"Listen! Our Singing China China China! Listen! You don't hear the 40,000,000 voices of China and China in Yadong, all of them sing in the same tune and in the same breath! ”

The New Year's Day of 1919 is getting closer and closer, catching up with the victory in the European war, and the streets and alleys are shrouded in a strong festive atmosphere.

"Sir, is this the national anthem of our country?" Coming back from Peking University, Li Laosan asked while pedaling a tricycle: "I've been hearing this song on the road all the time these days, and I can sing it." ”

In the closed compartment of the tricycle, Cheng Nuo opened the window and looked outside: "It's not the national anthem, it's just a temporary substitute." ”

Li Laosan's footsteps were obviously stagnant, and he couldn't help but ask behind him: "This big country, doesn't it even have a national anthem?" How do I remember what kind of flowers Li Zhongtang sang when he went to a foreign country? I guess there's such a thing. ”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "Yes, there is such a thing, that flower is called "Jasmine", but the authenticity needs to be verified, I didn't expect Lao Li You still remember it so clearly, it seems that I have been learning a lot during this time, right?" ”

Half a lifetime of hard work has made Li Laosan's face tanned and shiny, and now that he is praised by Mr. like this, his face is actually a little darker: "Hehe, in fact, I didn't study much, so I knew more words, and from time to time I helped Mr. Guo Shouchun take care of some crops, and went to Mr. Tao Xingzhi's students to pretend to be blackfaced." ”

"Hey, Lao Li, this is your fault, we still have to encourage comrades who maintain progress." Pulling the window on the carriage shut, Cheng Promise said approvingly: "Look at what you said, it adds up to a lot." ”

Li Laosan touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "No, no, it's just a matter of scaring a few hairy boys, but sir, I want to ask you a question, that is, I am also a comrade?" ”

Cheng Nuo's tone immediately raised by more than a dozen decibels: "Of course, you have always been our comrade, as long as you don't make mistakes of principle, you were before, you are now, and even more so in the future!" ”

Hearing this answer, Li Laosan was surprised and delighted, and his feet kicked the ground.

In fact, our earliest national anthem was not the "Jasmine" spread on the Internet, and the story about Li Zhongtang is more like a joke, and there is no way to verify the specific sources.

The first national anthem of our country that has been investigated in history is "Gong Jinou", which began to evolve from "Huazhu Song", and the first score was composed with a ruler. The tune itself is not internationally applicable, and the content of the song is basically composed by Kangxi and Qianlong.

Unfortunately, when it was officially listed as the national anthem, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already on the verge of extinction, and only a few days after its release, Wuchang/Qi/Uprising broke out, and after a few months of struggle, with the release of Puyi's abdication edict, the opportunity for this national anthem was completely exhausted.

When the Republic of China was founded, it took several years of painstaking efforts to collect hundreds of songs and did not choose well, and finally caught up with Yuan Datou to restore the imperial system, and directly selected a so-called "National Music" as the national anthem, but Yuan Datou Emperor was not long in coming, and the national anthem was also selected for a short time, and the Hongxian Empire failed, and the national anthem returned to blank.

As for the "national anthem" sung now, in essence, it was also because of the unsatisfactory works solicited by many parties, so Zhao Yuanren's "Try Your Best Chinese Song" was selected as the national anthem, and what Cheng Nuo listened to was only one of the two chapters.

Even so, taking advantage of the joy of victory in Europe and the convenience of the current broadcast of "National", this generation of national anthem began to circulate everywhere.

Accompanied by the immature singing of the children on the side of the road, Cheng Nuo got down from the carriage, felt in his pocket and found some candy, so he directly distributed it to those children.

Even Li Laosan saw these children, and his face was full of wrinkles with a smile.

