Chapter 112
After settling down a year ago, the children have already attended the local Groton Primary School: Buku will soon be 16 years old and can go to university; Buxian has entered the primary school attended by Longsheng and Yaya.

Buku, Fengjiu's favorite nephew, is still very close to his sister-in-law, and loves and loves the children of these aunts like Yaya.

In addition to his size, the little guy is not idle. He has a lot of ideas: Although there are two top universities in the world at his doorstep, just like all children want to leave home to study outside, away from the control of their parents, he applied for Located in Yale, Connecticut, Tang Fengxian, who loved his eldest son very much, had to agree.

After going to Yale, Buku soon caught the attention of baseball team coach Anderson because of his outstanding physical fitness, and was selected for the Yale baseball team. The Tang family's athletic talent was fully utilized there, and he quickly became a famous pitcher for the school team. And because of his slender figure, handsome appearance and gentle temperament, he has a large number of admirers. Even the famous world champion and professional baseball "Boston Red Sox" all come to his door, hoping that he can join after graduation.

The new hobby, which is not bitter, was quickly brought back home. As long as he came home from vacation, he would definitely practice with a bat on the field specially opened up for him by his father.Since arriving in the United States, the steady and gentle Buku has become the convinced leader of Longsheng, Yaya and Tan Buer. They worship Big Brother Buku and obey.

Fengjiu keenly realized that no matter what happened, if she couldn't make sense with a few children who were in different stages of rebellion one after another, she would have no trouble finding it. Without saying a word, the little guys would obediently nod.

Seeing the big brother practicing so hard, they naturally followed suit. Each of them asked for a bat, carefully studied the rules and techniques of baseball, and practiced hard. Although Tanbuer was small, he also held a much shorter ball. Stick followed the pose.

Soon, both Buxian and Longsheng were absorbed into the school team by the baseball coach of Groton Elementary School. Buxian was the catcher and Longsheng was the pitcher.

Feng Jiu is most in favor of children playing sports.

The poet Schiller once said - "Only when a man is fully a man is he playing; only when a man is playing is he fully a man."

Sports can relieve stress, release nature and cultivate spirit.And this kind of group sports with physical contact and strong confrontation is very suitable for cultivating children's cooperative spirit, and it also has a strong demonstration effect.

When Bu Xian and Long Sheng were practicing baseball at school, Ya Ya was not to be outdone and followed them vigorously.Because of her clever moves and fast speed, she generously gave her the nickname "Hurricane" in English—the eastern part of the United States is indeed very prone to hurricanes—and the nickname "Little Xuanfeng" in Chinese. Their elementary school did not have a girls' baseball team, but she was rejected for this. The discerning coach liked her and was recruited into the baseball team. No one could tell she was a girl when she wore a hat.

In the spring, the Groton Elementary School baseball team participated in the Massachusetts Elementary School Baseball League. No one expected that they would go all the way and finally win the championship. Long Sheng also won the well-deserved title of "Best Pitcher". The local reporter learned that the team I was even more surprised when there was a Chinese girl catcher who was only seven years old.

The final was held at Madison Elementary School near Harvard University. After the awards ceremony, they did not hurry to get on the bus and go home. Instead, they wandered all the way and walked into the Harvard campus.

Just now, Feng Jiu took pictures of the children who were actively running on the field, and now he even asked a few children to stand next to the "founder statue" which is not the founder of Harvard at all.Yaya is not as obedient as Buxian and Longsheng, but she refuses her mother's suggestion that she touch the shiny boots of the seated statue to bless her smarter, and casually says that she has That's smart enough, Feng Jiu couldn't avoid picking at her hair that she had secretly cut short for the convenience of playing golf, and made her humble.

Of course, Yaya cut the messy chicken nest head by herself, and then Aunt Qiu, who was still very skillful, repaired it, and trimmed the soft and round hair feet, or it was really like a dog gnawed.

Taking advantage of the spring break to go home, Buku, who happened to accompany him to watch the game, looked at the little sister's frustrated expression, couldn't help laughing with her arms folded, and pulled her little cousin to hug her. Yaya immediately bullied her cousin Like a koala, everyone is aware of the complex between Harvard and Yale that "becomes brighter than good". How can this Yale student not feel happy for his little cousin who refuses to be seduced?

