Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two

Pan Shaojing stopped in front of the Siwei Building on his motorcycle, and hurried into the restaurant.Nawen greeted and said: "Shaojing, have you come to take care of the business of Siweilou this early in the morning?" Shaojing said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that the third shopkeeper is back?" Nawen said with a smile: "You and I The third son of the family is really a brother than a brother. He arrived at the house in the middle of the night last night, and you came early this morning. Do you have any ideas?" Pan Shaojing said: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the third shopkeeper brought a treasure. Come back." Na Wen asked with a smile: "How do you know? Have you installed eyeliner at the door of my house? From now on, the Zhu family really has to be wary of you." Shao Jing asked with a smile: "He Did you bring back the treasure?" Na Wen said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a treasure, it's just a piece of gold." Shao Jing widened his eyes and said, "What, gold?" Na Wen said: "Yes , A dog's head gold is a piece of gold the size of a dog's head!"

Chuanjie yawned when he heard the sound.Nawen glanced at Chuanjie, and said angrily: "You, there is such a good thing, so I can't sit still. Can't you sleep a little longer?" Chuanjie smiled and said, "Didn't you hear that Shaojing is coming?" Wen Zhengse said: "Don't forget, right now you are in charge of Siweilou, so you should take care of everything more or less." Chuanjie nodded with a smile.Shao Jing asked: "Golden dog head, is it true? Don't look at our country traveling so many places in and out of the country, I have never seen a dog's head gold." Chuanjie smiled and said: "It's true or not, you will see it when you see it." Got it. Our dog's head gold is not ordinary, you can take ordinary dog's head gold, no matter how many pieces!" He said, leading Shao Jing into the backyard.

Shao Jing asked eagerly: "Where is it?" Chuanjie pointed to a tray on the table, which was covered with a red cloth.Shao Jing carefully removed the red cloth, and there was a large piece of black and shiny coal on the tray.Shao Jing looked back at Chuanjie, and said, "Third brother, what do you mean? Is this called Goutoujin?" Chuanjie smiled and said, "Shaojing, this time I came back with a caravan and passed by the Jiazigou in the south. At that time, the heavy rain washed away the hillside, and I dug this piece of coal on the hillside!" Shao Jing looked at the coal, then at Chuanjie's excited face, and asked with bright eyes: "You mean you found a coal seam? ?” Chuanjie nodded.Shaojing asked again: "You mean to open a coal mine in Jiazigou?" Chuanjie nodded and said loudly: "Yes, that's what I think. Do you want to do it?"

After hearing this, Shao Jing couldn't help pacing back and forth excitedly, thought for a while and said, "Third brother, opening a coal mine is not worth one or two dollars. Do you and I have that much money? We also need technology, do you understand?" Jie said: "Shao Jing, our firms in Rehe and Shandong can raise funds; as for technology, no one can get it if you have money!" Shao Jing patted Chuan Jie on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I think it will work! Do you know? These days I am worried, how can I use all my abilities while guarding such a small property of my fifth uncle?"

A few days later, two enthusiastic young people invited people from various shops in Shandong and Rehe on this street to discuss the important matter of developing the coal seam.Shao Jing said: "Men and young men, everyone already knew about Chuanjie's discovery of the coal seam in Jiazigou, right? In the past two days, Chuanjie and I have asked someone from the Eastern Provincial Department of Mining to take the equipment to Jiazigou, the test site. Two drills were drilled, what is the result? Experts from the Mining Department said that Jiazigou has abundant coal reserves and high quality. According to them, this is probably the most promising coal mine in Northeast China. The world is now in the industrial age Coal is indispensable for building cities and running factories. It can be said that coal is the source of power and the source of wealth! Whoever controls the coal mine is equivalent to possessing black gold!"

Shopkeeper Yu said: "Shaojing, it's useless to say the truth, you can tell us how to do it!" Shaojing said: "I discussed with Chuanjie that this coal mine will be jointly owned by our firm in Rehe and Shandong. Do it! I wonder if you have any opinions?" Shopkeeper Ge said: "Okay, that's a good idea. Now our Rehe and Shandong firms are finally going to join hands to do something big!" Shopkeeper Liu stood up, waved his hands and told everyone to calm down Jing said: "Men and young men, it is indeed a good thing for us to open a coal mine in partnership. Shao Jing made the truth very clear. However, it is not enough to run a business with a mine. You have to listen to the detailed accounts. Earn, how much money."

Chuanjie stood up and said: "Master Liu is thoughtful, so he has to talk about the details. Have you heard of the Fushun Coal Mine near Fengtian? At the beginning, it was first opened by a person from Rehe and a person from Shandong. Then It happened at the end of the Qing Dynasty. In the second year after the construction started, 300 tons of coal could be produced in one day. One ton of coal was spent, leaving a net of 8 yuan, and a net of 2,400 yuan a day. One month. What about one year? Ten years? I don’t need to settle this account, everyone is clearer than me, right?” Someone said loudly: "Is it worth it? Where in the world can I find such a profitable business? Let's do it!" Shao Jing stood up and said: "Since all the young and old have such a heart, let me see about the joint coal mine. That's it! There is still one thing to discuss with everyone. Chuanjie and I named our coal mine Shanhe Coal Mine." Someone asked, "Is there any significance to this name?" Chuanjie said: "It doesn't matter too much. The mountain refers to Shandong; the river refers to Rehe. It is called Shanhe Coal Mine, which means that this coal mine is jointly run by people from Shandong and Rehe." Everyone agreed: "Okay, this name is good! It has inspired the Rehe people and made the Shandong people famous!"

