After the Republic of China

The hot summer is over, and the morning breeze is very refreshing.

Shao Yunshi and Lingzhu didn't enter the house and sat directly under the flower stand in the yard.

The attentive Ximei has already wiped the tables and chairs.

Shao Yunshi stopped Ling Zhu's intention of pouring tea and said: "Didn't I say earlier that my uncle was in the army in Wuhan, so I asked him to inquire about brother-in-law Chang."

The two had known each other for many days, and they were kindred spirits. It was rare for Lingzhu to have friends with whom he could talk, so he had already told Shao Yunshi about his affairs with the Chang family.

Therefore, Shao Yunshi also called Chang Shanchun Chang's brother-in-law in front of Ling Zhu.

When Ling Zhu heard this, surprise burst into his eyes, "Really? Is there any progress?"

She said this with some anxiety, after all, she had been disappointed too many times.

Shao Yunshi understood her mood, sighed slightly, and advised: "Don't worry, since brother-in-law Chang went to a military school, it can't be wrong. After all, the school has files."

This is correct, Ling Zhu nodded angrily.

Seeing that she was getting better, Shao Yunshi said: "I just received a letter from my little aunt, saying that there is a person whose situation matches Brother Chang's. This person happens to be working in Wuhan. I just don't know if he is the person you are looking for. .”

What Ling Zhu heard was like a thunderclap. Even though she had been mentally prepared just now, her heart was beating so fast that she almost couldn't breathe. She was so confused that she didn't know how to answer the question.

Seeing her like this, Shao Yunshi felt sad for her, and also lamented the sadness of leaving someone in troubled times.

Ximei's sharp eyes and quick hands have already started to help Lingzhu caress her chest.

Shao Yunshi also pinched the acupuncture points on her hands for her.

After a while, Lingzhu's heartbeat finally returned to normal. She smiled sheepishly.

Seeing that she was getting better, Shao Yunshi said again: "Don't worry, take a look at the photos here first. If so, everyone will be happy."

Afraid that Lingzhu's mood would fluctuate again, she didn't say 'if not'.

After being urged by Shao Yunshi, Lingzhu finally came back to life, and without being shy, he poured out the photos in the letter.

A black and white ID photo, the man in the photo is wearing a crisp military uniform, and he looks like a resolute and upright person.

When Shao Yunshi read the letter, she just glanced at it and felt that if this person was Chang's brother-in-law, it would be really good.

Ximei happened to be standing next to Lingzhu and caught a glimpse of the photos she poured out.

However, before Ximei could even praise her, she was glared at by the young lady.

Ximei knew what was appropriate and hurriedly swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Lingzhu couldn't understand the little moves of their master and servant at this moment.

After just one glance, Lingzhu couldn't pull it out. She rubbed the photo, tears falling drop by drop. She had never really told anyone about Chang Shanchun. Today, she was overflowing with emotions and just wanted to vent them.

Shao Yunshi and Ximei looked at each other, then sat quietly, keeping each other company in silence.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet and only the sound of Lingzhu's sobs could be heard.

After all, she was still worried about someone. After venting for a while, Lingzhu took a breath and calmed down.

Afraid of embarrassing her, Shao Yunshi thoughtfully handed her a square handkerchief. Lingzhu calmly took the handkerchief, wiped his face gently, and said with red eyes: "Actually, Brother Chang left home out of anger. Originally, the family wanted him to take the business school entrance examination, but he preferred to join the army. For this reason, the family was in trouble. It was so serious that Brother Chang cut off contact with his family."

Shao Yunshi was definitely a good listener. Knowing that the person her uncle was looking for was brother-in-law Chang, she breathed a sigh of relief and listened carefully to Ling Zhu's narration.

Lingzhu said the beginning, and people became a little clearer.

Seeing Shao Yunshi listening attentively, she said with some embarrassment: "Thank you sister for taking the trouble. If it weren't for my sister's help, Brother Chang is far away in Wuhan, and I might never be able to find him in my life."

Shao Yunshi had long expected that there would be an incident between brother-in-law Chang and his family, so he stopped hearing from her.

After hearing this, she finally solved her doubts and said, "Now that you have found the person, what are your plans?"

After hearing this, Ling Zhu blushed and said, "Of course I'm going to look for him. Although we haven't contacted each other for several years, at least he is the only relative I have now."

That's true, but? Shao Yunshi tried her best not to know how to speak.

Ling Zhu is a generous person. Seeing Shao Yunshi's appearance, he knew that she was worried about him, so he said: "My sister and I have nothing to do with each other. I have no family and I have long regarded the Lu family as my natal family. If my sister has anything to say, just say it." "

Seeing her like this, Shao Yunshi asked bluntly: "The war in Northeast China is not just a temporary thing. Why didn't Brother Chang come home to see you? How come you haven't contacted each other for a few years when we are together?"

The Lu family had long been surprised by these doubts, but it was difficult to express them in front of Ling Zhu.

Faced with Shao Yunshi's doubts, Ling Zhu just smiled bitterly, "There are some differences between the Chang family and my Ling family. My family is really simple in population and has little wealth. The Chang family is different, although the older generation has left long ago. The palace has found another way to make a living, but after many years of running the palace, the family still has a lot of money."

After hearing these words, Shao Yunshi's heart sank, and he frowned and looked at Ling Zhu, who had a blushing face.

Ling Zhu was probably immersed in her own memories and didn't pay attention to Shao Yunshi's expression. She only continued: "Due to the roundabout relationship between the two families, they decided to marry Brother Chang and me."

"Baby kiss?" Shao Yunshi's heart became more and more heavy. She originally thought that the two of them were childhood sweethearts, so they got engaged.

Ling Zhu said 'hmm' and continued: "Brother Chang has always treated me very well, but when it was time to go to the military academy, he had a lot of trouble with his family, so I tried to persuade him."

Probably because he regretted his actions at that time, Ling Zhu obviously paused for a long time when he said this.

Shao Yunshi didn't push her. She knew that when there is a discrepancy between ideals and reality, people are often irrational, and there would definitely be unhappiness between the two of them.

Sure enough, Ling Zhu said with red eyes: "Brother Chang seemed angry at my persuasion. After leaving home, he only sent me a letter asking me to help take care of my parents."

Shao Yunshi had expected this and sighed, "Since there is a letter, there is an address. You didn't reply?"

Lingzhu shook his head and said: "Brother Chang's letter did not include an address, probably because he was afraid that I would reveal it and my family would know about it."

This is really possible, Shao Yunshi looked at the confused Ling Zhu speechlessly.

Lingzhu was completely immersed in her own world, her eyes were unfocused and unfocused.

Ximei was a little worried and wanted to shake Ling Zhu, but Shao Yunshi stopped her.

Shao Yunshi knew that Ling Zhu was a restrained person and would be able to calm down quickly. It would be a bit embarrassing if Ximei shook her awake.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lingzhu to take a deep breath, pause, and then come back to his senses.

She probably really couldn't figure it out, so she looked at Shao Yunshi and said with hesitation: "I also want to ask him why he didn't think of going home to take a look when such a big thing happened in the Northeast? Or, he , he already..."
