Chapter 385: Survival in Hong Kong (30)
This is the first New Year that everyone has spent in Hong Kong, and there is nothing to be happy and fortunate for the Chang family, because Chang Baogui called to say that he was very busy and could not come over to celebrate the New Year with Yang Liu and them. Yang Liu has been married to Chang Baogui for fifteen years, and this is the first time that she has not spent the New Year with Chang Baogui! In previous years, no matter how busy Chang Baogui was, he would rush back to accompany Yang Liu and his son for the New Year, so after Yang Liu received Chang Baogui's telegram, he had an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.
Chang Baogui, who stayed in Shanghai, was indeed very busy, because Rosen's party was already clearly on the winning side in the struggle between the inland and the *. Most of the cities in the interior of China were already under the rule of Rosen's party, and Shanghai was an important city in China, and this time was no exception.
But it is easy to conquer a city, but it is not easy to govern a city. What's more, when the city of Shanghai was defeated, it was already full of holes. The terrible expansion of Tonghua has long caused chaos in Shanghai's economic and financial order and the lives of ordinary people. In addition, many big capitalists and wealthy people left with a lot of money when they were defeated, and many factories, foreign banks and banks closed or closed down one after another, which made Shanghai's economy even worse.
At this time, Chang Baogui, the national capitalists who stood in Rosen's party, naturally stood up
Assist the new government in Shanghai to calm down the people's feelings, and at the same time help the government to take stock of the closed factories, foreign banks, and banks, and arrange personnel......
In this way, Chang Baogui is naturally very busy. The most important thing is that there is a passion, a long-awaited ideal society is about to be born, and Chang Baogui is excited to be able to contribute to this ideal society at this time, I have to say that once a man puts his career in mind, the first thing to be sacrificed is naturally the life of the family. Therefore, going to Hong Kong to accompany his wife and children for the New Year was naturally given up by Chang Baogui.
Because of the absence of Chang Baogui, the male host, the Yang Liu family, the atmosphere of the New Year is not very strong. Especially the willow, the whole person is a little depressed. Yang Liu naturally affected the mood of her three sons. So even the air in Yangliu's house is a little stuffy.
But Xiao Ju's family is different, since Liu Zhu joined the team. They have always been dependent on each other, but now there is one more Zhou Wu! Zhou Wu, in front of Xiaoju's family, has completely changed as a person. In front of Xiao Ju Niang, he is a generous and intelligent young man, and in front of Zhuang Zhuang, he is a stern and generous brother, but in front of Xiao Ju, he is very spoiled by Xiao Ju and a bit of a scoundrel who plays treasure from time to time. Xiao Ju, who already knew Zhou Wu's thoughts, was sometimes a little moved, but she was also a little confused in her heart, because she didn't know whether to respond to Zhou Wu's emotion. Because she didn't feel her heart beating faster when she stayed with Zhou Wu. A qiē is all plain and bland.
But there is an extra Zhou Wu in the family. In addition, the life in Hong Kong for most of the year is the most stable and harmonious day for Xiaoju's family. Obviously, the air in the house is much more active. What's more, Xiao Ju Niang had already guessed Zhou Wu's thoughts from Zhou Wu's attitude towards Xiao Ju during this time, so her eyes on Zhou Wu slowly changed to those looking at her son-in-law.
Who is Zhou Wu? In the team, he is a secret agent known as a fox in the special agent battalion, and he has changed his attitude towards Xiao Juniang. Naturally, he quickly noticed that for the mother-in-law he had already identified in his heart, how could he not care about it everywhere? Naturally, Xiao Ju Niang became more and more satisfied with Zhou Wu. In the past, there were still concerns about bad legs, but now that more than half a year has passed, Zhou Wu's legs have gone from being able to walk a long distance with crutches to now being able to walk a long distance without crutches, which has completely removed the last worry in Xiao Juniang's heart.
On this day, Zhou Wu finished practicing walking, and habitually went to the kitchen to help Xiao Juniang. Not to mention. During this time, Zhou Wu stayed at Xiao Ju's house and learned Xiao Ju Niang's good cooking skills, coupled with the intelligence of others, he also innovated from time to time, so that Xiao Ju's family highly praised his cooking skills. Originally, Xiao Ju Niang didn't let Zhou Wu learn to cook, she was a rural woman with traditional thoughts. She believes that men should work outside to support their families, and housework is women's business.
But Zhou Wu's words made Xiao Ju Niang silent, and Zhou Wu said this at that time, "Xiao Ju is so busy that she doesn't have time to do housework at all." I will take care of all the housework in the future, and now I will learn to cook, and I will be able to raise Xiaoju to be chubby by then. ”
When a mother hears this kind of words, not to mention that this person is still secretly investigated by her as her future son-in-law, she will naturally say nothing else. You must know that Xiao Ju is in Xiao Ju Niang's heart, but it is different from the ordinary storage zài.
"Aunt Liu, why do you say there are so many things in the police station during this time? Let Xiaoju go to the police station every day, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few days! It's so bad that our Xiaoju doesn't even have time to buy new clothes for the New Year! Because Zhou Wu couldn't stand for a long time, he sat on a stool to help Xiao Ju Niang knead her dough.
