Chapter 10 Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have not been perfected
It's early in the morning, Sima Qing still gets up early, and the habit he has developed for decades will not be nostalgic because he is in a gangster's den.
In the courtyard, Sima Changkong was already practicing his sword technique, and Sima Qing was sitting on the steps, looking at his son unconsciously, at this time he seemed to realize that he was really old. Sima Qing couldn't see the knife path in the sky, and he didn't need to understand, he just watched his son live and vibrancy.
Changkong saw Sima Qing sitting on the steps and looking at himself, and also came to sit with his father, the father and son were friends for the first time, Changkong looked at Sima Qing's white temples, and couldn't say a lot of words in his heart, just a sour feeling, he felt that his father was old, and the pillars who had been working hard for this family were now a little bent, he wanted to stay around his father, if there was no war, he would rather open a martial arts gym at home, but the master said that the Japanese soldiers could cross the Great Wall at any time
"Dad, let's move south! The war may well cross the Great Wall! Changkong wanted to persuade his father to avoid the flames of war that would ignite at some point.
"No, no, no, I'm right here! This is the root that gives birth to us! Let's fight a war! There should be such a catastrophe in life, and there is no escape! Sima Qing said very easily, like a monk who has seen through the red dust.
"Dad, when I came, the master asked me to do my best for the country, and he also wrote a letter of recommendation, asking me to join the 29th Army stationed in Beiping."
"Oh, the Twenty-ninth Army! Isn't your master from the 29th Army? Go ahead! Young people should have this ambition! β
"Dad, but I don't want to leave you anymore!" Changkong told Sima Qing the contradiction in his heart.
Sima Qing looked at Changkong, stood up, and said: "A manly man can't be such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, looking forward to the future, as long as your decision is right, you have to do it, and your family will fully support you!" Your father and I are not old enough to need to be taken care of! You can't do anything even if you stay at home, you might as well go to the battlefield and show off your skills! Remember, only by saving the country can we keep our own home! β
The contradiction in Changkong's heart was blown away by these words, and what was left was firm belief, the father in front of him had always been that tall Sima Qing went out with Changkong's knife, and Changkong didn't answer his questions, but just waved his hand at Changkong, meaning don't follow him, stay at home......
Besides, it was Director Zhao who personally pressed Zhou Zhentian, Nie Yuan, and Liu Quan to Zaoyuan County, and Wu Hao, the director of the Zaoyuan County Police Department, was already fifty years old, and he didn't care about these things for a long time, and he just wanted to live his own small life in a down-to-earth manner, and his diligence and credit to Director Zhao were only perfunctory.
Director Zhao thought that he was highly praised, but he really drank a bowl of cold porridge, and he was very depressed, thinking that since the director had such an attitude, the reward from his superiors would not be obtained, so it would be better to sell his favor to the Sima family, and knock on a sum of money, that is for sure, just do it, if you can't get an official, you have to make some money......
At noon, Changkong saw that Sima Qing had not come back, worried that other bandits would kidnap his father again, and he was anxious in his heart, and was about to go out to look for it, but saw Sima Qing entering the house with a knife. As soon as Sima Qing entered the house, he beckoned the kitchen to hold a family banquet at noon today.
The family thought it was to celebrate the reunion, but no one expected it to be a send-off meal.
Sima's family set up three tables in the courtyard, and the family members and employees also served the tables in a dignified manner. The feeling of a big family......
Geng Qiu deliberately changed into a new dress and put on a pearl necklace; Huitong also took care of it beautifully; Sima Xin and his family smiled happily; The three brothers are even more spiritual......
"Everyone, today we are holding a banquet for everyone." Sima Qing spoke before the opening ceremony: "Not for me to go home safely this time, but to comfort the three young heroes of our Sima family." Hahaha"
The three brothers were a little embarrassed, and at this time Sima Xiaoguo stood up: "I'm also doing well!" If I hadn't tried to pee my pants at the time, how could I have made that Yaksha believe me! β
The family burst into laughter.
Sima Qing also smiled very happily, but what he said below was the main topic: "The Japanese knocked on the Great Wall, and the battle was so tragic that we all heard from Changkong's master Qi Lian Chang." Although there is a truce now, the danger will not be lifted as soon as those aggressors get out of our country. β
Sima Qing picked up the wine glass, and the others followed suit, listening to Sima Qing continue: "I am very glad that Sima Changkong has ambition, he obeyed the master's instructions to go to Beiping to join the 29th Army and serve the country!" This meal is for him to practice! β
Before the words fell, I only heard that a cup fell on the ground and shattered, it was Geng Qiu who suddenly twisted his heart when he heard that his son was going to join the army, the mother and son were separated for two years, and they were separated again in less than two days after they were reunited, and it was a time of war, and entering the army meant losing their lives at any time. The tears were like summer rain, crackling down, but fortunately, Huitong sat next to her and comforted her in a low voice......
