One day, two days before Wen Tingyun's birthday, Zhuang Yuncheng instructed Yunyun: "The day after tomorrow is Teacher Wen's birthday, don't forget to go." ”

Yun Yun really forgot about it, and hurriedly asked, "Then what gift do I prepare?" ”

"Think for yourself, strictly speaking, you are his student, and you recognize the master as your godmother, Teacher Wen can naturally be regarded as your godfather."

"You always give me advice, and I can't think of anything to give." Yun Yun frowned tightly and muttered.

"Teacher Wen is indifferent to fame and fortune, and takes education to save the country as his own responsibility, not a person who loves money, just don't send some cheesy things, you child, just express your heart."

"Oh." Yun Yun asked, "You're not going?" ”

"It depends, if you're too busy, you won't be able to go." Zhuang Yuncheng suddenly asked, "Hasn't your school resumed yet?" ”

"No, it's messing up."

Zhuang Yuncheng frowned, the slogans and slogans of "defending democracy and resisting restoration" were flying all over the street, and the whole thing was in a mess, and all kinds of rallies and ceremonies were held with great fanfare, so that the restoration behavior of historical regression was strongly opposed by the people whose democratic and republican ideas had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Zhuang Yuncheng did not know how long this panicked day would last.

Fluttershy returns and says, "Liu Zhen isn't home. ”

"Forget it, he still has to be busy catering to the major events of Yuan Shikai's restoration, how can he care about us."

"It's better to ...... Let's borrow some money from Jin Yu to save the emergency. Fluttershy suggests

"It's okay, tomorrow I will arrange time to talk about the price with the people in the equipment factory, and open the match factory as soon as possible, and it will become poorer and poorer if it is consumed again."

"Hmm." Zhuang Die went to Xiao Jinyu's house in a hurry.

On the way, she suddenly shouted, "Stop! ”

The coachman stops slowly, and Fluttershy gives him the money, and the coachman wipes his sweat and says, "I haven't gotten there yet, I've given too much." ”

"If I ask you a question, it will be used as a mouth-licker."

"Miss, you ask."

"How many years have you been pulling a car?"

"It's only been half a year."

"And what did you do before?"

"Farming."

"Then do you think it was better before or now?"

"It's not good, there are evil landlords and lords at home, there are soldiers and ruffians here, what venue fees do you have to pay, and the car tax...... The car dealer also charges a rental fee. ”

"So what do you think is the best thing to do?"

"I don't know."

"How is it to be a worker?"

"It's not good, I have a brother who is a worker in a yarn factory, and he was also bullied by the factory owner, forcing them to work all day and all day, without food and rest."

"Why don't you quit?"

"I quit my job, I can't live, and I still have children at home...... In this world, it's not good to do anything. The driver looks around and is distracted, and Fluttershy knows he wants to get to work, so she lets him go.

The coachman bowed lightly in gratitude and ran away.

Along the way, Fluttershy walks worriedly, and what she sees is the weak hawkers, the depressed unemployed workers, and the listless people walking with their heads down, all of whom have one characteristic - they all have their heads down, and Fluttershy looks at the sky and the clouds cover the sun.

At home, Zhuang Yuncheng walked to the courtyard, took a step back, looked up at the roof of his house, and felt sad for some reason.

Yun Yun walked up to him, looked up as well, and asked inexplicably, "Brother, what are you looking at?" ”

"Nothing from the past can never come back, I still live in the house that was built a few years ago, it hasn't changed much, but the sky on the house has changed."

Yun Yunmu is wooden.

"Yunyun, you also saw Beiyan's new home that day, what do you think?"

"It's quite chic, and the style is different."

"Do you like it?"

"Hey, why do you ask that, do you want to ...... too"

"This house is too old, the world has changed, and we should also change the place where we live." Zhuang Yuncheng thought about it for a while, and said, "But it's too early to say, at least we have to wait until we are busy for a while." ”

Yun Yun was speechless, and was raising his interest, planning what to do, when he said this, he poured himself like a chicken in soup like a basin of cold water.

Two days later

Yun Yun was quite troubled about giving gifts to the teacher, and in a hurry, she had to turn over her own bottom box, although her father was a military attaché, she didn't understand those elegant things, and she didn't love calligraphy and painting and ink treasures, but between the comings and goings, she finally collected some old calligraphy and paintings, as well as Zhuang Yuncheng, who was also a gangster at the beginning, in order to decorate the façade, she also collected some favorite things, Yun Yun turned over a few boxes of calligraphy and paintings, calligraphy, literature and other miscellaneous things, and saw some famous and some unknown. She was attracted by a painting called "Dongfang Hong", signed "Ziyun Man", Yun Yun shook her head, I don't know, but this painting is beautiful - the size of a desk, several ink mountains stand majestically, uneven, ups and downs, on both sides of a rushing river, the sky above the big river, empty, the more the mountains are towering, the water is agitated; The sky was gray and red, and the distant mountain tops were redder, and a red sun was half exposed, but it shone the whole sky.

Yun Yun thought that the teacher should like it, he had fought all his life for his education career, and he must hope that China's future would eventually rise like this rising sun.

Zhuang Die raised a sum of cash from Xiao Jinyu two days ago, and has negotiated with the equipment provider, and will sign the contract today, so he can't go to Wen Tingyun's house. But it was too chaotic outside, and under the haze of restoration, the masses were in a state of rebellion and acted extremely irritable, Zhuang Yuncheng was extremely uneasy, so he personally sent Yunyun to and told her not to leave Teacher Wen's house before she went to pick her up.

