Chapter 4 Four

Mother Tao originally thought that as long as she married him a wife, he would be fine, so she always wanted to go back to the countryside.Choose a good one for him with your own eyesight, but because Mrs. Fifth is so sick, she can't go away.Ask someone to write a letter to go home and ask their relatives to be matchmakers. The few girls they mentioned are very opposed to it. Tao Ma thought about it, after he came to Shanghai, the girls in the country might look down on him, so she wanted to ask someone to be a matchmaker in Shanghai, and went to the Nanhuo shop where Yougen was recommended last time. that cousin of .That man and the owner of the Nanhuo store are relatives, and they often go to their store for free.He told Tao's mother behind his back that he heard that You Gen was honest when he first came here, but recently he often goes out with his colleagues and doesn't come back all night.Mother Tao was very anxious when she heard this, and she was even more eager to marry him.

Although Yougen has failed in his studies, he is still dumb when he sees Xiaoai.He also didn't feel that she was avoiding him, he thought it was his mother who was making trouble, and he had a big fight with his mother twice when he got anxious, saying that he must want Xiao Ai, otherwise he would rather not marry a wife for the rest of his life.Mother Tao was so angry that she burst into a stomach.Because she hated her son for not living up to expectations, she didn't want to tell anyone these things, and she never told Mrs. Fifth, so the disturbance was so severe that Mrs. Fifth didn't know it at all upstairs.

Jing Fan had already returned to Shanghai at this time, and had been living in seclusion, so few people knew about it.But gradually there was a legend that he was very close to the Japanese when he was in the north, and maybe he came back this time with a mission.There was a lot of talk outside, saying that Xi Laowu was going to be a traitor.Mrs. Fifth also heard this from relatives in her natal family.She asked Young Master Yin, and Young Master Yin said: "Probably not necessarily such a thing." The fifth wife also knew that even if he knew a little bit, he would not tell her. At this time, the hearts of the people on the isolated island were very excited. Even though the fifth wife had a relatively weak national concept, she still felt that this was a disgraceful thing, which added a layer of depression.

After Jing Fan returned to Shanghai, he seldom went out. There was only one place he often went to. A friend of his had a altar for ghosts. Now he really believed in ghosts.That place is not far from his home. He often wears a pair of black glasses, leans on a cane, basks in the sun, and walks leisurely there.On this day, as usual, the ghost immortal descended to the altar, sang a few poems with them, and made some comments on the current situation.But although it answered every question, it seemed that it held the tenet of keeping its secrets secret when it came to more important matters, and refused to disclose any information.Because Jing Fan came back from there that day, and within a few steps of the gate, two people shot at him. Suddenly, his friend heard several gunshots at his friend's house. Looking down from the balcony, he could only see Jing Fan. Lying in a pool of blood, the murderer has already fled.Here hurriedly called an ambulance, and then notified his home.His concubine Qiu Lao Si rushed to his friend's house, but he had already been sent to the hospital.I rushed to the hospital again.Has been seriously injured and died.Fourth Qiu just covered his face and wept bitterly, but he refused to make up his mind about what to do behind the scenes, because it was a matter of money.She asked her servant to call Young Master Yin, and when Young Master Yin came, he would be the master of everything. When Young Master Yin asked her for money, she cried and said that he didn't know that his father had owed so many debts. Where is the money.

Young Master Yin had to think of another way. Everyone was busy all day, so they sent him to the funeral parlor for funeral.Young master Yin has been busy until very late, before he came home. Young Master Na Yin is also a man with a deep family background. He thought in his heart that Mrs. Fifth's illness would not be able to bear the irritation. If the news was known to her, if something happened because of it, her natal family would definitely blame him. It's better to ask her brother and sister-in-law tomorrow. If they insist on telling her, it has nothing to do with him.That night he called Tao Ma and Xiao Ai, and said, "Master is not here. My wife is sick now, so please don't tell her for now. Don't show her tomorrow's newspaper. If you ask, just say it hasn't been delivered." "In addition, he also notified several close relatives separately, telling them that this matter was kept from the fifth wife, lest they leak the news.But the next day, some relatives still came to them to express their condolences. Half of them were out of curiosity. When they met Mrs. Fifth, of course they didn't say anything, they just said they came to see her.Mother Tao asked Fifth Madam behind her back, and only learned the truth from these people. Master Yin did not tell them yesterday that Jing Fan was assassinated.

