Chapter 30 29

It's getting colder and colder.In previous years, the Qi family always called in one or two carts of coal dust in the fifth and sixth months of the lunar calendar, unloaded two small carts of loess, and then called two "coal black men" from the street to shake the coal balls, enough for a whole winter. of.This year, from July 7 onwards, the gates of the city have been opened and closed from time to time, and there is no way to hire a car to pull coal mince.Moreover, under the arbitrariness of the Japanese, everyone seemed to have neglected to pay attention to this matter, although it was indeed a very important matter considering the winter cold in Peiping.Even Xiao Shun'er's mother and Mrs. Tianyou forgot about it.Only old man Qi thought about this problem when he could no longer sleep at dawn, but when the eldest grandson told him about all the difficulties, he could only complain that everyone didn't care about family affairs, and he couldn't get rid of it before Qiqi. The coal was pulled, but I couldn't think of a clever way to do it.

The price of coal is rising day by day.The north wind is blowing hard, and the price of coal is rising.Most of the coal in Tangshan has been intercepted by the Japanese and is no longer coming to Peiping, and the coal mines in Xishan have stopped working because of the melee between the Japanese and our guerrillas.The source of coal in Peking has been cut off! In the Qi family, only Old Man Qi and Tianyou still have the kang in their houses, and the rest of the houses have already been demolished with "improvement" and "progress", and replaced with wooden or iron beds.Old man Qi likes kang, just like he likes dog leather socks. On the one hand, it can show a little bit of his personality that doesn't like the new and hate the old.During the three or nine days in Beiping, even though Old Man Qi lived in a sunny north house with thick walls and tightly pasted windows, in the middle of the night, the old man still felt a needle-like cold wind blowing toward him. From the forehead to the shoulder, he continued to stab.Although the old man curled up into a ball like a big cat, and covered with a thick quilt and fur robe, he still couldn't feel the warmth.Only when a small fire was lit in the kang cave, could he lie comfortably all night.

Mrs. Tianyou didn't like to sleep on the hot kang. The reason she kept it was because she knew that her grandchildren would be sent to sleep in the grandmother's house when they were three or four years old, and it was very convenient to have a kang.The kang has a large area, and it is not easy for children to roll down; it is also easy to take care of it in the middle of the night, so that it will not be hot or cold.However, her south room is the dampest and coldest in the whole courtyard; in three or nine days, the water bottle can be frozen and exploded at night.Therefore, although she doesn't like hot kang, she still has to burn it once in a while to drive away the dampness and cold.

No coal!Old man Qi felt a kind of terror!The Japanese don't need to do any harm or interference to him, they only need to make him spend a whole winter on the cold kang, which is an extremely difficult torture!Although Mrs. Tianyou was not so panic-stricken, she also knew what a sin it would be to have no fire in winter! Ruixuan didn't dare to look at this matter directly.If he has money, he can pay a high price immediately, and take advantage of the time when the coal in the city is not sold out, and hoard coal pellets and coal for a winter or a year.However, both he and the second child have not been paid for several months, and his father's income is very limited.

Xiao Shun'er's mother has mentioned it to her husband several times as a housewife: "If there is no fire in winter, how can you live? Well, half of the people in Peiping will freeze to death!" Ruixuan didn't give her a formal answer several times, sometimes he smiled wryly, sometimes he pretended to be deaf.Once, Xiao Shun'er spoke in place of his father: "Mom, there is no coal, Shun'er goes to pick coal cores!" After staying for a while, he somehow remembered: "Mom! There will be no rice, no white flour, right? " "Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Shun'er's mother said angrily, "You're willing to starve to death! You bastard!"

Ruixuan was stunned for a long time, and said in his heart: "How can there be no shortage of food!" He never thought of such a problem.After Jing Xiaoshun'er said this, his eyes suddenly saw that the distance was far away.If there is a shortage of coal today, how can there be no shortage of food tomorrow?In the past, he thought that the suffering of the dead city was simply a knife or a gun; today, he realized that it might not be a quick knife, but a slow, bloodless one, freezing to death or starving to death!Thinking of this, he denied all reasons for not fleeing.Frozen, hungry, everyone will die, and no one can save the other; is it because he is at home, the whole family can have no coal and no cold, no rice and no hunger?He miscalculated!

