Chapter 11 Chapter Four (1)

first quarter It was a night in May, 1940. Nine months have passed since the outbreak of the European War.Britain and France declared no war against Germany.After Germany occupied Eastern Europe, it marched into Northern Europe.Its success greatly stimulated the Japanese militaristic regime.The soldiers were no longer reconciled to the stalemate on the Chinese battlefield, and once again set off a war frenzy.In spring, the Japanese attacked Zaoyang and Yichang with 20 divisions.This is the biggest offensive since the Battle of Wuhan.Our army resisted bravely. In the first battle of Zaoyang, Zhang Zizhong, commander-in-chief of the right group in the fifth theater, died heroically.Yichang is only about 480 kilometers away from Chongqing. It is the gateway of Chongqing. If Yichang is captured, it can also be used as a base for air raids on Chongqing.Yichang fell on June 14.Our army strictly guarded the periphery of Jiangling, Dangyang, Yichang, and Jingmen, forming a confrontational situation.The Japanese invaders also implemented the cage policy in North China, that is, "the railway is the pillar, the road is the chain, and the bunker is the lock", with the goal of attacking the bases of the Eighth Route Army.The fighting was brutal.

Using some historical materials and figures here may give people a clearer impression than empty descriptions.From May 18 to September 4, the Japanese Air Force carried out unprecedentedly violent bombings on important cities such as Chongqing and Chengdu, dispatching a total of 4,555 sorties and dropping 27,107 bombs totaling 2,957 tons.The Chinese Air Force shot down and damaged 403 Japanese aircraft.The civilian casualties were uncountable. This is a night in May, a night in Kunming. Kunming was not the main target of the Japanese air strikes, but it also suffered from the pouring of steel.The days and nights filled with fear and exhaustion have not affected the imparting of knowledge and the cultivation of personality here in the slightest.The bright moonlight and gentle starlight at night illuminate the sparks of thoughts.

Young people in twos and threes ran into the gate of the new school building.One said, hurry up!One said, catch up.A student with neat clothes and neat hair came out of the door, stopped and asked, "Why are you running? I haven't run enough during the day!" Someone replied, "Listen to Mr. Zhuang's talk about current affairs." He pointed his finger again, "You didn't See the notice!" Sure enough, a small piece of paper was pasted on the wall by the door, which read: "Mr. Zhuang Youchen's Lecture on Current Affairs, Issue 18, European Battlefield. The venue is Classroom 4." The person who asked the question was Zhang Xinlei, who I was about to go to the girls' dormitory on Wenlin Street to find Meng Liji and Wu Jiaxin. When I saw the notice, I turned around and walked towards the fourth classroom. I also saw people walking to the small playground. It turned out that the classroom was not able to fit, so it was changed to the playground. up.Big gas lights were lit on the field, very bright.Someone will keep watch, and if a red ball hangs out, the lights will be turned off immediately.

The chairs and small stools in the arena were all moved by themselves, and some people sat on a few bricks.Xin Lei saw E and Wu Jiaxin sitting in the back row at a glance.Tan Taixuan and several foreign language students stood aside, as if they were ready to retreat at any time. Zhuang Youchen stood up from the seat in front, took a few steps to the low table that was used as a podium, and turned to face everyone.He was still in an old suit and tie.The crowd quickly quieted down and listened to Mr. Zhuang's speech. "Today, this time is the most crowded since the lecture started, we had to change places." You Chen's voice was clear and far away.

"It's not that my speech is attractive, but that the changes in the world situation are of great concern. It has been almost a year since the outbreak of the European War, and German fascism is rampant, and the resistance is very weak. It occupied the Czech Republic without a single soldier. Although the Polish people resisted for more than 20 days, they were finally occupied. It is a pity that the powerful armies of Britain and France sat idly by and did not rescue them. They hope that Germany will be satisfied with the territory it has gained, but will the bandits be satisfied? No Last month, Germany attacked Northern Europe, and Denmark surrendered. It is worth mentioning that Norway refused to surrender. When Germany attacked Oslo, it thought that it could drive people straight. Opened fire and sank the German flagship. We cheer for Norway! Haakon II and his government knew the disparity in strength and could not meet the enemy head-on, and retreated to the northern town. Norwegian troops ambushed German pursuers along the way. Haakon II refused Germany’s lure to surrender, calling on the army and civilians to fight against the German invaders through the radio. The Norwegian government stopped in a small village. The German army blew up the village to the ground. In fact, the Norwegian government has moved to the forest. This happened more than ten days ago. The dense forest there , I have been there in the 1920s, and it really seems that trolls will appear at any time. I think the spirit of Norway is inseparable from its mountains and rivers, and it is also inseparable from Ibsen and Grieg.

