Although Sun Qi was usually at odds with Xiao Cui, when Xiao Cui was wronged, he sincerely sympathized with Xiao Cui. "What's the matter? Da Chibao dares to beat people?" Sun Qi - because he had his head shaved for more than 20 years, his eyes are a little short-sighted - asked with narrowed eyes. "Damn it, they haven't hooked up with the Japanese devils yet, that's all; tomorrow they will fuck the little devils, do we still have a job to do?" Xiao Cui's voice was deliberately raised, in order to teach The people of number three heard. "They have to dare too!" Sun Qi's voice was not low. "Let's wait and see, are barefoot still afraid of wearing shoes?"

The joint attack of Sun Qi and Xiao Cui made everyone in the alley aware of the activities of the Guan family.Everyone doesn't know how the country's major affairs will evolve, but they all think that Guan Xiaohe is impersonal. This "public opinion" soon reached the ears of Inspector Bai.He transferred Xiao Cui to a secluded place and gave instructions: "Speak less! These days, no one is allowed to know who is standing there. It is best not to offend anyone! Do you hear me?" "Understood!" Xiao Cui, a rickshaw driver, has never had a good impression of the police.Inspector Bai is an exception.How many times, when he went crazy after drinking, or lost his temper because of poverty, the inspector Bai always spoke harshly, but his heart was simple and honest, and refused to take him away.Therefore, even if Inspector Bai's words could not completely teach him to calm down, he reluctantly obeyed. "Inspector Bai, are Japanese soldiers occupying Beiping forever?"

"Then, I don't know. I just knew that the villains are about to raise their heads!" Captain Bai sighed. "how?" "Why! Look, every time there's a war, the thieves, the smugglers, and the scumbags all tremble. I know it well, because I'm a policeman. We know it well, But we can’t control them, you see, we don’t even know what tomorrow will be like! This time, it’s even more different; the Japanese are here, and there are some Liuliqiu who don’t cover up the bad guys? Just watch, If you want to openly yell smoke and dirt on the street tomorrow, you'll dig out our eyeballs!"

"So from now on, there will be no way for our good people to go?" "Good people? The Chengquan Sect was shot down, and how many copper coins are good people worth? But, let's go back, the bad people can shake their heads and tails, but the good people We have to be good people! We have to be patient, we don’t need to offend people too much, good shoes don’t step on stinky shit, you understand what I mean?” Xiao Cui nodded, feeling a little confused. In fact, even the Japanese didn't figure things out.In Japan, politics does not determine military affairs like Britain and the United States, nor does military decide politics like Germany and Italy.The character of her nation seemed to determine everything for her.She has great ambitions, but she is always ashamed of her short legs and short stature, so even though she has the desire to devour the earth, she dare not openly put forward any doctrines or raise any banners.She can only look for appropriate deceiving terms and expressions after the soldiers have caused trouble.Her politics are used to wipe the ass of the military.

Before the fall of Beiping, some local hooligans were ambushed in Beiping, Tianjin, Baoding, and Japan, and they did things for them that were absolutely shameless, even she herself was ashamed to admit.When Peiping fell, these local hooligans naturally did not have the qualifications and skills to appear on the stage, and Japan did not plan to send many officials to issue orders immediately.Therefore, Beiping was only occupied by the military, and everything came to a standstill inexplicably. Xiao Cui's legs, Sun Qi's hands, and Xiao Wen's mouth were all free.Only Guan Xiaohe "non-stop".However, he didn't run out of any eyebrows.After spending two days with Da Chi Bao, he began to understand that the political and military headquarters are in Tianjin.Beiping is the city garden of the world and a treasure house of cultural relics, but it is a subsidiary of Tianjin in terms of politics and military affairs.The Japanese who instigated the invasion of China were in Tianjin, and the Chinese who were most willing to help the Japanese were also there.If Tianjin is a big show of singing civil and military battles, then Beiping is just an empty city plan.

