In Singapore in 1940, the old Chinese calendar year had just passed, the streets were filled with the sound of firecrackers, and the canopies of tall rain trees were dense and vibrant. The pale yellow spring flowers dance slowly in the warm breeze, beautiful and beautiful.

Skirting the wide street, a courtyard is deep, with tall twig-patterned iron gates locked.

Through the iron gate, the courtyard is planted with roses of pure white, pink, bright red and other colors, which complement the Yuhua stone path.

A sky blue sedan drove quickly to the door, honking its horn vigorously.

A maid in a Chinese robe ran to open the door.

This is a wealthy overseas Chinese family.

The car drove into the courtyard, and the feet in brown leather shoes poked out of the car, the brown trousers were straight, and the legs were slender, and the figure looked tall and straight.

He was a young and handsome man, with neat sideburns, a snow-colored shirt unbuttoned, and a thin layer of sweat soaking the ends of his nose.

"Mom, Mom!" Before he could set foot on the marble pier, he shouted loudly.

The housekeeper followed behind him and admonished, "Young Master Qingge, your voice is quieter, there are guests at home today......

Bai Qingge ignored it, and entered the living room in a hurry.

The hall is decorated with a long light brown cashmere carpet and a full set of Italian furniture, which is elegant and warm. In the crystal vase on the coffee table, white roses are fragrant.

Several women sat on the sofa, speaking softly.

Seeing Bai Qingge coming in, the middle-aged woman wearing a lake-colored embroidered cheongsam raised her eyebrows slightly, and said something back.

Bai Qingge called Mom, and then greeted everyone.

He knew all these people.

One is his fifth aunt Bai Qu, the other is his seventh aunt Chen Baiyunshao, and the other is his mother's friend Long Xia Caiwei.

"Mom, where's my dad?" Bai Qingge saw that his mother had a guest, so he swallowed what he wanted to say, and wanted to leave under the pretext.

"I'm running with your Uncle Li." Murong Hualou smiled, his eyes were gentle and loving. Over the years, she has been plumper than when she first came to Singapore, not as graceful as when she was a girl, but she is also charming, dignified and quiet.

"Our horse farm or Uncle Li's horse farm?" Bai Qingge got up and asked, "I'll take a look." ”

"Our family's West Garden." Murong painted the building, "Tell your dad not to be tired......

Bai Qingge sighed, turned around and ran out, and in a moment, the car in the courtyard drove away.

"Qingge is graduating from high school this year, right?" Qu Xiang asked Murong Hualou, "Sister-in-law, where does Qingge go to study?" ”

"Your eldest brother and I both want to send him to the United States, and his uncles are there to help me take care of him." Murong Hualou said with a smile, "This kid has been naughty since he was a child, and he can cause trouble in the blink of an eye, so I don't worry about him going out alone." ”

In the autumn of 190, Murong Qiandian had a bad time in Yuzhou, so he asked the painting building to help and moved his family to the United States.

Qu Xiang smiled: "Qingge is not a child who doesn't know the importance of it. But the United States is good, only the United States is quieter now, and in the future, our family will also be sent over with spring and rain, and there is just my brother to take care of ......"

Bai Yunzhan's Changbai Spring is seven months younger than Bai Qingge, the brothers only met four years ago, but they hit it off at first sight, and since then they have been playing around in the world and causing a lot of trouble.

Qu Xiang's second daughter is fifteen this year, two years younger than Bai Chunhe, and named Bai Yuxie.

"Fifth sister-in-law, aren't you looking for guilt?" Bai Yunshao pursed his lips and smiled, "You put Chun Ji with Qingge, I'm afraid that in a few days, the U.S. government will personally send the two of them back, and you will have to help deal with the aftermath ......"

Said the painting building and the others laughed.

At the beginning, the painting building went south, and after settling in Hong Kong for half a year, he came to Singapore. Bai Yungui led his troops to fight heroically, and he was also shrewd in business, bought a few estates by himself, engaged in rubber business, and concurrently engaged in rice and porcelain, and gradually became the most wealthy businessman in the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Along with Bai Yungui, there were Augustine and his wife, Tang Wan'er and Li Fangjing.

Li Fangjing's business is mainly in the entertainment industry. Soon after he arrived in Singapore, he married Tang Wan'er. But less than two years after marriage, the two looked like they were separated, and Tang Wan'er followed the British businessman, abandoned Li Fangjing, and left the country. Later, Li Fangjing always had confidantes around him, but he never had the idea of getting married.

Over the years, he has had a great friendship with Bai Yungui, and the two have become more and more like best friends, always playing cards, fishing, and running horses together.

Augustine was in the same business as Bai Yungui, and his lumber mills were all over Singapore.

Five years ago, the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was re-elected, and Augustine, who changed his name to Long Yong, was appointed president.

During the Spring Festival of the sixth year, Bai Yungui personally returned to Yuzhou and persuaded the Bai family to immigrate to Singapore. In the second year of Singapore, the old man was not in good health, and he passed away.

A month later, the lord suddenly went too.

He was in good health, he was not sick, he went very suddenly.

Bai Zhen said to them: "Dad can't leave his mother for a moment in this life." My mother went, and my children all got married, and my father had no worries in his heart, so he went with him......"

Now the Bai brothers are all working in Baiyungui's company, and they often come and go on weekdays, and the family is affectionate.

As he was talking, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in to report: "Madam, my uncle and grandmother are here......

Uncle and grandmother are Gao Pingsha, Murong Bancen's wife.

