There are no longer slaves and real subordinates in China, Chen Ma, Lao Wang and other subordinates of the Lin Mansion, such as kitchens, gardeners, etc., should be called the employment of the Lin family. They are like domestic workers in the 21st century, but they are working in a certain company for a long time.

It's just that the power of tradition is enormous. As long as there is no mistake in employing oneself, or there is no change in the family, and there is no change in the main family, many people have been working as servants in a family for ten or twenty years or even a lifetime. And rich and noble people always like to use some old people who are familiar with each other.

When I was young, I was in the inner courtyard and outer hall, if I didn't hook up with the old masters and young masters to become my aunt's wife, when I was older, I would be in the kitchen or a higher level of the maid - my mother got in, this Chen Ma is an example, she has been in the Lin family for twenty-one years, and her position has changed from a little maid at the beginning to the current 'big inner manager', and she is completely a housekeeper!

Chen's mother casually pointed to another person in the room, "Xiao Li, go and tell Lao Wang." He hurriedly followed Lin Weiming outside with a series of small steps, and shouted anxiously as he walked: "Oh, my little ancestor, the things outside are not clean and unhygienic, what if I get sick?" When the time comes, the old lady will blame me again, so let the old man deliver the food to the school. ‘

"I asked the kitchen to prepare a table for the young master?"

"Where do you get so much attention? If you really get sick so easily, there won't be anyone in the restaurant. Don't worry, Mom Chen, my dad won't say anything about you. I'm leaving! Lin Weiming turned around the shadow wall and disappeared behind the courtyard gate, and the voice still echoed in Chen's mother's ears.

When it was earlier than Lin Weiming's school, Guo Feng rode his bicycle out of the house.

At seven o'clock, the sun had turned into a dazzling golden disk. The morning fog has disappeared, and the sun shines warmly on people. There are also some people's cooking smoke rising along the way. There are a lot of breakfast stalls in Suzhou City, and some people will directly give money to let their children buy food outside in the morning. If the adults in the family don't go to work on time, they will sleep a little longer.

Pedestrians poured out of the alleys of the city, bustling people towards their destinations. Car bells are ringing, horns are blaring, countless bicycles are shuttling around the cars, and every now and then cars are speeding through the roadway.

Guo Feng was riding a car with his head covered and rushing to school, when a series of crisp car bells rang behind him.

"Hey! Guo Zi. …… What's going on today? listless. ”

"Zhang Xiao? Why is it so early today?? Guo Feng turned his head and saw Zhang Xiao behind him, riding the car with a smile on his face, and Guo Feng, who was in a bad mood, barely squeezed out a smile towards Zhang Xiao.

Guo Feng is the same classmate as Zhang Xiao in the second high school of Gusu, and there is also the eldest young master of the Lin family. In the whole Suzhou province. Gusu No. 2 High School is also one of the few first-class senior high schools, and about 15 percent of the students in the college entrance examination can be admitted to colleges and technical colleges all over the country every year. It is definitely a great thing that Gusu No. 2 High School can have such a high percentage.

Guo Feng and Zhang Xiao, who are from ordinary families, were admitted to this high school through their own efforts. And Guo Feng's sister Guo Yan went to Suzhou No. 1 High School, which is a key middle school in the province one level higher than Gusu No. 2 High School, and Gusu No. 2 High School can only be said to be a key high school in Suzhou. And Lin Weiming is a high-priced student who came in with tuition assistance, and his father wanted him to go to Suzhou First High School, but other schools did not charge tuition at all.

But it's different from Guo Feng. Guo Feng's grades have always been very good, but Zhang Xiao's grades plummeted after the first semester of high school, and now he has fallen to the stage of being in the 40s in the class, and the second high school class is only about 50 students.

Chinese, Mathematics, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology. In the main and minor courses, he can hang half of the red lanterns in six subjects. There is no need to say that the grades are bad.

But Zhang Xiao is very good at sports, physically strong and beneficial, and is a sports star in their entire school. If you report to the Sports Institute. Zhang Xiao doesn't look at the poor grades, the success rate of the entrance exam is among the best in the entire class.

