Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Mu Qiong used to buy a lot of books to keep at home, but recently, these books were moved to the orphanage one after another by Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu.

First, they stayed here for a long time, and they read books here, and second, they brought them here, so they could show them to the children in the orphanage.

Of course, those children still can't understand, and they mainly rely on others to read to them, but Qi Xiufen, her two daughters, and Aunt Jin Huailai, Hong and others can barely understand.

What these people like most are elementary school textbooks and monthly educational magazines. As for other books, they basically can't read them.

It was precisely because they couldn't understand other books that when Mu Qiong was reading to the children in the orphanage, these people would come over and listen.

Today when Mu Qiong read "I'm in a Hundred Years Later", not only the children in the orphanage listened very seriously, but even Jin Huailai and others listened very carefully, and even those soldiers sent by Huo Ying to maintain the order of the orphanage , also holding guns, listening carefully, with yearning on their faces.

After listening, one of the soldiers, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, came up to Mu Qiong and asked, "Mr. Mu, do you think there will still be wars in 100 years?"

"Should not fight anymore." Mu Qiong said.

"Does that mean you are no longer a soldier?" the man asked again.

"Of course not, isn't it written in the story? After the earthquake, the soldiers went to rescue the disaster and rescue people." Mu Qiong said.

The soldier holding the gun sighed: "It's so good to do this..."

Mu Qiong looked at the soldier who was probably underage, thought of the upcoming civil war, sighed secretly, and asked again: "Are you literate?"

"I don't know." The soldier said.

"When the children in the orphanage learn to read, you can also learn."

"What do I learn to read?" The soldier was puzzled.

Mu Qiong said: "If you learn to read and write, you may be able to become a general in the future."

At this time, when people go to serve as soldiers, it has nothing to do with ideals and the like. Some of them want to have a living, and some... are directly recruited by others.

These people may be soldiers of warlord A today, lose the battle, surrender or be captured, and become soldiers of warlord B tomorrow, and lose again, and become soldiers of warlord C again.

Of course, those who survived like this are already considered lucky, and most of them died in battles.

One of the reasons why our party was able to grow rapidly later was that our party was kind to the people and patiently taught these soldiers to make people feel a sense of belonging, instead of treating these soldiers from Latin America as their own. Cannon fodder for trenches.

"How can I be a general!" The soldier scratched the back of his head embarrassingly.

"These children who would have starved to death on the street can now study, why can't you be a general?" Mu Qiong asked with a smile.

Those soldiers looked at each other.

They were obviously moved, and Mu Qiong said at this time: "I still want to ask you for a favor. You must have been soldiers for a long time, right? When you have time in the future, can you tell these children about the outside world?"

These people patted their chests and agreed.

Speaking of which, being able to come here with Huo Ying, none of them are recruits, at least they have been soldiers for two or three years, and the soldier who first started talking to Mu Qiong was pulled out when he was twelve or thirteen years old .

He doesn't even remember where his home is.

That night, it started to rain suddenly. It was light rain at first, but then it became heavier and heavier.

The rain fell from the sky and hit the roof with a "slapping" sound. Occasionally, a piece of light would light up in the sky, and then there was a "rumbling" thunder.

The orphanage is newly built, and the tiles used are good, and there is no rain leakage at all, but it is a bit stuffy.

"When it rained before, I always hid under the bridge. Now it's really good."

"I was living in a temple at the time."

"I used to hate rain the most. After it rained, I couldn't find anything to eat."

"One time it was very windy and rainy, and I didn't eat for three days."

……

The children of the orphanage stayed in the house, watching the torrential rain outside, many people's faces showed joy.

If they were still outside, they might get sick and die.

Mu Qiong was a little worried.

It was raining so hard that it was hard for them to go home.

"Qiong'er, shall we stay here for one night today?" Zhu Wanwan suggested, since there are extra beds and bedding here, they can definitely stay here for one night.

Mu Qiong had never lived here before, so he hesitated, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

However, before he agreed, he heard a voice: "Mr. Mu, are you still there, Mr. Mu?"

It was raining heavily, and the voice was a bit inaudible, but it was quite familiar...it should be Sun Dalin?

Mu Qiong thought of something, went into the house and took an umbrella, opened it and hurried to the entrance of the orphanage.

The gate of the orphanage was made of wood, and it was closed and bolted. When Mu Qiong opened the gate, he saw Fu Yun'an and Sun Dalin standing at the gate.

The two of them held an umbrella, the hem of their robes was wet, and there were water stains on their bodies.

"Doctor Fu, why are you here?" Mu Qiong frowned slightly.

He was a little angry at the moment, what did Fu Yun'an come here for in such a heavy rain?

