A thought of Anru [Siege]

Fortunately, she did not follow today.

Two days passed in a flash, and An Ru finally set foot on the long-lost homeland.After saying goodbye to Fang Hongjian and Su Wenwan, she walked alone in the sea of ​​people, looking around, expecting to see familiar faces, but it was a pity that it was difficult to find someone in this crowded place.

It wasn't until he got out of the crowd that An Ru breathed a sigh of relief. Shanghai in the 30s was so prosperous that it didn't seem real.An Ru's hand was stifled by the rattan box, and she planned to hail a rickshaw on the road.

While looking around, I saw a little boy running up to her and said to her, "The gentleman dragged me to help you carry the things."

An Ru looked in the direction pointed by the little boy, but saw her elder brother Xu Anbang standing in a dark corner and beckoning to her. An Ru smiled at him, regardless of whether the other party could see clearly, and raised her Foot walked over.The little boy rushed to fetch things for her, but she only handed him a slightly lighter luggage, but she was still carrying the rattan box in her hands.Afterwards, after Anbang sent Xiaotong a few bounties, Xiaotong ran away gratefully.

"Big Brother", An Ru shouted, his tone was not close, but a little rusty.

An Bang nodded to him, and then summoned two rickshaws. He took An Ru's luggage and got into the rickshaw first, followed by An Ru.

Come back home

On both sides of the tree-lined road, at intervals, there is a sycamore tree growing luxuriantly, its branches stretching out in a crooked manner, putting the path under the shadows of each other.The golden sunlight fell on the ground through the emerald green leaves, forming countless halos of different shapes.The two rickshaw drivers stepped quickly through the fine light spots, and the clothes made of rough linen were completely soaked.

An Ru sat without exerting any effort, but her face was still soaked in sweat, and her thin bangs were stuck to her forehead one by one, making her look embarrassed.Fortunately, the cool wind blowing from time to time on the tree-lined path drove away part of the heat, and my mood gradually calmed down.It seems that she has been separated for seven years, but what she sees is like yesterday, the sycamore tree is still the sycamore tree of yesterday, and the people are still the people of yesterday.Nothing has changed, but it feels like everything has changed, the sycamore tree is getting bigger, and those who hated her in the past are used to hiding their emotions.

Over the years, I have received letters from local families one after another. It can be known that this eldest brother is working in the government's Ministry of Finance.See you now, don't you?Back then, the young and energetic boy who ignored everything had become a seasoned politician.But even so, the distance between their hearts has never been the slightest bit closer, and they could talk to each other before, but now they just feel awkward when they get along together, and they simply avoid talking.

Before An Ru could think too much, the destination was almost reached.Xu's house is located in the fringe area of ​​the French Concession. The location is not prosperous, nor can it be said to have many characteristics. As far as the eye can see, it is surrounded by similar small brick-red garden houses.Although An Ru was away from home for a long time, she never forgot the location of her house.

In the third building from the left, someone has long been waiting at the big iron gate decorated with black paint and flowers.A wolfhound was locked at the door together, lying limply on the ground sticking out its tongue, hot air coming out of its dark protruding snout.Before leaving home, there was no dog in the house.The dog had never seen her before, let alone knew her well. Besides, the wolf dog had a fierce temper. When he saw her as a stranger, he changed from his previous decadence, jumped up from the ground, and barked loudly at her, very majestic.An Ru was a rural child in her previous life. She was bitten by a neighbor's dog once when she was young. After that, she was very afraid of dogs.Even domestic pet dogs dare not approach, let alone such a fierce wolf dog.

When the dog barked at her, her feet were so weak that she couldn't walk, she just stood there numbly, afraid that she would make some big noises and annoy the wolfdog, causing it to break free from the chain and rush towards her.

An Ru looked at her mother begging for help, and her mother ordered the servant to take the wolf dog down, and scolded: "Go, go, you dead thing that doesn't know its master—let someone knock you down and bark."

Consciously taught the wolfdog a lesson, the mother brought An Ru's wet nurse to meet her, took her hand and looked at her for a while, and finally said something that all parents in the world say to children who have returned for a long time, "Lose weight I am haggard. It must be because I didn’t eat well outside.” As she spoke, tears were about to fall, Anru hurriedly comforted her mother for a while, emphasizing that she had never been wronged outside, her mother was willing to give up and patted her. With the back of his hand straight, he said, "Mom has prepared a lot of food, all of which you like."

As he spoke, he happily dragged An Ru into the house, but An Bang who followed behind did not show much joy. He and An Ru were not siblings from the same mother.