After the matter of Shanhe Coal Mine was discussed, Chuanjie returned home and held a small meeting in the room.Chuanjie, Yushu, and Nawen had already taken their seats, and the son dragged Xiu'er in.Xiu'er said: "Sister-in-law, I don't understand business, why should I tell you?" Nawen said: "Don't say whether you understand business or not, are you from our Zhu family?" Chuanjie also said "Second sister-in-law, let's discuss such a big matter together." Xiu'er just sat down.Chuanjie said: "Our father, mother and eldest brother are not at home. We are partnering to open a coal mine on this street. We have to discuss how much our family will invest." Na Wen said: "In the past two days, I will Thinking, who doesn’t want to make a lot of money in business? Since opening a coal mine is a business that can make a lot of money, let’s make a big bet.” Yushu said, “I agree with my sister-in-law.”

Xiu'er said: "Such a big matter, should we wait for our father and the others to come back to decide?" Chuanjie said disapprovingly: "It's not something that can't be seen clearly. I'm afraid it's too late when they come back. I'm worried." Yes, right now we can’t get much money out of our account.” Na Wen said, “It’s easy, let’s mortgage the Siwei Building, so we can take the money from the bank?” Chuanjie was a little suspicious Said: "I'm afraid our father will not agree?" Na Wen shook his head and said: "You, third child, Bai has been with our father for so many years! Don't you know what kind of person our father is? Our father depends on things." Pay attention to a big one, and pay attention to a new one in doing things! Is it big to open a coal mine? Is it new? Isn’t this just what our father wants? Don’t think about it, and go to the bank to mortgage the Siwei Building tomorrow!” Xiu’er said: “If Is our father unhappy?" Nawen pointed at Xiu'er and said, "You, do you think our father is you? When something happens, I can't make up my mind for eight hundred years—just look! Putting Siweilou on the line, the old creases on his face will disappear without a smile, no wonder!" All four of them laughed.

Yushu asked: "Have you and Shaojing submitted the application for mining?" Chuanjie said: "I have submitted it, can they still disagree? Industrial power is the current trend." Wen asked: "You are from the Eastern Province of the Eastern Province. Where does the Eastern Province refer?" Chuanjie said, "The Eastern Province was established to facilitate the management of the areas near the Middle East Railway. It should be called the Eastern Province Special Administrative Region. It includes Harbin, Suifenhe in the east, Manzhouli in the west, and Changchun in the south, such a large area! The eastern province, like Heilongjiang and Jilin, is directly under the central government’s control.”

Lao Qin, the secretary of Director Yao of the Eastern Provincial Department of Mining, is at his desk handling official duties.Ishikawa, vice president of Morita & Co., Ltd., came in.Secretary Qin raised his head and greeted politely: "Hello, Mr. Ishi Chuan." Ishi Chuan said with displeasure on his face: "Secretary Qin, how can I be okay? How many times have I run back and forth here, and my legs are thin! Is it time for the application to be approved?" Secretary Qin said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Shi Chuan, I'm really sorry, Director Yao went down to inspect again in the past two days." Shi Chuan said: "We had a meeting yesterday and inspected today. President Morita wondered if you Sincerely approve our application for mining the Jiazigou Coal Mine!" Secretary Qin said: "How can you be insincere! There have been more than a dozen meetings and meetings for you to mine the Jiazigou Coal Mine." Shi Chuan said: "When will the approval be given? What about it?" Secretary Qin said: "Director Yao said as soon as possible, it must be as soon as possible! This matter is not only related to the development of Northeast China, but also the relationship between China and Japan!" Shi Chuan snorted, turned his head and left, meeting Chuanjie and Shao Jing.Shi Chuan was so angry that when he walked past Chuanjie and Shao Jing, he muttered in Japanese: "The Chinese are really slipperier than loaches." Shao Jing stopped, turned around and asked him in Japanese, "What did you just say? Ishi Chuan was startled and said: "I, I didn't say anything! Did I say anything?" After finishing speaking, he hurried downstairs.Chuanjie asked Shao Jing, "What did he just say?" Shao Jing said, "Calling the Chinese more slippery than loaches." Chuanjie looked at Shi Chuan who was walking down the stairs and said, "You Japanese are more villainous than ghosts. " The two met Secretary Qin, and Secretary Qin asked them to sit down and said: "I just saw your names on the application