Battle in Changsha in the Qingming Festival

Behind.

Hu Xiangjun pulled Ping An in front of Sheng Qili, and said to him tenderly, "Come in Ping An, call Aunt Sheng."

"Aunt Sheng." Ping An called out softly, with a pink face, which was extremely cute.

Knowing that Hu Xiangxiang was coming back today, Xue Junshan deliberately changed shifts with the others. As soon as he came back, he hugged Pingan with sugar in his mouth, "Good boy, do you miss Dad!"

Ping An nodded his chubby head, "Think."

Xue Junshan kissed his son's soft cheek, "So cute."

"Jun Shan, don't you see that there are still guests here? There is no distinction at all, no rules!" Hu Changning has always disliked Xue Junshan, and couldn't get used to his hooligan habits.

"Old man Yue, you are in a hurry to meet a slow doctor, and you are not outsiders, what are you talking about? Isn't it, son?" Xue Junshan ignored Hu Changning's panic, and had fun with Ping An .

"I really don't know the so-called, dead wood is hard to carve!"

After dinner, the Sheng family siblings and the Hu family sat together, chatting about family matters.

Xue Junshan put Ping An on the wooden horse, sat down with his legs crossed, shook the wooden horse with one hand, and cleared his throat.

"While everyone is here today, I will tell you about it first."

Seeing his serious expression, everyone stopped talking, looked at him, and waited for him to speak.

"Our security department received a secret order yesterday, saying..." He had a rare hesitation, frowning, as if he couldn't speak, "Once the Japanese army approaches Changsha, they will immediately set fire to the city!"

When they suddenly heard such remarks, although their faces were different, they reached a consensus on their point of view: that is, this is simply impossible!

But for Sheng Qili, it was a stone that stirred up thousands of waves, her breathing became faster, her face became dark, her brows were tangled together, her mouth was half-opened, as if she had realized something.

She finally knew the crux of the problem that had been pestering her all night, but she had never figured it out.

Gu Qingming's reminder is most likely related to the burning of the city!

Hu Changning didn't believe it, and made a long face, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Yue Laozi, you are reading and pedantic, no matter how bad I am, Xue Junshan, I will not make fun of such a matter of life and death."

"There are still many people in this city who have not left. It is impossible for them to order the fire without saying a word." Grandma Hu's family also did not believe that the government would make such a ridiculous decision.

"Anyway, I'm putting it here, believe it or not. If the fire really starts to burn, don't say I didn't remind my family."

Hu Xiangjun hugged Ping An, "Junshan, did you really issue such an order?"

Facing Hu Xiangjun's question, Xue Junshan couldn't help but froze his face, frowned, and gritted his teeth: "The documents are all downloaded, so there can be fakes! I told everyone at the risk of being executed."

Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help but look anxious, Hu Xiangxiang stood up, "Brother-in-law, is this true?"

Amidst the doubts, Sheng Qili's calm and self-sufficient voice stood out.

"I believe!"

"Sister?" Sheng Chengzhi looked at Sheng Qili's dignified expression, he didn't believe it at first, but now, he began to feel uneasy.

"Grandma Hu, Uncle Hu. A friend in the army reminded me yesterday that Changsha City is not safe these days, so I should find a way to leave as soon as possible. Things. Today, I got confirmation from Captain Xue."

Xue Junshan looked at Sheng Qili in astonishment. She really couldn't underestimate her connections. Someone reminded her of such a secret. It seems that the relatives are really married, "Look, there are still people with a clear head."

Seeing that two people said so, it doesn't seem like a lie.

Hu Changning was the first to react, he had to choose to believe, "The government really issued such an absurd order?" Then his emotions became agitated, "Is there no one to stand up and object?"

"Generalissimo Jiang made the order himself. He decided on it himself. Go talk to him and see if he agrees." Xue Junshan pointed outside, signaling Hu Changning to ask if he had any questions.

"By the way, Laozi Yue, don't be as excited outside as you are at home. If you are not careful, you will catch fire first and expose this matter!"

Hu Changning was already in a state of madness, with an expression of grief and indignation, as if he wished he could pull the boss down in front of him and give him a good lecture. Is this kind of order that ignores human life casually given?

"Should they only be allowed to set fire, and no one else should be allowed to talk about it!"

Xue Junshan put his hands on the back of the chair, smiled as if it had nothing to do with him, and hung it high.

"Okay, then you can spread the word everywhere, and the whole family will accompany you to kill your head!"

founding father's birthday

After discussing with the Hu family for a long time, by the time Sheng Qili and the others left, the night had already covered the sparkling water of the Xiangjiang River, the moon shone on the water, and the water reflected the moon.

The heavy footsteps of the three echoed in the silent street.

"Chengzhi, you go to the train station tomorrow and buy a train ticket for the day after tomorrow. If you don't have one, you can delay it by another day."

Sheng Chengzhi held Hu Xiangxiang's hand, fearing that she would fall because she couldn't see the road clearly. Hearing Sheng Qili's words, he nodded in the dark night and said, "Okay! I'll go early tomorrow morning."

