Golden Pink Building

Zhao Zhongshu was stunned when he heard Xiaozhu's words. He faltered and didn't know what to do, but Xiaozhu stared at Uncle Zhao ignorantly. He saw that Uncle Zhao's face changed wonderfully. It is constantly changing round by round.Uncle Zhao, if my father doesn't come back, will you be my new father?The little pig grabbed Zhao Zhongshu's lapel very seriously, and questioned that the child's mind is the most sensitive, even though Qingqiu kept the children from telling what happened at home, but the child could understand it from the adult's words and facial expressions. It felt like something must have happened at home.There are also servants at home and gossip outside. Although Xiaozhu and Yuanyuan can't fully understand what happened, they can still vaguely realize that there may be one less person in the family deep down in their hearts.Yuan Yuan once quietly pulled his younger brother to a hidden corner in the garden, and said seriously to his younger brother: "They said that Dad might not come back, do you know if we are obedient and can't make Mom sad!" Little pig was ignorant Looking at her sister, she worriedly said, "Where did Dad go? Why didn't he come back!"

Yuan Yuan knocked on his younger brother's head angrily, with his hands on his hips: "I don't know, but you have to listen to me from now on, whoever dares to bully you, I will support you. That bully in your class is bullying you, I Just ask someone to beat him up together."

Little Pig nodded, and the siblings held onto each other's hand, "If anyone dares to bully us, we'll beat him together!" Originally, Little Pig thought that even if the matter was over, maybe his father would still show up that morning.But when he met Jin Wei today, his little heart realized the seriousness of the problem for the first time.If there was no father, Xiao Zhu subconsciously pouted, and the family would lose a safe fortress.It just so happened that Zhao Zhongshu's safety met all Xiaozhu's inner definitions of safety, so he grabbed Zhao Zhongshu and asked him to declare his position as a spare tire.

Zhao Zhongshu happened to see Qingqiu coming in, and he was so panicked that he immediately held Xiaozhu's mouth and whispered in his ear: "Don't ever say that you call me your father again, be careful, your mother will hear you and beat your little ass!" Yes. Your father will be back in a few days. Don’t tell anyone about those things. If you tell, Uncle Zhao won’t teach you how to shoot.”

Little Pig immediately became interested when he heard that he was going to learn how to shoot a gun. He nodded and raised three fingers at Zhao Zhongshu, and Zhao Zhongshu moved his hand away with confidence. "What are you two doing sneakily? How much sand are on your body, little pig? Come down quickly and change clothes with the nanny. It's already this time, you'd better eat before leaving. Peifang will come over later. She I’m going to burn incense again.” Xiaozhu obediently climbed down from Zhao Zhongshu’s lap, and stuck to Qingqiu’s body: “Big cousin and aunt are coming, is big cousin coming too?” Peifang and Fengju’s daughters and Jin Wei Two years old, but one of the two girls is gentle and silent, and the other is fond of tricks and tricks, and their temperaments are completely different.Everyone actually likes Fengju's family to have more girls.

"Your eldest cousin is not in good health, so she can't come. I'll take you to her house to see her soon, so hurry up and do your homework." Qingqiu called the nanny to take the little pig upstairs to change clothes.There were no children in the living room, and it suddenly became quiet. Zhao Zhongshu stood up uncomfortably and said to Qingqiu: "I have to go back to my urgent matter. Tomorrow I will call someone to protect you from going out. Don't worry, no one will dare It's bad luck to come to you. If you have anything to say, just open your mouth, Shao Yi and I have been brothers for many years, and we are closer than brothers." Zhao Zhongshu left in a hurry.

Qingqiu also wanted to keep Zhao Zhongshu back, thanks to his help today Qingqiu was saved from being entangled, even though Jiang Fanyuan had no guts, if he did something unexpected, it would be Qingqiu who would suffer.Qingqiu wanted to use this meal to thank Zhao Zhongshu for his help.Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed into a different person and rushed away.