"I happen to be nearby, so I stopped by to see if you've left." Fu Yun'an said.He didn't plan to come here today, but he didn't expect such a heavy rain... He came here specially: "It's raining heavily today, and the road is difficult to walk."

Mu Qiong: "..." Knowing that the road is difficult to walk, come here?

The sky suddenly brightened, and Mu Qiong saw Fu Yun'an's dark eyes through the rain curtain.

The anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Mu Qiong said: "Doctor Fu, wait a moment, I will go back with you."

"Okay." Fu Yunan said, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumbling thunder.

Mu Qiong looked at Fu Yun'an helplessly, and went back to the orphanage holding an umbrella, telling Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu that he was going home, and let Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu stay here.

"Brother, it's raining so hard, why are you going back?" Mu Changyu frowned.

"I'm going to have dinner with Sheng Chaohui tomorrow, it's better to go home and take care of myself." Mu Qiong said, took his things and walked out.

Mu Changyu curled his lips when he heard the words, complaining a little bit to Sheng Chaohui, but Zhu Wanwan frowned and looked at the door.

She felt that her son was leaving because of something to do with outsiders.

I don't know who that person is, so what's the matter with looking for my son?

Of course, her son has long been able to take charge of himself, so she doesn't need to talk too much.

Zhu Wanwan took her daughter back to wash up.

Mu Qiong was holding an umbrella, but he was walking home with Fu Yun'an.

He was a little angry at first, angry that Fu Yun'an came here even in the rain, but now he was a little moved.

It can be said that Fu Yun'an has...deep affection for him.

Mu Qiong didn't speak while thinking about it, and Fu Yun'an didn't speak either.

But behind the two, Sun Dalin was helpless.

The third young master doesn't take a good car, he insists on going with Mu Qiong, even with him...

well!I don't know when San Shao will be able to take him down.

Just as Sun Dalin was thinking so, he accidentally stepped into a puddle.

Wet shoes are uncomfortable, but cool too, aren't they?

Sun Dalin had fun while suffering.

Mu Qiong didn't feel bitter.I also think the rain scene looks pretty good.

Just thinking about it, he also stepped into a puddle.

Mu Qiong walked very carefully at the beginning, but now the shoes on his feet were already soaked, so he simply broke the jar and walked casually.

When he was a child, he always envied other children who could play with water and step on puddles, and now he can step on them too.

Fu Yun'an: "..." Mu Qiong... isn't she a little young?

After walking for a while, Mu Qiong said: "Doctor Fu, tomorrow is Sunday, and I won't go to work." So in the morning, don't wait deliberately.

"Okay." Fu Yun'an heard Mu Qiong's implication, and chuckled.Although Mu Qiong is young, he is also very mature.

The two arrived home and bid farewell at the door.

When Fu Yun'an returned home, the cook at home immediately brought ginger soup to him, and said, "Third Young Master, hot water is always prepared."

Fu Yunan nodded.He originally wanted to give Mu Qiong a ginger soup, but thought that Mu Qiong would have to come out in the rain to get it if he went to deliver it himself, so he gave up.

Taking the dry clothes, he went to wash up.

It's hot today, and you won't get sick if you get wet, but it's certain to be uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Mu Qiong was more sad, he had to make a fire to boil water by himself.

Of course, it is good to go home, after all, it is still comfortable at home.

Moo-joon takes a shower, puts on clean clothes and goes upstairs to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, the yard was still wet, but it was no longer raining, and even the sun was out in the east.

Mu Qiong took care of himself and went out.

He did make an appointment with Sheng Chaohui for dinner, but the appointment was at noon. As for the morning, he planned to go to the Commercial Press.

The commercial press has recently reprinted some of the three books "Studying Abroad", "Seeking a Doctor" and "English Essays", and he has a few hundred yuan in royalties to collect.

Mu Qiong had breakfast on the way to the Commercial Press, and after collecting the manuscript fee, he went to the bookstore.

He selected more than a dozen books in the bookstore, paid for one, and took one, while the rest were sent to the editorial department of Educational Monthly.

After buying the book, Mu Qiong went to the hotel that Sheng Chaohui had booked.

Today's meal was hosted by him and Sheng Chaohui, and all the teachers from Ping'an Middle School were invited to the banquet.

When Mu Qiong arrived, no one else came, so he entered the box to read a book. After reading for a while, Teacher Wei Tingzhong and others came together, and then Sheng Chaohui also hurried over: "Sorry, I was delayed by something on the way !"

This time, they invited all the teachers from Ping'an Middle School, and Mu Qiong got to know the Chinese teacher who replaced Sheng Chaohui.

After dinner, under Sheng Chaohui's suggestion, everyone changed to another place to have tea and chat.

A teahouse is a place for people to chat.

After going up, the most basic cost is two copper dollars per person.After paying, you can choose one kind of tea from chrysanthemum tea, green tea and black tea, and a plate of melon seeds is also given.

