"Old Dong, what you say is wrong. What do you do? You are revolutionaries. Who are you doing the revolution with the spirit of martyrs? It's not just for the common people of the country. I am included in this. From now on
There are also my descendants, and maybe my descendants will all enjoy the blessings of you people." Lu Ming said emotionally.
Although Lu Ming did not dare to say whether the Communist Party, which was still very weak now, would become strong in the future and eventually seize power across the country and establish a new China, he had no doubts about the spirit of these revolutionaries.
He felt that since he met Mr. Dong, he had slowly accumulated this spirit, so he would try his best to meet all the requests made by Mr. Dong.
Lu Ming even vaguely felt that he was not only helping Mr. Dong, but also helping himself.
Because he felt in his heart that this spiritual direction might be the only way for China to become stronger.
I think the Kuomintang also carried out the revolution with this martyr spirit. They overthrew the Qing Dynasty, defeated warlords one after another, and established the Republic of China.
Unfortunately, in this process, too many people have become corrupted, and too many people have become new warlords who have separatist power due to internal power struggles.
It can be said that the Kuomintang's revolution was only half successful and was not completely completed. The Kuomintang urgently needed a second revolution, which was to eradicate the separatist forces in various places and truly complete the unification of the country's military power, administrative power, and judicial and legislative power.
Regrettably, it now seems that the Kuomintang central government is no longer capable of carrying out such a revolution, and is decaying internally.
"Mr. Dong, since you have approved the marriage, when will the wedding ceremony be held?" Lu Ming suddenly remembered and asked.
"Why do we still need to hold a wedding ceremony? Isn't this inappropriate? We have already announced to the public that we are a couple." Old Dong said.
"What's the matter? Just say that you used to have old-fashioned weddings. Now it's a new era. You want to have a new-era wedding. By the way, for the sake of your status, you also need to apply for a marriage certificate at the city hall. I will arrange these.
I will organize a glorious wedding for you. From now on, you will claim that An Yi is my cousin and you are my cousin-in-law, which will add a layer of protection to your identities."
Mr. Dong looked at Lu Ming gratefully and nodded. This was the best gift Lu Ming had given them.
Why doesn't he want to give An Yi a beautiful wedding? He wants it too. After all, life is only once in a lifetime. Of course it's okay if it's a hasty one. After all, it's a special situation in a special environment. But if he can hold a decent wedding, why not?
Not for that.
Mr. Dong walked over happily, picked up An Yi, and the two of them walked away muttering.
Lu Ming was also happy for these two people. He didn't care about An Yi's malicious speculation about him. It was a normal reaction of a communist.
The reason why Mr. Dong did not doubt himself was because the two of them had been dating for a long time, and there was a key event that connected them, that is, Lu Ming took the risk and helped Mr. Dong get the seized ship of arms.
.
After Lu Ming returned to the house, he called Mingzhu and asked her to come over tomorrow and take Mr. Dong and Anyi to a French fashion store on Nanjing Road to order clothes and to pick out some jewelry and cosmetics for Anyi.
"They are all bought for other people, why don't they have mine?" Mingzhu said deliberately pretending to be unhappy.
"Can you like those things on Nanjing Road? Didn't you order a batch of clothes and jewelry from France last month?" Lu Ming said.
"I'm kidding you, I have too many clothes and I don't even need to buy them. Why did you come back and didn't say you came to see me?" Mingzhu said unhappily. This time she was really unhappy.
"Let me tell you, before I could get back on my feet, I got caught up in something. As a result, I haven't finished my work yet," Lu Ming explained.
"You are always busy and doing other people's things, so my things are no longer a problem." Mingzhu complained.
"What's the matter with you?" Lu Ming was stunned. He hadn't heard about it. If something happened, Yuan Ziyuan would definitely tell him as soon as possible.
"Is it okay that I miss you?" Mingzhu said and hung up the phone.
When Lu Ming heard that he felt bad, he didn't bother to rest, so he hurried down and drove to Yuan Mingzhu to apologize.
Yuan Mingzhu rarely lost her temper, but once she did, she was not easy to coax. Lu Ming did not dare to be careless.
