Yang Shugen finally got his wish, approached the Chen family brothers and sisters with wisdom and humor, he became more mindless about his image, took out his savings to buy a few white shirts of the same style, and went to the factory barber shop to cut a fashionable head, shaved the sideburns on both sides, and looked energetic.

Happy days always pass very quickly, the summer vacation is coming to an end, Chen Yan is about to return to the provincial capital, Yang Shugen feels that he can't delay any longer, and he must confess before this.

After school that night, Yang Shugen sat under the lamp, spread out the manuscript paper and picked up the fountain pen, pondered for a while, wrote a love letter full of sincere emotions, and read it after writing, and he was moved by himself.

This love letter expresses the yearning and pursuit of pure love from the perspective of an orphan from a poor family.

Yang Shugen carefully folded the letter paper and put it in his shirt pocket, went back to the dormitory to sleep, and naturally tossed and turned that night, thinking a lot, whether the other party accepted or refused? Maybe I was moved by my true feelings, but her family will not accept me, after all, the disparity in identity is too great, I believe that Chen Yan is not a layman who values her family, she should break through the cage of the family......

Thinking about it, Yang Shugen fell asleep, got up the next day, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and came to the office wearing a vest, but his shirt was gone, and he couldn't find it everywhere, he was anxious, and he had love letters in his pocket, and it was not good to be seen.

Suddenly, Ma Chunhua came in with a humming soul cavity, holding a clay pot in her hand, and there were a bunch of clothes in it, including her own shirt.

"You washed my shirt!" The poplar roots are angry and decaying.

Ma Chunhua didn't know what was going on: "What's wrong, the neckline of your jade white coat is dirty, I'll wash it for you, you're welcome, we're a family." ”

Yang Shugen picked up his shirt from the basin, it had already been twisted into twist by Ma Chunhua, and there was a pile of pulp left in his pocket, which was his own hard work all night.

"Who is a family with you! Who told you to mess with my stuff! Get out! "Yang Shugen really lost his temper this time.

Ma Chunhua had a bigger temper, and endured two sentences at first, and then threw the clay pot on the ground: "Who is rare to be a family with you, I'll leave!" He turned around and left, leaving Poplar Root alone to sulk.

Ma Chunhua was furious, she was originally a warrior, and the enemy fought with real swords and guns, as refreshing as she wanted, she did underground work for the needs of the organization, when the little daughter-in-law didn't say it, she had to be angry, she really couldn't bear it, even if she violated discipline, she didn't hesitate to stay here, she had to leave immediately.

Packed her luggage indiscriminately, Ma Chunhua hurriedly walked out, turned a corner out of the factory door, a car was coming from the side, she was impatient and didn't notice the horn of the car, was hit by the car, and flew out on the spot.

The car stopped abruptly, Chen Yan got down from the co-pilot's seat, and hurriedly stepped forward to check Ma Chunhua's injury, it was Chen Bei's car, he was also dumbfounded, why didn't this person walk for a long time, and hit the front of the car.

Chen Yan helped her, Ma Chunhua was too heavy to help, and beckoned: "Come here, send to the hospital." ”

Chen Bei hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Ma Chunhua, he was burly, and walked in the direction of the car with his village aunt, at this time, Ma Chunhua, who was rough and thick-skinned, woke up and found himself snuggled in the arms of a strange man, and jumped violently: "Who are you, put me down." ”

As he spoke, he struggled out of Chen Bei's arms and walked away with a red face.

Chen Bei was dumbfounded, Chen Yan had just taken out the medicine box from the car, and was dumbfounded when she saw this scene.

Passers-by: "That's the machinery factory Teacher Yang's house, the girls are strong, it's okay." ”

Chen Beidao: "Which Teacher Yang?" ”

Passers-by: "Teacher Yang from the night school, the one who wears a white shirt all day long." ”

Chen Bei and Chen Yan glanced at each other, this village girl turned out to be Yang Shugen's daughter-in-law, why had she never heard him mention it.

After a while, Yang Shugen felt that he was a little impulsive, Ma Chunhua was also a good intention, and he said that he was a revolutionary comrade, a comrade-in-arms, how could he lose his temper at will, he regretted it, and hurriedly chased it out, and asked in the canteen, the worker said that he didn't know, and he saw it just now, so he went elsewhere to look for it, and finally inquired about the situation in the female workers' dormitory.

When he left, the car drove to the gate of the night school, Chen Bei and Chen Yan brothers and sisters got out of the car and went to the office to look for Yang Shugen, but they didn't see anyone, so they had to pick up the ready-made stationery on the table and write a message, see if there was an envelope, and envelope it again.

Yang Shugen chased the factory door, the traffic was busy, where to find, so I had to sigh and walk back slowly, and when I went to the office, there was a letter on the table, which said that Yang Shugen personally opened it, and the payment was Chen Yan.

