Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

"Find someone named Li Zhong and give her this letter."

Then he stuffed another letter into her hand and said, "Don't mix up the two letters."

"Did you remember? Repeat what I just said."

Ai Shutong said worriedly.

Xia Yu's mind was blank now. He mumbled a few words and couldn't continue.

Ai Shutong sighed and repeated a few important points to her.

When teaching for the fourth time, Ai Shutong angrily slapped Xia Yu on the back.

"Cheer up! If you continue to be so careless, you might as well not leave and stay here and wait to die!" she threatened.

Xia Yu was frightened and said, "Miss, I was wrong. Please say it again and I will definitely remember it."

Ai Shutong could only repeat herself again.

The effect was very good this time, and Xia Yu memorized it completely.

Ai Shutong glared at her unhappily, "I think you deserve a beating!"

"Go back and recite it in your mind dozens of times."

"Here, this note is for you. It tells you where you should go after you arrive in Shanghai."

"If you forget, find someone wearing glasses and ask respectfully, did you hear it clearly?"

Xia Yu nodded hurriedly, "Understood."

After Ai Shutong returned to Chunyi Pavilion, she was still worried.

But there was no other way. Communication was too difficult in that era, so she had to rely on herself on the road.

I was lost in thought.

"Knock, knock, knock" The open door was knocked several times.

Ai Shutong suddenly startled and shivered.

When Meng Bailu saw this, she quickly asked, "Are you okay? Shutong!"

"Did I scare you?"

Ai Shutong waved her hands. "It's nothing. I was just too absorbed in reading. Come in!"

Meng Bailu walked in with a smile, followed by Shuangxi who had returned and automatically stood at the door as a door god.

"I heard from Shuangxi that you are going to attend a friend's birthday party?"

Ai Shutong looked at the small square box in Meng Bailu's hand and nodded, "Yes."

The little box was very delicate, not only framed with velvet but also inlaid with pink glass.

Oh! She forgot that it is not called glass now, but colored glaze, which is still quite valuable in this era.

Meng Bailu opened the box as she expected, "How about giving this brooch to your friend as a birthday gift?"

Ai Shutong took a closer look and found it so beautiful that she couldn't help but reach out and pick it up. "Is this made of green colored glaze?"

Meng Bailu's eyes flashed with disdain, and she smiled gently, "Shutong's friends are all from well-known backgrounds, how can Liuli be worthy of them? This is made of jade."

Ai Shutong asked in surprise, "So clean? You can't tell it's naturally formed at all."

Meng Bailu, "Only in this way can you be worthy of the daughter of the Director of the Department of Health!"

Ai Shutong cursed in her heart, "You little thief! It turned out that you peeked at my invitation!"

After greeting her ancestors in her heart, Ai Shutong remained expressionless and said, "Thank you, Bai Lu."

Meng Bailu, "You're welcome."

"By the way, your father was afraid that you would be disrespectful on your first visit, so he asked me to go with you."

"I said it's not appropriate for me to go to your young girls' party."

"But your father insisted that I was not too old and there was nothing inappropriate about it."

"Shutong, look..."

After saying this, he showed an embarrassment.

Ai Shutong really admires her!

I sighed in my heart, this woman is actually better at acting than me!

If I were born in the 21st century, I wouldn't have to serve that old man Jin Hengsu. I could become an enviable movie queen on my own!

"Anyway, my words don't count. If you want to go, just go!"

Ai Shutong sighed.

Meng Bailu sighed with her, "Who said it wasn't true?! It's so hard for us women!"

Ai Shutong agreed with her words. In this age dominated by patriarchy and husband power, it is indeed not easy for women to live.

The next day, Bei Manzhongzhai was full.

After Ai Shutong finished her Chinese class and was about to go to the bathroom, Zheng Qiuying called her, "Miss Ai, my cousin is looking for you."

Ai Shutong: "Your cousin?"

Zheng Qiuying: "Yeah? My cousin Zheng Ruyue, aren't you friends?"

Ai Shutong reacted immediately, "Oh! Yes."

The two of them left the classroom through the back door and saw Zheng Ruyue standing at the window looking out.

Zheng Qiuying took two quick steps playfully and slapped her on the right shoulder.

Zheng Ruyue turned her head to the right and then hid to the left.

Ai Shutong watched the two of them playing with envy, and it could be seen that they had a very good relationship.

"Naughty!" Zheng Ruyue pointed at her with her finger.

She was not afraid either, and smiled as she half pressed on Zheng Ruyue.

"Miss Ai, did you receive my birthday invitation?"

Ai Shutong nodded, "Got it, thank you, I will go."

Zheng Ruyue nodded. "Mary invited Zhao Li, a female singer from Shanghai EMI Records, for me. We will be having fun quite late. You can bring some clothes with you and sleep at my house that day."

Ai Shutong said embarrassedly: "I have no choice at home. The master asked me to bring his second wife with me. I don't know if it is convenient..."

The voices behind her became smaller and smaller, and before she finished speaking, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

A burst of obscene "hehehe" laughter came into her ears, and Ai Shutong raised her head in confusion.

Zheng Ruyue slapped the back of Zheng Qiuying's hand, "Stop doing bad things! If uncle finds out, I'll punish you again."

Zheng Qiuying looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, "It's funny in the first place! Miss Ai went out to play and brought her stepmother with her. Isn't that funny?"

When Zheng Ruyue saw that Ai Shutong not only did not refute but even nodded in agreement, she suddenly felt that this was not a person who could be a worry-free person!

Zheng Ruyue said seriously: "It's okay, if she wants to follow, then let her follow!"

Zheng Qiuying agreed, "Yes! Then let her see how powerful we are!"

Zheng Ruyue glared at her angrily, "What do you look like? You are a lady!"

Zheng Qiuying grumbled in resistance, "I don't want to be a lady, whoever wants to be one can be one."

Zheng Ruyue shook her head helplessly, but the doting look in her eyes could not be faked.

September 28th, early morning.

Cai Lian carried the bags in both hands and followed Ai Shutong into the car.

Jin Hengshu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, told the driver, "Let's go, take the young lady to Beiman Girls' High School first."

Turning back to Ai Shutong, he instructed, "After school this afternoon, change your clothes in the dormitory. I'll ask the driver to pick you up at the door, and you and Bai Lu will go directly to the Zheng residence."

Ever since being accused by little cutie Henry, Jin Hengsu has never said the words "call mom" again!

Ai Shutong nodded, and when she found that Jin Hengsu didn't see it, she said "hmm" again.

"I promised Miss Mary and Miss Zheng that we would play all night tonight."

Jin Hengshu not only did not object, but also agreed, "Young people like to play and have fun. The director's family will not be foolish enough to provoke them. I feel relieved."
