Chapter 20 Chapter Nineteen

In the morning, Dongjun stood at the gate of Sanyuan Dyeing Factory, watching the workers go to work with a serious expression.At this time, Lao Zhou from the tea house came running from the factory and said to Dong Jun, "The shopkeeper, shopkeeper Chen, has called." "Oh?" Saying that, he immediately followed Lao Zhou to the office. At this time, Dongchu came to the gate of the factory and got off his bicycle.When he saw that his eldest brother was not standing there, he was somewhat puzzled, so he looked around.The concierge came up and said, "The third shopkeeper, the big shopkeeper has gone to answer the phone. It's from shopkeeper Chen." Dong Chu nodded, got on his car and entered the factory.

Dong Jun answered the phone: "Sixth Brother——" Shouting's voice came from the phone: "I said you've been stuck at the door like a jujube stake all day long, and you don't know what you're doing! I've taken care of the business in Shanghai. Return the 40% of his mother, Shit!" Dong Chu came out of the office. As soon as he walked to Dong Jun's door, he heard Dong Jun's desk being smashed, and Dong Chu was startled.He heard Dongjun say: "Okay! Shouting, I'll be there in a while. You've done a great job this time. The Liuhe Dyeing Factory has been hollowed out by you. Ha..."

Dongchu came in: "Brother Six's phone number?" Dong Jun put down the phone and sat on the chair comfortably: "This Chen Liuzi is really talented. The technicians he recruited from Shanghai arrived together last night, a total of thirteen. Among them are the three youngest from Liuhe Dyeing Factory. All right. That's right, his brain is fast, and he can do everything this time." Dong Chu smiled: "I knew that Lin Xiangrong was not the opponent of Sixth Brother, so I provoked him in advance, saying that Lin Xiangrong is very arrogant. I know that Sixth Brother's temper can't tolerate such a thing, and it must be a disaster to go to Shanghai. Vicious fight. Now it’s over, Lin Xiangrong’s majesty should be unstoppable! He even got a table of foreigners to accompany me to eat! Hmph, I can’t even deal with an illiterate, I really don’t know the heights of heaven and earth!”

Dong Jun smiled: "Third son, this guy surnamed Lin just doesn't know people, so he left the six sons to sit in the waiting room for two days. With his brain, he didn't come up with any ideas in the past two days? Hmph, Lin Xiangrong absolutely did not expect Chen Liuzi to deal with him like this. For a person like Lin Xiangrong, no matter how much money he has, it is useless. I reckon that your sixth brother will not be finished with him." Dong Chu stared: "It's not over yet? Those who bought other people's goods and poached them are all hurt." Dong Jun smiled: "This is fur. Lin's family in Shanghai has a copper gang and an iron bottom. Let alone a few hundred thousand, it's okay to double it. As for the mechanics being poached, it's nothing. In Shanghai, it's hard to find such a worker. It's not difficult. It's really impossible to hire foreigners!"

Dong Chu said: "Sixth brother said yesterday that as long as the surname Lin comes to Jinan to make an apology, the 8,000 pieces of cloth will be returned to him." Dong Jun shook his head: "I believe that the six sons will return his cloth. However, I don't believe that Lin will drop the price. This is the big problem of the rich family's children. This is the reason why they can't be rich for three generations." Dong Chu nodded: "That's right, Lin Xiangrong is like that. A businessman as big as Mr. Lin knows everything, but he just can't see his child's faults. Sigh!"

Dong Jun said: "You're not right. Mr. Lin just saw his son's faults, so he let him practice. But this opponent is too powerful, one move will kill him. Third, you know Lin Xiangrong Why do you dare to let the six sons bring back eight thousand pieces of cloth?" Dong Chu shook his head. Dong Jun said: "His father and brother Miao are very good friends, and they are also chess friends. When they arrived in Shanghai, the two of them would fight like hell. He knew that as long as brother Miao said something, your sixth brother would have to send the cloth back, so I have nothing to worry about. However, I guess that Mr. Lin can't come forward in this matter, he has to force his son to deal with this situation. Brother Miao said, Mr. Lin is very knowledgeable, not ordinary knowledge."

Dong Chu smiled: "It doesn't matter if his father doesn't talk about it, but it will make Brother Miao laugh. Brother Miao will definitely not pressure Brother Six to send Bu back to Shanghai. Big Brother, Brother Six is ​​quite loyal, and he still thinks about recruiting people in Shanghai we." Dong Jun smiled wryly: "Third brother, it's not all like this. There are very few such skilled workers in China, and they can almost be counted. The more people he recruits, the greater the blow to Shanghai. He is Kill two birds with one stone, vent your anger and hit your opponent, and also give us a favor." He glanced at Dong Chu and warned, "Third brother, your sixth brother and Lin Xiangrong fell out, we can't fight with him. The one surnamed Lin This end cannot be broken. After all, Shanghai is the largest commercial port in China, and the cloth of Liuhe Textile is also very important to us, and it may save lives in the future. Remember what the predecessors said, "A fool can serve the wise, and a weak man can follow the strong." And There is no harm to us in seeing Lin Xiangrong. Wait a while, I will go to Hongju to pick a mechanic. In fact, there is no need to pick. If you are good, let Xiaoliu stay by yourself. You should send a telegram to Lin immediately, saying that we have persuaded him Shouting, ask someone surnamed Lin to come, and Shouting agrees to return his cloth."

