The fate of the Republic of China is you

The trumpet sounded, the cruise ship slowly arrived at the pier, the long ladder was slowly lowered, and at the railing, a group of people waved to the relatives coming down, with smiles on their faces, and there were also people on the pier waving to welcome them.

Hou Shuyi struggled down the long ladder with two suitcases, and walked out of the pier with the suitcases alone. She was not in a good mood when she failed her studies. The only consolation was that she could see her mother sooner.

On the other side, Zheng Jiawen and Lin Shurou carried their suitcases and walked down the back of the crowd. Halfway through the long ladder, Lin Shurou saw the driver coming to pick her up, and stopped to say goodbye to Zheng Jiawen.

"My driver is down below. Let's part here. You must come to Shanghai after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll wait for you." Lin Shurou was a little bit reluctant. They lived happily in Germany for two years.

"Well, don't worry, go home quickly." Zheng Jiawen smiled.

Lin Shurou glanced at Zheng Jiawen reluctantly, and walked down the long ladder to the driver who greeted her.Zheng Jiawen watched Lin Shurou get into the car before turning around and walking out.

"Second Miss." A middle-aged man in a gray gown walked towards him.

"Uncle Xu? Didn't I write home and say I don't need to pick him up? I'll take the train back." Zheng Jiawen was surprised by Uncle Xu's arrival.

"The old lady and the wife are worried, they are always worried, so they sent me to pick up the second lady." Uncle Xu smiled, went to pick up the suitcase in Zheng Jiawen's hand, and walked out with Zheng Jiawen while talking.

"Then I will trouble Uncle Xu."

"Hey, from what you said, this is what it should be." Uncle Xu went to the old car and opened the door, and Zheng Jiawen bent down and got into the car.

On the side of the road outside, Hou Shuyi put down her suitcase and looked for an empty rickshaw. She was wearing a light green dress, a khaki thin windbreaker, and white high-heeled shoes, with a calm expression.

Just as she was waving to the driver of an empty rickshaw, an old-fashioned car passed by. The dust raised up made her cover her mouth and nose with her hands and coughed. Her bright eyes quickly glanced at the license plate of the old-fashioned car.

"Miss, do you want to take a car?" The rickshaw driver walked up to Hou Shuyi and asked with a smile.

"Well, please drive me to the train station, thank you." After Hou Shuyi said, she bent down to pick up her suitcase.

"I'll come, I'll come." The driver put down the car and went to help Hou Shuyi carry the suitcase.

"Thank you!" Hou Shuyi expressed her thanks implicitly, and lightly put her skirt on the rickshaw.

"You are welcome, you sit still." The coachman pulled up the car and ran towards the train station with Hou Shuyi.

On the other side, Zheng Jiawen sat in his family's car and walked for more than four hours on the road. It was already noon when he arrived at the door of his house.

Although the Zheng family has several real estate properties in various places, including foreign-style buildings in Shanghai, Zheng Jiawen's father, Zheng Junren, still lives with the old lady in the old house in Suzhou.

As soon as Zheng Jiawen entered the gate, someone greeted him.

"Second Miss, I hope you are back." A middle-aged woman came forward with a little girl, and took the suitcase from Uncle Xu.

"Nurse, how have you been?" Zheng Jiawen asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay, thanks to the second lady, oh, the old lady and the wife are still waiting in the hall." The nanny smiled.

"Then let's go." Zheng Jiawen quickened his pace and walked in. When he entered the corridor, he saw her mother Tao Min supporting the old grandmother standing outside the hall.

"Jiawen is back." Mrs. Zheng looked forward to seeing her granddaughter excitedly.

"Grandma, mother, I'm back." Zheng Jiawen ran forward, gently holding grandma's arm with his hand.

"Jiawen, I really want to die grandma." Mrs. Zheng smiled and took her granddaughter's hand, patted it and said, "Oh, I still had a little flesh on my face when I came back three years ago. Now that I'm skinny, it's still not as good outside as at home, just come back and watch over me, an old woman, and make up for it."

"Grandma, it's good to be thinner, and thinness is considered beautiful now." Zheng Jiawen said with a smile.

"I heard that group of people talking nonsense. People are still fatter and better looking. When you were four or five years old, you had a chubby face. Whoever saw it liked it." Mrs. Zheng smiled and gave her granddaughter a look.

Zheng Jiawen laughed and said, "Then I will try to get fatter."

"Okay, don't stick around here, help grandma go in, I've been waiting for you outside for more than half an hour." Tao Min who was beside him glanced at her daughter, even though she had some knots in her heart that couldn't be unraveled, how could she know who she was? The heart of her daughter is always on her mind, even though she has been away from home for so long.

"Hey." Zheng Jiawen responded and helped grandma into the hall.

"Second Sister." Zheng Jiayi arranged tea and snacks in the hall, and when she saw Zheng Jiawen, she called softly.

"Yeah." Zheng Jiawen looked at his half-sister beside him, and nodded slightly, lamenting that she couldn't get close to her from the bottom of her heart.

"Come on, come on, Jiawen, come and sit with grandma. Your father has something to do when he goes out, and he will be back tomorrow. When the time comes, call all the relatives, neighbors, and friends from your father's business. You take the wind and wash away the dust." Mrs. Zheng walked towards the main seat with a smile.

The old house of the Zheng family still looks like it used to be in the hall. In the center of the hall is a calligraphy and painting of Jiahe Wanshixing. There are tables and chairs in the front and on the left and right sides, which are used for the Su family's reception and banquet.

