After Shen Lingjun left, Shaoting went back to his room. He changed the clothes he was wearing today, and the two brass faucets in the bathroom were spouting water.After soaking in the bathtub, he sank slowly. The warm water covered his nose and covered his mouth. After soaking in this way for a while, he felt tired. He sat up straight again, with his arms across the edge of the bathtub, Lie on your head.

After a while, the unhealthy young man with fair skin who rarely sees sunlight, took a nap, tilted his head, and saw the tall and thin young man looking at him with a smile in his half-dream and half-awake.

Xu Shaoting shouted: "Brother."

Subconsciously, I was already thinking: dreaming.

But struggling to escape the dream, senior brother Shen Lingjun, who is a fan of thousands of people, walked towards him, Xu Shaoting said dazedly: "It's all my fault, your clothes are all wet, don't catch a cold."

The young man smiled and said, "Why have you been staring at me?"

Xu Shaoting jerked violently, his head slipped off his arms, he took a sip of his own bath water, scratched wildly with both hands, and struggled to get out of the water while holding onto the edge of the bathtub.

It's just that his face was blushing, and he didn't know if it was steamed by the hot tide, or if seeing the looming six-pack abs under the wet white shirt in his dream reminded him of something.

--

Because of this, Xu Shaoting doubted his integrity.

Xu Huaiqing went home a little early this evening - he even got home before dinner.

Xu Huaiqing changed into his home clothes, chatted with his daughter Zhenzhen, and then strolled to his son Shaoting's room.

He and his son have always had nothing to say, almost always looking for something to say, but Xu Huaiqing is also persistent and refuses to give up the opportunity to communicate with the child.

Now that Xu Shaoting is following Zhang Qiuren in class, Xu Huaiqing has a reason to test his homework.

Xu Shaoting was made like a mouse seeing a cat by his actions, and he didn't want to see Xu Huaiqing, wishing that this cheap dad would work overtime every day.

——Xu Huaiqing really wanted to chat with him, so couldn't he find something else to talk about?

Now Xu Shaoting was sitting in front of the desk, his head was still thinking about Shen Lingjun dizzily, he was greatly surprised, and was running towards a direction he had never thought of.

Xu Huaiqing took the textbook and tested a few sentences of the knowledge in the textbook, Xu Shaoting answered all of them, but it was obvious that his mind was not here.

Xu Huaiqing put down his textbook and asked abruptly, "What are you worrying about?"

Xu Shaoting replied absent-mindedly: "Brother Ling Jun has a really good figure."

Xu Huaiqing sighed and replied amusedly: "He is a graduate of a military academy and an officer in service, so he naturally has a good figure. Do you want to be like him?"

Xu Shaoting's heart beat wildly for a while, he came back to his senses, and realized what he just said, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, ordinary people don't think in the direction of sexual orientation, Xu Huaiqing took this opportunity to take care of his body, and even acted as a loving father at dinner, using serving chopsticks to pick up a lot of beef for Xu Shaoting.

It was Mrs. Zhang who was puzzled and stopped him aloud: "What are you doing to feed him so much meat at night, it will be bad if you accumulate food."

Xu Huaiqing had no choice but to pinch it back.

Zhenzhen said: "I know, Dad must be thinking that my brother is too thin, so eat more beef. Isn't that what everyone says? Drinking milk and eating beef can make you look as strong as a white man."

Mrs. Zhang immediately changed her tone: "That's the truth. Shaoting is also growing tall, so it's okay to eat more."

Xu Shaoting, who was the center of the topic but had always been hidden, looked at Xu Huaiqing hesitantly when he saw what the two women said. He didn't know where to put the chopsticks, Xu Shaoting's heart was sore and soft.

People like Xu Huaiqing can become a little dull because of the relationship between father and son.

Zhang's and Zhenzhen's concern for Xu Shaoting is even more undisguised.

People are not grass and trees, who can be careless?

Shaoting said in a low voice, "I can eat it."

His current body has a lot of appetite, and this age is not the time to grow his body.

It was Xu Yanran who glanced at her brother, and said first: "When I first met Shaoting, a skinny child was really unbearable."

Xu Yanran snorted when she said this, "I don't know, I thought sister-in-law didn't feed the child."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Xu Yanran, and said in a calm tone: "It's my fault. I didn't take good care of Shaoting. Thank you. After living here, Shaoting has two glasses of milk every day, and his face is rounder than before. .”

