The next morning, all the students got up to wash, still chirping, joy boundless, teacher Li who led the team had blurred eyes, looking like he hadn't woken up, and Tang Yan, who had cried at night and hadn't slept all night, and her eyes were red and swollen.

There are some programs in the morning, Xue Bin led the girl scouts to visit the Wusong Fort of the Navy, and the whole spring camp activity is over, the students and soldiers said goodbye and left the Wusong camp.

The military-civilian friendship activity ended successfully, and Chen Zikun was about to return to the city, when Xue Bin twisted and pinched, his expression looked like a cat that had eaten a canary.

"Dashuai, I'm going to get married, please call the shots." Xue Bin said.

"Oh, what a good thing, whose daughter?" Chen Zikun said with a smile.

"Teacher Li of the Chinese and Western Girls' School, we are in love and want to get married one day, please be a witness."

Chen Zikun suddenly understood what was going on last night, and pointed at Xue Bin and wanted to laugh at him, but thinking that it was not a glorious thing for him to eavesdrop on the root of the wall, he changed his words and said: "Okay, no problem, let's do it when the time comes." ”

Xue Bin's matter made Chen Zikun think of other brothers, now that the big thing has been accomplished, it is time to solve the personal problems of his subordinates, and the next time he returns to the provincial capital, each of them will arrange a young lady from a big family in the city.

Chen Zikun was worried about Yao Yilei, drove back to the city, passed through Zhabei, and couldn't help but think of what happened when he first arrived in Shanghai six years ago, and instructed the coachman: "Go to No. 73 Peikaier Road." ”

The car turned a corner and came to the old site of the Jingwuhui on Pei Kaier Road, as before, the gate was still closed, the iron lock was rusty, and looking through the crack in the door, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and there were cobwebs under the eaves, a depressed scene.

Chen Zikun closed his eyes, and there seemed to be the whirring wind and deafening roar of the disciples of the Jingwu Association practicing boxing, and countless scenes appeared in front of him, and the voices and smiles of Liu Zhensheng, Huo Dongge, Situ Xiaoyan, Ouyang Kai and others were vivid.

A long sigh, after all, the Jingwu Society has become history, it is said that five years ago they could not support it due to the exhaustion of funds, Huo Dongge took people to Southeast Asia to develop, Liu Zhensheng took some brothers to the north of Fengtian, and there was only one old site left in Shanghai.

Chen Zikun suddenly wanted to go in and remember, he looked around and saw that there was no one, took two steps back, and rubbed on the wall, startling the accompanying guard adjutants, and said that he only knew that the handsome man had good marksmanship, how could he still have the ability of a snitch.

Falling lightly in the courtyard, Chen Zikun lingered in the Jingwu Club for a long time, pulled weeds, picked out cobwebs, and wiped Huo Yuanjia's remains clean before leaving.

It's raining, the spring rain is dripping, washing the stone road, a man and a woman with an oil-paper umbrella, carrying luggage far away, walked to the gate of the Jingwu Society, the woman took out the key to open the lock, the iron lock was rusty, it couldn't be opened, the man said: "Little aunt, you let me." With that, with a single force of his hands, he broke the rusted chains.

The two entered the courtyard, sighed with emotion, found a broom and rag and began to clean, but they were surprised to find that the master's mourning hall had been cleaned, the frame of the posthumous mirror was spotless, and the cobwebs in the corner were gone.

"Uncle Nong must have been here." Situ Xiaoyan said that now she is a big girl in her twenties, and she has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and she has the demeanor of a child of the rivers and lakes in her gestures.

The man was Ouyang Kai, and he blurted out: "Little aunt, you are still a fool, if Uncle Nong had just come, the door lock would not have rusted to death, it was obvious that someone else had come." ”

"Dare you say I'm a fool." Situ Xiaoyan slapped his flying legs, and then wondered: "Then who could it be, actually climbed over the wall and came in to clean the master's mourning hall." ”

Ouyang Kai said: "Master has not many apprentices in Shanghai, but there are still a lot of apprentices and grandchildren, since this person has a mind, when we start the stove again, we might as well find him to do it together." ”

Situ Xiaoyan said: "Okay! ”

……

Chen Zikun's family temporarily borrowed an empty villa in Li Yaoting, which is located in a prosperous area of the public concession, which is quiet and convenient for shopping, and it is a place managed by foreigners. Public security and environmental sanitation are much stronger than those in Nanshi.

In the living room on the first floor, Yao Yilei sat on the recliner with her stomach and knitted a sweater for the baby who was about to be born, Chen Zikun was reading the newspaper with a pipe in his mouth, and suddenly threw the newspaper on the ground: "How can this be reasonable!" ”

Yao Yilei was startled and smashed the ball of yarn over: "Can you afford to scare the baby!" ”

Chen Zikun hurriedly made amends: "I didn't mean it, it's really annoying." ”

Yao Yileiqi said: "What is said in the newspaper, tell me." ”

Chen Zikun said: "The cotton yarn factories inside and outside Japan killed child laborers first, and fired all male workers for no reason, leaving only female workers, Shanghai workers are also united, 22 factories strike together, and elect a representative named Gu Zhenghong to negotiate, but the Japanese actually shot Gu Zhenghong to death. ”

Yao Yilei said angrily: "Why should the Japanese kill us Chinese. ”

Chen Zikun said: "The Japanese have always been barbaric, and it is not uncommon for people to kill people, but what is even more infuriating is that the workers complained to the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and the authorities actually favored the Japanese and arrested the appellant workers, and the Europeans and Americans, who have always been known for their democracy and fairness, are so reckless that they do not treat us Chinese as human beings. ”

Yao Yilei said: "Aren't you very familiar with the consul, hurry up and negotiate." ”

Without further ado, Chen Zikun immediately went to the Ministry of Industry Bureau to negotiate, and those public directors who talked and laughed with him on weekdays changed their colors at this moment, either shirking their responsibilities and saying that they were not their own duties, or using the laws and regulations of the concession to talk about things, saying conclusively that the workers disturbed social order and should be arrested, and advised Chen Zikun not to interfere with judicial fairness.

