Code Name: Flame

Chapter 6 Wang Wei
Alcohol is a good thing. In addition to anesthesia, it also has a great function that can shorten the distance between two strangers.

"My name is Chen Jia, Erdong Chen, the commendable Jia, I just came back from the United States. I have lived here for a few days, and I don't know what to call you."

Wang Wei's face was flushed, and she lost the sense of distance she had at first, so Chen Jia took the opportunity to start making friends.

"Wang Wei, the king of Sanheng, Wei of Qiangwei, a female Chinese teacher."

"Teacher? I thought you were a student."

"Where, I graduated from normal university for more than a year."

Chen Jia was a little surprised. It seemed that Wang Wei was only about 20 years old. Why did she graduate from university?

"Aren't you too young to be a teacher? My students say the same thing. It's actually because I was young when I was admitted to university and graduated early."

Junior class?Fuck you, awesome man.

"Which normal university is Mr. Wang in?"

"Peking."

"The one about the May Fourth Movement?"

"How do you know? Aren't you in America?"

"I heard from my parents. I guess they read it from the newspaper."

It almost revealed that the May [-]th Movement happened more than ten years ago, how could he, a Chinese American, know about it.

Fortunately, Wang Wei has no doubts.

"By the way, do you still remember the first time we met at the wonton shop? There are two men watching you outside the door, so be careful when you go out in the future."

Wang Wei didn't look surprised, she smiled and said, "It's okay, those two were scared away by the police later. There are many gangsters and thieves in Shanghai, so you should be careful when you go out at night."

Chen Jia smiled and said nothing, raised her glass to touch Wang Wei, and drank it all in one gulp.

Working in Zhongwei Shipping Company is very easy, so easy that I have no friends.Think about it, too, where are there so many foreign firms looking for them to deliver goods.But this position cannot be left out. If there is a contract and no one will translate, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?
Chen Jia took time to go to the bookstore and bought an English-Chinese dictionary, a Kangxi dictionary, and a set of Japanese textbooks.Since you have nothing to do, hurry up and study.Traditional characters and English have to be practiced. As for Japanese, what happened in the next few years will never be forgotten by a Chinese. If you know a little bit, it will be useful.

Chen Heng likes this young man very much, he treats people with politeness, not to mention, he is also eager to learn.Everyone takes a nap at noon and dinner, but he insists on studying.

Watching him practice writing, and sometimes writing typos, it shows that his Chinese background is indeed not very good.It is commendable to learn when you are not good.Not only learning Chinese, but also learning Japanese by himself, tsk tsk tsk, this person has a future.

Chen Heng would never have thought that this little brother was still learning English.

Every day when I go home, Chen Jia is always more than half an hour early.So he cooked breakfast early, for the two of them.After drinking that day, the relationship between the two became better and better, and Chen Jia's flattery was also in place. Every day, dinner was cooked and we waited for Wang Wei to come back to eat together.

In Shanghai, accommodation is always crowded, so the relationship between neighbors is sometimes better than relatives.

After a long time, the neighbors became familiar with each other.The briquette stove does not need to be smoky every day, just pick one from the neighbor's house.

Chen Jia is not a stingy person either, and often cooks a few more dishes for the neighbors to try.As they came and went, the number of visits between neighbors also increased.

The children of Liu's family on the third floor next door, after eating Chen Jia's dish once, wanted to eat it for the second time.Once drooling while holding the gate of the courtyard, Chen Jia invited him to eat together when he saw this.They come and go again and again, and several children from the next door come to eat every night.

Neighbors also felt embarrassed when they saw this, and Chen Jia refused to offer money, so they often brought some things for food.

The eldest brother of the Liu family is the captain of another steamship company. He travels for a few days and goes home to stay for two days.This man is good at drinking, and Chen Jia also has a large capacity for drinking, so the two soon became close friends. If the two women hadn't disagreed, they would have been able to drink until midnight.

The prices at this time are actually pretty good, especially the food is still very cheap, so they didn't add much burden to Chen Jia's meals.

It was Wang Wei who enjoyed the blessing. Ever since the two of them ate together, she had never touched the pot, and Chen Jia even washed the dishes.According to Chen Jia, Wang Wei's pink hands are only suitable for spanking students, not for washing dishes.

On rest days, Chen Jia and Wang Wei became the kings of the kids. A group of children followed them and often went to the nearby park to play.Fly a kite, play football, or spread out a cloth on the lawn with some snacks for a picnic.

