The fate of the Republic of China is you

Lin Shurou took Zheng Nian down from the rickshaw, and followed her mother into a famous department store in Shanghai. When she first went up to the second floor, she happened to meet Hou Shuyi who was about to go to the apartment.

Lin Shurou has an impression of Hou Shuyi, the woman on the cruise ship who loves to sit alone on the deck and read books and watch the sea, she looks quite young, unexpectedly she is the mother of two children.

Hou Shuyi also recognized Lin Shurou, the unique woman who made her feel sunny and refreshing had an extraordinary relationship with the person in front of her, how could she not recognize it.

The two are on the stairs, one on the left and one on the right, one going up and the other going down.

Zheng Nian tripped over the stairs with his calf, and the little rabbit in his hand became loose.

Lin Shurou hurriedly grabbed Zheng Nian, Xiao Niannian staggered but did not fall.

"Little sister, your little rabbit." Zheng Xianglan held the doll that Hou Shuyi bought for her under his arm, and handed the somewhat worn-out little rabbit to Zheng Nian with both hands.

Zheng Nian took it preciously, tilted his head up and smiled and said, "Thank you sister."

"You're welcome." Zheng Xianglan smiled and waved his hand.

Hou Shuyi's eyes were full of smiles, and when Xiang Lan looked at her, she smiled and said, "Let's go."

Hou Shuyi walked down holding Zheng Xiangtong, and Uncle Xu and the two staff members of the department store followed behind with brand new bedding, dishes and the like.

"Did you see, the lady just now is probably above the manager level of a department store, and the staff are all helping to move things." Mother Lin glanced down, "There are always money."

"Oh, come on, mother, she has money, we are not short of money, look at your envious tone." Lin Shurou picked up Zheng Nian, afraid that she would trip on the stairs.

"You, you don't know how profitable this company is." Mother Lin shook her head.

Lin Shurou made a face where Mother Lin couldn't see, and the three of them went to the second floor for a stroll.

"Nian Nian, look there is a long-legged rabbit over there, may I buy it for you?" Lin Shurou felt that the one in Nian Nian's hand was so old that the little rabbit's clothes were patched.

"But I have a little rabbit." Zheng Nian hugged the rabbit tightly in his arms.

"But this rabbit is a bit old."

Zheng Nian pressed the little rabbit into his arms and said, "But I like her, she will stay with me for a long, long time."

Lin Shurou heard the words and stopped insisting, and carried Zheng Nian to other places.

Uncle Xu drove Hou Shuyi to Peitang Road, and stopped in front of the best western-style building on Peitang Road.

"Second young lady, we're here." Uncle Xu opened the back door and said.

Hou Shuyi got out of the car and looked up at the western-style building in front of her. It was two floors high and the price should be very expensive.

"This is originally prepared by the master for the second lady." Uncle Xu said with emotion.

"Does the second lady know this place?" Hou Shuyi wondered if she could meet here one day, and sat down to have a good talk.

"Second Miss doesn't know, the master hasn't had time to hand over the key to her yet."

Hou Shuyi nodded, took out the key from her bag, and walked to the door.

Zheng Xiangtong lay on the rear seat facing the outside of the car holding the baby bottle buttocks, fluttering his calves, wriggling his little buttocks, and fell to the ground after a while. Zheng Xianglan smiled and stepped forward to hold his sister's hand, and followed behind Hou Shuyi.

"Lanlan, take my sister in first, and Uncle Xu and I will carry the luggage." Hou Shuyi walked towards the trunk.

"Oh." Zheng Xianglan carried a schoolbag, held a doll in one hand, and held his sister's hand in the other, and wowed after entering.

"It's so beautiful." Zheng Xianglan stood at the door, she had never seen such a house before.

Hou Shuyi came in with two suitcases, lowered her head and put the suitcases on the side of the sofa.

