[But I like your colleague] Long love

?In order to celebrate Xiang Hao's achievements that can be called cross-generational progress, they unanimously decided to go to Changchun Garden to listen to the play.Of course, they were so generous because Shen Wentao told him to treat them, otherwise they would never have chosen the No. [-] theater in Dragon City to listen to the opera.

Everyone was very excited on the way, especially Gu Xiaobai.Gu Xiaobai was excited not because he went to the theater, but because Brother Hao and Shen Wentao went together, which meant that the brothers could start dominating the world again—Brother Hao and him were in charge of causing trouble, while Shen Wentao and Du Feng took care of the aftermath.

The temperature has dropped sharply recently, and the wind is blowing bitterly, but this does not affect the stalls on both sides of the road in the slightest.

Wrapped in a thick military overcoat, Xiang Hao walked beside Shen Wentao, and said with ulterior motives: "Shen Wentao, have you brought enough money? Don't be like Xiaobai, if you don't have any money, you still need me to pay for you?"

"Brother Hao, I didn't bring any money that time!" Gu Xiaobai twitched his lips, "You've said it countless times, can you let me go?"

Shen Wentao glanced at Xiang Hao, Xiang Hao never put anything in the military uniform pockets, including the military coat, because it would affect the appearance.Therefore, even if he didn't bring any money, it was definitely not the penniless Xiang Hao who advanced the money in the end.Shen Wentao sighed secretly, "I brought money."

"Okay, help me buy steamed stuffed buns, I want Goubuli Sanxian Bao!" Xiang Hao smiled brightly, he didn't go to the cafeteria for breakfast in the morning, nonsense, he knew he had to come out in the morning, why would he eat from the cafeteria breakfast? !

"..." Hearing Xiaobai's undisguised swallowing sound, Shen Wentao really wanted to touch his forehead - the cooperation between the two of them was always so seamless when eating. He looked at Goubuli at the opposite intersection and said, "Let's Go have breakfast before going to Changchun Garden."

"Okay, I'll just wait for your words!" Gu Xiaobai patted Shen Wentao on the back vigorously, and carried Xiang Hao across the road, "Brother Hao, let's go."

Du Feng looked at Shen Wentao sympathetically with an expression that I understand, and then walked behind Xiang Hao, cough, the price of Goubuli steamed stuffed buns, for a commoner like him, one meal is a way to improve life.

Gao Meiren was a little depressed, he would not have gone to the cafeteria if he had known.

After they finished eating and drinking, the waiter specially sent them to the door of the store. From the boss's slapping abacus, we can probably guess that the six of them must have eaten at a price that made the boss very satisfied. .

Once a person is full, his mood will be better, and the winter wind will not feel infiltrating.

"I don't know what Changchun Garden is singing today?" Xiang Hao hid his hands in his coat pockets, his tone full of anticipation.

"A few days ago, Cheng Dieyi, who is famous in Kyoto, came to Longcheng. I specially booked a few tickets." Cheng Dieyi is the leading female role in the capital. worry.Shen Wentao smiled lightly, "It is said that he will sing "The Drunken Concubine" today."

Turning right at this intersection is Changchun Garden, but the strange thing is that there are almost no pedestrians around, Shen Wentao is a little suspicious, although Dragon City is not as popular as Peking Opera in Kyoto, but there will never be no people.

And after they turned the intersection, they immediately knew the reason—there was an army surrounding the Changchun Garden, it seemed that some dignitary and nobleman wanted to come to listen to the play, making such a big show.

Disgust flashed across Xiang Hao's face. Soldiers are there to defend their home and country, not for show.And Shen Wentao darkened his eyes, not many high-ranking officials in Dragon City could make such moves.

They were stopped 20 meters away from Changchun Garden.The person blocking the way was named Zhou Mingyao, who was originally Xiang Shaoda's old department, but he was disgusted by Xiang Shaoda because of his greed and recklessness in the battlefield.Unwilling to sink so far, he moved around, and finally caught the eyes of the Japanese Consul General in Longcheng, Yada Qitaro, and became a small captain of Yada Qitaro's personal guards.

Zhou Yao stopped the group of them, he half-closed his eyes and looked Xiang Hao up and down, "Yo, isn't this Young Master Xiang, Young Master Shen?" Feeling complacent, "Yada-sama has reserved the venue today, I'm afraid I will invite you to go back the same way, what a pity, Mr. Xiang-Master-"

Xiang Hao smiled coldly, when he was about to kick Zhou Yao's calf, Shen Wentao grabbed his arm and took a step back.

"Heh, Young Master Xiang has such a temper." Zhou Yao said eccentrically, with regret and hidden desire in his eyes, he was not worried that Xiang Hao would do something, and even felt a little pity that Xiang Hao didn't do it, otherwise he could borrow Take this opportunity to teach this young master of the Xiang family what is meant by 'knowing current affairs'.

Xiang Hao gave Shen Wentao an elbow backhand, "Shen Wentao, let me go!" He gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Xiang Hao," Shen Wentao noticed Zhou Yao's eyes, a burst of anger burned in his chest, he directly hugged Xiang Hao by the waist, his voice was low and dangerous, "Calm down first."

"Calm down your sister, let go." Xiang Hao's eyes were full of jumping anger, this person was not a good guy in the army, and now he is rotten to the bone, working for the Japanese, fuck it.

It was not Shen Wentao who stopped Xiang Hao in the end, but the boss of Changchun Garden.He knelt in front of Xiang Hao and begged Young Master Xiang to take a step back and stop causing trouble.

They were all silent on the way back.

"Brother Hao, what do you think we are studying in the military academy for?" Gu Xiaobai no longer had the usual smile on his face. He was full of confusion and anger. He had witnessed the dominance of the Japanese in China and the treatment of them by the Chinese. Kneeling made him truly feel humiliated, "They all knelt down, can we still save them?"

Xiang Hao stopped, "Xiaobai—"

"Do you think they have a choice?" Du Feng interrupted Xiang Hao's words, his face was serious, "They knelt down to live." No one can understand the feeling of trying to survive better than him. Life is not a novel. There are no coincidences, no chance encounters, no willows and flowers, and another village. It is more like stepping on you when you are miserable. For poor people like them, life is more difficult than death.

"Gu Xiaobai, do you know what will happen if the boss of Changchun Garden refuses the Japanese?" Du Feng only calls Xiaobai by name when he gets angry, "He may not die, but his No one dares to go to the opera garden anymore, he will be forced to transfer the Changchun Garden and lose his source of income, and then," a grim smile rose from the corner of his mouth, "his former enemies will come and make trouble for him, and his wife and daughter will be killed. If they are bullied by others, their family will be bullied and their life would be worse than death, this is the reality!"

The atmosphere became more and more condensed with Du Feng's words. Except for Du Feng, the five of them were all from warlord families, and they couldn't really understand the struggle of these low-level people to survive.And Du Feng also put another question in front of their eyes, was the invasion of the great powers pushing the country to the point where the people were in dire straits?From the Opium War in 1840 to the present, 76 years have passed. In the past 76 years, was it the greedy invasion of the great powers that made the country precarious, or was it because of the warlords? ?
