Chapter 4: Anger and Hatred

On the way home, I met a few young men who pulled bud rice poles to their house.

The bud rice pole is firewood, and it will be burned for a year.

Everyone worked together, and after a while, the bud pole was stomped.

After finishing the matter, Han's mother wanted to leave a few young men for lunch, but a few people ran away as soon as they drove the car.

Han Lihong's heart was warm.

It is not for nothing that Ranzhuang, and not other places, has achieved the feat of tunnel warfare.

After dinner, Han Lihong sat on the kang with his mother and sister and chatted.

Han Lihong said: "Mother, I took three days off, and I have to go back to school tomorrow." ”

Han's mother is reluctant, and her sister is even more reluctant. After being silent for a while, Han Mu said, "It's time to go back." ”

Han Lihong didn't know what to say, and after a while, Han's mother said, "Hong'er, your Aunt Liang told your sister about her family, do you think it's okay?" ”

Without hesitation, Han Lihong: "Mother, push it, no." After a pause, he said: "My sister still has to go to school, and she can't marry before the age of twenty, let alone get married." ”

Han's mother was stunned, and her sister lowered her head.

The Han family can provide education for their two sons, and they have exhausted all their abilities, or they will not return to their parents' old house.

The mouth is fast, what are you talking about? Raising his hand and rubbing his sister's little head, Han Lihong: "Mother, I will graduate from middle school in one year......"

Before Han Lihong finished speaking, Han Mu's face sank.

Han Lihong hurriedly changed his words and said, "There is also a big brother, won't you graduate in a year?" ”

Han Mu sighed.

Han Lihong couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

When the eldest brother graduates, the first thing is for him to go to college, and when he has spare energy, it can be his sister's turn. This kind of thing, even if he is humble as an elder brother, not to mention his mother, even his younger sister will never agree.

Han Lihong found that his mouth was really stupid, that is, he didn't know how to comfort his mother or his sister.

Early the next morning, Han Lihong said goodbye to his mother and sister and went back to school.

He attended Hebei No. 6 Middle School in Baoding.

Ranzhuang is sixty miles southwest of Baoding, Han Lihong went home from Baoding, and from home back to Baoding, the only means of transportation is his own feet.

Sixty miles, he had to walk for seven or eight hours.

Out of the village, Han Lihong quickened his pace.

He is very satisfied with the body of "Han Lihong", his limbs are well-proportioned, very strong, and very strong, but the difference is only the lack of systematic exercise.

As for his appearance, Han Lihong didn't care, he didn't dare to be interested in it at all, and he never had the idea of seeing what he looked like.

Along the way, Han Lihong didn't go fast, but always at a speed. Therefore, although I didn't look fast, I still arrived at the county seat two hours ahead of schedule.

About five hours later, Baoding was already in sight.

Before liberation, almost all the ancient city walls were there, and Baoding was the same. After the liberation, the walls were pushed up, but a few sections were still preserved.

The walls of Baoding are more than 10 meters high, and although they look mottled and dilapidated, they are still strong.

A hundred meters away from the South City Gate, Han Lihong stopped and raised his eyes to look at the ancient city in front of him.

The ancient city wall in his memory from the previous life and the ancient city wall in front of him slowly merged, and a faint melancholy welled up in Han Lihong's heart, but soon, this emotion was swept away, and the blood in his whole body began to stir.

Here, it will be him, the starting point of the heroic Baoding people who shocked the world!

After being excited for a while, Han Lihong let go of his clenched fists and walked towards the city gate.

The city is lively, or more accurately, chaotic and turbulent.

Beiping, Tianjin and Shijiazhuang are the three important towns in Hebei Province, which form a large triangle, and Baoding is in the center of this triangle hinterland.

As the heart of the three major towns, the geographical location of Baoding is extremely important, and Baoding is the throat fortress of the Pinghan line, the main artery of the north and south.

Pingjin is a gathering place for dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, so the rent of some houses is very expensive, which makes many civil and military officials in Pingjin a little unaffordable.

Baoding is 360 miles away from Beiping, and it only takes more than four hours to travel by train, so most of these officials live in Baoding.

All this, although Baoding is not as prosperous as the two important towns of Beiping and Tianjin, the whole city is also prosperous in business and densely populated.

After the 918 Incident, many northeasterners poured into the city. Almost all of these people from the Northeast who escaped were rich, and their arrival made the already prosperous Baoding even more prosperous.

In addition, just over a month after the September 18 Incident, the tide of protests against the surrender of the three eastern provinces by the national political axe is surging.

In the memory of "Han Lihong", what moved Han Lihong the most was the scene when the news of the 918 incident came, whether it was the teacher or the students, the whole class cried, and the whole school cried.

Subsequently, classes were no longer attended, and students went to the streets and the countryside to the countryside, awakening the people to resist foreign humiliation, rise up to resist the war, and never be slaves of the country!

Every time he thought of this scene, Han Lihong's blood boiled, his ambition was fierce, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and roar.

The parade was carried out not only by university students, junior high school students, but also by elementary school students. Looking at that face full of childlike fun, Han Lihong regretted in his heart, and his chest was filled with hatred.

In the streets, the students not only marched, but also organized pickets to crack down on unscrupulous businessmen who bought goods.

People are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and everywhere is the same, all have bad friends, and so do businessmen.

The day after the news of the September 18 Incident came, a printing company called Tianhua immediately published a notice in the newspaper: "It is said that this book is raging and invading our eastern province, and it is a little fleshy and not painful. ”

The Baoding Chamber of Commerce held a meeting on October 3 and decided to notify all shops that until the 10th of this month, all the goods stored in the stores would be sealed, and if there were any deliberate concealment or attempts to sell privately, once found, they would be confiscated and burned.

However, there are also a small number of businessmen who ignore the decision of the anti-Japanese association and still buy goods privately; Regardless of the decision of the Chamber of Commerce, the goods were sealed on the surface, but they were secretly unsealed, or transferred mortgages, or changed their appearance, and sold them as domestic goods.

It was these unscrupulous businessmen that the pickets were looking for.

When they arrived at the school, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic, with the students writing slogans and slogans, rehearsing the anti-speech program, and discussing the discussion......

Walking to the center of the field, Han Lihong stopped, his fists clenched, as if he was about to crush his entire palm.

He's angry!

He hates!

Such a scene will soon disappear, because, the repression of the national axe will soon begin.
