Little Fujin

Mr. Hua is about 50 years old and not tall. He is a little old man who smiles all day long.He is a good-tempered person, obsessed with academics, and knows nothing about worldly affairs. Mrs. Hua takes care of the family affairs.

Although Mr. Hua teaches in Shanghai, the students who worship under him are scattered in all directions just like Fang Ze, and most of them are not by his side.Lin Ruan was the only student by his side. Mr. Hua's family and Lin Ruan supported each other through a year of chaos in Shanghai. During this period, they formed a deep friendship.

Lin Ruan had never met such a person before, Fang Fang taught him more ideals and ambitions, and Mr. Hua, he taught Lin Ruan how to live in a subtle way.

People of the older generation are very good at living. Young people always feel that life is very difficult and unsatisfactory everywhere, but the people of the older generation have found the most comfortable place through the tempering of time.They have reconciled with others and themselves over the long years, and they have a calmness and ease that young people do not have.

After the meal, Lin Ruan and Mr. Hua cleaned up the dining table, and Mr. Hua washed the dishes under Mrs. Hua's instructions.The master who usually reprimands Fang Qiu in architecture is now like any man, listening to his wife's scolding, he doesn't choke a word, and occasionally says a few witty words, which makes his wife laugh.They have been married to each other for 30 years.

Thirty years, that is a period of time longer than Lin Ruan's age, he doesn't know if he and Zhan Xi will be like this in the future.

Mr. Hua told Lin Ruan that it takes courage to get married, and the future is uncertain. You have to have the courage to face the future years with him at this moment.

Lin Ruan does not lack courage, as long as that person is Zhan Xi, Lin Ruan will not be afraid of good or bad in the future.

"In addition to courage, there is also a responsibility." Mr. Hua said to Lin Ruan, "When I was young, I was full of passion, and I felt that there would be a day when my love would run dry. But what should I do if that day really comes? I'm gone. Why not? No, because what you promised at the beginning was for a lifetime, and you have to be responsible for the promise of this lifetime. "

Lin Ruan frowned slightly, and Mr. Hua smiled and said, "This doesn't sound so romantic, you children don't like to hear it."

Lin Ruan thought for a while and asked, "Is there no exception?"

"Of course there are exceptions," Mr. Hua immediately became interested. "Like me and your wife, we have been together for 30 years! You don't know, 30 years ago, when I first met your wife, I was amazed." It's terrible. At that time, I thought, why is this girl so beautiful, I must ask her to be my wife!"

When Mr. Hua got excited, he spoke his hometown dialect.While listening, Lin Ruan thought of Zhan Xi again.

When Zhanxi is not around, Lin Ruan always thinks of him easily. There is a strange cloud in the sky, and he wants to show it to Zhanxi. He wants to listen to the sound of the Huangpu River with Zhanxi.Occasionally, a gust of wind brushes against Lin Ruan's cheeks, which resembles Zhan Xi's gentleness.

Zhan Xi, Lin Ruan rolled these two words in his heart, Zhan Xi.

One of the compradors that Lin Ruan sought had no news, and another reliable one got the ferry ticket.Lin Ruan exchanged four small yellow croakers for four boat tickets, and the comprador told him to set off early in the morning and told him to make preparations early.

Lin Ruan told Mr. Hua the news, and Mr. Hua's family packed up.Lin Ruan returned to her residence and began to pack her things.The night quietly enveloped Shanghai Bund. This city that never sleeps is shrouded in the shadow of the coming war. Only the water of the Huangpu River remains calm.

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao went upstairs when they heard the movement, and asked Lin Ruan, "Are you leaving?"

Lin Ruan stopped what he was doing, looked at them and nodded, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go too?"

Both Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao shook their heads, "We have to wait for Ah Fu to come back."

Ah Fu is their son.

Lin Ruan didn't live here at the beginning. When he arrived in Shanghai, he rented another house. He didn't understand anything at that time.

Later, he was picked up by Ah Fu on the street, and later he rented their house.

Lin Ruan knew that he was a very lucky person, and all he met were very good people.

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao helped Lin Ruan pack up his things, and waited until the dead of night, the surroundings were quiet, and even the yellow dog stopped barking.Lin Ruan stuffed two gold bars under the quilt, carried the box and went downstairs.

The chaotic situation can always make people closer. Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao sent Lin Ruan to the door, and Mrs. Zhao took Lin Ruan's hand, "You are renting in our house, then you and we are very destined Yes. When you come to Shanghai in the future, remember to come to us.”

Lin Ruan nodded, Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao stood at the door, watching Lin Ruan leave.

The pier was very windy, and Lin Ruan and the others were not the only ones who had to leave, all the people coming and going, wearing coats and carrying suitcases, everyone was in a hurry.