"Second Young Mistress, I found the nanny, maid and driver for you." At this moment, Manager Qian arrived and stood at the door and said, "Come in, all of you."

After the three of them came in, they saw Hou Shuyi saying in unison: "Hi Madam."

Hou Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Hello, everyone." "Second young lady, this way." Manager Qian stepped forward, asked Hou Shuyi to go to the kitchen, and took out two envelopes from his suit pocket.

"This is prepared by the master. One is the servant's salary for half a year, and the other is the living expenses of the second young mistress and the two Miss Sun."

When Hou Shuyi heard the words, she took it with both hands and said, "Thank you dad for me." Hou Shuyi was very apprehensive holding the money, even though Zheng Junren was far away in Jinjiang, she always felt that everything about her was under Zheng Junren's control.

"Oh, yes, this is the list of several primary schools invested by the master, for the second young lady's reference."

"Thank you so much, Manager Qian." Hou Shuyi was very happy. Now that she has just settled down, the most important thing is Xiang Lan's studies.

"Second young lady, please be polite. If there is no other order, I will leave first. If you have anything to do, you can just call my landline."

"Manager Qian, go slowly." Hou Shuyi sent Manager Qian to the door, and after she got into the car, she turned and entered the house.

At this moment, her mind is very clear. Everything in front of her belongs to the Zheng family. For the sake of her daughter, the Zheng family can consider everything for her, and can also abandon her for the sake of her daughter. Therefore, people must rely on themselves, and her fate must be determined. Take it into your own hands.

At this time, mother Yang, the nanny, and Yinhua, the maid, were already cleaning the house, and the driver, Xiao Zhang, was also standing on the stool and cleaning the light bulb.

Hou Shuyi carried two suitcases and took her two daughters up to the second floor.

"Lanlan, you choose one of the four rooms." Hou Shuyi asked Xiang Lan to choose a room first.

Zheng Xianglan was so happy that she ran to look at every room, and finally chose the second Xiangyang bedroom that was closest to the master bedroom.

"Ma'am, I want this one."

"Okay, let's clean your room first." Hou Shuyi walked in and wiped the stool first, "You and your sister sit here first, and I will change the sheets and bedding first."

When Mama Yang came up from the first floor after wiping the table, she saw Hou Shuyi squatting on the ground in an apron and wiping the floor of the second bedroom.

"Oh, ma'am, how can I let you do this job, let me do it." Mother Yang stepped forward and squatted beside Hou Shuyi wiping the handkerchief in her hand.

Seeing this, Hou Shuyi smiled at Mama Yang, stroked her skirt and stood up, walked to the cabinet, opened it and wiped the inside, then opened the suitcase, took out some clothes for Xiang Lan, and folded them neatly.

In the evening, the first and second floors were cleaned.

"Ma'am, what do you and the two young ladies want to eat tonight?" Mama Yang was always smiling and happy when she met everyone. Seeing the kindness of her new customers, she smiled even more.

"Let's make some porridge, and the rest of Yang's mother looks good." Hou Shuyi said, took out three silver dollars and handed them to Yang's mother, "Yang mother, this is our living expenses for a month, three meals a day, you see Go ahead and buy it."

When Hou Shuyi was in the department store, she inquired that two silver dollars a month for a family of three could not only eat enough, but even buy some clothes.Now there are five people including Mother Yang and Yinhua, and three silver dollars are enough for them to eat.

"Hey, I'll take Yinhua to buy vegetables." Yang Ma held three silver dollars in her hand, for fear of losing them.

"Madam, I'll go home if I have nothing to do. I'll drive here at six o'clock tomorrow morning." The driver Xiao Zhang said to Hou Shuyi.

The driver doesn't live here, and only comes early in the morning to wait for Hou Shuyi to use the car.

"Be careful on the road." Hou Shuyi nodded to Xiao Zhang.

After the driver Xiao Zhang left, Hou Shuyi dragged her exhausted body back to the house, sat by the bed with the school directory and read it.

