Chapter 35: The Choice
"Don't scratch, don't scratch, the more you scratch, the more itchy it gets, if you scratch the skin, it will be more itchy......"
Yang Yi said apologetically, bringing the leeks that had already been prepared and the snow made his hands full of head and face, just like Yang Quanlin, who had tens of thousands of fleas and ants crawling on his body, hurriedly applied it to his body, and at the same time wiped his body with snow, these soil methods can relieve the itching caused by lacquer allergies.
Of course, it's just relief, and it's impossible to stop it.
"Why, why are you hurting me?"
Yang Quanlin shouted with grief and indignation, if Yang Yi had treated him like this a few days ago, he would still be able to think about the past.
After all, a person like Yang Yi, who only wants to live his own family's small life, is never willing to deal with a revolutionary like him, so let alone tossing him and driving him away, even if he has the intention to kill him, he can understand.
But now, isn't that all clear?
"Big brother is not harming you!"
Yang An stood far away, resisting the urge to grab it on himself, and explained sincerely: "Now the city is full of photos of you, it's impossible to go out like this, you're allergic to lacquer, your whole body is swollen, and no one can recognize you, only in this way can I help you get out of the city......"
"You can't die of lacquer allergies, as long as you survive the first seven or eight days, you will slowly get better...... Yang Yi also said.
"Seven or eight days? Boil? ”
When Yang Quanlin heard this, he was speechless, but looking at Yang Yi's look of "I am all for your good", he couldn't scold a few times, and said in his heart that this itchy body is like a worm drilling into the bones, you come and try it!
Yang Yi had already seen through his thoughts, and said gently: "I have already tried, seven or eight days of hard work, and it will be over in the blink ......of an eye."
He said it as easily as enduring a few days of this kind of itching that penetrates deep into the bone marrow and eating less food a day.
Yang Quanlin rubbed the snow on his body, and he found that he didn't want to talk to Yang Yi more and more.
Because he knows very well that this guy is like most Chinese people, what he is best at is to survive the muddy life, and he always feels that as long as he survives the future, he will have a good life.
But in fact, a good life is never something that can be survived, but a hard time!
Thinking of these, Yang Quanlin felt more and more that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy.
He vowed that he must wake up Yang Yi, and there are many, many Chinese people like Yang Yi, so that they can understand that if they want to live a good life, they can't just rely on hardship, and they have to fight for their own good life.
"Then stay at home, don't forget to train, and when the pain on your body is almost gone, I'll send you away!"
Closing the door, he finally couldn't see Yang Quanlin's appearance of scratching and itching all over his body as if he was going to be out of his body, Yang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and scratched a few times all over his body, Yang Quanlin's appearance really felt itchy when he looked at it.
Yang An was already dressed neatly and was ready to go to the Western Medical Hall, and he was a little twisted and unaccustomed to wearing a well-fitting caftan for the first time.
"Go diligently, have a sweeter mouth, talk less and see more, you know?"
Yang Yi greeted, his eyes relieved, as if parents had found that their children had suddenly grown up.
Yang An nodded, and then stepped out of the door.
Yang Yi stood at the entrance of the courtyard and watched his younger brother's figure disappear into the alley, so he got busy, cleaning the house, cutting all kinds of gadgets, listening to Yang Quanlin in the house tossing himself, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
Before, he was worried that the other party would not exercise because he was afraid of hardship, but now he is not worried, he is itchy and uncomfortable, and Yang Quanlin has no other choice than tossing and paralyzing himself.
Life is going on in a normal way.
Yang Yi is busy at home, taking care of Yang Quanlin, sometimes going to accompany Song Jiawen, sometimes Song Jiawen will come to see him, Yang An starts a new life in the Western medical hall, Yang Kuan helps in the grain and oil store, reads in his free time, and Yang Ping sells cigarettes at the street outside the grain and oil store......
The family is like a tender grass in early spring, growing tenaciously.
But the whole city was shrouded in invisible clouds, and everywhere there were students running through the streets, as if looking for something.
Yang Kuan was reading a book at the counter, writing and calculating with a pen from time to time, and every cry of his sister in his ears was urging him to redouble his efforts.
"Yang Kuan, Yang Kuan......"
A few students walked by, and when they saw Yang Kuan who was studying, their eyes were anxiously whispering.
"Senior Su, why are you here, come in and sit for a while!"
Seeing that it was Su Yuanxing's several familiar classmates, Yang Kuan hurriedly got up to greet him.
Su Yuanxing shook his head and asked anxiously: "Principal Zhang is gone, the classmates have been looking for two days, but they can't find it, Mrs. They are all crazy......
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Yang Kuan was taken aback and said, "How could the principal be gone?" There won't be any surprises, right? ”
"Hard to say!"
Su Yuanxing lowered his voice and said: "Everyone suspects that the disappearance of the principal is related to those gendarmes and military spies, and the classmates also went to the gendarmerie to make trouble a few times, but the gendarmerie didn't admit it at all, and everyone had no way, thinking that Song Jiawen was so familiar with Guo Xiaokun, I wanted you to help spread the word, and asked her to help ask Guo Xiao......kun about it."