An Ru's mother's surname is Zhang, her boudoir name is Hui, and the smaller name is Hui Niang, she is the head of the Xu family.When he was young, because of his weak bones, it was difficult to conceive, so Xu's father took in his concubine to carry on the family line. Only one year after the concubine gave birth to Xu Anbang, Hui Niang also conceived a child and gave birth to Anru. Since then, her stomach has not moved.Fortunately, Xu's father and Hui Niang are deeply affectionate, so Hui Niang's life is considered comfortable, and even the eyes-catching concubine has gone for a few years, and she gave birth to a daughter named An Yi before.

An Ru - An Yi, to obtain is the auspicious head of Ping An Ru Yi.

Not long after An Yi was born, she lost her biological mother, so she has been raised by Hui Niang's side. Hui Niang treats her just like An Ru, except that the two sisters have different personalities and sometimes quarrel.An Ru is lazy and doesn't know how to quarrel with others. As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, she will let her go. So most of the time, it is An Yi's unilateral provocation.

The way the three of them get along with each other is very strange. Anbang hates her, and Anyi doesn't like her.Even the relationship between An Bang and An Yi, who is a compatriot of the same mother, is by no means good, but after all An Bang treats An Yi better than her.

"Is dad not at home?" An Ru took the time to ask when her mother was busy arranging meals for her.

Hui Niang scolded with a smile: "Your father is an incomprehensible one. It's so easy for you to go home after all these years, so it's more important than his job. When I come back, I'll talk about him."

"You must not say it, or Dad will be angry, and he will easily suffer from headaches when he is angry. It will be you who will work hard then."

"Ah Ru is more thoughtful." Hui Niang nodded lovingly on An Ru's forehead, while serving her some food, she urged her to eat more.

After eating a meal, An Ru's stomach was so full that she lay on the sofa and didn't want to move.

After dusk, people who went out at home came back one after another. Xu's father, named Kang Cheng, worked as a manager in a securities trading company and had not retired yet in his 50s.He often said to his children: If you can't be idle, you will get sick easily. It's better to work and get a salary to supplement the family.

Kang Cheng is the elder of the family, and usually he can only have dinner when he comes back home. If there is a dinner outside and he can't go home in time, he will send someone to greet him at home, so there is no need to wait for him.

When Kang Cheng strolled into the house from the outside, he saw An Ru.He didn't show enthusiasm, all his emotions were hidden under that leisurely expression.

He sized An Ru up, and when he saw that An Ru hadn't been changed by foreign customs, he nodded to show his satisfaction, and said, "Good boy." Kang Cheng's greatest compliment to his children.

An Ru saw that the cigarette pouch that his father never left was hanging on his waist, and asked curiously, "Dad, doesn't he smoke?"

"My body is not as good as before. Your mother told me to quit a long time ago."

An Ru nodded, and met her father. She was a little worried. In the past, when her father was free, he liked to roll a roll of tobacco leaves by himself and smoke.The old man usually likes this, so when he went to France for a trip this time, she specially brought back a lot of good tobacco leaves for him.But since her father quit smoking, she didn't know what to give him.

So An Ru rummaged through the suitcase, looking for something suitable for her father.After failing to find anything, she found something in the box that didn't belong to her. It was a checkered men's handkerchief. The handkerchief was not washed cleanly, and there were some oil stains stubbornly adhered to it.How this handkerchief appeared in her box, she was puzzled.

Xu belonged to Miss Su, she seemed to have seen it at Miss Su's place once.When she returned to Shanghai, she lived in the same cabin with Miss Su, and she slept next to her. She was afraid that when she disembarked to pack her things, she didn't pay attention and brought Miss Su's things along.

She looked at the hot potato worriedly, and she could see that Miss Su attached great importance to this handkerchief. If she didn't return it, Miss Su might get angry in a hurry.He sighed, and never asked where Miss Su lived.I don't know where the other party lives, and I don't know how to return the handkerchief. Anyway, it's very troublesome.

Just as An Ru was distressed, the light handkerchief in his hand suddenly disappeared. An Ru followed the trajectory of the handkerchief flying away and saw An Yi waving the handkerchief triumphantly.On her thin lips is a thick bright lipstick. She has seen this lipstick on the lips of female students studying abroad. It is said that it is the most fashionable color nowadays. An Ru can't comment on how other people wear it, but she knows that An Yi is delicate and delicate. The face is not suitable for such a strange and bright color, and it only looks a few years older if it is painted on forcibly. After all, not everyone can control the flaming red lips.In An Ru's eyes, being fit is the best fashion, but obviously An Yi doesn't agree with An Ru's point of view.

The red lips parted slightly, and An Yi said: "A nerd can actually fall in love, I want to tell my parents." After finishing speaking, before An Ru could react, she ran out the door quickly, and the mahogany floor was trampled under her feet There was a thumping sound, the center of An Ru's eyebrows was originally two fingers wide, but because of An Yi's actions, the brows were all condensed together and only one finger wide, roughly shaped like a Sichuan character, she knew that An Yi's mouth was powerful, He didn't dare to let her talk nonsense, so he had to follow her closely.
