According to the ranking of the Hu family, Hu Shanghui should be ranked eighth, and there are seven brothers and sisters above him, but because he came to Haishi at a young age, he has no impression of his former brothers and sisters, and the only thing he knows is the eldest brother and sister, and then there is a "second brother" who is said to have been sent to study abroad.

In fact, the second brother should be the fourth brother, but the Hu family forgot what happened before the escape, so they naturally made this ranking "right", so Hu Shanghui became the "little third".

He didn't have much impression of this legendary second brother, because he and the aunt who gave birth to him were not at home, and if he couldn't see him, he naturally wouldn't miss it, he had no feelings, and naturally he wouldn't care.

It's just that I'm still a little curious, why go abroad to study?

After he went to school, he also knew a little about it, for example, the quality of teaching abroad is good, and many teachers in the university are returned students who have studied in foreign schools, and they are particularly cultured and temperamental, and that feeling, "Mies", "Mister", not to say a few "Saparez", I am embarrassed to say hello.

At that time, foreign languages were like a fashion, and the umbrellas and dresses they brought were fashionable, so even they had to wear suits and ties, and they were embarrassed to go out to socialize without a pair of leather shoes on their feet.

At this time, even though Hu Shanghui knew that the eldest lady had no good impression of the second brother born to the aunt, he still had some expectations.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this little expectation that when we meet again, I find that the second brother who looks like an old pedant, he is extremely disappointed in his heart, and he has more disdain in words, such a second brother does not have the grandeur of the eldest brother at all, so he disdains it.

It is rare to agree with the eldest wife's point of view, he is very cold and alienated from the second brother, and never tells his classmates that there is such a second brother, the second brother who is dirty.

However, such a second brother is not an antique bottle, nor is he really an old pedant who is holding a bunch of old books to study, he always has to walk around, and that day, he met the second brother at school.

At that time, there were some equally fashionable friends by his side, Hu Shanghui just wanted to walk away quickly before the other party greeted him uninterestingly, just pretending not to see and not know, but he didn't expect someone to talk to the second brother, and then disagreed with his answer and quarreled.

Out of curiosity, or out of some short-term consideration, he surrounded him with his friends, just to watch the excitement.

“...... What are we learning for, is to make more people live a better life, now**, let those foreigners run rampant, what is wrong with boycotting foreign goods, we not only have to not buy ourselves, but also let others not buy, do not allow them to do business here, and drive them all back......"

is very agitatory, many students have recently gone on strike, just to boycott foreigners, Hu Shanghui did not participate, not that he disagrees with these people, but that he is more sensible and unwilling to make a rafter for his head and give others an excuse to attack Hu's father.

Sometimes he will complain to a few of his friends, obviously it is such a meaningful thing, but because of his background and identity, he just can't come forward to agree, but it seems that he is not progressive enough.

Some people gradually gathered around, because the students were talking about the ideas that were generally agreed upon at the moment, and some students who had also demonstrated □□ came to support, all of them with small voices, and the language was very agitating, as if giving a speech, which also made the people around them listen to the blood boiling.

Hu Shanghui was also affected, and regarded the second brother opposite as a stubborn stone hindering progress, and he had to be moved away.

"And then?" Hu Shangrong chuckled, he wore a thick wine bottle bottom, almost covering half of his face, and the only remaining half of his face was the inherent emaciation of literati, just an ordinary and potentially pedantic teacher, when he spoke, he didn't particularly amplify the volume, almost no one heard clearly, but because he knew that he was speaking, the surroundings politely quieted for a while, waiting for his words.

"And then? Again to close the country again, waiting for other people's foreign guns and cannons to open the country and sign one unequal treaty after another?" There was a faint mockery in the words, the volume was still not loud, but the surroundings were too quiet, so everyone heard this sentence clearly, and the blood was cold.

"How can you say that......" The male student disagreed, he was promoting his ideas normally at the beginning - the students of this era love to do such things, just like a pyramid scheme, desperately brainwashing people, the difference is that they are convinced of what they promote, and they do not deliberately deceive others to make profits.

Perhaps because of this, their speeches were particularly passionate, and sometimes, with a brick under their feet, they could be loudly advertised in the street until they were dispersed by the patrolling police.

"Isn't that what you want to say? Because you are afraid of aggression, because you are tired of aggression, as if you hate the neighbor who always comes to your house uninvited to get something, you close the door, lock yourself up, lock up the house and keep it from being seen, you don't let people take it, and you are like a turtle, because no one can see it when you shrink your head, but you don't know that as long as those people lift your shell, you don't even have a 'door,' how can you close it?"

