Liu Yong returned home with a worried look on his face.
When Yu Hui saw Liu Yong's appearance, he asked with concern: "Master, look at how worried you are, have you encountered anything unpleasant?"
Liu Yong said helplessly: You don't know something. The world is very unstable now. It is said that the Taiping Army has already captured Nanjing. Some people say that the Taiping Army has been seen in Liyang, Yixing and other places. If this continues, Nanxun will be occupied.
It's only a matter of time. The imperial court is about to lose its hold, let alone Nanxun Town.
Yu Hui asked anxiously: What should we do?
Liu Yong said: What should I do? Fortunately, I bought a house in Shanghai soon and my family went to Shanghai.
Yu Hui said: Will it be peaceful when we arrive in Shanghai?
Liu Yong said: The Shanghai Concession is the territory of foreigners. How many heads do the Taiping Army have? They dare not offend. Then he said: Go tell Hong Ying immediately and take away the child’s things and his own things.
It's all sorted, including Sister-in-law Ying. I'll go talk to my mother. We'll leave tomorrow.
In Liu Yongniang's room.
When Liu Yongniang heard that she was going to Shanghai, she pouted and said to Liu Yong: You guys can go, but I won't go. Although Shanghai is good, I'm not used to it. I like this old house. What's wrong with "Lance" coming?
Are you going to eat me, an old woman?
Liu Yong said with a smile: We are not worried about leaving you here alone. After all, it is lively in Shanghai for a whole family to be together. Besides, life in Shanghai is also convenient, with running water and flush toilets, everything is available.
Liu Yongniang couldn't convince Liu Yong, so she reluctantly agreed to go to Shanghai together.
Yu Hui hurried to Hong Ying's room.
Hong Ying is playing hide and seek with Dong Mei and Qiu Mei.
As soon as Yu Hui saw Hong Ying, she said: Sister, quickly sort out the clothes of the two girls.
Hong Ying asked strangely: Why?
Yu Hui said: It is said that the Taiping Army has already reached Nanjing and will probably reach Nanxun soon. Therefore, we are all going to Shanghai. You have also packed up your own things and will leave tomorrow.
Hong Ying asked strangely: Where do so many people live?
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. Two houses have been bought a long time ago, and it will be easier for more people to live there."
Hong Ying said: Wow, I bought two houses in Shanghai.
Yu Hui said: Yes, one building is yours.
Hong Ying laughed loudly and said: Sister, don’t joke with me. I, Hong Ying, will never dream of buying a house in Shanghai. Even if I sell myself, it won’t be worth the price of a house in Shanghai.
.
Yu Hui said seriously: "It's true, your brother Yong said that a building belongs to your name. If you get married in the future, it will be used as a dowry for you. If, if you, you really have made up your mind, then
Give you a lifelong pension.
Hearing this, Hong Ying hugged Yu Hui and cried loudly, crying loudly. While crying, she said: Sister, the Liu family owes me nothing in the past life or in this life.
The next day, Liu Yong's family rented a ship, loaded it with large and small bags, large and small boxes, and headed for Shanghai.
There were several boats going to Shanghai together, and it really felt like a smooth escape.
Along the way, the mood of the children was completely different from that of the adults. They felt everything was so new. They climbed in and out of the cabin and asked the adults this and that. But the adults were worried. When will they return home this time? Taiping
Will the army be able to keep their old home when they arrive in Nanxun? Where will they settle down when they arrive in Shanghai?
In Liu Yong's cabin, Xiao Dongmei kept asking Hong Ying: Auntie, is Shanghai fun?
Hong Ying smiled and said: Shanghai is very fun. There are many big ships in the Huangpu River.
Xiao Dongmei asked: Then why is there no big ship in the river in front of our house?
Hong Ying said with a smile: The big ship is very big, bigger than my house. The big ship on the river in front of my house cannot come in.
Xiao Dongmei asked again: Auntie, is there anyone on the big ship?
Hong Ying touched Dongmei's head and said with a smile: Yes, yes. When you get to Shanghai, aunt will take you to see the big ship.
Xiao Dongmei was so happy that she clapped her hands and jumped up in the cabin. Oh! We are going to see the big ship. We are going to see the big ship.
The ship docked at the "Dada" pier.
In the Huangpu River, various boats are flowing continuously, and various rickshaws are "dinging" on the road. The winter plums and autumn plums are dazzled.
There were a lot of people and bags, so Liu Yong called a few rickshaws, which was a bit overwhelming, all the way to Xiafei Road.
Arriving at a community on Xiafei Road, Liu Yong took out the key, opened the courtyard gate, and entered the courtyard. Everyone had smiles on their faces.
Two villas with red walls and gray tiles are close together, well-proportioned and embedded in the green bushes. A huge yard is a complete whole, surrounded by various flowers.
Everyone was busy unloading things from the rickshaw.
Dongmei took Hong Ying's hand and asked: Auntie, is this our home in Shanghai?
Hong Ying smiled and said: It should be.
Yu Hui also interjected and asked Dongmei: Do you like it?
Dongmei said: I like it.
Yu Hui asked again: Which one do you like?
Dongmei innocently pointed with her hand and said: My aunt, sister and I live in this building, and my parents and grandmothers live in this building.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Just follow Dongmei's arrangement. Anyway, it's convenient to have a courtyard and a restaurant behind.
Hong Ying took Dongmei and Qiumei into the villa. The bedrooms were upstairs, and the kitchen, dining room, and living room were below. There was a crystal lamp hanging in the center of the living room, sofas around it, and carpets on the floor. Everything looked elegant.
.
When Hong Ying saw all this, her mood became complicated for some reason, and she even shed tears. She was recalling a conversation with Yu Hui. Yu Hui said seriously: "It's true, your brother Yong said,
A house belongs to your name. If you get married, it will be used as a dowry for you. If, if you, you really make up your mind, I will support you for the rest of your life.
Hong Ying thought, this house belongs to her name? Before she died, my old boss said that the Liu family owed me a debt. He was wrong. It was not the Liu family that owed me. I was just a servant of the Liu family. It was me, Hong Ying.
The Song family owes the Liu family. What should I do? Leave here quickly, and I can’t bear to leave Dongmei and Qiumei. Although the child did not fall from me, but just like what fell from me, the child also needs her. I
What to do? Hong Ying burst into tears.
Liu Yong came in and broke Hong Ying's train of thought.
When Liu Yong saw Hong Ying like this, he felt puzzled and asked with concern: "What are you doing? Is there something unhappy? Did I make you angry?"
Hong Ying shook his head.
Liu Yong asked: Then why?
Hong Ying waited for a moment, hugged Liu Yong, leaned his head on Liu Yong's shoulder, and burst into tears. He said: Brother Yong, you are treating me like this. I will never be able to repay this debt in my lifetime.
Liu Yong suddenly realized it, touched Hong Ying's head and said: Brother should treat sister, should, should.
Then he told Hong Ying that with tap water, all he had to do was twist the old man and the water would come out; when the toilet was in use, all he had to do was press his hand and it would flush away.
Hong Ying did not expect that life in Shanghai would be so convenient. This chapter has been completed!
