Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Zhen Gu went home only after receiving a telegram from his mother's serious illness, but when he came back, he found that things were not so simple.
Bai Xiuzhen and his biological mother are a pack of sisters, Bai Xiuzhu has a good life after marrying into the Zhen family, and the two families also try to move around.
Later, Bai Xiuzhen introduced Bai Xiuzhu, who had always invested in Bai Xiuzhu, and Bai Xiuzhu learned from her husband, and after that, Zhen Gu's father felt that this thing was not bad.
In line with the fact that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, he took several brothers and sisters in his family to participate in the investment. Later, this deal, which Bai Xiuzhen said was a steady profit, lost money, and although the Zhen family was not greatly damaged, it did lose a lot.
This breath is also on Bai Xiuzhu's head.
She is a good person, gentle and gentle on weekdays, and she doesn't say anything about the grievances of her uncle and sister-in-law.
Zhen Gu was studying abroad at that time, and he didn't know about investment, and when he was called back, Bai Xiuzhu was already terminally ill and couldn't speak.
She was lying on the hospital bed skinny, in a coma, and the moment Zhen Gu pushed open the door and walked in, this woman, who had been in a coma for more than ten days, suddenly burst into tears.
Zhen Gu knew that she knew that she was back.
Within a few days after that, Bai Xiuzhu swallowed her breath.
At that time, Zhen Gu still trusted Bai Xiuzhen, and he believed everything she said. Therefore, for a long time, he thought that his aunt's illness was angered by his uncles and aunts in the Zhen family.
A woman, who lives weakly in a big family with complicated family relationships, is cautious and does not end well.
Coincidentally, less than a month after Bai Xiuzhu's death, the old man of the Zhen family also died.
For a while, the matter of the separation of the family was in an uproar, and everyone seemed to know that the Zhen family was going to break up.
His father is not a long house, and he is not the eldest grandson, and there is not much family property in his hands, only a property, a cloth shop and tens of thousands of yuan in cash.
He didn't look down on these things, and he asked his father not to take them. Because of this incident, the two quarreled, he ran away angrily, and Zhen Pingxi had an accident on the way to find him, and the car overturned down the mountain.
Since then, he has no contact with the Zhen family.
He still remembers the day he was taken back to Zhen's house by Bai Xiuzhen.
The clouds were black-gray and low on the horizon, and there was no lightning in the clouds, followed by rumbling thunder.
He didn't come to his uncle's house because he was studying outside all the year round, but now he was suddenly brought back by Bai Xiuzhen, and several children in his uncle's family looked at him inexplicably.
But this time, he didn't stay for a few days, after all, his uncle was not a man who lacked money, so they decided to let him go back first and finish his studies.
The night before leaving, he was sitting under a tree in the corner of the garden, and five-year-old Liao Wanyu staggered up to him with a white rabbit lamp in her hand.
"Cousin...... Why don't you sleep yet. "She sneaked out to play with the lights, and she was afraid that Zhen Gu would sue.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" If I am not mistaken, there is a full twelve years of difference between them. Although Zhen Gu was in a bad mood, he wouldn't show a face to a little girl, so he coughed lightly, and his tone softened a little, "Your rabbit lamp is very beautiful." ”
The little girl smiled shyly, and the little short legs walked towards him step by step, and then reached out and handed him the beloved rabbit lamp, "Don't be sad, I'll give you the rabbit to play with." ”
"Don't be upset......"
Zhen Gu suddenly woke up from his dream, he sat up and looked at the empty room, unfortunately, there was no one who made him not sad.
He put on his nightgown, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a slow breath, and exhaled softly.
He hadn't expected himself to be so generous, or maybe he had expected him to be so generous to her. If she was for Liao Zhanshan's little family business, he wouldn't mind giving it away.
Of course, this kind of sending is conditional, and he knows that she probably won't agree to it.
She would rather "snatch" those things back than his "send".
Zhen Gu is actually very tired of flattery and intrigue, after all, a large part of the original Zhen family's separation was due to these factors.
When he later learned the truth, it was already two or three years later, he not only accepted Liao Zhanshan's sponsorship to complete his studies, but also got his reuse after returning to Luzhou.
The Liao family has no sons, and they are cultivated and treated as his future aunts.
Therefore, in the final analysis, he is grateful to Liao Zhanshan. This gratitude is embodied in the fact that as long as he is still alive, Zhen Gu will never touch Bai Xiuzhen.
But it's a pity that Liao Zhanshan died, and he died early.
The cigarette in his hand burned rapidly, Zhen Gu stood on the terrace, looking at the white sky with the belly of the fish, and with a flick of his fingers, he threw the cigarette butt out.
He felt a little pathetic about living his life as the most hated person of his youth.
What is the purpose of being false and wronged with the Japanese? Is it profitable? What is the superficial marriage with Liao Wanxin for?
