Age of Rebirth

Chapter 450: Tohoku Express

Walking into the gate, the yard is quiet, the gravel paved road, with many wintersweet and pine and cypress trees on both sides, in Dingbian, it is already the early winter season, but it is still green and full of vitality. Mr. Mei's habits have not changed here, and he still likes some evergreen plants.

Gently ringing the doorbell, a middle-aged woman in her 40s dressed as a servant opened the door and saw Tang Qiuli, and hurriedly shouted into the room in surprise: "Master, madam, eldest miss, it's my aunt." The master is back," Tang Qiuli knew, because he had been at Molingmei's house for many years, Mei Ting's nanny, but unexpectedly, she would follow her to Dingbian, and he gave this warm-hearted person a bright smile.

The nanny was obviously very touched. She had been in the Mei family for half her life. Although she was a servant, the whole family did not treat her as an outsider, especially this aunt, such a big official. , don't laugh and don't talk, don't mention respecting yourself more, it's a blessing that I cultivated in my life.

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps in the room. Mr. Mei and Mrs. Mei, followed by Mei Ting, all greeted him. The old man kept looking at Tang Qiuli, as if to see if he was missing anything?The eyes are full of appreciation. [

In the eyes of Mei Ting's father, when he decided to marry his daughter to him, it was a big decision. He is also grateful for his decision at the time. My uncle is now a famous figure throughout the country, but he can't see it. The child's self-confidence, or the high-spirited superficiality of young people, has become more and more calm.

Standing in a mighty general's uniform, standing in the living room, as quiet as a pavilion, with the demeanor of a general, the more the old man looked more satisfied, he hurried forward to hold Tang Qiuli's hand. In terms of temperament, her daughter's attire is completely different from when she was wearing a military uniform, as if she is a female college student who has just entered school, fresh and refined.

As soon as Tang Qiuli entered the door, he could smell the tempting aroma of the food. At noon, in the big restaurant of the city government, he was patronizing to listen to Liu Hanzhang's report. He swallowed loudly, and laughed loudly next to his father-in-law. This son-in-law is not a hypocritical person, and he is very good at his temper.

He hurriedly shouted: "Mother Liu, serve the food quickly and bring that bottle of good wine. I'm going to have a few drinks with Qiuli tonight, and I won't return if I don't get drunk!" The mother-in-law glared at the old man, "Wait a little longer There will be hungry people, Xueer and Linger have called, and their headmaster gave special permission to go home, and they will be home soon!" The old man was full of joy, accepted the old lady's criticism, and said apologetically to Tang Qiu Li said: "Then wait a little longer?" He quickly agreed and chatted with the old man there.

In less than ten minutes, the doorbell rang, and it was Mei Xue and Mei Ling. Jiang Baili was a very sensible person, and he knew that it was not easy for Tang Qiuli to go back to Dingbian. Soldiers who have been fighting all year round longed for the warmth and atmosphere of their families the most. Therefore, the two of them were specially approved to go home, otherwise, the students would not be able to leave the gate without President Jiang's personal instructions.

When Mei Xue and Mei Ling saw Tang Qiuli, they immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, teacher!" Tang Qiuli hurriedly told them to relax. At home, they don't need to do this, Mei Linghan smiled and touched his head: "Brother-in-law, you don't know , after you left, our classmates almost ate me up, so I had to tell you your story, how would I know! It’s hard to get away,” After finishing speaking, he smiled proudly, as Tang Qiuli As a brother-in-law, he felt more honored.

Contrary to Mei Ling, Mei Xue didn't say anything, the spark of joy in her eyes flashed, and then quickly extinguished, because she saw her sister happily holding his hand, and she just glanced at Tang Qiuli, not knowing why She never called Tang Qiuli brother-in-law, did she reject this title from the bottom of her heart?Or is it another idea, Mei Xue just feels that this way of calling will draw a clear boundary with him, and everyone's role will be fixed, which is not what Mei Xue likes.

Tang Qiuli also noticed this problem. Mei Xue, a girl, had never called him brother-in-law. He thought that he was the same age as Mei Xue. After rigorous military training, he has lost a lot of weakness, and his gestures have become more sassy, ​​and his figure has become more outstanding.

The meal was enjoyable, the whole family gathered together, chatting and laughing casually, the old lady’s Nanjing cuisine was very authentic, Tang Qiuli had a big appetite, Mei Ting and her mother-in-law kept picking up dishes for him, The old lady likes this uncle more and more from the bottom of her heart. He is in a high position, but he has no airs and no character. From the look and happiness on his daughter's face, the old lady can tell that her daughter is falling out now. It's in the honeypot.

This is the second daughter, who is also a girl in her early twenties, and I haven't heard her say that she has a favorite, so the topic naturally turns to Mei Xue, "Xue Er, your brother is still young, so he is worried about you now. Mom also brought back a young man, just like your sister." The old lady said in a rambling manner.

