"Girl, you have to pay attention to your own affairs! You know that once women pass their youth, they just..." Nagarjuna said to Longfeng. "I understand! Father! However, I am determined to wait for Li Ying!" Longfeng said firmly. "But where did he go? Is he alive or dead? I don't know! Even if he is not dead, why doesn't he write you a letter? Is this a sign of his love for you?" "Write me a letter, Whether he loves me or not is his business; anyway, I can't let him down, I'll wait for him!" "Then you're not going to Fengtian?" Officer Long looked anxious. "I'm here waiting for him!"

"That's wrong, girl! Fengtian's work is God's will! God chose us father and daughter to go to Fengtian, don't we obey him?" Longfeng did not answer with tears in his eyes. "Besides," Officer Long continued, "Going to Fengtian and waiting for Li Ying will not conflict, you can wait for him in Fengtian! Our affairs are private, and God's affairs are public. We can't just care about ourselves and miss God business!" "God's cause is as important as people's love! I know when Li Ying will come back, he's back and I'm gone, when will we meet again? Father, you go to Fengtian, I'm still here, don't you worry ?”

"I'm worried! Ever since your mother died, I can't leave you for a moment! If I didn't do it for you, why would I have to suffer all this?" Their father and daughter all lowered their heads and wept. After staying for a long time, Longfeng asked: "If I get married, can I still live with my father?" "That's another matter. I can't leave you until I get married! Girl, don't be arrogant, listen to your father again, even if it's just this one time?" No matter how new people are, they will not completely eradicate the old forces. Family revolutionaries who advocate "non-filial piety" can declare war on their parents, but they cannot bear their parents' entreaties and soften them; moreover, the love between parents and children is sometimes impossible. What about rational judgment and analysis?Dragon and Phoenix can't!She understands what "love" is, but she still can't get rid of the bondage of "love" that has been passed down for thousands of years-"love" is the filial piety of children to their parents!

Nagarjuna was appointed by the headquarters of the North China Salvation Army to preach the Gospel at the Fengtianli branch, so there was a small conflict between their father and daughter.Nagarjuna had already discussed with Sun Ba how to repay the debt, but one of the reasons for going to Fengtian was that he could earn a few more dollars in Fengtian. Longfeng's suffering is beyond her pearl-like heart!She doubted her father. Are all his facilities for her?She lost Li Ying, if Li Ying didn't leave, would her father really give her to Li Ying?She has always been very dear to her father, but suddenly changed today?She really loves Li Ying, what if her father forces her to marry someone else in the future? ... She couldn't see clearly, she couldn't think clearly, she doubted her father, but she still didn't dare to disobey him. ... There was a farewell party in the church to send off the father and daughter of the Long family.Prayers and hymns were written sequentially. An officer sent by the North China General Assembly gave a speech to the effect: "Believe in God's control, the Salvation Army is all over the world; with our faith, we will drive out all the devils! Get rid of private thoughts, wear Put on God's hat; give up your life, take up the cross of Jesus; sacrifice your body, seek the pleasure of heaven!... This is the responsibility of the father and daughter of the Long family... Amen!"

The father and daughter of the Long family shook hands with those in the meeting one by one, thanked them, and walked out of the church slowly. Zhao Si holds a bouquet of roses in his right hand and a small box of snacks in his left.Raise your hands together to welcome the father and daughter of the Long family.Pass the flowers to Longfeng and the snacks to Officer Long.Then say to her: "These flowers are auspicious and wishful!" tell him: "These snacks will satisfy your hunger!" After finishing speaking, he stood with his hands down without saying a word and looked at their father and daughter.

They understood what Zhao Si meant, took the things with a smile, and thanked Zhao Si. "When are you leaving?" Zhao Si asked. "There is still half a day to go." Officer Long replied. "Is there anything useful for me?" Zhao Si asked again. "Yes!" Longfeng rushed to say without waiting for her father to open his mouth. "Fourth brother, go and buy me some tea! I'll be home at five o'clock today. If you want to buy it, it's best to send it to me at that time!" "Just do that!" Zhao Si took the money from Longfeng and went out of the city to buy tea. …………

"Where's your father?" Zhao Si asked Longfeng. "Going out, that's why I asked you to come here at this time. Fourth brother! Do you understand my father's attitude towards me?" Longfeng asked earnestly. "I don't understand," Zhao Si said, "but I don't dare to think of someone wrong! Everything in the past is your fault!" "Who?" "You and Li Ying, Li Jing and Wang De!" "how?" "Don't dare to run! Don't dare to run! Now, the chance to run is gone!" "Fourth brother!" Longfeng sighed, "There is no need to talk about the past. Let me ask you, is Li Ying alive or dead?"

"If he's gone, he's alive; I haven't heard from him, but I dare say so!" "If he wants to come back, you must tell him that I'm still waiting for him!" "I don't care, I'm a dog!" Zhao Si dared not swear in front of a woman! "Fourth brother! Thank you! The future news will depend entirely on you!" "That's right, girl!" "Okay! This is my communication office. If he comes back, or if you have any news, please let me know!" "But I can't write?" "Zhao, surnamed Zhao, do you know how to write?"

"Deal with it!" "There is a word Zhao written on a piece of white paper, and if I ask someone to write an envelope, I will know that he is back! Fourth brother, can it be done?" If women are in a hurry, their ideas are sometimes slightly ridiculous, but their hearts are a little more innocent than men! "It can be done! Good! Girl, safe journey!"
