Reborn with you

On January 1, the Battle of Weihaiwei began.

From late January to early February, the entire Beiyang army was wiped out in the Battle of Weihai, marking the complete failure of the Westernization Movement.

On March 3, Sun Yat-sen presided over the backbone meeting of the Xingzhong Society in Hong Kong, and decided to replace the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Qing Dynasty with the Qingtian Bairi Banner when the uprising was launched on October 16.

April 4th——The Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 17-[-] ended. Li Hongzhang and Ito Hirobumi signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, ceding Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan.

On May 5, Kang Youwei, together with more than 2 people who had taken the examination in Beijing, held a meeting in Songyun Temple, and jointly signed a letter to Emperor Guangxu, which is known as the bus letter in history.

At the end of August, the preparations for the first Guangzhou Uprising were largely completed.

On October 10, the first Guangzhou Uprising failed and Lu Haodong was arrested.

"Qiangba, come, mother has something to tell you." Shan's mother greeted Shan Qiang, with traces of New Year's joy on her face.Shan Qiang was also infected by this happiness, feeling in his heart, fortunately he came back, the chaos in the world outside the mountain didn't seem to affect the tranquility of the town, allowing him to enjoy the lively warmth that he hadn't seen for a long time.These years, he and Chen Yishui have been wandering outside, and they are usually fine, but when the Chinese New Year comes, the home of just the two of them seems deserted.

"Mom, something good happened to make you so happy."

Shan's mother didn't answer, she just looked at Shan Qiang up and down, nodded while watching, and only looked at Shan Qiang with horror.

"Mother, why are you looking at me like that?" Shan Qiang looked down at herself, there was nothing wrong with it.

"My son is really good. No wonder even the girls from the Wang family fall in love with you." The single mother is really more and more satisfied. Although her son is not a scholar, he is more talented than those scholars. Where is he not respected by others, let alone her son The nose is the nose and the eyes are the eyes, and it hurts to look at it when it is white and clean. That girl does have eyes.

"Miss Wang family?" Shan Qiang frowned, feeling some bad premonition in her heart.

Shan Mu pulled Shan Qiang, pointed at Shan Qiang and scolded with a smile: "Yes, if Mrs. Wang hadn't reminded me yesterday, I haven't remembered yet, you said how old you are this year!" Before Shan Qiang could answer, Shan Mu went on. Said: "Back then you said you were still young, so I pushed the matchmaker away. Who knows that you have been away for six years, and now you are 27, so you must be not young. It's really weird, the other guy is anxious How come my son is so careless about his affairs when he wants to marry a wife."

Shan Qiang closed her eyes, lowered her head and said nothing.Seeing him like this, the single mother just thought it was the elder son who was shy, patted the elder son's arm, and said with a smile: "Okay, alright, I'm still shy at such an age, just marry a wife! Let's talk about business, sister-in-law Wang Having said that, the girl from the Wang family likes you quite a lot. I asked Mrs. Wang to come to our house to ask about it. Your father and I both think this is okay. I heard that the girl from the Wang family is the most beautiful girl in Wangjia Town, and her grandfather is still the same as you What about my husband, if the two of you become successful, you will have something to say in the future, won’t you?"

"Well, Wang's family is one of the best in the town. Compared with his family, our family is still too high." Shan Qiang retorted in a low voice, but he himself knew that the reason was a bit flimsy.At this time, Shan Qiang knew that no matter how many reasons he found, it might not help. The key was that he should be married, not the object of marriage.His heart was warmed by the joy of the New Year just now, but now it has gradually cooled down.

The single mother sighed, "What you said is what your father and I were worried about, but my son is not bad, who in this town doesn't say my son is good, and you are a caring person, and she is blessed to be married to that girl gone."

"Mother, don't agree, let me think about it." Shan Qiang's head started to hurt, he needed to be quiet and think about how to face this situation.

"Okay, then think about it, if you really don't like that girl, tell mother which girl you like, and mother can help you see." Shan Qiang patted Shan Qiang on the back, let him leave by himself, and started to do his own things .

Shan Qiang stared blankly at the withered willow tree outside the house all afternoon, until his head was freezing and aching, but he couldn't think of a way to do it.In this era, coming out of the closet is undoubtedly a break with the family. He loves this family and doesn't want to have a place to miss in the future.It's just that if he were to marry an innocent woman and make her a widow, he would never be able to do such a thing.Shan Qiang sighed and went back to the house.

That night, Shan Qiang was tossing and turning in the cold blanket, unable to sleep, without the body temperature of another person, it was really uncomfortable in such a cold winter night.Shan Qiang opened his eyes, thinking of the ten years he and Chen Yishui have been together day and night, thinking of Chen Yishui's smile, Chen Yishui's concern, Chen Yishui's little habits, Chen Yishui's tacit understanding with him, Chen Yishui's companionship with him in life and death.Thinking about it, my cold heart slowly warmed up, and when I thought of something funny, a short laughter would suddenly appear in the darkness.Shan Qiang thought with a smile, Yi Shui has been working hard, and now, it is time for him to persevere for the relationship between them.