"Grandma, you don't need it. What I like most is that our family can eat together in a reunion. There is no need to waste money." Zheng Jiawen helped grandma sit down, "Grandma has money for the banquet, why don't you give me the money to help some poor people?" s student."

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "You, like your third uncle, have you received the letter your mother sent you in May? Your third uncle has become the principal, and he was surrounded by a group of college students all day long. Not that."

"Got it, third uncle also sent me a letter urging me to return early, and he still wants me to teach." Zheng Jiawen laughed.

"Wouldn't that be the youngest gentleman in the university?" Mrs. Zheng smiled and waved her hands, "It's a pity, your father expects you to come back and take over his business. Being a gentleman is impossible."

Zheng Jiawen's expression was a little unnatural. She went to Germany and changed her major privately. She did not obey her father's order to study economics.This time I came back to discuss the future, I'm afraid there will be no peace.

"Hey, Jiawen is back, look at me, I'm still a step late."

Zheng Jiawen looked back when he heard the sound and saw that it was Second Aunt, so he stood up and said hello: "Hello Second Aunt."

"Oh, good, good, our family is really promising. Look, this suit looks better and handsome than those white-faced boys. Just cut your long hair and replace it with short hair. It will be even better. He's so handsome." The second aunt smiled, and she was still wearing a skirt with piping that became popular in the last years of Guangxu.

As soon as these words came out, Tao Min's face changed and he said, "Second sister, how can a girl be described as handsome."

The second aunt smiled coyly when she heard the words: "Yes, look at my mouth, I can't speak without reading, Madam, don't argue with me. Well, Jiawen is back, let's have dinner."

"Dinner, dinner." Mrs. Zheng glanced at her daughter-in-law and stood up. She knew what her daughter-in-law was taboo about. The fact that Jiawen liked girls had always been a taboo topic in the family, but it was not okay to touch anything.After all, how did Jiawen fall in love with girls?

After the family had dinner, Zheng Jiawen divided up the gifts brought back from Germany one by one. Mrs. Zheng took the gifts back to the house for a lunch break, and Zheng Jiawen went back to the house with her mother Tao Min.

"Your room is cleaned by the nanny every day, and the furnishings remain the same. It's still the same." Tao Min said as he sat down under the round table, stroking his skirt, looking at his daughter, with a loving mother's soft light and some indescribable emotion in his eyes. concern.

Zheng Jiawen turned around in the room and looked at his mother. She actually had a lot of things to say to her mother, such as her feelings and her ambitions, but she had concerns in her heart. She knew that although her mother didn't speak, her heart resisted her liking. girl thing.

"Mother, me, can I talk to you calmly about my feelings and aspirations?" Zheng Jiawen stood beside his mother and said slowly.

Avoiding her daughter's scorching gaze, Tao Min stood up and said, "You're tired even after traveling so fast, go rest first, and wait until tomorrow if you have anything to say."

After Tao Min finished speaking, she walked away quickly as if fleeing. The fact that her daughter liked girls had haunted her for six years, six years. As for men with the same ambitions, she always takes chances, but when she met her daughter's eyes this time, she knew that such luck was impossible.

Zheng Jiawen watched his mother go away, sighed slightly, walked to the table, opened the suitcase, took out some gifts, and walked out of the house.

Zheng Jiawen has been intelligent since she was a child, and she has a good memory for reading, and she can count on her mouth. In middle school, she was vigorously cultivated by two teachers, Wang Qian and Xu Manhua.Zheng Jiawen has also kept in touch with the two mentors from time to time during his six years abroad. Now Wang Qian is the director of a school in Guangzhou, while Xu Manhua is still teaching in Suzhou because of her husband and children.

Zheng Jiawen came to the middle school he had attended and was walking in the school when the bell rang, and Zheng Jiawen stopped outside the lecture hall.

"Hey, who is the person outside? Wearing such a trendy suit, this suit can't be bought for less than 50 yuan."

Xu Manhua walked to the corridor, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head to look. Feeling familiar, he raised his glasses, squinted his eyes, and saw that it was Zheng Jiawen who hurried forward: "Is Jiawen back?"

"It's been so many years, sir is still in full bloom." Zheng Jiawen stepped forward with a smile.

"Oh, I'm getting old, come, come, sit under the tree." Xu Manhua took Zheng Jiawen's hand and walked under the poplar tree beside him.

"Is that Zheng Jiawen? That child prodigy in Wuxi who knew a thousand characters at the age of three, was able to speak English at the age of seven, and was admitted to the Affiliated University at the age of 14?"

"Presumably, Mr. Xu will not be wrong."

Under the tree in that box, Xu Manhua looked at Zheng Jiawen, took the student's hand and asked, "Did you just come back today?"

"Yes, as soon as I got home, I missed Mr. Zheng and came over." After Zheng Jiawen said, a childish voice sounded behind him.

"Grandma Xu, I have finished the question."

Zheng Jiawen looked back when he heard the words, and saw a girl doll about three or four years old, with watery eyes and chubby cheeks, very cute.

"Niannian, be good." Xu Manhua stood up and took the girl's hand, and then gave Zheng Jiawen a meaningful look.

"Are you my Aye?" The little baby named Niannian stared at Zheng Jiawen intently, with joy and grievance in his eyes.

"Ah? Aye?" Zheng Jiawen blinked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "No, I'm a woman, how could it be you, Aye? The little baby has misunderstood the person."

"But you are Nian Nian's girl, Aye, are you here to pick me up? Why are you just now picking me up." Tears welled up in the big watery eyes of the little baby.

"Ah?" Zheng Jiawen was stunned on the spot.
