Chapter 1: Leaving Home (No. 1 Middle School)

The neighbors were also stunned, and for a while, no one thought of making a fortune. Seeing him stagnate on the ground.

Or did Blacksmith Li react quickly, he was the first to come back to his senses, first grabbed Zhang Youcai's waist with his hand, and then flew up and kicked Zhao Renyi, the young man who came to report the news, "What howl?" The third young master is a person who has a university question, how can he be abducted by a liar?! Little Liuzi, you tell me carefully, what the hell is going on?! ”

"Yes, yes, six, six sons, you, don't worry, say carefully, say!" After all, he has experienced several ups and downs, Zhang Youcai was awakened by Blacksmith Li's words, quickly adjusted his mentality, and urged with a trembling voice.

"I, I'll go to the station with the eldest young master to pick up the third young master!" Zhao Renyi got up from the ground and responded with tears in his eyes, "The car, the car arrived, and then drove away." No, no one was received! ”

"Maybe it's tomorrow!" Boss Zhao of the woodware shop struck his nephew on the forehead and refuted loudly. Turning his head, he slowed down his voice again, and comforted Zhang Youcai with a forced smile, "Uncle Cai, don't worry." Maybe the date on the letter was written incorrectly. Today's young people are so-so in everything they do, our fourth brother and his son, ...... last year"

didn't wait for a comforting word to finish, and listened to Zhao Renyi's aggrieved rebuttal, "No, it's not a mistake!" I didn't receive anyone with the eldest young master, but I met Steward Sun of Hetai Foreign Bank. The third young master asked him to bring a letter to Uncle Cai, saying yes, saying that he was going to Beiping, to vote, to join the army!! ”

The more I am afraid of something, the more I hear the word "join the army", Zhang Youcai's eyes are black again. The splitter grabbed Zhao Renyi and asked tremblingly, "Letter, what about faith?" Show it to me! ”

"Yes, faith, faith! Uncle Cai, don't believe this kid, he is not reliable at all! The neighbors also gathered around and said.

"Letter, letter in the hands of the eldest young master!" The young man Zhao Renyi was full of grievances and responded in a very small voice.

"What about the eldest young master?!" Everyone asked, in unison.

"The eldest young master hired, hired a horse, and chased to Liucheng! said, I said that I wanted to intercept the third young master back! Zhao Renyi thought about it and replied aggrievedly.

Liucheng is one hundred and sixty miles north of Lucheng, there is a railway, and two roads are connected to Lucheng. In these days, trains stop and go, and they may not be faster than good horses. Hearing the news that his eldest son had gone to intercept him, Zhang Youcai calmed down a little, thought about it, and continued to ask, "Then, what else did Steward Sun say?" Who did the third son go with? Whose army are you going to go to Peking to vote?! ”

"Yes, little sixth son, what else did Steward Sun say? Tell us everything you know! The neighbors grabbed Zhao Renyi and urged in unison.

"Sun, Steward Sun......" At this moment, Zhao Renyi had to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and gasped and talked about the details of the pick-up.

It turned out that he and the big shopkeeper Zhang Shouling went to the train station to pick up the third young master, and waited at the exit for a long time until the train left, and he didn't see the figure of the third young master. When he was in a hurry, the chief shopkeeper Zhang Shouling saw the carriage of Hetai Yangxing at the exit. There were several large suitcases next to the car, and it looked like they had just gotten off the train.

Zhang Shouling had a relationship with Hetai in the mall, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask if the other party had seen his younger brother on the train. It happened that Steward Sun of the foreign bank poked his head out of the carriage, and when he saw that it was the shopkeeper who was asking, he responded with a smile: "Isn't this Brother Shouling?" You're asking the right question. I'm about to go to Hanyuan Trading House to find you. I met your brother on the train, and he asked me to bring a letter to Uncle Youcai....."

As he spoke, he took out a lacquered letter from his jacket pocket and handed it to Zhang Shouling. Zhang Shouling was surprised and delighted, didn't care about reading the letter, and hurriedly asked Steward Sun about his brother's whereabouts. When Steward Sun heard this, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, pulled Zhang Shouling and walked a few steps to a secluded place, looked around, and replied in a low voice: "Brother Shouling, I didn't say you." Why didn't you go to the provincial capital earlier to pick up Brother Ling! At his age, he is the most impulsive. As soon as others incite it, they will be enthusiastic! ”

"What's wrong, what the hell happened to him?!" At that time, Zhang Shouling saw sweat on his forehead, pulled Steward Sun's sleeve, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Alas!" Steward Sun looked around again, as if he was afraid of being watched, and suppressed his voice to almost inaudible, "On our train, the evil door is penetrated." As soon as the train departed from the provincial capital, there were young people who began to sing and give speeches, and they were strung together from car to car. Saying that North China is already in danger, and what Hebei is lost, Shandong is the next target of the Japanese attack. Therefore, to support Beiping at the moment is to defend Shandong. Call on everyone to contribute money and efforts to go to the national disaster together. Isn't that all? Song Zheyuan from Hebei and Chairman Han from Shandong have always been at odds with each other......."

"What about the third son, what about my third brother, you say it quickly, what does this have to do with my third brother?!" Zhang Shouling was impatient and interrupted in a low voice.