They slanted through a forest, which is full of typical North American plants. Liriodendron, sugar maple, and sweetgum trees accompanied by loblolly pine are growing aggressively and violently. In a small territory.After walking more than 200 meters, Fengjiu found that they were passing through a cemetery - Americans have a very open-minded outlook on life and death, and the dead often live next to the living.

The cemetery was empty, only a white-haired old lady was kneeling in front of a white tombstone. She was wiping the tombstone with water from the jug she brought with her. Her movements were gentle and full of nostalgia. with a dazzling bouquet of bright yellow roses.

Feng Jiu subconsciously glanced at the tombstone, and was startled: the owner of the tomb has a typical Chinese name, which seems to be "Shi Jintang". According to the years of birth and death, he should have died at the age of 26 in [-]. Educated Chinese who come to the United States are extremely rare, so, isn't this the batch of...?
The old lady in the lotus-gray old-fashioned long dress turned her head and saw Feng Jiu and the others. An eagerness flashed in her still clear green eyes, and she said, "I just went to watch these kids play baseball. You played really well. Are you Chinese?" Feng Jiu nodded in agreement, and Yaya looked at the old woman curiously.

The old lady looked very excited, as if something great was about to happen, she hurriedly got up and introduced herself, saying that her name was Suzy Miller Shi, "My husband is also Chinese, and his name is Shi Jintang." She said it again in Cantonese vernacular, which Feng Jiu understood, so she confirmed that it was "Shi" and not "Shi".

Feng Jiu became more determined, and asked cautiously: "Is your husband a 'child studying in the United States'?"

The old lady looked at her in surprise: "Ma'am, you guessed right, he is the second batch."

The "young children studying in the United States" are different from the students who were selected and dispatched by the U.S. government with boxer indemnity in the 15th decade of this century. The children, all carefully selected from enlightened coastal business families, were originally scheduled to study abroad for 15 years, but the Qing officials believed the rumors that the children had learned "vulgarity, playing games all day long, and acting surly" in the barbarian country. Therefore, in the ninth year, the study abroad program was abruptly interrupted, even though the United States, which had a great affection for this group of dazzling Chinese children, pleaded to no avail, and asked them to return to China immediately.

Porter, the president of Yale University in the United States at the time, sadly compared the situation at that time to "a well-watered sapling was about to blossom and bear fruit, but it was forcibly stopped growing. How painful it is."

Fengjiu is familiar with this period of history: after the young children returned to China, they endured a period of painful years, but there were still many outstanding figures among the 96 people, such as Zhan Tianyou, the "father of Chinese railways" , Tang Shaoyi, the first prime minister of the Republic of China, Tang Guoan, the founder of Tsinghua University, and Liang Cheng, the envoy to the United States who contributed to the refund of the "Gengzi indemnity" that the Qing government paid a lot of money for a year due to intentional miscalculation Wait.

Even among the few people who were daring and reckless, such as Rong Kui, the younger brother of the famous "father of Chinese overseas students" Rong Hong, later achieved great achievements.

At the beginning, this group of children who crossed thousands of rivers and mountains at such a young age caused a great sensation. Everyone was dressed in unfit long gowns and jackets uniformly provided by the government, with a long braid behind their heads, so that the "New York Times" reported The news of their arrival was even unclear about their gender, and the major mainstream newspapers actually published such funny news as "welcome this group of young ladies and gentlemen from ancient China".

"At the beginning, he was arranged to live in our house as soon as he came. Five years later, we fell in love." Susie's eyes lit up, and her cheeks flushed, as if she had returned to the youth. years.

"He plays baseball very well, and his swing is very free and easy, just like this handsome young man." She pointed to Long Sheng, and Ya Ya followed suit. , went up and rubbed the earlobe of Ya Yarou's head.

Susie's expression was very excited: "It's just that in the first few years, he didn't dare to cut off his braids, so when he swung the bat, the braids flew around, forming various weird angles, which was very interesting. I won the photography award for the magical picture where the braids and the bat are completely parallel." Everyone laughed when they heard this.Rong Kui, who is very rebellious, is the first to cut braids among young children.

