Chapter 5 Prejudice
Because of such an article, Ye Weizhou pinched the newspaper later, and his mood was always a little depressed. After dinner, Ye Shenxing and Ye Xiaozong, father and son, would kill a few games of chess in the patio according to the custom.
While they were playing, Ye Weizhou sat on a small stool next to him and continued to read the newspaper. Ye Xiaozong fell for a moment, and asked without looking back: "Weizhou, is there anything new recently?" Ye Weizhou shook his head: "Nothing new." Ye Xiaozong asked again: "Seeing that you didn't talk much when you came back tonight, but what grievances did you suffer at the customs?" Without waiting for Ye Weizhou to answer, Ye Xiaozong looked back at her and said seriously: "I have said many times that you are a woman, so you don't have to show your face outside." Like your grandmother, she has always lived well at home with her husband and children. Hearing him say this, Ye Weizhou's heart was very uncomfortable.
She pouted, "Grandmother has died. Ye Shenxing over there hurriedly coughed lightly. Ye Xiaozong turned around and asked him, "Throat is uncomfortable?" Ye Shenxing shook his head and pointed to the chessboard: "Father, it's your turn." Ye Xiaozong began to check the situation, and did not forget to count after falling: "In the end, you refuse to listen to me." It's okay to stay abroad, but to marry a wife and have children abroad. Do you know that this is a great rebellion? The young lady of the Lu family brothers textile factory I found for you is well-read and gentle...... Ye Weizhou frowned: "Grandfather, the young lady of the Lu family has also passed away." Ye Xiaozong looked at her.
After saying these words, Ye Weizhou's mood was much better. She didn't stop, only continued to add: "Just in March of this year, I got lung disease. Ye Xiaozong frowned, and Ye Shenxing over there coughed even more.
Ye Xiaozong glared at him, and his tone was not good: "Could it be that you also have lung disease?" Ye Shenxing hurriedly showed weakness to his father, and Ye Xiaozong said: "Although Miss Lu is dead, the Lu family is still a big family. The Lu family brothers textile factory is well-known in the whole of Shanghai......" Guided by strange emotions, Ye Weizhou opened his mouth again like a ghost: "Grandfather, the newspaper said that the Lu brothers textile factory will soon go out of business. They don't run well. Ye Xiaozong's face was a little ugly.
This time, Ye Shenxing stopped coughing, but directly called her name: "Weizhou!" Ye Weizhou looked over, and at the extremely serious expression on Ye Shenxing's face, her heart trembled, and she closed her mouth instantly.
Ye Shenxing said softly: "Father, the child is not sensible and can't speak, so don't worry about her." Let's move on to chess. Ye Xiaozong snorted coldly: "It's your foreign daughter-in-law who teaches well." After that, he didn't say anything more, and immediately got up and left.
As for this game of chess, it is natural that it will not continue to be played. After Ye Xiaozong left, Tianjing remained silent for a while.
Ye Shenxing raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, sighed very lightly, and looked at the culprit: "What did you say just now?" Ye Weizhou lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Her fingers rolled up the corners of the newspaper and unfolded them again. Ye Shenxing said: "You grew up abroad, and you were exposed to the idea of free love, which is naturally different from your grandfather's concept of arranged marriage. About what you think that's civilization. But you also think about it, did you make your grandfather angry with those words just now, is it still what a civilized person should do?" Ye Weizhou still didn't say anything.
Ye Shenxing got up from the table: "Your grandfather is an old antique, that is because of the influence he has received since childhood. At the same time, he also benefited from those ideas and cultures. You must know that your grandfather was also a famous person in Shanghai back then, and even if he was a civilized person, he had to ask your grandfather no shame. Ye Weizhou was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Shenxing.
But he had gone into the house with his hands behind his back. ——Counting the days, it has been more than two months since Ryosuke Tanaka arrived at Jianghaiguan.
He made fewer and fewer mistakes in filling out the form, and he did things faster and faster. Ye Weizhou was very happy for him.
In addition, Ryosuke Tanaka sometimes brings snacks and snacks to her. Chocolate, crab roe baked cakes, spiced dried tofu, all kinds of sugars, Ye Weizhou was embarrassed to refuse at first, but the later she came, the more generous she became.
There is even some kind of tacit understanding between the two people, every morning, when the two meet, Ye Weizhou will ask, "What is today?" Tanaka Ryosuke smiled mysteriously, either from his pocket or from behind his back to hand her snacks.
Then, he quietly watched Ye Weizhou unwrap the wrapping paper with joy on the side, and ate with a satisfied face.
In October, Ryo Tanaka brought sugar fried chestnuts to Ye Weizhou for the first time. When he took the chestnut, Ye Weizhou was very surprised.
This surprise is greater than in many other times. Ryosuke Tanaka noticed it and immediately asked her, "Does Miss Ye like chestnuts very much?" Ye Weizhou nodded: "My favorite food is chestnuts." Thank you. Ryosuke Tanaka smiled: "It's good if Miss Ye likes it." After eating a chestnut, Ye Weizhou couldn't help but sigh: "It's so sweet!" After eating several chestnuts in a row, she remembered something, took a few and handed them to Ryosuke Tanaka.
