Chapter 12 Chapter Four (2)

Ziwei's thoughts went back to Qujing, that ancient and remote town, and now he is on his mind.There is a small pond near the city, which is full of red mud slurry, which can be regarded as a pond. Several sunburned children are swimming in the pond. Huizhu said softly, the water is too dirty, and they will get trachoma.Ziwei sighed back to her. "Uncle Xiao!" Someone called him softly.He turned around and saw a female student standing outside the window, with ear-length black hair, a thin and handsome face, and a pointed chin.The flower garden behind it serves as a foil, making her look like a painting.

Ziwei was startled for a moment, and immediately said: "Oh, Meng Liji, what's the matter?" E had been standing outside the window for a while, and then came in. "I'll help, okay?" "It's almost finished, please sit down." Ziwei asked while tidying up, "Are you having trouble studying?" E did not answer, and suddenly the alarm sounded. Ziwei asked, "Didn't you see the hanging ball when you came?" "See you." "How about it? Let's hide for a while?" Ziwei took off his outfit, and he calculated the time to finish it before calling the police.

"I don't want to hide." E said flatly, "Uncle Xiao, are you afraid?" After a pause, he said, "I have something to understand, please help Uncle Xiao." Ziwei looked at her and seemed to ask, what's the matter?E said: "Two things, let's answer one first today." Her tone was very stubborn. "Okay." Ziwei sighed and sat down.Seeing that she was still silent for a while, she asked, "How was the botanical class that day? Was it fun?" E handed over the specimen folder in his hand.Ziwei opened it and said in surprise, "This is a tropical flower, which is rare in Yunnan. We need to look up its name in a dictionary."

"We call it super poisonous flower." "Is it poisonous?" "I didn't find it. But it's called that." "Such a beautiful thing is similar to a poison." Ziwei said thoughtfully. "There are nettle guards next to it." E said. Ziwei suddenly thought of the poisonous flower described by Hawthorne, and the beauty with the same fate as the flower, and thought it could be called "Rappaccini's Daughter Flower", because he said: "There is a short story called "Rappaccini's "Daughter", there is a poisonous tree in it. Have you seen it?" "No." E replied.

Students in twos and threes walked past the window.Someone called: "Mr. Xiao, hurry up." After the crowd passed, there was silence, waiting for the air strike. Ziwei just looked at the specimens.After another pause, E said, "Is Uncle Xiao impatient? I'm gathering courage." "Just say it, all problems will be solved, don't be afraid." Ziwei said gently, but he was a little uneasy and didn't know what to say.The year before last, he was entrusted by Fuzhi to bring E from Guihui to Kunming, and helped to take care of her transfer. He felt that E's temperament was quite weird.

"We went to Xishan, and I did one more thing." E began to say, "I went to Taihua Temple to ask for a lottery." "Good luck?" Ziwei smiled, "I remember you liked Christianity very much." "I need a god." E said contemplatively, "I asked the Bodhisattva the questions in my heart, but the lottery I got directed me to ask others. The lottery is like this: don't ask Chunxuan, you have to ask friends of Chunxuan. Where to go, where to go.” "You want to ask Chunxuanyou?" "Yes." "So you are asking me?" "Yes."

E stood up and raised his voice slightly: "My question is, am I my parents' daughter?" "How could you not be their daughter?" Ziwei also stood up. "I have an impression, it can only be said to be an impression-I was adopted by them." Ziwei was taken aback and looked at E not knowing what to say. "When I was seven years old, there was a Li mother in my family. She scolded me, and I beat her. She said: You don't have to be violent, you are the same as us—you are not as good as us. You were picked up from the mound! I didn't ask Mother, what does this mean. Later, Li Ma said it several times. She hates me. Later, some people said that I don’t look like Mei and the others.”

Ziwei just looked at a glass bottle.After a while, he looked at E Qingxiu's beautiful young face and said: "E, I am very grateful for your trust in me. I hope you can believe what I say. Your father came back from studying abroad, and you will be born a year later." I was a student in Minglun at that time, and I saw your mother walking in the campus wearing baggy clothes. I am not qualified to participate in your full moon wine, but I do know that Mr. Meng has a daughter. You can ask your aunt,— —Or, you can ask Mrs. Qin, Xie Fangli. She has known you since you were not born, and I believe her words are the same as mine. "

E kept his head half down, and at this moment he sighed unconsciously.This answer was what she expected.She has long had faith in her heart, she is from the Meng family.But shadows are terrible, shadows eat reality.She thanked Mr. Xiao for wiping away the shadow, looked up at him, and almost asked the second question. The rumble of the plane was approaching, as if flying around the city.They all looked at the roof to see if it would collapse.The plane went, no bombs.E hoped that a bomb would come and kill her and Uncle Xiao together. Ziwei pushed open the door and saw several black spots in the sky getting farther and farther away.Said to E: "Maybe the enemy plane will come back, you'd better go to the back mountain to hide for a while."

