When Tang Yi returned home, it was almost seven o'clock, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Aunt Fan hurriedly running and said, "Third Young Master, you are back, everyone in the family is waiting for you to have a banquet!" ”

Tang Yi smiled when he heard this and said, "I know, Aunt Fan, you arrange for someone to help me move the fireworks in the trunk and move them to the backyard, and after eating, I will take Jing'er and Yanran to set off the fireworks." ”

"I know it's here, young master, go quickly." Aunt Fan waved her hand and called two servants to carry the fireworks.

Tang Yi walked into the restaurant and saw that his father Tang Chaoyuan and a large family had already taken their seats, and everyone was chatting happily.

When everyone saw Tang Yi coming in, they all stopped talking and looked at Tang Yi.

Tang Yanran took the lead in asking: "Wow, third brother, you still know how to go home!" Tell me where to fool around! ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard Tang Yanran say this.

Tang Yi laughed, naturally came to Tang Zeng and sat down, looked at Tang Yanran and said: "The third brother bought fireworks for you, it is difficult to buy fireworks this year, and there are basically no fireworks in the Chinese world, only there are people in the French Concession who sell them, and the third brother I ran most of the French Concession to buy them." ”

After all, gunpowder is needed to make fireworks, and the Japanese in the Chinese world are very strict in controlling it.

When Tang Yanran heard this, she immediately jumped up happily, "Wow, fireworks!" Where? Where? Third brother, take me to set off fireworks now, okay! ”

At this point, Tang Chaoyuan, who was on the throne, felt that it was almost over, so he whispered to Aunt Fan: "Have a banquet." ”

Tang Yi replied to Tang Yanran with a smile: "After eating, the third brother will take you and Jing'er to put it." ”

"No! I'm going to go now. Tang Yanran was coquettish.

At this time, the eldest brother spoke, "Yanran is obedient, let's go and put it after eating." As he spoke, he glanced at his father Tang Chaoyuan with his eyes.

Seeing this, Tang Yanran immediately became obedient, "Okay, then let's go as soon as we finish eating." ”

After a while, the dishes were all served, Tang Yi was opening wine on the side, Tang Zeng was busy pouring wine, and after a while, everyone poured more or less red wine in their glasses.

"Hey, Burgundy, the old man was rare and generous for a while, and took out the wine store." Tang Yi muttered.

At this time, Tang Chaoyuan stood up, raised his wine glass, and looked at everyone, "As I told you on New Year's Day last year, I have to say this time like this, 38 years is a year of suffering, a year of helplessness, I know that you here, some people look down on me, a father who works for the Japanese, but you must know that if it is not for this family, for you, I don't have to be like this at all!" I Tang Chaoyuan participated in the revolution in my life, met Mr. Sun, led the army (merchant group), and sent supplies to the front, but at this age, I became a traitor, but I don't regret it. I don't care how you choose your own path in life, but remember, you must protect yourself, I hope that one day I can see that you are all all children and grandchildren, maybe you will be able to understand me then, cheers! ”

After that, Tang Chaoyuan drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Tang Yi, who knew the inside story, silently finished drinking, and although he looked at his father with some emotion in his heart, he admired his father's disguise of identity, true and false, false and real.

Tang Jing on the side was obviously not as calm as Tang Yi, her eyes were obviously a little red, obviously touched by some of Tang Chaoyuan's words.

After that, there was some silence at the dinner table, and after three rounds of drinking, it became a little lively, there were four young people there, and the meal was eaten quickly.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Yanran hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and poured Tang Yi's side, pulled Tang Yi's arm, and said angrily: "Third brother~Let's go~ Set off fireworks~"

Tang Yi was helpless, and signaled to his eldest brother Tang Zeng, and he continued to accompany his parents, and after getting the eldest brother's response, Tang Yi stood up and said, "Let's go with fireworks, Jing'er will go together." ”

In the backyard, Tang Yi took a lighter and lit fireworks.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Watching the brilliant fireworks burning themselves one after another in the night sky, Tang Yi lit a cigarette with some emotion, and he remembered the sacrificed Qiao Xiping.

He felt that Qiao Xiping was like fireworks, just to use his life to light up the dark sky in the occupied area, even if it was only for a moment, but it was also a light that people could see, and they could never forget it again.

Tang Yi felt that if Chai Jinchun was not compared with Qiao Xiping, as far as he was concerned, if he was tortured like this and threatened the lives of his relatives, he might not be able to hold on......

Yan Ran was dancing excitedly in front of her, watching a firework screaming heartlessly.

Tang Jing came to Tang Yi's side silently, "Who are you thinking about?" She asked.

"I'm thinking about you." He replied.

"Why?"

"I'm wondering what makes you so desperate."

"Do you really want to know?"

"Hmm."

"It's faith!"

"Boom!" Another firework exploded.

......

French Concession

After Peng San came out of the house of the director of the board of directors of the concession area, he thought about going to the brothel to have fun, and when he heard that a new brand had come recently, he thought of it and touched his bulging pocket.

He Peng Sanye wants to try it!

After all, it is within the French Concession, and it has not been greatly affected by the Japanese, so there are not a few people in the concession who celebrate the New Year.

When he walked to a small fork in Foch Road, Peng San felt that something was wrong, although he said that his observation power was not as good as before after many years, but after all, he had been patrolling for many years, and he keenly felt that there was a pair of eyes, silently watching him behind him.

Thinking of this, Peng San pretended to be a casual dream and turned around!

"Huh? No one? Isn't my Peng Sanye too excited? Peng San thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, Peng San turned around with confidence and prepared to continue walking towards the brothel.

But at this moment, a face appeared in front of him! Peng San was surprised! Immediately take the gun out of your bosom.

Who knew that as soon as the gun was taken out, the wrist was pinched by the person in front of him, and then a strong force pierced, and the wrist was twisted, Peng San suddenly felt pain, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the gun fell.

In such a situation, Peng San opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but he was hit in the throat by a slap, and Peng San lost the strength to resist in an instant.

At this time, the man who committed the murder came out of the shadows, and it was Deng Zhenting with a goatee.

Peng San's throat hurt sharply, but he still tried hard to scream, but the words became a slurred whimper, "Liu... Liu Bei. "It's a negligible voice.

Deng Zhenting smiled, "It seems that I may not be able to find you next time I have business......

"Woo... Rao..."Peng San desperately wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

Immediately after that, the strong desire to survive made Peng San roll on the ground and kowtow to Deng Zhenting vigorously, as if begging for his life.

Deng Zhenting pursed his lips and said nothing, he picked up the gun and pointed it at Peng San's head.

"Boom!"

The sound of this gunshot, mixed with the sound of fireworks in the concession, seemed to be to welcome the arrival of the new year.
