After eating, Xie Mu packed the remaining half of the uneaten roast duck with oil paper, after all, the roast duck here is still quite expensive, and half a roast duck is almost a silver dollar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After separating from Xie Siting at the door of the Quanjude store, Bai Ruolin said that she wanted to send a telegram to Fengtian's second aunt to report her safety, so the sisters followed Xie's mother from Qianmen Street to the telegraph office in Dongbianmen, and after the cousin finished sending a short telegram, the group took the tram home. It is said that after coming out of Quanjude, Xie Shuyao has been in a state of stupidity, and his brain has been thinking that after getting the date of Zhang Shaoshuai's arrival at Xie's house, how should he tell Zhang Shaoshuai that the Japanese are plotting against the three eastern provinces, and how can he be convinced of the wolf ambitions of the Japanese......
Bell-bell-
Xie's mother, who was sitting in the tram, glanced at her niece Bai Ruolin, who was silently silent, after mentioning Zhang Shaoshuai at the dinner table before, she stopped talking, and later sent a telegram to the second sister in the northeast at the telegraph office to report safety, Xie's mother understood that the telegram mentioned that Zhang Shaoshuai was coming to Beiping. I don't know if the second sister will be in a hurry after getting the news? Presumably the second sister will come to Beiping soon, Xie Mu sighed softly without a trace-
Mother Xie, who sighed, focused her attention on her abnormal daughter today, why did her daughter react so emotionally today. Mother Xie knows too well that her daughter, who is not inferior to a man and is very strong, feels that her daughter is very abnormal today! Is it because you heard about Zhang Shaoshuai? Or is it because of something else? When her daughter was about ten years old, Xie's mother found that her daughter couldn't see through her own mind, and she suddenly became very good at learning, but her behavior became more rebellious, and she wanted to go to the south to make a revolution. Over the years, Xie's mother is most worried about her daughter, I remember when I was in Nanjing, my eleven-year-old daughter once stole more than 100 yuan that Xie's mother put in the closet, and left a note saying, 'Borrow 120 yuan, and pay it back on the day of the success of the revolution in the future, daughter's word', if it wasn't for Xie's mother to find out early, launched her father's relationship, and finally caught Xie Shuyao who was still on the boat on the dock in Shanghai, Xie's mother's father, Mr. Zhou, praised his granddaughter's deeds. After this incident, Xie's mother has always taken her daughter with her, and strictly controlled her pocket money, and even when her daughter went to college, she asked her daughter to go to Peking University, which was close to home, and did not want her daughter to go to Tsinghua University or Yan University in the suburbs, just to observe her daughter's thoughts at all times, for fear that her daughter would run away by herself again. Recalling his experience with his daughter over the years, a helpless wry smile appeared on his face, and his mother Xie, who came back to her senses, looked at her daughter who was quietly in a daze outside the car window, this is really a worry-free daughter! Xie Mu, who had a headache, closed her eyes and couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand and gentle.
Bell-bell-
The tram made a sound of bells, slowly fading away, Xie Mu took Bai Ruolin in front of her, deliberately leaving Xie Shuyao far behind alone, Xie Mu secretly glanced at her daughter who was immersed in her own world behind her, and then comforted her niece Bai Ruolin softly: "Don't worry too much, that Zhang Shaoshuai is not here for you, there is no need to be so nervous." โ
"Butโ" Bai Ruolin stopped talking and said with a somewhat uneasy expression.
"It's okay, when your father and mother come, we will go back to your grandfather's house in Shanghai together, and it will be fine. By the way, don't let your cousin Shuyao know about this, you know? After Xie Mu comforted her, she didn't forget to remind.
Bai Ruolin turned her head, glanced at Xie Shuyao, then turned her head to Xie Mu and nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "I know, I won't tell Shuyao." โ
โฆโฆ
When I got home, I saw that Xie's father was on the recliner in the courtyard, reading the newspaper leisurely, Xie Shuyao ignored the leisurely old Xie, and went straight to the phone in the back room. โ
"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again! Mother Xie opened her eyes and said softly to Father Xie's smile with a knife hidden.
