After Zhuang Yuncheng woke up, he washed his face, walked downstairs, and saw Fluttershy wearing an apron and putting a plate of dishes on the table, Aunt Qin smiled and said, "At noon today, most of these dishes were made by Miss, and I spent the morning free." ”

Fluttershy smiled and explained, "I'm free today, Yunyun isn't at home, and you two can eat together at the table." ”

"No, there have to be rules, there are no rules, there is no circle, Lotus and I still eat in the kitchen."

Zhuang Yuncheng was still standing on the turntable of the stairs and persuaded Fluttershy, "Forget it, Aunt Qin, they are old, and some concepts can't be changed. ”

"That's what the young master said." Aunt Qin smiled innocently, set the dishes on the table, and went to the kitchen to eat with Lotus.

"Okay." Fluttershy yells, "Come here, I haven't cooked in a long time, try this dish and see if my cooking skills have regressed." ”

"Hmm~" Zhuang Yuncheng smelled the fragrance, and boasted while going downstairs: "No, it's still progressing." ”

"Try it and find out." Fluttershy hands him the chopsticks and urges him to sit down and serve his own meal.

"Don't be busy, let's eat." Zhuang Yuncheng watched her walk around, very busy.

"That's fine." Fluttershy undoes her apron, washes her hands, and wipes the sweat from her forehead.

Zhuang Yuncheng sandwiched a piece of crispy meat, took a mouthful, and said hummingly: "Yes, I'm about to catch up with Aunt Qin." ”

"Huh, really?" Fluttershy smiled from ear to ear and said happily, "I'll be free another day, and I'll ask Aunt Qin for advice." ”

"Don't worry about me, you can eat." Zhuang Yuncheng put a piece of vegetables in her bowl.

"Holo."

The brother and sister ate this meal with a smile, but first put that pile of bad things behind them.

After Zhuang Yuncheng had slept and eaten, the mess came back to his mind, and Fluttershy saw that he had been silent for a long time, and just lowered his head to eat, so she asked, "Are you starting to worry again?" ”

"It's fine." Zhuang Yuncheng smiled reluctantly, raised his eyes and said, "Even if there is anything, it is not as important as eating now, let's eat first, and talk about other things after dinner." ”

"Hmm."

……

After a while, lunch time was over, Zhuang Yuncheng wiped the oil on his mouth with a handkerchief, and sighed: "People, after all, we have to return to a life with some worries and uncomfortable, eating and sleeping are happy things, but you can't eat all the time, you will die, you can't sleep all the time, you will sleep to death." ”

"You're all right?" Fluttershy asks with a smile.

"No, a little bit of feeling, like we are now, we are full, we have to sleep well, and we have to worry about life."

"yes, that makes sense." Fluttershy asked, "I said you were so tired that you ran back to sleep without saying a word after you saw the factory." ”

"No, I haven't slept well for a few days, and I got up in a hurry this morning, but I was angry, and I felt bored, but I felt relaxed, so I slept well."

"Okay now?"

"Okay, but the troubles also follow, what do you say this factory should do?"

"There is a reason for this, and this 'cause' must be the British, we have never offended people in the government before, and the government does not need to rectify us."

"Yes, but the British must also be in collusion with the Beiyang government, and if this is just the beginning, then we can't imagine what the British will do next." Zhuang Yuncheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said, "This factory can't be opened." ”

"That's right, few workers dare to come to such a toss, and last night as soon as the workers came to settle the wages, which has already made their position clear." "But this factory must not be left in the hands of foreigners." ”

"It can't fall into the hands of foreigners, but we can't drive it ourselves...... Zhuang Yuncheng thought and suddenly asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Even though the factories across the country have become money-making machines for foreigners and magnates, as long as they don't fall into the hands of foreigners, they don't become hell," says Fluttershy. Turn the workers into the walking dead, and then the workers will be worse off than dead. ”

"I know, pass the factory to Yang Aomin or Jin Yu, although it's not very good, but it's not as bad as the situation you just said."

"There's no way around it."

As she spoke, Fluttershy saw a messenger looking at the gate, "It may be Chen Rundong's letter that sent the letter, and Yun Yun is happy." She laughs.

Fluttershy goes to fetch it, only to find that it's not a letter, but a telegram.

It was written in English she didn't recognize, and she guessed it was sent by the Englishman Wells.

"What are you standing for?" Zhuang Yuncheng saw her standing at the door and did not move, so he also walked over.

"No, look."

Zhuang Yuncheng took it, but he couldn't read the English characters.

"The English text must have been written by the British, which is certainly not a good thing."

"Yun Yun is not at home, this is still a bit of trouble." Zhuang Yuncheng thought for a while, and then asked, "Yin Hong and Bai Chenxuan both know English, which one do you go to?" ”

"We haven't visited Yin Hong and Yanxi since they got married, so let's take this opportunity to take a look."

"Okay."

The two then went to Zhang Yanxi's residence, and when they walked downstairs, they heard the sound of wiping cards.

