thirteenth
At daybreak, the owner of the Natural Photographic Studio, Xia Xinfa, walked into the Delightful Pavilion Teahouse on the northern side of the long bridge with a birdcage in his hand. He handed the special Longjing tea leaves to the tea waiter, Six. He thought the tea used in the teahouse was bad, so he gave it to the teahouse as a side income.
He looked at the north and south halls. There were only a dozen or so tea customers. They were all locals and he knew them. However, he didn't usually come and go. He only smiled at them and walked towards the south hall. He hung the birdcage by the window, lifted the blue bird cage curtain, and sat down on the bench by the window.
The tea waiter Ah Liu brought the teapot over and said with a smile,""Boss Xia, you're really early today. Have some tea." He was also a person who didn't like to talk. It was only because for more than ten years, Xia Xin always left him a pot of tea leaves as a side income, so he especially fawned over him.
Xia Xinfa just smiled and handed a Peony brand cigarette to Six.
Six put the cigarette in his ear and said," Thank you," before walking away.
Xia Xinfa slowly filled the teacup with tea. He picked up the teacup and smelled the fragrance of the tea before drinking the sweet tea. He didn't listen to the cries of the myna in the cage, or look at the lush Qianyuan Mountain outside the southern city wall, or look down at the clear Qingxi River and the various boats on the river. He had heard about Luo Yuzhen's second visit to the county government, and he had come early today to hear what the tea guests had to say about it.
Joy Pavilion was the largest teahouse in D City, and the people in the city loved to have their morning tea here. In recent days, this matter had been treated as a special news that shocked the entire city.
Some said that the widow of the Hua family had eaten the guts of a leopard. She dared to wear mourning clothes and barge into the county government, arguing with the county magistrate, trying to overturn the iron case set by the people's government for her late husband, Hua Shiliang. This was a blatant provocation to the great party and a play against the current counter-revolutionary movement! The Great Party defeated Jiang Jieshi's eight million troops with thunderous momentum. In the past, those bureaucrats, landlords, bandits, and gang leaders in this city who could overturn the sky with a word and split the earth with a stomp of their feet were arrested and killed by the Great Party whenever they wanted. Luo Yuzhen was a weak woman who could be blown away by the wind. How could she overturn the case set by the Great Party? This woman was really tired of living! Everyone in the Hua family was as crazy as their boss, the crazy monk.
Some people said that it was hard to say if this case could not be turned over because Hua Shiliang was a well-known good man. If doctors did not die, then there would not be anyone who died in this world. The people's government was pragmatic and might investigate again to find out the truth and turn this case over. He even cited the case of the Xu and Cai families in D City during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. The Cai family's daughter was killed by the Xu family's son. The Cai family reported to the county government. The Xu family bribed the government with money and falsely accused the Cai family of extortion. The Cai family, who had been convicted, refused to accept it. They reported it to the government, the province, and all the way to Jingdou. Only then did the case be overturned. The Xu family's silver was gone, and the head fell to the ground. The Cai family was a scholarly family. Once they had a nerd temper, they would have a fearless spirit. The Hua family was also full of educated people. They were all bookworms. Widow Hua had studied in the provincial girls 'middle school when she was young and was a top student. This time, she must have been wronged. The bookworm's arrogance had been triggered. The weak woman was not weak anymore. Today, she dared to break into the county government. Tomorrow, she would definitely break into the provincial government and Beijing. The Great Party was pragmatic, and Widow Hua would turn this case around sooner or later.
There were also people who said that how could they compare a feudal dynasty with a great party? Moreover, the Xu and Cai families were involved in a criminal case, while the Hua family was involved in a political case. The political cases of the past dynasties were the most difficult to solve. It could be said that whoever solved it would be unlucky. Widow Hua could not turn this case around no matter how sharp her mouth was or how bold she was. It was always wrong to treat someone to death, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The government only labeled the dead as counter-revolutionary and did not make things difficult for the living. After a person died, it was the same whether she wore a hat or not. Widow Hua was also doing something unnecessary.
Everyone was talking about it. Most of them sympathized with the Hua family and felt sorry for Luo Yuzhen.
