Several times in dreams

Chapter 76 Liberation
"Wanying! I absolutely disagree with this marriage!"

"Mother! Wenjing and Xizi are like-minded, Xizi is devoted to Wenjing, why can't it be?"

Meng Wanying persuaded Jiang's family patiently.

"Wanying! Don't you understand this? Although our family is defeated now, Wen Jing was born there. Even if we can't find a noble daughter-in-law like you, we can't marry Zheng Xizi!"

Jiang said sternly.

"What is his Zheng family? Old Zheng was a ghost when he was young, and he brought a child back when he went to the west to sell goods. The origin of this happy child is unknown. How can I let her in?"

"But mother...Xizi is alone now..."

Thinking of what Wen Jing said, Meng Wanying felt really sad for Xizi.

"Xizi is pitiful, but we didn't treat her badly. Didn't we help her during the six months her father was taken away? You asked Changsheng to send food and money to her. You think I really don't know?"

"mother……"

"Okay, stop talking! Mother knows that you are a kind-hearted child, but this important matter of marriage cannot be sloppy at all. Mother knows it well!"

What Jiang shi said was categorical, and Wanying couldn't say anything more for a while.

After hiding at home for a few months, Wen Jing couldn't help but want to go out to see Xi Zi, but was dragged back to the house by Jiang Shi and scolded.

"You don't want to die? You finally ran back, and it's over if you get caught by the national army again! Are you trying to piss me off because of a dead girl?"

Just as Wen Jing was about to rebel, the door was knocked open.

Changsheng ran back from the outside out of breath, "Liberated! Liberated!"

"What? What liberation?" Jiang didn't understand, and said in a cloud of fog, "Then close the door quickly!"

"No! Liberation! There is no need to close the door, the second young master is fine! The national army surrendered, and they all ran away!" Changsheng shouted excitedly!

"What? The national army has escaped?" Meng Wanying hugged Yuhui, heard Changsheng's words, and ran out of the room with Wenlan.

"Yes, surrendered! Just now I went to the street and saw that the street was full of People's Liberation Army. I heard that the head of the regiment Hou ran away overnight, and the sky changed overnight!"

"Mother! We've made it through! We don't have to worry anymore!" Meng Wanying hugged Yuhui happily and turned around twice.

"The People's Liberation Army is really powerful! They liberated us without firing a single shot!" Wen Lan was also very happy, because her military shoes were not in vain.

Wen Jing didn't say a word, and ran out of the door. He wanted to tell Xizi the good news quickly.

"Look at this kid in a hurry!" Meng Wanying pursed her lips and smiled.

Wen Jing quickly ran outside Xizi's house, collected himself, took a deep breath, and pushed open the courtyard door.

I haven't seen her in a year, and Xizi hasn't changed much. She's wearing a patterned padded jacket with patches piled on top of her. She's drying her laundry in the yard.

Early in the morning, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers was heard on the street. I don't know which family's daughter is getting married, and I don't know which family is getting married.

Xizi was not in the mood to go out to watch the fun, her father and Wen Jing were both arrested and sent to the front line, life and death were uncertain, she dared not even think about getting married, she just hoped that they would come back alive and be thankful!

Turning his head, there was a person standing at the door. He didn't hear when he came in. It seemed that he was very distracted!
"What are you doing?" Zheng Xizi sternly shouted, there are too many hungry and homeless people these days, they just break into their homes casually, what do they want to do?
The man stared at her without saying a word, Zheng Xizi felt terrified, he saw that the man was tall and thin, with a sharp face and deep sunken eyes, why did he look so familiar?

Zheng Xizi covered his mouth, is it Wen Jing?
She took two steps closer, looked at it carefully again, yes, it was Wen Jing!

Zheng Xizi rushed over fiercely, hugged Wen Jing and burst into tears, beating Wen Jing's back shoulder while crying.

Wen Jing just hugged her silently, stroked her head with one hand, and let her cry and beat her.

After crying enough and fighting enough, Zheng Xizi thrust the back of his hand into his mouth and took a bite!
"Ouch", it hurts!

