"Old houses that have been unoccupied for a long time will inevitably attract snakes, insects, rats, and ants." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
While teasing Xiao Zhizhi, he asked his wife, "What happened at home these days when I'm not at home?"
"What could be the matter?" Bai Ruolan said, "You are not at home, and the air in the house is fresher than usual."
Cheng Qianfan then laughed, knowing that his wife was mocking him for often returning home with the smell of other women's perfume.
"Haozi, help me to the study." Cheng Qianfan said to Haozi.
"Yes, Brother Fan."
On the other side, Xiao Lizi was sorting out the gifts that the master brought back from Qingdao. When he saw that the master was so reprimanded by his wife that he had to go to the study to hide, he almost burst into laughter.
Even though the master looks majestic and flirtatious outside, at home he is treated obediently by his wife.
…
"Brother Fan." Li Hao helped Brother Fan sit down on the chair, then turned around and closed the door of the study.
"Have Taozi and the others returned safely?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
Although Li Hao drove him back just now, Chu Mingyu sent someone to escort him in the car to help people with mobility impairments, so it was inconvenient for Cheng Qianfan to say many things.
"Back." Li Hao poured a glass of water for Brother Fan and said, "Brothers are back safely. Taozi also brought back Shen Xi and others from Qingdao Station."
Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but frown.
He was not dissatisfied with Taozi's decision to bring Shen Xi and others back to Shanghai without authorization. He fully delegated power to Taozi, and Cheng Qianfan also knew that Shen Xi and others could not stay in Qingdao. Otherwise, sooner or later,
will be caught by the enemy.
"Shen Xi left the photos with the enemy. He is no longer suitable for lurking work." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Taozi thought so too. He sent a telegram to Boss Dai reporting on the successful elimination of the Japanese His Highness, and asked Boss Dai if he could send Shen Xi and others to Chongqing," Li Hao said.
"This is a safe solution." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "What did Boss Dai say?"
"Chongqing called back and asked us to send someone to escort Shen Xi and others to Bacheng, Kunshan." Li Hao said, "Let Shen Xi and others join the Diao Jiajian Branch of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army."
Cheng Qianfan raised his eyebrows. From Dai Chunfeng's perspective, Dai Chunfeng's arrangement was more reasonable. Shen Xi had been exposed and was no longer suitable for lurking tasks. However, he was a very good telecommunications talent, and following Shen Xi
The former Qingdao station personnel who came to Shanghai from Qingdao have also been tested. Rather than letting these people travel across mountains and rivers and risk their lives to return to Chongqing, it is better to arrange for them to join the Loyalty and National Salvation Army nearby.
"It's not convenient for me to see Taozi now. Please tell Taozi to immediately arrange for someone to send Shen Xi and others to Bacheng." Cheng Qianfan said, "Li Cuiqun and others have returned to Shanghai. It is too dangerous for Shen Xi to stay in Shanghai.
"
"yes!"
…
February 1st.
The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Little year.
Bai Ruolan pushed the wheelchair, Cheng Qianfan held Xiaozhizhi in his arms, and Xiaobao jumped beside him. The family of four took a walk on Lafayette Road to soak up the sun.
Neighbors passed by from time to time along the way, and they couldn't help but come over to say hello to "Ms. Xiao Cheng".
The biggest news in Shanghai in the past few days is that Wang Chuanhai issued a declaration, officially announcing that the Wang clique has reached an agreement with the traitor reform regime of Liang Hongzhi in Nanjing and the traitor regime of Wang Kemin in Peiping.'
He happily informed the people that "the new National Government is about to be established, and the dawn of peace is about to shine on the land of China."
For the ordinary people in Shengdou who are living a miserable life, the big traitor Wang Chuanhai wants to establish a traitor regime, which seems a bit far away from their lives. If they have the heart to care about this, they might as well think more about the whereabouts of rice for cooking tomorrow.
However, there is one piece of news that is quite interesting to the public, that is, the evil-doing "Mr. Xiao Cheng" seems to have encountered an accident. There are rumors that "Mr. Xiao Cheng"'s legs were broken, and it was published in the newspaper.
The photo of President Xiao Cheng in a wheelchair made the public both overjoyed and deeply regretful.
Xiaobao took Xiaozhizhi from Cheng Qianfan's hand and went to the roadside to watch the ants.
"Slow down." Cheng Qianfan warned.
"Xiaobao had another fight at school." Bai Ruolan said.
"And why?" Cheng Qianfan asked, holding his forehead.
"Xiaobao said that someone called you 'Cheng Zizi' and she beat up that classmate." Bai Ruolan said.
"Good fight." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "My little baby is really good."
"When will you go to work in the patrol room?" Bai Ruolan asked with a small smile.