Dongchu said: "Brother, Sixth Brother said that you don't need to worry about Bu. He has already set up an ambush. He said that as soon as the cloth on Tengjing's side is cut off, Shanghai Bu will come again. Let us rest assured." Dong Jun was startled: "Oh? He didn't say who he found in Shanghai?" Dong Chu shook his head: "Brother Six's mouth is very strict, so I didn't ask further." Dongjun nodded: "Okay, you go. Prepare the car, I'll go to Hongju. You send someone to send a telegram." Dong Chu didn't leave. Seeing that Dong Jun was happy, he said with a playful smile, "Brother, your younger siblings went to the National Jiangxi Congress on a bicycle. Brother, I think I'll let her go. It's not a big deal."

Dong Jun smiled: "Third brother, you are in your early forties, and there are some things I can't control. You are not afraid that she will be ashamed of riding a bicycle, I... Sigh!" Dong Jun grabbed the black wool top hat and sighed Angrily left the office and left Dong Chu there. In Concubine Ye Ming's love story hall, after Yuan Yi finished dressing, she shouted loudly: "Shunzi!" Sunja is a neat young man with a shaved head, mainly doing rough work here.At this time, he was pouring water into the tank in the backyard. When he heard the call, he let go of the shackle and ran upstairs with a thud.

My aunt was sitting there drinking tea with an unhappy expression on her face.She watched Shunzi run up, with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but snorted softly. Shunzi came up and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?" Yuan Yi said: "You go to my sixth brother's place and ask him to come in the afternoon. Remember, you must!" Shunzi asked: "Okay, Miss. What time do you want shopkeeper Chen to come?" Yuan Yi was a little annoyed: "Shunzi, that's my brother, what else do you care about?" Shunzi smirked shamelessly, and led the order to run downstairs.

The aunt came up and said coldly: "You can just make a phone call, and use Shunzi to make another trip?" Yuan Yi is even colder: "You can't talk about big things on the phone." Auntie pulled Yuan Yi to sit down: "Yuan Yi, it's not easy for us to be as good as we are now, you can't have a brother, and no one will disappear!" Yuan Yi looked directly at his aunt: "Auntie, there are some things that my sixth sister-in-law told you on the phone that day, so I won't repeat them. I don't want a cent of our money. That's enough. Sixth Brother is going to Shanghai, and I'm here to tell you that we won't see any more guests. If you think you don't have enough money, I can ask Sixth Brother to give you some more. Today, Sixth Brother is here and has something important to discuss. I'm not in the mood right now. Auntie, I've already taken a wrong step, and I'm already regretting it. General Huo Changhe will be coming to Jinan soon, so I can't open this door to pick him up, can I?" The aunt wiped her tears: "Son, you don't know that men are ruthless. General Huo knows that you have fallen into prostitution, and you still expect to be reunited after a broken mirror? My child, my aunt is from here. Back then, the councilor of the Beiyang government and I also swore to each other. What happened in the end? Child , Listen to me, it’s better to earn some money while you’re young. Like you, it’s not too late to marry after thirty.” Yuan Yi said quietly: "Auntie, you have never been officially married, so I don't know what it feels like. It's home, and we treat each other sincerely. I have lived with my sister-in-law for three days, and I understand There are many things. As for whether Huo Changhe despises me, that is his business. But I, from now on, will clean myself up. I would rather beg for food for the rest of my life, and be innocent, this is my personality. " The aunt looked up to the sky and sighed: "You idiot, I wasted all my hard work!" Yuanyi stood up, walked to the window, and stared into the distance coldly. Shouting and Dongjun stood in front of the printing machine, the machine whizzed and the printed cloth was printed out quickly.Shouting is happy, Dongjun is both happy and envious.Those technicians who didn't get on the plane followed, obviously Shouting picked the rest.They all looked at Dongjun, hoping to see their employment path from Dongjun's expression. The technicians who were operating the machine were smiling, busy and active, and even turned around to say hello to Shouting Dongjun when they found time. Shouting called Jin Biao over. The machine was very loud. He yelled loudly to let the technicians hear: "You, go to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang restaurants in the commercial port to order meals, and let them deliver the meals every day. From now on, let him deliver them every morning." People come to ask, what the master wants to eat, I will cook for them. Tell them, what we want is authentic Shanghai local dishes, not those messy things." Jin Biao promised loudly: "Got it, Shanghai local cuisine." After speaking, he walked quickly. The technicians who were not on the plane were