Chapter 440: Husband and Wife Discuss Bravely Face It
The county seat of Lin'an County. The north courtyard of the Fang family compound. Living room on the first floor of the Mochizuki Building. In the morning.
Guo Shuting clearly heard her husband Fang Daxian's self-talk upstairs just now, and Guo Shuting, who suppressed her anxiety, walked down the stairs elegantly and slowly with two rolled up pictures in her right hand, quietly walked to her husband's side and sat down, and said in a soft voice:
"I'll tell you what to do. Daxian, don't worry. After speaking, Guo Shuting put the two pictures in her hand on the coffee table.
"Huh? Shuting, do you know what to do? Tell me about it. ”
Guo Shuting is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fang family, in charge of all the affairs of the Fang family and the family affairs of the Fang family for more than 20 years, the management is orderly and reasonable, as well as the strict and systematic education and comprehensive cultivation of the children, which has won the trust and trust of her husband, parents-in-law, the whole of the Fang family and the Fang family. In fact, soon after Guo Shuting married into the Fang family, she began to participate in the management of the Fang family's assets, such as expenditure estimation, balance of income and expenditure, risk analysis, farmland and real estate, with her sober mind and shrewd calculation, and also intervened in the operation of various businesses and transactions. Over time, Guo Shuting became an indispensable helper, consultant and staff member of Fang Daxian. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the occupation of the entire territory of North China by the Japanese invading army, Fang Daxian needed his wife to offer advice at any time to solve the difficulties. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a phase of stalemate, and the situation of the family became more and more difficult and confused under the inhumane burning and looting of the Japanese army, the wanton expropriation by the puppet government, the excesses of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the lack of grain harvests, and the unsatisfactory business. What reassured the couple was that their youngest son, whom they had loved and trusted since childhood, had been away from home for more than two years without a sound from him, but suddenly returned without warning when he was confused and panicked. By observing his speech and behavior, and his daily behavior, they found that his son became more and more mature, calm and calm. The biggest discovery was that they realized that their son had returned with a great mission. It is inconvenient for the son to say and say more, and it is inconvenient for them to ask deeply and carefully, but they understand and tacitly support silently, and they will never intervene if they can not come forward to participate directly. However, the current development of the situation has reached a critical juncture, and there are some things that should be clearly explained to my son. Otherwise, otherwise, if there is a sudden accident, I am afraid it will be too late to say. Just when Fang Daxian hesitated and didn't know what to do, Kennai Suke appeared beside him in time and made it clear what to do.
Guo Shuting held Fang Daxian's left hand with both hands, looked firm, and said in a resolute tone:
"Daxian, I know what you're worried about, and I also know what you're going to say to Xiao Liuzi? My thought is that I can't talk about it when I'm nervous and critical right now. Don't ask, don't guess, we all know what kind of person Xiao Liuzi is now, and what he is going to do when he returns to Lin'an County. If he were told the past and the truth more than twenty years ago, it would have been a great blow to him, and it would probably weaken his will, disturb his mind, and prevent him from doing what he had to do. If Xiao Liuzi failed miserably because of the previous grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes and the catastrophe of the Fang family, then we would have become national sinners, and the Fang family might be infamous for sabotaging the anti-Japanese resistance. Therefore, at this time, you can't tell Xiao Liuzi. ”
"Well, yes, you can't tell Xiao Liuzi. But, but, Shuting, you all know what the situation is now, the sword is ruthless, and the gun is not long-sighted. Alas! It's not that you don't know our son's temper, he has to rush to the forefront of everything. In case Xiao Liuzi has three long and two short, it will be too late to tell him again. ”
"I know, of course I know, I know my son too well. Daxian, even if there is such a possibility, he can't say it to Xiao Liuzi now, and he can't say a word. I hope that God will have a long eye and that there will be no terrible eventuality. We also need to fully believe in our son, who should have the means and ability to avoid the unfortunate eventuality. It's not too late to tell Xiao Liuzi when he finishes things successfully and satisfactorily. ”
"Well, well, it's all up to you, just do as you say. Shuting, when you say that, my heart is much brighter, and I am not so depressed. You're really my virtuous helper and high counselor, I almost made a big mistake. ”
"Daxian, you can't say that, I can understand your hard work and your father-son relationship. Am I not? Alas, looking at this world and the current situation, and then thinking about our tragic son, as well as the mission he shoulders and what he will do, my mother's heart will be broken. Alas, little Liuzi, my hard-working son, you must not have any mistakes and injuries, we can't explain if something really happens. Before she finished speaking, Guo Shuting couldn't help but shed tears.
At this time, Fang Daxian's heart was also sour and painful. Changing the subject, he asked:
"Okay, okay, Shuting, let's not talk about this matter, don't be sad, I believe that nothing unexpected will happen to our son. Ay? What are you taking? Is it your embroidery pattern? Fang Daxian asked with a pretended lightheartedness.
"It's not. Now that the family disaster and the country are imminent, where do I still have the heart to embroider? Guo Shuting took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears, unfolded the two pictures on the coffee table with both hands and smoothed them out, and said: "These are the two pictures left by Xiao Liuzi for you, one is the military map of the Japanese army, and the other is a copy of the picture translated into Chinese by Xiao Liuzi for you." Daxian, have you understood everything? ”
"Well, I've read it all, and I can almost understand it and understand it. Well? Shuting, why did you suddenly ask me about these two pictures? Did you see these two pictures as well? Can you read it? Fondashi didn't understand what his wife meant.
"Daxian, you can't do this, how can you stay on top of ten? You have to fully understand and see through these two diagrams before you can have a way to deal with it."
"Huh? What's going on? Shuting, tell me what you think? ”
"Well, it seems that if you don't say it now, it's too late. Daxian, since Xiao Liuzi came back, he didn't say a word to me about the outside world, nor did he say where he went in the two years he left home? He has done something, not to mention what he is going to do when he comes back this time. But I heard every conversation between your father and son upstairs in the living room, and I understood and understood. I've been looking at these two pictures these days, and I've been thinking about everything. ”
"Huh? Shuting, can you read these two pictures? What do you know in your heart? ”
"Of course I can read it. Daxian, you see, the road into Yufeng Mountain, the mountains around the Hulu Valley, several villages in the Hulu Valley, coal mines, ironworks, warehouses, grain depots, fields, forests, rivers and lakes are all clearly marked on this map, and then compared with the explanations and explanations translated by Xiao Liuzi, what can you think of? ”
"The Japanese army may have some intentions against our family's gourd valley."
"Daxian, I think so, judging from these two maps, the Japanese army has made up its mind to attack and occupy Hulu Valley, but the specific time has not yet been finalized. This may be what Xiao Liuzi told you, what a mountain plan. ”
"Mt. Fuji Project. It's entirely possible, and that's what Xiao Liuzi told me. Hum! Want to capture the Gourd Valley? That's not going to work. ”
"Yes, absolutely not. Daxian, for the sake of the people of western Hebei, and for the sake of our Fang family, Hulu Valley must not fall into the hands of the Japanese army, absolutely not. ”
"Humph! Even if you use up your family wealth and risk your life, you have to do a big job, and you have to fight to save the gourd valley. This is no longer a matter for our Fang family and the people of western Hebei, but a major matter for the country and the nation. It seems that I have to and must go out of the mountain. ”
"Yes. Daxian, I support you to go out of the mountain, and I will do it with you and my son. However, shouldn't you report to your boss for advice? ”
"It should. Shuting, but no one has contacted me for more than two years, where can I go to find my boss? Alas, it's really burning eyebrows. ”
"yes. Daxian, if we can't find a superior boss, then should we do it? If so, what? How? ”