Yang Kuan was very hesitant, he didn't want to trouble Song Jiawen, but he really didn't want Principal Zhang to have an accident.
"Brother and sister, do you want cigarettes?"
Yang Ping trotted over, asked innocently with a cigarette, and her little hands were red from the cold, like little carrots.
"Pingping, this is my brother's classmate, you let us talk for a while......"
Yang Kuan sadly pushed his sister away, and finally said ruthlessly: "Guo Xiaokun and we are also classmates, if you want to inquire about him, you can go directly to him, why involve Jiawen?" ”
"How can it be the same? We are just classmates with Guo Xiaokun, but Guo Xiaokun likes Jiawen! ”
Su Yuanxing and the others glared at Yang Kuan angrily and said: "Don't forget, Principal Zhang is not only our principal, but also your principal, if it weren't for Principal Zhang's efforts, our school might not be able to build at all, and there would be no money to fund poor students to continue their studies. ”
At the beginning, the provincial school was being established, but there was a lack of teachers and funds, and there was a shortage of everything.
Zhang Ruxuan begged his grandfather and grandmother everywhere, won funds, and invited teachers, so that there is a current school, so that thousands of students can study in the provincial capital, get in touch with the latest scientific and technological knowledge, and broaden their horizons.
Even in order to allow students like Yang Kuan who are interested in studying but have a poor family to continue to study, Zhang Ruxuan used his influence to ask for donations everywhere with a shy old face, and used the funds raised to reduce the tuition fees of poor students, etc., it can be said that for the school, Zhang Ruxuan dedicated everything he could, and because he was deeply loved by the students.
That's why his disappearance makes students so worried and anxious.
Of course, Yang Kuan knows this, and he has indeed benefited from Zhang Ruxuan's efforts to reduce part of the tuition and miscellaneous fees, and he has always been grateful in his heart.
However, thinking of the efforts made by the eldest brother and younger brothers and sisters for themselves, and the fact that he saved Yang Quanlin and put the family in crisis until now, Yang Kuan couldn't bear to disappoint them again, gritted his teeth and said: "I'm sorry, I really can't help......"
"Yang Kuan, if you don't participate in what you usually do in school, it doesn't matter, in the end, everyone has their own ambitions!"
Su Yuanxing said angrily: "But I didn't expect Principal Zhang to dedicate everything to our school, and now that he is in danger, you are not even willing to help, it is really cold-blooded to the extreme-from now on, I, Su Yuanxing, will break off with you!" ”
After saying that, he left in a hurry, and a group of students also spat a few mouthfuls at Yang Kuan, not even wanting to look at Yang Kuan more, as if they would dirty their eyes if they looked at him more.
"Second brother, don't pay attention to them!"
Yang Ping came over and said to Yang Kuan, who had an ugly face: "Our family is different from them, the family is good, peaceful, better than anything else......"
"Know ......"
Yang Kuan squatted down and rubbed Yang Ping's cold little hand, his heart was mixed, and he said that he only wanted the family to be good, but in this era, it is really difficult to be alone......
Song Jiawen came to the store to check the business, put a pair of gloves on Yang Ping's hand, Yang Ping smiled happily, Song Jiawen also laughed, there was sunshine from the clouds, and the smiles of the two were particularly bright in this ice and snow.
"Kuankuan, eat, what do you want?"
Yang Yi asked, Yang Kuan smiled and said it was okay, Yang Ping glanced at Yang Kuan silently, and lowered his head to eat.
Yang An said some things in the Western Medicine Hall, everything in the Western Medicine Hall was new to him, and to Yang Yi and Yang Ping, it was also fresh.
After eating, Yang Yi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Yang Kuan took some food and prepared it for Yang Quanlin, who was alone next door.
"Kuankuan!"
Yang Yi suddenly said: "I will send Brother Quan Lin away tomorrow, the family will rely on you, if you have anything to explain to Brother Quan Lin, just tell him tonight, I think in the future, we may not have a chance to meet him......"
Yang Kuan's heart suddenly sudden, and he realized that the eldest brother was reminding him that from tonight onwards, he would completely cut off relations with these people from the revolutionary party.
The redness and swelling on Yang Quanlin's body due to allergies became more and more serious, but the itching was reduced a lot, and the muscle soreness from overtraining disappeared.
"Your eldest brother has made me miserable!"
Yang Quanlin said depressedly while eating, and asked if anything was going on outside.
Yang An knew that although Yang Quanlin and Principal Zhang had a huge age gap, they were inseparable from each other, and if he knew that the principal was missing, he didn't know what else would happen, so he hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't dare to tell him about it, just put the roster on the table and wanted to return it to the other party.
"When I go to Manchuria this time, I don't know if I can still live!"
Yang Quanlin groped for the roster, and seemed to see the faces of the comrades from the roster, and finally pushed the roster in front of Yang Kuan again and said: "This roster is saved by my comrades with blood and life, even if I die, the roster cannot be lost - help me keep it, if I die, someone will come to you in the future to pick up ......"
Yang Kuan didn't want to agree, but seeing Yang Quanlin's dying-like expression, he finally agreed.
