Costume Mountains and Rivers

The meal at noon is all local snacks, which can be called quite rich. A fresh fish brought by Shen Peinan was really made into West Lake vinegar fish. In addition, there were fried rice cakes, small wontons, lotus root slices mixed with sugar and glutinous rice chicken. The four of them had lunch listening to the sound of the wind and trees, and it was very pleasant.

It's just that the two protagonists of this meal were not happy. Shen Shuzhu refused to accommodate Lu Wanyi, and Lu Wanyi's expression was only indifferent. No matter how Mo Qinghe used his talent for socializing, the two just ignored each other. He was in a posture of breaking up, and he kept trying to squeeze Mo Qinghe who was caught in the middle as a pumping bag. Afterwards, he refused to speak, and the only sound in the small room was the slight sound of chopsticks hitting the dishes.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Peinan was finally worn out by the awkward atmosphere at the dinner table. He slammed his chopsticks and stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he saw an imported radio in the corner and went over to turn on the switch.

There was a little sound in the room, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Mo Qinghe no longer cared about the awkward couple opposite, and lowered her head to eat her own rice, pulling the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, and her thoughts drifted far away.

He has been thinking about the conflicts between the two parties for the past two days, and he couldn't figure it out after much deliberation, so he sighed and said that fortunately, the organization is busy forming an alliance between the two parties. Li Mosheng told him that as long as the negotiations between the representatives are successful, the two parties will reach a consensus In order to express sincerity, the tasks of many underground workers will be temporarily put into hibernation, and he and Shen Peinan can be classified as a united front, and they can breathe a sigh of relief.

He was staring at the fish on the plate in a daze when he suddenly heard a message from the radio. Arrest and investigation.

Mo Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. While pretending to eat vegetables, she listened to the sound on the radio with her ears pricked up.

The news broadcast was very brief, and the specific process was not mentioned. Shen Peinan frowned, remembered another incident, and said casually: "There is an interesting anecdote in the past two days. I heard that Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang will be transferred to Guangzhou. .”

He spoke very easily, Mo Qinghe's hand trembled, and almost dropped the chopsticks on the ground.I heard from Li Mosheng that Zhang Xueliang advocated active resistance against Japan. This year, he was fighting fiercely with the Northwest Red Army. The alliance between the two parties was imminent. How could there be news of a sudden transfer in the near future?

He tried his best to keep his face calm and asked, "Why?"

"Community." Shen Peinan smiled meaningfully, "The fall of the Northeast caused him a lot of losses, and it was hard for him to gain a foothold in the Northwest. As a result, the Northeast Army had no food and no pay, and this trip was completely over. .”

Mo Qing grabbed Shen Peinan's wrist, and said in shock: "That can't be done, it must not be done, what's the point at this time, whether it's possible to share or not, because of this kind of thing, it's not about the end of the Northeast Army, it's about the end of the whole of China !"

He couldn't eat anymore, and he thought he had to return to Beiping as soon as possible. This news was a hundred times more dangerous than the so-called surveillance of Shen's family and win over Shen Piaoping. He had to convey it to Li Mosheng in the shortest possible time and inform the Northwest to prepare early.

Shen Peinan was not worried at all, and said unhurriedly: "Why are you in a hurry, Lao Jiang is just pretending to be smart, the Northeast Army is an old warlord, no matter how miserable it is, it only recognizes Zhang as the leader. Jiang pushed them into a hurry, and he will look good at that time."

Mo Qinghe wanted to ask him how likely this matter was, but seeing that he looked confident, he knew that he didn't like being questioned, so he swallowed the words on his lips again, and gently put the chopsticks on the table He kowtowed, fell silent for a while, and sighed: "At this time, the chairman of the committee still wants to fight to the death with the Communist Party. I really don't know why."

Shen Shuzhu looked around the faces of the two, feeling a little disgusted with their topic, and said, "Have a good meal, and you want to talk about politics again?"

Shen Peinan ignored him at all, and whispered to Mo Qinghe: "Northeast and North China have long been unable to defend, and it is not difficult to fight all the way from Shanghai to Chongqing along the Yangtze River in the southeast. If the situation is unfavorable, China may only be left in the future. The Northwest and Southwest are both the borders of the Communist Party, and now the Northeast Army wants to support the Communist Party and form an alliance with them." He tapped the table with the end of his chopsticks, "How can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Lao Jiang's heart."

