[Chapter 26 61 The Stone of the Wind and Clouds]

Cheng Jingyi can see Suixin at home every weekend, or two weeks later. Perhaps because of Tao Xiang's decision and persuasion, Mrs. Tao really did not stop her. She always called Mrs. Tao in advance to answer her heart, and Mrs. Tao was also much more polite in the phone. Jingyi knew that as before, this majestic and tough lady would still give in to her in some things for the sake of her son.

During this time, she was busy with Tzu Chi's affairs and had a lot of social activities to participate in. Fortunately, she also has her cousin and two cousins to help, and they will specially pick Suixin out of the Tao family, so that she can get along with Suixin even if she takes advantage of a meal.

Jingyi thought that although Suixin was at peace with this, she would definitely be dissatisfied with her. I don't want to have a day, she and Suixin had dinner in the Confucian Mansion, and on the way back to send Suixin, Suixin, who always didn't talk much to her, suddenly asked her: "Is the female doctor mentioned in Ta Kung Pao today really you?" Da"

"I haven't had time to read the newspaper today, what are you talking about?" Jingyi looked at Suixin's serious appearance and asked her. Although she didn't read the newspaper, she had already obtained the interview script of "Ta Kung Pao" through Xiaomei and checked it herself, so she naturally understood the content very clearly. But she wondered what Suixin had read about her in the newspapers.

"It's nothing." Then he said lightly.

Jingyi smiled.

She also pretended not to care, and only secretly observed Suixin—this child had always behaved like this since she was a baby, and she could not help but look like her father......

After a while, he said: "The newspaper said that after you came to Shanghai, you have had several surgeries and saved several dolls and their mothers......

"Well, one of the mothers had three dolls in her belly, and they all survived. Among the three dolls, there is a male doll and two female dolls. Ah, that girl doll is as cute as a foreign girl. I also hugged her and took a picture...... I'll go back and show you. Jingyi said with a smile.

"Three dolls!" Sui Xin's eyes widened in surprise.

Jingyi nodded heavily.

"Mom, you're amazing!" Then he blurted out.

The car passed a hurdle at this time, and with a bang, Jingyi and Suixin were upside down from the back seat, and the top of Jingyi's head was still hitting the roof of the car. She groaned and pressed on top of her head.

"Sorry, I didn't see that obstacle." Xiaomei hurriedly explained.

Jingyi smiled and said it didn't matter.

But this hit really hurt, and she really couldn't hold back her tears.

Sui Xin looked at Jingyi, sighed, stretched out his little hand, touched the top of her head, and said, "No wonder, Dad will say that he wants me to take care of you." You're really confused, and it's easy to fall here and there for no apparent reason...... I originally thought that Aunt Xiaomei was okay, and it was always okay to have her by her mother's side, right? Today it seems that this is no more than that. ”

"Miss Tao Suixin, what do you mean by Aunt Xiaomei?" Xiaomei asked with a smile.

Ignoring her, he frowned and asked, "I have a question, Mom." How did the little doll come about? ”

"Why do you remember to ask this?" Jing Yi asked rhetorically.

"I can't figure out why a man and a woman should get married if there is a little doll. I used to ask my grandmother, why did my father get married? What's so good about marrying Mith Sue back? My grandmother asked me if I wanted a brother or sister. If you want, your father is going to get married...... I told my dad the other day that he didn't need to marry Missusu, and that he would just have a younger brother or sister for me. He said that he couldn't give birth himself, and that he had to be together with a man and a woman. I asked him why, but he wouldn't say...... I asked Aunt Wei, and Aunt Wei said that a little doll needs a father and a mother, so it needs a man and a woman. Still can't figure it out...... However, I'm also a doll, so I should have been born to my father and mother together? Right, Mom? If it's mom and dad, I'll have a little brother or little sister...... Mom, can you do it? Tell me! ”

Jingyi was embarrassed.

Xiaomeixiao's car is about to drive in a straight line.

Jingyi was stared at by Suixin, obviously she couldn't pass the test without giving an answer or explanation, so she said, "That's the case." What about the little doll...... Dad has a baby, and mom has a baby. When Mom and Dad decided to have the little doll come, they put their babies together. Babies together make a baby. Sometimes this baby will become a female doll, sometimes a male doll, but it will grow in the mother's womb for ten months. When the doll wants to come out, it knocks on the mother's stomach, and the mother knows. Find a doctor, and the doctor will help the mother bring the doll into the world. ”

Then I listened, still frowning.

Jingyi asked, "Understand?" ”

"Pretty much...... That's not what Dad said, though. Sui Xin said.

"What did Dad say?" Jingyi was curious.