Seeing that the group of Chinese people were so interested in her husband's story, Susie was also very happy, and the more she talked, the more she talked, "Just like almost every young child studying in the United States, he is also very good, whether it is homework, sports, or Dancing. But later, the Qing Dynasty asked him to return to China. He was reluctant to part with me and the unfinished studies in the United States, so my family and friends helped him secretly stay and hide for several years... Finally, he never We graduated from Harvard and we got married."

Feng Jiu noticed the plain gold wedding ring on her right ring finger, it seems...

"We made an agreement that we will go back to China together when the rumors in China are not so tight and his studies are finished. It's a pity that God didn't hear my prayers, and our happy days haven't passed for a few years. He got liver disease because of studying and working so hard, and he passed away not long after." The old lady's voice dropped, and even Tanbuer looked at her quietly, and suddenly walked over, grabbing the other little hands on the lapel Pat wiped away her tears.

Susie gratefully kissed Tambur's little hand, "Before he passed away, he repeatedly mentioned that the biggest regret in his life was not being able to return to work in the country and failing the country; also, the journey was so long that the soul could not return home , he said that for the Chinese, this is the biggest punishment. Is it true?"

It seems that since then, Mrs. Shi has not met any other Chinese people who can talk to her—that is, Mr. Shi stayed in the United States privately after all.

But there may be other reasons: Since [-], the United States, a country that claims to be the beacon of democracy and freedom in the world, has passed the notorious "Chinese Exclusion Act" that only targets Chinese people, banning all Some of the Chinese entered the United States.

The reason is inseparable from the diligence, perseverance and high IQ shown by the ordinary Chinese who helped the United States build the Western Railroad during the implementation of the project, which made white people with a strong sense of superiority in their bones have a strong sense of crisis. This is a typical example. They are full of food and scold the cook, narrow-minded and inferior, completely forgetting that under every sleeper, there is the body of a Chinese laborer who died of exhaustion because of the construction of the railway.

She looked up at Feng Jiu, with earnestness and pleading in her eyes, Feng Jiu hurriedly comforted her: "Of course not, we have a solution, it happens that someone from our side is going back to China soon, if you call Mr. Shi's name in front of the grave, Then bring his set of old clothes back to the country and bury him in his hometown, so that his soul can go back naturally." Fengjiu made up his mind to ask Bao Buqu, a Cantonese, to help realize the last wish of Mr. Shi, a fellow villager. .

"Oh my God, it would be great to be able to do this." Susie was surprised and thanked again and again-the problem that had made her frown for many years was hopefully solved, and she was about to cry, "His hometown, I always remember, It’s in Longyan Village, Huangliang Town, Xiangshan, Guangdong.” She also said this place name in very standard Cantonese vernacular, and Feng Jiu felt even more desolate when she heard it: It seems that Su Xi has not remarried, orphans and widows, life is already not easy , How can I have the extra energy to realize the wish of my deceased husband, which is not easy to realize. After all, there is a vast ocean between China and the United States.

At this time, only they were talking softly. The children had already walked out of the cemetery, climbing trees, picking flowers and picking grass to play on their own. Only Buku, who was already a handsome young man, followed and listened quietly.

"During our annual honeymoon, we took the train to Philadelphia, New York, Washington, and later went to Yellowstone. We even watched the eruption of Old Faithful for several days. We were lucky enough to see a rare grizzly bear. Big-horned elk, not afraid of people at all, followed us; we also sneaked down and boiled eggs with hot spring water. In fact, tourists are not allowed to do this. At that time, we were as happy as in a dream..." Recalling the relationship with the deceased husband In the past of youth, the wrinkles on Susie's face stretched out, and a pair of pure emerald eyes made people vaguely see the charming demeanor of the young girl Susie.

Gradually, the smile on her face disappeared, and the originally high-pitched voice turned to Qianqie, "However, since my husband passed away, I haven't been out of this town again."

