Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

"Third young master, the eldest young master called to ask. He heard from the meteorological station that a typhoon is coming in a few days. He is afraid that the island will lose water and electricity at that time. The young master and miss will not be able to bear it. He asked if you want to take the boat home tomorrow morning. go."

After dinner, Luo Xiazhi took a shower and went downstairs, only to hear the butler's report.

There is no telephone line in this villa, and the only place on the island that can receive calls is the only post office in the center of the county, except for the county magistrate, the police chief's office.It must have been the words sent by the county magistrate.

"Water and electricity cut off, yes..."

Not to mention the current season, even after a hundred years, Chongming Island has become an isolated island in the event of a typhoon, the ferry has stopped, and the bridge has been closed. It is necessary to wait until the rain clears to restore contact with the outside world.

"Aunt Lin, send the young lady back early tomorrow morning. This water and electricity cut off is not a joke, children can't bear this hardship."

"Hey."

Aunt Lin nodded, "The third young master won't go back?"

"I'll stay for a few more days."

The main reason is that he is worried about the school construction site.Although the construction speed has been greatly accelerated due to the addition of more than [-] helpers, can it be completed before the arrival of the typhoon?Can the quality of the project withstand the typhoon?

Anyway, he was worried.

"Third Uncle doesn't come back, and neither will I!"

Smile and quit.

Back in the old house, there was no one to play with her, unlike here, with the third uncle accompanying her running around, and the nanny had nothing to do with her.

"You can't take a shower when the water is cut off, and you can't see anything at night when the power is cut off. You can bear this hardship? Besides, don't you complain that the third uncle forces you to recite poems and write big characters every day? Isn't it good that no one cares about you after you go back. "

Speaking of this, Luo Xiazhi felt a little emotional.It turns out that this foreigner's church school is all taught in English. On weekdays at school, they mainly study English, French and Latin, and they don't pay much attention to Chinese education. " up.

No wonder I read Eileen Chang’s autobiography before and said that her female classmates wrote eloquently in English but couldn’t write a smooth essay in Chinese.

Now he teaches traditional Chinese characters by himself, and he also recites poems and writes together with a smile, expressing the little girl's complaints about memorizing.

"Third Uncle, didn't you tell me yesterday that the heavens will send a great mission to the people, and they must first suffer their minds, toil their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and chaotic their actions-you Look, I, Luo Wanyi, will be a heroine among women in the future, and I think I need to get used to it now."

Luo Wanyi is Luo Xiaoxiao's real name.

Luo Xiazhi looked at her with a serious face, talking nonsense shamelessly, and it was difficult for her. He only read "Mencius" to her yesterday, and she remembered it all at once.

Well, Ms. Luo Wanyi... He needs to recall carefully whether this young lady is included in the who's who of Shanghai.

If you think about it, if the demon capital is still peaceful in the past few years, then for a long time to come, this country will be caught in long-term internal and external troubles, and one war after another will be like a quagmire, killing [-] people. The people of all nations are dragged into the endless hell.

At that time, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, poor or rich, you will not be able to escape this suffering easily.

It is also good to let her exercise.

"Third young master, Mrs. Nong spoils the young lady!"

Aunt Lin stomped her feet angrily, and turned her head to pull the servants in the room to prepare for the typhoon.

The water in the water tank must be filled, the firewood must be piled up, there are candles, rice, oil... a lot of things to do.

In the afternoon of the third day, shortly after lunch, the whole sky became dark, and the house had to be lit.

"Third Uncle, it's so windy."

Lying on the window sill of the glass window that has been nailed and reinforced by wooden boards, he smiled and looked at the swaying uncle who was blown by the wind outside, and said fearfully.

"If you are afraid, go upstairs with Qiaodi and get under the quilt to sleep."

Luo Xiazhi reached out and stroked the top of her hair.

"I didn't sleep, I just ate."

Xiaoxiao rubbed her belly and shook her head, "Third Uncle, a piece of wood flew over."

Luo Xiazhi looked in the direction she pointed - didn't that fly over from the school?Is that a plank?That is the ceiling of the school!

"Master, where are you going?"

Seeing that Luo Xiazhi put on his raincoat and rain boots and was about to go out, Ah Le hurried forward and asked.

