Golden Pink Building

Hearing that her in-laws are coming back, Qingqiu is both happy and worried. The family is separated in two places. Qingqiu naturally hopes to reunite as soon as possible. Over the past few years in Shanghai, although she and Bai Shaoyi have closed their doors to live a small life, they are still free .But there is no elder around to help guide, always a little uncertain, like this time, Qingqiu deeply felt that she and Bai Shaoyi were alone and helpless, and wished for someone to give them advice as a backer.Even if Bai Wenxin didn't say anything, there was an experienced old man in the family, so they felt a lot more at ease.But Qingqiu was also worried, if her in-laws knew about that, how would she deal with herself in front of her in-laws?

Qingqiu's face was joyful at first, but then became hesitant in a blink of an eye. Bai Shaoyi heard that her parents were coming back, and she had another thought. Japan was pressing China step by step, and the government was rushing to prepare for the war and kept purchasing countless weapons from Germany. , and invite their officers to come and train the army.The equipment of the Chinese army has also gradually increased. Although the army uses purchased weapons and invites foreigners to be instructors, it still cannot form a self-contained system, and its combat effectiveness is still much stronger than before.Japan believed that the Chinese army had already posed a threat to them, and negotiated with Germany asking them to terminate their cooperation with China.My father worked hard as an ambassador, and he has already made a lot of progress.From his father's letter, Bai Shaoyi could see that the German government's attitude towards the government was getting colder and colder. It might be a good thing for him to come back now.But when her father came back, Bai Shaoyi always felt a little bit tied, and his revenge plan was about to run aground.Bai Shaoyi looked at Qingqiu's face and remembered Zhao Zhongshu's words: "Okay, I got it, you told Mama Zhang that we won't be going down for dinner tonight, and you told Mama Zhang that dinner should be lighter. There is nothing left to do."

Taohua listened to Bai Shaoyi's order and immediately withdrew. Bai Shaoyi looked at Qingqiu's worried face and couldn't help pinching her cheek: "Don't worry, don't you know what my parents are like? They completely believe Your character, which gentleman, my father knows better than us. My mother is the most sensible person, how could she put the blame on you?" Bai Shaoyi said, putting her arms around Qingqiu and whispering in her ear Said softly: "Qingqiu, I know your thoughts, and you also know mine. We are confidants to each other. I will live up to you in this life, no matter whether the future is wind or rain, we will walk through it together."

Qingqiu slowly calmed down, she was still a little worried: "You still don't understand the heart of being a mother, if you think about waiting for Xiao Zhu and Yuan Yuan to grow up in the future, one day Xiao Zhu's wife suddenly said that there is a baby A high-ranking person is pursuing her. That person may also threaten the safety of Xiaozhu. You can still calmly say that people have the right to express their opinions, and you also have the right to insist on your own opinions? It must be partial to your son. My little pig is naturally the best, how can you still not know about other men. What is his wishful thinking, that is your fault. That parent who does not favor his own children? All mistakes are subconscious Help the child to justify it, and finally reason can overcome emotion, and calm down to teach the child. Parents blame me, I am not sad. It is just sad that I suddenly encountered an indiscriminate disaster.”

Listening to Qingqiu's words, Bai Shaoyi suddenly clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "Haha, I didn't realize that my wife is a psychologist. You are too accurate in grasping the mood of being a parent. People's hearts are biased, but some people are Only when reason overcomes emotion and understands the truth can it appear more fair. Some people are overwhelmed by emotion and selfish, so they are very tolerant towards themselves and their families, and very harsh towards others. But you Do you think my parents are like that? They are rational and irrational people. Maybe my father and mother will think that my daughter-in-law is good, who can compare with them. Don’t worry, Qingqiu, I won’t make things difficult for you of."

Qingqiu thinks about it carefully, Bai Wenxin and his wife are indeed extremely reasonable people, they are extremely shrewd in the world, so naturally they won't bring trouble to their daughter-in-law with such a trivial matter.It's just that Qingqiu can't know what Bai Wenxin and his wife are thinking.