Mo Qinghe has always been full of confidence in the alliance. Hearing what Shen Peinan said, he was suddenly very depressed. He lost his appetite at all. He went to fetch a basin of water, washed his hands, soaked the handkerchief, and twisted a handkerchief Passed the handle to Shen Peinan to wipe his hands, and shook his shoulders from behind, as if to relieve the irritability in his heart, he beat twice and then pinched until Shen Peinan was annoyed, clicked his tongue, put his arms around his waist, and said : "You really like that Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang. Why, do you think he is a handsome man? He also likes to listen to operas, or I will send you to him?"

Mo Qinghe was not in the mood to joke with him, and his expression was very worried: "At least he dared to openly advocate the resistance to Japan, unlike your school of this school and that school all day long."

Shen Peinan slapped his ass angrily, and said to Shen Shuzhu: "Look at the people I raise, they take pleasure in belittling me every day." Looking at Mo Qinghe with interest, "You treat him as I really want to support Mudleg, he lost the Northeast by himself, and all his belongings are in the Northeast. Lao Jiang has not fought, so he has never been able to go back..." He shook his hand and said with a straight face: "Forget it, anyway, you It’s just that the parents are doing well, so I’ll ask someone to write a letter of introduction, let’s go.”

Mo Qinghe thought about the first half of Shen Peinan's sentence, automatically filtered the last sentence, and sighed long, Shen Shuzhu didn't want to see them flirting, waved her hand to let Lu Wanyi clean up the dishes, leaned back, He took out the folding fan and fanned it twice, and said comfortably: "Suppressing those muddy legs is a matter of two sentences, and then it is time to fight the Japanese and the Japanese, and it is not too late to build schools and factories to start trade. In the end, 10,000+ Central Army fought It has been four or five years and I haven't settled it, leaving a disaster to disturb people's ears..."

Shen Peinan heard that his words meant to accuse him of being unfavorable in his work, and said to himself that you fan the fan every day, and you have never seen the Communist Party be round or flat, not as good as one-tenth of Mo Qinghe's, Picking up a teacup with peony twigs on the table, drank the tea in one gulp, knocked heavily on the table, and said to Mo Qinghe: "You don't like to debate, you go and talk to him."

Mo Qinghe had a lot of things in her heart, she didn't even understand the beliefs she had insisted on for many years, she was full of frustration, and also full of worries about the prospect of the alliance between the two parties, she was not in the mood to argue with others in order to pinch Shen Peinan's shoulders Because of this, the two hands that could hold a gun and kill someone pinched him so hard that he gasped, and said in a bad voice, "Let's not talk about four or five years, if this goes on for ten years, we won't be able to finish the fight."

He supported Shen Peinan's shoulders, and said casually: "Who knows what you are thinking all day long, everyone thinks that their views are correct, and they bear the burden of humiliation, and at the same time they want to maintain their power and make money to feed, drink, whore and gamble for the whole family." , beware of my own people dealing with the Japanese, and in the end nothing was done.”

He lost his temper and chattered endlessly: "You have thought of all kinds of strategies, but no one cares about the lives of the people. Farmers who pay rent will starve to death, and those who dig coal for the Japanese will die of exhaustion. Do a little business to catch up. Strike the market, earn some money and pay all the taxes, when I was young, Liu Chu and I wanted to buy a piece of pea yellow to eat, and we had to save money for a whole year."

Shen Shuzhu couldn't utter a single word, and looked at Shen Peinan in surprise, Shen Peinan raised his hand, but Mo Qinghe pushed it away: "You have everything, it's up to you whether you win or not in the fight with the Japanese. What, but do you know how anxious the people in the enemy-occupied area are every day?"

"You suppress the communists, just hand them over. They are not afraid. Anyway, they will die at home, and they will starve to death with their wives and children. At least they have a thought when they come out. Anyway, they don't know anything about politics and economics. They just think that one day they will be able to After communism, everyone has enough to eat, and you don’t have to be bullied anymore. You just use cannonballs to fight for another ten years, can the poor kill them all?”

The more he talked, the more wronged he became, and he kicked Shen Peinan's chair hard. Shen Peinan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Shen Shuzhu: "Look, I sent him to school, and he just learned how to run on me..."

Mo Qinghe walked out with red eyes, just stepped out of the threshold, suddenly turned around, pointed at Shen Peinan who was chasing up and said: "Don't bother me, I was sent by the Communist Party!"