"What I want to emphasize today is that the British Prime Minister has changed. Chamberlain stepped down and Churchill came to power, forming a coalition government of the Conservative Party, the Labor Party and the Liberal Party. Please listen to Churchill's speech in the House of Commons: "'I have nothing but blood, Toil, tears and sweat have been dedicated to all of you. "'You ask: What is our policy? I say: Our policy is to wage war by sea, land, and air with all the power and all the power that God can give us; War is waged by a tyrannical tyranny such as has never been seen. This is our policy. You ask: What is our purpose? I can answer in one word: Victory—Victory at all costs...'

"Our War of Resistance Against Japan was not isolated." Some of the audience took the lead in shouting slogans: "The resistance against Japan must be victorious!" Everyone followed, overwhelming. Zhuang Youchen contacted and analyzed the movements of the Japanese army.Some people whispered: "Mr. Zhuang knows so much, he has an inside line, leading to the UK." Many of the news are indeed press releases collected by the British Consulate. While listening, Xin Lei looked at the crowd and found that Mr. Meng and several other professors were present.Zhuang Wuyin sat beside Meng Liji.But no, he is almost finishing his first grade, and he is about to graduate soon, so he is already old.

"The War of Resistance has been going on for almost three years, and we don't know how long it will last." Mr. Zhuang continued, "What we know is that we will continue to fight no matter thirty years or three hundred years! Drive away the Japanese bandits, regain lost ground, Build our great country!" The students shouted the slogan again: "We must win the war of resistance! Give me back my country!" The sound of the slogan drifted far away in the darkness.After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, Sun Lisheng, a student of the Chinese Department who presided over the meeting, said that he hoped that Mr. Meng would say a few words.Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Fuzhi stood up and thanked Mr. Zhuang first, saying that only by understanding the affairs of the world can he understand his own affairs better, and then said: "Mr. Zhuang said that even if it is thirty years or three hundred years, we must continue to fight. Students may think, Thirty years, we will all be old, and three hundred years, we will not be alive. But the Chinese nation will never die, nor will it grow old. The axioms of the world and the justice of mankind will never grow old or die. "The fourth graders will leave school soon. I feel a sense of success at this time of year. This is because everyone has completed their studies and will be the pillars of the country, and teachers will have a sense of success. I thank you, ——Something, let’s talk about it later.”

The fourth graders in the crowd felt that Mr. Meng was looking at them.Someone asked, "When will you say it?" Fu Zhi smiled and waved his hands.Zhuang Youchen also stood up, talking to Fuzhi.Many people came up and surrounded the gentlemen, asking this and that.Zhuang Wuyin stood and waited for his father.He has grown much taller, his long and delicate eyebrows are still slightly melancholy, and his clear eyes make him look a bit enlightened.Since he started school, he has been noticed by his classmates because of his good homework, good looks, young age, and few words and smiles, but he doesn't care at all.He sat next to E, and only nodded when meeting each other. He didn't say a word or ask Mei from the beginning to the end.