"What? I used to be so busy that my feet never touched the ground. You complained that I didn't take care of my family, and now you urge me to go to work." Cheng Qianfan grabbed Bai Ruolan's hand and put the Tang Pozi in his hand on the back of Bai Ruolan's hand.
"The past few days when you were at home, the phone at home was always ringing, and Xiaozhima would be woken up from her nap," Bai Ruolan said.
"Then the house is not big enough." Cheng Qianfan tilted his head and thought for a while before saying.
Bai Ruolan knocked on her husband's head.
"Press it for me." Cheng Qianfan grabbed Bai Ruolan's hand and put it on his head, closing his eyes comfortably.
"Today is the New Year. I asked Haozi to prepare some rice, flour, grain and oil. You come with me back to Yandeli to visit everyone." Cheng Qianfan said to Bai Ruolan.
"Okay." Bai Ruolan said, she lowered her head and rubbed her chin on her husband's head, "Compared to La Feide Road, I still miss the old house in Yandli more."
"There is no future." Cheng Qianfan said, and then he was hit by Bai Ruolan.
…
When he heard that he was going back to Yandeli, Xiaobao took the old cat with him.
Back in Yandeli, not only was Xiaobao very happy, but even the cat was in high spirits, patrolling the old house like a dragon and a tiger, and the cats and dogs along the way stayed far away.
"Brother Fan, what a wonderful year."
"How wonderful, Mr. Cheng."
"Mrs. Cheng, this hairstyle is so modern."
"Xiaobao, try my fried fruit."
"Oh, this is Master Zhima. He is as handsome as Brother Fan, Xiao Chenguang."
Cheng Qianfan handed over the task of distributing New Year's goods to Li Hao, and he returned to his old house amidst the unanimous praise of many old neighbors.
"Aunt Ma, Brother Fan asked you to help take care of the house. He specially asked people to prepare three-color fruits. You can just go and get them later." Li Hao whispered to Aunt Ma.
The voice was relatively low, but just enough to be heard by the few people around. They immediately looked at Aunt Ma with envy.
This old aunt is always cunning and cunning. When Bai Ruolan lived in Yandeli, Aunt Ma often visited the Cheng family to help with small tasks, and from time to time she would also make snacks that children liked to eat to please Xiaobao.
Aunt Ma proudly agreed, her neck held high like a peacock.
Zhao Laowen, on the other hand, snorted, obviously disdainful of his rival being so proud.
…
Father Valley Road.
Zhao Xiu Shou was in the outer hall of Daijia Xiaochao. The draft blew through the hall and made him shiver with cold.
"Brother Min Qi, when will you mend your broken curtain? I'll freeze to death." Zhao Xiu couldn't help complaining.
"My wallet is empty." Brother Min Qi said in a soft voice with a strong voice like a woman's.
"Dede." Zhao Xiu couldn't help but shuddered, "Brother Min Qi, you'd better stop talking. I'm afraid of nightmares."
Brother Min Qi was not angry. He skillfully put the freshly fried vegetables into the aluminum lunch box and put it into the basket. "Don't forget to return the basket to me."
"I know." Zhao Xiu picked up the basket and hurriedly left the house, then roared, "Where's my foreign car?"
So, when Zhao Xiu ran back to the district agency headquarters out of breath, it was already three quarters of an hour later.
"Brother Cen, try this family's cooking." Chen Gongshu greeted Cen Yufeng warmly, "This Dai's stir-fry restaurant, even though it's just a small restaurant, is really good at cooking."
Cen Yufeng put a piece of twice-cooked pork into his mouth, his expression moved slightly, and then nodded, "It's really good."
Only then did Chen Gongshu notice that the vegetables in the lunch box were cold and the fat in the meat slices had solidified.
He tried several other dishes, but they were all cold, especially the nine-turn large intestine, which became even more cloying after being cold.
"What's going on?" Chen Gongshu asked, his face darkening.
"Search, I, I ran back." Zhao Xiu lowered his head and said, "The foreign car was stolen."
He is really shameless. In front of the new district secretary, this man is really embarrassed.
"Idiot!" Chen Gongshu glared at Zhao Xiu fiercely. He was a master of military operations, but his foreign car was stolen when he was out. He was thrown into his grandma's house in disgrace.
"Oh, it doesn't matter." Cen Yufeng waved his hand and said, looking at Zhao Xiu with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
Zhao Xiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded sharply, "Yes, yes, Zhenjiang is jealous."
"It's good if there's vinegar, it's good if there's vinegar." Cen Yufeng was very happy and took the vinegar pot directly, poured it into the cup, and then tilted his neck.
Then he drank a few big gulps, wiped his mouth, and seemed to be thinking about it, "Well, I feel good, it's okay."
Chen Gongshu was stunned, then burst out laughing, "They say Shanxi old men are jealous every day, and it's true."