He took out the letter from the third child, and he read and reread it countless times.He was eager to talk to the third child.Only the third child can understand him and make up his mind for him. He was so depressed that he actually talked about it with Yunmei at night.On weekdays, not only is he not authoritarian about housework, but his wife decides how much candy beans and jujubes, and he doesn't even ask.Now, he couldn't keep his mouth shut anymore, his mind was already bursting. Yunmei didn't want to look behind the mountain with her watery eyes, and she didn't want her husband to do that either. "Why do you keep your child's words in mind? I think there will be coal soon! Anyway, it's useless to worry! Starvation? I don't believe that a living person can starve to death so easily! You go too? The second child doesn't Willing to support this family! I would, but I don’t have the ability to make money! Forget it, don’t think about it, it’s a day, so why go around and worry about it!”

Her words were devoid of ideals and imaginations, but each sentence carried so much weight that Ruixuan couldn't refute it.Yes, no matter what, he couldn't take the whole family out of Peiping.Then, if the whole family lives in Peiping, he himself must not be able to leave.This is as obvious as two plus two is four. He can only hope that the national army will win and fight back to Peiping quickly! Taiyuan has fallen!Big balloons were raised on the radio station again, "Celebrate the fall of Taiyuan!" The students had to parade again. He has been going to class as usual since his second child dared not go to school anymore.He taught the old men to watch their brothers idle at home.

Did he go to the parade celebrating the fall of Taiyuan?As a teacher in the school, he should take care of the students.On the other hand, motivated by curiosity, he was also willing to participate—he wanted to see if the students and citizens were still as solemn and silent as they were when they celebrated the fall of Baoding.Will continue to be serious, and will not forget revenge. However, he didn't dare to go, what if the students had become numb due to helplessness?He knows that a person's skin is only so thick, once it's peeled off, it's over!He remembered that there was a riot in the school, and a whole class of students dropped out of school.However, the principal and teachers were unyielding, and the parents of the students forced the children to go back to school.They had no choice but to return with shame and shame.When Ruixuan was in class for the first time after the storm, all the students in this class sat there with their heads down, not even making a sound; they failed, they were ashamed!They are full-blooded children!However, when they went to class the next day, they had already returned to normal, talking and laughing as if nothing had happened.They are nothing but children!Their dough is only so thick, it's over as soon as you peel it off!One parade, two parades, three or five parades, neither daring to resist nor frowning all the time, the students would accept the humiliation with hippie smiles, and slowly become unconscious people.If the students are like this, it will be easier for the citizens to tear up their faces and live in peace for a while.

He didn't know what to do, he hated himself for being worthless, for not having the heart and determination to abandon his wife and children and go to the national crisis! In the past few days, the second child's eyebrows are about to wrinkle water drops.The fat lady hadn't spoken to him for three or four days.In the first two days when he didn't go to office, she still believed his bragging, thinking that he already had another career.When the two of them came back from the Guanzhai, she stopped talking, and used glaring and curling lips as greetings.The purpose of the two of them going to Guan's house was to report Lan Dongyang's inhumanity, and to ask Mr. Guan and Mrs. Guan to think up and find something for Ruifeng.When they found something, they brought up the old story again and said: "We will move here, so as not to be troubled by the third child!" Ruifeng thought that the Guan's and his wife would definitely help him, because the quarrel between him and Dongyang was rooted in the Guan's family. win money.

