Eight

On that crisp autumn morning, Adjutant Yu accompanied Tuanzuo Ma Zhanshan to Chunshao's house.

This time, Lao Yu became an adjutant, and he had a lot of confidence in his heart, and he had not yet walked to the door of Chun Shao, so he shouted at the top of his voice: Chun Shao, Dad has come to see you!

When Chun Shao pushed open the door, he first saw his father, who was dressed in new clothes, and then saw Captain Ma. The head of the horse in Chun Shao's eyes is very a character, with a size of 1.8 meters, very black hair, and a pair of eyes that are also wild when looking at people. She didn't know at the time that the well-known horse beard was Ma Zhanshan in front of her, and Chun Shao's first feeling was that Ma Zhanshan was very burly, a little handsome, and of course, wild.

When the adjutant entered the door, he naturally let the head of the horse go to the front. Captain Ma didn't take his eyes off when he saw Chun Shao, he looked at Chun Shao. Spring peony seems to have changed, and it doesn't seem to change. said that it has changed, it is the spring peony that has become more feminine, the convex and uneven places are so just right, people are fatter, and of course they are fuller. It is said that the spring peony has not changed, because the spring peony is still so bright and young. Captain Ma hadn't seen Chun Peony so closely, and at this time, he even smelled the bursts of body fragrance emanating from Chun Peony's body. Ma Zhanshan gritted his teeth in his heart and said: Fuck, this girl wants it!

After entering the door, Adjutant Yu hurriedly said: This is our head of the horse.

After Chun Shao said "oh", she moved the stool in front of Ma Zhanshan, and said again: Head Ma, please take a seat.

Sit, sit. Ma Zhanshan smiled and narrowed his eyes.

After Chun Shao poured another cup of tea for Ma Zhanshan, he sat on the edge of the kang with half of his body.

Adjutant Yu said: Chun Shao Wow, Dad is now an adjutant.

Chun Shao didn't know what the adjutant's official position was, but when she saw her father's appearance, she was still happy for her father in her heart.

Ma Zhanshan sat for a while and then stood up, looked at the room, shook his head while looking at it, and then said: It's a pity that the famous people of the past live here.

The father nodded and said, "Tuanzuo, where did you go, that's good."

Ma Zhanshan changed his words again: I heard that your son-in-law is teaching?

The father nodded, as if a chicken was pecking rice.

Mr. Song heard the voice and walked in, and he shook hands with Ma Zhanshan first. Chun Shao saw that Mr. Song's fingers were still stained with some ink, and then she saw that Ma Zhanshan's big hands were very big and powerful.

After Ma Zhanshan shook hands with Mr. Song, he stretched out a big hand and patted Mr. Song's shoulder very vigorously and said: "Teacher, educated, amazing."

Mr. Song hurriedly said: Where, where.

Ma Zhanshan also said: I don't know if Mr. is interested in coming to me to get an errand to ensure that you eat better and earn more than you do now.

Mr. Song hurriedly shook his head: Where, where, the teacher can't do that.

Ma Zhanshan also smiled, turned his hands behind his back for two weeks and then left.

Mr. Song and Chun Shao went to see off their father and Ma Zhanshan.

Ma Zhanshan waved his hand and said: Let's go back, just come and see, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to listen to the famous actors.

Adjutant Yu also waved his hand like Ma Zhanshan and said: Go back, it's nothing, just take a look.

The appearance of the father is very "adjutant".

After Ma Zhanshan and his father left, Mr. Song went back to teach, and he said to Chun Shao as he walked: Now our family is lively.

Chun Shao didn't hear Mr. Song's words clearly, she was in a daze at the door.

There was nothing to say for a few days, and suddenly one day, it was already evening, and Adjutant Yu came in a hurry, and Chun Shao had just finished cooking and was about to eat with Mr. Song.

As soon as my father entered the door, he said: Spring peony, head Ma invites you to go to the play.

Chun Shao hasn't watched a play for a long time, she is holding back a little masterless, and when she heard that she was going to act, she immediately became much more energetic.

She said, "Then let's go and see it together after dinner."

Father said: Tonight is a special performance for the head of the horse troupe by Yakzi and Shilixiang, and others can't watch it.

Chun Shao put down the bowl and looked at Mr. Song.

Father hurriedly said: Captain Ma said that he doesn't know much about drama and wants to invite Chun Shao to talk about drama.

After his father finished speaking, he took Chun Shao's hand and walked out, saying to Mr. Song as he walked: Then we will go.

Adjutant Yu had vaguely felt that Ma Zhanshan had taken a fancy to Chun Shao, and from the moment Ma Zhanshan appointed him as an adjutant, he had a premonition that something was going to happen. Speaking in his heart, he was happy, and he even imagined that one day, the head of the Ma regiment married Chun Shao, then he would be five or six, and maybe he could be a deputy of the regiment, and at that time, his old Yu family would be smoking from the ancestral grave.

Sure enough, as the adjutant expected, a few days later, Ma Zhanshan sent him to invite Chun Shao to listen to the play. Adjutant Yu's heart was full of joy, Mr. Song, who used to be quite like him in his heart, was nothing at this time.

The play was performed in the regiment headquarters, several gas lamps were lit at the same time, illuminating the whole room brighter than in the daytime, there were guards standing guard at the entrance of the regiment department, there were few people in the house, except for Ma Zhanshan, there were several deputy regimental guards or something.

Ma Zhanshan sat behind the table, and there were snacks and sweets on the table. When the adjutant Yu led Chun Shao in, Ma Zhanshan stood up and said to Chun Shao: Watch the play tonight, please have a good time in this corner.

After speaking, he let Chun Shao sit down beside him.

Ma Zhanshan clapped his hands and said: Let's start.

Shilixiang and Muzi were brought in through the side door by a guard and stood in the empty space of the room. The play begins.

Chun Shao didn't take the trick into it, for some reason, her mind was on Ma Zhanshan. In the past, all the people she met were rich people, and if people were rich, the shelves would be very large. Ma Zhanshan is an official, he has soldiers and guns in his hands, and the shelf is naturally very large, but he has another thing that rich people don't have, that is, the kind of wildness on Ma Zhanshan's body. Wild and atmospheric together are domineering.

