Chapter 31 30

Human flesh is not prepared for the whip.Nobody likes being beaten.However, strong people know the pain and are not afraid of beatings, so they can grit their teeth for justice under the whip.The exact opposite of this kind of people is: people who have not seen the whip and thought of their buttocks, they will kneel down and beg for mercy when they see the person holding the whip.Lan Dongyang is such a person. When he quarreled with Ruifeng, he never thought that Ruifeng would actually beat him.He is most afraid of fighting.Because he is afraid of fighting, his "criticism" is always furtively cursing the people he envies, instead of daring to scold openly.Because he was afraid of fighting, he thought that the government's resistance to Japan was unwise, and he himself was the smartest - he knelt down to the Japanese from afar!

Because his body was weak, Ruifeng's punch suffocated him.After a while, he woke up.After taking a sip of water, he ran out, lest Ruifeng would hit him again. Having lived in Peking for quite a long time, he knew that the people of Peking did not fight.However, Ruifeng dared to do it! "Hmm! There must be something about this guy!" he deduced, sitting in a small teahouse.He wanted to go back to school and apologize to those who had a history and dared to beat him.No, can't apologize!As soon as he apologized, he lost his previous prestige in school, and everyone saw through his unreasonableness because he owed a beating.He wanted to understand: one must teach the Japanese that they are afraid of being beaten, but one must never teach the Chinese to know.He must be terrified of the Japanese and show his power to the Chinese.

However, Ruifeng did not dare to come again!This made him wantonly broadcast scandals to Ruifeng in the school.He said that Ruifeng cheated him of his money and was beaten by him, making him ashamed to work again.Everyone had no choice but to believe his words, because Ruifeng didn't dare to show his face, and even if Dongyang was bragging, there was no proof.His face, in the past two days, has been pulled very hard.He is proud.In addition to writing dozens of paragraphs, each with one to twenty characters or three to four characters, which he called prose poetry, he also wanted to write a novel for the Japanese to read.I haven't figured out the content yet, but I have come up with a very beautiful title - the resurrection of the five-color flag.He felt full of energy, and when he saw a wild dog on the street, he would show his face in protest; when he saw a kitten, he even added a "poof!"

Since Ruifeng fled in fear of crime, Dongyang should deal with him seriously.Dongyang wants to inform.However, he found out that there is no bounty for whistleblowers.Doesn't count!On the contrary, it might be more appropriate to ask Ruifeng for two dollars.However, what if Ruifeng became anxious and moved?Not right either! He wanted to discuss with Guan Xiaohe.He couldn't help but admire Guan Xiaohe; Guan Xiaohe knew too much.One day, he thought, he must have a closer relationship with the Japanese, and he will need more knowledge, as much knowledge as Guan Xiaohe, so that he can win the favor of the Japanese while eating, drinking and having fun.Even if he can't achieve this step, he should still have more contact with Mr. Guan for writing articles; if he can tell such a set of experiences and truths about drinking and smoking like Mr. Guan, then he can do it a little bit. Doesn't it feel difficult and the articles flow out like water?

On the other hand, the women of the Guan family are also a kind of seductive force, and he hopes to get some kind of harvest from frequent chatting. He went to Guan's house again.The big red bag refunded him forty yuan, which made him surprised, excited, and grateful.He couldn't help but express a little gratitude, so he went out and bought half a catty of peanuts for the recruits. He dared not play any more.Those who are willing to be slaves will not be unrestrained; those who dare to spend a lot of money will not be willing to beg for a piece of Showa candy from the enemy.He wanted to discuss with Xiaohe how to report to the Qi family.However, after sitting for a long time, he never dared to bring up that matter.He was afraid that the Guan family would steal his secret!He admired Guan Xiaohe, and became even more jealous of Guan Xiaohe.His jealousy prevents him from cooperating with anyone.It is precisely because of this that there is no distinction between closeness and closeness in his heart!He has no Chinese friends, and he does not regard the Japanese as enemies.