for mining, and I will see you today, welcome! Welcome!" Shao Jing asked: "Secretary Qin, what is the purpose of our application?" Have you read the book?" Secretary Qin said: "Yes, Director Yao read it personally." Chuanjie said: "Is there any problem?" Secretary Qin said: "Well, Director Yao didn't say anything. Chuanjie said: "When will it be approved?" Secretary Qin said: "That's hard to say. Japan's Morita Coal Mine is also going to mine Jiazigou Coal Mine, and their application for mining has been reported. I haven’t made up my mind yet! Besides, you’ve only reported it for a week.” Shao Jing said, “Just now, the one who came out from here was someone from Morita Bussan?” Secretary Qin nodded and said, “Ishi Chuan, the vice president of Morita Bussan.” Chuanjie said: "You wouldn't hand over the Jiazigou coal mine to the Japanese, would you?" Secretary Qin asked: "Why not?" Chuanjie said: "How can the Chinese mine be exploited by the Japanese?" Secretary Qin asked He smiled and said: "Don't talk about the mines, look around and see how many Japanese troops live in the Northeast!" Shao Jing said: "Could you give up the Jiazigou coal mine to the Japanese?" Secretary Qin said: "No. This is possible!" Chuanjie said: "Secretary Qin, can we meet Director Yao?" Secretary Qin said: "Director Yao is not here today, so I went down to inspect." Shao Jing said: "I take the liberty to ask: Let the Japanese open the Jiazigou Coal Mine, or let us open the Shanhe Coal Mine, what does Director Yao mean?" Secretary Qin smiled meaningfully and said: "When the interests of Chinese companies and Japanese companies conflict, Director Yao has always been very careful, sometimes even if he makes up his mind, isn’t there someone in charge of him?” Chuanjie and Shao Jing looked at each other with a smile and said, “Secretary Qin, please be more considerate anyway. , please." Secretary Qin said: "You're welcome, you're welcome, you should." The two said goodbye.Chuanjie said: "The Japanese also took a fancy to Jiazigou Coal Mine, which is really unexpected!" Shao Jing said: "It's not surprising! The Japanese established the so-called 'Mainland Policy' as early as after the Meiji Restoration. Including the plan to occupy Taiwan and the Northeast of China. To realize this plan, the Japanese have sent countless spies over the years to secretly investigate the mineral deposits and products in our Northeast." Chuanjie said: "However, the Provincial Mining Department is still confused today. , still not sure about it!” Shao Jing said: “The government is fatuous and corrupt.” Chuan Jie said: “It’s useless to scold them, how can we get the coal mining right now?” Shao Jing said: “They are not fatuous , isn’t it corrupt? Why don’t you give them some money, and the officials will recognize the money!” Chuanjie smiled and said, “Just now you scolded corruption, and if you add more money, it’s not to make them more corrupt, and more corrupt. Is it?" Shao Jing said: "But, if you want to do something, it will work if you pay for it!" Chuanjie shook his head and said, "Don't think about it! Since Morita Co., Ltd. also wants to develop the Jiazigou Coal Mine, it is our opponent. Let's find out what Morita Products is first, right?" Shao Jing said, "I'll take care of that. Let's check his roots, I still have classmates in Japan!" The sun shone warmly on the small hill outside Zhujiayu Village, and the hill was densely covered with grave mounds.Chuanwen helped his father and mother to the grave of his grandparents. He pointed to a newly repaired tomb next to the grave and said, "Father, mother, I will find someone to repair it according to your wishes." Zhu Kaishan said "Mother Wen, we will live here in the future." Chuanwen said: "Father, mother, this is a bluestone pavement. The bluestone is raised to help, and the seams are tied with cement. The craftsmen said that such a grave is safe." It has been impenetrable to wind and rain for hundreds of years." Wen Ta Niang said: "Okay, Boss, your father and mother did not raise you in vain!" Zhu Kaishan walked around the grave of his parents and said, "Mother Wen, how old was our father when he died?" His mother Wen said, "Is he two years younger than you are now? Back then you made trouble in the Boxer Rebellion and ran away without a trace." Yes, the officers and soldiers took our father away, and when the trustee took him home with his face, our father could only vent his breath but not breathe in. Before he died, he still chanted your nickname, saying: 'I don't want to leave, Huzi You haven't come back yet!'" Zhu Kaishan's eyes turned slightly red when he heard this. Chuanwen placed offerings in front of the graves of grandparents.Zhu Kaishan lit a stick of incense, looked at the grave, and murmured softly: "Father, mother, the unfilial