Chapter 88 87

When the Japanese men and women in the sheep pen were jumping and cheering around the big locust tree, a little life came to refill Cheng Changshun's cigarettes.He, that little new life, seemed to know that he was a subjugated slave, and started crying as soon as he was born. Cheng Changshun seemed to be drunk, he didn't know the east, west, north, south.In a trance, he seemed to have heard the news that Pearl Harbor was bombed, and in a trance, he seemed to see the Japanese drunks on the street.However, it was just a trance, and it didn't give him any clear impression.He was busy getting midwives, buying papyrus and other little necessities that could be bought.Coming out and going in, coming out and going in, he felt himself, like the Japanese, a little crazy.

He was very willing to understand what Pearl Harbor was and its relationship to the war situation, but he was even more worried about his wife.At this time, he felt that his wife was more important than anyone else in the world, and that having a child was more valuable than anything in the world; it seemed that a world war was worth less than having a baby. Widow Ma also lost her usual composure, not for Pearl Harbor, but for the safety of her grandson-in-law and great-grandson.She forgot all the suffering she had suffered under the Japanese for several years, and began to feel her true value and importance.It was she who raised Changshun; it was her who married Changshun; it was her who would become a great-grandmother.Her status will be as high as Old Man Qi's, and she has a great-grandson!

She is happy, but worried; she wants to be calm, but flustered;Her white hair was loose, and Huang Jingzi's face turned red.She doesn't care about Pearl Harbor or Pearl Harbor, but only cares that she will have a great-grandson; the baby's smile will teach China and the whole world to be happy and auspicious. When the people in the sheep pen heard the auspicious news, they immediately put aside the war and focused on the Cheng family's affairs.At least, the baby who is about to be born has been balanced with the wars all over the world; the war has its own way, and a baby is still a baby after all; giving birth to a baby forever, forever, is not a bad thing!They were all waiting for the baby's cry, so that they could congratulate Mrs. Ma and Cheng Changshun.Yes, they had to wait for the congratulations; they thought it was brave to have a baby at this time, and they had to admire Cheng Changshun and Mrs. Cheng.

Mrs. Li was in a hurry, enthusiastically, and several times bigger than Mrs. Ma.She is good at everything in the delivery room, and she has to be a pioneer.Giving birth to a baby is to add more "little babies" to her. Her enthusiasm and concern should be no less than that of the mother herself, if not a little more.In the midst of her busy schedule, she seemed to hear the sound of Pearl Harbor.She squeezed her short-sighted eyes and told everyone: "Okay, kill people, we will have babies!" Mrs. Xiao Cheng didn't know anything, she didn't know about Pearl Harbor, she didn't know what the world would become in the blood and tears.She didn't even think about Xiao Cui and the Japanese who killed Xiao Cui.She only knows the pain in her body, and the most practical hope when the pain stops for a while-to give birth to a baby.She forgot everything, and only remembered the root of all human beings, giving birth!

The doll was born, and it was a boy.The sound of gunfire all over the world did not suppress his crying.This aggrieved, sharp, fragile and great cry made the people in the small sheepfold feel excited, as if they all saw some light and hope in the darkness. It wasn't until they vented their joy in words and congratulations that they realized that they couldn't offer anything to make the gesture of congratulations more specific, such as giving some eggs, brown sugar, and millet to the mother.The child was born by Mrs. Xiao Cheng, and the eggs, sugar, and millet are all in the hands of the Japanese.

From this, they naturally thought: giving birth to a baby in this year is not a happy event, but a small burden of eating republican noodles.This little thing may not grow into a healthy child, because it is born to eat milk that has been transformed from Gonghe noodles, if Gonghe noodles can also be turned into milk.In this way, by birth, they immediately see the premature death.Life and death are so close together that the two extremes of life can be seen in a baby.They couldn't be happier anymore. The day after the child was born, Britain and the United States declared war on Japan.Cheng Changshun originally wanted to name the wrinkled doll, but he couldn't settle down.Glancing at the doll, he felt he had a status.However, when he thought of the world war, he felt that he was worthless—in such a big war, he didn't do his best.He just changed from a worthless person to a worthless father.Look, that red one with no eyebrows, that little wrinkled face!That was his son, wrapped in rags—all the rags he bought from everywhere.His son can't even put on a new cloth!He didn't dare to look at that shabby little thing again.

