Rebirth of the Republic of China

Firecrackers crackled in the yard, blasting the snow on the ground into the sky.

The servants of the Commander's Mansion have been busy for a year, from the old housekeeper to the bodyguard driver, all received generous red envelopes.The whole yard is beaming.

The sound of firecrackers resounded through the night sky, Yu Yibo stood in the snow jumping happily, Nie Jianan was right behind him covering his little ears.

When the gunfire stopped, Yu Zhannan put his arms around Shao Xintang's waist and said to everyone, "I'm so sleepy, go to sleep!"

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Yu Zhannan pushed Shao Xintang against the door and kissed his rosy lips.

"I'm exhausted!" Shao Xintang stretched out a hand, pushed him hard, frowned and said, "Aren't you sleepy, sleep!"

"Why do they both have that red button, but I don't!" Yu Zhannan bit his delicate neck, handsome and evil like an ancient European vampire.

"What red button?" Shao Xintang was puzzled while reaching out to push his furry head away from his chest, and said, "You mean the Chinese knot?"

"That's the one, I don't know what it's called!" Yu Zhannan said confidently.

"That's for children." Shao Xintang said helplessly.

"You never gave me anything!" There was a trace of grievance in the man's arrogant voice.

"Ah?" Shao Xintang laughed out loud, and said, "What am I giving you? My deed of sale is in your hands, not the whole person is yours."

After hearing this, Yu Zhannan finally raised his head from his chest, and said with bright eyes, "You care about this matter?"

Shao Xintang raised a delicate eyebrow, and said, "How can you not care, try the feeling of selling your life contract in someone else's hands."

"So what!" Yu Zhannan said with his eyes widened, "Whether you have a contract or not, you are mine. If you want to leave, it is impossible."

Shao Xintang's heart skipped a beat, and she took out another red Chinese knot from her pocket, threw it to Yu Zhannan and said, "Here! Didn't you want it!"

Yu Zhannan took it quickly, and said pleasantly, "It's really mine!"

Shao Xintang watched him look like a domineering warlord for a while, and a child for a while, shook his head slightly, and walked into the bathroom.

The next day, Shao Xintang saw a red corner protruding from the waist of Yu Zhannan's straight green military uniform, floating up and down, looming...

After the new year, Yu Zhannan is still very busy.I heard that a big man came from Tianjin, and Tanaka Kazu specially asked him to take special care of him.Sometimes Yu Zhannan didn't come back for dinner at night, and sometimes Shao Xintang had already fallen asleep when he came back.He tiptoed to take a shower in the bathroom outside the bedroom, and warmed himself up before going to bed and hugging her in his arms.

"Why is there such a strong smell of wine?"

One day, while Shao Xintang was sleeping drowsily, Yu Zhannan hugged him into his arms and gnawed his lips with his stubble-smelling mouth.Shao Xintang couldn't help hiding, muttering and complaining.Then turned around, facing away from him.

"Damn!" Yu Zhannan scolded in a very low voice: "Little Japan, let grandpa and I eat and drink with you, and you have to laugh, making my daughter-in-law despise me! When the fight starts someday, see if I don't like it." Shoot you first!"

Shao Xintang had a very light sleep, and when she heard him speak, she couldn't help but ask, "Little Japan?"

"Go to sleep!" Yu Zhannan said, moving to the side, afraid that the smell of alcohol on his body would smell him again.

After the new year, Shao Xintang's life was extremely leisurely, and she became more and more lazy. During the day, she sometimes talked about ancient Chinese to two children, and she didn't leave the house all day long.Just when he felt that he was about to get moldy, an invitation letter came for him.

It was the 20th birthday of Qin Yuerong, the third young master of the Qin family. The Qin family held a large banquet in the old house and invited all friends to attend.

Shao Xintang did not expect that Qin Yuerong would give him an invitation letter alone, although his and Yu Zhannan's were sent to the commander's mansion together.Shao Xintang also thought that the young master might have accidentally remembered that there was such a person as him, so he dropped by.