"It can only be like this. Who is that threatening letter? I think you should ask Lao Zhao for help. If you call the police, I don't think the police can find anything, but it will add to the chaos. By the way, why didn't you stay?" Xia Lao Zhao thanked him well. He offered to send me there today." Qingqiu remembered that Lao Zhao had helped a lot, but they owed Zhao Zhongshu a lot of favors, why Bai Shaoyi refused to leave Zhao Zhongshu for dinner , but came up by itself.

Listening to Qingqiu's words, Bai Shaoyi couldn't help complaining in her heart, hmph, I knew it was the weasel who gave the chicken New Year's greetings, and he really wanted to go out with Qingqiu on his own initiative, is it difficult to make a call to himself?It's cool to go out with Qingqiu!Bai Shaoyi couldn't help imagining Zhao Zhongshu's smug expression in her heart, and said with a smirk: "Old Zhao, don't worry, why would he be angry? Believe it or not, if I call him at this time, he will definitely He came here immediately. You can order him hard, he has Don Quixote’s chivalry, and his favorite thing is to serve you ladies.”

Qingqiu didn't know about the lawsuit between her husband and Zhao Zhongshu, so she couldn't help but angrily said: "What are you talking about? What do you mean most like serving ladies? This is just a joke. If people hear it, those who don't know it will think it's him He is a frivolous person. Are you making fun of Lao Zhao or me? But I always feel that Lao Zhao is too deep, and he always seems to have something on his mind. When I didn’t get married before, I thought he was alone It’s okay to be yin and yang, but it’s even worse when you get married.” Qingqiu recalled what happened during the day, and couldn’t help but sigh because of Xiuzhi’s situation. The man’s mind is really hard to guess. Back then, Zhao Zhongshu fell in love with Xiuzhi at first sight. Lao Zhao really did everything he could to marry Xiuzhi.

Who knew that they were really married, and I didn't see how good their relationship was. On the contrary, Lao Zhao had been outside for a longer time, and Yingying and Yanyan beside him were not broken.Sometimes Qingqiu will find that Zhao Zhongshu has been quietly spying on him, and when Qingqiu looks over, Zhao Zhongshu will immediately turn his eyes away.

"Have you noticed it too? In fact, Lao Zhao is very stubborn. Eight cows can't bring back what he's looking for. Let's leave it alone, let's eat. Finally, when the clouds bloom and the moon shines, our family will We're going to be reunited." Bai Shaoyi leaned on the head of the bed easily, and Zhao Zhongshu told him to hide in a corner and lick his wounds.Those who coveted Qingqiu also retreated in spite of the difficulties, and the lawsuit at hand was almost over.Bai Shaoyi felt that the dark clouds all over the sky dissipated, and any threatening letters were no problem.

Qingqiu still felt a little uneasy in his heart, did he really give up over there?Although the gentleman didn't look particularly angry when he heard Qingqiu's clear rejection, but whoever can guess the mind of the superior is always in a favorable position, and they can only be in a disadvantaged position.There are also threatening letters, no matter how Qingqiu thinks about it, Qingqiu is a little uneasy. In the past, most of the lawsuits that Bai Shaoyi took over were that the family fell out over money, and even killed someone.Waiting for the verdict to come down and hate the other party, but no one will send letters to the lawyer to threaten him.How can you send letters to intimidate lawyers now?

But her worries dissipated the next morning.In the morning, Mama Zhang sent a package saying that someone gave it to Qingqiu. Qingqiu opened it and found out that it was her own poems and articles. These articles, poems and articles were published in various newspapers and periodicals. Now it has been neatly collected, and each chapter is annotated.The annotations on some poems are actually much longer than the articles.Seeing those handwritings, Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu were both shocked, it's hard to understand who has collected such a complete collection!Bai Shaoyi sighed with emotion: "I'm ashamed of myself, do I care too little for you?" Bai Shaoyi naturally read Qingqiu's articles, but he was not so careful.

