Republic of China

Don't spend the night outside all the time recently, watch out for his temper! "

Tong Rongfei stretched his waist, and replied indifferently: "I will pay attention." There is no party tonight, but there will be a party in a few days, and he has to attend it, because Mr. Li specially invited Miss Dong for himself. Their girls rarely show their faces outside. If there is any girl in Guangzhou who can meet the standard of being his wife, there is only that lady.

On Monday morning, Tong Fulai got up at six as usual. After washing up, he changed into a gray gown and went to practice boxing in the garden downstairs of the apartment.

Generally, he will insist on typing for two hours before going upstairs, then take a hot shower, and then follow Brother Zhao to class. According to his father's instructions, he must also learn English, and this week, an English teacher will come to teach him every other day. In class, although it is tantamount to counterproductive, but who made him a white man?So the only way to catch up with Hongru is to work harder, there is no other way.

He likes history and geography the most. As for arithmetic and Chinese, he is not very interested. However, in order to write a letter to Boss Shen next time, the language will be more beautiful and fluent. He is still studying patiently. He will practice calligraphy under the lamp before going to bed at night Handwriting is half of a person's facade, if one can write well, one will be able to find a good way out in the future.

Just as Fulai was standing in the shade of a tree, playing the graceful Baguazhang, a girl trotted over from the bungalow across the road. The red dress on the young woman was very strange, not only very close , and still tight, this is commonly known as sportswear.

The girl has a pink complexion, a round face with delicate eyebrows and clear eyes, a small nose, red lips, and a very well-proportioned figure, just like a typical southern beauty. She has a long ponytail tied behind her head , swaying lively with her running posture.

She ran to the boulevard, looked curiously at Tong Fulai, who was practicing meticulously, with a smile on her lips, and ran past him lightly.

Tong Fulai didn't care about it either. He recited formulas in his heart and practiced the footwork according to the essentials taught by his master. Before leaving Beijing, Master He specially taught him the 72 dark feet of Baguazhang. Although the time was tight, he kept it in his heart , his flamboyance can really become tough after hard training, and his adaptability in actual combat has been raised to a higher level. Maybe he will be able to compete with Shen Yuezhi next time when he competes with Shen Yuezhi.

After a while, the girl ran back and forth, came to his side dripping with sweat, and stopped slowly, adjusting her breathing while stretching her arms.

He was not affected at all, and continued to swing his palms and kick his legs, but because the routine was not yet pure, it seemed to be very difficult, and he couldn't use his strength even more.

"What punch did you hit?" the girl asked in Cantonese.

When Fulai heard her talking to him, he stopped his moves temporarily, and frowned suspiciously: "Sorry, I don't understand Cantonese."

She smiled tactfully, and said in Mandarin with a southern accent: "What kind of punch did you punch? It looks pretty good."

Only then did he truthfully answer: "Baguazhang."

"Oh, I've heard of it." She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the person in front of her generously. She felt that this young man was quite handsome, with a medium build and a straight waist, especially those deep swallow eyes. Charming, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Many people in Beijing practice Baguazhang." He noticed that the girl was staring at him, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"You just moved here, I haven't seen you before." She got up a little early today, and instead of jogging from the north according to the old route, she came near the foreigner's apartment.

"We just came from Beijing last week, and the girl lives nearby?" He then began to pay attention to her appearance. This is really a beautiful woman, generous but not frivolous, she looks like a well-educated rich lady.

"I live in the house opposite." She pointed to the yellow western-style building on the other side of the road. People who live nearby basically know the Dong family. It seems that this person is indeed an outsider.

"Oh, do you run every morning?" He was fresh and didn't understand why girls should exercise like men.

"That's right, my name is Dong Peiyun, what about you?" She said this sentence without much thought, but she regretted it a bit. Isn't it a bit immodest for a girl to do this?

"Tong Fulai." He felt that the girl was very talkative, so he chatted with her without thinking about it.

The two sat by the flower bed and chatted for a while, Peiyun took the first step to leave, and before leaving, she deliberately said: "See you tomorrow." After speaking, she waved her hand and crossed the road.

Fulai watched her go away before returning to the apartment. When she opened the door, her mother was about to go out to buy groceries. Seeing him coming in, she told her, "Rong Fei called just now and asked you to go out with him to a party this Saturday. Be careful when you talk to him." After all, she has lived for more than [-] years, and she can tell from the conversation that Rong Fei is a slippery dude, and she is afraid that her nephew will lead her son into trouble.

