The streets of Ansi Road are already bustling, and the customs club is even more lively. People talked loudly, and the content of the conversation ranged from Japan's war of aggression, to customs and tariff policies, to daily life and work trivialities.

Walking into the club side by side, Zhao Tianqing looked around. Finally, some distance away, he saw the little girl he wanted to see.

Lu Xiang was wearing a cheongsam with a waist, the hem of the cheongsam was just above the knees, and the two calves exposed were very thin and white, with smooth and beautiful lines. At this time, she was slightly lowering her eyes, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

She was standing next to the snooker table and was talking to a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man is Lao Xu, who teaches tariffs at the Shanghai Taxation College.

Ye Weizhou opened his mouth and asked, "Zhao Tianqing, I saw Xu Jiaoxi, is the little girl next to me Miss Lu?"

Zhao Tianqing responded: "Yes." ”

Ye Weizhou nodded: "She looks very well-behaved." ”

After talking, both of them saw that a young man finished playing a ball, put down the pole, and walked to Lu Xiang's side. He reached out and rubbed it on the top of Lu Xiang's head, and said something to her.

Lu Xiang was originally very aggrieved, and his eyes were red, but when he heard his words, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Ye Weizhou glanced at Zhao Tianqing with a very complicated expression, and in the midst of the complexity, he also brought three points of sympathy.

Zhao Tianqing hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong! That's not her boyfriend! Not even her husband! I'm not the kind of person who snatches love with a knife! That's her brother!"

"Brother?"

"It's my brother, my name is Lu Shiyi," Zhao Tianqing said, "He is taking care of the current Lu Brothers Textile Factory." ”

Hearing him mention the Lu Brothers Textile Factory, Ye Weizhou frowned very lightly.

At this time, Lao Xu over there happened to turn away. He saw Ye Weizhou at a glance.

Lao Xu immediately shouted at her: "Weizhou!"

Ye Weizhou looked over and smiled politely: "Xu Jiaoxi." ”

Lao Xu strode towards her, and said as he walked: "I heard that after you graduated, you worked in Jianghai Customs as a tax officer. But I've been to the club many times, and this is the first time I've seen you here......"

Ye Weizhou said honestly: "My father doesn't come to the club very often, so I don't come often. ”

"I see," Lao Xu was so excited that his face turned red because he saw his proud protégé, "By the way, Weizhou, I have to take you to meet someone today." She often said that she didn't know what kind of person Ye Weizhou was, and she didn't know if she could meet her. ”

Ye Weizhou smiled: "It must be Xu Jiaoxi who praised me." ”

"I never praise people, I have always had one thing to say, two to say two!"

After a pause, Lao Xu saw Zhao Tianqing next to him consciously.

However, it is obvious that Lao Xu's attitude towards him is far inferior to that of Ye Weizhou: "You are here too?"

Zhao Tianqing responded: "It's here." ”

Lao Xu didn't say anything more, and turned to Ye Weizhou again: "Let's go!" ”

When Lao Xu came over to this side, Lu Xiang had also looked over. She looked a little nervous. Lu Shiyi held the club, looked at Ye Weizhou and Zhao Tianqing, and then at his sister, and probably understood something.

When Ye Weizhou and Zhao Tianqing walked in front of them, Lu Shiyi took the lead in showing a gentle and easy-going smile on his face, stretched out his hand to Zhao Tianqing, and shook hands with him.

Zhao Tianqing hadn't fully reacted yet.

Ye Weizhou, who caught a glimpse of such an action in the corner of her eye next to her, understood a little, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and was very happy for Zhao Tianqing in her heart.

Lao Xu was in charge of introducing: "Xiangxiang, this is Ye Weizhou that I have told you many times. She was at the top of her class in exams at that time!"

Lu Xiang looked at Ye Weizhou's eyes full of admiration.

Lao Xu continued: "In the past, Xiangxiang liked her aunt very much, Weizhou, you are the second person Xiangxiang respects after her aunt. Even if it's me, my uncle, can't get into the eyes of this little girl at all. ”

Lu Shiyi on the side said with a smile: "Uncle, my aunt took out so much money a year to donate to the Anti-Japanese War, and also helped the poor, my sister saw it in her eyes, and we naturally couldn't compare." ”

Lao Xu nodded: "Yes, yes." ”

Lu Xiang had been quietly looking at Ye Weizhou, and when he heard this, he opened his mouth very lightly: "Auntie, she knows a lot of things, and she is very gentle. ”

Lu Shiyi suddenly thought of something, and beckoned someone to come over: "Go, get some food and drink for Mr. Zhao and Miss Ye, and I will treat you today......"

Listening to what they said, Ye Weizhou always had a polite smile on her face, but her heart was not so calm.

Her mind replayed the conversation she had with her grandfather, Ye Xiaozong, at that time, she coldly and deliberately said to her grandfather, "Miss Lu has also passed away", "In March of this year, she had lung disease", "The newspaper said that the Lu Brothers textile factory will soon close down." They don't run it well."

Ye Weizhou was ashamed.

After chatting for a while, the subordinates of the Lu family came in to convey the meaning of the old lady to Lu Shiyi, saying that it was time for dinner and told them to go home quickly.

Lu Shiyi got up to arrange, called a car to send Zhao Tianqing and Lao Xu back, and turned to Ye Weizhou: "Miss Ye, our two families are very close, why don't you go with us?"

Ye Weizhou did not refuse.

According to Lu Shiyi's arrangement, Ye Weizhou and Lu Xiang sat in the back seat of the car together.

The little girl was a little restrained, and she was secretly looking at Ye Weizhou the whole time. Ye Weizhou's heart was soft, and after the vehicle started, he asked her softly, "Which course do you prefer?"