The game was silent, of course E was comparable, so he ignored him and walked away with Jiaxin.Walking outside the arena and meeting Xuanzi, everyone stopped talking. Seeing Zhang Xinlei approaching, Xuanzi pointed and said, "Here comes another one who is graduating. It seems that he hasn't learned anything. Why is he graduating soon! Let's go, we all go to Baozhu Lane." Living in Anning, Xuanzi rented a room with a family in Baozhu Lane.At that time, most students who were not financially struggling lived in rented houses.Everyone walked, Jiaxin followed Xinlei, calling her cousin timidly. The cousins ​​of Wu's and Zhang's families are not closely related.Jiaxin has always had a crush on Zhang Xinlei since her classmates.She followed Wu Jiagu from Beijing to Changsha for school, and after graduation, Jiagu joined the Field Service Corps.Although there is concern from teachers and classmates, having a relative is different, it can be said to be a kind of attachment.She is often troubled by not getting Xinlei's attention, and even cries often, and is called the "crying star" by E and others.Zhang Xinlei never paid much attention to her, thinking she was too ordinary.What he paid attention to was E, E's personality was unique, and his family was also unusual.Of course he seemed noble in Beijing, but after arriving in Kunming, life was hard, or poor, but he was also very respected.Moreover, E's family relationship is very good, which Xinlei found out slowly. A few people walked to Daximen, E said that he didn't want to go to Baozhu Lane anymore, and asked Xuanzi if he would go to Longwei Village on Saturday.Xuanzi said that she wanted to see the third aunt.Maybe I will go in a few days, otherwise I will graduate soon and I don’t know where I will work.Xuanzi and her classmates turned into the alley, then turned around and said, Weiwei is making a fuss about coming to Kunming to go to university, have you heard?E replied, I haven't heard of it. E and the other three were walking on the street, Zhang Xinlei offered to treat them to rice noodles, but none of them wanted to.He also suggested going to a teahouse for a sit down. Although there were not many snacks there, there were always sesame candies, brown candies, melon seeds, and peanuts.They agreed. This small teahouse is dimly lit, and there are a few cigarette pouches lined up on the steps in front of the door.One kind of tobacco has a long and slender stem, one meter long, but a small smoke pot, which is placed on the head;When the teahouse sees guests, it is customary to go to pick up the cigarette pouch.After thinking about it, these students didn't smoke this, so they hurriedly put the teacups down and flushed the water with the big pot.He also recommended that there are shaved ice and fruit water, can your family please?It is a new cold food, a bowl of ice balls, poured with red and green juice, sweet and cold.Seeing no objection, the teahouse served it.E and Jiaxin ate with small spoons. Xin Lei quickly seized the opportunity and said, "I have something important to discuss." E pushed the shaved ice away and said, "Then I'll go first, you discuss it." Xin Lei said anxiously: "I just want to discuss with you, why don't you Walk!" A little surprised, E glanced at him.Listen to him continue to say: "Meng Liji, remember what you said in Hong Kong? You said that everyone should go to the national disaster together and cannot escape. I often think about this." It is a joy to be remembered by others.E didn't expect him to be so careful. "Oh, did I say that?" "You said it. Aunt Meng and Mei are here." Xinlei said quickly, "I'm about to graduate, and my family wants me to go to Hong Kong, but I want to stay in the mainland. I heard that the Resources Committee needs economic intelligence personnel. Maybe sent to Southeast Asia. What do you think?" He asked Jiaxin incidentally, "What do you think?" Seeing that he was only talking to E, Jiaxin was already in tears.At this moment, he just looked at the melting shaved ice and didn't answer. E pondered: "What does the resource committee do? I don't know." After another thought, he said casually: "It seems to have something to do with the second uncle." Xinlei was overjoyed and said: "I think so too. ——In short, This is a way to serve the country and give full play to what we have learned.” E felt that there was no need to express his opinion, so he changed the subject and asked Jiaxin, "It seems that the field class will be changed to this week next week?" Jiaxin said, "Mr. Zhou Bi has notified that Mr. Xiao is probably busy next week." E held a peanut and squeezed it slowly.Zhang Xinlei said suddenly: "Someone made a fuss about choosing the most beautiful man in Minglun. Guess who it is?