Golden Pink Building

Qingqiu looked at her daughter's triumphant eyes, and tapped Yuanyuan's forehead amusedly: "You little thing, it's my fault to find you." Mom used her identity to suppress others, and it was you who wronged me. Those who know their mistakes can correct them, can constantly reflect on themselves, and only those who correct their mistakes have a future.Yuan Yuan expressed his opinion to Qingqiu confidently, looking at her daughter's expression and demeanor was exactly the same as that of Bai Shaoyi, Qingqiu lamented the magic of blood relationship in her heart, and frowned helplessly, although she was very proud of having a child who was too clever It's also exhausting. "Okay, I blamed you, I'm sorry. Hurry up and do your homework, and you are not allowed to play if you don't finish it." Qingqiu took her mother's airs and frowned pretending to be angry, but in fact there was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, Yuan Yuan is an assertive child who can argue with his parents at a young age. It seems that Shao Yi's mantle is about to be passed on.

Yuan Yuan giggled cheerfully and ran away with his brother next to him.Little pig didn't understand what his mother and sister said just now, he looked curiously at his sister and then at his mother, and said strangely: "What's wrong with sister?" Qingqiu smiled and pushed Xiao pig: "Your sister is triumphant. You are not allowed to run out, just play in the garden for a while, you are not allowed to run around, and you are not allowed to go to remote places."

"Oh, mom is so long-winded, I get it. You have to watch over your younger brother and don't wander around! Don't talk to strangers and don't ask for other people's things!" Yuan Yuan stomped his feet impatiently, and dragged his younger brother away.Qingqiu looked at the figures of the children leaving, the smile on his mouth disappeared.She pondered for a while, then stood up abruptly from the sofa, turned around in the living room a few times, Qingqiu bit her lip, as if she had made a big decision.Qingqiu picked up the phone and was about to dial a number when Zhang Ma came in and announced, "It's Director Zheng." Qingqiu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly called, "Please." Director Zheng is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he is fat. Dudu, with a pair of black round glasses, has a slightly bald head, a shiny forehead, and always has a kind smile on his face.He was wearing a dark blue uniform and carrying a briefcase, just like the slick manager in the Bank of Shanghai.But no one would have thought that this seemingly smooth and mature director Zheng would have the rank of second lieutenant, a figure who had lived through life and death on the battlefield.

Mrs. Bai, I came today to deliver something to you.Mr. Bai bought some gifts in Hong Kong and asked Mr. Zhao to bring them back. It happened that there was a military plane from Guangzhou to Shanghai, so Mr. Zhao asked someone to bring the things over.Director Zheng waved his hand, a driver had already come in with a few packages.Qingqiu looked at the things on the ground, thinking that it was what Bai Shaoyi said to compensate Qingqiu and the children with New Year's gifts.She was busy asking Mama Zhang to serve tea, and politely invited him to sit down. "Actually, it's nothing important. Shao Yi really is, knowing that your officer has a lot to do and still bothering him with trivial matters. Instead, I asked Director Zheng to come. This is the latest spring tea this year. You should try it." Zhang Mom was holding a tea tray with a Longquan celadon teacup in it. Director Zheng quickly stood up and took it: "Mrs. Bai, you are welcome. I was supposed to visit the house every day. When the officer left, he gave special instructions to the humble officer, and I didn't mind it." It's just following orders. Besides, Mr. Bai is serving the country, and it's reasonable to take care of his family." Director Zheng rolled his eyes, as if he had something to say.

Qingqiu naturally saw his expression, and asked with a smile: "What else is there for the director? Is it because the situation is tense recently and you can't go out easily—"

"Ah, no, Mrs. Bai, you are thinking too much. Recently, the ground in Shanghai has been quite quiet. It may be that we have taken away a few Japanese secret dens a while ago. Don't worry, Mrs. Bai, the people we sent here are all With experience and veterans, the safety of you and the children is absolutely foolproof. Ah, you are busy, so I don’t bother you if I still have some trivial matters.” Saying this, Director Zheng hurriedly stood up, bowed to Qingqiu and left.Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Qingqiu knew that Director Zheng had other official duties, so she politely sent Director Zheng to the door.