Xia Xin drank two cups of tea in a depressed manner. He saw that there were already six or seven people sitting at the table beside him, and they were discussing the Hua family's matters again. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Zhou Shouxuan finished the three yuan cake and drank his black tea. He said,"The person is already dead. So what if the counter-revolution is decided? He couldn't drag the dead out of the coffin, hold a public hearing, and shoot them a few times. Why bother to overturn the case? Would the Great Party comply? Since it was decided, it became an ironclad case. He could only blame his bad luck. People's fortunes were determined by fate. Just think about it, Hua Shiliang's medical skills are considered a tripod in this area. There were many patients who had already stepped into the depths of hell, but they were forcefully pulled out of their coffins by him. It was a coincidence that they had lost their lives on that cadre. This was like a ghost touching their heads. The great party had just conquered the world, so they naturally prevented people from causing trouble. After killing their officers, they did not care whether they were intentional or not. Those who weren't implicated and were still alive could already be considered to have a bright forehead. He even bumped into it himself. An egg hitting a rock. The unlucky ones were still alive. Sigh! It seems that the Hua family has also declined."
Xu Jingfu, the owner of the fruit store who was playing with the Hua Mei birds at the window, gloated over the Hua family's misfortune because his father had a feud with the Hua family. He turned around and said,"The prosperity and decline of a family all depend on whether the ancestors accumulated virtue or not. The Hua family's ancestors accumulated wealth but did not accumulate virtue, which is why they have today.”
Qian Yangyi, the owner of the sugar store, heard this. He was still in contact with Hua Shiliang when he was alive, so he was not convinced. He smiled at Xu Jingfu and said in a seemingly arrogant but actually contemptuous manner,"Your ancestors were virtuous. The lawsuit during the Daoguang period declined, and during the revival of the Republic of China, the Japanese burned down your property on Jiaxing Street, forcing you to jump on the fruit boat. In just a few years, you've become a big part of the fruit store. The fruit merchants in the neighboring counties have to go through your hands. Otherwise, the goods will be dumped into the Suzhou River when they reach Shanghai. You're in the limelight now, and it can be considered that your ancestors who fell to the ground have accumulated merit.”After saying that, he walked over to Xia Xinfa's table and sat down.
The Xu family's ancestors were originally the wealthiest family in D City. Because of the court case in Daoguang this year, their descendants were ashamed to talk about this matter. At that time, someone made up a play based on this case, called "The Story of Black Bones." It was a true mockery of the Xu family's ancestor's evil deeds. The descendants of the Xu family spent a lot of money to buy the script and burned it. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Xu family bought a commander-in-chief. He was ruthless and only served as a commander-in-chief for three years. He actually bought the burnt real estate in Jiaxing. Xu Jingfu started off with a load of peaches and relied on the help of his mistress to get rich. He didn't care about anyone except Qian Yangyi. Qian Yangyi was rich, but she knew too much about his relationship with the mistress in Suzhou. He could only roll his eyes at Qian Yangyi and turn around to adjust his eyebrows.
Xia Xin didn't like to make friends and only made friends with Qian Yangyi. It was Qian Yangyi who took the initiative. He was happy to hear Qian Yangyi say that about Xu Jingfu. He poured tea into Qian Yangyi's teacup and handed her a cigarette. Just as he was about to speak, Weng Zitang sat down beside Zhou Shouxuan with a teapot in his hands. He had always looked down on this Weng Zitang. Recently, because Weng Zitang often said things that hurt the Hua family in the teahouse, he was even more disgusted. He was afraid that he couldn't speak up for the Hua family in public, so he could only endure it and pay attention to Weng Zitang's words.
As soon as Weng Zitang sat down, he said,"The widow of the Hua family thought that she had an iron mouth and went to the county government to make trouble again. Hey, a counter-revolution is a counter-revolution. Is the great party afraid of your iron mouth? Bah! The county head ignored her and even wanted to convict her of defending the counter-revolution. She deserved it! Even if she had to deal with such a person severely, she should be labeled as a counter-revolutionary and sentenced to jail! --”
Xia Xinfa couldn't stand it anymore, he slammed the table and scolded Myna in his birdcage,"You beast, you're already so big, yet you're still chattering like a ghost. You're not a human to begin with. You're an insect or a beast. How can you scold people!”He looked forward to Weng Zitang's reply so that he could take this opportunity to teach this "Old Drug Worm" a lesson---this was Weng Zitang's nickname.
Weng Zitang could tell that Xia Xinfa was pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree. He was furious and was about to stand up to question.