E thought, this is driving me away, so he said, "Thank you for telling me." As he walked out. Ziwei frowned and said, "Stop, E, do you believe it or not?" "Why don't I believe it? I do." "You are originally the daughter of Meng Yue and Lu Bichu! Respect them well. Don't think about that groundless fabrication, it's really ridiculous. The words of an ignorant servant over the years have affected your life. It's really not worth it—but it's also because Your personality is a bit weird and you are affected." Wei did not say the last sentence.

"I see." E said vaguely. "Fight for glory for your country, your family, and yourself! This glory is not fame and wealth, but the performance of your ability, the completion of your whole person, and your communication and understanding with all living beings and all things." Zi Wei stopped.After thinking for a moment, I asked, "Can I tell your parents about this?" The boundless silence made both of them feel depressed.E thought for a while, then shook her head, she would rather have a secret that only belongs to two people. E's pointed chin twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something. Before she could speak, Ziwei said, "You should tell them. You must first understand each other with your parents. If you don't understand the situation, how can you let them understand you? How can you understand them?" E bent over, as if agreeing, and withdrew.She ran to the back of the mountain, and on the way, some people who ran for the alarm had already gone back.She ignored some people's greetings, and ran to sit under a tree by herself, trying to sort out her troubled heart.She cried for a while first, let the tears flow down freely, and even felt a lot lighter on her body.And this heavy pressure was removed by Mr. Xiao.She was almost glad that she had this secret, that she could tell him, listen to him, and share it with him. There was a brook flowing by the side of the tree, and she soaked her handkerchief to wipe away the tears.On the clear water, she saw Uncle Xiao's smooth face shaking, as if he was smiling at her. , She felt grateful.Thanks to her parents, they have such good friends. —Ask Aunt Qin again?Absolutely not!Uncle Shaw's words are worth the testimony of tens of millions of people.Dear mother, you gave birth to me and raised me, but you still worry about me and worry about me.E really wanted to hug her mother, like Mei often did, but she knew that she would not stretch out her arms when she saw her mother. E was the last one to return to the dormitory. Wu Jiaxin and the other students laughed and said, how serious is the alarm that Meng Li has run away! The school year exams are coming, and the students feel the pressure no matter whether they study hard or not.E is very serious about the exam this time, reviewing his homework carefully and comprehensively, which is the purpose of the exam.For several weeks, although she did not go home, she felt that she was closer to her family, her classmates, biology, and Uncle Shaw.She ended her year of study in a peaceful mood. In the first week of the holiday, there was an ambulance class to teach the knowledge of rescuing the wounded, so as to act as a temporary ambulance to deal with the bombing.E and Wu Jiaxin both participated.One afternoon near dusk, in the playground of a local university, after listening to the explanation, people divided into groups for practice.Most of the students who came to participate were senior students from various universities, and they were still grouped by school at this time.E, Wu Jiaxin, He Man and others took turns pretending to be the wounded and had them bandaged.E's head was covered with bandages, only two eyes were exposed.He Man said: "Your eyes are covered with white bandages, but they are very dark." E replied: "Aren't they usually dark?" He Man couldn't answer.Wu Jiaxin said: "People who don't know Meng Liji will think that she is very harsh, she is—" She couldn't think of words, so she laughed first.E Dao: "Let me tell you, it's weird." Turning his eyes, he saw white flowers all around, all of them were "wounded" wrapped in bandages.Some people walked around giving pointers, thinking to themselves, this little bit of skill learned should never be put to use.In addition to bandaging, there are stretcher weaving, wounded lifting and other projects, which are actually the lessons of the Boy Scouts.Because there were not enough teaching aids for the demonstration, E and Wu Jiaxin waited aside.They sat on the steps, looking at the wild flowers underground, thinking about their own thoughts. The sun was setting, and a person walked in the twilight, with strong arms and strong steps, and stopped beside them. It turned out to be Yan Yingshu. "You guys are here too." He spoke Mandarin, as if he had a cold.E looked at him and remained silent.Jiaxin said, "You're here too." "We are strong, and we have a stretcher team. There are too few teaching aids, and we are not well organized. We should contact several departments, and the mobilization