Chapter 374 Buying a house and encountering an uprising involving two airlines
Yanjing, Dayabao Hutong.
Xiaoyu and Xiaobai, who had practiced Chinese calligraphy with Master Shen all morning, were squatting in front of Huang Yongyu's house playing with the birds.
But it’s not so much the child teasing the bird as it is the bird teasing the child.
“Security security,”
Jiang Xiaobai lowered his head and looked at a flower magpie blocking the door: "I'm going in."
With a few clicks, a magpie standing on the threshold obediently jumped to the side.
"Come on, Xiaobao, I'll help you dig up bugs,"
Jiang Xiaoyu took a small shovel as usual and patrolled around the yard aggressively.
Behind her were Jiang Xiaobai and a little Pekingese, and the flower magpie she called "Xiaobao" was also flapping up and down in front of and behind her.
Although there is an atmosphere of unity and stability in the small courtyard now, it was not like this when Xiaoyu and Xiaobai first arrived in Yanjing.
Huang Yongyu raised this magpie named "Bao Bao", which was not originally named at all.
The reason why it was given the name "security guard" is entirely because this bird has a good habit.
I don’t know which nerve was wrong, but Huang Yongyu raised this magpie to protect the family even more than a puppy.
As long as they are strangers it has never seen before, they will block the door.
When Xiaoyu and Xiaobai came to the front door of Huang's house for the first time, this flower magpie stood on the threshold and flapped its wings.
The owner has to shout "get off" several times before it reluctantly flies to the side.
After being together for a long time, everyone became familiar with each other.
Now, we can join forces to eradicate dissidents.
"This little girl is getting more and more courageous," Huang Yongyu held his pipe in his mouth and looked at the birds and dogs in the yard with a smile: "She even dares to help Xiaobao dig the soil and catch insects."
"Well," Huang Yongyu's wife Mei Xi lazily basked in the sun: "Recently, the food of these birds in our house has been provided by small fish. Now whenever they see small fish, they all scream.
So happy."
When the old couple were chatting happily, Jiang Xiaobai ran over and jumped on Huang Yongyu.
"Grandpa, I also want a small shovel of paper."
"Quick," Huang Yongyu looked at his wife: "Quickly find one for the child."
"No more," Mei Xi said, "We only have one shovel at home. How about I go buy another one later?"
"Then there's no waiting," Huang Yongyu took Xiaobai and walked in: "Let's go, grandpa will find a high-end one."
A few minutes later, Huang Yongyu, who was holding a pipe, looked down at his feet with a squinted smile.
Not far from their feet, Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaoyu, holding a spatula in their hands, were digging hard at the soil with a puppy.
The flower magpie was moved by this scene and moved up and down on the three friends excitedly.
Seeing this, Huang Yongyu suddenly felt itchy hands and turned around and walked back to the study.
After laying out the paper and ink for a while, a very childlike Chinese gouache painting has begun to take shape.
After a while, two young girls with cat-like faces gathered around him.
"Grandpa Huang," Jiang Xiaobai stuck out his butt and leaned on the painting desk: "Is this me you drew?"
"It's us at first glance,"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu's appearance in the ink painting for the first time, his eyes were filled with laughter: "Xiaobai, look, Xiaoba has entered the painting with us!"
"There are security guards," Jiang Xiaobai's chubby fingers kept busy: "Grandpa Huang, I also want to draw."
"Children who want to draw," Grandma Meixi shouted in the yard, "come here and wash your little hands first."
"Did you hear that?" Huang Yongyu commanded: "Hurry up and wash your paws."
"Wash your paws!"
Not only Xiaoyu and Xiaobai, but also the little pug's paws were washed one by one.
"Yesterday, we learned to draw a chicken,"
Huang Yongyu thought for a while: "Today we... can draw whatever we want."
Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai painted whatever he wanted. After all three of his sister's paintings were completed, he had not finished any of them.
There was a click,
This scene happened to be captured by my second uncle who had just walked back to the courtyard.
Jiang Shan turned to look at Jiang He: "Second brother's reaction is quite good now. He can start shooting anytime and anywhere."
"Didn't I learn this from you?"
As an art editor, Jiang He is developing in an all-round way: "There is news everywhere in life, it depends on whether you can discover it."
"Third uncle~"
"Second uncle~"
When the children saw their relatives, they rushed towards them with joy.