Mr. Guan was quite polite, but he didn't say anything definitively.He gave up this scene to Da Chibao. Da Chibao is wearing a purple silk padded gown today, with lipstick that looks like blood on his lips, and his hair has just been permed, which looks like a sheep's tail.Her grandeur was almost unprecedented, and every freckle on her face seemed to express arrogance and pride. That time, when Mr. Kim showed his power at Guan's house, wasn't there a retired military officer with a prostitute present?He has successfully campaigned and will be published soon--the chief of the special high-tech department of the police station.His name is Li Kongshan.He had many wives, mostly prostitutes.Now that he has official positions again, he decided to dismiss them all and marry a lady from a good family, and a lady who has studied.He took a fancy to Zhaodi.But the big red bag refused to sell such a beautiful Zhaodi at a low price.She is willing to let go of Gaudí.Li Kongshan nodded.Although Gaudi is not very beautiful, she is indeed a lady, a lady who has been a schoolgirl.Besides, when necessary, he can also get two more prostitutes, and if Gaodi is the main empress, there probably won't be many problems with them being concubines.The daughter of the big red bag cannot be given to others for nothing.Li Kongshan promised to the director of the Prostitute Inspection Office of the Big Red Packet Movement.This is after the country's capital was moved to the south, the brothels in Beiping became more and more desolate, and became a small institution that seemed to exist.Now, in order to comfort the Japanese army and at the same time prevent the spread of the disease, this small institution is going to be revived again.Li Kongshan saw that Da Chi Bao had the ability to be a director.At the same time, this agency will definitely increase its funding, and once the inspections are stepped up, it will surely bring in a lot of "foreign money".Others don't know much about it, but Li Kongshan has indeed found out that this will become a small fat vacancy.If he can get this little fat in the hands of his future mother-in-law, he can give Gao Yi a little bit of anger at any time in the future, and squeeze the mother-in-law's money - as soon as the big red bag gives him money, he will treat Gao first. The first peaceful two days.After he had calculated all these, he seriously gave the big red bag to exercise.According to the latest news: he is very sure that things will be successful. When she got up, fell asleep, walked, went to the latrine, the big red bag called herself softly: "Director! Director!" These two words stuck to her tongue like a piece of candy, every time Smack is full of water!She was happy and proud, wishing she could jump up to the roof and shout loudly: "I am the director!" She just hummed and ignored her husband, but showed a good face to her eldest daughter, In order to lure her into agreeing to the marriage, don't be arrogant.To Tong Fang, she actually stopped challenging her. Her reason was: "A grown-up does not compete with a villain!" She is the director, that is, an adult! She also thought about her real power in the future, and she babbled to herself: "I will check every time! I will check every time! If you are afraid of pain and trouble, bring money to the old lady! Bring money! Bring money!" She said, while Nodding, shaking off two or three hairpins from his head.She told Ruifeng unceremoniously: "We are about to have a happy event, and we have to keep that hut for ourselves! Who told you not to move here earlier? As for Lan Dongyang, I think he is not bad! What? You Is it because of us that we fell out with him? I'm so sorry! However, we are not responsible for compensating your losses! Do we have any?" She asked Guan Xiaohe old-fashioned. Xiaohe squinted her eyes, nodded slightly, and shook her head again; she didn't say anything. Ruifeng and the fat lady stood up quickly and ran home like two beaten dogs. What made the couple even more sad was that Lan Dongyang still came to Guan's house and was still popular, because after all he was working as a secretary of the Xinmin Association, and it was inconvenient for the Guan family to offend him.Da Chi Bao Fu sincerely refunded Dongyang's forty yuan: "We always give you a 50% discount when we play cards; when we were busy that day, we took yours at the real price; I'm really sorry!" Dongyang was also generous and gave Gao Di The sisters bought half a catty of peanuts.Da Chibao also posted a set of comments on this gift: "Dongyang! You are right! In this day and age, a young man must know that money is good, and he should save it so that he can save up for the wedding expenses! Gifts are more important than people, and I am not afraid that you will give them half a peanut, it will always be yours." People's hearts! If you spend a lot of money to buy them many expensive and useless things, I may not think highly of you!" After