talking in low voices.The few people who got on the machine really couldn't show anything, so they wiped the machine vigorously with a wrapping cloth. Shouting Dongjun and the others walked side by side to the outside of the workshop, and when they got outside, the noise stopped. Dong Jun said: "Sixth brother, you are really willing to spend money. Your money is spent wisely, better than me." Shouting said: "Brother Dong Jun, the water has its source and the tree has its roots. There is no one who gave us his life for no reason. Some of this money is wronged money, but most of it is not wronged money. At the beginning, I thought that I would sell Dahua in the next year. , During the Chinese New Year, I gave each worker 20 oceans. How could I leave Tengjing an empty factory!" Dongjun smiled: "You, you are a thief selected from among the thieves! Whoever provokes you, you will punish him. I didn't provoke you, even if I provoke you, you have to tell me first when you disturb me. " "If I tell you, can it still be done?" They came downstairs to the office. Dong Jun said: "Don't get angry with that surnamed Lin. I asked Dong Chu to send him a telegram. If he really comes, return the cloth to him!" Shouting lit a cigarette: "There is no problem at all. Don't say he is coming, as long as he sends a telegram, I will let him transport the original car back. The car has not been unloaded yet. The person surnamed Lin is also a classmate of the third child. He Dad and Brother Miao are old friends again. I told Brother Miao about this as soon as I came back. Brother Miao said loudly that the business was done well, but the business can’t be joked. But I can’t do it too badly. I want to let He knows who I am, Chen Liuzi, and has no intention of corrupting him. Don't worry about this, I will handle it." Dong Jun said: "Your printed cloth is also printed. I will bring these technicians back, and I can start the machine on the same day. The next step is to discuss the price. First of all, we can't stand up. What do you think?" Shouting said: "Okay, let's figure out the cost first. We both have two machines. If these four machines are fully activated, the output will be quite large! Brother Dong Jun, but after looking at it for the past two days, With poppies here to compare, our price may not be able to go up. It seems that we can't make money now, let alone make money, maybe we have to pay some money." Dong Jun said: "Yeah, let's just start, let's make some losses!" Shouting said: "Whether Tianjin is open as a port or Shanghai Liuhe is good, in order to save money, they have been using the few sets of printing plates brought with the machine all these years. This is not good. I am in Shanghai, and I also went to the market to transfer For a circle, Liuhe is better than Kaibu. Kaibu has six sets, and Liuhe has eight sets. With such a large output, if only those few sets are used, wouldn’t the whole of China’s calico be the same? Cloth is cloth with different designs and colors. I told Jia Kui yesterday that he would find a German to design a few sets for us. We will discuss and discuss it with the Germans. Let's give him a new one." Dong Jun nodded: "That will cost a lot of money?" Shouting said: "Brother Dong Jun, everyone is printed cloth, why did they buy ours? We have a new look. I think it over, I will give him a new pattern every year. I will fight with Lin Xiangrong. Can't do it." Dong Jun said: "Sixth brother, the Japanese gray cloth is getting more and more out of order. Now we have those barn cloths, and we still don't feel uncomfortable. But this Zi's family will start construction soon. If Teng Jing wants to Squeeze us, control our gray cloth, Liuhe Textile is very important to us. If we get too involved with him, the next step will be a disaster!" Shouting smiled, and took Dongjun's hand: "Let's go to the office and have a pot of tea. Brother Dongjun, the combination of Sanyuan and Hongju is among the top ten in China. Such a large factory is said to be in the market. , those weavers can’t come to give gifts? What about the fucking Liuhe Textiles! I transferred three or four textile factories in Shanghai, and there was a newspaper shop. Brother, those up-and-coming textile factories in Shanghai are all made of German high-speed shuttle looms. They can weave whatever cloth we want. Return the damn Teng Jing, we are trying to make him cheap, this old bastard only needs one It’s a trick, let’s stop buying immediately. Zi’s family, huh, dog, because a wall kills people. Look, I will let him beg for food in the next life! Even if he begs for food, he dare not ask for it in Jinan! It’s so pissed off Me!" The two went up the stairs to the office. Shouting's yard is very quiet.This is a courtyard house with blue bricks and tiles, a base of blue stone, and a plane tree on the left and right sides of the courtyard. In the north room, Mrs. Dongjun was talking to Caiqin.In this room is the Eight Immortals Table as a backing table, the furnishings are simple and practical.On both sides of the lobby there is a locked wall