is not extensive enough." Yingshu reviews.He joined the Three Youth League last year.The purpose of joining the group is to resist Japan and save the country. The members of the group study the Three People's Principles together, read and play together, and they are also very progressive. A few classmates from Yingshu came over, and after a few words, they sang.The lyrics are as follows: The journey of the great road also means that the world is for the public.Select the virtuous and capable, trustworthy and harmonious.Therefore, people are not alone in caring for their relatives, not only in their sons and sons, so that they will have their own end, they will be able to use their strength, and their children will have their strengths. The widowed, widowed, lonely, lonely, disabled, and sick are all taken care of. Men have a share, and women have a return.The evil of goods is abandoned on the ground, so there is no need to hide it in oneself; the evil of power does not come from the body, so there is no need to do it for oneself.That's why you don't prosper if you conspire against others, you don't commit robbery and robbery, and you don't shut down outsiders. This is called Great Harmony. These are words and sentences in "Book of Rites · Yun Pian", expressing the ideals that people have had since ancient times.Ideals are always beautiful, but the tune sounds a little weird. He Man beckoned them to come over, when it was their turn to practice, Ying Shu and others also followed.A boy said: "Someone is going to camp in Haigeng next month, so you should go too." He said "someone" was referring to the Sanqingtuan.He Man shook his head to E and the others, and said in the tone of a girl representative: "We won't go, we will have a book club next month." The book they are reading now is "Popular Philosophy". Yingshu and others went to their stretcher team.E and others continued their practice.This time it was the feet that were bandaged, and the white hair turned into white feet.The sky is getting darker and the white is more vivid.Someone brought a gas lamp, hung it on a tree, and stood under the tree to speak.He said that to deal with air raids, one is evacuation and the other is ambulance.The former prevents casualties, while the latter reduces deaths. He thanked everyone for their contribution to the war of resistance and hoped that everyone would practice well. This is very important. "Why don't you say more important things!" He Man's voice was quite loud, "The most important thing is that we have an air force to protect our own airspace!" "Yes, yes." Wu Jiaxin and others agreed.This is a very simple truth, Xiaowa has already known it.But what's the use of only reasoning! After the training was over, Yingshu and others came over and walked back to school with E and others.There was an argument on the road. Ying Shu said that it is obvious that the Air Force is needed, but the problem is that the country is too weak to become strong for a while.This can not be blamed on anyone, it is because of the corruption of the Qing government and the warlords in the future, there is no power to build national defense. "I'm not blaming anyone," He Man said calmly, "Evacuation and first aid are of course important, but I just thought it was more important to have air force protection." Yingshu said: "We have to make up for wasted time and delays." He Man pondered and said: "The goals are often the same, but the problem is that the methods are different and the paths taken are different." Everyone doesn't speak.A boy suddenly said: "The song we sing is the ideal of great unity in the world. There should be many different ways to realize it." "From different to same." E said. Passing by Cuihu Lake, Yingshu said to E: "Mother and the others are very comfortable in Anning. It's a holiday. Why don't you and your cousins ​​stay in Anning for a few days?" E remained silent. The embankment of Cuihu Lake is too familiar to the students, and the shadows of bridges and trees in the water are clear and blurred in the night light. E returned to the dormitory, and at the gate, she saw two people sitting on chairs by the wall. They greeted her as if they had found a lost treasure.Those are her parents!She was a little reserved, and stopped after calling out "Daddy, Mommy". The three of them stood silently for a while, feeling a lump in their throats.E whispered, "Mother is here anyway." Bichu was indeed very tired, panting slightly.Because there were people coming and going in the doorway, it was only agreed that E would go home as soon as the holiday was over, but E stopped talking and walked away with his head down. third quarter The day of graduation finally came. For Tan Taixuan, it was really an unusual day. At seven o'clock in the morning, the university held a graduation ceremony.The sky was very bright, and Xuanzi felt that it was dawning very early this day.When I arrived at the playground, I heard other students saying: "It's dawn so early." "Probably because you didn't fall asleep." Someone