Chapter 90: Zhang Jiaheng's Death
Chaoyang Orphanage does not have a decent living room, nor does it have a sofa, but it also gathered a group of friends, including the three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, Huang Shiying, the Liang couple and Sun Shengyi.
The conditions are difficult, there are no flowers, no music, Shen Mengxi turned out a plaid shawl and spread it on the children's low dining table, Lin Huiya inserted A Pingcai's wildflowers into a teacup and put it on the table, everyone smiled and said, there is an atmosphere!
Shen Mengxi took out half a can of instant coffee and shook it proudly, everyone suddenly sighed excitedly, and Sun Shengyi sighed loudly, "I haven't drunk coffee for a century!" ”
This year's prices have doubled compared to last year, and coffee is really a luxury.
The unsweetened coffee has a thick aroma, just smelling the smell, and everyone's spirits have been lifted.
Aji, who is almost one year old, looked at everyone curiously, he stood on his father's lap, jumped up vigorously, stepped on Liang Chengru's fleshless thigh, and twisted the soles of his feet from time to time, Liang Chengru grinned, painfully and happily smiled and supported his little son's armpits, and tilted his head from time to time to listen to his wife's eloquent talk.
Today's topic begins with the suspension of the Olympic Games.
"There have been two cancellations of the Summer Olympics in history, the 1916 Berlin Olympics and the 1940 Tokyo Olympics, plus this year's London Olympics, all three of which were cancelled because of the war," Lin Huiya began with the introduction, and everyone expressed their opinions.
Shen Mengxi quietly added in his heart, there was another time because of the pandemic, hehe, Japan wants to hold an Olympic Games independently, it is difficult!
"Liu Changchun, who participated in the 10th Los Angeles Olympics, do you remember, he later participated in the 11th Olympic Games, but due to seasickness, there were still no good results. This person is also a hard bone, he was originally from Dalian, and after the Japanese occupied Dalian, they asked him to represent Manchukuo in the competition, but he just didn't agree. Later, he was arrested and imprisoned in prison for more than a month, and after he came out, he couldn't stay in the northeast anymore, and successively went to several universities to work as a sports assistant, lecturer and associate professor, and now I don't know what happened. Zhang Jiaxuan sighed.
Shen Mengxi can still remember the sunny smiling face of the big boy back then, and think of the football team of Dongda University, and it is even more regrettable that when China's national strength was the weakest, men's football was brave and invincible, invincible, and when the national strength was getting stronger, the national football team had been sluggish and defeated repeatedly. It's a magical and frustrating thing.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, on both sides of the Suzhou Creek, on one side was the rumbling of artillery, on the other hand, there were sheng songs and swallow dances, and the concession was lit up all night long, which was connected with the war in Zhabei, which was really a spectacle. I received a letter from home the day before yesterday, and they were all fine, and Jia Dong also said that he was embarrassed to eat all the food in the basement of the seventh sister. Huang Shiying said with a smile.
Shen Mengxi smiled and waved his hand, "It's for my family." ”
The second aunt died long before the fall of Shanghai and was buried in the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family lived in Shen Mengxi's villa, Zhang's father's apartment and Mrs. Lin's villa, Mrs. Lin followed her son to Hong Kong, and before leaving, she told Zhang's father to let them live, even if it was to help look after the house. Therefore, over the years, except for Zhang's father, who was angry with Zhang Jiaheng, Zhang Jiaheng's family went to Nanjing, and the other brothers and sisters were fine.
"Shanghai was an isolated island, but it was also thriving, and people had to book tickets in advance if they wanted to watch a weekend movie, and nightclubs abounded and they sang every night. When "Mulan in the Army" was released in Chongqing, I heard that the copy of the film was burned by the audience before I could watch it, and later, the Ministry of Culture of the government re-evaluated, thinking that the film could stimulate the people's anti-Japanese war sentiment, so it was re-screened, and I never had time to watch it. Lin Huiya said as she took her youngest son from her husband and handed it to her eldest daughter, asking her to take her younger brother to play.
"Yes, when I came to Chongqing, I hadn't watched a movie, and I was worried every day that a bomb would fall on my head, so how could I dare to go out and run around. Alas, seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, and everything at home has almost forgotten. Shen Mengxi sighed.
Zhang Jiasen said, "Sister-in-law Lin is in good order for you, and her son refuses to take her back to enjoy happiness." Rhubarb is still working hard to take care of the house, but he is a little old. Taking a sip of coffee, he suddenly took out a book from his backpack with a mysterious face, and Shen Mengxi was shocked when he saw that the title of the book was "ZD Anthology".