Chen Zikun was furious, if it weren't for his identity, I am afraid that he would have beaten people on the spot, without speculating for more than half a sentence, he turned his head and left, and returned home to find that Mu Yichen came with the profit and loss statement of the month, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and naturally mentioned the recent uproar about the shooting of a yarn factory worker by the Japanese.

Mu Yichen smiled faintly, this hot-blooded young man who participated in the student movement six years ago has become a steady gentleman.

"Senior, in our own eyes, we are a big country in China, with a thousand-year history of civilization, and other countries are barbarians; But do you know what Westerners think of us? It's just some uncivilized yellow-skinned monkeys, and monkeys have no human rights. Of course, there are exceptions, and that is Japan, which is also Asian, where does the dignity of the Japanese people come about? Defeated the Russians, bought with blood. ”

Chen Zikun thought deeply and sighed: "I don't understand that in the eyes of Westerners, China is synonymous with backwardness and ignorance; although I studied in the United States, am proficient in foreign languages, have been on the cover of Time Magazine, and am a commander who has mastered heavy troops, but in the eyes of those directors of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, I am just a monkey and a crown, and from the bottom of my bones they look down on Chinese and every Chinese." ”

Mu Yichen said: "The Chinese people are awakening, I heard that the major colleges and universities in Shanghai, various groups are preparing to demonstrate, St. John's classmates will also go, we will let Westerners know that Chinese cannot be bullied." ”

Chen Zikun said: "The students' enthusiasm is the hope of China, I am old, I will not participate in the parade, I will sponsor 1,000 yuan, buy bamboo poles and white cloth flags for the students, and make a big fuss." ”

Mu Yichen smiled: "I thank you for the younger students." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Speaking of senior sisters, what about my junior sister surnamed Che, isn't the relationship between the two of you very good, why don't you see anyone?" ”

Mu Yichen was gloomy for a while: "You are talking about Che Qiuling, her father is against us being together." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's very troublesome to have a father who hates the poor and loves the rich, but you can't be depressed, what are our current worth, even if you take the money to smash him, you have to smash him down, you can use the money in the foreign bank as you like, and buy his father's property, if you can't buy it, you will crush it, if you can't squeeze it, you will send a few brothers to make trouble, and you have to convince him if you say anything." ”

Mu Yichen couldn't cry or laugh, but after thinking about it, he really lacked initiative, now that the foreign business is on track, in and out of tens of millions of big deals, isn't the Che family asking for a golden beetle son-in-law, and now he has met the requirements.

……

Two days later, Chen Zikun was reading a book downstairs, when he suddenly heard the voices of outsiders, and the voice of Jianbing sounded upstairs: "Look, the students are on the street!" ”

Everyone ran to the balcony on the second floor to take a look, and the street in the distance was crowded, and countless students were holding signs and moving forward, and the scene was spectacular.

Yao Yilei stroked her big belly and sighed: "Six years ago on Chang'an Avenue, we watched the Beijing student parade together, and now in Shanghai, we watch the Shanghai student parade with our children, and the students are making more and more noise year by year." ”

Jian Bing said sourly: "Don't shoot and kill people indiscriminately this year, otherwise our big hero will be angry again." ”

Chen Zikun hugged the two and said with a smile: "Back then, I liked to join in the fun, but now I won't get involved in this kind of thing anymore." ”

Jian Bing was dissatisfied: "What, you look down on other students? People are patriotic, understand? ”

Chen Zikun said: "Of course I understand, and I support it, but my current status is hindered, I can't be with them, if I make any moves, I will directly send the army to the streets with guns and cannons, instead of a peaceful demonstration like them." ”

The two ladies laughed and hammered him: "You are majestic, aren't you, you are powerful." ”

The students on the street walked for a long time before they finished, Chen Zikun sighed with emotion, took the two ladies downstairs, and just sat down on the sofa, he heard a piercing gunshot!

"Oh no, it's the sound of the Leenfeld rifle, the patrol has fired!" Chen Zikun jumped up and ran upstairs, Yao Yilei also got up awkwardly, and Jian Bing hurriedly helped her: "Sister, you can take it easy, don't worry." ”

Chen Zikun ran to the balcony on the second floor, and saw the students running wildly on the street, slogans and banners were thrown to the ground, and gunshots rang out behind him.

Looking through the binoculars, there were patrols in the streets in the distance who were shooting people with rifles in their hands, and the young students fell to the ground in the flash of gunfire, bleeding for a long time.

Chen Zikun gritted his steel teeth and shouted: "Open the door, save the students, bring my gun!" ”
