Hometown beacon smoke old time shadow

Within two days, all the college and middle school students in Shanghai stopped their classes.Jingxian didn't dare to let Huanzhu and Zhenghai go to school, for fear that they would be in danger.Zhaoshi was trapped at home by his sister-in-law's foot restraint order, unable to go anywhere, and stared in a daze at the news in the newspaper that "Shanghai Student Union was established".The raindrops outside the window are pattering on the sycamore leaves, which is depressing.There were several green plums in a white porcelain plate on the desk, and he picked one up and put it in his mouth, his sour facial features twisted together.

Jingxian was also very busy, the workers in the spinning mill went on strike, and the shopkeepers of the silk and satin factory went on strike/market, but just in time for the flood in Zhenjiang, the Shen family's cotton fields there were washed away, and the cotton could not be harvested, so they had to go on strike. After dismissing Steward Sun—now Xiangli Sun—go to Wuhan to find a way out at Zhaoquan.She dragged her body exhausted back home, Xiaozhen hurriedly greeted the door, "Grandma, you are back, I can't take care of the affairs of this family anymore." After hearing this, Jingxian sat down at the door On the bench, she closed her eyes and said, "Tell me, what's going on at home." Xiaozhen knelt down to help her take off her high-heeled shoes, rubbed the muscles on her calves, put on the slippers again, and said, "You Don’t get angry when you go in for a while, Zhenghai takes Huanzhu and Lianzhou to imitate the students’ speeches and parades at home, and puts up a lot of slogans in the living room, “Down with the traitors, give me back to Qingdao. If the three make trouble together, I will do it alone.” I can't stop it." Jing Xian didn't open her eyes, and asked her: "Where is Second Master? Isn't Second Master at home?" Xiaozhen pouted, "Second Master has locked himself in the study for a day, and he didn't come out. The girl brought the food in. There is another matter, some old women and teahouses from Jiangbei in the family said that there was a disaster at home, and asked if they could raise the monthly money, I can’t decide on this matter.” Jing Xian nodded, "I see, help me in."

She half leaned on Xiaozhen's body and entered the door. Three children and two little girls were having fun in the living room, holding a small paper flag that she made in one hand and holding up a small fist in the other, shouting "Abolish Article 21." !" Seeing Jing Xian coming back, the little girl hid in a hurry, Zheng Hai was a little more cautious after all, and stopped, embarrassed to shout again.Huanzhu and Lianzhou still laughed happily.Jing Xian didn't even have the strength to get angry at this time, she just said lightly, "Go to the second uncle's study to study." Then she turned and went back to her room.Huanzhu and Zhenghai obediently took their textbooks to Zhaoshi's place, and Xiaozhen hurriedly sent someone to clean up the living room.

During dinner, Xiaozhen was still nagging, "It's all caused by the movement, the shops are closed, and it's not even easy to buy food." Zhaoshi didn't think so, "Don't complain, if it weren't for these movements to seek democracy and science, you I can’t sit on this table yet.” Xiaozhen also pouted, “If I stand by and wait, the shops will be open, that’s fine too.” Jingxian slapped the chopsticks on the table with a “slap”, Xiaozhen and Zhao Shi shut up.After a short pause, Lianzhou and Zhenghai grabbed a piece of ribs, and neither one would let the other.Lianzhou was not as strong as Zhenghai, Zhenghai stuffed the ribs into his mouth, Lianzhou pouted and wanted to cry, Huanzhu quickly picked another piece for him.But the child got stubborn and threw the piece Huanzhu gave him on the ground, and insisted on taking the piece away from Zhenghai.Zhaoshi was also depressed, pulled up Lianzhou and slapped his butt twice, Lianzhou immediately burst into tears.Jing Xian stood up, "If you don't eat well, don't eat." She turned and left the restaurant.The rest of the table saw Jingxian leave, no one dared to eat any more, and they all left in despair.

Xiaozhen was worried that Jingxian didn't have a good dinner, and she was angry again, so she rushed to the kitchen to cook millet porridge and brought it to the room, and softly persuaded, "Grandma, it's all my fault, take care of the family affairs." No, I'm still arguing with the second master, making you angry. I made millet porridge, you should take a few sips, the anger is in your body and be careful not to harm your spleen and stomach." Jingxian was extremely tired at this time, as if tens of thousands The matter was in my mind, I was overwhelmed, and I shed tears when I thought about it.Xiaozhen was terrified and stepped forward to help him wipe the tears off his face.Jingxian grabbed her hand, choked up: "You don't need to wipe it, just let me cry for a while, it will be fine." Xiaozhen didn't dare to withdraw her hand, and let Jingxian hold her hand tightly, dripping drop by drop. tears.In Xiaozhen's heart, there are also mixed feelings. To her, Jing Xian is almost a god-like existence, gentle but strong, meticulous and decisive, but how many people have seen the tears behind this woman's perfect appearance.

