Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

This kind of family affairs of other people's family is not easy to manage. Everyone knows this truth.

Mrs. Yao is also a sensible person. Without waiting for Mu Qiong to say anything, she said: "She is gone, and I am going too. Thank you."

"Are you planning to go back?" Mu Qiong asked again.

Mrs. Yao shook her head firmly again.

"Why don't you go back?" Mu Qiong asked again.

After hearing Mu Qiong's question, Mrs. Yao thought for a while before she said: "If I go back, she...my mother-in-law will definitely throw away Bao'er again, and Da Ya...she is already looking for a husband's house for Da Ya. She doesn't care if she's rich, dirty or smelly... I can't let her sell her off."

"Your mother-in-law is too bad, isn't she?" Li Zhenyao frowned, her parents and grandparents definitely didn't treat her as well as her brother, but they wouldn't hurt her like this: "Where's your husband? "

Mrs. Yao's expression was calm: "He is dead."

At this time, when people talk about their deceased relatives, they will never directly say "dead", but generally say "gone", "gone" or something.

Mrs. Yao directly said "dead", which shows that she has no feelings for her husband.

"Do you have somewhere to go?" Mu Qiong asked again.

Mrs. Yao said: "I had a sister with a good relationship before, I plan to find her."

"Aren't you going back to your natal home?" Li Zhenyao was curious. Most girls would go back to their natal home when they encountered this situation...

"I owe a lot of money to my brothers, and I have no face to go back." Mrs. Yao said.

Mrs. Yao's original name was Qi Xiufen, and she was born and raised in Shanghai. Her family opened a cloth shop, and the whole family dyed and sold their own cloth. Their life wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either.

She is the youngest and the only daughter in the family, and she is very favored. She didn't have to do any work when she was young, and she usually just played with small things at home.

Even, she is literate.

She is a woman, so she does not have to read, but her elder brothers have read to some extent, and her father can also read. If you teach me a few, I will teach her a few, and she will also be able to read.

When she grows up, the family chooses a husband and son-in-law for her, and there are thousands of choices.

At that time, the Yao family opened a soy sauce shop, and the business was very good. Not to mention that her father-in-law and her father were good friends, the Yao family had only one son, and the family business would be owned by this son in the future... Her parents thought this was the best marriage partner, so they decided to Married her to the Yao family.

In the end, because the Yao family had only one son, the whole family treated him as a baby, so that her husband couldn't do anything.

At the beginning, this person was just looking for a date outside, listening to operas and gambling all day long without staying home, but later, he actually smoked big cigarettes!

When her father-in-law was still around, the family was still able to turn around, so it would not be difficult to live on, but then her father-in-law was gone.

Her husband quickly ruined the family business, and borrowed money everywhere. At that time, he borrowed a lot of money from her natal family, and later...

It was said that her husband committed suicide in order not to hurt his family, but she knew that was not the case.

At that time, her husband wanted to force her mother-in-law to take out the money and force her mother-in-law to sell the house. He cried, made trouble, hanged himself, and finally hanged himself accidentally.

Her mother-in-law was in pain because of this, but she was actually relieved to lose her husband.

Her eldest son is good at studying, and she survived for a few years to confess this child, and the life of the family will be easier.

In order to be able to study for Yao Hong, and to provide income for the family, she even had the cheek to borrow a lot of money from her natal family to make up for the shortfall left by her husband so that she could keep the house and collect rent.

At that time, she had just lost her husband and gave birth to a young son. She usually had to do housework and embroider to subsidize the family. She had no time to take care of her eldest son. Regardless of how others feel.

However, it was always good in her opinion that it was her own son, so she didn't take it seriously.

She took her two daughters to do needlework every day, and she couldn't bear to stop because her eyes were blurred, so she hoped that her son would be successful.

She also always thought that her son would be promising.

It wasn't until last year that the son stole the money.

Only then did she realize that this child, who had been taken up by her mother-in-law since she was a child, was spoiled by her mother-in-law just like her husband.

She was very disappointed and blamed herself at the time, so she went to her son in private and wanted to talk to him and make him more sensible, but her son didn't want to listen to her.

But like her mother-in-law yelling, she told her a lot.

She tried again and again, but to no avail.

Forget it, the family was short of money, and after that, her mother-in-law loved to hide money even more, so she didn't let her and her two daughters have enough to eat.

As for her youngest son... This child was born too thin, and looked a little silly, the least favorite of her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law would not even give him food!

She and her two daughters can only save their own food to feed their children.

They are starving all day long, and they can only eat sweet potatoes, and they are still not full. How can they do needlework well?If she can't do well, her mother-in-law will beat and scold her...

What made her feel the most chilling was that her eldest son saw it, but he just pretended he didn't see it.