replied.The students are arranged according to the department. Everyone has the joy of completing their studies, but also the anxiety of going to the society, and even more worry about the current situation.There was excitement on the young faces.They are about to embark on a new journey in life.They greet each other, talk loudly, may never see each other again, and say a few more words.Xuanzi was among her classmates, wearing a bamboo cheongsam, light blue short-sleeved thin sweater, white shoes and white socks, which she chose after several days of deliberation.The clothes are simple and plain, with distinct bumps on her body.Still catches the eye.The Department of Foreign Languages ​​is next to the Department of Economics.Zhang Xinlei was not far away.He asked Xuanzi where he was working, and Xuanzi said, "I haven't thought about it!" Because he asked Zhang Xinlei where he was.He ridiculed Xinlei and said that he had a few things waiting for him to choose, and he would probably go to Chongqing.At this time, a classmate said in a low voice: "So you know the eldest lady!" Xuanzi didn't care when he heard it.The ceremony was presided over by Xiao Cheng. His words were very simple, and then he announced the graduation list. Hearing his name, the students all secretly agreed in their hearts: "Here!" .When she read the word Tantaixuan, she made a posture of standing at attention.To appear in the post of saving the country during the Anti-Japanese War, she felt that she was really a bit of a big deal. After the list was announced, Principal Qin began to speak, saying: "The Anti-Japanese War has entered its fourth year, and it has been a year since the outbreak of the European War. The situation is grim, and we can't see when we will win. You are the first since the Anti-Japanese War. Three batches of graduates. Most of the first two batches of students made contributions to the cause of resisting Japan and saving the nation. I believe you will also be the glory of your alma mater. Your alma mater will always be proud of you.” President Qin’s calm and powerful voice hit every student heart of.The ceremony was arranged in the early morning in order to avoid the usual time of air raids, but today is very special. Just as Principal Qin finished his speech, a wave of whispers rushed from the crowd to the rostrum, "Hang the ball!" "Hang the ball!" It's a ball!" Sure enough, a red ball like a drop of blood appeared on Wuhua Mountain in the distance. Principal Qin adjusted his glasses and said humorously: "It seems that the enemy plane also knows that you are graduating today, so I want to contact you." As usual, the school was not evacuated until the sirens of the air raid sirens sounded.After exchanging opinions, several gentlemen skipped a few speeches and declared a moment of silence for the three students who died for their service in the field. Finally, Meng Yue spoke on behalf of all the teachers.Everyone listened intently to the teachers' entrustment to them. "Students," Fu Zhi just started to speak when the air raid siren sounded. Fuzhi looked at Mr. Qin and Mr. Xiao, and then said decisively: "I won't talk about what I said today. Before you leave school, we can still have free speeches. Now I wish you all to do your best in your work. The future is endless." Xiao Cheng stepped forward and said: "We have to end the meeting. Your graduation ceremony ended with the sound of sirens. I don't think anyone will forget it. Now we sing the school song!" Self-improvement! Self-improvement! Self-improvement! Self-improvement is necessary for continuous health!" The last two lines of the school song are very high-pitched, and the young voices converge into a majestic song that resonates with Ye Xingyun, overwhelming the wailing sirens.Zi Wei announced the end of the ceremony. Everyone slowly left the playground and walked towards the hillside behind the school building.Xuanzi was with her classmates and saw He Man in front of her. Several classmates were listening to her talk about a new book.At this time Wei Feng was not far away, and came over to congratulate her. Xuan Zi said: "You will be unemployed after graduation, and you will have no food to eat." Wei Feng said: "Miss Xuan Zi will be unemployed? Isn't it an anecdote?" Xuan Zi wanted to make a funny face, but a sweet smile appeared on his face.Wei Feng stopped talking, walked towards He Man, talked about the book with her classmates, and walked all the way.Xuanzi was a little unhappy, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked to the residence instead of calling the police.Several classmates greeted her: "Tantaixuan, how are you going to the city?" Two other classmates followed, Xuanzi shook her hand, and she asked her to be quiet. The small shops on the side of the street hadn't opened their doors yet. Amid the sound of sirens, they could only hear everyone yelling and urging them to get up. After a while, they walked out of the city in twos and threes, but there was no need to close the doors again.Xuanzi thought about