[Lou Cheng] 24 solar terms

Although appearance, talent, etiquette, and style of conversation can all make people feel good, but it is not these that I admire.I come from a famous family in Shanghai, and I come from a wealthy family, but I always have a pure heart. Although I have never been with brother Ling or you, but brother Ling has this ambition to serve the country at a young age, which shows that the Ming family's family education is indeed extraordinary. "

Mingcheng was slightly taken aback: "I didn't..."

Meng Jing raised her hand to block his words.

"I know. So Sister She actually admires you and despises you. She told me that Mingcheng is good at everything, but he is just a handsome young man in the prosperous age. After removing this coat, he is actually nothing.” Meng Jing said, “Sister She once hated a person who came from a poor background, behaved vulgarly, and often embarrassed others in public, and everyone actually didn’t like him. Once, a few British men made a move on the female students. This kind of thing has often happened since the concession, but no one thought that the man would rush to do it. The female students escaped, but he was arrested. .”

"Then...he..."

"He could have been released. Although he suffered in prison, he survived. But he died in the end. He hit his head to death. Before he died, he wrote a bloody book on the wall. There were only four words. Give me back my country." Meng Jing said lightly, "Since then, Sister She told me that she still doesn't appreciate that person's behavior, but she admires all those who have blood, strength, faith, and are willing to fight for it. people."

Mingcheng was silent, and said softly for a long while: "There is no way in the world, so martyrdom with your own body. I might as well."

"Actually, from the very beginning, you have always been the object we want to focus on. You have knowledge, vision, family background, and popularity. I have read your articles, which are both beautiful and meaningful. If you Joining is tantamount to adding a big boost to the work of the Student Union." Meng Jing continued calmly, "But everyone who invited you failed. How disdainful. They say that many people are still willing to go through fire and water for their country even though they suffer hardships, while Mingcheng only cares about his books and paintings when the country is in danger. They don’t want to be with such people .”

Every word is like a knife, like a sword, or like a halberd, with sharp strokes and blood.

Mingcheng had never experienced such embarrassment.He has always been an obedient child. His eldest brother hoped that he would study hard, so he would study hard and dare not slack off; his eldest sister hoped that he would not participate in student sports, so he would refuse all invitations, trying not to listen, not to see, not to go think.

But how could it be possible not to listen, not to see, not to want to?He shared the study room with Minglou. He was a student that Minglou brought with him and taught him hand in hand. He was influenced by his ears and eyes. It hides the same fire as Minglou, even if it is weak, it will always burn.He has never experienced suffering, but this thick and silent land has witnessed his pain and struggle, but it has also carried the weight of his life from beginning to end.Unable to give up, difficult to deviate from.

Now someone is in front of him, without scolding or scolding, just asking him calmly, where are you when all the people of insight are throwing their heads and blood for the country?You have a heart of patriotism, and you have the ambition to serve the country, but what else have you done for this country besides utopian dreams?Or, have you ever thought about what you will do for this country in the future?

Mingcheng couldn't answer, he just felt ashamed.

Meng Jing looked at him for a while, then said softly: "Actually, I have always been in favor of a saying that is a scholar who is useless. The pen of a literati can certainly enlighten people's wisdom and inspire people's hearts, but it is always against people. , Even if you write a thousand words and say it in a sentence, what is the use?" He pointed to the lively scene around him, "No matter how powerful the student movement is, in front of the guns, it is just a weak resistance. I used to hear people say, The literati rebellion, if it fails in ten years, is actually very reasonable."

Mingcheng asked: "Do the organizers of the student movement also have such a pessimistic view?"

"I guess you want to ask me, why do you take risks to organize and lead again and again when you obviously don't think the student movement can achieve results." Meng Jing smiled, "Yes, 90.00% of the possibilities will end in failure, But I am willing to gamble that one percent with myself. Some things, if done, may not succeed, but if not done, will definitely not succeed.”

"Is it strange? I have so many companions, but I have to say these things to you."

"Based on my past behavior, you should judge that I am just a coward, a villain, and you don't bother to be with me."

"You are not." Meng Jing said, "Mingcheng, there is light in your eyes."

"I don't regret taking such a road, but I also know that the future of this road is bleak."

"I've talked so much with you, maybe I just want to find some new hope from you, whether it will come true, actually I don't know."

Mingcheng looked at him for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand: "Then try to live until the day of realization."

Meng Jing stretched out her hand to hold it: "Each, each other, don't let me miss you."

