After the Republic of China

In the yard in the morning, except for the chirping of birds, everything is quiet. There is still a faint smell of vegetation unique to the countryside in the air.

In such a quiet environment, Ximei's footsteps and echoes seemed a bit noisy.

After hearing this, Shao Yunshi hurriedly pulled her away and said, "Forget it, don't go. Everything is on the dressing table. If you do it, you will wake up Sister Lingzhu again."

"If you don't take it, what should I do with the circles under my eyes? I'm not at home today, and there are uncles and aunts from the Luo family here." Ximei suddenly became anxious.

Shao Yunshi is a person who pays special attention to details. Her good upbringing prevents her from looking haggard to others.

Then, she frowned and said, "You packed the things. There are signs outside each porcelain bottle. Please be careful when handling them."

"Hey" Ximei agreed and hurriedly went out.

After all, it was a bit late to clean up this morning.

Shao Yunshi didn't even have time to get up early to practice, so she was busy going to the front, but she couldn't let her future husband's family say she was lazy.

Luo Congbai got up early in the morning to practice martial arts at dawn. Not only that, he and his father also went to the vegetable field behind and were very busy.

In the morning, the vegetable field was in full bloom, and the dewdrops on the fruits and vegetables were crystal clear.

The father and son were very happy to see such a harvest scene.

"Abba, this vegetable field is really good. I didn't expect that Aunt Hua had a lot of time farming." Luo Congbai said happily while holding a spade and looking at the vegetable field in front of him.

Uncle Luo looked at the green eyes and was also happy. He took two puffs of cigarette, hummed, and then asked: "Your master said about the engagement, do you have any rules?"

When Luo Congbai heard his father mention the engagement, his face turned red and he asked, "Where is the master?"

Uncle Luo met his son yesterday, but it was too late and he didn't have time to say anything.

Coincidentally, Luo Congbai was also busy entertaining guests, so he didn't mention it.

Therefore, Uncle Luo has not yet told his son about Master Jiyuan.

When asked at this time, he said: "Master Jiyuan originally wanted to wait for you to come back, but somehow, an order came from above, so he had no choice but to leave."

Uncle Luo is one of the few people who knows the identity of Master Jiyuan.

"Ah? The master is gone again." Luo Congbai hadn't seen the master for a long time, and he was still thinking about it.

Seeing his son's regret, Uncle Luo said hurriedly: "Your master left a letter for you. He also said that your studies are over and you are still a top student. The place you want to be assigned will not be bad, so don't worry."

Luo Congbai knew that his master was concerned about his studies, but he didn't expect that he had already been to Jiangxi.

He has been with his master since he was seven or eight years old and has never been apart. The master is his second father.

Feeling a little unhappy, Luo Congbai said, "Abba, have you met Master Shao before?"

Uncle Luo glanced at his son, nodded and said: "Yes, I have met, Mr. Shao agreed. However, the old man said that he wants to meet you alone before talking about anything else."

After thinking about it, he added: "I have also met Mr. Shao. He is a nice person and treats me warmly."

Because of this, he felt confident.

Luo Congbai was happy after hearing this and felt it was reasonable, otherwise he should be worried that Mr. Shao would be unhappy.

Then, Luo Congbai felt a little happy, glanced at his father, and said silently: "Dad, you must have spent a lot of money building the house."

This is an affirmation, not a question. Uncle Luo narrowed his eyes at his son in amusement, "You are also concerned about this now?"

Luo Congbai wanders outside all year round, and he doesn't care at all about his family's livelihood. Not only that, but sometimes when there was a shortage of money in the organization, he would take it from home.

Now that his father mentioned it, he was still a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "I'll get you some gold bars later."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Luo's face became serious and he looked at his son seriously, "I know who you are and you will not be greedy, but where did you get the gold bars?"

Because it was morning, and it was my own vegetable garden, there was no one in the field, so it was quiet.

Uncle Luo's questions were neither hasty nor slow, but they were not light in weight. It sounds like a heavy hammer in my ears.

Luo Congbai thanked his father for his trust, rubbed his hands and said, "To hide this from my aunt, she has a lot of gold bars in her hands."

Afraid that his aunt would throw money at her in the future, he cautiously mentioned it.

Hearing this, Uncle Luo didn't think much and just sighed, "What do you want me to say about you? I am your wife after all. How can you use your wife's money? Moreover, you haven't even married yet."

Luo Congbai didn't know how to respond to this. Of course, he was a little embarrassed.

After Uncle Luo finished speaking, he didn't look at his son's face. Thinking of what happened during the Chinese New Year, he immediately asked: "Are you hiding the gold bars and banknotes you brought back from Brother Chen?"

ah? Luo Congbai was shocked when his father mentioned that incident and remembered the gold bars and money he saw when he opened the suitcase.

These are things you should talk to your father about.

Then, Luo Congbai nodded and said: "Well, I didn't know that at the time, and I didn't open the suitcase at home. Later, when I went to school, I realized that my aunt had given me so much money. I had already handed over some of the things that I could hand over, but I couldn't. Yes, I asked my junior brother to bring it back."

Uncle Luo sighed even more, "It's too much to hide this from my aunt. I don't know whether you will be good or bad in the future."

This didn't sound good. Luo Congbai was startled and said hurriedly: "Abba, Gu Gu is not like this usually, she only treats me like this. Besides, doesn't she want to be poor and rich? "

This sounds good, but how can such a poor family be so rich?

Uncle Luo said angrily: "The gold bars you brought back are much more than the gold bars I smuggled back from the Northeast gold mining, and they are much purer."

Luo Congbai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Abba, you bought the house with this money."

Uncle Luo glared at his son, "As a father, I haven't reached this point yet. I build a house for my son to get a wife. Instead, I use my daughter-in-law's money. It's shameful to tell the truth."

After hearing this, Luo Congbai said anxiously: "You should use this money for you, but you can't guard the treasure mountain and endure hardship."

Uncle Luo was also really filial when he saw his son, but his thinking was too simplistic.

Then, he sighed deeply and stopped mentioning it. He just said: "Mr. Shao said that it is best not to let too many people know about your engagement."

Luo Congbai's heart skipped a beat at his father's words. It wasn't that he wasn't prepared, but that he hadn't discussed this issue with his father yet.

For fear of his father being disgusted, he did not tell the truth for the first time, but said nervously: "Abba, what do you mean, Mr. Shao?"

Uncle Luo was not satisfied with what Mr. Shao said at first, but after thinking about it carefully and listening to Master Jiyuan's analysis, he felt that it was very good.

Then, he looked at his son and explained: "Mr. Shao said this not only because he was concerned about the safety of his granddaughter, but also for our family and you."

Luo Congbai is not stupid, and is also quite smart. When his father said this, he knew that his father's tone changed.

When I think about what I have done, I feel full of guilt for my family.
