Deep love, rainy heart

After staying on the train for a few days, Ruping knew that they only had one day's journey left, so she couldn't help but feel very happy, so she got up and walked around in the carriage. Ruping got to know her well, so they chatted and laughed with her together.

"I heard that Shanghai is a prosperous metropolis, but I don't know what it looks like." Wang Hong, the soldier, said with some expectation.

Hearing his words, Tang Xupeng, the little leader of the soldiers, thought for a while and smiled: "Miss Ruping, you have studied and have a lot of knowledge, tell us about it."

Ruping smiled slightly, looking at Tang Xupeng's rather handsome face, thinking about the past few days, she knew that this person was capable, and all the people the old man picked had no family members, even though it was good for him to be this kind of person With the escape, but invisibly also saved a lot of trouble for future life.

Smiling and casually said a few words, Ruping didn't dare to reveal too much, after all, she should be an ignorant little girl who had never left her home at the moment, so she turned the conversation over to them to pick some interesting stories from the past for her to hear. The relationship between everyone is getting better and better.

Although Xueqin looked down on these soldiers and didn't want Ruping to have too much contact with them, there was really no way to relax during the journey. It was interesting to listen to them. Like Ruping's appearance, Xueqin was too happy in her heart, so she couldn't stop her.

In this way, the journey passed so unsalty, and it was only after a toss in Shanghai that they finally settled down in the French Concession on Foch Road, just like a small western-style building in a TV series. They chose a big room according to their own wishes, but Wen Pei and Yiping were pushed to the first floor. The room was similar to that of Lieutenant Li and the driver Mamazi Yatou and others hired later, and it was not as luxurious as the guest room.

Ruping naturally knows this is unfair, but she has nothing to do about the situation in front of her. Fu Wenpei's submissive temperament naturally dare not say anything, and Yiping is about to shoot when she opens her mouth. Ping glared at their room, and had already been scolded by the old man several times for speaking in a strange way. Ruping wanted to ease the situation, but Yiping hated her even more. do not care.

Now that the whole family has settled down, all the soldiers from the old man to Er Jie and Lieutenant Li had to rest for a few days before they fully recovered from the exhausting journey.

"Miss Ruping, do you want to go out?"

On this day, Xueqin took Mengping and Mrs. Li to pick out furniture and other items. The old man took Adjutant Li to visit his old friends, leaving only Mrs. Zhang who they brought from the Northeast to watch Erjie at home, and Ruping was too lazy To join in the fun, I went downstairs and walked in the yard, and happened to walk to the small warehouse at the back, which is much larger than the TV show, and now it has been converted into a room, for a few soldiers to live in for the time being, and the family is still there To rectify, they just guard the yard every day.

Tang Xupeng was very happy to see Ruping, who he thought was the best among the Miss Lu family, because Ruping was not only beautiful, but also gentle and kind, and there was no distinction between them, Tang Xupeng liked to be with Ruping Ping spoke.

Ruping also had a good impression of Tang Xupeng, and it happened that several other people came out to greet her when they heard the movement, so Ruping smiled and said: "My mother has gone to the department store, and I am bored in the room by myself, so I want to Going out for a walk, but the surroundings are not familiar, and I don’t know the way, so I just look at the flowers and plants in the garden.”

"If Ms. Ruping wants to go out, why don't we accompany you? We help move things these few days, and we go out a few times occasionally, so we are familiar with the surrounding situation."

Tang Xupeng's proposal Ruping thought it was good, so she nodded and agreed. Because there were so many of them, she just asked Wang Hong to follow. Don't, it's just right that the two people under Li Xia in the melon field are accompanied by no more and no less.

Unexpectedly, within a few steps of the gate, there was a man on a bicycle approaching. Ruping and the others hurriedly made way for him, but the man stopped and smiled at them: "Hi, may I ask you?" Is this the new family here?" Seeing Ruping and others nodding, the person smiled again: "Then we will be neighbors from now on, and my family lives in the building next to it. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Liao Ming , is a high school student."

