Roaming In The World Of Film And Television

Chapter 527

After Chen Jitang lost power, Zhang Yonghua took Xin’er back to Foshan to avoid disaster. It was Lin Yue who helped the mother and daughter and their mother escape the search by Yu Hanmou’s subordinates who surrendered to the Central Army.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Lin Yue is their benefactor, although because of Wu Zhongsu’s relationship, since last year, Ye Wen has tried to keep a distance from his elder brother and Lin elder brother. But to Zhang Yongcheng, the friend that this little Sister knew on the train was far more reliable than Wu Zhongsu’s husband and wife… This has nothing to do with the distance between close and close relatives. The main reason is that Wu Zhongsu is both stubborn and stupid, but he is self-righteous and good at being a human being. division.

Zhang Yongcheng quickly controlled his emotions: “Why are you here?”

She hurriedly drew him into the house, scratched her head outside, and looked at the traitor who was not following her. She breathed a sigh of relief and gently closed the door.

A few days ago, Ye Wen took her jade bracelet to the grain shop to exchange rice. He heard that the coachman who used to pull the foot said that the Japanese were looking for the senior officials of the Foshan Jingwu Association because there was evidence that they were actively gathering boxers from the north before the Japanese occupation of Foshan. With bad intentions, Lin Yue, as the vice president of the Jingwu Association, is naturally the focus of his “care”.

Fortunately, it is rumored that he left Foshan first and went to HK to avoid disaster.

Unexpectedly, he appeared in the city now, still swaggering like no one else.

Lin Yue looked a little bit amused when she looked nervous: “Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous. The Japanese army had just occupied Foshan at that time. As a civil organization hostile to them, it is normal for the Jingwu Society to be suppressed. The Japanese are now stationed in Foshan. I stabilized my heels, and the fire for capturing key members of the Jingwu Club was much weaker. In addition, they need the existence of the Lin Trading Company to maintain the market. As long as they don’t do anything good, they won’t move me.”

Zhang Yongcheng thought about it seriously, and thought it was such a reason.

After the Japanese entered Foshan, they wrecked their factories and buildings. The urban population dropped from more than 300,000 in its heyday to 70,000, and the market economy was on the verge of collapse.

The people above realized that it was impossible to fish by exhaustion, so they began to relax control and allow food, clothing, medicine, energy and other businesses to operate under the supervision of traitors. The trading company operated by Lin Yue was able to sell daily necessities such as clothes, soap, matches, etc. from HK. Coming to Foshan is an economic lifeline. The Japanese naturally have to weigh the pros and cons and make a choice between arresting a martial artist or using him to restore the Foshan market.

Just like Lin Yue said, as long as he is an honest businessman, the Japanese will not move him in the short term.

Seeing her calm down, Lin Yue glanced at the environment of the house. There are two rooms at the front and back. The stove and the living room are connected together. Every day it is smoky and the old furniture nearby is covered with a layer of ash that cannot be wiped off.

The bedroom and the living room were separated by hollow screens and rag strips. Inside there was a bed with bricks on one side. A Jun was lying on it. He came in from the outside and didn’t get to the ground, just staring at him unblinkingly.

“Where is Senior Brother Ye?”

Zhang Yongcheng straightened his hair scattered on the temples, and smiled forcefully: “He has gone to a friend’s house as a guest.”

Going to a friend’s house?

In this precarious environment, who is fine to visit a friend’s house? I am afraid that Ye Wen is going to do coolie, because when he entered the house, he saw a set of gowns in the corner tub with a lot of soot on it. .

Although this Ye Wen speaks and does things modestly and prudently, there is a kind of detachment in his bones. After the disaster, he refuses to be favored by others. The day before yesterday, he took two transactions to the factory in Qingquan. The other party told him that he had encountered Ye Wen on the street. He was kind enough to persuade him to work in a cotton spinning factory, so that he could at least have enough food and clothing for his family, but it was a pity that Ye Wen refused.

“Sit, you sit down.” Zhang Yongcheng let him onto the stool next to the Eight Immortals table and went to the stove to get a kettle to help him make tea, but after searching for a long time, he only found a little tea powder in the iron box.

Cuckoo…

A muffled noise came in the direction of the bedroom.

Lin Yue looked at the place where the sound was coming from, Ye Zhun was touching his belly with his hand, looking at him curiously.

“Aquan, don’t you recognize me?”

“Yes, you are Lin Uncle who teaches children to read and write.”

When Zhang Yongcheng was taking his son to go shopping, he passed through Endeavour and met several times. Ye Wen also joked that he would send him to study and literacy when A Chun was one or two years older. Teacher Lin was so good that he could save a fortune in education. fee.

