Cream cakes are quite rare in this day and age, and only big cities like Matsushita sell them.
"Is there any happy event today? How can you buy cakes to celebrate?"
Cheng Yanhe's birthday is in November, and her birthday is also earlier. The closest festival is Qixi Festival, but that is next month.
White cream and red cherries, a whole cake Cheng Yanhe cut a small piece for Song Jingqiu, he didn't eat it himself, just watching her eat was very happy.
"It's nothing special. I bought it when I saw it when I passed by. I know you like sweets."
She said that delicious food can make people feel happy, and when you are unhappy, you can eat something you like and you will become happy.
This time the mission was dangerous, Cheng Yanhe didn't know if he could escape unscathed, he just hoped that if something unexpected happened to her, what she recalled would be sweetness instead of bitterness.
He watched her quietly, with a faint smile on his lips, Song Jingqi was embarrassed by his look, and said, "Why do you keep staring at me, do you have something to say to me?"
A few days ago, he mentioned the matter of meeting both parents, thinking it was related to this matter, but he heard him say, "I have work and need to go out for a few days, I'm afraid I won't see you for a while, the situation is turbulent recently, please pay attention on the way to and from get off work Safe, I'll call you when I have time."
Song Jingqi frowned and asked, "Where are you going? There are wars everywhere now."
He is a government official, so it is reasonable to say that he is safe, but Song Jingqi did not forget the assassination that happened to him two months ago. Although she knew that his life as the master of luck would not be in danger, even if she was injured, it would make her feel distressed.
There are still eleven years to go before the final victory. Song Jingqi really hopes that the time will pass quickly and this nightmare life will end quickly.
After that day, Song Jingqi did not see Cheng Yanhe for several days, nor did she receive a call.
She works in a newspaper office, which is the place where the news is the most well-informed. There are fierce battles where there is a loss. Even if there is news of victory, it is won in an extremely difficult environment, but there is always a cloud of sadness on the face of anyone with patriotism.
On the fifth day, Song Jingqi did not wait for the news of Cheng Yanhe, but received a note from the shopkeeper after get off work, asking her to go to Zhaixing Teahouse. What a sixth sense.
For the sake of safety, she spared some way on purpose. When she arrived at the teahouse, the sky was dim, and the orange lights in the teahouse added a lot of distant atmosphere to those old tables, chairs and benches.
"Sir, did you call me here today because you have a task for me?"
Otherwise, in this special period, the shopkeeper would not easily let people take risks to find her.
The shopkeeper looked slightly troubled, and after pondering for a while, he sighed and said, "It's not because of this, but about Yan He."
The word "Yanhe" made Song Jingqi startled, and then she understood that Cheng Yanhe was also a member of the organization. She should have thought of this long ago. As the "Master of Luck" selected by the system, his people The setting must conform to the main theme to conform to the positive theme. The senior official of the national government is just a disguise for him, and his purpose is to use this identity to work for the organization.
Similarly, Cheng Yanhe would not sacrifice even if he was in danger, otherwise there would be no need for system tasks to exist.
After thinking this through, Song Jingqiu was no longer so flustered, but her pale face and slightly trembling eyelashes could still reveal the worry in her heart.
"Sir, is the person I think you mentioned? So he is also in the organization. Does it mean that something happened to him?"
After asking a series of questions, the shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, I just found out about you a while ago, and I should be happy for you. It is really a happy fate, but Yan He left Songshi after receiving an urgent mission. , the task was arduous, and there were many setbacks in the middle. It took him three days to find out the truth of the matter. Unfortunately, he was spotted by the enemy on the way to retreat, and the enemy opened fire. Yan He did not escape and was shot. Not coming."
The shopkeeper said it very tactfully, Song Jingqi knew it was more than that.
Cheng Yanhe is a government official, and the national government will never sit idly by when an official is suddenly injured and missing. Once an investigation is launched, his identity as a secret agent will not be concealed, which means that until the final victory, he will not be able to "Cheng Yan" And" identity back to Songshi.
This sudden change left Song Jingqi at a loss for what to say. She thought she would be able to get married soon after meeting both parents. Most of her tasks were completed, but she didn't expect that there would be complications.
Her silence was just in line with the emotions she should have, and the shopkeeper felt uncomfortable. He had also experienced such a separation. He left his hometown for the revolution. No matter how much you think about the revolutionary cause, there is nothing you can do about it.
He said, "The news hasn't spread yet. You are safe for the time being, but your relationship with Yan He is here. Someone will come to check you soon. That's why I asked you to come here."
Now Song Jingqi has two paths, one is to draw a clear line with Cheng Yanhe, insisting that he does not know Cheng Yanhe's true identity and whereabouts, and see each other indefinitely; the other is to leave Songshi, and the organization will escort her out to meet with Cheng Yanhe. Cheng Yan and reunion, but this means that she has to leave her hometown and change her appearance.
The shopkeeper knows that no matter which path is for Song Jingqi, it is painful to be separated from her lover or from her relatives, but the time he can give Song Jingqi is limited, and he must make a decision before the news reaches Songshi, otherwise it will not be possible at all. Too late to make follow-up arrangements.
