Chapter 46 Hemp Candy
The Xi'an Incident has not yet been resolved, and there are a lot of voices condemning Zhang and Yang. They are like mice crossing the street, everyone is shouting and beating them.
Hu Lide and the other five people also saw from "Ta Kung Pao" that "more than 100 newspapers and news agencies across the country, including Shenbao, Ta Kung Pao, and Yishi Pao, unanimously signed the "National Press Joint Declaration on the Current Situation". This
The declaration expressed opinions on the current situation and listed three propositions: First, in this period of internal and external troubles, it is urgent to absolutely support the National Government and support all the government's internal and external principles and policies. Second, Zhang Xueliang should immediately reinstate Chiang Kai-shek as a member of the Communist Party of China.
He must be free and escorted back to Beijing safely and continue to lead the work of national salvation and rejuvenation. Third, the people of the country should support the government and put down the rebellion.
Before the Xi'an Incident, although the country was unified on the surface, in fact each warlord, each chaebol, and each force had its own territory. The newspapers on these territories also had the attributes of local forces, and were also labeled with each force overtly or covertly.
It is not uncommon for them to fight and quarrel with each other. However, a consensus was formed in such a short period of time regarding the attitude towards the Xi'an Incident. This was unexpected by Hu Lide.
Seeing this, Hu Lide said: "It seems that now Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng are really going to become the enemies of the people across the country. So many newspapers are attacking them in unison. It can also be seen how afraid the people of Li are of the endless civil war!
"Shen Shen" and "Ta Kung Pao" are the most influential and authoritative newspapers, and this is almost a joint declaration of the national press community. I really don't know how they will end it?"
"Didn't you say that ** is good? Zhang Xueliang is doing this for **'s benefit, to stop the civil war, and to pursue peace. Besides, what if the incident can be resolved peacefully?" Ye Ming was a little puzzled. In fact, Yang An and Ye Ming's relationship
Pretty much the same idea.
"Zhang and Yang are just wishful thinking. If Chairman Chiang can agree, it has been several days and the matter has not been resolved. Of course, everyone hopes that the matter in Xi'an will be resolved peacefully. However, there are so many warlords in the country and so many places.
The forces, even the Northeastern Army, are not monolithic. If something unexpected happens, the civil war will break out, and they will become the sinners of the nation. When the civil war breaks out, the Japanese will ultimately benefit." Hu Lide was worried, but his mentality was stable.
A lot.
After another two or three days of suffering, Hu Lide and the others saw the newspaper's "Nanjing 217 Magazine's Crusade against Rebellion", "Peking University Professor's Declaration on the Shaanxi Revolution (Sponsoring the Government's Crusade Order)", and Tsinghua University's
The University Professors Association issued a declaration co-drafted by Zhu Ziqing, Wen Yiduo and others. The declaration stated: "We all recognize that Zhang Xueliang's rebellion this time was a false pretense of resisting Japan, a real disaster for the country's subjugation, destruction of unity, and a flagrant crime. All our people should be punished."
We must abandon it together. In addition to telegraphing to the National Government for a swift crusade, we hope that people all over the country will unanimously advocate this. The country is very lucky."
Either they have seen too much, or they have experienced it for a few days, and their mentality has gradually calmed down. Of course, deep down in their hearts, they are looking forward to a peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident! This is also the unanimous expectation of the people across the country!
On the morning of December 1, before going out to pull the cart, Yang An asked Yu Mantun for two yuan. This child never had to spend money. Yu Mantun took out the money from the house and handed it to him, and asked curiously: "
Anyang, what do you want to do with the money?"
"I, I want to visit my father's grave tomorrow." Yang An felt a knot in his chest and paused for two breaths before saying: "The winter solstice will be in a few days. I remember my mother said that my father was here three or four days before the winter solstice.
No, maybe it’s just these two days, it’s been six years! I haven’t been to Yangzhou since I arrived.”
Yu Mantun saw the moisture in Yang An's eyes and felt the sadness on his face. He didn't know what to say, so he stepped forward and held his shoulders, and patted him twice to express his comfort.
In the morning, Yang An drove the empty car for a while. Yu Mantun saw that he was a little distracted, so he did not let him control the handlebars. Seeing that Yang An was not in good condition, he took Yang An with him at around ten o'clock.