The painting building was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Where are the people?" Did she come alone, or did she bring Cher with her? Without waiting for the butler to answer, he went out.

Murong Xue'er is the daughter of Murong Bancen, ten years old this year, looks like Murong Bancen, more like Su, looks like the country, lively and cute, and likes the painting building the most.

When she returned, she was holding a woman in a purple short-sleeved dress, in her teens, elegant and beautiful, with long curly hair draped over her shoulders, mature and capable.

She is Murong Bancen's wife Gao Pingsha.

It's just that there is anxiety and worry in her eyes that can't be hidden, which is different from the usual practice and calmness.

Cai Yu and the others saw that it was clear, and they got up to say goodbye.

The painting building was also surprised, asked the maid to bring tea, and asked her, "What's the matter?" ”

Gao Pingsha held the teacup, her eyes were already wet, and her voice was slightly choked: "Sister, Bancen is gone......"

Bancen is gone......

"Gone?" Hua Lou frowned deeply, and a chill appeared in his heart, "You only came to Singapore for the Chinese New Year, and I didn't hear you raise the matter." How could it be gone? ”

Gao Pingsha raised her eyes, her eyes floating with water. She knew that the painting floor had misunderstood what she meant, and explained: "He left by himself." ”

After a pause, he said, "Sister, the eldest brother has become the president of the Lincheng Maintenance Association, do you know?" ”

Sustain the ......

Lincheng fell as early as the end of the eighth year.

When the painting building was six years old, he sent someone to pick up Murong Bancheng and Chen's mother, but Murong Bancheng refused the kindness of the painting building, he wanted to stay in Lincheng and refused to go anywhere.

Chen's mother had a difficult livelihood in Yuzhou, and returned to Lincheng in the early years.

The Chen family and Murong Huaying, who was already a wife, both hated the painting building, and they were even more unwilling to accept her relief and defend Lincheng. Later, the Anti-Japanese War started, the Central Plains was in chaos, and the painting building was cut off from Lincheng.

Murong Bancheng has not been heard from since.

Unexpectedly, he became a traitor!

"The motherland fought a bloody war of resistance, and the Chinese in the United States voluntarily established a disaster relief association, with Ban Cen as the manager." Gao Pingsha said, "We have contributed a total of more than 10,000 US dollars to support the motherland's resistance against Japan. Sister, you know that our family's income is all the business that my mother and grandmother left to me. The funds that can be turned over in my company have been given to Bancen.

When the motherland is in trouble, it is the duty of Huaxia's daughter to do her best to relieve her. But sister, Bancen is just a big music professor, but he always says that he wants to return to China to join the army! I didn't allow it, so he messed with me, and I took money from the company again and again to donate it to the Huaxia government, and he compromised...... Now, when he learned that his eldest brother had become a traitor, he left a letter and left, saying that he would throw his head and spill his blood and use his body to support the motherland to resist Japan......

He's not a soldier......" Gao Pingsha said at the end, her voice choked, and tears fell, "If he has a long and a short, what should I do, what should Xue'er do?" He just walks on his own, he ...... He also took Su Jie away! ”

"What!" Hualou's face turned purple, and he stood up suddenly, "When did he leave, is it too late to stop him now?" ”

"Ten days ago!" Gao Pingsha saw that the painting building was also anxious, so she pulled her to sit down, "Sister, I told my mother that their brother went skiing in Alaska, and said that there is a big deal in Hong Kong that needs to come in person, so I will go to Singapore to find your help...... There must be someone in my brother-in-law's old ministry who served in the army, can you ask me to help find it. If something happens to Su Jie, how can I explain it to my mother? ”

"Don't worry, you'll find it! They came back from the United States, and it was not so easy for them to enter the army. Hualou adjusted his emotions and tried to be as calm as possible, so that Gao Pingsha could feel at ease.

Then he called the housekeeper and asked him to send someone to Xiyuan Racecourse to find Bai Yun to return, and said that his uncle and grandmother were here and had an urgent matter to discuss.

Before the housekeeper went out, Bai Qingge came back.

"Auntie?" He stepped forward and hugged Gao Pingsha in surprise, "When did you come, uncle and uncle didn't come, and Xue'er didn't come?" ”

Then I noticed that Gao Pingsha's eyes were red, and she asked in surprise, "Why are you crying?" Is my uncle bullying you? ”

Gao Pingsha took his arm and smiled bitterly.

Bai Qingge looked at the painting building in confusion.

Hua Lou's eyes were a little stern, and he asked him, "Did you find your father?" ”

Bai Qingge shrugged: "No, they are not in the racecourse, when I went, the people in the racecourse said that Dad and Uncle Li had been gone for a while......"

Hualou got up and called Li Fangjing's garden.

The housekeeper over there said that their husband didn't come back when he went out in the morning, and went to the horse farm.

The painting building had to send the family's servants out to find it again.

"You live in Singapore first, and when there is news from China, I will ask someone to return to China with you." Painting Lou said to Gao Pingsha.

Gao Pingsha jaw.

In the evening, Bai Suyu, who went to play tennis with friends, came back and was also excited to see Gao Pingsha.

Gao Pingsha is very good at pleasing children, and brings them very exquisite gifts every time.

The servants sent to find Bai Yungui came back one after another, saying that they couldn't find the master.

The painting floor frowned slightly.

Usually, no matter what happens, Bai Yungui will come back on time at seven o'clock in the evening.

Today, after half past seven, Baifu opened dinner, and Hualou and others had dinner, but they still didn't see Baiyungui.

Instead, Li Fangjing's housekeeper was waited.
