is his funeral, are you going? Gu Hongyuan nodded affirmatively: Of course we will.Xia Xinli will also go, and finally send him off. Zheng Juan glanced at him gratefully, and tried to smile: Thank you.especially you. Gu Hongyuan didn't speak. Zheng Juan: It's a pity that you saved him once, otherwise, such a thing would not have happened. Gu Hongyuan could only smile wryly.Zheng Juan realized something, and explained: I didn't mean that... Gu Hongyuan shook his head empathetically: I know, I know. Zheng Juan: He is a good man. Gu Hongyuan nodded: In my eyes, he is also a hero. Zheng Juan smiled bitterly: Hero?A desperate hero... At dusk, the W base of the Japanese army in Wuhan.After completing the bombing mission, the bombers returned one after another and landed on the runway. The tires on the landing gear rubbed against the runway, making a screeching sound. The setting sun shines through the window and shines on a blackboard in the base headquarters. On the blackboard are densely packed numbers: Land attack aircraft: 2050 sorties / Ship attack aircraft, ship bomber: 201 sorties / Ship fighter jets: 99 sorties / Land reconnaissance aircraft: 39 sorties / total: 2389 sorties / number of attacks: 20 / total number of bombs dropped: 15036... Endo Saburo's long figure drawn by the setting sun is also projected on the blackboard, on both sides of the long table in front of him There were a dozen officers sitting there.The bombing command is holding a meeting to summarize the bombing effects over a period of time and arrange the next phase of action.Because the sound of the plane landing outside was too loud, Saburo Endo went over and closed the window.The room suddenly became much quieter. Saburo Endo: According to the "Operation Plan No. 102" of the base camp, we will complete the bombing mission this summer.A very busy summer.But as of today, we have completed more than half of this task, which is gratifying.I have flown over Chongqing many times with bomber formations and personally participated in the bombing there.Looking down from the plane, although the downtown of Chongqing at the confluence of the two rivers has been devastated, the people there are still alive, and the government there is still operating, directing the battle with the imperial army.Especially in the area on the right bank of the Yangtze River, where the city is still developing.Even the city center that was bombed into ruins is still being restored and rebuilt.To be honest, I don't know where the most deadly place should be bombed.do you know? The officers below didn't answer, they just sat still.Because they are very confused and don't know what Endo Saburo's true meaning is. Saburo Endo went on to say: This is not to doubt the capabilities of our United Air Force, our aviation force is first-class, there is no doubt about it.What I want to say is that it is impossible to bring a city to its knees by bombing alone, let alone defeat a country without a fight.I can also give an example. London accounts for more than one-tenth of the population of the United Kingdom, and it also represents the power of the British Empire. Germany is separated from it by thousands of bombers for more than a year. .This also shows that the role of bombing is quite limited. An officer finally couldn't help asking: Is the general questioning the bombing plan of the base camp? Saburo Endo: No.Rather, I want to add something to the program that I think is more important.Because the bombing is going to continue anyway, I can't change this reality.However, the future bombing of Chongqing should only have a certain symbolic meaning. At the same time, we must re-establish the focus of the attack.There is a Chinese saying that goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king". An officer: Chiang Kai-shek? Saburo Endo smiled: All political and military leaders in Chongqing are our key targets for removal!Chiang Kai-shek, of course, bears the brunt.I have already communicated with the intelligence department. As long as we get accurate information about Chiang Kai-shek, we must do our best to kill him.It is said that he lived in the Huangshan villa outside Chongqing for a long time.I'm asking the intelligence community for exact bearings and features of buildings that can be identified from above. Cloudy night with no cool breeze. In the studio of China Central Radio, Zheng Qi and three musicians are playing a string quartet here.At that time, most of the music programs on radio stations used this live broadcast method.The melody of the quartet seems a little sad, but after all, it still gives people a cool feeling, whether it is for the listeners in front of the radio or for the people in the stuffy studio. Halfway through the music, Zheng Qi looked through the large glass window and saw several people running over in panic. A male announcer was still holding a page of paper.A person hurriedly said a few words to the staff in front of the console, and that person's expression changed immediately, and he immediately signaled to Zheng Qi and the others