Lin Ruan received Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua, but Hua Ying was not around.

"Where's Huaying?" Lin Ruan asked.

"There are too many people, they got separated." Mrs. Hua was anxious.There were many people coming and going, and they bumped into Mr. Hua inadvertently, causing him to stagger.Lin Ruan helped the two old people, turned around and looked, the road was full of people, and he didn't know where to find them.

The two old people panicked, only Lin Ruan remained calm.He took out two boat tickets to Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua, and said, "You guys wait here. If the boat arrives, you want to get on board. I'll go to Huaying, and we'll meet up on the boat."

Lin Ruan confessed: "You must go up, don't wait for us, I will go up after I find Huaying."

Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua nodded, and Lin Ruan settled the two elderly people, gathered up their coats, and turned to find Hua Ying against the flow of people.

The crowd was noisy, Lin Ruan's yelling was almost useless, the flow of people was like a raging river rolling Lin Ruan, making it difficult for him to move.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the pier. It was the arrival of the boat, and the crowd rushed to the boat. Lin Ruan was a little anxious.

"Brother Lin Ruan..." Lin Ruan vaguely heard Hua Ying's cry, he looked around and saw a girl in a red hat across the street waving desperately at him.

Lin Ruan saw someone and hurried through the crowd.He walked very hard, but finally got Huaying.

Hua Ying was a bit embarrassed by the crowd, she supported Lin Ruan's arm and said, "I lost my salute."

"Is there anything important in there?"

Huaying said: "They are all clothes and books."

Lin Ruan said: "If you lose those things, throw them away, and buy them later."

He took Huaying and walked towards the pier together. At a glance, there were dark heads in front of him.Suddenly someone shouted, "Here come the soldiers!"

The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, like water splashed into a hot oil pan, making people's brains hurt from the noise.

The defenders did not allow anyone to leave Shanghai, which is why they had to board the ship in the early hours of the morning.

Lin Ruan glanced back, and saw that the cart filled with soldiers had really arrived. Many soldiers with guns got out of the cart. Boat."

Lin Ruan dragged Hua Ying through the crowd with difficulty.

Amidst the din, gunshots were piercing.I don't know whose gun went off, a man beside Huaying fell straight down, and a blood-red flower splashed on his chest.

Huaying screamed, Lin Ruan covered her mouth instantly, and pulled her into the crowd.

The crowd dispersed with a whoosh, and a circle was formed where the man fell. Before everyone could react, Lin Ruan pulled Hua Ying and quickly ran towards the boat.

There was a mess below the boat, and the boat did not give way too much. Almost all the sailors came out to maintain order, barely supporting the ticket check, and the people on the deck were ready to rush forward at any time.

On the ship, Zhan Xi frowned, and a foreigner hurried over and asked, "Sir, the pier is in chaos now, and the military is involved, should we sail?"

"Wait." Zhan Xi clenched his fingers, another foreigner walked in, Zhan Xi looked at him, and he shook his head.Zhan Xi closed her eyes fiercely, "Look again."

The foreigner on the side said anxiously: "Sir, almost all the people with tickets have boarded the boat, and we can't wait any longer."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, there was a gunshot from the pier, not one shot, but several shots in succession.

Zhan Xi still didn't speak, and his expression became more and more serious.

Suddenly, a foreigner walked into the room carrying a fat man, and said, "Sir, this man said he has seen the man in the photo."

Zhan Xi paused, turned around, and looked at the fat man.A foreigner next to him held a photo of Lin Ruan and asked in unproficient Chinese: "Have you seen this person?"

The fat man was intimidated by the foreigner before, and when he saw the photo, he immediately said, "I've seen it before, I've done business with this little boss."

"Where is he now?" Zhan Xi asked.

"This...how do I know this?" The fat man looked at Zhan Xi anxiously.

Zhan Xi didn't have that much patience anymore. Just as the foreigner on the side was about to make a move, the fat man saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "He...he also bought a boat ticket!"

Zhan Xi looked up at him, and the fat man said: "He bought four tickets for the boat like me. If there is no accident, he should also be on the boat."

Zhan Xi looked at the fat man and said in a deep voice, "It's better that what you said is true."

He turned around and ordered: "Now check the people on board."

A person went, and a series of gunshots came, accompanied by the wailing and scolding of the crowd.The foreigner said: "Now it's too late to search one by one, but all the people who have tickets have already boarded the boat. I think we can sail first and look for it when it's safe."

As the gunfire became more and more urgent, Zhan Xi knew that he couldn't wait any longer, he closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Let's sail."

A ray of morning light pierced through the dark clouds to the earth, and the ship started slowly, leaving all the mess on the shore there.

Lin Ruan dragged Huaying to the railing of the deck, looked at the morning light in the sky, and let out a long sigh of relief.