Xiao Ai was very excited when she heard it.On the one hand, I feel happy, but at the same time, I feel a little bewildered. I need to tell myself over and over again that that person is dead.Without him in the world, it seemed that the world suddenly became much wider. When she saw Jin Huai that day, she told him about her past incident.She never told him, because they were always in such a hurry, and these words could not be explained clearly in a few words.At the same time, she said to herself that since Jin Huai hadn't mentioned the marriage to her, it seemed that she didn't have to tell him about her past.If he mentions it, she must tell him.As for the reason why he never brought up the marriage, it was probably always because of the economic relationship, as far as she knew.He sent more than half of the small wages he got to his home. He lived a very hard life, and of course there was no talk of starting a family for a while.In Xiao Ai's heart, it seemed that she would rather delay like this, because in this way she would not have to tell him those words.Because she really didn't want to talk about it.

Today, however, she spoke out desperately.She seemed to have such an elder brother in her own family, and she came here, and she wanted to tell him all about her sufferings in the past.She seemed to be telling the whole world, because Jin Huai was also her whole world. He said very little, he was so angry, he seemed very rigid.If Xi Jingfan was still alive, he could really kill him.But since he was dead, it seemed untrue to say such things, so he didn't say anything.They stood on the side of the road, because Xiao Ai was afraid of being recognized by acquaintances, and always stood in a dark place. In the middle of two shops, several rows of doors that had been dismantled were stacked and leaned against the wall, and Xiao Ai stood next to each other. Standing there.The shops on both sides are having dinner under the dim light.

Xiao Ai said suddenly: "I'm going in." Then she turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley.Jin Huai was startled for a moment, and wanted to ask her to wait a little longer before going in, but he rushed up to stop her, but she ran and ran in quickly.Jin Huai stood there stunned. At this moment, he felt that his attitude towards her just now was not very good. When she told him such words, how should he comfort her? Why didn't he say a word? Cold, of course she must have misunderstood.She must be very sad to go back. When he returned home that day, he kept thinking like this in his heart and felt very sad.

He came very early the next day.She came out when the time came, but she seemed a little surprised when she saw him, and her face was still very distressed.Jin Huai greeted him from afar with a smile on his face, and said, "Did you get angry yesterday?" Xiao Ai smiled and said, "Not angry." Jin Huai paused, then Fang smiled and said, "I brought one Something for you." Xiao Ai smiled and said, "What is it?" Jin Huai took out a small paper bag, walked to the window light at the alley, and opened it carefully. Xiao Ai looked at it from a distance, as if there were a few pills wrapped in it. It is a small gray-black square made of metal, with words engraved on the tip like a stamp.Jin Huai said with a smile: "This is the type used to print books and newspapers. There is something wrong with it. I don't want it." Xiao Ai laughed and said, "It's so small, it's fun!" " He compared the three printed characters together to form a line, and said with a smile, "Do you know these two characters?" Xiao Ai read out a word for "Jade" and a word for "Zhen". stand up.Looking at the more complicated strokes of a character above, he asked, "What kind of character is this?" Jin Huai said:

"Hey, this is your name, and this is your surname." Xiao Ai said, "Didn't I tell you that I don't have a surname?" Jin Huai smiled and said, "How can a person not have a surname?" Xiao Ai was a little confused at first. Seeing his expression, he believed even more that it must be the word "Feng", so he squeezed the paper into a ball, put the typeface in it, and stuffed it into his hand with a smile. Jin Huai smiled and said, "You don't want it?" Xiao Ai's original intention was that he wanted to put it in his hand and run away, but the type is so small, if it falls to the ground and rolls into the crack of the cement, it will It was one night, and she couldn't find it, so she felt very reluctant, so she didn't dare to let go easily, and he refused to continue properly, so he made a fuss for a long time.They usually stand in the shadows, but today they also wanted to identify the small print, so they walked under the brightest lamp, which illuminated their faces very clearly, and happened to be seen by Yougen.Otherwise, Yougen would not have come at this time. They were the ones who sent him to buy goods from the store. She walked by, but she didn't see it.

