Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

At the end of 1919, a fleet of ships came across the ocean and slowly approached Shanghai.

Mu Qiong came out of the cabin, looked at the coastline not far away, and took a deep breath.

Been away for over a year...he's finally back!

"Finally home." A person next to him sighed, Mu Qiong turned his head and saw Boss Chen's son.

Boss Chen's son is named Chen Yuhai, and he is twenty-five this year.

He had been abroad for five years, suffered enough, and was more homesick than any of them.

And they were able to find him this time because he was lucky and because Boss Chen was kind enough.

When Mu Qiong went abroad, he took Boss Chen with him. When he went abroad, some people asked Boss Chen to inquire about him, but they never heard about Boss Chen's son.

Boss Chen has been looking for his son for several years, but he has gone to Europe and can’t find him. I heard that during the war, many students who came to Europe to study and businessmen died in the war. .

These years, domestic turmoil, and Europe is also in turmoil.

Boss Chen was in despair at that time. For a few days, he was very decadent and even fell seriously ill. Mu Qiong was afraid that something would happen to him.

But they have too many things to do, it is impossible to take care of Boss Chen all the time, so they can only let his students accompany Boss Chen a little bit.

After all, Boss Chen is slowly getting better.

At that time, under Yue Chaoying's instructions, Han Zhen was contacting laborers everywhere, and Mu Qiong asked him to take Boss Chen with him to find something for Boss Chen to do, so that Boss Chen wouldn't think about it.

Boss Chen went there, and after seeing those laborers who were tricked into going abroad and leaving their hometowns to work every day, their condition finally improved a bit, and they were no longer muddled.

In the days that followed, Boss Chen not only ran around with Han Zhen every day, but also bought ingredients out of his own pocket every day, and made zongzi, dumplings and other food to send to the laborers.

When he went abroad, he brought a lot of money. At that time, he probably lost all hope. He spent it generously, allowing many workers to eat food from their hometown.

The workers were very grateful to him, and then one worker remembered something, even though he had passed by a farm when he was helping the army dig trenches, and saw a worker in that farm who looked a bit like Boss Chen.

Boss Chen had heard such news many times, and went to look for it many times, but they all returned disappointed. But even so, after hearing the news this time, he still went to look for it.

In the end, Boss Chen really found his son!

Chen Yuhai was not completely unprepared when he went abroad.At that time, he had already completed his middle school studies in China, and he went to Europe to study with someone after he got a letter of recommendation from a French missionary.

When he first arrived in Europe, he did find a suitable school to attend.

But he was unlucky. Later, when Germany attacked France, the school he attended was closed. At that time, the army was in chaos. On the one hand, he had no chance, and on the other hand, he didn’t want to worry his father, so he didn’t contact his father. He planned to contact his father after arriving in England.

As a result, on the way to England, he met a Chinese, and then... was trafficked.

Chen Yuhai was still young, and when he met a Chinese abroad, he got close to them without any defense, and confessed all his information, and that person probably saw that Chen Yuhai had no background, so he had bad intentions, and not only took away everything from Chen Yuhai. For the money, Chen Yuhai was sold to a farm to do farm work.

Chen Yuhai was strictly controlled, and he did farm work like this for several years.

When he was in Shanghai, he was the best among the students, and his studies were among the best. When he went abroad, he wanted to learn more knowledge to serve the motherland, but he didn't expect to end up like this in the end.

However, he was alive anyway.

After experiencing so many things, Chen Yuhai gave up his plan to continue studying abroad, and planned to return to China to study and start a family. These days, he has been asking Wei Ting for various knowledge, picking up all the knowledge he almost lost.

"Brother Chen, what's your plan when you go back?" Mu Qiong asked.

"I plan to go to Ping'an Middle School for the first half of the year, and to take the university entrance exam next summer." Chen Yuhai said.

Chen Yuhai is not young, and he is still willing to go to middle school. Mu Qiong admires it: "Brother Chen, do you want to learn something?"

"I want to study chemistry, and I want to open a fertilizer factory." Chen Yuhai's eyes lit up.

Opening a fertilizer factory is a good idea, and Mu Qiong is very interested: "If brother Chen is short of money, I can invest."

Chen Yuhai suddenly became interested, and immediately chatted with Mu Qiong.

