Chapter XXXVIII
After returning home, Zhou Min was still angry, and Mrs. Zhou was very puzzled when she saw this, so she asked what happened.
Under the explanations of Zhou Min and Xiaoxue, Mrs. Zhou realized that her daughter was angry with reporters.
"Okay, good daughter, don't be angry with them. The question asked by the reporter during the interview is a bit annoying, and you won't be so angry. β
"Mom, it's not that I'm careful, you weren't there at the time, otherwise you would be angry, you see, today's newspaper may be published with the title "Miss Zhou Family's Strong Return, Close Contact with the Northern Eighth Route Army", if this is published, Chairman Jiang will not send someone to kill us directly!!"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. It would be best for the chairman to send someone to say something to his face. You don't have to worry about that. Zhou Yaozu said disapprerovingly.
However, Zhou Min knew in his heart that if the Zhou family was labeled as a communist, Chiang Kai-shek would not pay attention to the old feelings. What he wanted to do most in his life was to suppress the CCP.
Seeing Zhou Min frowning, Father Zhou chuckled and said, "The sky is falling, there is a big one on top, what kind of heart do you have for a child." And Xiaoxue, you don't have to blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you, you will study hard in medical school at that time, and you don't have to worry about anything. β
Father Zhou carefully discovered Xiaoxue's inner thoughts and was relieved to her.
"Dad, no, I have to fight back, in case these newspapers publish some unfavorable news, it will be bad. In terms of public opinion, we can't afford to lose, or we can run a newspaper. β
"Nonsense. Looking at Zhou Min's whimsical expression, Zhou Yaozu couldn't help but say.
I have to say that the efficiency of the major newspapers is very high, and as soon as Zhou Min had lunch, a maid brought a newspaper to interview her this morning. And sure enough, she made headlines.
"Miss Arrogant Returns to Shanghai, Unhappy with Reporter"
"Miss Zhou's Amnesia, Unclear Relationship with **"
""Unknown person came to Shanghai with Miss Zhou's family, and his identity needs to be determined"
"The Zhou Family's Housekeeper Sends Medicine to the Eighth Route Army Base Area Thousands of Miles Away"

"Dad, look, you still say I'm messing around, I think it's those reporters messing around, what do you think they wrote?"
Looking at the newspaper on the table, the second elder of the Zhou family was a little silent, obviously the content of the report was somewhat unexpected to them. It feels like the reporter is exaggerating.
At this time, in a hotel in Shanghai, "Li Sang, you have worked hard this time." The Great Japanese Empire will not forget what you have done. β
"Mr. Mitsui, you are too polite, this is what I should do. I'm afraid the Zhou family will be in a hurry this time, he Zhou family only came to Shanghai in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, and he has become a hegemon in just over ten years, but Zhou Yaozu, who crossed the river, doesn't take us old people in Shanghai seriously, and this time it can be regarded as giving him some lessons. Haha"
Chongqing, the leader's official residence.
"This is the latest message from Shanghai. The chief of the guard respectfully sold a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek looked at it for a while, and his face was a little gloomy. "Go and call the rain farmer. β
"Yes. The chief guard gave a military salute and went out.
More than ten minutes later, Dai Li came to Chiang Kai-shek's door.
Report. β
"Come in. β
"Headmaster, are you looking for me?"
"Well, you can take a look at this telegram first. β
Dai Li picked up the telegram and read it carefully for a while, and said: "Principal, I have investigated the matter of Mr. Zhou and his daughter, the incident happened in October last year, Mr. Zhou's daughter Zhou Min secretly left home because of an unpleasant encounter with her family, claiming to go to the United States to study, but after investigation, she did not go to the United States, I don't know how she went to Qinghe, Hebei.
In a sweep of the Qinghe devils, she was injured and rescued, and after waking up, she lost her memory, only remembering her name, and later stayed in the Qinghe Eighth Route Army for more than three months, during which she was seriously injured due to the protection of the local people. Mr. Zhou's housekeeper took an American ship to Hebei to deliver medicine to the Eighth Route Army a year ago, and found Zhou Min there, and after Mr. Zhou learned the news, he sent his eldest son Zhou Tao to pick up his daughter back. I just arrived in Shanghai a few days ago, and Mr. Zhou took Zhou Min to the hospital for an examination early this morning. After diagnosis, there was no doubt about amnesia.
In addition, they were intercepted by reporters in the hospital, and today's news has been published, but the information published has been fueled by people and somewhat exaggerated. β
I looked at the principal as if he was listening, but he didn't seem to be listening. Dai Lian lowered his head and said no more.