Sometimes Wang Wei will go home late, and the time is fixed, two days on Tuesday and Friday.Chen Jia was afraid that she would be in danger, so she often waited for her on the road she must pass.

In fact, the security of the French Concession at this time was not bad, especially in the downtown area, except for thieves, there were very few other cases.What is more chaotic is Sima Road, where the Qinghong gang is entrenched, casinos, dance halls are densely populated, fish and dragons are mixed, and incidents of armed fights often occur.

On this day, after Chen Jia handed over the translated documents to Chen Heng, he read newspapers in his office.There was an admissions ad on the front page of the newspaper.

Enrollment at the Central Army Military Academy has gone through two rounds of screening, cultural examinations and interviews. Those who pass the exam will be admitted in November, and a cultural examination will be required. The content of the examination covers Chinese and foreign history, Chinese, party principles, geography, mathematics, physics and chemistry.Only those who pass the program will be officially enrolled. The school will officially start in March and graduate after three years.

Chen Jia didn't care either. After reading the newspaper for a while, she suddenly realized, isn't this the Whampoa Military Academy?
Since the establishment of the capital in Nanjing, the Whampoa Military Academy has also moved to Nanjing, and the name of the school has been changed to the Central Army Officer Academy.

By the way, isn't Wang Wei also going to be admitted to this school?
Huh?Chen Jia's heart moved, and the man's deep voice sounded that night, "The Central Army Military Academy recruits students in November, you go to sign up for the exam and try to get in."

Chen Jia became suspicious, who is that man?Why did Wang Wei take the military academy exam?
Who are the two men in black who watched them outside the door?Are they really two thieves as Wang Wei said?

The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong, the more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel.Does Wang Wei have other identities?Communist Party?People from the Guangdong government?Northwest?Northeast?National government?

People, once you have doubts in your heart, the doubts will become more and more serious, and the usual two nights will also become doubts.

In the next few days, Chen Jia carefully observed Wang Wei's every move, but found no doubts, she was a very normal girl.

Don't think about things you can't figure out.

But when I couldn't sleep at night, the recruitment advertisement kept reappearing in my mind.

The next battle is going to happen. When did the battle of Songhu come? 35 years or 37 years?No matter what year, Shanghai will become a battlefield.The Anti-Japanese War also broke out, followed by the Nanjing Massacre, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Hangzhou were full of wars.

What should I do?Hiding in the French Concession and surviving until the liberation of Shanghai in 49?Or join the army?
Joining the Communist Party is a must. No matter what you do, you are considered a member of the New China. You cannot join the Kuomintang and end up on the isolated island of Taiwan.

Where can I find the Communist Party?Can't you just pull one on the street and ask?The site of a large conference is nearby, so what's the use?
The days passed day by day, and Chen Jia, who had struggled for more than ten days, finally made up his mind to enroll in the military academy.No matter what, we must participate in the next war of resistance, otherwise I am really sorry for him to live again.

If you die, you may die, maybe you can travel through time again.

On the third day after Chen Jia went to work, the Zhongwei Shipping Company settled the issue of Chen Jia's household registration, so he is now a proper Shanghai citizen of the Republic of China, and his identity is no longer a problem.

There are two ways to register, one is to write a letter, and the other is to register at the registration office.Shanghai is a metropolis with many educated young people, so there are registration offices.

The registration office was in an alley, and when Chen Jia rushed over, there were already more than 100 people queuing up.People who looked like students were all dressed up, only a few in coats or suits.

Chen Jia was one of the few people in suits, and his exquisite attire attracted the attention of many people. There were also a few female students who whispered, looked at him a few times, and laughed for a while while talking, which made Chen Jia baffling.

After queuing for about 10 minutes, a familiar figure came out from the registration office, which turned out to be Wang Wei.

Wang Wei didn't wear the moon white cheongsam she had always liked, but changed into a more solemn shirt and trousers. The temperament of the whole person changed, making her look cleaner and neater.

Wang Wei also saw Chen Jia in the team, her eyes were full of surprise, "Why are you here?"

Seeing Wang Wei talking to him, many people looked over, making Chen Jia very uncomfortable, "Let's talk later. Why don't you sit in the cafe opposite and wait for me? I'll go home together when I'm done? "

It was a normal sentence, but Wang Wei's face turned crimson, she nodded in panic, and left in a hurry.

Chen Jia looked at the surprised and curious eyes of the people around her, and realized that she had said the wrong thing.
