In the middle of summer, a sudden torrential rain hit.

The calm sea suddenly became stormy, and the waves rushed up, diluting the heat of midsummer.

The docks of Singapore's seaport are still buzzing with people at the moment.

It was getting dark, but the people were not gone.

The dock is lit up.

No one held an umbrella because the wind was too strong for the umbrella to hold at all, so I had to rely on a raincoat.

The vision was blurry, and the eyes could barely be opened.

At the seawall where the lights of the pier were not illuminated, a man stood quietly.

The darkness enveloped him, the rain poured down on him, and he wore a black raincoat, and his eyes looked at the undulating sea in the distance, like an immovable stone stake.

The rain hit his face, and he didn't notice it.

At half past eight in the evening, the long-overdue cruise ship finally showed its head in the rolling white waves.

The man saw it.

His originally relaxed posture was immediately straight, even a little stiff.

The corners of his lips had a strange arc, and he said silently in the wind and rain: "It's here, it's finally here." ”

His voice was so light that even he couldn't hear it clearly, but his lips opened slightly.

His hands were clenched tightly, and his knuckles were white.

He counted word by word: "One, two, three, four." Okay, that's it. ”

His expression was like that of a bloodthirsty beast, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was congested or weeping.

When the ship approached the dock, he didn't stop to watch, he didn't even have to look to know who the people were coming off the ship.

He turned, and in a moment disappeared into the darkness, without a trace.

——*——*——

Gu Qingzhou waited at the pier for more than two hours.

A heavy rain made the cruise ship, which originally docked at more than seven o'clock, delayed until half past eight, and it was late.

The torrential rain gradually subsided, but it did not stop.

Gu Qingzhou saw a familiar figure in the storm, and hurriedly beckoned: "Uncle, brother, Yingying." ”

Her voice was not loud, the dock was noisy, and there were waves and wind and rain, she thought she couldn't hear it, and when she was about to let the adjutant shout again, Gu Shao's eyes turned over.

He was slightly surprised.

He was originally carrying a lot of luggage, but at this moment, he threw it away, squeezed the crowd and walked over quickly, and arrived in front of Gu Qingzhou first.

"How do you pick it up in person? What if it rains? Gu Shao was very anxious when she saw that her raincoat was soaked and her hair was stained with rain.

Gu Qingzhou laughed: "Brother, it's been more than two months since I was confined, have you forgotten the time of the cruise?" ”

Gu Shao received a telegram from Gu Qingzhou three months ago, when he was in Nanjing.

Gu Qingzhou called him to report that she had given birth to two sons, twins.

She was the overseer of her public company and named her two boys, the eldest son was called "Kaichang", who was the heir of the next generation of the Si family; The second son is called "Bird Fang", and he is the bearer of the next generation of the Si family.

Gu Shao was still a little incredulous.

In his memory, he always looked like Gu Qingzhou when he was a girl, combing two long braids, a pair of watery eyes, and sitting in the living room of the Gu Mansion for the first time to eat.

In a blink of an eye, it has been a year since Gu Qingzhou arrived in Singapore.

"It's only been a year, and you're already a mother of two children." Gu Shaodao.

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "Three, I still have Yuzao." ”

At this time, the others also disembarked one after another.

Gu Qingzhou was surprised and delighted, and saw an unexpected person: Ye Shan.

She was stunned: "How are you?"

What are you doing here?

She was a little surprised.

Three months ago, Gu Qingzhou gave birth to a pair of twins, and sent a telegram to his uncle Sun Heming and Gu Shao, who were far away in Nanjing.

When she was in Nanjing, she had a close relationship with Sun Heming and his wife, and her aunt was a Singaporean, and she often said that she was not used to living in Nanjing and wanted to go back to her parents' home.

However, after all kinds of things stumbled, Sun Heming and his family did not come, but the Si family moved to Singapore first.

When Gu Qingzhou's telegram was sent, his uncle called back, saying that they planned to move over.

In addition to them, there are also the Ruan family and the Xu family.

Therefore, a large group of people came this time, Gu Qingzhou expected it, but he didn't expect Ye Shan to come.

"Didn't expect me to come?" Ye Shan saw Gu Qingzhou's surprise, "I just want to give you a surprise, otherwise I would have sent a telegram in advance." ”

"What a big surprise." Gu Qingzhou hugged her.

Behind Ye Shan, there was a person standing, holding an umbrella for her. Suddenly, Gu Qingzhou was slightly surprised, this person was actually Hua Yunfang.

On Hua Yunfang's left cheek, a new scar was added, from the tail of the eye to the wing of the nose, it was very deep and heavy, destroying his charm, and at the same time taking away the femininity on his face.

If it is a man with a solemn face, with such scars, he will look vicious, but with Hua Yunfang's face, it adds some masculinity to him for no reason, making his face look like a normal man at last.

"What should I call him now?" Gu Qingzhou asked Ye Shan with a smile.

"What else can you call it? Mr. Hua. Ye Shan said.

When Gu Qingzhou was in Nanjing last year, he often exchanged telegrams with Ye Yan, and at that time, Ye Wei also said that Ye Shan had only improved her relationship with Hua Yunfang and was not married.

Looking at their intimacy now, Gu Qingzhou couldn't be sure for a while.

Hua Yunfang saw her question and explained: "Mrs. Si, we are married, and we are planning to go to the UK for our honeymoon, and we will come to see you by the way." ”

Gu Qingzhou suddenly realized.

"Congratulations." Gu Qingzhou said.

One after another, people came down, and there were hundreds of people, all blocked at the dock.

Gu Qingzhou hurriedly said: "Come this way, the car is on the seawall." ”

In the crowd, Gu Qingzhou also saw Gu Shao's ex-girlfriend Xu Qizhen.

The Ruan family and the Xu family had planned to come to Singapore for a long time, but they had never been able to find a way.

Gu Qingzhou took everyone to a bustling street and chartered two restaurants before they all settled down properly.

Sun Heming's family, Gu Shao, Gu Ying, Ye Shan and Hua Yunfang were taken back to their residence in Singapore by Gu Qingzhou.

"This is Huamin District." Gu Qingzhou saw that they were surprised by the street, so he explained.

The streets here are very Hokkien style, and almost all of them are Chinese-style buildings.

Singapore is a British colony, known as the tri-state along with Malacca and Penang, and with the development of Singapore's oil, rubber and tin industries, it replaced Penang as the capital of the tri-state.

In Singapore, more than 70% of them are Chinese. Huamin has a power organization called the Huamin Security Department, which is almost as famous as the Governor's Palace.

The Governor is British, and the Guard Department of the Chinese Civil Guard Department is Chinese.

Two years ago, Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei returned to Pingcheng before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

At the end of that year, the war officially began, and at first it was a small war, but then it became more and more intense, and gradually began to be unified.

Because of the unknown situation of the war, many wealthy people ran out, and many came to Singapore. Not long after the start of the battle, the Overseer suddenly suffered from an old illness, which was very severe gout, and he could barely stand and walk on one leg; Si Qiongzhi had a teacher who went to the best hospital in Singapore, and was soon promoted to department director, and specially invited her to Singapore for an internship, intending to focus on training her; Gu Qingzhou is pregnant

, vomiting darkly. Si Xingpei thought about everything, and deliberately sneaked back from the Huainan battlefield for five days, made arrangements, and sent the whole family to Singapore.