Yougen went in and came to Xi's house. His mother sat with him in the kitchen as usual, and told him in detail about the assassination of the master the day before yesterday.Root sat there without saying a word, with his head bowed and his body bent, resting his elbows on his knees.After a while, Xiao Ai came in. He didn't even look at her, but lowered his head a little lower. Because Xiaoai was happy, she didn't notice at all that Yougen ignored her when she saw her today, which was a little special.She walked over quickly and went upstairs.You Gen suddenly said to his mother: "Why, Xiao Ai is out there beating a friend?" Tao's mother was puzzled for a while, and said, "What?" Yougen snorted and said, "You don't know that we are together all day long." Tao's mother then asked, "How did you know, you saw it?" Huh?" Angrily, Gen didn't answer, and after a while, he recounted the scene he saw in the alley.Tao Ma smiled and said, "What do you want me to do with her nonsense?" After pondering for a while, she said again: "What did you see that person look like?" Yougen said with hatred: "You don't care what he looks like!—— And tell me not to meddle in my own business!" After he left, Mother Tao thought about it, thinking that this was also an opportunity, it would be good to let her marry, otherwise Yougen would never give up.While cooking, she questioned Xiao Ai, and said, "Xiao Ai, you are so old, and you have to make up your own mind. Did that person say anything to you, did he say that he wanted to marry you? "Xiao Ai was stunned for a while, and Fang said: "Who is it?" Tao Ma said with a smile: "You still think I don't know, isn't there a man who often talks to you outside?" Xiao Ai smiled and said: "Oh , that used to live on the opposite side, if you see it and say a few words, what's the point?" Tao Ma made a very concerned look, and said: "There are many bad people outside, you have to be careful. Do you know this The details of the person?" Xiao Ai said: "This person is not bad, he works in the printing office." Tao Mama said with a wry smile, "Isn't that very good? If you are embarrassed to tell your wife, I will do it for you." Go ahead. This is also a serious matter." Xiao Ai smiled and remained silent.She and Jin Huai had already discussed it, and Jin Huai wanted her to tell Mrs. Fifth herself. Now that Tao Mama suddenly became so enthusiastic, she always suspected that she had bad intentions, but if she really wanted to say it, of course she couldn't help it. To stop her, I had no choice but to let nature take its course. Mother Tao told Mrs. Fifth that day.After hearing this, Mrs. Fifth was speechless for a long time.In fact, the fifth wife was most in favor of free love in her life. Not only did she agree with it, but she also encouraged it. It was also because she was harmed by the old-style marriage, so she always hoped for the next generation of young people that "all lovers will get married."When her nephews, nieces and nephews have love disputes, although the fifth wife is timid and always in the position of sponsoring them within the scope of not offending their parents, in her mind, it is always as if they are in love. It is the matter of the young masters and ladies, like those servants and elder sisters, it is better to settle down and rely on a matchmaker. If they also fall in love, it will be close to concubine.Especially because it is Xiao Ai, the fifth wife hates her in her heart, so as long as it is related to her, she feels a little disgusted.At that moment, the fifth wife was silent for a while, and said to Mama Tao: "At this time she is leaving. No one is doing her job. How can you do it alone? If you ask me to add another person, I can't afford it!" Tao Ma said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I will Do more, the wife doesn't need to add people anymore. Xiao Ai has grown up, and if you can keep her, you won't be able to keep her heart!" Since Tao Ma insisted so strongly, Fifth Wife also I won't say anything.After agreeing, she put down her face and said: "But you tell her that she is willing, and I don't care what happens in the future!" Tao's mother told Xiaoai the news, saying that she had finally persuaded his wife to agree, and she persuaded them to get things done immediately.Jin