What a strange person, Qingqiu thinks to himself that this Zhao Zhongshu is a straightforward person, he is very familiar with the Bai family, and he doesn't eat at home once or twice.Why are you so polite.Qingqiu muttered inwardly, then let it go.She has gradually regained her senses in the past few days. After thinking about the incident carefully, she decided that the boat Bai Shaoyi was on must be fine.If the ship does capsize, things will definitely wash up on the beach along the coast, and there should be a distress call in the port.However, no signal was received at the port, and there were many ships passing by on that route, and there was no report of a ship in distress, so it can be seen that Bai Shaoyi's ship must be fine.Losing contact now is just an unexpected situation.

Just as Zhao Zhongshu got in the car and started the car, he stopped the car suddenly, jumped out of the car with his ass on fire, and hurried back.The concierge of the Bai family looked at Zhao Zhongshu and was speechless in surprise. He never dreamed that Mr. Zhao, who has always been far away in the clouds and unpredictable, could have such a vigorous skill.The door was pushed open with a bang, and Zhao Zhongshu appeared in front of Qingqiu.He arrived in front of Qingqiu in a few steps.Yes - before Qingqiu's words were spoken, Zhao Zhongshu grabbed Qingqiu's hand and put something on her hand.

It was the gun that Zhao Zhongshu gave Xiaozhu just now: "Hold it for self-defense. You are alone now, it is better to be careful. The bullet is here." Zhao Zhongshu took out a small gun from the pocket on the other side of his body. Open the box, and the bullets inside are shining with the unique cold light of metal.

Holding the pistol, Qingqiu looked at Zhao Zhongshu at a loss, feeling cold in his palm, but suddenly he felt confident in his heart.But I can't use it!Qingqiu frowned in embarrassment, although a pistol can bring a sense of security.But keeping such a dangerous thing at home, Qingqiu was a little at a loss.

"Didn't Shao Yi take you to hunt? Their school is to educate all-round talents in civil and military affairs. The students probably learn to shoot or something. I remember that when we were in Europe, we used to hunt wild ducks, and Shao Yi won. .I have some important things to do. I will teach you the most basic principles when I am free in a few days. It looks like you don’t even know how to store guns at the most basic level. You can put the gun first By my side, the bullets are all real, and I put them where the children can't get them. The gun can only give me a sense of security. If it's okay, don't take it out in front of others." Zhao Zhongshu said a lot to Qingqiu If you want to get a gun, you will leave in a hurry.

Zhao Zhongshu met Peifang and Zhao Yihan who had just entered the door, and Peifang greeted Zhao Zhongshu with a smile.Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhongshu just nodded perfunctorily and left. "What's important about your brother? Why do I think he's a little weird today?" Pei Fang turned her face to look at Zhao Yihan, her eyes full of doubts.

Who knows, he has always been eccentric.When he gets back to normal, it might be the end of the world.Peifang Let's ignore him.Speaking of Qingqiu welcoming her over, she looked at Zhao Yihan in surprise: "Why are you together?" Peifang first smiled and said, "I went to burn incense in the temple again. I just happened to meet Ms. Zhao, and I thought you guys Such people from the new school studying abroad don’t believe in gods and Buddhas. Who knows what I saw, Ms. Zhao worshiped in front of the Buddha, and she was still chanting. We came together.”

Zhao Yihan didn't feel a little uncomfortable with what Peifang said, she smiled and stepped forward to carefully look at the expression on Qingqiu's face: "Qingqiu, you seem to be getting thinner, I am worried about your body. Don't worry, I asked in front of the Buddha, everything will be safe It's all right. By the way, what's the matter with my elder brother, is he well-informed and there is no news from there?"

Qingqiu sighed and said what happened today. "I would also like to thank your elder brother for helping me out, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Thinking that everyone met in the past in a friendly manner, who knows that when there is a bit of wind and rain, they will immediately show their real appearance. "People's hearts are like this, you still have too little experience. Look at me, now I don't have much emotion for the world. What was everyone like when my father was sick? Think about it before, when my father was good. It's really - it's hard to say. I'm much calmer now, and I don't get angry when people say anything. Anyway, people who can sing praises to you can also say vicious words to you. The world has always been icing on the cake. .” Zhao Yihan shook his head and couldn’t continue.

