Chapter 140: Imperialism (13)

Yin Xiaofeng never thought that he would one day become half a housewife. Since beating his wife Yue Lianyi was rated as a model worker in the construction industry and won the title of "38 Red Flag Bearer", Yin Xiaofeng found that his wife's work was getting busier and busier, and more and more tasks with children were taken on by Yin Xiaofeng.

His daughter, Feifei, is eight years old and is in the third grade of elementary school. It was a terrible age, with a lot of energy, endless curiosity, and a very volatile mood. When the daughter is obedient, naturally I don't have to say it, it is extremely cute. But when the daughter tossed up, it was like tender tofu stained with ashes, and she couldn't blow it or beat it.

Of course, it is not a minority, or even the majority, that the children are beaten. But Yin Xiaofeng is such a girl, he looked at his crying daughter after beating him once, and he was completely distressed. Yin Xiaofeng swore in his heart that he would never touch a finger of his daughter in the future.

The Chinese tradition is to be excellent, excellent, small, say, more, new, most, fastest, www.uuxs.cc, and 10 days off, while the new government adopts the method of five days and one rest. Yue Lianyi was rarely able to rest. The huge city of Guangzhou is getting bigger and bigger, even if this round of large-scale construction in Guangzhou begins to come to an end, the construction of Kowloon and other places will continue to begin. All engineering departments are working overtime.

Yin Xiaofeng took the child to the park in the morning, swinging and riding the merry-go-round. In the afternoon, I took my children to participate in the "Parent Education Meeting" of the Liberation Party.

Children are the flowers of the motherland, and such slogans are posted on the walls of every classroom of the Parent Education Association. After the teacher came to the stage, he first read a quote from Weese, "The purpose of educating children is to put them on the right path, or because we want to educate children to be what we want them to be." More importantly, we need to understand whether this attitude is a real idea or an excuse for ourselves. This concept should be constantly reflected. It is necessary to have the spirit of criticism and self-criticism. ”

When Yin Xiaofeng first heard this, he felt that the clouds and mountains were covered with fog, and then he felt that it was very reasonable, and then he felt that it was nonsense. Anyway, he had to listen to it once he participated, so he was indifferent. This course is not so much a class as a grievance meeting for my parents. These parents talk about their children's disobedience, and they are angry one by one, and the words of "pinching him (her) to death if you know it early" are endless.

Maybe it's because the ruthless energy has been relieved in the classroom, these boys and girls will still be beaten in the end, but the number of children beaten is becoming less and less. After all, children are the hearts and minds of their parents, who can really fight when they are not fed up?

The curriculum is to educate parents about what kind of country China will be in the future. What kind of careers do children have? The people who came to participate were all from the government, enterprises and institutions, and it was good for these parents to make a plan for their children's future.

There are teachers outside the classroom who take the children to play games, so Yin Xiaofeng is not worried that his daughter will run away.

After class, Yin Xiaofeng flew home with his daughter. Feifei took his father's hand and said that he had any conflicts and contradictions with the children. Or who she likes and doesn't like. Listening to the little guy talking about various things with a focused expression, Yin Xiaofeng felt a strong sense of family happiness at the same time, but he had an illusory feeling.

Thinking back to what the teacher said in the class of the Parent Education Association, Yin Xiaofeng suddenly felt that many of the discussions about the relationship between parents and children may not be unreasonable," ...... Our children were almost exposed to this new China with us. What's more, we come from an old era, and a large part of the ideas we have formed since childhood are still things from the old times. And from the time these children are born, they receive a new era. So, they grew up with a new era. The old times affected them much, much less than we do. We don't build yì for us people to completely let our children do things the way we do. In fact, many times we have to learn from these children......"

Yin Xiaofeng has never experienced campus life, and he is getting in touch with the strange place of campus through GuΓ²'s daughter's words. In a sense, her daughter's words are expanding Yin Xiaofeng's world little by little.

It's just that this feeling is so unreal. The wide streets are lined with beautiful trees, and the three-storey, four-storey, five-storey, and six-storey buildings on the street are completely different from traditional Cantonese architecture. The streets are full of bicycles, walkers, and people. These people are also different from traditional Guangzhou city dwellers, and they have very different occupations. In just ten years, the whole of Guangdong has changed.

"Dad, that building is so high!" Feifei took Yin Xiaofeng's hand and pointed to a few things under construction not far away and shouted. Yin Xiaofeng looked up, and he smiled: "Feifei, that's called the water tower." Not a building. ”

"The Great Water Tower?" Feifei asked.

"yes, Big Water Tower. With the water tower, running water can reach our home. "These basic lessons are also part of the parent education meeting. Parents don't know what the child asks, and this embarrassment is something that these parents often encounter.

"The stars are out!" Feifei shouted with a child's characteristic leaping mind, and the things that shone brightest caught their attention the most.

Yin Xiaofeng looked in the direction of his daughter's finger, and a bright morning star had already appeared in the sky. Yin Xiaofeng suddenly remembered how long it had been since he had raised his head to look up at the sky. The new buildings in Guangzhou are getting taller and taller, although Yin Xiaofeng's vision is gradually improving. But how long ago did you really look at the sky from the bottom of your heart? Yin Xiaofeng found that he couldn't remember it at all.