While waiting for Yuanyuan and Xiaoyu to happily unwrap the gift Bai Shaoyi sent from Hong Kong, Qingqiu remembered that she hadn't told Director Zheng about Teacher Li of Yuanyuan School.But when she thought about it again, maybe she was too suspicious. Yuanyuan's school is one of the best schools in Shanghai, and not everyone can do the teachers there.Either have real knowledge or have a good family background, and the recommenders are excellent.Maybe that teacher Li has a background in his family, he knew Zhao Zhongshu before, or he had a blind date with Zhao Zhongshu before.Zhao Zhongshu didn't care about the beauty, but the beauty was secretly fascinated, and couldn't let it go, so he came to Yuanyuan's school, trying to get some news about his crush from the child.Thinking of this, Qingqiu couldn't help laughing. She, Bai Shaoyi and many relatives and friends worked hard for Zhao Zhongshu's lifelong event, and introduced countless ladies from famous families, intellectual women, those who studied in the East, the West, those who studied art, and those who studied Scientific ones, there are even beautiful movie stars and Liyuan Hongling.In the end, Mr. Zhao turned out to be the one who didn't like it. Either he scolded Ms. Jiao with a straight face, or he didn't understand the style and ignored her.

After a few years, it turned out that there was a lot of wasted youth and the posture of being single all the time.Or Zhao Zhongshu just needs a persevering suitor in order to obediently start a family and enter into marriage.

"Mom, look at the gift that Dad gave you!" Yuan Yuan waved a small jewelry box to Qingqiu.Qingqiu opened the box, a huge aquamarine ring was quietly lying on the brocade base.Qingqiu picked up the ring and looked at it carefully. This aquamarine ring is exquisitely crafted. The gemstone is pure and flawless, just like the most beautiful color of the sea. The round gemstone is set off by a ring of broken diamonds. There is no feeling of clumsy and cumbersome.

Qingqiu likes the bright light blue very much, just like the Xiaying gauze that Jia Mu gave her when the rain came and the sky cleared.Yuan Yuan stared at the ring greedily, the little girl already knew how beautiful it was, she said in a soft voice: "Mom, this ring is so beautiful, it looks like the eyes of a little mermaid. Can I try it on? Eh Just one!" Yuan Yuan begged Qingqiu pitifully with folded hands.

"You are still a child, how can you wear it? But you can take a look. Don't act like you haven't seen anything before. Whether it's a hair ribbon or other jewelry, it makes you feel good. Don't make a fuss." It's like holding hot charcoal, so petty." Qingqiu is not particularly rare when it comes to jewellery, she insists on keeping them precious and precious, wishing to offer them up, in Qingqiu's view, these things are just gadgets.There is nothing particularly worthy of being treasured as the Imperial Seal of Heshibi.In that case, I can only feel tired and can't appreciate the fun brought by treasures.Since he could make his daughter happy for a while, Qingqiu put the ring on Yuan Yuan's hand.

Yuan Yuan took the ring and put it on his finger cheerfully, trying all ten fingers on his left and right hands.Qingqiu took the opportunity to explain to Yuanyuan the rules of wearing rings, and by the way, the principle of matching jewelry.While waiting for Yuanyuan to hold the ring and look at the brilliance refracted by the light and shadow of the gemstones under the light, Qingqiu instructed Yuanyuan to distinguish the various gemstones.

After an hour of entertaining and teaching, Yuan Yuan had lost her curiosity about the ring, so she turned around and went to play with Xiao Zhu on the train again.Qingqiu put the ring back into the box and asked Mama Zhang to prepare dinner.