He himself felt guilty about Mingzhu. Even though he said Mr. Dong did the same thing, he himself was not very good at it.
Mr. Dong had money in his pocket, so he confidently took An Yi to a relatively high-end Hunan restaurant. Looking at the beautifully decorated facade, An Yi stood still and looked at it.
"Ten yuan is not enough for a meal here. We can't go in and ask for two glasses of boiled water, right?" An Yi hesitated.
"You don't have to worry about money." Mr. Dong forced An Yi in.
This was on the street, and An Yi couldn't argue with him, so she had to follow him in. The two of them asked for a private room, and then Mr. Dong ordered some dishes, which were close to the Wuhan taste, and also ordered a
Bottle of red wine.
Hunan and Hubei are originally the same region, and their tastes are relatively similar, which is why Mr. Dong chose this Hunan restaurant.
"You ordered so much, what do you pay with?"
Mr. Dong took out the stack of banknotes and handed them to An Yi: "I give them all to you. You will be responsible for settling the bill later."
"Why so much money? Did Lu Ming give it to you?" An Yi said in surprise and joy.
"Yes, he said this is my ten months' salary, and from now on I will be given five hundred yuan a month." Mr. Dong said happily.
"Is five hundred yuan a month too much? Our military commanders don't even have such a high salary." An Yi began to frown again.
"I said the same thing, but what Lu Ming said makes sense."
Mr. Dong told An Yi what Lu Ming said. It was nothing more than living in Wanguo Apartment, which must be consistent with the grade of this building, not wearing too shabby clothes, not being too frugal in life, etc.
"According to what he said, it costs five hundred yuan. But we didn't do anything for him, so it's embarrassing to just take other people's money." An Yi said with a bitter smile.
"Lu Ming said, we are fighting for the people of the country, including him, and it is also related to the happiness of his descendants." Mr. Dong paraphrased Lu Ming's words and said.
"Lu Ming is not afraid that we will revolutionize his life in the future? He is a descendant of the big bourgeoisie and the spokesperson of the big capitalists." An Yi said half-truthfully.
Mr. Dong whispered: "Progressive capitalists are also the object of party unity. Don't we also have many comrades who come from big capitalists and big landlord families? Many of them are senior cadres."
"Well, what you said makes sense. The revolution has no priority or origin, right?" An Yi finally felt relieved. Accepting all kinds of support from Lu Ming did not violate organizational disciplines.
"Strictly speaking, the two of us are not ordinary working class people. We are from peasant class families. After testing, didn't the organization also accept us?"
Mr. Dong's father was a big landowner in his hometown. He didn't know what An Yi's background was, but he certainly didn't come from a poor working-class family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to attend a higher women's normal school.
"Are you saying that he also wants to actively participate in our cause?" An Yi asked a little excitedly.
"Whether he wants to do it or not, in fact, he has already done it, and has done it a lot, and he has done it very successfully. We should actively encourage him and help him build up the confidence that the revolution will win." Mr. Dong sighed with emotion.
road.
An Yi nodded. If Lu Ming treats them sincerely, then it can be said that Lu Ming has done a lot of work for their career, and it is work that cannot be replaced by others.
Mr. Dong also said that Lu Ming wanted to buy them clothes and hold a beautiful wedding for them.
An Yi just nodded after hearing this, but she was very happy in her heart. As a girl, who doesn't want to marry in a glamorous manner? As for beautiful clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics that can make herself more beautiful, what girl is not tempted?
I didn't want these things before, just because I didn't have the conditions. Of course, for people like them, the enjoyment of life will only happen after the revolution is successful.
"Then you say that if our revolution succeeds in the future, will we revolutionize the lives of people like Lu Ming?" An Yi suddenly thought of a question.
"Of course there will be no revolution. Lu Ming is already our comrade and our fellow-traveler. Haven't we formulated preferential treatment policies for the generals of the Kuomintang who have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, let alone comrades like Lu Ming who have contributed to the revolution."
Mr. Dong is obviously clearer about the party's policies than An Yi, and he speaks clearly and logically.
