The ancients shocked the old feudal society when they watched modern women raising babies.

Chapter 118 Remembering History: Memorial Hall of the Victims

Since Wang Yizhi proposed this resolution for him, he just went along with it: "Then leave this matter to Aiqing. You can make a detailed plan and give it to me. However, you have to remember that the ancestors of these old families have questions about the imperial court from time to time. Don’t neglect your meritorious deeds.”

Yun Chenyu wanted both. He wanted to uproot the family power, but he also didn't want to bear the infamy. It was best to leave these matters to the new ministers who had no foundation. If those old-school families wanted to hold grudges, they would fight with their new faction. He just needs to reap the benefits.

"I am determined to live up to the emperor's expectations." Wang Yizhi was very excited after being appointed, but he also restrained himself and could not let those old families take advantage of him.

After receiving the new policy in the court, everyone looked at the sky again to see if anything new had happened.

At this time, An Ran and his party had already got off the plane and were arranged in a hotel by Zhou Xichen and his wife.

"Xiao Ran, please put your luggage away first. Don't pack it up yet. Let's go back and catch lunch." Zhou Xichen urged An Ran. This hotel is very close to her home, and this wedding banquet was also held in this hotel.

The Zhou Xichen family arranged for relatives and friends who came from afar to be here so that everyone could attend the wedding.

An Ran looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, dragged the big suitcase, opened the door and threw it in without even looking at it.

"Put it away and let's go."

Even Zhou Xichen was stunned by this set of operations. What else could she say, she could only silently give An Ran a thumbs up.

Zhou Xichen's father's car had been waiting at the door of the hotel to pick up people. Several people didn't even stay in the hotel for ten minutes before they were seamlessly taken to Zhou Xichen's home.

Zhou Xichen is an only child. When she is not at home, there are only two parents at home.

When An Ran entered, the house was not as deserted as expected. The whole house was decorated with joy and was quite warm.

"Come in and turn on the air conditioner. You must be tired from the journey. The last dish will be served soon." Zhou Xichen's mother was busy in the kitchen.

"Auntie, you have all worked hard. It's really troublesome for you to prepare such sumptuous dishes." With a large table of dishes, An Ran knew at a glance that Auntie must have put a lot of effort into making them.

"It's not hard work. It's hard work for you to come all the way. I don't know what you like to eat, so auntie made a few more." Zhou Xichen's mother is very similar to Zhou Xichen, with a carefree personality, enthusiasm and sincerity.

"You're welcome, treat it like your own family. Tell us what you want to eat these days and we'll prepare it for you. Since Chen Chen went to school, our family has been just the two of us. It hasn't been as lively as it is now for a long time. Your aunt is also happy. "Zhou Xichen's father poured tea for everyone and went to the kitchen to help.

As a guest, An Ran was naturally embarrassed to keep her host so busy. She was sitting leisurely in the living room watching TV. When she was about to stand up and go to the kitchen to start some work, Zhou Xichen grabbed her.

"You are a guest. If you sit here, someone will come." Zhou Xichen pointed at her husband secretly.

The young man put down the gift and went straight to the kitchen: "Auntie, this dish is my specialty, I'll fry it."

An Ran saw that there were three people crowded into the small kitchen. She guessed that she would not be able to help and could only take up space, so she sat down and chatted with Zhou Xichen: "What a good charioteer!"

[Hahaha, when a son-in-law cooks at his parents’ house, it is probably only a Chinese woman who has this kind of treatment. 】

[You women are immobile and gentlemen are far away in the kitchen. How can men go to the kitchen? 】

[Bah, look at these Chinese men, why are they not gentlemen? If you want to be lazy, just say so. 】

The men of Tianyun Kingdom cannot tell anyone about their suffering, and the men of China are not willing to let others live.

The meal was served quickly. Zhaozhao was quite accustomed to Chinese cuisine. He was not picky about food wherever he went, and he ate every bite with grace and appetite.

Because Zhou Xichen was pregnant with a new life, everyone in their family paid great attention to the child. Everyone at the table was fascinated by Zhaozhao's eating habits.

The love baby of my dreams, definitely the love baby of my dreams!

"Zhaozhao, this is nutritious, eat more." Zhou Xichen's mother put the most nutritious dish in front of Zhaozhao.

"Zhaozhao, try this. My uncle made it, so you should try it too." Zhou Xichen's husband spared no effort in recommending the dishes he cooked.

"Thank you Grandma Chen, thank you Uncle Jiang. The dishes you cooked are so delicious, I can't even eat them." Zhao Zhao is used to making people happy, and with just one sentence, everyone present is rushing to give her big red envelopes.

