Xu Xuzhi

Chapter 119
Fengjiu finished his work and returned home, arranged dinner, and waited for everyone to come back to eat together.

Unexpectedly, the first one to come back was actually Qiaozhi who was rarely able to return home on time in the evening.

Shortly after Fengjiu met Huo Kaixing at Chongqing Airport, Qiaozhi also arrived in Chongqing. This doctor who graduated from Xiehe and has rich clinical experience received a warm welcome. The wind is flourishing, and Huo Kaixing has always been deeply in love with Huo Kaixing.

But soon, the Great Air Battle broke out in Chongqing. The peasants in charge of the lookout could not recognize whether the Japanese Army’s newest fighter, which became famous in World War I, had an auxiliary fuel tank or a bomb on its belly, which caused the Air Force to misjudge its powerful endurance.

Huo Kaixing flew the I-16 aircraft and was ordered to fight against the enemy with his colleagues in the flight brigade in Bishan. Due to the huge difference in the performance of the aircraft, he finally turned the Bishan air battle into the most tragic air battle in the history of the War of Resistance.

Huo Kaixing parachuted after the plane was shot down, but he was already bloodied by the machine guns of the following Japanese pilots in the air.With his arms dangling, his head hanging, and a parachute tied to his body, he gradually fell in the air, which was so tragic that the common people secretly watching on the ground cried together on the spot.

Qiaozhi was notified to claim his body.She took out her handkerchief and tried to wipe his face clean, but found that only the left side of his face was intact, and it still looked peaceful and beautiful, as if he was always stubbornly guarding behind her when they were still studying in Xiehe, waiting for her. When she finally couldn't hold back and pretended to be dissatisfied and turned back to stare at him, he would smile at her blankly, his brows were vivid and dazzling, against the golden afterglow coming in through the glass window, his plump black hair seemed to be sparkling The flash is youthful, so that it gives people the illusion that he can be immortal.

Since then, Qiaozhi has become quiet and never said a word, making colleagues and friends around her feel worried—they have never married publicly, but in fact, they have already held their wedding in private, which is also a The meaning of Huo Kaixing.

She didn't cry until she saw the third sister-in-law. From then on, Qiaozhi lived in the home of her elder brother in Geleshan.

She is Feng Jiu's boudoir close friend, Ya Ya's bosom aunt, Long Sheng and Cecil's good mentor in life and studies.

In the morning, he and his sister-in-law made breakfast together, and the sister-in-law went out together affectionately arm in arm, and occasionally went to drink tea and watch movies together in their spare time. They were so close that sometimes Ning Zheng couldn't avoid being jealous of his younger sister.

Feng Jiu said unceremoniously: "You can't be jealous of this, who told you that you are not a woman." Ning Zheng was angry.

Feng Jiu was actually a little angry, and when she saw Qiaozhi coming back, she hurriedly complained to her: Kong Yongzhi actually asked Mrs. Jiang to propose marriage to Yaya on behalf of the eldest son.The former Secretary of the Treasury, who even dared to pocket the anti-war special funds allocated by the Roosevelt administration to China, has three children in his family, only one youngest daughter is still reliable, and the eldest and second daughter don’t know what reincarnation is. : The son is greedy and domineering, and loves to find a married woman. The second daughter is notorious and is always surrounded by beautiful women. It looks like she has something to do with the ancient Greek poetess Sappho.

Qiaozhi smiled and said, this is not easy, let the third brother slap the gun on his table, and he will be honest.Fengjiu thought for a while about the blue satin robe and small waistcoat that Kong Caishen's chubby body always wears. If this is the case, the little beard with two twitches would also tremble, so he laughed and said, "I refused on the spot." Mrs. Jiang was not surprised, she was probably forced by her eldest sister.I just wonder how their family can open their mouths.

She went on to say that Kong Yongzhi was from Shanxi, but he always wanted to rely on the Confucius family in Shandong. For this reason, he asked someone to find Pan Guangdan, who was good at genealogy research, and asked him to prove that he was a descendant of the Kong family.However, Professor Pan didn't sell his face, and flatly denied it: "There is no family in Shanxi who is a descendant of Zhongni." The middleman was ashamed.

However, at the same time, Feng Jiu also affirmed that Kong Caishen's 11 years of administration and finance, coordinating revenue and expenditure, and enriching the salary work, still has a lot of merit, but at the same time he did not forget to fill his own pockets, so at that time There is a joke circulating that "the front is tight, and the rear is tight".

Two years after Huo Kaixing died, Feng Jiu tried to introduce her to a new boyfriend, but Qiaozhi refused.She said: "In my life, I have had Kaixing, and I am content... We once had a daughter, but she lost it." Qiaozhi said indifferently, "I have a husband, and I want to keep festivals for him and for us. daughter mourns."

Fengjiu was shocked. Even though Qiaozhi received a new type of education, her stubbornness could even be called pedantic, and she didn't know where it came from.

"Sister-in-law, don't feel sorry for me. You see, just yesterday, I welcomed nine little angels into this world."

When Qiaozhi talked about the newborn, she immediately smiled, and Feng Jiu knew that her heart was full.

At this time, the 14-year Anti-Japanese War that began with the "September 30th Incident" is coming to an end: Japan's brains are overwhelmed by the precious oil resources. The terrible consequences of a powerful state machine running at full capacity; and China, the main battlefield, was even more exhausted in manpower and material resources, holding back 100 million Japanese troops so that they could not escape from it, allowing the US army to breathe in the Pacific battlefield.

However, Feng Jiu does not think that the United States is innocent. After all, the Japanese army has invaded China for so many years. In the three years after the "July 250 Incident" broke out, the total amount of goods exported to Japan by the United States has reached nearly one billion U.S. dollars, which is about 70.00 billion today. US dollars, of which the total value of military supplies such as pig iron, scrap steel, petroleum, aviation oil, sugar, military cans, engineer gloves, etc. accounted for as much as [-]%.The United States, which has always been isolated overseas and has always pursued isolationism, doesn't know the heinous crimes committed by Japan in China.In Feng Jiu's view, the United States should bear at least part of the responsibility for the suffering of Chinese soldiers and civilians.

This is also the reason why Feng Jiu did not feel any gratitude for the US's active aid strategy to China in the later stage, but it was just self-help: should we wait for Japan to take all of Southeast Asia, and then join forces with Germany and Italy victoriously, and finally unite? Are you trying your best to deal with the only remaining self?

On the contrary, the Soviet Union, because it was worried that Japan would go north to the Far East to fight against itself, became the only country to directly provide military assistance to China in the four years after the "July 3000th Incident", and successively sent more than [-] Soviet Air Force Volunteers to China. All parts of China participated in air battles until the Soviet-German war started.However, after the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression treaty with Japan, it also interrupted its aid to China. Therefore, it cannot rely on anyone but itself.

But Feng Jiu, like the majority of Chinese people, is full of gratitude to General Chennault's Flying Tigers: General Chennault came to China in the 26th year of the Republic of China, has been helping to train Chinese Air Force pilots, and has repeatedly lobbied the Roosevelt administration, hoping that the US Congress can pass the bill Supported China's war of resistance, but was unsuccessful until President Roosevelt secretly signed a decree agreeing to his request.

General Chennault then recruited American pilots to fight in China and formed the "Flying Tigers"—the famous and optimistic flying tiger on the plane was designed by Walt Disney, the "father of Mickey Mouse"—they then In the bombing of the Japanese Hanoi Air Force Base, the Kunming air battle has achieved impressive results, and unprecedentedly opened up the highest and most dangerous hump route in the world, which strongly supported the transportation of military supplies for the War of Resistance, and let the Chinese see the United States. The hope of participating in the war boosted the morale of the Chinese.

But to be fair, because of the short time in China, the Flying Tigers recruited personnel from the United States of varying quality and cost a lot. Their contribution to China’s War of Resistance, with their own aircraft and funds, helped China build a little bit of Professional aviation supply station and aircraft repair factory, and set up aviation schools and training bases in the northwest region, personally trained nearly 210 local Chinese pilots and ground crews, and finally there were as many as [-] Soviet volunteers who buried an Air Force pilot in a foreign country Compared with the aviation team, it is not the same.

The air raid sirens in Chongqing have not sounded for a long time, and there is no need to go into the air-raid shelters that were always full—probably due to too much investment and poor results, the enemy planes stopped two years ago The bombing of Chongqing was stopped, so Chongqing is now safe.

Fengjiu found that the children were very interesting. Although they lived in the same house and next door to each other after arriving in Chongqing, they tied a few thin ropes to the windows of the three houses, and a small bucket hung from it. Hang a small bell, write what you want to say on the note and slide it over, and then pull it back with a "jingle" after the answer, adolescent children just pass on their unique secrets and small thoughts.

Although Long Sheng has gone to college, as long as he is at home on vacation, he still enjoys playing this game with Ya Ya and Cecil.

If Fengjiu happens to be sitting in the study with the window open, sometimes "jingle bells" will ring endlessly above her head, making her hands itch, wishing she could hook the bucket with a bamboo pole and see what they are talking about .Just when she was eager to try, a pair of hands pressed her shoulders, "What's wrong?"

She turned her head, and Ning Zheng's smiling face appeared in front of her eyes.

Her man has passed the age of forty, but his shoulders are still straight, slender and straight, and a pair of black eyes are staring at her firmly, until she retracts her hands embarrassingly, and "hey" a few times in disguise.Ning Zheng touched her fourth bulging abdomen, bowed his head towards her, Feng Jiu consciously leaned forward to kiss him, and after a while asked, "You don't wonder what they talk about there every day?" ?”

"...I'm not curious. I'm more concerned about how my wife is doing today. Is the baby good?" Feeling that his wife's kiss was not to his liking, Ning Zheng had already kissed her again, and only then did Ning Zheng answer her question contentedly.Since the reunion, Ning Zheng has always cherished the time he spent with his wife, so he never paid attention to what the half-grown children were doing.

"Very good... By the way, I'll tell you something, Kong Yongzhi's family..." The couple began to talk in a hurry, occasionally mixed with a male voice who had become startled because it was about the baby girl.

The Jialing River gurgled past outside the window, and the bronze bell of Yunding Temple in Gele Mountain was suddenly struck for some reason. The pine forests in the upper ten miles are full of waves, and they inadvertently play a piece of heavenly music, which is clear and cleansing, making people feel like hearing the sounds of nature.This sound is quite similar to the bell bell and songtao that is often heard in Fengtian's hometown. How could it not suddenly arouse the homesickness of the wanderers in the distance?The couple stopped talking a long time ago, hugged quietly, and listened carefully to the voice of the Pulao Huajing from a foreign land.

A few days later, it was Sunday. Ya Ya and the others followed their mother to the nursery school early in the morning according to the old rules. After Feng Jiu left, they taught the children mathematics and Chinese according to the teaching progress, and took them up the mountain. To identify various plants, got off the horse on the way back, and was wandering on Gele Mountain at this time.

Bud Ya is singing:
"Blow the little trumpet, da di da di da.

Play the small bronze drum, get the dragon, get the dragon.

With a knife and gun in hand, charge to the battlefield haha!

Kill traitors with one knife, shoot Japan with one shot hehe!

Don't be afraid of being young, yo hoo, just be afraid of not resisting hem! "

...Long Sheng and Cecil were both happy. All the modal particles here were added by Ya Ya himself. Ya Ya is the only one who can sing any song with the taste of Feng Tian Luo Zi.

"Your voice has just recovered, stop for a while." Long was afraid that her throat, which had been inflamed a few days ago, would worsen again, so he reminded her when she was almost listening.

A while ago, Ya Ya was greedy for spicy hot pot, this authentic Northeast kid had little red bumps all over his face, and his throat was almost speechless.Feng Jiu hurriedly took her to a Chinese medicine doctor to write a prescription and boil Chinese medicine.

Probably because I was taken by my parents to travel all over the world when I was a child, tasting delicious food everywhere, and my taste buds were fully developed. Therefore, Yaya’s recipes are refined and complex, and everyone will not refuse delicious food. Of course, it must be really delicious.In other words, she is sensitive and picky about whether the ingredients are pure and the cooking skills are excellent.

I can't hide the fact that I often go to eat Maodu hot pot behind my mother's back, because she got angry and exposed her: after seeing and asking the old Chinese doctor to cut a meal, she asserted that she got angry because of eating spicy hot pot.

Yaya looks in awe at the old Chinese doctor who is obviously not young, but still has a rosy face and black hair and black beard. After just a few glances, he is even more accurate than the detective Hawthorne described by Cheng Xiaoqing, who was popular in the Republic of China?

The old Chinese doctor stroked his long beard proudly, laughed, and winked narrowly, "You like to go to '[-]' to eat hot pot, but I have met your youngest sister for three days in a row."

... When Yaya heard this, her big head drooped in frustration, and Feng Jiu laughed out loud.

Yaya was very afraid of the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine, but her mother believed in it and insisted that she drink it. "People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads." Every time they drink bitter Chinese medicine, Yaya trembles all over.

So, the two good friends were one on each side, following the old rules: Yaya took a sip of traditional Chinese medicine, gave her the name of a dish, and asked her to prescribe the medicine according to the name of the dish:

"'Crab Roe and Chicken Wing Ball'!" Long Sheng announced in a clear voice in Cantonese vernacular.This is the signature dish of the Cantonese restaurant "Da San Yuan". Ya Ya closed her eyes and took a sip of the thick black concoction.

"'Boiled cabbage'!" Cecil shouted happily in his authentic Sichuan accent. The name sounds unpopular, but in fact it is a typical Shanghebang Sichuan cuisine with extremely complicated and simple dishes.Yaya seemed to see the clear watery, extremely delicious soup of this dish before her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and took another bite.

...Just reported the names of a dozen dishes in a row, and then I gave away a small bowl of Chinese medicine.For the sake of medicinal effect, Fengjiu has never been in the habit of feeding Yaya with candied sweets, and Cecil handed over a glass of water with a wink.

"How about, let's go eat boiled cabbage now?" Yaya gargles and swallows, and then asks Longsheng flatteringly with her deer eyes shining without delay. Holding a pink and shiny face with both hands, she leaned in front of him, pretending to be cute.

The lethality of this appearance is powerful, Long Sheng looked away, afraid that he would not be able to withstand it.

He has long been appointed by the godmother as the "personal trainer" of Cecil and Yaya—although Fengjiu was completely dumbfounded by the fact that the three of them fled all the way back from the United States, but at least they arrived safely, and extraordinary measures were taken in extraordinary times In addition to being shocked, Feng Jiu also admired the 15-year-old Long Sheng's planning and adaptability along the way. Of course, he whispered to Ning Zheng in private.

Although after arriving in Chongqing, Fengjiu still punished Ya Ya, the culprit who was not happy with meat, to eat bamboo shoots for a month, Long Sheng and Cecil for half a month, and taught her by the way, "Eat vegetables to travel, do nothing and be quiet. ", say what's wrong with you who "think about it once you think about it", hurry up and eat some vegetarians to defeat the savagery.

After eating bamboo shoots for a month, Yaya said with a bitter face that he was almost turning into the black-eyed, naive "Chinese white bears" raised in Beibei Minority Park--giant pandas, but it's a pity that even if he looked at himself Covering his face with a bandanna and pretending to cry still failed, and failed to win the slightest sympathy from his mother.

But Yaya has a long memory and knows who her immediate boss is. Of course, it has been further confirmed who she should ask for help.Thinking of this, Ya Ya couldn't help scoffing at her father's various flattery behaviors in front of her mother, mourning her misfortune, and angering her for a while.Didn't he realize that sometimes he looks like a puppy trying to please his master, so he almost wags his tail.

Long Sheng noticed a wisp of black concoction hanging from Ya Ya's mouth, and he stretched out his index finger to wipe it away casually. Cecil at the side took a step back, it's a pity.

It is common sense to prohibit meat and fishy food when drinking traditional Chinese medicine.

"Go to Huayan Temple to drink orchid porridge, and eat arhat dishes." Longsheng came up with a compromise. Ya Ya's little greedy cat has been eating lightly for several days. Ingenious, pleasing and interesting Su Zhai is still possible. When the mood is good, the illness will naturally heal quickly.

Cecil raised his hands in agreement, "Then I'll add 'Erdong Baixue'!" Ever since he met Gemma's family at the age of five, he often stayed at their home to eat all kinds of Chinese food cooked by Wu Ma, and he has long been regarded as a good taste To nourish the spleen and stomach, "Erdong Baixue" is mushrooms, bamboo shoots and cabbage.

"That's fine. I want a 'three-color hibiscus'." The second-best is always the way of sprouts, and it's not bad to have a vegetarian dish made with egg whites, fungus and green vegetables.They took out the pony and ran towards Huayan Temple happily.

After eating vegetarian food, they rushed back again.

"This is—'Magnolia'!" Yaya saw a three-to-four-meter-high magnolia flower tree. Magnolia magnolia is also called purple magnolia. It is in full bloom at this season, and the clouds are steaming. The flower buds are made of red fox hair. of the pen.Long Sheng and Cecil also stood still, admiring with great interest.

Yaya took off the blooming flowers and held a big one in her hand. The pale red petals were almost transparent, delicate and weak, like a veil covering the face of a beauty. Yaya said consciously and elegantly: "Wang Mo Hey, there was a poem that said: 'The hibiscus flowers at the end of the wood bloom and fall one after another', good poetry, good poetry." Then raised his small nose and smelled it again, "It's really fragrant."

Cecil smiled and said, "There are two sentences in the middle - 'Red calyx grows in the mountains; there is no one in Jianhu', did you eat it?" After years of hard study, Cecil's Chinese skills are extraordinary. Very soon, seeing Long Sheng, who was the most knowledgeable, nodding repeatedly, Cecil became more and more complacent.

"Uh——" Yaya realized that something was missing when she recited the poem just now. At this moment, she couldn't help but lament that she was not good at learning——Yaya didn't pay attention to the ancient prose that her mother forced her to learn—— —But she can still forcefully say, "Focus on the key lines, haha, hehe, uh..."

Long Sheng has been looking at Ya Ya, his former chubby sister, but now she is too eye-catching and beautiful; he glanced at Cecil again, and the handsome Cecil gave him a tacit look—this is They have already reached a tacit understanding with the little brothers who are both enemies and friends. No matter who Yaya chooses in the future, he can't choose a man other than the two of them anyway.

Fortunately, like the godmother mentioned by her godfather, Yaya is very emotionally slow and late blooming, so she never felt that there was anything wrong with the two partners' intentional or unintentional rejection of other boys who tried to get close to her.

Cecil found that Yaya was different from the pure admiration that ordinary little girls see when they see beautiful flowers. Her big eyes radiated greedy gazes. Sure enough, Yaya's next sentence was: "Fried magnolia , it should be delicious—wrap it in a thin layer of batter, heat the oil in a wok, [-]% hot, and start frying.”

Long Sheng shook his head dumbfounded, and Cecil laughed loudly, but he remembered in his heart that sending flowers to Ya Ya in the future would not be good in appearance, but must be delicious to count.

Strangely, Aunt Audrey always sighed and said, if the second uncle in the occupied area of ​​Nanjing heard your words, he would definitely take him as a confidant.

"Ah, this is Tangdi!" Yaya reluctantly touched the magnolia tree a few times, and then saw a dwarf tree in front of it full of bright yellow flowers, which were bright and attractive.Yaya rolled her eyes and looked at it, with a look of understanding.Long Sheng and Cecil also took a closer look, and Long Sheng was more careful. Just as he was about to speak after observing, Ya Ya spoke again, "Chang Di Zhihua, E Bu Wei Wei; everyone today is like a brother."

After citing the Book of Songs, Yaya felt that the ancient Chinese language had improved, and then looked at Cecil's expression, it seemed correct.

If my mother heard it, she wouldn't be like she almost fainted a few years ago when she heard her use "swallowing dates" to describe herself, nodding triumphantly, "Changdi, that's the flower, Tangdi. Ning Ruoyu, don’t you understand? Let me explain to you, that is to say, brothers should help each other like this Tangdihua. For example, Brother Lailai and I are brothers.” After finishing speaking, She found something wrong, and reached out to caress the bright yellow petals of "Tangdi" in front of her, "Oh, that's not right, Tangdi should be strung together next to each other on the flower branch, why are they both alone?" ?”

"Then what am I?" Cecil, with a pair of bright and deep gray eyes that became more and more soul-stirring, asked with great interest. By the way, he glanced at Long Sheng, who suddenly became silent after hearing the "brother theory". .

"You, you are my friend." Yaya said briskly.

To Long Sheng's ears, these words were not right:

One is friends - friends are divided into boyfriends and girlfriends;

One is a brother - what is a brother, the same gender, equivalent to siblings.

In fact, Ya Ya was also angry: At dusk a week ago, without telling Cecil, she rode her Xiao Chuan horse to Central University alone to find Long Sheng, and wanted him to invite her to "Si Hai Chun" for supper. I saw him standing in front of their school's famous library on a hillside, "chatting and laughing happily" with a female classmate-in fact, it was just a perfunctory smile-the girl was dressed in milky white In a western-style dress, elegant and elegant, she looks up at her brother Lailai with admiration. The two of them are bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. On their heads is a cherry blossom tree that bloomed in early spring, and the petals are rustling in the mountain wind. , that scene...Anyway, Ya Ya didn't want to take a second look, turned around and went home, and then ignored Long Sheng who came home on the weekend for a few days.

It was so hard to get clear today, and the three of them came to Gele Mountain to enjoy the spring scenery together on the way home, but unexpectedly, they got into trouble again.

In my memory, this seems to be the first time that Longsheng said to Yaya with a cold face: "First, I have no brothers, and you know that I am an only son; second, this is not Tangdi flower, this is 'Ditang'. Tangdi The flowers are only pink and white, no yellow."

After finishing speaking, he rode away in Juechen, driving the little Sichuan horse out of breath.

Yaya was left with a puzzled and aggrieved face, while Cecil also sighed slightly in his heart.

The three people who went out together divided into two groups and returned home, Feng Jiu knew that this was the next quarrel - she had of course observed Ya Ya's indifference to Long Sheng, and she understood it in her heart.

In fact, Ning Zheng mentioned four years ago that he wanted to marry Long Sheng and Ya Ya—Ji Songling and him were both teachers and friends, and the couple were murdered because of him. Ya married their only son to show his apology and comfort to the old man—but Fengjiu was firmly against it, and Ning Zheng's face was very ugly for this, but Fengjiu patiently convinced him: In this new era, They should stop doing bad things with good intentions. Although Longsheng's love for Yaya is obvious, Yaya is still ignorant. If she has nothing but brotherly affection for Longsheng, then forcibly tying them together will only make them feel at the same time. Killed two people.

After Yaya came back, she glanced at her mother's protruding belly again, and felt a strange feeling in her heart—in her opinion, both mother and father are genderless people, just like Brother Lailai, who is also genderless, but Recently, one by one, they all revealed their gender.

When I was young, my mother said that she was sent by a white stork. It was my mother and father who prayed to heaven for a cute and smart baby to come to their home, so the mother sent her to her in a military satchel. Here comes.

Returning the military satchel... Ning Zheng listened to Feng Jiu insisting on combining Eastern and Western legends, plus the delivery utensils that I don't know how to describe, and talking nonsense, while Xiao Yaya looked at her mother with a face of trust, and couldn't help thinking He tugged at her sleeve from behind.Feng Jiu didn't change his face, he pulled his arm without turning his head, and refused to be a father's horizontal stick - didn't you see that he was teaching the child science.

Ning Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, and he didn't know who was making trouble.

Although the 16-year-old Yaya has already taken biology class and knows that the little doll must have nothing to do with Songzihe and Songziniangniang, but...that is someone else, not her parents. Even when she was a child, she had seen her mother's belly I bulged up twice, but I didn't know what I knew back then, so I naturally didn't think too much about it. It's different now...

When she thought that the parents who were siblings had such "excessive" behavior to have a baby again, she didn't know why, and she didn't know how to face them.

Brother Lailai too, under the cherry blossom tree of the Central University, she seemed to realize for the first time that Brother Lailai is a man, and he is a man full of charm - besides the sister of the National Chongqing University next door, there are many others Many older sisters, sisters, and even aunts who are beautiful or not, trendy or not, like him.

Yaya, who always thought life was simple, was confused by this sudden "awakening". As long as she thought of this, she didn't want to look at them more. Fortunately, Cecil seemed to be the same as before.