Zhou Shouxuan reached out and pressed on his shoulder, saying in a low voice,""Boss Weng, we meet every day. Why bother? She's not easy to deal with.”
Weng Zitang was also strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He thought that Zhou Shouxuan's words were right. If they really made a fuss, he might not be able to get an advantage. They had all watched her grow up. Who didn't know who she was? Xia Xinfa usually didn't offend people, but when he was really angry, he would fight with his life. Besides, he didn't mention his name, so why take it so seriously? Seeing the seller of sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks come over, he bought some sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks and ate them silently.
Qian Yangyi was originally dissatisfied with Weng Zitang's words, but she knew what Xia Xinfa meant, so she continued,""You haven't heard the cries of the white-headed dragon. The cries of the white-headed dragon are worse than the cries of ghosts!”After saying that, he looked at Weng Zitang and smiled.
Weng Zitang was even more furious, but he didn't dare to flare up. If he couldn't deal with one person, it would be even more difficult to deal with two people. He simply stood up and walked away, cursing in his heart."Damn it, one day I will skin you alive.”
Weng Zitang had left, but his words were left behind. The customers at this table started discussing what he had said. They all believed that what he had said was extremely accurate information. They thought that the county head had really turned his back on them, and the great party was really going to punish Luo Yuzhen. Not only could the Hua family's case not be overturned, but it also added a counter-revolutionary. Luo Yuzhen was asking for it.
These discussions were scary, but Xia Xinfa didn't believe that Weng Zitang was telling the truth. Weng Zitang wasn't a government official, so how could he know the county head's attitude and what was going on in the county government? Moreover, Weng Zitang had always been unpredictable. A dead cat was like ten dead cows in Weng Zitang's mouth. If a woman fell, she would become a man who fell off the city wall and died. He was sure that Weng Zitang hated Western medicine and the Hua family, and he was intentionally cursing them. He didn't believe that the case couldn't be solved. He had heard from his junior brother Zhang Haitao that the Great Party was very real. If it was right, they would persist. If it was wrong, they would correct it. He felt that Hua Shiliang's case was a little unjust. Hua Shiliang was very kind-hearted and wouldn't use a doctor to kill someone. If that was the case, Luo Yuzhen would be able to turn the tables. He knew Luo Yuzhen too well. She would not give in to others if she was reasonable and would not speak if she was unreasonable. She would endure everything first. Once she could not tolerate it, she would not give up. She would never back down. He only felt that it was not the right time for her to overturn the case, because now was the climax of the counter-revolutionary movement, and it was inevitable that she would suffer. He was worried about this.
If Weng Zitang cursed another woman, he, Xia Xinfa, would not be angry. He wasn't someone who cared about important things. He was angry because he had a relationship with Luo Yuzhen when he was young and regretted not being able to have her.
That was twenty-two years ago. That year, he, Xia Xin, was a student at the Hangzhou photo studio. On the day of Qingming, Luo Yuzhen went to take a photo. After taking the photo, she realized that her wallet had been stolen. She was anxious and embarrassed. Xia Xinfa heard her accent and knew that she was from the same hometown, so he lent her money and paid the bill. The next day, she returned the money and gave him a shirt as a token of her appreciation. He asked her to stay for tea, exchanged names, and even talked about some family matters. Only then did he know that her parents were also poor teachers. It was her grandmother who supported her to attend a girls 'high school. He found that she was not only beautiful, but also elegant in her speech. She was also generous and had the bearing of a lady from a noble family. After she left, he missed her very much. After wandering around for a while, he plucked up his courage and specially enlarged her one-inch half-body photo to twelve inches and went to the girls 'high school to look for her.
Luo Yuzhen received him generously. After looking at the enlarged photo, she was even more grateful. Because she didn't say much and there were other female students beside her, he felt a little embarrassed and left. She politely sent him to the school gate and wanted to give him the money for the enlarged photo. He said,"You give me a shirt, and I'll give you a photo. I'll return the favor."”She no longer insisted. "Thank you!"
He went to the girls 'high school for three consecutive Sundays. Every time, she would be reading and doing her homework seriously, unlike other girls who went out to play on Sunday. She received him warmly every time and was not reserved. On the third Sunday, when she sent him to the school gate, she said,"Please don't come looking for me in the future. It's not that I'm annoying you, but I'm afraid that I'll delay my studies and that my classmates will laugh at me. I'm really sorry."