In the three days of the child, China declared war on Germany, Italy and Japan.Cheng Changshun, exhausting all his knowledge and thinking, does not understand why China has not declared war on Japan until today.However, whether he understood it or not, he felt that declaring war was right.After the declaration of war, he thought, everything was black and white, and it was no longer so gray and bright.Moreover, he also thought that if China declared war on Japan today, it must be because China has the certainty of victory.Ha, blessed shall be his son.Think about it, if China can win the war for another year or so, wouldn't his son have become a man of peace since he was a child?Son, hum, it's not so ugly with scars.Look closely, children also have eyebrows!Yes, the doll's name should be "Kay."He couldn't help calling out: "Kay! Kai!" The doll actually opened his eyes!

However, Kay's three days were not smooth sailing.The neighbors all wanted to come over to congratulate, but no one could come up with gifts, so it was inconvenient to come here empty-handed.Madam Ma wanted to prepare some wedding wine to entertain the guests.However, even if she had ready money, she couldn't buy anything.War does not forgive anyone easily, so Xiao Kai's three days had to pass silently. Only Fourth Mama Li got five eggs from somewhere, wrapped them in a surprisingly dirty towel, and delivered them herself.Handing over the five eggs, she brought out all the dirty vocabulary accumulated over the years, scolding herself, "that old thing", and the Japanese, because she has never given five eggs to others in her entire life congratulate. "Five eggs, it's a shame!" She slapped her thigh and declared loudly.

However, Mrs. Ma was so moved that she almost shed tears.Five eggs, where can I find them in this day and age! The old man of the Qi family had already heard the good news from the Cheng family, and couldn't help but sigh anxiously.He is the old man in this alley, he must go to Cheng's house to congratulate him, firstly to show the friendship of the neighbors, and secondly to listen to people say: "The little baby will live a long life if he is honored by your old man!" But , he can't go, there is no present. Mrs. Tianyou, hearing the old man's sigh, hurriedly searched everywhere for something that could be used as a gift.From the bottom of the duster, she found a big copper coin of "Daoguang".After polishing the big copper coins, she found a few more red threads, tied them to them, and handed them to Niuniu, who taught Niuniu to say to the old man, "Can you send this to the Cheng family?"

The old man nodded.With his great-grandson and great-granddaughter, he went to Cheng's house to prove that he was an old man. After Elder Qi took the children away, Ruixuan stood outside the street gate for a while.Just as he was about to turn around and go back, a monk came over gently and said "Amitabha Buddha".Rui Xuan stood firm.Seeing that there was no one left or right, the monk took out a small piece of paper from his fat cuff and handed it to Ruixuan; then he made another inquiry, turned and walked away. Ruixuan hurried into the courtyard, turned around the screen wall before he dared to look at the note in his hand.At a glance, he could see that the words on the note were in the handwriting of the third child, Ruiquan.His heart was beating so fast, he read it three times before he understood the words: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, meet at the back gate of Zhongshan Park, please!"

