Twenty-two: You are the one who picks the beams

Wang Mingming's family sent someone to pick her up. The yellow cat asked her, "Is there something going on at home?" Wang Mingming knew in her heart, she didn't want the yellow cat to know. She shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

When Wang Mingming returned home, her mother said to her happily: "Daughter, everything is ready, and the date is decided." Just wait for you to come back and get married. ”

Wang Mingming pouted and said, "Mom, what are you talking about, there is a war, and such a big thing happens in the country, why should I get married." Tell them about the postponement of the marriage.

"Mom, I want to wait until the war is over, do you see it? What I promised will never change. Rest assured. ”

The mother said proudly: "Don't say stupid things, it's not that my mother is not in a hurry if it is not a war." The battle is big, and your big girl is at home, so my mother is not at ease.

"We old ladies are usually too busy with our own family affairs, and we will never ask about the country's affairs again. Now that there is a war, we also prick up our ears to listen.

"When everyone arrived, they no longer talked about the short talk of Zhang's family. Let's talk about some of the things that went to war. The matter of the state. You can speak energetically.

"Xiao said that he was originally outside the Guan, but now he is fighting inside the Guan, although this battle is far away in Beiping, it is difficult to say where the war will burn! You haven't heard that Lao Jiang is in a hurry. ”

Wang Mingming asked: "Old Jiang! Who is Lao Jiang? ”

The mother was surprised and said, "What? You don't know! The common people who don't know Lao Jiang is the chairman of the committee. Isn't he surnamed Jiang? Mom can't be wrong.

"The common people will not call him Chairman all day long, call him Lao Jiang convenient, easy to shout, everyone can understand. I see, you students are stupid at reading all day long, and you don't even know this.

"If Lao Jiang had been in command a few years earlier, the warlords would have surrendered to him without fighting. China's millions of troops will consciously be commanded by him.

"Xiao Yueben didn't dare to be so rampant, 918 would not happen in 31 year, and the three eastern provinces would not be lost. The great powers will also feel that the Republic of China is not the former Qing Dynasty, and they will not dare to act rashly.

"China is backward or poor, there is an old saying in China called poor and ruthless, people are not afraid of poverty, but to be ruthless, that is, to have ambition and backbone. If you are ruthless, others will be afraid of you. The same is true between countries and countries.

"Lao Jiang is ruthless to the common people in China and weak to foreign devils. Whether it is an Oriental devil or a Western soldier, he is inferior and does not dare to provoke.

"Xiao Yue just saw that he was weak, so they had to inch in and bent on dying in China. As a result, it was the common people who were unlucky.

"The common people see that the war is still to come. It is said that Xiao Yue must fight Nanjing. Didn't British warships go to Yanziji in the former Qing Dynasty?

"During the Opium War, Western soldiers came to Nanjing, signed a treaty, and left. He wanted money, and he was selling opium in China.

"This time the Oriental troops are coming to destroy China. It was said that the army was too far from the north and very close from Shanghai.

Lao Jiang also saw that it was a matter of time before his army attacked Nanjing. It is said that the army is desperately advancing in the north, and Lao Chiang's troops in the north are very tight and almost out of breath.

"Lao Jiang's troops on his side did not move, just to prevent his army from coming from Shanghai to fight Nanjing. It is best if he can block it in Shanghai, and if he can't block Nanjing, there will be no salvation.

"The common people are not Lao Jiang's chief of staff, and the staff officers don't fart and don't make a sound. The common people are guessing one by one.

"The common people have never guessed wrong. Many families are preparing to leave. Some families have left, some have gone to Jiangxi, and some have gone to Hubei. ”

Wang Mingming said: "Mom, don't talk nonsense, okay, what hit Shanghai, what Nanjing can't keep, beware of others putting your bad water." Say that you create chaos and destroy the resistance. ”

The mother said, "Why are you so afraid of things, child? Everyone can see very clearly that the common people are actively resisting, and good men are vying to be soldiers to go to the front line to fight the Kou.

