Double Agent Saga

Zuo Shaoqing looked at the old man calmly, and shook his head, "Old man, I'll pick it up in three hours. Can you finish it?" When she said this, she glanced around casually, as if to say, you If not, I'll find another stall.She glanced at the old man peacefully, then reached for the handkerchief on the small table.

One of the old man's claw-like fingers pressed down on the handkerchief.There was actually a pleading hidden in his old eyes, "Ma'am, then... then three hours, okay."

Zuo Shaoqing smiled gently, but his eyes were firm, "Mr., if you don't like it, if you can't pay the work then, I won't pay." After finishing speaking, she stood up gently and left in a loud voice.

The next thing Zuo Shaoqing has to do is to go to the bank to withdraw her little savings.She only had a few dollars in her pocket, not enough to pay the old man's wages.She has to withdraw that little deposit today.

She took a few bus stops to find the bank where she had deposited her money.What used to look like a grand branch is now just a savings bank.Three or four staff members were busy at the counter.

The whole withdrawal process is very simple.Zuo Shaoqing's passbook is long gone.If there is any, it is also in Taipei.But her good brain remembers the ten-digit account number on the passbook.

Using a bald dip pen, she wrote down her name and the ten-digit account number on the withdrawal slip.Then tell the clerk at the counter that her passbook is missing.

The staff at the counter found her account, and then patiently told her the ratio of old currency to new currency and the calculation method of deposit interest.It roughly means that on March [-], [-], the Central People's Bank issued the second set of RMB, and the exchange ratio with the old currency was [-]:[-].

The bank clerk explained: "Comrade, because your account has not been touched since it was liberated, so, according to the regulations of the higher authorities, we can only calculate it for you based on current interest." [

Zuo Shaoqing smiled gently, "Comrade," this was the first time she uttered these two words, "I understand, please follow the regulations of your superiors, I want to take them all out."

Her principal and interest totaled 130 yuan, [-] cents and [-] cents.Among them were thirteen bills with a denomination of ten yuan, which made Zuo Shaoqing very satisfied.She pocketed the money carefully and waved goodbye to the bank clerk with a smile.

She looked at her watch, and three hours later, she appeared in front of the old man who carved letters in the Confucius Temple.

The old man looked at her silently.Noisily put a small bench in front of her.After she sat down, she handed the white silk handkerchief to Zuo Shaoqing.Still not a word was said.

Zuo Shaoqing unfolded the handkerchief, and beside the original seal, there was a new bright red seal.Zuo Shaoqing lowered his head and carefully compared the two seals.She was finally convinced that the two seals were really the same.When she looked up and smiled at the old man, it was obvious that he was relieved.

The smile on Zuo Shaoqing's face brought a little smile to the old man's wrinkled face.He took out a small brocade box from the box, handed it to Zuo Shaoqing, and motioned her to open it.

Zuo Shaoqing opened the brocade box and looked at it, and couldn't help but admire deeply in his heart.She actually overlooked one thing.If the material of the seal is not good, the shape is not exquisite, or if there are obvious traces of modification, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the bank staff.Also, a new seal is more likely to be suspicious.

However, this newly engraved seal exceeded Zuo Shaoqing's expectation.

This is a Hetian jade seed material.The incision on the seal surface is not only extremely ingenious, but also exactly consistent with the shape of the original seal.She could see that the seal had been worn out, and even the grooves on the seal surface were filled with old crimson ink.This seal looks like it has been used for many years.

Zuo Shaoqing was really satisfied.When she took money out of her pocket, she asked casually, "Mr., how much money do you earn in a day?"

The old man looked serious, looked into the distance and curled his lips, said: "Estimated, two yuan a day. Your wife is my big customer." He was silent for a while, and then said: "At home Seven people, young and old, all point to this to eat."

Zuo Shaoqing had already taken out the money at this time.She looked up at the old man's wrinkled face and his claw-like hands.She said softly: "Old man, the salary is 15 yuan, how do you calculate the cost?"

The old man nodded to her, "Ma'am, it's all in, it's all in."

Zuo Shaoqing said gently: "Mr., you have done a good job on this job, and I am very satisfied. So, I would like to add some more for you. Please tell me the number."

The old man's eyes were fixed on Zuo Shaoqing's smiling face motionlessly, as if he still had some disbelief.He hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out two fingers like eagle claws tremblingly.What he meant was obvious, that he hoped that Zuo Shaoqing could give him another two dollars. [

Zuo Shaoqing thought for a while, but in addition to the 15 yuan, he added another big ticket, and put it into the old man's hand together, "Mr., I hope your business will do better in the future."