"Daddy said it was so simple." Then he shook his head.

Jingyi looked at her.

"Children ask so much!" Sui Xin said.

Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses, and then learned Tao Xiang's tone, and learned vividly.

Xiaomei couldn't help laughing even more now.

Jingyi had to let her stop the car.

"What's so funny, Aunt Xiaomei." Sui Xin looked at her dissatisfied, "By the way, Aunt Xiaomei, Uncle Xiao hasn't had a new girlfriend recently." ”

Xiaomei was smiling, looking at Suixin's eccentric appearance, her little face was flat, and she looked very suffocated, and suddenly her face was even more red, "Tao Suixin, you little ghost!" ”

"Uncle Xiao is in a hurry, and he also calls me a little ghost. I asked Uncle Xiao, and he has a good impression of you. But he thinks you're a little younger......" he said seriously.

Jing Yi smiled and asked, "What else did Uncle Xiao say?" ”

He said...... You little ghost, how can you love to be a matchmaker like your mother! Sui Xin shrugged, "What's so strange about that?" I'm my mother's daughter, of course I have to be like my mother. ”

Jingyi hugged Suixin, kissed her, and didn't speak.

Xiaomei stopped smiling, and looked back at the mother and daughter, who were a pair of peerless beauties...... She sighed before turning around and driving.

Since Tao Xiang left home, only Tao's wife, Hu Zufen and Tao Er'an, have lived here. Xiaomei entered the gate and drove for a long time to stop in front of the big house, Er An had already received a call from the door and was already waiting.

It was already dark, and Er An also smiled when he saw Suixin and Jingyi happily getting off the car.

"Auntie." Then I got out of the car and called someone.

Er'an stretched out his hand, took Suixin's hand, and asked, "Looks like you had a good time today?" ”

"Hmm." So I promised Er'an.

"Come in and have a cup of tea." Er'an said to Jingyi.

"It's not too early, the old lady is already resting, right? I still won't go in. Jingyi whispered. She hoped to stay with Suixin for a while longer, but she also understood in her heart that Hu still couldn't accept her contact with Suixin.

"The old lady is not at home." Er'an explained, "Come in, I have something to say to you." ”

Jingyi asked Xiaomei to wait for her, and followed Er An into the door.

Er An asked Fu's mother to take Suixin to take a bath, and he went to the small study with Jingyi.

She personally went to make tea for Jingyi and said, "I think you also know that this time I accompanied the old lady back, and I had two things to do." Because the situation is unstable, Lao Qi has his own plans, so we didn't do these two things. ”

Jing Yi knew clearly that one of the two things Er An said was to promote the marriage of Tao Xiang and Su Meizhen.

"The old lady means the old man. It doesn't matter if you follow Lao Qi, or if you go back to your hometown in Lanzhou to follow Lu Zhi, in short, you don't want to leave your homeland. But now that the war is imminent, I asked for the consent of Lu Zhi and Lao Qi to take the old lady to Nanyang. The old lady couldn't resist them, and reluctantly agreed, but she made a condition. This condition makes me feel very difficult. Er'an said, his brow furrowed.

Jingyi asked, "The old lady wants to take Suixin with her?" ”

Er An nodded: "I don't think it's because I don't want to take care of Suixin. It was the old seven who disagreed. In the past few days, Lao Qi and the old lady have exchanged several telegrams, but they have not budged. The old lady said that if she didn't let her go, she wouldn't go. She can take Suixin back to Lanzhou. I advised the old lady not to make trouble for Lao Qi because of personal matters at this juncture, so she barely endured it. Jingyi, you should be able to think of it too. The old lady has been with her since she was a little old, and she has a deep affection for Nannan. ”

"I know that." Jingyi is a little woody.

Er An was silent for a moment and said, "The old lady is reluctant to take care of her, and she hopes to give her the best care." ”

"Miss, I understand the old lady's feelings. If you can convince you to go with you to a safer place, I won't stop you. But I will stay in Shanghai for a while, and I promised to stay here with her and wait for her father to come back. I promise that if she stays with me, I will do everything I can to take care of her. Jingyi said. She looked at the study door. I still remember the strong reaction of Sui Xin, who overheard her conversation with Tao Xiang. "But let me completely let go of Nannan, I can't do it. I was afraid that if I left her again, she would not recognize me as a mother in the future. ”

