After dinner, Ma Sudan stared at the little girl for a while to review her homework, and then sent a plate of fruit to the study, before picking up the banana fan as usual and sitting in the yard to help him catch mosquitoes while accompanying her husband.

The Xidi woman married early, and she was only seventeen years old when she entered the Wu family.

Continuation is not small, whether in the house or outside the house, Mrs. Wu, pampered, people are already beautiful, her daughter is sixteen, she is still radiant, she looks at most twenty-six or seventeen years old. Mother and daughter go shopping, and many people mistake them for sisters.

Li Guanyun looked sideways at his wife, took her hand and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at, so happy." ”

Ma Sudan leaned into his ear with a smile and said proudly: "Guanyun, do you know what Weimin called me just now?" I didn't call my aunt, he called me mom, and called me mom like Qingqing! ”

The six-year-old child knows a lot of things, and when she entered the door, her son never called her "Mommy", and at first he was even a little repulsive, and he didn't talk much for a long time, until he was a teenager and called her "auntie".

Li Guanyun showed an incredulous look on his face, and asked suspiciously: "Really?" ”

"It's really screaming, and when you come out, you remind me to be careful, for fear that I will trip over the threshold."

The son is both bright and sensible, the daughter is cute and smart, the wife is beautiful and virtuous, the real family and everything is prosperous, Li Guanyun is very pleased, patted her hand and smiled: "Su Dan, you have grown up for the people!" ”

The daughter is always going to get married, and in the future, she will not only expect her son to retire for the elderly, but also expect her son to put the tablet in the Li family ancestral hall and write his name into the Li family tree, so that his son can really accept it, Ma Sudan has never been so happy as today, snuggled on her husband's shoulder and sighed: "Yes, it's like a different person." ”

"The eighteen changes in women's colleges, and the same will change in men's colleges. If there is no change at all, and I am still like an ignorant child, how can I trust him to hand over the family business? ”

"That's right."

While the two were chatting, the old maid Chen's mother walked over quickly, lifted the boiling water bottle and said with a smile: "Master, madam, there are a group of students outside, who are those children playing in the water in the Chinese River, saying that they want to thank them in person." Mr. Liu asked Jiachang to take them over, and he didn't know if he could sit down in the study. ”

Doing business depends on credibility, and if a wealthy businessman like the Li family wants to gain a foothold in Xidi, he must not only have credibility, but also prestige.

Lose in hake, but gain in herring.

Li Guanyun suddenly found that his son's loss a few days ago was not in vain, he not only learned a lesson, but also inadvertently broke out of the reputation of courage and responsibility, and couldn't help laughing: "Mother Wu, the child is also a guest, go prepare some supper." Tell Ah Cheng again and ask him to call a big car from the transport team, it's so late, it's so chaotic outside, and the children can't be allowed to walk back. ”

"Sir, you have a good heart, I'll go now."

The study room was crowded with sixteen or seventeen-year-old children, and Liu Jiachang was busy for a long time before finding a chair for each of them. The gifts they brought with them, such as fruits and canned food, really couldn't be put down, so they had to leave them outside.

Among them are "comrades-in-arms" who have "fought side by side" together, and some have taken this opportunity to meet the non-comrades-in-arms of the "big heroes". You said a word to me, rushed to thank you, and were filled with indignation to denounce the "Seven Distances", and the atmosphere was very warm.

"Mr. Li, Qiyuan is ruthless and evil-doer, and the government of Baoda turns a blind eye, even if there is still a royal law?"

"Baoda is a puppet, and the French can only be blamed."

One student gritted his teeth and said: "The Viet Minh besieged Dien Bien Phu, and it is said that the fighting was very bad, and the wounded soldiers were transported to Saigon one by one, and their good days have come to an end." As the old saying goes, it's not that you don't report it, it's that the time hasn't come. ”

Children are the future, and students are an important force in various sports.

They dare to think, dare to do, and dare to fight, unlike those whose edges and corners have been smoothed out and whose spirit has even been numb, who only know how to protect themselves.

In the plan, they are all objects that need to be fought for, and the five gangs of wealthy businessmen, including the "father" Li Guanyun, can only use interests to unite and win over. Because they value family interests and economic interests above anything else, expecting them to go to the bloody battlefield is tantamount to a fool's dream.

While beckoning the students to eat fruit, Li Weimin asked the children who had just spoken: "What is your name and which middle school do you study in?" ”

"My name is Ah Shui, and I am in the third year of junior high school in Zhiyong Middle School."

One child couldn't help but add: "Mr. Li, his family opened a Western book factory (writing book), and you may have used it when you were studying at Ngee Ann Middle School." ”

"I have used it, it seems that there is only one Xidi, there is no competition, and the business should be good."

Ah Shui smiled embarrassedly: "The West Book is thin, which makes Mr. Li smile." ”

"Ah Shui, don't be presumptuous, in my opinion, your family is very visionary, and the business is very successful, otherwise you will never occupy more than ninety percent of the Xidi market, and make your own brand, and make a well-known time-honored brand."