This domineering spirit deeply occupies Chun Shao's heart.

Later, she came to her senses and began to watch the play, focusing on Shili Xiang and Yakzi. It was the first time for her to sit in this position to watch the play, she was so close to Shilixiang and Yakzi, they were singing one after another, she suddenly felt that they were very pitiful, whether they wanted to or not, as long as Ma Zhanshan said something, they had to come to sing. Maybe give them some reward, maybe they don't give it, whether they give it or not, they have to sing. She thought of her past again, when she had a fever and had to sing, but she lost her voice. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shed tears. Ma Zhanshan's mind was half listening to the play, and half was secretly observing Chun Shao, Chun Shao's tears were first-class, Ma Zhanshan hurriedly beckoned a handkerchief and handed it over.

Then Ma Zhanshan shouted: Okay. With another wave of his hand, a guard walked over with a tray, which was Ma Zhanshan's reward for ten miles of incense and yaks.

Ma Zhanshan said: Sing well, sing so much that the singers cry, good!

Ten miles of incense and yaki sang harder and harder.

With the first day of junior high school, there is fifteen.

Adjutant Yu went to invite Chun Peony twice in three days. Every time I invite Chun Shao, Adjutant Yu has a lot of excuses, either the clothes of the head of the Ma regiment are torn and he asks Chun Shao to sew them, or the father wants his daughter and goes to the house to get together.

Every time Chun Peony comes, he almost either accompanies Ma Zhanshan to listen to the play, or accompanies him to play cards, loses Ma Zhanshan pays, and wins with Chun Shao.

Chun Peony had never lived like this before, and gradually fell in love with this way of life. Every time I played, it was until midnight, and then, I went out for supper, accompanied by the adjutant's guards, and no matter which restaurant I went, the boss greeted me warmly. They all know Chun Shao, and they are naturally in awe of Ma Zhanshan and others.

During the lively season, the boss will come over to toast the spring peony, which adds a lot of excitement to the banquet. After the spring peony is deserted, it seems to have found its former liveliness again. However, this kind of excitement is much more comfortable than the excitement of the past.

At the beginning, she ran out for three days and two ends, and felt sorry for Mr. Song. Gradually, she felt that living a cold and dull life with Mr. Song was that Mr. Song couldn't stand her. She had a lot of resentment towards Mr. Song.

Nine

Ma Zhanshan is already forty-five years old. Ma Zhanshan, who has been a bearded man for more than ten years, wants to have a woman justifiably at the moment. Ma Zhanshan knew that when he was a beard, no woman was willing to marry him, and although he was not short of women at that time, he was forced every time. After seeing the woman in the tunzi, she tore it and rushed to the mountain, and the woman shouted to the heavens and the earth, wanting to die or live. After a long time, Ma Zhanshan felt that it was not interesting to possess such a woman. The serious woman didn't even look at him, played for two or three days, and then put the woman down the mountain. Some women wept and left, and some fierce women, on the way home, hung themselves from the branches of trees with their trouser belts. Ma Zhanshan also visited brothels, and those prostitutes were also enthusiastic and active, but they were not for him Ma Zhanshan, but for the money in his arms. For women, Ma Zhanshan has a deep understanding.

When Ma Zhanshan was a beard, Chun Shao's lips were red and his teeth were white, as well as the convex and uneven concave of his body, which had been deeply imprinted in Ma Zhanshan's mind, like a nail that was hammered in, and he couldn't pull it out if he wanted to.

He thought that he would have to put a lot of thought into Chun Shao's body, but he didn't expect that Chun Peony didn't have any more disgust with him, every time he sent the adjutant to invite Chun Shao, Chun Peony could come as promised. This is something he did not expect. He pondered Chun Peony with the heart of a man, and he also found that Chun Peony was keen on the kind of life he lived. Seeing that Chun Shao was approaching him little by little, he was not in a hurry to confess anything to Chun Shao.

The relationship between Mr. Song and Chun Shao has also undergone subtle changes. Every time Chun Shao came back in the middle of the night, Mr. Song was already asleep, and the book Mr. Song was reading slipped to the side, and the burning oil lamp was on and on. Chun Shao lay down quietly, got up and blew out the lamp, but she still couldn't sleep for a while, she was still immersed in excitement. In the past, she longed for Mr. Song's body very much, but now, for some reason, this longing is fading little by little, and finally it has turned into calm. She knew that Mr. Song was a good person, and after she poured her throat, she didn't know how her life would have been without Mr. Song. It was Mr. Song who gave her a home, and gradually, she was a little tired of Mr. Song's unstable life, she didn't think there was anything at that time, she was just bored, and she didn't know what to do. Now, Ma Zhanshan has appeared, which has once again lit up her life and made her see sunshine and hope.

It was only at this time that Chun Shao realized that the life of the troupe for more than ten years had been deeply integrated into her blood, and she had tried to forget everything in the past and start a new life. In the first days, she did, because at that time, everything was still fresh to her, and after this freshness had passed, she felt that deep uneasiness and out of place.

Mr. Song seemed to have guessed her thoughts, Mr. Song still had few words, just looked at her so melancholy, she knew what Mr. Song wanted to say. She said first: If you stay at home for a long time and are bored, you will go out to relax.

Mr. Song sighed, sighing for a long time.

Mr. Song went to teach again, and the sound of babbling reading resounded in the small courtyard.

Chun Shao sat in the house or in the small courtyard, her heart became more and more lonely, and she put down the needlework after doing it for a while. She began to lose her mind and lay restless. She was listening to her father's footsteps, and as long as her father appeared, nine times out of ten he would ask her out. So, all day long, she was looking forward to her father's footsteps.

Chun Shao's uneasiness made Mr. Song finally speak.

Mr. Song said: Chun Shao, if you don't sing now, you should live with peace of mind.

Mr. Song said again: Spring peony wow, I don't have gold and silver mountains, but I can feed you enough.

Mr. Song also said: Spring peony, what are you thinking?

Chun Shao said: Don't pay attention to me.

Chun Shao said again: I don't need you to care.

Chun Shao also said: I'm annoying, you don't care about me!

Mr. Song was silent again.

At this time, Adjutant Yu's footsteps sounded again in a hurry. Chun Shao couldn't wait to open the door and welcome her father in.