hall (that is, the inner room, but it can also be entered from the outside), and the only thing brought by Qingdao's family is the middle hall.Mrs. Dongjun sat on the upper chair, and Caiqin pulled a stool and sat in front of Mrs. Zhao. The two seemed very close. Mrs. Zhao took Caiqin's hand: "Sister, early this morning, those two children kowtowed when they came in, and your cousin was also crying, and I couldn't help it. Sigh, this Zi Wenhai is really a fucking thing." Sister, tell me, such a person should be punished, right?" Caiqin said: "Retribution? Little Liuzi heard what the third child said about this, and came back so angry that he didn't eat, drank a sip of wine, and scolded him. Sister-in-law, I don't think anyone else is needed. Little Liuzi can't break up with him. I To persuade him, he stared and almost scolded me." Mrs. Zhao further said: "Sister, you don't know that the land that Zi's family plans to open a dyeing factory was also obtained through a lawsuit. They couldn't give him the money, so they finally gave him the land. I think this The family will not be well." Caiqin was puzzled: "The other day when Zi Wenhai came to our house, I looked at him with a straight face, he didn't look like a bad guy!" Mrs. Zhao clapped Caiqin's hand: "Sister, people can't be judged by their appearance! Not only Zi Wenhai, but his son you haven't seen, he looks decent, he's more energetic than Jiaju, but he just doesn't care about people!" Lao Kong and Mrs. Zhao's coachman Da Lao Li were sitting in the yard talking, basking in the sun, and they got along very well. Mrs. Zhao said: "A widow with two children, when is she a leader! If that son grows up, can Zi Wenhai be spared? I still don't believe it." Caiqin stood up and shouted towards the yard: "Old Kong, call Big Old Li to come in!" The two came in: "Madam, what's the matter?" Caiqin took out ten yuan and handed it to Lao Kong: "Follow the big old Li to identify the door, and send the ten yuan to the widow of the Zhang family. The master has ordered it several times. You go to the South Room I put a bag of noodles in the car and took it away. Tell Zhang's family that there is no need to thank them. If the master sees the two children, he will be angry and sad. Go, Zhang's family lives on Qianjie. Mama Kong , you look for those clothes that Fuqing is wearing too small, and send them to her tomorrow. This matter is done, and the master will praise you when he comes back. Hurry up. Both of you, give a cigarette to each of you, and it will be considered as travel expenses." The two took the cigarettes and went out with a smile. Mrs. Zhao said: "Sister, no need, Jianyue from our factory will give her money. Your cousin said that this is also learned from Shouting." Caiqin sat back in her seat: "Sister-in-law, if you get ten yuan, you can eat for several months. If you don't know, let's just spend two dollars. Xiaoliuzi also said it several times. Come back today and hear that I have done this, you must be happy." Kong Ma came over to refill tea again. "Sister-in-law, if we do a good job in our business, it is God who will help us; if we do not do well, I will not complain to anyone. We did not do bad things, and it is not God's retribution for us. My father often said that if we did not do well at the beginning, we would accept the younger brother. Six sons, how can we have such good looks? The Miao family may not know about this, but if sister-in-law Miao knows, she will have to give away two sons." Mrs. Zhao nodded: "Well, that's the case. Let's try to calm down! Sister, I remembered what you said about the Miao family. When I came out in the morning, I saw the third family going out, riding a rickshaw gone." Caiqin persuaded her: "You too, what are you afraid of riding a foreign bike? Dongchu's family is a new-style figure, and we are not on the same side. Don't be so idle, she can ride as long as she wants. We don't like other people's riding bikes, People still look down on us riding donkeys in the countryside!" Mrs. Zhao put away the expression on her face: "You don't know that the third family is the daughter-in-law of Xue Miao's sister-in-law. Na Yazhi came back from studying in the UK and is only in her twenties. What is the third family? A junior high school graduate Student! She’s in her thirties! Didn’t you see her, girl, she’s tall and fat, and she’s covered her buttocks in those uniform pants. It's held up by an iron rod! There's no one on the street who doesn't want to watch. This third child, she'll follow her in everything." Caiqin jokingly said: "Sister-in-law, don't look pleasing to your eyes, isn't it just riding a rickshaw? She rides, and we ride too." The two laughed.Mrs. Zhao pretended to call Caiqin. Mama Kong packed Fuqing's old clothes in the west room. After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Mrs. Zhao said cautiously: "Sister, that Miss Shen that Shouting knew, is it okay? You didn't call me that day, and you didn't try to meet me. Your cousin came back and said that she is really beautiful." Ah! Although