The two people who knew it well smiled inwardly and saluted; "What the military commander preached is that we must seriously reflect on it."
While the three military officers were pretending, Zhou Weiguo led Xu Hu to Jinling City on the motorcycle assigned to him by the military.
The once prosperous Jinling City is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. A large number of garbage dumps have appeared on the clean and tidy streets in the past. The large number of closed shops on both sides of the street and the sparse and panic of pedestrians have all given way.
Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to him, couldn't help but close his eyes.
He knew that Jinling City was in chaos. The rich and smart people had already seen from the government's evacuation from Wuhan that Jinling could not be defended and were heading outside the city to escape the chaos of war.
"Battal Commander, we have arrived at the Girls' Middle School." Xu Hu sent Xiao Ya here before. In addition, he was also in Jinling in the past, so he is very familiar with the route of the Girls' Middle School.
Zhou Weiguo opened his eyes and took a look. The girls' middle school was still the same as before. The aunt guarding the school gate still looked at the various people running back and forth around her with a mischievous look.
And their wary eyes, after seeing the military three-wheeled motorcycle parked on the edge of the road in front of the school, also stared at the lieutenant colonel and a lieutenant who got off the car.
But his vigilant eyes were still there. Zhou Weiguo came to one of the relatively fat aunts and said, "Auntie, can you call me your teacher Xiao Yaxiao?"
The aunt looked up and down at Zhou Weiguo, narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Who are you, Teacher Xiao?"
Zhou Weiguo put away the serious eyes he had in the military, and instead showed soft and gentle eyes: "I am her lover Zhou Weiguo."
The aunt still didn't believe it and was still looking at it. However, when he saw Zhou Weiguo's wrist, she smiled and pointed to the duty room: "You come here first, sit down and wait, I will call you right away.
"
Zhou Weiguo entered the duty room, which only had one table and one bed, and sat on the stool to wait. Xu Hu looked confused beside him.
Just now, the battalion commander clearly revealed his identity with his sister-in-law, but the tall and thick aunt still didn't trust him. However, she changed her attitude after looking at the battalion commander's hand. This didn't seem right.
"Battal Commander, how did this aunt change her attitude so quickly?" Xu Hu asked, pointing to the aunt in blue and black clothes who turned around the corner of the red brick building.
Zhou Weiguo had just noticed the spot where his aunt was staring. He raised his wrist to reveal the watch that Yamadajima had given him; "This is a pair. Your sister-in-law has exactly the same one. It is smaller than mine. It was a few months ago.
A friend gave it to me when I came back from Kyoto."
Xu Hu took two steps forward and pointed at the watch; "It's very valuable, isn't it?"
The things given by the son of the Deputy Home Minister are definitely valuable, but I really don't know how much they are worth.
"Weiguo." Xiao Ya's voice came from outside. Zhou Weiguo heard the voice and hurriedly got up and walked out of the door, which was not very wide and had paint peeling off.
Xiao Ya, who was wearing black trousers and leather shoes, a white shirt and a light sky blue suit on her upper body, with a hair tie on her head and a smile showing her dimples, was jogging over.
Zhou Weiguo also ran forward and hugged her; "Slower, what if she falls in such a hurry?"
Xiao Ya chuckled; "I heard that you are here. I guess you came to the city to do business. I was worried that it would affect you, so..." |
Nothing happened. If there was anything, it would be that today I came to take Xiao Ya out of Jiangling and go to Jiangbei, which is currently relatively safe.
Hand in hand, they walked out of the school gate and walked a few steps forward. Zhou Weiguo stopped and looked at the panicked people and the depressed streets. He stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Ya, who had been smiling ever since he saw him; "The matter has been dealt with.
?”
When Xiao Ya left, she told herself that she would come back to her after returning to school to deal with the matter. It has been so many days, and she still has not come. Zhou Weiguo decided to ask, and if the matter was taken care of, he would leave and go to Jiangbei first.
Wait for yourself. According to memory, the 74th Army is going to evacuate to Jiangbei and then participate in the Battle of Xuzhou.
Xiao Ya lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
Looking at Xiao Ya's appearance, there is no need to think that Xiao Ya didn't deal with it at all.
"Isn't it handled well?" Zhou Weiguo's calm question without anger made Xiao Ya raise her head; "Weiguo, I can't leave my students at this time, just like you can't leave your soldiers, so I didn't leave.
Almost none of the teachers in our school have left, nor have Sister Chen Yi or others."
Chen Yi didn't leave either. This shouldn't be the case. I remember that Chen Yi left with Zhang Chu and others before the battle to defend Jinling City began. However, he didn't leave this time. This makes people feel a little curious.
Already.
Forget it, forget about it. Zhou Weiguo didn't want to think about other people. Seeing Xiao Ya's uneasiness, he said: "Well, since you have made such a decision, I won't force you, but next time if I
When Xu Hu comes to find you, you must leave, do you understand?"
After hearing Zhou Weiguo's words, Xiao Ya's eyes that felt a little uneasy just returned to the smile she had seen her not long ago. She pointed to a restaurant not far away that had not yet closed; "Let's go have a meal."
Come on, we haven't had dinner together for several months."
Today, there was nothing to do. Zhou Weiguo thought about it and didn't want to let Xiao Ya's little wish go away. He said, "Let's go, let's go have a meal. It's been a long time since I felt at ease and had a good meal."
"
There was no one in the restaurant for a long time. The war was approaching, and those who could escape were fleeing. The owner of this restaurant seemed to be the kind of person who was reluctant to leave his homeland, so he had no plans to evacuate.
The restaurant that was once almost full is now deserted, with only the owner and his family sitting in front of the charcoal fire to keep warm.
"Boss, are you still cooking?" Xiao Ya's sweet voice made the shop owner look up and smile, "It's Teacher Xiao, please wait a moment."
Hand in hand with Xiao Ya, he came to a place not close to the window and sat down. Zhou Weiguo pointed at the boss who had already gotten up and went to work; "It seems that my wife is very popular. Almost everyone around here knows you."
Xiao Ya's face turned slightly red, "No, it's just that we used to come here to eat together, and the boss's daughter wanted to go to school, so I recommended her."
This girl? Zhou Weiguo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Ya in front of him. He seemed to remember something Jiang Yue once said to him.
