From Fengtian to Nanjing to take a train for three days and two nights, the stationmaster Cao of Fangqing Lito Railway Station bought three sleepers, Japan occupied the three eastern provinces, and people with conditions went to the south with their families, and the train to Chongqing departed at four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not early in the morning, and it was difficult to find a ticket.

Stationmaster Cao is in his early thirties, and he was the deputy director of the Jiamusi Public Security Bureau before, and he was just transferred to Fengtian to take over the position of stationmaster of the railway station. The previous stationmaster was scared away when he was fighting, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and the stationmaster's seat has been empty for a long time, and this has just been given to Cao Dinghui. Cao Dinghui was a child who was gracious, but in fact, Cao's mother was seriously ill at that time, and the family had no money, Cao Dinghui had no choice but to steal the medicinal herb shop, the child didn't understand, grabbed a handful of Qihuang and ran, and was caught by the shop owner by the collar before two steps. happened to be seen by Fang Qingli, who was returning home from school, took it down, asked about it, and helped him grab the medicine.

More than ten years have passed, and I don't want Cao Dinghui to be able to recognize it at a glance, but he just squeezed out three sleepers in the few pitiful train tickets, and the time is good.

Three days after getting off the train, my uncle personally came to the station to pick up the person. Uncle Meng Lei, more than ten years younger than his mother, now opened a dyeing workshop in Nanjing, specializing in weaving layouts and official wives, rich ladies to provide good dyeing cloth, unique batik technology is famous in Nanjing.

"Sister, brother-in-law, tired, let's go, let's go home first, my mother is waiting at home." Simmering, in the evening, my uncle will take you down to the restaurant and go to Han Fuxing, I remember the last time I came, your favorite is this Han Fuxing duck. ”

"Okay, good, my uncle is the best, just thinking about it makes the root of my tongue tremble."

"Out of breath, as long as you are used to her, you still go to such a big restaurant for a meal, and the table at home can't hold her." Meng Xiaohui glanced at the girl, and then counted her younger brother.

Fang Xuan glanced at Meng Lei, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, let's go, my mother is still waiting."

In the car, Fang Xuan looked at the lively street scene without blinking his eyes through the window, the sugar gourd was big and full, reflecting the light under the sun, the sugar man was painted vividly, all of them were lifelike, there were girls' jewelry rouge gouache on the side of the road, most of them were sold to ordinary people, and the young ladies who did not go to "Xie Fuchun" and "Dai Chunlin" did not look down on the things that came out of the small workshop where there was not even a shop on the street.

Looking at it, Fang Xuan suddenly remembered something, and said to Meng Lei, who was driving in front, "Uncle, can I go to your workshop if I have nothing to do in the afternoon?" ”

It seems that he didn't expect the little girl to be interested in dyeing skills, Meng Lei didn't react at once, stayed for a while, and smiled at his niece, "Okay, my uncle will drive you in the afternoon"

"Thank you, uncle, uncle is so nice." Fang Xuan has always seen people and talked to people, and when he saw the ghost of the Black Hades, when his mouth was sweet, it made people want to eat honey, but if he provoked her, it would be really ghostly.

"I'm used to slapping sycophants, I'll trouble your uncle as soon as I arrive, don't get used to her, this girl is endless." Meng Xiaohui glanced at her daughter.

"It's not troublesome, I'm happy to take my pretty girl around, and have a lot of face, right, brother-in-law."

"That's nature." With honor.

After a while, the car turned into an alley, the car drove for a while, and entered a small yard, in which a total of tall plane trees were planted, and in winter, the plane trees without leaves were even more majestic and tall.

"When I arrived, the west side is my mother's house, and the middle is the hall house, Yingzi vacated our room, sister, you and your brother-in-law go to live, and next to Mingming's house, I was wronged to live with her, but she doesn't come back often." Meng Lei got out of the car and led people to the house, and then introduced.

"Mingming doesn't come back on weekdays?" Meng Xiaohui asked.

"Studying, girls' middle school, only go home on days off, and live in school on weekdays, she is too far away to go back." Meng Lei added tea and handed it to Fang Qingli.

"Yingzi, Yingzi" Meng Lei shouted into the courtyard.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, the ghost is chasing after the ass?" Hearing his uncle's voice, Fang Xuan couldn't help but be smart, I still remember that the last time I saw this uncle who was not easy to deal with was when I was six or seven years old, at that time, my uncle's family went to Fengtian to see my mother, at that time, my uncle's business was already a little successful, my aunt was good-looking, she used to be the eldest lady, in her words, "I was picked up by my uncle's stupid goose in the middle of the road", at that time, it was a marriage, and now I have a little spare money in my hand, and I am all kinds of shows, even with her daughter, my nostrils are taught to the sky.