Her life was extremely difficult, but she didn't think about leaving, after all, she had nowhere to go.

Her parents are gone. When she was at home, although her brother loved her, but after so many years, her brother has grandchildren himself. Naturally, it is impossible to take care of her like before, let alone... She also owed a lot of money to her brothers.

In the past two years, when she went back to her mother's house for Chinese New Year, her sister-in-law didn't even open the door for her.

She could only endure.

But what she didn't expect was that her mother-in-law threw her little son away.

This child was not born in her expectation, but it was also her flesh and blood!He was indeed stupid, but he never caused trouble these few years. When she was embroidering, he sat obediently beside her, silently accompanying her.

Why can she still persist when she doesn't have enough food and clothing every day?Is it because he is afraid that the child will not be able to survive without her?

A healthy, lively and lovely boy may live a good life after being given to someone else, but her child can't even speak, and after being thrown away, he may have to starve to death!

After her mother-in-law heard that someone was taking in orphans, she told her that she was going to send her youngest son. She refused without even thinking about it, but her mother-in-law still threw her child away.

After she found out, she hurriedly chased after him. Fortunately, the child was fine.

She embroiders with her daughter every day, and she can get at least two or three cents for a day's work, and six or seven yuan a month.Although it is not much, it is more than enough to feed them, and now life is like this...

She really couldn't go on.

In particular, she knows her mother-in-law, and she likes to make her difficult and stubborn.For example, if she goes back this time, her mother-in-law will definitely find a way to throw away her son and her two daughters...

She can't go back.

Qi Xiufen's eyes were full of firmness.

Mu Qiong noticed the firmness in her eyes and appreciated it: "It's not easy for you as a woman to live with a child, but as long as you can stand on your own, you don't have to be afraid."

The orphanage on Mu Qiong's side is short of manpower. At the beginning, Mu Qiong wanted to keep Mrs. Yao, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this plan.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Mrs. Yao, but that he was worried that Mrs. Yao would not let Yao Hong go.And as long as Mrs. Yao couldn't let Yao Hong go, she would have something to do with the Yao family.

Although he didn't mind doing good deeds, he didn't want to make trouble for himself either.What's more, there are many people in this world who are poorer than Mrs. Yao.

For example, Mama Wu almost starved to death in the countryside.

Mu Qiong didn't keep Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao left soon.

Li Zhenyao was a little puzzled: "Sir, isn't the orphanage short of staff? Why don't you keep her?"

"It's impossible for me to see someone pitiful and leave him alone." Mu Qiong said with a smile: "It's not that she has no way out, she has a skill and can support herself."

Speaking of which, Mrs. Yao is not the only woman Mu Qiong has met who makes a living by embroidering flowers. When he was working in Boss Chen's western restaurant, he asked the wife of a dead friend of Boss Chen to help him. Just like Mrs. Yao, he supported himself with his craft after her husband passed away.

Her life is much better than that of Mrs. Yao.

And if Mrs. Yao really wants to be able to stand up, she can actually live her life well--Ms. Yao is not young, and she still has bound feet. Could it be that Mrs. Yao can't beat her?

After Mrs. Yao left, Mu Qiong and Jin Huailai were busy with the relocation of the orphanage.

They hired a carriage, and all their luggage was carried on it, and a few children with disabilities also sat on it, and the rest walked on their own.

Even he walks.

Li Zhenyao and Yang Yujun originally wanted to call a car, but when they saw this scene, they followed along, walking beside Mu Qiong.

They had met Mu Qiong several times, but they were mostly talking about the children in the orphanage before, and they didn't have a good conversation. Now they are walking together, but they chatted with Mu Qiong.

"Sir, how can you write such a good book at such a young age?" Li Zhenyao said.

"I read a lot." Mu Qiong said, "If you want to invest in yourself, the best way is to read books."

In modern times, there are many ways to invest in yourself. Enroll in classes to learn foreign languages, go for research certificates, or learn some technology, learn some specialties, all are investing in yourself, but in this era, if you want to improve yourself, It is better to read a book.

It's a pity that there are not many books to read at this time.

But even if it's not much, there's a lot to see.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about books such as "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and reading them must have benefits and no harm.

What's even better is that classical Chinese, which is very difficult for modern children to understand, can be read fluently by people at this time.

"Sir, what kind of books do you think we should read?" Li Zhenyao asked again.

"The foreign language books that can be brought to our country are all good, and you can read them all, and there are also many books in our country..." Mu Qiong recommended several.

Li Zhenyao took notes one by one, and then asked Mu Qiong: "Sir, what book do you plan to write next?"

Mu Qiong smiled: "I'm writing "Wandering" for the time being, but I plan to translate some books."