Lu Xiang was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and after a long while, he slowly replied, "Yes...... Tariffology. ”

After a pause, Lu Xiang continued: "Because I hope that our country's tariffs can be set by our country itself, instead of only listening to other countries. ”

Ye Weizhou nodded: "We all hope so." ”

Lu Xiang lowered his eyes and weakly held back a sentence for a while: "But my uncle told me just now that a woman's ability is very limited. ”

"He's worried about you, because he's your uncle, and now the situation is unstable and dangerous," Ye Weizhou looked at her, "You know, Xu Jiaoxi didn't say that to me in the past." ”

Lu Xiang raised his eyes and looked over.

Ye Weizhou said: "In the past, he often told us that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, not only the husband, but also the woman, and the female student is even more responsible. It may be true that women's abilities are limited, but there are more people who contribute to these meager abilities, and there will be big movements. Isn't it?"

Lu Xiang's eyes finally brightened slowly.

Arriving at the door of Ye's house, Lu Shiyi personally got out of the car to open the door for Ye Weizhou.

After Ye Weizhou got out of the car, he heard him say in a low voice: "Thank you, Miss Ye." ”

Ye Weizhou was stunned for a moment.

Lu Shiyi continued: "When I was in the club, what my uncle said was very damaging to Xiangxiang. Even when I joked about her, she didn't really get happy. But Miss Ye's words are very different. ”

Ye Weizhou naturally looked at the little girl sitting upright in the back seat of the car.

Lu Shiyi was also looking at his sister: "Xiangxiang really admires Miss Ye." ”

Ye Weizhou moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he still didn't say anything.

Lu Xiang felt his gaze and looked up. With a bright smile, she waved her hand to Ye Weizhou.

Ye Weizhou also smiled and waved his hand.

It wasn't until she entered the gate of the Ye family that Lu Shiyi sat back in the car.

The smile on Lu Xiang's face hadn't dissipated yet, and Lu Shiyi couldn't help but say, "Do you really like this Miss Ye so much?"

Lu Xiang nodded.

Because the owner's family has always had a gentle personality and no shelves, the driver next to him couldn't help but quip: "Miss Ye and Mr. are about the same age, Mr. should have married Miss Ye in the first place." Miss Ye is so good!"

Lu Shiyi, who has always been humble, frowned after hearing this, and reprimanded sharply: "This kind of thing, you can't say it in the future." ”

The driver had never seen Lu Shiyi, who had never seen this kind of appearance, so he was startled and hurriedly closed his mouth.

There was a deathly silence in the car, and a layer of sweat broke out of the driver's palms.

He remembered afterwards that Mrs. Lu had an ordinary appearance and an ordinary background, but she and Lu Shiyi were as deep as the sea. Lu Shiyi dislikes people talking about his wife the most in his life.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Shiyi, whose face was becoming darker and more terrifying, and the driver thought that his end had come......

At this time, Lu Xiang, who was in the back seat, snorted lightly: "Brother is not worthy of Miss Ye." ”

Lu Shiyi's tense expression suddenly eased and smiled.

The driver next to him slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xiang said again: "Don't you want to go back? I'm hungry." ”

The driver laughed busily and carefully drove the car back to the courtyard of the Lu family.

Lu Shiyi spoke: "Didn't you eat a lot of things in the club, why are you hungry again?"

Lu Xiang pouted: "There was Miss Ye here at the time, I didn't dare to eat more......

Lu Shiyi couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, the other side. Since Lao Xu planned to go to Xinzha Road to meet a friend, he walked with Zhao Tianqing. The two of them sat in the back of the vehicle, silent the whole time, and the atmosphere was awkward.

The vehicle arrived at Zhao's house first.

Zhao Tianqing was a little nervous in the face of Lao Xu, as soon as he got home, he was about to get out of the car in a hurry, but he had just taken two steps, and suddenly heard Lao Xu's voice behind him: "Zhao Tianqing, stop." ”

Zhao Tianqing was startled, had to stop, looked back a little nervously, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and shouted respectfully: "Xu Jiaoxi." ”

Lao Xu stared at Zhao Tianqing for a long time with a solemn expression.

Zhao Tianqing was stared at by him, and he almost knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Finally, before he knelt down, Lao Xu cleared his throat and spoke: "The new home is quite majestic, go back." ”

Zhao Tianqing was stunned, and he couldn't react for a while.

When he reacted and looked closely, he only saw the back of the vehicle carrying Lao Xu away.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Tianqing had just changed his shoes, and he heard Zhao Ronghe greet him: "I thought you weren't going to come back today, wash your hands and go to dinner......

Zhao Tianqing was actually not hungry, he ate a lot in the club. However, maybe because he saw the little girl he liked, he was in a good mood and didn't plan to refute his sister.

He obediently washed his hands and went to the table.

Liang Pingzhang sat at the table reading the newspaper, wearing glasses and a serious face.

Zhao Tianqing looked at him a few more times, but didn't dare to ask what happened. His brother-in-law is usually easy-going, but he is also very scary when he starts his temper.

But Zhao Ronghe is not afraid. After serving the last dish of duck soup, she asked Liang Pingzhang: "What's the matter?

Hearing this, Liang Pingzhang just put down the newspaper and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows: "It's nothing." ”

"Eat dinner first and wait until you want to talk. As she spoke, she picked up Liang Pingzhang's newspaper and threw it directly into the paper basket.

Zhao Tianqing's gaze drifted over, stopped for a while, and quickly floated back again.

He vaguely seemed to have seen the word "textile" in the newspaper, but he didn't read it very closely. Zhao Tianqing, who has never liked reading books and newspapers, shrugged his shoulders and concentrated on eating his dinner.
