Zhaoshi was playing with the brass hilt of his "Zhongzheng" sword. The blade was shining with a cold light, and engraved with the four characters "Successful Chengren". He graduated.From then on, he is no longer a student, but a real soldier, and the classmates in the class gradually have their own places.The most satisfied is Li Guofeng, who got his wish and went to the Ye Ting Independent Regiment of the Fourth Army as a trainee platoon leader, while Zhaoshi and Jiang Pu were unexpected.The graduation grades of the two ranked first and second among all the graduates. Zhaoshi also laughed at himself, "I was inferior to Jiang Pu when I entered school, and it has not changed after struggling for a few months." Usually students like them will stay in school as instructors However, Zhaoshi was sent to the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army as a company party representative.Jiang Pu did stay in school, but not the instructor, but the principal's secretary.Zhaoshi secretly wondered: "This Jiang Pu is really not an ordinary person. Everyone knows that he has worked as a part-time secretary in the political department for a while. From the director to the instructor of the political department, almost all of them are Communist Party members. It is basically public that Jiang Pu is a Communist Party member. The secret is that he was still selected by the principal." Li Guofeng has never spoken without regard for others, "You are not the same as good students who are close to the instructors. Brother, I have made such great achievements in the graduation drill, so I have to be a platoon leader honestly. , Good guys, you two, one of you is the party representative, and the other is even more powerful, directly to the principal's secretary. Tsk tsk tsk, doesn't the principal know exactly whether the principal eats noodles or steamed buns every day?" Zhaoshi couldn't help laughing, "Just by You only care about noodles or steamed buns, so you can’t be the principal’s secretary. Besides, the principal is from Zhejiang, so he definitely doesn’t eat noodles or steamed buns, haha.” Li Guofeng disagrees, “I don’t care about being a secretary, military merit must be a real knife It's earned like hell."

Li Guofeng's laughing words were still in Zhaoshi's ears, so he left first, and left Guangzhou with the Independence Regiment as the advance force of the Northern Expedition.

Then Zhaoshi also went to the Fourth Army to report.Before leaving, he and Jiang Pu bought a jar of rice wine and a plate of fried squid with peanuts at his hometown on Changzhou Island.Zhaoshi never expresses his thoughts easily since he was a child, and Zhaoquan always said that he is not his own brother, while Jiang Pu is a city man who has something to say. , Dried up the rice wine in the bowl.In the end, Zhao Shi smiled and said, "It's not life and death. There will always be a day when we will meet again. It is Guofeng, and it is also our Fourth Army. Our Fourth Army will go to your hometown in Hunan soon. Maybe I can bring some letters or things for you." Jiang Pu hugged Zhaoshi and said, "My good brother, if you can pass by our Liling, help me to visit my old lady, and then burn the pillars for my father. Smell it. He used to be a well-known teacher in our place. He is serious about learning. In our small place, there are some old friends who are very respected. So he wanted me to be a teacher with all his heart. The old man is old-fashioned and has always refused. I cut my braids, and I gritted my teeth and said that if I didn’t send me to a new school like a normal school, I would never teach. Then I nodded and let me go to Changsha. It’s a pity that he was in poor health. Later, when he heard that I went to Guangzhou to make a revolution, he breathed a sigh of relief. If they don’t come up, people will be gone, alas!” Zhaoshi and Jiang Pu have always cherished each other, and they have a very close relationship, but they have never heard Jiang Pu mention his family, and when he said it suddenly, he was a little at a loss and didn’t know what to do. comfort.Isn't his own father the one who was angry with his elder brother? Although Jiang Pu and his elder brother are very different, they seem to be the same for a family.He opened his mouth to say something, but Jiang Pu patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, don't say anything. Loyalty and filial piety can't be both, didn't you think the same way when you left the letter home?"

At this time, Zhaoshi once again admired his sister-in-law who raised him. The tolerance and understanding of her sister-in-law enabled him to walk on the ideal road with peace of mind, without having to carry a lifelong burden like Jiang Pu.The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, this is just a word of comfort, who is not heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching when he betrays his family and parents?