Tao Eran looked at her and said, "Since you have a tacit understanding with Lao Qi, I also believe that you can take care of Nannan." It's just that you're really busy at work. When you are busy, you may not be able to take care of it all the time. That's where I'm worried. In the next few days, I will persuade the old lady to let her go with me with peace of mind. I suspect that she is just an excuse, Lao Qi is here to kill the enemy for the country, and she will not be willing to leave China easily. Jingyi, although Lao Qi is not born to her mother, she has actually poured the most effort into her mother, and she wants to advance and retreat with Lao Qi. I think you know that very well. If you can, don't break the old lady's heart too much. She still refuses to forgive you, because she had the same high expectations of you as her grandmother and aunt. ”

Jingyi nodded. Unexpectedly, Er'an mentioned the old grandmother and Tao Yinze, which made her feel sad. Not being able to say a final goodbye to them is also a great regret in this life. She asked, "Big brother went back, is everything okay at home?" The third aunt and grandmother are okay? ”

"Yes, very. You also know the temperament of aunts and grandmothers, who would rather bend than bend. If the flames of war were to be there one day, it would be difficult for them to leave their homes. I had to take one step at a time. Fortunately, there are bridles. Eran said.

Jingyi nodded and said, "We should also have enough confidence in Muzhi and them." ”

"Of course. In order to defeat the invaders, I have already lost a younger brother, and I have lost such a good family, I really don't want any relatives to die. But there's no way around it. At this time, all bloody people will contribute to the war of resistance. Eran said.

Jingyi finally knew that Er'an's words were true.

"It's not early, I know you're busy too, go back and rest." Er An sent Jingyi out, "Take care of yourself." I don't think you're in good health. You have a heavy workload, and you will take care of your children in the future, and you can't do it without a good health. ”

Jingyi smiled and nodded.

Suixin had already changed her clothes and ran down to see her off.

Jingyi hugged her heart.

A refreshing and warm smell, and my hair is wet.

She kissed Suixin's forehead, got into the car and left.

Xiaomei saw that she was not always in a good mood after seeing Suixin these days, and asked, "Did the eldest lady say something that made you unhappy?" ”

Jingyi shook her head.

"Leave me at the gate, and you can go home quickly. It's been a hard time for you these past few days. I don't know when Master Chen will recover. Jingyi said.

"How can I call this hard work?" Xiaomei said with a smile.

The car stopped, Jingyi got out of the car, urging Xiaomei to leave quickly.

She rang the doorbell.

She faintly heard a roar. As soon as the door opened, Lao Li was asking her how she was, and she suddenly reacted that the roar that was getting closer and closer was an airplane. She hurriedly urged Lao Li to go in, looked up at the sky, and couldn't see anything, but the roar gradually turned into a sharp sound, and then the air defense siren sounded.

Although she had also heard the air raid siren, it sounded in this night, which was even more creepy.

The air defense sirens sounded for a long time, as did the roar of the planes, but there were no explosions.

Jingyi poured a glass of wine and looked out the window.

At the same time as the alarm sounded, the power supply in this piece was also cut off, there was not even moonlight, and it was dark outside.

Someone rang the doorbell, Lao Li went to open the door, and came back to report that it was Cheng Xi who came.

Cheng Xi came in and said that the Ninth Young Master asked him to come and see how Miss Ten was doing here. And I want him to bring someone to stay here tonight, and Miss Ten will tell me if I need anything.

Jingyi knew that the telephone line had also been broken, and Zhishen and Hui'an couldn't call in, so she was anxious to let people take a look.

"What can I do here?" She originally wanted Cheng Xi to go back, but at this time she hesitated and said, "There are a few empty rooms, let Aunt Li open the door for you to rest, and come back tomorrow." ”

"The Ninth Young Master and the Young Grandmother are worried about the safety of Miss Ten. The Ninth Young Master originally wanted to come in person, but there was an emergency meeting in the city hall, and he wanted to attend. He's going to Nanjing again tomorrow morning......"

"Going to Nanjing again?" Jingyi asked. This time, I always heard that I went to Nanjing. She didn't care much, but she listened.

"Yes, my lord is sick." Cheng Xi said. Cheng Xi didn't dare to show any other tone, for fear of annoying Jing Yi.

Jingyi listened and was stunned.

"Go down." Jingyi said.

Cheng Xi went down.

The uneasiness in Jingyi's heart is getting worse.

Er'an's words, the warplanes that suddenly flew over the city, the dark night, the sound of air defense sirens, and the inexplicably tense air in the city...... Once the most developed and active city in Asia, it is now facing the same catastrophe as half of China.

Jingyi drank a glass of wine, poured another glass, and then simply drank the entire bottle of wine.

She had just gotten up early the next morning, but Zhishen came in person.

Zhishen said that he was about to leave for Nanjing, and Hui'an went with the children.

Jingyi waited for him to say, and sure enough, he said, "Father is sick." We're going to rush back to visit. ”

He was also waiting for Jing Yi's response.