Mr. Song felt that it was Chun Shao's father who had disturbed their peaceful life, and Mr. Song had no more words to say to the adjutant, don't look away, go and look at the corner. At this moment, a spider web was hanging in the corner of the wall.

Adjutant Yu shouted and said: Chun Shao Wow, go play cards, Captain Ma is waiting for you.

Before Chun Shao could finish speaking, she began to dress up.

At this time, Adjutant Yu said to Mr. Song apologetically: Chun Shao will come back when he goes, and the head of the horse is missing one of the three cards.

Mr. Song naturally ignored the adjutant and only snorted in his nose.

When playing cards, Ma Zhanshan's leg touched Chun Shao's leg, Chun Shao first dodged, and then Ma Zhanshan touched Chun Peony again, Chun Peony no longer hidden, glanced at Ma Zhanshan with the corner of his eye, Ma Zhanshan was also looking at her with his eyes, Ma Zhanshan played as if he was nothing: Chun Shao, play cards.

Chun Shao's face turned red.

Next, Ma Zhanshan's courage became bigger, and he kept hooking Chun Shao's leg with his foot. Chun Peony didn't dodge or dodge, and there were more words.

Adjutant Yu served tea and water again and again, and he had already seen everything that happened under the table of the Eight Immortals. At this time, Adjutant Yu's heart was bright. He was indescribably happy, he had already imagined that he had become the deputy of the regiment, and Chun Shao had become Ma Zhanshan's woman, what else to say on that day.

After the game was dispersed, Ma Zhanshan said to Chun Shao: Chun Shao, I haven't listened to the play for a long time, you can sing me two sentences tonight.

Chun Shao said: Captain Ma, it's not like you don't know that my throat has fallen.

Ma Zhanshan said again: Don't be afraid, hum is okay.

The people present saw Ma Zhanshan's intentions, so they all broke up with a smile. Only Ma Zhanshan and Chun Shao were left in the house.

Chun Shao was flustered at this time, she knew what kind of medicine Ma Zhanshan was selling, but she was not disgusted, and then said with a shy face: Captain Ma, I don't know which song you want to hear?

Ma Zhanshan smiled and said: Anything is fine, as long as you sing, I love to listen to it.

Chun Shao hummed, and she didn't know what she was humming.

Ma Zhanshan came over, first grabbed one of Chun Shao's little hands, and then hugged Chun Shao's whole person.

Chun Shao said: Captain Ma, Captain Ma, this is not good. When she said this, her body did not move, but suddenly she became weak.

Ma Zhanshan panted and said: Spring peony, spring peony, you want to kill me.

Chun Shao: No, no!

Ma Zhanshan hugged the spring peony to the kang.

Chun Shao coquettishly called: Captain Ma, Captain Ma-

Afterwards, Ma Zhanshan said to Chun Shao: I want to marry you!

Chun Shao said: No, I still have Mr. Song.

Ma Zhanshan said with a heavy beard: What is he a teacher? No, Lao Tzu shot him down.

Ahh

Ten

At first, Chun Shao did not make up her mind to marry Ma Zhanshan. But she couldn't control her dealings with Ma Zhanshan no matter what, and she got a lot of things from Ma Zhanshan that Mr. Song couldn't give.

Ma Zhanshan is inseparable from Spring Peony, and Spring Peony seems to be inseparable from Ma Zhanshan. Chun Shao is not only attached to Ma Zhanshan's life, but she is also deeply fascinated by Ma Zhanshan's body. The well-informed Ma Zhanshan can always comb the spring peony happily.

Mr. Song, who was honest, had a premonition of what was happening, and when Chun Peony once again flushed and walked into the house with some shame, Mr. Song knelt in front of Chun Peony.

Mr. Song said with snot and tears: Chun Shao Wow, don't be like this, Ma Zhanshan is not a person who lives a life, he is a beard.

Spring Peony's eyes were dark. She did all this tirelessly, and she didn't want Mr. Song to know. Mr. Song is so kind to her, she knows in her heart, and she doesn't want to do anything contrary to Mr. Song from the bottom of her heart, but she can't control her actions no matter what. Unexpectedly, Mr. Song had already made her words clear, and she leaned against the door frame with a soft body. She gasped for a while, and tears flowed, and she panted and said, "I'm sorry for you."

Mr. Song said again: Chun Shao Wow, as long as you live with me in peace, let's leave Beizhen and go anywhere.

Chun Shao didn't speak, just cried, she wanted to calm her inner turmoil with crying. At this time, she hated to be divided into two halves, half to stay with Mr. Song, and half to follow Ma Zhanshan. She didn't know how to go the road ahead.

Ma Zhanshan couldn't wait, after he and Chun Shao had a few times of warmth, he was sure that Chun Shao was already his own person. What he wanted was this feeling and self-confidence, so he rode a tall horse, with more than a dozen guards behind him, and came to the Spring Peony Gate with ease.

As soon as Chun Shao heard the sound of horses' hooves, she had no strength at all, and the whole person was limply fixed there.

Ma Zhanshan walked in the door, he first glanced at Chun Shao, and with a wave of his hand, two guards came up and hugged Chun Shao. Chun Shao no longer had the strength to speak at this time.

Ma Zhanshan then walked up to Mr. Song, who was still kneeling there. Ma Zhanshan didn't take Mr. Song in his eyes at all, he said: Teaching, Chun Shao is already my person.

Mr. Song cried out sadly: Spring peony wow-

Ma Zhanshan took a bag of silver dollars from another guard and threw it loudly in front of Mr. Song. The silver dollar rolled on the ground in front of Mr. Song.

Mr. Song's eyes widened: Beard, you are a beard!

Ma Zhanshan smiled and said: Teaching, you are wrong, I am the commander of the Northeast Army.

Mr. Song said loudly: Beard, return me spring peony!

Ma Zhanshan pulled out the gun from his waist, shook it in front of Mr. Song's nose and said: Don't look for trouble, if it weren't for Chun Shao's face, I would have shot you with one shot.

After speaking, Ma Zhanshan walked out of the small courtyard, took Chun Shao, and walked towards his station with his men and horses.

