Republic of China

But he is a junior but he can't meddle in other people's family affairs casually, so he has no choice but to refrain from asking.

"This is what I should do." After she finished speaking, she went into the kitchen, washed her hands first, and started to boil the noodles under the water, but she was still thinking about Fulai's future life in her heart, maybe she could try to be lenient with her brother Let the son go back to Tong's house. The sister-in-law is actually a nice person, but she has never known the scandal between herself and her brother, let alone that the son she gave birth to is his brother's own flesh and blood. She should treat Fulai kindly, right?

After a while, she didn't realize that the water in the pot was boiling, and hurriedly poured noodles into it. Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door, and Shen Yuezhi went to open the door first.

The elder brother came again with the officer, and greeted Mr. Shen with a smile on his face.

She immediately turned her face away and continued to cook the noodles, but her heart became more and more uneasy!

After greeting Shen Yuezhi, Mr. Tong asked, "I want to talk to Fulai, which room is he in?"

"Xiwu, he injured his leg and is lying down." After Yuezhi finished speaking, he brought the two of them into the room.

When the door was opened, Fulai was sitting on the bed and slowly reading the newspapers. These newspapers were brought from Mr. Shen’s room. He used the dictionary to look up words he didn’t know. I will learn to recognize some characters, and now I can read books and newspapers without any problem.

"Fulai, Mr. Tong is here to see you." Shen Yuezhi invited Tong Xiaocheng into the room, and then returned to the north room with Adjutant Zhao, leaving the father and son to chat alone.

Seeing his father coming in, Fulai hurriedly collected the dictionary and newspaper, and said nervously, "Sit down, I'll make you tea." He was about to get out of bed, but his father stopped him.

Tong Xiaocheng sat on the chair and smiled gently: "Your legs are inconvenient, sit still, I'm not thirsty, I wanted to talk to you yesterday, but your mother was still angry with me, so I Came here today."

He didn't dare to look up at his biological father, and grabbed the corner of the quilt with some embarrassment and said, "She's better now."

"Well... your mother has already told you. I want to take you back to Guangzhou. You are my son and you will naturally go back to the Tong family. Your brother works in a bank and your sister runs a business. Okay, what I mean is that I want you to stay with me, and I will send you to the Whampoa Military Academy, and you will be an officer after graduation." He had already planned the future for Fulai, and even thought about where he would go after graduation In order to be careful, he kept watching his son's expression when he was speaking. Although they were still strangers to each other, they were close relatives whose blood was thicker than water. He believed that Fulai would obey his teachings.

Tong Fulai was inexplicable when he heard these words, and couldn't accept it for a while. Could it be that his father is a soldier?

Seeing his son's stupefied expression, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said patiently, "I serve in the staff department of the national government, so I hope you can inherit my mantle and be an excellent soldier." It's a great opportunity, if you seize the opportunity, you might be able to achieve success and revive Tong Jia's clan, so he needs a close relative to help him.

Fulai looked at his father indifferently, and was speechless for a long time. Is his future going to the battlefield with his father, walking in the smoke of gunpowder?He is just an ordinary coachman, how can the coachman fly out of the chicken coop and become a heroic officer?This is simply a joke!

Mr. Tong saw his son's expression, so he simply sat beside Fulai and patted him on the shoulder: "Fulai, father will arrange everything for you. Marry a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law, and spread the branches and leaves for my Tong family early."

He buried his head and replied: "I... still want to ask Mother what she means." No matter what, he couldn't leave his mother behind, even if his father paved the way for him. , but these are not as important as mothers.

"I'll talk to your mother, you can rest." After Tong Xiaocheng finished speaking, he walked out of the Westinghouse and came to the kitchen.

Seeing his sister standing in front of the stove in a daze, he asked softly, "Chunyan, I sincerely want to take you back to Guangzhou this time. Please forgive me. I'm getting old and I just want to keep my children alone." By my side, you have to go back to the Tong family." Over the years, he did always think of his sister who ran away from home, but he didn't have the courage to look for Chunyan, because he didn't quite understand the importance of having another son, even if this son The body is abnormal, but it is always his own flesh and blood, and he is someone who can be completely trusted.Now he finally realized it, so he had to bring Fu back and forth to Guangzhou anyway.

The future is uncertain

Tong Chunyan stared at the stove, and said coldly: "I won't go back to Tong's house with you. As for Fulai, you must treat him kindly, or I won't spare you!"

