Chapter 34 On Parents

Being alone with a handsome man must be the most frustrating thing in the world.

It is said that men in military uniforms are handsome, and now it seems that they are indeed so, with a tall and straight military uniform, long military boots, and a tight belt.Alas, when he was young, Premier Zhou was not only good-looking, good-natured, and knowledgeable, but also gentle and approachable. He was really a good man among men, a high-quality man among good men, and he wanted to look at him at the first glance. Eyes, the second time I want to look at countless eyes, woo woo woo, it's a sin.

After the ward round, on the way to leave with Director Zhou, Xiangxiang was full of emotions.The mood was like drinking mellow fine wine, making people intoxicated and dizzy; it was also like being in the rough sea, feeling ups and downs, tense and excited.

For a long time, the understanding of Premier Zhou was only a few words in textbooks. Now that I really saw him, I realized the almost perfect personality charm of a great man of a generation.Xiang Xiang has attended several of his speeches. His voice is warm but powerful, his language is humorous and full of vitality, and his content is full of enthusiasm and emotion, making people addicted to it unconsciously.

At that time, Whampoa not only divided students into factions, but also divided teachers into factions. Some teachers who were members of the Communist Party of China were very unpopular with party-state students, but Premier Zhou’s class crossed this boundary. No matter what party you are, Without exception, everyone will be impressed by his demeanor.

"Teacher Du knows a lot about Marxism. I seem to have seen a few articles written by you in the archives of the reference room. They are very well written and insightful. You must have done in-depth research." He said.

"I've done some research." I was forced to do research in junior high school and continued to do so after graduating from university.

"I heard that you were Mr. Liao's secretary before?" He said briskly, "Mr. Sun and Mr. Liao have given us great support for our work."

"I used to hear Mr. Sun Yat-sen say that at that time, revolutions failed one after another, and when he felt lost, it was the idea of ​​the Communist Party of China that gave him new hope and helped him realize the construction of Huangpu. That's why he came up with the 'New Sanmin' doctrine'."

"I just came to the school not long ago, so I don't know many things very well. You are now the secretary of Principal Jiang. What do you think of Principal Jiang's views on the Communist Party?" he asked.

"I have only been with President Jiang for nearly a year. I can't guess what President Jiang thinks, but when I visited the Soviet Union with President Jiang's team last year, he wrote letters to Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Mr. Liao respectively. , the letter is quite critical of Soviet gcism."

This evening, Xiangxiang had a long conversation with Director Zhou. Xiangxiang talked a lot purely and sincerely, most of which were about his own experiences and anecdotes in Huangpu. Good self-restraint, patiently listened to my overexcited and incongruous words, as a young man in his twenties, I really feel ashamed of myself.

Half a month later, on the afternoon when the military academy returned home from vacation, black clouds blew in one day, and it began to rain sparsely. The gray air brought out a gloomy atmosphere.Yunsheng Town is full of greenery, and there are still people doing farm work in the rice fields, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats. It seems that there is only the sound of drizzle in the quiet world.

After Xiangxiang got off the train, he went back on foot. Because he forgot to bring an umbrella, his suit was soaked, and the mud on the country road stuck to the soles of his leather shoes.From a distance, I saw the gate of the Du family compound. The black painted gate was very wide, and a pair of door gods were pasted on the gate, like a black and white photo.

"Oh! Second Young Master! You're back!" Seeing Xiangxiang's smiling face, the gatekeeper said again: "Why are you all wet? It's cloudy, and you don't know how to bring an umbrella. Hurry up." Come in, tell me that the family will pick you up, and come back in the cold weather."

"Hehe, I got up and down while walking." Xiangxiang said.

The concierge quickly asked a servant to inform the master, and he held an umbrella for Xiangxiang and walked to the front hall.

"When Miss Liangxin left the house, you didn't have time to come back. The family knew you were busy, so they didn't dare to call you. At the autumnal equinox, the master welcomed the seventh concubine, who is the daughter of the fifth concubine's natal family. Yes, young master, you have a happy event." The porter chattered about the trivial matters at home, and then excitedly said that there was a happy event in Xiangxiang.

Xiang Xiang smiled and said, "What is my happy event?"

"Let's not talk about this old man, you can't steal the fun of my aunt, you go in and change your clothes, don't freeze."

At this time, dinner was almost ready, Xiangxiang went back to the room, changed his clothes, and went directly to the dining room to wait for everyone.The second aunt ran out first, stroking Xiangxiang up and down with a happy face, she looked very moist, wearing a new water-colored cheongsam, and wearing round pearl necklaces, as if several years younger.

Master Du came out later, he hadn't changed at all, he was still so skinny, but he was full of energy, and beside him was his newly married seventh concubine, Chen Yuelin, who was still a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, who looked gentle and delicate, with a strong personality. With short hair, like a schoolgirl.

At the dinner table, Mr. Du asked about Xiangxiang's life with care, and suggested that he bring a maid to take care of his life.The second aunt sat next to Xiangxiang, and kept adding vegetables to Xiangxiang's bowl, muttering about being thin and dark. The 26-year-old Du Liangmo is married to the third concubine, and he still needs a beard. He cares for Xiangxiang like a big brother.The younger sister Du Liangyan sat in it and ate by herself, and the girl who had just turned 5 carefully picked up the dish in front of her.

After drinking a few glasses of wine with Mr. Du, Mr. Du was a little drunk, his eyes were a little red, he pointed to the second aunt and said, "Tell me, tell Liangyu, hehe, I am happy today."

The second aunt touched Xiangxiang's back, and said with some relief: "Last month, the mayor whispered a message, which seemed to mean marrying our family. I met their girl, who is 16 years old this year. Now, she looks fair and clean, with big eyes, she is still studying in Guangzhou Normal University, she is quiet, I like it very much.”

Master Du said: "People come to ask what you mean. Because you are outside, young people nowadays are interested in free love. Maybe you have other ideas, and it's not easy for the family to decide for you."

Xiangxiang didn't expect such a thing, he was a little dazed after hearing it, clenched his fists, and said awkwardly: "This matter, don't worry."

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry." Master Du took a sip of his wine, glanced at Du Liangmo, who was looking down on the table, and said, "Your eldest brother got married five or six years ago, and women have taken in three or four rooms in recent years. , but I can’t even grow any grass, and I’m still spending my days outside all day, hum!”

Master Du's voice was too loud, and the younger sister Du Liangyan was so frightened that she put down her bowl and dared not eat. Master Du still seemed to feel unhappy, pointing at Du Liangmo and scolding: "You are a worthless thing, you are in charge of the place of production, you lose the money by betting." Halfway through, I told you to go to the store to check the account, you raped the granddaughter of the old shopkeeper, and you said there is nothing you can't do."

The eldest lady, who has been silent all this time, looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, as if an old monk had already entered meditation.Du Liangmo's daughter-in-law, Wang Caiying, has lost a lot of weight over the past few years. Standing aside, she behaved well and dared not say a word.

Du Liangmo was afraid of Mr. Du since he was a child. Now he was ashamed in front of Du Liangyu and didn't dare to refute. He just said cautiously: "Father taught me that it's the son who is not good, and I will not dare to do it again in the future."

"Huh! Have the face to say it! My old face is burning for you." Then Master Du turned to Xiangxiang and said, "Yu'er has lost weight, let the kitchen make you something you like. As for the marriage proposal from the mayor, You decide for yourself, although their family background is good, but your status is not ordinary now, you may not see a small mayor in your eyes. But you must prepare for marriage, you are not young, you were disobedient in the early years, Running around outside, otherwise he would have started a family long ago."
