Thinking of this, Song Yufang couldn't help but worry, her younger brother came back after a while, how good it was to see this. It is also pitiful for such a young child to always listen to his parents arguing. Because that's how she came over, she felt very sorry for her brother. Hurriedly took the porridge bowl, took it back to the house first, and then went to wait outside the street gate, and quietly brought Song Jinfang, who was covered in mud, directly into the room.

"There is rice and noodles in the yamen!"

"The school is also full of food and accommodation, but this year's turnover is more difficult."

"You're always protecting that side, and everything people say is right, even when you bought a house. Don't think I've forgotten, I've always remembered it, once you bullied me, I hated it. At the beginning, I said, in our situation, renting a house or just buying a small single courtyard is enough. But what did the old lady say, she said that the Song family didn't give you school, but you couldn't even afford a courtyard house if you had knowledge, and you had to ask someone to rent it, and it was a shame for the old Song family to say it. ”

"Renting a house is not as comfortable as buying a house, and you don't have to think about moving. Besides, these things are very unrelated, what are you doing together? A house is a house, and an errand is an errand. Without a suitable position, they can't shoehorn in a person who doesn't do things. What's more, I'm telling you about Xiaoyu going to college......"

In Song Yufang's ears, the sound of quarrels kept coming in. Song Jinfang washed his hands and face, changed his clothes, and just took a sip of porridge, he pouted and said, "Sister, why is the porridge cold?" ”

"You little master is also difficult to serve. It wasn't you who said it yesterday, the porridge just out of the pot was too hot to drink. I'll cool you early today, and you'll be disgusted again. Song Yufang blamed him for it, and closed the doors and windows, "Eat with peace of mind, it's easy to buy rice at home." ”

But even so, Mrs. Song's voice is so loud, the papier-mâché window can't be blocked after all.

She didn't give that much money for settling in, and the furniture left by the old man was hidden by her, but she refused to separate it. But you really listened to her fart, and you would rather empty your family to earn face for her, and if there is a slight problem at home, you have to ask someone to borrow it, you really suffer this poor sin in vain! ”

Song Jinfang listened, put down his chopsticks, and glanced apprehensively at the crack in the window.

Song Yufang looked at him as if he was very unhappy, so he went to his schoolbag and took out a candy wrapped in colored paper, lit up under Song Jinfang's eyes, and said, "You are good, drink the porridge well, and my sister will give you candy." ”

"My sister loves to look down on people." Song Jinfang looked very unhappy with his mouth cocked, sniffed, lifted the round bowl, almost covered his entire face, and snorted and drank a lot of movement.

On weekdays, Song Ziming does not allow the children to eat and make noise. But at the moment, Song Yufang doesn't want to care about this. She was still reminiscing about her brother's expression just now, as if she hadn't finished speaking. If Song Jinfang was asked to continue, what would he say?

But Song Yufang just sat there in a daze after all, and didn't ask.

When I was ten years old, every time my parents quarreled, I would cry in fright. If Mrs. Song took out the candy to coax her, she would look down on her in her heart. These adults really don't treat children as human beings, thinking that they don't understand anything when they are young.

At this time, Song Jinfang also had such thoughts.

Just when Song Yufang was distracted, Song Jinfang pushed the empty bowl straight forward, tilted his head and scratched his ears, and said hesitantly: "Sister...... Then I'll go to sleep. ”

Song Yufang looked at the dishes and chopsticks, and then at Song Jinfang, although the child was young, he was not badly taught. I usually clean up the dishes and chopsticks after eating, but it seems that I was scared today and didn't dare to go to the kitchen. She sighed, and then replied: "I just ate and have to sleep, didn't your school's hygiene class teach you, isn't this bad for digestion?" ”

Song Jinfang lowered his head and pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then got off the kang, carefully pressed his steps, and walked to the door to look.

Song Yufang stood behind him, looked at the little head, timidly stretched out, and timidly retracted. Suddenly I understood why the child wanted to sleep. He was completely afraid!

If you go out to play, when you pass by the kitchen, you are likely to be called back by your angry parents, or even angry at him.

"Sister...... Then I'm going to study. ”

Looking at Song Jinfang's pitiful little eyes, Song Yufang felt very uncomfortable. Hard work is a good thing, but for the sake of peace at home, you have to read books, which is not hard work, but a great grievance.

Song Yufang hurriedly walked over and took his little hand and said, "Sister, take you out for a walk, let's eliminate food." ”

Song Jinfang nodded silently, and then touched his slightly bulging belly.

Song Yufang stroked his little head and pointed to the clothes on the kang, "Put it on and go again, it's cold outside." ”

When the two siblings walked to the door of the street, they heard the sound of cups being smashed.

Song Yufang's footsteps froze, and she found an excuse and said, "I patronized to let you put on your clothes, but I forgot about it." Jinfang, you wait here for a while, my sister will come soon. Then, she walked outside the kitchen and said, "Mom, don't be angry with my dad." In the days to come, let's take one step at a time. I know you're wronged, but these words are on your lips every day, and if you say too much, it's worthless. If Jinfang learns to be an adult, blaming this and that all day long at a young age, it will not be good for him in the future. ”

Mrs. Song stomped her foot vigorously and spat out through the window: "What are you calling a bodhisattva saying, if you talk too much, it won't become a truth?" You still talk about Confucius's words all day long, why don't you think it's worthless to say too much? ”

Because she couldn't talk about her, and she was worried about her brother outside the door, Song Yufang had no choice but to walk away first, ready to go to the park.