"It's still that the young mistress has a different style. There is no one who looks like a young mistress. Holding a pearl baby is not a big deal. The eldest mistress of the Jin family is a lady from a rich family. The eldest lady of her family is not as Yuanyuan as ours." Half knowledgeable, she is timid in front of people. Young lady, the old lady's room has been tidied up, I will ask young lady to take a look at it later. If there is anything missing, I can make up for it." Mrs. Leng wants to see Qingqiu from the countryside, in a few days It's coming.

"I actually forgot to say, you also cleared out the room next to my mother, she will bring her niece from her natal family." Qingqiu remembered that Mrs. Leng had someone else on her trip, Song Xiuzhi, the daughter of Mrs. Leng's cousin.She lived with her father in Jiangxi since she was a child, and because her family was in the tea business, she spent most of the year in the countryside.Now that she has graduated from middle school, the adults in the family are starting to prepare for her marriage.It's a pity that the countryside on that side is very closed, so her father took his daughter back to his hometown.

Mrs. Leng is alone, and she will inevitably be lonely after a long time. Once at a relative's dinner, she happened to see Song Xiuzhi.Song Xiuzhi's father, Song Shaoping, knew that his cousin's daughter was well married, and her in-law's family was a respectable person in Shanghai.He thought that his daughter was good-looking, had gone to school, cut her hair short, and could read and write.It's better to ask my cousin to help you find a son-in-law in Shanghai than the sons of rich men in the countryside or apprentices who go to big cities.

So Song Shaoping and his wife kissed each other, brought their daughter to visit their cousin with a generous gift, and asked the cousin to help them match up.Mrs. Leng saw that Song Xiuzhi was quiet, well-educated, and a gentle girl. She was very handsome, wearing a light blue top and black skirt, with her head lowered, she suddenly looked a bit like Qingqiu at the beginning. resemblance.Mrs. Leng will inevitably live alone, but she hopes that there will be a girl behind her to talk with her.

Mrs. Leng immediately agreed: "This is a long-term plan for my daughter. There are many people from our hometown in Shanghai who go to Shanghai, and now many capable and knowledgeable people are in Shanghai. With Xiuzhi's appearance and character, I am sure I can find a good son-in-law. But do you have any plans?"

Hearing that his cousin was willing to help, Song Shaoping said happily, "I don't ask for anything, as long as my net worth is clean, the boy has the ability to do decent things, and he doesn't have bad habits, it's good for his daughter." Mrs. Leng didn't sound outrageous. , also agreed to come down.Bai Shaoyi wasn't at home, so Qingqiu was alone with the two children in Shanghai. Mrs. Leng was worried, so she discussed with her daughter to come over, first to accompany her daughter, and to talk about marriage with Song Xiuzhi by the way.

Zhang Ma was busy cleaning the house, while Qingqiu went through the people she knew, thinking about how to introduce her boyfriend to this cousin she had never met.

The next morning, Mrs. Leng brought Song Xiuzhi here not long after the children went to school. Mrs. Leng looked good after years in her hometown.In addition to the sudden graying, the spirit is more vigorous.Qingqiu saw a girl getting out of the car, wearing a light blue jacket with a purple skirt underneath, and carrying a small blue cloth package, although she was timid, but there was tranquility between her eyebrows and eyes, she suddenly looked at her. It's really similar to Qingqiu.It's just that their temperaments are different, Qingqiu is supernatural and refined, but this Song Xiuzhi is calm and quiet Xiaojiabiyu.

The mother and daughter met with a lot of emotions. Mrs. Leng looked at Qingqiu and stretched out her hand to hold her: "You are alone at home, and you don't know how to take care of your body. Why have you lost a lot of weight?" Mrs. Leng looked at her daughter distressedly. Encountered difficult things at sea, Qingqiu must have been very sad during that time, while supporting the family, he also had to worry about Bai Shaoyi's safety.Qingqiu is a very strong person who keeps everything on her mind. She doesn't want to lose her composure in front of others, so she can only torture herself behind her back.Fortunately, there was no danger.Uncle is fine.Poor her daughter suffered.