Over the years, Father Xie has been too familiar with his wife's expression, so he habitually shows a flattering look, and says with a flattering smile: "I mean, this child is as beautiful as you." โ
Mother Xie, who turned her face away, sneered, glanced at Father Xie with slanted eyes, and then asked with a look of disbelief: "Is it?" โ
"Of course." Father Xie immediately spoke.
Father Xie didn't dare to look at his wife's squinting eyes, and immediately turned his face and smiled at Bai Ruolin on the side and said, "Ruolin! Your aunt didn't treat you badly at noon! โ
"My aunt took us to Quanjude to eat roast duck, the roast duck was delicious, and my cousin and sister Siting ate most of the roast duck. We've even brought back half of them! Bai Ruolin said it all in one go.
Father Xie said with a little sudden realization: "Siting? No wonder that girl just called and asked me to tell Yaoyao and ask Yaoyao to call her back. I asked what was going on, and she didn't say anything. "I forgot, I'll tell Yaoyao and ask her to call Siting back." Saying that, Father Xie wanted to turn around and leave.
"No need, Yaoyao is probably calling Siting now. Lao Xie, didn't my son come back today? How I didn't see him. Seeing that her son didn't seem to be at home, Xie's mother asked with some confusion.
"Oh, he came back after you left this morning, and before noon, he said that his classmates had something to do with him, so he went out again, saying that he didn't have to wait for him to eat at night, and he would come back after eating out in the evening." Father Xie saw that his wife suddenly cared about his son, so he told his wife about his son's departure.
Mother Xie was about to enter the house, but when she saw Father Xie, who was sitting on the rocking chair again and picking up the purple clay pot and drinking water, she suddenly thought of something, and turned back to Father Xie and said disdainfully: "You are really getting more and more useless!" Now I don't even dare to say a bad thing! โ
Poofโโ
Father Xie, who was drinking water, was choked by this sudden sentence. 'Poof', the water that came into his mouth was all squirted out at once, but fortunately, there was no one standing in front of Father Xie.
"Uncle, are you okay?" Bai Ruolin patted Father Xie on the back while holding back a smile and said with a smile to Father Xie, who was choking on water.
Ahem-"Ruolin, I'm fine. "Father Xie was choked by the water and couldn't help coughing, he didn't expect him to give in like this, and he was actually said to be 'unproductive', hey - his daughter-in-law has learned badly with her daughter in the past few years, and Father Xie coughed while blaming his daughter for the blame.
"I can even choke on drinking water, and it's really getting more and more boring! Ruolin, I have something to tell you, let's go! Mother Xie said disgustedly, and took Bai Ruolin's hand into her daughter Xie Shuyao's room.
Father Xie, who slowly stopped coughing, looked at the back of his daughter-in-law leaving with Bai Ruolin with resentful eyes, and secretly thought: If you hadn't said something suddenly, would I have choked on drinking water? I actually said that I was unproductive.
Father Xie, who was relieved, thought that his daughter-in-law had become as unreasonable as his daughter, and he was really getting more and more childish. My wife has been arguing with her daughter all these years, and when she was a child, her daughter was able to make her daughter-in-law angry to death, and she also said, "I wish I hadn't given birth to this daughter." Because at that time, the strong lady reasoned with her daughter, and every time she was defeated by the strange truth that her daughter came up with. Mother Xie has become like this, it is all given to her daughter, I really don't know who this daughter is like? It will save trouble if you get married early.
When Father Xie thought of this, his heart suddenly became nervous, and he calculated that his daughter was almost twenty years old, how many years could he still guard his daughter? At the thought of his daughter marrying another man, Father Xie was a little reluctant. can't help but be a little worried about her daughter's future, what kind of person will her daughter marry at that time? Is this man worth entrusting for life? And this girl's heart is still so wild, will she be angry with her in-laws when she marries in the future? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Father Xie became, and felt that it was necessary to tell his daughter how to choose a man in the future, what kind of man he couldn't want, and what kind of man was worth entrusting for life......
Father Xie, who felt that the situation was a little serious, did not immediately look for his daughter, but went into the study and closed the door, not knowing what he was doing inside......