At first, Song Jinfang didn't say anything bad, but when he turned out of Banzhang Hutong, he broke free of his hand and ran away.

Before Song Yufang could react, she heard him say from afar: "Sister, I'm not going to the park, I'm going to Teacher Gu's house to find Da Mao Ermao to play." ”

As soon as such a big boy became angry, it was difficult for adults to catch up, so Song Yufang had to raise her voice and explain behind her: "Then you watch the road carefully, walk slowly, don't fall." ”

Song Jinfang ran out of the distance before gradually slowing down, kicking the stones at his feet, lowered his head and said to himself: "I'm a man, so I don't want to be coquettish with my sister......" After saying this, he burst into tears.

As for Song Yufang, she felt even more uncomfortable. She thought about her father's various performances over and over again, but she was afraid that she would not read, Song Ziming did not consider the economy or Song Yufang's ability, but it all depended on what Bao's mouth said. If the old lady wants to say that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, she will not read this book; The old lady wants to say that the granddaughter of the Song family can't be left behind others, and this book must be read.

The so-called foolishness and filial piety are so absurd.

After walking for a while, I heard someone shouting "Missong" in front of me.

Looking up, Fu Yongxi, who came uninvited, had already run over, grabbed Song Yufang's arm, and said with a smile: "It's really easy to finish the exam, let's go somewhere." ”

Song Yufang had to smile and admit to her: "So...... Let's go for a walk around the shrine. ”

By this time, it was completely dark. The lights on the side of the road are one on and one on the dark.

Fu Yongxi didn't notice that her eyes were red at all, and she still smiled: "Oh, what are you doing at your doorstep?" Let's go to the flyover. ”

At this time, the flyover is about to come alive.

However, Fu Yongxi is the eldest lady, so she shouldn't go to that kind of place.

Song Yufang was afraid that the people of the Fu family would blame her for bringing her badly, so she hurriedly took two steps back: "Forget it, that head is too messy!" ”

"Chaos won't delay you going, I haven't heard you talk about the way of the flyover." Fu Yongxi stomped his feet with the cheeks on both sides, and pulled the person away without saying anything.

###

In the rouge alley not far away, the Qingyin small class in the No. 10 courtyard was lively early.

An old bustard sister Li who is not less than forty years old, has a very heavy powder on her face, and the wrinkles become more obvious when she smiles: "Yo, the old man is a rare guest, and he hasn't been here for a long time, I'm afraid you won't know the way." ”

The aunt invited here smiled and said to a young girl with apricot eyes and peach cheeks: "Listen to your mother's words, it really makes people laugh when they say it." The road is recognized by the driver. Old man, just remember our girl. ”

Sister Li also laughed, then shook her handkerchief at the girl and said, "Yu Xian'er, don't you invite the guests to sit in the room." He Shunqing turned back and asked, "Is the eldest young master still called Xiao Guixiang?" ”

"Yes." He Shunqing nodded slightly, and sat down at the yellow lacquered table in the room.

He was flanked by three chairs, and on the left was a cigarette collapsed, covered with a half-new cloth. On the right is a small cupboard, in addition to a full set of cigarettes, there are also kerosene lamps, foreign jars, candlesticks and the like. There is always a faint smell of smoke in the house, which lasts for a long time.

He Shunqing sat a little uncomfortable, looked to the left-hand side, and saw a washstand in the corner. As soon as she wanted to raise her feet to go over, the aunt here hurriedly brought hot water in: "Young Master, sit down, although we are dull, we will still do things to serve people." As he spoke, he handed over the handkerchief he had put together.

Sister Li called Xiangbang to come in and officially put the table on the table.

Sun Futang took the hookah handed by Yu Xian'er, waved his hand and said, "The table is not busy, the tea is served first, we still have something to say." When the guests have arrived, it is not too late for you to come back to Zhangluo. ”

Sister Li listened to his tone, seemed to be very solemn, and said yes again and again.

Sun Futang ran outside for a day today, and specially asked He Shunqing to come over early after work on the phone. It wasn't until the mouth of the alley that the two nephews and uncles just touched their heads.

He Shunqing took the hot tea brought in by his aunt and handed it to Sun Futang. When the door was closed, he said softly: "The legations of various countries in Beijing have also learned that we are preparing to overdraft with foreign banks, and we have not heard of any problems for the time being. ”

Sun Futang took a sip of tea and said, "Tonight, I invite the managers of various banks in Beijing to get together, one is to thank you, and the other is that if the legation in Beijing has doubts, I hope they can see the past friendship and inform them in advance." For the sake of the long term, I think that we don't have to distinguish between inside and outside the Chinese and the Western, and since we are peers in Beijing, it is still necessary to prepare a joint guild together. ”

Without waiting for He Shunqing to answer, he heard someone in the courtyard come over with a smile: "Cousin Fu, long time no see." ”
