Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Mu Yongxue went south and didn't want to take his child with him, but it was cold in Beijing, and his youngest son was weak and couldn't stand the cold. The doctor said it was better to stay in a warmer place.

Although he found it troublesome to take the child with him, he still loved the child, so he took his youngest son Mu Changcai with him, and his daughter Mu Changyue wanted to go, so she also took her with her.

The two children on the left and right are still young, so even if they miss a few days of school, it is okay.

Of course, the second son, Mu Changming, was not taken with him, and he was asked to stay in Beijing to study and be taken care of by his uncle.

Mu Yongxue's family took the train from Beijing and arrived in Tianjin first.

It took six hours for this journey. Mu Changyue and Mu Changcai, who were interested in the journey at the beginning, were already listless at this time.

However, when they first arrived in Tianjin, after they got off the train to eat and rest for a while, they had to board the train again, and this time they had to sit for two days and two nights.

After the two children got on the train, they became unhappy and became emotional.

Their family is in Beijing and employs several servants. The servants usually take care of the daily life of the two children. Lu Qitong is only responsible for instructing the servants to let them do this and that.

Therefore, when going to Shanghai this time, Lu Qitong originally wanted to bring the servants with her to take care of the children, but the train tickets were too expensive.

From Beijing to Shanghai, excluding other intermediate expenses, the train ticket alone costs 50 yuan for a single trip.

They are a family of four, with two children living in a sleeping berth at half the price. It costs [-] yuan to buy train tickets for two trips.Even though their family is rich now, at such a price, it is impossible to bring a servant on the road.

After all, a few yuan is enough to hire someone after arriving in Shanghai.

But without a servant, Lu Qitong was required to coax the children.

The two children need to eat, drink, and go to the bathroom... Although they bought a sleeper ticket, which is much more comfortable than a hard seat, Lu Qitong can't bear the torment.

She doesn't have a helper -- Mu Yongxue has always ignored these things and doesn't understand them. When the two children quarreled, he would go out with a book and talk to others.

The only thing he did along the way was to buy some local specialties from the hawkers who flocked up to sell things to coax the children every time he arrived at a station, such as buying some dates in Shandong, and the roast chicken sold at the station Tea eggs and the like are also very popular among children, and they can save money on meals. He even buys them every time. The food on the train is not bad, even steak, but the price is really not cheap.

Speaking of it, it was precisely because taking the train was not cheap that when Zhu Wanwan, Mu Qiong and others were driven back to Suzhou, they would take a boat and a carriage.

At this time, the train could not cross the Yangtze River. When they got to Pukou by car, they had to take the boat, and after taking the boat to rest for a while, they had to take the train again...

It was relatively slow to drag their families along the road. In order to take care of their two children, they stayed in a hotel on the way. When they finally arrived in Shanghai, five days had passed since their departure.

Fortunately, Shanghai has finally arrived.

When Mu Yongxue's family got off the train carrying their suitcases, Lu Qitong had already lost a lot of weight and her face was very pale. She looked a few years older for no reason, and she lost all the exquisite beauty she had in Beijing.

Her two children are also sick, and they have diarrhea... The children have weak stomachs. When they were in Beijing, they ate what they were used to every day. They ate everything along the way. Sometimes they bought some chicken legs at the station. And so on, and eat it directly as a meal, it's no wonder they can feel comfortable!

At this moment, Lu Qitong felt a little regretful - if she had known that the journey was so difficult, she would not have brought the child, but had found another reason to follow.

She will definitely come, she is afraid that Zhu Wanwan and Mu Yongxue's old relationship will rekindle.

Mu Yongxue told her that he and Zhu Wanwan were in an old-fashioned marriage, and that he didn't like Zhu Wanwan, but Lu Qitong had inquired about it, and it was actually not like this.

Zhu Wanwan's father was Mu Yongxue's first mentor. Although Zhu Wanwan and Mu Yongxue didn't get along much because of the male-female defense, they grew up together.

You know, when Mu Yongxue and Zhu Wanwan got married, Mu Yongxue also nodded. They even had two children.

It was because Zhu Wanwan didn't know a single word, which finally allowed her to take advantage.

Now that their Lu family has fallen, no matter what, she is unwilling to take advantage of Zhu Wanwan's mother and son with the money in Mu Yongxue's hands.

Thinking of this, Lu Qitong cheered up again.

"Yongxue, this way!" While Lu Qitong was thinking wildly, someone waved at them.

They stayed in Nanjing halfway, and stayed for one night. At that time, Mu Yongxue sent a telegram to a friend of his in Shanghai. Now, his friend came to pick him up.

Seeing someone coming to pick them up, Mu Yongxue's family relaxed.

Mu Yongxue only cared about himself all the way, and he was in good condition, but Lu Qitong and the two children looked not so good.