However, Qingqiu glanced at Zhang Ma and said, "Put this away." Then Qingqiu turned to Bai Shaoyi: "What are you feeling? People are in control, so naturally there are many people who respond to Denggao. What about you? You Can you give up the time to read the dossier to play this? What I want is not a loyal reader, why are you angry with an outsider?"

Bai Shaoyi couldn't help grinning.Qingqiu understands that this is considered to be the end, which gentleman has no more unreasonable thoughts, she can rest assured, after all, she is a person who has made a career out of it, and will not get into a dead end.

The coming wind and rain suddenly dissipated, Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Wenxin was coming back, and Qingqiu had a lot of things to prepare, first inform relatives and friends, call Zhang Mama to tidy things and clean the room, and prepare for Bai Wenxin and his wife to like s things.Gradually, the threatening letter was forgotten.As the days passed day by day, news came from Zhao Zhongshu that there was no clue in the threatening letter, but Zhao Zhongshu was intentional, and came to the house several times a day, so naturally Bai Shaoyi couldn't stay at home and guard Qingqiu for a moment every day.Unexpectedly, he often chooses to come when Bai Shaoyi is not at home, and every time it is high-sounding, why tell Qingqiu about the progress of the investigation, what to see if the bodyguards sent have been lazy.Or heard about the dispute between the court and the court, the contradiction between the Executive Yuan and the Nanjing Party Headquarters is getting deeper and deeper.The leader and the dean have to tear their faces apart several times.

It's a pity that Qingqiu didn't realize Zhao Zhongshu's real intention of coming. Every time Lao Zhao came, she would mention it to her husband who came home. Bai Shaoyi hated her teeth so much that she couldn't say anything. Resentment and dissatisfaction are exposed.After a few days, her face turned livid, and she was approached by Zhao Zhongshu to ridicule her. In the end, Bai Shaoyi almost got into a fight with Zhao Zhongshu.

Bai Shaoyi squeezed out a word from between his teeth with a straight face: "Say it again, I would rather be beaten to death on the street than you need to pretend to be kind. Don't expect me to die, so you can take advantage of it." Come in." Zhao Zhongshu's face suddenly changed, and the playful expression on his face disappeared immediately. He seemed to be choked by something, so he could only stare at Bai Shaoyi fiercely: "You, do you want to insult me, or Are you insulting yourself? Am I just that villain?" He didn't know why he went to Qingqiu's house again and again, he never dared to hope that Qingqiu would understand his thoughts and even accept his feelings.He went to Bai Shaoyi's house, but he couldn't come up with any reason.But every time he sees Qingqiu, Zhao Zhongshu will feel that he has confidence in his heart, and his restless mood will gradually calm down.In particular, his visit can make Bai Shaoyi furious, and this realization makes Zhao Zhongshu's heart purely happy.

In his opinion, he is like a beggar who is about to starve to death on the street, and Bai Shaoyi is like a rich man sitting in a restaurant with delicacies in front of his eyes.He is already in heaven, but he refuses to give himself a little warmth, and is still questioning his character.Zhao Zhongshu's clenched fists began to turn white, and he couldn't hold back his anger anymore: "Do you want to fight? I'll stay with you to the end!" Bai Shaoyi was burning with jealousy, he was tormented by the brotherhood and jealousy, tearing, listening At Zhao Zhongshu's words, Bai Shaoyi grabbed Zhao Zhongshu's collar and responded viciously: "Hit it, hit it, why don't I dare!"

The two of them were about to start fighting in Bai Shaoyi's elegant office. At this moment, Qingqiu suddenly opened the door, and she smiled and said, "Shaoyi, there is news about father and mother's boat, they will arrive tomorrow—what's the matter with you guys?" ?" As soon as Qingqiu opened the door, she felt a murderous aura rushing towards her face, and she looked at her husband and Lao Zhao in disbelief as if they were enemies meeting each other, and they were about to fight to the death when they met on a narrow road.

