Golden Pink Building

Seeing Qingqiu getting embarrassed, Zhao Zhongshu first relieved Qingqiu: "I'm just joking, don't take it to heart. By the way, the postal route may not be smooth if you go further. If you want to write to Shaoyi I wrote it quickly, and I asked someone to send it out. Also, the road ahead is not so comfortable. You should go out and look around to see what you need to prepare." Zhao Zhongshu gave Qingqiu a lot of suggestions very thoughtfully .

The atmosphere in the room eased down, and Qingqiu also felt that his nerves were too tense, and it was fine to suspect others, but he was still thinking wildly!Thinking of this, she blushed a little on her face: "Thank you for reminding me, this is the first time I go out alone, and I'm just an ignorant person. Please bear with me if there is anything incomprehensible, I will write a letter right away Please help. I'll go out and have a look later." Saying that, Qingqiu immediately went to write a letter.Zhao Zhongshu didn't leave, he sat where Qingqiu was sitting just now, flipping through the book with his hand.

"Your letter is finished? I'll ask someone to deliver it right away." After a while, Kung Fu Qingqiu's letter was finished, and she took the envelope and sealed it carefully. Before she could say anything, Zhao Zhongshu called Xiao Wu behind her.Qingqiu was startled when he heard Zhao Zhongshu's voice, thinking to himself that he had already left, but he was still there. "Scare me, you have a lot of things to do, I dare not waste your precious time." Qingqiu smiled and turned to look at Zhao Zhongshu.

"I don't have anything to do. I just went to Shanghai with Mr. Fan. In fact, if I didn't have to go through such troubles by myself, I might be about to enter the ground in Jiangsu by now. In fact, this is fine now, and I can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate. I'm afraid there will be fierce battles in the future. The soldiers you saw on the road, who knows if they can survive." Zhao Zhongshu looked at the green outside the window with a serious expression.He was well-informed, and the battle reports ahead continued to come in, and the battle was tragic beyond imagination.The Japanese army is determined to occupy Shanghai. Shanghai is the gateway to the entire prosperous and prosperous south of the Yangtze River. If Shanghai falls, the capital will inevitably be lost.Although there has long been a plan to exchange space for time, how do government agencies and countless people relocate?Zhao Zhongshu became more and more worried when he thought that the battle ahead was not optimistic.

Qingqiu could tell from Zhao Zhongshu's expression that the war was not going well. Although she was a woman who didn't know anything about war and military affairs, she had read a lot of books. She still had a little insight into the terrain of Shanghai and the overall situation. "There are so many people in the country. As long as everyone is united, we will definitely win. The worst plan is that Shanghai will fall, but in that case, how will the rights and interests of all countries in Shanghai and Jiangnan be guaranteed? We are definitely not able to understand the matter. Let's look at the future Let's develop." Qingqiu comforted Zhao Zhongshu, she handed the letter to Xiao Wu, turned around and poured a cup of tea to comfort Zhao Zhongshu.

"Listening to Jun's words is better than ten years of reading. I have been educated. I'm free today, so I might as well take you out for a walk." Zhao Zhongshu's face returned to normal. He took a teacup and drank it down. clear autumn.

Qingqiu nodded, turned around and went back to get the bag to go out: "No need, just put it here. It's the safest place to be guarded by sentries. Of course, I will pay for what you want to buy." Zhao Zhongshu patted himself There was a crisp sound of silver dollars colliding in the pocket.

That makes sense, I owe you a lot of favors, what do I want you to do with money!Qingqiu insisted on taking the bag and going out.

"I think you should change your clothes. Your bag looks like an American product. You are very eye-catching in the town when you go out. Besides, we are husband and wife in their eyes. Have you seen the couple in that family? Yours and me You must count the money clearly. Mrs. Fan has a big mouth, and you don't know it." Zhao Zhongshu moved Mrs. Fan out, and Qingqiu could only obediently changed clothes according to Zhao Zhongshu's wishes and went out.

