Chapter 39: The Joy of the Past of the Republic of China
The surrender ceremony in Wuhan was solemn, and the people were calm.
When the advance team of the Sixth Theater was stationed in Wuhan, it was worried that the people would be dissatisfied with the national army and that their attitude towards the national army would not be good, so they did some work in all walks of life in advance. They are afraid that the national government will be angry with them, and it is true that they have no hope of doing well after doing this maintenance work that has not done well. There are no complaints about resentment, after all, he was also trying to survive in the first place.
I thought about it a lot. When the advance team was stationed, the people of Wuhan consciously lined up on the streets to greet them, and although they were not fanatical, they were also smiling. It really made the advance captain addicted.
The preparations for the surrender of Wuhan were very thorough, whether it was the former Wuhan municipal dignitaries, the business celebrities, or the maintenance meeting during the occupation, they all devoted themselves to the preparation of the surrender ceremony with full enthusiasm. Not to mention how willing they are to contribute, it is the problem of their own investment and return, and whether they can leave such a small impression on the demoted governor, or whether they can occupy a small position on the future power map of Wuhan.
The surrender platform was built, the road for the chief to embark on the surrender platform was paved, and a grand folk performance was arranged. Even the light and shade at the time of surrender were fully prepared, and the commander must not be allowed to be fascinated by the eyes and sweat to surrender.
The entire Preparatory Committee for the Surrender that, by the way, has also set up a special Preparatory Committee for the Surrender. In order to have their own names inside, all the businessmen and dignitaries did their best, paid money, searched for people, and fought through doors and windows to enter the preparatory committee. As a result, the entire list of members of the Preparatory Committee was 100 members. But don't worry about the cost, some people pay.
Perhaps the emotions of the people in Wuhan have almost been vented, or perhaps the people are not interested in such unconsciously arranged celebrations. The surrender of the entire Wuhan was tepid and decent, from the ceremony to the celebration. It truly embodies the purpose of going through the motions and showing the form.
The surrendered commander was indeed very satisfied, as if he had really come to go through the motions, and the more insipid he was, the more he liked it.
Those who are disappointed are the rich men who give up their great wealth for the sake of their behalf. I couldn't get a little information from the mouth of the descended commander. It's a loss! A bunch of money, it's thrown away.
Old man Miao has been hiding at home these days, originally his financial resources are not strong, and his status is not enough to be noble, if it weren't for the antique pawn shop in the fall of what kind of representative, it just so happens that he has two sons of the national army, he is also a small businessman who goes with the flow.
Now, with such a big scene as surrender, even if he wants to dedicate, it can't be his turn. So Lao Miao didn't go to please people.
The street leading to the old house of the Miao family, the whole street has been under martial law, and it is not considered martial law, but there is a national army standing three or five steps on both sides of the road, solemn and solemn. There was no expulsion of citizens, and no passers-by were asked not to watch.
A group of uniformed officers walked in the distance, with heavy steps and solemn expressions.
The Miao family's family didn't know the situation outside the door at this time, and Feng Jinfei and Miao Suxin were worried that her father would be unhappy if he failed to participate in the surrender, and they tried to make the old man happy. But Lao Miao was really unhappy, not because of the surrender, but because he was thinking about his son. It's time for news, but there's still no news.
Feng Jinfei also knew his father-in-law's thoughts, but he really couldn't solve it. He already had a premonition that there would be no good news. So I'm more and more worried. My father-in-law is not guarding these gods, and it is chaotic and worrying.
When the housekeeper led a group of uniformed chiefs into the door, the first thing that Old Man Miao thought of was: Did you settle accounts after the autumn? He didn't do anything to help the abuse! He didn't think about his son's affairs, but kept avoiding it, hiding and not daring to think about it.
"Miao Sujun, the commander of the 59th Army of the Third Theater of the National Revolutionary Army, bravely killed the enemy in the decisive battle of Xuzhou and unfortunately died. The Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun is hereby awarded to the spirit of the heavens!" The leader was the commander who had been surrendered, his expression was no longer that indifferent, he was very excited, and he seemed to have tears in his eyes.
"Jun'er...... Bang......" Old man Miao fell straight down the moment he stood up. The face is blue and purple, and the breath is like a gossamer.
"Daddy... Whining... Jin Fei, daddy, he... Woo woo...... "Miao Suxin couldn't cry anymore, and stumbled to drag her father, but found that Feng Jinfei's whole body was under Old Man Miao.
At that time, Feng Jinfei was also caught off guard when his father-in-law fell, and the distance was a little far, so he could only stuff himself into it at the moment when the old man fell to the ground, and did not let his father-in-law fall to the ground. Maybe he can do it with all his strength so that neither of them will fall to the ground, he knows that he can only do this to the maximum, otherwise he will continue to be in trouble.