"It's not a dream! Idiot!" Wen Jing said the first sentence.

Zheng Xizi closed her eyes, leaned on Wen Jing's shoulder, and smiled reassuringly.

But in the blink of an eye, she remembered something again, and looked outside the door twice over Wen Jing's shoulder.

"Where's dad? Why didn't you come back?"

Wen Jing didn't speak.

Zheng Xizi lifted his head from Cong Wenjing's shoulder, grabbed his arm with both hands, and looked at him.

"Dad isn't with you? You two separated?"

"No, we've been together."

"Then why didn't dad come back with you?"

"I escaped back!"

"You bastard! Why didn't you run away with my father! How could you leave him alone!" Zheng Xizi widened his eyes and waved to hit Wen Jing.

Wen Jing suddenly hugged her in his arms, hugging her very tightly.

"Listen to me, your father died of illness a few months ago, I couldn't bring him back, there were dead people everywhere, and I was almost beaten to death when I ran away..."

“啊啊啊啊啊啊！你混蛋！爹啊啊啊啊啊啊……”郑喜子尖叫着，胡乱骂着，哭着，直到用尽力气，身子软绵绵的向地上溜去。

Wen Jing quickly picked her up and walked to the main room.

Xizi wept weakly in Wen Jing's arms, first happy and then sad, extreme joy begets sorrow, that's all.

Exhausted Xizi fell asleep, Wen Jing hugged her like this, looking at the tears on her face, Wen Jing secretly swore that he would give Xizi a complete and warm home, and would not let her feel sad again .

At this moment, Li Mengxian was fidgeting at home.

Meng Xianlun fled to Shanghai last night. Originally, he was unwilling to leave. Although he worked in the police station of the Nationalist Government, he was only a small clerk, not even a member of the Kuomintang.

Even during the Japanese puppet period, he could push back Shangfeng's orders whenever he could, and he never did anything harmful to nature, why did he run away?
But Uncle He Xizhi kept threatening him, saying that the People's Liberation Army was coming and would shoot them all, so he dragged him away like this.

Meng Xianlun wanted to take Wanqiu away with him. Anyone in the police station who wanted to leave brought his family with him, but Xu Wanqiu refused. Not only refused to go with him, but also persuaded him to stay.

Although Meng Xianlun is usually smooth-tongued and slick, he has always had no ambitions and timidity, and once he comes and goes, he loses his mind.

He Xizhi dragged him to the police station, and tried to persuade him: "I am your uncle, can I harm you? Don't worry about it, go to Shanghai to avoid the limelight."

Helpless, Meng Xianlun had no choice but to leave with He Xizhi. He naively thought that he would bring Xu Wanqiu to Shanghai when he stabilized.

Unexpectedly, he thought of Shanghai, which was completely different from what he expected.

People panic everywhere, everyone is thinking about their own affairs, the most frightening thing is that it is impossible to go back.

Meng Xianlun was extremely depressed and couldn't communicate. He worked in the temporary department every day and didn't have much work to do. He was thinking wildly all day long, otherwise he would be in a daze.

When he returned to the dormitory after work, Meng Xianlun had nothing to do. He began to miss home and late autumn, especially when there was only one person left, and he was so lonely that he went crazy.

So he wandered around the streets of Shanghai after work and had nothing to do.

On this day, he passed by an exquisite jewelry store and couldn't help but go in to have a look. He wanted to buy something for Wanqiu when he returned home.

The clerk patiently helped him recommend one model after another, but he never found the one he wanted.

Suddenly, Meng Xianlun found a pair of pearl earrings covered by a glass cover on an elevated glass cabinet.

Huge light pink pearls, inlaid on a rose-patterned base, shone with a soft luster under the bright light, noble yet elegant, and Meng Xianlun caught his eye.

"I want this!"

"I'm sorry, sir, but this was ordered by another customer."

A thick male voice sounded behind him, Meng Xianlun turned around and saw that it was his cousin Qin Haichuan.