When Yun Yun arrived, she first saw a few faces surrounding Wen Tingyun talking passionately, and her emotions were extremely high-pitched.

At this time, Mrs. Wen came out of the side room, saw Yun Yun, and said "Yun'er", interrupting the conversation of these new faces, they all looked at each other, Yun Yun was startled, hurriedly ran to Mrs. Wen's side, and asked in a low voice, "Who are they?" ”

"Your teacher's students." Mrs. Wen said and led Yun Yun into the room, and saw that Yun Yun was holding a tube-like thing in her hand, Yun Yun said that it was a painting and gave it to Mrs. Wen.

These students also asked Wen Tingyun: "Who is that girl?" ”

"It's also my student, but it's been a student many years ago, and now it's my goddaughter." Wen Tingyun said with a smile.

"Oh." They responded, and then discussed the matter of Yuan Shikai's restoration again, and their indignation was obvious.

Yun Yun was in the house, looking from the window, there were three boys around the table, dressed very plainly, wearing coarse cotton clothes, cotton and linen shoes, with a middle-of-the-way hairstyle, and looking elegant and courageous in his gestures. The two girls wore sky blue padded jackets, black close-fitting cotton pants, black skirts, and shoulder-length short hair, looking delicate and energetic.

Yun Yun looked at herself, wearing an off-white silk breasted short top, with a printed broken skirt, a delicate hairpin, pinned down from her shoulders, long hair that was almost up to her waist, and she had cut her hair when she was studying before, but then she became more and more slack, and she didn't look like a student.

Mrs. Wen said to Yunyun: "You can also go out for a walk, they are not conservative people, they often talk about saving the country and helping the world, this group of young people are very ambitious." You're also a student, so you can talk to them. ”

Permission felt embarrassed, but Wen Tingyun saw it and beckoned her over.

Everyone's eyes once again focused on this girl who seemed to be a "beautiful girl", Yun Yun seemed to have forgotten how to walk, looking at the warm and sincere eyes of this group of people, she felt a little ashamed of herself.

"This is Xiao Yun." Wen Tingyun said to everyone, "She is only nineteen years old, three years younger than the youngest of you, and she should be your junior sister." ”

"Little junior sister," a boy said with a smile, "My name is Chen Rundong." ”

The other two boys also said one after another:

"Fang Zhixue."

"Xiao Yiheng."

The two girls said:

"Yang Mo."

"Liu Qianqian."

This series of characters jumped into Yun Yun's ears, who was still panicking, so she entered from the left ear and came out from the right ear, she almost didn't remember one, only kept smiling and nodding in greeting.

After the meal, an afternoon, I never thought that I would experience this situation in my lifetime, so that her eyes and mind were broadened a little, and she had a little thinking about the value of life and the meaning of life.

"Today's motherland has reached the point where it cannot be more broken, and today's China has reached the point where it has to be saved immediately......"

"Young students shoulder the great historical task of saving the country and the world......"

"Education is the foundation of national prosperity, and I advocate education to save the country——"

"Political corruption is the source of national decline, and I advocate politics to save the country-"

One teacher, five students, passionately discussed "industry to save the country, the introduction of foreign systems, reform to save the country......"

Yun Yun looked at them stupidly, in front of the topics of "country, world, saving the country, helping the world, ideals", etc., she suddenly felt that she was extremely small, and her life was not even worth anything. And their image is extremely tall, but Yun Yun doesn't think they are just talking in generalities, because in their eyes, Yun Yun sees the light of ideals.

At the end of the afternoon, she finally remembered the names of these five senior sisters and brothers, she had no qualifications to interject, just silently admired their high-minded, serious and enthusiastic appearance, but he felt physically and mentally happy, this is the atmosphere that she did not feel at school, she recalled the rejection and cold eyes suffered in the school, and felt sad, she did not understand why her kindness and care for her classmates became "cozy" and "hypocrisy" in their mouths, so she would rather run home often, than go to school to get along with them.

After a while, the sky will be dark, everyone has to go home, Mrs. Wen can't stay, everyone just leaves, for this afternoon only said a few words, almost silent for an afternoon, but listened to the little sister with relish, several brothers and sisters also remembered her sweetness and quiet, and waved goodbye.

Yun Yun also muttered goodbye and waved goodbye, she had a good impression of Chen Rundong, and the topic of this afternoon was all under his control, with a broad back, a high-pitched and rough voice, a warm way of speaking, clear eyes, and eyes full of ideals...... are all unforgettable, for him, Yun Yun seems to be only able to admire and worship. Describe Chen Rundong with a sentence she saw in the book - this person, he will become a great weapon one day!

Just as Yun Yun's eyes were still focused on his back as he was about to leave the gate, Chen Rundong suddenly turned around, and the two met their eyes, Yun Yun was attracted by the magnet, and she couldn't even dodge.

"Rundong, aren't you leaving?" Xiao Yiheng shouted.

Chen Rundong came back to his senses at this time, he had forgotten the purpose of turning around, and was dragged away by several people in a daze.

Soon, Zhuang Die came to take Yunyun home, Zhuang Yuncheng was not at home, and Juan said that he was called by Zhong Yuqian to settle the accounts of the yarn shop. Yun Yun hadn't completely come out of those conversations with her senior brothers and sisters, and she couldn't help but compare Zhuang Yuncheng with them, "My brother and them are really not the same people at all." Yun Yun said in pieces, "I can't say who is superior and who is inferior......"