"Yes! I thought that she would have more time to stay at home after the school holiday, but I didn't expect the police station to be busy again! It seems that I heard Xiaoju say that the public order in Hong Kong is not very good during this time, and there are more and more Chinese people coming from the mainland, which has already made the Hong Kong government start to feel a little headache! Xiao Ju Niang said with some worry while scooping the millet in the pot.
"Xiao Ju's martial arts are not bottom, you don't have to worry too much about her safety!" Zhou Wu comforted. In fact, Zhou Wu also thought that Xiao Ju was on winter vacation, and he would spend more time at home, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to let Xiao Ju's heart settle down. Xiao Ju only has the same feelings for him as a big brother, and there is no love between men and women, how could he, a man as smart as a fox, not notice it?
Although Zhou Wu knew, he pretended not to know, first, he thought that Xiaoju was still too young and had not yet learned about this kind of thing! The second is that he thinks that it is his business to love someone, as for whether the other party loves him or not, his love is here, his people are here, not to mention that they stay together every day, it is not impossible for Xiaoju to have feelings for him for a long time. It's a pity that Xiaoju is too busy and doesn't stay at home for a week. Of course, another reason is that his legs have not fully recovered to their previous state, and his heart is still a little uneasy and inferior.
Now Zhou Wu feels that his legs are being able to stand longer and longer without relying on external objects after half a year of compound keying, the distance he can walk is getting farther and farther, and his legs are feeling more and more powerful, which makes his heart more and more steady.
Because as long as Xiao Ju is at home, Chang Gong often finds excuses to find Xiao Ju, and Zhou Wu has long felt Chang Gong's liking for Xiao Ju from Chang Gong's eyes and the tone and attitude of his speech, but he is a little helpless because of his legs. What's more, the extraordinary relationship between the Chang family and the Xiao Ju family and the common experience at sea also worried him. Because compared to the real one, he does not have Chang Gong an advantage in all aspects.
In Zhou Wu's opinion, Chang Gong and Xiao Ju are close in age, and they are Rosen's nephews, and they also have a common experience with Xiao Ju, which is incomparable to him. What's more, his legs can't even walk alone, he is still so old as Xiao Ju, and now he is still staying at Xiao Ju's house for Xiao Ju to raise, these actual facts are his fatal injuries, but fortunately, after his observation, he found that every time Chang Gong came to look for him, Xiao Ju's expression did not change much, and he did not have the attitude of a girl when she saw her beloved. Zhou Wu's somewhat uneasy heart calmed down a little.
Xiao Ju Niang looked at her mouth and said that she didn't have to worry about Xiao Ju, but in fact, Zhou Wu, who was already a little uneasy, although she smiled with satisfaction in her heart, she said in her mouth, "Zhou Wu, are you kneading dough like that?" You said that Xiaoju would be fine, why did you pinch the dough like an enemy? The dough is kneaded, not pinched! Zhou Wu looked at the dough that was pinched out of shape in his hand, because his mind was broken by Xiao Ju Niang's point, and for the first time he had a bit of a wolf feeling in front of Xiao Ju Niang.
"Aunt Liu, what do you think of me?" Zhou Wu, whose mind was broken by Xiao Ju Niang, quickly adjusted his mentality, and simply asked Xiao Ju Niang with a cheeky smile.
"You are a person...... Xiao Ju Niang also began to be a little narrow at this time, looking at Zhou Wu as if she was not saying anything, and Zhou Wu, who had always been calm and indifferent in front of Xiao Ju Niang, was already full of nervousness and uneasiness on his face.
When Xiao Juniang saw Zhou Wu's demeanor, she couldn't bear to tease him anymore. What's more, she also knew that Zhou Wu in front of her had long lost the confidence and certainty she had in front of Xiao Ju since her legs were injured. But even if she is satisfied with Zhou Wu, it is also her satisfaction rather than Xiaoju's satisfaction. Xiao Ju Niang will not help Xiao Ju set a life, her daughter is different. She wants her daughter to be happy in her future life, not like her, who is unladylike.
"Zhou Wu, I think it's useless to be nice! I want my daughter to like it! After Xiao Ju Niang said this sentence in a gentle tone as much as possible, she lowered her head to do things, and didn't tease Zhou Wu anymore, and Zhou Wu listened to Xiao Ju Niang's words, and the loss on her face could be felt by people with clear eyes at a glance.
Because of the silence of Xiao Ju Niang and Zhou Wu, only the sound of Xiao Ju Niang touching the pots and pans was heard in the kitchen, and the sound of 'popping' when Zhou Wu shook the dough, and the pleasure of the two getting along in the kitchen was quickly replaced by a dullness.
"Mother! Brother Zhou! I am back! Just when Zhou Wu was a little regretful that he had asked Xiao Ju Niang that question too early, so that he fell into the predicament in front of him, Xiao Ju's crisp and somewhat pleasant voice came from the living room.