Lu Qitong's youngest son has diarrhea and refuses to walk, and now he even insists on letting Lu Qitong hold him.

The child was already seven years old, and he weighed more than fifty catties including the clothes. Lu Qitong, a rich wife who dared not do any rough work, could not hold him at all.

When walking forward, he almost staggered and fell out.

"Sister-in-law, let me hold the child." Mu Yongxue's friend named Fang Qiusuo immediately said upon seeing this.

"No need." Lu Qitong declined, "This child is very heavy."

It's just that the child is heavy, so it's not easy for Lu Qitong, who looks haggard and thin, to hold her...Fang Qiusuo teased the child: "Changcai, uncle has some interesting things here, do you want to be hugged by uncle?"

Mu Changcai stretched out his hand towards Fang Qiusuo.

Fang Qiusuo hugged Mu Changcai, brought the Mu family into the carriage, then introduced Shanghai, and brought out some exquisite gadgets for the two children to play with.

He also prepared some snacks in the carriage, but he didn't take them out when he learned that the two children were having diarrhea.

Beijing is bigger than Shanghai, but the houses there are not as new as Shanghai. Lu Qitong looked at the beautiful bungalows on the side of the road, and the women walking back and forth in beautiful clothes on the road, feeling a little envious.

But soon, she suppressed this envy.

Beijing is always better than Shanghai, and her husband is a government official, so he must be treated politely here.

Thinking of this, Lu Qitong raised her head.

At this time, the newspaper boy on the side of the road took the newspaper and yelled: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Young Master Zhu has saved the United States! Buy and read!"

Looking out from the window of the carriage, many people could be seen going to buy newspapers after hearing the yelling.

"Master Zhu? What kind of story is this writing? It seems that many people have read it." Mu Yongxue asked.

Fang Qiusuo said: "This is Lou Yuyu's new book! The protagonist of Lou Yuyu's new book is the same as you and me, an international student who came back from studying in Japan. His surname is Zhu, and everyone calls him Young Master Zhu."

"It turned out to be Lou Yuyu's new book! When I settle down, I must read it!" Mu Yongxue said.

Fang Qiusuo smiled and said: "Yongxue, I know you like Lou Yuyu's book, I will keep all the newspapers that published his "Wandering" for you, and I will also keep the newspapers that published this new book. "

"Thank you!" Mu Yongxue said.

"Between you and me, you don't need to be polite." Fang Qiusuo talked about Mu Qiong's new book with Mu Yongxue again: "This new book of Lou Yuyu's is based on small things. I waited to write vividly about the difficulties of trying to change the world, and besides... after reading this book, I am a little worried about the domestic silk industry."

"What is there to worry about in the silk industry?" Mu Yongxue asked. Silk has always been one of the largest exports in their country, and this industry should develop better and better.

After all, people in China like to wear satin gowns nowadays, and people abroad also love the beauty of silk.

"Yongxue, you have been studying and don't know many things." Fang Qiusuo sighed.

When Fang Qiusuo and Mu Yongxue were discussing the book "Silk Town", some other people in Shanghai were also discussing this "Silk Town".

"Lou Yuyu's books are really not as good as one book."

""Study Abroad" made me feel excited, but after these few books...can't he set his sights on a wider field and write something big?"

"You're wrong, a good book doesn't have to be about great events!"

"That's true. Although this book is not written about how to innovate, I can also see a lot of things from it, such as why Zhu Si's innovation failed... He is too high-ranking, and he doesn't know that there are people behind his back. smear yourself."

"This book was not written directly, but from it, I saw the collision of old and new cultures, and the ignorance of the common people."

"Zhu Si's starting point is good, but he was wrong, and we should also reflect on it."

"Reform still needs to start with the people."

……

It is inevitable that Mu Qiong's book has been given some prestigious titles. Of course, most people read it as a novel.

"This book is really beautiful, as good as "Study Abroad"."

"I think it looks better than "Study Abroad"."

"I hope First Young Master Zhu and Xiao Sang can have a happy ending."

"I think it's hard for them to have a happy ending. Xiao Sang doesn't know a single word, and she's still a shrew. How can she be worthy of Young Master Zhu?"

"I think Xiao Sang is pretty good. She dares to love and hate. The plot of her holding a kitchen knife to scare those who talk badly makes people happy."

"If those women can have Xiao Sang's courage, life will always be easier."

……

People outside were worried that Xiao Sang would not be able to go to the end with Young Master Zhu, but Mu Qiong knew that they would definitely go to the end.

After all, he is the author.

Moreover, even if they didn't make it to the end, a woman like Xiao Sang can always live well.

She is a very sober woman who loves others but also loves herself. She is also very independent and works hard. Such a person will definitely find a way to make herself better.

Mu Qiong has always admired such a woman.
