Republic of China

Well, someone needs to discuss these things with my father at any time. He is straightforward and not good at handling these trivial matters. You are smart and sociable, and you will definitely do better than me, not to mention that your father will not let you Those who go to the battlefield to command operations, he just wants you to be an adjutant. "

Shen Yuezhi raised his head, looked at the man on the bed, and smiled wryly: "I've listened to you the most since I was a child. You've said that. Is there any way for me to retreat?" But he couldn't let go of the troupe in Beijing, and everyone was counting on following him. He was in his early years, it took him seven years to get to the present, let him just lose it, give up, how could he be willing!Peking opera is his favorite, and he is willing to spend his whole life working on singing. Even if he no longer speaks, watching the performances of the troupe is a great enjoyment, especially a sense of accomplishment, so his previous life was happy and fulfilled, but What about the future?He dare not imagine.

Jianhua naturally understood his younger brother's thoughts, and said gently: "Father always says you are disobedient and unfilial, it is because he doesn't know you well enough, in fact, you are very kind-hearted, even if I take advantage of your weakness, I will join the army with my father, hurry up Let’s start a family and start a business, and as for the affairs of Beijing, you can entrust your friends, don’t you have a good friend Wu Biling, he can take over your team, right?”

He nodded: "Yes, I can, but it's a pity. I brought them up step by step, and I spent countless efforts."

"When the world is peaceful in the future, it's not too late for you to sing again." Shen Jianhua felt that his words were very false, but he had no choice but to persuade his younger brother to join the army, because it was related to the future of the Shen family and his father.

Shen Yuezhi combed his bangs, and forced a smile: "Don't say that." Anyone who pays attention to political affairs and educated people can clearly see that this is a chaotic world at all, and it is difficult to go back to the past once you step into the war.

Shen Jianhua closed his eyes and frowned tightly: "It would be great if I wasn't disabled, and you can still live your old life."

"It doesn't matter, I will stay by father's side for elder brother." After he said this, he stepped forward to help his elder brother move a position, and put a pillow on his side so that Jianhua could lie on his side, otherwise it would be easy to bed sores.

After his sister-in-law came back, Shen Yuezhi returned to the room, but before his buttocks warmed up, his mother excitedly opened the door and walked in, still holding a dozen photos in her hand, and was talking about her marriage again.

"Yuezhi, I got a photo of a girl from Mrs. Chen today, you must be satisfied." Xian'e sat on the bedside, pulled her son and put the two photos in his hands.

Shen Yuezhi didn't pay attention at first, but after seeing a photo of Mu Guiying in disguise, he turned his gaze away.The woman in the photo has a charming look and posture. She is definitely a fan of Peking Opera. He also took out a photo of the girl in casual clothes. The woman is wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam with a long braid, and has a delicate face. Although she is thin, she is a pretty lady. She is sitting on the grand master's chair, and the background behind her is a screen painted with landscapes.

Seeing her son looking at the photos, she said: "Her name is Wu Yelan, and her family is not too rich. Her father is the owner of a cloth shop. There are three brothers and sisters in the family. She is the eldest, a little older, 20 years old. , but I’m a good match for you. I graduated from a normal school and now I’m a primary school teacher. I’m a fan of Peking Opera.” She hesitated at first, thinking that the woman’s family background was average, but because the Wu family were all theater fans, she reluctantly agreed. Miss Wu's mother was very happy about the marriage and kept saying good things.

Shen Yuezhi put down the photo, and said calmly: "Then let's meet up." Anyway, if you want to get married, you have to find someone you can talk to, as for family background, it doesn't matter.

"Okay, I'll go ask Miss Wu." She was about to go downstairs to find someone to inform the Wu family when her son stopped her.

"Mom, I agreed to go to the Army Academy and not go back to Beijing." He had already made up his mind, and he wrote a letter to Wu Biling in a while, asking him to take care of the people in the troupe and not let the big guy lose his temper.

Xian'e turned around quickly, and asked in surprise, "Do you really want to go to the army with your father?" In fact, she was 1 unhappy about her son changing his career to be an officer. Life is in danger, but military life is extremely dangerous.

"I can't pass the responsibility on to my elder brother anymore. It's all because of him that I can live freely for seven years. If I don't take it on, it will be too much for me. Even if I go back to Beijing, I will be criticized by my friends and people in the team. Yes." When he spoke, he was helpless, but he had no choice.The escape in the past was all because of his brother's hard support, but now that that person has fallen, he can no longer be self-willed.