He didn't dare to disturb her and restrained himself. A month passed like a year. He missed her so much that he went to a girls 'high school. However, he did not dare to step into the school gate rashly. He always felt that there was a kind of temperament in her amiable face that would not allow others to go against her decision. He wandered around the school gate for more than half an hour when he heard a soft call behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the woman he had been thinking about day and night.
She smiled at him and did not invite him into the school. She said,"What's the matter?"
He also said frankly," No, I just wanted to chat with you. If you're free and don't hate me, I'd like to invite you out for a walk.”
She was very happy and openly followed him to the Sixth Park. She listened to him ramble on for a while before asking him,"How many years have you studied? Why didn't he continue his studies when his family was so well-off?”
He didn't hide anything." My father wants his son to become a successful person. He can't wait for me to graduate from university. However, whenever I saw books, I would have a headache. I often stuffed my bag behind the temple's statue and acted wildly everywhere. After barely finishing primary school, I threw my bag away and got beaten up by my father. He had no choice but to be his only son. Two years ago, I went to Hangzhou with my father to visit the owner of the photo studio. Perhaps it's fate. This boss has taken a fancy to me and wants me to be his disciple. My father thought that the photography industry was considered noble, and this boss's skills were good, so he agreed. It's strange that I have a headache when I see books, but I understand photography skills very quickly. My dad wants me to go back and open a photo studio after three years, so I'm not like other people who only specialize in learning. I have to learn everything from taking photos to drying and so on. I'm not boasting that I'm a faster learner than others. I enlarged and edited that photo of yours. Master said that my enlarged photo was the best. I think it's probably your photo. I was afraid that you would laugh, so I worked especially hard.”
They went to the autumn moon in the calm lake to sit for a while and played until the lanterns were lit up. He wanted to treat her to dinner, but she insisted on going back to school. He begged her so much, but she still smiled and said goodbye. She didn't even let him send her off.
They went out once a week, mostly on Saturday nights. She was very punctual and kept her promise. Once she agreed, it would come rain or shine. It would never be past eight o'clock at night, and even when he was having a good time, he would stop abruptly and say,"Goodbye!"”She went back to school alone. No matter how much he begged, it was useless. She didn't say much, only listening to him talk about everything. She always had a smile on her face and rarely made a sound. Only when he pointed at the rose and said it was a rose, pointed at Su Xiaoxiao's grave and said it was a famous prostitute from the Tang Dynasty, did she laugh. She loved peace and quiet, so they often strolled around the area where the autumn moon hung over the calm lake and the orioles hung over the willows. She loved to admire the flowers carefully and listen to the birds chirping quietly. Every time it was time, she would often recite some poems of the ancients. Unfortunately, he did not understand. However, he still looked at her seriously and listened carefully. Because from the expression on her face, he could tell if the poem was happy or sad. She could walk and sit with him. It seemed very casual, but it was actually very solemn. They had known each other for more than half a year, but they were not allowed to walk or sit side by side. She did not object to him treating her to a meal. She only allowed him to order two or three dishes for a small drink and did not allow him to spend a lot of money. She looked very easy-going, but her self-esteem was very strong. She could not be forced to do anything. When it came to something she did not want, he would waste his breath even if he said it out loud. Once, when they went to Yangbatou to play, he said he would go into Gao Yuantai to take a look. She happily followed him in. He wanted to cut a piece of wool material for her to make a coat, but she said she didn't want it. He insisted on cutting it, but she left. If he sent it to school, she would definitely not want it. He had no choice but to take it back. Otherwise, she would say that she would never see him again. Not only was she good at appreciating flowers, but she was also good at admiring mountains and rivers. She could describe to him what was beautiful about it. He felt that being with her was too happy and blissful.
He had also vaguely revealed the news of his love to her, but she had told him very clearly that because you were kind and kind, I treated you as my brother, so I went out with you to play. I hope you don't have any improper thoughts. However, he was still full of confidence.