He brought back the secret intact, and wanted to wait for the best opportunity to sell it. He was very satisfied with the parade and assembly celebrating the fall of Taiyuan, because the number of participants was much more than the last celebration of the fall of Baoding, and the program was more lively than last time.However, there was a fly in the ointment, the Japanese were not very satisfied with the old drama performed in Zhongshan Park that day.The repertoire was not well arranged.When he discussed the purpose of the play with his friends, no one had enough knowledge of theater to tell whether "Serial Plan" was a play or not.They all lived in Peiping for a few years, they knew that Peking opera was good but they didn't know how to listen to it, they knew that there was sour bean juice and roast lamb in Peking but they didn't dare to eat and drink, and they claimed to be "experts in Peking".They used pressure to pass on all the tickets for famous actors and actresses, but they didn't know what play to "order".What made them fail the most was the lack of "pink drama".Japanese bosses want to see lewd stuff, and they can't provide it.Many fan dramas have been banned for 20 or 30 years, and they can't even tell the name of the drama, and they don't know which character will be played.

Lan Dongyang thought, if there was Guan Xiaohe among them, they wouldn't be so embarrassed.They know how to cater to, but they don't know what to cater to; Xiaohe knows. He went to see Mr. Guan again.He had no intention of dragging Mr. Guan into the Xinminhui, he was afraid that Mr. Guan would suppress him.He just wanted to talk more with Mr. Guan, and he could increase his knowledge unconsciously from the conversation. There was a circle of children around the gate of Guan's house, and two old beauties were pasting the red happy announcement on the door stack, shouting loudly while pasting it: "The master of your family is promoted! The good news is here!"

The director of the big red bag has announced.In order to please his wife, Guan Xiaohe secretly wrote two happy announcements, instructing Fourth Master Li to find two Huazi to come to the door to announce the happy news.When he graduated from the higher primary school, some people came to post happy announcements and sing happy songs in front of the door.After entering the Republic of China, this rule gradually died in Beiping.Guan Xiaohe decided to revive it today!The beggar begged three times for a reward, and Guan Xiaohe three times, but each time the reward was very little, so that the beggar would beg for more and quarrel in front of the door for a while.When Lan Dongyang arrived, the beggar had already received his fourth reward, and although Mr. Guan already had twenty cents in his hands, he still refused to come out, in order to teach them to shout two more times.He hoped that all the people in the alley would gather around his door.However, he could see that there were only a group of children outside the door, and the biggest one was Cheng Changshun.

His papers are well written.Da Chibao was appointed as the director of the Prostitute Inspection Office, and Mr. Guan was reluctant to post the words "Prostitute" outside the gate.However, he didn't know what a prostitute should be.After pondering for a long time, he saw clearly that the half of the word "prostitute" is the word "branch", and from "branch" he thought of "zhi"; so, with a smile, he began to write: "Your Mansion Crown Lady Rongsheng Zhinu Inspection Office long……" Dongyang looked at it for a long time with his face crooked, but couldn't figure out what Zhinu did.He asked Cheng Changshun unceremoniously: "What does Zhinu do?"

Chang Shun'er was raised by his grandmother, so he has always been very honest.However, seeing this snarky person speak so bluntly, he thought he shouldn't be too honest.Gripping his nose, he replied, "The Cowherd's wife!" Dongyang suddenly realized: "Woah! I'm in charge of female actors! Cowherd and Weaver Girl Tianhe Pei, isn't it a play?" After guessing this way, he regretted not coming earlier to ask about opera singing; at the same time, he made up his mind: If Mr. Guan If he is willing to join the Xinmin Association, he should act on his behalf.The red newspaper just pasted outside the gate of the Guanzhai made him change his previous opinion in this way.Just now, he wanted to get some knowledge from Mr. Guan's conversation, and not pull him into the "meeting"; now, he understands that he should sincerely cooperate with the Guan family, because the Guan family is not just Two people with money but no power—look at that red newspaper, even the wife is the director!He warned himself not to be too jealous this time, didn't he see that officials and officials should always worship brothers and marry?Mr. Guan swung his arms like he was chasing chickens, and shouted: "Go! Go! It's deafening my ears!" Then, he threw the hot twenty cents on the ground: "Never again! Tim! Did you hear that?" After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes away, teaching the Huazi to know that this was the last time to add money.

