There is a Liulin Alley in West Main Street, Liantai County, which is famous for the willow trees planted on both sides of the road. Although there are not many residents in this alley, they are rich or expensive. Xie Wenqian's home is here.
Xie Wenqian was born into a scholarly family. Her father, Xie Jinnan, was originally a teacher at the famous Taiyuan Yangxing Middle School. Later, due to the fall of Taiyuan, Taiyuan schools moved away to avoid disaster. Yangxing Middle School also moved to Taigu, and was soon forced to close its doors.
Xie Jinnan had no choice but to go home.
Since Xie Jinnan only had a daughter, Xie Wenqian, he raised her as a boy since she was a child, which also developed Xie Wenqian's independent character.
At noon, after lunch, Xie Jinnan stopped Xie Wenqian who wanted to go back to the boudoir.
"Wen Qian, please wait a moment, dad has something to tell you."
Xie Wenqian could only stop and ask, "Dad, what can I do for you?"
Seeing the handsome Xie Wenqian standing in front of him, Xie Jinnan felt a little headache, "Wen Qian, dad wants to ask you, what is your relationship with that kid from the Gao family?"
Xie Wenqian's pretty face blushed slightly, "What relationship can I have with him?"
Xie Jinnan's face sank: "It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter, you still run to the militia every day."
Xie Wenqian defended: "Dad... I went to the vigilante group to work, not for anything else."
"Work...you're a girl, you're not good at anything, why do you have to go to a place like the militia?"
Xie Wenqian pouted, "Dad, my daughter thinks you are biased against the militia. You have also seen what the militia has done these days. How many Japanese have they killed in the past two months? Even the Central Daily News reported it
It’s our deeds.”
"You..." Xie Jinnan's eyes widened and he was about to get angry, but his wife Xie Wangshi stopped him.
Xie Wang was in her forties and looked very similar to Xie Wenqian in body and appearance. She stopped her husband, took her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "My dear, your father is not angry with you for working in the militia.
He is worried about you. You said that during the few months you were in the militia, how many times have the militia fought with the Japanese? Although you doctors don’t have to go into battle in person, bullets on the battlefield don’t have eyes. If a
How can your father and I survive if something happens accidentally?
And what makes your father most angry is not this. Mom asked you, what is going on between you and the young master of the Gao family? Now there are rumors outside that there is something unclear between you and Gao Hongming. Your father heard
When I heard the news, I was so angry that I almost went to the Gao family in person to settle the score with Gao Hongming."
"I……"
Xie Wenqian didn't know how to answer this question. Others wouldn't believe her if she had nothing to do with Gao Hongming, but it wasn't right to say that there was a relationship. She was speechless for a moment.
Her appearance in the eyes of Xie Jinnan and Xie Wang further confirmed their suspicions.
Xie Jinnan slammed the table, "It's unreasonable. You, a young girl who has not yet left the court, are having an affair with a married man. You are not ashamed, but I am still embarrassed. From tomorrow on, you will treat me honestly.
At home, you are not allowed to go to the Xiaocao Village Group anymore."
"father……"
Xie Wenqian became anxious as soon as she heard this.
"I still have a lot of things to do. How can I not go to Xiaocao Village?"
"If I say no, I just can't."
Xie Jinnan sneered, "Isn't Gao Hongming very capable? Wouldn't it be okay if he left you?"
"I……"
Xie Wenqian wanted to say something else, but then an old woman hurriedly came over and said, "Master... the young master of the Gao family is outside the door asking to see you."
"Young master of the Gao family?"
Seeing that Xie Jinnan didn't react for a moment, the old lady quickly added: "It's Young Master Gao Hongming of the Gao family."
Xie Jinnan's face darkened slightly, and he waved his hand in displeasure: "Tell him, I'm not free... I'm not here!"
"etc……"
Xie Wang quickly called out to the old lady, "Mother Zhao... did the young master of the Gao family come alone?"
Zhao Ma said: "No... the young master of the Gao family also brought several entourages and carried a lot of things?"
Mrs. Xie Wang turned to Xie Jinnan and said: "Master, the Gao family also has friendship with our Xie family. I remember that when the master of the Gao family was alive, you had dealt with him several times and got along well with him. Now Gao
The master is gone, but you have shut out his only son. If this spreads out, people may gossip."
"this……"
Xie Jinnan thought it made sense when he heard it. He was a teacher and he had a good reputation. After hearing this, he thought for a while: "Okay... then let him come in."
After saying that, he turned around and saw Xie Wenqian still here, his eyes widened, "Why are you still here? Why don't you go back to the house quickly."
"snort!"
After being told this by her father, Xie Wenqian reluctantly held her brother's hand and went out.
Soon, Gao Hongming, still dressed in military uniform, came to the living room under the guidance of Zhao's mother.
After seeing Xie Jinnan and Xie Wang sitting on the chairs, he saluted them with a military salute and said, "Junior Gao Hongming has met my uncle and aunt. They haven't seen each other for a long time. They are even more energetic."
Xie Jinnan looked at it and was secretly surprised.
Naturally, he had met Gao Hongming, but that was more than two years ago.
Although Gao Hongming was already in his twenties at that time, his face still had a hint of childishness, and his whole person looked cynical, like a playboy.
Gao Hongming is still the same person now, but compared with before, he seems to be a completely different person.
The whole person stood there like a straight pine tree. The original cynical look had long since disappeared, replaced by an indescribable calmness and perseverance, and the piercing eyes had a kind of calmness.
The majesty of majesty.
"This boy has changed so much." Xie Jinnan was secretly surprised, but he said lightly: "Hong Ming, you have changed a lot after not seeing you for several years. I almost didn't recognize you."
"Hong Ming... Hurry up and sit down." Xie Wang on the side also withdrew her gaze. This was the first time she met Gao Hongming. She was extremely satisfied after seeing Gao Hongming and hurriedly asked Gao Hongming to sit down.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt."
Gao Hongming sat down on Xie Jinnan's lower left hand and chatted with Xie Jinnan and his wife for a while, then said with a guilty look on his face: "Uncle... I came here specifically to apologize to you two elders.
Some time ago, my late father was killed. The younger generation was eager to avenge their father, so they formed a militia. Due to the extreme lack of doctors at the time, they had to coax sister Wen Qian into the militia. Unexpectedly, some rumors arose, which affected Wen Qian.
Sister Qian’s reputation.
This junior feels uneasy every time he thinks of this, so I came here today to apologize to you two elders."
After speaking, he stood up and bowed to the two old men.
"Hey... what are you doing?" Xie Wang quickly stood up and supported Gao Hongming.
"Good boy, since ancient times, the hatred of killing your father has been sworn in. There is nothing wrong with you avenging your father. Although this matter is a bit outrageous, it is understandable. There is no need to apologize to us personally."