At this moment, a feigned complaint came from behind them, "Mom, I knew you were here." A black-haired woman in her 50s appeared, her facial features had very obvious characteristics of Chinese descent, and she was elegantly dressed Exquisite.Seeing the children playing on the side, he immediately greeted Feng Jiu eagerly, and praised their outstanding performance vigorously.

Seeing the tears in Susie's eyes, the daughter Susie just blurted out and called her "Nanny" looked distressed, and she helped her mother to leave in a hurry; After explaining the situation, the black-haired wife was very moved and thanked them for caring about her late father. They exchanged addresses, and Susie went back with a smile on her face, supported by her daughter.

Buku was very emotional, and talked about his work in the Yale baseball team: It turns out that Anderson, who is discerning and knowledgeable, has a reason for placing high hopes on Buku, a Chinese kid—his grandfather who graduated from Yale often mentioned that in 60 years A while ago, there was a Yale international student baseball team composed of young Chinese students studying in the United States. They beat all the invincibles in American universities without exception. When they had to return home early and passed through San Francisco, they defeated the famous local professional baseball team Oakland. , caused a sensation, and made the local overseas Chinese ecstatic—after all, baseball is the national sport of the United States; there was also a young boy studying in the United States as the helmsman of the Yale rowing team, leading the team to defeat the old enemy Harvard rowing team.

Buku, whose English name is Frankie, soon became a famous pitcher. When he became famous on the Yale campus, Coach Anderson once told him proudly, "Although you were unmoved at first, I was not in a hurry and took you directly. I went to the school history museum and saw how your 'father of the railway' Zhan Tianyou used to lead the 'Oriental' baseball team's heroic swing, wasn't he greatly touched by this, and immediately agreed to join the team?"

Feng Jiu was very surprised when he heard this: I never thought that children studying in the United States would have such an experience.

It is said that the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia, but why do Chinese children come to the United States and play various sports with rules set by Westerners?
Since the Song Dynasty, Chinese courts have increasingly emphasized martial arts over literature. Educating children to follow the rules and "cultivate their morality" is like putting a rein on a newborn foal and putting iron palms on it. Working with books all day long, such an educational concept that discriminates against sports is really outdated and backward, Feng Jiu concluded with deep feeling.

Buku suddenly blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, I think this Mr. Shi is also very lucky. After all, having such a long-lasting wife is not a blessing that everyone can have."

At this moment, Yaya called out to her that she was hungry and wanted to eat, so she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, quickly catching up with the younger siblings in front, and walked forward together.Yaya and Buxian were still chattering about today's game, Longsheng was neither arrogant nor impetuous as usual, Tanbuer looked enviously at the brothers and sisters in front, and the short-legged Yaya followed closely Ya suddenly realized, took a few steps back, and took his younger brother's hand.

Fengjiu was left alone, lamenting with relief that her little Buku had finally grown up, smiling, and looking back at the white tombstone, standing peacefully in the breeze and the fragrance of flowers, under the slanting light in the afternoon The sun embraces it tenderly, the yellow roses are dotted with crystal water droplets, the woods are silent and empty, and the lonely soul in a foreign country is bathed in a sense of comfort and warmth.

She thought that in the last moment of this compatriot surnamed Shi's life, he should be worried about his beloved wife and daughter, and would feel that he was full of energy to learn and pay for nothing. The speech of Liu Buchan, the right-wing commander of the Beiyang Navy who died for the country:

"Going to the West, I know very well China's strategy for self-improvement, and I have nothing else to ask for. Carrying the future of the country, I have learned all the science of foreigners. I have traveled [-] miles to leave my motherland and my parents' country, and I have no regrets."

Fearless - no regrets.

Feng Jiu bowed deeply to pay tribute to his compatriots who died before their ambitions were fulfilled, and at the same time thought of his dear one who was imprisoned thousands of miles away... Tanbuer's "giggle" laughter reminded her to quickly return to the In reality, he temporarily let go of the churning thoughts in his heart, turned around and caught up with the children, talking and laughing with them, Fengjiu continued to walk forward.

Feng Jiu asked Bao Buyi to restore all the radio channels, and listened to current affairs news every day. Although there was only a few words about Ning Zheng, she knew that he was still safe for the time being, and she could only wait patiently.