Early the next morning, Shan Qiang went to find Chen Yishui.Because Chen Yishui's home was the first to come back from Shanghai, and Shan Qiang also visited during the New Year's greetings, so Shan Qiang knew where Chen's house was.Shan Qiang held the gift prepared by Shan Qiang's mother in his hand, knocked on the open door, and soon a boy with long hair ran out of the house, looked at Shan Qiang curiously and asked, "Brother, who are you looking for? "

The little boy's face is chubby, pink and tender, very sensual, his whole body is red like a red envelope, his big black eyes are very energetic, so cute, Shan Qiang really wants to pinch that chubby face.The depressed mood because of the marriage has also improved a lot.

Shan Qiang knelt down and asked the boy with a smile, "I'm looking for Chen Yishui, is he at home?"

The little boy bit his finger, thought for a while, and said to Shan Qiang with his fingers: "There is no one named Chen Yishui in my family, only grandparents, um, father, second uncle, third aunt, fourth aunt, fifth aunt, sixth uncle, um, and Hang Hang Nini , big cousin, there are many other people, I don’t know which uncle are you looking for?”

Shan Qiang was amused by the little boy, and finally couldn't help it, pinched the little boy's face with the hand that was not holding anything, it was so smooth and tender, it was so comfortable to hold.The kid who was taken advantage of didn't hide, and let Shan Qiang pinch him, obviously he was used to this kind of thing.The little boy looked at his uncle who was close in front of him. His uncle's eyes were so beautiful, transparent, as beautiful as the transparent stone that his second uncle gave him.

"Uncle, your eyes are so beautiful."

Shan Qiang squeezed again before withdrawing her hand, and said with a smile, "Really? You have beautiful eyes, cute." Children's eyes are always black and white, regardless of their size or shape.

Shan Qiang looked around, it seemed that no one else came except this little boy, she lowered her head and asked, "Little cutie, why are you here alone? Where is your adult?" Such a cute child is not afraid of being abducted.

"Nini and I are playing hide-and-seek. They are so stupid and haven't found me yet. Also, my name is not cute, but Nini."

"Yes, Nini. I'm looking for your sixth uncle. Is he at home?"

"Yes, I'll help uncle call him." The little boy turned around and ran away after finishing speaking. After a while, Shan Qiang saw Chen Yishui walking over panting, and the surprise on his face became more obvious when he saw him.

"Junior Brother, why are you here?" Chen Yishui walked over and pulled Dan Qiang into the door, and asked with a smile.

Shan Qiang handed the present to Chen Yishui, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why, are you unhappy with me coming?"

"I'm not happy. Just now when Nini said that an uncle came to me, I guessed it was you, but I couldn't believe that you would come to me. When I saw it was you, you didn't know how happy I am. Since the last time We haven’t seen each other for more than 20 days since we came back from Master.” Chen Yishui lowered his voice and leaned into Shan Qiang’s ear and said, “You don’t know how much I miss you, and I originally said that I would look for you tomorrow. , fortunately you are here."

Shan Qiang was just talking for fun, and didn't want to draw out so many words from Chen Yishui, her heart warmed up, her brows became softer, and the faint uneasiness in her heart disappeared after seeing Chen Yishui.

"I came to you this time to discuss something with you."

Seeing the seriousness of Shan Qiang's words, Chen Yishui stopped smiling, "Well, let's find a quiet place and talk slowly, there are a lot of people at home now."

Chen Yishui took Shan Qiang in and greeted the family, and the two left the Chen family again, walking slowly side by side on a nearby field path.

"Yishui, yesterday my mother talked about my marriage with me." Sighing, Shan Qiang decided to directly enter the topic.

The smile on Chen Yishui's face froze after hearing this, and then his face sank, his eyes darkened, not at all like the bright and lively young man Shan Qiang was familiar with.He had expected that the two of them would face such a problem after they came back, who knew it would be so soon.However, now that Shan Qiang came to him on a special trip to tell him about this matter, it shows that Shan Qiang still trusts him, and his hard work these years has not been in vain. One step is not easy.

"Ah Qiang, what do you think?" Chen Yishui froze, stopped moving forward, and turned to look at Shan Qiang.

Shan Qiang could feel the fiery gaze cast on him, he raised his head to meet that gaze directly, "I told you earlier that I don't intend to marry a wife in this life, and this determines that I won't anyway. It's changed. It's just that I don't want to hurt my family. I can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so I'm here to discuss it with you."

Chen Yishui could see embarrassment and trust in Shan Qiang's eyes, he couldn't help but put his arms around Shan Qiang's shoulder, and kissed Shan Qiang's forehead.Fortunately, this is a field, and there is no one around in the winter, otherwise his behavior would be too shocking in the eyes of others.

"It's fine you're doing this. Don't worry, I'll figure it out."

Shan Qiang didn't expect Chen Yishui to be so blatant outside, she quickly pushed Chen Yishui away, blushed and scolded: "You, you are too bold, what if someone sees you?"

