Liu Yong looked sad and returned home with a heavy heart.

Yuhui looked at Liu Yong's appearance and asked with concern: "In charge, look at the way you are full of worries, whether you have encountered anything unpleasant."

Liu Yong said helplessly: You don't know, now the world is not very peaceful, it is said that the Taiping army has broken through Nanjing, some people say that in Liyang, Yixing and other places have seen the Taiping army, according to this, Nanxun is only a matter of time to be occupied, the imperial court is about to be unable to keep, not to mention a Nanxun town.

Yuhui anxiously asked: Then what should we do?

Liu Yong said: What should I do, thanks to the fact that I bought a house in Shanghai soon after, and the whole family went to Shanghai.

Yuhui said: Is it too peaceful when you arrive in Shanghai?

Liu Yong said: The Shanghai Concession is the territory of foreigners, how many heads does the Taiping Army have? They dare not take offense. Then he said: You go and tell Hong Ying right away, and organize the child's things and his own things, including Sister-in-law Ying. Mother there I went and said. I'll leave tomorrow.

Liu Yongniang's room.

When Liu Yongniang heard that she was going to Shanghai, she pouted and said to Liu Yong: I want to go to you, but I won't go. Shanghai is good, but I'm not used to it. I like this old house, what's wrong with the "spear"? Can't you eat my old woman?

Liu Yong smiled and said: We don't worry about leaving you here alone. In Shanghai, after all, the family is also lively together, and besides, life in Shanghai is also convenient, running water, flush toilets, everything.

Liu Yongniang said that she couldn't help Liu Yong, and reluctantly agreed to go to Shanghai together.

Yuhui hurried to Hong Ying's room.

Hong Ying is playing hide and seek with Dongmei and Qiumei.

As soon as Yuhui saw Hong Ying, she said: Sister, quickly tidy up the clothes of the two girls.

Hong Ying asked strangely: Why?

Yuhui said: It is said that the Taiping army has already reached Nanjing, and I am afraid that it will soon reach Nanxun, so we will all go to Shanghai, and you will also sort out your own, and we will leave tomorrow.

Hong Ying asked strangely: Where do so many people live?

Yuhui smiled and said: Don't worry, the two houses have already been bought, and it will be easy for more people to live.

Hong Ying said: Wow, I bought two houses in Shanghai.

Yuhui said: Yes, one is yours.

Hong Ying laughed and said: Sister, don't joke with me, I, Hong Ying, have dreamed all my life, and I won't want to buy a house in Shanghai, even if I sell myself, it's not worth the money of a house in Shanghai.

Yu Hui said seriously: Really, really, your brother Yong said, a building belongs to your name. If you marry later, it will be a dowry for you. If, if you, you really have made up your mind, you will be given a lifetime of pension.

Hearing this, Hong Ying hugged Yuhui, a sister, burst into tears, and cried. While crying, he said: Sister, the Liu family has no debt to me in the past life or in this life.

The next day, Liu Yong's family, large and small, rented a boat, with large and small bags, large boxes and small boxes, loaded a boat full of them, and went to Shanghai.

There are several boats going to Shanghai together, and it really feels like a smooth escape.

Along the way, the mood of the children and the adults was completely different, and they felt so novel, crawling in and out of the cabin, asking the adults this and that. And the adults are worried. When will I return from home this time? When the Taiping Army arrived in Nanxun, can they keep their old house? Where to stay in Shanghai?

Liu Yong and their cabin, Xiao Dongmei kept asking Hong Ying: Auntie, is Shanghai fun?

Hong Ying said with a smile: Shanghai is very interesting, and there are many big ships in the Huangpu River.

Xiao Dongmei asked: Then why is there no big ship in the river in front of our house?

Hong Ying smiled and said: The big steamer is very big, bigger than my house, and the big steamer in the small river in front of my house can't drive in.

Xiao Dongmei asked again: Auntie, is there anyone on the big steamer?

Hong Ying touched Dongmei's head and said with a smile: Yes, yes. When you arrive in Shanghai, your aunt will take you to see the big steamer.

Xiao Dongmei was so happy that she was in the cabin, clapping her hands and jumping. Oh! We're going to see the big ship. We're going to see the big ship.

The ship docked at the pier "Dada".

In the Huangpu River, all kinds of boats are flowing endlessly, and all kinds of rickshaws on the road are "tinkling". The winter plum and autumn plum are dazzled.

There are a lot of people and bags, and Liu Yong called a few rickshaws, which were a bit mighty, all the way to Xiafei Road.

When he arrived at a community on Xiafei Road, Liu Yong took out the key, opened the gate of the courtyard, and entered the courtyard, with a smile on everyone's faces.

Two villas with red walls and gray tiles are next to each other, scattered and inlaid in the greenery. A huge courtyard is a complete whole, surrounded by a variety of flowers.

Everyone was busy moving the things off the rickshaw.

Dong Mei took Hong Ying's hand and asked: Auntie, is this our home in Shanghai?

Hong Ying smiled and said: It should be.

Yuhui also interjected and asked Dongmei: Do you like it?

Dongmei said: I like it.

Yuhui asked again: Then which one do you like?

Dongmei innocently pointed with her hand and said: I live in this building with my aunt and sister, and my parents, parents and grandmothers live in this building.

Liu Yong said with a smile: It can be arranged according to Dongmei. Anyway, a yard with the same restaurant at the back is also convenient.

Hong Ying took Dongmei and Qiumei into the villa, upstairs is the bedroom, below is the kitchen, dining room, living room, only to see a crystal lamp hanging in the center of the living room, surrounded by sofas, carpets on the ground, everything looks elegant.

Hong Ying saw all this, but somehow, her mood became complicated, and tears came down. She was thinking back to a conversation with Yu-hye. Yuhui said seriously: "Really, really, your brother Yong said that a building belongs to your name." If you are married, it will be given to you as a dowry. If, if you, you really have made up your mind, you will be given a lifetime of pension "for life."

Hong Ying thought, this house belongs to her name? Before he died, the old club also said that the Liu family owed me a debt, and he was wrong. It's not the Liu family who owes me. I am just a descendant of the Liu family, I am Hongying, and the Song family owes it to the Liu family. What should I do? Hurry up and get out of here, and I can't bear Dongmei and Qiumei, although the child didn't fall off herself, but just like what fell off her body, the child also needs her. What should I do? Hong Ying burst into tears.

Liu Yong came in and broke Hong Ying's train of thought.

Liu Yong felt inexplicable when he saw Hong Ying like this, and asked with concern: What are you doing, is there anything unhappy, is it a small one that makes you angry.

Hong Ying shook her head.

Liu Yong asked: Then why?

Hong Ying waited for a while, hugged Liu Yong, rested his head on Liu Yong's shoulder, and burst into tears. said: Brother Yong, you treat me like this, this debt will not be paid off for the rest of my life.

Liu Yong only suddenly realized, touched Hong Ying's head, and said: Brother to sister, should, should.

then told Hong Ying that the tap water, as long as the old man was twisted, the water would come out; The toilet is ready to use, and it flushes away with just a touch of the hand.

Hong Ying didn't expect that life in Shanghai would be so convenient.