"It's okay. I'll go to the school next door. I'll be back in a while. Don't follow me. I'll be back in a while. It's okay."

Seeing Luo Xiazhi pick up the flashlight and leave, Ah Le jumped up anxiously.

It was raining and windy outside, if something happened, how would he explain to the master and the young master?

As soon as he walked outside, the heavy rain fell on his body.Originally, the temperature was quite high today, and the water beads were filled with a bit of heat, it was like boiling water from the sky.

Umbrellas are useless in this kind of weather. Rorschach is walking on the dirt road that has turned into a dirt road, using a flashlight to find out the direction with difficulty—there is no light at the elementary school ahead, maybe The wire has been blown off.

"How did you come?"

The original work shed has long since been blown away, but fortunately, they were desperately trying to catch up with the progress, and the school building was almost built, and the workers and Gu Hanlin were sheltering from the rain in the school classrooms.

There was a power outage in the school. Fortunately, there were a lot of white candles in the room of the workers. A dozen of them were sitting around the classroom. Unexpectedly, the young master from the villa next door came running.

"I'll see how you are, big brother."

After entering the room, Gu Hanlin lifted the hat on his head and saw that although he was wearing a raincoat, he was still drenched. He said distressedly, "Have you forgotten your own body? How can you run around?"

Before he gave this goddamn brother his pulse, apart from the blood congestion in his head, he also had some evidence of congenital insufficiency.

"I'm not a glass man, it's fine. How are you doing? Why are there only these people?"

By candlelight, Luo Xiazhi saw clearly that there were only a dozen or so workers in this room, and the woman who came to explain to his man that day was also among them.

"The old people on the island have experience. Looking at the clouds in the morning, they knew that there was going to be a strong wind and rain in the afternoon. I asked the workers to go home as soon as possible to take care of their homes. These workers were all voluntarily left to guard the school. You see—these doors and windows The wooden strips on it were all temporarily reinforced by them just now."

Luo Xiazhi looked at those workers who stayed behind, many of them were preparing to make trouble that day, but they didn't expect that their thoughts had already sublimated to such a level in just a few days.

Speaking of which, he originally thought that troublesome people came out of poor mountains and rivers, especially this woman who took the lead in making trouble.I didn't expect that people are actually quite multi-faceted... It was because he was narrow-minded before.

He was thinking here when he suddenly felt raindrops falling on his neck.

"Brother, the quality of your roof is not good."

He reached out to wipe the rain away.

"It's not that the quality is bad, it's that the tiles on the entire roof were blown off."

Gu Hanlin took the flashlight brought by Luo Xiazhi, and shone a light on it - sure enough, there was only a bare wooden structure on the beams, and the tiles were gone.

"You can't stay here anymore, it's too dangerous..."

Luo Xiazhi made a prompt decision, "Everyone, follow me back to 'Yingzhou Xiaozhu' for refuge!"

----------------

After finally looking forward to the young master's safe return, Aunt Lin and A Le were not happy for too long when they saw the huge team behind him.

A dozen or so countrymen who were dripping wet and smelly stood awkwardly in the magnificent living room of the Luo family villa, looking curiously and uneasily at this luxury that would never have been dreamed of, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden Decoration and luxury furniture.

"My third young master!"

The housekeeper was fine, but Aunt Lin rolled her eyes and fell straight backwards.

"Today, everyone, stay overnight in the humble house. Don't worry, I have plenty of rice and grain here, and hot water for bathing. Why don't you all go to scrub and scrub first? Otherwise, you will catch a cold. Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin, don't get dizzy , get up and work, and bring someone to cook ginger soup."

"Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi... I really don't know what to say..."

Gu Hanlin whispered to himself.

Seeing that Luo Xiazhi didn't dislike these villagers at all, but instead took the initiative to greet them, Gu Hanlin's heart, which was originally convinced, was now even more turbulent, just like the weather outside.

How can there be such a person in the world, is there really such a person in the world?

Touching his heart that almost jumped out of his throat, Gu Hanlin lowered his head.

When he raised his head again, the naked, fiery eyes almost swallowed the person whose back was turned to him in front of him.

Since I have met you, since I have discovered you, then I... will never let go!