His heart was pounding, his love letter was ruined, Chen Yan's love letter came to the table, this is really the endless road, think about it, it can be understood, like Chen Yan's rich lady, a playboy who doesn't learn and can't get into her eyes, that is, a poor student like herself is worthy of her love.

His hands trembled a little, he opened the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, took a deep breath and saw that there were only a few words on it.

To the effect that we have returned to the provincial capital and have a chance to see each other again, that's all.

This, strictly speaking, can't be considered a love letter.

……

At the same time, General Weidemeyer also concluded a two-month visit to China, and before leaving, he gave a speech denouncing the corruption of government officials and the ineffective procrastination of military and economic policies, saying that China's rejuvenation requires a new leader and thorough and extensive political and economic reforms, and that force cannot eliminate the clouds of communism.

Chiang Kai-shek was full of hope for Weidemeyer's visit to China, thinking that he could get a huge amount of dollar aid and a large amount of American-style weapons and equipment, so as to quickly defeat the *** army.

The chairman of the committee quickly responded, speaking at the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, saying that he would no longer pin his hopes on US aid and that he would try to improve relations with the Soviet Union.

Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, the Chen family came to see off Chen Yan, Yao Yilei cried like tears, saying that you must return to China earlier, Chen Yan said Mommy, I will come back after graduation, open a clinic in Beitai, specializing in treating the poor, Yao Yilei burst into tears and said with a smile, girl, you are so kind, you deserve to be Mommy's good daughter.

Xia Xiaoqing watched her son and Elizabeth Qingqing with a cold eye, and it was difficult to separate, while Miss Mary was expressionless and unnatural.

"Your son is with you, and he spends a lot." Xia Xiaoqing took his elbow and pounded Chen Zikun.

Chen Zikun quibbled: "What's the matter, Xiaobei's flower heart was learned from his uncle." ”

Xia Xiaoqing sneered: "Elizabeth, this girl is good, marry her as a daughter-in-law, you can justifiably associate with her mother, isn't it beautiful." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Xiaoqing, don't make up my jokes, Catherine and I are innocent." ”

Xia Xiaoqing snorted coldly, disdainful of exposing his lies.

Chen Yan, Mary, and Elizabeth left Shanghai on a US military transport plane and flew to Tokyo, Japan, where they transited for the United States via the Aleutian Islands.

It is said that during the war, Tokyo was carpet-bombed by the B29 group, and the whole city was turned into scorched earth, and it was not fully recovered after two years, but there were also many new houses rising from the ground, and the tenacity and diligence of the Japanese nation can be seen.

The United States has a large number of troops stationed in Japan, and American GIs can often be seen on the streets, and there is always a charming Japanese girl next to them, thinking that their father and brother must have died on the battlefield, otherwise how could they tolerate their own women becoming the playthings of enemy soldiers.

Just when Chen Yan and they were browsing the scenery of Tokyo, Takayoshi Hashimoto was limping down the street, there were people on the side of the road peddling American nutritious meals, and there were many people who bought them, and the former military police officer Hashimoto was now just a coolie, with only two change in his pocket, and when he saw the low price, he also stepped forward to buy a bowl, and devoured it, there were luncheon meat and rice cakes in the bowl, which was very fragrant, but he felt that something was wrong while eating, and slowly pulled out a plastic sleeve from his mouth, and suddenly became angry: "Baga! How can there be this thing in the pot! ”

It turned out that these foods were fished out of the swill buckets of the US military, and they were indiscriminately processed and sold to the Japanese people as a delicious meal, and many of the diners were former soldiers, and their self-esteem was very strong, so they immediately opened the rice stall and beat the boss and helpers violently, and the police quickly arrived and arrested the troublemakers.

Hashimoto sat in the prisoner car, holding the railing with his hand and looking at the indifferent faces of his compatriots outside, he suddenly thought of those days in China, when he was an occupation army and could show off his might, and now he finally tasted the taste of slavery in the country.

……

Beitai, Yang Shugen received a letter from Chen Yan from Shanghai, the letter said that I was going back to the United States to continue my studies, and I will come back later, let's go on a tour together, and it is best to bring your wife too, she is a very lovely person.

Yang Shugen's face changed, it's over, this Ma Chunhua has ruined his own big thing.

There was movement at the door, and when I turned around, it was Ma Chunhua who came back with a small burden, her face was ugly, probably criticized by the organization.

"Come in." Yang Shugen said, he was disheartened at the moment, and he was not so disgusted with Ma Chunhua.

The most important thing at the moment is to organize a mass strike as soon as possible, preferably to create a situation in which the United Machinery Company and the ironworks are paralyzed together, and to hasten the demise of the reactionary Kuomintang authorities.