hearing this, Dongyang smiled so much that he exposed his yellow teeth and almost broke his head. gas.He claimed to be the lover of the Gaudi sisters, since they both ate some of his peanuts.These were reported by Tong Fang who met the fat lady outside the door and chirped.The fat lady was so angry that she was shaking with fat all over her body! The second child's ears have been pursed for the past few days.He is very polite to everyone.The food during this process was very bitter. Sometimes because the city gate was closed, I couldn't even eat Chinese cabbage, so I just fried a little sesame tofu with sesame oil;The food was too bitter, so when I picked up the bowl, regardless of whether there was food or not, I would clean it up and chew loudly, like a duck eating.Not only did he not complain that the food was too bitter, but he also praised his sister-in-law for being able to teach everyone how to eat in such a difficult time.In this way, Ruixuan and Yunmei had even more trouble, because the second child's politeness was originally to ask the brother and sister-in-law for some change, so that they could buy cigarettes or something.The boss had to make one or two extra trips to the pawn shop because of this! The fat lady didn't say anything, she secretly carried a small bag and went back to her mother's house.This made the second child like a chicken that had lost its flock all day long, looking around in the yard, not knowing what to do.He didn't want to report the fact that he was unemployed to the old people, but now he can't keep his mouth shut, because he needs the love and affection of the old people—after a quarrel with his wife, people often think of their parents.He wasn't telling the truth.He made up another story.He knows that the culture of the Qi family is exactly the opposite of that of Hollywood: Hollywood regards beatings as heroes, while the Qi family regards beatings as virtuous and filial.Therefore, he did not dare to say that he hit Lan Dongyang, but said that Lan Dongyang hit him and would continue to hit him.Both grandfather and mother sympathized with him.Grandfather said: "Okay! He hit us, he didn't respond, we must never fight back!" Mom also said: "If he wants to hit us, we will avoid him!" "Yes!" The second child loved to listen to his mother's words: "That's why I don't go to school! I quickly find something else to do, so that I won't be bullied by him again, and I can't beat him back! Isn't it?" He didn't dare to mention the third child, for fear that if he mentioned it, it would involve the issue of family separation.He is unemployed and has to eat at home, so it seems inconvenient to mention separation.Even if the gendarmes really came to arrest him in these two days because of the third child, he had no choice but to accept his fate; anyway, he didn't want to go out and starve first.Ruixuan was a little afraid of going to school at first, but now he is very willing to go, in order to avoid his second child.The cowardice of the second child was not the reason why the eldest looked down on him.The eldest knew that, in a sense, all obedient citizens in Beiping were cowards, and the second was not a special case.The second child's temporary unemployment didn't make the eldest brother feel very sad; the big family is an organization in which I eat you today and you eat me tomorrow, and he doesn't think the second child eats for nothing.However, he hated the second child's unrepentant and still so boring.The boss thinks that after this setback, the second child should understand: people like Dongyang are real traitors, and they shouldn't get close to him long ago;The second child should care a little bit about state affairs. Even if he has no determination to sacrifice his life to save the country, he should feel a little bit of honor for the country and the people, humiliation for the country and humiliation for the people, and know a little shame.The second child showed no remorse.Because his grandfather, parents, brother and sister-in-law didn't have the nerve to scold him, he felt rather at ease, as if being unemployed was a new kind of pastime, and he enjoyed everyone's sympathy.If even the fat lady hadn't reprimanded him, he might have grown a beard and retired like his grandfather!What Ruixuan dislikes most is seeing some children wearing melon caps and little mandarin jackets during the New Year.He called them "fig seedlings."Ruifeng is, in his opinion, the best representative of this kind of seedlings when they grow up—they are old-fashioned when they are born, and they will never bloom. In order to avoid his second child, he went to school on the day of celebrating the fall of Taiyuan.He didn't decide to go to the parade, and he didn't decide not to go; he just wanted to see the school.When he arrived at school, he naturally hoped that the students would ask him about the war and the future of the war with China and Japan.He also hopes