The Redemption of Spy War

Chapter 122 012: New Year Gifts (a short chapter)
Fortunately, where there are many acquaintances, there is also a lot of gossip. Meng Ying happened to be fine and found out as soon as she inquired. It turned out that Qian Yuxiu's brother had sacrificed his life to protect Meng Siyuan when they attacked Shanghai. She made a wish before her death that Meng Siyuan find his mother to fulfill his filial piety. , as a result, Qian Yuxiu fell in love with Meng Siyuan and wanted to marry him. Meng Siyuan was forced by kindness and finally agreed.

Of course, the price is to disappoint his girlfriend Zhou Yu.

Although Meng Ying felt that Meng Siyuan's behavior should go to the brain hospital to see if there was charcoal in it, but she also knew in her heart that in this era, there would be many similar things. Every time there was a war, it would destroy the people at the bottom. If you continue to survive at this time, all kinds of similar unreasonable things will appear together. In the last world, didn’t the Kuomintang/Party pilots remarry their junior students after their husbands died?
This is the sorrow of the times. It is not people who are wrong, but human nature.

Reversing the feudal traditions of thousands of years and healing the aftermath of wars of hundreds of years is not at all easier than reviving China.

Although she understood it clearly, she felt that this was a difficult time for her. She acted indifferently to Yuxiu's several visits. After a while, Yuxiu also reflected on it and scolded her for looking down on others because she didn't know how to do medicine.

But this is fair and comfortable, Yuxiu's unreasonable character and love to take advantage of small things are destined to be unpleasant. Liking her made Meng Siyuan go everywhere to apologize when he was busy with work, Meng Ying thought maliciously, probably half of his monthly salary was used to give gifts to apologize.

But it's none of her business. Time makes the sycamore leaves turn yellow and then fall, the sky is low, and snowflakes are rare in the south of the Yangtze River, covering this prosperous Shanghai with a layer of silver. The great and ordinary 1949 Years passed like this.

Seeing that other people's houses are decorated with lanterns and festoons, busy for the country or for the family, Meng Ying's heart is very disturbed.Your cousin invited her to celebrate the new year together, but your family is also a big family, and she also knew that her cousin's wife in this life is not her good friend Hu Xiangyi, so she shied away from going, bought a train ticket instead, and went straight to In Beijing, I went to visit the real widowed old man—Uncle Xie Peidong.

Even for such a staunch proletarian, when he saw his niece in the cold winter, there was a hint of surprise on his plain face, as if he had been warmed by a match in the cold sky.But he quickly suppressed his facial expression, accepted her modest salute calmly, and said: "I just received your telegram two days ago. I didn't prepare anything. The western-style building was requisitioned by the country. I am now in the staff dormitory. Here, I have no choice but to book a guest house for you."

Even though Meng Ying had something on her mind, she couldn't help comforting the old man who had started to look hunched over, "The organization has arranged for me to work in Shanghai. Do you want to consider coming to Shanghai after retirement?"

After all, her aunt passed away early, her cousin Xie Mulan was a master who put herself to death, and the rest of the Fang family were scattered all over the world. She is the only real close relative of Xie Peidong in mainland China.

Of course, if her marriage contract with Zheng Yaoxian still counts, then there is also a niece and son-in-law.But considering that she was not 100% sure where Zheng Yaoxian was in this life, she didn't mention it.

But even though she was living in a guest house, on the night of the Chinese New Year, Meng Ying still listened to the sound of firecrackers and boiled water to cook dumplings with her uncle in the boiler room of the unit. In fact, she was not very good at making dough. After all, she was not good at making dumplings. If she is free from illness and disaster, Zheng Yaoxian and his family will have to thank the gods and Buddhas in the sky for their blessings. How can they ask her to do housework?

It is ironic that now that she is in excellent health, her old friends have dispersed. It is obviously the New Year's day for family reunion, but she has a desolate attitude, and Xie Peidong has always been silent and will not comfort. Damn it, the two of them were busy doing their own things on New Year's Eve, looking at each other without saying a word.

In this awkward atmosphere, the system actually went online, and the updated interface displayed:

It is detected that the host is in a bad mood, which is not suitable for the current festive atmosphere, so there is a New Year gift, do you want to open it?

Meng Ying:? ? ?
What's the situation? Who stipulates that you must be in a good mood during the Chinese New Year?Returning the New Year gift, is there any cause and effect relationship?

But it's nice to have a gift, and she immediately chose to "open it".

It turned out that at almost the same moment, a few People's Liberation Army entered the dilapidated boiler room. The old man in charge looked like a ruthless person, and he had to play the villain in a movie. He said, "This should be Comrade Fang, right?" , Minister Qian invites you to go."

Meng Ying was speechless, for the Chinese New Year, you gave me such a New Year gift?

Fortunately, Xie Peidong was stable. He stood up firmly and blocked Meng Ying behind him, and said unhurriedly, "Fifth Master, I know discipline won't ask too much, but the Fang family has done enough for the party." , the child is just looking at me, a widow and lonely old man, coming to celebrate the New Year together, what are you doing?"

Xie Peidong's words were very sincere, and there was even a pleading in his tone that he didn't notice, but the man named Wu Ye was unmoved, and just said: "You are also an old comrade, you should know that the more you The more time you can avoid people's eyes and ears."

Meng Ying's heart beat faster, not because she was frightened, because she saw Wu Ye took out a ring, which was almost identical to the sapphire ring she never left her hand.

　I have read everyone’s messages. I am often criticized for my wrong ideas after work, and I feel restless and stuck. But if I write more slowly, I will persevere. Thank you to the readers who have never given up on writing.