The Huazi picked up the twenty cents and walked away muttering. Guan Xiaohe saw Lan Dongyang at a glance, and immediately arched his hands. Lan Dongyang has never seen the world, so he doesn't know much about etiquette.His knack for dealing with the world has always been attributable to "rudeness"-people in Peiping have too much courtesy, and when they see someone who is not polite, they will be frightened and give up in everything. Mr. Guan decided not to let Dongyang forget the ceremony.He arched his hands and said first: "Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be!" Dongyang didn't think of "Congratulations! Congratulations!" and only arched his hands.Mr. Guan was satisfied, and said repeatedly: "Please! Please! Please!" As soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard, they heard a sound that made Dongyang and the window paper tremble together.Xiaohe hurriedly said: "My wife is coughing! My wife is the director, so naturally the cough will be more violent!" Da Chibao sat in the middle of the main room, coughing, talking and laughing loudly on the roof tiles, and even the sound of breathing seemed to come from a loudspeaker.Seeing Dongyang coming in, she didn't stand up, but just nodded miserly, and then waved her hand covered with half a catty of white powder to the chair, inviting the guest to sit down.Her grandeur has made her daughter dare not call her mother, and her husband dare not call her wife, but must be called the director.Seeing Dongyang sitting down, she mobilized her voice somehow, she seemed a little lazy to make a sound, but also seemed very authoritative, seemed a little phlegm, and called in such a heavy and vigorous voice: "Come on! Pour tea!" Poor Dongyang , Lan Dongyang, who can only write a few sentences that seem to make no sense, has never seen such a magnificent woman, and he hardly knows what to do!She is no longer the same as she was two days ago, but the "harmony" between her and the director!He didn't know what to say, so he didn't speak.He regretted a little in his heart - when he joined the Xinminhui, why didn't he shake his prestige like this?In a sense, isn't being an official also a means of flaunting one's prestige? Xiaohe rescued Dongyang again.He said to the big red bag: "Report to your wife!" Da Chi Bao seemed angry but not angry, and interjected with a half-smile: "The director's wife! No! It's the director!" Xiaohe smiled, twisted her body, and called sweetly: "Report to the director! Dongyang is here to congratulate you!" Dongyang shook his face, stood up, still couldn't find a word, but just grinned at her, showing two or three big yellow teeth. "Don't dare to be that!" Da Chibao still didn't stand up, as unceremoniously as if the Queen Mother was sitting on the throne to receive congratulations. At this moment, there was a voice in the courtyard, a sharp and boring voice: "Daoxi is here! Daoxi is here!" "Ruifeng!" Xiaohe said in a low voice, slightly surprised. "Please too!" Although Da Chibao looked down on Ruifeng, he couldn't refuse his congratulations; it would be unlucky to refuse congratulations. Xiaohe greeted her at the door: "Work! Work! Don't dare!" Ruifeng was wearing the best robe and mandarin jacket, as if he had come to have a wedding.When he was about to reach the steps of the main room, he stopped and let his wife go in first—this is a foreign rule he learned from movies.The fat lady was also in her best dress, and her face was full of pride, making the fat face look even fatter.She raised her face high, twisted her fat buttocks, and slowly walked up the steps step by step, panting.In her hand, she was carrying a gift basket bought from Daoxiang Village, which was good-looking but not necessarily delicious. The big red bag still didn't want to stand up, but when she saw the colorful gift basket, she felt embarrassed and stopped standing up. In terms of etiquette, Ruifeng is ten times stronger than Dongyang Sheng.He likes to salute others the most, because he is from Peking.He congratulated affectionately, bowed deeply, and then took the gift basket from the fat lady's hand and put it on the table.The basket was cheap and tacky, but placing it on the table added some joy to the room.After saying hi, he greeted Dongyang affectionately: "Brother Dongyang, are you here too? I've been very busy these days, so I didn't go to school! How are you? Are you okay?" Dongyang didn't know this kind of outfield skills, he just moved his face, raised his eyeballs up, and put them down again, without saying anything.He said in his heart: "Sooner or later, I will put you in prison, you don't have to tease me!" At this time, the fat lady was already sitting next to Da Chibao, and she had already told Da Chibao that Ruifeng had won the position of Chief of the General Affairs Section of the Education Bureau.She really didn't congratulate Lai, but avenged Lai - her husband became section chief! "What?" The Guan family couple shouted at the same time.Da Chibao was a little annoyed that her husband's voice was out of sequence with her own, so she