"Hi, my name is Lu Ruping, this is Tang Xupeng, this is Wang Hong, they work with my father."

Liao Ming is very enthusiastic. When Ruping said that he was not familiar with this place, he smiled and showed them the way. He happened to hear that there was a fountain not far from him. Ruping wanted to see it, so she thanked her with a smile. He also invited Liao Ming to come over if he had time, and said that his elder brother was about the same age as him, so he must be able to make friends.

Liao Ming responded with a smile. Ruping and the others didn't mention it. When they arrived at the fountain, they saw the people around them dressed very fashionable. In addition to what they had seen and heard in the past few days, Wang Hong laughed and said, "Shanghai is indeed a big city. Ruping What the lady said before is indeed true, I thought Harbin would be lively enough, but I didn’t expect it to be even more fashionable here.”

Ruping smiled and didn't answer, just looked at Tang Xupeng and Wang Hong, one thoughtful and the other happy, and after thinking about it, she asked them both: "Now our family is completely settled, but there are only some trivial matters left. , but I don’t know what the two big brothers have planned in the future?”

"We should follow the commander."

The unanimous answer of the two made Ruping smile slightly, looked at the two of them carefully, nodded and said: "I naturally understand the loyalty of the two elder brothers to my father, but my father also said before that coming to Shanghai is no more difficult than In the past, we escaped from disaster after all, and my father probably had nothing to do in Shanghai, and our brothers and sisters naturally had to go to school, and we couldn't do anything else, so I was very curious about the future plans of the elder brothers. Do you want to continue serving in the army? Or do you want to do something else? For example, a small business or something, after all, you are old enough to start a family, I think Dad will not treat you badly."

These words made both Tang Xupeng and Wang Hong fall into deep thought. Ruping didn't force them, so she went to look around with a smile. It happened that Xueqin and others came back in the car at this time. Tell her to get in the car and go back together, Tang Xupeng and Wang Hong just walk back by themselves.

"Ruping, you see we bought a lot of things today, thanks to my father's friend who introduced us to buy a car two days ago, and hired Lao Zhu as a driver for us, otherwise I don't know how to get back today."

Mengping was very excited after going out for a day of shopping. She dragged Ruping to talk about the benefits of the department store. Lieutenant Li also came back, drinking tea and watching them, Xueqin asked Mrs. Zhang to carry Erjie down, and the whole family talked happily.

Just as Wenpei and Yiping came out, Xueqin's face was not very good, she just folded her arms and sneered, "Why are you so leisurely, Wenpei? I have worked so hard to buy so much to decorate this house." After the things come back, you can just sit there and enjoy it, I discussed this carpet with the old man, and I just spread it in this living room, Yiping is also very free, I think it happened to come with your mother to help."

"Hey." After hearing this, Wen Pei hurriedly got up and came over to move the carpet, she was obedient and didn't even dare to lift her head, but it was already too late for Ruping to talk to Yiping after seeing Yiping's appearance.

"My mother is not a servant. Why do you ask her to do this or that? What right do you have to instruct my mother and me?"

Yiping's words seemed to provoke a quarrel, Xueqin naturally refused to listen, and immediately got up and pointed at Yiping and scolded: "Fu Wenpei, how did you teach your daughter to talk to me like this?"

The adults quarreled, and it was difficult for Er Hao to sit down, so they all stood up obediently. Seeing that Mengping was a little scared, Ruping quickly hugged her into her arms and gently stroked her back to comfort her. Mengping here has not calmed down yet, but Erjie cried out in fright over there.

When Erjie cried, not to mention how distressed Xueqin was, even the old man was angry. Seeing Xueqin taking Erjie with tears in his eyes and trying to coax his old man, the old man pointed at Yiping and said angrily: "Xueqin is Your elder, that's how you talk to elders? What's more, what she said is also reasonable, why can't your mother do some housework, if your mother doesn't do it, do you want me to do it? "

"I'll do it, I'll go right away, Yiping, stop talking."

