Chapter 38: Madame
Chen Aihua has been a little restrained recently, and he didn't run to the Shen Mansion like before, when he had anything to do. First, it was because her aunt asked her not to meet the groom so often before marriage, which had a bad impact, and she was also weak-hearted.
In Shen Yiwen and Chen Xin's feelings for each other, she actually sees it most clearly.
She hurt Chen Xin, and she happened to be bumped into by Li Tingting, if Shen Yiwen knew about it, she would be done playing. Shen Yiwen has become more and more impetuous, since he saw Chen Xin last time.
Every time she went to bring him some snacks or something, Shen Yiwen almost found an excuse to avoid it.
During this period of turmoil, the coastal city was turbulent, and there were some social gangsters who bullied the weak and feared the hard, and acted recklessly in the city. There is a little Japan outside.
Although the war has not yet been fully fought, some traces of Japanese have been found on the docks and on the various roads leading to the city.
In fact, there are already many foreigners in Marina City, and most of them are Japanese. Marina City is an advanced new type of city, and many Japanese people came here in the early days, but in fact, the purpose was very simple, just to do business. But for now, the story is up for debate.
Shen Yiwen, as the marshal of Binhai, has been busy recently. When he was busy, he rarely went back to the Shen Mansion. No matter when Chen Aihua goes, he can't see Shen Yiwen.
This made her even more suspicious that Shen Yiwen had now regretted marrying her, and when she learned that Shen Yiwen didn't go home occasionally, she even felt that Shen Yiwen had gone to find Chen Xin.
Chen Xin has not been idle recently, and there are not as many pedestrians on the street as before.
Even the business of the food and clothing industry is not good, let alone the clock business of their store. Now I have a lot of free time, so as not to let Xiaoxiao stay at home all the time. Occasionally, she would take her little one to the store.
Although Chen Xin looks serious and difficult to get along with now, she is delicate and cute. The clerks like to tease her, laughing and laughing, not watching the news, and thinking that this is the peaceful and prosperous era.
After work this day, Xiao Cherry came to pick up Xiao Xiao and Chen Xin.
"Sister Xin, have you read the newspaper? I've heard that the Japanese are about to attack, should we go out and hide? ”
Walking on the road, Xiao Cherry suddenly quietly pulled Chen Xin's sleeve and asked cautiously.
Of course, Chen Xin has read the newspaper, and this is still a habit she has been "forced" to form during this time.
But in fact, it will be forced and a little inappropriate, Lin Nanyi has ordered a newspaper for every store in his house. Chen Xin didn't realize that she was going to see it at first, until one day, she was patrolling outside. A clerk suddenly asked her a casual question, but she had never heard of it.
Later, when I asked Lin Nanyi, Lin Nanyi said that it was a matter of discussion in the newspaper that day. Since then, Chen Xin has been reading newspapers. Originally, I thought it would be boring, but after watching it, I found it interesting to get used to it, so I stuck with it.
Listening to Xiao Cherry's words, Chen Xin lost his mind for a moment. She can later understand Little Cherry's thoughts, and she also knows that Little Cherry proposed to move away more because she was worried about her and Little Cherry.
However, hearing these words that contain a little meaning of "selling the city for glory" and "abandoning the city and fleeing", Chen Xin is still a little sensitive.
Seeing that Chen Xin didn't speak, Xiao Cherry suddenly thought of Chen Xin's past legend, and explained in a panic: "Sister Xin, I didn't mean that, I just thought it was too dangerous here now, so I ......"
said it upside down, and in the end, Xiao Cherry didn't explain why, but the more she talked, the more confused it became. Her own face turned red with panic.
Chen Xin looked at her and smiled, shook his head and said, "I know what you mean, but if I leave now, then I will do what I didn't do three years ago." I haven't avenged my father yet, and I can't go yet. ”
Little Cherry was silent, and the rest of the way, the three of them were silent. Even Xiaoxiao seemed to feel something, and there was no giggling along the way.
When he walked to an intersection from home, Chen Xin saw Shen Yiwen's adjutant. He was at the pastry shop with two soldiers, as if he were asking the male boss if he would like to join the army.
The proprietress has been following the boss all the time, and she looks quite calm, but if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are red.
When the husband goes to war, it must be the wife who is frustrated and sad. It may be that there are outsiders, and the male boss is holding the boss's shoulder with one hand, as if comforting.
Chen Xin didn't want to meet the adjutant, so he took a look and planned to walk around. It's just that as soon as she walked to the position corresponding to the pastry shop, the adjutant saw it.
It's no wonder that people are panicking now, there are few pedestrians on the street, and the three of them are wearing civilian clothes, and they can see it at a glance.
“…… Mrs. "could see that the adjutant hesitated, and Chen Xin guessed that he should have wanted to call "Mrs. Zhenfang", but because he was outside now, he felt that it was not good to call her like this.
She was grateful that the lieutenant had been able to pay attention to her feelings by this point, but she didn't need to.
She has never been Shen Yiwen's wife. The word "wife" should be for Chen Aihua.