It was already midsummer in [-], and the land of China had already changed color——

In February, the Nanjing Massacre, which shocked the world for three months, finally came to an end, and 30 dead souls were terrified. In March, the traitorous regime supported by Japan, the Restoration Government of the Republic of China, was established in Nanjing.

It's not that there were no great victories like the "Battle of Taierzhuang" conducted by the army of the fifth theater commanded by the former Guangxi warlord Li Delin, but there were too few.

Also in March, Hitler finally couldn't hold back and announced his march into Austria, revealing the true colors of the aggressors, and began a lightning-like conquest in Europe.

Feng Jiu was reading the English translation of Mr. Mao's speech "On Protracted War" delivered in May. After watching it, she felt a little discouraged and felt full of confidence in the war of resistance.

She recalled the news that Bao Buqu told her last year: In August and October of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Jiang government had to carry out an "aggression" with the CCP in accordance with the agreement reached with Ning Zheng, Mr. Zhou and Yang Zhongxiang. The second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation" reorganized the various Red Army teams into the "Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army" and the "New Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army". foreign.

Bao Buqu said with emotion: My brother Ning San has completed the transformation from a mortal to a hero.

Feng Jiu silently: I don't know if he, who is a prisoner of Nanguan Chu, can hear such exciting news?He needs to know that his sacrifice is worth it.

On June 90, in order to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward, Chairman Jiang ordered the explosion of Huayuankou, a ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River in the northern suburbs of Zhengzhou. The deaths of as many as [-] to [-] residents in the three provinces in ten years caused endless harm.

Fengjiu was so anxious that he immediately remitted more than half of the little money he had brought to the United States back to China for disaster relief. Both Jagers responded positively.

In Boston, some people said that they relied on stocks, while others said behind their backs that they made their fortunes by selling bootleg liquor. Many members of the Kennedy family took good care of them. One day, a handsome young man with typical Irish ancestry was entrusted by his uncle. When he came to visit, Fengjiu was a little surprised after having an in-depth conversation with this male college student who was still studying at Harvard. After he left, he said to Bao Buqu, "This young man has outstanding leadership qualities that cannot be ignored, and his future is limitless."

This is 23 years later, John F. Kennedy, who became the No.30 fifth president of the United States.

An An is already one year old, and Feng Jiuka weaned him a little bit. This third son who looks more like Duan Fang's eldest brother Tang Fengxian, but unfortunately he doesn't have a stable temperament to match his appearance. He is crying and howling because of weaning , made Fengjiu one head and two big; Yaya felt sorry for her mother, and used the energy and tricks she used to coax Tanbuer to wean her younger brother to coax her younger brother. Unexpectedly, An An didn't realize the majesty of the eldest sister, and she didn't appreciate it; Feeling ashamed, Ya Ya secretly pinched his fat buttocks twice, and claimed that he was given the wrong name at the beginning, that the product was not the right one, and that it should be called "Naughty Man".

An'an seemed to understand, looked at the place first, and felt that it was enough to use it, immediately lay down on the ground shamelessly and began to roll all over the floor, crying even more wickedly with her mouth pursed, Feng Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, and reprimanded Yaya a little bit for not being bullied Little brother, Ya Ya is holding her mother aside, not letting her go up to hug this annoying An An.

The three-year-old Tanbuer, who is sensitive by nature, feels that he is the second son struggling to survive between the favored eldest and the wayward third, so he takes the opportunity to come to his mother to flatter him, beat Feng Jiu's back, and Hastily combing Feng Jiu's long black hair with a rhino horn comb.

Three children were weaned in three situations. Therefore, each child's nature is different. Perhaps, children come with their own feng shui. As long as it is not too much, parents should not interfere too much, but accept it calmly.

Feng Jiu still hugged the rolling An An, feeling that An An, who had regained her face, stopped crying in an instant, and quietly and nostalgicly sniffed the familiar fragrance of milk on her mother's body.

For the third time, Fengjiu survived the post-weaning period with difficulty. While drinking malt water, he couldn't help but miss the time when he was feeding Yaya and Tanbuer. The privilege of being a husband, the father of the child who relieved her with confidence.