On the other side, Xie Shuyao went straight to the phone placed in the house of his parents, picked up the small handle of the wheel on the phone, and shook it many times before answering the channel terminal station, and after telling the operator the number of the Xie family, it was transferred to the Xie family.
Xie Shuyao thought at first that the phone in this period was the kind of phone that dialed on the dial, but the phones that Xie Shuyao has encountered so far are all the kind of phones that need to be turned a few times to receive the terminal station, and then the operator will transfer to the line corresponding to the number you want to call......
After a while, someone on the other end of the line picked up the phone.
"Is it Sister Shu Yao? I'm Si Ting. There was a strange woman's voice with a mechanical voice on the other side, and Xie Shuyao could feel that the other party was still quite excited.
If Si Ting didn't say who she was, Xie Shuyao really couldn't hear who was on the other side. After all, in this era of telephone, there is no fidelity in calls, and it is very good to be able to make a sound.
Hearing some unfamiliar voices on the other end of the phone, Xie Shuyao was a little uncomfortable, and paused slightly, but quickly reacted, and asked eagerly on the phone: "Siting, tell me quickly, when will Zhang Shaoshuai come?" โ
"Don't worry, Sister Shu Yao, don't forget my Quanjude roast duck! Four! Xie Siting emphasized the previous conditions again.
Xie Shuyao, who was a little anxious, immediately agreed: "I remember, I must invite you to eat." Si Ting, tell me quickly. โ
"Well, I just asked my grandfather, and he said it was May 9th, roast duck, four, don't forget." After Xie Siting on the other end of the phone finished speaking, she reminded.
Xie Shuyao really loved and hated this sister of hers, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, I know, when the matter is over, uncle, I will take you to Quanjude to have a good meal." โ
Hearing Xie Siting on the other side, he smiled and said, "I really don't know how to be ashamed, but I am still an uncle." That, Sister Shu Yao, I'll tell you a secret! โ
Xie Shuyao, who was in a good mood, subconsciously replied: "What secret?" โ
"After you hear this, don't say that I told you, and I will tell you."
Xie Shuyao heard this little girl say this, and she didn't know what she was going to say, so she agreed: "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you!" Say it! โ
"Brother Xie Chen seems to be in love."
"Oh-what? This kid is in love? Xie Shuyao thought it was something inconsequential, but she didn't expect it to be such a powerful secret.
"Eun--I saw him sneaking around with a girl at the school gate last Wednesday, and it didn't look normal." Hearing Xie Siting's voice on the other side, it was a little weaker, and she seemed to be saying secretly.
Since the two of them dare to go together, Xie Shuyao feels that it is very likely to be true that they are in love, and it is very abnormal for men and women to be alone together these days, and the idea of men and women being different is still very serious in society. Xie Shuyao fully realized this when he took the train from Pukou in Nanjing to Tianjin, when his father bought a second-class car, but fortunately, the second-class sleeping car was a four-person room, so the family did not have to be separated, and they could all be in a sleeping room, which was very lucky. (The second-class sleeping car here is a separate room, the kind with a door.) It's not like the open hard sleeper of today. ๏ผใ Xie Shuyao saw a family of three, the father and his son could only sleep in one room with two other men, and the mother of the family was in the same room with three other ladies who did not know, so the family of three was separated and could only come out during the day and meet in the corridor.
Xie Shuyao came back to her senses and threw all her questions into the microphone: "What does that woman look like?" Is it from your school? Do you know each other? โฆโฆโ
"Sister Shu Yao, you ask so many questions at once, how can I answer you!" Xie Siting complained a little.
"Then tell me first, is that girl from your school?" Xie Shuyao calmed down his emotions and asked again.
"Well, it's from our school, I inquired about that girl, her name is Zhao Ting!"
Xie Shuyao seemed to think of something, and was inexplicably panicked, and hurriedly confirmed: "Is she perming her hair?" Still prefer to wear white? โ
"Huh? Sister Shu Yao, do you know her? Xie Siting's question came from the opposite side.
Hearing Si Ting's words on the phone, Xie Shuyao's brows jumped a few times unconsciously-