this Shouting is well-informed and righteous, he can't stand it anymore and always shakes in front of him. Don't shake it twice, Shouting will be tempted again." Caiqin said: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to stop this matter. Even if you stop, you can't stop it. Shouting went to Shanghai, and Ms. Shen came to play at home for three days. Alas, she is also a miserable person, and she cried as she talked. Her aunt, alas! It made me cry along with her. Shouting was drunk at the opening, and Miss Shen sent him back. I took a quick look and felt a little silly. Brother Mi and sister, there is someone outside! When he sobers up, I persuade him from the side to take Miss Shen away—" Caiqin pointed at the door, "Didn't you see that the glass is new? Before I finished speaking, he picked up the teapot and smashed the glass, saying that I had underestimated him, and was so angry that I shed tears, scaring me to pay him for the whole night." Mrs. Zhao said: "Well, your cousin also said it doesn't matter! Tell me, Aunt Xiong, why can't she do this, she must force her niece and daughter to do this." "Sister-in-law, we are a full man. I don't know if a hungry man is hungry! Her aunt is the only one who talks about big drum books. She hasn't been on the scene for many years. What can she do if she doesn't do this? I called her the other day, and the more I talked, the more angry I was. Let me make fun of her!" Mrs. Zhao hurriedly asked: "How do you say it? Tell me quickly." Caiqin said coldly: "Talking too much! I said all the last words, and asked her to offer a price, and I ransom Yuan Yi. Of course, Yuan Yi didn't buy it. Sister-in-law, this is Auntie! I'm so angry!" Shouting brought Yuan Yi a cake from Shanghai Guanshengyuan, and he sat there watching Yuan Yi eat it with loving eyes.Yuan Yi laughed while eating, and sucked his finger like a child. "It's delicious." Yuan Yi took the towel and wiped his hands. Shouting took out a purple velvet jewelry box from his waist, Yuan Yi opened it, it was a watch.Yuan Yi took off the original watch and put on the Xin Kun watch, very happy: "It's very beautiful. Sixth brother, this Longines watch is very expensive, I will wear it all my life." Shouting smiled: "Put it on. I don't know anything about pianos, so I just picked up the most expensive ones. After returning, Jia Kui said, there are better things than this. It's just that I'm a countryman, and I'm a little dumbfounded when I go to the city. Not in the right place." Yuan Yi laughed at him: "You didn't buy one for Sister-in-law Six?" Shouting smiled and said, "Who is this? What kind of dress do you need? When I was in Qingdao, I bought one for her, but she never wore it. What your sixth sister-in-law said is more interesting-it's not as good as that clock. Be clear!" Yuan Yi said: "Sister-in-law Six is ​​so kind, I sat there talking with her, and she never let go of my hand every day." Shouting smiled: "She was the only one in her family since she was a child, and she was very happy to have a girl. I am in Shanghai these days, and when I think of having a girl, I can't help liking it. A woman named Lin in Shanghai You bastard, you made me so angry, but when I think of our girls, I think those are nothing." Yuan Yi hurriedly asked: "Who made my sixth brother angry?" Shouting said indifferently: "A kid who doesn't know that the head is light and the egg is heavy. Bah! Look at my mouth, I can speak foul language in front of my sister." Downstairs, my aunt guarded a dozen bolts of silk and satin, she was very happy, she looked at this kind, looked at that kind, and compared herself: "This shopkeeper Chen is really an expert, I have also been to Suzhou and Hangzhou, but I didn't find it. This kind of thing. You look at people's eyesight." The servants followed suit. My aunt took another gold necklace and looked at it. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful she felt: "This week Zhousheng (the largest gold store in Shanghai during the Republic of China)'s gold products are very good! Not only the style is good. Have you seen it? This is the real American necklace. Zijin, there is no impurity at all. This shopkeeper Chen is really a person who has seen the world, and he buys things like a real person." He put it on his neck, turned around to look in the mirror, and looked at the front and side, very happy.Then joy turned to sorrow: "Back when Tan Xinpei came to Jinan to perform, I went to fill the stage. It was really borrowing clothes from everywhere. At the beginning, the outfit was not good. Jinan is also a small place, and no one favors it. If it was in Beijing, it would have been popular long ago. .” The servants probably heard such regretful memories several times, so their reactions were not strong. After she put down the presents, she said to a girl: "Fengzi, go up and ask shopkeeper Chen if he's here for dinner. If so, we'll be ready." Fengzi is Yuanyi's girl, she said: "Just now I went up to collect the cakes, but the miss told me not to disturb you." My aunt looked at the