Wen Pei immediately stepped forward to lay the carpet. Ruping looked up and saw Xueqin's proud face, and followed the old man up to the second floor to coax Erjie. She put her arms around Mengping and said to Erhao: "Brother, you also Go help Aunt Pei, Mom can't see it now, it's okay, that carpet is so heavy, how can Aunt Pei move it."

Hearing Ruping's words, Mengping wanted to say something with her long mouth, but she still didn't say it. Erhao felt a little pitiful when she looked at Wenpei, so she went to help, but Yiping looked at them. It was a bad look, but Wenpei needed help, so he didn't say anything.

Ruping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and hurriedly asked Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang to put away the rest of the things. If she couldn't make the decision, she would wait to ask Xueqin for instructions tomorrow, and hurriedly asked Keyun to make two cups of tea. Take it and ask Mengping to follow her upstairs.

"Mengping, Erjie was frightened just now. We are all his own sisters, so naturally we have to care about him. He is young, so he must have been very scared just now. Now he can't talk or walk, so he doesn't necessarily feel very uncomfortable."

Thinking of Mengping in the TV series and the current Mengping, Ruping thought that the child is still young, so as long as she teaches her well, there will be no problem. Sure enough, Mengping nodded after listening to her words: "Yes, I was scared to death just now. , Erjie is so young, I hope mom can coax him well." As she spoke, Mengping looked up at Ruping again with admiration on her face, "Ruping, you are so amazing, you were not afraid just now, thanks to having you by my side, you She is really my good sister, I won’t be afraid if I hide in your arms.”

Smiling and stroking Mengping's head, Ruping comforted her a few more words. Thinking of the busy people below, she stopped and pulled Mengping and said, "Mengping, Aunt Pei is also our elder, and she has always been She listens to what mom says, Aunt Pei is not a bad person, she is also our family member, mom has her position, that's why the family is so incompatible, but we can't have anything in our hearts, being filial to mom is one thing, and occasionally helping Pei Aunt is nothing, the most important thing is that Dad will be happy when he finds out."

The children of the Lu family are all stubborn, so Ruping had no choice but to bring out the old man to persuade her. Sure enough, Mengping thought it through, and nodded with a smile, saying that she knew it. Ruping Xinwei smiled, and the two sisters walked to Xueqin's bedroom , Knocked on the door and went in. At this moment, Erjie had calmed down. Ruping hurriedly handed over the tea in her hand, not daring to disturb him again. Xueqin coaxed Erjie to sleep well, and then retreated out with the two sisters.

"Ruping, follow me to the study."

I wanted to go back to the room and have a good chat with Mengping, but unexpectedly the old man called her over, Ruping had no choice but to smile and tell Mengping to go back to the room first, seeing that the little girl was happy and nothing, she was completely relieved.

"Dad, don't be angry, Yiping is just a little irritable, and my mother is so strong, so it is easy for two people to conflict when they are together."

In fact, Ruping doesn't know how to say this. Yiping's attitude is indeed bad, and Xueqin is indeed a bully, but Wenpei's temper is too submissive, and the old man has always been so used to it. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone has their own reasons. Ruping knows that this matter cannot be resolved.

The old man lit his pipe, nodded silently after listening to Ruping's words, took two puffs before looking at her, with admiration in his eyes, and said: "You are a good and understanding boy, you are free Advise your mother, too."

"Daughter knows, Dad, you should also pay attention to your body."

"I'm fine." The old man looked out of the window, not knowing what he was thinking, but his brows were tightly frowned. Seeing him like this, Ruping knew that their family came to Shanghai from Harbin, and the majestic black leopard back then was a thing of the past. , Thinking about it, the old man is also having a hard time.

"If Dad is free, you can go out for a stroll, ride a horse or something, exercise your body and relax your mind, it's better than being bored at home."

The father and daughter said a few more words. The old man saw Ruping as a daughter who was so caring, and he felt a little fondness for her. He agreed with a smile, and asked her to stay with him for two days before letting her go. Ruping goes back.