The entire main hall was already in chaos, and the prefects who had come to summon and express condolences were also at a loss.
Feng Jinfei pinched the middle of the people, rubbed the Lao Palace, pointed to the inner pass, and smoothed the sea. After this series of actions, Old Man Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly opened his eyes, "My son is gone...... I'm gone!" muttered.
"Daddy...... Big brother is gone, there is me, and I and Frangipani accompany you. But take care!" Feng Jinfei knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. Years of worry, a moment of bad news, from time to time a few words can be resolved.
"Daddy, and Xiaoxin, you can't leave Xiaoxin! Brother is gone, Xiaoxin can't be without you! Daddy, please! Daddy...... Woo..."
It should have been, forget it, there is no such thing as a primary. No one can bear the pain of losing a child in old age, and no one can control the scene of this kind of thing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this... My father-in-law is in such a good health, and I am afraid that the family will not be able to entertain the chiefs. Feng Jinfei put his father-in-law on the chair and let Su Xin help him. At this time, we can no longer snub the chief.
"It doesn't matter, we understand it. This is a medal and a pension. Put it away first, let the old man take it slowly, and I'll come to visit in a few days. You can also come to the city hall if you have any problems. This chief was very polite and kind, and said goodbye to Feng Jinfei peacefully.
It's been three or five days, it's been three or five days. Old man Miao was lying straight like that, his eyes were straight, his eyes were dull, and he kept muttering: My son is gone, my Jun is gone. If you don't swallow the food in your mouth, you will lose weight in a few days.
Miao Suxin has not stopped crying, crying is less, but tears are not less at all. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was scattered haphazardly. Since Little Japan surrendered, she knew that she could go out without ugly makeup, but she cared about her makeup. Can ...... now
Feng Jinfei couldn't bear it anymore, there was no day or night. Both members of the family are like this, one may not know what rest is, and the other will not leave the bedside at all. The servant can still be replaced to take care of it, but the son-in-law is not replaced. Speaking of which, he is now the only man in the family.
When the church hospital came, the doctor put a plastic tube in addition to pricking his wrist, saying that he was giving some nutrition. There is no other way, it is said that it is a heart disease.
There was no way, and the Chinese medicine doctor came again, all of which were sent by the commander. They have been paying attention to the Miao family.
"Young Master Feng, Master Miao is so worried, his breath is blocked and he can't act, and he can't live if he doesn't keep it. It's so varied!"
"Doctor, what are you going to do? We don't understand your words. Feng Jinfei listened to this grandson's confusion at this time, and he was furious! I didn't see my daughter-in-law, and I couldn't bear it anymore.
"Heart disease still needs heart medicine. You also know that in the case of your father-in-law, the acupuncture prescription is not very effective! Do you see if there is a way for Western medicine, or ......?"
"Doesn't it work to prescribe a few pairs of decoctions?"
"Alas...... I also heard you say that you can't eat. This decoction ......" The old Chinese medicine doctor suddenly paused. "You haven't had a ceremony with Miss Miao yet, have you?"
"Hmm, hmm! Is this related?"
"Maybe Chong Chongxi is useful!"
Feng Jinfei really can't do anything at this time, as for Chongxi, if it works, it's okay. After all, Frangipani is already her own daughter-in-law, and this will not change. And looking at this situation, whether he can leave is another matter. Eldest brother... The situation may not be decided, maybe it can be slowed down, isn't there still a third child.
Old man Miao had no family when he was in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he fled to Wuhan alone, and accumulated his current family business for decades as a young man. has no clan relatives, Feng Jinfei is also an orphan, and there is no room for sloppiness in the matter of getting married. Chongxi, who will host it?
Since the surrendered prefect has come to the Miao family's old house, although the old man Miao has fallen, there has been an endless stream of visits in the past few days. All of them seem to have a good friendship with the old sprouts, and the one in front of the bed asks for warmth. But the old sprouts are still lying like that.
"Brother Miao, you have to get up! You girl has to do something! There has to be an elder in charge, what should you do with the two children themselves? This is also the child's filial piety, giving you joy, but you can't let the child do it by himself, right? Get up, brother!" This may really be a bit of a friendship, even Feng Jinfei is also common.
"No one will do it, I'll do it!" no one noticed that the commander of the surrendered national army was already standing in the house. Looking at the housekeeper's embarrassed face, he knew that he didn't have time to report.
"This situation at home is neglecting the sir. Feng Jinfei hurriedly confessed.
"It's okay! Miao Sujun is my soldier, and I will handle his sister's marriage!"
I don't know if it was the words of the man who worked or if the words of the chief frightened me. Old man Miao sat up, "Xiaoxin hasn't had a ceremony yet!
"Daddy......" Miao Suxin rushed over and hurriedly helped the old man Miao, tears flowing again. I didn't know how many tears came from that.