The Shen family's garment factory opened in Guangzhou. Because of the connection with Director Liu of the Military Supplies Department, the military uniforms of the students in the military academy have also become the Shen family's business.Jing Xian often said with a smile that this was all Zheng Hai's idea, and their Sun family is also better than blue.Whenever at this time, Sun Xiangli always said politely: "Fortunately, this child grew up in Shen's family, and I don't know how much knowledge he has gained from being with the grandma and the second master." Get closer together.Zhaoshi has a calm and rigorous personality, although he loves him usually, but when he asks about homework and rules, he is as strict as Jingxian back then, no matter how big or small, he reminds him of everything.Zhenghai is not the case. He has excellent grades and popularity in school, and he is often hugged by his classmates; People are dissatisfied; in addition, he goes out with Huanzhu every day, everyone says that he will be the son-in-law of the Shen family in the future, and even the general people who tend to the flames praise him every day, which makes the younger brother in the family really admire him The five bodies bowed their heads and ears.On weekdays, he spends more time reading and writing with Huanzhu, chatting and chatting, and doesn't ask Lianzhou much about his homework. He just scares him by saying that if he is too playful, his report card will not pass his mother's test.If Lianzhou is tired, he will be punished by his godmother, and he will not teach Lianzhou to play ball or boxing during the holidays.Zheng Hai learned some boxing from a martial artist in the alley of his house, Lian Zhou was so envious, when he heard that if he didn't study hard, he wouldn't be able to learn boxing from his brother during the holidays, so he restrained himself.Besides, Lianzhou has been a very smart child since he was a child, so he doesn't have to worry about his homework if he pays a little attention to it.

After a long time of calm, there will naturally be some waves.

Both Zhenghai and Huanzhu went to middle school, so they asked Lianzhou to do their homework in the classroom after school every day, and then went to school to pick him up to go back with them.Lian Zhou was also obedient, waiting in the classroom every day, and occasionally playing ball with his classmates on the playground, and ran back after shouting.One day, when the two arrived at school, they found that Lianzhou was not in the classroom, and they looked around the playground but saw no one.Huanzhu blushed immediately, and Zhenghai comforted Huanzhu while searching for Lianzhou, "Don't worry, Lianzhou knows the seriousness even though he loves to play, and he will never go far." The janitor also recognized the children of the Shen family, and when he saw Zhenghai looking for someone everywhere, he grabbed him and said, "Look for your younger brother. When school was over today, I saw a woman in her thirties who dragged him around. Weeping and speaking outside the school gate for a long time, after boiling a pot of water, no one was there.”

Hearing this, Huanzhu became even more anxious, with tears streaming down his face, Zhenghai hurriedly took out a handkerchief to give it to Huanzhu, and asked the school worker, "Do you know that woman? What does she look like?" The old school worker After thinking for a while, "I don't know her. She's not a woman from a rich family like you. I've been here a few times before, and she always walks away at the school gate. However, your brother seems to know her. "Zhenghai was puzzled, wondering how Lianzhou would know such a woman, Huanzhu suddenly stopped crying, hurriedly took out the small notebook in his schoolbag, wrote a few words and gave it to Zhenghai.When Zheng Hai took it over, he suddenly realized that it said "Mother" on it.Knowing who the person came, Zheng Hai really panicked, if that woman took Lian Zhou away, it would be a big deal.

He tried to calm himself down, pursed his lips and pondered for a while, then turned his head and asked the janitor: "Help me remember, where did the woman come from every time, and where did she go back?" The old janitor thought for a while , pointing to the west side of the school gate and said: "Probably come from the alley in front every time. Zhenghai took Huanzhu's hand and ran to the direction pointed by the school worker. As soon as he ran to the corner of the street, he saw Lianzhou carrying a schoolbag. He was running back in a hurry, looking back as he was running, suddenly being hugged by Huanzhu and startled him. Looking back and seeing Zhenghai and Huanzhu, he seemed to have just put his heart back into his stomach, and suddenly He took a few breaths, and then called out honestly: "Brother Zhenghai, sister. "Huanzhu held Lianzhou in his arms as if he had found a lost toy, and touched his face. Zhenghai asked from the side: "Lianzhou, did you see your mother? Lianzhou nodded. Zhenghai then asked him: "How did your mother find the school? Does she want to take you away?" "Lianzhou shook his head, thought of the next question, and nodded again. Zhenghai pulled him out of Huanzhu's arms: "You child, is your brain broken?Why do you nod and shake your head for a while. "Lianzhou whispered: "It's my mother who came, I can still recognize her.I don't know how she found it.She said she would take me away, take me home, I didn't know what to do, so I followed her to the intersection.But I thought that if I left with her, my brothers and sisters would be anxious when they came to pick me up.I said I would come back, but she refused.I was afraid, I was afraid that I would just leave, I would not be able to come back, and I would not be able to go home again.I broke free from her and ran back, but she didn't chase me. "Although he talked intermittently and ramblingly, Zhenghai and Huanzhu also understood the general idea. Zhenghai patted Lianzhou on the head: "You were right to run back.No matter what happens in the future, you have to wait for your brothers and sisters at school.Also, there is no way to let the godmother know about this matter. Lianzhou nodded: "I know, Brother Zhenghai." "
