"Cousin Lan went to college, has culture, knowledge, and doesn't know that it's wrong for close relatives to get married?" Chu Jiao chewed a piece of white chopped chicken, and said with a smile: "My cousin and sister are not close relatives, and even the children born are stupid. ”

Chu Xiongfei almost choked on the wine in his mouth, threw the wine glass on the table, and scolded: "Nonsense." What kind of close relatives, that is called kissing and kissing. ”

Chu Tian wanted to laugh and held back, and said slowly: "Dad, I have indeed seen relevant reports in the United States, and the probability of children born of close relatives marrying is very large. This, it seems to be called—"

"It's called genetics." Chu Jiao said: "There should be articles in science magazines on this subject, you ask friends in the United States to find them and send them for everyone to see." It's about the next generation, but it's not sloppy. ”

"It's a good idea, I'll write in the evening." Chu Tian nodded again and again, secretly stretched out his thumb to Chu Jiao, and praised it: "Gillian's knowledge is very extensive!" ”

Chu Xiongfei was suspicious, touched the beard under his chin and looked at Chu Tian, and then at Chu Jiao, a little suspicious that the brother and sister had colluded to get him.

Yuqin lowered her head, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she was also holding back a smile. She felt that the brother and sister were singing and harmonizing, and Chu Tian must have a good girlfriend outside, so she didn't want to mention the verbal agreement from childhood again.

"Pour me a glass of wine too!" Chu Jiao felt that such a good dish was really boring if she didn't give her wine to drink.

"During the period of recuperation, it is forbidden to drink, gas, and spicy." Chu Xiongfei was not accommodating at all, and instructed his subordinates: "Serve soup to Miss." ”

Chu Tian glanced at his little sister sympathetically, shrugged his shoulders, and said that he couldn't help him.

"If you don't let me drink, make me angry." Chu Jiao rolled her eyes, seeing that her father was indifferent, she pouted helplessly, picked up the soup bowl with a broken face, and said loudly: "Cheers!" ”

Chu Xiongfei shook his head helplessly and said, "Pour a glass of champagne for Miss." Well, small cups. ”

"Come, big brother pour it for you." Chu Tian stood up and offered his courtesy.

Champagne, let's go! Chu Jiao barely squeezed out a little smile.

………………

The car was driving on the road in the French Concession, and there was no trace of war at all.

The train was ringing, and the workers and clerks commuting to and from work were busy, both men and women. The rows of merchants and shops outside are still open for business as always, the wives and ladies who sit on the rickshaws are swaggering through the market, the smiling women in thick clothes solicit customers on the street, and the taverns and restaurants are still doing thriving, and the sound of shouting five drinks and six cups is endless.

Heaven on one side and hell on the other, even at the height of the war, the two sides of the Huangpu River are very different scenes.

Chu Jiao silently withdrew her gaze from outside the car, her heart was full of mixed feelings, and all kinds of thoughts were churning in her mind.

If before, she should have hated this, but her way of thinking has changed, and now she is less angry.

It is said that "businesswomen don't know the hatred of the country", but the government can't save the people from fire and water, the army can't defend the country, and what does the war have to do with the weak women who are struggling to make a living?

Although it is not anyone's business to resist Japan, who do the common people count on if they do not expect the army they to support? Do men, women, young and old, all have to be sent to the front line to embody the spirit of patriotism?

A few minutes away, there is a rain of bullets and a river of blood, and here is a bright light, drunk and dreaming of death. In contrast, who should go to war and who should enjoy a happy life as a matter of course?

"I haven't had a typhoon in five years." Chu Tian turned back from the passenger seat and said, "I just saw the sign hung by the Meteorological Bureau, and I can feel it soon." ”

"I love storms." Chu Jiao smiled faintly and gently wrapped her coat.

Although she admired and admired the beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam, Chu Jiao was reluctant to wear it before. Now, I feel that I am a master in the future, and I don't have the leisure to put on makeup and dress up.

A white shirt with lace-trimmed trims, wide-legged pants underneath, and a pale pink U-neck tunic over it. Plain face to the sky, the front of the hair is parted and slit, so casually thrown at the back, simply tied with a hair rope.

Still the father really couldn't see it, so he asked Yuqin to dress up Chu Jiao, but after a light makeup, Chu Jiao became impatient.

"Listen to Ah Lian, you slept well last night and coughed much less." Chu Xiongfei patted Chu Jiao's arm lightly, and said with concern: "It seems that Dr. Zhang's medicine is still effective, invite him to come in a few days, I have been taking a pair of medicine for almost a month, and it is estimated that it is time to change." ”

"Dad, I don't need to take medicine, I can be fine." Chu Jiao smiled confidently and said casually: "I can't beat Xiaoqiang." ”

"Who is Xiaoqiang?" Chu Tian turned his head again curiously.

"Xiaoqiang—it's Xiaoqiang." Chu Jiao choked for a moment, hurriedly searched for her memory, barely found the answer, and said: "The vitality is the most tenacious, and the spiritual will is the strongest. ”

"Huh." Chu Tian turned his head with a smile and said, "If you say words that others don't understand, are you listening to the dialect slang spoken by those soldiers from all over the world on the battlefield?" ”

Chu Jiao suddenly became a little gloomy, and her voice was also low, "Yes, I am from Tiannan and Haibei, and I rushed to the battlefield with an order, and even had to bury my bones in another country." This is the duty of a soldier! ”

The car drove into the alley, the sunlight was blocked by the building, and it lost its warmth, Chu Jiao seemed to feel cold, and this time she really wrapped her clothes tightly.

"Aman, when you get to the hotel, you go home and get two clothes for the young lady." Chu Xiongfei has been paying attention to his daughter's actions and commanding the driver very considerately.

"Gillian, you put on my clothes first." Chu Tian glanced in the rearview mirror, took off his long windbreaker, and handed it to his sister.

"There's no sunshine, it'll be fine for a while." Chu Jiao smiled, but still reached out to take it.

When I arrived at the hotel, my uncle's family was already seated at the table. The hustle and bustle was over, and everyone sat down again.

Cousin Lan was wearing a cheongsam, with the fork open all the way to her thighs, probably because of her parents, and she seemed to be quite enthusiastic about Chutian, but it was like a routine; was more sincere to Chu Jiao.

"I've been very busy in the newspaper lately, and I haven't been going to see you all the time. Gillian, you're not going to be angry, are you? Lan hugged Chu Jiao, first expressing her apologies, and then commenting on her clothing, "This coat was bought by Ah Tian from the United States, it's very beautiful!" ”

"It doesn't matter if I'm injured, Sister Lan, don't delay my business. If you want to like this dress, Sister Lan, I'll give it to you. My brother also brought you a gift, I don't know if you like it or not. Chu Jiao herself also felt that her behavior and preferences were changing unconsciously, and she was so close, she involuntarily sniffed and smelled the fragrance of the woman on her cousin's body.

Well, it smells so good!
