Chapter 2712 2715 [Fun and Cloud Scatter]
Jin Quan announced he had suffered a stroke, and not long after he retired to the mountains, Jin Runzhi returned home from the south.
Accompanies her boyfriend Li Haoran.
Everyone in the Jin family was pleasantly surprised when they saw this.
"Liumei, it's great that you're back~"
"Sixth sister, you are back, you miss me~"
"Runzhi, you are finally back, don't leave in the future~~"
Everyone happily took her hand and asked.
"How is Dad now? How did the Jin family become like this?" Jin Runzhi asked with concern.
Before she left, the Jin family was still very lively. There were seventy or eighty servants alone, coming and going, busy.
But now the Jin family is very deserted, many rooms are basically empty, and no one cleans the garden. Dead branches and leaves, weeds all over the place... It's a little scary to see.
"Oh, it's a long story, listen to me slowly." Wu Peifang then told the story of the Jin family's reform and layoffs after Jin Runzhi left.
"So that's the case." Jin Runzhi nodded, "Then how is Dad doing now?"
"The old man is in good health, but he lost his official position, so he is in a bad mood, and now he lives in Xiangshan Bieye." Wu Peifang explained, "Now there are only four of us and the fifth sister in this mansion, so it seems naturally deserted. But that's okay, it's clean!"
Jin Runzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
Since her father is in good health, she is not worried. As for the abolition of the Jin family's servants, she is still very supportive. Everyone has a pair of hands and is completely self-sufficient.
Like her in the south, she also does laundry, cooking, and cleaning the house. I was not used to it at first, but I got used to it later.
…
Xiang Nan, Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen entertained Li Haoran.
Knowing that Li Haoran has joined the New Party and is still studying at the Whampoa Military Academy, Jin Fengju and his three brothers all looked a little embarrassed.
Only Xiang Nan knew that Li Haoran made the right choice to study in Whampoa.
As long as he can survive the next twenty-five years, there will be a pretty good ending.
"Well, the reason why the country is in such chaos now is because of the lack of a strong government, which has led to the frequent interference of foreign powers in internal affairs, and made warlords attack each other for their own interests." Xiang Nan nodded in support, "Brother Haoran can invest in the army , dedicating himself to the army, he is really wise and brave, I admire him."
Li Haoran was also very happy to see that Xiang Nan had this insight.
"Yanxi, thank you for your support." He smiled, "Your poetry is also very popular in the south now. "Answer", "A Generation", "Believe in the Future", "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening"... are praised endlessly. Even Our classmates in the military school all like your songs."
"That's really my honor." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Yanxi, are you interested in going to the south together?" Li Haoran invited again.
Xiang Nan smiled, "Actually, I admire Mr. Sun very much, and I also have the heart to serve the country. It's a pity that I am not alone now, and I can't throw everything away and join the revolution. I can only do my part silently."
Li Haoran nodded, but he didn't force it. He knew that not everyone had the courage and dedication to sacrifice.
…
Later, Xiang Nan accompanied Jin Runzhi and Li Haoran to Xiangshan to visit their parents.
Knowing that the two had married in the south and had a private appointment for life, Jin Quan and his wife could not help but sigh.
But now that the raw rice has been cooked, it is too late for them to object.
"Okay, Runzhi, since you chose the road yourself and ground the bubbles under your feet, then you can take care of it yourself." Jin Quan nodded, "I'm old now, and my head is rigid, I can't control you anymore."
If he would have persuaded Jin Runzhi to come back before, don’t make mistakes. But now that he is no longer the prime minister, he doesn't worry about it anymore.
"Dad, don't say that, you are always my father." Jin Runzhi said quickly.
"I just want to remind you one last thing. Politics is not as simple as it seems to you." Jin Quan sighed again when she saw what she said, "Now you see all kinds of enlightenment and progress in the New Party. Because they haven't really been in power yet.
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Li Zicheng, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom... At the beginning of the rebellion, it was not supported by all people and won the support of the people, but what happened after the real power? It must be observed. "
Jin Runzhi and Li Haoran only thought that he was prejudiced against the New Party and deliberately slandered him, so they didn't listen to him.
Only Xiang Nan knows that Jin Quan is not just talking about it, and it has always been easy to fight the country but difficult to sit on the country.
…
Jin Runzhi and Li Haoran stayed in the capital for three days, and then returned to the south.
Moreover, they also rejected the 20,000 oceans that Mrs. Jin gave them, and decided to be self-reliant and support themselves with their own hands.
Seeing that they were determined not to accept it, Mrs. Jin had no choice but to let it go.
Shortly after Jin Runzhi left, Jin Minzhi received a telegram from a classmate, planning to go to Europe to get married.
When she was studying in the United States, she had already fallen in love with her classmates. After returning from studying abroad, they have not broken contact, and always convey their feelings through telegrams.
Now her classmate has gone to Europe to study and is planning to stay there, so she asks her to get married.
Jin Quan and his wife are naturally reluctant, but they also know that their children are too big for their mothers. So he had no choice but to send Jin Min on the train.
At that time, there were two routes to Europe. One was to take a steamship in Jinmen and go to Europe by water; the other was to go north to Harbin and take Siberia to Europe.
Jin Minzhi chose the second line.
"Fifth sister, have a good trip." Xiang Nan and Jin Meili were very reluctant.
Jin Minzhi also had red eye circles.
Now that we are living in troubled times, and the transportation is inconvenient, we don’t know when we are going to leave this time, and when we will see you next time. Maybe it will be the last time we meet, so it is naturally sad.
…
After Jin Minzhi left, the Jin family became even more deserted than before.
During the Spring Festival of 2005, Jin Quan, Mrs. Jin, the second concubine, and the third concubine all went home to celebrate the New Year, but they didn't make the house warm again.
Compared to last year, Jin Quan was really depressed when he was still the prime minister.
In previous years, just after the twelfth lunar month, all kinds of gift-giving and friendship had already crowded the door of the Jin family. The gifts received are enough to fill a warehouse.
Moreover, from the first day of the Lunar New Year, there has been an endless stream of people paying New Year's greetings, and it is not finished until the first month of the lunar year.
But now that Jin Quan is no longer the prime minister, there are far fewer people coming and going, and it is estimated that there is not even one of the previous ones. There are no longer so many people giving gifts in the twelfth lunar month, and there are not so many people visiting during the Chinese New Year.
The Kim family has withdrawn from the center of power and lost the light of much attention. It's only been a year, but Jin Quan has aged several years.
"Hey, it's over." Jin Quan couldn't help sighing after looking at the tablets of the ancestors after the sacrifice.
"Father, don't be sad. In this troubled time, our family can still be safe and healthy, and have a bowl of safe food to eat, which is already good." Xiang Nan persuaded.
Jin Quan nodded.