Xu Shaoting with some flesh on his face: No...it's like eating biscuits and cakes every day.

However, he also thought optimistically that the original body was indeed too thin, and now that some flesh was eating on his face, he could be called a beautiful boy.

Hmm...beautiful boy?This description seems a bit shocking...

Xu Yanran didn't know what to say after receiving Zhang's gratitude.

She turned her head, feeling a little embarrassed, and said lightly: "You're welcome, as an aunt, I should too... You should stop thinking about old traditional things in the future. As women in the new era, we must take the essence and discard it." It's the dross."

Mrs. Zhang said: "I'm also reading more books and learning to read newspapers every day. After a while, I also want to find something to do."

Xu Yanran: "That's great...whatever you want to do, open a store or whatever, I will support you."

After some exchanges, Zhenzhen was dumbfounded: "Is this still mother and aunt?"

Xu Shaoting was also very surprised: The relationship between these two women is not that bad?

As the head of the family, Xu Huaiqing praised the students like a head teacher: "This is very good. When people are busy and have serious things to do, they will improve. Otherwise, they will be idle all day long, even if they are not sick. Get sick."

After Xu Huaiqing finished speaking, he felt that what he said was very reasonable, but Mrs. Zhang ignored him. Zhenzhen leaned over her head and asked Xu Shaoting in a low voice if he had written a new chapter in "The Great Way to Immortals" today.

Xu Yanran also said: "Hurry up and eat, this is not your class, and you are not a teacher anymore."

Xu Huaiqing wanted to say more, but Xu Yanran winked, the brother and sister grew up together, Xu Huaiqing shut up, after this meal, Xu Yanran told him about the Japanese officer that his nephew and Shen Lingjun met in the afternoon.

At this time, Shaoting was sorting out the manuscripts in his bedroom. Zhenzhen was holding the latest chapter of the novel, and the little girl was lying in his room, sitting cross-legged on the low bench, cherishing it very much, it was like reading some shocking masterpiece Generally speaking, he carefully read the novel without letting go of a single word.

This made Xu Shaoting a little ashamed. To be honest, [-]/[-]% of online articles are works that don’t matter at a glance. Zhenzhen and Xu Yanran take this novel written by him so seriously, which puts him a little pressure on the contrary.

Therefore, I wrote it more seriously, for fear of being sorry to these two readers.

Just thinking of this, Xu Shaoting realized that he hadn't listened to Shen Lingjun's opinion. If he, a banana man with a decent level of Chinese, thought it looked good, then this work could be called a "success".

In "Spring Breeze", Xu Shaoting used Zhixing's pen name, while "Da Dao" used his previous pen name, Qian Feng Mingyue.

Xu Yanran asked him why he changed his pen name.

Out of some considerations, Xu Shaoting replied: "One pen name has one style, and besides, it's not normal to change pen names."

For example, as far as he knew, the author he liked very much in the period of the Republic of China often changed his pen name. Of course, there were some political factors in it.

What's more, Xu Shaoting didn't tell his family: Zhixing's articles are so serious, and he was criticized like a dog.

Zhixing's pseudonym is also used in "The Way of the Great Dao", which is not considered "serious" and "eight classics". Wouldn't he be more eager to send material to those critics who are full?

Before Zhenzhen finished reading this chapter, the servant at home knocked on the door of the room, got permission to poke her head in and said, "Master, the master wants you to go to the study."

Zhenzhen turned the pages with her head down, and said in a pitiful tone, "Dad, is he going to test my brother's homework again?"

Xu Shaoting remembered Xu Yanran's eyes at the dinner table, and said to Zhenzhen: "You watch first, I will come as soon as I go."

When we reached the second floor and entered the study room, we saw Xu Yanran and Xu Huaiqing, one sitting and the other standing.

Xu Huaiqing leaned against the desk, lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, it's just that this person has a perverse and cruel personality, and he's also used to being arrogant in the land of China, alas! Who made the poor in our country weak, so we have to let these Japanese dwarfs do whatever they want! "

Xu Shaoting: Japanese dwarf?Sure enough, he was talking about the afternoon.

When Xu Huaiqing said this, when he saw Xu Shaoting coming in, the two looked at each other, Xu Shaoting still couldn't call him "father" and "father", so he never called Xu Huaiqing when they talked.

