Aunt Xue is very busy [Love is deep and rainy]

[-], the beginning of the new year.

The lively Spring Festival has just come to an end, it is the time for students to go on winter vacation and office workers are just getting ready to resume work.

In the Lu family's mansion located on Fuxu Road, several school-aged children did not feel leisurely during the holidays. Instead, they were busy in their own rooms, packing everything they planned to take away.

Lu Erhao resigned from the declaration years ago, and has been explaining the matters of several shops in Shanghai these days.

Mu Wanxi accompanied Wang Xueqin to tidy up the room with the two younger ones at home.

"Mom, Dad, do you already know that we're moving to Hong Kong?" Lu Mengping, who still had feelings for Mr. Lu, couldn't help asking while packing up.

Hearing this, Wang Xueqin raised her head to look carefully at Mengping's expression, she was still a bit hesitant, and asked Mengping again: "Erhao has already greeted your father a while ago, and your father didn't say much. Mengping, in your heart...are you reluctant to part with your father?"

Hearing Wang Xueqin say that Mr. Lu didn't keep them, Lu Mengping's heart suddenly became empty, and seeing Wang Xueqin's eyes were a little distressed and entangled, so she curled up her lips and smiled, "Mom, if I say that I don't treat Dad at all You don’t have any, that’s definitely lying to you. But... since Dad moved away from here, apart from seeing him twice at Erhao and Ruping’s wedding, he hasn’t even come back to see us during Chinese New Year.”

Speaking of this, Lu Mengping paused, and then continued: "I used to never understand why Yiping was so angry every time she came here, as if all of us owed her something. Now I understand a little bit, she thought back then."

Seeing that Wang Xueqin's face was complicated because of her words, Lu Mengping hurried over and hugged Wang Xueqin's arm and acted like a baby, "Although I'm a little angry that my father is so ruthless to us, but these days, I have figured it out a lot. I am no longer a child, and my father also It is impossible to protect me forever, and sooner or later I will leave this home, not to mention that I have a mother who has tried her best to protect us since childhood. So mother, don't worry about me anymore, and go to Hong Kong with you and Erhao , I originally agreed to it myself, Mom, don't always feel ashamed of us."

Since their father left home, their mother has treated them a little better than before, as if they were afraid that their children would be hit because of their father's departure. Do everything possible to send it to them.

Although Lu Mengping was not as careful as Lu Ruping, she was not a fool after all, so it was impossible for her to be indifferent to what her mother did for them.

Thinking of what Ruping told her before she got married, Lu Mengping finally felt a little relieved.

Ruping told her at that time that after she got married, Mengping was the only two children left in the family.

Although Erhao and Mu Wanxi still lived on Fuxu Road and were with them after they got married, after all, they had their own independent small family after they got married, and since he was a man, he had a lot of things to do outside , so many times, things at home will inevitably be neglected.

Therefore, Lu Mengping, who has a mother and elder sister-in-law and a younger brother Lu Erjie, naturally has to take care of her.

Lu Mengping never forgot Lu Ruping's earnest advice.

So after learning that her mother was going to move to Hong Kong with Erhao, when her mother anxiously asked her if she wanted to go to Hong Kong with her, Lu Mengping agreed immediately, and after that, she took the initiative to accept the notice and appease her. Little Erjie's mission.

Lu Mengping's idea is very simple: her father has Fu Wenpei and Lu Yiping to take care of her, but her mother has nothing but their children.And even if she chooses to stay, is she still going to live with her father?

Let's not say that her father didn't like her very much since she was a child, but she just said that she didn't want her mother who loved her and loved her, and instead lived with her father's other woman like a fence. Isn't that full of food? !

So Lu Mengping never hesitated about going to Hong Kong with her mother Erhao.

But that was her father after all, and Shanghai was also the place where she had lived for several years. When she first heard that she was going to leave, she felt reluctance in her heart, which is understandable.

Fortunately, her mother had already told her in secret that if there were no accidents, the Ye family would move to Hong Kong this year. At that time, she and Ruping, the two sisters who grew up together, would not have to be separated from each other, but it would dilute Lu Mengping's concern for the unknown future. disturbed.