Wei Feng's expression all the way, and felt that he was very incomprehensible. She didn't know how much Ling Xueyan knew about him. She was too simple, and Wei Feng was too complicated. "But what does this have to do with me." She gently fanned herself with a handkerchief, as if to scatter these thoughts away, "The one who really has something to do with it is Paul. Paul's surname is Maddow is ridiculous." Over the past year or so, the relationship between Xuanzi and Paul has developed greatly, and it has reached the point where marriage can be discussed. When Xuanzi was talking to his mother, he took Paul as a candidate.At that time, the average family could not accept a foreigner.Jiangchu and his wife were more open-minded and did not think of race as a suspicion. They also learned that although Paul's father was a poor pastor, his grandfather was very rich, so they thought it might be considered.The alleys are twists and turns, who knows the road ahead. Xuanzi's nest in Baozhu Lane is another scene.The room was upstairs and very small.A drapery of batik drapes hangs from the roof, covering two walls.A small bed was covered with a bedspread of the same colour.Three or four dolls crowded into the corner, hugging a doll standing on a low table. She was blond and blue-eyed, wearing a lotus-colored short skirt, holding her chubby little hands, as if observing something, very cute.When Xuanzi came in, she pulled the doll's little hand first, and said to her, "I graduated, but I haven't had breakfast yet!" Then she made a cup of milk powder, sat by the window, and slowly sipped it.The milk was too hot, and she went out onto the porch and leaned on the railing to look at a pear tree.The pear tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, and the small fruits are just showing their shape, hanging all over the branches.For some reason, Wei Feng's figure flashed in front of my eyes again, "Why do I think of him again! It's really inexplicable." After a while, the all-clear alarm sounded, and the landlord's family discussed why it was so fast today, probably because the enemy plane turned around. The courtyard door opened with a bang, and a young man with blond hair and blue eyes who looked like a doll walked in.He walked across the yard and whistled upward. "Paul!" Xuanzi waved downstairs. Someone came in with a bright smile and a bouquet of roses. "Nine flowers, congratulations on the prosperous journey." Paul presented the flowers, especially explaining the numbers.He knew that "nine" was the largest number in China, followed by a kiss on the cheek, which was already a common etiquette among them. Paul said: "I knew you didn't run the alarm." Xuanzi smiled and didn't answer, let Paul sit on the chair, and said: "Students have changed a lot after graduation. Many people left Kunming. I don't know what will happen to them. Life." "Only Miss Tantai doesn't move." Paul said with a smile, looking at Xuanzi sitting on the batik bedcover, he felt that she was really radiant. Hyun-ja has already found a job. Because she can speak both Chinese and English fluently, she had several choices.One is the US Consulate in Kunming. They believed that Xuanzi would do a good job and persuaded her many times, but she refused to be in the same institution as Paul and refused.There are two dignitaries in Chongqing, Jiangchu and his wife hoped that she would go, but she was unwilling to leave Kunming and refused to agree.The chosen thing is a bit pedantic, and it is to do translation work in a department in the Yunnan Provincial Government.Everyone tacitly knew it, and secretly thought it was just Xuanzi's joke.In fact, she was serious. "Everyone should contribute to the War of Resistance, this is my purpose." She added, "To avenge the bayonet's death." Xuanzi said: "I used to walk west to go to class every day, and then I just walk east to work every day." "For Baozhu Lane, the provincial capital is in the east. For China, the United States is on the other side of the earth. If you don't go east or west, you have to go to the opposite side." Paul said. Let him go to America, something Paul had hinted at so many times, never finding what he thought was a dignified enough opportunity to make it official.Today, Xuanzi graduated; the place is in this gorgeous little nest.He walked out of the hint, feeling as if he was being guided by some light, stood up and took a step outside the door, then turned around and stepped back, he stood in front of Xuanzi and asked solemnly in English: "Tantaixuan, would you marry me?" Is it?" Then he said the same thing in Chinese. Xuanzi had long expected that Paul would raise it, and sometimes even wondered why he didn't raise it.It was very touching to hear his words at this time.In fact, she has been waiting for this sentence for a long time.She pondered for a while, looked at Paul solemnly, and said, "Let me think about it, going from one side of the earth to the other is a big event. Isn't it the other way around?" They both laughed as they spoke. "I know you have