Although this town is small, it is very bustling and bustling because it is on the main road with many merchants and pedestrians.Zhao Zhongshu saw that Qingqiu was wearing a shirt with trousers underneath, he had never seen Qingqiu dressed up like this before, and kept looking at Qingqiu beside him along the way.

As soon as Qingqiu's looks, manners and attire appeared on the street, it immediately attracted countless eyes, even if she was pointed out by passers-by, even Zhao Zhongshu who was beside her couldn't stop looking at her, Qingqiu felt very uncomfortable with the thorns on her back. "It's fine for them to look at the diorama with me, but you followed suit." Qingqiu finally couldn't help complaining to Zhao Zhongshu beside him.

"Well, I didn't expect to go to the United States and become a different person. Is the life there not good? Why do you dress like a worker? Is it very hard in the United States? I know your family is together What is Shaoyi like? Everything in the family will fall on you." Zhao Zhongshu frowned, in his impression that Qingqiu should live like a poem every day.She doesn't need to worry about trivial matters at all.Who knows that Qingqiu is over and it will be hard!

"You think it's wrong. My mother and I are very used to it in the United States. When we were in Shanghai, there were so many servants around us. It made people think it was so comfortable and comfortable, but it was not free at all. Instead, we came to the United States. Afterwards, there were not so many people, and everyone became closer. You never thought, mother learned to cook. I used to tell the cook what to do, and now the two of us can set up a table for a banquet. .When the war subsides, I will cook for you to taste. By the way, how are Chunsheng and the others doing?" Qingqiu talked about life in the United States with a relaxed and joyful face.

"My younger sister and Chunsheng have left Nanjing long ago. As you know, Yihan is also a government official. She is now the vice president of the Women's Salvation Association. She has a lot of things to do with her children every day. So she first settled Chunsheng in the rear The boarding school in my home, I feel at ease running around by myself. Everyone in the Jin family is in Shanghai, except for their eldest and third child, you don’t know, the eldest brother of their family even found an errand, and it was Bai Xiongqi who helped him. They got it here. The three young masters of their family and four extremely smart people have already gotten the wind and brought the whole family to the rear. We won’t go back for dinner, let’s taste the flavor of their small place today.” Zhao Zhongshu pointed to a restaurant in front and proposed to Qingqiu.

Qingqiu also didn't want to face Mrs. Fan's probing eyes, and thought about it: "It's okay, if we don't go back, will they send someone to look for it?"

Of course they know it. Today they hold a military situation meeting, so I naturally want to avoid it.Speaking of which, Zhao Zhongshu took Qingqiu into the restaurant.Although Zhao Zhongshu was wearing casual clothes, the waiter saw Qingqiu and Zhao Zhongshu's extraordinary demeanor, so he knew that these two must have some background, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said courteously: "Sir, madam, please go upstairs to the private room!"

Qingqiu just wanted to explain their relationship, but Zhao Zhongshu said with a smile: "I picked a clean place upstairs, and my wife has been wronged for a while in a small place. Bring your special dishes."

Qingqiu's face was hot, she looked at Zhao Zhongshu in embarrassment, and suddenly saw a few soldiers coming in, and remembered that they had concealed their real relationship from the very beginning, so she should bear with it outside. "I don't pick this one, as long as it's clean and fresh. Let's go up." Zhao Zhongshu unexpectedly stretched out his hand to hold Qingqiu's arm, and led her upstairs.

Although it is a restaurant in a remote town, the chef's skills are good, the tables, chairs and benches are still clean, and the table is full of dishes after a while.Zhao Zhongshu gave a tip of one yuan to the waiter: "This is a good job, and you are also very quick. Take it and share it with the master. We will sit and talk and wait for you to come again."

The waiter had never seen that customer give a tip of one yuan all at once, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he left after thanking him repeatedly.The sound of footsteps outside gradually faded away, Zhao Zhongshu took Qingqiu's chopsticks and rinsed the tea in the teacup, and then took out his own handkerchief to wipe it before handing it to Qingqiu: "How do you know the real appearance of such a restaurant when you go out?" Make do with it outside."