—Mr. Xiao." Jiaxin said, and I agreed.E didn't feel it blushing, the light was very dim, and no one paid attention. "Meng Liji! Wu Jiaxin!" Several people walked over to greet her.One of them was Sun Lisheng, who was presiding over the meeting just now, with straight hair standing straight towards Xiaohan. It should be said that this was a popular hairstyle at that time.A girl, He Man, is from the Department of Foreign Languages.She is older, a transfer student, very experienced in dealing with people. Sun Lisheng said: "Mr. Zhuang's talk about the international situation is very exciting, but he doesn't seem to have enough material to talk about the domestic situation." Xin Lei said: "It sounds very fresh to me." He Man said: "Churchill's speech is really touching. The situation has changed, and the Japanese devils have to restrain themselves." After talking some gossip, he sat down.Sun Lisheng walked away and greeted the classmates who came in again, most of them were club leaders. ' At that time, various associations sprung up everywhere.There are groups in the name of political ideology, such as Democracy Society and Freedom Society, and there is a public society, which means to take the masses as teachers, and He Man is the person in charge.There are those in the name of academics and literature and art, such as the Literature and History Society and the New Poetry Society.All clubs publish posters, express their own opinions, and are very active in thinking, and most of them have connections with relevant professors.Some associations also have different political tendencies, which become more obvious later on. He Man said: "Participating in community activities is very good for us to absorb knowledge and understand things. Wu Jiaxin has participated in several community activities, which is very interesting, isn't it? There are some things in society that you don't understand, and everyone can discuss them together. .” Jiaxin said: "I participated in the fellowship activities of the YMCA, and I was very comforted. The activities of the associations seem to be more scientific and concerned about the society. As for why, I can't say." He Man smiled and said, "It's good if you can feel it. Meng Li has already participated in the next event, right? We still have to invite Mr. Meng to give a speech." E Xiaoxiao was noncommittal.He Man said again: "Tan Taixuan never came to the dormitory, I often see her in the English novel reading class. Which of you two is the older sister and who is the younger sister?" "If I am older than her, can I be a little younger than her?" Class?" This was E's answer. Xin Lei said: "Looking at you, I'm really envious. I can't participate in anything." A few students over there were having a lively discussion. He Man walked over to have a look, and took two jicama and put it in front of Meng and Wu.Xin Lei said: "Do you think so? I don't even have my share of jicama." The three of them left the teahouse and walked back to the girls' dormitory.Everyone has their own concerns.When we arrived at the dormitory, Xinlei said, "I finally feel a little better." E looked at Jiaxin and said, "We didn't say anything." Xinlei said, "You are not ordinary people, so there is no need to say anything. Ordinary mortals, you can also say that they are ordinary people, don't contribute much, and don't ask for much." He said very sincerely. After returning home, E and Jiaxin talked about Zhang Xinlei in addition to discussing the European battlefield.E said: "In fact, everyone is a mortal, so it's interesting to talk about it." Jiaxin said: "Do you think he is interesting?" "You can encourage him to develop more interestingly." E said indifferently, and went to sleep .Jiaxin sat there for a long time, and did not go to sleep until the lights in the dormitory were turned off.I wiped my tears on the pillow a few more times. A few days later, E and Jiaxin went to field classes.This is part of the general botany in the first grade. They haven't taken it, so they will make up for it now.On this day, the weather was gloomy and misty with drizzle.There are about 20 students waiting to join the queue at the Zhuantang Wharf. Most of them wear straw hats to keep out the rain. Few of them use umbrellas. They are all big red oil umbrellas, which are very heavy and guaranteed not to get wet.Most of the female students wore blue overalls, and a few of them wore bamboo cheongsams.A few willow trees are planted scatteredly by the pier, and the rainwater flows down the branches gently, as if the green color of the willow branches is flowing. There are several small stalls near the roots of the trees with white orchids, most of which are young girls.Female classmates bought some and hung them on the front of their work trousers or the buttons of their cheongsams.There are also those who are not willing to buy after asking the price, and the little girl will reduce the price in time, saying, it is suitable!Affordable!It means really cheap.The younger students pulled the willow branches and sprinkled water on others and white orchids. "Why isn't Mr. Xiao here yet!" Several students jumped to look into the city gate.Xiao Ziwei's major is biochemistry. As the head of the department, he is often exposed to general classes, and he can also learn more about students by taking samples to collect.Zhou Bi, who taught this general botany, was still young. He arranged boats by the water and looked into the city gate from time to time. The city wall of Kunming is not high, and the city gates are all short. The Xiaoximen building does not know what era it was, but it also has a kind of aura.More and more people came in and out of the city gate.Since the Anti-Japanese War, people in Kunming got up much earlier.It is said that when the schools were first moved, people were not used to getting up early, and the city government sent police to yell along the street, knocking on doors and windows to urge stores to open.At this time, those who pick