"I'm still playing cards." Fluttershy whispers, "We crept up and startled her." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng smiled silently, and Fluttershy led the way to the second floor.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhuang Yuncheng shouted: "The thief is going to empty the things in the house." ”

Yin Hong was excited, the action of playing mahjong stopped, and the whole room was quiet for a moment, then reacted, and asked with a smile: "Yun Cheng is here?" Come in, come in. ”

Fluttershy gives him a blank look and goes in first.

"Yo, Fluttershy, I'm still thinking that I only heard Yun Cheng's voice, and thought you didn't come, so come and sit down."

Fluttershy walks in with a smile, and Zhuang Yuncheng goes in with her.

The other three wives also looked at it together, and two of them knew Fluttershy, one surnamed Lin, and Mrs. Lin hurriedly laughed and said, "It's good now, Fluttershy is here, you come to take my hand, I'm not lucky today, there is one less here, Mrs. Zhang, if you force me to fight, I should also get off when you come." With that, she stands up and pulls Fluttershy to her seat.

Fluttershy pushes and laughs as they watch the crowd laugh.

"That's right, Fluttershy, don't shirk, sit down." Yin Hong tried her best to persuade her, and turned her head to ask Zhuang Yuncheng, "Yuncheng, please play cards with Fluttershy, you don't object, right?" ”

Zhuang Yuncheng just smiled.

"If you don't talk, you agree, Fluttershy, sit down!"

Fluttershy sat blushing, Zhuang Yuncheng stood behind her, and said helplessly, "Look, I didn't agree, Fluttershy sat on her own, what can I say?" ”

"Looks like you're in charge of Fluttershy, and you're going to have to step aside." Yin Hong looked at Zhuang Yuncheng and said.

Fluttershy doesn't care about their teasing, she looks at the cards, and when it's time for her to play them, she picks one and throws it.

"I said, Mrs. Zhang, do you still like to play cards when you are married?" Fluttershy asks.

"It's all the same, whether you get married or not is no different from before, life is still like that," Yin Hong said with a smile, "However, I never get tired of hearing the title "Mrs. Zhang". ”

Everyone laughs, and Fluttershy asks, "What about Hiki?" ”

"At school."

"People are out making money, so you play cards at home?"

"Hikoki loves me and won't let me run outside." Yin Hong's face was full of happiness.

"Hey, these little bites are so sweet, tired!"

Yin Hong's face was crimson, he smiled happily, and hurriedly said: "I'm not idle, I'm writing articles at home, I've been writing novels recently, and I'm not out of inspiration, so I'll play cards." ”

"Oh, I see." Fluttershy answers and plays a card.

"Huh—why did you brothers and sisters remember it?" Yin Hong stared at the two of them.

"There are a few lines of English writing, we don't recognize, so we show you them."

"Oh? Show it to me. ”

Zhuang Yuncheng handed it to her, Yin Hong unfolded it, frowned, and said slowly: "A person named Wells wrote it, he said: This is just the beginning, if you don't cooperate with the British Empire, the consequences will be more serious than you think." ”

Fluttershy peuvelled and looked back at Zhuang Yuncheng, who also looked solemn.

"Why, you can't get along with the British?" Yin Hong asked.

"It's fine." Zhuang Yuncheng shook his head, saw Fluttershy pestle, and urged her: "You play your cards, this matter can't be solved for a while, don't worry." ”

Yin Hong handed over the telegram again, and Zhuang Yuncheng continued, in a heavy mood.

"Fluttershy, are you alright?" Yin Hong asked with concern.

"It's fine." Fluttershy chuckles and plays a card, and the group continues to play.

There are four women playing cards here, Zhuang Yuncheng feels that it is not interesting to stay here, so he thinks about leaving, but as soon as he leaves, Fluttershy probably wants to leave too, so there will be no one to play cards, which will spoil their interest, but he really can't stand this atmosphere and decides to leave.

"Uh...... Red, Fluttershy, I'll go," Zhuang said, holding Fluttershy's shoulders and looking at the crowd, "Fluttershy, stay and play with the wives." ”

"Yes, if you want to go, don't go Fluttershy, Mrs. Lin is gone, how can she play cards when she leaves," Yin Hong advised, "I haven't seen you for a long time, stay with me, and we sisters will talk later." ”

Fluttershy wants to leave with Zhuang Yuncheng, but when she leaves, she disappoints Yin Hong and spoils everyone's interest, so she agrees to stay.

"It's still early, I'll just go home, you can come back by yourself later." Zhuang Yuncheng instructed.

"Hmm." Fluttershy agreed, and Yin Hong said goodbye, "Yun Cheng, go slowly, don't send it." ”

"Holo." Zhuang Yuncheng left and returned home.

Thinking of the words of the British, he felt angry, but helpless, his mood changed little by little, and suddenly thought that the worst result was to succeed the factory, and it was a big deal to go bankrupt! He still has friends, and his dearest Fluttershy and Yunyun, and he feels lucky and happy, knowing that even if he is poor and white, they will share the ups and downs! At this time, he felt a little more relaxed, so he picked up the newspaper on the desk and read it, but after all, he was distracted, and the lines of words reflected in the newspaper danced distortedly in front of him, like a slowly attacking snake, Zhuang Yuncheng hurriedly threw away the newspaper, moved his eyes to the window, and looked at the same scenery every day boringly, he was even more annoyed.