son has returned, leading his daughter-in-law and children back. When you were alive, your son did not respect you properly. Today, your son I also built a nest for myself next to you. When my son dies, I will come back and take good care of you. When it is cold, my son will put on clothes and fill firewood for you; when it is hot, my son will fan you and wipe your sweat ..." Chuanwen took care of his father and mother all the way down the mountain, and asked, "Mother, should we go back to Harbin?" His mother Wen said, "It depends on your father." Chuanwen said to Zhu Kaishan, "Daddy!" , we came back this trip to pay homage to the ancestor’s grave, the old house was repaired, and the grave of your two elders was also done, shouldn’t it be time to go back?” Zhu Kaishan was looking at a few wild vegetables beside the road in a daze, and said casually: “ Is that right? Boss, do you know what kind of vegetable this is?" Chuanwen looked at the wild vegetables and said, "Bitter vegetables, I used to dig them when I was young." Zhu Kaishan bent down and picked up a bitter vegetable and put it I chewed it in my mouth, smacked it and said: "It still tastes the same. That year, your grandma brought me to dig bitter vegetables. After digging for a long time, I filled a basket full. When I was going down the mountain, I fell down. Bitter vegetables were scattered halfway up the hillside, and your grandma picked me up, without beating or scolding, she just said, Tiger, when will you grow up?" Chuanwen asked, "Father, how old were you back then? ?” Zhu Kaishan: “You’re only five or six years old! In the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed.” Wen Ta Niang said, “It’s time to go back to Kanto, and it will be your sixty-sixth birthday in two days!” When the three of them returned home, they sent a message to let their parents sit at the table, while they were busy on the stove, and turned around to bring the dishes on the table.Zhu Kaishan looked at the refurbished old house and said, "This house looks like new once it's repaired." Wen Ta Niang said, "Yes, it will be fine in another 20 or 30 years. Boss, don't worry about it." Sit down!" Chuanwen agreed, served another plate of food, and sat down too.Zhu Kaishan poured wine for Chuanwen, and Chuanwen waved his hands and said, "Father, how can this work, I'll pour it for you." Zhu Kaishan said, "You have contributed the most to this trip back to my hometown. Father must thank you." The father and son clinked glasses and drank each.Zhu Kaishan said: "Boss, have you thought about our family's future?" Chuanwen nodded and said, "Father, I have thought about it too." Zhu Kaishan said: "What do you think?" Said: "I want to buy the two shops on the west side of Siweilou, and the seats in Siweilou will be doubled. By then, I think, Siweilou will be the largest Lu cuisine restaurant in Harbin! Wen Ta Niang said: "Okay, but Boss, can we do that?" Chuan Wen said: "Mom, why not? How many years has our family opened a restaurant? Our five-spice sauce beef, rich and rich, Yipinhuo Fenghuang and Manhan Chengxiang are mentioned in Harbin, who doesn’t know? Besides, how many repeat customers are there in our family? Often, the dial does not leave, and the guests behind will be booked. Double the seats , our Siweilou must still be full of customers. I know everything about this stall, so don’t worry.” Zhu Kaishan asked: "What's the next step?" Chuanwen blinked and said, "The next step? How can I do the next step? Dad, I really didn't think about it." Zhu Kaishan said: "Boss, dad will replace you You think about it, the next step, we have to turn around and go back to our hometown." Wen Ta Niang said: "What? Leave the Siweilou behind and let the children go back to their hometown?" Zhu Kaishan said: "I have mine. It makes sense! As the saying goes, starting a business is not easy, but keeping a business is even more difficult. Why don’t we close it as soon as it’s good, transfer the Siweilou to Shandong to open, and then buy a hundred and eighty acres of land. Our family is not afraid of wind or rain, and we can live a peaceful life How wonderful! Also, just two days ago, Marshal Zhang ordered the Japanese to blow up to death. I see, there will be a battle in Guandong Mountain sooner or later, between the Chinese and the Japanese. I really don’t want to endure the turbulent years. .” Chuanwen raised his glass and said, "Father, what a great idea you have! Before and after, everyone at home and abroad thought of it, Zhou Quan, really Zhou Quan! Dad, I offer you a toast." Both father and father drank another glass.Chuanwen drank a few glasses of wine, and said excitedly: "Father, mother, I have something to ask my elders, our three sons, and the third daughter-in-law, which one do you like the most?" His wife Wen