Chapter 31
The seven boxes of cigarettes were replaced by leather goods by Wang Wenwu before they left Zhangjiakou. Because of Manager Liu's care, Wang Wenwu's leather goods were all good leather, and he followed Manager Liu all the way back to BJ City.
Wang Wenwu had not gone to work for a long time during this trip. As soon as Wang Wenwu returned to BJ, he quickly dealt with the backlog of things. Pizi sold all the stores in Wang Wenwu's familiar shop. In the end, Pizi earned more than two hundred silver dollars in BJ.
.
After Wang Wenwu took care of everything, he rushed to Tianjin and handed over 2,800 silver dollars to Manager Qiu.
"Brother Qiu, I am lucky to live up to my command. You sold all seventy guns for forty silver dollars each. This is a money order of two thousand eight hundred yuan. Please keep it."
"Yo, yo, yo, that's too much, that's too much, you're giving too much. You're such a busy person, it's not appropriate for you not to take some."
"It's not inappropriate, it's not inappropriate. The gun was sold in Zhangjiakou. I brought the leather back and made a lot of money. The capital is all yours. I can get some more."
"Since you said that, I won't force you." "Go and see your wife quickly. She joined some kind of society. I think it's quite dangerous. I might be arrested by the police at some point. You hurry up."
Go and persuade."
"Then what does this club talk about?"
"Jinxi told me, but I didn't understand. She said that her society seeks everyone's 'self-consciousness' and 'self-determination.' I don't understand what it means."
"Okay, I'll go see Jinxi."
After having a casual meal at Guanshi Qiu's house, Wang Wenwu went directly to Zhili First Women's Normal School to find Shu Jinxi.
Wang Wenwu said: "Jinxi, how is the atmosphere in your school now?"
Shu Jinxi said: "Our school now cares about family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything. Now I have joined the Enlightenment Society, and I have different feelings every day in it. We also invited famous professors from BJ universities such as Lu Xun, Qian Xuantong, and Liu Bannong.
When I came to Tianjin to give a speech, Mr. *** also came to give a speech a few days ago. He also expressed his appreciation for the Tianjin Student Union, which is a unified organization of male and female students, and the establishment of the Awakening Club by young men and women. He also encouraged us members and young people of the Awakening Club to study countries around the world.
A revolutionary new trend of thought.”
"You are considered a revolutionary now."
"You don't object?"
"Because of what Brother Qiu said, do you think I will object?"
"Yes, but I didn't expect that you would not object to me joining the Awakening Club at all."
"Do you think the current phenomenon in Chinese society is right? I think China should not be like this in my mind, but I am not as brave as you. You know, you are 10,000 times braver than me."
Shu Jinxi hugged Wang Wenwu and said, "You are so kind. In fact, I am not as brave as you think."
Wang Wenwu said: "You are already much braver than me. Tell me, do you know about the Enlightenment Society?"
"Of course. Now everyone likes to read Mr. ***'s introduction to Marxism, his introduction to the October Revolution under the leadership of the Bolsheviks and his commentary on international current affairs after the First World War published in "New Youth", as well as
Articles about women’s liberation, and we have a very good relationship with each other.”
"What do you think of the October Revolution?"
"We believe that Bolshevism is an doctrine that represents the will of the majority of the people and embodies the rights of the majority of the people."
"You all agree with what Mr. *** wrote in New Youth. The proletarian socialist revolution with red flags flying everywhere and labor unions established one after another is the trend of world history and a great and irresistible social force. What emperor?
, nobility, warlords, bureaucracy, capitalism, capitalism, when encountering this unstoppable trend, they all fly to the ground one by one like withered yellow leaves encountering the biting autumn wind."
"Yes, we believe so. What do you think?"
"I don't think that emperors, aristocrats, warlords, bureaucrats, communists, and capitalism will all fall to the ground one by one like withered yellow leaves when they meet the biting autumn wind.*
I have also read Mr. **'s article. He said that the October Revolution was a victory for the world's working class, but how many workers are there in China? Although you may see a lot of workers, you are all in the city, warlords.
Also in the city, revolution is not that easy in China."
"I still believe that we will definitely win."
"Well, we will definitely win." "You will graduate next year, how are you preparing?"
"What are you preparing for? I missed a lot of lessons because I was born in Zhangju,"
"Is it because of confinement? Didn't you go there just a few days after school started?"
"It was only a few days ago, it's been almost a month. Besides, I sometimes have to take care of Zhang Ju, so how can I have so much time to study!"
"It's okay. It's okay if we study for one more year."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate even if I study for another year."
"How could that be? You are so smart."
"Oh, it's not you, but I have it again. What should I do? I might have to study for two more years."
"After all, it's a life. I'll let you study if you don't mind."
"Am I worried about my studies? I look at my classmates and they have graduated one by one, but I haven't graduated yet. Am I falling behind?"
"How could it be? It's not like your classmates haven't experienced that, so why would they laugh at you?"
"You know they don't!"
"Ah, they really said it!"
"Humph, what am I telling you? As long as you know, they all call me Mother Shu when I'm in the dormitory."
"Have you not even said goodbye to your dormitory family yet?"
"Both Du Mengqiao and Jin Jiayi are engaged. Sun Muen's family favors her. She said she would let her find a home by herself."
"What if Sun Muen never finds someone she likes!"
"Why should she keep looking for her? Her family has said that she will be at most twenty-two years old. After that, she will have to listen to her family's arrangements."
"I would have thought that her family would let her keep looking for her!"
"How can it be!"
After Wang Wenwu continued to chat with Shu Jinxi for a few words, they took Zhang Ju to play in Tianjin together. Zhang Ju is now a little over one year old and looks very cute in his hands. Wang Wenwu stayed in Tianjin for a few more days.
After that, he had to return to BJ to deal with the backlog of things. Wang Wenwu always thought of returning to Shu Jinxi's school during the annual vacation, but Shu Jinxi wrote a letter saying that the student union would inspect Japanese goods before the Chinese New Year and publicize the need for public support for domestic products, and he would come back before the Chinese New Year.
Wang Wenwu also wrote to Shu Jinxi, saying that you are pregnant. Going out on the streets to promote and inspect Japanese goods can easily cause conflicts with others. It would be bad if you get hurt. Besides, if the police come to arrest you, you will not be able to escape.
Wang Wenwu didn't take Shu Jinxi back until he arrived in Tianjin.
If Wang Wenwu hadn't hired someone from the Student Union to persuade him, Wang Wenwu himself might not have been able to persuade him.