Holding the note, he ran into the house and lay down on the bed.He seemed unable to stand any longer.Lying on the bed, the first thought that came to his mind was: "I told the third child to escape!" This made him proud and proud. He thought: The third child must have done earth-shattering things outside, so he was sent to Peiping to do the most dangerous work.Ha, he taught the third child to escape, and the success of the third child should be indirectly his own success!Well, no matter how you say it, it is enough to have such a younger brother, and it is enough to atone for the sin of the eldest and the second.After a while, he was not so happy.If the third child asked him: "Where is the father? Where is the second child?" How would he answer?The third child escaped to serve the country, and he stayed at home to fulfill his filial piety.But where is his filial piety?He neither saved his father's life nor avenged his father!He was sweating, he was ashamed to see the third child! No, the third child might not be too harsh on him.The third child is a sensible person, and has been practicing outside for so many years.Yes, the third child will definitely forgive the eldest brother.Ruixuan smiled bitterly. He wanted to tell Yunmei: "You're right, the third child has indeed returned!" He also wanted to tell his mother, grandfather, and neighbors: "Our hero of the Qi family is back!" But he didn't move.He must keep a secret for his hero.This makes him sad, but also makes him happy—ha, only he knows that the third child is back, and he is the brother of the hero! He wondered if his broken watch had stopped.Why is it only eleven o'clock?He opened the door and looked at the shadow of the sun; the watch did not stop, and the shadow told him that it was not yet noon. He didn't know how to swallow a little lunch, and walked out of the street door in a daze.After walking for a long time, he realized that it was too early.Although he understood, he still walked quickly.He seems to have lost control of his feet.Yes, he is going to see his brother, the hero of China. Hmph, the third child must be like a god in golden helmet and armor, so majestic and majestic! The weather is quite cold, but there is no wind, and it is dry and pleasant.The poor Beiping took advantage of the sunshine, at least in Ruixuan's heart, showing a poor and proud look. From a distance, he saw the red wall of the Forbidden City, and the yellow-tiled turrets with seventy-two ridges.He stopped and looked at his watch, it was only one o'clock.He decided to go to the park first, in case Rui Quanquan came earlier. There are no tourists in the park.There are no teahouses along the Yuhe River, and there are many fragrant pine flowers on the ground.He goes south.Several young men and women were skating on the small skating rink.He dared not look at them.Regardless of whether they are traitors or other people's children, they are the opposite of the third child anyway: they don't know how to fight against the enemy, but stay here and enjoy themselves.He didn't bother to look at them. He found a bench by the pine tree and sat down.The sun was shining on his head, making him slightly tired.He stood up hastily, he must not fall asleep due to sleepiness, so as to delay the time to meet the third child. Finally, it was two o'clock, and he walked towards the back gate of the park.Before he got there, a young man walked up to him, wearing an outrageous long cotton robe.He didn't expect it to be the third child. The youngest rushed over to the elder brother. "Ha, we met unexpectedly! Brother Rui!" The voice of the third child was so loud that it seemed that everyone in the park could hear it. Only then did Ruixuan understand the third child.Tears were about to come out of his eyes.But Ruiquan didn't give the elder brother a chance to cry.Holding the elder brother's arm with one hand, he said loudly: "Come on, let's go for another walk! My brother and I have not seen each other, how about my sister-in-law?" Ruixuan knew that the third child was just playing, and he also knew that the third child had to act. However, he almost hated the third child for being able to control his emotions so much to make plays. Ruixuan is willing to take a closer look at the third child, to see the third child's heart from the third child's face.However, the third child dragged him forward. Ruixuan tried to find the third child's face, but the third child's face was deliberately turned to the side.Now, Jiao Ruixuan understood: the third brother deliberately avoided his face, because if the brothers faced each other face to face, even the third child might cry.He doesn't hate the third child anymore.The third child is not only courageous, but also knows how to be careful.Really, the third child is not like a god in golden helmet and armor; but the third child's time was not wasted in vain, and the third child has learned his skills.The third child is no longer a part of the four generations of the Qi family, but a new Chinese who is alone.Look at the third child's outrageous padded gown! "Let's sit down for a while?" Ruixuan finally remembered such a sentence.The brothers sat under an old cypress tree. Ruixuan wanted to pour out all the depression of the past four years at once.The third child is his younger brother and the closest friend.His grievances and shame can only be confessed to the third child; moreover, he also knows that only the third child can get forgiveness and comfort. However, he was speechless.The third child beside him, he felt, was no longer his younger brother, but a power that symbolized something.That power does not seem to belong to Ruixuan's era, the country's.That power, like the light, which shines today, may teach light somewhere tomorrow, or next year, or the next century.He can't express his grievances to such a force, a kind of light, just like fireflies dare not fly in the sun.In this way, he felt that the