laughed. Said: "Boss, if you ask this question, you probably have a clue in your heart, right?" Chuanwen smiled and said, "I think it's Chuanwu." Right?" Zhu Kaishan shook his head with a smile and said: "In terms of temperament, the second child is a bit like me, not afraid of trouble, easy to fight against injustice. However, since he was a child, he has evil spirits and is unstable. He has been a soldier for so many years. I think that evil spirit is getting bigger and bigger! Leave Xiu'er at home and don't ask, is this a man? Is this a man who has a family and a career? I don't like it!" Chuanwen asked tentatively : "The most important thing is Chuanjie?" Zhu Kaishan said: "In terms of knowledge, yes, the third child is the best. In terms of vision, the third child is also broad-minded, but he has a little problem." Chuanwen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, dad?" Zhu Kaishan said, "I'm missing a little foundation in doing things." Chuanwen said, "It's just that I'm not so thoughtful when things happen?" Zhu Kaishan nodded and said, " That’s right, that’s what it means.” Chuanwen said: “Father, I also think of Lao San in the same way. You listen to him and he speaks clearly and logically, but when you see him doing things, he often cares about his head and ignores his back. It’s a little bit less like Father is so far-sighted." Wen Ta Niang nodded and said: "Boss, you are right!" Zhu Kaishan said: "Boss, don't just talk, add some shallots dipped in sauce." Chuanwen turned around and added some green onions, and asked reluctantly: "Father, mother, can you comment on me?" Zhu Kaishan said, "How do you comment?" Chuanwen smiled and said: "Look at what I still do. What places are Zhou Zheng Zhou Zheng?" Zhu Kaishan said: "Let your mother tell me!" Wen Ta Niang thought for a moment and said: "Among the children, the one who cares most about the family has to be the eldest, right, his father ?" Zhu Kaishan smiled lightly and said: "Does this also use Zhou Zheng?" Wen Taniang said: "Boss has something that others can't compare to. He never causes trouble. It is the most reassuring for parents." Chuanwen also laughed Liao said: "Mother, I want you to say that I don't take your fancy." Wen Ta Niang looked at Zhu Kaishan and said, "Father, what do you say?" Zhu Kaishan said: "Everything that sounds good is called You said, leave it to me if you don’t like it, well, I’ll just pretend to be a bad face. Boss, if you say that your father and mother disapprove of you the most, it’s that you can’t afford to be the boss of the family. The second child, you can’t agree with the third child, you are afraid of getting three points for your own daughter-in-law, that’s not okay!” Chuanwen raised his glass and said, “Father, I’m going to have another drink for what I said to you today. From now on, even if I put my head on the ground, I have to hold down the second child and persuade the third child! Dad, mother, I will do it. If you want to talk about that, why do I feel that I have never been afraid of her?" Zhu Kaishan He Wen Ta Niang laughed. It was late at night, and Zhu Kaishan and Wen Ta Niang had already laid down.His mother Wen said to Zhu Kaishan: "His father, it's better to lie down comfortably in the old house." Zhu Kaishan said: "You still need to say, what's not good in my hometown?" Wen His mother joked: "You and the boss Go back, I don’t want to go back to Kanto, it’s a world of ice and snow.” Zhu Kaishan said, “How can you live here by yourself?” Wen Ta Niang said, “Why can’t you? If it’s not possible, just find someone else to make do with it. Of course, I’m afraid there will be no one to catch up with you.” Zhu Kaishan patted Wen Ta Niang and said, “You can’t let go of me, but I can’t let you go!” Wen Ta Niang sighed and said, “Yes. If there is another life left, I still have to marry you..." For some reason, the eye circles of the old couple were a little wet.The lights in the east room were still on.Occasionally, a few dogs barked from afar, filling the night in this hometown with warmth. The old club came back from their hometown in Shandong, and the chefs were frying and frying on the stove to prepare for the banquet.A waiter came in and said, "Master Wang, dip shallots in miso sauce and prepare another." Master Wang stopped what he was doing and said, "Why is the dish so light today?" The waiter said, "The old boss just came from his hometown in Shandong. When I came back, I said I was tired on the road, and I wanted to eat some light food." Master Wang said, "There are already two servings of this shallot dipped in miso sauce!" One bite." Master Wang said: "Then he can't eat three servings alone?" The waiter said with a smile: "Looking at the old boss's favorite food, the little ones like it or not, so we have to grab