At this time, Fu Yun'an was talking to Wei Ting: "Principal Wei, you treat Aunt Zhu..."

"I like her very much." Wei Ting was very frank.

Before he liked Zhu Wanwan, it was just a hazy idea, but this time when he went abroad, the two got along more and more, and the hazy veil of this relationship disappeared.

Fu Yun'an also discovered this by accidentally seeing Wei Ting's eyes looking at Zhu Wanwan, and then he was inevitably a little entangled.

He and Wei Ting have always been considered equals, but if Wei Ting and Zhu Wanwan are together...how will their future generations be counted?

Fu Yun'an was silent, Wei Ting said again: "I plan to tell her my heart when I get to Shanghai."

Wei Ting is not young anymore, and he has many things to think about. Although he liked Zhu Wanwan very much before, but seeing that Zhu Wanwan didn't think about it, he thought that not only did he have no money, but his family was in a mess, so he really wanted to be with Zhu Wanwan. Zhu Wanwan was not sure. I would still be wronged, so I stopped that thought.

But this time when he went abroad, he got along with Zhu Wanwan for a year, but he liked Zhu Wanwan more and more, so he decided that no matter what, he should let Zhu Wanwan know his feelings.

Fu Yun'an frowned: "Your parents..." Fu Yun'an was not close to his mother, but Zhu Wanwan...Even if Zhu Wanwan had objections to him when she first found out about his relationship with Mu Qiong, she treated him very well later on.

He already regarded Zhu Wanwan as his mother, but when facing Wei Ting, he felt that Wei Ting was not a good home.

Zhu Wanwan can live well by herself, so why bother with the Wei family's affairs?

Wei Ting said: "If she agrees, I can take her to live elsewhere."

Although Wei Ting has established a school, he is not someone who clings to power. After his school was completed, the government subsidized it, and there were donations from various parties. Now there is no need for him to invest money in it. Although he He bears the name of the principal, but in fact a lot of work is handed over to others. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have left for a year.

If Zhu Wanwan is willing to be with him, he can take Zhu Wanwan to live in another city.

Of course, if possible, he would not want to leave Shanghai.

Fu Yun'an wanted to say something, when someone shouted outside: "It's docked!"

Everyone on board cheered.

After leaving the motherland for more than a year, everyone was homesick.

The big boat docked slowly, and soon someone came over to inquire about the situation. After learning the identity of the people on board, they bowed deeply and looked at the people on board with admiration.

Before Mu Qiong and others returned to the country, what they did had already been sent back to the country by telegram.

Huo Sanshao contributed to Xilin, Yue Chaoying traveled around, Wei Ting and Mu Qiong published many articles abroad...The efforts of these people have saved their country from being humiliated internationally.

Setting foot on the land of his own country again, Mu Qiong couldn't help feeling a little excited.

After resting at home for a day, Mu Qiong, who always felt that he was still floating, went to school, and Fu Yun'an went to Ping An Hospital.

They all have a lot to do.

When Mu Qiong arrived at the school, he found that his school had developed better than he had imagined.

There are more teachers and more students in the school, and everyone looks very energetic and radiant.

As soon as Mu Qiong entered, someone recognized him. The teachers all came to greet him, and the students looked at him in awe.

Mu Qiong smiled and talked to these people, and then went to his office.

His office was cleaned, and Huo Anni Fang Tianjian and others were waiting for him in his office.

"Brother Mu, you are finally back, I can relax a little bit in the future!" Huo Anni was a little excited when she saw Mu Qiong.

For more than a year, she has worked really hard and encountered many problems. Many times, she felt that she must not be able to solve them, but in the end she made it through.

And now, she has nothing to fear.

But even so, she still wants to take a break, she doesn't have time to drink coffee now.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Mu Qiong said.

Huo Anni looked at Mu Qiong in puzzlement.

Mu Qiong said: "I'm going to Shanxi in a few days."

If Mu Qiong said other reasons, Huo Anni could still argue with him, but this reason...

Alright... let her continue to work hard...

She is in charge of the girls' school, which feels really good. It will make her feel that she is a useful person, and she doesn't have to rely on others forever like her mother. All she can see is the one-third of an acre in front of her. land.

