Plane Small Bookstore [System]

2012, autumn.The sky is clear and the autumn is crisp, which is a rare good weather.

Liang Meiru sat in front of the dressing table in the bedroom, carefully looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar old man reflected in the mirror.

The skin is loose, the eyes are cloudy, the bags under the eyes are drooping, the face is full of wrinkles and age spots, the dry white hair is tied into a small bun behind the head, and the whole body exudes a decayed and old atmosphere from the inside out.

Is this her?

How is she so old?

She still remembers how she looked when she was 16 years old, with snow-white skin, black hair like clouds, clear eyes, and youthful beauty.At that time, she was a carefree, ignorant and rich lady, eating, drinking and having fun every day, her biggest worry was being robbed of the limelight by a talented woman.But now she can't even remember the name of that talented girl.

Now thinking of her first 16 years, she couldn't help being surprised, so it was her?Had she ever been that shallow and ignorant?

The sound of the car's engine and trivial noises could be faintly heard outside the window. Without looking at her, she knew that the yard was already full of cars, and the living room was already full of guests.

Because today is her ninetieth birthday.

Outside the door are powerful politicians, resolute soldiers, wealthy businessmen, and scholars who are full of peaches and plums, and now they are all here for her.

Although she is old and frail, and her beauty is gone, she is the unique protagonist today.

It's worth it for a human being to be able to do this.

She stood up, carefully smoothed the folds of the big red cheongsam, straightened her waist, and showed an elegant and reserved smile in front of the mirror, which could vaguely see her youthful demeanor.

She pushed open the door of the bedroom and slowly walked into the living room. Her whole body was elegant and classic, as if she had traveled from the Republic of China. The elegance of her whole body did not disappear because of her age, but became more mellow and charming like old wine.

"Mom, happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday grandma!"

"The old birthday star is here! Happy birthday, old ancestor!"

"Green Qi thousand-year-old tree, walking on the staff in the spring and autumn forever; the moon is a pond of lotus, and the sun and the moon are long. Happy birthday, Mr. Liang!"

"I wish the old chief a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

Countless greetings pierced her ears for a while, and she responded to them one by one with a smile.

There are not only her descendants here, but also her students, and students' students.Her eyes passed through the middle of the dark crowd, and suddenly fixed on the face of a young man.

This was undoubtedly a fresh face, Liang Meiru had never seen him at a birthday banquet before.But his face made Liang Meiru very familiar.

He looks gentle and handsome, gentle and refined, a typical appearance of a scholar.Liang Meiru thought for a long time but couldn't find any memory related to him in his mind.

"Young man, what's your name? Have we met somewhere?" She couldn't help asking.

"We met a long time ago, but you may not remember." The young man smiled slightly, looking at her with nostalgic eyes, "My name is Le Jing."

'Looking. Liang Meiru slowly chewed the name in her mouth, something flashed in her mind like lightning and flint, she was so startled that her color changed instantly, "Are you Lejing?!"

Liang Xiao had never seen Grandma Zeng in such a mess. Seeing her pale face, she suspected that she would faint in the next moment. She quickly patted Grandma Zeng's back: "Grandma Zeng, are you okay?"

Not only her, but the others also stood up, surrounded Liang Meiru, scrambling to ask for warmth.A few others looked at Le Jing who was separated by the crowd with suspicious and vigilant eyes.

Le Jing touched his nose helplessly, he didn't expect Liang Meiru to remember himself.After all, they only met a few times back then.

He stayed in this plane from 1938 to 1942, and witnessed with his own eyes how China turned from defense to offense, how it struggled to seize lost ground from Japan, and how it won the war with an overwhelming advantage.

He, and those lucky enough, finally waited for the dawn when the black mist dissipated.

The war is over, leaving a country devastated.

But he knows that this country will eventually rise from the ruins, he knows how this nation will be reborn, and he knows how hardworking and brave the people of this country will be.

So he sent a letter to the nation.The above describes the modern history of China in its original form.Now that history has changed, he only hopes that this letter can provide our party with some experience of success or failure, so that China can avoid some detours.Then he left here.