"Am I not talking about this?" Steward Sun looked around again and lowered his voice, "The key is that there are some truths that the two of us know, and he doesn't understand the third child of your family!" As soon as people sing, he sings along. As soon as people shouted slogans, he shouted. shouted all the way from the provincial capital to Lucheng. Seeing that it was almost time to get to the station, he handed me a letter. Then I made up a ticket and went directly to Peking with that group! ”

"Stupid!" Zhang Shouling was so angry that he stomped his feet. Over the years, he has seen a lot of the world. You don't have to think about it carefully, and you understand that your brother has made the worst choice. I am afraid that the group of young people shouting slogans are not hiding the Kuomintang but the Communist Party, and it would be better to say that the former is hidden. Although Chairman Han did not deal with Chairman Chiang, he would not openly use a knife with the Kuomintang. In case there is a Communist Party hidden in that group of young people, and their younger brother gets involved with each other, it will be a catastrophe that will destroy the family, and there will be no chance to turn back in the future!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly thanked Steward Sun. While sending the young man Zhao Renyi home to report the news, he strode towards the mule and horse shop near the station. With the face of rolling in the mall for many years, he rented a Liaodong horse from the mule and horse shop, and chased it towards the next station of the train, Liucheng one hundred and sixty miles away!

The two sons chased after each other, and tonight's banquet would definitely not be held. After listening to the report of the young man Zhao Renyi, the senior neighbors picked up the meat purse from the ground, patted the soil on it, and pressed it back into Zhang Youcai's hand. At the same time, he relieved him with gossips, "Hey, that's it!" Uncle Cai, don't listen to the little Liuzi scorpion stinging the ground. The third young master is a learned person, even if he is dizzy by others for a while, he will soon understand the taste. I guess he didn't have to go to Liucheng to start regretting it. When the time comes, you can find a small station to get off the train, and then play a return ticket tomorrow morning, and you can get home before lunch! ”

"Isn't it? What kind of person is the third young master, who can follow your ass at the age of four and pull the abacus beads behind your ass, how can it be so easy to be deceived by others?! I guess he just sang and sang enthusiastically, and he couldn't wipe his face and get off the bus for a while. After a few days, I'll be calming down! In order to let Zhang Youcai relax his heart, Shopkeeper Zhao even listed Zhang Sanshao's magical past of learning abacus from his father when he was a child.

At this moment, Zhang Youcai's heart is like a dozen catties of hemp rope stirred together, where can he have any stable ideas? ! Listening to what everyone said easily, he sighed, shook his head and said, "Alas, I'm afraid I'm afraid of his cleverness!" The smarter you are, the more you refuse to listen to others. As long as it is the reason that you have identified, it is a road to the dark. Alas, if I had known this, I should have asked his eldest brother to pick him up before the holidays. thought that in the provincial capital, the second child could take good care of him. Who knew that the second child, who killed a thousand knives, didn't care about his brother at all! ”

"There are a lot of things on the second young master's side, so I guess I can't take care of it!" Seeing that Zhang Youcai blamed all the blame on his second son, everyone hurriedly continued to explain, "Besides, didn't the eldest young master chase after him?!" In these years, no one is willing to spend money to clean up the railway. Is the train not as fast as the donkey? When the eldest young master blocks the third child at Liucheng Station, no one else can snatch the younger brother away in the hands of the elder brother! ”

"Yes! As far as the body of your eldest young master is concerned, the ordinary three or two big men are not opponents at all. As long as he stops in the car and lets the third child go home with him, who would dare to say another word?! ”

When the eldest of the Zhang family was a teenager, he followed his father to buy and ship goods from south to north, and he had seen a lot of wind and waves, and his body was extremely strong. Tearing it up, ordinary people's bodyguards may not be his opponents. And the third child of the Zhang family, Ping Su is also the most afraid of him, the eldest brother. Sometimes I dare to talk in front of my father, and when I see my brother's eyes, I am immediately frightened like a cat and mouse, and I want to slip away against the wall.

The audience analyzed it reasonably, and Zhang Youcai finally breathed a sigh of relief. I want to say a few words to explain to everyone, but I feel empty in my heart, and I don't know what to say. The neighbors also understood that he was worried about his youngest son, and did not want to cause him any more trouble at this juncture. smiled and comforted a few words, and persuaded Uncle Cai to relax. The third young master can settle accounts at the age of four, and can read and write at the age of five, and his creation is definitely different from ordinary people. Even if you encounter any trouble, you will turn evil into good fortune. Tonight, everyone at this banquet will write it down for the time being, and when the eldest young master and the third young master come back together, they will have two tables and one table, so as to suppress the shock of the old rich uncle and wash the dust for the third young master.

Zhang Youcai agreed with "hey" and staggered home. The pork purse in his hand can no longer be lifted, and his arms and legs seem to weigh thousands of pounds. When I entered the house, I saw Xu Xian's wife and two casual daughters, and I had to count the account of the third son's refusal to return to the latter's head.

Xu Xian's wife Zheng Yue'er is twenty years younger than him, and it is when she can't help the fire in her stomach, how can she be willing to suffer such an unwarranted disaster. Immediately threw away the spatula and iron spoon, packed up the bedding and prepared to go back to his parents' house. Zhang Youcai knew that he was at a loss, so he had to block the door again, and when the family house was restored to peace, the worries about his youngest son were also diluted a lot. Holding a pot of old coarse tea, he sat in front of the window and started to stay!