through the glass to stop immediately. Zheng Qi and the others didn't know what happened, and the performance stopped. The male announcer has already rushed in, and made a "keep quiet" gesture to Zheng Qi and the others who were hurriedly packing up their instruments in bewilderment, and immediately started broadcasting before they could get out: Listeners, this is China Central Radio radio station.We temporarily interrupted the music program to broadcast important news to you... Zheng Qi and the others retreated lightly, and stood in front of the console outside, listening. Announcer: According to the news just released by Radio Europe, in the early morning of June 30 local time, fascist Germany suddenly launched a full-scale attack on the Soviet Union.In subsequent speeches, Hitler claimed that the military operation was the largest in the history of the world; he said that the offensive was launched because Russia's cooperation with Britain seriously threatened the security of Europe, and at the same time, it was part of his struggle for living space for the German people. the attempts made.This sudden war tore up the non-aggression treaty signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in August 1939... Zheng Qi, like everyone else, was shocked by this sudden news.Until she and her colleagues walked out of the gate of the radio station, Zheng Qi seemed to have not recovered from the shock just now.Seeing Lin Tianjue who had been waiting outside the door, her first words were: Did you hear the radio? Lin Tianjue just nodded calmly, took the cello in her hand: I will take you home. After Lin Tianjue returned to Chongqing, he often appeared next to Zheng Qi attentively as before.Although Zheng Qi still didn't feel love for him, she didn't express any objection because of her face.She and Lin Tianjue walked slowly to the street, the sound of the broadcast just now echoing in her head. After a while, Zheng Qi asked Lin Tianjue: Is Hitler crazy? Lin Tianjue said lightly: Are there still few lunatics in this world?Don't take it too seriously. Zheng Qi looked at him and asked: You don't seem surprised? Lin Tianjue smiled: Of course I was surprised.But this war between Germany and the Soviet Union may bring us some benefits, so I am happy to accept the news. Zheng Qi said: Your statement is a bit strange!The whole world is almost engulfed by the flames of war, and no one can benefit from the war. Lin Tianjue shook his head: That's not necessarily true.The strength of the German army is needless to say. It is said that this time Hitler mobilized 190 divisions to attack the Soviet Union. In the face of such a powerful attack, the Soviet army is absolutely difficult to resist. It is likely that within half a year, the entire Communist Party The USSR would no longer exist, and the Germans would rule all of Europe.In this way, the war between China and Japan will soon end. Zheng Qi asked in surprise: Are you saying that China doesn't exist anymore? Lin Tianjue: It may be fully occupied by Japan, or there may be a peaceful truce with the Japanese. Of course, some unfair conditions will be accepted.But the war is over after all, and we can return to a peaceful life, which is the most important thing. Zheng Qi was a little unhappy: Are you always so selfish? Lin Tianjue: No one likes war. What I said was just what many people dare not say.But that doesn't stop them from thinking this way. Zheng Qi glared at him: It's best not to say such things. Lin Tianjue immediately smiled obediently: OK.Listen to you.Zheng Ming still has no news? Zheng Qi replied: No. Lin Tianjue worried: There will be no accidents, right?Hong Kong is also run by Japanese spies. Zheng Qi blurted out: Who said he was in Hong Kong?I heard that he is in Wuhan. Lin Tianjue was very happy about the unexpected news, but pretended to be surprised: that is the Japanese occupation area!That's even more dangerous. Zheng Qi suddenly realized that she was talking too much, so she warned: You must not tell others. Lin Tianjue said seriously: Are you still worried about me? The day after Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Zheng Xianbo came to the Soviet embassy.At this time, Pan Youxin was no longer so calm and confident, and when he was talking with Zheng Xianbo, his eyes were a little erratic. Zheng Xianbo looked at Pan Youxin: We got the news last night.was very shocked.I am here to express sympathy for the sudden attack on your country on behalf of the Chinese government.At the same time, the position of the Chinese government is clear, supporting the just war of the Soviet government and people against Nazi Germany. Pan Youxin expressed his gratitude for this, and then said angrily: Hitler is a very evil guy, who even started a war in such a despicable way.The so-called "Soviet-German Nonaggression Pact" will always be just a piece of paper to these liars and scoundrels! Zheng Xianbo said calmly: Signing similar treaties with bandits and lunatics is tantamount to seeking skins from tigers.The "Munich Agreement" between Chamberlain and