watch on the wall: "Look, shopkeeper Chen won't come down at five o'clock, so tell Yan Xitang to deliver food. But we don't know what shopkeeper Chen likes to eat?" Fengzi said, "Tofu, I heard him talk about it the other day." The aunt laughed: "Nonsense, can such a big businessman eat tofu?" Fengzi lowered his head to tidy up the silk and satin, but didn't dare to say anything more to the tofu. Upstairs, Yuan Yi said: "Sixth brother, Changhe, oh, that army commander is coming." He lowered his head and played with the tablecloth. Shouting was happy: "Okay, I'll invite him. Sister, your sixth sister-in-law has already mentioned the specific tricks. There is nothing we can do in this line of work. As long as he doesn't talk about anything else, in my opinion, just follow him. I am relieved that you can have such a decent place to go. Wives and concubines are all getting along well, so don’t worry about those who don’t need you, huh?” Yuan Yi shook his head, looked out the window, turned around and smiled wryly: "Brother Six, you don't understand the new style of relationship, it's not as simple as you think." When Shouting heard this, he stared deliberately: "Sister, you are wrong. I have known your sixth sister-in-law since fifteenth, and I live in her house. Jia Kui said that this is a formal new-style love, why don't I?" Understand? A man is afraid that you don’t have him in your heart. The army commander is here, and I told him.” Yuan Yi said quietly: "Sixth brother, he is not you, he is now a proud young general, very favored. Let's not talk about that. I called you here, Sixth brother, to find you a business." "Why did you come out to buy and sell?" Shouting was a little annoyed. "Sixth brother, Changhe is the chief of the military supply department of the Ministry of National Defense, an organization that is in charge of spending money. This time he came to Shandong to purchase quilts for the Central Army. Isn't it just right that you run a dyeing factory? I asked him to give you more money." Shouting's face was pulled down: "Sister, this matter can't be done. I don't do business with the government, and I can't let you do business for me. I can't explain why, but I just feel awkward." Yuan Yi lowered his head and said slowly: "Sixth Brother, are you afraid that others will say that you made your fortune from prostitutes?" Shouting's eyes immediately widened, Yuan Yi was terrified.Shouting said loudly: "Anyone who dares to say that you are a prostitute, I will kill him! I have already decided on this matter. We will be good today. We are not short of food or clothing. It cannot be said that we are forced by life. We in Qingdao My house hasn’t been sold yet, take your aunt, go to Qingdao, stop for a year or two, find a decent family to marry, don’t do this business anymore! I’m in Shanghai, when I think of you in this place, I’ll accompany you If you talk to these thieves, you wish you could use a machine gun to kill those men. Congliang, this is the right way." Yuan Yi nodded, and said to herself: "Yes, it's time to get better!" She turned her face to the window again. Shouting was happy: "That's right. Food, clothing and dowry are all mine. When you get married, we will have a lot of fun. As long as you want, we can rent a plane and go around the sky." Yuan Yi was moved by that beautiful scene, she nodded slowly, then lowered her head slowly, tears streaming down, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped it.Shouting was very puzzled: "Sister, we spoke well, why are you crying? Which sentence did I say wrong?" Yuan Yi shook his head. "You still can't let go of the army commander? Hey, talk! I'm so anxious!" Yuan Yi said: "No. Sixth brother, no one has ever persuaded me to be a good man, not even my own aunt." Shouting said: "Your aunt? I will go down in a while and give her an explanation for the rest of her life. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. Hey, don't cry. When you cry, I feel uncomfortable. We were There is no way, so I stepped on this mud. Whether we follow the commander or not, we can't do this anymore. I won't let you do it. You are my sister, so I can be the master. We I will close this door today. I will give her whatever your aunt wants, and I will take it away for her retirement. Sister, this life is very short. I think it’s not far away when I think of begging for food, but both It's been more than ten years. Women age faster. You can't always be this handsome. Listen to brother, let's see what the army commander said first. He doesn't forget the old love, so let's go with him, and I will recognize this Brother-in-law. If he makes irresponsible remarks, go to hell and give him back as a general who is a foreign student! That Xiang Yu is an old man, and he has never studied abroad, but he is "besieged on all sides by the bank of the Wujiang River, but what a day the black scorpion draws a halberd". They are all Han Xin's soldiers, and they will die immediately. He has not left Yu Ji and escaped by himself! It is good for him to escape from the