two. Chopsticks!" Said so that Master Wang also laughed. In the yard, the Zhu family sat around together, chatting and laughing happily.Nawen said: "Father, Chuanjie has done a big thing when you're not at home these days!" Mother Wen asked, "What is it?" Chuanjie smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, just leading the caravan Going back, I picked up a piece of coal at Jiazigou in the south." Chuanwen said: "What a big deal it is to pick up a piece of coal!" The text said: "What do you understand? Take this piece of coal and ask someone who knows how to go to Jiazigou After investigation, it turns out that there is a big coal mine hidden underground!" Zhu Kaishan said, "The coal mine is just a coal mine, what does it have to do with our family?" The waiter brought the shallots dipped in miso sauce.The son yelled: "Why is there another plate? I ate nothing but green vegetables today!" Wen's mother laughed, and said to Zhu Kaishan: "Father, people of the younger generation don't like our taste!" Wen said: " Mom, don’t say that, I like this one.” Wen’s mother looked at that Wen and said, “The things of the older generation are hard to understand.” She turned her head and said to Zhu Kaishan: “Today’s one When I entered the door, I distributed the homemade cloth and shoes I brought from my hometown in Shandong to the three daughters-in-law. Guess what they said? Someone said, "Mother, it's so ugly! What age are you still wearing these things?" Then Wen hurriedly asked, "Mother, who said that?" His mother Wen said, "I don't know who said that, but I only heard Xiu'er say that those shoes look handsome, and the clothes made of homemade cloth are also beautiful on the body." Shu Tan." Chuanwen said with a stern face: "There is only a three-bedroom daughter-in-law in this room, who said the disrespectful words? Come forward and admit your mistake to mother." Yu Shu said: "Mother, you heard, I was the one who said that in front of you, and I was wrong." She turned to Chuanwen and said, "But, brother, there is such a person who doesn't say that in front of our mother, and when my mother turns around, she speaks worse than me. Awesome." Chuanwen stared and said, "Yushu, you get that person out for me! She's got too courageous, and she's playing tricks at Lao Zhu's house!" His wife Wen said with a smile : "Boss, please sit down quickly, who is that person, do you still need to ask?" Shengzi said: "Father, what the third aunt said must be my mother!" Everyone in the room laughed. Xiu'er remembered what was said about the coal mine just now, and said, "Father, it's not that our family has nothing to do with the opening of the coal mine!" Na Wen said, "Father, quite a few businesses on this street have taken over! "Xiu'er said: "Our family has invested the principal!" Chuanwen hurriedly asked: "How much did you invest?" Nawen smiled and said: "How much you can invest is the living money in the account!" Chuanwen asked again Chuanjie said, "Is that how much money is really invested?" Chuanjie said, "Brother, don't you trust me, don't you trust sister-in-law?" You can’t vote even a dime!” He looked at Chuanjie and asked, “Third brother, how much did you invest?” Chuanjie hesitated and said, “Father, let’s talk about it after dinner first?” Zhu Kaishan said: "Father told you to talk now." Chuanjie was a little embarrassed.Chuanwen urged from the side: "Third brother, didn't you hear what our father said?" Chuanjie said anxiously: "How can I keep such a clear record? You are in a hurry to check the accounts yourself!" Chuanwen said: "Why did you lose face? , I am also for our father and mother, and for our family." After finishing speaking, I really lifted my buttocks and went to the account room. Before going out, I turned around and pointed at Chuanjie and said, "You, third child, did you come back?" Long Dun, mess up Gangji!" Na Wen said: "Father, you always see things a head above us, why don't you let me start the coal mine business this time?" Zhu Kaishan said: "Why not? Daddy doesn't want to tell you yet!" Nawen said again: "Father, didn't our family come out of Fangniugou to try to run to a new road? Opening coal mines is the most profitable business right now. Why don't we do it?" Zhu Kaishan interrupted him and said: " Boss daughter-in-law, you don’t have to hide it for Chuanjie, I’ll tell him to answer, and you keep your mouth shut.” Wen Ta Niang persuaded Zhu Kaishan: “His father, we’re not at home, and the children have returned to the Lord, so it’s a matter of doing things. Wrong, you have to let Xiaosan finish the meal before reprimanding him!" Zhu Kaishan squinted at Chuanjie, and Chaowen's mother said: "Have you heard that sentence, it doesn't hurt to call Grandpa Sun !" No one in the family dared to speak out, and they lowered their heads