On the way back to school with Mingtai, Mingcheng was very silent, with a shallow smile on his face. Mingtai thought he was angry, so he grabbed his sleeve carefully, shaking and coquettishly: "Brother Ah Cheng, I will never If you dare, don't scold me, okay?"

Mingcheng was helpless: "Little ancestor, when did I scold you, I was the only one who was scolded for you, okay?"

"Oh, brother Ah Cheng, I knew you were the best for me." Mingtai was happy for a while, then remembered something, and looked at him from under his eyelashes, "Then...then don't tell big brother, okay?"

Mingcheng intentionally taught him a lesson, and deliberately said: "I can't agree to this, you even learned how to play truant, and dared to run to participate in the student movement, this time I don't think Elder Sister can protect you."

Mingtai muttered: "I don't believe that elder brother dares to resist elder sister."

"What did you say?"

"I said, I was wrong this time. I will definitely change it next time. I will definitely change it. Brother Ah Cheng, you can hold your hands high and hide it for me, okay?"

Mingcheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a while, seeing that Mingtai was getting more and more anxious, and his palms started to break out in cold sweat, so he said slowly, "This is not an example. Do you know what to say when you get home?"

Mingtai cheered: "I know, I know, the teacher is procrastinating again, Brother Ah Cheng has been waiting for me at the school gate for quite a while."

"You're clever." Mingcheng patted the back of his head, "Go, go home."

They were lucky. When they got home, they found that Minglou hadn't come back. Mingjing always believed everything Mingtai said. The two confessed well, and they managed to fool them.Even more fortunately, when they arrived home, there was thunder after another outside the window, and the dark clouds thickened, and it seemed that it was going to rain heavily.

Mingcheng was a little worried, and kept standing by the door looking around. He remembered that Minglou didn't bring an umbrella when he went out today, and was thinking about whether to send an umbrella, when he saw Minglou Shi Shiran stepping into the door, carrying a box of things in his hand , the mood looks... unexpectedly not bad.

"Big brother."

"Ah Cheng is back." Ming Lou handed over the thing in his hand, Ming Cheng took it over and glanced at it, his brows suddenly twitched.

"Brother, why did you buy this today?"

Minglou was surprised: "Don't you like to eat this?"

Mingcheng said: "Obviously my elder brother likes it... This store is very close to Mingtai's school. Next time my elder brother wants to buy it, just let me know. I'll just bring a copy back when I pick up Mingtai from school, so as to save money." You take a long way."

"It didn't go too far. I just happened to have something to pass by today. I remembered that you liked this, so I bought it back."

"Is it difficult to admit that you like it..."

"Ok?"

Mingcheng said seriously: "Thank you brother, I like it very much, I will definitely eat all of these."

Minglou coughed: "Even if you like it, you can't eat too much, be careful of toothache."

Mingcheng couldn't help laughing: "Yes, for the sake of my teeth, I will ask my elder brother to solve part of it for me."

Ming Lou nodded in satisfaction: "Ah Cheng has grown up and is sensible."

"Brother seems to be in a good mood today?"

"Yeah, when I was walking today, I heard the oriole start to sing."

"Brother likes orioles?"

"The spring day carries the sun, and there is Ming Canggeng, doesn't Ah Cheng like it?"

"its me……"

Those who wake up from stings, everything comes out of the shock, and the shock is like thunder, it is the stinging insects that startle and run away.Tao Shihua, Cang Gengming, the eagle turns into a dove.

The slumber and ignorance in winter will be broken by the thunder eventually, and the burning branches of peach blossoms and orioles will envelop the spring, and they will finally sing loudly, singing new life and hope.

【Seven】Vernal Equinox

The little ancestor of the family is sick.

Mingcheng put his hand deeper into the pocket of the windbreaker, and at the same time tried to shrink his neck back to the collar in the cold wind.

...Oops, the collar is a bit low.

He sighed, gave up the idea, and once again regretted going out in such a hurry that he forgot to bring his scarf.

But there was no way around it, the eldest sister would be back in two days, at this time Mingtai was actually sick, lying groggy on the bed with a low fever.If the eldest sister finds out, Minglou and him will definitely be reprimanded for not being like an older brother. She has only been out for a few days, and they can take care of Mingtai until he has a fever.

Mingcheng thought, in the eyes of the elder sister, he and his eldest brother were like walking human-shaped bomb targets, with four large characters printed on their foreheads - shoot me.Although the eldest sister is more towards Mingtai, she unexpectedly listens to them on this point.

Mingcheng sighed again.

He discovered something was wrong when he went to ask Mingtai to get up to go to school.Mingtai