Huai wrote back and told his family that there was nothing wrong with his family.He originally lived in a friend's house, but now he managed to raise some money, so he rented a room, bought some furniture, and planned to get married at the end of the month.A few days before the wedding, he bought a four-color tea gift and went to Xi's house to see Mrs. Fifth.He didn't want to go at first, because he really hated their family, even if he didn't go there, it seemed unreasonable, and he didn't want to embarrass Xiao Ai.And he knew that Mrs. Fifth had been ill in bed and would never come down to see him.In the end, Mama Tao came out on behalf of Mrs. Fifth, and after a while, Xiao Ai also came out. Everyone sat in the living room, and Jin Huai left after sitting for a while. They happened to be in a lot of chaos these two days because Miss Liusun came back to her mother's house. Miss Liusun has been living in Hankou since she got married, and this time she came back to Shanghai to attend the funeral because she heard Jing Fan's sad news.They are still keeping this matter from the Fifth Wife. Young Master Yin has already asked her natal brother and sister-in-law, and they all agreed not to tell her, saying that she might not be able to bear the excitement.So Miss Liusun told Mrs. Fifth that it was hard to say that she was here for the funeral, but that she came to Shanghai to see her because Mrs. Fifth was ill. The Fifth Wife heard her say this, and instead of being moved, she felt sad. A stepmother has always had a bad relationship with her first daughter, and of course they are no exception. Unexpectedly, at this time, it was Miss Sixth Sun who was thinking about her and came all the way to see her. However, when she was so ill, Jing Fan once He hadn't even come to see her, and by comparison, it could be seen that he treated her worse than passers-by.She didn't say anything to Miss Liusun, but shed tears.Miss Liusun only thought that she was thinking that her illness would not get better, so she couldn't help comforting her. It is rare for Miss Sixth Sun to come to Shanghai once. She lives with the Fifth Wife, and many relatives come here to visit her, so there are many people coming and going in the past two days. Mother Tao is too busy alone, and Xiao Ai is about to get married. , I can't help but have some things to take care of, so Mama Tao thought of Mama Liu who had resigned.After Liu Ma went out from here, because she was quite old, she didn't look for other things. She lived with her son and daughter-in-law, had a casual meal, and sometimes brought a kettle and a few glasses and sat on the side of the road to sell them. Tea.Mother Tao talked to Mrs. Fifth and called her to help out for a few days. Yougen hadn't come for a few days since he got angry last time, but he came again this night. It happened that Liu Ma was flushing a thermos bottle in the kitchen alone. Seeing him coming, she called Tao Ma upstairs. One sound, telling her that her son is coming.There was boiling water on the stove, and Mama Liu poured him a cup of tea. During the conversation, she told him the news that Xiao Ai was about to get married.That day when Jin Huai came here, she saw it too, and told You Gen what kind of person he was, and said that he was so thoughtful, and gave four-color tea gifts of lychee, longan, jujube, and sugar.It happened that they had frequent visitors these two days, so they brought out the longan and lychees to entertain them.Mother Tao heard that Yougen had arrived, so she brought some down when she went downstairs, and remembered that southern jujubes are the most nourishing, so she wrapped another pack of southern dates and brought them downstairs, Yougen felt very angry, But his mother grabbed a handful of longan and lychees and put them on the table in front of him, and said with a smile, "Hey, eat some." Then she handed him a bag of dates, and said, "Look at how thin you have always been." , take this back home, eat a few every night when you go to bed, make up for it.” Yougen took it and slammed it to the ground, saying: "I don't want to eat it!" He immediately stood up and left.Liu Ma was stunned by the side and didn't have anything to say, and Tao Ma just mumbled: "This thing!" She didn't say anything else. The bag of southern