So, in March of this year, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Wang Xueqin's mother and son, who originally lived on Fuxu Road, finally embarked on a passenger ship to Hong Kong.

Amidst the whine of the siren, the cruise ship full of passengers finally set sail.

After the crowd on the pier gradually dispersed, they still stayed in place, watching the two figures of the ship finally disappear into the sky, which seemed a bit abrupt.

"Father..." Lu Yiping, who accompanied him to the pier, couldn't help asking a question from the bottom of her heart when she saw Mr. Lu's melancholy expression, "Why didn't you go see Aunt Xue and the others just now? After boarding the boat, they have been looking at the shore from the deck... They should be waiting for you and want to see you."

"What's the difference between seeing and not seeing?" After a long silence, Mr. Lu said sadly.

Lu Yiping could hear the unfinished disappointment in his words. Although she didn't want to persuade her father, she couldn't bear to see her father sad, so she finally asked, "Since you don't want to part with Aunt Xue, Erhao, Ruping and Erjie, Why did you agree to them moving to Hong Kong? Once they leave, they don’t know if they will see each other again in this lifetime.”

Hearing this, old man Lu couldn't help but look deeper at the sky, but his thoughts uncontrollably flew back to the day when he talked with Er Hao years ago.

It's not that old man Lu doesn't know that Xueqin's children are deeply resentful about the fact that he moved to live with Yiping's mother and daughter.

This can be seen from the fact that Mengping and Erjie have never entered the door here.

Even Ruping, who is the most considerate and gentle, hardly ever sees him again after that, except to come to collect living expenses every month.

As for Er Hao, he only met Mr. Lu once on his wedding day.

These children were so obvious that even if Mr. Lu wanted to pretend he didn't know, he couldn't help it.

But for all of this, Mr. Lu didn't think he was wrong.

Whether it is compared with those brothers and sisters who were left in Harbin, or compared with Yiping's mother and daughter who were driven out of the house by him for many years, he has given Wang Xueqin and her children enough to live a prosperous and worry-free life.

So even if those children want to complain, they should blame Wang Xueqin, a wicked mother.

It was all because Wang Xueqin did something he couldn't bear, that's why he left them and came to live with Yiping's mother and daughter.

Mr. Lu never thought that there was anything wrong with him in this matter.

Even on the contrary, after that, those children all blindly protected Wang Xueqin, but no one stood by him, which made him extremely disappointed in those children.

They are not even as good as Yiping who has been kept outside by him.

For a while, old man Lu even felt that he really raised a group of little white-eyed wolves these years.

Until that day years ago, Lu Erhao visited Mr. Lu's new residence for the first time.

As a guest, even if it was his nominal father's house, Lu Erhao would not come empty-handed, let alone the Chinese New Year coming soon.

So on this day, Lu Erhao brought a rather generous New Year's goods to Mr. Lu.

Although old man Lu didn't say anything, he was very happy with Lu Erhao's sensible approach in his heart, thinking that Lu Erhao was finally going to admit his mistakes with him and ease the relationship between father and son that had been at a freezing point.

But he never thought that Lu Erhao went there that day to tell him that in the next year, he planned to move to Hong Kong with Mu Wanxi and Wang Xueqin.

Mr. Lu's first reaction at that time was to slap the table hard, and growled: "I won't allow it!"

However, Lu Erhao did not argue with him. He just looked at Mr. Lu quietly with those eyes that had become colder and calmer in the past two years. There was no worry, fear or irritability in his eyes. stranger.

Under such eyes, Mr. Lu quickly calmed down.

Only then did Lu Erhao continue to say to Mr. Lu: "Before, you insisted on going your own way. You insisted on leaving Mom and us and living with Yiping's mother and daughter. Mom was so sad at the time, and you didn't hesitate at all. Now I want to take Mom with me. Going to Hong Kong, what reason do you have for not agreeing? Could it be that you are still thinking about going back to Foch Road one day when Yiping's mother and daughter are not feeling well?"

At the end, Lu Erhao's voice already had a hint of sarcasm.

As soon as he came up, he used Mr. Lu's own behavior to block what Mr. Lu was about to say, and Mr. Lu was really wronged immediately.

But he has always been a domineering person, always thinking that what belongs to him is his, even if he doesn't want it, it is still his.