"Hahaha, eat more, eat more, and we will give you a big red envelope when the wedding comes."

"Xiaoran, how do you educate your baby? Zhaozhao is so cute. I really want to steal him home."

Zhou Xichen stared at Zhaozhao like a nymphomaniac: "Baby Zhaozhao, what color sack do you like? Auntie will use a pink sack to bring you back to my house, okay?"

"Ah? Is Auntie a flower girl?" Zhao Zhao looked frightened and hurriedly hid in An Ran's arms.

Zhao Zhao really felt that this aunt in front of her was quite strange. First, she asked her to visit her home more often, hoping that the baby in her belly would look like her, and now she wanted to steal her with a sack. It was so scary.

"Oh, Chen Chen, stop joking, you scared Zhao Zhao." Zhou Xichen's mother interrupted Zhou Xichen's joke with a smile.

"I didn't teach her. Her parents taught her well and the child is smart." An Ran picked up a piece of braised pork. Aunt Chen's craftsmanship was really good.

Everyone knew that Zhao Zhao's parents had some accidents and that the An Ran family had just adopted her. They all thought Zhao Zhao was an orphan and were afraid that she would be sad, so they stopped continuing the topic.

Someone praised Zhaozhao so much, and Lin Jing'er's face turned red and red.

She was only trained according to the education method of the daughter of the Tianyun Kingdom. She always felt that Zhao Zhao was out of touch with the manners of a royal daughter. She did not expect that Zhao Zhao was so popular in the eyes of the Chinese people.

Lin Jing'er began to reflect on herself. In the past, she was too strict with Zhaozhao. She always wanted to fit her into a mold that was not suitable for her. She would not discover her advantages. She was really unqualified as a mother.

The lunch on the marquee was still going on, and everyone changed a light topic for Zhaozhao: "There are still a few days until the wedding. Xiaoran and Zhaozhao, you guys have fun in Nancheng these days. We have many famous attractions in Nancheng."

An Ran nodded: "Yes, I'm going to take Zhao Zhao to the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Compatriots in Nancheng."

During the invasion of China, Japanese pirates plundered Nancheng, resulting in numerous casualties among compatriots. In order to mourn the ancestors and remember history, the Nancheng Victims Compatriots Memorial Hall was established.

"Auntie, where are we going?" Zhaozhao was escorted out by An Ran early in the morning.

"Take you to experience history." An Ran carried a small bag and went out in simple clothes.

"Auntie, won't you go with us?" Zhao Zhao looked at Zhou Xichen who was resting on the sofa in the living room after dinner.

"Zhaozhao, auntie won't go with you. Auntie used to go there often, but now she has a baby, so it's not easy to go there. You and your aunt should go and come back early." Zhou Xichen waved her hand, it's so hot today, she won't Going out.

[What kind of place is it? You can’t go there while you’re pregnant. Is it a bad place? 】

The people of Tianyun Kingdom began to make their feudal and superstitious speculations.

Lin Jing'er couldn't help but feel a little worried as she watched the barrages. Then she thought that An Ran wouldn't put Zhao Zhao in danger, so she didn't say anything more.

"Auntie, why can't you come with us if you're pregnant with the baby?" Zhao Zhao and An Ran asked quietly while changing their shoes at the entrance.

"The memorial hall we are going to records a very tragic history. Chinese people tend to get emotional easily when they go there. A pregnant aunt's mood swings are too high, which will affect the baby in her belly." An Ran patiently explained to Zhao Zhao, so she From the beginning, there was no plan for Zhou Xichen to accompany him.

Zhao Zhao nodded in understanding, but the people from Tianyun Kingdom were aroused.

"Wait a minute. It's a hot day and let uncle call you a car down there." Aunt Chen poked her head out of the kitchen.

Due to the number restriction, Uncle Zhou's car could not go out. Uncle Zhou was changing clothes in the house, and An Ran refused directly: "No, uncle and aunt, the two of us can just take the subway there. There are quite a lot of people going there during the summer vacation. , there should be traffic jams, it’s more convenient for us to take the subway.”

Aunt Chen thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case, so she did not force it, but just told them again and again: "Then you go early and come back early, and call Chen Chen if you need anything.

"Okay." An Ran and Zhao Zhao finally walked out from the warm reception.

They both got up early today. They were woken up by a call from Zhou Xichen early in the morning, asking them to go from the hotel to home for dinner. If An Ran was alone, she would never get up. She just thought that Zhao Zhao was growing. Forced myself to get up and go out to Zhou Xichen's house.