Writing books is very profitable, but Mu Qiong really doesn't have much time, so he won't write new books for the time being.

But he decided to do some translation in his free time.

"What book do you plan to translate, sir?" Li Zhenyao asked curiously.

Mu Qiong said: "I want to translate an "Encyclopedia", but I haven't thought about anything else yet."

In recent centuries, Western countries have published "Encyclopedias". For example, in the UK, there are "Encyclopedia Britannica", "Encyclopedia Britannica for Children", etc., but these are not available in China.

Mu Qiong plans to translate some of these books when he is free. Initially, they can be published in educational monthly magazines. If there are many translations, they can be printed into books.

These are all things that can broaden the horizons of the people, and he has already started to do this.

And this is also related to Fu Huai'an - Fu Huai'an took some English books from home and put them in school, including a set of "Encyclopedia".

There are many rare words in such books, those students can't understand them, but he can understand them, and he can even find some wrong knowledge from them.

Mu Qiong was thinking that when translating by himself, he could specifically translate the correct knowledge.

The group walked for nearly an hour before arriving at the orphanage near Ping'an Middle School.

This orphanage has only been built for a month, and there is nothing like carved beams and painted buildings. It is just an ordinary brick building with white walls and black tiles.

This kind of building looks very ordinary to Mu Qiong, but to these children, it can't be more trendy.

Their bedrooms are all on the second floor of the house. Many beds less than one meter wide and two meters long have been placed in them, one next to the other. a box.

"This orphanage was built by Huo Ershao, and he also provides food and clothing for you. You have to pay it back. When you grow up and live here for a few years, you will have to work for Huo Ershao for a few years. Mu Qiong said: "In addition, you can work here in exchange for work points, and you can exchange work points for meat, eggs, and other daily necessities."

The regulations and work point system for working for Huo Ying in the future were thought up by Mu Qiong in the past few days.

The life of the children in the orphanage is much worse than that of the children in the modern orphanages, but compared with the people at this time, it is almost the same as that of the children of ordinary people.

Maybe even better.

Such a difference is not a good thing.

He can give them food and clothing, but in this way, the children's nutrition will not keep up, and it is not good.

Therefore, after discussing with Jin Huailai, he simply made such a rule, and this has been agreed by Huo Ershao.

Of course, these children have no objections, but they have a fighting spirit and want to earn more work points.

As for working for Second Young Master Huo in the future...these children didn't think it was wrong.

They have all lived a hard life and know how hard it is to live on. Huo Ershao is willing to raise them, not to mention just working for Huo Ershao, it is right to work for Huo Ershao.

They touched the beds and boxes they had been allocated, and they were all very excited.

Mu Qiong ate his lunch in the orphanage. Jin Huailai bought pork today and made roasted pork tofu for the children.

The cafeteria is equipped with the simplest wooden tables and chairs. Each of the children has a large ceramic bowl. They first hold the bowl to hold the rice, and then take the rice bowl to get the food. After taking it, they sit at the table and start eating.

Fried tofu is tofu puff in the north. People in Shanghai love to eat it very much. They like to put a little in stir-fried vegetables and stews.

Each child was given a piece of pork, two pieces of fried tofu, and the broth was scooped into their bowls, making their mouths full of oil when they ate one by one.

Mu Qiong, Li Zhenyao and others also ate the same food. They sat down in a corner and chatted while eating.

As a result, while he was eating, the street lamp came with his rice bowl.

His rice bowl is very big, and the rice in it is no less than that in Mu Qiong's bowl.

"It's you, why did you come here?" Li Zhenyao asked curiously, she was quite impressed with this child who brought others to kowtow to her.

"Miss Li, Miss Yang, Mr. Mu, I'm here to thank you all." The street lamp said, "I know you don't like me to kowtow, so I won't kowtow, but I still want to thank you! If you have something to do in the future, just tell me Do it, even if you throw your head and blood, it's okay."

This kid is very naughty, he was always full of lies before, but now his expression is very sincere.

He even knows how to throw his head and shed blood...

Mu Qiong said: "I'm just helping you for a few days, I don't need you to shed your blood."

"Yes, Mr. Mu. I found out from Dean Jin. He said that Ms. Li took us in and Er Shao Huo built an orphanage for us. It's all because of you and the book you wrote. Thank you." Street Lamp said : "I wanted to take your surname before because I wanted you to take care of me more, but now I really think it's very good to have your surname! Mr. Mu, I will learn to read well. I want to read all the books you wrote. .”

"I'll wait." Mu Qiong said.

Lu Deng's face flushed, he was very excited to see it, he bowed again, and then ran away.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't spill any rice from his rice bowl, which is considered amazing.

