Hometown beacon smoke old time shadow

Jingxian came out to help her: "Lianzhou, talk hard. Now that you can study hard, mother is very happy. Go to university first. Think about what you want to do when you go to university." Then he looked at Zhaoshi: "You two don't know what happened in the past two years. In the past, Lian Zhou was like a little tail, following the second uncle every day, and he couldn't be chased away. Now, the one with a black face didn't say anything. If you say one sentence, you have to do it, and for the other one, you have to avoid it like a cat and mouse, or you have to worry about saying a few words." Lan Xin comforted Jingxian: "It's okay, children who are half-grown have a little bit of their own. Thoughts, it is unavoidable not to be obedient. I often persuade Zhaoshi, think about it when we were so old, it was not the same. My father held me like a baby when I was a child. My son is also angry, he jumps around at home every day, and asks my mother if he did something wrong in her previous life to give birth to a girl like me who is naturally rebellious." Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "Oh, I really can't imagine it, two How naughty grandma could be when she was young." Zhaoquan said, "It's unimaginable, your grandma used to climb a tree when she was young."

When Zhaoquan said a word, everyone laughed.Jingxian also fell into memories. She sat on a big pomegranate tree and cried.Shen Zhaosong was probably only a teenager at that time. He was wearing a lake silk gown, standing under a tree and calling her: "Sister Xian, don't cry, don't cry, just close your eyes and jump down, I'll follow you." Xian closed her eyes, jumped down from the tree, and Zhaosong fell, and she fell on Zhaosong.

When Zhaoquan saw Jing Xian suddenly stunned, he realized that she probably remembered something from her childhood.Busily picked up a plate of vegetables for Jingxian: "The eight-treasure duck is very good today, try it." Jingxian came to her senses and said, "Oh, yes. My uncle has a good taste. It was Lan Xin who said that my uncle came from the army. When I come back, I’m afraid I want to eat some special dishes at home, so I specially asked the kitchen to add them.”

Soon after this happy reunion dinner, the situation in Shanghai became tense.Zheng Hai caught a piece of news that Mr. Gaki Seishiro returned to Japan to meet the Emperor, and immediately became nervous. He pointed to the newspaper and said to Teruishi: "This war madman will be reused. He must go back to discuss the next battle plan. See It looks like we have to wait for death."

Immediately afterwards, there was an order from Zhenghai to provide combat intelligence to the 78th Division, and he hurriedly went to Zhaoshi and said, "You probably won't be staying at home for long, and the focus of our intelligence organization work in Shanghai has turned to the military against Japan. "After he finished speaking, he sighed, "Originally you were at home. How easy it is for me to transmit information. I don't even need a telegraph." Leave the information to me, and give it to whom according to the procedure." Zheng Hai knocked on his heels and gave a military salute: "Yes, sir!" Zhaoshi raised his hand: "Hiss, the more you talk about your kid, the more you come, be careful not to be seen !" Zhenghai shrank his neck and smiled, "I haven't been scolded by you for a long time, it's itchy!" Zhaoshi suddenly remembered something, pointed at Zhenghai and said, "I warn you, don't hide the telegraph at home." Zhenghai waved his hand quickly : "No, no, no."

While the two were talking, the phone in the living room rang, ordering Zhaoshi to return to the army to assemble in four hours.He remembered the information provided by Zhenghai before, and he might not go easily, so he called Lan Xin and Lianzhou to Jingxian's room.Zhaoshi said to Jingxian: "Sister-in-law, I'm going back to the army soon. The situation in Shanghai is tense recently. You must have read it from the newspapers. We are in the French Concession, and the Japanese will not easily come to harass us. Don't go out. Ask Zhenghai to bring Mrs. Sun and the others. There are so many people and everyone can take care of each other. If there is any danger, hide in the basement." He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "There is another important matter, Zhenghai and Huanzhu's marriage may have to be postponed, so choose another date. I also left a gun for Zhenghai, he can use it." Lianzhou was anxious at the side: "Second Uncle, I want to learn too, I can protect the family " Zhaoshi said: "It's too late, let Zhenghai teach you first, if I can find time to come back, I will find you a gun." Jingxian followed anxiously: "Lianzhou, you are so small, how can you use it? This." But Zhaoshi waved his hand: "If there is really danger, I can't take care of it anymore. Anyway, he is a boy, so he should do his best for the family at this time." Then he looked at Lan Xin: "Everyone in the family is very friendly. Here it is, while it is still stable, arrange for people to buy more rice, biscuits, save some water, buy more candles, there may be a power outage."

Jingxian waved her hand: "Okay, I got it, you go. I'm at home." Zhaoshi naturally knew that no matter what happened, the sister-in-law would do her best to carry the family.So she nodded to Jingxian: "Sister-in-law, then I'm leaving, please take care." Jingxian said: "Lan Xin, send it off."

After leaving the door, Lan Xin held Zhaoshi's hand tightly, went straight to the hall, put on a military coat and hat for Zhaoshi.Her hands were cold, trembling slightly, tears continued in her eyes, but she tried hard to open them wide to keep the tears from flowing out.At the moment Zhaoshi reached out to pull the door, she finally couldn't help hugging Zhaoshi tightly.Zhaoshi turned over and hugged Lan Xin in his arms, "I'll be back soon. Take care!" Zhaoshi kissed Lan Xin's forehead and disappeared in the shadow of the lights in front of the door.

