Chapter 35: A Strange Gaze

Zheng Yi and Zhou Junruo have similar personalities, they are both tepid and calm temperaments, they are very serious in doing things, and they both like to pursue perfection. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The difference is the appearance!

Zheng Yi is tall and cold, does not like to socialize, and people who are not familiar with it will find it difficult to approach. Zhou Junruo is polite, humble and easy-going, and is a typical intellectual, which makes people feel a sense of closeness and trust at first sight.

Therefore, the two cooperate very tacitly, even if the "Whampoa Military Academy Soldier Choir" that has never appeared is only five days away from singing on stage, they are still not in a hurry, discuss everything slowly, and strictly implement the plan, let the chorus group and the accompaniment group practice separately in the morning, find out the problems and deficiencies and improve them, and practice together at three o'clock in the afternoon, combining work and rest, the intensity is not large, and the meticulous and thoughtful Zheng Yi bought more than a dozen packs of Guangdong herbal tea by the way when he bought a musical instrument, and personally boiled it for the brothers to drink, so as to prevent heatstroke and cool down and moisten the throat.

In view of the fact that the brothers were very familiar with the first three songs, Zhou Junruo proposed to add two more songs for backup, in case they could not pass the review of the Political Department of the Military Academy the day before the performance, and emphasized that the brothers had already sung and liked the "Reading Lang" and the "Song of a Good Man" taught to the brothers of the Ordnance Institute after returning from the Guards' Expedition, which were not suitable for singing in the revolutionary propaganda activities, and asked Zheng Yi to find a way to add two more songs.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Yi decided to choose the "Internationale" translated by Mr. Qu Qiubai, because this song has been widely sung among the cadets of the military academy and is featured in the magazine "New Youth" in the library of the military academy, which is in line with the current political situation of close unity and cooperation between the KMT and the CPC.

Zhou Junruo thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Although some people in the Sun Wenism Society have objections to the lyrics of this song, and it is a foreign song, it does not represent the mainstream opinion, and what is even more rare is that this song has a beautiful melody, surging majestic, and is very infectious.

After setting the "Internationale", Zheng Yi immediately wrote the score and lyrics silently, Zhou Junruo considered the interpretation method and conducting method on the side, and found that Zheng Yi wrote an extra song "Red Plum Blossoms" half an hour later, and curiously took it and hummed a few words according to the score, and suddenly felt like a treasure: "Where did this song come from?" The melody and mood are very beautiful! ”

Zheng Yi is very familiar with this song, he has not sung it a hundred times but has eighty times, but he can't tell the truth, so he has to prevaricate nonsense:

"When I was waiting for the ship to go south to Guangzhou in Shanghai, I occasionally heard a foreign friend sing it, and I thought it was good, so I took the liberty to ask him, and he told me that it was a Soviet song, and told me the gist of the lyrics, so I remembered it, how did I feel?"

"Very interesting, did you choose this song because the Russian advisory group participated in the singing day?" Zhou Junruo asked with a smile.

Zheng Yi thought about it and regretted it a little: "If it's not suitable, let's put it first, according to the regulations, we only need to sing three songs, and the previous ones are enough." ”

Zhou Junruo immediately put away the score: "No, no! It's very appropriate, and the lyrics you translated are also very good, there is a spirit of romanticism, who said that revolutionary soldiers can't have love? Right? I will practice tomorrow, and four days will be enough time for the brothers to sing it well, as well as the "Internationale", which I believe the people in the Political Department will also enjoy...... Oh yes, who's the composer? ”

Zheng Yi vaguely remembers that this is a Soviet song during or after World War II, but how can he remember who the author is: "Where can I remember the foreigner's name so awkward?" If you have to write the author's name, you can write Ivan, Vasily or Vladimir **** or something, anyway, Russians. ”

What Zheng Yi never dreamed of was that on the morning of the fourth day, when Zhou Junruo sent the score to the Political Department for review, the two political officers must ask to write the name of the songwriter, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the friendly Soviet Union and the advisory group.

On July 23, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, and the temperature was very hot.

The political ministers of the military academy led more than 500 people, including the military academy's blood flower drama club and the soldiers' choir, to set off on time and rushed to the city on three transport boats.

Zheng Yi and Zhou Junruo, who had foreseen it, gave each brother an extra cloth bag, which contained a full set of military uniforms borrowed from the munitions warehouse and suede shoes supported by Russia, and they were all wearing old military uniforms.

But after landing on the shore and lining up, the situation was different, more than 500 people were extremely uncomfortable by the scorching sun, and it was even more difficult to walk to the crowded People's Park, most of the teachers and students were sweating and their clothes were soaked halfway through, and they had to buckle in the discipline buckle and tie up their armed belts.

What is even worse is that the whole morning was full of various departments and units erecting high platforms around the park to give revolutionary speeches, and the lecture troupe, which was mainly composed of the second phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, was also among them, and the performance stage was being set up in the northern area of the park with the city government at its back, and the performance troupes of the provincial and municipal trade unions and the three major colleges and universities had already come to the stage, some were familiar with the venue, and some were rehearsing under the improvised sheds, and the sound of musical instruments, laughter, and greetings came and went.

The performance team of more than 500 people of the Whampoa Military Academy was in strict shape and in unison, and as soon as they entered the park, they received bursts of applause from people and students from all walks of life.

Before the neat procession reached the designated place on the side of the stage, dozens of students from Sun Yat-sen University and the Women's Normal School had already run over, chattering and greeting the familiar teachers and students of Huangpu, but no one paid attention to the members of the warrior choir.

General Shao Zhonghui, deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Academy, who was pleasant-looking, ordered a break at the right time, and the entire contingent was disbanded in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Yi saw Leng Xin and Pan Youqiang, the leaders of the Sun Literature Society, walking towards him with a smile on their faces, and immediately ordered the brothers to bring all their belongings and rest under the shade of a tree behind the stage.