Hu Shangrong's words were very polite, he helped his glasses, and the mocking arc at the corner of his mouth made him completely different from those old pedants at this moment, and even the straight back had a certain meaning of struggle.

"Those who are out of touch with society will eventually be abandoned by society, and those who are cut off from the world will eventually be forgotten by the world. Sometimes, this kind of forgetting is not simply forgetting, and the best way for a country to forget it is to turn it into a written record that only exists in a history book. ”

Ignoring the disapproving eyes of others, and not giving people a chance to interject, Hu Shangrong, who was standing there, was obviously an outsider, but he was as calm as a master, his point of view, his opinion was a little subversive to Hu Shanghui.

It seems that I have always thought that apples are only red, but one day I saw green and yellow, and if I think about it carefully, it seems that there can be black, not because of the three views, but because the three views have been enriched a lot.

"What do you come to school to learn knowledge for, to change your destiny, to think about your future, and even to think about the future of the country, but the basis for doing this is that you have enough knowledge, and now? For the sake of a ridiculous theory, you start to strike □□, delay your time to shout at others, wait for others to be afraid to give in, how stupid it must be to do such a fruitless and time-wasting thing. ”

"Haven't you learned the saying that time is money? A waste of time is a waste of life. Life is limited, shouldn't you use your limited life to create glory, but use your limited life to quarrel with others, scold the streets......, and shout slogans?

"Okay, this classmate, I have no objection to your propaganda and struggle for your ideals, but I hope you don't make this kind of thing of spreading ideas into forced membership, we are all thinking people, our thoughts may be the same, they may be contradictory, but before the final argument is made who is right, please allow me to keep my own point of view and work for the country in my own way. ”

The male student opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know where to start, the impact of Hu Shangrong's words may not be subversive, but it also opened a skylight, allowing people to think about something else.

"I can still understand it like this!"

"Yes, I think he has a point, the Tang Dynasty was the strongest in history, and there were people of all nationalities at that time, and I didn't see anyone who didn't let them come, but the emperor was still the Khan of Tian?

"As I said a long time ago, industry is also a way to save the country, and it is even more difficult to walk. ”

"Thank you, teacher, for your advice. ”

When the crowd dispersed, a few students went over to bow to Hu Shangrong, and the last barrier in front of Hu Shanghui was gone, he raised his eyes a little embarrassed, just facing Hu Shangrong, through the thick lenses, he couldn't see what was in Hu Shangrong's eyes, but he hesitated, and still stepped forward and called "Second brother." ”

This is the first time he has admitted this second brother in front of outsiders and in front of his friends.

Even if he didn't look sideways, he seemed to be able to see the surprised eyes of his friends, but because of his tutor, no one asked him face-to-face, but he followed him and honestly stepped forward to call his second brother.

The brief episode did not affect Hu Shanghui's life, until one day Hu Shangrong handed him a notebook and asked him to find a way to give it to the New Party.

Hu Shanghui involuntarily plucked out his ears because he had misheard at that time, and asked in shock: "Are you their person?"

"No, I'm not. Hu Shangrong shook his head, didn't say anything more, and left in a hurry, he was always accompanied by bodyguards, and it was rare to be able to find time to do this thing.

Hu Shanghui, who inexplicably has a bit of a thief mentality, endured the curiosity of scratching his liver and lungs in his heart, and continued his life as if nothing happened, but he "encountered" his second brother a few times.

"Why are you doing that?"

"Maybe it's a little whimsical, but I don't think you should put your eggs in one basket, important things always need to be supervised, and they're a good store, aren't they?"

Hu Shanghui didn't say anything at the time, and then he began to learn about the New Party through various channels, he had heard that the New Party was like bandits, deceiving the common people or something, but after really understanding it, he found that they did better than the government in some things, so he ......

The second brother like a skeleton was carried back, the sixth aunt was the first to squeeze up, followed by Father Hu and the eldest lady who had opened some distance, Hu Shanghui could only be ranked last, but he still had time to pass, he knew that the second brother was no longer visible, so he took the hand of the bones and drew a checkmark in his palm.

Seeing the second brother smiling and nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief, he was much more relieved to give away such a hot thing, as for the rest...... Whether right or wrong is to be proved by time, he is not as worried about the country and the people as he imagined.

Many years later, the long-awaited peace came, and Hu Shanghui, who had two children, thought of the changes in the past few years again, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, everything has changed as the second brother said, he never thought that the conditions for peace were so simple, as long as a bomb powerful enough to shock the world.

And that person, the first person to think so, and the one who did it, had no way to see the scene he expected.