to eat.Chuanwen came back, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and said to Zhu Kaishan: "Father, we have called San'er to play tricks!" His mother Wen asked, "What's the matter?" Chuanwen said with a smile "I haven't even moved a dime in the account!" Mrs. Wen scolded Chuanjie and said, "San'er, are you serious? I'm afraid your father hasn't worked hard enough?" Chuanjie also laughed. Liao said: "Originally, I wanted to amuse my father, but my father turned his face and invested money to open a coal mine. Without my father, who would dare to mess around with such a big matter, right, sister-in-law?" Quickly went on and said: "Isn't it? The shops all over the street are rushing to pay for shares. San'er led us, but insisted on standing still, saying that there is no father, and they say it's breaking the sky, so we don't invest a single son." Zhu Kaishan raised his cup and said, "Come on, let's toast you heroes." Chuanjie, Nawen, and Yushu hurriedly stood up and raised their cups, and Nawen said, "Father, it's up to us to respect you. It was you who taught well in the past." After eating, watching his parents go back to the house to rest, Na Wen gave Yu Shu a wink, Yu Shu looked at Xiu'er again, and went back to the house.Chuanjie was anxious like an ant on a hot pot in the room. When he saw Yushu come in, he said, "Close the curtains." After a while, Xiu'er came in quietly and asked, "Your sister-in-law is still here?" Yushu said, "No What about it." Xiu'er said: "Can't she talk to elder brother about it?" Before Yushu could reply, the text flashed in.Yu Shu said: "Sister-in-law, why did you come here?" Na Wen said: "I was looking at whether there was anyone watching behind Xiu Er." Xiu Er hurriedly asked: "Is there?" Na Wen said: "Yes "Xiu'er was surprised: "Who?" Na Wen said with a smile: "It's me!" Chuanjie said: "Stop making trouble, let's talk about serious business. We used Siweilou as a mortgage, and it has already been paid. Shanhe Coal Mine's account, it's too late to repent now, what should we do with our father's attitude?" Yu Shu said, "You must not let the old man know about this." Xiu'er said, "It can be concealed. What happened?" Nawen said: "If you can't hide it, you have to hide it. My sister-in-law has a way: the old man will not take hard things, and his sixty-sixth birthday will be in two days. When the time comes, let's say something nice. Maybe, as soon as the old man is happy, he will agree." Yushu asked Chuanjie, "Is this possible?" Chuanjie said, "I have to wait and see!" Shao Jing rode a motorcycle and drove Chuanjie to the big forest on the outskirts of Harbin.Chuanjie asked: "What are we doing here?" Shao Jing said: "Get some wild animals! In two days, isn't it your father's sixty-sixth birthday? It's also a gift!" He took out a small and exquisite pistol Said, "Browning, made in the United States, 45 caliber, the latest style." Chuanjie said, "Can you use it?" Shaojing inserted the magazine, opened the nose and said, "What shall we shoot?" Chuanjie said Pointing to a bird on a branch not far away, he said, "Did you see it? Just shoot that bird." Shao Jing raised his gun and aimed it for a long time. The gun rang, and the bird flew away, only a few leaves fell. .Chuanjie smiled and said, "With your marksmanship, you still shoot wild animals and celebrate my father's birthday! Look at me, I used the gun given by the young commander to shoot a black blind man." The two searched for wild animals in the forest.Chuanjie said: "Shaojing, my father does not agree to mortgage the Siwei Building! I still keep this matter from him now! Don't let it slip." Shaojing said: "Is this old man not confused? The coal mine is such a great thing! Don’t be afraid, see how I persuade him on his 66th birthday. By the way, I checked the matter of Morita Bussan. My Japanese classmates said that the president of Morita Bussan is called Morita Daisuke. There are coal mines in Japan, but in China they are mainly engaged in mineral and timber business. I also heard that Daisuke Morita has a deep background, and has some connections with Japanese political and military circles, and they can’t tell more about it.” Chuanjie A little surprised: "Morita still has coal mines in Japan?" Shao Jing said: "Yes, we have to get the mining rights as soon as possible, otherwise, the Jiazigou coal mine may fall into Morita's hands." Chuanjie said: "This I went to Director Yao twice in two days, but he wasn’t there.” Shao Jing said, “Is he avoiding us on purpose?” Chuanjie said, “It doesn’t look like that either, Secretary Qin told me that Yao The chief of the department has a peculiarity in handling affairs. He doesn’t make up his mind easily if he doesn’t investigate the matter to the ground.” Shao Jing said, “Then, is Director Yao secretly trying