Now the people in the entire coastal city know that Shen Yiwen's wife is Chen Aihua, and the adjutant is calling Mrs. Chen Xin here, and Chen Xin is actually more unhappy.
"The adjutant shouted wrong, my name is Chen Xin, you can call me Miss Chen." Chen Xin did not hesitate and directly corrected the adjutant's name.
As soon as Chen Xin's words came out, he felt two bundles of exquisite gaze. It was the boss and the proprietress who got the attention, although Chen Xin had been to this shop many times before, but she had never told them her name.
Now I suddenly heard that she was the eldest lady of the Chen family who "sold the city for glory", and was later arrested and imprisoned Chen Xin. It will definitely be surprised and surprised.
However, the two couples are really educated, and after glancing at Chen Xin together, they quickly looked away. Xiang Chen Xin nodded slightly, as if apologizing for their impoliteness just now.
The adjutant's face was a little unbearable, and when he saw the eldest lady of the Chen family who he hadn't seen for a long time in front of him, he could obviously feel that Chen Xin was much more confident than when he was released from prison. But it's not as conceited and flamboyant as she was three years ago.
"The subordinates still have important things to report to the marshal, so they will retire first." The adjutant ignored Chen Xin's rebuttal, and finally simply did not call Mrs. Chen Xin or Miss Chen Xin.
Before leaving, the adjutant also glanced at Chen Xin deeply. He has been working beside Shen Yiwen all year round, and he can still see what Shen Yiwen is thinking in his heart.
During this time, Shen Yiwen was so busy that he didn't have time to go home, but he had to take a detour here to take a look at Chen Xin when he had time.
In fact, many times they can't see Chen Xin, and Shen Yiwen has never explicitly said that he came to see Chen Xin, so he can't ask more, so he can only act as if he doesn't know what to do.
As soon as the adjutant left, the remaining four adults looked at each other. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Chen Xin didn't know what to say. After all, no matter what she says now, it actually seems to excuse herself.
It's not polite to just leave. Chen Xin still likes the proprietress a lot, and he doesn't want to have a bad relationship with them because of this matter.
Little Cherry didn't say it, in fact, because she didn't dare. Xiao Cherry is very fragile in her heart, especially when facing Chen Xin. I just said the wrong thing just now, and now I am killing her, and she will not speak first.
In the end, it was the boss who opened the mouth first. It's just that Chen Xin didn't expect that the boss actually bowed to her.
"Hello Miss Chen, my name is Xie Yu, and I have completed my studies with the help of your father, Mr. Chen Jianye. I wanted to go to the government as soon as I graduated, but by the time I went, Mr. Chen had already passed away. ”
The boss sighed, a little moved, "Since I met Miss here, I hope Miss can tell me where Mr. Chen's mausoleum is, and I want to pay my respects." ”
Chen Xin hurriedly helped people up, she always knew that her father was helping people. I just didn't expect that she would be able to touch it. Hearing Xie Yu propose to go to see his father, Chen Xin blushed a little. Until now, she has not erected a tombstone for Chen's father.
"Yes, my father's ashes are still in my house. You and the hostess, come together. Father should be glad to see you. ”
The proprietress hurriedly introduced herself to Chen Xin.
"Hello Chen Xin, my name is Wen Yuan"
Chen Xin looked at the proprietress and smiled gratefully. Fortunately, the proprietress didn't call her Miss Chen. Wen Yuan called her name, which made her feel relieved.
"Hello, my name is Chen Xin." Chen Xin said, and pushed the little cherry next to him again, and introduced: "She is my sister, little cherry." ”
Wen Yuan didn't show any surprised expression, looked at Little Cherry and smiled kindly, and introduced himself again: "Hello, Little Cherry, my name is Wen Yuan." ”
Xiao Cherry looked at Wen Yuan's smile and seemed to be stunned. Chen Xin slapped her quietly, and then she panicked: "Hello, hello, ......"
Xiao Cherry never thought that such a humble person as her would be able to meet a good friend like Chen Xin, who is also a master and friend, and now she can meet a lady with a gentle temperament like Wen Yuan.
"That'...... When you have closed the stalls, come to my house. Xiaoxiao kept holding Chen Xin's hand, wanting to go back quickly.
Wen Yuan nodded, and Chen Xin went back with Xiaoxiao and Xiaocher.
"Sister Xin, that Miss Wen is so good, and so is her husband." When I got home, Little Cherry kept praising the two of them.
I think they are really readers, and they won't stand in line indiscriminately. is not like the people around Chen Aihua, who always wronged Chen Xin.
Xiao Cherry praised Xie Yu and Wen Yuan vigorously, and Chen Xin couldn't help but tease: "What's wrong?" Little Cherry wants a husband too? ”
Although Xiao Cherry didn't know how Chen Xin automatically skipped Wen Yuan's words that she praised, as soon as she heard Chen Xin's ridicule, her face flushed with shame, and she wanted to tickle Chen Xin's itch if she didn't do it.
The two adults were chasing and playing in the yard, and the little one was giggling and clapping his hands on the side, giggling and laughing.
At this moment, Xie Yu and his wife came.