"But if you don't go to Guangzhou, he won't leave with me. Besides, you are in such poor health. How can you stay in Beijing alone? When you arrive in Guangzhou, you will have a servant to take care of you, so you can rest and recuperate at ease. Chunyan, Bie Ning Let's go back with brother." He said earnestly.

She turned around slowly, and asked with a sneer, "Then how do you explain it to your sister-in-law? Are you saying that he is the offspring of me and you?" This shameless man robbed her of her happiness and imprisoned her freedom. If she wants to take her son away from her, isn't she afraid of thunder?

Mr. Tong sighed, and replied with a deep frown: "I will tell them that the biological mother is someone else, and I asked you to take care of Fulai in Beijing." It's the only way to deal with things now, the uncooked rice is ripe In fact, even Qiuxia can't say anything about herself, and Fulai is already 20 years old, born upright, and kind, his wife will not embarrass the youngest son, but Rongfei and Xiaoluan may find it difficult to accept.

Chunyan turned around and poured the cooked noodles into a bowl, and then replied in a low voice: "Let me think about it." She has already begun to waver now, and it is indeed better to let Fulai follow her brother than to stay in Beijing as a driver, no matter what. How children can have a stable and comfortable life.

"Okay, I live in the Huguang Guild Hall, and I'm usually there at night. Today I'll go back first. You have to pay attention to your body and don't work too hard." He said in a very gentle tone, and then came to the North House to bid farewell to Shen Yuezhi.

Boss Shen hurried out of the room with Adjutant Zhao.

"Mr. Tong, are you leaving?" He asked, it seems that the old man didn't make an agreement with the aunt, otherwise he wouldn't leave so soon.

"Well, I have to trouble Boss Shen to take care of my sister and Fulai. I have some things to do in the past two days. I have been out socializing during the day and go back to the hall to rest at night. When I finish my work, I must invite Boss Shen to drink!" He said, unexpectedly Shen Mu Han's son is quite enthusiastic and forthright, not as sophisticated as someone in the officialdom, hehe, no wonder, this kid is an actor who hangs around in the troupe, and naturally he is not a son of an official family in the general sense.

"I really don't dare to be the younger generation. I should come to visit the younger generation. I'll see you off." As he spoke, he accompanied Mr. Tong and Adjutant Zhao out, and sent them to the entrance of the alley, and did not return until they drove away. courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Fulai dragging his injured foot and squatting beside the foreign car, carefully wiping the dust on the car with a rag, looking serious as if he was taking care of a loved one.

"Fulai, why don't you go back and lie down, why come out?" Shen Yuezhi was very angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to urge him.

But Tong Fulai replied with a silly smile: "I'm fine, the car has to be wiped every day, I don't feel at ease if I don't wipe it, my father and the others are gone?" He couldn't help hesitating when he said this, logically speaking, he should send his father out in person Yes, but he just doesn't get used to it. Isn't he too unfilial?Even though his father didn't raise him as an adult, he was still the one who gave him life, and he couldn't complain, but there was still a trace of resentment in his heart. He couldn't put Mr. Tong in the "father's position" because his father He was still a complete stranger.

Seeing Fulai's frown, Yuezhi asked in a low voice: "Is there no way to accept Mr. Tong?"

The coachman straightened up and replied sadly: "...I don't know what it's like to have a father, and I don't know how to treat him. I just... feel terrified!"

Boss Shen supported him by the shoulder and said: "Maybe I don't fully understand you, but everyone makes mistakes. After all, he is your father, so you should try to forgive him. Hatred will only make people fall into more pain." , but learning to let go of it will make your life more enjoyable, people can’t be fooled, especially in this kind of war-torn era, and you must have the joy of life to be happy, don’t let the golden cup be empty to the moon?” So He sees everything very openly, even a bit cynical, but the state where everyone is drunk and I am sober is absolutely unacceptable, it will only make people live more exhausted and desperate!

Tong Fulai didn't quite understand Yuezhi's meaning, he blinked and asked in a muffled voice: "Your words are too profound, I don't understand."

Shen Yuezhi smiled: "Come talk in my room, it's very cold outside, besides, it's time to eat."

"Oh, good." Fulai entered the north room with his support.

After a while, my mother came over with the cooked noodles.

She filled the noodles for the two of them, and then said a little weakly: "Mr. Shen, you and Fulai eat, I'll go back to the house to rest, and come back later to clean up." She was very upset and still couldn't make up her mind , she has to think about it carefully, and think carefully, to sort out the future things.

"You should rest." Yuezhi understood her distress, so he nodded understandingly.

Looking at his mother's thin back and walking out of the house, Fulai frowned worriedly, and couldn't even arouse his appetite.
