"Gardenia, white orchid."
"Buy one of the gardenias and white orchids in two cents of a glutinous rice."
Sanni was carrying a bamboo basket and selling along the street on this street on Honolulu Road.
The sensible Douzai followed her mother and shouted, "Gardenia, white orchid."
Occasionally, pedestrians will stop and buy flowers.
The best sold is the white orchid.
I bought one and it will be blocked on my chest.
If you have generous things, you will buy a bunch of fresh and moist white orchids, wrap them carefully with a handkerchief, put them in the buttons of the big-collar shirt, and place them close to your body under your armpit.
The fragrance can be smelled, but the flowers cannot be seen.
"Gardenia, white orchid." After shouting, Sanni took a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her eyes looked at the telegraph hall diagonally opposite.
The staff of the Telegraph Department, Nursery, is a comrade of our party.
The task of this comrade is not to pay attention to the people who come to make the call, but to those calls that come in.
Maybe hundreds of calls that came in were normal, but what he was waiting for was the unusual call.
...
Ding ding ding , the phone rings.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" Miao Pu picked up the microphone, ate melon seeds in her mouth, crossed her legs, and asked casually.
"Hello, I'll look for the man I just called."
"There are so many men calling. I know which one are you talking about?" Miao Pu said angrily.
"He was wearing a black suit, a yellow tie, a middle-parted head, and gold-rimmed glasses, and two pens were inserted into his pocket."
"What are you asking him for?" Miao Pu's heart tightened, and he spitted the skin of melon seeds in his mouth, and asked lazily.
"I am his cousin. Boss Qian, whom he asked me to ask for, couldn't come. He drank fake wine and went to the hospital."
"I understand. If that person comes again, I will tell you." After that, Miao Pu hung up the phone with a click.
She picked up a bundle of white paper strips tied with a rope hanging beside her, tore off one, glanced around, saw that no one came, quickly wrote a sentence with a pencil, then rolled up the paper strips and put them into the melon seed skin she had knocked.
Then, slowly picked up a wooden board and hung it outside. The board said: If something happens, I will not be there temporarily.
At the same time, pick up the water cup that is placed inside the table and cannot be seen outside, take a sip of water, and then put it in the middle of the table, which can be seen outside.
Sanni, who had been paying attention to this side, changed her expression, bent down, and patted her son three times in a row on her shoulder.
On this side, the nursery took the dustpan and poured the melon seed skin he had knocked into the corner.
Then she saw a little boy running over and picking it up in the melon seeds.
"Little slut, after eating my saliva, my stomach hurts." Miao Pu cursed, spitted on the ground, and walked back cursingly.
No one noticed that the beans who were squatting and rummaging through the melon seed shells were found in a very concealed manner, and put them in their pockets with a handful of melon seed shells, and ran away happily.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"I'll eat later. The business here is not good. Mom will take you to another place." Sanni said, holding her son's hand and shouting 'Gardenia, white orchid' while walking away.
...
Masi South Road.
Peng and Ou’s home.
Ma Shao is cleaning the room.
She looked at the clock and yawned.
At this moment, Ma Shao heard a hawking sound from outside:
White orchids, gardenias!
Ma Shao's heart tightened and something happened.
Normally, Sanni should be shouting, "Gardenia, white orchid."
This means there is nothing to do and everything is safe.
When Sanni shouts "White orchid, gardenia", it means something is wrong, or there is important information to be conveyed.
Ma Shao picked up the vegetable basket casually and opened the door and went out.
But he returned and put down the basket.
It's only 10:30 am now, and she always goes to buy groceries after lunch.
It is an abnormal behavior to take a vegetable basket out now.
Ma Shao pushed open the door and pretended to tidy up the flower pot at the door.
"White orchids, gardenias." Sanni continued to hawk.
"White orchids, gardenias." Douzai shouted with her mother.
"How much does it cost for flowers sellers?" Shao Ma waved.
"Buy one of the gardenias and white orchids in two cents of a rice dumpling." Douzai shouted in front of her mother.
"This kid is so gratifying." Shao Ma touched the child's head with love and took out a dime, "Give it a bunch."
"Thank you, thank you, kind-hearted person, the Bodhisattva bless you." Sanni thanked repeatedly and handed over a string of white orchids.
While taking the white orchid, Shao Ma held the note that Sanni had handed over to her palm.
"Buy one of the gardenias and white orchids in two cents." Sanni continued to hawk along the street with a basket on her shoulder.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Mom will buy you steamed buns."
A conversation between the mother and son came from outside the door.
Ma Shao quickly opened the note to look, and her face changed drastically.
She rolled up the note again and then pulled out the hairpin.
She carefully stuffed the note in the hairpin, twisted it, and put it on again.
Afterwards, Shao Ma came to the second floor and put in the clothes dried on the second floor, and also put in the bamboo pole for drying clothes.
He took out a worn-out red cloth strip and tied it to the bamboo pole, and put the bamboo pole back outside again.
The signal sent by this bamboo pole with a ragged cloth strip is:
Something happened, it’s dangerous, don’t get close!
After doing all this, Shao Ma hurried out, called a rickshaw and headed straight for National Fudan University.
...
Peng Yuou, a professor in the Department of Chinese Language at National Fudan University, is in class.
Peng Yuou wore a long gown, with his hands behind his back, writing on the blackboard with his right hand, and holding a cigarette in his left hand. The cigarette was burning, and the ashes were about to fall.
"This passage from "Zuo Zhuan: Battle of the Dragon"." Peng and Ou turned around, put the remaining chalk tips on the table, and pointed to the passage he wrote to ask the students.
"The teacher's ears and eyes are on my flag and drums, and he will follow him. This car is a man in the palace and can gather things. If he is sick, he will defeat the king. If he is sick, he will die immediately. If he is sick, his son will encourage him."
"Who will explain what this sentence means?" Peng Yuou asked with a smile.
"Teacher Peng, I'll do it." A young male student said loudly.
"Student Hou Zhongguo, please speak." Peng Yuou nodded.
"This is what Jie Zhang said to the Duke of Qi to fight to the death. He said that the army's ears and eyes were concentrated on our battle flags and drums, and we must obey him when we advance and retreat!"
"As long as there is one person guarding this car, the war will be successful."
"How can the great affairs of the National Army be ruined because of the pain?"
"Wearing armor and holding weapons in your hands, you have already acknowledged your determination to die. The pain will not kill anyone. So, monarch, please order a death battle!"
"It's very good." Peng Yuou nodded, "Please sit down, do you have any classmates to tell me about their understanding of this passage?"
"I'll do it." A female classmate with short hair with a thirsty figure stood up and said.
"The meaning of this passage is that as long as there is still a breath and as long as there is still one person alive, we will continue to fight. As long as everyone has the will of death, no one can enslave us!"
As he said that, the female classmate paused and raised her arms, "Students, compatriots! The Chinese nation has reached the most difficult time. The Japanese invaders invaded our country and killed our compatriots. What should we do?"
"Down with Japanese imperialism! Swear to be a slave to the destruction of the country!"
"Stop the civil war and unite to the outside world!"
"Fight to death! Fight to death! If you don't be a slave to the destruction, you can only die!"
The students stood up one after another and shouted in unison.
Chapter completed!