Mr. Song went crazy. He tore up the robe on his body, threw the top hat on his head, and with both hands, he threw the silver dollar that Ma Zhanshan threw on the ground in the east and west.

Mr. Song shouted as he rushed out of the house. He ran all the way to Ma Zhanshan's station. Naturally, the guards did not let him in and pushed him out the door. He lay on the ground and shouted: Chun Shao, come out, come out and see me.

Ma Zhanshan's station is still singing, and the troupe is very solemnly celebrating the wedding of Ma Zhanshan and Chun Shao.

Spring peony sat in the middle of the green with red hanging greenery, she couldn't say that she was happy or unhappy. Ma Zhanshan sat next to her and hugged Chun Peony very firmly with his arm.

Ma Zhanshan said while watching the play: Chun Shao, from now on, we will be a family, eat fragrant and drink spicy, whatever you want.

Chun Shao didn't speak, and Mr. Song's shouts echoed in her ears.

Ma Zhanshan also said: If you want to watch a play, let them sing every day.

Chun Peony still didn't speak.

Ma Zhanshan glanced at Chun Shao: What's wrong, you're not happy?

Ma Zhanshan also heard Mr. Song's shouting outside the door, stopped and said: You are reluctant to teach that person, I will collapse him, so as to save you trouble.

Chun Shao suddenly screamed: Ahhh

She tugged at Ma Zhanshan's sleeve. Sitting on the side, Chun Shao's father, who was already the deputy of Yu Tuan at this time, said: If it collapses, it will collapse, and such a man still thinks about what he is doing.

Chun Shao said to Ma Zhanshan: From now on, I will be your person, but you have to promise me not to hurt Mr. Song.

Ma Zhanshan sighed, put away the gun, and said to a few guards around him: Take the teacher away.

After a while, there was no shouting from Mr. Song.

The play was sung for three days.

Lao Gui, Yakzi, Shilixiang and others all stepped down to say goodbye to Chun Shao. They said a lot of auspicious words, and the old crutch took advantage of people's inattention to Chong Chun Shao and said: Your life is good, Mr. Song is ruined.

When Chun Shao heard this, her eyes turned red, but she quickly said: It's me who can't stand him, and you can go see him when you have time in the future.

Lao Guan sighed.

Mr. Song shouted for spring peony with a thousand calls. Chun Shao has never walked out of Ma Zhanshan's courtyard since she walked in.

Mr. Song looked up to the sky and shouted: Chun Shao Wow, you are really a play, why are you so ruthless and unrighteous.

Since then, there has been one less Mr. Song and one more madman in Beizhen. Mr. Song, who was crazy, began to walk the streets and shout the name of Chun Shao.

Chun Shao started as the wife of the head of the regiment Ma Zhanshan with a new attitude. After Chun Shao and Ma Zhanshan got married, her life was significantly different from before, and she no longer had to worry about eating and dressing. Her daily life has become playing and having fun with Ma Zhanshan.

The play has to be watched, and the cards have to be played. In the middle of the night, they would also take the guards to have supper. Spring Peony lived a carefree life.

After getting on the kang, Ma Zhanshan will exert infinite strength to press the spring peony under him, and Ma Zhanshan panted and asked: Is it better for me or for him.

That "he" naturally refers to Mr. Song.

Chun Shao was already in the clouds at this time, and she said dreamily: Hello wow, good wow......

This is something she can't experience in Mr. Song.

The days of madness and joy did not last long, and the Japanese drove into the Beida camp in Mukden. As a result, the Northeast Army transferred the Ma Zhanshan regiment stationed in Beizhen to Fengtian City.

For a time, the situation in the Northeast Army was stormy. Several teams stationed outside the city were mostly recruited, and when they were incorporated by the Northeast Army, they wanted to take advantage of the light of the Northeast Army to eat and drink spicy food. Unexpectedly, the Japanese suddenly came, and a war was inevitable. As a result, the ranks became unstable, and some rolled up their sheets and ran away overnight.

Zhang Zuolin didn't want his descendants to fight such a civil war, so Ma Zhanshan's team was transferred to Fengtian City and took on the heavy task of collecting a small group of rebels.

Ma Zhanshan was ordered to enter Fengtian, and he was naturally reluctant to put the flower-like spring peony in Beizhen, so Chun Shao and Ma Zhanshan came to Fengtian.

Soon after arriving in Mukden, Ma Zhanshan's team was assigned to the front line to collect small groups of rebels.

Chun Shao was thrown into an alley in the middle street of Fengtian City.

Ma Zhanshan would retreat from the front line every once in a while, and live secretly for two or three days, and those days were joyful.

As soon as Ma Zhanshan left, her days were empty again. She often walked out of the door, leaned against the door, and looked at the empty alley, how she wished that Ma Zhanshan would return to her on a tall horse at this time. In the days when she was waiting, she would think coldly of Mr. Song in Beizhen, and at this time, her heart would be faintly painful. As soon as Mr. Song appeared in her mind, she naturally and unnaturally remembered those days with Mr. Song that were not sweet but very warm, the quiet sunshine, the clean courtyard, and the babbling sound of children reading. This illusion was quickly forgotten by her, and she was more focused on the days in front of her, looking forward to Ma Zhanshan's reappearance beside her and bringing her joy.

Eleven

Chun Shao never dreamed that she would unexpectedly meet Xie Bomin, the young owner of the Xie family's compound, in Fengtian City.

Chun Shao was helpless in Fengtian City, she was alone every day, lonely and lonely, she couldn't pass this kind of time, so she walked out of the alley alone. She was walking on the bustling middle street when she heard someone calling her, and when she looked up, she saw Xie Bomin. Xie Bomin was wearing a white suit, and his hair was combed bare.

Xie Bomin said, "Why are you here?"

Chun Shao was also surprised to see Xie Bomin in the vast sea of people. She quickly remembered that when she was sixteen years old, when she sang red in the Xie family compound, she had firmly remembered the Xie family compound and Xie Bomin from her heart.

On that day, the two reunited, and Xie Bomin invited Chun Shao to his home on Middle Street. At that time, Chun Shao learned that after the death of the old owner, Xie Bomin sold the Xie family's compound and all the land, and he opened a pharmacy in Fengtian City wholeheartedly, and now Xie Bomin has opened several large and small pharmacies in Fengtian City. Chun Shao also knew that Xie Bomin married his wife two years ago, and a year ago, his wife died of dystocia during childbirth.