Bai Shaoyi and Zhao Zhongshu put on their clothes at the same time with smiling faces and let go of each other: "Haha we, we have nothing to do and want to exercise." Bai Shaoyi came to Qingqiu wagging his tail and said, "Why did you come in person? Just call if you have something to do." Qingqiu was a little surprised that Zhao Zhongshu would appear in her husband's office at this time, she nodded to Lao Zhao, turned her head to her husband and said, "I'm out on business, the publishing house called me today Invite me to talk about things. Before I went out, I received news from my father and mother and I will drop by to tell you. You are talking about things, you invited Lao Zhao to come to eat at home tonight. We have never thanked him properly." Qingqiu invited Zhao Zhongshu to dinner at home in the evening.

Bai Shaoyi knew that Qingqiu was expressing his gratitude for what happened last time, he just wanted to find an excuse to prevent Zhao Zhongshu from coming to the house to have dinner and be an eyesore, but Zhao Zhongshu immediately agreed with a smile.He intentionally put his arms around Bai Shaoyi's shoulder: "Your brother and sister are so polite, how can I thank Shaoyi for our years of relationship. In the future, if you have anything to do, just say it directly. Uncle and aunt are coming back? It's great, what tomorrow Time boat, I'll pick it up."

"The boat at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I have to leave first." Qingqiu looked at the time and hurried to leave.Zhao Zhongshu thought of something and asked: "It's that publishing house. It has been inspected very strictly recently. Don't do anything that promotes redness." Qingqiu said with some distress: "You know how do I know new ideas? I am I specially made a science book for children. Teach children some knowledge about plants and animals. There are illustrations and illustrations in it, which make children look more popular. Who knows that they all say that no one likes to read such things, and now The most popular ones are either new thoughts or romance novels. Today, the editor-in-chief told me that finally a bookseller is willing to publish, and asked me to take a look.”

At the beginning, Qingqiu only wanted to teach Yuanyuan and Xiaozhu some biological knowledge. She wrote all the knowledge points in easy-to-understand words, drew illustrations, and some even wrote short stories.Slowly accumulating a thick stack of manuscripts, Chu Huan had a child, and she saw Qingqiu's drawing for the children and encouraged her to publish it as a book for more mothers to teach their children.Encouraged by Qingqiu's friends, she was eager to try. Xiuzhu and Meili also liked Qingqiu's writing, coaxing her to publish a book. Meili and Xiuzhu also helped Qingqiu redraw illustrations and proofread the manuscript.Qingqiu doesn't like trouble, but being encouraged by the people around her, she is determined to publish a book.

Unexpectedly, the reality poured cold water on the enthusiasm. Bai Shaoyi said that she would pay for it herself, but Qingqiu still wanted to work hard.Now that she finally got news, she naturally didn't want to let it go.Zhao Zhongshu followed immediately: "Where is your appointment? I'll take you there personally. It's very chaotic outside now. Those booksellers save fuel? I'll go and see and don't tell them to lie to you."

Bai Shaoyi became anxious immediately: "I'll take you there, Qingqiu, let's go!" He didn't want to see his wife surrounded by flies.

"You have to go to court later. I have nothing to do today, and everyone on the ground in Shanghai wants to show me face?" Zhao Zhongshu looked at Bai Shaoyi's shocked face and wagged his tail triumphantly.

Qingqiu seemed to see two dogs fighting in a trance, she shook her head to drive away the absurd illusion.In the end, in Bai Shaoyi's infinitely sad eyes, Zhao Zhongshu followed Qingqiu away.