Every time he went to the battlefield before, Zhaoshi was almost in a daze of sleep. He listened to the assembly whistle and grabbed his gun to gather and set off. He had never said goodbye like this, and never thought about what would happen if he couldn't come back.Today he walked out of that warm home and the familiar Shen mansion, and he told himself: "I have to come back alive."

Zhaoshi looked at his watch when he went out, there was still a while before the assembly time, he leaned against the car door and smoked a cigarette.After stamping out the cigarette butts that were thrown on the ground with his feet, he got into the car and went to the military headquarters.

Unexpectedly, the military meeting was not how to defend against the enemy, but how to retreat.There was a room full of officers above the regimental level, all of them were frowning and grimacing. General Cai said, "I asked the mayor of Shanghai. He told me that the government would not back down. Who knows that the Japanese are pressing so hard that the government can't stand it." Yes. Minister He came to talk to me in person today, and he couldn’t say anything else, just a word, and if you can’t bear it, you can make a big mess.” Head He of the [-]th Brigade threw half a cigarette into the ashtray: “ What the hell kind of government is this? The enemy has come to your door to bully you. Not only will they not support the army, but they will also persuade you to put your hands on your guns!" Zhaoshi frowned: "Old He, shut your stinky mouth." Unexpectedly, the teacher said after being bored for a long time: "Forget it, don't be a soldier, go home and farm, and you will lose half your old face."

Zhao Shi could tell that Commander Cai wanted to say the same thing, and he held back for a long time before saying: "A man can bend and stretch, follow the government's order." After hearing this letter, everyone packed up the documents in front of them, prepared to end the meeting, and thought about it. With future plans.Head He leaned into Zhaoshi's ear: "Pack up your luggage tonight, and go north to the northeast tomorrow to join Ma Zhanshan. I have to get back the dignity of a soldier. Are you going?" Zhaoshi hesitated. One side said: "Forget it, forget it, you have a great career in Shanghai, and I didn't say it." The two were muttering, but Cai Junchang returned with the division commander: "He Tuanchang, take your people, first in Zhabei Stay alert, and come back after the gendarmerie is completely on guard, so as not to let the Japanese take advantage of it at this time. Director Shen, you bring two staff officers with you to negotiate with the gendarmerie. Don't let old He lose his temper. As soon as I came up, I shot at people." The commander went out, and Zhaoshi bumped into Commander He: "I can't leave tomorrow. If it is so easy to go to the Northeast, I think the commander would have gone by himself."

Zhaoshi and Lao He stayed at the station with their people, and the gendarmerie couldn't force them to urge them.After all, it's not a good thing. Urging a person like Lao He into a hurry may not necessarily do anything, so not only was he nice, but he even rented a warehouse nearby, and he didn't have the nerve to rob Zhao Shi and the others of the barracks.This dragged on for a few days, and it couldn't go on any longer, so Zhaoshi had no choice but to persuade Lao He to pack his luggage and prepare to retreat.

Zhaoshi thought that if he really retreated tomorrow, Lao He might really go to the northeast to fight against Japan.He ordered the cooking team to fry two dishes, and drove out to buy wine by himself.When I came back, I passed near the railway station in Zhabei, and the road suddenly became crowded with ordinary people with their families and luggage on their backs.Zhaoshi honked the horn a few times to no avail, and there were more and more people on the street.He had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road and wanted to ask people on the side of the road. He was watching an old man running forward with his granddaughter. The little girl was still gnawing on half a steamed bun. Also dropped.Zhaoshi went up to help the little girl up, and took out half a piece of compressed biscuit from his military uniform and gave it to her. The old man was on the sidelines and thanked him very much: "Thank you sir, thank you sir, you are from the [-]th Route Army, right?" Zhaoshi nodded , The old man repeatedly said: "Love the people like your sons, love the people like your sons." Zhaoshi stopped the old man and asked: "Old man, what happened, where are you going?" The old man said: "Japanese, Japanese People are going to open fire!" Shocked, Zhaoshi pulled the old man and asked, "How did you know?" The old man said, "Our house is separated from the Japanese soldiers' camp by a railway line, and they gather every morning. In the evening, Japanese music will be played after dinner. I blew the assembly number this morning, and played the assembly number again after dinner without playing music. Isn’t this going to start a fight? We have to go to the relative’s house in the country to take shelter Avoid." After speaking, he took Zhaoshi's hand again: "Aren't you from Cantonese?" Zhaoshi said, "I am from Shanghai, and I belong to the Shen family, the Shen family who opened a silk and satin shop." The little girl fell on the ground. Clapping from the side: "Grandfather said that when my daughter grows up, I will buy Shen's floral cloth to make new clothes for her." Zhaoshi looked at the crowd, and took out five yuan from his pocket to the little girl: "Here, Let Grandpa buy buns for you to eat." After finishing speaking, he didn't get in the car and ran back towards the station.