Mrs. Leng thought about it and couldn't help but said: "Finally, it's a bright future. My uncle must be killed. Don't worry, I only have one daughter for you. If you have one——I don't want to live!" Wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Qingqiu thought about the bitterness of those few days, and his eyes became hot: "Mom, don't talk, you come to recruit me just when I'm ready. This is Xiuzhi's cousin." Qingqiu looked at Xiuzhi who was standing aside, smiled and said She says hello.

Mrs. Leng pointed to Qingqiu and said: "Although you have never met before, you are real cousins. When your cousin was young, I took her back to my hometown. It's just that you were not born at that time."

Song Xiuzhi shyly went forward to say hello to Qingqiu. Qingqiu knew that she had been living with her parents in a remote place in the countryside, and she must have felt uncomfortable when she first came to Shanghai.She took Mrs. Leng with one hand and Xiuzhi with the other: "Let's stop standing outside. Since you're here, don't be restrained. Let's go in and check your room first. I'll ask Taohua to take care of you. If you need anything Talk to her, you can talk to me or your aunt directly while talking. Don't look outside."

Xiuzhi came to the metropolis for the first time, and she was already dazzled by the eccentricities of Shanghai just after getting off the boat.At this moment, it seemed that there was still a lot of traffic in front of her, the bustle of the feasting and feasting, the car horns and all kinds of noises were still ringing in her ears, her head was still dizzy, and she felt that there was no solid place under her feet.Listening to Qingqiu's kind and warm words, Xiuzhi could only keep nodding her head in agreement, and entered the house like flying through the clouds.

Looking at Xiuzhi's appearance, Qingqiu knew that she was still not used to it, so he sent her to the room and asked Xiuzhi to rest, then Qingqiu took her mother to the next room.The mother and daughter were finally able to sit down and talk quietly.Mrs. Leng sighed constantly when she heard Qingqiu talk about the experience during this period, and when she heard that Bai Shaoyi had safely boarded the ship to Europe, Mrs. Leng clasped her hands together and said reverently: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you. Before I came, I made a wish in the temple at home. Yes, and I specially invited the masters to recite the scriptures for a few days. It’s all right now, don’t worry too much. My uncle is from overseas, and I’m familiar with everyone who comes and goes, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Qingqiu asked about the situation in his hometown, and then asked his uncle how he was.Mrs. Leng had a contented smile on her lips: "Hello everyone, the past few years in the countryside have been pretty good, there have been no major disasters, and the food is cheap. Your uncle is like a fish in water, teaching children to read in school, bragging, and talking on the street. It’s much better than watching other people’s faces in Beijing to make a living. Although Xiuzhi’s father and I are cousins, but his father had the best relationship with your grandfather back then. I think Xiuzhi is still a good person. Girl, you know a lot of people in school, don't be particularly rich, just live in peace."

"Mom liked this when she was old. I don't go to school very much now. I don't go to school very much except for class." Qingqiu roughly talked about Jiang Fanyuan, and Mrs. Leng couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said angrily: " It's human. It's just that the person you mentioned is too annoying. Your father also met such a villain back then. He won't come to pester you! Now you have to be careful with your child alone. There is such a kind of rascal When Poppy sees that the family has a small population, he will bully him."

Qingqiu didn't dare to mention how Zhao Zhongshu dealt with it, but said vaguely: "He has left Shanghai by himself now. Mom, don't worry. Mom has been on the road hard, you take a rest, I'm going to school to pick up Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhi from school. "

Today is Saturday, the school only has half a day of class, Qingqiu arranged for his mother and cousin to pick up the children from school in person.Unexpectedly, Xiaozhu stayed to practice and play football, and he would be able to leave school later, so Qingqiu first went to pick up Yuanyuan from school.

When Qingqiu came, it was just in time for Yuan Yuan's age to leave school. The students thought about having a holiday, so they rushed out of teaching happily.Qingqiu stood outside the classroom door and looked at the children who came out.Unexpectedly, after watching for a long time, I didn't see Yuan Yuan. At this time, Yuan Yuan's deskmate came over and said to Qingqiu: "Yuan Yuan was called away by Teacher Li, she is in the office."