However, Guan Xiaohe was not discouraged.He very much believed that he would have good luck, and the encouragement and assistance from the big red bag made him want to stop.Ever since he married You Tongfang, he has always colluded with the little wife to attack the big red bag.Although Da Chibao has a great style, she dares to speak and fight, but her heart is quite straightforward. As long as she gets a few good words, she will believe it and forgive others.Guan Xiaohe often helps the little wife secretly on the one hand, and listens to the big red bag on the other hand, so she hates You Tongfang deeply, and always finds a reason to forgive her husband.At the same time, she also knew that she couldn't compete with Tong Fang in terms of beauty and age, so forgiving her husband seemed like a helpless way to win in defeat.She socializes, and she enthusiastically helps her husband to go to activities, and she also wants to compete with Tong Fang for their own merits.This time when the city was ruined and the country was humiliated, apart from not being able to play cards and not being able to go out to the theater, she didn't feel any pain, and she didn't expect Xiaohe's good opportunity to come.When she heard his words, she immediately became excited.She saw official positions, money, food and drink, and gorgeous clothes.She should do all she can to help her husband, that these good things may soon be in her hands.Xiaohe was moved by her enthusiasm and hard work, so he was very kind and polite to his wife these two days, and even kindly criticized her for not having a few curls on her hair!This gave her a lot of warmth, and temporarily stopped fighting with Tong Fang.

On the third day, she decided to part ways with Xiaohe.From the experience of the previous two days, she knew that the friends who stayed in Beiping were not very powerful, so on the one hand, she taught Xiaohe to find them, and it would be beneficial to have more contacts; on the other hand, she I went to find another way to visit women—the old ladies, wives, aunts, or young ladies of the wealthy people in Tianjin, who stayed in Peiping because they liked to listen to operas or for some reason.She felt that this way was more secure than Xiaohe's, because she was confident in her own ability, and also knew that the official position of the movement had to go inside.Sending Xiaohe away, she asked Tongfang to take care of the house, and taught her two daughters to go out too:

"Don't just sit at home and eat in vain! Go out and give your father some activities! Since the government moved to Nanjing, your father taught others to brush it down; although we have never been hungry, we still have a long time to sit and eat. In the future What should we do? Taking advantage of him being able to jump and jump, and taking advantage of this opportunity of changing the dynasty, we will be surrounded by stars and carry him out! Do you understand?" Gaodi and Zhaodi are not as enthusiastic as their mother.Although their family education taught them to like lively, extravagant, and having fun, but they are the younger generation after all; they also know something about the shame of subjugation.

Brother Zhao spoke first.She is the mother's "old" daughter, so she is more favored than her sister.Today, because she was afraid that the Japanese soldiers would come to check her house, she only put on a little powder instead of lipstick. "Mom, I heard that if you meet Japanese soldiers on the road, you will be searched! They only touch women's chests on purpose!" "Teach them to touch! You can even touch a piece of your flesh!" Once the big red bag made up his mind, he was not afraid of anything. "What about you?" she asked Gaudí.Gaudí is a head taller than his sister, with a good-looking back, but not a very beautiful face-the lips are too thick, the nose is too short, and only two eyes are sometimes visibly energetic.Her stature and temper resembled her mother's, so she didn't like her; when the two came together, neither would give in, so there was no way not to touch fire.In the whole family, she can be counted as the most understanding person, and sometimes she dares to say a few words that they least like to hear.Therefore, no one dared to provoke her, so they all hated her a bit. "If I were you, Mom, I wouldn't let my daughter go out and find an official job for Dad at this time! It's shameful!" Gaudí said, turning his short nose into a small hard stick. "Okay! You all don't want to go! Catch your father earning money tomorrow, don't ask him for it!" Da Chibao grabbed the embroidered handbag with one hand and the small sandalwood bone folding fan with the other, charging like a soldier Go out like that.

"Mom!" Zhaodi called his mother to stop. "Don't be angry, I'll go! Tell me where?" The big red bag hurriedly took out a small piece of paper and a few yuan bills from the handbag.Pointing to the note, she said: "Go to these houses! Don't go straight to the court to ask people for trouble, understand? You have to answer in a casual way to find out what is the way! You understand it, and I can go there in person tomorrow. If I can run over alone, I will never work you ladies! Really! I am tired from running, and I will never do it for myself!" After explaining, Da Chibao walked out while still muttering.Brother Zhao held the small piece of paper and a few banknotes in his hand, and stuck out his tongue at Gaudi. "Come on! Let's cheat a few dollars first! Sister, let's go out and play for a while? When Mom comes back, we will say that we have visited several houses, but no one is at home, so it's over."