"Ouch, my sister is here, yo, this simmer is so big, it's really a woman's eighteen changes, and the more it changes, the better it looks. That's what you're wearing, too, what kind of beautiful clothes can you wear in a place like Mukden, your mother must only teach stupid reading, girl, naturally you still have to be beautiful, what's the use of reading so many books. In this way, catch up with Ming, my aunt will take you to the street, let's buy a few beautiful clothes, the little girls now, they are all wearing dresses, and the skirts are not too beautiful. "Sure enough, it is impossible to change, but learning to suppress first and then raise can be regarded as growth.

Fang Xuan looked at Meng Xiaohui's eyes on the other side, and as soon as Han Yunying's words fell, Meng Xiaohui smiled and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I didn't bring a few clothes with me this time, I see that the weather in Nanjing is much worse than Fengtian, then Ming'er, you and your aunt will go shopping on the street, take a few more pieces, your aunt hasn't seen you for a long time, go shopping for a while." ”

Fang Xuan watched Han Yunying's face change color, and couldn't help but bow his head and smile, if he changed back immediately, naturally he couldn't let the family take the money and lose it.

"Simmering" An old man's voice came from outside, the old lady was tough, over seventy years old, except for the gray hair on her head, her spirit was really good.

"Grandma, you slow down" Fang Xuan walked quickly to the old lady.

"Grandma's body is stiff, Yingzi, why are you stunned, what time is it, hurry up and start eating."

"Alas, mother, sit down, I'll bring the dishes" is really one thing down one thing, the old lady has been strong all her life, not only the children are afraid, but the daughter-in-law is even more obedient like a plucked rooster in front of her.

After eating, the old lady went back to the house to rest, Fang Xuan glanced at her uncle, Meng Lei smiled and said to Meng Xiaohui and Fang Qingli, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'll take you to the workshop first, and I'll pick you up for dinner in the evening." ”

Meng Xiaohui glanced at her daughter, who couldn't sit still for a long time, "Go, go, listen to your uncle, don't run around, it's not Fengtian, there are people I know everywhere." ”

"I know, uncle, let's go quickly."

Meng Lei's dyeing workshop is called "Su Ming", the word is taken from his hometown, and the word is taken from his daughter.

"Su Ming" is a relatively large private dyeing workshop here, employing forty or fifty workers, most of whom are women, and only a few strong young men are used to do the heavy work of transportation.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, in addition to new clothes, the ladies and ladies also have to make new clothes for spring, and the workshop is extremely busy. Fang Xuan looked at the novelty, but he didn't know that a gust of wind directly pasted the undried dyed cloth in front of him on his face, and the blue in front of him faintly saw a tall figure coming, Fang Xuan thought it was a worker, so he called him: "Alas, little brother, please rescue me, your fabric is too thick, you can't breathe." ”

The man in front of him didn't seem to hear it, Fang Xuanyou shouted, "Little brother, do me a favor, I'll ask my uncle to increase your salary, do you see if this will work" The figure in front of him paused, turned around and stretched out his hand to lift the blue cloth, his height and long legs are much more convenient for saving people.

After being held back for a long time, Fang Xuan took a few breaths, lowered his head and straightened his clothes and wet hair, and muttered: "Uncle, this worker's ears are not good, this can't be heard?" That's right, my uncle has always been a good person. I straightened my clothes and looked up and was stunned for a long time.

Tidy up yourself and then look up, the person in front of you is wearing a Mao suit, tall and long-legged, and has a watch on his wrist, although Fang Xuan can't recognize the brand, he can see that it is very precious, he is staring at it, and his uncle's voice came from behind him: "Why is the ninth master here, and I won't say it in advance, I will let people prepare tea and wait at the door." ”

"Come by the way to get my sister's fabric, Boss Meng doesn't have to be polite" Although the man is humble and polite, he has an extraordinary bearing.

"Xiao Ding, go get Miss Xia's fabric." After speaking, Meng Lei turned his head towards the man and smiled and said, "Ninth Master, please come here." "The attitude was very respectful.

The man glanced at Fang Xuan, who was still stunned, and turned around and followed Meng Lei away.