Chun Shao also said a lot, saying that after her throat fell, she married Mr. Song and now Ma Zhanshan. When Chun Shao said this, Xie Bomin didn't say a word.

In the end, Xie Bomin said: You haven't changed at all, you are still the same as when you were sixteen.

The appearance of Chun Peony when he first debuted has been deeply imprinted in Xie Bomin's mind. A few years have passed, and he still often remembers the appearance of Chun Shao when he came to power in the late spring.

Xie Bomin's home is a small two-story building with many rooms, and without the hostess's home, it seems a little deserted. Chun Shao talked for a long time in Xie Bomin's small building that day, and when he finally left, Xie Bomin said: You will come to play often in the future.

Xie Bomin stood at the door, waving at the distant Chun Shao. Chun Shao walked far away, and when she turned around, she still saw the young owner Xie Bomin waving at her dazzlingly.

Ma Zhanshan can only come back every now and then. As soon as the morning dawned, Ma Zhanshan whipped his horse and left again, leaving behind a lonely spring peony.

Chun Shao, who had nothing to do, came to Xie Bomin's small building three times and two times, and it wasn't until she walked into Xie Bomin's house that she woke up. After some hesitation, she went in anyway.

Xie Bomin seems to have been waiting for a long time, and Xie Bomin is very enthusiastic every time Chun Peony appears.

Once, Chun Shao said to Xie Bomin: I haven't watched a play for a long time, and I really want to go and see it.

That day, Xie Bomin accompanied Chun Shao into a theater on Middle Street. Chun Peony watched a play in the theater for the first time in his life, and the stage was red, green and green.

The troupe seems to be a horn, taking turns to sing. The horns are all young and beautiful. Chun Shao is from a singing background, and she can hear that the people who sing opera are all trained, which is a cut higher than the level of their Beizhen opera troupe. Realizing this, Chun Shao knew that Fengtian is Fengtian.

Watching a play in the theater, there are also people who hold horns, and those who have status are very generous, sending people to hold silver dollars with plates, and sending flowers to horns. This is also something that Chun Peony has never seen before. She blushed at what she had experienced.

After the play, Xie Bomin invited Chun Shao to the teahouse, and the two chatted while drinking tea.

Chun Peony said: They sing so well.

Xie Bomin looked at Chun Peony with a pair of eyes and said: No matter how well they sing, I still love to hear you sing.

Chun Shao's face turned red when she heard this. She remembered what she had said in the Xie family's compound back then.

That day, the two sat in the teahouse until late, and Xie Bomin sent Chun Shao back. Xie Bomin kept sending Chun Shao back to his residence, and when he saw Chun Shao's residence, he said: It's hard for you to guard such a big house alone.

One sentence almost made the sensitive Chun Peony cry, but she still held back, smiled at Xie Bomin and said: All this is temporary.

Xie Bomin was stunned for a moment and said: In these years, you have been doing martial arts, haven't you thought about what he has in case he has three long and two short?

Chun Shao's tears finally flowed.

At this time, she regretted leaving Mr. Song so hastily and throwing herself into the arms of Ma Zhanshan.

After she married Ma Zhanshan, she gradually got to know Ma Zhanshan. Sometimes Ma Zhanshan's vulgarity made her unbearable, and every time she did that with her, Ma Zhanshan always asked her and Mr. Song how they felt when they did that. When she did not answer, he was displeased, saying that she still had the teacher in her heart, and when she did, he scolded her for being a broken thing that had been slept on. As he spoke, Ma Zhanshan took possession of her very rudely and powerfully. At first, she could still experience all kinds of happiness, but gradually, that happiness gradually disappeared and became a kind of torture. Every now and then, she misses the days with Mr. Song.

When she came to Fengtian City, she felt more and more lonely. She was lonely without Ma Zhanshan, and when Ma Zhanshan came back, she felt difficult again.

Every time Ma Zhanshan came back, he never asked her how she was doing, and every time he didn't say a word, he pressed her to the kang when he came up, and then he couldn't wait to pick off her clothes, and after venting, he went to sleep; when he woke up, he said something very bad to her, as if he didn't have the desire to do that with her. The life that Ma Zhanshan brought to Chun Shao in Beizhen has been blown away like a gust of wind.

At this moment, Xie Bomin appeared in her life, and she felt that life had content.

Since then, she has been going to Xie Bomin almost every day to sit down.

Sometimes Xie Bomin was very busy, buried her head and checked the accounts, and she just sat aside and waited quietly. Sometimes she stared blankly at Xie Bomin's young face, which was very vivid, different from Mr. Song, and even different from Ma Zhanshan. Ma Zhanshan, who is in his forties, is already a little old because of his excessive life.

The well-informed young owner led Chun Shao to visit several of his pharmacies. She had never seen such a large pharmacy, and she couldn't tell how much family business and wealth Xie Bomin had. Walking on the street, there were many people who greeted Shaodong, they didn't call him Shaodongjia, nor did they call him by name, they all called him Boss Xie. Xie Bomin treated these people very lightly and lukewarmly. Xie Bomin walked with his head tilted, as if the entire Fengtian City was under his eyes.

Xie Bomin's clothes are always spotless, from the top of his head to his feet. Once, Xie Bomin accompanied Chun Shao to the theater again, and she smelled a very good smell from him. She said, "What is it that smells so good?"

He said, "It's perfume."

She had never used perfume, she had never heard of it, only a sachet with a few herbs in it.

The next day, he gave her a bottle with a golden liquid. He said, "This is the perfume, a Japanese product, for you."

She felt that Xie Bomin's body was becoming more and more wonderful. There was something that was pulling her from afar, and she found that good feeling again.

At night, she often wakes up in dreams, and when she wakes up, she sees Xie Bomin's shadow in front of her. Then she couldn't sleep again.

She feels that Xie Bomin not only cares for her in life, but also knows her best. On several occasions, Xie Bomin invited the troupes from the city's opera garden to his home. Xie Shaodong's family is also a figure with a head and a face in Fengtian City, and it is not enough to worry about doing all this. He not only let the troupe sing, but also let Chun Shao dress up, Chun Shao was puzzled at first, but said: The throat is down, you don't know. Xie Bomin smiled and said: Then you will sing it in your heart.