Normally, Xu Huaiqing would always take the initiative to talk to him, this has not yet become apparent, but now they are looking at each other, neither of them speak first.

Xu Yanran felt something was wrong, and asked out loud, "Both of you, father and son... Shaoting, why have you never heard your voice..."

Xu Shaoting said decisively: "Then what is the origin of the Japanese military officer?"

Xu Yan then kept half a sentence in her heart: I have never called my father aloud.

The next words were still explained by Xu Yanran, she said: "The Japanese officer's name is Mochizuki Saburo, and the girl with him should be Mochizuki Haruko, they are exactly a pair of brothers and sisters."

"Mochizuki Saburo's rank of Lieutenant." Xu Yanran was afraid that his nephew would not understand, so he thought about adding, "Compared to Ryan and your senior brother Shen Lingjun, theoretically, he is one level higher than Lingjun."

"However, the British have more face than the Japanese." Xu Huaiqing said in a cold voice, "So Mochizuki Saburo must always give Lingjun some face."

Xu Yanran nodded lightly: "It's also fortunate that Lingjun is by your side today, otherwise the character of Saburo Mochizuki described by your father may not let you leave easily."

Xu Shaoting: "What kind of personality is this person?"

He saw that Xu Huaiqing's expression was extremely ugly, and Xu Huaiqing took a deep look at him: "If you meet Mochizuki Saburo again, don't have any communication with him, and don't pay attention to him, just leave when you see him. "

Xu Shaoting was silent for a few seconds, Xu Huaiqing: "Shaoting?"

Xu Shaoting looked at him suddenly: "What exactly do you do? Your job, your ideal, I shouldn't interrupt and ask, these are all personal choices."

"But you still have a family, a wife and children, a younger sister, and even farther away, your parents and brothers." Xu Shaoting looked at Xu Huaiqing, "I hope you can have more dreams at the same time as you pursue your ideals." Think about your family and friends."

It took some courage for Shao Ting to finish this passage in one breath. If possible, he did not want to say these words to Xu Huaiqing.

But it wasn't just that he saw the Japanese soldier touching his waist today and saw the live ammunition, which made him, who came from the peaceful era a hundred years later and saw the real guy for the first time, panic.

It was also in the threatening words of the Japanese military officer Mochizuki Sanlang, looking at the cheap family members tonight, sister Zhenzhen, mother Zhang, and aunt Xu Yanran, he couldn't help but think that in fact, he had already regarded them in his heart. My real relatives.

Maybe the relationship is not deep enough, but it is definitely not the feeling that you can see that they are in danger and you can stay out of it.

He hopes that everyone can live until the Chinese people stand up, and live until a hundred years later, when there will be peace and no more humiliation and war.

He also wanted them to see: You see, even though it is a stormy day, one day we Chinese people will stand up and say that we are not inferior to whites and Japanese.

Let me just say, this is China’s Shanghai, this is China’s three eastern provinces, and this is China’s Beiping—every inch of land here belongs to the Chinese people who have grown up here for generations on this land.

Xu Yanran was slightly surprised, the young man's words were already a little blunt, her elder brother Xu Huaiqing was quite silent for a moment, and did not answer the child's words.

The atmosphere that was so silent that it was almost a bit heavy permeated the father and son, Xu Yanran hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? Shaoting, your father has his own considerations, besides, your father did nothing wrong..."

Speaking of this, Xu Yanran was also a little dissatisfied: "You don't understand your father's pursuit, he is not wrong."

After these words were finished, the two saw the boy suddenly stretch out his hand and rubbed his face fiercely.

He looked listless, and looked at Xu Huaiqing tiredly, and the two said as if he had lost all strength: "I know you are right... I also admire the patriotic young people at this time."

"Forget it, I thought too much." Xu Shaoting let out a sigh of relief, "I'm too timid, I was scared."

Anyway, Shanghai should be considered safe.

It's just aggrieved, a Japanese is so arrogant in Shanghai.

What's even more frustrating is that Shen Lingjun has to reveal his identity as a British officer in order to control this overbearing.

"Mr. Xu, you must live a long life." Xu Shaoting sighed.

At least please see that we Chinese people stood up in [-] and see a peaceful and strong China a hundred years later.Let you know that whether it is you or the rest of the people who are fighting for it in this era, they all know that their cries and struggles are not in vain.