to discuss it with your family." Paul said, "In fact, we also respect the opinions of our parents." "Have you asked your parents?" "Of course." Paul said, "They think this is God's arrangement. I found you in Kunming, a black-haired Chinese." Paul took Xuanzi's hand and said, "You know when I have this idea ?" "The night when the Daguanlou ran an alarm, by the lake." Paul picked up Xuanzi at once, turned around in the room, and said loudly: "It's so smart, so smart!" Xuanzi struggled to get off the ground, put his fingers on the On the lips, it means that no noise is allowed. "Sit down, will you Americans sit down properly?" "I can still meditate." Paul sat on the chair and lowered his hands, as if he was very obedient.Xuanzi looked at him and then at the doll, and laughed unconsciously. They discuss the activities of the day.Xuanzi will have a party with her classmates in the afternoon, and will listen to Meng Fuzhi's lecture in the evening.Paul has work in the afternoon and they decide to have lunch together. Paul said, "What about lifelong events? I'll wait." "It won't be long." Xuanzi patted Paul's arm lightly, "I'm going home, to Chongqing." They went downstairs and walked past the landlord's kitchen, the landlady looked at Xuanzi with a strange look, It was like this every time Paul came to her.Hyunja wanted to say loudly, "This is my fiancé," but she just smiled, took Paul's arm and walked out. It was originally a clear sky, with white clouds dotting the sky, like light balloons, I don't know where they will go.They had just walked out of the alley when it began to rain. "Your clothes are getting wet, you should come by car." Paul often doesn't drive, he prefers to walk. Clouds drifted across the sky, and the rain was heavy with crushed hail.They were walking under the eaves of the shops along the street.When I walked to another alley, I suddenly heard someone say, "Come in and sit down, it's going to rain." This is the lady proprietress of a small shop calling.The two of them looked at each other, only to realize that they hadn't discussed where to go. It was a newly opened shop, and it looked clean, so they walked in and sat down at a small table.The proprietress smiled all over her face and asked what I wanted. A note was slantedly pasted on the wall, saying Yuxi rice noodle, Shiping tofu and so on.They ordered a plate of Shiping tofu, long slices of tofu grilled over charcoal fire and coated with spicy sauce.Xuanzi looked at Paul and then at Tofu, and suddenly laughed again.Paul patted her on the head and said deliberately: "Little girl, you are so happy to see the food, are you hungry?" He picked up a piece of tofu and took a bite, which made him jump up.Seeing this, Xuanzi couldn't stop laughing.There was no one else in the store, and it became the world of the two of them for a while.The proprietress is generous, she doesn't take it as a surprise, and does her own thing.At this time, there was a young woman who picked up a load of vegetables, drenched in water, as if she had just returned from buying vegetables, and whispered to the proprietress, and after a few words, she picked the vegetables to the back.When he walked past the store, he saw Bozi bent over with a smile, suddenly he was taken aback, stopped, and immediately went back. The rain gradually stopped, and the blue sky was dazzlingly bright.Not wanting to sit any longer, they got up and walked out of the shop.Xuanzi turned around inadvertently, and saw the woman say to the proprietress: "Go buy charcoal." She turned and walked in the other direction.The wet clothes stick to the body, showing a beautiful curve.Xuanzi's heart moved, as if he had seen this figure somewhere before.She had no time to think about it, only to talk to Paul.They speak both Chinese and English, and they don't understand some of the things they say, but they are all very happy in this whisper.No one mentioned lunch.This day, they went out to encounter a rain, and saw a familiar person, did not eat lunch. In the afternoon, the Department of Foreign Languages ​​held a simple tea party for the graduates.The head of the department, Wang Dingyi, admired Xuanzi very much and suggested that she stay in school.At this time, he told Xuanzi that he might be disappointed if he went to work in the provincial government, so it is better to still teach in school.Hyun Jae said with a smile, originally her hopes were not high, it was just a change of environment.Teachers and students said goodbye cordially. A few classmates had dinner together, and everyone was a little bored.Some people say that graduation is a big event and they should be told to their parents, but now they don't know where they are.Someone else said: "No matter where you are, your parents will always bless you. It's hard to say whether the road ahead will bless us." They also said some personal whereabouts, and they left. The evening speech will still be held in the playground.According to Mr. Meng's intention, there is no need for gas lamps, the bright moonlight is bright