Mu Qiong is going to Shanxi, on the one hand, to meet Fu Yunan's family, and on the other hand, to see the world.

In addition, what they did abroad has annoyed many people. It would be good to go to Shanxi to hide for a while. Anyway, in Shanghai, whether it is a school orphanage or a hospital, they are already on the right track, and they are managed by someone. If not, it still works.

Mu Qiong had already decided on this matter and told Zhu Wanwan and Zhu Yu about it. Neither Zhu Wanwan nor Zhu Yu had any objections to this matter.

None of them have taken a train before, and they are full of interest in taking the train north to see the motherland.

In the next few days, Mu Qiong dealt with all the accumulated affairs, and also handed over the stories he wrote abroad and on the ship to the Commercial Press or Dazhong Daily, and exchanged a lot of money.

Mu Qiong invested part of the money in Chen Yuhai's fertilizer factory, and used the rest as travel expenses. If there is a suitable opportunity, he plans to make some investments.

He is still young, but the future situation...he still needs to think about it and prepare early.

A few days later, Mu Qiong left for Shanxi, and when they left, Wei Ting came with Wei Yuanyuan again.

Mu Qiong glanced at Wei Ting, touched his nose, and said hello.

Fu Yun'an never concealed anything from him, so naturally he also told him about Wei Ting and Zhu Wanwan.

In fact, even if Fu Yun'an didn't say anything, he could tell that Wei Ting was actually very obvious, and they saw each other every day on the boat, so it would be hard for him not to know.

However, this is Zhu Wanwan's business, and Mu Qiong will not interfere.

Noticing that Zhu Wanwan had a weird expression after seeing Wei Ting, Mu Qiong knew that Zhu Wanwan must also know what Wei Ting was thinking.

However, Zhu Wanwan was just weird and didn't reject...

"Aunt Zhu!" Wei Yuanyuan rushed towards Zhu Wanwan.

Seeing Wei Yuanyuan, Mu Qiong couldn't help laughing.

Wei Yuanyuan has a cheerful personality and is very well-behaved. He likes Wei Yuanyuan very much. Now... the only thing he regrets about Wei Yuanyuan is that this child... is really too dark!

Wei Ting basked in the sun every day and turned himself into Bao Gong, but he didn't care about his daughter... Wei Yuanyuan, who used to be fat and white, is now a thin little black girl.

Of course, Mu Qiong still likes the current Wei Yuanyuan, she is very airy, she has been abroad for a year, and she can speak English very smoothly.

"Yuanyuan," Zhu Wanwan laughed, "How have you been these two days?"

Wei Yuanyuan started chirping immediately.

"Principal, let's go in quickly." Mu Qiong looked at Wei Ting.

"Okay." Wei Ting responded, and then looked at Zhu Yu: "Ayu, let me carry the suitcase for you."

He is also a little embarrassed at the moment.

After talking to Zhu Wanwan yesterday, Zhu Wanwan refused without even thinking about it, but he advised Zhu Wanwan to think about it—the children are grown up, and they will leave sooner or later. It's good for the two of them to support each other for the remaining ten years.

Sure enough, Zhu Wanwan hesitated, but he thought he should make persistent efforts at such a time, so he simply followed.

Zhu Yu glanced at Wei Ting, but instead of giving Wei Ting his suitcase, he said, "Uncle Wei, go and help my mother carry the suitcase, so that my mother can take care of Yuanyuan."

Wei Ting was elated when he heard the word "Uncle Wei".

Both Mu Qiong and Zhu Yu used to call him Principal Wei, but now he is called "Uncle Wei", which sounds a lot closer to him, and his seniority has suddenly become higher.

Wei Ting was very satisfied with this title, but Mu Qiong took a look at Zhu Yu.

He was very busy and a man, and he wasn't too close to Zhu Wanwan. Zhu Yu was different. She and Zhu Wanwan had always been very close.

Now that Zhu Yu accepted Wei Ting, Mu Qiong was quite surprised.

However, with Zhu Yu's current vision, she really wouldn't interfere with Zhu Wanwan's emotional life.

When Mu Qiong thought about it, he saw his sister took out a book to read while waiting for the train.

He smiled and took out a book as well.

The train was late, and Mu Qiong read a lot of books before it dragged its long body and rumbled into the station.