Before Jiang Shan could reach out for a hug, he came and went in a hurry and ran back.
Even the pug behind him also adjusted the running direction of its short legs in time.
"Second brother, look," Jiang Shan was attracted by a new painting on the wall as soon as he entered the room.
Jiang He read the signature: "Xiaoyu and Xiaobai from Dayabao Hutong."
"Uncle Yongyu," Jiang Shan said decisively, "I want this painting."
"What the heck are you asking for?" Huang Yongyu hadn't finished the painting yet: "Tell me first, have you finished buying your house?"
"about there,"
As soon as he mentioned this, Jiang Shan became happy:
"As soon as we arrived this morning, the comrades from the housing management bureau enthusiastically introduced the things to note when buying a house. After we left, Uncle Shixiang took us to meet the homeowner."
"How is Zhao Luorui now?" Huang Yongyu's wife asked with concern.
"The mood is much more stable than the time I saw before,"
Wang Shixiang, who had gone home and changed her clothes, walked into the house late: "She is currently helping the publishing house translate a book."
"That's good," Mei Xi sighed and said, "That's good!"
"Did she agree to sell the house?" Huang Yongyu asked.
"I agreed without saying a word," Wang Shixiang took the glass of water from Mei Xi:
"Her brother happened to be at home today, and after hearing Xiao Jiang's quotation, he said he couldn't do it.
Seeing Jiang Shan's insistence, he proposed to give him a piece of furniture from Brother Meng's study.
Afterwards, seeing Xiao Jiang’s repeated refusal, he pulled us outside the house and explained.”
"What?" Huang Yongyu knew the reason immediately: "He is afraid that his sister will relapse after seeing things and missing people."
"You guessed it right," Jiang Shan said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I had no choice but to agree to him in the end."
"You are still aggrieved," Huang Yongyu promptly educated him: "Do you know how beautiful the furniture in Chen Meng's house is?"
"That's right," Wang Shixiang said, "When I teach you slowly in the future, you will know how beautiful it is."
"Xiao Jiang," Huang Yongyu suddenly thought of something: "Have you seen the courtyard of Zhao Luorui's family today?"
"I saw it," Jiang Shan nodded: "Her brother also led us around."
"Looks good, doesn't it?"
"It's quite good," Jiang Shan recalled the two-entry courtyard: "To say that the most beautiful time for a courtyard is spring."
"The Zhao family's house is the courtyard of the Ming Dynasty," Wang Shixiang said: "Xiao Jiang, do you know who the old gentleman is who showed you around the courtyard today?"
"I know," Jiang Shan replied, "Isn't he the brother-in-law of Chen Meng's family?"
Zhao Luorui's younger brother, Zhao Jingxin, took his childless sister back to his old home after learning that his sister was mentally ill.
At this moment, Wang Shixiang and Huang Yongyu smiled at each other: "Not only is he Chen Meng's brother-in-law, he is also a major participant in the Lianghang Uprising."
Hearing this, Jiang Shan was immediately stunned.
I really didn't expect that the old man who accompanied me to visit the courtyard house in the morning would actually be a participant in the "Two Airlines Uprising".
But compared to Jiang Shan, Yu Sigui and Jiang He obviously haven't realized anything yet.
"Two airlines uprising?"
"What is the Two Airlines Uprising?"
"Xiao Jiang," Wang Shixiang continued to ask, "do you know what the Two Airlines Uprising is?"
"You know a little bit about it."
"Then you tell me first." Wang Shixiang, who was holding a glass of water, sat down and took a breath: "I will add more later."
"The Two Airlines Uprising is about a major patriotic action that took place in 1949," Jiang Shan said.
"The two airlines here refer to China Airlines and Central Airlines of the former National Government..."
Early one morning in November 1949, as soon as a few rays of white light appeared in the sky, the runway of Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong became busy.
Just when the mechanic on duty that day started to get curious.
Suddenly, the twelve large passenger planes parked on both sides of the runway all began preparations for takeoff.
Before the mechanic could react, one of the captains asked him to "fill up the tank."
In just a moment, the mechanic immediately understood what was about to happen next.
So, he decisively said to the captain: Can you take me with you?
After obtaining the consent of the captain, a "two airlines uprising" that was about to shock the world began.