Qingqiu was startled, she asked Yuan Yuan to wait for her in the head teacher's office. "Is it your homeroom teacher? Our Yuan Yuan didn't cause trouble." Qingqiu was annoyed inwardly, she actually forgot, and stood here for a long time in vain.

"No, our homeroom teacher didn't come today. She's sick! Teacher Li, who teaches music, asked Yuan Yuan to get the music score." Yuan Yuan's words immediately gave Qingqiu an ominous premonition.She asked the direction of the office and left in a hurry.

The office is next to the piano room, at the deepest part of the corridor.Qingqiu gently knocked on the door, and the black lacquered wooden door opened silently.When Qingqiu walked in, there was no one there, Qingqiu looked around the room.This house is small, with a desk under the window and several cabinets against the wall.Outside the window are lush sycamore branches, the sunlight is difficult to shine in through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and the room is still gloomy.

Qingqiu walked a few steps to the table.There are some homework books and stationery on the table, as well as two frames, one of which is a single photo of a girl. Although it is a black and white photo, it can still be seen that the woman on the photo has fair skin, a straight nose, and a clear outline. She smiled and showed two small canine teeth, showing a hint of playfulness in her dignity.Qingqiu thinks this is probably Teacher Li who Yuanyuan asked her about Zhao Zhongshu's whereabouts.It's just that I haven't met this person before, but I always feel a little familiar. It seems that there are people I know who look similar to her.Inside the other frame is a photo of a couple.Qingqiu felt that something was wrong. If girls in this era show other men a group photo, it means that they are already a couple with a confirmed relationship.

If Teacher Li had a crush on Zhao Zhongshu, how could she stop such a photo——Qing Qiu's eyes stopped on the group photo.Her eyes widened suddenly, and she subconsciously turned around and ran out. It was clearly Ouyang Yujian who took the photo with Teacher Li!Didn't Ouyang Yujian go to the Northeast? All sorts of seemingly irrelevant trivial matters were mixed together, and Qingqiu felt as if he was a prey caught in a trap.That Teacher Li might be——

"Ms. Bai, what are you going to do?" Qing Qiu suddenly turned to a seemingly harmless and beautiful face.Teacher Li closed the door and stood in front of Qingqiu.

"Where is Yuan Yuan!" Qingqiu had lost her fear, she stared at the person in front of her, and asked her daughter's whereabouts.

"Student Bai. Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, she will be safe. If you dare to lie to me and try to play tricks, you will never want to see your daughter and son in your life!" Teacher Li backed She raised her hand behind her, holding a gun in her hand, pointing the black muzzle at Qing Qiu.

What do you want me to do?What is your relationship with Ouyang Yujian?Qingqiu sternly questioned Teacher Li.

A flash of surprise flashed in Teacher Li's eyes, and then she regained her composure, and said coldly: "I don't want money, and I won't hurt you and your children. I just need you to send a telegram to your husband as I want."

Qingqiu immediately understood Teacher Li's plan: "Don't even think about it, even if you tie Yuanyuan and me together, my husband will not obey your request. Besides, he is not the only one in the appeal team. Could it be possible to arrest the family members of every member of the appeal group?"

"Of course you don't need to arrest everyone's family members. You only need to arrest the family members of those who are in key positions. Don't you Chinese say that those who know current affairs are outstanding? I hope you can also know current affairs!" Teacher Li Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, followed by the clash of guns and the sound of shouting.The door was kicked open vigorously, and Zhao Zhongshu appeared in front of him with a group of murderous people.

Seeing the sudden turn of events, Mrs. Li pulled the trigger on Qingqiu angrily, a gunshot sounded, Qingqiu closed his eyes and waited for the expected pain.Unexpectedly, the expected pain did not come, Qingqiu opened his eyes, and suddenly found that Zhao Zhongshu was lying on the ground holding his heart in pain, Teacher Li had been placed on the ground by Zhao Zhongshu's men and could not move.