"I know, don't worry." After he finished speaking, he entered the room and washed his hands, then returned to the living room, looked at the calendar hanging on the wall, the letter was sent out two days ago, and it will almost be received after the new year Did you get Boss Shen's reply?

Tong Chunyan looked at her son, and went downstairs with a vegetable basket. She had just become familiar with the surrounding environment and already knew where to buy vegetables, but there were not many people who could talk to her, so she felt a little lonely.But for her son, everything is worth it, and she has to adapt to life in Guangzhou.It may be because the air here is cleaner than in Beijing. She hasn't had much illness since she came to Guangzhou, and her symptoms have indeed improved after taking the newly prescribed prescription.

At this time, Zhao Yaochen also finished washing, and walked to Fulai with a stack of books in his arms: "Let's go to class, Second Young Master."

He frowned in embarrassment: "Don't call me Second Young Master, just call me Fulai." He is still not used to this address.

"Okay, Fulai, let's go to class, hurry up, the English teacher will come in the afternoon." Although the second young master has never been to school, he is not stupid, he memorizes things quickly, but he has no sense for music, drawing, etc. There is no artistic talent, but this has nothing to do with being a soldier, so it is not a big problem.

He hurriedly opened the door, drew the curtains, and let the bright sunlight shine into the room.

"I have memorized all the arithmetic formulas, and I will test you today." After Zhao Yaochen finished speaking, he took out a copy of the test questions and handed them to Fulai.

After he sat down, he took out a pencil and slowly calculated on the draft paper. Although he was not very skilled, he did it very carefully. His mother had taught him addition, subtraction, multiplication and division before, but he was not very good at decimal points. Familiar with, let alone mathematical formulas, but these are what a staff officer should master. People who are good at mathematics have strong logical thinking skills, so that they can objectively analyze the current situation and make the most reasonable judgments.

Zhao Yaochen sat aside and looked at it for a while, then nodded in satisfaction. He felt that Mr. Tong was really lucky to have such a down-to-earth and loyal son, but anyone who has made achievements in a certain field would be somewhat dull, but they focused on studying The spirit of not being tempted by the colorful world is very valuable.

While Tong Fulai started a new life in Guangzhou, Shen Yuezhi, who was far away in Fengtian, was enduring the most aggrieved time in his life.

He is like a bird in a cage, without freedom, every day besides sitting and chatting with his elder brother, he is discussing Peking Opera with his mother, he has become an idler, bored and very depressed!

After lunch, Yuezhi went into the elder brother's room. As soon as his sister-in-law Hongxia finished washing her elder brother, she said to him, "Little uncle, please sit down. I just want to take the child out to do some shopping."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will take care of elder brother." He felt that sister-in-law is really a good woman. After elder brother was paralyzed, she had no complaints and devoted herself to taking care of him. This is the blessing of their Shen family!

After his wife closed the door and left, Shen Jianhua regained some vitality, his complexion was not as sallow as before, but his voice was still weak and abnormal.

"Did I tell you about the matter of sending you to the Army Academy?" He can only lie on the bed now, unable to stay with his father, and he can't let go of his mind at all. Naturally, the younger brother in Beijing doesn't know all the shady scenes in the army. And chaos, he wanted to break up with Yuezhi and smash it to pieces to make it clear that his father must have a confidant to handle things.

He sat down and replied: "I said, he asked me to think about it, but the marriage must be settled quickly." Look, while showing and telling him the housework preferences of the other party, but there is no one he can take a fancy to.

Jianhua said "hmm": "It's good to find a daughter-in-law, who is as virtuous as your sister-in-law... Although I have no right to ask you to obey your father's arrangement, my eldest brother wants to beg you. Now that the war is about to come, it is very difficult for my father to have no confidants." It's hard to secure a stable position, our Shen family is not a thriving population at all, and there are not many people we can trust, I hope you can stay by Dad's side, it's not easy for him to sit in this position now."

Boss Shen covered his head in silence for a long time before he asked, "If no one is by Father's side, will Father's life be in danger?"

He sighed and begged: "The current warlords don't care about benevolence and righteousness at all. They turn against each other and kill their lords. In addition, the Northeast is coveted by the Japanese. They have to get rid of the old commander twice. Although Wu Peifu and us have shaken hands and made peace, But there is also the National Army in the south. If Feng Yuxiang really supports them, the situation will be dangerous. How to survive, in case... the Feng faction falls, our way out
