It was Li Junqing and Zhao Jiayong who came here.
They were on their way to the Summer Palace for a banquet.
Despite the festivities outside the city all day long, these old Beijingers really didn’t take it seriously.
They continued to listen to the opera and drink, taking their time and showing leisure and enthusiasm.
Confidence, this is the style of men in Peking.
"Brother Chen."
Li Junqing shouted while sitting in the car.
He was wearing a white silk gown and holding a folding fan.
Yushu Linfeng was the center of attention wherever he went, but this time everyone was listening to a student speech, and a burst of enthusiasm broke out.
The applause drowned out his voice.
Chen Zikun did not hear it, nor did he look this way.
He took Lin Wenjing into the car and walked away in a hurry.
"You read that right," Zhao Jiayong said.
"It's definitely him, it can't be wrong."
Li Junqing shook out his fan and fanned him a few times quickly, "No, I have to go find him.
I haven't met him since I came to Peking a few times.
The brothers have become estranged from each other."
Zhao Jiayong said: "Lao Li, let's forget it for now, there is still a game, go find Brother Kun tomorrow.
Li Junqing glanced at the car that was leaving and said, "That's fine, let's go tomorrow."
Chen Zikun did not see Li Junqing.
His mind was on those students.
In the car, he asked Lin Wenjing: "How is Wenlong's academic performance?
It seems that he is more interested in politics."
Lin Wenjing said: "The country is in crisis, and no passionate young man cares about politics.
What's more, Wenlong went to Peking University, which has the tradition of the May Fourth Movement.
Don't underestimate these young students.
They were the ones who organized the December 9th Movement."
Chen Zikun said: "Wenlong also has a share."
Lin Wenjing said: "Wen Long participated, as well as Xiao Yao and Xiao Huang, they are all activists."
"So, they are all Communists."
Chen Zikun became wary.
Lin Wenjing rolled her eyes at him: "What's wrong with the Communist Party?
Now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating and resisting Japan.
Besides, they are not the Communist Party."
Chen Zikun didn't want to dwell on this issue.
He only cared about how to evacuate his family from the dangerous Pingjin as soon as possible.
When he was almost driving to the door of his house, Lin Wenjing suddenly mentioned: "You just arrived, it's still early for dinner, why not go to the car factory to have a look?"
" "Okay."
Chen Zikun agreed happily.
Arriving at the entrance of Ziguang Depot, the two red doors were mottled and faded, and the stone steps in front of the door were also polished.
Baoqing was unloading goods in the yard.
He used a foreign truck to pull back a few bags of flour.
In the summer, his bald head was shiny.
Incomparably, hard-working men like to shave their heads to be neat and cool.
The arrival of Chen Zikun made Baoqing extremely happy, and asked Xing'er to pour tea and cut melons.

In recent years, Xing'er has become older and her back is slightly hunched.
Their son Da Shuan is twelve years old.
He is strong and cute, but he doesn't like it. study.
"Like my son, he doesn't like reading."
Chen Zikun smiled, took a bite of watermelon, and asked Bao Qing: "Why did you buy so much flour?"
"Beiping is not at peace.
Sooner or later there will be a war.
According to my experience, the chaos will last for three months at most.
You must not prepare any food storage or anything like that.
If there is a war, you will find a big tank and install bricks and tiles to block the door.
I feel worried."
Feeling at ease.”
Baoqing works in a car factory and has a relatively comprehensive observation of the outside situation.
He has a premonition of a war, which shows that the situation in Peiping is tense.
"Da Kunzi, do you think if we can really fight, Peiping will not be occupied by the Japanese?"
Xing'er asked worriedly as she poured him tea and water.
"Silly bitches, what are you talking about?
We have the 29th Army in Peiping, how can we let little Japan take over it?
The 29th Army's broadsword team is so powerful that they scare the Japanese into wearing iron scarves."
Baoqing was very excited when he talked about these stories circulating in the streets.
Finally, he asked Chen Zikun: "Da Kunzi, you are a general.
Tell me, who is better between our 29th Army and the Japanese."
Chen Zikun said without hesitation: "Of course we Chinese are powerful.
Now that the civil war has stopped, the country is unanimously open to the outside world.
If Japan dares to provoke, there will be no return."
Baoqing grinned: "Xing'er, you hear that?
That's what Da Kunzi said.
I'm just saying, China has a population of 40 million and a vast land and abundant resources.
Are we still afraid of a small Japan?"
Suddenly, Da Shuan ran over with a big knife made of wood chips and said, "Cut the big knife on the heads of the Japanese to kill them."
"This kid."
Baoqing happily slapped his son on the butt, and suddenly remembered something: "Da Kunzi, come and stay for a few days this time."
Chen Zikun said: "We can't live here for a few days.
It's summer vacation soon.
Let's take Lin Wenjing and her brother back."
Bao Qing said regretfully: "Why don't you stay a few more days, and we two brothers can have a good chat.
We haven't seen each other for a while."
Xing'er said: "Kunzi from the National People's Congress is a high-ranking official in the central government.
How can he be like you, who has nothing to do after eating all day long, just wandering around listening to people bragging."
Bao Qing got angry and threw the melon rind to the ground: "What are you talking about?"
Xing'er was not afraid at all: "As for you, Dakunzi, please ignore him.
Yating's temper is getting worse and worse, and she dares to challenge me."
The two did not really quarrel, but had daily quarrels.
Thinking of the past of Bao Qing's honest and honest love for Xing'er many years ago, looking at it now, it really makes people feel how time flies.
Chen Zikun looked at his watch, stood up and said: " It’s getting late, I have to go.”