It has been 70 years since he came here again. Things have changed and people have changed. Most of the people he knew have left, leaving only cold words in the history books, telling future generations about that legendary past.

To his relief, China in this time and space has gone through many historical inflection points, and it is completely different from the earth.

Without the stagnation or even retrogression of national development caused by the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, this time China has taken a lot of divergent paths. The level of economic and technological development has been ahead of China on earth for more than 20 years. The economic aggregate is similar to that of the United States. Experts have predicted that at least in In the next year, China will fully catch up with the United States and enter the middle stage of socialism ahead of schedule.

Although Liang Meiru was not familiar with Le Jing, she was the only person Le Jing knew who was still alive, so Le Jing successfully sneaked into Liang Meiru's birthday party through Victor's obfuscation technique.

Liang Meiru didn't know how many storms and waves she had seen in her life, so she quickly calmed down, waved away Liang Xiao who was supporting her, and quickly walked over the crowd to Le Jing, frowning and looking at his face carefully.

Slowly, her brows furrowed, and she looked at Le Jing with tears and smiles, and said with trembling lips, "It's you. You're back."

The young man lowered his eyebrows softly, and smiled calmly: "Well, I'm back." He asked calmly, "Happy birthday. How have you been all these years?"

Liang Meiru was startled by the tenderness and tenderness in the young man's eyes. It has been a long time since anyone looked at her like this.It seems that to the young man, she is not the respected Mr. Liang, but a little girl who needs his care.

But in front of him, she was indeed a little girl.

She didn't expect to see him again.

When they met for the first time, she was only 16 years old, and he was just a bookstore owner.Although he later started a business with his father in partnership, to her he was just an insignificant passer-by.So in the end she didn't even know when he disappeared.

She really understood the importance of this man when she was 53 years old.

She already held a high position in the party that year and had the right to view some top-secret information.

But if it wasn't for her father's relationship, she would not be qualified to view these materials.This information has always been known only to a few people in the party, and it has been the biggest secret since the founding of New China.

That is, in this document, she re-saw the bookstore owner who had long been blurred in her memory, and thus learned his terrible identity buried underwater.

time traveler.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in the Republic of China, the economy, culture and technology took off after the war. Behind every revival decision made by the country, there is his shadow.

Not many people know his name, and his contribution is not even recorded in the history books, but he is indeed the uncrowned king hidden in the shadow of China.

He gave 20th century China a chance to cheat.Since then, the country has completely entered the fast lane, and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable.

She lost her composure just now, many people here are human beings, and she has gone through countless circles in her mind at this moment, she must not show any flaws!

This man must not exist!

She touched his face, with a sad smile on her face: "You look like an old friend of mine. Even the name is similar."

After a pause, she answered Le Jing's question just now with the calm attitude of an elderly person: "I'm fine. There are a lot of children and grandchildren, life is rich, and there are so many filial children." Her nostalgic eyes looked at those familiar Sweeping across her face, the smile was extremely proud, even the smartest person could not see any flaws on her face, "The most important thing is that I have realized my ideal, so I have no regrets."

Le Jing asked: "What is your ideal?"

"National freedom, people's liberation, and equality between men and women." The old man Su raised his eyebrows, his eyes were as clear and moving as when he was a girl, "I am the successor of Mr. He's ideal, and Mr. He's ideal is my ideal. Now I take this ideal It has been passed on, I have countless successors, and my ideal has been realized."

"Mr. He is Mr. He Xiaowen?" Liang Xiao couldn't help interjecting.

"Yes, it is Mr. He Xiaowen, she used to be my teacher."

When the famous name He Xiaowen was mentioned, everyone present couldn't help but be in awe.

Back then, He Xiaowen blew the clarion call for women's liberation with an article "Fucking Three Obediences and Four Virtues", and immediately there were many responders.Under her call, countless women devoted themselves to that tragic war, and played an unparalleled role in the post-war reconstruction work, and practiced the idea of ​​equal rights.Later generations of historians generally regard Mr. He Xiaowen as the spiritual leader and mentor of the feminist revolution.