jujubes fell to the ground, the paper bag was shattered, and the dates rolled all over the ground, Tao Ma then picked them up one by one.The next morning, Xiao Ai swept the floor, but found two more dates, so she laughed and said, "Hey, why are there two dates missing here." He waved his hands, looked around again, and then said softly: "I was shocked yesterday - Yougen didn't know why he got into trouble with his mother, his mother wrapped a bag of dates and told him to take them back to eat, and he smashed them After hearing this, Xiao Ai naturally understood that it must be because he knew it was a gift from Jin Huai, so he was so angry.She couldn't help feeling a little sad, because even though she didn't have any feelings for Yougen, she always had a sense of confidant. She is getting married the day after tomorrow.Mrs. Fifth had already said to Tao Ma: "Tell her to live out one day earlier. She can't be allowed to marry in my house." Because there is such a taboo, if a girl gets married directly from the master's house, some masters will not be willing to do so. , considered unlucky.So Xiao Ai bid farewell to Mrs. Fifth the first day and moved to Mama Liu's house.Mama Liu didn't come back after helping out at Xi's house, so her daughter-in-law was the sender the next day. Xiao Ai felt very sorry for taking them out because she lived there that day. After getting married, some days later, she went to see them with Jin Huai, but she never went to Mrs. Fifth's place.Later, Mama Liu once went to the fifth wife's place to pay New Year's greetings, and she told Mama Tao that she was full of flowers and said, "I can't see that Xiaoai still has this bit of blessing. The man she married is really not bad. Come back to my house." Here, two husband and wife, Xiao Ai wore a new cheongsam and sweater, just like other young grandmothers. It is said that her mother-in-law also came out from the countryside. The countryside is bitter, and she is too old to do it. Now she is married to a daughter-in-law , so come out and pass with them." Because Mama Liu lived far away, it was difficult for her to go to Mrs. Fifth's place on weekdays.After more than two years, Mama Tao suddenly came to her again one day, saying that Mrs. Fifth was seriously ill, and it seemed that it had only been two days.Immediately, Liu Ma went back with her and came to Xi's house, but saw that their living room was full of people, including relatives of the fifth wife's natal family, and on the side of Xi's house, the third wife also came, and some nephews and nieces and nieces and daughters-in-law. , Master Yin got married last year, and his young mistress was by his side.They came every day for the past two days, and Mrs. Fifth also understood in her heart. Looking at the situation, she also guessed that the doctor must have said that she was going to die, so everyone came.Jing Fan was the only one. He had never been here even once after she had been ill all these years. He was married to each other, and he didn't even have this kind of affection. She was going to die, so he didn't come to see her. She also once asked Young Master Yin: "Have you seen your father these two days?" She was unwilling to say this sentence at first, but in the end, she finally said it.Young Master Yin replied: "I didn't see it, I didn't go there." Mrs. Fifth naturally couldn't say anything more, but Young Master Yin actually knew what was on her mind.Because of this matter, these people in their family have been discussing there, whether they should tell her or not.If she simply kept it secret, wouldn't it make her hold grudges all day long, thinking that Jing Fan would not come to see her even when she was dying.But if I told her at this time, such a sudden stimulation would be like a reminder to her.So her natal family finally thought it was wrong.With her own natal family present, of course none of her in-laws would have any real suggestions.Young master Yin is even more unwilling to take on this responsibility. If he agrees to tell her, he will tell others that because it is his stepmother, he is separated by one floor, so he can be so cold and disregard her life. However, seeing her in such pain, someone brought it up again: Or should I tell her?Everyone gathers in the living room downstairs