My birthday is the fourteenth of this month, and there are two days left.Shao Xintang thinks it's not bad to think about Qin Yuerong as a kid. (He always can't remember that he is one year younger than others now!)

When I first came here, I took out my anger on him several times, but the young master was not only broad-minded and didn't care about it, he was also very friendly to him.At least the time the two met by chance while walking their horses had a good chat.

It's impossible to go to someone's birthday party without bringing a gift.Shao Xintang was thinking about buying something as a gift, and Yu Yibo happened to be going to the street to do some shopping.Shao Xintang went with her.

Taking out some of his own money from the business store, Shao Xintang bought a lot of delicious food for the two children.A group of people wandered around, but he didn't think of what to give.Because young master Qin really doesn't lack anything!

Just passing by a western watch shop, Shao Xintang asked the driver to stop, and the two children followed.

The watch store is not big, only about a dozen square meters.There are many clocks and clocks of various sizes crowded inside, and there is almost no place to stay.

A white Russian guy in his 20s was guarding the counter. He was very happy to see them coming in and greeted them warmly.

Shao Xintang looked around the watch store, then walked to the counter.The two children stood curiously in front of a two-meter tall Atlantic clock and did not follow him in.

There are many styles of watches and pocket watches in the glass counter.There are still many watch parts inside, which looks very messy.I heard the Belarusian boy say in blunt Chinese: "Sir, what do you want to see?"

"My friend's birthday." Shao Xintang said, "I want to give him a watch, what better do you have here?"

"Is your friend Mr. or Ms.? Do you want a watch or a pocket watch?" asked the little Belarusian boy.

"It's a gentleman." Shao Xintang thought for a while and said, "Pocket watch!"

Then the Belarusian guy took out more than a dozen pocket watches from the counter, all of which were beautiful and each had its own characteristics, not inferior to the world's top hand-made custom ones in the 21st century.

Shao Xintang felt that she had entered the right room.He picked up the few pieces he liked the most and compared them carefully, each had its own advantages and disadvantages, but it was quite difficult to choose.In the end, he picked out a vintage chain, the one with Zheng He's voyages engraved on the shell, and he heard the boy from Belarus say: "Mr. The ones brought back from Western Europe are not only beautiful and elegant, but the parts inside are also the most durable, so it won’t be a problem to use them for decades!”

"Really..." Shao Xintang held the watch in his hand, and after hearing what he said, he liked it more and more, and said happily: "Then I want this one, just find me a more delicate box to wrap it in." ?"

"Okay!" the Belarusian boy agreed.His store is located in a remote location. Although the items are good, rich kids generally don't go in. It's been a long time since he met such happy customers.I deliberately found a black lacquered wooden box that was also brought back from the West, and put the pocket watch in it.

Shao Xintang paid the money and felt that he had found Bao'er. Such an exquisite handmade pocket watch only cost dozens of oceans. Thinking of the watches he wore in his previous life, it cost several million, and Shao Xintang didn't think it was that good. .

On the day of the banquet, Yu Zhannan came back specially to pick up Shao Xintang.He was very busy these days, and he didn't have time to get close to Shao Xintang. He was surprised when he heard that Shao Xintang was also there, and then said to Shao Xintang with a serious face: "Don't talk too much to that brat Qin Yuerong, he doesn't treat you well. Be safe!"

Shao Xintang squinted at him, not knowing what to say to him.Does he think that the person he likes will be robbed by others?This is simply a type of mental illness, obsessive-compulsive disorder or something...

The old man of the Qin Mansion was a well-known landlord and squire in the Northeast. He is 80 years old this year and has a very high prestige in the local area.Later, when Qin Yuerong's father was in his generation, he started a lot of business and his family became more and more prosperous.Qin Yuerong's two older brothers are also good, busy with the family's business, only Qin Yuerong has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child. In this feudal family, he can still study abroad, and after returning to China, he is engaged in his favorite career. In the hospital, he was a very unpromising doctor in the eyes of his family.