As soon as the dressed spring peony stood there, as soon as the guy sounded, she felt that she was immediately a different person, and all kinds of scenes from the previous scenery made her unable to help herself. Although she can't sing, she can only sing for others at this time, she makes those haunting movements, and at this moment, her mind is once again united. When she sang to the emotional part, she looked at Xie Bomin sitting in front of her, and burst into tears, not knowing whether it was for herself or for others. Suddenly, she returned to the scene when she was sixteen years old in the Xie family's compound. At that moment, she clearly realized that in the future, she would not be able to leave Xie Shaodong's house no matter what.

Chun Shao half-pushed and half-married Ma Zhanshan on the spot, a large part of the reason was that Ma Zhanshan's kind of life attracted her, and then Ma Zhanshan was the person. It wasn't until Mukden that she woke up from her dream.

At this time, Ma Zhanshan was just a man in the eyes of Chun Shao, a very vulgar man. By Ma Zhanshan's side, she didn't find the feeling of the regiment leader's wife at all, as if she fell into the nest of the bearded head, and said that if she was knocked down, she would be knocked down, and there was no such affectionate caressing. At first, she felt that this kind of love was still very fresh, and gradually, she began to hate this vulgarity. Ma Zhanshan never cared about her, all he cared about was how he and her felt on the kang. At this time, she couldn't help but think of Mr. Song.

Until she reunited with the young owner Xie Bomin, she seemed to see hope again.

Once, Xie Shaodong's family was in a good mood and took her to a movie. It was the first time she had seen a movie in her life, and she had only heard of it when she was in Northtown before. It didn't matter what she saw, but it surprised her, she didn't understand that those real shadows could say and move, just like the real thing, and she was thrilled to see.

At the end of the movie, she and Xie Bomin walked out of the theater, and it was already dark. She looked at the one or two street lamps lit in front of her and said: The movie is so good.

Xie Bomin didn't say anything, and smiled knowingly.

Xie Bomin did not call a taxi that day, but walked along the middle street with her until he walked to the alley where she lived. Along the way, neither of them said anything, they just walked all the way, occasionally, their bodies touching each other, but they quickly separated. Her mood was not very calm, in the dark, she shouldered a man, step by step forward, from Xie Bomin's body emanation of the faint manliness, from time to time into her nostrils, her body has a wonderful feeling.

In the past, she blamed the road for being too long, but tonight, for some reason, she thought it was too short, as if she had inadvertently reached the end.

She stood at the door, and he stood still.

He stood there and said, "When you get home, I'll go back."

She stood there looking at him faintly, not saying a word but nodding.

He smiled at her, and when he turned around, he said, "Come back when you have time." After saying that, he left, and a white suit quickly melted into the darkness.

She let out a long sigh at his back.

When she pushed the door and entered, she saw the light on in the room where she lived, and her heart tightened, and sure enough, Ma Zhanshan had returned.

Ma Zhanshan was sitting under the lamp and drinking, with roast chicken in front of him. Ma Zhanshan saw the spring peony that walked in, and roared with a mouth full of wine: Where are you going!

She was stunned, not knowing how to answer Ma Zhanshan.

Ma Zhanshan rushed over violently, and pushed her down on the kang with just one push.

She looked at Ma Zhanshan in horror and muttered: I met a fellow from Beizhen and went to talk to him.

Ma Zhanshan smiled obscenely: It's a × sale, right?

She didn't say anything more, tears welled up all at once, and all the good feelings that had just been outside were gone in an instant.

Ma Zhanshan roared again: You **, Lao Tzu has been back for an afternoon, I can't find you anywhere, Lao Tzu is going to fight again tomorrow. After saying that, he pounced......

Chun Shao's heart was hit like never before, and her tears kept flowing.

Ma Zhanshan was very angry when he saw her tears, and while tossing on her, he slapped her with his free hand and scolded: What are you crying about, why don't you ** wow, you call wow.

Chun Shao was suffering, and she only felt complete despair. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Ma Zhanshan was really angry, he slapped her face again and again, scolding while beating: You **, you can't stand it if you don't see a man for a few days, you call it wow, why don't you call it......

Chun Shao didn't close her eyes all night, she stared at the darkness, seemed to think a lot, and didn't seem to think about anything, her mind was empty. Far away, she seemed to hear Mr. Song's shout again: Play, what a play. Ma Zhanshan's voice also sounded earth-shattering: You**,**......

Ma Zhanshan left early in the morning. Before leaving, he stood underground and said in a vicious voice: This time Lao Tzu will spare you, next time if you are not at home and honestly guard, see that Lao Tzu does not break your legs. After saying that, he left.

Chun Shao lay on the kang for a day in grief and grief, and she felt that she was about to die. She couldn't think of what the future would hold or what to do now. She felt like she had no way out. She immediately remembered Xie Bomin, and now only he could save her.

She couldn't tell where the strength came from, so she put on her clothes and walked out of the courtyard. When she appeared in front of Xie Bomin, her appearance startled Xie Shaodong's family, and he said: Chun Shao, what's wrong with you?

Chun Shao couldn't hold back any longer, she seemed to see her relatives, and suddenly threw herself into Xie Bomin's arms, and screamed mournfully: Shaodong, you want to save me!

Xie Bomin understood everything.

He sat down on the chair, looked at Chun Peony in a daze, and then said word by word: Don't go back in the future.

Chun Shao was puzzled and looked at the young owner blankly.

Xie Bomin rushed over and hugged the helpless Chun Peony at once. Xie Bomin trembled and said: Spring peony wow, the first time I saw you that year, I can't forget you.

Chun Shao never dreamed that the situation would turn out like this. She likes Xie Bomin, but she never dared to think about what she would do with the Shao Dong family. The sudden happiness almost fainted her, and she cried out desolately: God, God—

So, the two of them hugged each other.

After the two of them sobered up, they both felt that the problem was far from that simple. Chun Shao knew that Ma Zhanshan was not Mr. Song. Not to mention that Ma Zhanshan is bearded, at least he now has a team of hundreds of people, and he can do anything. She hid in Xie Bomin's place and didn't go back, sooner or later Ma Zhanshan would come to her door.