Seeing that Shan Qiang's face was flushed with blush when he came back from white, and those brown eyes were also very bright because of anger and shame, Chen Yishui felt itchy in his heart. He hadn't been close to this person for more than 20 days, and he really wanted to Hold this person in your arms and knead hard.Chen Yishui couldn't bear it, and quickly kissed Shan Qiang on the mouth. The man was stunned by his action, and he was really cute in his eyes.

"Don't worry, there's no one around here." Chen Yishui took the opportunity to put Shan Qiang's shoulders on his shoulders again.

Shan Qiang looked left and right, and was relieved that he did not see anyone except them within his vision range.

"Okay, tell me what you've been doing recently? How many girls have you met?" Shan Qiang couldn't help laughing out of the sour taste in these words.

"I haven't met that girl yet, it's just that my mother told me to think about it."

Chen Yishui wrinkled his nose and thought, he proposed marriage before they met, if they met, then the girl would have to argue to marry his junior brother, if not, she had to abduct her junior brother early, otherwise something unexpected would happen and he would cry It's too late.He has to think about what the second uncle said a few days ago, and now it seems that this is also a solution.

……

Chen Yishui didn't keep Shan Qiang waiting long, and came to Shan's house on the third day after Shan Qiang's return, which made Shan Qiang, who was under a lot of pressure every day with Shan's mother's questioning eyes, heaved a sigh of relief.

When Chen Yishui came in, he dragged Shan Qiang to the outside, turned back to Shan's mother and said, "Aunt Shan, I have something urgent to tell Ah Qiang, let's go out for a while."

Seeing Chen Yishui's anxious expression, Shan's mother, who was serving food to Chen Yishui, replied, "Your child, what's the matter, why don't you have something to eat first?" Chen Yishui couldn't wait to talk to Shan Qiang. eat. "No, I'll eat later."

Chen Yishui pulled Shan Qiang to an empty place where no one was around, and said cheerfully, "Ah Qiang, I have figured out a way."

Shan Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "What way?"

Chen Yishui took a deep breath, stared at Shan Qiang and asked, "Ah Qiang, would you like to leave with me?"

"Leave? Where are you going?" Shan Qiang was at a loss, they just came back from outside for less than a year.

"Well, I'm also in a hurry. Come on, I'll tell you slowly."

----------Secondary boundary----------------

Scholars, farmers, and businessmen have been the class divisions in China for thousands of years, so that Chinese businessmen were in a low position until the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. 'As soon as it is ready to come out, the status of businessmen has been improved.However, even so, the world, especially scholars, still mostly despise the profession of businessman.

Therefore, the second uncle of the Chen family, who is doing business abroad, is not valued in the scholarly family of the Chen family. What's more, the second uncle Chen does business with foreigners. tone.Uncle Chen was already busy with business, and because of these reasons, Uncle Chen came back once a year and only stayed for two or three days before leaving.Chen Yishui stayed with Ye Shilan all the year round when he was young, and later traveled with Shan Qiang. When he met the second uncle, he could count with one slap. It stands to reason that the uncle and nephew are similar to strangers. Based on the time of meeting several times, the relationship is better than others, and it has to be said that the two have similar temperaments.

Coincidentally, not long after Chen Yishui came back this year, Second Uncle Chen also came back.Seeing that Chen Yishui was also at home, Second Uncle Chen was very happy and decided to stay longer.Chen Yishui was no longer the Chen Yishui he used to be, and there was something to talk about with the well-informed Second Uncle Chen, which made Second Uncle Chen look up at this nephew, and he stopped coaxing Chen Yishui like a child.What made Chen Yishui even more funny was that the second uncle had no children of his own, and now he wanted to abduct him as his successor, and had mentioned this matter to Shan Qiang before he came to him.

If before Shan Qiang came, Chen Yishui only regarded this matter as a retreat, after sending Shan Qiang away, Chen Yishui also had to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.First of all, it is not a big problem for Chen Yishui to decide whether the status of a businessman is higher than that of a calligrapher or painter. Influenced, after all, there must be something to give up; secondly, the domestic situation has begun to be chaotic, if he and Shan Qiang still want to go out of Sichuan, only abroad is relatively safe; the last and most important point, Shan Qiang can only leave with him. Here, the current problem can be solved. It is best to come back only once in ten or eight years. At that time, Xiaohui's son can be soy sauce. Presumably, the Shan family will not be so tight.

Chen Yishui thought about the pros and cons thoroughly, and came to discuss with Shan Qiang. This matter mainly depends on Shan Qiang's intentions. If Shan Qiang doesn't want to leave, what's the point of him going out alone.

"So, Ah Qiang, what do you think?"

Shan Qiang smiled bitterly, the solution Chen Yishui said was the best one so far, if he didn't want to get married or separate from Chen Yishui, he should agree.It's just that he also knows that this era is not like before. It only takes one flight to return to the motherland across a distance of [-] miles. If he leaves this time, he will not be able to return for ten or eight years.He had been away from home for six years, and had to leave within two months of his return, which really hurt the hearts of his family members.

Chen Yishui looked at Chen Yishui's god
