Chapter 41
Although everyone knows that the trial is just a walk, the heroine has already decided that it is Hong Lan. But when the film officially started, Hong Zhengbao had a big fanfare and invited the brothers from the top and bottom to celebrate the baby daughter.
I don’t know whether it was because Xu Xingcheng’s confession in the studio that day reached his ears. The banquet did not invite the Xu family, and naturally it was impossible to invite the Lin family.
After drinking the wine, Hong Zhengbao pulled Luo Fusheng to his side. “Floating, your injuries are almost gone, and it’s time to come out and do things.”
“Yes. Father.” Luo Fusheng said nothing. Hou Li was in a hurry. Does this mean that he would take the terminal business back in his hand? He hurried over with his glass of wine. “Hongye, report something to you. Since the terminal took over since this time, the profit has doubled. The brothers have more money in their pockets, and they all say thank you.
“Huh. It doesn’t matter how it turns. The running dog.” Hong Lan rolled his eyes next to him. She had heard that the Hongwan Society had recently approached Hou Li, and a large amount of Japanese goods came in from the Honggang terminal. There must be no benefit to him. If the guys can get ten or eight more, Hou Li can take more than ten times and one hundred times.
“Lan’er, don’t be rude.” Hong Zhengbao scolded her daughter. “Ali, you are naturally at ease with your ability to handle things. I am very relieved to see you at the dock.”
Hou Li got a promise from Hong Ye that he would not move the fat in his mouth, and he was relieved, and looked at Luo Fusheng proudly.
Hong Zhengbao continued to talk to Luo Fusheng. “Since everything on the dock is now left to your uncle, I will arrange something for you.”
He made all the brothers quiet and announced a decision. “When I am young, I will take over all the Hongbang smokehouses in Shanghai Beach. In the future, if there is anything in the smokehouse, I will go directly to MGM to report to Shawdang.”
“Yes!” The brothers answered uniformly. Hou Li was a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, but he could hardly tell.
Most of the profit points of the terminal business he took were on opium imports. The Red Pill Club, Jardine Yangxing and East India Company all need to give him some benefits. But in the end, the terminal is only a downstream channel of the cigarette hall. If Luo Fusheng wanted to supply the card, he had no right to use this right. Those cunning foreigners will meet the wind and make the rudder to post to Luo Fusheng.
Luo Fusheng was as surprised as everyone else. His uncle had not disclosed a tone before that he would take care of the tobacco house. To be honest, he also didn’t want to take over the smoke shop. He watched too many people in MGM for the death of the Aurong family. Although he didn’t want to get along with the money, he intuitively felt that it was a harmful thing.
The father-in-law was drunk at this dinner, and he was also drunk a lot. Before leaving, the last set of people was sent away, and his uncle called him into Megmi’s suite.
As soon as the door was closed, the drunkenness in his father’s eyes had disappeared …
After his father-in-law left, Luo Fusheng put Tianying’s record on the record player. He threw himself on the hardboard bed and lay in bed alone.
On the second day, Luo Fusheng just got up, and the waiter of MGM came and knocked on the door, and brought in a delicate bracelet. “Young Master, this was just sent by a girl. She said that you should hand it over to Master Xu.”
Luo Fusheng rubbed his bracelet, and the fingers pierced by the edges of the stars hurt slightly. “Did she say anything?”
“No.”
Does this mean rejecting bamboo? Luo Fusheng couldn’t understand, he had already explained to her the reason why Xu Xingcheng abandoned medical service, plus the last confession. How could Tianying doubt Xu Xingcheng’s sincerity?
He thought about it or chased it out, and he didn’t go far before he met Tianying and walked out of the house with a bag of raw fried bread. Duan Tianying looked up and saw him, and the two smiled at each other across the crowd of vehicles on the road.
They sat on the stairs in front of the Xujiahui church and shared the fried bao. “I remember when I was in the cave, you promised to go back to the world and buy me fried dumplings. How can I become you now?”