Germany was like this, and the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" was like this. Even the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty" between your country and the Japanese will definitely have the same result.A few years ago, I said a word to Americans. It is dangerous to stand by and stand by when your friend is beaten, because it is very likely that you will be the next one to be beaten. Pan Youxin was a little embarrassed: I understand your government's position on the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty."I personally regret this issue.Or, when a sudden war befell our own country, I could appreciate more of your outrage over that treaty.But let me explain again that the signing of the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty" was indeed a last resort for the Soviet Union.We have long realized that a war with Germany is inevitable. All the policies and measures of the Soviet government are actually trying to delay the outbreak of the war as much as possible so that we can have more time to prepare for the war.Now that the war has finally begun, I think neither the Soviet Union nor Japan will care about the so-called neutrality treaty. Zheng Xianbo: The Chinese government does not recognize the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty. Cui Kefu, the military attache of the embassy, ​​said with a smile: But it seems that this neutrality treaty also brought some benefits to your country? Zheng Xianbo laughed: Are you saying that the United States and the United Kingdom gave us large loans and military aid? Chuikov: Yes.But I warn you, old friend, never to think that the Americans and the British are merely out of some kind of sympathy.This is still just a deal. If they give 100 million US dollars, you can hold 1.12 million Japanese troops on the battlefield in China, and let the powerful Japanese navy continue to block the coast of China. American sphere of influence in the Pacific.For Americans, this is a very cost-effective deal. Zheng Xianbo agrees: There is no doubt about it.International politics and diplomacy are nothing more than transactions, and as long as such transactions are equal and fair, they are acceptable.But if the interests of a third country are sold out in the transaction, that is another matter. Chuikov said: For example, the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty"? All three laughed. Chuikov said: All right.Let's forget about this as soon as possible. Zheng Xianbo asked Cuikov: Regarding the war between the Soviet Union and Germany, can you predict its prospects? Chuikov: I believe that in the first phase of the war, our army will suffer major blows.The German army will definitely launch a powerful attack in three directions in the shortest time.He stood up and walked to a map: Hitler's Army Group South would advance towards Kyiv from between Lublin and the Carpathians; Will try to go straight to Moscow. Zheng Xianbo: Like Napoleon back then? Chuikov confidently: So I think we will be very passive and difficult in the early stage of the war.After all, Germany's military strength is very strong.But today's Soviet Union is not the old Russia, and Stalin will be much smarter than Kutushov.Hitler couldn't take Moscow, and Germany would eventually be completely defeated.As for how long the war will last, it is difficult to say.It also depends on the development of the entire international anti-fascist war, which of course also includes China's war of resistance against Japan. Zheng Xianbo smiled: China will not let the Japanese attack the Soviet Union from the east. "Read the paper, read the paper! Hitler launched a lightning attack on the Soviet Union! Read the paper, read the paper!" On the street outside the cafe in downtown Chongqing, newsboys yelled loudly and walked past the window of the cafe.Gu Hongyuan watched the child walk by, turned his gaze away, and glanced at Zheng Juan who was sitting opposite.Zheng Juan is still dressed in plain clothes, but her mood has improved a lot, and she is not so haggard anymore. Gu Hongyuan couldn't help sighing: This world is really ever-changing.In just a few years, we have all experienced too many things. Zheng Juan asked: Did your son write a letter? Gu Hongyuan nodded: They are receiving training in Yunnan. The Americans have provided a batch of new fighter jets for the Chinese Air Force, and they are probably one of the first troops to equip them. Zheng Juan: Those boys must be overjoyed? Gu Hongyuan: That goes without saying.I hope that the Chinese Air Force will restore its combat capability and completely get rid of the past situation where it can only be beaten. Zheng Juan sighed: China's war of resistance has been fought for four years, and the US government has finally provided us with real military assistance.It's not easy! Gu Hongyuan thinks this is inevitable.He said: The importance of China's Anti-Japanese War to the strategic structure of the Far East has become more and more obvious, and the Americans will not fail to see this.It is inevitable