At the end of the year, she agreed to go back to D City with him. At that time, her grandmother was still living in D City. Her parents, who were teaching in Jia Xing, returned to D City every day for the New Year, so she had to go back to D City for the New Year. When they just got off the boat, the young man walking behind tripped on the rope and stumbled, knocking down the net of fruits he was carrying. Oranges and apples rolled all over the boat and were trampled by the people who got off the boat. He turned around angrily and wanted to scold him, but who knew that this young man was his classmate in primary school, Hua Shiliang. He could only grumble a few words. Hua Shiliang wanted to go ashore to buy it as compensation. The person on the boat said that they were going to sail, so they could only enter the cabin together. There were only two seats left, and Hua Shiliang politely gave them his seat while he stood at the side and watched 'Story of the Stone.' The ship left Gongzhen Bridge. Luo Yuzhen felt embarrassed and wanted to let Hua Shiliang sit. Hua Shiliang didn't want it no matter what. He compromised and pulled Hua Shiliang to sit beside him. After chatting for a while, he found out that Hua Shiliang was studying in Hangzhou Medical School, where he studied Western Medicine and Internal Medicine. He looked at Hua Shiliang's title and asked,""Do you have a record of the stone? Are you talking about rubies, sapphires, or Taihu pebbles? Did you mention the hexagonal stone on the square mountain in D City?”
Luo Yuzhen looked outside the ship and laughed.
Hua Shiliang said," This isn't a study of minerals. It's a novel. It's also called 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. It was about Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.”
Xia Xinfa had loved watching dramas and listening to Pingtan since he was young. He had long known about Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. He also felt that it was ridiculous and laughed out loud.
Hua Shiliang, who didn't like to talk much, and Luo Yuzhen, who didn't talk much, got along well when it came to literature. They first talked about the Chinese classical novels, Water Margins, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Romance of the Gods, and Romance of the Western Chamber. Xia Xinfa was familiar with all these stories, but he was the one who talked a lot. Slowly, Hua Shiliang and Luo Yuzhen started talking about poems, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Dongpo, and Li Qingzhao. The two of them even recited the poems of these poets to each other. Xia Xinfa couldn't understand and lost interest. Luo Yuzhen was in high spirits. He was a little jealous and tried to change the topic a few times. However, they soon changed the topic to literature. What could he do? He secretly blamed himself for not reading enough.
Back in D City, Xia Xinfa also went to Luo Yuzhen's grandmother's house. She introduced him to her parents and told them that he was the new brother that she told them about. Her parents received him politely. She also felt that although he was uneducated, he was still kind.
Luo Yuzhen also followed him to visit Qianyuan Mountain, Fang Mountain, and Li Mountain. Because he tried his best to cater to her feelings, he talked and laughed. Even now, when he recalled it, he still felt that it was too pleasant.
After the New Year, the three of them returned to Hangzhou. He and Luo Yuzhen were still dating as usual, but Hua Shiliang was added. He also felt that Hua Shiliang was very honest, steady, self-restrained, and very tactful. He often enjoyed the scenery alone and did not disturb his conversation with her. It was just that he was too bookish and liked to recite a few poems. He was annoyed, but she liked to hear it. Hua Shiliang wasn't as active as him. He chatted and laughed, jumping and jumping, making her laugh. Only when Luo Yuzhen mentioned the book did Hua Shiliang open his mouth.
After Xia Xinfa finished his apprenticeship, he forced his father to return to his hometown to open a photography studio. Because of this, he even argued with his father because he wanted to stay in Hangzhou for another year, but his father refused. As soon as the photo studio opened, he let the camera hold him. He could only write to Luo Yuzhen. He wrote a lot of words, and Luo Yuzhen would sometimes point out which word was wrong and how to write it. She only joked with him once.
The second year after he returned home, he specially rushed to Tangxi to buy a basket of white sand loquats and asked someone to send it to her. He attached a note and mistakenly wrote "loquats" as "pipa". She replied with a poem,""Brother Xie, the pipa is small and exquisite. It is difficult to play the silent strings. It is delicious and difficult to chew.”He thought it was a love poem and read it over and over again, but he still couldn't understand it. He had no choice but to consult the Cai family's old scholar. The Cai family's old scholar could be considered good at understanding the meaning of poetry, but he could not understand it even after reading it a few times. She got a hint from the word "Brother Xie" in the poem, so she asked him if he had given her anything. When he said that it was a loquat, the old scholar burst into laughter. After listening to the old scholar's explanation, he suddenly understood and even laughed until his stomach hurt. When the old scholar heard that it was written by a girl, he clicked his tongue and praised,""What a talented woman! The poem was humorous and the words were beautiful. A genius, a genius!" He was even more in love with her.