At this moment, Goudaner led the other three children back from outside, and after seeing that his father was at the door, he quickly turned around and muttered to his friends, and finally pushed Nidaner out, twisting and pinching: "Dad." ”

"Huh?" Li Laosan touched the heads of those children, stood up and said, "Why don't you go home so late, what are you doing outside?" Let's say okay first, the sugar has been divided, and if you want money, you will go to your mother. ”

Nidan'er glanced at the friends behind her, and after receiving encouragement, she whispered, "Dad, we don't want anything." ”

"And what do you want?" couldn't help but say, Li Laosan directly pulled his daughter: "Is it that you have taken the exam, and your results are not as good as last time?" I want the parents to sign, don't worry, no matter how bad you are, you can still have your brother? ”

As he spoke, he even glared in the direction of the dog, his attitude was completely different from the kindness just now, and he said in a broken voice: "Rabbit cub, did you fail the exam again?" Your mother can't stop me this time, see how I clean you up! ”

The dog's neck shrank suddenly, and then he remembered that he didn't care about it, and the time for the exam was still far away, so he had no reason to be afraid of his father, so he simply said boldly: "I...... I have a name, not a rabbit cub, a Li Jianhua! Uneducated people call people 'rabbit cubs' at every turn! ”

Seeing that this rebel son remembered the wind again, he actually taught himself a lesson in public, but with Mr. here, Li Laosan tried his best to suppress his temper, and said to himself: "I was called 'comrade' just now, and Mr. said that comrades should pay attention to methods in doing things, and they can't do things on impulse......"

However, after seeing the gradually arrogant expression of his son on the other side, the fire in Li Laosan's heart burned directly to the top of his head, and his eyes widened angrily: "Okay, Li Jianhua, now that your wings are hard, you have the ability to come over!" ”

Seeing this, Goudan'er immediately hid away: "You think I'm stupid?" I can't go over, you have the ability to come! ”

"Okay, Li Jianhua, Li Jianhua, I kind of understand, today is the time you want to be Lao Tzu, you see that I can't go over, you'd better run faster......" Li Laosan was angry, and he wanted to chase after him as soon as he took off his hat.

Cheng Nuo next to him hurriedly persuaded him, pulled Ni Dan to change the topic, and said, "Lao Li, Ni Dan just looked for you for something, didn't you say it yet?" ”

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about it." Li Laosan glared at the dog, and then put his hat back on: "Rabbit cub, don't come to educate your father, even if you run to God, you are also Lao Tzu's son!" ”

Nidaner really didn't want her brother to suffer again, so Lala's father's arm coquettishly said: "Dad, my brother is not sensible, I'll settle accounts for you when I come back, don't be angry with him now, okay?" ”

Li Laosan's attitude instantly eased a lot, and he said kindly: "Okay, what's wrong." ”

Nidan breathed a sigh of relief, holding her father with one hand, and gesturing to her brother with one hand behind her back, indicating that it had been resolved.

When this side settled down, Li Laosan carried his daughter's schoolbag and said curiously: "Nidan'er, what did you want to say just now?" ”

Nidan bit her lip, hesitated and said slowly: "Dad, sir, there are bad people outside our yard!" ”

"Bad guys!? Where is it? Hearing this, Li Laosan immediately picked up his daughter, looked around vigilantly, and everyone in his eyes seemed to be suspicious, like a frightened bird: "Is this it?" What about that? Or the one that sells rock sugar gourds? ”

Compared with Li Laosan, Cheng Nuo seemed much calmer, and even the smile on his face did not decrease at all: "Nidan'er, what you said is true?" Are there bad guys in our neighborhood? ”

Nidan nodded and said firmly: "There is a bad person, that is the ......"

As she spoke, Nidan was about to point in the direction of what she thought was the "bad guy".

Cheng Nuo didn't want to startle the snake, so he quickly stopped him when he saw this, and instructed Li Laosan in time: "Don't point it, don't look at it, if there is really the bad guy Ni Dan said, I'm afraid there will never be one, if you act now, and then want to find out his accomplices, it will be even more difficult." ”

After hearing this, Li Laosan also retracted his gaze, although he wanted to make his facial expression more natural, but he had never seen this kind of battle, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Sir, then what should we do now?" ”

Cheng Nuo said calmly: "Now go back first and close the door." ”

Li Laosan nodded, put his daughter down and was about to push the tricycle home, and did not forget to wave to the dog and let him go home.

Although they are noisy on weekdays, in fact, the father and son basically have no overnight feuds, they are both loud, and they have not been disciplined with sticks a few times in the real sense, more because Li Laosan wants to maintain his dignity as a father through his loud voice.

Dog Dan'er naturally knew this, and after seeing his father's actions, he also went back obediently, as the eldest among the children, he did not forget to do a good job of breaking off, and the last person went home and tied the door in person.