Qingqiu thanked Zhao Zhongshu for taking the chopsticks, she suddenly remembered something worried and asked: "Although I don't know how to use troops to fight, but when I read newspapers in the United States and Hong Kong and told them about the situation of the war, although the Japanese were few, their weapons and equipment and tactics were evasive." We are much stronger. I listen to you. Shanghai may not be able to defend. We saw a lot of mobilized troops along the way. After all, you graduated from a serious military school. Waiting to arrive in Shanghai, do you want to Go to the battlefield!"

Zhao Zhongshu didn't expect Qingqiu to ask this question, he slightly raised his eyebrows: "Serving the country, what do you care about personal safety? It's just being loyal." Qingqiu listened to Zhao Zhongshu's words, this is serving the country, it's simply Nine deaths, must be determined to die!Qingqiu suddenly remembered all kinds of things in the past. Originally, everyone kept their own business and lived and worked in peace and contentment.Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the mountains and rivers were broken, and people were like duckweed in the big waves.I really don't know when such a day will end.A resentment rushed straight to her chest, and she couldn't help but get red eyes.

Seeing Qingqiu's change of color, Zhao Zhongshu hurriedly restrained his laughing expression: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety. Besides, the battlefield and the rear are the same in troubled times. I haven't personally led troops for many years, and I won't I led my soldiers to the battlefield in no time, and intelligence on Japan is sometimes more important than the charge on the battlefield. Don’t be sad, people who see it and don’t know it will think I’m bullying you.”

Zhao Zhongshu said as he wiped the teardrops on Qingqiu's face with his hand, the rough skin ran across his face, Qingqiu hurriedly turned his head: "I just remembered the past, and suddenly felt sad."

"Hee hee, we made a light bulb. We didn't see anything just now!" Mrs. Fan came in with her husband's arm in her arms.

"You guys really love each other. Old Fan and I are still waiting for my husband and sister to have dinner together. Instead, you came here to enjoy the world of the two of you." Mrs. Fan blinked and looked at Qingqiu, her eyes were full of teasing.

"Mr. Fan is busy with military affairs, I have already disturbed your cleanliness, there is no reason to bother without winking." Qingqiu hurriedly stood up and asked the couple to sit down.Mrs. Fan hurriedly pressed Qingqiu and said: "Let's not bother, I'm still waiting for my sister to have dinner together. Who knows that if you can't wait, you can't wait, so you can eat first. Our old Fan is idle and I have nothing to do. Come out and walk with me, there is a nice shop in front, let's go and have a look." Saying that, Mrs. Fan and Teacher Fan left together.

"Don't worry about them, let's eat first, maybe we're going to set off later." Zhao Zhongshu picked up the food and put it on the plate in front of Qingqiu.Hearing that he might be about to leave, Qingqiu didn't speak any more, and concentrated on eating.

It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to Shanghai, but Qingqiu and the others were moving slower and slower.As soon as Zhao Zhongshu arrived in Suzhou, he took Qingqiu and left Teacher Fan's army. Mrs. Fan had already been escorted back to her hometown. Qingqiu followed Zhao Zhongshu in a car and left the army station in the morning.Looking at the bleak scenery outside, Qingqiu sighed: "How do we go to Shanghai? I heard that Mrs. Fan said yesterday when Mrs. Fan was leaving that there was a fierce fight in Shanghai, and it was impossible to pass." She rushed here desperately , but still cannot enter Shanghai.

Zhao Zhongshu's face was solemn, he had always looked like this in the morning.The car was driving towards the outskirts of Suzhou, and Zhao Zhongshu suddenly stopped the car in a remote place.Qingqiu asked in surprise, "Where are we going?"

"There are only two roads in front of you. You can't enter Shanghai now. The government is already preparing to retreat from Shanghai, and you can only wait for the end of the war in Suzhou before entering. The second road, you and I go to Chongqing, and then Don't come back either." Zhao Zhongshu held Qingqiu's shoulders, his eyes sharp. "Qingqiu, I will protect you well. Because I have always loved you deeply."
