Hibiscus blooms on the edge of the city wall

The next day, as soon as Mingfu got out of school, she saw Mingcheng leaning against the car like yesterday, the sun shining on him from behind, his whole person looked extraordinarily radiant, but only the sharp-edged face It is hidden in the darkness, making it impossible for people to see his true colors.

Mingfu walked in front of Mingcheng, said in a low voice: "Brother Ah Cheng." Then she lowered her head and said nothing more.

Mingcheng looked at Mingfu's appearance, heaved a long sigh in his heart, and joked: "Did Brother Acheng become ugly?"

"No." Mingfu replied without raising her head.

"Then why would you rather look at your own shoes than Brother Ah Cheng?"

"It's not pretty..." Mingfu replied absent-mindedly.

"Get in the car." Mingcheng rolled his eyes helplessly, and opened the car door for Mingfu.

Mingcheng drove the car to a quiet place and stopped.

"Xiaofu, are you still angry?" Mingcheng said pitifully, with the appearance of pleading guilty.

"Brother Ah Cheng, why do you and elder brother want to work in the new government?" Mingfu raised her head, her eyes burst into tears, and asked half sincerely and half tentatively.Instead of asking why they were traitors, she asked why they were working for the new government.Mingfu is eager to prove that her idea is correct.

Mingfu's tears fell drop by drop into Mingcheng's heart. Mingcheng wiped away Mingfu's tears with distress. He understood what Mingfu meant, but he couldn't say anything. Mingcheng looked into Mingfu's eyes , the eyes are extremely firm, he can only use this way to tell her that his belief has never changed.

"Brother Ah Cheng..." Ming Fu leaned gently on Ming Cheng's arms, greedily feeling his breath. "Brother Ah Cheng, you don't need to say anything, just let me know that you are still upright Chinese, and you don't need to say anything else."

"Xiaofu..." Mingcheng really didn't know what to say, so he just softly called Mingfu's name.

"Brother Ah Cheng..." Mingfu raised her head, her clean eyes were free of impurities: "Promise me, you must protect your elder brother and yourself!"

Mingcheng nodded, his throat tightened a bit.

"Elder Sister, please rest assured Elder Brother. I have already told Ah Xiang to deliver the newspaper to my room as soon as possible every day. I will try my best to help you cover the rest, but this is not a long-term solution after all. You Let elder brother make plans early. Eldest brother is in charge of the economy, and given the status of the Ming family in Shanghai, it will happen sooner or later."

"It will take a while, don't force it. It's not that I'm afraid that my eldest sister will find out, but my eldest brother has just taken office and has too many things to do. I really don't have the energy to deal with my eldest sister."

"En." Mingfu nodded.

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

"I'd better go home. Elder sister will ask if I get back late." Mingfu said honestly.

"Okay, then I'll take my little princess home!" Mingcheng said softly, drawing the corners of his lips into a nice arc.

"En." Mingfu nodded in agreement.

When Mingfu came home, she saw the eldest sister sitting on the sofa with Mrs. Su flipping through old photos.

"Sister, I'm back."

"Xiaofu is back?"

"Hello, Mrs. Su." Mingfu greeted Mrs. Su with a smile.

"Sit down." Ming Jing pulled Ming Fu to sit down, and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Dinner will be ready in a while."

"En." Mingfu nodded obediently.

"Hey, this kid is so cute, is he Mingtai?" Mrs. Su asked, pointing to a photo that looked like it was cut from a newspaper.

"Yes, that is Minglou." Ming Jing pointed to another man in the photo and said, "It was Mingtai's first day at school, and his elder brother sent him to the school gate. Mingtai's shoelaces were untied, and his elder brother I tied his shoelaces, which happened to be photographed by a photographer and published in the newspaper."

"This photo is really well taken and thoughtful." Mrs. Su praised.

"It's a pity that there are no negatives, and the newspapers are all yellowed." Ming Jing said regretfully. "Hey, for some reason, I think of the past from time to time."

"You, are you thinking about your younger brothers?" Mrs. Su paused, and said casually, "Your elder brother Minglou is a famous economist, will he come to Shanghai to work for the new government?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.Ming Fu, who had been eating fruit with her head down, looked at Mrs. Su nervously when she heard Mrs. Su's words. Because her movements were too large, she startled Ming Jing who was sitting next to her, and Ming Jing asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, Xiao Fu?"

Mingfu also felt that she was a little bit like an enemy, so she twitched the corners of her lips in embarrassment: "It's okay, I just think that big brother won't work for the new government."

"That's true." Ming Jing nodded in agreement.

"Actually, it's good to come back. The whole family is together, and we can take care of each other." Mrs. Su said gently.

"Sometimes when I think about it, my brothers are all grown up, and I should live my own life, but I still want to take care of them, and I can't let them go!" Ming Jing said with emotion.

Mrs. Su smiled slightly: "To be honest, you always don't let go, and instead restrain them. What era is this now? The world is so chaotic, you can't control them forever?"

Ming Jing murmured, "That's the truth!"

Mingfu stared blankly at the family portrait in the photo album. The eldest brother and sister were sitting in front, and the three younger ones were standing behind. She was still holding Ah Cheng's arm, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.How simple and happy it was then, but now. . .Mingfu thought of the current situation of her two brothers, and her heart felt sour.
