Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

The car went to the Zhou mansion.Turn a corner and the end of this road is Zhou's house.It was getting dark late in summer, and the walls of the Zhou mansion had not yet been covered by vines, and mottled red bricks were suddenly exposed amidst the dense greenery.

After entering the black iron gate and bypassing the half-person-high flower bed, the familiar Zhou mansion stood majestically in front of the two of them from far to near.

"Finally back." Zhi Lan felt kindly, but Mu Qing didn't want to show any embarrassment.She turned her head to look at Mu Qing's face, and entered the house with him as before.

Master Zhou and Zhou Yuehua arrived home one step earlier. Qi Mei saw the eldest wife returning home. Hearing that her father was discharged from the hospital today, she hurriedly ordered people to prepare meals and clean up. She was busy.

When Mu Qing and Zhi Lan stepped into the house, the old man was reading the newspaper delivered in the living room.

"Father." Zhi Lan said hello first.

"Girl Lan, you're here." Master Zhou raised his head from the newspaper and looked at her.

"Father, I just heard from Mu Qing that you were sick and hospitalized. I'm sorry I didn't go to the hospital to visit you in time." Zhilan smiled and said, "Fortunately, father, you are lucky. Although you have recovered, you still have a good life." Will raise is."

This girl can really talk, Mr. Zhou looked at her, although she still had the same face as before, but he clearly felt the difference in her, adding a bit of gentle and courageous temperament, and her tone of voice was more mature when she spoke Safe and steady, it's no wonder that Qing'er never forgets.

"Father, the food is ready." Qi Mei came down from the kitchen and was taken aback when she saw Zhi Lan. She quickly wiped her hands with a handkerchief, smiled and said to Mu Qing, "Mu Qing, you are back! Today I specially made braised pork ribs that you like."

"Girl Lan, it's rare for you to come back, so let's eat at home." The old man said to keep guests, Qi Mei had no choice but to swallow it no matter how careful she was.

"Don't come early or late, I only come at this time." Qi Mei muttered unhappily in her heart, "What are you here for, to demonstrate to me?"

The eldest lady in the dining room saw Zhilan, and she actually came over and hugged her: "I saw your statement in the newspaper, Laner, you have suffered." The biggest change in this meeting is that the eldest wife has become a little Sensitive, and what was even more unexpected to Zhilan was that the eldest lady took out a handkerchief and touched her eyes.

"Mother, it's all over." Zhilan smiled lightly, and at the same time greeted Yuehua, "Brother."

The dishes have been served, and as per the old rules, the old man is in the main seat, the eldest wife Yuehua is on the right, and Mu Qingzhilan is on the left as usual, so Qi Mei is free, she stands abruptly aside, the eldest wife He cast a glance at her and said, "Sit down quickly, how decent it is to stick there!"

Hearing this, Qi Mei was full of grievances, she picked up the seat beside Zhilan and sat down, she suddenly remembered what Fenghuang said to herself at that time, she advised herself not to grab the housekeeping right, otherwise she would offend his wife and also Unable to please Mu Qing, now it really comes true.Qi Mei secretly sighed.

The old man smiled and said: "Qing'er, order something for Miss Lan, it's rare for her to come, besides, our Zhou family hasn't had a meal together for a long time, well, I remember the last time when Miss Lan returned home."

"Master!" The eldest wife remembered that Zhilan was a divorced person, and if she moved ahead of time, she might make people uncomfortable, so she said, "Come on, Lan'er, this braised pork ribs is very tasty, try it." A piece of pork ribs was handed over, and Zhilan hurriedly took the bowl: "Thank you, mother."

When Master Zhou saw this, he closed his voice. Zhilan’s trip was very good. Everyone in the Zhou mansion had their own thoughts. After careful calculation, it was like a thread going back and forth. There may be conflicts or resentments. Only when Zhilan comes, everyone can temporarily leave Seeking common ground while reserving differences between grievances and grievances, it is she who gently blends the atmosphere at home.

Everyone circled around Zhilan, even Yuehua looked at her with a smile on his face.Qi Mei felt ashamed, annoyed, helpless and inconvenient to leave the table. With a cold face, she hastily finished the food in front of her.

Mu Qing affectionately picked up a chopstick of minced meat eggplant and put it on the plate in front of Zhilan, saying: "This dish of minced meat eggplant, the skin of the eggplant is three-point crispy, I think it was fried, and the meat inside is soft. It's soft and refreshing, eat it while it's hot." When Mu Qing spoke, her eyes didn't leave Zhilan.Although Qi Mei is sitting upright, she still pays attention to every move of the couple next to her from the corner of her eye. The old man and the eldest wife Yuehua's courtesy to Zhilan is nothing more than selfishness. You come and go in front of the servants, where do you tell yourself to put your face?The more she thought about it, the more she hated it. With a shake of her hand, a chopstick fell to the ground with a "pop".

Everyone turned to look at her, Qi Mei was terrified and embarrassed, she hurriedly bent down to pick up the wooden chopsticks lying quietly on the floor, but also to avoid everyone's strange eyes, she saw Zhi Lan beside her under the table wearing a black The feet of the leather shoes with the buttons on them stood up calmly, holding the chopsticks with their fingers.