vegetables and bear firewood have all entered the city.A man filled clear water with a tin gasoline can and followed behind the dung bucket.It was very impressive to use tin gasoline cans at that time. "Mr. Xiao is here!" A female classmate was the first to notice.Sure enough, I saw Xiao Ziwei walking among the crowd, wearing a beige woven silk shirt, not a travel attire.Gradually approaching, looking a little tired. Everyone gathered around and spoke respectfully.Ziwei greeted everyone with a smile, then went to the steps to talk to Zhou Bi.After a while, the two came up, and Zhou Bi clapped his hands, asking everyone to gather and listen to Mr. Xiao's speech. Ziwei said: "I saw that everyone came early and waited to go. I am very happy. I am looking forward to this excursion as much as everyone else. We who study biology must understand nature, and understanding nature is not easy. Maybe everyone wonders me. Some people may have guessed why I spoke on the pier. I have other things to do today, so I can’t accompany you to this interesting lesson. I don’t think there is any need to change the time. Mr. Zhou Bizhou will explain the main purpose of this lesson, Guide you to operate. Here I will only tell a small story to cheer you up. The highest point of the West Mountain is called Longmen, and the entire cave statues, even the passages for walking, were carved out of the stone wall. The stone carving artist finally went to repair Kuixing If he wanted to reach the peak of art, he might have chiseled off the tip of the pen because he was too careful." Ziwei paused, "Kuixing has no pen. Kuixing, who is in charge of literary movement, lost his pen! It is said that the artist lifted it up and fell to the ground. I jumped off the cliff and threw myself into the lake to die.” There was a sigh among the students.Ziwei went on to say: "I like this legend very much, and I am moved by the artist's spirit of pursuing perfection. When we are engaged in scientific work, we must try our best to pursue it continuously. Even though perfection may never be achieved, our spirit embodies In our efforts.—Actually, I really want to collect specimens with everyone and touch fresh plants. But I can only say one thing: Please forgive me.” Ziwei bent slightly, and the students nearby After saying a few words, he turned around and saw E and Wu Jiaxin standing under the willow tree.He walked past them and saw that Wu Jiaxin was not very energetic, so he told her to pay attention to her body. If she couldn't walk today, she could collect plants around Huating Temple, don't force her.He couldn't think of what to say to E.E looked at him, and when he spoke, he just smiled and walked over. Zhou Bi invited everyone to get on two boats.This kind of boat is the larger one in the area of ​​Dianchi Lake, with a half canopy.Everyone asked Wu Jiaxin to sit inside.E stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the water surface that was cut open and closed again, feeling lost in his heart. The boat passed the Grand View Tower.It is another scene in the rainy day, the pavilions and pavilions seem to be covered with a layer of gauze, and the gauze flutters with the water waves.The local students pointed out that this is Jinhuapu, that is Suhuizhou, that is Jibodi, and there are some private villas called this village and that village.Zhou Bi said that there are a lot of plants here, and I don't have time to see them today, so you can pay attention when you come by yourself. E remembered that when he came with his parents last autumn, he saw a large white flower. His father said it was a datura flower, and Xuanzi asked why it was called such a strange name.Fuzhi said that the original meaning of the mandala is a holy altar. As for why this flower is named after this meaning, it is not known, and E will solve this problem in the future.E didn't care about it at the time, but suddenly realized that her father's ardent hope for her was also the hope for the younger generation.The story of Kuixing pen told by Mr. Xiao is also an expectation for everyone. The boat arrives at the center of Dianchi Lake, surrounded by blue waves, and the western mountain in the distance looks like a person lying down, also known as Sleeping Beauty Mountain.Everyone's chest stretched, some sang, some yelled, calling for other boats.When the boat arrived at Gaoqiao Wharf, everyone disembarked from the boat and followed a small path up the mountain.The trees on the side of the road cover the sky, wild flowers are everywhere, and there are crisp birdsong. The whole mountain seems to welcome these young people.Someone kept asking Zhou Bi, what kind of flower is this, and what kind of grass is that.Zhou Bi laughed and said, "How learned am I, how can I know so much?" Walking with Meng and Wu, he pointed out the names of many plants. Everyone came up to the slope, and there was a big temple in front of them, which was Huating Temple.It was too late to admire the majesty of the Buddhist house, but outside the mountain gate, many people were sitting or lying down, some were standing and talking, and some were cooking on the woodpile.Zhou Bi thought for a while and said, "Yes, these are refugees on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway." In order to cut off the transportation of supplies to China, the enemy bandits violently bombed