Xing'er said: "Let's go after dinner.
Slap a cucumber and cut a pig's head.
It's very quick.
You two can drink two cups."
Chen Zikun said: "No, there is still a game tonight, and Qin Dechun wants to take over for me."
When she heard that it was the mayor of Peiping who was treating her, Xing'er didn't force him to stay and sent him out of the door.
The couple went in again, noisily.
Back at Lin's house, before Wen Long entered the house, Lin Wenjing asked worriedly: "Is what you just said true?
Can China defeat Japan?"
Chen Zikun said: "Let me tell you a set of data.
It is top secret information of the Military Commission and is unknown to ordinary people."
Lin Wenjing listened attentively.
Chen Zikun said: "Japan currently has about 4.5 million troops, including 2 million on active duty, 17 standing army divisions, a total tonnage of naval ships of 1.9 million tons, and 3,000 aircraft.
Our country has an army of 1.7 million tons, 110,000 tons of ships, and 600 aircraft; Japan's steel output is 5 million tons, while China's only has less than 40,000 tons; Japan's oil output is 1.6 million tons, and China has only one 10,000 tons, Japan can produce aircraft carriers, tanks, Aircrafts, artillery, and all China's heavy weapons are imported, as are the steel used to manufacture light weapons.
More importantly, Japan is united, and China is divided.
The three northeastern provinces rich in resources are occupied by Japan, and Xinjiang is occupied by Soviet Russia.
Control, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are still rampant with warlords, the army is mostly underpaid, the soldiers are of low quality and malnourished, the officers are mixed, and their qualifications are very poor.
This is the comparison of strength between China and Japan.
You can judge for yourself who can win. " Lin Wenjing was silent for a long time and frowned.
Naturally, passionate students and ordinary people like Bao Qing had no access to such data, let alone made analysis and judgment.
After a long time, Lin Wenjing said: "There is a huge disparity in strength between China and Japan, but they are not invincible.
When the United States became independent, the gap in strength was even greater than that of the United Kingdom, and they can still win."
Chen Zikun said: "You are right.
Although China is weak, it is still a behemoth.
Otherwise, Japan would have been eager to take a bite.
Now that the suppression of communism has stopped, the anti-Japanese united front has been established, and the whole country is united, we can still fight.
But I still don’t agree with college students going to the battlefield.
How will we rebuild the country in the future if all the outstanding talents are used up?”
Lin Wenjing said: "Don't worry about this.
Pingjin University has already made plans to build school buildings in the southwest and other places.
When the war starts, we faculty and staff will move there so as not to delay students' classes."
While they were chatting, Qin Dechun sent his adjutant to invite him, saying that he had prepared a banquet for General Chen to wash away the dust.
It seemed that he still couldn't avoid this meal, so Chen Zikun took Lin Wenjing to the banquet.
The most talked about at the table was the situation, because Chen Zikun was a central official, and Qin Dechun wanted to know what the Nanjing government wanted.
"Resolutely resist Japan and never compromise."
Chen Zikun replied to him.
"Why do you see this?"
Fu Sinian, who was present here, asked.
He was also an old acquaintance of Chen Zikun.
He was a handsome young man when he organized the May Fourth movement, but now he has become a bloated fat man.
Chen Zikun said: "Of course I'm not just talking nonsense.
The teaching materials used by the Lushan Officer Training Corps, which was commissioned and established, no longer include the tactics of suppressing the Communist Party, but are replaced by anti-Japanese propaganda.
I think this is enough to explain the problem."
Fu Sinian, Qin Dechun and others nodded happily.
The next day, Yao Qizhen and his wife, who received the telegram, came from Tianjin by Beijing-Tianjin Express.

As soon as they saw Chen Zikun, they talked about what they saw on the train: "The Japanese were practicing along the railway line, and the areas near the culvert and bridge were filled with soldiers and guns.
There are so many cannons and bayonets, it’s really scary.”
Yao Yilei's aunt and her family did not come.
Her uncle is a senior employee of Japan's Zhengjin Bank, so he is not afraid even if the Japanese come calling.
Chen Zikun had a premonition that the Pingjin area was like a huge powder keg that could explode at any time.
He asked Lin Wenlong and Yao Yilong again.
Both young men expressed their intention to participate in the summer military training group of the 29th Army and fight the Japanese to the death.
Lin Wenjing persuaded It's no use either.
In desperation, Chen Zikun had to take Yao Qizhen, his wife and Lin Wenjing to leave Peiping first.
Today, summer vacation has just begun, and the date is July 5, 1937.
Two days later, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out.
The Japanese army launched an attack on Marco Polo Bridge on the pretext that a soldier was missing and their unreasonable request to search Wanping County was rejected.
They were met with a fierce counterattack by the 219th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 29th Army.
The 29th Army of Pingjin and Tianjin was surrounded on three sides.
Wanping was the only gateway to Peiping.
Once Wanping was lost and the Ping-Han Line was cut off, Peiping would become an isolated city.
The Marco Polo Bridge was the latch on this gateway.
Guarding the Marco Polo Bridge was to defend Peiping and the Central Plains.
Passage, both China and Japan attached great importance to the gains and losses of the Marco Polo Bridge.
The battle was not fierce.
The well-trained Japanese army only suffered casualties of more than 30 people, while the Chinese army lost more than 100 people.
When the news reached Lushan, Chiang Kai-shek telegraphed Song Zheyuan and ordered Song Zheyuan to stick to Wanping and not retreat, and mobilize all troops in case the situation escalated.
He immediately telegraphed Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army to assemble towards Shijiazhuang.
On the morning of July 8, in the big barracks of Haihui Temple in Lushan Mountain, six thousand students quickly gathered under the flagpole as the wake-up call sounded.
After raising the blue sky and white sun flag, the education director Chen Cheng announced to everyone: The war has begun