Every time he sent a letter, Luo Yuzhen would reply. These few words were quite sincere, but they didn't include the sweetness that he desired. There were even a few letters that specifically asked him not to think too highly of himself. There was only the relationship between brother and sister between them. He wasn't discouraged. With his sincerity, he could break metal and stone. A woman who agreed easily was not a good woman.
After Luo Yuzhen graduated, Xia Xinfa proposed to her. Luo Yuzhen told him that she had fallen in love with Hua Shiliang and decided to hold a wedding at the end of the year.
Xia Xinfa was very angry and said,"Which part of me can't compare to Hua Shiliang!"”
"Each has its own autumn colors," Luo Yuzhen said calmly.”
"You should know that I love you too much!”
"Then you should know that he loves me very much too.”
"What about you? I don't believe that you don't love me."
"Yes, I love you, but this is only the relationship between brother and sister. To be honest, I've always respected and respected you as if you were my own brother. I have no other thoughts. If you want to go beyond this boundary, I can only tell you that I will only love Hua Shiliang forever!”
"Do you think I'm uncultured?"
"That's not the most important thing. The key is that the taste is compatible.”
"I'm not interesting?"
"You can't say that. Actually, you're very active and talkative. It's just that what you like to talk about isn't what I'm interested in. Even if we try to change the differences between us, it will be very forced. I won't accommodate you, and I don't want you to accommodate me. When I was with Hua Shiliang, not only did I love to smile, but I also loved to talk. I even competed with him because we had the same interests and interests. Besides, you do everything according to my mood, and you can throw away your pride to please me. I once told you that I don't like this. Hua Shiliang was different. If he felt that something was wrong, he would stick to his point of view. To fight for the right and wrong. He was really wrong. He only smiled silently and did not bow down. I like this kind of personality. He's also diligent and studious."
"Enough!" Xia Xinfa was annoyed and annoyed." In short, Hua Shiliang is the only superman in the world, while I, Xia Xinfa, am an insignificant villain in this world.”
"I didn't mean that. If I didn't treat you as a kind gentleman, to be honest, I wouldn't treat you like a biological brother.”
"I must marry you!"
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Why force it? To be honest, I respect you very much. This is also a very precious emotion. I hope you can cherish it. If you are willing, I also hope that you can become good friends with Hua Shiliang. He was kind and sincere.”
"I want to kill him!"
Luo Yuzhen smiled and said,"So I'll marry you?"”
"I'll kill you too!"
"You can take my life, but you can't take my heart!”Luo Yuzhen picked up the scissors on the table and handed them to him, saying,""Please!" She smiled calmly and raised her snow-white neck. She was really unafraid of death.
Xia Xin was completely convinced by this woman. He also hated Luo Yuzhen, but this hatred could not drown his deep love for her. He still went to their wedding. At the banquet, he had wanted to humiliate Luo Yuzhen, but when they came to toast him respectfully, his heart softened and he could not bear to hurt the goddess in his heart. He downed the two toasts gloomily.
Luo Yuzhen tried her best, Hua Shiliang was sincere, but Xia Xinfa still didn't want to get close to Hua Shiliang. He didn't even have the courage to enter the Hua Family. His heart ached when he saw Luo Yuzhen.
Xia Xinfa wanted to take revenge and anger Luo Yuzhen, so he married Sun Meiqin, the most beautiful woman in the city, at all costs. In terms of appearance, she was better than Luo Yuzhen. However, she was just a bunch of grass. In his own words, this Beauty Sun was just a flower vase that could lay eggs.”When she slept on the bed, he didn't want to do it, so she turned her back to him and slept soundly until dawn. She didn't say a single sweet word or show any warmth. Once he wanted to do it, she would do it with him endlessly, making him exhausted. When he hung the flag, she even called him a useless rooster. For 360 days a year, she would either watch a show, listen to Suzhou Pingtan, or play mahjong. It was really difficult to fall in love. He was even more saddened by the loss of Luo Yuzhen.
