old house bird thing

In January, the Whampoa Military Academy was silent in a sad atmosphere. Although the Eastern Expedition achieved a great victory, Whampoa also paid a heavy price for it. Many familiar faces could no longer smile. The school built for the sacrificed martyrs I visited the Cemetery of the Martyrs of the Eastern Expedition to comfort the ancestors and encourage those who came.

This month, Huangpu Island is often foggy, and the gray-white world covers everything.Since the end of the Eastern Expedition, Jiang has taken a higher view of Xiangxiang, tied to him all day long, and worked harder than a dog's legs.He lived in the military academy with his wife Chen Jieru. At that time, Jiang was young and promising, held an important position, and he was accompanied by his confidante and served him wholeheartedly, which made others envious.

Principal Jiang's office is well lit. Sitting at the desk, one can clearly see the waves of the river not far away, which makes one feel open-minded and vast.Jiang is a person with a cleanliness personality. It can be seen from some of his daily little things. A letter is written wrong. At this time, it is enough to throw it away and write it again, but he insists on writing the letter before throwing it away. From this we can see his stubbornness, which is also a personality that an ordinary layman in Xiangxiang cannot understand.Therefore, the things on his desk must be neat and tidy at all times, and the used paper documents are classified into categories like files, which really drives Xiangxiang crazy.

But the situation was different that day. When Xiangxiang entered the office, he found some papers and two balls of paper on Jiang's desk in a mess, and some burnt ashes in the ashtray.Hearing the voice, Jiang seemed to be in the bedroom, and the sound of a man and a woman arguing came from inside the door.

"Who is your letter addressed to?" The woman's voice trembled.

"I'm not writing a letter." The man's voice was unusually calm, even cold.

"I've seen it all, you're still lying to me, jieshi..."

"Don't be so capricious."

"Me! jieshi!"

The door of the bedroom was opened with a bang, Jiang walked out frowning, glanced at Xiangxiang, ignored it, turned around and strode out of the office, the sound of military boots gradually faded away, at the door of the bedroom, Mrs. Chen looked distraught Staring blankly at the direction in which the person left, tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

"Madam." Xiangxiang hurried over, took out a handkerchief, and comforted in a low voice: "The principal is usually busy with work, and sometimes he is in a bad mood. Please be considerate when he loses his temper with you. Don't be sad."

Chen Que suddenly grabbed Xiangxiang's arm excitedly, her face pretending to be calm couldn't block the panic that was about to break the dike, her trembling hands betrayed her completely: "Secretary Du, you follow Jieshi every day, Tell me the truth, which woman has he met recently? Who has he met!"

Xiangxiang was also shocked when he heard it: "Madam, after the end of the Eastern Expedition, the principal never left Huangpu." Madam Chen let go of Xiangxiang weakly, collapsed on the sofa beside her, and said in a trembling voice, "Then what is he? To whom? "Xiangxiang was still a little unclear, so he had to comfort him: "Madam, don't be too anxious. Isn't there a wife in Principal Jiang's house? Maybe it was written to that lady."

There was a little hope in Chen's eyes: "Really? Was it written to her? But Jieshi doesn't love her, she's just a woman forced on him by his family, how could he write to her? He proposed to me Said I was his only wife."

"But that lady is in the headmaster's hometown after all, maybe she just wants to express condolences for something at home."

After hearing this, Chen fell silent, buried his face in the sofa, and remained motionless.

Xiangxiang exited the office quietly, closed the door carefully, leaned against the wall, looked around, and took out the two balls of paper from his cuffs, one paper ball had only half a word written on it, and the other paper ball was Wrote half a poem on it.

The door of the attendant's room next to him opened suddenly, startling Xiangxiang, and quickly stuffed the paper ball into his pocket.

Xiao Lie stopped in his tracks, halfway through a door, when Xiangxiang saw him, he panicked, his body straightened unconsciously, and stood there tensely.

Xiao Lie had already left the hospital and went back to school. Among the non-commissioned officers who graduated in the first batch, he and Jiang Xianyun were the only ones who became the principal's attendants, and he made great achievements in the Eastern Expedition, and he was in the limelight for a while.After seeing Xiangxiang, his burly figure froze slightly, and then he walked over naturally, with the rustling sound of the spear in his hand rubbing against the military uniform.

"Hello, Instructor Du." He greeted blankly.

Xiangxiang swallowed, and replied: "Hello, are you... all injured?"

"Maybe." He said casually.

Hearing the sound of a woman crying from inside the door, Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Lie in embarrassment and said, "Madam is crying, she said she saw a letter from the principal to other women, you know... Is it for whom?"