"Where are we going to play? Are you still in the mood to play?" Gaudi said with a frown. "It's true that there is no place to play! It's all caused by the stinky Japanese devils!" Brother Zhao pouted. "I don't know when peace will come?" "Who knows! Brother Zhao, if we can't fight back the Japanese soldiers and Dad really goes to work for the devils, what shall we do?" "We?" Brother Zhao blinked his eyes and thought for a while. "I can't figure it out! What about you?" "Then, I won't eat at home anymore!" "Yo!" Brother Zhao shrunk his neck, "You just choose nice words! Do you have the ability to earn a living?" "Hi!" Gaudi sighed. "I see, you miss Zhongshi again, nothing else!" "I should like to ask him what the matter is!" Zhongshi is the second young master of the Qian family who drives cars for a living.He is quite handsome. When driving, his face is red and his hair is fluffy. He looks very casual and lively, until he takes off his blue work clothes and puts on casual clothes. , and his hair was combed neatly, he looked like a neat little mechanic again.Although he is close to the Guan family, he has never paid attention to the people of the Guan family, because first, he doesn't come home very often, and second, he likes machinery very much. He doesn't play with the parts of the car all day long, ( He has learned how to fix cars), take apart and put back a broken watch, or a radio; women are hardly on his mind.His fiancée was his sister-in-law's uncle and sister, and his mother forced him to decide.He saw that his sister-in-law was honest and well-behaved, so he believed that her uncles and sisters would not be wrong either.He didn't object to the family's engagement to him, and he wasn't very enthusiastic about getting married.When his mother asked him, "Let's have a happy event", he always replied, "Not busy! Wait until I open a car repair shop!" His wish is to open such a small shop. All parts can be assembled.He is willing to lie under the car and play with those little things; after finishing, he feels the greatest joy when he sees a car that has stopped moving and can run fast again. For a while, he drove for a company and only went to Tangshan.Once, Gaodi joined a small group and traveled to Tangshan, and he was riding in Zhongshi's car.She was a little motion sick, so she sat on the driver's seat.She knew Zhongshi, but Zhongshi didn't pay much attention to her.It wasn't until he spoke that he knew she was a girl from the Guan family, and he treated her very politely.To him, this was just a reasonable and natural move, and it had no other meaning at all.However, Gaudi, because of his cute appearance, thought this was the beginning of a romance. Gaudí had many boyfriends, but whenever they saw Zhaodi, they immediately abandoned her like a bee seeing another more fragrant flower.She quarreled with her sister because of this, and her sister counterattacked confidently: "I don't want to steal your friends, but they want to befriend me, what can I do? Maybe your nose is not very flattering?" This kind of ruthless The attack was enough to make Gaudy's eyes swell from crying, while his mother beating at the side: "Yes, if you are decent, if you are destined to marry someone early, you can also save me some trouble!" The original intention, Gaodi also knew, was that if she could be as beautiful as her younger sister and marry a rich man, wouldn't it be of great benefit to the Guan family? Therefore, Gaudí gradually learned to use fantasy as comfort.She always thought that one day, she would suddenly meet a very beautiful young man, fall in love at first sight in the most secluded place, and only show the family how decent he was when they got married, so that they would be surprised.She needs love; and when she can't get it, she makes it for herself in her head. When she met Zhong Shi, she thought that what she thought in her heart could indeed become a reality!Her ears were almost nailed to the west wall, and every cough and sound in the west courtyard made her terrified.She was patient and not afraid of trouble, and tried her best to find out everything about the Qian family, but it happened that not many people knew about the Qian family.She found the company's address from the phone book, and often walked around the door of the company, hoping to see Zhongshi, but she never saw it.The more elusive it was, the more she felt a lovely pain.She will use fantasy to supplement the facts she lacks, and fill Zhongshi's life experience, character, ability, etc., and make him the most ideal young man. She began to love reading novels, and secretly wrote some stories herself.None of the stories have been written completely, but her white characters and typos are very rich.The hero in the story is always Zhongshi, but sometimes the heroine is herself, and sometimes Zhaodi.When encountering Zhaodi as the heroine, it must be a tragedy. Brother Zhao peeked at these unfinished stories.She was the first in the world to know that Gaudí had this secret.In order to retaliate against her sister for making her the protagonist of the tragedy, she often uses Zhongshi as a tool to mock her sister.From her point of view, the entire Qian family was a bit weird; although Zhong Shi was indeed a handsome young man, his occupation and status were too low.Although my sister is not beautiful, she still can't afford to marry a car driver.In Gaudi's heart, Zhong Shi must be a person who can do everything and know everything, and temporarily enjoys driving for fun, maybe one day he will stand out and become a hero, or some kind of rich man who inherits a huge inheritance, like The kind of characters that are often seen in novels.Whenever Zhaodi ridiculed her, she would definitely answer seriously: "I really want to talk to him, he must know everything!" Today, Zhaodi mentioned Zhongshi again, Gao Di still gave such a serious answer, and added: "Even if he is an out-and-out driver, it is better than kneeling down and begging the Japanese for an official job, much better!"