"Early, what's early? It's too early to be too early, but the family next to my house is blowing up strange brains [Suzhou dialect. Idiot]. A group of people who can't figure out the situation and are not smart, the old lady is still lying in the hospital. They themselves came out with dog brains first. They are all green-bellied and unfilial people [people who take care of themselves and have no filial piety], and they also disturb Lao Tzu to sleep. Zhang Xiao was full of disdain when he talked about his neighbors. It can be seen that the smile on Guo Feng's face is better than crying, and he can't see there, Zhang Xiao asked with concern: "It's you, how is this pulling, like a defeated rooster, why are you depressed?" ”

Guo Feng lowered his head and kicked up a small pebble on the ground in front of him hard, and the gray pebble drew a parabola in the air, fell to the ground, and rolled a few times. Staring at the direction where the pebble disappeared, Guo Feng said weakly: "It's nothing ......" His depression at this time was not because of the water cup, but because he remembered the danger of his sister going to the battlefield, and it was more like thinking more about taking the photos taken by his sister risking her life in the school, and suddenly rushed to his own very conscience.

Guo Feng and Zhang Xiao are very good friends, and he said what he said in his heart, Zhang Xiao was silent for a while. As a good friend, he knows the Guo family, and knows that Guo Feng and his eldest sister usually jingle the bell. Guo Feng didn't think much about his sister's safety, but thought about his own scenery first, it was indeed a little unconscionable, it was his own sister, but it was also for a reason.

"Alright, don't worry. Your sister took the initiative to apply for her name, and this is the path she chose herself. Zhang Xiao said as he pushed the bicycle. He is just a young man who has not entered society, and even if he wants to comfort his friends, he doesn't know how to speak. In the end, I had to turn the topic to the spring outing not long after. This year's spring outing of Gusu No. 2 High School is not a grade group going out, but an independent activity with the class as a unit, and their class is going to the edge of Taihu Lake. After the news was confirmed, even the learning atmosphere in the class dissipated a lot. All the students were thinking about the spring outing.

Zhang Xiao spat and said for a long time, seeing that Guo Feng was still lonely, he didn't seem to listen to what he said, and pulled down Guo Fengjiao with his right hand: "Hey......, did you hear what I said?" It's up to your sister to decide this matter. Your father and mother agreed, what's your business? ”

"If you're really sad. When your sister comes back from the battlefield in the future, you can reconcile with your sister and stop making trouble! ”

Guo Feng who said what Zhang Xiao said naturally heard very clearly. But he couldn't tell Zhang Xiao that up to now, he still had three points of resentment against his sister. In the past two years, the words Guo Yan and famous universities have overwhelmed him. I really don't know how to reply to Zhang Xiao's shouting by my side.

"Guo Jun, Zhang Jun, hello."

When Guo Feng and Zhang Xiaozheng felt a little dull, a voice sounded in their ears beside them, and when they turned their heads, they saw a person in a neat navy blue school uniform, who was not tall but very thick and powerful. It was Sasuke Kiyota, a Japanese man in their class.

This is a Japanese teenager who followed his uncle to China. His uncle was a Japanese veteran and had already joined the Chinese state. The surnames have been replaced with single-character Chinese surnames - Tian.

But Kiyota Sasuke's father didn't have the courage of his uncle, and he stayed in Japan all the time, so naturally he couldn't get Chinese nationality. When Kiyota was a child, life in Japan was too difficult, so the family came to China to join his uncle, traveled in Shanghai and Nanjing, and finally settled in Suzhou, where he opened a Japanese restaurant.

The money is not small, and Sasuke Kiyota's family conditions can be at least in the top 20 in their class. However, he does not have Chinese nationality. Every year, they need to go to the local police station to apply for a residence permit, which has always been the biggest pain for Qingtian's family.

Sasuke Kiyota has four brothers, and he speaks Chinese completely authentically, but his grades are poor. Especially mathematics, physics and chemistry. At the same time, Sasuke Kiyota, who is stout and powerful, is not a special student like Zhang Xiao who can develop in sports, so Sasuke Kiyota, whose grades are at the bottom of the second high school, will not go to school at all.

Kiyota, who is less than 18 years old, has already signed up to join the army. He passed the first physical examination, and he will not be back at school until next month at the latest.

Sasuke Kiyota's entry into the army would allow his family to gain permanent residency in China. But not to obtain Chinese nationality. That will at least wait until Qingtian has made great achievements or become a full-fledged officer of the Chinese National Defense Forces. before a declaration can be made.

It is now more difficult to become a Chinese citizen than before. Unless it is a big name, such as those famous scholars and scientists, their naturalization applications can be easily approved, but how many such people? Nikolai. Tesla's experience envies scientists from all over the Western world, but it is very difficult to get these Western scientists to work for China.

"Science has no borders, and scientists have a motherland!" Pasteur's famous quote is true.

Another way is to go to the army to fight for China's life and death, five years, so many people can only seek a permanent residency right, China has not been at war for many years, only sporadic gunfire on the islands in the South Seas. And how can there be military merit without war? Without military merit, how can they get the Chinese nationality they dream of? The most important thing is that there is still a group of security forces in Nanyang to rob them of credit.