"Funny." Cen Yufeng said with a smile. He picked up a piece of sausage, rolled it in a vinegar dish, and then put it into his mouth. His mouth was full of oil.
"Hourful." Chen Gongshu gave a thumbs up. Compared to Cheng Xuyuan, who had left Shanghai before, he had a better impression of Cen Yufeng, the new secretary.
Cheng Xuyuan is more like a scholar. Although Chen Gongshu also claims to be capable of writing and martial arts, he and Cheng Xuyuan don't have a good temper.
"I heard from Brother Fan Qi that Brother Cen met Cheng Qianfan on the ship to Shanghai." Chen Gongshu said.
"We happened to be on the same boat." Cen Yufeng nodded, "I was still thinking about finding the right opportunity to kill him, but the guy hid himself tightly and didn't find the opportunity."
"Fortunately, I didn't find a chance." Chen Gongshu shook his head.
"What?" Cen Yufeng asked in surprise, "Can't this person move? Or is this person actually one of ours?"
"Of course not." Chen Gongshu shook his head, "To be honest, brother, I have already intended to attack Cheng Qianfan, but Chongqing has strictly prohibited it."
"Why is this?" Cen Yufeng asked.
"Cheng Qianfan has a lot of power in the French Concession, has won the trust of the French, and has secretly defected to the Japanese. Boss Dai believes that if he attacks this person, it will not only anger the Japanese and attract retaliation, but most importantly, it will provoke
The dissatisfaction of the French." Chen Gongshu said.
Cen Yufeng clicked his tongue. He naturally knew Boss Dai's attitude towards the Japanese. He would never begrudge the Japanese, and he hated traitors even more. Obviously Boss Dai was strictly prohibited from attacking Cheng Qianfan because he did not want to anger the French.
considerations.
"Westerners are not good birds either." Cen Yufeng said thoughtfully, "Brothers, we are new here. What is the attitude of the French in the French Concession towards us?"
"The Japanese are pressing harder and harder, and the French are naturally dissatisfied. Most of the time, they will turn a blind eye to our activities." Chen Gongshu said, "But..."
"But what?"
"However, the Japanese bribed people in the French Concession patrol room are becoming more and more rampant." Chen Gongshu said, "Especially people like Cheng Qianfan. They are actually the tentacles of the Japanese extending into the French Concession, and the lives of the brothers are becoming more and more difficult.
.”
"I heard that the District Council officer got rid of a detective from the concession before." Cen Yufeng asked.
"You are talking about Cheng Haitao, right? This person has long since taken refuge with the Japanese and has dealt cruel blows to us many times." Chen Gongshu said.
"Since Cheng Haitao can be killed, then Cheng Qianfan can be killed as well." Cen Yufeng took a sip of Daqu wine and said.
Chen Gongshu glanced at Cen Yufeng in surprise. He was a little surprised why Cen Yufeng would bite Cheng Qianfan and wouldn't let go.
"We will discuss this matter in the long run, in the long run." Chen Gongshu said with a haha.
…
"The old house is empty, please trouble my aunt." Cheng Qianfan pointed to the pastries on the table, "I know that my aunt likes sweets, so I brought these pastries and preserved fruits from Qingdao."
"Oh, Brother Fan, it's you. You're on a business trip and you're still thinking about my aunt." Aunt Ma hurriedly picked up her net bag and said happily, "My aunt has never been away from home. This time, thanks to Brother Fan, I'm still thinking of you."
You can eat pastries from Qingdao.”
"It's just some gadgets." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "No one lives in the house, so it will inevitably attract snakes, insects, rats and ants, which will trouble my aunt."
"No, mice are not easy to catch." Aunt Ma said with a smile. She picked up her net bag and stood up. "I'll go back right away. I won't be able to see Zhao Laowen to death."
Cheng Qianfan looked at Aunt Ma with a half-smile.
Aunt Ma blushed, twisted her waist and walked away.
"Auntie, thank you very much." Cheng Qianfan clasped his fists.
Aunt Ma didn't look back and muttered, "Auntie watched you grow up. Mr. Cheng is no longer here, so it would be great if Auntie can help you a little bit."
Cheng Qianfan's nose felt sore.
He had known for a long time that Aunt Ma and Zhao Laowen were willing to help him and take care of him secretly. This was a legacy left by his father Cheng Wenzao.
Did his father know Wang Yajiu?
Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart.
Picking up the token on the table, Cheng Qianfan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
It turned out to be an old acquaintance!
This is a token that he is very familiar with, with a cherry blossom pattern and a "well" character on it.
The first time I saw this token, I got it from Lao Mo.
That rat turned out to be from Inoue Mansion?
Why do the people of Inoue Mansion focus on this empty old house?