that everyone will feel the shame of the parade with sad eyes. However, no one came to ask him anything.He is very disappointed.After a while, it dawned on him that humans are competitive animals, and no one likes to talk about their losses; especially young people, I'm afraid.Several of his favorite teenagers wanted to come over and talk to him when they met, but they all seemed to have a ghost in their hearts, so they gave him a glance, then bowed their heads and avoided.This little action of theirs shows the mentality of the young people to strive for strength even when they are helpless.He went to the playground.A few students were kicking a broken ball there.Seeing him, they all suddenly froze, as if feeling ashamed that they had done something they shouldn't have done.But then they kicked the ball again, teasing him only out of the corners of their eyes.He hurried away. He didn't go back to the teachers' lounge, but kept walking out of the school gate, feeling very uncomfortable.He knew that the students had not forgotten their shame, but if they were forced to be humiliated in the most public places like this one after another, they would definitely paint their faces.Thinking of this, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart. On the street, he met more than a dozen large trucks, full of beggars—all wearing colorful clothes rented from the Xijiao shop.In each car, there is also a mourning drummer.The car drove slowly, the gongs and drums were beating listlessly, and the beggars on the car all shrank their necks and put the paper flags in their collars on their collars so that they could hold their hands—it was quite cold.There was almost no expression on their faces, they just shrunk their necks and put their hands in their hands, standing or sitting in the car.They seem to know everything, and they seem to know nothing.It seems that they are used to helplessness, indifference and insult, so they live completely absent-mindedly, standing on the car or on the guillotine indifferently. When the car passed by in front of his eyes, a man like Lan Dongyang put the loudspeaker in his hand to his mouth and shouted: "Grandchildren, follow me! China-Japan friendship! Celebrate the fall of Taiyuan!" The Hanakos still didn't show any expressions, their voices were neither high nor low, and they were lazy, and they didn't even raise their heads as they shouted.They seem to have been exiled many times, and they will never waste any feelings for the exile.Their lack of emotion almost gave them some dignity, like the clay ghosts in the Temple of the City God.This dignity even indifferent to war and rise and fall.Rui Xuan trembled all over.A group of elementary school students came from a distance.He closed his eyes.He couldn't bear to think about beggars and elementary school students together!If those lively, pure, and innocent students are like beggars...he dare not think about it!However, the student team is not far from the beggar's truck! In a daze, he didn't know how to walk back to the sheep pen.At the entrance of the alley, he met Master Liu, a shed builder.It was Master Liu who greeted him first, and he was taken aback.After concentrating for a while, he realized that it was Master Liu, and he also understood the alley. The two entered the small alley where there were never many pedestrians, and only then did Master Liu speak: "Mr. Qi, what do you think? Are we going to finish? Baoding and Taiyuan are all lost! Taiyuan is so fast? Isn't there—" He couldn't say "natural danger". "Who knew!" Ruixuan said with a smile, his eyes were wet. "How is Nanjing?" Ruixuan couldn't, wouldn't, and didn't dare to say "who knows!" "I hope Nanjing will win the battle!" "Hmph!" Master Liu lowered his voice and said earnestly, "You may be laughing at me. I burned a stick of incense to the southeast last night! Pray for Shanghai to win the battle!" "It must be won!" "But, look, Shanghai hasn't won yet. Why do people seem to be sure that the country will die?" "Who?" "Who? You see, the last time Baoding was lost, someone asked me to play with lions. I didn't go; neither did anyone else. Yesterday, someone came to make an appointment, but I still didn't go. It is said that others agreed. The person who invited me said: "Other people go, if you don't go, you should be careful! I said, I'll wait for you to kill me! I just thought, why are people so skinny and boneless?" Ruixuan didn't say anything more. "Today's parade, there are at least a few meetings!" Master Liu said the word "meeting" very emphatically. "Hmph! I'm going to worship the gods in Chaoshan, and today I'll show it to the Japanese for fun! I'm so boneless!" "Master Liu!" Ruixuan had already walked under the locust tree outside the house, stopped and said, "Why don't you leave with a martial arts master like you?" Master Liu smiled strangely. "I wanted to leave a long time ago! But, who will I give my wife to? Besides, where