Ye Weizhou asked, "Where did you buy this?" Ryosuke Tanaka said: "There is a fried goods shop nearby, the name is in Chinese, I can't understand it." After a pause, he added: "But come to think of it, Shanghai's sugar-fried chestnuts are delicious, no matter what kind of storefront." Ye Weizhou wrote it down thoughtfully, and before getting off work, he took the lead in going to the inspection and estimation department.
Zhao Tianqing was on an errand in the inspection and estimation department, and Ye Weizhou went to find him, hoping to walk with Zhao Tianqing for a while after work.
She was going to buy chestnuts to eat, buy some for herself, and buy some for Zhao Tianqing to bring back to Zhao Lotus Lotus.
Zhao Lotus is the same as Ye Weizhou, he likes to eat chestnuts very much. It's just that when he arrived at the inspection and estimation department, Ye Weizhou learned that Zhao Tianqing, this kid, had taken leave again and went out to participate in some messy meeting.
Even the people in the laboratory and estimation department can't tell what it is.
"It seems to be against the autonomy of the Northeast," a staff member of the inspection and estimation department looked at Ye Weizhou with a smile,
"That kid is a progressive, a patriot. ”
"Where is he just patriotic, this whole Jianghai customs ...... Oh no, the whole Shanghai girl, he loves. Someone teased.
"Hahaha......" From these words, Ye Weizhou heard some malice. She didn't want to stay any longer, and turned away to leave.
The smiling clerk got up from his chair and stopped her: "Hey, are you from the tax collection department, what is your name...... Ye Weizhou?" Ye Weizhou stopped and looked over: "It's me." Is there something wrong?" the staff is tall and athletic.
He looked at Ye Weizhou condescendingly: "I heard that you are close to a Japanese." "Japanese, that's about Ryosuke Tanaka?
Ye Weizhou didn't intend to deny it, so he had a cold face,
"Hmm". Another person next to him said: "It's not just getting close! I heard that the Japanese man often brought her food, and I don't know what the relationship between the two is." The clerk sneered: "The Japanese have occupied our territory in the northeast, and you are still close to the Japanese? Eat what he sent? Are you really Chinese?" A man wearing a watermelon skin hat stepped forward: "Xiao Li, don't you know? This Ye Weizhou has a foreign mother, so, he is also considered Chinese?" The clerk folded his hands in front of his chest: "Oh, so that's the case." No wonder. He looked at Ye Weizhou with even more disdain: "This Zhao Tianqing is really blind, and he can be friends with someone like you!" Ye Weizhou frowned, not planning to stay here, and quickly turned around.
When she went out, she happened to bump into a group of people walking towards her, and the middle-aged man in the lead looked quite old.
And beside him, there was also a woman with beautiful hair in a bun. As he passed by, Ye Weizhou glanced at the woman.
I don't know why, Ye Weizhou felt that this woman's facial features felt a little familiar. Walking down the stairs, Ye Weizhou heard people shouting behind him: "Mr. Teraoka." She always felt as if she had heard it before, but she couldn't remember it clearly.
She shook her head, not forcing herself to think. After getting off work, Ye Weizhou went to the personnel department and told Ye Shenxing that he planned to go home alone.
Ye Shenxing agreed. Staggered the crowd, Ye Weizhou went out of the Jianghai Customs Building. There were two rickshaws parked outside the door, and the sky was still bright.
Two slightly drunk sailors sat on a rickshaw, looking arrogant and domineering. Ye Weizhou saw that one of the sailors raised his leg and kicked hard at the butt of the cart in front of him.
The puller of the cart fell, and the god who was stunned for a while finally reacted in the laughter of the sailors.
His eyes were wooden, but there was still a three-point smile on his face, and he also laughed. Ye Weizhou closed his eyes and stepped up.
After walking not far, Ye Weizhou was hooked by a fragrance. It's a food store with a hanging door
The signboard of the "Husband and Wife Food Store" basically sells fried goods, and there are fried chestnuts with sugar. Ye Weizhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stopped in front of the store, very excited.
"Would you like a catty, little girl?" the shopkeeper asked Ye Weizhou with a smile. Ye Weizhou really wants to.
didn't wait for her to speak, the shopkeeper tempted her again, and said, "It's very cheap, let's get a catty!" Ye Weizhou couldn't refuse at all.
She reached for her handbag and said to the shopkeeper, "Two catties." After a pause, she added very honestly: "I don't have enough to eat for a catty." "Today, although the chestnuts that Ryosuke Tanaka brought to her were very fragrant, it was a pity that it was only one catty, and she was not full.
She bought it herself, and of course she wouldn't make that mistake. But it was also at this moment that she heard a chuckle behind her.
Ye Weizhou intuitively thought that this laughter was aimed at her and was laughing at her. Because she can't eat enough for a pound of chestnuts.
Therefore, she was a little angry. She was going to turn her head to see who was so rude. However, when she could see the man in the suit behind her, the anger in her heart unexpectedly dissipated.
After seeing him, she should be even more angry. The tall and straight Zhong An Shi Shiran was standing, looking at her, with a smile in his voice: "Miss Ye, meet again." Ye Weizhou sullenly
"Hmm", the only thought at the time was: to leave.