Qin Yuerong's father and Yu Zhannan's father were good brothers who worshiped him. Although in Yu Zhannan's generation, the relationship between the younger generations was not as strong as that of the older generation, it was not bad.Therefore, at the birthday party held by the old man of the Qin family for Qin Yuerong himself, Yu Zhannan had to be present no matter what he said.

Ever since I saw Qin Yuerong looking at Shao Xintang in the wrong eyes at the racetrack, Yu Zhannan hadn't seen Qin Yuerong very much, and he didn't want to see him, Qin Yuerong seemed to be avoiding him too.It's just that he didn't expect that he wrote a separate invitation letter to Shao Xintang for this birthday party.Seeing Shao Xintang's naive and ignorant appearance, Yu Zhannan felt annoyed.

But he didn't know, what was even worse was still to come.

When Shao Xintang smiled and handed a black lacquered wooden box to Qin Yuerong.Standing beside him, Yu Zhannan's face turned green.

Hold!Why didn't he notice when there was an extra box in Shao Xintang's hand? It's all because of those people who stopped him at the door and wanted to have a relationship with him.

When Qin Yuerong took the box from Shao Xintang, he was stunned for a moment.I heard Shao Xintang say with a smile: "Happy birthday!"

"Thank you, thank you..." Qin Yuerong's face turned red all of a sudden, he really didn't expect Shao Xintang to give him a gift, and he also thought that if Shao Xintang could come, and he could meet him, this birthday would not be in vain for him It's not in vain that he begged his grandfather to hold such a big reception for him, just to see him again...

Shao Xintang was smiling, when Yu Zhannan next to him said strangely: "What did you give me? It's still in a box, so mysterious, open it and have a look!"

Yu Zhannan's weird voice was not at all made up by Shao Xintang.Maybe others can't hear it, but Shao Xintang has lived with him day and night for more than half a year, and he can immediately hear how strong the sour taste in these words is.

Although he despised him for being fussy about everything, Shao Xintang didn't want an irrelevant person to celebrate his birthday and anger this tyrannosaurus, and he would have no good fruit to eat.He said, "It's nothing, just a pocket watch."

In fact, Shao Xintang thinks it's vulgar to give someone a pocket watch, but he really can't think of any good ideas, and he doesn't know Qin Yuerong that well, so let's make do with it!

But Qin Yuerong was very uncooperative, hugging the small box tightly, he didn't open it according to Zhan Nan's wish, but said: "I'll see it later!"

Then he carried the box and left, Yu Zhannan was so angry that he stood there grinning.Turning his head to Shao Xintang, he said angrily, "Okay! You dare to give gifts secretly!"

"What's sneaking around!" Shao Xintang said helplessly, "It's my birthday, how can I come here empty-handed?"

"You come with me, I'll just give it away, no matter what you call empty-handed, you are all mine, so what gift do you want to give!" Yu Zhannan raised his eyebrows, looking a little fierce.

Yu Zhannan was already a focal point, and the two of them were standing in a hall full of people coming and going, and someone had already noticed this side.

Shao Xintang didn't like to quarrel at all, he would get a headache whenever he quarreled with him, especially with a bandit warlord like Yu Zhannan who couldn't explain why, so he waved his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm wrong. !"

Seeing his perfunctory appearance, Yu Zhannan's anger didn't disappear at all.At this moment, a servant of the Qin family walked up to Yu Zhannan and said respectfully, "Commander Yu, our old lady invites you to come over, saying that he hasn't seen you for a long time."

Yu Zhannan should have visited the old man first when he came in, but he quarreled with Shao Xintang first.At this time, everyone sent someone to look for him, so he followed with a sigh of relief.Before leaving, he deliberately turned his head back and lowered his voice, gnashing his teeth and threateningly: "Don't talk to others casually, or I won't spare you!"

Shao Xintang watched him leave with that person, and smiled slightly, feeling that he was sick.