"Yunong, what do you say is the relationship between Yaozu and ** this week?"
"Principal, according to the students' investigation, a regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army once helped Mr. Zhou, so Mr. Zhou sent them supplies several times, and it shouldn't have too much to do with it. β
"There is no relationship that is too deep, too deep a relationship. Chiang Kai-shek muttered to himself. suddenly said: "You said that Zhou Yaozu's son Zhou Tao is not the same Zhou Tao who studied in Huangpu for three years." β
"Yes, principal, he is the second team of the eighth phase of Whampoa. β
"A good man should stand up when the country is in danger. β
Dai Li's heart was shocked when he heard Chiang Kai-shek speak unconsciously.
Zhou Tao was only 17 years old when he went to school in Huangpu, and after graduation, the principal did not let him stay in the army for some reason. Now that he suddenly mentioned this matter, it shows that he has thoughts about the Zhou family.
"Yu Nong, after the fifteenth year, you will personally go to Shanghai to visit Yaozu and tell him that it is the time for the country to employ people. Let Zhou Tao return to the army. β
"Yes, Headmaster. Dai Li lowered his head, his face was full of shock, he didn't expect the principal to really do something to the Zhou family.
"By the way, you sue Yaozu, the country will not forget his contributions, let Zhou Tao come to Chongqing, and go to Wenbai to serve first. β
"Yes, Headmaster. When Dai Lian saw that Chiang Kai-shek had closed his eyes and stopped talking, he cautiously withdrew and closed the door.
After walking out of the mansion and getting into the car, Dai Li let out a long breath and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself: "Headmaster, you really arranged a good errand for me." However, since Zhou Tao was asked to go to Education Chief Zhang, it means that the principal still remembers the old feelings. β
The ** and others who were far away in Yan'an were also holding a military meeting.
"Comrades, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region has set up a production committee, and it is now necessary to intensify the large-scale production campaign. We should make the best use of this rare lull period to expand production, reserve grain, and prepare for the stalemate phase. β
"Well, that's right, now it's officially a rare lull period, the little devil hasn't stopped since 37 years, and now it's finally stopped, we should take advantage of this time. Is there anything else going on today, if not, let's break up. β
"Wait, Chairman, there's one more thing, this is today's newspaper, please take a look. Zhou Enlai got up and handed a stack of newspapers to the people at the meeting.
"Well, what's going on with this Zhou Min, how did he care about us. β
"Mr. Peng, this Zhou Min is the daughter of Zhou Yaozu, a patriotic progressive from Shanghai, and I don't know how to come to our Hebei-Shandong border area some time ago, and I was injured. I was rescued by the 125th regiment, and I was just picked up back to Shanghai recently, and I have attracted the attention of major newspapers, and now the newspapers in your hands are reporting on this matter. β
"Haha there is such a thing, it's really strange, this Shanghai tycoon has something to do with our Tubalu, Lao Jiang is very dissatisfied. β
"Boss, according to the content reported by the 125th regiment, Zhou Yaozu has sent people to send them medicines and materials three times. β
After listening to Zhou Enlai's words, a room of people couldn't help but look at each other, the chairman took a puff of cigarette and said: "It seems that it really has something to do with us, tell the sΓΉ125 regiment, don't cut off contact with Zhou Min, one more friend will have one more way." β
"Chairman, can we fight for this Zhou Yaozu?" The person who asked this was Zhu De.
"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, don't act rashly first, a good meal is not afraid of being late. Investigate clearly. ** smiled and waved his hand.
In the study room of the Zhou Mansion in Shanghai, Zhou's mother paced back and forth, her brows tightened, and said: "Yaozu, this report is very unfavorable, I don't think the chairman of the committee will stop it, what can I do." β
Zhou Yaozu's face was expressionless, and he didn't feel relaxed in front of Zhou Min at all. After a long while, he said slowly: "The chairman of the committee also takes care of our family, like Tao'er, who is the only one who graduates from a military academy and does not leave the army, can be regarded as taking care of you and me." Tao'er can also be on his own, just let him out to break in, we can't lock him tightly. β
"But Yaozu, it's too dangerous to go to the battlefield, how many people have died in the past few years, I'm afraid," Zhou's mother said in a choked voice.
"People always have to die, and a good man should kill the enemy for the country on the battlefield and serve the country. β
Zhou Min didn't know that due to his own reasons, his brother had to go to the battlefield. This night is destined to have many sleepless people.
