Because of the trivial matters were delayed for a day, the old lady moved back from the nursing home, Qian Hong only then knew how big the old lady's pomp was, there were 3-4 large boxes for clothes alone, and another one was specially used for shoes, and one was specially used for dishes, chopsticks and washbasins, and a car full of Dengdeng.

There are a total of four bedrooms upstairs and downstairs in the old bungalow, two upstairs and two downstairs, the old lady naturally lived in her original bedroom, and Zhu Ying was arranged by the old lady to the second floor, now Qian Hong has no choice, he can only live on the first floor, shouldering the task of taking care of the home.

In the next few days, after contact and understanding, Qian Hong gradually learned some of the old lady's habits and some stories about her!

The old lady was born in an overseas Chinese family in her early years, but her father died in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and then she depended on her mother, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, her mother remarried, as if she was married to a big official, and she moved to Beijing to live, and the old lady herself was unwilling to leave Shanghai, so she guarded this old house for decades.

When she was young, the old lady was also a well-known beauty, which was very similar to Zhu Ying, but the old lady did not meet a thug like Mu Dahai, but she met another type of scum, a man who had already had a wife and children, and as a result, the two were entangled for half their lives, which directly led to the current situation that the old lady had no children and no daughters.

Of course, it is impossible for the old lady to tell Qian Hong these things, part of which is relayed by Zhu Ying, and part of it is Qian Hong's eavesdropping intentionally or unintentionally, but after knowing that the old lady is so hard, Qian Hong takes care of her a lot more carefully.

In life, the old lady seems to be very regular and stereotypical, she dresses up cleanly every day, there will be no fold on the clothes, she must eat at the point, and she is never ambiguous when she should go to bed, and she must drink a glass of milk every night, rub the balm of Pechoin, and almost come to a good night mask.

In case of bad luck and insomnia today, the old lady will get up in the middle of the night to eat a meal, and even the content of her meal is fixed, that is, their Shanghainese's favorite small wontons, a bowl of ten, no more and no less.

During the day, when Qian Hong and Zhu Ying have to go out, the old lady likes to stay in the sun room in the backyard, wearing reading glasses to read newspapers and magazines.

When the old lady gradually integrated into Qian Hong's life, the house on Lujiazui was also decorated, it is undeniable that Xiang Qingming is still very talented, and the decoration designed by his hand, Qian Hong is very satisfied, and Zhu Ying also likes it, although the money is spent out, but it is worth the money.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the time is already the end of December, it stands to reason that Zhu Ying's household registration is about to be implemented, and moving into a new home is just around the corner, but Qian Hong is becoming more and more irritable.

There are only a few days left before the fateful day is decided, in case there is any delay in Zhu Ying's account...... No, you have to prepare Plan B, or even Plan C!

In the next two days, Qian Hong was actively preparing for this, who knew that one day when he walked out of the door of the old house, he suddenly saw the opposite police station, the alley and the door of the hotel, countless people were holding newspapers and discussing, the curious Qian Hong came to the newsstand and bought a daily newspaper, but a huge, red-lettered headline stinged his eyes.

Gorbachev announced his resignation, the USSR collapsed!

Although he has long been familiar with history, when he experienced this in his last life, Qian Hong was just a little child, and he had no concept of national affairs in his heart, but this time it was different, seeing the death of China's former teachers and partners, Qian Hong also felt huge helplessness and regret.

As for the thousands of ordinary people, they are not mentally prepared at all, so at this moment, the panic and panic in their hearts and the wavering of their beliefs are serious, just look at the appearance of the people on the street.

Hurriedly put the newspaper in his hand, Qian Hong was not interested in working today, so after wandering around for more than ten minutes, he finally got on a bus in the direction of Lujiazui.

Zhu Ying was in class at this time, Zhang Meng was sent out by Qian Hong to inquire about the news, although Grandma Wang was at home, but Qian Hong couldn't talk to her about these things, so she came to the house that was about to be renovated, and silently watched the renovation workers carry out the final cleaning, and several pieces of furniture covered with plastic sheets have been carried into the house.

"Boss Qian, why do you think of supervising the work today?" smiled and walked over to Qingming and said hello to Qian Hong, the 300 fast design fee that he had said had been given to him, but he insisted on supervising the work of the workers, so Qian Hong had no reason to refuse, and gave him another 100 yuan back, which was regarded as helping him save time and improve quality.

"Teacher Xiang is here, what kind of supervisor do I have, I'm just passing by here, just come up and take a look." Qian Hong replied with a smile.

"In three days, no, in two days this house will be installed, I am trying to discuss with Boss Qian, can you let me take a few photos when the time comes, this house is so beautiful, I also want to leave a souvenir." ”

"Hehehe, of course no problem, this is a masterpiece of Teacher Xiang, and it is appropriate to take a few photos for commemorative and publicity. ”

"Thank you thank you, thank you so much. ”

"Did you read today's newspaper to the teacher?"

"Not yet, is there any special news?"

"The USSR collapsed, Big Brother ceased to exist. ”

"What?" Xiang Qingming was surprised, Qian Hong simply unfolded the newspaper in his hand to him, and Xiang Qingming immediately sat down on the chair next to him in despair.

For these intellectuals, the news was even more shocking and subversive, and some even doubted themselves from the Soviet Union......

"The teachers in the University of Architecture have also discussed this issue, but the mainstream view is that the Soviet Union is just mired in the quagmire of the war in Afghanistan and lacks momentum for economic development, but this, this is too sudden, and more than a dozen union republics are scattered like this?"

Xiang Qingming clutched the newspaper in both hands, and his knuckles slowly turned a little white, showing an inexplicable pain and depression, Qian Hong patted him on the shoulder when he saw this and said: "It is not surprising that we have neglected the well-being of the people for a long time, and there will be such a result, but we are different from them, so we will not follow their old path." ”

"Are you so sure?"