enough.Before the time was up, many people were already coming and going on the playground.Almost all students from all grades came.Many teachers also came.Jiang Fang, Li Lian and Qian Mingjing all came.The Xuanzi moved bricks and squeezed in front of the "podium". Mr. Meng sat on a tree trunk by the side of the playground and looked at everyone. The tree trunk was so big that it could be used as a podium.The field gradually fell silent.He said: "I originally wanted to talk about family life with my classmates in the history department. Mr. Xiao said that he could talk to everyone. I don't have any good words. It's just that everyone is far away from their parents. Maybe they are willing to listen to the words of the elders. You are now facing With a new starting point in life, and in a holy war where the whole nation is working together to fight against the invaders, the situation will inevitably be more complicated and life will inevitably be more difficult. Life will encounter many unexpected things in this world. No one can predict the future , but I think four years of college life will help everyone walk their own way. "Everyone knows that there were several times in the history of China that due to the invasion of foreign races, the regime moved southward, and the culture also moved southward, which is called the southward crossing of clothing. One time, the emperor of Jin and Yuan crossed the river, and the capital of today's Nanjing was established, and the gentry of the Central Plains also moved southward one after another; Once, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong crossed the river and established his capital in today’s Hangzhou. This was another crossing in clothes. Another time was when King Fu crossed the river in the late Ming Dynasty and established his capital in Nanjing. This was the third time crossing south in clothes. People have not been able to return to their homeland. The war we are fighting now is not only for one country, but for the world. We are fighting to eliminate the crimes of fascism against humanity and for the justice of all mankind. Today we not only After crossing the Yellow River, crossing the Yangtze River, and reaching the southwestern border, life is very difficult, but we keep singing, which is amazing! As long as you young people are here, we will definitely be able to fight back and return to the north. This is my Confidence, of course confidence is false, it must rely on everyone's efforts to become a reality. "Efforts have many aspects. Everyone's ability is big or small, and their destiny is good or bad. Ability can be said to be the talent of each person, and it is the gift of God. If the talent given by God is not developed hard, it is tantamount to being discarded. Efforts can complete people's goals. Talent, but it can not increase people's talent. To make full use of talent, this is to make full use of talent. In addition to one's own efforts, one must also rely on the environment to make full use of one's talent. This requires a reasonable society. For everyone , the environment that can make the best use of our talents is good times, and the environment that hinders the best use of our talents is adversity. When you go out to work, you may encounter good times or adversity. Do our best under the conditions permitted. At any time, the most important thing we have to do is to do our due diligence. As a member of the nation, due diligence is what you should do; due diligence is what your profession requires you to do There are big and small, good luck and bad luck, but everyone should work hard to do their best. "Recently, I often think about China's way out. Defeating a powerful enemy is the immediate mission. In the long run, China's only way out is modernization. We are bullied by foreign powers because our production and economy are backward. Compared with foreign powers, We are like country people, and the great powers are like city people. If we want to change country people into city people, from backwardness to advanced, we must realize modernization. This requires everyone to do their best, contribute their intelligence, and contribute their acquired knowledge and skills Only in this way can we guarantee the victory of the War of Resistance now and the success of nation building in the future.” Fuzhi spoke, sometimes in a questioning tone, as if he was talking to his classmates.After speaking for about an hour, I stopped and asked everyone to express their opinions. Someone handed me a note, barely recognizable under the moonlight, "Mr. Meng's modernization is exciting, but how to achieve it? I'm going to Yan'an, do you think it's okay?" Another note read: "Can reading save the country? Meng Fuzhi said: "If our culture is not destroyed, we will not perish. In this sense, reading is also to save the country. The War of Resistance requires a lot of practical work. If you don't want to study anymore and do the work of saving the nation seriously, that is also very Important. I think it is also possible to