Chun Shao told Xie Bomin this idea.

Xie Bomin also realized the seriousness of the problem, he thought for a while, then patted his thigh and said: This is easy to do.

Chun Shao looked at the young owner with hope.

Xie Bomin said: Let's give him a "Gu".

Chun Shao knew what "Gu" was, which was a medicine that killed people. I didn't eat anything at the time, and after a few days, I would die unconsciously.

Xie Bomin said: "I have this medicine in my pharmacy.

Chun Shao felt that there was no way out, and she could only do this if she wanted to get rid of Ma Zhanshan and go to a new life. So the two agreed, Xie Bomin prepared the medicine, and Chun Shao was responsible for letting Ma Zhanshan eat the medicine, and the future would be over.

One of Chun Shao's hearts was put in her stomach. For the sake of the young owner in front of her, for herself, she can do anything now.

The two lingered affectionately in every way, and Xie Bomin reluctantly sent the spring peony back.

During this period, Chun Shao looked for Xie Bomin several times, and after the two fell in love, they lay on the bed and thought about the future. Xie Bomin hugged Chun Shao's body tightly, and said: Chun Shao, if I marry you in the future, let's have a child.

One sentence made Chun Shao cry again, how good the Shaodong family around her was, the Shaodong family was able to marry her, which was a blessing she had cultivated in her previous life.

So, Chun Shao looked forward to the stars and the moon and looked forward to Ma Zhanshan's early return, she had never looked forward to Ma Zhanshan so much before.

She didn't wait for Ma Zhanshan, but waited for her father, who was covered in blood, Deputy Yu Tuan.

As soon as the father entered the door, he said: Oh no, Ma Zhanshan is dead.

Ma Zhanshan was hit by a stray bullet during the war, and he never came back.

When Chun Shao heard the news, her body went limp, and the "medicine" she was carrying in her arms fell to the ground.

Chun Peony justifiably started another round of her happy life.

A baker's dozen

On the day Xie Bomin and Chun Shao got married, Xie Bomin took Chun Shao to the photo studio to take a photo, which was a group photo of the two. This is the first time Chun Peony has been photographed.

A few days later, the photos came back. Chun Shao looked at the magical piece of paper with herself and Xie Bomin printed on it. Xie Bomin smiled, Chun Shao was naturally sweet, her eyes looked ahead with novelty, she seemed to see her happy future.

She and Xie Bomin's real wedding days began.

She made up her mind and lived with Xie Bomin with all her heart. At night, she lay sweetly beside Xie Bomin. Listening to Xie Bomin's breathing as he fell asleep, she thought of Mr. Song, she thought of Ma Zhanshan, and she felt her blush and heartbeat for all the ridiculous behaviors in the past. She didn't feel that she couldn't live with Ma Zhanshan at all, she followed Ma Zhanshan just for a while, and she faintly felt that she couldn't stand Mr. Song. But after thinking about it, she also thought about it, she still has to face the reality and the future, and at this time, fate has given her Xie Bomin again. The days in front of her are carefree, she doesn't ask for anything anymore, she wants to live the current rich life with Xie Bomin.

In the days to come, Spring Peony has the feeling of being reborn once. When he is fine, Xie Bomin always takes Spring Peony in and out of the theater, and watching a play here is very different from watching a play in Beizhen, and the atmosphere is incomparable to the streets and alleys of Beizhen. Xie Bomin not only watched the play, but also talked about the play with Chun Shao. The young owner has his own understanding of life in the play, and he told Chun Shao about this understanding. Although Chun Peony is from the background of singing, she does not understand some dramas deeply, after Xie Bomin said this, she was enlightened all of a sudden, and she had a deeper understanding of the opera, and at the same time, she was impressed by the young owner.

Xie Bomin reminded her of Mr. Song and Ma Zhanshan. Mr. Song can listen to operas and write operas, and Ma Zhanshan can also listen to operas, but compared with Xie Bomin, they are very different. Shaodongjia saw life from the play, saw herself, and saw Chun Shao, she felt that Xie Bomin had become one with Shaodongjia when she said the play.

That day, she said to Xie Bomin: Let's have a baby.

Soon, Chun Peony found out that she was really pregnant. She was a little surprised that she could get pregnant soon, she and Mr. Song were not pregnant, she had told Mr. Song about having a child, and Mr. Song happily agreed, but she was not pregnant. And Ma Zhanshan is not pregnant. She felt very strange why the two men in front of her failed to get her pregnant, and Xie Bomin was miraculously pregnant in such a short period of time, she felt that all this was providence.

Soon, the child was born.

As the child fell to the ground, the famous "September 18" incident broke out, first the Northeast Army evacuated Mukden, all the way to Guannei, and soon, the Japanese occupied Mukden.

Then the entire city of Mukden was in chaos.

Xie Bomin's pharmacy business also began to slump, and the Shao Dong family made a painful decision to close several pharmacies. The few remaining pharmacies can barely maintain their expenses.

There was chaos outside, and Xie Bomin rarely ran outside. In the morning, after visiting several pharmacies near Middle Street, he went straight home. So, he closed the door and accompanied Chun Shao and his son.

They named the child Xie Feng.

When the outside world was in turmoil, they closed the door and lived a life of savoring drama and literature. Although the business is not good, Xie Bomin's savings for so many years are enough for them to live for a while. While they are raising children, they enjoy their different lives. The theater garden was closed, and they couldn't go to the theater anymore, so the young owner at home dressed up the spring peony, and let the dressed spring peony show off its figure, and there was a gramophone next to them, and the spring peony couldn't sing, but the gramophone could sing. So, they found their feelings again. Chun Shao felt that at this moment, it was not the gramophone singing, but the sincerity of singing. Xie Bomin squinted his eyes, he was admiring everything in front of him and in his ears. Although Chun Peony has given birth to children, the Chun Peony in front of her is still the same as when she was sixteen years old, convex and concave, a cloud hand, and a charming eye, all of which have made the Shaodong family return to the past. In this situation, Chun Shao has become a person in the play, and the young owner is a person who is fascinated by the play. So, the days are the days. Chun Shao sometimes thinks of the troupe in Beizhen, what is going on with them now, but soon forgets that she has nothing to complain about the life in front of her, she sees herself in the eyes of the Shaodong family.