Now that she has come to this point, Liang Meiru looked at the curious eyes of the juniors, smiled lightly, and slowly told them about her experiences over the years.

In the end, she looked at the girls in the family with a warning: "Since ancient times, society's requirements for women have been much looser. As a man, he must be motivated and support his family. Now it is even more required to have a house and a car, while women only need Dress up nicely and marry a good man. The society encourages women not to struggle, encourages women to be lazy, greedy for vanity, superficial and ignorant, this is a trap, this is a trap!" The man's embarrassing expression revealed a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, "So compared with men, women are more likely to be inactive, more likely to degenerate, and more likely to retreat to the comfort zone and become rice bugs attached to men."

She took a deep look at the young girls, taking in all their expressions of thinking or bewilderment or doubt or disapproval. She sighed and warned earnestly as a pioneer: "The so-called women Independence is not only financially independent, but also ideologically independent. I have done everything I can, and the next step is up to you."

Le Jing looked at the worried old man and said with relief: "You have fought the good fight, you have finished the course, you have kept the faith, and from now on, you will be crowned with righteousness. Save it for you.①"

Liang Meiru was stunned for a moment, and said cryptically: "This sentence, you and I encourage each other."

Although the world will never know the name of the young man in front of him.But in her heart, there will always be a crown of righteousness reserved for him.

Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Liang Xiao was a little confused.She took the initiative to replace the old person in Grandma Zeng's mouth with her first love, and secretly wondered in her heart whether this handsome guy is the offspring of her first love?But now when she saw the interaction between the two, she didn't feel like it.Based on her understanding of Grandma Zeng, although she tried her best to conceal it, she could still see that she respected the youth.With Grandma Zeng's qualifications, there are very few people in China who can make her respect. Who is this young man?

Le Jing stood up, and his smile gradually merged with the one in Liang Meiru's vague memory, "Since you are doing well, then I should go."

Liang Meiru was taken aback, and wanted to persuade them to stay, but found that this was actually the most suitable ending for the two of them.

She also stood up, with a lost smile: "I'll see you off."

Le Jing waved his hand: "There is no reason for the elders to send the younger ones." He looked at Liang Meiru tenderly, "Goodbye."

Liang Meiru understood, she replied in a low voice: "Goodbye."

Both of them understood that this farewell was a farewell forever.The so-called one period and one meeting, but that's all.

Liang Xiao saw that after the young man left, Grandma Zeng sat alone in a chair and fell silent.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, staring at the lawsuit with their eyes, and chose to chat about other irrelevant topics while tacit understanding.

Even those big figures in the outside world don't dare to disturb Grandma Zeng. After all, Grandma Zeng has a better temper now, but she has a lot of power. These students have been scolded by her before. Seeing that she is in a bad mood at this time, naturally Don't dare to touch the mold.

"Sorry, because after meeting an old friend today, it is inevitable that I lost my composure." Liang Meiru walked out of the silence, with the same smile blooming on the corner of her mouth again, and it seemed that she had recovered her previous spirit.

How dare the people here blame Liang Meiru, they all naturally said that it would not be a problem.

"Xiao." Liang Meiru looked at her most satisfied granddaughter, and said softly, "Sing."

"What song is it?"

Liang Meiru closed her eyes slightly, and said solemnly: ""Tianyao Zhonghua", the volume is the highest."

Let this song see that person off.

"How lucky I am to be born in your arms, my blood flows, your magic and beauty..."

As soon as Le Jing walked out of the courtyard, an affectionate singing came from behind.

"God bless China, God bless China

Can't be crushed by wind and rain, bloom in suffering

I sincerely pray, God bless China

May you be safe and prosperous

God bless China, God bless China

Auspicious clouds float everywhere, glory spreads to the world

I sincerely pray, God bless China

May you be safe and prosperous

I sincerely pray, God bless China

This is my deepest expression to you..."

He raised his head slowly, tomorrow was high, the weather was fine and sunny.

God bless China.

The young man closed his eyes and showed a pious and peaceful smile, and said silently: "God bless China."

The wind and rain cannot be overwhelmed, and the suffering blooms.

The author has something to say:
