Nanjing in summer is undoubtedly a lot of suffering.

The name of Nanjing's "furnace" is by no means in vain.

In Nanjing, in the summer, ordinary people still have to be busy going to work, sweating like rain in the factory, and working hard for the whole family.

Officials and businessmen sat in their offices, turned the fans to the highest level, and let the fan blades "hula" and turn.

If you are more elaborate, you will get a large ice cube and put it in the footbasin, so that it will blow out a cool breeze.

If you have another cup of sour plum soup with crushed ice residue at this time, it will be a fairy life.

It's a pity that this sour plum soup is not something that ordinary people can afford.

At most, ordinary people grit their teeth and bring a piece of ice cream to their children.

Like Meng Shaoyuan, who has a refrigerator at home, he put two bottles of beer and half a watermelon in the refrigerator before going out, and when he comes back, he blows the fan, drinks cold beer, and eats iced watermelon, and he may not be willing to be a big president.

After a busy day of training outside, I came home covered in stinky sweat, so I quickly took a shower and relaxed.

After a bottle of beer and a break, a little bored alone.

Lin Xuan wanted to eat Nanjing's plum blossom cake, so she took Zhu Yanni to go shopping together.

Shang Qianyi was also escorted to Chongqing.

There is no woman in the family, and it doesn't look like a home.

What are you thinking, this looks like a war is about to start, why are you still thinking about women?

Zhao Changle's home was not far from where he lived, and Meng Shaoyuan simply went out and pondered going to him for dinner.

When I arrived, I saw that almost every family had set up a small table outside the house, and everyone was eating dinner here.

They are all from the villagers, and they are very cooked, and you beckon him to come here to eat a piece of meat, and he beckons you to go there to get a piece of fish.

I don't know how lively the atmosphere is.

For men who are tired after a day's work, it is definitely necessary to drink a sip of wine to relieve fatigue.

I drank wine, smoked cigarettes, chatted, and talked about the news I didn't know where I heard it.

Meng Shaoyuan bought two large watermelons, and at a glance, he saw Zhao Changle and his next-door neighbor forming a table eating there.

Also, his daughter-in-law and children all went to Chongqing, and he was left alone in Nanjing.

"Zhao Changle."

"Ouch, Chief Meng." As soon as he saw that it was Meng Shaoyuan, Zhao Changle quickly stood up: "You seem to have come here, and you are still carrying things?" You've just eaten, haven't you? ”

Meng Shaoyuan's nose was crooked: "Zhao Changle, can you learn something good?" At this point in time, I don't make it clear that I'm here to eat? ”

"Ouch, it's up to you to be able to say that you can talk about rubbing rice so justifiably. You sit, you sit. Zhao Changle smiled and asked him to sit down: "I will introduce you, this is my neighbor Fan Haichao Fan Ge, this is his daughter-in-law Xiudi's sister-in-law." These are his two children. Brother Fan, this is my leader, Section Chief Meng. ”

"Hey, hey." Fan Haichao was much more enthusiastic than Zhao Changle, and asked his daughter-in-law to go to the house to bring dishes and chopsticks: "Drink some, eat some, it's just that there are no dishes, don't mind." ”

Zhao Changle went home and got the money: "Section Chief Meng, you and my Brother Fan eat first, and I'll go to the restaurant in Xiaoshan to fry two more dishes." ”

"Sister-in-law Xiudi, you cut the watermelon for the children."

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan said this, Fan Haichao's two children suddenly smiled.

"Section Chief Meng, you drink, you drink." Fan Haichao diligently persuaded the wine: "Changle is in the unit thanks to your care, we are like a family, he is my younger brother, I have to ask you to bother more in the future." ”

"Section Chief Meng, it's not strange for you to say it." Xiudi's sister-in-law took a plate of cut watermelon and put it in front of Meng Shaoyuan: "Changle's daughter-in-law said that she would go to Chongqing to visit relatives, how many years have our family and Lao Mu's family been neighbors, haven't you heard that Lao Mu's family has relatives in Chongqing?" ”

This is also the rule originally set by Meng Shao.

In order to avoid causing panic, evacuees always make excuses to leave.

"Yes, yes." Meng Shaoyuan said perfunctorily: "Xu is a relative of Changle. Our unit is busy with work, and Changle definitely doesn't have time to go to Chongqing so far, so he let his daughter-in-law go. ”

"Yes." Xiudi's sister-in-law nodded: "Changle is a son-in-law, maybe he has relatives in Chongqing." ”

"Section Chief Meng, I know what you and Changle do." Fan Haichao took a sip of wine: "I'll ask you about something, when I went to work today, our foreman happened to accompany the manager back from Beiping to discuss the sale." The foreman said that the Japanese ronin in Peiping killed a Chinese, and now, students in Peiping are marching in protest? ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded.

This is actually last month, Fan Haichao, this is old news.

A Japanese ronin and a Chinese from Beiping got into an argument, and the two men got into action, and the Chinese was killed.

As soon as he saw that the appointment had been made, the Japanese ronin hurriedly ran to the Japanese concession in Tianjin.

As a result, there was a wave of protests.

"You say, students, students, just go to school well, what are you doing to march and protest when you have nothing to do?" Fan Haichao sighed: "If something happens, how can it happen?" ”

Meng Shaoyuan seemed to hear something: "You have relatives in Beiping?" ”

Fan Haichao sighed.

"The eldest of their family is in Beiping." Zhao Changle came back with two pots of vegetables: "Sister-in-law Xiudi, you can't put it on the table, you go to my house and bring a small table out." ”

When Xiudi's sister-in-law entered the house, Zhao Changle said: "Brother Fan had a wife before who helped him give birth to a son, but he died in childbirth, and Xiudi's sister-in-law was married later. ”

As soon as he saw Xiudi's sister-in-law come out, Zhao Changle hurriedly didn't say anything.

Xiudi's sister-in-law put the small table down: "Changle, sneaky, aren't you talking about Lao Fan's daughter-in-law and children before?" I don't care, what are you worried about? Section Chief Meng, I am from northern Jiangsu, and later someone said that he married Lao Fan and gave birth to two sons.

Lao Fan's sister was married to Beiping, and the two of them would not have children, I gave birth to a second child that year, and his sister and brother-in-law came to Nanjing to visit us. His brother-in-law works in a government unit, and the conditions are very good, and as soon as we discussed, we passed the boss to them. ”

This kind of thing is quite frequent.

A family like Fan Haichao has to raise three sons, which is too difficult.

Let your children go to Beiping, although you are reluctant, you are also happy.

"My eldest brother and brother-in-law are very good to him, just like their own son." Zhao Changle sighed: "Originally, I said that the children who were born would be passed on to them, so that they would be raised by their own hands, dear." But my sister and brother-in-law just don't want to. I know that my eldest was fifteen years old at the time, which is the age of eating poverty, and my sister and brother-in-law are trying to help me lighten my burden, so that Xiudi and I can live more comfortably. ”

The boss also regarded Fan Haichao's sister and brother-in-law as his own father and mother, and went to college smoothly.

This would have been a good thing.

But as soon as I went to college, it didn't make people worry.

Participated in this march and that protest all day, and was arrested twice by the police.

This time Beiping is marching again, how can Fan Haichao not be worried?

"Old Fan, student, full of enthusiasm." Meng Shaoyuan didn't have much to do about such a thing: "Don't say in Beiping, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, where do students not march?" The child is too old and so far away from you that he can't take care of it. Besides, isn't there still your sister and brother-in-law? ”

Fan Haichao could only nod silently.

"Section Chief Meng." Xiudi's sister-in-law moved a small stool and sat down: "I'm a woman's family, but I just don't understand, our country is so big, I listen to others read newspapers, and it's a military parade and a new army is formed, but why do you always let the little Japanese bully it?" ”

Meng Shaoyuan felt that he had been slapped in the face.

"Sister-in-law Xiudi, I don't know how to say this to you." Meng Shaoyuan was a little helpless.

The comparison of various strengths of the country, Xiudi's sister-in-law can't figure it out.

"What's the panic?" Fan Haichao said sullenly: "That's the government letting Little Japan, our Celestial Empire be a big country, a big country, what can we do with Little Japan?" How many people are there in China? 450 million, how many people are there in Little Japan? If you really want to fight, one person will drown little Japan with a mouthful of spittle. ”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly.

If only it were that simple.

However, no matter how tense Sino-Japanese relations are, the majority of ordinary Chinese people believe in their hearts that this country is too big to lose a war.

How can I explain to them that you can't win a war by having a large number of people?

Can't explain it, it can't be explained.

"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." Zhao Changle hurriedly said: "Everyone drinks, drinks." ”

"Hey, Section Chief Meng, do you have a daughter-in-law?"

"Ah, no."

"Coincidentally, my cousin's second cousin has a daughter, who is 17 years old this year, and she looks so smart. Section Chief Meng, let me ask them to show you a photo? ”

Otherwise, let's talk about some state affairs.

This is an ordinary family in Nanjing, and it is an ordinary life.

They occasionally talk about national affairs that they don't seem to understand, and more parents are short, the son of the Zhang family has not yet married, and the daughter of the Li family has heard that she is a good matchmaker.

So much for.

But for them it is already content.

But they don't know that the pace of war is getting closer and closer.

They don't care about this.

They think the government can take care of everything.

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Brother Fan, sister-in-law Xiudi, I will discuss something with you." ”

"You say, you say."

"What's your child's name? How old is it? ”

"He, it's the second child, Fan Zhenbang, or the name that Lao Mu helped take, 14."

"Be my godson."

"What?" The two members of the Fan family were completely unprepared, and they were all confused.

"Really." Meng Shaoyuan said very seriously: "Be my godson, I don't know if you want to." It's just that I'm a little younger at this age, and it seems a little inappropriate to be a godfather. ”

"If you want to, why don't you want to." Fan Haichao was so happy that he didn't know what to do: "I was thinking about letting him go to work, Zhenbang, hurry up and kowtow to your godfather." ”

Meng Shaoyuan himself couldn't have imagined that he would come out to have a meal, and actually accepted a godson who would never be born at his age anyway.
