Chapter 39

Wife and children are on the hot bed

Before all the snow on the branches melted, a cold wind blew and fell to the ground.

Cheng Nuo held the peanut in his hands, but he felt a little unable to hold it. Maybe his hands were cold from those words. After trying it for a few times, he gave up: "Old Wu, didn't we just say it well? When it comes time to make a decision, you

The change in attitude is something I didn’t expect.”

Wu Yulin slowly peeled chestnuts for the child in his arms. He lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly: "Old Cheng, if you had come here a few years earlier, I would have followed you without saying a word or even asking for any wages."

"Now that I have Yuzhi and Lily, I can't tolerate anything else in my heart. I just want to live an ordinary life in a down-to-earth manner. If I really go there, I will be a drag on you."

Cheng Nuo was unwilling to give in, thinking that there was no way to live a peaceful life in this world, not to mention the restoration of the braided army that was just around the corner, that is, the little Japan in the future, the mountains and rivers would fall, the country would be destroyed, and the family would be destroyed.

But these words can only make Cheng Nuo swallow in his stomach. The current relationship between the Beiyang government and Japan is so "harmonious", who will believe it if he says it?

Sighing, Cheng Nuo put away his smile: "If I remember correctly, Old Wu, are you from Lu Province?"

"Lu Xi, I plan to go home before the end of the year to celebrate the New Year with the elderly."

"It's time to go home. I might not be so happy to go back to Shandong province after this year."

He was too soft, so he had to be tough. Cheng Nuo deliberately acted carelessly, preparing to anger the other party.

When Wu Yulin heard this, there was indeed a look of anger on his face. He put the child on his lap and raised his eyebrows: "Professor Cheng, I believe there are many ambitious young people in the world. There is no need to curse me like this.

Bar!?"

Cheng Nuo stretched out two fingers calmly: "Old Wu, do you know that there have been two major events recently related to the future of Lu Province."

"Say." Wu Yulin's attitude was slightly slower.

"The first thing is that on the 20th, Cao Rulin, general manager of Bank of Communications, signed a 5 million yuan loan contract with Koya Bank of Japan."

"What's wrong with normal business dealings between banks?"

"But I want to say that this money actually went into the pockets of Duan Qirui, the Beiyang government. What is the specific content of betraying the interests of Shandong Province?"

"There is no basis for what you say. It is a matter of national importance. It would be child's play for me to believe it based on just one family's words."

Once the fish takes the bait, things will get easier later on.

"But combined with the second thing, it's not so easy to explain." Cheng Nuo's eyes were filled with sadness: "Without consulting our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Japanese Foreign Minister summoned the British Ambassador to Japan on the 26th and requested that Germany

The rights and interests of the company are fully transferred to Japan, and the British attitude is very ambiguous, and there is a high probability that they agree."

"Speechless!" Wu Yulin stood up and shouted sternly: "This is definitely just gossip. The huge Jiaodong Peninsula has had enough of the Germans' anger. According to international law, if they are defeated, shouldn't they all be returned to us?

"

"Who are the mere Japanese devils?"

Suddenly, the little girl who was still in his arms was frightened, and her big eyes immediately fell with tears.

Cheng Nuo quickly picked her up and put her in her arms, unpacking the snacks and coaxing the little girl.

"Old Wu, have you forgotten how the Zhengjiatun incident that was published in the newspaper the day before yesterday ended?"

"I"

Seeing that the little girl's mood was stable, Cheng Nuo turned to look at him, hating that iron could never become steel.

"The Fengtian Governor apologized, the commander of the 28th Division was reprimanded, and the officers who participated in the protest were punished. The Japanese people will be treated as honored guests by the government in the future, and even the Japanese who take the initiative to stir up trouble will be given a 500-yuan pension."

"They are greedy in the Northeast. Aren't the Japanese in Shandong Province, who are closer, not greedy?"

On August 13 last year in Zhengjiatun, a Japanese named Yoshimoto Kiyoki beat one of our fish sellers because of a dispute. He happened to be caught by officers and soldiers of the 28th Division. When the kid saw this, he not only refused to give up, but also continued to attack.