But when she looked up at Cecil gratefully, she found that the way this angelic Western boy looked at her was so similar to how her father often looked at his mother?Or, why do you look a lot like Brother Lailai?Ouch, life, why do you lose your will and suddenly become unrecognizable?
Feng Jiu watched from the side, lamenting his youth in his heart, but he didn't care. After a few days, Ya Ya got used to the new changes and became normal again: this is a compulsory course for the sweetest time in children's lives, and no one can replace it.They are still young and there is always a long time to learn.

Ning Zheng is entertaining Carlson, his classmate from the American military academy who was sent to China as a military attache at the Chongqing embassy in China the year before last.

The two sat casually in Ning Zheng's office, drinking coffee and chatting, "Ning, I'm quite puzzled, how can you guard your wife? There are too many beautiful girls in Chongqing." Three times rejected the request to accompany him to seek pleasure.

Ning Zheng gave him a strange look, "There is an old saying in China, 'It is better to eat a bite of a fairy peach than to eat a basket of rotten apricots'. My wife is that fairy peach."

Carlson laughed loudly, "Oh, it turns out that the appetite has increased, but it doesn't mean that I can't find other fairy peaches."

Ning Zheng shook his head helplessly, "You are also a family man, why do you dare to betray your marriage vows when you are abroad?"

Carlson said nonchalantly: "A real man just can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman."

Ning Zheng mocked with a half-smile: "Like you General MacArthur, do real men get syphilis?"

Carlson almost choked on his coffee, "You know what happened?"

Ning Zheng said slowly: "An open secret. Also, let me tell you, give up—the prey I am interested in is on my bed, who would bother to chase other prey, eh?"

Carlson raised his glass helplessly to him, "Come, pay homage to San Cyrano."

Ning Zheng didn't take it as disobedience, he accepted the sarcastic compliment calmly, and turned his head to look out the window.

It is now approaching early summer, and the water of the Yangtze River is still yellowish brown, while the water of the Jialing River has turned emerald green. After the two rivers meet at Chaotianmen, one carries the momentum of a rainbow that has traveled thousands of miles, while the other has Free and easy, after the two waters collided fiercely, they refused to give in to each other. You resisted me, and I refused to let you in. Millions of whirlpools are churning up and down at the junction. Looking down from the mountain, left and right are muddy. In the Qing Dynasty, one yellow and one green, the Wei and Wei are clearly distinguished, and they move fiercely like a wild horse splitting its mane, which is spectacular and extraordinary.

Yaya is here to pick mushrooms.Sure enough, within a few days, Long Sheng and her had reconciled as before.

What Yaya is holding in her hand is a map given by her father: The terrain of Chongqing is complex, unlike the boundary in the northeast, the east, west, north, south, north and south are very simple and clear, here is simply winding.Ning Zheng inherited a "Map of Distribution of the Most Delicious Mushrooms in Chongqing" from a colleague who had returned home early. It is non-toxic, safe and delicious, so he gave it to Yaya, who loves mushrooms.

Every time, Yaya will follow the map to find out, bypassing seven trees, six big rocks, three grasslands, a temple, and a Taoist temple. He made a lot of detours and successfully picked a lot of delicious mushrooms. When he returned home, he asked his mother and aunt to make small Chicken Stew with Mushrooms, and Cream of Mushroom Bisque.

After picking the mushrooms, Ya Ya saw the stilted buildings facing the river on three sides in the section of the Great Buddha on the opposite bank. I bought a Mobil lamp. Although this lamp lacks some aesthetic feeling, if it is used as a traditional lamp that conforms to the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty, it is also possible.

Long Sheng happened to have a classmate who lived on the south bank, so he contacted the classmate and asked Yaya to go into the stilted building to see what happened.Unexpectedly, Ya Ya is actually a "Ye Gong", and she said she likes it, but actually entered the stilted building, was touching the cypress floor soaked in tung oil, and suddenly a big black mouse, a specialty of Bashu, jumped out from under the bed, scaring her Terribly terrified, he leaped onto Longsheng's body with an "ooo", and tightly wrapped his arms around Longsheng's neck.

Long Sheng supported her in a seasoned manner, and he didn't forget to shake her twice. Their tacit understanding has been cultivated since Ya Ya was born.

Cecil's deep pearl-grey eyes dimmed every time this happened—he was obviously closer, but couldn't he beat their "baby friend"?