Go to the paper shop on the roadside to buy incense, candles, paper money, firecrackers and other sacrifices. Before he came out of the paper shop, Yang An vaguely heard the familiar sound of "ding-dong, ding-dong". He followed the sound and saw that it was not far away.
There is a seller selling sesame candy with a basket on his left shoulder. He holds the basket on his left shoulder and puts his left hand forward on the pole. His right arm swings as he walks slowly step by step. The persistent hammer and blade in his hand make a rhythmic impact.
, making a crisp sound of "ding dong, ding dong".
In the early morning, when he pulled the car out of the small courtyard, Yang An's face was full of sadness. Running all the way did not drive away the sadness in his heart. The cold wind in front of him reminded him of that unforgettable night. He tried hard to restrain his sadness. From then on.
Walking into the paper shop, the silence in the shop made the sadness in his heart rise again. He once again tried to control his emotions. However, when he came out with the paper bag and heard the familiar voice, Yang An could no longer find it difficult to
Self-sustained.
The sesame candy seller had obviously already passed the paper shop, but there was no shouting or "ding-dong" in this section. Looking at the figure walking away, one could vaguely hear the sound of "ding-dong, ding-dong", as if this "ding-dong, ding-dong"
The sound came from the streets of Hankou six years ago with the cold wind.
At this moment, the sound of "ding-dong, ding-dong" hit Yang An's heart, and tears slipped quietly from his face. Yang An raised his left hand and wanted to call the man to stop, but his throat was choked and he could no longer speak. He put the sacrifice he had just bought
He placed the item at Yu Mantun's feet and ran towards the man who was walking away.
Yu Mantun looked at Yang An's running back and wanted to shout and ask, but then thought of the child's abnormal mood that day, so he gave up greeting and asking. From a distance, he watched Yang An catch up to the vendor carrying the basket.
Stop.
The salesman looked at the young man who stopped him with surprise. Seeing the tears on his face, he heard him choke and say: "Crack a piece of sesame candy." The salesman stopped his load and took away the weight pressed on the straw paper.
Stone, I saw the boy using his hand to mark a piece of sesame candy on the sieve. The salesman quickly knocked off the sesame candy. He took a piece of straw paper with one hand to wrap the sesame candy, and then asked: "I'll knock it into small pieces."
piece."
The salesman heard the sound of "no need", and then heard the sound of more than ten pennies falling into the basket. Then the piece of straw paper in his hand was also taken away. He saw the boy wrapping the sesame candy in the straw paper, and quickly
He walked away. At this time, the salesman realized that he had paid too much. The salesman was a trustworthy man and hurriedly shouted: "I paid too much."
"There's no need to look for it." The salesman saw that the boy was choked with sobs and didn't even look back, so he had no choice but to give up.
Yang An recalled that when he was a child, his father once took him to crack sesame candy. The salesman broke a large piece when he knocked it, which was bigger than Yang An's fist at the time. The greedy boy reached out and snatched the sesame candy.
Neng Kan could hold it, a small sharp point stuck out of the tiger's mouth, and stuffed it directly into the little mouth. Dad was not embarrassed, he just asked the salesman, paid, touched Yang An's head and left, sucking.
And biting a corner of the sesame candy, the softened sesame candy will be a little sticky to the teeth, and it is a bit hard to swallow. This inability to stop seems to make the eating process last longer and make the eating process more enjoyable. In the end,
After eating, my little hand was filled with sticky sugar juice, and it became delicious to suck on my fingers! Looking at my greedy appearance, my father's thin face was filled with happiness! From then on, my father never bought anything chopped into small pieces again.
Sesame candy. Yang An's gluttony and reticence caused his father to misunderstand. This beautiful misunderstanding made Yang An develop a unique eating habit of eating sesame candy.
In the distance, Yu Mantun watched Yang An wipe his eyes and cheeks with the sleeve of his left hand. He didn't know why this kid was so sad when he broke a piece of sesame candy, so that his face was covered with tears and his heart was filled with questions.
Yang An wrapped the sesame candy in straw paper, carefully held it in his right hand, and walked towards Yu Mantun. He wanted to wipe the tears on his face and tried to restrain himself, not wanting Uncle Mantun to see his sadness. But
, holding the sesame candy in his right hand, just like holding the memory of his childhood. The beauty of this memory keeps arousing the sadness in his heart, turning into tears overflowing his face!