Song Jingqi chose the first path without hesitation, and she said to the shopkeeper very firmly, "I'm going to find Yan He, please send me away."
The shopkeeper didn't expect her to make a decision so quickly, and thought she would have to think about it all night.
"It's decided? Are you really willing to leave your hometown? What I want to tell you is that once you leave for three to five years, you won't be able to come back. Life over there is also very difficult. You have to be prepared for hardship."
Song Jingqi replied with a light smile, "Sir, when I took the oath to join the party, I said that I would sacrifice everything for the revolution, even if I lost my life, why should I be afraid if it's just a small sacrifice?"
As for the family, the original owner’s parents had passed away a long time ago, and her uncle and aunt loved her very much. After she left, she had three cousins to take care of her. Song Jinghau had nothing to worry about. After all, Song City was not lost until the end, and they lived in a rented place. .
The shopkeeper was very moved when he heard her "rhetoric words", and immediately said that he would arrange someone to take her away immediately, "Go back tonight and prepare your luggage, and meet at the intersection at six o'clock in the morning. You must not delay the opportunity."
The intersection he was talking about was an intersection near Meng’s house, where Song Jingqi used to take the tram, and getting on the train from there was not easy to attract people’s attention.
After the shopkeeper explained some things, Song Jingqi left quickly, and she had to hurry up and go back to pack her luggage.
It is rare for the Meng family to gather everyone for dinner today. Usually, either you are busy or he is busy. It is rare for the whole family to sit down to eat alone, so Auntie is very happy, with a smile on her face all the time.
"The wedding in Huai'an has only been a few months away, and the decoration of the house over there is similar. After a while, when Min Zhi is free, you can go pick out the furniture you like together."
Gu Yueqin is a wealthy person. Although her daughter-in-law said that she was going to move out, she felt very uncomfortable, but she still spent money to buy the house, and she also paid for the decoration and furniture. No matter what, it was their Meng family who married her. Daughter-in-law, these are what the Meng family should prepare, so as not to be talked about by outsiders in order to save some money.
For her, things that can be solved with money do not need to damage her reputation. For a businessman, reputation is more important than money.
Meng Huai'an complied with his mother's words. He himself is still looking forward to marriage, and he is also very satisfied with his fiancée Zheng Minzhi. Although his mother is dissatisfied because of the move out, he knows that his fiancée's intention is not to be unfilial to her mother, but just thinking about it. In the small days that belonged to the two of them, there were many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and she was a little worried that if they didn't get along well, the relationship would become stiff.
At the dinner table, apart from Meng Huai’an’s affairs, my uncle and aunt also mentioned the company’s business, second cousin Meng Huairen’s blind date, etc. After dinner, my aunt also asked Song Jinghag to go shopping on weekends, saying that she would buy some new clothes for her, and save them for changing seasons .
After returning to the house, looking at the bedroom where she lived for only a few months, her aunt carefully dressed her up, and even asked her cousin to let her live in the Chaoyang room, feeling sore and astringent in her heart.
Regarding her upcoming departure, she hesitated whether to say it in advance or play it later, but the atmosphere during the meal was so good that Song Jingqi didn't have the heart to spoil the atmosphere.
The shopkeeper arranged for someone to send her off, so in order to avoid trouble, he couldn't bring a lot of salutes. Looking at the clothes in the closet, they were all bought by her aunt after she came.
Song Jingqi chose for a long time, and in the end she only brought casual clothes such as shirts and suits, and two favorite cheongsams, and did not bring anything else, except for personal items such as watches and photos.
After packing up her luggage, Song Jingqi took out a pen and paper to write a letter, she said repeatedly that she had something to leave, she didn't need to look for it, and she would come back after the matter was over, and didn't mention anything else.
She knew that her uncle and aunt would be very worried if she said that, but both she and Cheng Yanhe have special identities, and talking too much will bring unnecessary trouble to the family, and it is safe for the family to know nothing of.
That night Song Jinghagi didn't sleep at ease. Although she is a time traveler and knows the direction of history, she is now a player in the game, and all her feelings are real, and she also has worries and fears.
The sky was shining brightly in a daze, the hour hand on the alarm clock pointed to five, Song Jingqi couldn’t sleep, so she got up, and after getting dressed, she looked at the luggage again, and after confirming that it was correct, she left quietly with the luggage, and the helper at home would get up later It's time to cook.
The shopkeeper told her that the time was six o'clock, but when she arrived at the intersection, there was already a car waiting, and the person sitting in the cab was the man she had seen in the teahouse.
When the other party saw her, he opened the car door to meet her, and took the suitcase in her hand.
"Miss Song, you arrived really early, so let's go straight away. I bought the 7:20 train."
Counting the delay, the train should be able to start around 8 o'clock, and it will be safer if you leave earlier.
"Okay, let's go then."
Song Jingqi turned around before getting in the car and glanced at the street corner in the early morning, as if she saw the scene of shopping with her aunt, but it is a pity that such a day may have to wait until ten years later.
The car drove away slowly, and at the same time, bursts of sharp phone ringing rang in the homes of the leaders of the Nationalist Government stationed in Song City, sending back the news of Cheng Yan and the "betrayal".