At this time, Zheng Jiawen picked up Zheng Nian from Lin's house and went to Shangming Garment, took his letter and went back to the apartment.

Lin Shurou took Zheng Nian to play for a day, and as soon as they got home, Zheng Nian fell asleep on the sofa. When Zheng Jiawen poured out the footwashing water, he shook his head helplessly, put down the footwashing water, picked up Zheng Nian and went back to the house , Gently dragged off Niannian's little leather shoes and socks, then took off Niannian's coat and pulled up the quilt.

Zheng Jiawen picked up Zheng Nian's coat and went to the bathroom, put it in the basin, when he was about to wash it, he found something in his pocket, when he took it out to look at it, he was stunned, letting the water from the faucet rush.

What Zheng Jiawen took out was a photo. The people in the photo were her 16-year-old and Nian Nian's mother Wang Pingjuan. On the back of the photo was written this sentence: Nian Nian, remember the person in the photo, that is the only love in my life. ever.

Zheng Jiawen held the photo for a long time and couldn't get back to his senses. Since he loved her, why did he refuse at the beginning, and why did he say those words that insulted her? Nian Nian is only four years old and can't read at all. The words on the back of this photo are left by Wang Pingjuan for her daughter to grow up to read , or was it specially left for her to read?

Zheng Jiawen's heart felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment. No one could answer her doubts. The person who wrote this sentence has already left, and left forever.

After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Jiawen turned off the faucet and put the photo on the bedside table. She was afraid that Nian Nian would get up to look for it tomorrow morning.In the dead of night, Zheng Jiawen sat at the table and opened the letter from Wuxi.

After reading the six-character letter from his mother, Zheng Jiawen's heart sank. Seeing that there was still a letter under it, he opened it and read it.

Seeing the end, Zheng Jiawen's hands were trembling, especially the last sentence, which made her go crazy. What do you mean messing around will not end well?Please, she and this Hou Shuyi are strangers at all, it's just hateful.

"Hou Shuyi." Zheng Jiawen read the signature of the letter. She wished she could go back immediately and file for divorce, but she was afraid that she would never be able to get out again once she got home. In desperation, Zheng Jiawen wrote back the letter again.

"Miss Hou, I've received your letter. It's not that I don't want to go home and fight hard, but once I go home, I'll be a turtle in the urn, and my only negotiating capital will disappear. Marriage without love is like a shackle, but now you and I People in shackles will only be tortured together. You and I are strangers, and we have no enmity. In the face of this old feudal custom, we should share our hatred and resolve our troubles with a smile. In front of my parents, Wan Wang will help me guide me a little , so as not to delay your youth. In addition, as I said in my previous family letter, I have found my soul mate, and I wish Miss Hou to find her destiny as soon as possible, Zheng Jiawen."

Zheng Jiawen finished writing the letter, folded it in an envelope, and sent it home early tomorrow morning. After writing the letter, Zheng Jiawen went to the bathroom to take a shower, put on his pajamas and went back to the room to lie down, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Opposite Zheng Jiawen's apartment is the western-style building where Hou Shuyi lives.

"Aniang, I can't sleep alone, can I sleep with you and my sister?" At the door of Hou Shuyi's bedroom, Zheng Xianglan hugged the pillow and looked at Hou Shuyi who was coaxing her sister to sleep.

Hou Shuyi smiled, and patted her bed towards Lan.

Zheng Xianglan hurried forward, took off her slippers and got on the bed.

"Go to bed quickly, I will take you to school tomorrow morning." Hou Shuyi said softly.

Zheng Xianglan nodded, and fell asleep within a short while next to Hou Shuyi. Hearing the even breathing of one big and one small on both sides, Hou Shuyi, who had changed the bed, lost sleep.

She got off the ground gently, walked to the bed, gently opened the curtains, opened the window and saw someone sitting on the window sill looking up at the dark sky.