Leng Xin and the others invited Zheng Yi to the gathering place in front of the stage and introduced them to several ladies and young heroes of the women's normal school: "This is the instructor Zheng we mentioned to you last time, and he is also the head of our Whampoa Military Academy Soldier Choir...... Don't worry, everyone, it's not too late to talk to each other after my introduction, haha! Instructor Zheng, this is a talented woman known as Lingnan......"

Zheng Yi shook hands with the enthusiastic young men and women, because there were too many people and noisy voices, he couldn't hear Leng Xin's long list of praises and names, but he remembered Pan Huiqin, who had entered Huangpu alone and asked to enlist in the army. The reason why Zheng Yi remembers her is because of recent rumors: Li Zhilong, the initiator of the Blood Flower Drama Club and a great talent in both civil and military affairs, and this beautiful woman surnamed Pan are in love.

After the meeting, Zheng Yi quietly left with a few words of greeting, looking for several officials of the Political Department to ask about the lunch location and performance schedule.

He Jinhan and others were talking with classmates from various schools, and suddenly heard Jin Huishu, a famous talented woman from the women's normal school, ask Zheng Yi how old he was? So he turned around to look for it, only to find that Zheng Yi was gone.

Deng Wenyi on the side laughed and said, guess? But none of them guessed correctly, and when he saw it, he would arouse the public indignation of the beauties, so he hurriedly explained: "Speaking of which, maybe everyone doesn't believe it, our Instructor Zheng looks very mature, like a twenty-five or six-year-old person, in fact, he still has half a year to reach the age of twenty, and it is estimated that he is younger than most of the students present, but he has already become the chief of the major section of the military academy, is it amazing?" ”

Everyone exclaimed, and a talented man from Sun Yat-sen University said with a smile: "I dare to say that if Instructor Zheng is not a famous disciple, he is the queen of the gate, otherwise he will not have such a status, haha!" ”

Chen Geng on the side glanced at Deng Wenyi with a smile, and said to everyone happily: "Actually, we don't know the family background of Instructor Zheng, we only know that he accurately shot nine enemies in the Battle of Tamsui in the Eastern Expedition, and then led a platoon of recruits to occupy the Xiguan Wharf first in the return of our revolutionary army to Guangzhou to suppress the rebellion, blocking the escape route of a large number of rebels, killing nearly 100 enemies and capturing hundreds. Although the Whampoa Military Academy Warrior Choir has never performed in public, I know that their level is very high, if you don't believe it, everyone will be able to see it at three o'clock in the afternoon, haha! ”

After Chen Geng said apologetically, he turned around and left, Jiang Xianyun and Li Zhilong also said goodbye to everyone and rushed to meet the members of the troupe, leaving a group of handsome men and women looking at each other in shock, He Jinhan and several people from the Sun Literature Club were a little embarrassed.

"I just found out that Instructor Zheng has a weapon on his belt, and you didn't have one, why? Is it because of the military rank? ”

A delicate beauty named Li Zhuoping asked Deng Wenyi curiously.

Deng Wenyi was very embarrassed, he had always disliked Zheng Yi's arrogance, and he had a lot of opinions about Zheng Yi, who had never participated in the activities of the Youth Army Association and the Sun Literature Association, who knew that he just wanted to take the opportunity to damage Zheng Yi, and was badly done by Chen Geng, at this moment, after listening to the beauty's inquiry, he smiled again in a slightly annoyed way:

"Instructor Zheng serves as the quartermaster chief in the military academy, and he is in charge of guns, so he carries a gun everywhere he goes, and his gun is better than anyone else's, the commemorative version of the American Colt, oh, we may not find ten in the whole Guangzhou, we are also envious, haha!"

Now even He Jinhan couldn't see it, so he took a half step forward and asked everyone what time the performance was? Then he kindly said the title of the two-act drama performed by the Blood Flower Drama Club today, and pulled Deng Wenyi to politely bid farewell to everyone.

Walking to no one's place, He Jinhan whispered to Deng Wenyi: "Don't be like this in the future, although Instructor Zheng doesn't like politics, he has no obvious bias, at least I've never seen him get close to the people of the Youth Army Association, and more importantly, the two officials behind Instructor Zheng are the principal's right-hand men, maybe everyone will work together, if you offend him so much, aren't you afraid of offending a group of people?" ”

"What's more, Instructor Zheng is not a good person to get along with, if you let him know that you are like this, who knows if he will retaliate against you?"

"I do have an opinion about him, this person's position is very suspicious, he has not joined the party so far, is such a person not swaying from side to side, trying to engage in political speculation? And he does things mysteriously, in addition to leading the team to train every morning, he often doesn't see anyone, relying on Shangguan's favor letter to leave the school frequently, who knows what he is doing when he goes out? ”

The more Deng Wenyi spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more he felt justified: "His personality is extremely arrogant, from his proudly announcing the challenge of the basketball court to the establishment of a warrior choir, all of them are selfish, but so far, who has heard him sing?" Has anyone ever seen his so-called choir trained? Just those crooked melons and cracked dates in the ordnance office?

"Hmph, today I want to see what his choir can sing!"

He Jinhan sighed, thinking about Deng Wenyi's words, it is not unreasonable, the members of the Blood Flower Drama Club and the Youth Army Association have never seen the soldiers choir sing, only with the twenty repairmen of the Ordnance Institute and the platoon of recruits under Zheng Yi, it is really difficult to be reassured, and if you don't do it, I am afraid that you will lose face in the military academy.

In particular, Zheng Yi has not joined the party so far, which is definitely a big issue that needs to be vigilant, He Jinhan decided to report to the principal after today's performance.