to discuss quietly every day, but they can't come to a conclusion.Tao Ma took Liu Ma upstairs together that day, so she frowned and said softly to her, "They really are, in fact, they knew that my wife's illness would not recover, so they told her what's the matter, told her And make her feel better." Upstairs, Madam Liu went into the room and called "Madam".The fifth wife was lying on the bed, just humming in a low voice, her eyes seemed to be half-opened, as if she didn't recognize anyone anymore.Tao Ma looked at her, couldn't help but shed tears, lifted her skirt to wipe her eyes, then whispered to Liu Ma bitterly: "It's too late if I don't tell her!" Liu Ma was stunned for a while, then said: "Actually Just tell her." Tao Ma hesitated again, then walked to the bed, Liu Ma stood at the door watching the wind, Tao Ma bent down and lowered her throat and called "Madam" a few times, and said: "Master He was gone three years ago, and he has been hiding it from you, so he dare not tell you." Mrs. Fifth was lying on the pillow with her face slightly sideways. Once a fat person like her lost weight, the skin and flesh on her face would sag, so she often had a sad expression.Tao Ma leaned in front of her and looked at her. After a while, she called "Mrs. Not sure how she reacted.I don't know if she heard it or not. Tao Ma straightened up and looked at Liu Ma in blank dismay for a while.The room was silent.In this overcast weather, although it is not very cold, the body is always soaked in cold, and being in the room is like being at the bottom of a large water tank.Mother Tao took the quilt for Mrs. Fifth, and felt that the quilt was not thick enough. She wanted to take out two clothes to cover her feet, so she went to open the drawer. When she opened the drawer, she saw Mrs. Fifth's cat sleeping in it. , the cat is old now, afraid of the cold, and often runs into the closet and falls asleep in the pile of clothes.Tao Ma cursed softly, drove it out, took out the clothes, shook it, patted the ashes, and covered the fifth wife on the bed. The condition of Mrs. Fifth remained unchanged, and she died the next night. Mama Liu helped their house for a few days and went back after being buried. The fifth wife died. Xiaoai and the others now live in a former pavilion, and they can also use half of the living room, so when Mama Liu came last time, they sat in the living room and didn't go up.It was a Shikumen house. One day when Mama Liu opened the door and walked in, there were some vegetables drying in the courtyard, probably ready to be pickled. Xiao Ai's mother-in-law squatted on the ground, turning over the vegetables one by one in the sunlight.Liu Ma smiled and called "Mrs. Feng".As soon as Mrs. Feng looked up and saw her, she hurriedly nodded her head and said with a smile, "Yuzhen is sick." Mother Liu said, "Why is she sick?" It's not a shame." Then he stood up and let the guests in, and then shouted to the attic: "Aunt Liu is here." Liu Ma said, "I'll go up and see her." Mrs. Feng moved a bamboo ladder and leaned on the attic, and Liu Ma climbed up from the ladder. "Let's go! Let's go!" Xiao Ai also greeted with a smile, "Be careful! Be careful!" The inside was as dark as a cabin, and Liu Ma bent down and entered the door. Still can't straighten up.Xiao Ai hastily turned on the light and asked her to sit on the opposite bed.Mama Liu asked about her illness and asked if she was happy.Xiao Ai seemed a little embarrassed, but Liu's mother didn't seem to be happy when she heard her illness. She said that she couldn't get up, and her back was sore and dizzy when she woke up.In fact, Xiao Ai herself is also suspicious. This is probably a problem left over from the previous miscarriage, but of course she will not tell her mother-in-law about this. Kai said something else.Mama Liu told her the news of Mrs. Fifth's death.After hearing this, Xiao Ai also felt a little sad.Although Mrs. Fifth treated her badly in the past, she always felt that Mrs. Fifth was actually very pitiful. Mama Liu sat on her bed and whispered to her about the fifth wife's death. There was a pair of shoes in front of Xiao Ai's bed. When Liu Ma sat down, she stepped on them, picked them up and dusted them off, and said with a smile, "Hey! You made it yourself? You're getting