Hometown beacon smoke old time shadow

During the winter vacation, Lianzhou and Xiaopeng became good friends. Xiaopeng often came to him to read English, and he also talked to Xiaopeng about family affairs or what he had seen in Beiping.Xiaopeng grew up in the countryside. The spring planting and autumn harvest he talked about, rice fields and watermelon fields all made Lianzhou very interested, and he said regretfully: "It's a pity that my good friend Anan is no longer in Shanghai, otherwise the three of us would be in Shanghai." It must be very interesting together." Xiaopeng asked him: "Where did Anan go?" Lianzhou leaned into his ear: "I'll tell you quietly, don't tell others. He is a Communist Party, and he must have gone to the Soviet area when he left Shanghai. Xiaopeng stared: "My aunt won't let me talk about this at home, but you still say it!" Lian Zhou waved his hand: "If you don't let my mother hear it, it's fine. If you don't tell him, how will she know." Xiaopeng asked back: "How can you be sure I won't say it?" Lian Zhou was stunned, "We are brothers, you shouldn't betray me." Xiaopeng said: "It shouldn't be, but it doesn't mean it won't happen." Lianzhou got angry, and waited for Xiaopeng with bloodshot eyes, as if he was about to eat him: "What do you mean?"Are you going to inform my mother?Then don't come to my house anymore. Xiaopeng said with a smile: "If your mother asks me, should I lie to her?" Lianzhou clenched her fist and said, "You can't even tell my mother if she asks you." Xiaopeng asked back: "If your mother says it too, if I don't say it, I won't be allowed to come to your house anymore."So should I listen to your mother or you? Lianzhou heard something in his words: "You, you, please explain clearly." Xiaopeng sat down with a smile: "If you and aunt threatened me at the same time, I think it would be safer to listen to aunt, right?"After all, she has more power than you in this place. Lianzhou asked: "What do you think?" "Xiao Peng tilted his head, "If this is a secret that no one else should know, you shouldn't tell me, no matter how harmless I look.Because you never know what's on my mind.Lianzhou had to admit that what Xiaopeng said was right, and at the same time, he also wondered why Xiaopeng suddenly mentioned this to him.Xiaopeng took the initiative to explain, "I accidentally disclosed company secrets to an unimportant person last week. I wish the chairman was furious and scolded me, and deducted a month's salary. I have learned a lesson, and I have to let you Let me teach you a lesson, so that you won't be scolded by your mother again next time."

Lianzhou was thinking about Huiqiu's matter in her heart, and she was not sure about staying in Shanghai. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she was in a hurry to go back to Peiping.The family only thought that he was anxious to see his girlfriend, but they didn't stop him.The day before his departure, he received another letter, "Ms. Linda has regained consciousness after being rescued, and has been transferred to the Nanjing Central Hospital in her hometown. Her life is not in danger and she cannot be discharged from the hospital. Don't read it. Teacher Su likes to be quiet, so don't tell others. Disclose the illness to avoid visits, brother kindness cherishes oneself, if the teacher recovers in time, write a letter to my brother immediately." Lianzhou held the letter, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.It seems that Huiqiu has been transferred to a prison in Nanjing, and there should be a trial result, not a death sentence.But when he will be released from prison, it seems still unknown.The other good news is that he has not lost contact with the organization.Although he received Huiqiu's message as soon as he got home, he was still not sure whether the organization took the risk to inform him once, or if someone would contact him again in the future.He also tried to find Anan and the boy, but they both disappeared. According to Anan's mother, the two should have gone to the Soviet area.Now there is another letter that is exactly the same. It seems that the liaison officer will contact him regularly, but it is not convenient to tell him his identity.Lian Zhou faintly felt that this person was very close to him, and even knew that he would return to Beiping tomorrow.

Lianzhou was shocked when he saw Mr. Leng coming to pick him up in front of the train station. Could it be that Mr. Leng was the messenger?Otherwise, how do you know that he returned to Peiping early?Or, it was Mr. Leng who informed and got Huiqiu arrested?Mr. Leng knew that he used two identities.While frowning, Mr. Leng shouted: "Lianzhou, I'm here." Now, he couldn't pretend not to know him.I had no choice but to think of countermeasures while walking. As soon as I squeezed out of the station, Mr. Leng came up to him and whispered in his ear: "Don't go home, it's dangerous." Lianzhou glanced at Mr. Leng in shock. Is he really here to deliver a letter? !

Mr. Leng took him to a small restaurant next to the station and sat down: "Just a few days after you left, your daughter-in-law went out for a whole day and didn't come back. The next day a group of police came and ransacked your house. I dare not Randomly inquired, hid aside and listened to what they said, and saw that they confiscated a lot of newspapers and periodicals, saying they were propaganda materials of the Communist Party of China. Later, they questioned me and other neighbors and asked who lived in our house. I didn’t dare You said you were the young master of the Shen family, so you went with them. You said you were a young couple surnamed Wang. One worked as a nurse in a hospital and the other worked in a foreign company. The neighbors are all good people, and they didn't say which foreign company or which hospital it was. I can't even tell." After hearing this, Lianzhou knew that Mr. Leng was not the person who delivered the letter.He asked Mr. Leng, "How did you know that I went back to Peiping today?" Mr. Leng rubbed his frozen hands, and took another breath of steam, "I don't know, I thought I should be back after the fifteenth day. I just want to come and wait every day. There is only one train from Shanghai, so I can always wait. Since your wife disappeared, there are people sneaking around in the alley every day. I think they are probably waiting. You go back. Tell me how dangerous it is, I have to find you no matter what, but I can't let you die."

