Lu Erhao was immersed in the chaotic thoughts of contradictions and self-denial, when he passed by an alley, he heard the sound of struggling and calling for help.save?Still not saved?He only hesitated for a blink of an eye, and his legs walked into the alley before he made a decision. He shook his head and smiled wryly to himself. His sense of right and wrong would never allow him to let go. I can't be the unrestrained person I yearn for.The ancients also said that "if you don't be a cruel person, you will never be a man", it seems that he can't "let go".Lu Erhao sighed to himself as he walked towards the entangled figure.

When he got closer, Lu Erhao saw clearly that it was a white man who was robbing an Asian girl with black hair and black eyes.Er Hao was not polite at all, he was in a bad mood tonight, and even sent this man to God as soon as he made a move.

Looking at the girl squatting on the ground hugging her knees and trembling and crying, Erhao couldn't help but sighed again. If he came later or turned a blind eye, one can imagine what would happen to the girl.Looking at her shirt with a big tear, Er Hao took off his coat and put it on her, reached out to her and said, "Let's go! I'll take you home. It's not safe for a girl to walk at night. , be more careful in the future."

It was only when the two of them walked to the brightly lit road that Er Hao took a closer look at the girl he had rescued.After looking at it, I realized that the girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a western-style white shirt and beige dress. Her long hair was braided from both sides of her head and tied behind her head in a butterfly bun. The bright and clear eyes seem to be able to see through everything in the world, which makes her master look enlightened and beautiful.

"Where do you live? I'll take you back!" Er Hao asked softly.Faced with this kind of situation, he has never been gentle and careless, and he didn't know how to speak and act to comfort the girl in front of him, so he had to send her home first, and let her family members comfort her.

Probably because she knew that Er Hao was also a Chinese, and that Miss Situ, who whispered her address in a low voice, felt a little safe in this foreign country, and the girl silently accepted the help of her compatriots.

When Miss Situ knocked on the door of her apartment near Columbia University, only a sixty-year-old mother-in-law came out to greet her.

Seeing Situ's appearance, the grey-haired, sad-looking mother-in-law exclaimed, "Oh! My miss, what are you doing like this! What happened to you?" Then she realized something, covered her mouth, Only when you see that there are no others around you can feel relieved.

Miss Situ whispered a few words in her ear, which caused her to exclaim in surprise, and then put her hands together, thanking God for blessing their lady's safety, and auspicious death.He turned his head and thanked Lu Erhao with a thousand gratitude, and secretly looked at him secretly, and insisted on inviting him into the house to have a cup of tea and rest before leaving.

Lu Erhao really couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to follow the two into the door.

After entering the door, Er Hao found that the apartment only had two bedrooms and one living room, with a bathroom and a kitchen.The house is small, but it is clean and elegant. Presumably the owner was born in a well-educated family.

The furniture in the room is old, but it is very warmly furnished.In addition to the sofa, coffee table, tables and chairs, there is a large bookshelf in the corner by the window, which is full of books. Next to the bookshelf is a second-hand Chinese incense table with a height of half a person. With a pot of orchids.

Lu Erhao thought that to be able to decorate his home so full of Chinese charm in this foreign country full of foreign flavors, the owner of this house must be a person who loves the motherland and traditional Chinese culture, unlike many Chinese people who are blind Because of his admiration of foreigners, Er Hao has a little more affection for both the old and the young of the Situ family.

Miss Situ said "Sorry", and went back to her room to clean up her mess.After this Granny Zhang served Lu Erhao a cup of tea, she chatted with him with great interest.

Probably because I seldom meet Chinese people!Except for asking Erhao's age, name, who is in the family, and what he is doing in the United States at the beginning like an account check, Erhao spent most of the rest of the time listening to this mother-in-law Zhang talking about her longing for her hometown and her love. Miss Baby's misfortune.

From this, Lu Erhao also knew that this young girl named Situ Yi was much better than him. She was really a young girl who had just graduated from Columbia University.

However, Er Hao also sighed for this girl. It is a pity that such an intelligent person cannot continue his studies due to family problems.

This starts with Situ Yi's grandparents.Situ Yi's grandfather and maternal grandfather were close friends, and her maternal grandfather was also a well-known young talent in the local area.In the Republic of China, the situation was changing. Her maternal ancestral family had been a scholarly family for a hundred years, farming and studying as a heirloom, but she just retired to study at home and meet friends.

Situ's grandfather felt that he was far behind his friends in terms of knowledge, and he was also an ambitious person, so he simply gave up his studies and went into business.Even so, the two families decided to marry their children.

Later, the family business of Situ's family became bigger and bigger. Although Situ Yi's grandparents were very strict in educating their son to become a talent, because they were the only son, they indulged a little bit in his private life, which also caused Situ Yi's parents to disagree. .

Situ Yi's mother is the youngest daughter in the family, and she is the only daughter. Her grandparents love her like a treasure. They have taught her how to learn literature and painting from a young age, and never stick her daughter to the inner courtyard. The daughter discusses together.This also made Situ Yi's mother, full of poems and books, open-minded, sharp-eyed, and unique in thinking, a new woman who merged east and west.

Her mother's unique charm, indeed, fascinated and fascinated her father in the first few years of their marriage.

But if Situ Yi's grandfather was considered a Confucian businessman, her father was a thorough businessman.His wife's talent is a decoration for him to show off. He has the ambition and greed of a businessman, as well as the fickleness and profit-seeking of a businessman.

Situ Yi's mother is so smart, how could she not be aware of her husband's nature? If she tried to redeem her at the beginning, but when her husband married back the second wife or even more women for the sake of profit, beauty, and curiosity, this The courageous woman was separated from her husband immediately after the death of her parents.She doesn't want to stay in this filthy house full of desires and tricks any longer.

In the end, in a battle between you and me, Situ Yi's mother successfully left that hypocritical, flashy, and disgusting home with her daughter and dowry.

Situ Yi's mother devoted the rest of her life to her daughter. She taught her daughter traditional Chinese studies, enlightened Western studies, and how to use her own thoughts to think independently, doubt, and verify.

Situ Yi's ability to become an excellent woman who merges east and west, not only has the traditional Chinese subtlety, gracefulness, and elegance, but also has the unique temperament of Western modernity's independence, rationality, and enlightenment, is due to her mother.

Unfortunately, when Situ Yi was 14 years old, her mother exhausted her whole life and died of illness.

However, Situ Yi's mother is a very smart woman. She knew that if she left, her daughter would fall into the mud of Situ's house like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. It was sold by her father for a good price.She begged her boudoir best friend, who also married into Situ's family, but it was from Situ's direct line in the United States, and she was also her cousin.She sold real estate, real estate, and dowry, all of which were converted into US dollars and deposited in the US-funded Citibank in the name of her daughter.

In the end, after his mother passed away, with the help of his cousin who had a good relationship with his mother, Situ Yi traveled across the ocean to the United States and was admitted to the Columbia University’s School of Letters. The savings from her mother bought this apartment near the school. After four years of university study, she obtained a bachelor's degree with excellent grades. Because the four years of studying abroad tuition fees and living expenses exhausted her mother's savings, she was unable to further her studies. Unwilling to accept the sponsorship from that cousin, I decided to work first, and after earning enough money to study, the same is true for further studies.