If it weren’t for her to take the initiative, he almost felt that what happened in the cave was something of a previous life. Don’t dare to mention or dare to recall.
“I’ll invite you again next time.” Luo Fusheng took a bite of raw fried buns, and tasted like chewing wax. “Why is the bracelet back? I can see that Mozhu really cares about you.”
“I know.” Duan Tianying’s elbows were propped on his knees, looking forward. “I believe he is willing to give up the surname Xu for me, but I can’t help but surname Duan. My life was given by my father and brother.”
Duan Tianying told Luo Fusheng about her life experience and her father’s arrangement that she would marry Duan Tianci at the end of the year. But concealing Xu Ruian’s dirty behavior, his brother must not want others to know these things.
Luo Fusheng didn’t expect that there were so many twists and turns in between, and he pondered for a long time. “You can pay for it in many other ways. Losing your lifelong happiness is not the best option.”
“Anyway, it is impossible for me and Xu Xingcheng. My brother treats me very well, and it is not the same to marry.” Tian Ying smiled bitterly, but he said nothing.
Luo Fusheng wanted to ask, what about me? Since everyone is the same, can I? But the words swallowed back to his lips. He cannot betray the bamboo.
Behind the church door was open, and a hymn “Kannon Hymn” was sung inside. The choir children’s voices are ethereal and clear.
Tianying looked at him curiously. “Where is this?”
“Xujiahui’s Catholic Church. Want to go in and see?” Luo Fusheng took her hand and pulled her off the ground.
Entering the church, Tianying looked around and was infected by the solemn and holy atmosphere in the church. Tian Ying has never heard such praises before. The solemn atmosphere in the church and the pious expression of the children in the choir gave Tian Ying a sense of inexplicable awe.
The two of them sat in the back row. Tianying saw the people around him folded their hands and lowered their heads, and secretly asked Luo Fusheng. “What are they doing?”
Luo Fusheng smiled and replied. “They are praying silently to their Lord God, some are confessing their sins, some are praying for their wishes.”
“I understand, I have the same meaning to worship the Buddha.” Tian Ying learned the way of the person next to him, folded his hands, and prayed to the Lord silently in his heart. She looked at Luo Fusheng’s indifferent look. “Why don’t you pray?”
“I don’t believe these.” My sins are unforgivable, and my wishes cannot be fulfilled. Luo Fusheng has always believed in my order and I can’t help it.
The carols of the children of the choir gradually subsided, and the followers opened their eyes and sat up.
At this time, a shepherd boy holding a donation box was walking around among the followers.
The children are in the nursery, and the church will hold such fundraising activities every once in a while. The church members will actively donate some property to help the operation of the nursery school.
The little shepherd had walked to Tianying and Luo Fusheng. Luo Fusheng took out a lot of scattered banknotes and silver dollars from his pocket, but he didn’t know how many of them were stuffed into the donation box. The child bowed to him and said thank you, the Lord will bless you.
Tianying quickly went to dig out her purse. But searching all over the body found that he didn’t bring money today. She looked at Luo Fusheng in embarrassment. “Can you lend me some money? I’m in a hurry to go out. The purse falls at home.”
“All thrown in.” Luo Fusheng pointed innocently to the donation box, indicating that the landlord’s family had no more food.
Duan Tianying looked at the children in sorry. “Sorry, my sister didn’t bring any money today. Will I give it to you next time?”
The child smiled, kissed the back of her hand, said that the Lord would bless you, and left. Tianying felt even more ashamed.
After the church service was finished, the followers left the church one after another. They had just got up and walked out of the long row of seats, and the children in the choir in the distance yelled “Fusheng Brother” and ran over to surround Luo Fusheng and Tianying. Drag them to the turf in the backyard of the church.
Tianying looked at the children in surprise. “Why do they know you?”