When Jingxian's mood gradually stabilized, Xiaozhen patted the back of her hand lightly, "Grandma, the porridge is cold, I'll reheat it." Jingxian smiled wryly: "Don't be angry with me, how much millet porridge should you drink?" "Xiaozhen came in with hot porridge, Jingxian leaned against the window and played her jade flute, she felt the sound was very familiar, and remembered the night when she married into the Shen family.It's just that the sound of the flute that night was like an elegy, but tonight, it was not so sad, it just quietly talked about the thoughts of the flute player.

Jingxian smiled slightly: "When I was a child, when I had something on my mind, I would play it with it, but I ended up sitting in the yard and blowing it almost every day. Now that I think about it, it's just the little girl hurting the spring and the autumn. Now the thing in my heart is really There are so many of them that they haven’t moved once in a few years.”

She sat down, Xiaozhen helped her clean her hands with a hot towel, and when she picked up the chopsticks again, she returned to that calm and sophisticated person. "I thought about it just now. Now that the master is gone, the family doesn't need so many waiters. Butler Sun is going to help me take care of the business. It's not easy for you to take care of such a big family. Why don't you take this opportunity to send people Send it all away. Leave a driver and a gardener outside, an old woman in the kitchen at home, and a girl who serves Huanzhu. Others, if they are willing to return to their hometown, they will be given more monthly money. If they are not willing to go back, Just go to work in the factory, everyone is voluntary." Xiaozhen asked: "A girl? I'm afraid it's not enough? Where is grandma? Sister Sangzhi will always stay." Jingxian waved her hand: "Second master and Lianzhou is a boy, and he has to learn to take care of himself. I can't raise two dudes. Will I have someone to take care of me when I go to study in the future? You can ask Wenjin and Miantao, who is willing to stay? Don't worry about Sang Zhi, she has been with me since she was a child, and she is now in her twenties, so I must help her find a good home. I have taken a fancy to the new second shopkeeper in our silk shop, he is a shrewd and proper person, Married is to be the shopkeeper's lady, and I don't feel wronged Sangzhi. I have been here for the past two years, and you have been taking care of it. Sangzhi was also busy with the master first, and then took care of Lianzhou. Let her rest and get ready. Dowry. In the future, I will do my best for you alone, unless you dislike serving me, and unless" "Unless what?" Jingxian smiled, "Unless you are one year old and two years old, and want to get married." Xiaozhen blushed, "Why are you saying this with red lips and white teeth?" Jingxian sighed, "The Shen family missed you, a good girl, and she bears the name of aunt for nothing. Whether the uncle comes back or not, I think it will I can't let you guard like me, and it's not good to just send you back like this. In terms of appearance and character, you are not inferior to Sangzhi, so I thought, I'd better help you find another home." Xiaozhen said Sometimes, crying is neither laughing nor crying, I don't know what to do for a while, and I want to go out as soon as I stomp my feet.Jing Xian grabbed her back: "Don't run away, ask Second Master to come to my place, we just told you the good news, you should go and tell about the mulberry branch."

Xiaozhen knocked on Zhaoshi's door and invited him to Jingxian's room. Zhaoshi became nervous: "Sister-in-law sent you, but did you say anything?" Xiaozhen smiled: "I didn't say anything." She pursed her lips and asked, "I haven't eaten dinner well, are you still angry?" Xiaozhen rolled her eyes, and asked with some doubts: "Me?" Zhaoshi shook his head, "Sister-in-law." Xiaozhen curled her lips, "I just watched with cold eyes , It doesn’t seem like there is any anger. Even today, the little ones are making too much trouble, and the second master will take care of it later.” Zhaoshi nodded: “I see, I’m going now.” After finishing speaking, he got up and wanted to go out However, Xiaozhen was still blocking the door, the two of you let me in, and I let you in, they turned red.Zhaoshi bowed his head and went out, but was stopped by Xiaozhen again, "I had an argument with Second Master at night, I was a little anxious, Second Master should take care of you." Zhaoshi lowered his head: "Don't dare." Jingxian went to her room.

When Zhaoshi came in, he was a little apprehensive, and he also knew that the little ones were making too much noise today.The sister-in-law didn't get angry with him, she just asked about the homework on the face, and then said: "I will send Sun Xiangli to your eldest sister's place in Wuhan, and you will accompany me to the business store tomorrow, and there are some paperwork matters." I need your help to deal with it." "Yes" Zhaoshi bowed and agreed, and withdrew.