Zuo Shaoqing waved to the old man with trembling hands, got up and left with the exquisite brocade box.

When Zuo Shaoqing was walking on the road, he felt very comfortable.This seal should be a good omen, perhaps bringing good luck to her future actions.She also hoped that the old gentleman was happy, maybe he could drink a small glass of wine tonight, and drink it with his eagle-talon fingers.

The last thing Zuo Shaoqing did today was to find Chen Sanhu.She felt that with Hu Guanglin, Liu Qiuyue, and Chen Sanhu, who was like a rascal, her helpers should be enough.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and it was time for people to get off work.Standing outside the pier, Zuo Shaoqing saw a group of workers walking out of the gate of the pier, yelling at each other and walking away in all directions.

This is actually the freight yard of the wharf, full of gray bricks, tall stone piles, and thick wood.The road is full of dust, and every time a vehicle passes by, it will raise dust all over the sky.

Finally, she saw Chen Sanhu and several workers with open arms coming out of the pier.They chattered and laughed, and walked over shaking their arms.

At the intersection ahead, Chen Sanhu parted ways with the workers and walked towards Zuo Shaoqing alone.

When he walked a few steps and saw Zuo Shaoqing standing by the wall, he was so frightened that he slowed down like a little girl who saw a robber.He opened his eyes wide in the dimness, looking very, very surprised.He looked to the left, then to the right, stretched out his hand and slapped himself, and howled, "Master! It must be the master!"

He rushed forward a few steps, fell to the ground like a frightened girl, and suddenly burst into tears.He cried and said, "Master, you are finally back! Master, you still remember me! You came to find me!"

He burst into tears, and slapped puffs of dust on the ground with his hands, covering his face soaked with tears.Crying like that, he stretched out his hands to Zuo Shaoqing.

Zuo Shaoqing walked up to him, trying to pull him up, "Sanhu, Sanhu, get up, get up." But he couldn't pull him up no matter what.She hugged his big head and shed tears.

Chen Sanhu hugged her legs, then hugged her waist, and buried his face full of tears in her arms, "Master, take me away, take me away, don't leave me behind. I beg you You are gone, master."

It took a full 10 minutes before the howling Chen Sanhu gradually calmed down.He got up from the ground, held Zuo Shaoqing's hand with his big dirty hands, and kissed it vigorously, as if a lost child saw his mother.

When it was completely dark, Zuo Shaoqing took him to a tavern.She ordered two cold dishes and a bottle of white wine.She filled two large bowls with wine.She said: "Three tigers, come, have a drink."

At this time, Chen Sanhu was already dancing with excitement, his face was flushed, he didn't know how to sit, his rough face was full of joy.He picked up the bowl with both hands, touched Zuo Shaoqing, and took a deep gulp.

After drinking this wine, he became a little excited again, grinning and said: "Master, I'm just stupid, I also remember that when you were in Nanchang, the day you were dragged away by that king, I followed you!" Like a grandson who lost his mother, he was crying. I was crying, crying, I will never see my master again. I am stupid, stupid. We went to the airport in Nanchang to chase you and look for you. I cried, but we just didn’t find you I'm following you!"

Zuo Shaoqing took his hand, shook it, and said, "I know. Let's have another sip."

He drank the wine and looked at Zuo Shaoqing with a silly smile on his face.The person who asked was very clear, "Master, when did you come back?"

Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "It's been a few days."

Chen Sanhu stretched his neck forward, and said mysteriously: "So, you are, what's the matter?"

Zuo Shaoqing nodded again, "Yes."

Chen Sanhu raised his face and took another big gulp, and said angrily, "Okay, master, tell me, for the country or for the Communist Party?"

Zuo Shaoqing looked at him with a smile, and said softly, "For the Communist Party."

Chen Sanhu slapped the table, "Okay, for the common good! I am willing to do it for the common!"

Zuo Shaoqing smiled and said, "How is it, are you okay?"

Chen Sanhu shook his big head, "Problem? What is a problem! Master, I am stupid, even if I am stupid, you also remember my words. You hold my head of Chen Sanhu in your hand, someday you want to hear If I don’t give you a crisp sound, I will be in the crotch... in the crotch..." He opened his mouth wide and smirked, "Master, I said foul language."

Zuo Shaoqing nodded to him with a smile, "Three Tigers, I understand. I also remembered it in my heart."

Chen Sanhu giggled foolishly, "Master, just remember it!"

Afterwards, Chen Sanhu's head really exploded for his master.This is really a later story.

When Zuo Shaoqing broke up with Chen Sanhu, he asked him: "Sanhu, do you still have money in your pocket?"