Beating officers and soldiers only results in being taught a lesson.

Later, he was still unconvinced and led the Japanese troops to our station to look for trouble. The two armies fought without knowing who fired first. In the end, the battle ended with 5 of our troops dead and 3 injured, while the Japanese troops died of 12 and 5 injured.

.

Logically speaking, we were responsible for the whole thing and won the battle, which is a happy thing no matter how you say it. But some people are weak-minded. Not only was Zhengjiatun occupied, but also a series of unequal treaties were signed, which made the world laughable.

Wu Yulin heard that all the bones in his body were about to be drained, and he slumped down on the chair without saying a word.

He worked for the Beiyang government and knew that with their abilities, these things could be done without asking where the information came from.

"No, it can't be true. What happened in Lu Province can't be true."

"All this is true, and the future will only be more tragic." Cheng Nuo shook his head, with a stern look on his face: "Without the rise of great powers, where would the dignity of small people come from."

"There is nothing wrong with having a wife and children on the hot bed, but there are vicious dogs inside and outside. If you are not careful, a bloody piece will be torn off."

Just at this moment, Wang Yuzhi's voice came from the yard, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Yulin, I've made some more dishes. Come over and serve them."

Wu Yulin apologized and hurried out the door.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Wang Yuzhi coming behind him and quietly closed the door.

"Yulin, did you have a quarrel with Professor Cheng in the main room?"

"Did I scare you because I was too loud? In fact, there was no noise, it was just some disagreements, because"

He still wanted to tell the reason, but Wang Yuzhi pointed his mouth with his index finger.

"I don't want to ask about the affairs between you men." Wang Yuzhi stared at her eyes: "I still remember that when we got married, you liked to have a smile on your face, and you were full of longing for the future when you talked about it. There was still a book you wrote in front of your desk.

motto, do you still remember the content above?"

Wu Yulin did not dare to look directly into those eyes, and his tone was mixed with shame: "A man is born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements."

"But I don't know when you started putting it away."

Wu Yulin looked ashamed.

Wang Yuzhi put her head on his chest and whispered softly: "With the support of Lily and me, our little family is your best shield."

Wu Yulin was moved when he heard this. He raised his head and tried not to let tears fall: "Yuzhi, thank you."

Just when he was still trying to be gentle, Wang Yuzhi suddenly pushed him away: "You didn't make this pork rib soup, right?"

"I did it under the technical guidance of Lao Cheng."

"I knew you didn't have this skill. No one in our family would be able to live without me." Wang Yuzhi changed her petty attitude: "Hurry up and bring the food over, the guests are all impatiently waiting."

"Also, I also teach in a girls' middle school. Be careful, my efforts may not be worse than yours in the future."

Cheng Nuo in the main room was still telling Lily stories with great interest, but little did he know that he had been secretly fed a large bowl of dog food.

Seeing Wu Yulin come in with pork rib soup, his face no longer looked heavy, so he deliberately teased him: "Old Wu, is it because my sister-in-law secretly opened a small stove for you, so you are so happy."

"There are small stoves. This small stove is not that small stove. The universe is hidden inside."

"Hey, tell me about it?"

"I won't tell you, Lao Cheng, you will know when you have a wife."

"Yes, it looks like the conditions are quite high."

The two of them quarreled and cleared the table in a short time. Cheng Nuo was about to go to the toilet again.

Only Wu Yulin and his daughter were left in the main room. At this time, Lily asked innocently: "Dad, what is Xiaozao?"

He gently twisted his daughter's nose and said, "You and mom are my little Zao."

After the meal, Wu Yulin not only agreed to join the Academy of Sciences, but also took the initiative to share the pressure on Cheng Nuo and selected some places to invite separately.

The troops were divided into two groups, and the two continued to achieve new results. More than ten people were invited to join, not including some students who were still studying for Ph.D.s in the United States. The basic organization had taken shape.

But everything was not what Cheng Nuo expected. News of Cao Rulin's loan was revealed, but for some reason he borrowed an extra five hundred thousand.

Squatting in the toilet and reading the newspaper, he was puzzled. After a long time, he finally came up with the only answer, which was:

"My legs are numb!"