I didn't think that as soon as I turned around, I bumped into Li Laosan's gaze and habitually staggered it, but I didn't expect Cheng Nuo to be waiting for him there.

"Jianhua, I ......"

When Goudan heard Mr. call him so, his face turned red instantly, and he quickly opened his mouth and said, "Sir, you still call me Goudan, this sounds kind." ”

Li Laosan on the side was a little surprised, and snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

But there was business, and he didn't continue to say anything.

Cheng Nuo smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll call you Doganer, Dogdaner, you said that you and a few partners found bad guys, and there is more than one, is there such a thing?" ”

Goudan nodded again and again: "Yes, there is such a thing, at first we thought that there were only some gentlemen on the beam, thinking of stealing things from our house, but later we found out that this is not the case, always looking for people to ask questions, and they are very interested in everything in our house." ”

Wen Cong echoed beside him: "Brother Goudan is right, the last time I walked through the back door, I saw someone rummaging through the garbage that our house had dumped, picking up and picking up there, and I didn't know what I was looking for." ”

Li Laosan was puzzled: "Picking up things? Could it be the barbarians who collect the rags? I heard that after the loss of salary, those people are not as good as ordinary people, and they often eat the last meal without the next meal. ”

Wen Cong shook his head and said firmly: "Uncle Li is not like this, that person doesn't want anything, just pick some waste paper, and look at his dress, he doesn't look like a person who is short of money at all, and then after quietly paying attention to observation, I found that he didn't go anywhere, just hanging around our house." ”

At this time, Li Laosan was completely nervous, looked at Cheng Nuo and asked, "Sir, do you want me to invite a few more guys who take care of the home and raise a few big wolf dogs, otherwise we don't know when people will touch in." ”

Cheng Nuo didn't answer in a hurry, squatted down to be at the same level as these children, and continued to ask, "How long has this matter lasted?" When did you notice it? ”

Goudan'er scratched his head and thought for a while, and replied: "It seems that when the spring first came, I felt something, and when we confirmed, I wanted to tell Mr., but Mr. went to Shanghai, and then went to Europe, and those people disappeared, but I didn't expect them to come again recently, and there seemed to be more people." ”

"More?" Cheng Nuo's expression was much more serious, but he was afraid that these children would be worried, and some unpredictable things would happen in a desperate way, so he patted them on the shoulder and smiled: "It's okay, it's just a few small things, it's not a problem for us, your vigilance is worth encouraging!" ”

Hearing this, the children's tense expressions immediately relaxed, and they were even more happy after hearing the praise, and the previous tension also disappeared.

But adults are adults after all, after placing these children, Li Laosan hurriedly trotted over and said nervously to Cheng Nuo: "Sir......"

"Bring the door shut."

"Okay."

With a "crunch", Li Laosan said nervously: "Sir, I'm afraid these people have bad intentions, how should we deal with it next?" No, as I said, find a few young and strong young men, and feed them two or three dogs, and these people will not be blatant! ”

On the papyrus, Cheng Nuo was still drawing the structure of the courtyard: "These people are not something that a few strong men can solve, even if they have the strength in their hands, they can't stop the cold gun in secret." ”

Li Laosan was a little discouraged: "Then what should we do, just watch and do nothing?" It's not a big deal! ”

Cheng Nuo replied: "In this way, you don't have to pick me up later, just send the children to and from class all the way." ”

Li Laosan was a little reluctant and worried: "But what about your safety, sir?" Wouldn't it be more dangerous to go to work alone, no, I don't think it works! ”

Cheng Nuo put down his pen and persuaded: "There are priorities, I know in my own heart, you go to pick up the children to and from work, not only to protect the safety of the children, but also to watch these people from the perspective of the children, I don't think they are all from a gang." ”

"But......" Li Laosan wanted to say something.

It's a pity that he was interrupted by Cheng Nuo again: "There's nothing to do, just invite Mr. Jiang Baili over." ”

Hearing this name, the unwillingness on Li Laosan's face faded instantly, for this gentleman, he admired it tightly, he was all capable, and he was definitely more powerful than him in terms of protecting the safety of Mr.

"Okay, sir, I'll go and invite Mr. Jiang over to you!"

"Also, there are rewards for singing the national anthem, and more people are called to the neighborhood, the more lively the better!"
