Chapter 23

Long night

Is not afraid of "long story"

"I'm listening," he said, with a small face on his pillow

The man sat up, holding the quilt and long legs, silently lit a cigarette

Bright moonlight

Sprinkled on his face through the window, his handsome facial features instantly became a silhouette, half bright and half hidden in the smoke.

"Where to start?" He light smile, "what do you want to hear?"

"First of all, why do you look different from others? Are you of foreign blood? "

"This one?" He shaved his thick black brow with his thumb and turned his mouth with self mockery, "it's the root of my bad birth! My grandfather was a British aristocrat. Before liberation, he opened a big business on the Huangpu River. My grandmother was the daughter of a foreign comprador. She was educated in western style since childhood. Later, they got married and gave birth to my mother in Haishi. Her name was Jane and her Chinese name was Li Zhen, following my grandmother's surname. "

Denny got a general idea

Our ancestors were foreign "big capitalists" and "running dogs" selling foreign goods... This kind of background, in those turbulent years, would be despised by people, and perhaps would become the root of disaster.

Sure enough

Nanye sighed, "later, after liberation, my grandfather took his family back to England. My mother rebelled and ran away from the ship secretly. She ran into my father penniless. At that time, she was young and worshipped fighting heroes. My father was the first generation pilot in China. Although he was ten years older than her, he was only twenty-eight years old. She was a good match and married, I found that the difference in my life is too big.... "

He laughed helplessly. "When I was a child, I remember that they quarreled every day, fighting for all the details of life. My mother was a capitalist lady. She talked about food, drink and ostentation. She also spoke English with us every day. My father was used to marching and fighting, and he liked to" make do with "everything, and he didn't know how to be romantic. Later... The hardest years, My mom had a big fight with my dad on a rainy night and never came back

"Not back? That's... "

"Some say she threw herself into the river! I can't even find the body! Some people say that she has smuggled abroad and reunited with my grandfather! "

"And then?"

"Later? My father was still in power and cared about his life in the organization, so he arranged for him to remarry with the widow of a martyr. At that time, I was nine years old and my sister was fourteen. After two or three years... Er, when my father had an accident, our sister and brother left Kyoto, one went to Qinghai, the other went to the East and the north, and it took ten years. "

"Then... Didn't chang Hongyan say that your father returned to his original post? Why don't you go back? "

"There are many things in my family, my stepmother's side... Ah, a lot of lawsuits! It's better not to see! "

Two people talk until midnight unconsciously

Suddenly Bai Changxi coughed in the kitchen, "my God, why don't you go to bed? Is it over? I won't say anything tomorrow? "

This guy

Still listening to the window root?

With his tongue out, Denny put his head under the covers

Nanye also lay down, laughing, stretched out her long arm under the Kang Table, poked her waist across the quilt, and whispered in a low voice, "why is your father still like this? How funny

"Shh! Stop talking

Moonlight reflects her pure smile... Two people's mouths are hanging moving radian, looking at each other silently.

A wave of warmth spread in my heart

The room was awkwardly quiet

Suddenly

A few clear squeaks

A big dark mouse, half a foot long, with a long tail and red eyes, ran wildly in the room along the corner of the Kang

Every man has his weakness

She is not afraid of every day... She is afraid of the rat.

"Ao" of a, jumped up, straight to the man rushed to, speak all tremble, "South night! You go! Kill it

The man quickly jumped off the Kang, and in the dark, he "plopped" and fought with the mouse... The table and stool "banged" and the woman "howled" in the room.

This busy

Bai Changxi shrinks his neck and laughs on the Kang! Give me a big grandson!

For a long time

The mouse squeaked and ran away along the corner

The man was wearing a Navy shirt and thin autumn trousers. He was a big man of 185. He was very mature, but he looked like a child. Standing on the ground, he showed his hand innocently, "what should I do during the day? I didn't catch it

He got on the Kang and coaxed her softly, "don't be afraid! I'll sleep outside and block it for you! Huh? It's all right! "

After that, he pushed his mattress against the wall, put the Kang Table on the ground, put his blanket next to her, and lay down

There's no way

You can't stand all night with your eyes open

Denny lay down, too

Clear eyes lifted

As far as you can see

It's a man's mountain back

**

The next morning

She just opened her eyes

I heard the "wipe" sound of shovel in the yard.

Bai Changxi picked up the curtain and went into the room... Seeing that the bedding on the Kang was head to head, he couldn't help laughing, "my God, get up! Nanye is making cement outside. He says there is a hole in the corner of your house. I'm afraid of rats. I'll plug it up today! By the way, do a good job of repairing other places as well! "

"Ah Denny sat up and looked into the yard through the window... Nanye was working with his head down. He was holding the handle of the spade tightly with his thick palm. The sweat on his forehead gathered into water drops on his chin, and twisted along the Adam's apple into the collar bewitchingly.

She turned and was about to go down

I saw a soldier walking slowly into the hospital... Yellow uniform, blue pants, glittering red star, is a unsmiling face.

Fang Shouxin?

That's fast enough!

Not a day later

Did you find it?

What on earth is he going to do?