Sheng Qili turned her head, and the cold moonlight hit half of her cheeks, as if wearing a light and breathable veil.

"Xiangxiang, take the medicine with you, in case someone gets a headache and fever on the way."

Sheng Qili and Hu Xiangxiang put the urgent and ready-to-use items into the suitcase.After a busy morning, Sheng Chengzhi and his suitcases were packed to the brim.

She wiped off the sweat from her forehead and looked out the window, everything was as usual, the maid was watering the flowers and cleaning, her laid-back appearance seemed to be much more relaxed than the two people in the room.

Hu Xiangxiang sat sleepily on the edge of the bed, fanning the wind slowly with his hands, stealing a bit of coolness.

"Sister, Xiangxiang!" Sheng Chengzhi pushed the door and walked in. The boy's clothes room was still filled with the cold air of early winter. As soon as he spoke, the hot air turned into mist and rushed upwards when it became cold.

"How's it going?" Hu Xiangxiang asked hurriedly, not as tired as before, but seemed a little more anxious than Sheng Qili.

"I went to the train station to ask. The tickets for the 13th have been sold out, so I bought the one for the next day."

Sheng Qili felt that it was not too late for a day or two, if the weather was really bad and the Japanese came too fast, if they had no time to leave, they would hide in the countryside first.

"Take the bus tickets first."

"Give it to Xiangxiang!"

Sheng Chengzhi made a decision without any hesitation. He made an appointment with Hu Changning this afternoon to attend the commemoration of the founding father's birthday. There were so many people that it was inconvenient to take it with him.

She had no objection, thinking of Hu Xiaoman who was going to leave together, she instructed Sheng Chengzhi.

"Chengzhi, take a break and run again, tell Xiaoman to pack your luggage."

"Sister, why don't you go with Xiangxiang, I will attend the celebration meeting later!"

As Sheng Chengzhi said, it was not too early to see the sky, and after taking a sip of water, he got up and left again, not even breathing well.

Sheng Qili was curious about what he needed to do, so urgently.Hu Xiangxiang was overjoyed, so he answered the questions indirectly for her.

"Today is the anniversary of the founding father's birthday, so I can just drag Xiaoman along to join in the fun."

"They invited you?"

She felt surprised, Sheng Chengzhi was so talented, even if those people were unreliable, they wouldn't invite a yellow-haired boy to such a formal celebration.

"Before Dad left, he gave me the invitation letter and told me to go on his behalf. It also happened that my father-in-law was going to speak on stage on behalf of the academic world, so I couldn't just run away because of my own reasons." His speech became more and more mature and stable, just like an adult.

"That's it." He hesitated for a few seconds, "Okay, Xiangxiang and I will come and see later."

"Xiao Man, this year is really lively."

"That's right. I heard that the government spent a lot of money this year."

Sheng Qili was dragged towards the crowd by Hu Xiangxiang, Hu Xiaoman opened the way ahead, and the three of them squeezed to the front after a while.

Hu Xiaoman pointed at the representatives from all walks of life sitting in the audience participating in the celebration, elbowed Hu Xiangxiang, and made fun of her, "Look, your little old lady is here too!"

Sheng Qili followed Hu Xiaoman's fingers and saw Sheng Chengzhi sitting in the third row talking with someone.

Hu Xiangxiang stood on tiptoe and tried to look forward. Hu Xiaoman laughed when he saw her.

"Xiangxiang, I told you to eat more, and you still said to maintain your figure. Look, you can't grow taller now, and you can't even see your little man."

Hu Xiangxiang stomped on Hu Xiaoman hard, "Don't say a few words, hemorrhoids will grow on your mouth?"

Hu Xiaoman's face was ferocious, he hugged his feet and screamed.

"The most poisonous woman's heart, Mencius said it very well, but villains and women are difficult to raise."

"You are stupid, that's what Confucius said, you are uneducated!"

Hu Xiangxiang and Hu Xiaoman, the twins, were little enemies. They had quarreled since childhood, and if they didn't rub each other for a day, they would feel uncomfortable all over.

Sheng Qili ignored the quarrel between the two and watched the celebration with the mentality of watching a performance.

There was a row of leaders sitting on the stage, each with a cup of tea in front of them, and after the leader had finished his speech, he changed to the next leader, and this cycle went on and on. She was bored watching it, but the others looked excited and proud. , even the two chattering people around them listened intently to the speech above.

The applause was overwhelming, and representatives from all walks of life took the stage to speak one by one, pushing the celebration to another climax. When it was Hu Changning's turn to speak on behalf of the academic community, Hu Xiangxiang and Hu Xiaoman looked excited, and Hu Xiaoman even enthusiastically patted the stranger beside him shoulder, "Look, it's my dad who is speaking!"

When Hu Changning bowed to express his thanks, the applause from the two of them was the strongest.

Those senior officials left one by one