Xiao Lie glanced at Xiangxiang indifferently, and said after a while: "It's better for us outsiders not to interfere in the principal's housework."

Then he sneered: "After all, no man wants to hear others say that he is heartless and ungrateful."

Just like the precursor of a thunderstorm, the dreary air is just the beginning, and the real heavy rain will pour down in a short time, so fast that it makes people feel overwhelmed.

The principal's office was full of people. Chen Jieru was sitting on a stool in the middle wiping tears. The leaders of several schools were scattered around. The Soviet adviser was angrily accusing Jiang: "What did Madam do wrong? Why don't you want her?" ? Are you still a revolutionary?"

Facing the wall with his hands behind his back, Jiang did not say a word, allowing the Soviet adviser to yell "Wow, wow, wow".

Finally, Jiang turned around and said something to Chen Jieru, in a tone that could not be refuted at all: "I will send you to study in the United States."

Anxious, the Soviet adviser stepped forward and said to Chen, "This man is not good enough for you, so don't put your hopes in him any more."

Chen was stunned when he heard Jiang's words, stood up slowly, looked at the man with a cold face in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "How could you treat me like this, you even forgot you Did you say something when you proposed? You held a knife to your arm, and you said you would use your blood to write an oath of eternal love! How can you keep your word!"

Jiang's expression didn't change at all. He said, "When you go to the United States, you can calm down. You are not qualified for the title of Mrs. Jiang now. Let's talk about it when you come back five years later."

Chen stared at Jiang helplessly, unable to stop the tears, she closed her eyes hopelessly, turned around and stumbled out.

Jiang took a step, but stopped abruptly, turned to Xiang Xiang beside him and ordered, "Liang Yu, send your wife aboard." "...Yes, principal." Xiang Xiang hurriedly chased after him.

The Whampoa Military Academy Headquarters is surrounded by a high wall. From here, walk down the stone ladder to the port. Chen is wearing a white flower dress. She just turned 20 this year and looks beautiful and generous. She has a tall figure. , big eyes, high nose bridge, handsome face.In his early years, his family was well-off, educated, and could speak Russian. Later, when his family fell into poverty, he even worked as a geisha.Such a woman may have become a bondage to the ambitious Jiang, and now Xiangxiang is sure to whom Jiang wrote the letter that day.

Chen walked on the stairs like a rag doll who had lost her soul. The sea breeze brushed over her tear-stained cheeks and raised her somewhat disheveled hair. Xiangxiang didn't know how to comfort her, and he wasn't very good at it himself. Talking, lest the more you comfort her, the more sad you will be, so you have to keep silent and walk quietly beside her.

"Secretary Du, I want to see him again." Chen suddenly stopped, grabbed Xiangxiang's sleeve and begged, "Secretary Du, go and call him, I want to see him, I still have something to say ask him."

The guard on the side frowned, seeing that Xiangxiang hadn't spoken, so he saluted and said, "Madam, please don't embarrass us. The principal ordered us to send Madam aboard."

Chen shook his head in pain and kept shouting: "No, no, I want to see him again, let him come to see me."

As he said that, Chen pushed Xiangxiang away and ran back. The guard hurriedly blocked Chen's way with a long gun.

Chen was helpless at this point, she looked dejectedly at the tall Huangpu, the man she loved drove her out of there, and when she turned around, it was the surging river, and there was no way out, she pushed the gun and ran away, Climbed up the city wall, stepped on the edge and stood in the strong wind.The guard was terrified and shouted: "Madam, please don't do this, come down quickly."

"Go and call him, let him come to see me! Otherwise, I will jump from here! Go! Go!" Chen screamed, his voice hysterical.

The guard looked at Xiangxiang with a pale face, and begged him to make up his mind: "Instructor, should I go to the principal?"

Xiangxiang didn't answer, he sighed, and took two steps forward: "Madam, please come down. The principal won't come. If he is threatened by you, he won't be him. You are the one who understands him best. Don't you understand?"

"I...I..." Chen was speechless, his dejected lips trembling slightly.

"Are you begging for his sympathy or pity, thinking that begging will get him to look at you one more time? Come down, while you still have dignity, forget the principal, and start over."

Chen howled in pain, squatted down, and cried bitterly on the city wall.

In the end, Chen still left. Half a month later, she boarded a boat from Shanghai to the United States. She left, but Ke Xin never left, and had no choice to start over. From that day on, she waited for Jiang for the rest of her life.

In March, news came from the north that Mr. Sun was seriously ill. On that day, Mr. Liao and his wife went to Beijing at night.
