The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 410

In the early years of the Republic of China, rice was very rare in troubled times.In a shop facing the street, there is a huge wooden sign "Liu Ji Rice".The dark team was overcrowded and could not be seen at a glance.Some unconscious people rushed to buy rice, constantly disrupting the order of the team, complaining and making noise.

At the end of the noisy line, two shaggy-haired teenagers just came in.They were soon pressed against their chests and backs by the stranger, unable to breathe.

In the chaos, someone was yelling: "Oh, damn thief, the money is gone!"

The last time I was pickpocketed by thieves in the vegetable market, Qilan instinctively covered the pocket of the wallet, seeing his companion still squeezing hard, I was really worried for him: "Brother Chen, beware of pickpockets"

Chen Xing grinned: "Don't worry, I didn't bring any money with me at all. You will be responsible for buying the rice, and I will only be responsible for sending away those who jump in the queue!"

The division of labor is quite clear.It's just that the team didn't move for a long time, killing their patience.

At this time, two tall and burly men gave Chen Xing a hard push from left to right, and threw him out of the line.

He tried several times but couldn't return to the original place, and finally got annoyed.

"Oh my god, there are more people jumping in the queue than there are locusts in the field! Look at the twists and turns of this line, which is almost three miles away."

"Why don't we stop buying rice and go to see flour and other edible things. Go back early and have dinner, everyone has been waiting all night." Qilan also squeezed his money bag and got out of the crowd.

One after the other, they stopped by to look for food, and when they saw steaming steamed buns, they put them in rice bags without fear of being hot.Not far from the opposite street is the Liji tailor shop that I once visited.

Qilan glanced over there inadvertently, and a familiar figure was getting off a car.He walked in that direction involuntarily.The image of the woman in the field of vision became clearer and clearer.

"Mrs. Lin!" The boy almost blurted out, so excited that he couldn't even hold the bag of things in his hand steadily.Chen Xing, who didn't know the truth, also followed, thinking that he wanted to go to the store to see the fabrics for making new clothes.

Seeing Mrs. Lin who hadn't heard from her for a long time, Qilan was just happy for tens of seconds, and suddenly froze in place.Since the Lin family suffered an accident more than a month ago, Lin Mi has been wandering and homeless with his father.She looked good in front of her eyes, and she was still living the life of a noble lady as before.

Mrs. Lin didn't see a boy staring at her by the side of the road.The makeup on her face was thicker than before, and she was wearing a new light-colored overcoat with spotlessly polished high-heeled shoes showing from the hem.

When she got to the door, Boss Li enthusiastically came out to welcome her in.Qilan noticed that there were two young men in military uniform behind her.The color and style of their military uniforms were completely different from those worn by the guards of the Lin family he had seen before.

The time on the watch was only eight o'clock in the morning.He couldn't help frowning: What are you doing in the tailor shop so early?Is there something important to do?

Lin Mi once told him that she and her mother like to go shopping after ten o'clock in the morning, when the shops are more open and everything is available.It stands to reason that it is not easy to change a person's living habits in a short period of time.

"Brother Chen, you go back with these two bags of food first. I saw Lin Mi's mother. When she comes out of the store, I want to find a chance to ask about the situation."

At first, Chen Xing refused to go back alone, but later he was worried that Chris and the others would be hungry, so he had to leave first.Before leaving, I gave a piece of advice:
"Xiaolan, help Miss Lin Mi to a certain extent. We are now on her father's side, and don't care about her mother's side. We can't help both sides."

These words are quite reasonable.When Qilan was standing in the wind waiting for someone, she gradually figured it out.Where Mrs. Lin lives now and who she lives with is her private matter.But she was still in the city, but she decided not to look for her daughter and husband. Why?
She was the only customer in the tailor shop.Boss Li ordered the people in the store to serve tea and snack fruits, and carefully accompanied him:

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, I've double-checked, and it's true that the lady of the He family picked up the wrong clothes. I've already called her, and she should be there soon."

Early in the morning, He Shi'an was still sleeping in bed when she was woken up by the servant's knock on the door. "Miss, Li Ji Tailor shop called and said that they took the wrong cheongsam when they left last time. The customer came to the shop today, please deliver it yourself."

"You took the wrong cheongsam?" She rubbed her eyes, got up yawning, and went to the closet to carefully rummage through the pile of new cheongsams.Sure enough, there is a white one that is different, and the slit is obviously much lower.

Shi'an patted her head and remembered.At that time, Li Yan spilled the tea in front of Mrs. Lin, she was thinking of how to cover it up quickly, but she didn't have time to check the big bag of clothes that the clerk handed over.

He kindly meddled in a nosy business, but unexpectedly caused trouble for nothing.She reluctantly took the white cheongsam off the hanger and shook it twice in her hands. "Fortunately, I haven't worn it once. The clothes can go wherever they come from."

After washing and grooming, she hurriedly finished her breakfast, and before leaving, she checked her hairstyle and clothes several times in front of the mirror.In order not to make her father suspicious, she decided to go alone, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

A rickshaw from far to near.Qilan was lowering his head to think about the question, and for a moment he didn't notice who was getting out of the car.Shi'an looked at the familiar man standing on the side of the road blowing the cold wind, suppressed a smile and came over and gently pushed him on the shoulder.

"Today's day is too coincidental. I can meet you here when I go out to return some clothes." She had a relaxed and happy expression, and even straightened his collar, "We'll find a place to drink tea and chat after we're done. "

Because Mrs. Lin was also in the store with guards, Qilan only wanted to let Shi'an leave here as soon as possible. "Okay, go and come back quickly. I'll wait here."

Shi'an was in a good mood, holding the slippery silk cheongsam in her arms, she happily ran to the door of the store.Boss Li appeared on time, "Miss He, please come inside. If you bring the clothes, please leave them to me."

She returned the white cheongsam with both hands, turned and walked back with relief, but was stopped by the smiling boss Li.

"Miss He, please go upstairs! The owner of this cheongsam said that you had to come here for the hard work early in the morning. I am sorry and have prepared a gift for you."

This mysterious master is too kind to refuse.Shi'an felt that she had taken the wrong clothes from someone else, and that she might not be polite if she didn't meet her, so she had to bite the bullet and go upstairs with him to the meeting place.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw the two guards who had been here last time.Mrs. Lin stood up from the sofa, holding a small red satin box in her hand, and beckoned to her gracefully:

"Miss He, please accept a small gift."