When An Ran led Zhao Zhao to the entrance of the memorial hall, the sun had already risen, but the originally hot and sweaty weather was much cooler at the entrance.

[What exactly is this place? Such a big venue? 】

[These statues do not look like current Chinese people, nor do they look like ancient Chinese people similar to our Tianyun Kingdom. 】

【ah! I remembered that these statues were figures from the Chinese struggle period where they were carved. 】

[Could this be a martyr’s tomb or something? 】

An Ran and Zhao Zhao were not in a hurry to enter the venue, but walked around the outside of the venue. The venue was surrounded by a pool. There were statues of the victims in the pool. The base of the statue was engraved with one after another heartbreaking deeds. .

An Ran held Zhao Zhao and stopped in front of each statue to read the words on it.

"What kind of people died?" Zhao Zhao didn't recognize many words, so when he saw such a simple word, he was so excited that he read it out.

"The family is ruined!" An Ran knelt down, pulled Zhao Zhao to the statue, and taught her to read word by word.

This is the crime committed by the Japanese pirates here back then, killing children, burying people alive, and robbing women. Burning, killing, looting and all kinds of evil are committed in this land.

An Ran introduced the origin of this memorial hall to Zhao Zhao seriously. Zhao Zhao, who was smiling happily, immediately retracted the raised corners of his mouth and said angrily: "These devils are so vicious!"

[So this is the origin of this place. 】

[Hey, this is because the gap in national power is too big. China was really suffering at that time, and the people who suffered were the ordinary people. 】

[I can increasingly understand why the Chinese people support that great man. It is not easy to enable poor and backward countries to win and create a foundation for a better life for future generations. 】

[I don’t understand why China set up this place as a memorial hall. Why must people across the country always remember that period of history? That period of history was so humiliating, wouldn't it be good to forget it? 】

As soon as this barrage came out, the people of Tianyun Kingdom fell into deep thought. Chaotian Continent had a history of massacres by enemy troops, but the authorities and courts generally regarded it as a shame, and future generations did not dare to mention it.

This is the first time that China has built a memorial hall for people across the country to pay their respects.

"Zhaozhao, do you recognize these characters?" An Ran asked Zhaozhao, pointing to the two rows of large characters carved on the entrance of the memorial hall.

Zhao Zhao shook her head. There were too many strokes and it was too complicated. She hadn't learned that yet.

"Remember history and cherish peace." An Ran jumped out of his mouth one word at a time, allowing Zhao Zhao to hear it more clearly.

After Zhaozhao heard it, he pointed at each word and read it slowly, but he actually learned it all.

【Remember history and cherish peace. . . The Chinese people have great righteousness in their hearts! 】

[That is to say, in a country with such a history, who wouldn’t want to take revenge? After all, it is such a bloody feud. 】

[It is estimated that their great people do not want future generations to be warlike because of hatred. They want them to develop themselves, not to be warlike, and guide them to love peace. 】

An Ran didn't respond too much to what was said on the marquee, and led Zhao Zhao into the hall.

Before coming, the people of Tianyun Kingdom, who were still in the mood to watch the excitement, all gasped and their expressions became solemn after An Ran entered the venue.

"Auntie, what's inside here? Why is it all filled with dirt?" Zhao Zhao pointed to the fenced pit.

The environment inside the clubhouse is dim, and the lights are deliberately dimmed to accentuate the stressful atmosphere here.

On the wall were photos of the moment when atrocities were being committed, photos of heroes, and some written introductions to that period of history. Zhao Zhao could not read the words and glanced at the photos in a hurry. He was too scared to take another look.

So he looked at the exhibition pit, and An Ran looked at the place where Zhaozhao pointed. In the dim environment, and because it was blocked by the cordon from a distance, he couldn't see the whole picture. There were some white bones mixed with the loess faintly exposed in the loess.

Different from the horror of bones and bones in horror movies, An Ran and the people around him just watched quietly, without any fear, only pain.

"There are the bones of the compatriots who were killed." An Ran calmed down and then slowly opened his mouth to answer Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao didn't understand that period of history, so he was scared when he heard the bones, and curiously looked in that direction carefully.

When Zhao Zhao really saw it from the soil, she was so scared that she wanted to hug An Ran's thigh and ask for comfort. However, when she saw the adults around her holding tissues to wipe their tears, she held back and only held An Ran's hand tightly. .

There is a stone tablet in the museum with the number of victims engraved on it.

[A total of three hundred thousand people! How can the Chinese people not feel sad! 】
