Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

"Why? Didn't you want to die by not looking for that Chen Shimei? Why are you going there again now?" Wang Tianchang asked.

"Yes! Why don't you go? Why?" the Queen Mother also asked.

On the side, Wang Yue also looked at Li Kangri cautiously, as if he wanted to know why.

"Well, you decide on the anti-Japanese war!" Li Xingye passed the buck.

"It's like this, I suddenly figured it out, why should he get such a good deal? It's not easy for my mother to raise us all these years, I have to ask for some compensation from her, and by the way, ask him to arrange a job for me in Sijiu City, and then we will all go there when the time comes. It would be a waste if we didn't use such a high-ranking official position!" Li Kangri explained.

"Well, it's about fighting the Japanese! Can't we just live a good life here? In my opinion, stop making trouble and forget it!" said Wang Tianchang.

"Uncle Wang, I don't have any connections here. I think it's better to go over there. With his connections, Qinghe and Yue'er can also find jobs. People in the city also have public grain! Life will be better there." Li Kangri deceived.

In fact, he just wanted to go to Beijing. After all, it was the capital, and he also wanted to see what the capital looked like decades ago.

"What you said makes sense, but Yue'er is still half a year away from turning eighteen! I'm a little worried about you going alone. What do you think, Yue'er?" Wang Tianchang looked at his daughter meaningfully and said.

He was afraid that his daughter would be abandoned. Big cities are places where people get lost. Didn't you see that Chen Shimei got lost like that? Now this future son-in-law is Chen Shimei's seed! Who can say? He doesn't want his daughter to be the third Qin Xianglian.

Seeing the look in her father's eyes, Wang Yue knew everything in her heart, but she was not afraid. She felt that Li Kangri would not abandon her.

"Dad, what are you thinking about! I support the anti-Japanese brother!" Wang Yue said.

"Hey, you heartless person, I don't care. Anyway, you are the one who found the person. I don't care whether he is good or bad. Just stop asking me to die." Wang Tianchang said.

"My dear relatives, don't worry. I know my son. He won't do that. Besides, he went there first to scout the way, and Qinghe will go there right after him. Qinghe will see that he won't do that. If he dares to learn from his father, I will die in front of him." Wang Shuixiang said.

"Oh, what do you think of me? The person I hate the most is Chen Shimei. Don't worry, I will only look for Yue'er in this life. She is the one who died for me." Li Kangri said helplessly.

"That's good. If you dare to let my daughter down, I, I..."

"Dad, what are you talking about? I believe in Kangri Ge. Anyway, I am her person in life and her ghost in death. I will stick to him all my life." Wang Yue said.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this. Tianchang has settled the matter. We will hold a banquet for them in half a year! What do you think?" Li Xingye said.

"Uncle, do I have the right to speak? Hey! My heart is all on your grandson, I am willing to die, so let it be!"

……

The next day, Li Kangri deliberately put on his clothes with the most patches and put a piece of white wool on his head. This is the safest look now. After all, the poorer the more glorious!

"Anti-Japanese, why don't you wear your school clothes? What are you doing out here wearing this?"

At the door, Wang Shuixiang saw her son's outfit and asked in surprise.

"What's wrong with this outfit? I think it's good. It keeps thieves away from me when I go out. I'll change it when I get to the city! There are all kinds of people on the train."

"Yes, your grandfather is waiting for you in the house, go over quickly."

"Hey, okay!"

When we arrived at the main room, Li Xingye was counting money. He kept swiping the stack of banknotes in his hand, and put his fingers in his mouth to dip them in saliva while counting.

Seeing this, Li Kangri smiled helplessly. He was very familiar with this technique on TV, but it was the first time he saw it in real life.

Seeing Li Kangri coming in, Li Xingye simply gave up counting and handed all the money to Li Kangri, "Kangri, this is the only money in the family, plus the one hundred yuan sent by your Chen Shimei, the total is one hundred and thirty-two yuan, you can take it all!"

After receiving the money, Li Kangri took out two big black tens and put the rest on the table and said, "Grandpa, I'll just take twenty, and leave the rest at home for you. I'm going to see a high-ranking official, so a train ticket is enough. Can I not get a meal at his house?"

"This, forget it or take it! What if you can't find him? And what if he doesn't recognize you? Take it! Poor family, rich road, good mother at home, good money when you go out, just be obedient and take it!"

As he spoke, Li Xingye picked up the money on the table and was about to put it into Li Kangri's hand.

"Grandpa, that's enough. How much is the train ticket? If you don't recognize me and come back immediately, it will be inconvenient to carry so much money, right? It would be bad if it was picked up by a pickpocket!" Li Kangri refused.

Seeing that Li Kangri refused again, Li Xingye counted out a pile of banknotes and said, "Okay, take these change and put them outside, and put the two big ones in the pocket your mother sewed for you!"

"All right!"

Li Kangri took the banknote and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he unbuckled his belt and made a fake move, and the money instantly went into the map of mountains and rivers and the country.

"These few kilograms of sorghum rice are newly harvested this year. Take them to that bastard."

"Grandpa, you still have to take care of him! Don't you deny that bastard?" Li Kangri asked with a smile.

"Hey! Even if you don't recognize him, he is still my child! You can't call him a bastard, or others will laugh at you." Li Xingye sighed.

Although he said that, he was thinking about it in his heart! He had two sons, and only one was left. How could he not miss him?

"Haha, okay, I'll still call myself Chen Shimei!" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Come on, Grandpa has harnessed the donkey cart and will take you to the station right away."

After going out, they said goodbye to the three people who were reluctant to leave, and the grandfather and grandson drove the donkey cart towards the bus station in the town.

Just when the grandfather and grandson walked a long way away, a beautiful figure from afar behind the donkey cart waved goodbye to him.

Seeing that it was Yue'er, Li Kangri also waved his hand, "Yue'er, wait for me, I will definitely come back early to marry you!"