third child suddenly became a person he did not know.He really wanted to take a closer look at his younger brother, but now he actually lowered his head; the one who was so close to the light source felt the light was terrifying. The third child said: "Brother, what are you going to do?" "Huh?" Rui Xuan didn't seem to understand. "I said, what do you do? You're out of a job, aren't you?" "Ah! Yes!" Ruixuan nodded repeatedly.In his heart, he thought it was fine if the third child didn't speak up, and if he did, he would ask his grandfather and his family first.However, he didn't expect that the third child would open his mouth and ask him about his unemployment.Heck, he must not annoy the third child because of this, the third child is from another world, so he said "ah" again. "Brother!" Ruiquan lowered his voice: "I can't sit here for a long time! Tell me quickly, can you teach?" "Where are you going to teach?" Ruixuan thought that the third child was teaching him to teach outside of Beiping.He is willing to go.Once he left Peiping, he thought, he would be a little closer to the third child's world. "it's here!" "Here?" Ruixuan recalled a few words: "In the past four years, how much I have suffered, completely because I can't eat Zhou Su! Positive, I didn't do anything; negative, I maintained my personality My innocence! Up to now, when I go to teach, teaching in Beiping, no matter how good my reasons are and how innocent my heart is, no one will forgive me, and I will never be able to cleanse myself. The day of victory will come, Old friends come back from outside, what face do I have to see them again? Me, I became a black man!" Ruixuan spoke very fluently.He didn't expect that when he saw the third child, he would argue like this, bluntly, like this.At the same time, he felt that he should be so blunt, not only because the third child was his younger brother, but also because the third child was a different kind of person, and he had to speak up to the third child.He felt happy. "Teach me to teach, unless..." "Unless what?" "Unless you give me a proof that my job is a job, not a surrender!" The third child was stunned for a while before saying: "I have no right to certify documents to anyone, brother!" Without waiting for the elder brother to reply, he hastened to say: "I have to tell you, brother: Be a teacher, be the teacher I want, But if you cooperate with me, there is danger! There are students and teachers who are arrested every day in any school. Therefore, I need teachers who know the risk and dare to cheer up the students. The Japanese want to smash the youth with terror patriotism, we have to try to break the terror of the Japanese. It's true, brother, you should take care of your innocence; but if you arrive at the school and you are arrested for your words and actions, no one will know Is it? In war, there are nameless traitors (such as corrupt officials and profiteers), and there are also nameless heroes. You said that you are afraid of being a teacher for no reason, and you will have no face in the future; but you are also afraid of people not knowing To be an unsung hero? I see, big brother, I understand you, you understand you, that's enough, you don't need to think about anything else." Ruixuan didn't dare to say anything. "Also, brother, since the war in the Pacific has begun, I may have to go to the countryside more to find out military news. The propaganda work I am in charge of is best left to Uncle Qian. I can't entrust you with that responsibility, because it is too Dangerous; but you can at least help Uncle Qian and write some articles for him. If you go to the school and get close to the young people, you can naturally get writing materials. What do you think? Brother!" Ruixuan's mind was like The curtain opened on the stage, with lights, bright scenery, and actors.He is one of the actors himself.He found his place in the war. Ah, the third child didn't mean to look down on him.The third child taught him to take risks, protect students, and write articles!Well, since the third child asked him to do this, he became one with the third child; if the third child was a hero, he would be at least half, or a quarter of a hero! The third child never mentioned the problems at home; the third child was right!If you want to take care of your family, you can't take care of your country.Yes, he no longer needs to ask: "If I go to danger and I am arrested, what will happen at home?" No need to ask, no need to ask.That question may only embarrass the third child and make him appear cowardly.The third child is another kind of person who only cares about the big things and doesn't care about small programs.He, Ruixuan, should learn from the third child.Besides, if I don't take risks, won't the whole family starve to death?His heart lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Third brother, I'll just listen to you! Do whatever you say!" After finishing speaking, he looked at the third child.He thought that the third child would be excited and would praise him.However, the third child didn't express anything, but stood up in a hurry: "Okay, listen to my letter! I dare not sit here for long, I have to go! I'm going out the front door, don't follow me! Goodbye, big brother !" The youngest walked towards the front of the park. Ruixuan was still sitting there, looking at the back of the third child, he felt empty in his heart; hum, the third child did not express anything! After a while, he smiled miserably and stood up. "The third child has changed, he has become bigger! Humph, Ruixuan, you are not a child, and you still need a few nice words from the third child to encourage you? The third child is a real killer, and he has no time to take care of it." Those mother-in-law's little holidays!" He cast another glance at the front gate of the park.The third child is gone. "That's it!" he told himself: "Maybe I will be as useful as the third child!"