city by himself, and he will not bring us with him. Sister, I may not be able to say this directly when I see him, but I have to tell him that this is his fault. A man is a man, love is more important than life. Here is your sweetheart, oh, when the Japanese fired a gun, you were so scared that you forgot everything? You gave me that day What are you talking about? Oh, eachother, yes, it’s eachother, sister, he forgot it first, not us, so don’t act like you’re being unreasonable.” Shouting gasped for breath, “Fuck it back 'The more complex the terrain, the greater the ability', Shenyang City is on flat land, the terrain is not complicated at all, you can run so fast, if the terrain is more complicated, let you use your skills, you can't run faster! Kill me!" Yuan Yi was afraid that Shouting would continue to slander his sweetheart, so he put his hand on his hand: "Brother Six, that is a military order, he has to obey it!" Shouting was in a fit of anger and was about to further attack the general of the Northeast Army, but seeing Yuan Yi's displeasure, he said: "You are useless enough, and you are not happy when I say a few words to him. You are better, always thinking about it." We are wrong. Sister, we don’t owe him anything. You just said that you still want me to do business with him? Sister, this is not okay, I can’t do it. " Yuan Yi shook his leg: "Sixth brother, I listen to you. I have already sent a telegram and said that this business is for you to do, so you can take it, huh?" Shouting was very anxious: "Hey, sister, our business is very good now. The cloth dyed by your sixth brother will not fade after washing. Now we sell as much as we dye. Those two 20-foot printing machines are also very good. Hurrah, the printed flowers are also very good. Sister, think about it, if I take this business, you owe the commander of the army. We don’t owe such a debt! Sister, there is no need, listen to me Yes, we won't do it." Yuanyi stood up, and Shouting followed suit.She leaned her face against Shouting's chest: "Brother..." She sobbed, crying so sadly. Dongjun is reading a newspaper in the office of Sanyuan Dyeing Factory.Dong Chu came in with a telegram: "Brother, it's a big deal!" Dong Jun stood up in surprise: "Oh? What deal?" "Lin Xiangrong sent a telegram. He didn't mention Sixth Brother at all. He said that the Central Army was going to purchase quilts in Shandong and sent a major general. He has already made an agreement with the other party to try to let us do this business." Dong Jun lost all joy, and sat back again: "How much does he want?" Dong Chu said: "Five percent, oh, five points. A total of 300,000 horses, or more than 18,000 pieces." Dongjun snorted disdainfully: "He wants five points? Humph!" Dong Chu was puzzled: "Brother, you don't want to do it?" Dong Jun smiled: "Third brother, you are aware of the government's corruption. The specific handler has to get at least 10% of it. In addition to the large quantity, the price he gave must be very low. There is no way to do this. Give him a reply." Telegram, just say thank you, so that you don't have to work in vain." Dong Chu's excitement also subsided, and he took the thermos to make tea.After he sat down, he said, "Hey, brother, there is something I don't understand. In the past, the Central Army purchased quilts in Shanghai and Nanjing. Why did they come to Shandong now? This is a bit strange." Dong Jun smiled: "There is nothing strange about this. After the fall of the Northeast, the people were very dissatisfied with the government's corruption. The price of cloth in Shanghai and Nanjing was high, and it was controlled by the government and businessmen, cutting corners and materials. The government dared not do that anymore. Hmph, I see this It’s just superficial stuff, and it might end up being more expensive than the south.” Dongchu understood: "I returned him?" Dong Jun said: "If you come back, you will come back, the tone must be tactful." Outside the Shandong Hotel, four guards stood on a high platform with guns, and a car was parked in front of the door.Passers-by watched from a distance, but no one dared to stop. Across the road, there is a cake seller, lit a dry battery lamp.At night, the street is very deserted. Inside the hotel, at the door of the suite, two guards guarded with guns.There are mobile sentries in the corridor.A lieutenant sat at a table and reminded the walking sentry: "Walk softly and don't make any noise." On the bed in the bedroom of the suite, Yuan Yi snuggled up to Changhe's chest.They were dressed in silver-gray satin pajamas.Changhe is in his thirties, handsome and handsome, with delicate features.He stroked Yuanyi's head and sighed unceasingly. Changhe said: "Brother Six is ​​really happy to talk. He is a good person, but he is different from ordinary businessmen." Yuan Yi still cuddled like that, and said softly: "Really?" Changhe said: "Brother Six speaks very logically, and he is right. Our relationship has not changed. It is the Japanese devils who made trouble for us. After thinking about it, this