the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.Many refugees left their homes to escape the bombing.The enemy also negotiated with France, and on July 20, they dispatched the Japanese office in Hanoi to dismantle the rails on the Lao Cai Iron Bridge, making it impossible to transport all aid materials to China.This is something. When the refugees saw the students coming up, someone asked, "Is there any rice for sale? There is no rice in the town." Zhou Bi said a few words of comfort.If the students wore two coats, they took off one and gave it to the refugees.Although it is summer, the nights on the mountain are very cool. Rolls of quilts are lined up under the inner corridor of the mountain gate, and the bunks are opened one by one. These are first-class refugees.Zhou Bi and others didn't care to look at the Daxiong Palace and other buildings, and went to an open space behind the temple, where everyone sat down and had field practice classes.Zhou Bi talked about various requirements, how to identify plants, how to collect and prepare specimens, how to identify poisonous flowers and plants, and protect yourself.In particular, I mentioned a plant called nettle, the leaves are covered with fine hairs, and the skin is red and swollen immediately like a bee sting.He also said that Yunnan is a large plant kingdom, and there are more than 2,000 kinds of plants in the West Mountain alone.Some of them are poisonous, but toxins can also be used.We need to understand sorting, and we must also explore and utilize various plants.Meng and Wu walked up the mountain without being in the company of children, and soon arrived at Taihua Temple. There are far fewer refugees in Taihua Temple, and it is quite interesting with deep flowers and trees in the Buddhist temple. Although the temple is old, it is still impressive.There is a couplet in the Stone Square of the Palace of Heavenly Kings: A picture of lakes and mountains comes to the eyes, and the worries and joys of thousands of families are in the heart.There is a plaque on the Daxiong Hall, which reads: If you don't move.When the two saw each other, they both felt their hearts move.Cigarettes are lingering in the hall, and someone is asking for a lottery.An old monk knocked on a wooden fish.The lottery seeker seemed to be a homeless stranger who wanted to divination his future, so he drew a lottery from a bamboo tube, sneered, and walked out of the hall. "We want one too." Jiaxin said suddenly. "I want to kowtow." E hesitated.The old monk hurriedly said that bowing is also fine, but as long as the heart is sincere, it is also fine not to bow. Jiaxin asks first.She felt that if she asked about such a major event as when the Anti-Japanese War would be won, the Buddha would not be able to know it, so she should ask her own business.She bowed respectfully.In the sound of the monk's wooden fish Buddha horn, he took out a lottery, which read: "If you can't get it by force, why force it! Follow your fate and your role, naturally you can't get it." She looked at it and remained silent. Seeing E standing aside, the old monk asked, "This lady also asks for an autograph?" There was a wish that was forming in E's heart. She thought for a while, walked to the altar, and asked for an autograph without bowing. Jiaxin's is exactly the same. "Could this be the only sign in the bamboo tube?" she asked the old monk. The old monk said, "Big mistake, big mistake! You both signed the same sign because you both asked about the same thing. It's a good sign. Everything is as it should be." Jiaxin said in a low voice, "Ask yourself the most important thing, and see what you can find." She was talking about the knot in E's heart, and E told her that it was a secret. E Suli bowed deeply three times, drew out a lot, covered it with his hand, and looked at it after a while.It said: "You don't have to ask Chunxuan, you have to ask Chunxuan's friends. You come from where you come from, and you go to where you go." E read, and said, "It's so long-winded, so many words." Jiaxin took it and read it, and said: " It’s very clear, point out who to ask.” E nodded.She had made up her mind who to ask. The two continued to walk up, and saw that some first-year students had already walked ahead.Talk loudly all the way.One said that it would be best to make a poison that would make the Japanese soldiers drowsy after drinking it.One said, don't want their lives?How merciful.Another said, maybe someone decided to study plants in Yunnan today.Hearing this, E felt another movement in his heart, and his pace slowed down.There were a few big flowers in the grass, and E Zizhi was wearing long trousers, and walked to the path to pick them.The big flowers are gorgeous in color, and she picked them carefully with straw paper. Suddenly, the back of her foot hurt, and she cried out "Oops". "What's the matter? What's the matter?" Jiaxin rushed up to help.E said loudly, don't move!He backed out of the grass by himself, both feet were red and swollen.Zhou Bi came over and said that he had encountered a nettle.E said: "I'm still wearing socks. I'm still reluctant to wear them." Zhou Bi said: "Socks are too thin, and the fine hairs of nettles can get in everywhere. There must be something that stings it around here." Look left and right, pinch it Put a few leaves on the foot of the mountain, it is really cool and comfortable. E