After the Republic of China

Chapter 985 Giving Gifts
It's a hot day, and when the wind blows suddenly, people feel immediately cooled down.

Xiaodong's heat source was a little far away, so the wind from the fan reached him instantly.

Shao Yunshi felt refreshed after feeling the breeze, and then she continued, "Go to Ximei's place later and ask her to accompany you to deliver some things to Dahuang's family. We are indebted to her today, otherwise we would have a lot of trouble."

Dahuang's family and Jinrong's family are not too far away, and the two families are familiar with each other.

Xiaodong frowned and said, "Isn't this bad?"

Shao Yunshi pushed her, "Why is it not good? Da Huang and we are from the same hometown. It's just right to do this favor at his home."

Xiaodong thought about it and said, "Okay, then I'll go find Ximei."

Shao Yunshi suggested: "You can bring some Qingdao specialties, and some fabrics, which are the most practical."

Xiaodong asked, "Do you want to give me some money?"

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "It's not appropriate. We're not going to ask Da Huang to do anything for us. Giving money would be inappropriate."

"Then should we bring some rouge and powder from the shop?" Xiaodong suggested.

This is good. Shao Yunshi nodded, "Well, our shop is now quite famous. Bring it with you to show that we are sincere."

Xiaodong nodded and agreed, "Then I'll go pack the gifts now, and I won't report back later. I'll go straight to Ximei's place."

Shao Yunshi was indeed very tired and needed to take a break, so she said, "Well, you go directly, I'll take a nap."

Xiaodong worriedly asked, "It's facing the wind here, and you squint. What should I do?"

"Don't bother me, I just closed my eyes and didn't really sleep." Shao Yunshi waved her hand weakly.

Seeing that she was really tired, Xiaodong opened his mouth, but said nothing and left.

As soon as she left, Shao Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes. She needed to take a break.

Unfortunately, Shao Yunshi was destined not to have any rest that day, and it was soon time for dinner.

Not to mention how busy the Shao family or Shao Yunshi were.

That evening, when Dahuang returned home, he was shocked to see the gifts on the square table in the living room.

"What's the matter? You're too good at buying things." Da Huang asked his wife who was sitting on the sofa.

Mrs. Huang was a very honest person. She glared at her husband and said nothing.

Seeing that his wife didn't react, Da Huang looked over carefully, "Look, it's a roll of silk cloth, rouge and powder, and it's in a high-end gift box. What is this? Sea cucumbers and abalone, oh, and scallops..."

As Dahuang was talking, he couldn't click anymore.

Huang's wife was annoyed by him and spat, "Did you give me so much money?"

Da Huang exclaimed, "Didn't you buy it?"

Mrs. Huang snorted coldly, "Tell me, who did you help today?"

When Da Huang heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "No wonder there are so many gifts. It turns out they are sent by the rich lady."

His words surprised Huang Saozi, "Ximei didn't say anything about Miss Rich Man, but only said thank you for your help today? I thought you promoted Jin Rong."

Mrs. Huang still has some status in the family. She doesn't like her husband to accept gifts to do things for her. It's not that she is very honest, but she is afraid that her husband will get into trouble.

Da Huang said "Oh" and changed the subject, "You're overthinking it. It's Big Brother's job to promote Jin Rong. Besides, Jin Rong and we came from Yangzhou together. There's no need to be polite when helping each other."

Mrs. Huang was not interested in what was happening outside. As long as it did not involve her family, she would not say much.

"If that's the case, then aren't these gifts a bit too excessive?" Mrs. Huang frowned.

Dahuang was very satisfied with his wife's generosity.

Looking at the gifts on the table again, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, these are local specialties, I think they were sent by Jin Rong's relatives." Mrs. Huang asked hurriedly, "Could it be that someone gave it to him?"

Da Huang said, "I am just helping his relatives. Just accept it. It's nothing."

Seeing that he said it lightly, Mrs. Huang glared and said, "This is nothing. These are worth a lot of money. Jin Rong's relatives are really rich."

Dahuang smiled and said nothing.

"Hey, this is rouge and powder from the Qiaozhitou Flower House. It's really valuable. Oh, no, ordinary people can't buy it." Mrs. Huang didn't use these much herself, but many of the ladies around her talked about it.

Da Huang knew who owned the Qiaozhitou Flower House, but he didn't know the business was so good.

"Can't buy it? Is it because there are too many customers or too little stock?" Da Huang asked puzzledly.

Mrs. Huang shook her head. "I'm not sure either. The sister-in-law next door said that if you want to buy something from her, it's best to make a reservation."

Like this? Apparently, there are too many customers and too little supply.

Da Huang didn't say anything else, pointing at the things and said, "You used to be reluctant to buy these, but now you have them, use them."

Mrs. Huang hesitated and said, "These are very valuable. If you sell them, you can make a lot of money."

Da Huang said with a smile: "Our family is not poor, why are you so frugal? Use it. If you want to use it again in the future, I will buy it for you."

Shanghai is hot and humid in summer.

Dahuang's words were as warm as a cool breeze, making people feel comfortable.

Huang's wife felt very happy when she heard her husband say that. The dim light reflected her smiling face, making the hall brighter.

However, even though she was happy, Huang Saozi still pouted and said, "I can't bear to use it, so I'll keep it for now."

Da Huang didn't care about these women's affairs, so he stopped trying to persuade her.

On the second day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, sweeping away the gloom of yesterday.

As soon as he got to work, Da Huang rushed to Yu Qian's office.

Seeing his anxious look, Yu Qian looked at him seriously, "But is there any progress in the case?"

Da Huang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There is no progress at all. Following those people, even if there was progress, it would be ruined."

Yu Qian knew the behavior of the people in the Operations Department and sighed, "It's really sad that the Party-State has these parasites."

Da Huang didn't want his elder brother to get caught up in the bitterness of these fights again, so he quickly changed the subject, "Brother, do you know who I met yesterday?"

"Who did you meet? Is it related to the mission?" Yu Qian was a serious and responsible person, so this was all he could think of.

Da Huang said speechlessly: "Brother, why don't you think about it more."

Yu Qian was not interested in gossiping. "Okay, let's go and do something. We have to deal with those bastards this time."

Yesterday, Da Huang went out to fight because he received a tip-off about Japanese spy activities.

When it comes to catching the communists and the Communist Party, Yu Qian might be able to take his time, but when it comes to dealing with the Japanese spies, he must do his best.

Da Huang also had a strong sense of justice, and nodded, "I'm always keeping an eye on it, don't worry, big brother."

After saying that, he looked at his elder brother who was about to do something and hesitated.

His behavior actually aroused Yu Qian's curiosity. "What on earth do you want to say? If you can, tell me. If you can't, get out of here right now."

Da Huang chuckled twice and dared not act weird anymore. He then whispered about how he helped the Shao family yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qian put down the document in his hand and frowned, "You didn't leave Miss Shao's information, did you?"