are we going? How can we go if we don't have a lot of money in our pockets? If Nanjing secretly sends people to recruit soldiers, and there are travel expenses, I know where I will go. I will definitely follow! I only know how to build a tent, my fists and feet are just two knives, but I am willing to touch the little Japanese devils!" They were talking about this, Ruifeng ran out from the courtyard, Xiao Shun'er chased after him and shouted: "I'm going too! Second Uncle! I'm going too!" Seeing his brother and Master Liu, Ruifeng stopped his feet.Xiao Shun'er caught up and grabbed the second uncle's clothes: "Take me! Don't take me, no!" "What are you doing? Xiao Shun'er! Let go of Second Uncle's clothes!" Ruixuan said with a calm face, not angry. "Second Uncle, go to the theater, don't take me with you!" Xiao Shun'er still refused to let go of Second Uncle's clothes, pouted and said. Ruifeng smiled. "Where is it? I heard that the opera in Zhongshan Park is full of famous actors and actresses. I'll ask Xiaowen. If they want to participate, I'll go with them. I haven't seen Mrs. Xiaowen sing before." Master Liu glanced at the two brothers and said nothing. Rui Xuan was very sad.It is inconvenient for him to reprimand his younger brother in front of others, and he must know that if he criticizes his second son, his second son will definitely say: "If I don't go to see it, they will still sing the opera! If I don't go to the theater, Peking will not just return it to you." Chinese!" He was stuck under the locust tree. A half-dried locust bean, like a black bug, fell from the tree.Xiao Shun'er hurried to pick it up.This move of his broke the deadlock, and Master Liu said "see you later!" and walked away.Ruixuan grabbed Xiao Shun'er.Ruifeng followed Master Liu into No. 6. Xiao Shun'er refused to give up watching the opera while holding the beans, Ruixuan said patiently: "Second Uncle is going to find out whether to sing or not! No. 6 is not going to sing now!" Reluctantly, Xiao Shun'er followed her father into the street gate.When he got to the courtyard, he took his father to the grandmother's house. It was very cold in the south room, the old lady was in good spirits today, and was mending Xiao Shun'er's socks on the kang wrapped around the quilt.After doing a few stitches, she had to put down the little torn socks and stretch her hands under the quilt to keep warm. Ruixuan's face was already very sad, but when he saw that the mother's room hadn't been lit yet, it became even uglier. The old lady saw that her son's face and expression were not right.A mother's heart is the thermometer of her children's affection. "What's wrong? Boss!" Although Ruixuan is a very emotional person, he doesn't like Chinese people who are prone to tears.Since the fall of Peking, he paid special attention to controlling himself, although he wanted to cry bitterly many times.He doesn't like watching old dramas much.One of the many reasons is that in old dramas, jokes are suddenly made when sad, and the sad itself makes people sad because they cry too hard and too easily.However, he had seen "Ningwuguan" once; he was greatly moved.He felt that for a heroic warrior to leave his mother before he died for his country, it was the most tragic in the world, and only the greatest sense of responsibility could overcome the pain of farewell between mother and child, so that he would not be heartbroken immediately!If Ningwuguan was not a different mother but a different father, Ruixuan thought, it would not be the saddest tragedy.This play made him cry at that time, and every time he thought of it, he was still very sad-when he thought of this play, he couldn't help thinking of his mother! Now, when his mother called him, he suddenly remembered that play again.His tears are about to fall.He knew that he was not Zhou Yuji, but it was Taiyuan that fell now—the situation was as critical as the end of Ming Dynasty! He held back his tears, but he couldn't say anything. "Boss!" Mother took out three or five chestnuts from under the kang mat, gave them to Xiao Shun'er, and told him to go out to play. "What's the matter with the second child?" Ruixuan reported to his mother truthfully, and then said: "He shouldn't associate with such a person at all, let alone tell such a person the secrets of the family! Lan Dongyang is a boring person, and the second child is also a boring person; But Lan Dongyang is boring and ambitious, and the second is boring and heartless; so the second suffers. If the second is not so boring, not so heartless, Lan Dongyang would not dare to bully him. If the second is not It's so boring, he doesn't have to be afraid of Dongyang and dare not go to school anymore. He is kind and timid, so he lost his job for no reason!" "But, is the second child safe if he hides at home? A person surnamed Lan hasn't forgotten about it, can't he still report it?" "Then—" Ruixuan was stunned.He pays too much attention