Lian Zhou didn't know who Mr. Leng was, and was so grateful that he almost shed tears. He held Mr. Leng's frozen hand and said, "Thank you, thank you. I won't go back there again." Mr. Leng was concerned He asked calmly: "Then do you have a place to live?" Lianzhou smiled: "You know that I am a student of Peking University, I will have it when I go back to school." Mr. Leng's eyes darkened for a moment: "Oh, I forgot Still thinking, if I pick you up, I will move to another place, and if you can’t find a place for a while, you can squeeze with me. I originally thought about moving away, but I was afraid that I would not pick you up, you Go back, I can give you a message as soon as I see it from a distance."

Although Lianzhou knew the danger of Peiping and would not return to Fanghutong again, Mr. Leng's actions still made him feel as if it was a life-saving grace that he could not repay.He suddenly remembered the disappointment in Mr. Leng's eyes just now. After Boss Xiao's death, he was probably too lonely and had no home to go back to, so he said, "Mr. Leng, otherwise you should move out of the newspaper alley and change places. I can go to see you if I have nothing to do, and talk to you." Mr. Leng nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I have taken care of the houses, and there are still three north houses in the Xiaoqudeng Hutong behind your Peking University." Lianzhou was taken aback, the rent of the three north rooms was more than double that of the south one, and they were not facing the street, how could he open a clinic.But after all, Mr. Leng is renting the house himself, so he can't say much.

Mr. Leng said instead: "You will take a rest at school. When you have time back, go to Xiaoqudeng Alley and find me. Someone copied your house, and I can't stop anything else. It's the jade flute. I took it out for you, it’s been handed down from the family, and now it’s left in my place, you can get it later.”

When Lianzhou returned to school, he suddenly felt that if he stayed in the dormitory like this, his classmates would be suspicious. After staying for two days, he really went to Mr. Leng's place.After staying for a few times, I remembered to ask, "Who do you tell the neighbors that I am?" Mr. Leng smiled: "You are my son!" It can only be said that they are father and son, so they did not refuse.Instead, he said to Mr. Shen: "You can still say that I work in a foreign company. Let's make two sets of clothes together, and it looks like I live in the north room." Mr. Shen was a little hesitant, "Oh, look at me , dressed in such shabby clothes, I really don’t want to be someone who can live in the north room.” Lianzhou regretted what she said just now, and immediately said: “Don’t, don’t say that, I didn’t mean that. I mean, turn around Let the neighbors see me and say that I am not filial as a son, eat and drink well by myself, and don't care about my father."

Before Lianzhou left Shanghai, Zhenghai's informant reported a letter saying that a woman in the Lianzhou courtyard was the Communist Party and was arrested, but Shen Zhaosong was still there.Zheng Hai wanted to discuss this matter with Zhaoshi, but when Jing Xian got angry, he stopped talking about it at home.When Lianzhou returned to Beiping, he heard that Lianzhou and Shen Zhaosong had moved together, so he felt at ease.It seems that Lianzhou just heard some nonsense about democracy and freedom in school, but has nothing to do with the Communist Party.

In May, Huanzhu gave birth to a daughter, which Zhenghai named "Shen Yifang". Zhenghai told Jingxian that he had discussed with Sun Xiangli and Mrs. Sun that if it was a daughter, the surname would be Shen, and if it was a son, it would be Sun.Although Mrs. Sun regretted not being able to have a grandson with her first child, she still smiled when she saw the baby sleeping sweetly in the cradle: "Oh, our niece is like a mother, so be good. Unlike your father, when he was a child, he stretched out when he slept. Stretch your arms and legs, as if you are going to fight." Jingxian said from the side: "It's fine to be like Daddy, but he's sensible and can read well."

After the full moon, Zhenghai took Sun Xiangli, Mrs. Sun, Jingxian and Huanzhu, and took a family portrait with the children in their arms. They sent photos to Zhaoshi in Nanjing, Lianzhou in Beiping, and his three older sisters.Lianzhou held the photo and kept kissing, and then showed it to Mr. Leng and said, "Look, my niece is so pretty." Mr. Leng asked, "Isn't it your sister's child? It should be your nephew." Lian Zhou said: "You don't know, my brother-in-law is my mother's adopted son. He grew up in my family. I have called him brother since I was a child, and my family also treats him as the young master. She is my niece, and I am the second uncle." "Mr. Leng was a little puzzled: "What's the difference between Uncle and Uncle?" Lian Zhou felt embarrassed, "Hee hee, it's nothing. My second uncle raised my child, and because I'm close to my second uncle, I feel that I'm called my second uncle." It sounds like a father, so happy to hear it." Mr. Leng felt uncomfortable and couldn't say anything, so he said to Lian Zhou: "You are happy today, I'll go buy something delicious, and we two have a drink. You can buy it too. Put the photos in a photo frame and display them, and look back every day."
