When the Fifth Division was completely annihilated, fierce fighting was also going on in the European theater. Nazi Germany marched westward and attacked France, and Germany and France, the century-old rivals, fought a decisive battle again.

The world's attention is turned to Europe, but few people are concerned about the Chinese battlefield. In their opinion, the war between the two eastern countries does not deserve their attention, but soon they will pay for this stupid idea.

Unlike the world's focus on Europe, people at home talk most about the victory in front of them, but they also talk about the war in Europe. In the streets and alleys of Nanjing, whether it is the college students who have not yet moved out, or the cultural people who like to read books and newspapers on weekdays, or the pawn peddlers who carry cigarette pouches pinned to their waists, the most discussed thing is the next war.

"Hey, you know what? Europe is also fighting! Our German engineers in Nanjing are ready to return to China. ”

"Fighting, you will know that you are fighting all day long, and you will not let people live a day in peace."

"Who said no, let's look forward to winning, if you win, you can live a peaceful life."

……

Compared with these busy people on the street, Huang Zhengzhong, Shu Shu and Su Hui, who had just come to Nanjing from Hong Kong, were a little abrupt, they were all wearing suits with small lapels and duck tongue hats on their heads, and Su Hui was wearing a long crimson dress, a sunhat on her head, and red nails were exposed in her blank leather shoes.

The trio's fashionable-looking outfits don't fit in with the environment. After getting off the plane, the two men in front hurried to the nearby tram stop with rattan suitcases.

Why did Su Hui appear in Nanjing? The question obviously started a week ago, when Huang Zhengzhong and his team arrived at the port of Manila. Arriving here safely made people breathe a sigh of relief, but Miss Su thought of the thrilling journey before, but she couldn't get enough, and she danced excitedly when she talked about it.

On the same day, Huang Zhengzhong and the statement, as Su Hui's friends, had the opportunity to visit Su Hui's manor outside Manila.

After disembarking from the port of Luzon, several people took a local rickshaw to the city. Unlike most Chinese, Su Hui's home is not in the Minlunluo area, where Chinese are concentrated. Su Hui explained that they originally lived there and then moved out.

More than an hour later, when they arrived at Su Hui's manor, Huang Zhengzhong and the statement understood the reason why Su Hui said he moved out.

It's a typical tropical estate with a blue sea just around the corner and a pretty good location for the view. The house building is also very good, granite walls, marble floors, two lion-shaped fountains in the courtyard constantly out of the water, next to a few tall coconut trees, warm sunlight sprinkled, white clothes of servants walked back and forth, walking into the door, even Huang Zhengzhong, who is used to seeing luxury, will feel that this is definitely a luxurious place.

Su Huizu was a Chinese who came here in the late Qing Dynasty, and her ancestors relied on their hard-working hands and shrewd heads to work hard here for several years, from scratch, from small to large, a little bit of accumulation to achieve such a big family business today.

"Come in, this is my house." Su Hui walked in with a small fan and looked like a master, and the white-clothed servant immediately opened the door for him.

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a black satin cheongsam with a beautiful face walked over, and the degree of intimacy between her and Su Hui made it easy to guess that she should be Su Hui's mother.

Su Hui's mother pulled Su Hui over, and Su Hui generously introduced: "Mommy, this is my friend in the United States." This is Zhao Zhong, this is the statement, they are both Chinese, studying in the United States. ”

Su Hui's mother smiled and said, "Welcome, come here, please take a seat." ”

After giving up her seat, Su Hui's mother casually said a polite word about taking care of Su Hui along the way, and then casually asked the two of them what to drink?

Huang Zhengzhong is talking about coffee, but he is talking about tea. Su Hui's mother smiled slightly, and asked someone to bring a cup of tea and a cup of coffee.

During this period, Su Hui has been chattering about all kinds of adventures, and she has also said a lot of things on the road, which surprised Su Hui's mother. She knew that her daughter was in a hurry and bold on weekdays, but she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on the road, which made her heart unacceptable

However, Su Hui's mother still didn't show too much on the surface, and kept chatting with the two. After a while, a young man in a shoulder-shirt and sunglasses walked in, and when he came in, he asked, "Mommy, where's my daddy?" ”

Su Hui's mother stood up and was about to speak, but he lowered his head and pulled his sunglasses to the tip of his nose and smiled: "Little sister is back?" Hehe, bring back two men? ”

Su Hui replied angrily: "Why can't you spit out ivory in your dog's mouth?" ”

Su Hui's mother was also a little angry and said, "Xiaoguang, how can you talk to a guest like this?" ”

Xiaoguang snorted coldly and said without smiling: "Yo, little mom, this is you, right?" What did I say? What's wrong? Aren't they two men? ”

"You ......" Su Hui was about to retort a few words, when she heard a majestic voice from outside the door: "Who is impolite?" ”

At this time, I saw a man in his fifties wearing a white shirt, white suspender trousers, and crutches walking in. The man wore a pair of glasses, and his little hair was combed back, and he looked polite, but not angry. As soon as he entered the living room, at least Su Hui's brother didn't dare to say a word.

