Forty-eighth: Gifts!
On April 25, 1936, the 10th joint military exercise of the Whampoa Military Academy, which lasted three days and four nights, officially ended with the victory of the East Army.
After the exercise, Zhang Xinghan and the students returned to the military academy to rest beautifully for a day. For several days, they had almost never slept well. Every day they were worried about the sudden attack of the Western Army. Fortunately, their hard work and efforts were not in vain. In the end, the Eastern Army won and became the only one to defeat the teaching corps in previous exercises.
The heroes of this exercise, Zhang Xinghan and others, have greatly improved their popularity and prestige among the students of the same class. In addition, Zhang Xinghan was the anti-Japanese hero who killed a major general in the Xifengkou War of Resistance, and everyone admired him even more.
After this exercise, the students' admiration for Zhang Xinghan became stronger. They went to the 206 dormitory to chat with Zhang Xinghan every day, and talked about the future students in a constant stream.
Facing the enthusiastic classmates, Zhang Xinghan was not easy to refuse. Although he knew that some of these students wanted to flatter and some really admired them, none of them was important. What was important was that Zhang Xinghan needed influence, so he naturally started with the backbone and backbone of the various troops of the National Revolutionary Army in the future. In the current turbulent times, multiple friends are always better than multiple enemies.
In particular, in the face of the upcoming national anti-Japanese war, talk to them more, and Zhang Xinghan can instill more patriotic ideas in them, strengthen their determination and confidence to defend their country and drive out foreign humiliation.
In this way, three days later, Zhang Xinghan had time to go out. Since the tenth class students' studies and courses had been basically completed, before the graduation ceremony, the remaining time for the tenth class was holiday time except for some essential physical training classes.
Zhang Xinghan did not go out to drink with Zhao Desheng and the others, but went out alone to the streets. He planned to pick a gift for Du Qianxue to give to her. After all, the two of them had known each other for so long, and they had not even given a decent gift.
Since the exercise, Zhang Xinghan hasn't seen Du Qianxue for more than a week. When Zhang Xinghan remembered the two of them's agreement to get married after graduation, he couldn't help but feel warm.
When I traveled through this time, the country was in turmoil and the nation was in danger, what else could my husband have to ask for if he could have a woman who liked me and was willing to be a widow for him for the rest of his life?
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in the future, Zhang Xinghan and his classmates would definitely put on military uniforms, go to the battlefield, fight for the country, fight for the nation, and fight for the 400 million Chinese compatriots. The ancients often said that self-cultivation and management of the family, governing the country and pacifying the world, it seems that becoming a family may not be able to be loyal to the motherland and defend the country.
Country. What is a country? It is a great man who gathers thousands of small families, called a country. Putting aside national justice, the Japanese invaders spy on our China, killing my father, brother, and children, and tying my wife, daughter and sister! As a man, how can we ignore it?
Walking on the street, Zhang Xinghan looked around. Since he came to the Republic of China, he has not been shopping around, and he is a little dazzled when he looks at the dazzling array of goods on the street.
Walking around, not knowing what to choose, Zhang Xinghan finally gritted his teeth and bought a box of rouge at a rouge shop. Anyway, he loves beauty, and every woman cannot avoid the vulgarity. Buying a box of rouge for her should be pretty good, Zhang Xinghan muttered in his heart.
After buying rouge, Zhang Xinghan strode out of the rouge shop and walked along the street towards Du Qianxue's residence.
………………………………………
There was nothing wrong all the way. Although it was a long way from Xuanwu Street to Changxing Street, it was nothing for Zhang Xinghan, who often carried heavy loads to carry long-distance running.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhang Xinghan came to Du Qianxue's residence at No. 52 Changxing Street. This is a typical European-style building in the 1930s, with a two-story building and a courtyard. With such a house and terrain, if you want to rent it alone in your later generations, you may not have a certain economic foundation.
However, at this time, there was no high housing price. Moreover, Du Yuesheng, a popular figure in Shanghai, was his adoptive father, and Du Yuesheng had his adopted daughter who loved him very much, so money did not seem to be a problem for Du Qianxue.
Zhang Xinghan, the owner of this courtyard, once said that it was a couple who also had a house in Shanghai. They heard that they were run newspapers and seemed to have some friendship with Du Qianxue's family. Zhang Xinghan did not pay attention to the specific name.
So I gave this house to Du Qianxue for temporary residence in the name of renting, which seemed to be free.
Zhang Xinghan calmed down, strode forward, walked to the far door, and could see the lawn in the courtyard and some potted plants that he could not name through the big iron gate.
There was an electric doorbell on the wall next to the iron gate. Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and pressed it. After a moment, Zhang Ma's figure appeared in the yard.
After walking a few steps forward, seeing that it was Zhang Xinghan, Zhang's mother obviously speeded up and walked over to open the door. She smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, why are you free to come today?"
"Oh, school holidays are on today. Is Qianxue at home?" Zhang Xinghan asked.
"Oh! Miss is upstairs!" As she said that, Zhang's mother turned around and shouted into the room, "Miss, Mr. Zhang is here to see you." Zhang's mother knew everything about Du Qianxue and Zhang Xinghan. The two were handsome and beautiful, and they were just a couple. In addition, Zhang Xinghan was an anti-Japanese hero, so Zhang's mother also agreed with Zhang Xinghan.
"Oh! I understand!" Du Qianxue's obvious hurried voice came from the second floor.
Ma Zhang turned her head and smiled at Zhang Xinghan and said, "Miss is a little uncomfortable. She was still sleeping just now. Come on, come in first."
"Yes!" Zhang Xinghan nodded, walked in quickly, and then Zhang's mother closed the iron gate and led Zhang Xinghan into the living room on the first floor.
This is not the first time Zhang Xinghan has been here. In addition to being familiar with it, it seems that there is also a sense of home.
After Zhang's mother walked in, she smiled and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Mr. Zhang, you sit down first! Miss will come down later. I'll pour you tea!"
"Hey! Ma Zhang, you have to be polite, I'm not thirsty. In addition, Ma Zhang, you'll just call me Xinghan in the future. No need to call Mr. Zhang anymore, it seems absurd!" Zhang Xinghan called Zhang's mother and said.
"Oh! OK!" Zhang Ma nodded happily when she heard this, and then said, "Then you sit down, I'll prepare lunch, and make something delicious for you today!"
"Yeah! You're busy." Watching Zhang Ma leave, Zhang Xinghan sat on the sofa in the living room.
Just as I took out a cigarette from my pocket and wanted to smoke one, I heard the sound of rapid footsteps from the entrance of the stairs on the second floor.
Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw Du Qianxue wearing a fiery red cheongsam and high heels. Her snow-white thighs were faintly visible at the cheongsam. Against the backdrop of the high heels, her whole body looked particularly slender and sexy. Seeing Zhang Xinghan, Du Qianxue ran down quickly.
Zhang Xinghan stood up in a daze. Today, Du Qianxue had a light makeup on her face. Her originally snow-like face looked white and red, like a ripe red apple, making people want to bite it.