He strode into the path between the tea tents, didn't know the way, so he had to cover his head and walk around. Before he went far, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps behind him. Shen Peinan's arm was across his chest, and he pulled back. Like a pincer, Mo Qinghe hit his ribs with his elbow, and kicked his legs forward indiscriminately, unable to break free no matter how hard he tried.After wrestling for a while, he gave up on himself and stopped moving. He took off a pure gold birdcage with tassels hanging from his side, turned his head and threw it on Shen Peinan's chest, and said angrily: "My surname is Shen, I am exhausted." No more, quit!"

The cage of the little bird fell to the ground and rolled a few times in the mud. Shen Peinan didn't even look at it. He pressed his hands on Mo Qinghe's shoulders. There was a smile in his dark eyes. After holding back for a long time, he finally burst out laughing. He couldn't stop laughing, he patted Mo Qinghe's shoulder with one hand as if he was praising him, tilted his head, covered his eyes with the other hand, and was about to burst into tears: "Mo, Xiao Mo, tell me, I How, how, how did you provoke you?"

Mo Qinghe held his breath in his heart, and he felt much more comfortable when he said it. Seeing that Shen Peinan didn't care about him, he felt a little embarrassed, turned his face away from him, and said embarrassingly: "I'm not angry with you. "

Shen Peinan laughed so hard that she tried to speak twice, but was choked back by the laughter. She waved her hands at Mo Qinghe, rubbed her sore cheeks, and finally succeeded the last time, wrapping her hand around Mo Qinghe's shoulders , bumped against his forehead, and hummed heavily: "Good job, I'll just say that when I meet the chairman next time, and I'll piss him off."

After finishing speaking, he laughed to himself, Mo Qinghe waited for a long time without stopping, pushed him away vigorously, turned around and left again, Shen Peinan yelled twice, caught up with him and took him into his arms, Turning over his body, holding him in his arms, he said with a smile: "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, I surrender."

The Longjing tea garden was fragrant everywhere, and the afternoon sun made people feel warm all over. Mo Qinghe lowered her head, buried her head in Shen Peinan's chest and rubbed it for a while, and when she raised her face again, her hair became a messy bird's nest.He looked at Shen Peinan's well-defined face, at his rough skin that was reflected in the sun, and raised his hand to touch his eyelashes.

Mo Qinghe's breathing trembled, Shen Peinan didn't blink, his reflection was reflected in the dark pupils, and he stroked down the bridge of his nose until he touched his lips, vaguely Feeling Hu Zha's chin, he finally pressed his palm against his warm neck, and the depression in his chest was exhausted. Mo Qinghe sighed and said softly: "Let's go back to Beiping, I want to Home, miss our kitten."

Shen Peinan thought for a while and said, "Okay, go back and pack your things, and leave the day after tomorrow."

Mo Qinghe was taken aback: "The day after tomorrow?"

Shen Peinan frowned, thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Well, I don't have time tomorrow, so I'll find a way to give a little word to that young marshal you admire."

Mo Qinghe raised her head abruptly, and stared at him blankly. Shen Peinan saw that he showed such a stupefied expression again, and pushed his forehead. Mo Qinghe touched his head and grinned.

He followed behind Shen Peinan, walked along the path of the tea garden to the small courtyard, listening to the singing of birds and tea songs in the mountains, he suddenly felt extremely relaxed. He didn't know where this feeling of unloading a heavy burden came from. After thinking about it, probably due to the speculation he heard just now, he thought that if the Northeast Army really took action, the contradictory and painful days he was living now would soon come to an end.

Since the date of return was confirmed, the last day in Shen's house was not difficult. At noon the next day, the whole family had a family dinner to see Shen Peinan off. Apart from the family, no other guests were invited. The wife came to have a face-to-face meeting. As usual, she scolded Mo Qinghe for a meal. After the meal, Shen Piaoping treated guests to a round of eight rounds. Mo Qinghe was in a good mood and was very unlucky. In one afternoon, she smiled and lost half a year's allowance .

He was actually a little afraid of meeting Shen Piaoping. Li Mosheng asked him to pay attention to the movements of the fourth lady of the Shen family, but Mo Qinghe was well aware of the pain that members of the same family belonged to opposing parties. Out of selfishness, he decided to avoid this task. He felt that This incident itself is not very authentic, so there is not much guilt.

Two days later, at 06:30 in the afternoon, he and Shen Peinan walked out of Qianmen Station and returned to the Zhou mansion by car. The chubby little yellow cat at home had been waiting under the porch for a long time.
