Lian Zhou returned to the room with the brocade box in his hands, put the box away in the salute, and probed into the hidden corner of the box, breaking out in a cold sweat.He hurriedly asked Anan who was eating snacks: "Who came here just now?" Anan raised his face and thought for a while: "Little girl came here twice recently, and sister-in-law Zhou came here once, and your sister also came here once." Are they all here to collect the salutes?" Anan nodded: "I'm leaving tomorrow, why can't I finish collecting today? I can't take any more, and I won't be able to finish them for you."

Before he finished speaking, Lianzhou hurried out to find Huanzhu.Huanzhu was not in his room, so he had to go upstairs and take a peek through the crack of the door.Unexpectedly, his mother saw him: "Come in." Lian Zhou had no choice but to enter his mother's room "What are you doing sneakily outside?" Lian Zhou said with a smile: "Let me see if there is anyone in the room. Talk to your mother." Zhaoquan said from the side: "I want to hear what you have to tell your mother secretly." Lianzhou looked at Jing Xian with an embarrassed look, "Mother, I'm going to talk to you tonight. How about sleeping with you?" Jingxian also smiled: "Nonsense, how can such a big boy want to sleep with mother, it's not shameful!" Lian Zhou continued to act coquettishly: "What's so shameful about me sleeping with my mother?" " Zhaoquan said: "It's not shameful, why don't you say it openly, sneaking around outside to see if there is anyone in the house." Lianzhou didn't care about this, and still came up and put her arms around Jingxian's neck, "Mom, what about you?" Go to my room to stay with me at night, and leave after I fall asleep." Jing Xian brushed his hair with a smile, nodded in agreement.Zhaoquan was helpless at the side: "You don't seem to be going to university tomorrow, you are going to elementary school." Lian Zhou asked at this time: "Where did my sister go?" Jingxian patted the back of his hand: " Find it yourself, it’s just such a big house, can your sister still lose it? It’s really getting better and better.”

Lianzhou found the first floor from the third floor, and finally saw Huanzhu baking biscuits in the kitchen, and wanted him to take them with him to eat on the train.He dragged Huanzhu to the restaurant, "Sister, return the things to me!" Huanzhu stared at him as if he didn't understand.Lianzhou was impatient: "Don't be stupid, give it back to me quickly! You must have taken it, Yunluo and Mrs. Zhou are not so bold." Huanzhu just shook his head.Lianzhou lost his mind at this time, so he bowed and begged: "My dear sister, I beg you, give it back to me." Huanzhu suddenly sniffed, the biscuits were a little burnt, and immediately ran back to the kitchen to turn off the oven .Pulling out the baking tray, it turned out that it was a bit overcooked. She was a little angry and poked Lianzhou's head with her finger. Lianzhou didn't hide at this time, but just murmured behind her back: "Give it back to me." Huanzhu didn't seem to hear him, just poured out the burnt biscuits, cleaned the baking tray again, and prepared to bake again.Lianzhou had no choice but to grit his teeth and say behind, "I'll find it myself!"

He entered Huanzhu's room, the red curtains were still hanging, the happy words on the furniture were not removed, and a yellow copper lock was left on the camphor wood box in the corner.Lianzhou immediately wanted to find an axe, but he stopped when he reached the door—the whole family was there, and he couldn't open his sister's box blatantly. Inside was the dowry his mother gave her. , where do you put your face?He scratched his head, not to mention that he couldn't use an axe, he didn't even dare to pry it open secretly.As soon as his sister sued and went to his mother, he didn't have to go to Peiping.

Lianzhou walked around Huanzhu's room twice, but didn't dare to do anything, and Huanzhu didn't come to stop him.He suddenly understood that his sister knew that he didn't dare to turn over anything when he entered the house, so there was no need to worry at all.Moreover, Huanzhu also knew that he dared not tell anyone that he had lost something.

He had no choice but to go back to the room dejectedly, and said to Anan, "It's over, my sister took away my gun." If she doesn’t give it to me, I can’t yell.” Anan also became dejected: “This is what I suffered from being dumb!” Lianzhou punched him: “Don’t scold my sister!” Laughing: "I didn't mean that, it's because you thought wrong!" Both of them laughed out loud again.Anan said: "Your sister is really powerful. She is not afraid when she sees a gun. She took it away without making a sound. I just sat in this room without noticing it." Lianzhou didn't care: "My brother also has a gun, she Might be common."

The whistle of the train bound for Beiping blew, and Lianzhou finally hugged Jingxian: "Mother, don't cry, I will be back during Chinese New Year. Besides, I am not going to fight, but to study. You see, I In the future, I want to study abroad like my brother, but you are always crying, so I dare not go." Jingxian wiped her tears, let Lianzhou get on the car and went.Before the train passed Nanjing, Lianzhou had already forgotten the tears on the platform, and happily chatted with Anan.The two of them didn't look like they were going to study or work, but they looked like tourists traveling in the mountains and rivers, and they arrived in Peiping happily.There was no one at the train station to pick them up.Lianzhou was a little frustrated: "I thought Comrade Xiaozhen would come to pick us up." Anan said: "How does she know when you will come to Peiping? Does she wait at the train station every day? I guess she should be waiting for you at school." , she will definitely go to school to read the list." The two discussed it and hired a rickshaw to go to school.

After completing all the formalities, Xiaozhen still hasn't been seen.Lian Zhou and Anan sat on the grass of the school, you looked at me, I saw you dumbfounded.Anan asked dejectedly: "Is she not in Peiping anymore, or something happened?" Lianzhou gave him a white look: "Stop talking nonsense, nothing will happen. Anyway, I have started school here, so I'm here The school is waiting while going to school. Besides, there must be a party organization in Peking University, and I can find a way to contact it. You go back to Shanghai first, and I will write to you if there is any progress later.”

The joy of the two was gone, and Anan had no choice but to help arrange the lotus boat, and went back to Shanghai in a drowsy manner.Every day after class, Lianzhou must sit on the steps of the library for a while. The library is facing Shasha Street, and the crowds coming and going can be seen clearly.One day a woman with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing a cheongsam walked by the library. Lianzhou excitedly went over to hold her back: "Auntie" When the woman turned around, she realized that it was not Xiaozhen, so she had to apologize again and again, saying that she had admitted the wrong person. up.Until two months later, a classmate asked him to go to the Academic Affairs Office, and a teacher looked for him.Lianzhou hurriedly ran to the office building, just arrived on the first floor, a figure flashed out from the accounting department, grabbed him, and dragged him out of the office building.Lianzhou took a look, and put his arms around Xiaozhen's neck: "You have appeared! I have been waiting for you at the school gate for two months!" Xiaozhen gave him a reproachful look: "What's more, every day Sitting at the door of the library, you are afraid that others will not know that you are going to meet someone, right? Do you think our work is a secret in Shanghai, and we can make it public when we arrive in Beijing?" Lianzhou was very excited to see Xiaozhen, and felt that there were countless I want to talk, but Xiaozhen has more important things to do, so I said to him: "Reserve a seat at the Western Restaurant of Beijing Hotel on Sunday, and we will meet. If anyone asks, just say that my aunt will introduce you to a girlfriend."

"Ah?" Lianzhou was a little surprised

"What? Can you work in Beiping by yourself? You have to connect with people, and now you don't have a mature relationship like Anan."

Sunday, Beijing Hotel
Xiaozhen took a girl to the western restaurant.The girl was wearing a gray-blue plaid cotton gown, with two braids tied behind her head. She had a square face, big eyes, and slightly thick lips. She wore a Swiss watch on her wrist, which was probably most similar to this western restaurant. lining things up.Lian Zhou thought to herself, she looked like a northern girl with big hands, big feet and broad shoulders.The girl was also looking at Lian Zhou. She wore a crisp white shirt with a dark gray striped suit, and a pair of sapphire cuff buttons matched the blue tie.Seeing Xiaozhen, Lianzhou went up to hold hands affectionately: "Auntie, I have been waiting for you for a long time. How is the Western food here? Is it authentic? Is it French?" Xiaozhen pushed him: "So My lord, don't mess around. Let me introduce, this is Lin Huiqiu, from Xiehe Nursing School. Huiqiu, this is my nephew Shen Lianzhou." Lianzhou reached out to shake hands, but Huiqiu pouted, only Said "Hello."

The three sat down, and Lianzhou ordered food.Huiqiu had probably never eaten western food, and she was not very skilled with a knife and fork. Lianzhou secretly laughed at her rusticity, but said: "If Miss Lin is not used to eating steak, how about a cod instead?" Huiqiu lowered her head The head continued to wrestle with the steak, and said bluntly: "Let's get down to business."

Xiaozhen smiled and looked at the two young men who seemed uncomfortable, and comforted her first, "Lianzhou, this is Beiping, you, a student, don't wear such ostentatious clothes when you go out, and be careful of being watched." Just as Lianzhou was about to argue, Xiaozhen frowned at him, glanced at Huiqiu again, and he fell silent.Xiaozhen went on to say: "There are three things. First, Lianzhou moved out of the school to live. It's okay to tell the family that you want to rent a house outside, or you can keep it from the family. You can see how convenient it is. I will take care of the house for you. The newspaper alley not far from your school. The two of you live together, pretending to be husband and wife. Second, you must use aliases in all your party liaison work to facilitate concealment. You can decide on other occasions. Third, What you are now participating in is the work of the Propaganda Department, and you are not allowed to have any intersection with the work of the Social Work Department, that is to say, you are not allowed to participate in any student activities in the school." As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Zhou became anxious, "Why?" Xiao Zhen gave him a look: "This is for your safety. The situation of student organizations is complicated. Once someone has a problem, it cannot be involved in our line, so we are resolutely not allowed to participate in student activities." Lianzhou could only nod: "I understand." Then Xiaozhen said: "In your spare time, you two can listen to games, watch movies in the garden, and let the neighbors around you confirm your relationship. Also, Lianzhou should try to keep a low profile at school, in life, in clothes, and in academic performance. Be careful to keep a distance from the professor." Lian Zhou immediately twisted his facial features together, "Auntie, the report card will be sent home, you know my mother and second uncle. Before I came to Peiping, mother You called me to the ancestral hall and ordered me to, didn’t you push me into the fire pit?”

Xiaozhen couldn't help laughing: "Okay, how hard is your mother willing to do to you? Don't think I don't know! If you can't even do this well, you should stop participating in this kind of work." Lian Zhou ate a large piece of steak angrily, chewed with all his strength and said, "Got it." Xiaozhen went on to say, "Hui Qiu knows the specific work content, and she will pass it on to you. The dormitory of the school does not require Retire, you can also go back to live occasionally, and not a single word of organizational documents is allowed in the dormitory." Lianzhou nodded: "I know, I know, the three caves of the cunning rabbit."