This principle has almost run through most of his life after he made a fortune, no matter for things or people.

But now, this child whom he grew up with is here to tell him brazenly that he wants to take his mother out of Shanghai and out of the control of his father. Of course, Mr. Lu will not agree.

However, this matter is indeed because he moved out of Foch Road first, so it happened.

Therefore, Mr. Lu couldn't justly order Lu Erhao not to allow this matter, but instead said: "In Shanghai, if there is anything, Dad can take care of you. What reason do you have to leave Shanghai?"

"There is no reason why you must leave Shanghai, but there is no reason why you must stay in Shanghai. Although Dad and Mom have a bad temper and have indeed done many wrong things over the years, she treats you and us children very well. Heart, but it is always real. I know that you have had many women in your life, and mother is just one of them, but for us, she is our only mother. "

"At that time, we couldn't stop you from leaving, and we couldn't stop you. After all, you really didn't want to live with your mother and chose Yiping mother and daughter instead. Mom has been depressed since then, and because she was afraid of us Worried, I had to force myself to smile every day. I asked the doctor later, and he said that if my mother continues like this, her body will collapse sooner or later."

Hearing this, Mr. Lu finally couldn't help frowning, but he said suspiciously: "In that case, why didn't any of you sons and daughters come to tell me about this?"

Obviously, he was wondering if Lu Erhao's words were another trick of Wang Xueqin's.

Lu Erhao lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes, "Could it be that I told you that you would abandon Yiping mother and daughter and return to mother and us? Or, are you planning to let mother Waiting on you with Aunt Pei? I just don’t know, if there are visitors, how should we introduce the two hostesses at home. Could it be possible to tell people that one of these two is your eighth aunt, One is Aunt Nine?!"

When Mr. Lu heard the words, his face suddenly changed.

It has always been a matter of great pride for him to marry Mrs. Jiufang.Although now in Shanghai, it is true that most of the current customs are monogamous, but it is not the turn of Lu Erhao, a junior, to teach him a lesson!

"What's your attitude?! I just asked you a word, and you refuted me with such a long list of words! Is this how your mother usually taught you?!"

Lu Erhao's brows twitched uncontrollably at what Old Master Lu said.

It has to be said that these words of old master Lu touched his back.

But he has always been a calm and used person, not to mention that he came to see Mr. Lu today not to have a quarrel with him.

So Lu Erhao finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Mr. Lu with a cold face: "Since you have chosen Yiping mother and daughter, why don't you let mother live? With me and Wanxi, Mengping and Erjie here , Naturally, I will not take good care of my mother."

Hearing this, Mr. Lu laughed angrily, "It's just you? If you didn't have me, you wouldn't even be able to eat every month. If you really want to go to Hong Kong, you might have to drink northwest wind every day! Do you think, When you become a family, your wings become hard. Do you think you can live a good life without us?! You are so stupid! Do you think that you can support your mother just because you are declaring a salary of 20 yuan a month? Don’t If it's her, it's still unknown whether the two of you can support yourself!"

"I don't need to worry about these things. I came today just to inform you about this matter. As for whether you agree or not, it will not affect the outcome of this matter." Lu Erhao was too lazy to entangle with Mr. Lu.

Seeing this, Mr. Lu knew that Lu Erhao was really determined to take Wang Xueqin away, but he still asked Lu Erhao, "Mengping and Erjie, are you planning to take Wang Xueqin away together? Don't you ask them what they think?" ?!"

Lu Erhao nodded, "Mengping and Erjie, I will naturally ask them when I go back today. If they don't plan to go with me and my mother, I will probably have to trouble Dad and Aunt Pei to take good care of them. "

Thinking that Mengping and Erjie might stay and live with him here, Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Erhao immediately stood up and said goodbye, holding back the words that filled Mr. Lu's stomach.

After that day, within a few days, Mr. Lu received the news that Mengping and Erjie were going to Hong Kong with Erhao and the others.

On the dinner table during the Spring Festival, in the big new house, there were only Lu Yiping, mother and daughter, and old man Lu.