Needless to say, this must be the head of this family, Su Hui's father.

"Xiaoguang, what are you doing again? The money is lost again? Why don't you learn from your brother? He glared at Xiaoguang, who muttered a sentence and staggered upstairs.

After the disturbing factor of Xiaoguang was gone, the living room returned to its usual quietness. Su Hui's father came over, first asked Su Hui a few words, and greeted Huang Zhengzhong and the statement with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Su Zirong, and I am Su Hui's father. Since you and Xiaohui are classmates and friends, don't see them outside when you come here. "Su Zirong is fluent in English.

"Dad, both of them are Chinese, you just need to speak Chinese to them." Su Hui interjected.

After hearing that the two were from Chinese mainland, Su Zirong was even more surprised, and he quickly changed to Chinese to talk to the two. Huang Zhengzhong and the statement have naturally seen the world, so it is very natural to talk to Su Zirong. Su Zirong sighed about some things in China when he was a child, and they couldn't help but laugh when they talked about resonance.

The atmosphere was good, and Su Zirong personally accompanied him at lunch. In the afternoon, Su Hui took the two of them to Manila, an American-ruled city that had been freed from the barbarians of its original state, and the streets were full of high-end cafes, Western restaurants, and Caucasian people in suits and sunglasses; But the gap between rich and poor here is widening, and in addition to the glamorous white and wealthy classes, there are more small, dark-skinned natives who either pull rickshaws or do the most strenuous manual work on the docks, and social divisions can be seen.

However, these do not affect their mood to play, after all, there are too many poor people to take care of anywhere.

The three of them ate dinner in a restaurant outside, and it was already dark when they returned home. The Su family's house is big enough, and there are several guest rooms, so Huang Zhengzhong and the statement stayed in his house that day.

At night, Su Zirong, who was in the bedroom, smoked a pipe but couldn't sleep. Su Hui's mother, who had changed into pajamas, walked in and asked him what was bothering him?

Su Zirong smiled and said, "Su Hui said something that happened in Japan, which gave me a feeling that those two classmates of his were not so simple. ”

Su Hui's mother also nodded after hearing this: "I heard Xiaohui say that when they were attacked in Japan, someone desperately went to save them, and the captain of the ship also protected them, except God forbid, I really can't think of any other reason." ”

Su Zirong smiled: "Those two people talk extraordinary, the one called the statement is muscular, responsive, and a bit like another person's follower in terms of demeanor, this is really interesting!" ”

He smoked his pipe slowly, spitting out smoke rings one by one.

"No matter what, I think we must let Su Hui, this kid, stay away from them." Su Hui's mother said with some concern.

Su Zirong smiled and said, "If it's really someone with a background, I think you can get in touch." Recently, some of my business has been in Yangon, and the final destination is China, if there is a relationship, it will also be good for future business expansion. ”

Su Hui's mother sighed: "Business, business, you know how to do business." ’

Su Zirong glared at her: "What do you know?" If we don't expand our business in Chinese mainland, we will be crushed by the Americans and the Philippines here. ”

Su Hui's mother didn't say anything more, she also understood the business matters, but she couldn't help anything.

Su Zirong walked to the window and smoked his pipe and pondered.

The next day, Su Zirong talked about Nanjing, Kunming, Guangzhou, Wuhan and other cities in China in a conversation with Huang Zhengzhong after dinner, and he said that he had been to many places, and many cities in China not only have ancient history, but also have all kinds of modern buildings, and of course, all kinds of fun.

Su Hui, who said that she likes to play and be excited, was itching, and she actually came up with the idea of going to Nanjing with Huang Zhengzhong and them. Su Hui's mother was taken aback when she heard this, she shook her head again and again: "There are still wars going on in many parts of China, what are you going to do as a girl?" ”

After hearing this, Huang Zhengzhong said solemnly: "Auntie loves her daughter very much, but I believe that the Chinese military and civilians have the ability to defend their own territory, and there is no problem with the safety of the above-mentioned cities." ”

After hearing this, Su Hui muttered, "Mommy, you want to go to Nanjing even more when you say this." Did you watch the news? I heard that the Chinese army annihilated a division of the Japanese devils, haha, I believe that Nanjing will not be lost. ”

Su Hui's mother was about to stop it, but Su Zirong said to Huang Zhengzhong: "It's okay, the motherland is suffering, Su Hui, it's okay if you take me to see." Also, I was going to donate $100,000 to support the motherland's war of resistance, and you just happened to bring it to me. You two are locals, help me find some trustworthy government agencies or charitable organizations to donate the money. ”

Hearing that Su Zirong was going to donate money to fund the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Zhengzhong and the statement glanced at each other and said, "Okay, we will definitely fulfill your wish." ”

In this way, Su Hui came to Nanjing with a check for 100,000 US dollars, and she did not know at this time that her trip would make her make a life-changing decision.