All the grievances outside the window seemed to have nothing to do with them, and they closed the door, enjoying the peace and family fun.

The child is babbling and learning.

The child staggered again.

The child will run away.

......

Xie Bomin likes Xie Feng very much, he will spend most of the day playing with the child, they play hide and seek upstairs and downstairs, the child is very happy, Xie Bomin is also very happy.

Chun Shao always smiles comfortably when she sees her son and husband playing together so carefree.

Sometimes, she also feels quite lonely, she wants to watch a play, or watch a movie, but most of the theaters and theaters outside are closed, and there is no place to go. She just thought about it and quickly forgot about it. She is content with the life in front of her.

She learned to iron her husband's clothes, and as she watched him wear the clothes she had ironed with her own hands, her heart was more ironing than her husband's clothes.

She felt that the days in front of her were the days.

Flash, flash, my son was eight years old.

My son has already started school.

At this time, Chun Peony has learned to wait. She waited every day for her husband and her son, who was out of school, and she leaned against the door, waiting became a part of her life.

Suddenly, one day, my son ran back with a cry. He shouted as he ran: Mom, Mom, the People's Liberation Army has entered the city, entered the city. One of his little faces flushed with excitement and excitement.

Chun Shao walked out of the house, and sure enough, he saw a team of people walking into the city, and the crowds of people on both sides of the road.

Chun Peony didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for the People's Liberation Army to enter the city. And then things changed.

After Xie Bomin returned home, he sighed and said: I'm afraid the pharmacy can't be saved.

Soon, Xie Bomin said again: There will be no pharmacy in our house in the future.

Chun Shao asked puzzledly: What's wrong?

Xie Bomin said calmly: It's time to hand over the public.

So, everything was handed over.

In those days, Xie Bomin went out every day. Another day, Xie Bomin came back to Chong Chunshao and said: I'm afraid that there is nothing in the city, and I don't want to stay in the city anymore.

Chun Shao looked at her husband blankly.

Xie Bomin said: Let's go back to Beizhen.

Chun Shao can't control the life in front of her, and Xie Bomin has been in charge for so many years. Xie Bomin said that when she returned to Beizhen, she could only go back to Beizhen.

At this time, Chun Shao remembered the troupe in Beizhen again.

So, the family of three returned to North Town.

fourteen

Naturally, North Town has also undergone drastic changes.

The troupe in Beizhen has also disappeared, and the yak has long been on good terms with Shilixiang. Back then, in the Xie family's compound, the child who gave birth to Shilixiang was a yak. They hid it for so many years, and it wasn't until the troupe disbanded that they revealed the secrets of the past.

Chun Shao remembered that back then, when she had not yet become a horn, she had a crush on Yakzi for many years, and at that time, Yakzi's every move touched her heart. Unexpectedly, when she was secretly in love with Yakzi, Yakzi had already gotten along with Shilixiang. Thinking of this at this time, she felt that she was so stupid back then.

After returning to Beizhen, Xie Bomin became a teacher.

Xie Bomin took off his suit and changed into a tunic suit.

Chun Shao had not yet found a suitable job, and at that time, women in small places rarely went out to work. So, Chun Peony could only wait at home.

Early every morning, her husband goes to teach, and her son Xie Feng goes to school, leaving only Chun Shao at home.

Sometimes she also walks around the streets, and many locals still recognize her and greet her warmly. Everything in Northtown was so familiar to her. Once, as she walked, she came to the courtyard where she lived with Mr. Song back then, and the courtyard at this time was already a matter of things. She walked there, her heart fluttered, and finally she turned her head and walked away quickly.

Later, she heard that not long after she and Ma Zhanshan left, Mr. Song also disappeared in Beizhen, and Mr. Song, who disappeared, never returned.

At this time, Mr. Song's shout echoed in her ears: Spring peony, my spring peony-

She looked up at the sky in Northtown, and the sky was still the same as before. The past was like a world away, she felt that she had a dream, and when she woke up, everything was as before.

After returning to Beizhen, more often, she thought of the past, the things of the past, like a movie, flashed in front of her eyes one by one. What she thinks of more is naturally those days in the troupe, and everything in the past is emerging in front of her eyes one by one.

Now Yakzi and Shilixiang live in an alley not far from her home, and Yakzi, who no longer sings, has become a salesperson in a store, and he goes out early and returns late every day.

When she came to the house of Muzi and Shilixiang, she saw that the actors in the troupe were still there, but they were covered with a layer of dust. The three of them got together, and the topic was naturally inseparable from the troupe, and the yakzi was still the same as before, and they naturally mentioned the various situations when the yakzi and Chun Shao sang each other. For some reason, the face of these spring peonies turned red. A few people said that they were excited, and the yak suggested singing a part, but he hadn't sung for a long time, and his whole body was itchy. So, Yakzi and Shilixiang sang, although they were not on the stage, but their gestures were still so tasteful. Chun Shao sat on the side and watched, and she suddenly thought: What would happen if it wasn't Shili Xiang standing next to Yazi at this time, but herself? After she came to her senses, she was startled by her own thoughts.

Since then, whenever she has time, she runs to the yak's house. Even if she only heard the yak hum a few words, her heart was fine.

Her husband Xie Bomin went out early and returned late as usual, and every time her husband came back, he would talk to her about the school for a long time. At first, she felt fresh, but gradually, she got a little tired of it, and when her husband said again, she interrupted Xie Bomin's words angrily and said: Can you say something else?

Xie Bomin couldn't say anything else, so he was silent.

At this time, she wanted to see the yak more and more, and only when she saw the yakzi did she have a lot to say.

Every evening, the husband and children returned. At this time, she had already prepared the meal, and she estimated that it was time for the yakzi to get off work, so she carefully cleaned herself, combed her hair, changed her clothes, and then said to her husband and son: I will go out for a while.

She hurried out of the house, as if she had heard the yakzi singing the song "The Great West Chamber" in a straight voice. Once again, she walked towards the yakzi's house without hesitation.