Luo Yuzhen gave birth to Bing Ying. On the day of her one-month-old, Xia Xinfa also went to the one-month-old banquet. He was impulsive and quietly said to Luo Yuzhen,"I'm still your protector. In the future, if you need anything, just open your mouth and I will definitely help.”He also wanted to fulfill his manly promise. During the war, the Japanese robbed Guanghua Clinic of its medicinal herbs. Xia Xinfa heard the news and took the initiative to send money, but Luo Yuzhen declined. Luo Yuzhen had never thought of troubling him. However, he fell seriously ill when he was thirty years old. Luo Yuzhen and Hua Shiliang both came to his door and worked tirelessly to cure his illness.
More than twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye, but Xia Xinfa still couldn't forget this elegant, dignified, stubborn and steady woman, nor did he forget the promise he had made.
Luo Yuzhen wanted to appeal for the dead Hua Shiliang. Xia Xinfa admired her in his heart, but he was also worried for her.
Qian Yangyi handed a cigarette to Xia Xinfa and leaned closer, asking in a low voice,"" Is the government really going to set up a four-dimensional project?"
"Don't listen to Medicine Insect's nonsense." Xia Xinfa said in a low voice.”
"Can this case be overturned?"
"Yes, she's not an ordinary woman with long hair but short knowledge. It was just a little difficult. Even if this case could be solved, it would be hard to deal with, and he didn't know how much pain he would have to suffer.”
"If you can't help, tell your junior brother.”
Xia Xinfa smiled bitterly and said,"The Great Party doesn't care about human feelings. He has to listen to the county head."”
"That's true." Qian Yangyi could only smoke and drink tea.
Actually, Xia Xinfa also wanted to help Luo Yuzhen. After thinking about it for a few days, he was still indecisive. Shidi was an impartial person and hated counter-revolutions the most. If he wanted to speak up for the counter-revolution, he had to have evidence, but he had no evidence that Hua Shiliang could not cure people to death. If he couldn't produce any evidence, not only would his junior brother criticize him, but he might even fall out with him. After all, he was already in his early forties. Although he didn't forget the promise he made when he was young and still had the heart, he didn't have the guts to go straight for it. Now, he had to weigh the gains and losses of everything and think about it repeatedly. He stood up and adjusted his myna, trying to get rid of the worry in his heart.
Xia Xin suddenly saw the nun walking from the south end of the long bridge to the north end. She thought to herself that if she was as close as a sister to Luo Yuzhen, she would definitely know about Luo Yuzhen's recent situation, so she might as well ask. Because he had already gone to the Hua family, Luo Yuzhen was very cold and unwilling to answer his questions. She did not want his help. He had just reached the door of the teahouse when Ru had already gone down the long bridge. He wanted to stop Ru, but he thought it was inappropriate. Because of her delicate appearance, the city called her " Living Guan Yin ". Many men wanted her but did not have the chance. If he stopped her, others would think that he had something to do with her. He had to be careful. Moreover, it was not convenient to ask about this in this place. He had no choice but to return to the window and adjust his myna, hoping to ease the worries in his heart.
Qian Yangyi saw Xia Shujuan walking into the teahouse with her school bag. He waved at her and said,""Brother Xinfa, your precious daughter is here.”Seeing that Xia Xinfa was ignoring her, she stood up and walked to his side." Your precious daughter is here."”
Xia Xinfa heard it clearly and quickly turned around, only to see his daughter walking in front of him. "Dad, what's wrong with you these past few days? You deliberately want me to starve!" Xia Shujuan said with an aggrieved expression.”
Xia Xin laughed and said,"Oh, I forgot to buy breakfast again."”She quickly gave the money to her daughter." Go buy some yourself!”
Xia Shujuan did not take the money and turned to leave.
Xia Xinfa quickly took down the birdcage, waved at Qian Yangyi, and chased after her. He pulled his daughter back and smiled." Daddy is muddle-headed. I'll buy it for you now." What do you want to eat? Dumplings? Garden? Three Yuan Cake?"
"I don't want anything!" Xia Shujuan said with tears in her eyes.”
Xia Xinfa only had such a delicate daughter, and he was very pampered. Seeing his daughter like this, he felt bad. She smiled and said,"It's my fault. I'll correct it next time."”He went to the snack shop and bought two meat dumplings. Then, he spent the extra money and asked his daughter to buy them. He watched his daughter walk away before he carried the birdcage home. As she walked, she thought of Luo Yuzhen and felt frustrated again.