is really the case. If the Japanese did not attack Shenyang , Aren’t we doing well now? Damn it, when I mention the Japanese devils, my teeth ache from hatred. I really don’t know what the chairman thinks, but he just refuses to fight. Sigh!” Yuan Yi raised his hand to touch his face: "Let's not talk about those unhappy things today." Changhe hummed: "Yuanyi, I don't think it's possible for you to say that Sixth Brother is illiterate! He told so many stories, and he told them all in a coherent way. He said he heard it from the books. It's incredible." Yuan Yi said: "Although Sixth Brother is illiterate, he is very knowledgeable. Think about it, an illiterate person can do such a big business without knowledge." Changhe said: "Well, that's it. Yuanyi, you talked about business, I gave him an order, told him the price, and he also looked at the fabric samples, but I don't think he is interested in this business .If it were another businessman, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep all night when he heard about such a big deal? But I think he is very cold." Yuanyi didn't move, just said softly: "Maybe the price is lower, he knows our relationship, so it's inconvenient to talk about it." Changhe thought about it and said, "It's not cheap, it's a 10% discount from Shanghai's price. Before I came to Shandong, I asked the managers of six dyeing factories in Shanghai about this matter, and they all rushed to do it. Hey, now that you said it, I remembered, did Sixth Brother offend a man named Lin Xiangrong in Shanghai?" Yuan Yi raised his head: "It's not that Sixth Brother offended him, it was his subordinates who regarded Sixth Brother as a beggar. Sixth Brother didn't accept this, and cheated him into buying 8,000 pieces of cloth at a price of one yuan each..." Changhe smiled: "Sixth brother is really scheming! No wonder, when I came, the surname Lin specifically asked me not to let me do this business with sixth brother. I didn't know this paragraph at the time, and I didn't take it to heart. .” Yuan Yi asked: "Do you care about him?" Changhe smiled contemptuously: "I don't care about anyone except the Chairman." Yuan Yi said softly: "Changhe, if Brother Six hadn't saved me, I would have froze to death at the seaside that day. He saved my life, Changhe, you can add one yuan to each piece of cloth, okay?" ?” Changhe got out of bed to light a cigarette, Yuan Yi also came down, sat on the edge of the bed and supported his leg, watching Changhe smoke. “我就愿意看你抽烟的样子。这些年我想你想得太厉害了，越想你的样子越模糊，就是你抽烟的样子我忘不了。”说罢低下头去。 长鹤感谢加感伤地苦笑一下：“我也是，越想你越记不清你的样子。好在我的皮夹里有一张照片，没人时我就拿出来看。那次让委员长看到了，他也拿过去看了，还夸你漂亮呢！” 远宜笑了：“那是因为委员长喜欢你，所以才这样说的。” 长鹤攥住远宜的手，不禁长叹一声。 远宜说：“我刚才说给六哥加一块钱，你还没回答我呢。”说着努起小嘴，露出甜甜的怨意。 长鹤想了想：“这不妥吧。” 远宜抬着眼睛：“你怕别人说你吗？” 长鹤说：“不是，我是怕让委员长失望。远宜，自我上任以来，没贪污过一分钱。我调国防部，委员长给了我三百两黄金，我也退了回去——尽管后来还是收下了。我是怕别人说布价高，让委员长知道了……” 远宜挑衅地说：“你是怕那姓林的知道你和六哥做生意？怕他背后说你坏话？”远宜的声音很柔。 长鹤略微有点急：“我说过了，我谁也不怕。姓林的是一个很小的小人物。我是想，六哥可能不是为了价钱。” 远宜说：“生意人就是为了挣钱，不为了价钱还能为什么？” 长鹤说：“价钱真不低，我自己主持的询问会……” 远宜说：“你说加不加嘛！”远宜晃他的腿。 长鹤说：“你明天再问问六哥吧。” 远宜低下头，良久无语。长鹤纳闷，问：“你怎么啦？” 远宜并没抬起头来，只是淡淡地说：“长鹤，你非逼着我把真话说出来吗？” 长鹤吃惊：“怎么了？” 远宜说：“加一块钱是我想要。我想，也算见到你了，等钱到手之后，我在离你不远的地方买个房子住下来，这地方只有你知道。你可以来，也可以不来，我只想让你知道，我离你不远。”远宜落泪了。深色的泪掉在浅灰的睡袍上，一颗一颗，十分清晰。 长鹤像被烫了一下似的，把烟一摔，忽地站起来，冲着门口喊：“卫兵！” 卫兵进来，立正。 长鹤冲着外面喊：“叫马副官来！” "yes!" 长鹤气呼呼地穿上军装：“远宜，”他咬牙切齿，“我一生一世就办错了这一件事——出沈阳的时候没带上你！”他冲到外间去了。 远宜在里面听着。长鹤命令道：“你明天早上带上沈小姐，拿上布样去工厂。同时通知南京，让他们在原来预算的基础上再加三十万，山东布贵，让他们派专人送来，越快越好！” “是！”马副官答应后出去，回身轻轻带好门。 长鹤回来了，他气呼呼地点上支烟：“远宜。” 远宜赶紧过来：“你怎么了？我让你为难了？” 长鹤两眼通红：“六哥给我讲的那些故事我全明白了，人家这是在臊我！别说人了，六哥家的公鸡，来了老鹰，公鸡明知是送死，也拼着命去和老鹰斗，保护母鸡小鸡逃跑。我呢？我霍长鹤投笔从戎，志在保家卫国，可我连自己心爱的人都保不了，我这算什么呀！”说着，他的泪掉下来。 远宜偎在他胸前：“何必呢，不哭，长鹤。相互牵挂，劫后重逢，我们应当高兴才是。”她拿过手绢擦长鹤的泪，“不用自责，长鹤，我知道你是迫不得已。'我是那铺满干草的巢，待着你那美丽的翅羽'，每当剩下我一个人的时候，我就默念着你写给我的这首诗。” 长鹤把远宜紧紧地抱住，泪从他刚毅的脸上流下来。 两个残废门房正在说话，一辆军用吉普车在前，一辆黑色轿车在后，飞驰而入，二人吓得往后退了一步，面面相觑，不知道发生了什么事，试试量量地向寿亭的办公小楼前小心地凑。 吉普车上下来四个士兵，持枪向外站立。沈小姐和马副官从车上下来。沈小姐穿着紫色银鼠薄皮斗篷，款款上了寿亭的办公室外的楼梯。 寿亭在车间印花机旁监督生产，吴先生慌慌张张地跑来了。 “掌柜的，可了不得了！来了些当兵的，沈小姐也来了。” “噢？走！” 办公室里，远宜坐在圆桌旁，马副官夹着公文包恭敬站立。寿亭进来，远宜上去抱住他胳膊，拉着他坐下，也让马副官坐。 马副官打开公文夹说：“陈老板，霍处长决定让你置办这批军需，这是布样，一共三十万匹，颜色不能有出入。” 寿亭木讷地接过布样，远宜在一边笑他。 “霍处长说，因为山东布价太贵，决定在昨晚谈过的预算上，再加三十万，款子两天之内就会送来，请陈老板大胆开工。” 寿亭问：“工期多长时间？” 马副官说：“二十天。霍处长说如果时间太紧，也可以拖延三到五天。霍处长不便亲自来，让我问候陈老板，这是他给你的信。” 寿亭接过信就想找老吴，远宜伸手拿过来，说：“马副官，公事说完了，你到楼下等我吧。” 马副官起身立正，寿亭也跟着站起来。他正要出去送，又被沈小姐拉回来：“你坐下吧！” 屋里只剩下他俩。 远宜调皮地说：“六哥，你不是挺厉害吗？这是国防部的命令，不干把你抓起来！” 寿亭笑着说：“妹子，你让我说什么呢？这事你六哥不能干。” 远宜说：“你别说了，就算为了我。你刚才听见了，我让他多给了三十万。你让我从良，我得有嫁妆呀！” “噢——”寿亭恍然大悟，“原来是这样。嗯，好！为了你，我干什么都行。随后告诉我发货地点，二十天，我保证给他染出来。” 远宜像小孩子似的抱着寿亭的胳膊：“给我租飞机，让我上天转一圈！这是你说好的。” 他俩笑了起来。 寿亭说：“刚才家驹来了电话，说是大伙一块儿请俺妹夫吃顿饭。你看行吗？” 远宜说：“本来他要亲自来的，可是让你说得他不好意思了。他说他现在谁都不怕，就怕见你，觉得自己没有脸面。我头一次见他这样自卑。” 寿亭说：“嗨，都不是外人，这怕什么。我看着这人很懂道理，忙完了这一出，跟着人家走吧，啊？” 远宜点点头：“嗯。” 寿亭犹豫着问：“他没问咱别的吧？” 远宜低着头：“所有让我为难的问题，他一句也没问。我很感激他。” 寿亭高兴：“这是汉子！妹子，你可得好好待人家呀！” 远宜点点头：“我会珍惜的。六哥，我要是跟着他走了，可就见不着你了。” 寿亭说：“妹子，你这是出嫁，又不是逃难，回头有了空，我去看你也行，你来济南也行。我也断不了地去上海，到南京下车，看看妹子，那也挺好。” 远宜点点头：“六哥，你可注意身体呀。我看你酒喝得太多，那会伤身体的。我走了，更挂牵你。”说着眼泪掉下来。 寿亭说：“妹子，别掉泪。留着那泪，等我送你的时候再掉。长鹤那狗屁丈人在满洲国当了汉奸官儿，他那老婆也登报和他离了婚，这正好给咱让出空来。这就是那缘！知道吗？我说在济南给你俩办了婚事，长鹤觉得不方便。咱就依了他。到你在南京成亲的时候，我带上济南你这几个哥，一哨人马去南京。我连咱苗哥也请了去。” 远宜拉过寿亭的手，放在脸上：“六哥，我等着。”