go to Yan'an, and the road to national founding can be explored." At this time, a student stood up and said, "Mr. Meng encourages his classmates to go to Yan'an, isn't it a bit out of line?" Another student said loudly, "That's the road to freedom!" Yingshu, he said: "If we want to win the war of resistance and build a country, the best guidance should be the Three People's Principles." At the moment, some people are against it, some are in favor, and several people speak at the same time.Fuzhi clapped his hands, "It's great that everyone is discussing enthusiastically. May I invite some gentleman to say a few words?" Jiang Fang stood up and said slowly: "I often hear my classmates sing a song called "World Harmony". The lyrics are taken from "Book of Rites". Our ancestors yearned for an equal and prosperous society. We still haven’t achieved it in 2009, so now we can have newer and more scientific theories to guide us.” Everyone understood that he was talking about Marxism, and Mr. Jiang went on to say: “I completely agree with Mr. Meng’s opinion. There is still a long way to go, maybe we all have to go to the front line when necessary, but one day at school, we have to study hard and study hard.” There was silence on the field, the atmosphere was very serious, and everyone was thinking about their own paths. The female classmate burst into tears, and Fuzhi said gently: "Life is too heavy for the students. But you have to remember that you bear the destiny of the nation, beat out the Japanese devils, and build a modern country." , depends on you. It can also be said that you bear the fate of the whole world and all mankind, because we are fighting against evil forces, justice must win, and the sinners against humanity must be defeated." Fuzhi looked around everyone, and finally said , "No matter what path you take, I believe you will be worthy of your parents' state." After the meeting, Xuanzi walked with the classmates, thinking that the third uncle's speech today seemed a little heavy, not as funny as usual, what will my path be like?She thought about going out of the school gate and saw Paul waiting for her by the side of the road, so she forgot about the road problem. They didn't want to follow the crowd and stood in the shadows.After a while, I saw several classmates walking over with Fuzhi, E and Wu Jiaxin following behind, and Jiaxin was wiping tears.The two of them waited for the people to disperse before going to the jeep parked not far away. Fuzhi and the others walked slowly under the moonlight.A few students sent Fuzhi to the big stage to discuss China's modernization and talent all the way. fourth quarter It's summer vacation. E followed Fuzhi along the Mang River in silence, asking questions and answering one sentence, rarely speaking.But both father and daughter felt very close to each other.E confided her secret, which is the beginning of eliminating barriers. "Daddy, I'll carry the satchel for you." Fuzhi still had the same set of equipment: blue calico cross-body bag, red oiled paper umbrella. "The book is very heavy." Fu Zhi said gently, "You take the umbrella." E took the umbrella and carried it on his shoulder.Unknowingly smiling, after all, he was still a child.They walked through the green embankment, walked through the only street in the village, turned into an alley, and entered the gate of the courtyard.The whole courtyard immediately became lively.Amidst the chaotic sound of dogs barking and pigs humming, I heard Mei and Xiaowa's crisp and tender voices, "Daddy and sister are back." Mei ran up to take the satchel, Xiaowa took the umbrella, and at the sound of the stairs, Bichu helped着板墙下来了，神气喜洋洋的。峨走过去靠近母亲，碧初伸手搂住峨的肩，两人都有千言万语，又似乎无话可说。 晚上弗之到大门上头去睡，让碧初和峨睡一床。峨抢着收拾床铺，碧初说：“峨，你当时怎么不说，怎么不问娘呢？”峨不作声。“也怪娘粗心。”碧初叹道。峨拿起母亲的手贴在脸上，仍不作声。以后母女间再不提这件事。 猪圈上的生活是艰难的，但孟家人仍然充满了朝气和奋发的精神，由于峨的贴近，家里更是和谐，快 happy. 嵋自从生病后，身体一直不好，勉强上了半年学，终于休学在家。小娃一人住校很不方便，便也没有上学。他们每天读书写字，并帮助做家务。整个板壁都贴满了他们的成绩，像是举办书法展览。腊梅林里房壁上贴的九成宫被炸剩了半边，嵋重新临过，又贴在墙上。嵋贴这张字时，想起埋在泥土中的那一刻，不由得抖抖身子。“像一只狗，”她想，“亡国的人都像猪狗一样。” 他们还画画。小娃的内容主要是飞机，各种各样的飞机。嵋乱涂水彩风景画，不画飞机，但却和小娃做过同样的梦，梦见这些飞机和敌机周旋。敌机一架架一溜黑烟加一个倒栽葱，没有一架近得昆明。小娃在梦中数着，九架，十架，十一架——。 过了几天，弗之和碧初向孩子们宣布了另一件喜事：他们要搬家了，搬到宝台山上，文科研究所的一个侧院，房屋原已破烂不堪，现经修理，勉强可以住人，比猪圈楼上已是强过百倍了。 他们搬家的前一天，来了一位陌生客人。这客人其实已在白礼文家出现过，是瓦里大土司家管事。他带来两箱礼品，除火腿、乳扇之类，另有一对玉杯，作嫩黄色，光可鉴人。客人呈上一封信，信中内容是弗之没有想到的。瓦里大土司联合川边邻近小土司，邀请孟樾先生全家到他们那里住一段时期，不需要设帐讲学，只在言谈笑语间让他们得点文气，就是大幸。弗之看信，碧初递过茶来。那人忙不迭站起道谢。 弗之看完信叹了一声，想，大山丛林之中，真是躲藏的好地方啊，可谁能往那里去！他请客人坐下，问了两句路上情况，说：“上复你家主人，多谢他们想到我。能为各兄弟民族服务是很有意义的事。但是我是明仑大学教员，有自己的工作，职责在身，绝不能任意离开。希望以后贵处子弟多些人出来上学，再回去服务桑梓。现在许多学校内迁，正是好机会。”那人道：“大土司素来敬重读书人。我们那里都盼着有你家这样的先生住上一阵，长了不敢想，住一年，也好调理一下，休养休养。” 弗之暗想，一年？一年以后，还不知是什么情况，遂说：“我写一封复信带回好了。”从网篮里找出墨盒毛笔，婉言辞谢。这时孟府邻居两只猪打起架来，吱哇乱叫。小娃隔着楼板，大声劝说：“不要打了，我们明天就搬走了。讲点礼貌呀！”嵋跑上楼来，手里拿着一个笸箩，要打米做饭。她伸手从米罐里拈出几条米虫，从楼板缝扔下去，笑盈盈地说：“真不懂事，有客人呢！”那人看得明白，对碧初说：“这样的少爷、小姐，你家好福气。”碧初微笑。信写好了，那人接过收好，忽然跪下叩头。弗之吃了一惊，侧身说“不敢当”。那人道：“我们没有读过孟先生的书，只知道要尊敬有学问的人，今天到府上看见你们的生活，心里甚是难过。” 弗之诚恳地说：“生活苦些无妨，比起千万死去的同胞，流离失所的难民，我们已是在天上了。只要大家同心抗日，我们别无所求。” 那人告辞，坚持留下礼品，说如果连礼品都不收，回去要受处罚。弗之也不拘泥，收下食物，坚把玉杯退回。 那人紧紧腰带，大步下楼去了。只听见大门外蹄声得得，想是扬鞭而去。