In November, Feng Jiu solemnly asked his servants to invite Bao Buqu, who usually lived on the top floor, to come to the study on the first floor. It happened that Bao Buqu had just received a reply letter from his entrusted person yesterday: a trustee returned to Guangdong. Xiangshan found the family cemetery of Shi Jintang, a young boy studying in the United States. The fate of the Shi family children whose whereabouts have been unknown for many years has been settled. The current patriarch of the Shi family enshrined his tablet in the ancestral hall and used his clothes to make a tomb. The trustee is very careful. I took a lot of pictures of the whole process.

He grabbed the letter and went downstairs into the study, and saw Feng Jiu, who was always neat and elegant, was sitting behind the desk writing a letter, she looked up at Bao Buqu, and said quietly: "You'an, I want to go back to China Go find him—An An is already one year old, and she doesn't even have a name yet."

A corner of Bao Buqu's heart collapsed in an instant. At this moment, he knew it would come; but at the same time, it was as if another long-awaited boot had finally landed, and his heart strangely became extremely stable.

Just one point, "But Lao Jiang..." Chairman Jiang is notorious for being ruthless and dishonest—in the pretext of being able to return to China to participate in the War of Resistance, he ensnares those who have already left the country to launch a "war" together with Ning Zheng. Yang Zhongxiang, the leader of the Northwest Army during the Xi'an Incident, and several of his family members. Zheng, will Fengjiu go back this time, will it be more or less ominous?

"No, he himself is shameless, and Mrs. Jiang is shameless."

After the Xi'an Incident, Song Wencheng, who had a falling out with his third brother-in-law and detained Ning Zheng because Jiang went against his will, also resigned again. Noisy, Jiang, who is deeply in love with his wife, had to agree not to kill Ning Zheng.

Bao Buqu then handed the letter from Guangdong to Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu was very happy. She didn't expect such an unexpected surprise before leaving. She quickly translated the letter into English, and then ordered an American servant to go to Su Xi's house immediately. a trip.

It wasn't until around midnight that the servant came back happily in the dark and reported that Mrs. Shi and her daughter were so moved that they wept bitterly after seeing the photos and the translated letter, and said they would come to thank them tomorrow.I said that my wife is going back to China in the next few days, and things are complicated before leaving. They feel very sorry to hear that, and say that they must find an opportunity to express their gratitude in the future.

Feng Jiu received the handwritten thank-you letter from Susie and a basket of gingerbread exuding a warm fragrance from the servant, and suddenly felt relieved: This is a good sign, maybe, the matter of Ya Ya’s father can also go smoothly like this Will it be settled?
Early in the morning three days later, Fengjiu looked down at the third son who didn't know anything about the world, the second son who was getting more and more sensible, and the eldest daughter who had the same deer eyes as his mother, and simply bent down and took them all into his arms. Here, they kissed one by one, and told them in a low voice to listen to the words of their uncle, aunt, Aunt Qiu and Aunt Luoli, and Brother Buku——Tang Du and Wu Ma are getting old, and their thoughts are also old, so many words really can’t be listened to. up.

Yaya pursed her lips, and said solemnly, "Mom, don't worry, I am here, as well as grandpa, uncle, aunt, brother Lailai, brother Buxian, elder brother, and many, many family members. , you just relax and stay with Dad, right?" She turned her head, and Long Sheng, Bu Xian, and Tan Buer nodded quickly.

Ya Ya didn't mention Tang Du's Xu Xianlu Mrs. Lu - long before the fall of Shanghai, she had been worried about her beloved daughter Fengling, son-in-law Hongsi and their firstborn child day and night, and died of heart failure and was buried in Suzhou.

Yaya is ten years old. Although she doesn't understand politics, she only knows one thing. The father of the three siblings suffered for the sake of the country and the Chinese people. She is very proud of this.

Her so envious mother is about to leave her, perhaps, this will be the longest parting between their mother and daughter.She Ning Yanqiao has always been a good and filial child, so of course she can't compete with her respectable and poor father for her mother.