said, "Can you let me speak first?" Xiaohe hurriedly took two small steps back, and replied with a smile: "Of course! Director! I'm very sorry!" "What?" Da Chibao stood up and stretched out his big hands wearing two gold hoops: "You come down to congratulate me? Section Chief Qi! I really have you! You can't say a word, so calm! "Speaking, she shook Ruifeng's hand vigorously, causing his fingers to hurt. "Zhang Shun!" She let go of her hand and called the servant: "Bring the brandy from the British government!" Then she said to everyone: "Let's have a glass of wine, congratulations to Chief Qi and his wife!" "No! "Ruifeng can often show a bit of genius in such boring occasions: "No! Let's congratulate the director and the director first!" "Congratulations, everyone!" Xiaohe said softly. Dongyang stood there, his face slowly turning green, he was jealous, he hated!He regretted not doing it a few days earlier and sending Ruifeng to prison!Now, he has no choice but to reconcile with Ruifeng, Ruifeng is already the section chief!He hated Ruifeng, not to annoy the section chief!The wine was brought, and everyone clinked glasses. Ruifeng couldn't hold back his excrement, and began to talk about how he got the post of section chief: "I have to thank my wife! Her second uncle is an ally of the director of the Education Bureau that was just announced. The director would not dare to do it without her second uncle." I took office because my second uncle was both the director of the Education Bureau and a student studying in Japan—speaking Japanese is exactly the same as the Japanese! However, my second uncle didn’t want to work any more. He had some savings and was not in good health. It’s not worth going out to worry about getting tired. The chief begged so hard that he was about to cry, and the second uncle said, "Okay, let me find you a helper. The second uncle thought of me as soon as he thought about it! Coincidentally, my wife is living in my mother’s house." So, he said to the second uncle: Second uncle, Ruifeng will probably not accept a position lower than the deputy director! The second uncle begged her: first condescend to condescend to the nephew and son-in-law! The deputy director is already appointed by the Japanese How can I change it right away? When she saw that her second uncle was ill, she was embarrassed to say anything else, and she agreed to be the chief of the section—but it must be the chief of the general affairs department!" "The deputy director will return soon. It fell into your hands! I wish you a high promotion!" Xiao He raised his glass again. Dongyang wants to say goodbye.The air in the room made him unable to sit still.The big red bag didn't allow him to leave. "Go? It's too hard for you! Isn't it lively today? Why, you must go? Well, I won't keep you. You have to wait until I finish talking!" She stood up, putting one hand on her heart , leaning on the corner of the table with one hand, and said as if acting: "Dongyang, you are in Xinminhui; Ruifeng, you are in the Education Bureau; and I have a small director; Xiaohe, I will be there soon." Get a status, a status that is higher than ours; in this era of changing dynasties, it is considered a good move for us! We have to unite, help each other, and take care of each other, so that we can open up our world smoothly and teach our families Everyone here has something to do, has authority, and has money! Of course the Japanese get the first share, and we, even our aunts, have to get the second share! We must work together to create a force, Teach everyone, even the Japanese, to listen to us and give us the best!" Ruifeng tilted his head and listened attentively, like listening to some sound of chicken.When Da Chibao talked about his pride, his lips moved accordingly. Xiaohe stood upright, listened to a sentence and nodded her head, her eyes were wet somehow, as if there were tears.Dongyang's eyeballs went up and down again and again.He secretly planned in his heart: I want to use you and not be used by you; you don't need to seduce me with sweet words, I will not be fooled anymore! The fat lady curled her lips and smiled, and said in her heart: Although I didn't become the section chief, I got my husband's section chief; I'm as capable as you, and I'm not afraid of you anymore! The big red bag was full of confidence, but perhaps because of the excessive excitement, after saying these words, he was slightly panting.She rubbed her chest with the hand that was on her heart. After she finished speaking, Xiaohe led the applause.Then, he asked Mrs. Qi to speak very softly and sweetly. The fat lady's face turned a little red, and she grabbed the chair with both hands, refusing to stand up.She was very proud of herself, but she couldn't speak. Xiaohe clapped his hands very quickly and lightly: "Please! Mrs. Section Chief! Please!" Ruifeng knew that his wife's eloquence was not very good except for scolding him in the middle of the night.But he didn't dare to speak for his wife, what if his wife was blessed with eloquence today!His eyes fixed on his wife's face, he