put the big flower in the old lecture folder used as a specimen folder, smoothed it carefully and clamped it.She swayed and walked for a while, but felt that it was very strenuous, so she let Zhou and Wu go first, and she rested on the roadside stone.Looking down at Dianchi Lake, the blue waves gently pat the reed bank, and there are wooden boats floating in the distance, with gray sails, which add some dignity to the water and sky.She looked through the specimens she had obtained, and found that the flowers were gorgeous, the plants were strange, and they were all different. She sighed deeply at the wonder of nature.I also thought of those two lottery signs: "Follow the fate and follow the role, naturally you can't find it", "Come where you come and go, go where you want to go". "Nonsense!" E secretly said.Several first-year students came over, and Nai got up and walked forward with them. second quarter The Department of Biology has two laboratories in the new campus.One is used for students to attend classes, such as dissecting frogs and distinguishing plants.One is for teachers, and basic experiments such as biochemistry are changing in those bottles and jars.The laboratory is located in a nursery, and the flowers bloom randomly in all seasons, dyeing the mud walls with bright colors. Xiao Ziwei scrubs and washes utensils in a poorly equipped room.This is the job of laboratory workers, and experimenters don't do it.Can't tell now.The janitor was often absent, the experimenter was not in good health, and Ziwei did not want to use the students like some teachers did, so he did it himself from time to time.I saw him wearing an apron and rubber gloves, turning around skillfully, commanding his glass soldiers. He didn't go to Xishan with his classmates that day because the appointment committee met in the morning to discuss the list of appointments for the next school year.Some other issues were also discussed before and after the meeting.In the afternoon, send Zheng Huizhu back to Qingmuguan Conservatory of Music.One public and one private.Huizhu took a free ride, and Ziwei took her straight to Qujing.The next day, I saw her and her companion sitting in the car.The car started, and there was a familiar flowered handkerchief floating outside the car window.The car and the handkerchief were getting farther and farther away, and he stood by the side of the road, not knowing where he was for a moment. We bid farewell to Qujing, and we don't know when we will see each other again.This time when Huizhu came to Guiyang, the commander of a certain army invited her to work in the army and held several concerts.When she arrived in Kunming, she originally planned to hold a concert, but later she really couldn't find the time.She would rather sing for Ziwei alone.Once, I sang fourteen songs in one breath.It was also a concert, but much richer than usual, with every song soaked in emotion and hope.Ordinary people are not blessed to hear it. They have been to the Catholic Church on Pingzheng Street several times. There is an unused piano there. When they first arrived in Kunming, Ziwei had borrowed it for Huizhu.Now that the piano has not been tuned for a long time, it is not suitable for Huizhu, but they are still willing to sit on the hard bench in the church.There are no carved colonnades, colorful glass, but there is still an atmosphere.Looking down from a simple wooden platform, Maria, holding the Holy Child, makes people feel peaceful, serene and solemn.They listen to their hearts in silence. These two hearts have collided for a long time. It is a song full of joy and pain.The acquaintance started from the concert, and Ziwei will never forget Huizhu's first singing.The voice seemed to fall from the sky. He went to find her on the ground and saw her sitting behind the flowers.He has no flowers, only a heart.Unfortunately, Huizhu was no longer a free man at that time, and Ziwei only wished he hadn't returned to China a year earlier. They couldn't get rid of their deepening relationship, and they couldn't get rid of the embarrassing situation.They receive much sympathy and much censure.They have no way, the fusion of two hearts cannot be separated. Ziwei has a hand-cranked phonograph and few records. They think the most precious is Bach's "St. Matthew Passion". People without any religious inclinations will be shocked by this music.When Hui Zhu was in Shanghai, she acted as the soprano soloist in "German Requiem", and she was also praised for singing Brahms' art songs.She was familiar with the St. Matthew Passion, but had never sung it formally.When listening to the phonograph, she would stand up and sing softly when she heard touching parts, and as she sang and listened, both of them shed tears involuntarily. There was another person who participated in listening to the records and shed tears together, that is the American professor Xia Zhengsi.An avid classical music lover, he spends almost all of his free time listening to music.It is said that Mr. Xia can go without food or sleep for three days, indulging in the world of music.Not even alarms can interrupt his music.The plane is rumbling in the sky, and the symphony is flying on the ground.He is not afraid of anything, he has music.This music lover admired Zheng Huizhu very much, saying that there are almost no good sopranos in China, because they are not