“Oh, yes, your paintings are also very good.”

Lin Yue smiled: “It’s almost evening and I still take a nap, why don’t you go out and play?”

A Zhun said with a serious face: “Dad used to like boxing very much, but it’s been a long time now. He said how easy it is to be hungry. We have no money now, so we have to save some money. Then I won’t go out to play, mom. You can eat more with Dad.”

Lin Yue couldn’t help but smile: “Aquan is really good.”

After opening the bag on the table, he took out a small tin box with an English cover and handed it over: “Hungry, these are the biscuits I brought from HK. Let’s have some first.”

Azhun got up from the bed, trying to pick up the iron box he handed over, but stopped halfway through his hand, looking at Zhang Yongcheng with questions.

“Since it is the gift Lin Uncle brought you, take it.” She held the tea cup in both hands and pushed it in front of Lin Yue. Although it has only been a few months since the last meeting, compared with the exquisite facial features of Zhang Yongcheng before, whether it is The complexion is still the head of spirit, and it’s much worse.

A Zhun said thank you Lin Uncle, took the tin box, opened the lid with the strength of feeding, grabbed a handful of biscuits and stuffed it in his mouth, and the powder was scattered.

At this time, Zhang Yongcheng made a small gesture. She walked over and pushed the iron box in front of Ah Zhun, so that the fallen debris would not be scattered on the bed, but would be collected in the iron box.

Before getting married, she was the daughter of the vice mayor. After getting married, the young grandmothers of big families have much better life conditions than ordinary people. What about now? Just relying on Ye Wen’s desolation, she has never left, she has also learned how to live the life of ordinary people, and she is an admirable good woman.

Lin Yue took a sip from the teacup. The tea was a bit astringent, and there was a circle of tea powder floating on it, which seemed to be cheap, but he drank it naturally.

“Sister-in-law, do you remember what you said to me when you were looking for Brother Ye in the backyard of Endeavour Hall?”

Zhang Yongcheng thought for a while and nodded with a smile.

Lin Yue said: “I haven’t eaten your cooking in Foshan for several years, so I won’t leave tonight.”

Zhang Yongcheng is very happy that he said so, but the biggest problem now is that there is only a little rice in the urn. During the day, Ye Wen went to the mine to make coolie for people. A roasted sweet potato sent at noon would save half of it and bring it back to A Jun as a ration. , Where is there any extra food to entertain the guests, I can’t say… I can only wait for Ye Wen to come back, let him use the jade that his father gave her when the two got married, and buy some meat and vegetables.

“Oh, right.”

Lin Yue took out a long and narrow oil-paper bag from the bag, inside it was a piece of bacon of almost four catties.

He took out another oil-paper bag with cotton rope on it, and two tail fins exposed underneath. It should be a pair of carps, weighing more than ten kilograms.

This is not the end.

The third greased paper package was taken apart and it was a small roast goose, almost smeared with brown greased paper.

This is not the end.

He stroked his hand in his bag, and took out several boxes of canned beef and a bottle of wine.

I didn’t expect to pack so many things in a small amount.

Zhang Yongcheng looked silly, and Ah Jun, who was sitting on the bedside gnawing biscuits, swallowed hard.

In the past, these foods were nothing to the Ye Family, but in the present, it is a feast to improve Life.

“Foshan is not as good as it used to be. When I came here, I bought something like this after walking around in the street. Sister-in-law, just watch and do it.”

Zhang Yongcheng took a deep look at him, his nose was slightly sour, and his heart was full of appreciation and gratitude. This cheap junior who did not have much growth with Ye Wen was really good to their family.

Ye asked who? He was never willing to be favored by others, and even Qingquan, who owed them money, refused to call him to help in the factory. If Lin Yue gave the money, he would definitely not accept it, but what if he came to the house as a guest? The guests brought the ingredients to the house to eat. It was not called gratuity, but courtesy, so that Ye Wen wouldn’t have to feel owed to favors.

…

Ye Wen came back from the mine when it was getting dark, his face, body, and clothes were covered with soot. Zhang Yongcheng waited for him to wash his face and change clothes. After that, he put the stewed fish and steamed bacon out of the pot and put them on the table. , I served a bowl of porridge for everyone, and helped Azhun wash his hands. Then, under Lin Yue’s persuasion, he sat down next to Ye Wen, and the four people gathered around the table while eating and talking.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, while Zhang Yongcheng cleaned up the leftovers on the table, Lin Yue took the daily routine to business.

“Senior Brother Ye, there is actually one thing I want to ask you for help during this visit.”

Ye Wen was stunned for a moment: “Junior, you said, as long as I can do it.”