Peifang was very angry when she heard Qingqiu's experience: "What a gentle scum, how could the school hire such a person to do things! Qingqiu, you shouldn't be so honest and let people bully you casually. I'll go to the principal with you to ask, even though I am a Women who don’t have much knowledge know about etiquette, righteousness and shame. Why don’t those gentlemen who teach and educate people not know! Who would dare to send their children to school in the future!” Qingqiu was very grateful when she saw that Peifang wanted to vent her anger on her , hurriedly said: "Everything is settled, that person will show up in Shanghai, what about Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu, tell them to come down." Said Qingqiu took Peifang and Zhao Yihan to dinner together.

After the meal, the news from Hong Kong came, but there was still no news about Bai Shaoyi's boat, Peifang looked at Qingqiu's face, and couldn't bear it: "Don't worry, we have asked the Bodhisattva during this time, all the temples in Shanghai are going After that, the result of asking for lottery in front of the Buddha is all fine. Shaoyi is sure to be fine, no news is good news."

"Yes, Mrs. Jin is right. You can rest assured and wait for a few days before there will be good news. You and Shaoyi are as good as you are. God is reluctant to separate the two of you. You must cheer up and don't put yourself first. It's broken." Zhao Yihan also followed Peifang to comfort Qingqiu.

Qingqiu suppressed the sadness and disappointment in his heart, and forced a smile: "I'm just worried that the time will be too long. If Shao Yi is still drifting at sea, the supplies on the ship will definitely be exhausted. He is cold at sea during this time. Hungry again, how should I live?"

Listening to Qingqiu's words, Zhao Yihan couldn't help laughing: "You are really a virtuous wife, thinking that your husband has nothing to eat."

Peifang diverted Qingqiu's mind with other words, Qingqiu slowly controlled her emotions, life still had to go on, as a housewife, Qingqiu also had to think about winter at home.Qingqiu and Peifang talked about buying winter clothes for their children, they were thinking about what kind of sweater they would knit with the wool they bought today.

Qingqiu held a ball of red yarn and said: "I think Chun grows very white, and he looks good in red." Zhao Yihan picked up the box of red wool and looked carefully, and said to Qingqiu: "I think you should put It’s good to change red to blue or gray. What my elder brother dislikes the most is that boys wear red clothes. I also heard from the old people in my family. They said that my elder brother was not in good health when he was a child. According to the blind fortune teller, he always dressed as a girl before his elder brother went to school. It is said that he was very delicate when he was young, and he was often ridiculed when he was dressed as a girl." Zhao Yihan held back a smile and continued: "You guys Didn’t realize that my elder brother always hates bright clothes? Let alone a red sweater, he can’t stand even a red bow tie, as you can see from Chunsheng’s usual clothes.”

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I really can't see that your elder brother is a serious person who was dressed as a girl before the age of seven or eight." Peifang imagined Zhao Zhongshu with a dark face wearing floral clothes and braiding his hair , couldn't help giggling.

Qingqiu looked at the red wool in his hand, and said helplessly: "If I had known it would be like this, I would have bought another color. Let's put it aside and ask Zhang Ma to change it tomorrow."

Peifang took the box of wool and looked at it: "I'll change it with you. Your elder brother came back a few days ago to bring some wool. You know men don't know how to buy things. They are all blue and gray. I don't pick colors. It’s just that Niuniu is a girl and should dress brighter. I’ll take two boxes of thread for you.”

Qingqiu looked at the box in Peifang's hand thoughtfully, until Peifang pushed her, Qingqiu came back to his senses. "It's not worth anything, and you can't change it. Those are big brother's wishes, how dare I want them." Feng Ju gradually lost his temper as a young master before, and became more family-friendly.It's just that if you're used to being a young master, it's still a bit difficult to be a good man at home.

"I've been thinking of giving you some of that wool for a long time, but your elder brother refused. He said it was a good Japanese product, and now they are clamoring for a boycott of Japanese products, and told me not to use them to cause trouble. But we also want to Only by making good things yourself can you resist other people's things." Peifang pouted a little dissatisfied, she really wanted to share her husband's feelings with relatives and friends, but she couldn't do so.Housewives don't care about politics, and their attitudes towards Japan are completely divided in two: one half hates them, and the other half loves the exquisite daily necessities made in Japan.