Feifei took Yin Xiaofeng's hand and said, "Dad, the teacher said not to go under the house under construction. If something falls from above, you will be injured. Dad, you have to be careful! ”

Listening to his daughter's "earnest teaching" in an adult's tone, Yin Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing, he picked up his daughter and said seriously: "Okay." Dad will be careful. Feifei, you also have to listen to the teacher's words and don't go to those dangerous places. ”

The father and daughter just talked, and first went to eat fried beef river, durian cake and other foods on the street. After eating, Feifei walked on the curb of the road, holding his father very seriously, and the two went home hand in hand.

When he arrived at the entrance of the building, a forty-year-old man suddenly came out of the shadows, he rushed to Yin Xiaofeng and said in surprise: "Brother Xiaofeng, you really live here!" ”

After looking carefully for a while, Yin Xiaofeng recognized that the person opposite was actually Yin Jiajie, a fellow villager who went to Luzon with Yin Xiaofeng to beg for a living.

Taking care of his daughter to sleep, Yin Xiaofeng hurriedly poured water for Yin Jiajie. The two haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and they were both in their twenties when they separated, and now they are both almost forty years old. Yin Jiajie is very old, and there are already too many wrinkles on his face. Yin Xiaofeng saw his appearance in front of the dressing mirror, he was two years older than Yin Jiajie, but now Yin Jiajie looks more than ten years older than Yin Xiaofeng.

After the wind and rain, Yin Jiajie's wrinkled face showed a dull sauce black, not as ruddy as when he was young, and the whole person looked as lifeless as dead wood. Yin Xiaofeng thought of the hard days he and Yin Jiajie and others had in Luzon, and couldn't help but sigh: "Jiajie, you are suffering!" When did you return home? What's going on over there in Luzon? ”

Yin Jiajie sighed, "Brother Xiaofeng, it's not good over there in Luzon." The Spanish devils are now getting more and more ruthless against the Chinese. I also saved a little money over there, and the Spaniards blackmailed us desperately. I saw that things were wrong, and I heard that life in Guangdong was getting better and better, so I came back from Luzon. I went back to Jiangmen first, and when I heard that Guangzhou was good for business, I came to Guangzhou. I heard that you have moved to Guangzhou, so I came to see you. ”

Both of them were brothers when they were young, and when they talked about their experiences over the years, Yin Jiajie was very envious of Yin Xiaofeng becoming an official. He also scolded the Spaniards in Luzon for their brutality to China, in addition to extortion, there were even cases where the Spaniards deliberately let the locals kill the rich Chinese businessmen who had purchased real estate in Luzon, and then plundered the property of the Chinese merchants.

Yin Jiajie didn't come to fight the autumn breeze, but he was just a newcomer to Guangzhou, where he was unfamiliar with the place, and he always hoped that someone could give him some guidance. Everyone talked for a while, and Yin Jiajie left.

The next day, Yue Lianyi came home from vacation, and in the evening her daughter began to expose her father's various "evil deeds", but said that an old grandfather came to visit yesterday. Yin Xiaofeng smiled: "What an old man! It was one of Dad's former brothers in Luzon. ”

Arranged for the children to sleep, and when the husband and wife were talking, Yin Xiaofeng sighed: "I originally thought that leaving Luzon and returning to Guangdong was a lack of opportunities to make money, but I didn't expect me to come back." ”

After Yue Lianyi heard Yin Xiaofeng talk about Yin Jiajie's experience, she immediately came to her senses, "Xiaofeng, you arrange for this Yin Jiajie to meet the people of the Armed Forces Department." ”

"Why?" Yin Xiaofeng couldn't figure out what his wife was doing, did he still have to help Yin Jiajie arrange work?

Yue Lianyi hugged Yin Xiaofeng's arm, "I met Governor Pang at the model worker meeting, and later I had some words with Governor Pang. Once I happened to hear Governor Pang and others say that everything that foreigners bully Chinese should be collected quickly. Isn't this Yin Jiajie bullied by foreigners? If we can help Governor Pang, we have to help quickly. It's really familiar, I'll find Governor Pang in the future, and it's better to talk, right? ”

Yin Xiaofeng knew that his level as an official was not as good as his wife, so at the administrative level, he was only a deputy section chief, and Yue Lianyi was already at the level of a regular department, and he was treated as a deputy department. If you have the opportunity, it is not impossible to become a deputy director. The two of them had been busy several times just now, and they vaguely agreed, and Yin Xiaofeng fell asleep.

On July 5, 1886, the Guangdong provincial government submitted to the intelligence services a report that the Spaniards occupying Luzon had begun to massacre the Chinese. On July 29, the intelligence services sent the report to the central authorities.

All the members of the Political Bureau did not speak immediately after listening to the report, and all eyes fell on Wei Ze. WeesΓ© knew that he had no other choice at this point, and he said: "Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially inform the Spaniards and ask them to explain this." ”

After saying this, Weeser said: "Order the General Staff to prepare for war, in the event that the Spaniards do not give us an answer that satisfies us." Immediately declared war on Spain. The target of the war was all of Luzon and all the Spanish islands on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. ”R1058