The matter was hit by Zhao Zhongshu, that bookseller was treacherous and cunning, he seemed to have discovered the value of Qingqiu's book, but thinking that Qingqiu was an ignorant young lady, he planned to coax Qingqiu to hand over the manuscript, and change his face to throw Qingqiu away , in addition signed and published.As a result, when he saw the people behind Qingqiu, his eyeballs almost fell out.The matter ended with the bookseller paying generous remuneration and fully respecting Qingqiu's opinion.Zhao Zhongshu was very surprised by the resolution of the matter. The bookseller controlled most of the publishing business in Shanghai, so he had some background. He wanted to dawdle for a few rounds, but unexpectedly he readily agreed.The bookseller might have lost money in this business, Zhao Zhongshu thought to himself, could it be that someone quietly contributed behind the scenes?

Hiding the doubts in his heart, Zhao Zhongshu decided to investigate quietly.

With the prospect of publishing a book, Qingqiu can put all his thoughts on welcoming his in-laws back for the time being.The whole house was completely new, the room of Bai Wenxin and his wife was rested and replaced with their favorite furnishings, Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu kept asking Qingqiu when grandpa and grandma would come back all day long.Qingqiu directed the servants of this family to make a lot of snacks and meals that Bai Wenxin and his wife liked, preparing for them to eat what they liked when they came back.

As soon as Bai Wenxin and his wife returned home, Mrs. Bai Jin Ying looked around the house and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you have really worked hard at housework these years at home." Jin Ying held Qingqiu's hand and patted it lovingly. "I don't have any credit for it. It was Zhang Ma who helped me. I am young and inexperienced. I asked my mother to teach me where the rain boots were not right. My father and mother have worked hard on the road. Let's go up and rest first. Come down, little pig, don't get tired." Grandpa is here!" Qingqiu stretched out his hand to hug the child, the little pig is almost six years old, boys like sports, Qingqiu was worried that the little pig would tire out Bai Wenxin.

Bai Wenxin hugged his grandson and did not let him go. When they went abroad, Little Pig hadn't left yet. When he finally saw his grandson, he said it was impossible not to be excited. "It doesn't matter, we were not around when he was just born. It's a pity to miss the process of his grandson growing up from a baby to such a big age. I don't want to miss any details of the child's growth in the future." Bai Wenxin loves his granddaughter, but Xiaozhu is not He is a grandson, the future heir of the Bai family, and he has even deeper expectations for Little Pig.

Jin Ying pulled Yuan Yuan: "You follow grandma upstairs, grandma brought you good things. I remember when grandma went abroad, my precious little princess was just so tall. Who knows that you will grow up to be a big girl in a blink of an eye Yes. I bought you a lot of clothes and toys abroad."

Yuan Yuan put his arms around Mrs. Bai's waist and said coquettishly, "Thank you grandma, thank you grandpa. Dad is right. Tossing a coin in the pond will make your wish come true."

After all, Bai Wenxin couldn't bear the weight of his grandson. He put down the little pig, sat on the sofa and waved to Yuan Yuan: "Which pond is it? What wish did my little princess make?"

"A few days ago, my father took me to the cathedral. When there was no worship, my father and I made a wish quietly by the pool in front of the altar. My father said that if we put the coins in the pool and make a devout wish, the wish will come true! My wish is for a new dress and a new toy, and my father's wish is—" Yuan Yuan looked at Bai Shaoyi, and she suddenly laughed, covering her face with her hands: "I heard him when he made a wish, and my father's wish is Hope to be with mom forever. Mom loves him forever!"

As Yuan Yuan looked at Bai Shaoyi from between his fingers, he stuck out his tongue and slipped into Bai Wenxin's arms: "Grandpa, will Dad be angry?"

The child's childish words made everyone laugh out loud, a blush flew across Qingqiu's face, and she cast a coquettish look at her husband.Bai Shaoyi stood there with a thick skin, and Bai Wenxin patted Yuan Yuan's back with a smile: "Your father won't be angry. He has a thick skin!"

No one in the Bai family noticed that Zhao Zhongshu had left without a trace.