Then I can sit in the teahouse for a long time and hear that Mr. Shu is giving lectures.

Of course, after they went up, they didn't just drink the tea. Sheng Chaohui also ordered some snacks, melons and fruits, as well as a few kinds of braised meat. Everyone can chat while eating.

They chatted a lot, and new books like "Contagion" must be talked about. They chatted, and they talked about the current messy situation.

From Wei Ting's mouth, Mu Qiong learned a lot of things that he couldn't know from the newspapers.

"Isn't that a student from our Ping'an Middle School?" While chatting, Teacher Zhong pointed to a few students who entered the teahouse and looked around.

Mu Qiong looked over and saw those students. These students were no strangers to him. They were the students that he and Wei Ting had brought to Huo Ying's factory to teach. Now they were looking at the scene in the teahouse curiously.

Sheng Chaohui raised his hand and called these students over.

"Why did you come to the teahouse?" Sheng Chaohui asked.

These students have already asked the teachers present, and now they said: "We got paid, so we made an appointment to drink tea and buy books together."

"So that's the case, are you tired of teaching with Huo Ying?" Sheng Chaohui asked again.

These students have said that they are not tired.

When Mu Qiong saw them, he thought of Song Yanqiu whom he had been thinking about all along.

That Song Yanqiu was a villain in the original history.He wouldn't do anything to him when he didn't do anything, but he still decided to pay more attention when he had time. In addition, after learning from Huo Sanshao that the factory built by Huo Ying also included the factory that produced penicillin, Mu Qiong I want to go there again.

He made this request, and one of those few students immediately said: "Mr. Mu, the managers at the factory have asked us about you more than once. If you come over, they will definitely welcome you."

Another student said: "Workers in the factory don't have to work on Sunday afternoons. We plan to go there early and give them extra lessons. Teacher Mu, you can go there with us."

Mu Qiong couldn't ask for it, and immediately agreed.

After leaving the teahouse, Mu Qiong followed the group of students to Huo Ershao's factory, along with Wei Ting and Sheng Chaohui.

Sheng Chaohui went there purely to join in the fun. As for Wei Ting, he happened to be free today, so he planned to talk to Huo Ershao—it is said that Huo Ershao stayed at the factory all day recently.

A group of people took the tram to Huo Ershao's factory, and Mu Qiong noticed that the factory was much bigger, and there were more houses inside. In addition, there were more people entering and leaving, as well as soldiers at the door.

They went in after registering as before, and immediately the steward came.

"Mr. Mu, you are here!" The steward Mu Qiong met last time greeted with a smile, and made Mu Qiong a little embarrassed by his enthusiasm.

Knowing that Mu Qiong wanted to see the workers who had been studying, he immediately took Mu Qiong to the place where those workers lived.

When Mu Qiong came last time, there were only the first batch of workers here, but now there are many more, and at the moment, these workers are washing and drying clothes or something.

Seeing Mu Qiong and the others, these people greeted each other with smiling faces, and their dark faces were full of joy.

It can be seen that these people live well.

With a glance, Mu Qiong immediately noticed Song Yanqiu who stood out from the crowd.

Song Yanqiu was already quite tall, but he has grown even taller this month. In addition, he has fair skin and a good temperament, and the people around him still vaguely regard him as the leader, which is really very conspicuous.

Mu Qiong noticed Song Yanqiu, and Song Yanqiu also saw Mu Qiong and others.

He has always been very grateful to Mu Qiong for his appreciation at the beginning, and immediately came over to say hello, and said to others: "This is Mr. Mu! Mr. Mu who wrote "Study Abroad"!"

In the past, these workers mostly greeted the students of Ping An Middle School, but now, they all started to say hello to Mu Qiong, all of them looked very respectful.

Fortunately, they just politely said hello and dared not do anything else.

Mu Qiong also greeted them, and then looked at Song Yanqiu: "How are you studying recently?"

For Song Yanqiu, Mu Qiong is his idol, he immediately said: "I have read a lot of books recently, and I even read all of your books, sir..."

Mu Qiong wanted to know about Song Yanqiu's situation, and Song Yanqiu wanted to show off, but the two chatted more and more.

After Mu Qiong chatted with him, he was also very emotional.

He discovered that Second Young Master Huo... Maybe it was Third Young Master Huo, what a talent!

It's fine to find such young people to work, but also teach them to read and brainwash them... Song Yanqiu, a famous traitor and bandit in history, now aims to be the shopkeeper.

He even hated Japan because he had watched "Contagion".

Mu Qiong was in a good mood when he heard this.

But Huo Ershao, who came here specially to see Mu Qiong, was not in a good mood when he learned that Mu Qiong was here.

Who is this person standing with Mu Qiong?
