Frightened, I met a brigade of officers and soldiers outside Zhuji County, and at the Chencaisu nightclub, the chief of the Baojia brought a lantern to check the merchants. The national identity card issued during the Japanese occupation is now being used, but I do not have it.so non-one, always Be careful.Chen Cai used to be Si's house, and the day he arrived was September 30th in the Gregorian calendar. My nephew saw that I was staying at Si's house for a rest. Only then did he return to Shanghai. Si House is located at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. The road in front of the village leads to Xixiang, Shengxian County. There are about 300 residents, and it is Haoxi Mountain.Republic of China

Since then, most of the Si family have gone out to serve as officials, and they are willing to work hard on the mountain farms and fields, so the houses in the village are neat and tidy, A section of the road is lined with shops, like a small town.In the ancestral hall at Qiaotou, there are four large ocher red characters on the wall, "Eliminate traitors" , the other side is "Suppressing Communist Bandits", marked with "killing" and "falling", made by the political department of the passing army, it is still new .But there is also the big slogan "The Anti-Japanese War must be won", which has been slightly worn away by the years.

At the turn of the ancestral hall, there is a foreign-style house in Linxi, which is the Si family. When the master was in Hangzhou as the director of ordnance The construction cost 20,000 silver dollars before and after, but instead of cement and steel frames, it only used wood selected from the mountain, with a style of whitewashed walls and black tiles. , the animal ring gate, but the windows are glass windows, the room is bright and bright, there are arcade railings, the stone courtyard is removed, and it is built Tall, like a newly built unfinished house.This house is like the world of the Republic of China, and it is suitable for the stream.I just came

When I asked, I asked. Aunt Si cleaned up the guest room for me to live in, and only said to the neighbors that it was Mr. Zhang.Eighteen years ago I lived in Hangzhou Her family in Jingang Temple Lane is still like a nephew, and because I am an adult, I am like the little girl who used to be the director of military supplies. Uncle, who sometimes comes to Hangzhou from the countryside, lives in the west wing of her house, with a kind of dignity. Aunt Si moved back to the countryside during the war, but her aunt and Songyuan were by her side. Songyuan was married and had two children. His brother is in Chongqing, his sister Yashan is already married, and he goes out to study, but he can't respond. The eight years are really

difficult.Now we are victorious, the second child is a secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government, the fifth is a commissioner of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the youngest Song Shi has also been promoted to the battalion commander, and everyone will come back soon, only Yashan has lost her husband, and Lian is in the back of the university. The United Nations University is about to graduate , so it is still a prestigious family, and even the fire in the stove laughs when it wins.It is not surprising that the official family, It is rare to have the hard work and ambition of being a newcomer.

The Si family is really like a world of the Republic of China. His father was a soldier who responded to the 1911 Uprising and recovered Zhejiang. The mother is bright and beautiful, and the children who come out are all clattering.Now only the eldest Song De and the third son Song Jiu have passed away, and with their father They were buried together in the countryside, and the stream and road in front of the grave lead to the outside world, where there are famous cities and people who neigh language. Song De was the same age as me when he was born. He has been a son of an official family since he was born, but he can be unrestrained and has the heroic spirit of his father.

When he was studying in Huilan Middle School, he was two classes higher than me. One day, the students made trouble in the dining room, but when they saw Principal Xu coming, everyone shouted. Everyone was silent, Principal Xu asked who was knocking on the bowl and cursing the kitchen, and he was fired immediately when he said it. No one dared to accept it, but he saw Song De stood up and agreed.He wasn't fired either.He is close to his classmate Zhao Quancheng.The two went to Beijing together On the way to Yanda University, Zhao Quancheng made an appointment with Songde. If one of them refused to take the exam, they would go back to Shanghai and take another exam. There was no difference.

Leave.Songde's homework is better than his, but he is afraid that if Songde takes it, he will not take it.The result is that Zhao Kao entered Yanda, Song De fell The first person returned to Shanghai.A few years later, Song De told me once, "When he said the oath, I didn't say anything. But I thought of it earlier than him, his family is poor, if he fails, needless to say I will not let him alone back.But he also took rich and poor too seriously. "When Song De said it, he didn't mean to blame, but it was inevitable. Disappointed.People say that a promise is worth a thousand dollars, but he treats his friends like a promise without a promise.

Song De is such a noble person, but when he was in Huilan, he went to Gongchen Bridge with Zhao Quancheng for a while to visit prostitutes. I was infected with gonorrhea. Unfortunately, there was no cure for gonorrhea at that time.Zhao is a Christian, just pray and repent, Song De felt that if there was a God, or even if he did something good to his friends, he asked for forgiveness for doing something bad. There are more vile.He also didn't tell his mother, but he was determined not to get married. Love him, but no one knows what he means.He doesn't blame Zhao Quancheng, because it is shameful to blame him. He entered Guanghua University as a liberal arts student, and learned Yuanqu from Wu Mei. I have seen a tune he filled out, and the words, sentences and syllables are extremely flat. Really neat.He was studying Western philosophy at the same time, I still think so, the richness of Western philosophy should be based on his Bailing Baili came to make it plain and neat.When he was in Guanghua, he went back to Hangzhou to recuperate for a year.

Later, Song De was moved by Kropotkin's national theory, became a member of the Communist Party, and rejected all pompous , only for the revolution.Because of the gonorrhea, he wanted to make great contributions to the world to solve it. He became a member of the Central Committee of the Chinese branch of the Fourth International and was arrested together with Chen Duxiu and Peng Shuzhi.his father Executive Chen Yi and Ge Jingen are mostly high-ranking officials of the national government.