to the boredom of the second child, and always thinks that the second child's fear of going to school is due to the devil in the daytime.He ignored that Lan Dongyang could seriously sell friends for glory. "Then—the second child will not escape, I asked him!" "If the guy surnamed Lan really wants to report it, you and the second child will probably have to be arrested by the Japanese, right? Mr. Qian suffered so much, isn't it because someone reported it to him?" Ruixuan opened the drum in his heart.He sees danger.However, to reassure his mother, he smiled and said, "I don't think it's important!" He couldn't tell the truth about "it doesn't matter". After leaving his mother, Ruixuan began to worry.He is the kind of person who is good at checking his own mental state, and he wonders why he only sees the boredom of the second child and forgets that things may become serious-the second child and him are really going to be arrested, the family But what to do?In times of crisis, he sees clearly that boredom can kill him!Across the courtyard wall, he called the second child.The second child walked back unhappy.On weekdays, if it weren't for his grandfather, parents and wife who are strict in control, the second child can grow up in Wen's house all day long; he doesn't have any ambitions, he just wants to join in the fun there, and he thinks it would be nice to see Mrs. Xiaowen a few more times. Comfortable.He didn't dare to go there often because of everyone's eyesight; however, when he went there occasionally, he would have to sit a lot—like other boring people, his buttocks were heavy, always annoying, and unconscious. "What are you doing?" The second child asked very unhappy. The boss didn't care about his younger brother's expression, and began to express his worries: "Second brother! I don't know why I didn't think of this thing I just remembered! Look, I just remembered, if Lan Dongyang really wants to report , the gendarmes really want to arrest you, or me, or both of us, what shall we do?" The second child's face changed color.At the beginning, he was really afraid that Dongyang would inform him; when he endured at home for three to five days without any movement, he felt relieved, thinking that as long as he stayed at home honestly, there would be no danger.Home is his fortress, and his parents and brothers are his guards.His home is a mouse's hole, he hides when there is danger, and runs out when the danger passes; he can only escape, not fight and resist.Now, he was terrified—people who were easily amused were also most likely to be terrified. A jelly bean could make him happy, and a dead mouse could scare him. "Then what do we do?" he asked, licking his lips. "Second brother!" Ruixuan said earnestly: "The war is very unfavorable, and I'm afraid there will be no way out in Beiping for a while! People like Lan Dongyang, when we win in the future, we will definitely punish him—he They are traitors! Unfortunately, we failed. It is good that we can die for our country. We cannot, and we are not allowed to do things for the enemy on our own initiative, like Lan Dongyang and Guan Xiaohe. A citizen should at least understand this truth! You We don’t need to mention the mistakes of the past. Today, I hope you can stand upright, give up all the enjoyment and boredom in Beiping, and escape as soon as possible to do something for the country. At least you can be a free Chinese, not a slave or a traitor! Don’t think I’m going to drive you away! I’m going to let my younger brothers out and take care of my grandfather and parents alone. This responsibility and hardship is not small One day, if I was massacred or starved to death, I would accompany the old people to die together; I have two younger brothers who are fighting against the Japanese outside, so I can die in peace! You should go! Besides, Lan Dongyang is really going to report the matter of the third child , you and I are in immediate danger of arrest; you should go!" The boss's sincerity, sincerity, and urgency moved Ruifeng.People who don't have deep feelings are more likely to be moved; if the second child doesn't care much about the major events of the subjugation of the country, he will really cry when listening to civilized dramas.Now, he was so moved that he was about to shed tears. He suppressed the tears with all his strength, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay! I'll go to the second grandma and discuss it with her!" Rui Xuanming knew that negotiating with the fat lady would not yield good results, because she was more superficial and confused than her husband.But he didn't stop the second child, nor did he tell the second child not to listen to his wife; he would never kill anyone and persecute anyone.The second child hurried out. Although Ruixuan doubted how much his words would be of any use, seeing his second child leave in such a hurry, he couldn't help but feel a little happier in his heart.
