"If you agree to help this time, you may decide which cousin will be sent over next time."
"No way?"
"You still don't know Wang Shen? He is the best at this kind of thing."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Reply a letter and tell him that it can't be done. Solving one problem is equivalent to solving a bunch of troubles once and for all."
"This method of yours won't work."
"Why not?" he asked solemnly.
Xu Siqi said: "Wu Yanhui is already on his way here. It is estimated that he will arrive in Shanghai in a day or two..."
Ring ring ring!
The phone on the table rang.
"Hello?"
Xu Siqi reached out and picked up the phone.
"Siqi, what are you doing?" Gu Qingcheng's voice was on the other end of the phone.
Xu Siqi said: "Nothing to do, just chatting with Zheng Zheng."
"What's the date today?"
"24th."
"When is our wedding day?"
"December 26th, the tenth day of November."
"You finally remember, I thought you forgot." Gu Qingcheng's tone was obviously filled with emotion.
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "How could I forget such a big day..."
Recently, Gu Qingcheng personally took care of the decoration of the new house, including the purchase of daily necessities, taking care of everything.
This kind of thing is not what Xu Siqi is good at, and no one around him can count on it.
Gu Qingcheng said: "Do you have time tomorrow?"
Xu Siqi thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow is Christmas, a public holiday in the British Concession. I have time."
"Xinxin Department Store just called. Window screens, bedspreads, sofa covers, quilts, pajamas... In short, a lot of things I ordered have all arrived. You can pick them up with me tomorrow. I can't take so much by myself."
."
"Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
"Stupid. I have a wedding leave."
"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"No need. Mom is going to church tomorrow and she just happened to drop me off on the way. Just wait for me in front of Xinxin Department Store. See you there at nine o'clock in the morning."
"Okay, see you there or see you."
"Siqi..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing... I don't know what's going on, I always feel flustered."
"When you get married for the first time, you must be nervous. In fact, I am nervous too."
"Really?"
"Really. But it doesn't matter. Just wait until you have experience next time." Xu Siqi said jokingly.
"I hate it. Stop talking. Linglong asked me to try on a wedding dress. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Siqi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The day that seemed so far away at first will officially arrive in two days.
Marriage is undoubtedly a crucial life choice.
If you make the right choice, your journey will be smooth sailing. If you make the wrong choice, you will have difficulties and stumbles along the way.
Of course, this is not absolute.
But from a probability perspective, the possibility is greater.
He smiled solemnly and said: "Siqi, I really envy you."
"Why do you envy me?"
Xu Siqi picked up the letter on the table and took another look at the train number and time Wu Yanhui arrived in Shanghai.
He said solemnly: "You have already started a family and started a business, why aren't you envious?"
"Duplicity."
"I speak from my heart..."
"Seriously."
"ah?"
"Only now do I know why you are unwilling to leave the French Concession."
“…”
"Wang Lan from the Municipal Hospital, and Julie from Renhe Hospital. Seriously, if you step on two boats, aren't you afraid of capsizing and falling into the water?"
He smiled solemnly and said: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of falling into the water. I've been good at water since I was a child. No, how do you know these things?"
"Knowing that you and I are classmates, Wang Lan's mother came to see me once." Xu Siqi said calmly.
"Mother?"
"That's what mom meant."
"You don't need to translate. I mean, what does she want from you?"
"What else can I do? Ask about your family situation and what kind of person you are. Seriously, although I have never met Wang Lan, I can tell from her mother's conversation that she is deeply devoted to you. Even her mother came to her door.
This is about getting married."
He frowned solemnly and murmured: "That would be troublesome..."
"I'm just confused, you don't understand French, how do you usually communicate with Julie?" Xu Siqi asked.
Zheng Zheng smiled: "She can understand a little bit of Chinese. I speak and gesture. When we are just two people, we mainly rely on body language to communicate."
"Are you going to keep stepping into two different boats?"
"I don't want to get married too early."
"So, I say you are duplicitous!"
"I don't want to get married and I envy you to start a family and start a career, they are completely different things."
"Seriously, I checked for you. Wang Lan comes from a well-off family. I work as a trainee doctor in a municipal hospital. She is also pretty. If you don't cherish such a good condition, it will be too late when others understand.
Already."
After a solemn silence for a while, he sighed softly and said, "You are right. But what will Julie do if I marry Wang Lan?"
"I didn't realize that you are still a passionate person..."
Xu Siqi opened the drawer, took out a piece of white paper, and wrote a line of large characters on it: Picking up Wu Yanhui from Tianjin.
"At four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, go to Shanghai West Railway Station to pick someone up for me."
He solemnly took the whiteboard and said, "Otherwise, we are brothers and both face the same troubles. Hey, what should we do after we receive someone?"
"Find him a hotel to stay in first. When I'm done, I'll go find him."
"Are you really planning to get a patrol room?"
"Let's see and then..."
Xu Siqi had already heard about Wang Dongmei's situation, so he was not very worried.
Just doing a favor to my classmates.
Moreover, the cause and effect of the matter are all clear to Zheng Zheng. Even if something goes wrong in the future, at least he can explain himself.
…
Japanese Consulate.
Special Class 1 Principal’s Office.
Xiaozhi stood solemnly with his hands down, standing aside in an orderly manner.
Xiaozhi, whose real name is Sugawaraeda, is a latent agent placed by the Special Higher Education Department in the British Concession.
She has now regained her Japanese identity.
Nantian Yunzidao paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "From now on, you will be mainly responsible for the intelligence work in the Chinese community. There are many people who know you in the British Concession, especially in the Hongkou area. Try to do your best during the day.
Don’t come over here. Do you understand what I mean?”
"clear."
Sugawara-eda bowed and replied.
"Recently, the National Government and the British have gotten closer. According to intelligence, they seem to be discussing an aid plan. How much do you know about this matter?"
"To be precise, it is an aid plan involving many military projects."
"details."
"This is a top-secret matter and it's not clear yet."
Minami Yunko was silent for a while and then said: "Sugawara, the lurking plan failed. Not only did the headquarters not punish you, but it re-entrusted you with important tasks. Do you know why?"