One bold student quipped, "yes, I can't do it without taking care of his family's business now, otherwise I won't be able to hand in my homework to the teacher." ”

Everyone immediately burst into laughter, making Ah Shui very embarrassed.

Li Weimin nodded slightly, and said meaningfully: "Students, just like Ah Shui said just now, the French colonial rule in Indochina is coming to an end, and the Franco-Vietnamese government is likely to collapse. But this is not necessarily a good thing for us Chinese.

Because what we have now has a lot to do with the policy adopted by the French as an economic protectorate and a monopoly on the exploitation of the natural resources of Indochina. In Viet Minh, in the minds of most Vietnamese, we are stealing their economic benefits, and we are profiteers. ”

Under the Franco-Vietnamese regime, only a small number of Vietnamese, Chinese, and some city dwellers benefited. Suffering from poverty but inequality, most Vietnamese people have a bad view of the Chinese.

Ah Shui was stunned, and the other children looked at each other.

Looking at their childish faces, Li Weimin said solemnly: "Students, what happened a few days ago reminded me of many things. On October 9, 1740, because the overseas Chinese in Indonesia were too capable and the population was growing too fast, endangering the economic interests of the Dutch and the Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia, the Dutch East India Company ordered the overseas Chinese in the city to hand over all sharp weapons in the name of searching for arms.

The massacre lasted for seven whole days, during which nearly 10,000 overseas Chinese were killed in the city, only 150 escaped, 60 to 700 houses were burned and looted, and the property losses were incalculable. Overseas Chinese outside the city fought fiercely with the Dutch army under the command of an overseas Chinese leader, suffering more than 1,000 casualties, and then moved to Central Java, where the struggle continued until 1743...... Known as the 'Red Creek Massacre'! ”

The Hongxi tragedy, the anti-Chinese riots in Seattle, the anti-Chinese riots in Australia, and the massacre of Chinese businessmen in Torreón, Mexico, one after another, Li Weimin kept talking about the Wanbaoshan incident in North Korea and South Korea, and said that even the son of a wealthy businessman like him could not guarantee the safety of his life, and he said that the students were terrified.

"Why do we have money and no status?"

He asked rhetorically, and continued: "When an ethnic group is discriminated against for a long time, the first thing to do is not to complain, but to reflect on itself. I believe that the political status of a country and a group of people is directly proportional to the social responsibilities it undertakes. However, those of us do have a serious lack of political character, and generally speaking, we are unwilling to take the initiative to assume social responsibility.

The initiative to do major things in the public sphere is too weak, unwilling to 'meddle in affairs', dare not take the initiative to 'take the lead', is a long-term 'wise self-preservation', unwilling to participate in the military to the political field, and only happy to be in his own mansion. The natives will not look down on you because you don't want to be nosy, but will despise you for being cowardly and selfish. When they think you're just a profiteer stealing their financial benefits, then tragedy is likely to happen. ”

He said that this is a common problem of the Nanyang Chinese, and a senior student thought it was true, and couldn't help but get up and say: "Ladies and gentlemen, what Mr. Li said is very true, Jews who are also rich in the world are worthy of our mirror. The reason why they have won a relatively high status in the world is not only because they can make money, but more importantly, because they have thoughts, actions, and a sense of responsibility, and they actively participate in various political activities and assume various responsibilities in various countries, so they have all kinds of rights and dignity. ”

One student cautiously reminded: "But we are overseas Chinese, not Vietnamese." ”

"It doesn't matter who we are, it's where we are. I think Mr. Lee has a point, we should be united, we should take some responsibility, we should do something, because our situation is too dangerous. ”

A short student asked with a puzzled look, "Dangerous?" ”

"Ah Jun, do you know how those Vietnamese propagandize, they say that the Chinese have ruled Vietnam for more than a thousand years, the French have ruled Vietnam for 70 years, now is the time for them to be independent, if they are independent, can they be good to us?"

Students' minds are very active, and as soon as they start, they will naturally think in that direction.

The most radical thinkers in the senior year said worriedly: "The idea of only wanting to enjoy rights and not being willing to take responsibility is short-sighted, even stupid, because such a person cannot control his own destiny no matter how rich he is." ”

One student chimed in: "The evasion of responsibility is the tacit waiver of rights. If we want to stand up completely and win our rights, we must break the old tradition of self-preservation. ”

Guidance should be gradual and not rushed.

It was not early, Li Weimin got up and beckoned the students to have supper, and concluded: "Students, as Ah Ming said, a group of rich people who have closed themselves out of society, politics, and the military can only repeat the fate of duckweed in the long river of history. It's too late today, so I won't say much, I just want to encourage you a passage in Mr. Liang Qichao's "Juvenile China Says": Today's responsibility is not for others, but for my youth. ”

The traditional education in the secondary schools of the West Tip has proved to be very successful.

Before he finished speaking, the students recited together impassionedly: "If the youth is wise, the country will be rich, if the youth is strong, if the youth is strong, if the youth is independent, if the youth is free, if the youth is free, if the youth is progressive, if the youth is better than Europe, if the youth is better than Europe, if the youth is stronger than the earth, the country will be stronger than the earth......"