Zhilan's face twitched, and she felt a burning pain in her toes. She couldn't help but look under the table, but there was no trace.Zhilan knew that someone was doing something secretly, so she glanced over the table, everyone was eating by themselves, and the old man and the eldest wife would discuss the dishes in whispers from time to time.Qi Mei got up and handed over the dirty chopsticks to the servant, and arranged some things by the way.

Zhilan knew it well, but she didn't want to destroy the peaceful atmosphere of the family reunion. She scooped up the soup in the bowl with a spoon, and put her feet in Mu Qing's direction.

After the meal, Mu Qing sent Zhi Lan home.

"It's a good thing you came tonight." Mu Qing knew Zhilan's role well.

Zhilan said worriedly: "I can tell. When sister Mei dropped her chopsticks during the meal just now, she should have stepped on me when she got up, but I don't know if she did it on purpose or not. I would be very upset if she Hate you, one her, one father, I am worried about your situation."

Mu Qing laughed instead: "It's still yours, the soldiers will come and cover up the water and the earth. Haha." After laughing, he said seriously, "No matter what happens, I will wait until tomorrow's meeting. Do you still have pain in your feet? Do you want me to talk about it?" Give you a rub?"

Mu Qing couldn't help but drag her into the car, took off her shoes and rubbed her feet.Zhilan took advantage of the moonlight falling from the car to look at his face, his face slightly reflected the moonlight, solemn and solemn.

After separating from Zhilan, Mu Qing went back to the Zhou mansion.Master Zhou stopped Mu Qing behind him.

"It's been a long time since our father and son went to the study to talk." At this moment, Zhou Muqing felt that the man talking to him in front of him was no longer the young, strong and indomitable man many years ago. He was much older, with gray hair and wrinkles without mercy quietly climbed onto his face, and time eroded the years that belonged to him.

"Qing'er, look! This is a set of tin soldier toys imported from the United States, do you like it?"

"Qing'er, run slowly, don't fall... that's right, just kick the ball over quickly..."

"Master, you only scored three points for your Chinese, the master said that you can reward the young master with Zhuanbanlongtang at least four points.

——No, I want it now, I want it!
——Tell you to change your score, if you don’t learn well!Qinger, tell me!Did you know it was wrong! "As he spoke, he was hit by a board again.

As long as there are memories from childhood to adulthood, the things that only exist in Mu Qing's mind flashed and became vivid. These memories activated the little boy who had always lived in his heart, and the long-lost intimacy returned to him.

He followed the old man into the study.

"I know you like this study the most." The old man sat down on the leather chair behind the desk familiarly, and touched the rather old rosewood desk.

Mu Qing said: "Father, you are back, I will vacate the study room tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and said: "No need. I think you have a good understanding of the things in this study room. But there is still a trick, there."

Following the direction of the old man's finger, it was a hard-shelled thick book - "The Latest Yinghua Conversation" published in the 13th year of the Republic of China.

The old man said: "Yes, this is the book, take it down."

Mu Qing pulled out the book from the shelf.Opening the cover and title page, he didn't expect a key to be embedded in the hollow place inside. He was dumbfounded for a while holding the book.

"This key is used here." The old man tapped the locked drawer with his finger. It was the same drawer that Zhilan locked when he was looking for books a long time ago. "Open it."

Mu Qing opened the drawer as instructed, but it was empty.He looked at the old man in bewilderment, and the latter fumbled slowly to press a mechanism of the drawer.

"Crack." There was a sound.

"All right."

The compartment in the drawer popped open, and a black Brownie lay quietly inside.

The old man took it out lightly and played with it: "Lei Zongxin, you can catch him by surprise, enough for self-defense, you hold it."

Mu Qing was startled, it was the first time he touched a gun with such a big size, and his hands felt heavy with the cold iron case.

"Go out with me at night." The old man's wrinkled face suddenly stretched out, and he said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't know how to use it."

Since stepping into Wande Firm, Zhou Muqing felt like a cat that the atmosphere of today is very different.

The secretary of the meeting came in to inform him about the meeting, and finally ended with: "Master Xiao Zhou".Earlier, he was only the old man's assistant, and he looked very similar to Xiao Zhao. At that time, to show the difference, everyone called him Young Master Zhou, and this "Master Xiao Zhou" brought back his long-forgotten memories.Master Zhou came back, he is the young master Zhou, I don't know what to sigh, is everyone adapting to changes or going with the flow?

He looked out the window.Looking upstairs at the signboards dotted across the street, he hadn’t noticed it at all. The soul of this street lies in the people, and it is the “carrying poles” who carry the goods on their shoulders from the wide road to the place where the traffic is inconvenient. In the small streets and alleys; there are red men and women who go shopping, only they come to various shops to find and exchange their favorite products in a fashionable pace; it is the staff who yell at the door from time to time, singing beautiful tunes to attract customers...

Zhou Muqing raised his wrist to look at his watch, and checked the time on the big clock hanging upstairs and diagonally opposite Hendali Watch Shop.After being slow for 2 minutes, he gently fiddled with the winding with his fingernails.

The big clock of Hengdali Clock Shop and the big clock of Jiangcheng Customs are the eyes of time in Jiangcheng. Every resident on the north bank of Jiangcheng grew up accompanied by the melodious Westminster melody. The enlightenment of music is by no means the gramophone and the theater.

Mu Qing's thoughts are chaotic and complicated, "Little Master Zhou" or "Manager Zhou" only decides the outcome today.The corners of his lips curled up, and as the nine bells rang, he walked into the meeting room.