"Nowadays, it is more difficult for young people to find things to do than to climb to the sky, and the factory does not have so many people, and they can only make a living if they learn a craft.

"When the national crisis is at the head, a man should stand up and defend the country. Either the horse leather shroud died as it deserved, or the meritorious service was knighted and the ancestors were glorified.

"Everyone knows that it is not the common people who sabotage the protests, but the common people who resolutely resist the protests, and those who march and petition to be soldiers on the front line are the common people.

"There is a person who destroys the resistance, he is Lao Jiang himself. Haven't you heard that Yan'an is now uniting Lao Jiang to resist and save the country, and Lao Jiang put forward this condition and that condition.

The common people could see at a glance that he wanted to eat people on this opportunity. When did he not resist well, he still wanted to fight a civil war.

"Think about it, what conditions are required for resistance, and what is the name of resistance when there are conditions. I think that he entered the Yangtze River and threatened Nanjing, and he had no conditions.

"Mom's son is still too young to go to the front line. You have grown up, you are a daughter, and it is better for a girl to have a husband in the chaotic years.

"You're a different person now. I don't count if you can't go to the front, I want your mother-in-law in the city to nod. She has the final say. I have to listen to her. ”

Wang Mingming was puzzled and said, "I really don't know what kind of logic my mother said this." Now it is the Republic of China, and girls serve the country in the army like girls. My homeroom teacher and my classmates, they ......"

She saw that her mother didn't listen to her at all, and she knew that her mother was bent on marrying her off early, so she didn't fight.

For the sake of her father and this family, she can only sacrifice her future. She knew she would have to go on her own in the future.

The mother said, "Go and see your grandmother, and your father and I told her about the mortgage contract and you." We are prepared to be scolded.

"I didn't expect your grandmother to scold us, you can go. Listen to what your grandma has to say. ”

Wang Mingming said hello when he saw his grandmother. Grandma said, "My granddaughter is back." Sit down. Your parents have already told me about you.

"Grandma has seen since she was a child that you are the one who takes the lead, and you helped him level the hurdle that your father couldn't pass. When you help your father, you help the whole family.

"What a credit. Grandma, thank you. You went to that family's house to be the third aunt, and grandma showed you, it was not an ordinary third aunt.

"You went not only to enjoy Qingfu, but your position in his house is a pivotal position. You are the one who will soon be in power.

"What grandma wants to explain to you is that in the future, don't rely on the power of your mother-in-law and men to bully your eldest aunt and second aunt. Do not be domineering in front of your subordinates.

"There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. You have to understand the truth. Do not make a mistake at any time. The more powerful you are, the more low-key you have to be. You must remember grandma's confession. ”

Wang Mingming didn't fully understand his grandmother's words. She couldn't see that deeply, and she couldn't see that thoroughly. But she was determined to remember her grandmother's words. She knew that there was a deep truth in her grandmother's words.

Wang Mingming married into that man's family and learned that his father was a military general in the former Qing capital. The Eight-Nation Coalition was killed on the battlefield when it fought Yanjing.

The man's mother took him to Nanjing to escape the war. Since then, he has settled in Nanjing and opened a silk village.

Their whole family is proud of their father's reputation and hates foreign devils very much. When the man was twenty years old, his mother asked him to take over the silk estate and run the cloud brocade and silk business.

After he took over the Silk Village, he changed the name of the Silk Village to Jinling Silk Bank, and his mother was the chairman of the board of directors and he was the general manager.

People look at him as a nerd, and they all think that he is not qualified to be the general manager, just such a general manager, in terms of his ability, the business of the silk village will lose in his hands sooner or later.

But it was unexpected. This person who looks like a second nerd guards the foreign bank every day to do business, and goes to run relationships when he is free.

Jinling Silk Bank quietly developed in his hands. People were surprised and then changed their tunes to say that he was stupid and blessed.

On the day Wang Mingming got married, her mother repeatedly told her: "Child, everyone has done everything you have requested." Your father has nothing more to say but nods in agreement.

"It's time for you to take care of yourself. Marriage with peace of mind. ”