Xu Huaiqing sorted out his thoughts, and laughed when his son suddenly said this sentence as if he was reconciling himself: "You are really talking to yourself, I don't even know what I want to say."

Xu Shaoting shook his head: "I was talking too much, so I'll go back to my room first."

When Xu Huaiqing saw that he was leaving, everyone turned around, and he suddenly called out, "Young Court."

Xu Shaoting looked back at him, the expression on Xu Huaiqing's handsome face finally became complicated.

"If possible, I will probably send you to live in Hong Kong in the future."

"Hmm..." Xu Shaoting nodded.

Indeed, Hong Kong is safer.

Xu Huaiqing asked again: "Are you willing to study abroad?"

Xu Shaoting quickly shook his head: "My English is not good enough."

Come to think of it, he said: "I still want to concentrate on writing fiction."

Xu Huaiqing didn't force it: "You have this talent, so don't waste it, I support your choice."

Xu Shaoting smiled politely, thinking that the words should be finished by now, if not, Zhenzhen might come up to find someone.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huaiqing was staring at him. This man had amber light-colored eyes, and suddenly said: "The Ministry of Education's annual funding for students studying abroad accounts for nearly half of the annual fiscal revenue. Nowadays, Huaxia can be said to be the power of the whole country to send students there. Learn advanced knowledge overseas.”

Xu Shaoting: "Eh... still want me to study abroad?"

"The number of returnees is less than one-tenth and a half." Xu Huaiqing suddenly smiled, but the smile was too miserable.

It's so tragic that it can make people feel two points miserable.

"Liaoning needs to build ships, and the military factories in the three eastern provinces are also asking for money. China, North China, China, North China and South China are all clamoring to build railways." Xu Huaiqing said, "But there is no money, so I made an idea to the Ministry of Education to ask for a reduction in funding for international students."

"The Minister of Finance said: He went abroad with a high scholarship, and after a few years, he changed his nationality, or married a white Japanese woman and stayed abroad, and he was ashamed to mention his home country. The first one scolded the most viciously. It has nothing to do with Huaxia at all, so why pay high scholarships for it? How about leaving it to us to repair railways, build ships, and support industries?"

Xu Shaoting: After all, the second devil is more ruthless than the real devil. Even if you put it in a hundred years, China will not be as miserable as it is now, and many people will still be spiritually white Japanese.

Xu Huaiqing: "However, who will build the railway? Who will build the ship? Who will draw the blueprint and build the military factory? You can't just hire foreigners to do these things. If they are willing to come, can we trust them?"

"Yes, there are many overseas students, and half of them refuse to return to China."

"But there are always three or four students who are willing to come back."

"Long night is hard to see, and there is no light in the darkest hour, so there will always be someone who is willing to turn himself into a torch to become that light."

Xu Shaoting didn't know what to say, he turned around, Xu Huaiqing looked at things differently from him, he was not an aborigine in this era, he was developed from the entertainment industry, immersed in variety shows, TV shows, online shopping and express delivery every day, and went out for travel when he had nothing to do A person who came after a hundred years to purify the soul.

He couldn't imagine the mentality of people of this age living and dying with the country. He was doomed to care more about "self" when he grew up, and he cared more about his own feelings and the safety of his relatives and friends.

"Shao Ting, I'm sorry...I'm not a good father." Xu Huaiqing said to him behind his back.

Xu Shaoting knew that this person had wanted to say an apology for a long time, but it was of no use to say it to him.

"Stay firm on your own path and go." Xu Shaoting wiped his eyes, "There's no need to say sorry, I'm the one who should say sorry."

Xu Yanran held her breath and didn't dare to make a sound. She had been a wallflower for a long time, and when she saw the father and son like this, she smiled carefully: "You father and son are both so stubborn, why bother? Let me tell you, isn't it just a matter of life?" Is it a small matter, how do you say that the sky is about to fall? Go back to your room, take a hot bath and relax, don't be so bitter and bitter all day long."

When the words fell, the boy had already opened the door and walked out of the study.

But he turned his head quickly and said heavily, "I'm sorry."

... The real Xu Shaoting can no longer come back.

Xu Yanran was speechless, the boy had already closed the door and slipped away.

"You two are vying to apologize, but I don't understand why you are apologizing?"

"It's all that Mochizuki Saburo's fault, what's wrong with you two?" Xu Yanran snorted, but her brows were already frowned.
