At dusk in midsummer, a rainstorm suddenly came.
The calm sea was suddenly stormy and the waves surged up, diluting the heat of midsummer.
The docks of Singapore's seaports are still in full swing.
It's getting dark, but people are still there.
The dock lights up.
No one holds an umbrella, because the wind is too strong, the umbrella can't be hit at all, only relying on the raincoat.
There was a blur in the sight, and the eyes could hardly open.
There was a man standing quietly on the seawall where the lights of the wharf were not visible.
The darkness wrapped him, and the rain poured on him. He wore a black raincoat, and looked at the undulating sea in the distance without blinking, like a solid stone stake.
He didn't feel the rain hitting his face.
At 8:30 p.m., the belated cruise ship finally showed its head in the white waves.
The man saw it.
He used to be a little relaxed, straight and even stiff.
His lips, with a strange arc, silently said in the strong wind and heavy rain: "here we are, finally, together."
His voice was so light that he could not hear it, not even himself, but his lips were slightly open.
His hands were tightly clenched, his knuckles white.
He counted every word: "one, two, three, four. OK, here we are. "
His expression, like a bloodthirsty beast, red eyes, I do not know whether it is congestion or crying.
When the cruise ship was near the wharf, he didn't stop to watch. He didn't even have to look. He knew who was coming from the cruise ship.
He turned around and disappeared in the dark for a moment.
Gu spent more than two hours waiting at the wharf.
A rainstorm delayed the original seven o'clock cruise ship to 8:30.
The rainstorm was getting smaller, but it didn't stop.
In the storm, Gu Qingzhou saw the familiar figure, and hurriedly waved: "uncle, brother, tassel."
Her voice was not loud, the quay was noisy, and the waves and wind and rain were all working together. She thought she could not hear her. When she was going to let the adjutant shout again, Gu Shao's eyes turned to her.
He was a little surprised.
He used to carry a lot of luggage, but at the moment he left it all behind, crowded the crowd and came to Gu Qingzhou first.
"How can you pick it up yourself? What can I do in case of heavy rain? " Gu Shao was very anxious to see that her raincoat was wet and her hair was stained with rain.
Gu chuckled: "elder brother, I have been out of the moon for more than two months. Do you forget the cruise time?"
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, the open-door son of the next generation of the Secretary's family; the second son was quefang, the carrier of the next generation of the Secretary's family.
Gu Shao is a bit unbelievable.
In his memory, he always looked like a young girl in a light boat. He wore two long braids and a pair of water smart eyes. He sat in the living room of the Gu mansion for the first time to eat.
In a flash, Gu Qingzhou has been in Singapore for a year.
"I haven't seen you in a year. You're the mother of two." Gu Shaodao.
Gu Qingzhou said with a smile, "three, I still have jade algae."
At this time, others got off the ship.
Gu Qingzhou was surprised and pleased to see an unexpected person: ye Shan.
She was confused: "how did you...
How did you come?"?
She was a little surprised.
Three months ago, Gu gave birth to a pair of twins. He sent a telegram to his uncle sun Heming and Gu Shao in Nanjing.
When she was in Nanjing, she had a close relationship with sun Heming and his wife. Her aunt was Singaporean. She often said that she was not used to living in Nanjing and wanted to go back to her mother's house.
However, after all kinds of things stumbled, sun Heming and his wife did not come, and the Secretary's family moved to Singapore first.
When the telegram of Gu Qingzhou's congratulation was sent, his uncle called back and said that they planned to move here by the way.
Besides them, there are Ruan family and Xu family.
So, this time, a large group of people came here. Gu expected that the light boat would come, but he didn't expect Ye Shan to come.
"I didn't expect to come, did I?" Ye Shan saw Gu Qingzhou's surprise. "I just want to give you a surprise, or I will send a telegram in advance."
"What a surprise." Gu canoe hugged her.
Behind Ye Shan, there is a man standing, supporting her umbrella. Suddenly, Gu Qingzhou was surprised again. This man was Hua Yunfang.
On Hua Yunfang's left cheek, a new scar was added, from the end of his eyes to the wing of his nose, which was very deep and heavy, destroying his charm and taking away the femininity of his face.
If it is a man with a solemn face, with such scars, it will appear vicious. It can be matched on Huayun's face. It adds some manliness to him without any reason, and makes his face look like a normal man at last.
"... what should I call him now?" Gu Qingzhou asks Ye Shan with a smile.
"What else can I call it? Mr. Hua. " Ye Shandao.
When Gu Qingzhou was in Nanjing last year, he often communicated with Ye Wu by telegram. At that time, ye Wu also said that ye Shan had only improved his relationship with Hua Yunfang and was not married.
Now, looking at their intimacy, I'm not sure that I can take care of the boat for a while.
Hua Yunfang saw her question and explained, "Mrs. Si, we are married. We are going to go to England for our honeymoon. I'll drop in and see you."
Gu Qingzhou suddenly realized.
"Congratulations." Gu Qingzhou road.
Land and land continue, people have come down, enough to have hundreds of people, all blocked in the dock.
"Come this way, the car is on the seawall," Gu said
In the crowd, Gu also saw Gu Shao's ex girlfriend Xu Qizhen.
Ruan family and Xu family are planning to come to Singapore very early, but they have no way.
Gu took them to a busy street, contracted two restaurants, and settled them all properly.
Sun's family, Gu Shao, Gu Ying, ye Shan and Hua Yunfang were brought back to their residences in Singapore by Gu Qingzhou.
"This is Huamin district." Seeing that they were surprised by the street, Gu explained.
The streets here are very Fujian style, almost all of them are Chinese style buildings.
As a British colony, Singapore is also known as Malacca and Penang. With the development of Singapore's oil, rubber and tin industries, it has replaced Penang as the first of the three state capitals.
Over 70% of Singapore's population is Chinese. Huamin has an authority called the Department of Huamin security, which is almost as famous as the governor's office.
The governor is British, and the escort Department of the Chinese escort department is Chinese.
Two years ago, Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingfu returned to Pingcheng before the Mid Autumn Festival in August.
At the end of that year, the war officially began. At first, it was a small-scale war. Later, it became more and more fierce, and gradually began to unify.
Because the war situation is not clear, many rich people go out and many come to Singapore. It was not long before the war began. The governor of the army suffered from an old disease, which was a very serious gout. He could hardly walk with one leg on his feet. A teacher from siqiongzhi arrived at the best hospital in Singapore, and soon became the director of the Department. He invited her to practice in Singapore, intending to focus on training her. Gu Qingzhou was pregnant and vomited in the dark. After considering all kinds of things, he sneaked back from Huainan battlefield for five days and arranged to send his family to Singapore.
