Chapter Ninety-Five: Retribution in the Next Life

"Daddy!" saw that the tall Zhang Yuping did not speak, and shouted Dad first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhang Shuting saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked, but he still said in a calm tone:

"What's wrong, Ping'er, get up and talk!"

After that, seeing that Zhang Yuping was still kneeling, he waited for a while, and couldn't help urging:

"Tell Ping'er, what's going on?!"

"It's nothing, but now the people from the Baoding Police Department are arresting me, and I'm afraid I'll have to leave for a while, maybe a year or two, maybe longer, in order to avoid the entanglement of the police." Seeing Zhang Shuting urging him, he saw Zhang Yuping hesitate for a moment, and then he said, "Let's go, I gave Zhang Shuting a snort again, and then said, "It's just that if you go, you can't do your filial piety for your father, and I hope your father will take care of yourself!" ”

"Why did the police arrest you for no reason?" Hearing Zhang Yuping's words, Zhang Shuting couldn't help but be anxious, and in a hurry, he almost got up from the chair.

Zhang Yuping briefly explained the general course of the matter. However, it turned out that in order to show solidarity with the shooting and killing of Chinese worker Gu Zhenghong by a Japanese businessman in Shanghai a few days ago, the students of the Second Normal School first went on strike and took to the streets to hold anti-Japanese demonstrations.

As one of the organizers and leaders of this event, Zhang Yuping not only marched and demonstrated with the students, but also led the students of the Ministry and Public Government to distribute leaflets and give speeches at the gates of schools, factories and mines, and streets, calling on the students and businessmen of the whole city to strike and suspend the market in solidarity with the anti-imperialist patriotic movement that had been vigorously launched in Shanghai.

However, early the next morning, when the students of the Second Division began to strike and march on the streets to distribute leaflets, and Zhang Yuping led some students to give speeches everywhere, the police surrounded the school and forced the students not to leave the school gate and immediately resume classes. For a time, there was a clash with the police at the school gate, and more than a dozen students were injured.

The actions of the teachers and students of the Second Division attracted the support of more patriotic students and patriotic masses in the schools, first some schools went on strike to join their demonstrations, and then some factory workers began to strike in solidarity with their actions.

For a time, the Baoding authorities were also in a hurry to jump over the wall, and even secretly arrested the so-called "teachers and students of the second division who instigated trouble" that night. Zhang Yuping was one of the targets of secret arrest.

"Fortunately, we got the news in advance and hid early, otherwise I am afraid that we will not even be able to see my father's face now!" After speaking, Zhang Yuping smiled helplessly.

In fact, even if Zhang Yuping didn't say it, Zhang Shuting had already learned about the "trouble" of middle school students in Baoding from the old grandson who was sent back from Baoding two days ago, and he was also clear about the root cause of the "trouble". To say that from Zhang Shuting's heart, he is not against students doing this.

Or, although he may be unfamiliar with the word "patriotic", he would not hesitate to stand up and say a few words of justice when he heard that an unarmed Chinese worker had been shot dead by a foreigner. Of course, if he had to say that the market was closed, he would not hesitate to let his pot and his shop close first.

What is called character, this is probably called character. It's just that he doesn't know that there is his adopted son among the people who "make trouble", and he is also an organizer.

Not only is this not clear. Zhang Shuting is not entirely aware that his adopted son has actually begun to be influenced by progressive ideas as early as after he was admitted to the Second Normal School of Zhili. Not only was he influenced by progressive ideas, but later he also took the initiative to study progressive books and periodicals and actively accepted Marxist-Leninist ideas. Today, he has grown into a staunch believer and promoter of the communist movement.

However, for his adopted son, it would be a lie to say that he didn't notice anything at all. It should be said that a few years after he came to their Zhang family, Zhang Shuting had already seen that this child was a little different from other children. The difference is also different, not only is he smart and studious, he reads well, but he is also sensible and reasonable, and at a young age, he understands many truths that are difficult for adults to figure out.

I remember that year, Governor Gu listened to Lian Qi's idea to increase the business surcharge, and he sat in the Xiamen for a long time, but he couldn't think of a clue how to deal with them next. Zhang Yuping, who came home from school later, saw that he didn't even eat dinner when he sat in the building, so he came to him and asked him why he was worried.

At that time, Zhang Yuping was still young, and it was said that the troubles of adults should not be told to a child, but looking at his sensible face, he was also full of worries, and no one could talk about it. For a while, I told him about the troubles in my heart.

According to Zhang Shuting's meaning, that is to say, or rather, if he says it, he will say it, nothing more than saying it, and it will also make him feel better, and he doesn't expect a child's family to give him a word or two. But I never expected that after Zhang Yuping heard it, she said angrily:

"A faint official like this who doesn't care about the lives of the people, only by rising up to rebel against him can it be possible to stop him from coming nonsense, and I am afraid there is no better way to do anything else."

"Rebellion?" When Zhang Shuting heard this, he was stunned and said: "-- That's going to kill your head!" ”

After that, he said thoughtfully:

"Besides, how can you oppose him?"

This sentence should be completely subconscious for Zhang Shuting.

"Unite everyone to fight together, everyone is angry, and he can't kill if he wants to!"

It should be said that it was precisely with Zhang Yuping's last sentence that he suddenly thought of visiting Liu Ranzi at night, and then uniting the owners of the shops along the street to close the market together, and finally forcing Governor Gu to compromise.

It is precisely because of this that it is not entirely because of this. The key is that since Zhang Yuping stayed in school and became a teacher, every time she came home, the father and son talked to each other, and they talked more about not the things of the pot, nor the things of the family, but the society, and all kinds of unreasonable and dark things in the society.

Of course, Zhang Yuping is the main one who speaks, and Zhang Shuting is mainly listening. But in his feeling, every word Zhang Yuping said was what he wanted to say.

Therefore, at this time, when he heard that Zhang Yuping was running away from home because of such a thing, Zhang Shuting was not surprised and strange, and for a while, he thought about it again:

"In my opinion, even if they want to arrest you, they don't necessarily have to go. You're hiding in our pot, and Dad can guarantee that they won't catch you. -- I really can't do it, my father will send them some money, and I'm afraid the matter will be over. ”

Again:

"In addition, it's good to take advantage of your lack of teaching, and let your father ask someone to give you a daughter-in-law. You're so old, it's time to start a family. ”

After that, he said:

"Just listen to my father, don't go anywhere, since Mr. Zhang resigned from old age, there has been no good tent in the front yard, and when the wind passes, you will manage the tent in the front yard, and then ...... in the future."

"Dad, I have made an appointment with others, we will meet on the north bank of the Caohe Stone Bridge before dawn, and then leave together." Zhang Yuping didn't wait for Zhang Shuting to finish speaking, and then spoke again.

After that, it seems that there are still a thousand words to say, but after a pause, he only said:

"If you can't repay your father's nurturing kindness in this life, I'm afraid you will have to wait for the next life to repay it!"