Luo Fusheng blinked at her slyly. “They are my little lovers.”
Xiaojia: ” Brother Fusheng, I didn’t see you last week. We miss you so much.”
Xiaole: “Brother Fusheng, did you promise to bring us the candy last time?”
The rest of the children looked at him expectantly. Luo Fusheng didn’t know where to do the trick and took out a handful of colorful sugar and handed it to Tianying’s hands. “This is Sister Tianying. She bought the candy for you. What do you say to this sister when you received the candy?”
The children said in unison: “Thank you Tianying!”
Tianying glanced at Luo Fusheng and knew that he was borrowing candy to ease the embarrassment that he had not donated money. They played harder with the children, and the scene was suddenly lively and lovely.
At this moment, Sister Mary came over to say hello to Luo Fusheng. “Mr. Luo, have you come to see the children again?”
Luo Fusheng stopped and talked to the nun, while Tianying continued to send sweets to the children.
“Thanks to you and Mr. Xu, Mr. Lin ‘s support for the nursery school. We have successfully received 13 children recently. Mrs. Lin recently raised a large sum of money for the nursery school at the Women ‘s Charity Auction Thank you for your kindness. “
“Nun is polite, is Guoguo better?” Guoguo is a baby who was abandoned in the nursery due to congenital heart disease. When I picked it up, my lips turned purple, and I was about to go. At that time, the three brothers happened to come to send the donation, but Xu Xingcheng saved him. Since that time, Xu Xingcheng will come here as a free clinic for children.
“It’s much better after taking Dr. Xu’s medicine. By the way, Mr. Xu has just arrived. I thought you were here together.” Sister Mary pointed to a figure in the distance, and Xu Xingcheng carried a medicine chest from Walk in outside.
Xu Xingcheng walked in front of them and glanced at the baby born with Luo Fusheng. He had just seen them having fun just a long distance away. As soon as he saw him, Tian Ying’s smile disappeared. And the necklace on her wrist was gone, Xu Xingcheng’s eyes dimmed. With a strong smile, Yang lifted the medicine box in his hand. “I brought the device today and checked the children.”
Sister Mary didn’t see the subtle atmosphere between the three, and sincerely thanked Xu Xingcheng. “Thank you for praising the Lord.”
After that, the nun clapped her hands and said to the children. “Okay, kids, line up. Brother Xu wants to check your health, OK?”
“I’m going first.” Tian Ying didn’t expect to hit Xu Xingcheng, embarrassed, and put the undispensed candy in his hand into Luo Fusheng’s hand. Luo Fusheng held her in one hand. “Wait and wait, don’t worry. You can see if Xu Xingcheng is the Xu family you imagine.”
Xu Xingcheng sat at the table with simple equipment for auscultation. The children lined up, and Tianying stood beside Luo Fusheng, seriously watching Xu Xingcheng check each child.
Xu Xingcheng was about to give an injection to a little girl. The little girl shook her head in fear and cried. Xu Xingcheng held her on her knees and sat down. “Xiao Shuang, don’t cry, just have a pain. After the injection, Brother Xu will give you candy?”
He stacked a small frog with sugar paper in his hand and gave it to Xiao Shuang. Xiao Shuang was relishing playing with the paper frog, and he had already finished punching the needle before he could recover. “Really good. Xiao Shuang is so brave. Brother rewards you with more sugar!” He took out two sugars from the white coat for the girl.
“Thank you brother.” The little girl gave a kiss on Xu Xingcheng’s face.
The children behind raised their hands and said they saw sugar. “I will also get an injection, I will also get an injection.”
The scene is very warm and lovely. In the sun, Xu Xingcheng wore a white coat like a gold rim. His warm smile and voice were the places that fascinated Tianying. Tianying was obsessed with watching it unconsciously.
Luo Fusheng secretly put the bracelet back in her hand. “Think again. If you want to go with him, I can think of a way for you.”