Jingyi didn't speak right away.

Zhishen said, "I hope you will consider taking Suixin back to visit your father." Xiao Shi, the responsibility for the grievances with the Tao family back then was on me and the third brother. My father tried his best to make up for our mistakes, both then and after. Almost half of his wealth was devoted to saving the relationship between the two families. This is the way it should be, but it is also for you. And my father loves Suixin very much, if you don't go back, at least let Suixin go back to see his father. Maybe it's the last one, who can say right. ”

Jing Yi could see that she was cautious and worried.

"What I said to Dunhuang that day, I think about it carefully. The Cheng family is a tiger's den, and the Tao family is also a wolf's den...... The tiger's den and wolf's den have all broken through, and you are where you are today. Back then, the grievances were forced to let you go. But at least don't leave any more regrets. You always say that your father and we don't respect your intentions, and you are forced to do this and that. After all, we still recognize you in our hearts and do it for your good. Nowadays, you might as well ask the meaning of the heart first whenever you want to manage the heart. See if she is willing to see her grandfather. Zhi Shen said, feeling that he had finished speaking, "I should go, or I won't miss the train." Little ten, Brother Jiu is still the same sentence, we are waiting for you at home. ”

Jing Yi looked cautious.

Zhishen seemed to endure it, but he couldn't hold back in the end, and said, "There is something I didn't tell you." I saw you raising money a while ago, and I have to admit that I wanted to see your embarrassment. Over the years, you have stubbornly refused to accept anyone's help, and you have refused to see us in person. I wanted to wait for you to come and ask us. Who knows if you really plan to be stubborn for the rest of your life, and in the end, we still have to take the money and go to 61 doors to beg you to accept it. ”

"Brother Jiu, don't say these words." Jingyi said.

Zhishen waved his hand and said, "That's not what I'm going to say. As I just said, my father spent half of his family wealth to compensate for the loss of the Tao family. The Tao family doesn't necessarily need this money. But Makiyuki accepted it at the time. That's certainly true. It's just that there are some twists and turns, and Makiyuki and his father have a consensus. Later, Cheng's shares, those cash and bonds, Mu Zhiquan was transferred to your name. ”

Jingyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" ”

In other words, although the money was returned, it was still surnamed Cheng. Mu Zhi has contributed a lot to the country and his family over the years, and if the family foundation of the king of the northwest is not dispersed for him, I think it will be similar. That's what I admire about him. Regardless of the rest, I am inferior to him in this one. I told you today, and I also let go of a piece of thought. I don't think he will tell you easily. Since the money is yours, how to use it is for you to watch. Zhi Shen said, putting on his hat.

As if he had really put down something heavy, he smiled lightly.

Jingyi froze.

At that time, Tao Xiang gave her some deeds, and she tore them apart.

He said it was compensation for her.

But she wasn't going to ask for it. Except for compensation, Tao Xiang didn't mention these at all...... No one mentioned it.

Zhi Shen said: "If you don't use it, you can rest assured." It's only now that I really feel like I have a lot to offer......"

"Brother Jiu, don't be insatiable. Back then, Muzhi taught you a lesson, but it made you depressed for a while, and then you went crazy to make money. Don't be like I don't know. Mu Zhi scattered all his wealth for the war of resistance, don't fall behind him. When making money, don't let people poke the backbone of Cheng's family. Jingyi said.

Zhishen coughed, his eyebrows trembled, and said, "Can you wait for me to finish speaking?" Look at what you said! You, ninth brother, am I that kind of person? I want to do more. But if this country dies, what will the slaves talk about? Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to contribute to the War of Resistance. I don't want Taren and them to chat with Suixin in the future, Suixin can say how many Japanese devils her father has killed, and Daren said how much money his father has counted, right? ”

After he finished speaking, he pouted, put on his hat and left.

Jingyi didn't send him out, but still stood there.

It took her a long time before she remembered that the pouting appearance of Brother Jiu just now was still the same as before, when he quarreled with her, and he looked unforgiving......

She went to work half an hour earlier than usual that day, but she didn't finish her rounds before the hospital opened, as usual.

Walking alone in Tzu Chi's garden, she watched the patients walking calmly and heard them discussing the current situation.

Obviously, last night's air raid siren woke many people from their sleep, and they still have lingering palpitations.

As soon as she went up, someone was waiting for her in Xiaomei's guest room.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the roar of an airplane again.

She looked up as a group of warplanes flew low over...... She was at peace. Fortunately, it was not an enemy aircraft.

She hurried back to her office.

At this time, she is in her position, so that she can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

As soon as she went up, someone was waiting for her in Xiaomei's guest room.