Sima Changkong didn't expect his father's actions to be so fast, practicing rice! He said to Sima Qing that he was not ready.
But Sima Qing asked solemnly, will the battle in the sky give you time to prepare? Sima Qing took out the knife and handed it to Changkong, asking Changkong to look at the blade.
Sima Changkong pulled out the knife, and for a while, he saw that both sides of the knife were engraved with words, which were "Kill the Japanese Invaders" and "Protect the Country".
"You must always keep in mind these six words for the Father!" After Sima Qing finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. Other family members also drank alcohol, and some did not. Changyun had already put it down, but he picked it up again, looked at the sky, and drank it all.
"Dad, I'm going to follow my brother to join the army!" Changhai stood up, obviously very excited.
"No, you're going to stay home!" Sima Changkong asked Changhai to take good care of his parents at home.
"Then I'll go with my brother!" Changyun also stood up: "I have a gun!" β
When Sima Xin and his wife saw their baby son say this, they were anxious, and when they wanted to say something, they were preempted by Changkong and said: "You can't go, the second uncle is just your son, and you can revitalize the family business with Changhai at home!" β
At this time, I heard someone knocking on the door, and the voice changed from light to heavy, as if there was something urgent. Xiaoguo hurriedly went to open the door, and it turned out that Director Zhao had arrived.
"What kind of door is locked in the middle of the day! I said......" Director Zhao saw that the three tables of banquets were full of good wine and good food, and his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It's really better to come early than to come by chance!" Is this a celebration feast? β
Sima Qing hurriedly invited Director Zhao to take a seat, but Director Zhao was not polite and sat down.
"This is a practice feast for my son!" Sima Qing explained while pouring wine for Director Zhao.
"Practice? What's ......" Director Zhao only cared about stuffing meat into his mouth, choked carelessly, quickly took a sip of wine, felt better, and continued: "Why are you leaving just two days after you came back, where are you going?" β
Huitong was very disgusted when she saw Director Zhao eating like this, so she helped Geng Qiu back to the house, and Chang Xiuzhen also followed to take care of Geng Qiu, who was crying. The other family members began to come over and toast Sima Changkong one by one, not caring about Director Zhao at all.
"It's that he is going to Beiping tomorrow to join the 29th Army, this is not the Japanese are still on the edge of the Great Wall, he wants to protect his family and defend the country." Sima Qing filled Director Zhao with wine again.
"That's good! Ambitious! Director Zhao hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of things, raised his wine glass to Changkong and said, "Nephew, come, I will toast you!" You can go to the army with peace of mind, and go to defend your family and the country with peace of mind! You've got me in your house! β
Changkong looked at Sima Qing's face and clinked glasses with Director Zhao. Changhai and Changyun didn't want to see this Director Zhao, so they got up to leave, but Sima Xin made a color, meaning that it was best not to leave the table, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if there was no one at the table. The two young men sat down helplessly.
"Brother Sima, I'm here to bring you good news!" Director Zhao had almost eaten and wiped his mouth.
Sima Xin asked the servant to fetch some fruit.
"This ...... Regarding Zhou Zhentian and the three of them, I thought about it, although their deeds were bad, but for the sake of them being good men and not hurting anyone, I pleaded with them and forgave them without guilt! β
"That's great! I'll just say that Director Zhao is benevolent and righteous! Sima Qing hurriedly gave Director Zhao a look.
"Alasβif it weren't for your brother's face, I'd have collapsed them!" Director Zhao's demeanor laughed twice, and it seemed that there was still the following: "However, this plea, it really cost me a lot!" This one...... Otherwise, you'll have to break them down to make an example! β
Sima Qing and Sima Xin both heard that Director Zhao came here to ask for money, although they were very unhappy, but they ...... What can be done? Don't give money? I'm afraid that those three people will really be ordered by Director Zhao to collapse! Since he asked Director Zhao to release him, he should pay for it as a virtue!
Sima Qing and Sima Xin invited Director Zhao to the room to talk, and after a while, Director Zhao, who was bulging in his pocket, left with a smile......
Geng Qiu regained his composure, although he was a woman, he also understood that the overall situation was important, and he was proud to have such a bloody son. The three women returned to their seats. When the three Sima brothers saw that the plague god was gone, Geng Qiu also smiled, not to mention how happy he was, and one of them drank it happily with a small jar of wine......