Their sisters, except for their eyebrows, there is no similarity.
He laughed self-deprecatingly and turned away from the terrace.
A person will always have some impression on another person, as long as he can still remember, in his opinion, there is no difference between good and bad.
After all, for her, he should only be bad and worse......
###
Luzhou Hotel is a large hotel invested by the British, the architectural style is imitation of the European castle style, it can be said to be the most luxurious hotel in Luzhou and even Mindi, Liao Wanyu has been living in this suite since returning to Luzhou.
Xin Xiaoyue sat on the sofa, eating the afternoon tea snacks prepared by the hotel, she had gained weight recently, and her clothes were a little tight. Touching her increasingly round belly, Xin Xiaoyue still chose to eat first.
She glanced at Liao Wanyu, who frowned slightly in front of the desk from time to time, hesitated, but still opened her mouth, "Wanyu, can you eat something and watch it again?" ”
Liao Wanyu's gaze moved away from the drawings that covered the table, and she sighed softly, "You can eat, it's not enough to ask them to send it again." ”
Adair was right, even if she was given these drawings, she wouldn't be able to read them.
Ninety-five percent of the profile diagram, basic structure diagram, general layout diagram, and hydrostatic curve diagram are completely incomprehensible to her.
Before seeing these drawings of the voyage, Liao Wanyu thought that she would not look blind, after all, she had worked in the shipyard office.
As a result, when Adair got the drawings she gave her, she found that the shipbuilding technology of the British was simply incomparable with that of China.
No wonder the warships of the naval division, most of them were British-made.
Thinking of this, Liao Wanyu was somewhat unconvinced.
What she wants is a completely Chinese-style 10,000-ton merchant ship, and the steel, engines and other large and small parts required must also be produced by the Chinese. Instead of being like now, the drawings are provided by the United Kingdom and the United States, and large and small parts such as steel and engines need to be imported.
What's the use of just making a big shell? Isn't the machine, especially the power part, still someone else's thing? If one day, the relationship between each other is not good, and people ban all core goods exported to China, can we really build a 10,000-ton merchant ship?
Taking a step back, there is no need for merchant ships, so warships are always needed, right?
The coastal areas have been harassed by the Japanese for so many years, and Liao Wanyu knows exactly what the gap between them is.
Every time she thought about it, she felt flustered.
"Wanyu, what's drawn on this picture?" Xin Xiaoyue was holding English black tea in one hand and a cookie in the other, she craned her neck and looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't understand it at all.
Liao Wanyu was afraid that she would stain the drawings with black tea, so she moved the drawings on the table, "This drawing is the drawing for shipbuilding." Then he pointed to a few places, "This is the deck edge, this is the design waterline." She flipped it again, "This is the deck and platform plan. ”
Xin Xiaoyue showed a look of adoration, "You know a lot." ”
Liao Wanyu smiled helplessly, "It would be better if I knew more, I really know too little, although I can understand this drawing, but why it is designed like this, I don't understand it at all." ”
"Is your brother going to learn this?"
Liao Wanyu nodded, "When Abba was still there, he said that he would send his younger brother to learn shipbuilding and learn the most advanced technology of the British. Then come back and build our own ship. ”
Xin Xiaoyue didn't seem to understand, "Isn't there a shipyard in Shanghai?" Isn't it advanced? ”
He had just thought about the matter of Jiangnan Shipyard, and when Xin Xiaoyue asked, she patiently explained it again, and Xin Xiaoyue suddenly realized after listening to it.
"So, do you have to get Liao Gong's shipyard back? However, according to what you said, isn't that shipyard technologically backward and has few orders? Zhen Gu doesn't take it as his main business now, right? ”
Liao Wanyu cleaned up the drawings on the table and folded them into rolls, while explaining to Xin Xiaoyue, "Abba's shipyard was used to make fishing boats in the early years, and it only has the experience and technology of manufacturing wooden boats. In fact, it is also necessary to reform it, and the current workers, unless all of them are re-studied and trained, there is no way to get started. ”
She put the rolled drawings into the wooden tube, "But in the final analysis, it is Abba's thing, even if it needs to be reformed in the future, even if it is discarded, it must be in the hands of the Liao family." And not him. ”
Liao Wanyu remembered Zhen Gu's words about "sending" her, and was a little angry. What was his heart for being an abba? Even if you don't mention the shipyard, the trading company, the cloth village, the money village, the tea house and the thousands of acres of land in the countryside have no reason to be taken away by him, right?
What Bai Xiuzhen did should not be retributed to the Liao family.
"And when do you want to get all these things back?"
Liao Wanyu shook her head slowly, and said a sentence that she had never wanted to admit, but had to face, "Now, it's not the time." We need ...... Wait for your time. ”