Zhao Yihan sat on the side and quietly listened to the conversation between Peifang and Qingqiu. She sighed with emotion: "We had time to develop ourselves, but we wasted a lot of time and energy on unnecessary civil wars. Life is hateful, but they are united as one The attitude of our country is not comparable to ours. You can see that Japan has become a powerful country in the past 20 years since the city of the League of Nations, and the country has developed rapidly. But look at us, there are very few decent railways. Even Shanghai can't catch up with other people's city prosperity, and if China and Japan go to war in the future, how can we compete with others."

Listening to Zhao Yihan's words, Qingqiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Peifang said helplessly: "Now that the Northeast is occupied by the Japanese, how can the Japanese goods be able to stop it?" Feng Ju said that the Japanese are going to carefully manage the Northeast, and they want to use the resources of the Northeast to conquer the places inside the customs. .”

There was silence in the room, and there was a gust of wind outside, Zhang Ma opened the door and came in with a few flakes of snow on her body.Qingqiu looked at the snowflakes on Zhang Ma's body and asked in surprise: "What time is it? Is it snowing outside?"

It's almost eleven o'clock, young mistress, please stay here today, young mistress Peifang and Ms. Zhao, it's snowing heavily outside.Now the snow on the ground is very thick, and it is difficult for cars to walk.Mama Zhang added coal to the fireplace, and the stove was booming.

During the silence, there was a sudden rush of footsteps, followed by a loud voice, Qingqiu frowned and stood up: "Who is here at this time?"

Just as the door was pushed open, Zhao Zhongshu came in in a hurry, with surprise on his face and clenched fists.Zhao Yihan stood up, she stared at her elder brother's face, as if she had never seen him before.Qingqiu's heart moved, she stepped forward and looked into Zhao Zhongshu's eyes, her trembling lips would not say a word for a long time.

Yes - Qingqiu's voice trembled unreasonably.Zhao Zhongshu nodded, and said word by word: "Bai Shaoyi is fine. Their boat really encountered robbers at sea and was delayed on the road for a while. Now their boat is dead and docked safely. He is fine now. It was specifically confirmed by the Hong Kong office, and I think Shaoyi's telegram will arrive tomorrow."

Listening to Zhao Zhongshu's words, Qingqiu felt that the heavy burden on her body disappeared all of a sudden, the anger she had been carrying all the time suddenly relaxed, and her eyes darkened and she fainted.

Peifang and Zhang Ma looked at Qingqiu who was lying on the bed and asked Liu Chunjiang a little worriedly: "Qingqiu is okay, I was really scared to death just now."

Liu Chunjiang put the stethoscope in the box, and said to Mama Zhang and Peifang, "Don't worry, Qingqiu is fine. She passed out because she was too excited. She has been worrying about Shao Yi's situation for the past few days, and she didn't worry about it." Take a good rest. If you relax suddenly now, you will faint. Wait for her to wake up and eat some light food first, and then add it slowly. Xiaolian is also waiting for news at home. I prescribed some vitamins. Eat as much as you want, it doesn't matter if you don't." Mama Zhang thanked Liu Chunjiang and sent him out.Peifang said to Zhang's mother: "I'm here to watch Qingqiu, Zhang, please send Dr. Liu out first. Where are Mr. Zhao and Miss Zhao? Why did they disappear in a blink of an eye?"

In the study downstairs of Bai's house, Zhao Zhongshu was breaking away from Zhao Yihan's hand with a dark face: "What are you bringing me here for? You're causing trouble again. How many times have I told you to calm down. You It’s been crying for corruption all day long. You know what the country looks like, do you think there is a chance of winning if it is really tough?”

"Don't pretend to be confused, big brother, don't take it out on me, now that Shao Yi is safe and sound, you feel a little bit disappointed." Zhao Yihan smiled sarcastically.Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, she was slapped hard on the face.

"Shut up, if you dare to say a word of nonsense, I'll—" Zhao Zhongshu became grim, he grabbed Zhao Yihan's collar tightly, and almost strangled her to death.
