Chengde City, Li Mansion.
This Li Mansion is one of the best luxury villas in the area. It is tall, spacious and luxurious. It is a two-story modern building.
Behind Li Mansion, there is a large swimming pool with clear and bright water, and you can see the bottom clearly.
There is a girl wearing a swimsuit in the swimming pool and practicing freestyle.
Wearing a swimming cap and swimming goggles, she has a graceful figure, a soft waist, and skillful movements. Her body floats on the water, like a fish swimming in the wind and waves, struggling forward.
In the blink of an eye, the two hundred meters came to an end, and we came back again. We swam back and forth like this for about ten times.
"Okay, okay, Sijie, the weather is cold and the water is cold. Come up quickly." Li Sijie's mother has been standing on the shore of the swimming pool for a long time with a long white bath towel in her hand. "Silly girl, you have been swimming so long." Jiu, aren't you tired?"
Li Sijie then stopped, smiled and shouted to her mother: "Mom, I'm not tired!"
Li Sijie held on to the stainless steel handrail and climbed up from the swimming pool.
She took the bath towel from her mother's hand and put it on her body, took off her swimming cap and goggles, sat on the sofa by the pool, wiped the water from her hair with the bath towel, and said with a smile: "This is just It’s only four thousand meters, I want to challenge 10,000 meters. You have to know that I am the swimming champion of our school, and I also plan to participate in the Olympics.”
"What sports games are you talking about? I've never heard of it." Li Sijie's mother, Aixinjue Luo Shi, said.
"I missed the Olympic Games in Athens this time. I want to participate in the next Games. I want to strengthen my training and strive to represent our country in swimming competitions, win trophies, and bring glory to our country!" Li Sijie said.
"Why are you going to participate in that? Aren't you tired?" Li Sijie's mother said, "You are a girl, if you don't study hard, what are you going to do in participating in sports meets?"
"Mom, you don't understand this. We must have pursuits and goals in life. We can't just think about eating and drinking every day. We must win glory for our country and win honor for our country. The Olympic Games are participated by people all over the world. Why can't we Chinese participate in sports events?" Li Sijie said.
Li Sijie has a tall and strong figure, which is different from ordinary girls. Because she has been fond of sports for a long time, her figure is very similar to that of athletes, healthy and stylish.
"The current situation in our country is that many people can't even afford to eat. How can they bother to participate in sports games?" Li Sijie's mother said.
"Mom, who can you blame for this? Isn't the emperor of the Qing Dynasty named Aixinjueluo? After all, isn't it the fault of your Aixinjueluo family?" Li Sijie said.
"How can you, a girl, know what happens in the palace? Many things are not what you see. Emperor Guangxu is a good emperor. He really wants to make a difference, but he can't help himself."
"As soon as you say that you love the Xinjieluo family, you have to protect them. Okay, you love the Xinjieluo family. They are all good people, okay?" Li Sijie said, "Let's not talk about this. Where is my brother? "
"Don't mention it, my head hurts when I mention him," Li Sijie's mother said, "Your father is almost mad at him."
"Why? I've been studying in Russia for the past two years and I haven't seen him. Where has he gone?"
"Your brother is just disobedient," said Li Sijie's mother. "When the Sino-Japanese War broke out, your brother said it was our country's fault for not having professional artillery. He made a fuss with your father about going to the Russian Artillery Academy to study. He said he would serve after he returned. Country, your father had no other choice, so he agreed to let him go. After he returned from his studies, your father arranged for him to be sent to Yuan Shikai's newly built army. It was good at first, but as a result, he lost in the Korean battlefield. Ye Zhichao was greedy for life and feared death, and took the lead in escaping. Your brother He said that he couldn't serve the country as a soldier, so he became angry and quit the army. I don't know who he hooked up with, and he went to Qingfeng Village to become a beard."
"Being a beard?" Li Sijie laughed after hearing this, "Isn't that a bandit? That must be fun."
"Funny? Oh my little ancestor, he can lose his head at any time. I heard that Qingfeng Village was destroyed by others, and three or four thousand people died!"
"Ah!" Li Sijie screamed in fright, "What about my brother?"
"Your brother is fine. He has joined the Chenjiayu Security Team again," said Li Sijie's mother. "Oh, he keeps doing this every day. I write letters asking him to come back, but he says nothing and won't come back. I just live in fear all day long. , In the palace, I don’t want him to go. Outside, in various yamen such as Chengde, Fengtian, etc., your father has said hello, he can go wherever he wants, but he refuses to go, life or death, and there are many dignitaries who want them. He is not happy with the daughter of our family marrying him, saying that he should wait until he has established a successful career before starting a family. Your father is really pissed off by him."
"Then just let him go, he is not a child anymore." Li Sijie said.
"What will happen if you don't let him go? You have to be obedient in the future and don't cause trouble for me. Let me worry less."
"Mom, I must be obedient. I will do whatever you say, okay? Besides, what trouble can I cause as a girl?" Li Sijie said with a smile.
"That's good. With your words, I feel relieved. Your father and I are too young to bear the trouble anymore." Li Sijie's mother said.
"People say that the age of fifty is the beginning of life. You and my father are not yet fifty, so you are still young." Li Sijie said with a smile.
"You don't start until you're fifty? Where are you going, into the dirt?" Li Sijie's mother also smiled, "What are your plans when you come back this time?"
"I am studying journalism at Moscow State Normal University. I want to prepare a graduation thesis on patriotic themes and submit it to our school when I return."
"Graduation thesis?" Li Sijie's mother asked, "Are you ready?"
"Not yet. The professional ethics of journalists is to be truthful first. This cannot be written casually. There must be real cases. Otherwise, our teacher will be able to see through it at a glance. If he asks me a question, I will not be able to answer it. Yeah," Li Sijie said, "I plan to personally interview some patriotic people with progressive ideas."
"I heard that journalists are also one of the top ten dangerous industries. In short, you have to be careful and don't put yourself in danger."
"Mom, I understand. I will be very careful. Don't worry," Li Sijie said. "Besides, when I come back this time, I will go to see my brother. I want to ask him when he plans to find me." A sister-in-law."
"That's not possible. They are full of bandits' dens and they fight and kill all day long. How can you, a girl, go to your house?" Upon hearing this, Li Sijie's mother quickly interrupted her and said, "I was planning to Write a letter to your brother and ask him to come back, it’s too unsafe there.”
"Why are you writing to me? Didn't I come back alive and well?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sizhe walked in from the outside with a smile.
"Brother! You're back!" Li Sijie screamed, jumped up from the sofa, ecstatically hugged her brother.