"There are five volumes in this anthology, and I read the second volume. You should all read it. Zhang Jiasen recommended eagerly.
Zhang Jiaxuan also saw it, grabbed it, and stuffed it back into his brother's backpack, "It's better for you to see for yourself, don't take it out here." Then he changed the topic, "The Japanese government forcibly recruited Chinese women to serve as prostitutes of the Japanese army, and about 200,000 comfort women died in these years, which is almost equivalent to the Nanjing Massacre."
"Why can't you read it? Isn't the book published for people to read? If there is merit, why not recommend and promote? Don't you know that the U.S. military observation team has gone to Yan'an to inspect it? Zhang Jiasen's stubbornness came up again, he was very dissatisfied with his brother's behavior, interrupted him, and was about to pull out the book, but his wife gently held his hand.
Looking at Huang Shiying's slightly bulging abdomen, Zhang Jiasen did not struggle, sighed and let go of his hand.
Huang Shiying is the same age as Shen Mengxi, married to Zhang Jiasen for nearly 20 years, and has four children, and now this is the fifth child. Zhang Jiasen is 57 years old, and he is very much looking forward to this old man who is still in the womb, so he received a hint from his wife and immediately stopped speaking up.
Shen Mengxi took the opportunity to ask about Huang Shiying's due date and physical condition, and told her to pay attention to her blood pressure and blood sugar, and just look for her if she has something.
Anyway, I changed the subject. Everyone talked about the Southwest Associated University and the Pacific War, although the orphanage was not as quiet and comfortable as the courtyard house of Lin Huiya in Beiping, but in the laughter of the children, they also talked about the sunset and the west mountain.
In November, the newspaper reported that Wang Jingwei died of illness in Japan.
Zhang Jiaxuan stood up suddenly, his eyes looked into the unknown distance, and clenched his fists.
Half a month later, the phone rang shortly after the orphanage was installed, it was Zhang Jiaxuan calling, he laughed and said to his sister, "Jiayu, revenge!" That Qian Yaozu was shot in the heart by the killer, and went underground to kowtow to his father and apologize! ”
After speaking, his voice suddenly choked up, "Father is confused." ”
Shen Mengxi was speechless for a while, and his mood was complicated.
Zhang Jiaheng did not kill them all, and did not harm Zhang Jiaheng's wife and children, Zhang Jiaheng's eldest son even asked the killer to bring back a letter, which said that for his father's behavior, as a son of man, he could not do it. But there is also some understanding of the father's behavior.
It turned out that Zhang Jiaheng was not keen on traditional Chinese medicine, and he hoped to study, study abroad, and engage in politics like his brother and brother. But since he was a child, he was forced by his father to recite soup songs, recite difficult medical books, and was forced to inherit the mantle. When he was eighteen years old, he overheard his parents arguing, only to know that he was not the son of the Zhang family, and Zhang's mother also said that "other people's families who are dead and have to stir up will not be able to live in peace", Zhang Jiaheng's mother image who has always been gentle and generous suddenly collapsed, he deliberately looked for an opportunity to check the information of his biological parents, and learned that his real name was Qian Yaozu, and learned that it was because of Zhang's mother that Zhang's father and mother could not be combined, so he hated Zhang's mother in his heart, thinking that she was afraid that she would steal the limelight of her biological son, to prevent him from studying abroad.
In fact, in addition to that complaint, the kind-hearted mother Zhang Jiaheng has always regarded Zhang Jiaheng as a parent. Zhang Jiaheng has always buried this grudge in his heart, and he is still a filial son on the surface.
Until Shen Mengxi returned to China after the divorce, the old lady inadvertently found that Zhang Jiaheng was full of private money, embezzled the money of the hospital, and angrily reprimanded Zhang Jiaheng.
Later, Wang Jingwei promised him to be an official of the Ministry of Health, and he did not hesitate to leave the Zhang family and go for his own good future. still dropped a heart-piercing sentence, angry at the old father who had hurt him for fifty years, and taught everything he valued the most.
It can only be said that the acquired environment is important, but the inferiority in Zhang Jiaheng's genes still prevailed over the Zhang family's good family education and harmonious family atmosphere, making him still a wolf-hearted beast for decades.
At the end of the letter, Zhang Jiaheng's eldest son said that they did not blame the fourth uncle, and the whole family kowtowed to their grandparents to pray for atonement, and promised that they would never do anything for the Japanese in their lives.
Zhang Jiaxuan finally muttered on the phone, hum, dying so happily, it's really cheap for this brute!