However, after all, she was not that strong. The clouds in the eyes of the ten-year-old girl finally turned into rain, and it drifted down little by little. Yaya wiped away her tears and said word by word: "Mom, I know, Dad doesn't have you!" , it won't work."

Tang Du and Tang Fengxian both looked sad. They couldn't stop their loved ones from going back to their motherland, which was gradually falling, to be by her beloved's side. What they could do was to take care of themselves and take good care of their three children. baby child.Loli who came yesterday also stepped forward to hug her and said words that comforted her.

Looking at these relatives, Feng Jiu once again felt how important it is for a married woman to have a reliable family.

She bowed deeply to them, Fengjiu's sister-in-law immediately covered her mouth, tears rolled in her eyes, Fengjiu smiled, turned and walked out, behind Bao Buqu and Yin who came with Luoli Jager also nodded to everyone, and then left.

Feng Jiu didn't hear her daughter's cry, and after thinking about it, she knew that Long Sheng, who had been showing an unbearable face just now, must have stepped forward to comfort her again. He must have hugged Yaya into his arms and shook it gently. The most common appearance of childhood sweethearts over the years.

As a mother, she is really lucky.

Feng Jiu and Bao Buqu were flying on a plane driven by Yin Yager—speaking of which, this [-] passenger plane was ordered by Ning Zheng from Boeing before the accident. I heard that the boss of Boeing at that time knew that the buyer was imprisoned. In the matter of not being able to pick up the goods in time, I once urged Yin Yage to simply swallow the money, and he can sell the plane to other buyers, and no one will lose anyway; He still managed to get in touch with Ning Zheng through Song Wencheng, followed Ning Zheng's instructions, and is now planning to hand over the priceless plane to Jiang in exchange for Jiang's understanding.

Now, the first passengers of this airliner with a maximum capacity of ten passengers happened to be Fa Xiao's wife and his friends. As a pilot, Yin Yage could not be filled with emotion.

In fact, since last year, there has been an intercontinental airliner flying directly from San Francisco, USA to Hong Kong, but Feng Jiu still insists on taking this plane, and plans to fly to Chongqing, the companion capital during the war. Before the fall of Wuhan in October, Jiang and his wife were almost unable to leave, because their Douglas DC-2 plane was very old, so she wondered whether Jiang would release Ning Zheng because of this brand new advanced airliner. help.

At this time, she was sitting alone on the seat in the last row, looking at the large clouds with gold rims floating outside the porthole, thinking about it, her heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to jump uncontrollably stand up.

Feng Jiu forced himself to think of something else, so he recalled that he had visited the former residence of Emily Dickinson, a poetess who was as famous as Whitman, with yellow walls and green windows when he visited the small town of Amherst a few months ago. A little bit of the life of this white-clothed poetess who is self-enclosed but not lonely, and has enjoyed all the glory behind her.

Feng Jiu closed her eyes, and it seemed as if she was still in the garden of her home, the beautiful flower carpet of light yellow hyacinths and wisteria-colored pansies; In their former home—the peonies of various colors in the Prince Shuncheng’s Mansion in Beiping; the fresh daffodils seem to emerge from a deep underground spring, pulling calendula of the same color, and ensemble a warm spring song. movement.

... Her thoughts turned back again - every time I fly forward, I will be closer to you.

Fengjiu had no choice but to start reciting a poem by Dickinson silently. She was so excited that she needed to hypnotize herself:
"I've been loving

i can prove to you

until i start loving
I never lived fully—

i will always love

can also argue to you

Love is life..."

Bao Buqu, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, rested his hands quietly, coveting her beautiful profile, this spring moon-like woman he had loved for many years.In this way, only the time she was with him, the time spent with her day and night, has entered the countdown, because it is scarce, so it is very precious, he watched her head gradually tilted to one side unconsciously, so he got up and walked over, pulled up The thick woolen blanket on her body was carefully covered on her shoulders, and then she sat beside her, her sad and unhurried eyes, like the moonlight, had already carefully drowned her.

Soon, it began to rain outside, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and Yin Yage’s night flight ability was as superb as Ning Zheng’s. He skillfully avoided the dark clouds with lightning, and the Boeing [-] roared, resolutely heading Fly to the far east.