carefully observed her face, and did not dare to open his mouth presumptuously.Before, he was only as afraid of her as he was of his wife; now, he was afraid of her as if he were afraid of an Almighty God! The fat lady stood up.Xiaohe's palm clapped louder.She, however, was not ready to speak.Smiling, she said to Ruifeng: "Let's go home! Isn't there still a lot to do?" Da Chibao immediately declared: "Yes! Let's hold a celebration party another day, everyone is busy today!" Section Chief Qi and his wife went out, and Director Guan and his wife sent out; when they were almost at the gate, Da Chibao remembered: "I said, Section Chief Qi! If you are willing to move here, our family welcomes you!" The fat lady found it and said: "Where are we, we will move to the second uncle's place immediately. It is close to the Education Bureau, the house is of a good style, and..." She wanted to say: "The grandfather and parents here are all timid. Brain-brained, not qualified to be the elder of the section chief." But after taking a look at Ruifeng, she was too embarrassed to say it; since her husband has become the section chief, she had to save him some face. On the contrary, Dongyang didn't say goodbye, because he was afraid that he would come out with Ruifeng and his wife, so he had to go to Qi's house to congratulate him.He looked down on Ruifeng. When Da Chibao came back from the outside, he asked Xiaohe: "Go to Qi's house! Go, find some gifts!" She knew that there were quite a few gift baskets like the one Ruifeng brought at home, so she found two and dusted them off. Just dust it off—these baskets are in perpetual flow from house to house. "Find two! You have to go to Dongyang too!" Dongyang is not willing to surrender the form to Ruifeng, but the "section chief" has weight after all.For example: He is very willing to take this opportunity to drive the principal away, and he will be in charge of it himself.To realize this plan, it is convenient to have an acquaintance in the Education Bureau.For this, he should give Ruifeng a gift!He also knows that as long as you give a small gift to the people of Peiping, he will almost do something as big as heaven for you.He nodded, willing to go to Qi's house with Guan's couple to congratulate him. Xiaohe found two gifts, one was two bottles of wine that no one would ever drink, and the other was a box of orange peel plums, lotus root starch, and biscuits; both of them had traveled for at least twenty years. Several families have gone home.Xiaohe told the servant to change the red and green threads that bind the presents. "Yes! That's great! Courtesy is more important than character!" Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Tianyou heard that Ruifeng got the section chief, and they seemed to like it so much!To be honest, old man Qi almost never expected his children and grandchildren to become officials; he knew that a big tree attracts wind, and a big official brings trouble, but he hoped that his children and grandchildren would develop too fast - he himself was born in poverty!Tianyou as the shopkeeper and Ruixuan as the teacher, in his opinion, it is already a matter of honor and glory to the ancestors, and it is also a matter of avoiding disasters and causing disasters.He knows that an outbreak of family fortune is far worse than a slow and steady development; an outbreak will hurt one's vitality!Although being an official doesn't have to be an outburst, but "official", in the heart of the old man, there always seems to be something scary! Mrs. Tianyou's heart is almost the same as that of her husband.She never hoped that her sons would be big and famous, but only hoped that they would be strong and well-behaved, and they would do something that was not too big to be valued by others. Ruifeng became the section chief.The old man and Mrs. Tianyou liked it very much.One reason is that they feel that there is an official in the family who can use their courage in this time of rioting with Japanese devils.Secondly, the Qi family has not produced an official for several generations.Now that Ruifeng's appointment as an official has become a fact, it would be unreasonable for the old people not to express their joy at all—a vegetarian can't but feel a little proud when he treats his friends with chicken and fish.What's more, there have been no officials for several generations, and now he suddenly has an official. Old man Qi couldn't help but think that the house—the house he bought alone—does have very good feng shui.If the old man only thinks about the house and is already a little proud, Mrs. Tianyou should be even more proud, because she gave birth to the "official son"!Even if she is not shallow and vain, she should be happy. However, when they heard that the second master had decided to move out, the eyes of the old people turned black.Old man Qi felt that the feng shui of the house only made Ruifeng cheaper, but did not honor himself!Thinking about it again, it is unfilial to leave the old nest immediately after becoming an official and getting the ambition!A house