to get to this step today.Now that Germany is attacking the Soviet Union, if the Soviet Union is defeated, Hitler must return to occupy the British mainland; while Japan has no scruples about the Soviet Union at all, it can use all its forces to completely occupy China, and then go south to the Pacific Ocean to challenge the Americans .In that case, the world situation will undergo major changes. Zheng Juan reminded: I don't think the Soviet Union will be occupied by Hitler. Gu Hongyuan smiled: I am just a hypothesis, but to explain that unexpected changes will occur in this world anytime and anywhere.In any case, I am optimistic. I think the most difficult stage of China's war of resistance is passing, and victory may not be so far away. Zheng Juan: I'm not that optimistic. Gu Hongyuan: Of course, we must be optimistic. There is no way out for pessimism.So you must live well, live strong, in order to meet the victory. Zheng Juan smiled and turned her gaze out of the window. The nursery where He Xuezhu works is located in the outer suburb of Beibei.Although Beibei has been bombed by the Japanese army many times, the situation is much better than that in the center of Chongqing.The mountains here are ups and downs, and the Jialing River Canyon is deep and tortuous, which hindered the attack of Japanese bombers to a certain extent. This afternoon, a dilapidated truck staggered into the yard of the nursery school.The truck compartment was full of impoverished children of different ages.Among them, Xiaohua and Cricket also stood.As soon as the car entered the gate, Xiaohua said to the cricket: Oh no, I was sent to such a ghostly place again! Nearly a month of homeless life has made Xiaohua's tone of voice much more sophisticated, and even his eyes are no longer so timid.The cricket did not speak.Xiaohua touched him and said in a low voice: If we don't have enough to eat, shall we run again? Cricket resolutely: run! The truck stopped in the middle of the yard, and the managers of several nursery schools were already standing there.After the children got off the car, they were quickly gathered in the yard and lined up.They stood crookedly and noisily, with disheveled and dirty hair, not to mention torn clothes and trousers.An administrator clapped his hands vigorously, calling them to quiet down.Then say: Children, this place you have come to is the best nursing home for difficult children. All the uncles and aunts here will care and take care of you like your parents, and will help those who are separated from their families to find mom and dad.However, you look too dirty now, and every child should develop good hygiene habits from now on.You must have smelled the food, haven't you? The children shouted loudly: Yes! The manager said: Well, now I will take you to take a shower and change your dirty clothes, and when you are all clean, you can have dinner. Of course, these hungry children were very disappointed with this arrangement, and they made a fuss.Xiaohua suddenly took the lead and shouted: Don't take a bath!We are hungry! Immediately the other children responded: We are hungry!to eat! Looking at the messy scene, the manager didn't know what to do. He yelled "Quiet, Quiet", but no one paid attention to him at all. He Xuezhu came out of the nursery school's office and saw the commotion here, so she came over and asked: What's going on? The management staff smiled helplessly: They didn't want to take a bath, so they insisted on eating first.You see how dirty they are. He Xuezhu said: They must all be starving.In this way, give each of them two biscuits first.You must take a bath before eating dinner, otherwise it will be too unhygienic. The administrator then loudly announced He Xuezhu's words to the children.Only then did the children quiet down.The biscuits came quickly, and the administrators handed out two biscuits to everyone.Xiaohua, who was standing in the first row, got the biscuits first, and ate them all in a blink of an eye.Then he reached out to a manager again, and said confidently: I haven't done it yet! The administrator was not confused at all, and said with a smile: Don't play this trick with me! Xiaohua failed, so he looked back behind him, behind him was a boy who looked older than him, but his expression was much more honest, he was biting a biscuit very politely, just like Xiaohua in the past.Xiaohua slapped him suddenly and knocked the biscuit from the child's hand to the ground. Before he could react, Xiaohua quickly picked up the biscuit from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.The child suddenly burst into tears. He Xuezhu hurried over when he heard the crying: What's going on? The child pointed at Xiaohua and said: He stole my biscuit! He Xuezhu looked back at Xiaohua sternly, and said: How did you rob him... She stopped suddenly in the middle of her words, and looked at Xiaohua in surprise, she had already recognized him, this is Sun Xiangmeng's son.He Xuezhu said in surprise: Xiaohua?why are you here Xiaohua looked at her completely indifferently, with cold eyes.
