Chapter 423
No one knew what was going on in the minds of the six girls at this time, but after Wang Wenwu finished explaining, she just gave a sweet smile. It was in Tianjin that she lived the life of a rich wife.
Shu Jinxi didn't know what she was busy with, she only knew that she always had something to do. There was even less time to meet with Wang Wenwu. Wang Wenwu's news about Shu Jinxi was all from Huaihua.
Fortunately, it is not like it used to be now, and it is paraded at every turn. Shu Jinxi is also experienced, until the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China. No one has discovered her little secret at all.
Except for a few gray hairs on Wang Wenwu's head, the rest are still the same as before. But several women around Wang Wenwu rarely do housework on weekdays. But maybe it's because he has had too many children, and standing with Wang Wenwu, he looks much older.
The change in Wang Wenwu's family in recent years is that the population has increased. Wang Wenwu's women have two more than before. Huaihua can face it calmly, although Huaihua's age is also in her early thirties.
But Huaihua can be regarded as good at maintenance in this woman. It's not the same as when I was in my twenties, but it's just more charming than then.
But Chunni is different, and I don't know what the reason is, she is about the same age as Huaihua. But it looks at least five years older than the locust flower. And he often complains about the heavens and people. Now even Wang Wenwu doesn't like to go to her.
What's more, it is a newcomer, no woman is always young, but there are always young women. Chunni didn't think of this, and all kinds of complaints and indecency at home couldn't persuade even her own children. This can only make Wang Wenwu even more annoying.
Wang Wenwu's life was so easy and comfortable, it made Wang Wenwu forget what kind of day it was in July of the 26th year of the Republic of China.
The newspapers are full of all sorts of messy news, and even more so on the streets. There are all kinds of speculations, and even the aunts in Wang Wenwu's alley have turned into high-ranking officials from all walks of life, discussing the situation in Beiping under the big tree. Of course, there are also people who want to fish in troubled waters. Fortunately, the police are still patrolling the streets, and the order on the streets has not disappeared.
There are a lot of people who think it's just a local problem. This kind of thing has been done by the Japanese side, and I don't know how many times. All of them are unaware of the magnitude of the problem.
So although the Chinese soldiers guarding the Lugou Bridge were given large watermelons sent by the citizens in the scorching heat; Although more than 20 groups from all walks of life in Peiping, including the National Salvation Association, jointly launched a campaign to donate 10,000 sacks and 10,000 vests; Although the Northeast students who had been exiled to Beiping after the September 18 Incident marched around with slogans of "Comfort Labor Regiment" in the hope that the officers and men of the 29th Army would defend their homes and the country, so that Beiping would not become the second province in the eastern part of the country, there were still many people who believed that the war would not be fought.
But that was the first few days, the first few days of the market was relatively normal, the city gate was not closed, and the trains to Tianjin, Baoding, and Zhangjiakou were still passing as usual. Prices of grain, vegetables, coal, etc., have not fluctuated for a while.
In mid-July, the operation of trains on the Bac Ninh Railway was also normalized, and martial law was lifted in Peiping. Although there were temporary fortifications built with sandbags at some of the city's important intersections, it was common for soldiers to set up machine guns in them.
It has strengthened the belief that this is just a local conflict. After negotiations, it will not be long before normalcy returns.
But when the fight really started at the end of July. The price of grain is like someone cheering it up, and it has quickly reached a high level. The wealthy people in Beiping City had a way to leave Beiping, so they had already packed their bags and sat on the bus to Tianjin.
Wang Wenwu's house in Mingxiang in the eastern suburbs was originally placed there. It was Wang Wenwu who planned to wait for when Beiping City was in turmoil, and then move over to avoid the limelight.
But many people came to ask if they could live together. In case the guards of the embassies of various countries block the embassy and consulate areas, they will not be able to enter the outside.
At the beginning of the day, the sound of gunfire before dawn was uninterrupted throughout the day. The night before, the patrol officers went door to door to inform them that the cracks in the windows and doors should be plugged to prevent the Japanese planes from discharging poison gas at night.
Wang Wenwu followed some brave people to the city wall of Beiping City, wanting to see what the battle situation was. Strangely, the gates of the city, which had been closed in the past, were now open, and there was silence all around, and not a single soldier of the Chinese defenders was gone.
At this time, Wang Wenwu's family received a call from a friend: "Commander Song left last night!" The situation in Peking has changed! Even if it is the enemy! ”
Wang Wu's family was even more upside down, and in the 25th year of the Republic of China, the 29th Army posted notices in major cities in the north. He said that in order to train junior officers for the 29th Army, young people who are interested in joining the army are specially recruited, and the requirements are to be at least 18 years old, have a junior high school diploma, and once they are admitted by examination, the school period is at least two years.
The curriculum is very comprehensive, Chinese language, mathematics, physics, chemistry, foreign language, and the salary is also very good, with a monthly allowance of three yuan, and he will become a warrant officer officer immediately after graduation.
In this way, being able to join the army and serve the country is a good way out for individuals in the years of war and chaos. The enrollment announcement attracted young students to sign up enthusiastically.
Aiqin's two sons who are old enough to register immediately came to the name. Zhang Lin of Huaihua, Zhang Mao of Chunni. also signed up with their brother. In this way, Wang Wenwu's family had four people who joined the military training regiment of the 29th Army together.
Wang Wenwu supported this, but Chunni was persuaded by his own son Zhang Mao for a long time before agreeing.
Zhang Mao said that it is not easy to find a job now, not to mention that although he is going to be a soldier this time, he is not going to be a big head! If you study it, you will be an officer, and you will have an allowance of three oceans per month. And the commander values them very much, so he will definitely think of them as the first one when he is promoted in the future, so the rank will not rise in the future.
Chun-ni is blinded by the beautiful blueprint her son has painted. I never thought that as long as there was a war, people would always die.
At least when sending Zhang Mao away, Chunni was full of thoughts that her son would ride a high-headed horse in the future, and Wang Wenwu, a small clerk, would beg him to let him go to bed.
But after hearing that Zhang Mao and the other student soldiers were going to go to the battlefield, Huaihua herself could still adjust. But Chunni couldn't, like a crazy woman, she insisted on Wang Wenwu pulling his precious son back from the army.
This is all on the battlefield, not to mention that Wang Wenwu has no way, even if there is a way, he can't do it! Isn't this just an escape?