with good feng shui probably shouldn't have bad luck, right?The old man decided to lie down on the kang without getting up, and taught Ruifeng to know "grandfather's indifference"!Mrs. Tianyou was very embarrassed: she was not happy that her second son was so cruel, stomping away as soon as he got an official.However, it's inconvenient for her to stop him; she knows that it's not easy for her son to stay at home all the time, and it's a common practice in this day and age to "marry a daughter-in-law and don't want a mother"!At the same time, she was also worried that if the second child obeyed that fat wife, he would be ruined by her.She thought, she should at least warn her second son a few words.However, she was too lazy to speak - when the son grew up, the mother's mouth lost its authority!She deeply understood that the second child would rather be fooled by his wife than listen to his mother.Finally, she decided not to say anything, but lay down in the room, pretending not to be well. Xiao Shun'er's mother decided to calm down and not to be jealous of her second son being an official.Her heart has always been very generous.She happily congratulated the old people and the second child couple.She was not angry when she heard that the second child was going to move out, because she knew that if she still lived together, Guan'er's second child and Guan'er's second wife would make her feel overwhelmed.It was good for them both to go.After the two of them left, she could take care of the old people with peace of mind.In her view, serving the elderly is her bounden duty.Then, it would be a good idea to give more care to the old people, and reduce the idleness between brothers and sisters! As soon as he heard the news, Ruixuan didn't think about anything else, but only felt a sigh of relief—whatever the second child would do, as long as he could live on his own, and stop being annoying all the time, the old man would be thankful! After staying for a while, he quickly changed his mind.No, he couldn't just teach the second couple to move out without saying a word.He is an older brother, so he should teach his younger brother a lesson.Also, he and the second child are both members of the Qi family, and they are both Chinese nationals, so Qi Ruixuan can't have a younger brother who works for the Japanese!Ruifeng is not just looking for a position, to be safe for a while, but to be a petty official and a traitor!Ruixuan's body suddenly felt hot and itchy; a traitor came out of the Qi family!The third child escaped from Peiping to serve the country, and the second child can serve as an official of the Japanese at home. How can this account be settled?Seriously speaking, there are many lines in Ruixuan's heart that are unclear, black and white.His ideals are often defeated by the facts, and his strength is often softened by the little troubles of life. Therefore, he is often not stubborn, but has nothing to do. alive.Regarding the distinction between loyalty and traitor, and similar major matters, he absolutely forbids any unclear lines in his mind.Loyalty is loyalty, treachery is treachery.This cannot be done sloppily like losing a dime, or missing a copper coin from someone. He was waiting for his second child in the courtyard.The pomegranate trees and oleanders have all been taken to the east house, and the courtyard is obviously a bit empty.The hosta and begonias at the root of the south wall are all withered; some big yellow leaves are hanging weakly, and may be blown away by the wind at any time.In previous years, old man Qi must have covered them with ashes and cinders, and put empty flower pots on top.This year, although the old man often comforted everyone by saying "the matter will pass soon", he himself did not quite believe this, as evidenced by the fact that he no longer cared much about his hosta.There was not even a leaf on the two jujube trees, and a pair of sparrows with their necks squatting on the branches.There are no clouds in the sky, but the sun is obviously dim because it is not warm.On the ridge of the roof two or three dry grass swayed in the breeze.Ruixuan was bored and sad, walking around the courtyard. As soon as he saw Ruifeng and his wife coming in from the outside, he called Ruifeng to his room.He likes to use hints to people, and he will never use them today, he knows that the second child is not a person who can understand hints, and the seriousness of the matter seems to not allow him to make more detours.He asked straight to the point: "Second brother, have you decided to take up the job?" The second child pulled the collar of his mandarin jacket, calmed down, and replied, "Of course! Section chiefs can't just be picked on the street!" "Do you know that this is a traitor?" Ruixuan fixed his eyes on the second child. "Han—" The second child really didn't think about this question, he opened his mouth and didn't speak for more than half a minute.Slowly, he spoke again; soon, he went to search his mind to see if there were any words that could refute the boss.As soon as he thought about it, he