After the Republic of China

Chapter 975 Rhetoric
In the morning, Shao Mansion slowly wakes up in the morning light. Some get up early to cook, some practice martial arts, and some patrol. It is very lively.

Xiaodong's family members were aware of her actions, but they just ignored her and let her jump around happily without making any noise.

Uncle Ge, the concierge, was a conscientious man. When he saw her, he greeted her with a smile, "Xiaodong, your uncle Bu told you yesterday that you can't go out alone. You'd better find someone to follow you."

Mr. Ge now lives a comfortable life, and he is surrounded by chivalrous people who treat him much better than his former masters. The most important thing is that they treat him as an elder and treat him equally.

Therefore, he treated the Shao family sincerely and regarded Xiaodong and other children as his own children.

Xiaodong and the others were also close to Uncle Ge, and when they saw him stopping them, they smiled and said, "Uncle, I'll just be gone for a while, nothing will happen."

"Then tell me, where are you going?" Uncle Ge was unmoved.

Xiaodong had no choice but to say, "I'll go to Ximei's house."

"Ximei's home is not in the concession. No, it's not safe for you to go alone." Uncle Ge refused directly.

Being rejected so decisively, Xiaodong stared at Uncle Ge with resentment, "You really can't go?"

Being stared at by the child, Uncle Ge swallowed and shook his head firmly.

Seeing this, Xiaodong had no choice but to try to coax her.

Uncle Ge was almost unable to hold back because of her pestering.

Fortunately, someone rescued him in time.

"Xiaodong, why are you staying in the gatehouse?" Ximei stood outside the iron gate in the morning light, carrying her bag and smiling.

When Xiaodong saw her, he was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled, "Now we don't have to grind our teeth, the real boss is here."

Uncle Ge wiped his sweat and said, "That's right. You're too clingy, girl. My old bones are about to fall apart."

As he spoke, he had already swiftly opened the small door.

As soon as Ximei entered the door, she greeted Uncle Ge.

Uncle Ge also liked the kind-hearted Ximei and asked, "Girl, why are you here so early in the morning instead of staying at home to look after your husband?"

Ximei said hurriedly: "It's not peaceful outside, the head of the family is afraid that I will be scared at home alone, so he asked me to go back to my parents' home, or come here."

After hearing this, Mr. Ge was very satisfied and said, "Mr. Jin is right."

Xiaodong said hurriedly: "I'm just about to go to your house."

Ximei was stunned. "Why are you going to my house? Did the young lady call me?" She was a little worried when she heard this.

"Yeah." Xiaodong blinked a few times before saying, "Don't worry, Senior Sister is fine. By the way, why didn't you go to your mother's house?"

Ximei waved her hand and said, "My mother is always with the old lady during the day, and there is no one there when I go back to my parents' home."

Xiao Dong didn't get anything out of the question, but he wasn't upset either. He pulled the person aside and asked, "Are you here alone?"

Ximei shook her head, "No, Arong brought me here."

When Ximei mentioned her man, she was shy and charming.

Unfortunately, there is no Jin Rong here, only Xiaodong who doesn't understand romance.

"Oh, Brother-in-law Jin sent you here. Where is he?" Xiaodong had already taken a few steps, but stopped and looked towards the gate.

Ximei pulled her along and said as they walked: "I entered the concession alone. He went to work."

"It's so chaotic outside, Brother-in-law Jin is really something." Xiaodong said angrily.

Ximei waved her hand nonchalantly, "He's been very busy lately, and this side of the concession is very safe, so I didn't ask him to send me off."

Xiaodong's eyes flashed, "How many days will you stay here?"

Ximei said hurriedly: "Arong will come to pick me up in the evening."

When she said this, Ximei's heart trembled and she became shy. Xiaodong was not married yet and didn't know about the little interest between the couple. She only said regretfully: "I thought you would stay a few more days."

Ximei said hurriedly: "Maybe, if I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will come again."

"That's great." Xiaodong was happy. "Let's go. The lady is waiting."

"Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?" Ximei became curious again.

Xiao Dong covered his mouth and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Didn't you say the other day that it was a bit boring not to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival with us this year? So I discussed it with my senior sister, ..."

Ximei was also very happy when she heard this. "Only a girl like you can come up with such a bad idea."

In the past, Xiaodong would have definitely betrayed his senior sister, but this time they had a purpose, so Xiaodong had no choice but to take the blame.

Holding his breath, Xiaodong said: "I'm just thinking about you."

Xi Mei believed this and pulled the person with a smile, "I brought you something good, let's go quickly."

The gate was some distance away from the main building, but the two of them were so anxious that they ran fast. Soon, they arrived at the living room in the morning dew.

Shao Yunshi was already waiting.

In the hot summer, Shao Yunshi usually takes the opportunity to sleep a little longer in the morning.

When Ximei saw her, she was surprised and asked, "Miss, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Shao Yunshi was still a little confused. "I went to bed early yesterday, and when I woke up early, the cicadas were chirping. I couldn't sleep, so I got up."

Ximei felt distressed, "Xiaodong, you didn't catch the cicada? Isn't this something we do every year? How come you forgot about it this year?"

Xiaodong said hurriedly: "Yes, why didn't Wu and the others catch the cicada?"

Shao Yunshi said with a smile: "What's the big deal? I told them not to do it. Although it's a bit noisy, it's also lively."

Ximei disagreed: "If you don't sleep well, you will feel uncomfortable."

Shao Yunshi sighed, "How can I sleep well? It's so noisy outside that I can't even get out. Wang Ping, Ru Qian and the others have all gone home."

The market was in chaos, and girls couldn't go out alone, so they were naturally taken home and taken care of.

Ximei sighed after hearing this, "I don't know what's going on. It keeps getting more and more restless day by day."

Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "Ximei, did Brother-in-law Jin say when this chaos will end?"

"Xiaodong!" Shao Yunshi shouted in disapproval, "Ximei shouldn't know these things, don't ask nonsense."

Ximei didn't care, "Miss, I came here today to reassure you."

"Why, what do you know?" Xiaodong asked anxiously.

Ximei nodded, "Arong told me when he came back."

Although Shao Yunshi was delighted, she still stopped him and said, "If it's a secret, Ximei, you should shut up quickly. You've forgotten it."

Ximei shook her head. "It's not a secret. Arong even asked me to tell everyone."

At this point, Shao Yunshi's heart moved, and she said, "Then tell me, we are really confused these days, and even the shop is trembling with fear and can't do business well."

Ximei was afraid that the young lady would worry, so she revealed Jinrong's bottom line. Sure enough, she came at the right time. "I heard from Arong that the arrest will take some time to be completed. He asked everyone to try not to go out and not to run around out of curiosity."

This is obviously a reminder.

Shao Yunshi lowered her eyes and asked, "Why did they arrest so many people this time? I heard from Luo Cheng that there were children among them."

Xiaodong pouted, "This is a crime, but we can't implicate a child."

Because of Jin Rong's work, Ximei blushed after hearing Xiaodong's words.
