CHAPTER 40

In the early morning of the next day, Haizhu and Shifang boarded the train from Nanjing to Shanghai early, this time they really left, they would not return because of the fog, nor would they stop because of the government's announcement, they were like two wild geese flying high, with love and hope across the ocean, flying to another country of knowledge, and starting a new life.

Cars are speeding smoothly through the streets, the early morning chatters are no better than usual, the trams are sparsely populated, and the drivers are lazy and do not speed up. The department store has not yet opened, and the bank staff have already entered the building to start their day's work. The grandma who walked the streets and alleys selling bean curd and Lantern Festival in Shikumen was pushing a cart and was delivering breakfast door to door, and she didn't forget to say something in her mouth: "Fresh and fresh, a pile of scrapers will be given to you!"

It's a familiar place in the world. At six or seven o'clock in the morning, Nanjing was still waking up, the voices of people and the city gradually sounded, and the tinkling tram walked quietly, slowly flowing into a change of old and new life.

However, the grandma, who was still smiling and scooping the bean curd just now, somehow, had already put her waist into the waist and quarreled with the owner of a small oil mill in Shikumen: "Huatoujing, do you think the old lady is easy to provoke?" Scooped up a pile of scraper nectar and confiscated the money, and you still want to make a nest of Lantern Festival for nothing? No haw! It turned out that the grandmother had sold the last bean curd mixed with osmanthus nectar to the little boss, and when she gave the money, she found that he only gave the money for the bean curd, but she refused to buy the account of the five small Lantern Festival, and the two did not let each other, so they quarreled loudly.

I sat in the car and listened to it vividly, and the sound of the two of them arguing seemed to be right under my ears. Seke said with a smile while driving: "Mornings are like mornings in my hometown, and when I first went to Toyo, I had to hear the sound of the train to fall asleep, and this habit hurt me at first."

I wondered, "Isn't there a train in Toyo?"

"How could there be no trams in the East, they received Western education a few years before us, and they carried out thoroughly, but my school was on the mountain, and often there was only the sound of pine waves, where would there be a tram?"

I secretly said, how can a medical university be built on a sparsely populated mountain? Not to mention that you have to do experiments in the laboratory every day, even if you learn the clinical diagnosis of Western medicine, you will also be in the city with a smooth road. Unless, he didn't go to a medical university in the first place, and he couldn't help but think of what his senior brother said that day, and continued to ask him quietly: "Are all the medical universities in the East built on the mountain?"

Shi Ke felt that he had lost his words again, and couldn't help but look at me in a sneer, and whispered: "Ah Zhao, you know that I can't always hide it from you. Let's be honest, I went to the East and learned not to be a doctor. ”

I'm not surprised by this answer, Shike has just said that in addition to medical skills, another very famous thing in the East is probably the military school. He said that his school was on the hill, he couldn't hear the tram, and there was probably only one possibility to stay away from the crowds. But, Shike, how did you take such a path? I sighed, "Ake, I don't blame you for your position, but have you thought about how your uncle and aunt would feel when they found out?" How could they bear to raise their son to be a soldier. ”

"I knew my family was worried, so I didn't think to let them know. Zhao, we've been buddies since childhood, so I won't hide it from you. At the moment, I will find something to do in the hospital at home and live according to my parents' wishes, which is filial piety and makes up for it. But sooner or later, there will be a day when war will break out in our country, and then I will go to the battlefield and exist as a soldier for the country. ”

Shike's words were impassioned, and I couldn't help but think of my grandmother talking about the war in the northwest when I was a child, as if the older a person gets, the farther away from his childhood, the more clear the trivial memories of his childhood. This year, I always think of my grandmother on various occasions from time to time, whether it is what she said or what she did, the memory is so clear that I always think it happened yesterday.

The car drove past the presidential palace and sped away in the direction of Jiangningfang, and the new day began again in this morning full of fireworks.

Han's mother has been sick in bed because of the heavy snow a few days ago, so she has not appeared in my field of vision since the wedding of Haizhu and Shifang. This was the first time I walked into her bedroom since I had a gap with her, and when I looked around, there were a few newly folded plums on the table of the windowsill, and a black lacquer chair was placed on the table like that. There was a three-legged pear wood round table next to the carved wooden bed, and there was a teapot for scalding tea and two small bowls on the table. I stood in front of her with white porridge, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, if it wasn't for my grandfather, with Han's mother's character and experience, maybe I would marry someone who really loves her. It's a pity that creation makes people, in this life, she just met her grandfather who already has a family. Thinking of this, I couldn't help coughing lightly and whispered to Mother Han. "Little ...... Sister? What are you doing here? ”

"I heard you're sick, so I'm here to see you. This is the white porridge I brought from the kitchen, would you like to eat some while it's hot? ”

When Han's mother heard this, she hurriedly dropped the book in her hand and went to the tray I was holding: "My miss, how can I let you do this, put it down quickly."

"If it's out of the way, I can't do this. Besides, you're still sick, do you want to talk to me about this? ”

When she heard what I said, she somehow burst into tears: "Isn't Miss annoyed that I'm in charge of your business?"

"Mother Han, you drink porridge first, drink porridge, I'll talk to you later......"

I walked to the window and sat down on the black lacquered chair, holding the handle of the chair with one hand and rubbing it carefully, this is an old thing from the former Qing Dynasty, I recognized it from the first glance when I entered the door, Han's mother seemed to cherish it very much, and she always didn't put it on the side of the bed for people to sit, but put it with the table. It's just that if others want to put it, there are always two chairs and a few chairs, but she is so lonely that she has a taste of independence from the world.

"Miss, if you say something, I'll listen."

I saw that she had finished her porridge and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then began a conversation that had been long overdue.

"Mother Han, all the objects in your house are from the previous dynasty, do you like the Qing Dynasty very much?"

Han's mother couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and the green bun that she usually tied at home fell loosely like that: "Like it?" I can't say I like it much. Our generation is not all from the Qing Dynasty, and we have been used to it all our lives, so there is no dislike or dislike. Why did the young lady think of asking me this? ”

"Oh, I've been busy at home these days, and I've always forgotten to ask you, when I was a child, I often used to wear the silver hairpin you wore but lost it? How can I see that you don't have it with you? ”