thought: "Section chief—traitor! Two nouns that are absolutely not connected together!" Thinking of it, he said it. "That was in the Taiping era!" Ruixuan pointed out to his younger brother. "Now, no matter what we do, we have to think about it, because Beiping is occupied by the Japanese at the moment!" The second child wanted to say, "No matter what, the section chief can't just let go!" But he didn't dare to say it out, he Let's counterattack first: "If you want to say that, big brother, if your father runs a shop selling Japanese goods, you go to teach, aren't you also a traitor?" Ruixuan is very willing to say nothing more, and teach the second child to do what the second child does.However, he felt that he should not be angry.Smiling, he said, "That's probably different, right? As far as I can see, those who cannot escape from Peiping due to family burdens or other reasons, but who do not intentionally work for the Japanese, cannot be considered traitors. Like Peking With such a large population, there is no way to escape all at once. If you can’t escape, you have to earn money to eat. This is a no-brainer. However, if you have a plan to earn money for food, if you are willing to kowtow to the Japanese, Lan Dongyang, Guan Xiaohe, and you, it is not so easy to say that you are not a traitor. You could have escaped, and you should have escaped. But you refused. You refused to escape, and you still behaved honestly Since you are only guilty of walking away, you cannot be regarded as a traitor. Now, you are happy to be able to work under the director general sent by the Japanese, and to do administrative work, you have already surrendered to the Japanese; today You are willing to be the chief of the section, and you probably won’t refuse to be the chief of the bureau tomorrow; your heart determines your loyalty, and you don’t necessarily care about the size of the official position. Second child! Listen to me, take your younger siblings and escape, and be an innocent I can't help it, I can't bear to leave my grandfather and parents here, and go away; but I will never beg for food from the Japanese. If I can teach, I will continue to teach; if I can't teach, I tried to find another job; there was no other way, I would be willing to teach me to sell peanuts; I just can't work for the Japanese! I think if the Japanese send me to be a principal today, I should take care of myself Called a traitor, not to mention I went to campaign for that status myself!" After saying this passage, Ruixuan felt as happy as spitting out a fishbone stuck in his throat.He not only advised the second child, but also found a helpless situation for himself, which seemed to be a compromise but not a compromise.This passage is quite difficult to say, because what he wants to divide is so subtle and elusive.Yet he speaks it himself; he is pleased--not with the skill of his speech, but with the sincerity of what he says; Emphasizing "truth" gave him two lights, which illuminated his mind and prevented his words from being confused or blurred. Ruifeng was stunned, he never expected that his elder brother would make such a big deal.When he thought: When he was looking for something, he found something, and it was something that was enough to make Lan Dongyang a little scared. Is there anything simpler and more gratifying than this in the world?No!Then, he should be joyful and celebrate his good luck and future; how could he talk about traitors?He was quite confused, not sure what the elder brother meant.He decided not to ask any more.He can only guess: Ruixuan's knowledge is better than his, and he must be a little jealous because he didn't become an official.Just be jealous, whoever teaches the second child is lucky!He stood up, straightened his mandarin jacket, seemed to laugh, but also seemed to talk, but neither smiled nor spoke, and made a conversation, but not without pride, and walked out.He didn't understand his brother's words very well, and he couldn't find any way to reduce his brother's jealousy, so he had no choice but to go out and show with his hands that his brother had his brother's thoughts, and the younger brother had his own way, so no one should interfere! He was just about to enter his room when Mr. Guan, Da Chibao and Lan Dongyang came together.The two bouquets of presents were held by a manservant, who followed behind them respectfully.The big red bag's momentum was so great that the sparrows on the jujube tree were scared away by the first laugh.The second sound scared Xiao Shun'er and Niuzi to hide in the kitchen: "Mom! Mom!" Xiao Shun'er opened his eyes wide and called eagerly: "Then, the big lady from that courtyard is here! "Yes, Da Chi Bao's robe is maroon.The third sound, both old man Qi and Mrs. Tianyou were driven to sleep on the kang, and they both groaned that they were not seeing guests. Old man Qi, Mrs. Tianyou, and Ruixuan and his wife didn't come out to entertain guests.Xiao Shun'er's mother wanted to come over to get some tea, but Rui Xuan glared at the glass window, and she walked back to the kitchen gently.