Mei Xue's face darkened, she didn't answer, she just lowered her head to eat the food, Mei Ting hurriedly said: "Mom, look at you! Xiaoxue is still in school now, and she is not very old. Don't worry, she will be satisfied sooner or later, right? Xiaoxue? Finally got the old lady off topic, and then talked about other things.

Everyone didn't notice Mei Xue's eyes, it was a kind of inner struggle, the man I liked was right in front of me, but he belonged to my sister, maybe, I let my mother down in this life, except him, there is no man who occupies my daughter's heart .

Only Tang Qiuli, with the sensitivity of a young man, vaguely felt that Mei Xue's mood was not normal, and the look in his eyes was not that normal. This kind of thought shocked him a lot, and he looked at everyone with a guilty conscience. It happened that Mei Xue also looked at him, and the spark in his eyes flashed, which instantly burned Tang Qiuli's heart.

After eating, sitting in the living room, outside is the cold evening wind in the early winter of the northwest, Tang Qiuli told me what happened after leaving Moling, talking about the bloody battles with the Japanese in Pingjin and Shanhaiguan , the duel in Baoding, the bloody battle scenes outside Shanghai, the soldiers who fell under the guns of the Japanese, the young soldiers whose bodies were torn apart by the Japanese guns, and the villages and towns that were razed to the ground by the Japanese planes. His eyes were dim, and his voice seemed to come from outside the sky.

He also said that the Japanese had been killed and their corpses were strewn all over the field, their blood flowed freely, and they ran away with their heads in their hands. His voice became aroused. As the old man listened, he sometimes praised and sighed at the same time. On the night of early winter, the whole family sat around and talked about This war affects the whole nation, and he is an important person who can control the situation in this war. Tang Qiuli has a sense of wandering, but some things that have been pent up in his heart are completely released, and his whole body is full of pain. easy.

It was late at night, and everyone talked more intensely. Mei Ling's face was full of fascination, and the scene of the flames of war described by his brother-in-law made this young man excited. He wished he could graduate early, follow Tang Qiuli around, and fight the Japanese on the battlefield. High or low, he and his classmates all applied for the military academy with the purpose of going to the battlefield and fighting against the invaders. The young hearts have never cooled down, and they set aside to stay away from the battlefield, but in their noses, it seems that There is a faint smell of gunpowder.

Two women with the same beauty but different temperaments watched Tang Qiuli who seemed to be talking about other people's affairs with the same eyes. Mei Ting was surprised to find that her husband showed a unique personality in this atmosphere. Temperament, it seems that standing in the future, looking at the current war, and the ending, just as he expected, gives people infinite confidence and courage.

I have personally experienced every battle, but from what he said, Mei Xue has a deeper understanding, this is the best man, God favors, let me have him, Mei Ting saw another side of her husband, a wise man ?King?It's all, it seems that it's not, or both, she is ecstatic, so happy that she wants to cry.

Mei Xue had a different feeling, she seemed to be floating among the clouds, Tang Qiuli's voice seemed to come from outside the sky, she heard it clearly, and once again gently touched her heartstrings, that kind of war-torn voice The scene also shocked Mei Xue, but she was more proud in her heart. All of this was created by her beloved man. Now Mei Xue just wants to be by his side every day, and she has no other extravagant wishes. It's enough to be able to smell his man's majestic breath! [

A hasty knock on the door broke the atmosphere. Tang Qiuli woke up from the state of forgetting things and me. Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Department of the Independent Division, hurried in. He first smiled apologetically at everyone, and then put A top-secret telegram was handed over to Tang Qiuli.

From Yu Deshui's expression, Tang Qiuli instinctively felt that this telegram was unusual, otherwise, with Yu Deshui's calmness, he would not behave like this, nor would he come to his father-in-law's house late at night to disturb him.

The three red "" on the draft of the telegram are particularly eye-catching, which represent the top secret, "Master, as far as I know, the second and third detachments of our special operations detachment, and the first, third and fourth detachments of the special guards, totaling more than 23 people, were On September [-], we successfully sneaked into the Northeast. Because the Japanese were very strict in the Northeast and implemented the system of Baojia and Lianzao, the deeper we went into the hinterland of the Northeast, the more difficulties there were. On October [-], our troops entered the deep mountains near Tangjiawopu , hide and stand by."

"I sneaked into the house alone, and after discussing with my uncle and others, I split up the work of the villagers. However, the homeland was hard to leave, and the villagers did not feel that the danger was approaching, so the progress was slow. Later, after receiving information, the Japanese had already checked into Tang's nest shop. Mijia Town is not far away, and the Japanese don’t trust the Chinese. Every team is led by a Japanese to check the household registration, and they also receive information from the Qiqihar Information Station in Northern Manchuria. There are already several villages surnamed Tang in the local area. Overnight, all the villagers disappeared collectively, and their relatives searched in many ways, but there was no news."