better and better!" They were a pair of blue cloth lace-up shoes, but they followed the style of leather shoes popular at that time. The soles were divided into three layers, one layer of green cloth, one layer of red cloth on top, and another layer of light gray.She is very proud of this pair of shoes. Since she got married, her tongue has changed. She seems to have newly discovered this world, and everything is very interesting.She is not bad at cooking now, but because she is interested in experimenting with everything, she often makes very strange combinations, such as shredded Yang Shanyu and stir-fried soybean sprouts.Jin Huai was a bit uncomfortable at first, and still liked his mother's dishes, but because of beriberi, Mrs. Feng's feet would swell after standing in front of the stove for a long time. A rather large square hole had been cut in the siding of their garret, through which the drawing-room could be seen below.Mama Liu turned her head, looked down, and said with a smile, "You, Jin Huai, are back." Jin Huai sat on a long bench diagonally across from his mother, and the two of them were talking there, their faces very gloomy.After a while, Jin Huai came up, and Mama Liu asked him to sit, and under this low roof, it was impossible not to sit.He sat down on the opposite bed, and asked Xiao Ai with a smile, "How are you today? Are you better?" Xiao Ai smiled and said, "It's still the same." Jin Huai frowned slightly and looked at her face. Looking up, he was sitting there with his body leaning forward a little bit, his elbows resting on his legs, and his fingers intertwined, showing that anxious look.Xiao Ai felt a little embarrassed, wondering what happened to him today, that's how it was in front of people.Jin Huai sat silently for a while, then went downstairs again.As soon as he left, Mama Liu made fun of Xiao Ai and said, "Look at how well Jin Huai treats you, he is so worried about your illness." Xiao Ai just laughed.Mama Liu sat for a while, then said she was going to leave, but Xiaoai didn't hold her back very much, she didn't welcome Mama Liu to come often, because Mama Liu was not a bad person, but she was a little quick-talking, and she came a lot. It is inevitable that all her details will be leaked. Xiao Ai is very reluctant that the people she lives with know her background, because most people always look down on maidservants and other maids, but she is the strongest person. Liu Ma was a little scared when she went down the ladder. It wasn't too much trouble when she came up first. Now she stood at the door and looked down. The ladder went straight down and she couldn't get off. Going down step by step, Mrs. Feng supported her from below. When she got to the ground, she smiled and patted her on the back twice. It turned out that there was a large black mark on her pants when she sat just now.Mama Liu also laughed, and after patting herself for a while, she said goodbye and went out, and Mrs. Feng, mother and son were sent out.After Mama Liu left, Mrs. Feng bent down to pick up the green vegetables that were drying on the ground, but sighed, "I knew I would have less salted vegetables—and I can't take them away." Jin Huai said: "Give it Others have marinated it." Then, he turned around and went in, hurried to the attic, and said to Xiaoai: "Our printing office is going to Hong Kong, if the workers are willing to follow, they will be ready within two days. Let's go." Xiao Ai let out an "ah", propped up half of her body on the pillow and looked at him.Jin Huai was very excited. Ever since Shanghai became an isolated island, although many people still had a sense of peace, those with more ambition went to the mainland. Jin Huai did not want to go, but of course it was impossible in his position. of.If you go to Hong Kong, the environment there will always be better than here. He smiled again: "I discussed with my mother just now, you go with me, and she goes back to the countryside. But I think you can't leave like this, what should I do?" Xiaoai was stunned for a while, then said: "I don't think it's important, and it's not a serious illness." Jin Huai looked at her, didn't make a sound for a long time, and then said: "I don't think you should hold on, the road must be harder. I'll go first, you Come on later."