to figure out our bottom line?” Chuanjie said: “It’s also Didn’t you see him coming? Strange thing!” A military truck stopped in front of the Siwei Building. Several soldiers jumped out of the truck, loaded with live ammunition, and lined up on both sides of the gate. The guests who entered and exited hurriedly stepped aside.Chuanwu came down from the driver's cab, greeted the soldiers with a smile and said, "No, this is my house, everyone go in." Chuanwen came out from the door and said, "You, second child! Look at my sweat, I was scared to death just now." Chuanwu said with a smile: "Brother, why are you getting fat?" Chuanwen said: "I can still be fat? I keep the restaurant busy all day and hit the back of my head." Zhu Kaishan came out to see Chuanwu, He smiled and said, "Which general is this?" Chuanwu stepped forward and raised his hand to salute, and said, "Father, I'm back, you are fine?" Zhu Kaishan said, "What's the matter?" I lost a son by my side." As he spoke, he suddenly punched Chuanwu in the ribs.Chuanwu groaned, bowed his waist, and asked with a smile, "Father, did you use me as a sandbag?" Zhu Kaishan smiled at the soldiers and said, "Look, take a look, you soldiers, even a piece of tofu Not as good!" The soldiers also laughed and said, "Old man, I blame your hard fist!" Wen Ta Niang separated the crowd from the door, squinted her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Sir, what's your name?" Seeing that it was his mother, Chuan Wu hurriedly stepped back, solemnly saluted and said, "Mother, what is your surname?" I am Chuan Wu!" Wen Ta Niang stepped forward to look at her son carefully and said, "How did you get the dust on this face?" Chuan Wu said, "Take a car together, can you do well?" Wen Ta Niang burst into tears Liao said, "Second brother, you have been away for several years!" Chuan Wu said, "Mother, are you okay?" Wen Ta Niang said, "Is it okay? I miss you all day, you beast! "Zhu Kaishan said to his mother Wen: "You, if he doesn't come back, you talk about it all day; What are you talking about? This is called being a mother." After finishing speaking, she wiped her tears and shouted behind her: "Xiu'er, where is Xiu'er?" She pulled Xiu'er from the crowd, led Chuanwu with one hand, and Zhu Xiuer said: "Come on, let's go into the room and talk, let's talk slowly." Chuanwu told Chuanwen, "Brother, entertain these brothers well." Chuanwen agreed and led several soldiers into the room. I got a private room. The family sits down.文他娘看着传武说：“老二，娘怎么觉得你模样变了？”那文说：“娘，没看人家肩膀子上多了几个星吗？”秀儿悄悄问那文说：“那几个星是啥官？”那文说：“这话还得你问，俺算他什么人？”秀儿也不问，只是微微笑着瞅传武，传武说：“这几个星是上校。”朱开山问道：“那官职呢？”传武说：“团长。”秀儿又小声问那文说：“团长带多少人？”那文说：“还不得几千号人哪？”秀儿说：“妈呀，那么多人，可怎么管？”传武对门口站着守卫的两个士兵说：“去车上，把我的箱子拿来。”一个士兵答应着，出去了。 朱开山问：“传武，张大帅叫日本人炸了，少帅就这么忍了？”传武说：“不忍行吗？明知是日本人干的，可是查不到实处，查不到实处怎么动？还有，东北军里也是三帮五派的，真和日本人动兵，说不准哪一帮哪一派就反水投了日本人。再说，日本人早就要占领东北了，他正盼着你动兵呢！你一动兵，他有了借口，趁机就进攻东北。你说少帅能不忍吗？他得先稳住东北三省的局面，家仇国恨，等来日再说吧！这回少帅把我派回哈尔滨也是这个意思。”朱开山点点头，问道：“少帅多大年纪？”传武说：“上个月才过了二十七岁生日。”朱开山赞叹道：“比你还小，行！有城府，有韬略！” 士兵送进手提箱。传武打开取出一对玉麒麟，放到桌子上说：“爹，少帅听说你要过六十六岁的生日，这是他给你祝寿的礼物。”朱开山拿起玉麒麟看了看说：“太贵重了！替我谢谢少帅。”传武又从箱子里摸出一个精致的首饰盒递给娘说：“娘，这是少帅送给你的。”那文抢先接过去，打开首饰盒从里面取出一只硕大的玉石戒指，说：“妈呀！这可是件真装东西，祖母绿，最上讲究的祖母绿！在王府里也只有福晋、格格们才配得上戴。娘，你这是跟老二沾光了！”文他娘笑了说：“老二，娘做梦也没想到，还能跟你这个活兽沾上光！” 那文举起杯说：“老二，来，我替你大哥敬你一杯。”传武赶忙站起来说：“大嫂，这次回来得匆忙，没来得及给你和大哥带什么东西。我先喝，算赔罪。”那文也喝了说：“说什么呀，有你这么个团长的小叔子，明个儿我上街，不用放声，就有人鸣锣开道了。”一家人都笑了。 那文小声地对秀儿说：“秀儿，你知道我现在想什么吗？”秀儿问说：“想啥？”那文用更低的声音说：“嫂子恨你！”秀儿愣了说：“为啥？”那文笑着说：“为什么？你自个儿想！”文他娘说：“老二，今天，你可得好好敬秀儿一杯，这么多年，你不在家，人家为咱家出了多少力，你知道吗？”传武只好举起杯说：“秀儿，劳累你了。”秀儿低着头抿了一口酒。 朱开山说：“老二，我看，和日本人早晚有一仗。”传武说：“少帅也这么看。”朱开山说：“如果打起来，谁能赢？”传武说：“中国人呗！”朱开山说：“有这个把握吗？”传武说：“日本关东军在东北也就驻了一两万人，咱们东北军可是四五十万啊！咱们也有坦克，还有海军、空军。你说咱们能不赢吗？” 文他娘插嘴道：“老二，这回来家能住两天？”传武说：“不行啊，我这是顺道回来看看。”文他娘说：“那过两天是你爹生日，你也不回来？”朱开山说：“孩子是军务在身，我过生日算什么？”文他娘说：“老二，今晚你就别走了，不能老把秀儿一个人扔在家里。”传武说：“娘，待会儿我就得带弟兄们往军营赶，哪能住家里呀！”文他娘说：“就差一晚上吗？叫那几个弟兄先去呗！”朱开山说：“老二刚刚提升团长，有没上任先住家里的道理吗？这遭他驻防哈尔滨了，哪天回家不行？”秀儿听见，知趣地收了碗筷出去。文他娘见了，更不高兴，说：“老二夫妻的事就不是正经事？装什么王公大臣的脸子！”说完出去安慰秀儿。 朱开山说：“老二，爹盼着早点儿和日本干一仗啊，把小鬼子的膏药旗从咱中国的地面上拔干净！”传武说：“爹，是中国人都会这么想。可是打仗不光是军队的事啊！也不光是两个国家的事，牵扯的方面多着呢！”朱开山满意地看了看传武说：“好啊，老二长学问了。” 陪爹说了会子话，传武踌躇了一会儿，还是回到自己房。秀儿正坐在床头上发愣，见传武进来，忙站起来，笑道：“来了。”传武点点头，打开手提箱，取出一件旗袍递给秀儿说：“这是少帅夫人送给你的。”秀儿抖开旗袍说：“这么艳哪，叫俺怎么穿？”传武说：“那我也不能带回去啊！”秀儿把旗袍小心叠起来。传武见桌子上有一碗水，秀儿说：“就是给你预备的，凉了吧？”传武笑笑，端起来一饮而尽。 门悄悄开了，生子探头探脑地进来。秀儿说：“进来吧，这就是你二叔。”传武说：“你是生子吧？”生子点点头说：“二叔，你这么吓人呀？”传武一笑说：“怎么了？”生子说：“你眉毛那么黑。二叔，你怎么老不回家呀？”秀儿说：“你二叔不是带兵打仗吗！”生子说：“二叔，二婶可想你了！”秀儿说：“胡说啥，生子。”生子说：“谁胡说了？”他跑到传武身边说：“二叔，我告你个话。”传武配合地弯下腰，生子贴着他身朵，悄声地说：“我小时候，老看二婶放两个枕头睡觉，二婶说，多那个枕头是给你留的。”秀儿说：“生子，说啥呢？快出去玩吧！”生子往外走着，小声嘟囔说：“反正俺没撒谎。” 传武听了生子的话，心内凄然，一时无语。秀儿说：“俺那天看见鲜儿姐了。”传武问：“她说什么了？”秀儿说：“也没说啥，就是告诉俺，到日子别忘了给咱爹过生日。家里和你说了吧？那年，鲜儿姐和大掌柜的可是帮了咱家大忙啊！”传武说：“知道，为了帮咱家，大掌柜的把命都搭上了。他葬在哪儿？”秀儿说：“二龙山，南坡上。”传武点了点头。秀儿又倒了杯茶递给他说：“俺知道，依你的心，俺早该离开这个家，另找个人，可是，俺也为难，一个女人家，进了一扇门，还怎么出去啊？再说，俺也舍不得咱爹咱娘。” 传武心里愈发难受，可是又不知道该说些什么。秀儿叹口气说：“你该走了，弟兄们还等着你呢。”传武摘下军帽，深深地给秀儿鞠了一躬。
