At dusk in midsummer, a rainstorm suddenly hit.
The calm sea was suddenly stormy and the waves surged up, diluting the heat of midsummer.
The docks in Singapore's seaport are still noisy at the moment.
It was getting dark, but the people didn't disperse.
The dock lights up.
No one held the umbrella, because the wind was too strong, the umbrella couldn't be held at all, so I had to rely on my raincoat.
There was a blur in my sight and I could hardly open my eyes.
At the seawall where the lights of the wharf could not be seen, a man stood quietly.
The darkness wrapped him and the rain poured on him. He was wearing a black raincoat and looked at the undulating sea in the distance like a standing stone pile.
The rain hit his face without him noticing it.
At 8:30 pm, the long overdue cruise finally showed its head in the white waves.
The man saw it.
He was a little relaxed, straight and even a little stiff.
There was a strange radian on the corner of his lips. He said silently in the strong wind and heavy rain: "here we are, finally here we are."
His voice was soft and inaudible. Even he couldn't hear it clearly, but his lips opened slightly.
His hands were clenched tightly and his knuckles were white.
He counted word by word: "one, two, three, four. OK, here we are."
His expression was like a bloodthirsty beast. His eyes were red. He didn't know whether it was congestion or crying.
When the cruise ship approached the dock, he didn't stop to watch. He didn't even have to look. He knew who came down from the cruise ship.
He turned and disappeared into the darkness for a moment.
——*——*——
Gu Qingzhou waited at the dock for more than two hours.
A rainstorm delayed the arrival of the cruise ship that had docked at more than seven until half past eight.
The rainstorm gradually decreased, but it didn't stop.
Gu Qingzhou saw a familiar figure in the storm and hurriedly waved: "uncle, brother, Ying Ying."
Her voice was not loud, the wharf was noisy, and the waves and wind and rain were working together. She thought she couldn't hear it. When she was ready to let the adjutant shout again, Gu Shao looked at her.
He was slightly surprised.
He had carried a lot of luggage, but now he left it all behind. He crowded the crowd and came quickly to Gu Qingzhou first.
"How can you pick it up in person? It's stormy. What if you get caught in the rain?" Gu Shao was very anxious to see that her raincoat was wet and her hair was stained with rain.
Gu Qingzhou smiled: "elder brother, I have been pregnant for more than two months. Have you forgotten the time of the cruise?"
Gu Shao received a telegram from Gu Qingzhou three months ago, when he was in Nanjing.
Gu Qingzhou sent a telegram to tell him that she had two sons, twins.
The supervisor of her company made the decision and named the two boys. The eldest son was "Kaichang", who was the next generation of the Secretary's family; The second son, called "quefang", is the bearer of the next generation of the Secretary's family.
Gu Shao is still a little incredible.
In his memory, he always looked like a young girl in a canoe. With two long braids and a pair of watery eyes, he sat in the living room of Gu residence for the first time.
In a twinkling of an eye, Gu Qingzhou has been in Singapore for a year.
"I haven't seen you for a year. You're the mother of two children." Gu shaodao.
Gu Qingzhou said with a smile, "three, I still have yuzao."
At this time, others also got off the ship.
Gu Qingzhou was surprised and delighted to see an unexpected person: ye Shan.
She was stunned: "how do you..."
What are you doing here?
She was a little surprised.
Three months ago, Gu Qingzhou successfully gave birth to twins and sent a telegram to his uncles sun Heming and Gu Shao in Nanjing.
When she was in Nanjing, she had close contact with sun Heming and his wife. Her aunt was a Singaporean. She often said that she was not used to living in Nanjing and wanted to go back to her mother's house.
Later, however, things got in the way. Sun and his wife didn't come, but the Si family moved to Singapore first.
When Gu Qingzhou's telegram was sent, his uncle called back and said they planned to move in by the way.
Besides them, there are the Ruan family and the Xu family.
Therefore, a large group of people came this time. Gu Qingzhou expected it, but she didn't expect Ye Shan to come.
"Didn't expect me to come?" Ye Shan saw Gu Qingzhou's surprise. "I just want to surprise you, or I'll send a telegram in advance."
"What a surprise." Gu Qingzhou hugged her.
Behind Ye Shan stood a man holding an umbrella for her. Suddenly, Gu Qingzhou was slightly surprised that this man was Hua Yunfang.
On Hua Yunfang's left cheek, a new scar was added. It was very deep and heavy from the end of his eyes to the wing of his nose, which destroyed his charm and took away the femininity of his face.
If a man with a solemn face has such scars, he will look ferocious. He can be matched on Huayun Fang's face and add some masculinity to him for no reason, so that his face finally looks like a normal man.
"... what should I call him now?" Gu Qingzhou asked Ye Shan with a smile.
"What else can I call you? Mr. Hua." Ye Shandao.
When Gu Qingzhou was in Nanjing last year, she often telegraphed with Ye Wei. At that time, ye Wei also said that ye Shan only improved her relationship with huayunfang and did not get married.
Now looking at their intimacy, Gu Qingzhou is not sure for a moment.
Hua Yunfang saw her question and explained, "Mrs. Si, we're married. We're going to spend our honeymoon in Britain. I'll stop by to see you."
Gu Qingzhou suddenly realized.
"Congratulations." Gu Qingzhou road.
One after another, all the people came down. There were hundreds of people, all blocked in the dock.
Gu Qingzhou hurriedly said, "come this way. The car is on the seawall."
Gu Shaozhen saw her ex girlfriend in the crowd.
The Ruan family and the Xu family have long planned to come to Singapore, but they have no way.
Gu Qingzhou took them to a busy street and contracted two hotels before settling them all down properly.
Sun Heming's family, Gu Shao, Gu Ying, ye Shan and Hua Yunfang were brought back to their residence in Singapore by Gu Qingzhou.
"This is Huamin district." Seeing that they were surprised at the street, Gu Qingzhou explained.
The streets here are very Southern Fujian style, almost all of which are Chinese architecture.
Singapore is a British colony. It is called the three states together with Malacca and Penang. With the development of Singapore's oil, rubber and tin industries, it has replaced Penang as the first capital of the three states.
More than 70% of Singapore is Chinese. The Chinese people have an authority called the Chinese people's security department, which is almost as famous as the governor's office.
The governor is British, and the Secretary of the Chinese people's security department is Chinese.
Two years ago, Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei returned to Pingcheng before the Mid Autumn Festival in August.
At the end of that year, the war officially began. At the beginning, it was a small-scale war. Later, it became more and more intense and gradually began to unify.
Because the war situation is unknown, many rich people run away, and many come to Singapore. Not long after the war, the commander's army had an old disease, which was very serious gout, and one leg could hardly stand and walk; Si qiongzhi had a teacher who went to the best hospital in Singapore and soon became the director of the Department. She specially invited her to Singapore for internship and planned to focus on training her; Gu Qingzhou is pregnant
, vomit in the dark. After considering all kinds of things, Si Xingpei slipped back from the Huainan battlefield for five days, made arrangements and sent his family to Singapore.
