Chapter 431 Return to Shanghai (Part 2)

In the garden in the backyard of the Chen family, Chen Deshang ate a health stake that he had just had in the evening and dusk as usual. This set of stakes was taught to him when Huangshan left. Although it was impossible to make him immortal, it also had the effect of prolonging life. Now he is over 70 years old, but his body is still as old as a young man, and he will not suffer from all kinds of illnesses. He also thought of passing this set of stakes as a family-born skill to his children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, they are all impetuous and disturbed by secular affairs, so they cannot calm down and practice, and they will eventually be left unresolved.

While Chen Deshang was standing, five young men who had just faded their childishness were leisurely brewing coffee in the pavilion not far away. Two of them held a copy of the evening newspapers from Nanjing and Shanghai and read them carefully through the lights, while the other three women intertwine from time to time to discuss the current affairs news they were interested in. Perhaps because of their different views, the few people only saw that the discussion turned into disputes. The voice became louder and louder, and eventually alarmed Chen Deshang not far away, forcing him to finish his work in advance.

"You were fine just now, why did you start arguing again after a while? Xiao Chen Deshang turned around and took a towel from the servant standing next to him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then put on a fluffy coat, walked to the pavilion, reached out to bake it on the brazier, and asked the five young people this year: "What is it for this time? Is it for the soaring prices? Or is it in chaos everywhere?

Seeing that his quarrel alarmed Chen Deshang, several people couldn't help but shrink their necks. Only the youngest girl among them hurriedly brought a chair, put on the hot chair cushion, pulled Chen Deshang's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, you are here just right, come and help my elder sister and cousin comment, who is right?" As she said that, she took an evening newspaper, handed it to Chen Deshang, pointed to one of the news, and said: "Please! My elder sister and my elder brother and my second cousin are just joining in the fun."

After taking the newspaper from the girl's hand, Chen Deshang smiled and touched her head, then looked at the other grandchildren, and couldn't help but think of Chen Jingguo and Chen Huilan's appearance at the Chen family, and felt sad in his heart.

"Grandpa. Are you thinking about uncle and the others again?" The girl, who had almost completely lost her childishness, carefully noticed Chen Deshang's thoughts and asked softly.

Chen Deshang did not agree, but just sighed softly. His children had always been a heart-wrenching problem with him. Needless to say, Chen Jingguo and Chen Zhenshan, because the sanctuary received very little care since childhood, and then they became even more disastrous and now they are in the end. Chen Zhangping is also a mud that cannot be supported by the wall. Now he has become a parasite. Chen Huilan doesn't let him worry, so he married a married woman back then. Now that the children have grown up, their spirits are still so high, and they always make some extreme remarks in newspapers. If the Chen family had not had power in China, some people from the Republic of China would have taken action against him. In the end, among the seven children, only Chen Tao, Chen Fan and Chen Yu finally met his wishes.

However, in recent years, Chen Tao and Chen Fan have had a very stiff fight. In order to maintain the dignity of the Chinese master's family, he had to express his support for Chen Fan, which made Chen Tao feel dissatisfied. He has not come to see him as usual during the Chinese New Year and holidays in the past two years, which makes him quite sad.

Perhaps it was because of the feeling of his father. Chen Fan, Chen Huilan and other Chen family children who stayed in China sent their children to Shanghai to study, moved into the Chen Mansion to accompany him to comfort him. Chen Deshang naturally knew the intentions of his children, and was quite pleased with them, and accepted their kindness and enjoyed this rare family happiness.

Chen Deshang quickly recovered from his emotions, smiled at Chen Huilan's daughter, then looked down at the newspaper in his hand, and read the news that caused the grandchildren to argue. After reading it, he frowned slightly, put the newspaper aside, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "It's another party dispute! Can't they calm down? What China needs most now is national construction, not power struggles. The country is now in the hands of such people, and the future is worrying!"

Hearing the serious dissatisfaction in Chen Deshang's tone, the cousins ​​and sisters all lowered their heads and glared at each other in secret. They seemed to be complaining that the other party attracted Chen Deshang to come. How could these little guys' self-confident actions escape Chen Deshang's eyes? He smiled and relaxed his emotions and said, "Okay! I am dissatisfied with those political parties that do not do things seriously. Are you talking about you, one by one, and you all seem to be bowing your head and admitting your mistakes!" Then he asked, "You are quarreling because of their different political ideas?"

"Yes, not! Grandpa, we quarreled because Qingyin said she was going to Jiangxi Soviet Area." Chen Fan's son was the oldest among them. Now he came to Shanghai to study. After returning to Nanjing, he would go directly to the central government, so he naturally supported the authorities of the Republic of China.

"What?" Chen Deshang.com's mood just relaxed became tighter again. He turned to look at Chen Huilan's eldest daughter Li Qingyin and asked, "Girl Qingyin, you really decided to go to Jiangxi?"

"Yes! But it's just an idea for the time being." Li Qingyin and Chen Huilan were very similar when they were young. There was a heroic spirit between their eyebrows that was not inferior to men. However, under Chen Deshang's gaze, this heroic spirit did not play much role. Soon she was defeated, lowered her head slightly, and added a light sentence, saying, "Mom, she agrees too."

"Not you know that the Soviet area is talking about the elements and origins." Chen Deshang snorted coldly and glared at his granddaughter. He taught: "What are you? What are your backgrounds? Landlords and rich men, they should be defeated by them, and they are the targets they want to completely eliminate! Wouldn't you go there to kill yourself!"

"It's not like that. These are all false accusations by the authorities of the Republic of China. My classmates are in the Soviet area. She wrote a lot of letters to me. The above mentioned are not the absurd scenes like communism and communism in newspapers." Li Qingyin's natural stubborn temper was also inspired by Chen Deshang's words. She mustered up the courage to refute it, and then said: "Although there is not a complete peace in the world, it is also considered a harmony between the military and civilians. But these are just written in the letter. I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I want to go to Jiangxi to witness it with my own eyes."

"You girl," Chen Deshang looked at his granddaughter with a stubborn look on his face. Thinking of Chen Huilan, who insisted on marrying Li Wenjun, he didn't know what to say for a moment. The young men next to him also pulled Li Qingyin's clothes a few times and signaled her to lower her head and not to make Chen Deshang angry.