Finally, the recruitment criteria for China's defense forces are strict, and not everyone can sign up for the selection. Many Chinese have not been selected after repeated registrations, let alone foreigners with no roots?

Qingtian is not the only one who signed up for the army in the entire Gusu Second High School, and as far as Zhang Xiao and Guo Feng know, they can easily name four or five. But the foreigner is only Sasuke Kiyota. There are at least 10,000 young people in Suzhou Prefecture who have signed up to join the army, and the number of soldiers is said to be less than 3,000. A large number of these are technical soldiers, that is, non-combatants such as automobile soldiers.

Chengping has been 20 years younger, and the social status of soldiers is still very high. The status of the military in China has not changed in the slightest!

This time it is rare for the country to expand its troops, the standard for joining the army has plummeted, and seeing that there is going to be a global battle again, Chinese young people who cherish the glory of their ancestors are eager to join the army. The new generation of people cultivated in China over the years is full of national consciousness and knows better what this war means for China!

"Morning, Kiyota." Guo Feng and Zhang Xiao greeted Sasuke Kiyota at the same time, and Zhang Xiao's tone was particularly affectionate. Because although Sasuke is not a fast runner, and he does not have the talent to play basketball or football, he is very strong and knows martial arts, which makes Zhang Xiao admire him very much.

By 1916, Chinese cinema had a great social influence. Because there is a time-traveling bug of Emperor Liu behind Chinese movies, a lot of 'forward-looking' guidance can be given. In recent years, the progress of China's film industry has been 'fast', the box office has risen repeatedly, and the entire market has made a scale, which naturally attracts many people to swim. Especially action movies, there is now the level of Hong Kong martial arts films in the sixties and seventies.

Such martial arts films are very appetizing to the Chinese, and it naturally brings the influence of martial arts in the people, and countless Chinese people are proud of 'practicing martial arts'. Those who don't know how to worship martial arts are even more worshipful. Martial arts, although it is no longer mysterious in the minds of the Chinese people, has been draped in a layer of magic.

Martial arts, martial arts, martial arts, adult fairy tales of the Chinese, that is really not a joke. It's not a historical change that can be butterfly off, it is the accumulation of China's 3,000-year-old 'chivalrous' culture, and a feeling or potential ** in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Just like the expectations of the Chinese people for the 'Lord of the Blue Sky', there are also strong expectations for 'doing chivalrous deeds, eliminating violence and peace, robbing the rich and helping the poor'.

Kiyota Sasuke was born as a Japanese samurai, otherwise his uncle would not be qualified to throw himself into the arms of the Qin army early. Kiyota began to wield a knife to polish his body when he was a child, and connected with the ancestral knife skills of the Kiyota family. But when Kiyota's family was still living alone and starting a business in China, the first fund, in addition to his uncle's funding, was to sell an ancestral set of Japanese bamboo armor and two katana swords to a Chinese nobleman who was interested in Oriental weapons.

Kiyota Sasuke also no longer learns his ancestral swordsmanship, and Kiyota Koiichi, who is determined to leave everything in the past, is well aware of his family's situation. If you want to live in China in peace and let your children and grandchildren fully integrate into this powerful country, you can only leave everything in the past behind. Otherwise, even if the family has Chinese nationality, they can only live in China as Japanese with Chinese nationality. The social outlook will be very narrow.

With a little money to spare, Kiyota Shoichi would rather send Kiyota Sasuke to a local martial arts gym to learn some superficial tricks than train Kiyota Sasuke to become a standard Japanese samurai.

Facts have proved that Kiyota Sasuke is still very talented in martial arts, at the age of 15, the second year that the Kiyota family moved to Suzhou, he became an inner disciple of a local Hongquan master in Suzhou, and then the Kiyota family was stunned to find that their business in Suzhou seemed to have a protective film, not only the ruffians never came again, but even the police and taxes were much more polite to their family. Later, Qingtian Xiangyi learned that the Hongquan master his son worshipped might not be very good at his own martial arts, but he had a great background. Many of his brothers and sisters served in the Suzhou Police Department and the Taihu Garrison.

It was this time that Sasuke Kiyota joined the army, and his master also led him to meet some elders first, so it would be very smooth. And as long as he doesn't perform badly in recruit training, there is a chance that he will be assigned to an elite field unit as Sasuke Kiyota wants!

Of course, Sasuke Kiyota almost went to the field troops through the back door, and he was full of fighting spirit, which also made his master earn enough face in front of his brothers. (To be continued.) )