She folded her arms and shook her head: "Actually, Mom doesn't want you to go to the army... But your father can't be left alone, but since you've decided, I won't say anything more. I heard that the Army Academy can only recruit students in summer. Just spend the next six months getting married?" I hope my son can find his future daughter-in-law soon, and this Miss Wu seems to be very promising.

"Okay, if Ms. Wu's character is fine and she can get along with me, then I'll find an auspicious day to get married." He's just trying to make ends meet now, even though he's thinking about Fulai now, he can't marry her. A man is a daughter-in-law.In the face of marriage, he is as helpless as his old friend Wu Biling. In short, it's time for him to shoulder the burden of the family.

There are more infatuated species in the audience

There are still a few days until the Spring Festival, and the city of Beijing is still very lively. Although the situation is tense now, there are still many guests in the teahouses and theaters.

Wu Biling sat at the dresser and washed his face, and said to the runner beside him, "Help me buy a supper, hot wontons." It was only eight o'clock, and he planned to take a bath, but he couldn't do it like before. Coming home late because his wife would be waiting for him to come home, and while it felt good, he was more than uncomfortable.

"Okay, Boss Wu." The young man who ran the errands immediately took the money and went out, but he saw Boss Zhang of the theater head-on.

Boss Zhang is tall and thin, about forty years old, wearing glasses with the bottom of a wine bottle, and always holding a snuff bottle in his hand. He came to Wu Biling with a smile, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou is going to hold a church meeting again. His grandson is over a hundred days old, and he wants to invite you to sing in an opera." He knew that without Shen Yuezhi's company, it would be difficult to invite Biling, but Zhou is a high-ranking guest in the theater, so he can't lose face.

"You push it for me, I just got married, I'm busy... wait for the next opportunity!" He raised his eyebrows and smiled, then put on his coat, took the foreign cigarettes and walked out the door.

Boss Zhang's face seemed to be stuck with glue, and he was very unhappy and bit the bullet to answer Boss Zhou. If it wasn't for Lao Wu's face, he wouldn't be kind to this kid, but no. The solution is that there are quite a few theater fans who buy this "Master Rabbit". His theater has to rely on this person to survive, so he can only endure it.

Wu Biling came to the back door of the theater, and just stepped down the steps to light a cigarette when he saw a handsome man walking towards him and bowed politely.

"Mr. Fujita!" He exclaimed before the cigarette touched his lips. He had said that he would invite someone to drink tea, but he completely forgot about it because of the trouble.

"Boss Wu, I'm here to cheer you on again." He raised his head and looked at the "beauty" in a white cashmere coat in front of him, but his heart was beating wildly. This is indeed a natural "beauty". The pose of smoking is also so beautiful.

"Thank you...I've been too busy recently, so I didn't take the time to treat you to tea. I'm really sorry!" It's time.

"It's okay, I understand you, why don't we sit in the teahouse in front for a while?" He knew that he had just become a bridegroom and was accompanied by a beautiful wife, so he would naturally forget about other things, but he heard that Wu Biling liked it. It's a man, and Shen Yuezhi is the one he likes. Could it be that it's a rumor?

"Okay." Wu Biling walked with the Japanese to the tea house at the entrance of the alley without thinking too much, and entered a private room.The environment here is not elegant and unique, but it is cleaned very cleanly. The private room is separated by wooden screens. charcoal stove.

The two ordered Maojian and dim sum, and then started chatting.

Fujita said first: "Excuse me!" After speaking, he took off his glasses, took out a clean glasses cloth and wiped the water mist on them carefully.

Wu Biling took a sip of tea: "You used to always sit in the private room on the second floor, right?" He saw each other several times, but never said hello.

He put on his glasses and replied, "Yes, I like to enjoy your singing quietly, but the downstairs is quite noisy." He doesn't like the way Chinese theater fans cheer and applaud loudly, even if he sees a wonderful performance, he will not express it too much. Mostly just a smile.

"Are the movie fans enthusiastic?" Bi Ling felt that this person seemed not easy to get along with, and it was probably only this time that they sat and talked like this, and there would never be a next time.

Fujita stared intently at the person opposite and asked softly: "Mr. Wu is happy in his newly married life, isn't he?"

He managed to force a smile: "Fortunately, it's just a matter of life." Although getting married is not too bad, but he put on shackles, and no matter what he does, he has to think about Qinglian, which is an extra concern.

"I heard that your wife is the daughter of the Liu family, and Mr. Liu's martial artist is one of the best in Beijing." He has a lot of research on Peking opera, and he knows something about the famous Liyuan family.