fat enough, and thin people have no strength.But Zheng Huizhu is an exception. They also met some friends, the Meng family and the Zhuang family have all been here.Daila also arranged a small concert at the British Consulate. There was not much music, and everyone had a pleasant conversation. What worries Huiliang the most is Huiliang's family problems.She thought Hui Fong was weak and couldn't bear the divorce.She didn't go to Qian's house, it was Hui Fong who came to the city to talk about her sisterhood. Huizhu finally left, Qujing bid farewell, and did not know when they would see each other again.This thought lingered in Ziwei's mind. My thoughts finally turned to the appointment meeting that day.Student loan funding was also discussed.Compared with the gradually rising prices, the loan amount is too small.Negotiate with the Ministry of Education.Due to the difficulties of life, it is needless to say that the students work subsidies.Some faculty members also engage in extracurricular activities.Don't worry about personal matters, like Qian Mingjing.Some chemical experts now want to start small factories, such as making soap.Some people thought it was inappropriate, and after some discussion, everyone still believed that this should be the responsibility of the individual, and the school would not interfere. The meeting formally discussed the issue of appointment letters for the next academic year.The discussion focuses on three individuals.One is Wei Feng from the Department of Physics.Since the school moved south from Beiping in 1937, the teaching assistants and lecturers were not paid travel expenses, and most of them reported within a year. Few people left for as long as Wei Feng.Then someone asked where he had been for three years.Many people know that Wei Feng has been to Yan'an.At that time, other people went to visit, some stayed, and some came back.After all, this was not something that was said at the meeting, and everyone talked about him from left to right.Zhuang Youchen insisted that he came anyway, and that he was the most suitable teacher for the physics department.Everyone knows Wei Feng's talents and scholars, and finally passed the appointment.Wang Dingyi of the Department of Foreign Languages ​​proposed to dismiss a French teacher. She was the wife of an official of the French Consulate and was very irresponsible in teaching.Decided not to hire in the second half of the year.This person was introduced by Xia Zhengsi, and it happened that he proposed to the department to hire Ling Xueyan, and he probably had already considered replacement.Wang Dingyi himself is a doctor of literature from Yale University in the United States, and he has always looked down on those who have studied abroad without obtaining a degree.He introduced that Ling Xueyan did not exaggerate her life abroad as studying abroad, which shows her honesty.Someone at the meeting brought up the practice that couples cannot teach in the same school.Principal Qin believes that in extraordinary times, it is possible to deviate from the routine, and not to interfere with each other.It passed smoothly.The promotion of Qian Mingjing, Li Lian and others were also discussed at the meeting, and some people criticized Qian Mingjing's spare time activities.Jiang Fang said that the individual is responsible for amateur activities, and everyone agrees on this point.If you smoke big cigarettes and play mahjong in your spare time, isn't that also an activity? As long as your academic level really meets the standard, you will be promoted.Some people also said that Qian Mingjing is indeed talented, and the activities did not affect his teaching.It was suggested that Bai Liwen is the number one if the teaching is irresponsible.According to the students, he didn't attend class for a week. Although he came to class this week, he didn't say a word about his studies.Should I take care of him?Jiang Fang said: "I can't control it, so please talk to him?" Fuzhi didn't say yes or no.You Jiaren, a classical literature expert who returned from the UK, was hired last year, but he did not show up for the job, and he continues to be hired now.Finally, the promotions of Qian and Li were passed, and everyone dispersed. Ziwei and Fuzhi walked together because they asked about Bai Liwen's situation.Fuzhi said that he had a lot of opinions, and Jiang Fang really wanted to fire him.But his knowledge is really good, so he can only delay first.As Fuzhi spoke, he paused, and said, "One of my articles caused trouble." Ziwei stopped and said, "I heard it said at dinner the day before yesterday that it seemed that Chongqing was not happy. I wonder what the article is?" Fuzhi said: "It's about redundant personnel in the Song Dynasty. Redundant personnel was one of the reasons for the death of the Song Dynasty. At that time, the population of the Song Dynasty was small, but there were many officials. There was no fixed number of officials. The land in prefectures and counties was fixed, but the number of officials continued to increase. Zhenzong Xianping four years , There are more than 80 Jiedu envoys, and thousands of Liuhou to assassinate envoys, the cost can be imagined." 子蔚道：“这正好作为借鉴。”弗之道：“我正是这个意思。只是文章中，写到一些人求官用的卑鄙手段，不知得罪了什么人。”“得罪了法不要紧，得罪了人就麻烦了。”子蔚道。弗之苦笑道：“就是呢。我真无意反对什么人，只是希望国家能健康些，封建的积垢太多了。”子蔚要看那篇文章。弗之答应送一本杂志来，又说：“还要写一篇关于贪污腐败的，那是宋亡的另一个原因。”因为各自有事，当下没有深谈。