Fu Wenpei's temperament is docile and gentle, not the type who can activate the atmosphere.Lu Yiping spent the New Years with her mother and Lieutenant Li in the past two years, and it was very lively. Now there are only three of them, mother, daughter, and father. Mother has always been reticent in front of her father. Lu Yiping Even if you want to invigorate the atmosphere, you still have more than enough energy.

What's more, my father has already told her and mother about Er Hao and Aunt Xue's move to Hong Kong.

Lu Yiping and Fu Wenpei were naturally shocked by this.

After Fu Wenpei was surprised, he anxiously advised Mr. Lu not to get angry with Wang Xueqin and the children, and even suggested that everyone should move in together as before.

Although Lu Yiping was extremely reluctant in her heart, she couldn't think of any good reason to refute her mother's proposal.And to be honest, she never thought that Aunt Xue and Erhao would leave their father and leave Shanghai, like those brothers and sisters who stayed in Harbin, they would never hear from each other in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiping felt that if the future would really be like this, then even if she was forced to live with Aunt Xue and Erhao, it would not be so unacceptable.

To their surprise, Mr. Lu did not agree to Fu Wenpei's proposal.

Fu Wenpei and Lu Yiping only thought that Mr. Lu kept avoiding answering this matter because he couldn't bear face.

But they don't know, in fact, at this time, Mr. Lu is already on the verge of riding a tiger.

Because he really, couldn't find a way to keep Xueqin and Erhao behind.

He is no longer the big warlord "Black Panther" who insisted on one thing and banned orders.

He has a gun in his hand, but the muzzle of the gun is absolutely forbidden to his wife and daughter who have been with him for many years. He has not yet felt so sad that he needs to use this method of intimidation to keep those who want to leave him.

He is no longer the only support for Wang Xueqin and those children.

After Er Hao got married, he should know that this child is no longer the child who would stand still and let him whip him, without the ability to resist.

Mr. Lu will never be able to forget, when he was talking about taking Wang Xueqin and the whole family out of Shanghai, Lu Erhao's high-spirited and confident expression of doing what he said.

They don't need him anymore.

It was the first time that Mr. Lu realized this so straightforwardly and sadly.

And... What Er Hao said was indeed correct.

Now that he has chosen Yiping mother and daughter, there is really no way to turn back.

He, Lu Zhenhua, has failed too many people in his life. If he failed Yiping's mother and daughter again this time, he really doubted that Wang Xueqin's sentence "You are not afraid of becoming a lonely family" will really come true one day .

After many years, Mr. Lu once again felt the feeling of powerlessness, hesitation and fear when he was young.

Wang Xueqin and Erhao are no longer within his control.

Therefore, in order not to be too desolate in his later years, Mr. Lu naturally couldn't hurt Fu Wenpei and Yiping's hearts anymore.

They were all he had left.

He once thought that he was the one who didn't want Wang Xueqin, a woman with bad morals, and that he abandoned her.

But it wasn't until he watched the passenger ship full of his women and children drifting away, and looked at the only women and daughters around him, that Mr. Lu seemed to understand in a daze. That person is right.

However, this embarrassing thought only flashed in Mr. Lu's heart for a moment, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Because at least, Yiping's mother and daughter are by his side.

He won't be alone, never will be.

In the late spring of [-], two full years after coming to this world, Wang Xueqin finally left Shanghai and brought a few children to Hong Kong, a rich land, and finally ushered in the long-lost freedom.

Because Wang Xueqin and the children were newcomers to Hong Kong for more than a year, no matter where they lived or other details, they had been arranged early in the morning.

After finally settling down, Cao Xiangdong, who had been hiding in the dark to help Wang Xueqin's mother and son take care of the property, was finally able to stand in the open.

The Cao family also followed Wang Xueqin and others, and was taken to Hong Kong by Cao Xiangdong for resettlement.

The Mu family and the Ye family, who also intended to leave Shanghai early in the morning, also moved to Hong Kong one after another before the middle of this year.

In this way, the three in-laws of the Lu family, the Mu family and the Ye family supported each other for many years to come, and were united in the same spirit. When they first came to Hong Kong, they took root firmly.

And just one month after the Mu and Ye families came to Hong Kong, on July [-], [-], the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out.

A tragic and protracted all-out war of resistance against Japan finally kicked off on this vast land that has endured hundreds of years of humiliation.