After eating, Mu Qiong left, but as soon as he went out, he saw Fu Yun'an.

"Doctor Fu, what a coincidence." Mu Qiong said with a smile.

"What a coincidence, why are you here?" Fu Yun'an asked.

"The orphanage has been built, and I'll bring those children here," Mu Qiong said.

"It turned out that it was already built, and I didn't even know it." Fu Yun'an looked at the gate of the orphanage: "There is no signboard here either."

Mu Qiong said: "I'm afraid that there will be too many people who know the news, and they will throw the children over, so there is an orphanage here, so I don't say it to the outside world. But Huo Ershao informed the patrol room in the concession and the police in Shanghai County If you see homeless children or abandoned babies, you will send them here."

"That's a good idea." Fu Yun'an said, and asked Mu Qiong if he wanted to go home with him.

Of course Mu Qiong wanted it, and immediately got into Fu Yun'an's car.

When he was in the same car with Fu Yun'an for the first time, Mu Qiong was quite worried, fearing that Fu Yun'an would be unaccustomed to cleanliness, but now, he also realized that Fu Yun'an did not despise him.

After saying goodbye to Li Zhenyao, Mu Qiong got into the car.

Along the way, Mu Qiong told Fu Yun'an about the orphanage, and asked about the hospital.

Fu Yun'an talked about the situation in the hospital, and said: "I'm already discussing with a pharmacy about cooperating in the research and development of Chinese patent medicines, and I should be able to make a lot of money by then, thanks to your idea... I brought you the Thank you."

"Doctor Fu, you are too polite." Mu Qiong said: "You helped me find a house before, and I didn't have time to thank you."

"It's just a gadget, someone gave it to me." Fu Yun'an took out a lighter and gave it to Mu Qiong.

This is a very beautiful Cartier lighter, you have to refuel it yourself, it is not cheap in this era, at least it is more expensive than the pen that Mu Qiong gave Fu Yun'an before.

When Mu Qiong bought a fountain pen, he didn't have much money, so the one he bought was not particularly good.

"Doctor Fu, why don't you use it yourself?" Mu Qiong asked.

"I still have it." Fu Yun'an took out an identical lighter and showed it to Mu Qiong: "Actually, I don't smoke, so I don't even need it."

Mu Qiong also doesn't smoke, but it's quite convenient to carry a lighter with him: "Then I'll accept it, thank you Dr. Fu." After returning, he thought about it and bought something to give back to Fu Yun'an.

The two chatted all the way, returned to the residence, and then separated.

Mu-joon returns home and reads some books first.

He had read many books in his previous life, but he couldn't rest on his laurels, he had to read other books.

Of course, the books he reads now are different from those he read before.

At that time, he read books according to his hobbies, most of which were history and novels, but now, Mu Qiong started to read some other books, such as "The Prince".

Such a book looks boring, but it can be inspired by reading it.

The day after the orphanage's relocation was completed was Monday, and this day was also the day when I hoped that the monthly report would be published.

This issue of the Hope Monthly Newsletter happened to be the one that Mu Qiong wrote to comfort Huo Ershao about the "same-sex marriage" plot.

In fact, in modern times, there is still a lot of darkness, and many people in mountainous areas are still living poorly. Even some people at the bottom still have problems eating.

But when Mu Qiong wrote it, none of this was involved at all.

They are all novels, and they are all beautiful fantasies about the future, so why bother to write about the darkness of modern times?

This article is [-] words long. In fact, the discussion about the same sex between the protagonist Zhang Xing and the cleaning lady is only a small part of it.

It was written later that Zhang Xing was taken to watch the news.

It was on the news that there was an earthquake somewhere.

earthquake! ?When Zhang Xing saw the news, he was very worried, fearing that the people in the disaster area would not live well. Then, he saw in the news that some soldiers went to save people.

There were still aftershocks, but these soldiers still went to rescue people desperately. At the same time, various relief materials were also sent to the disaster area.

The whole country is functioning and helping the disaster areas.

Zhang Xing was stunned, and when he was driven to sleep at night, his heart was empty.

His hometown had suffered from floods.

How can there be any disaster relief?How can there be help from all over the country?They can only admit that they are unlucky!

I even have to worry about being robbed of my last belongings.

As for the soldiers... the soldiers these days, once they take off their clothes, they are bandits!

In a daze, he returned to his own time again, feeling lost.

I hope that as soon as the monthly report is released, many people will come to buy it. After reading it, people will be as emotional as Zhang Xing.

"Country and country, that's how it should be!"

"Unity is a city, all people are united, so why fear natural disasters?"

"Soldiers like this... are really the best soldiers."

"I don't know if I can see that my country cares about the people so much in my lifetime, can I see our soldiers love the people so much!"
