Hearing the sudden knock on the door, Song Fuguo winked at Fan Qi.
Fan Qi walked behind the door and asked loudly, "Who is it?"
"Little brother, it's me." A middle-aged man's voice came, "My brother is ignorant and made a big fuss. He disturbed your boss's rest. I'm here to apologize."
Fan Qi looked at Song Fuguo, who had already picked up the book in his hand, and nodded.
With a creak, Fan Qi opened the door.
"Boss Liu, please...what are you..." Fan Qi looked at 'Boss Liu' standing outside the door and was surprised.
Boss Liu was holding a gift that looked like a pastry tied with a string in his hand, and stood at the door with a big smile.
"My younger brother is ignorant and I came here to apologize." Boss Liu carried the gift and looked into the cabin. Then he saw Song Fuguo. He put the gift down directly and clasped his hands, "This is Boss Tang.
Well, I’m really sorry for disturbing your rest.”
"Boss Liu is too polite about some trivial matters." Song Fuguo put down the book in his hand, got off the bed, and said with clasped fists.
"Oh, Boss Tang, you have a rest, you have a rest." Boss Liu said quickly, "I won't disturb Boss Tang from resting. Goodbye, goodbye."
After saying that, he clasped his fists again, and Song Fuguo quickly followed suit and returned the gesture.
"Boss Liu, don't you sit down and have a sip of tea?"
"No, no, next time, next time."
Boss Liu bowed his hand to Fan Qi again, "Little brother, stay, stay."
Fan Qi was naturally enthusiastic and sent Boss Liu out. The two chatted in the corridor outside for a while before giving up.
…
Boss Liu suddenly appeared, ‘apologized’ and then left suddenly.
Song Fuguo's expression was a little solemn, he was thinking.
"Boss." Fan Qi reported, "Boss Liu is the only one, and no one else came out."
Then he saw Song Fuguo frowning and thinking, and asked, "Boss, do you think there is a problem?"
"It's hard to say." Song Fuguo shook his head, "It makes sense to say it was an apology. Shandong people value courtesy."
As he said that, he sat on the edge of the bed, "But if there is a problem, it does seem to be a little bit."
It could be said that the other party found an excuse to visit the spot, but it cannot be completely ruled out.
Another point is that the other party is a merchant from Shandong, which is enough to arouse Song Fuguo's vigilance.
He said that Shandong people attach great importance to etiquette, loyalty and meticulous work. This is what he means sincerely. Shandong has produced heroes since ancient times.
However, now that Shandong is an occupied area, the other party may really be a merchant or a traitor.
Like many enemy-occupied areas across the country, there were Shandong heroes who would rather die than surrender and rise up to resist, and there were also countless traitors who forgot their ancestors and took refuge with the Japanese.
In the 17th year of the Republic of China, when the Japanese army invaded Jinan and caused the May 3rd tragedy, a group of old warlords, frustrated politicians and market scoundrels headed by Ma Liang were willing to rebel and organized the so-called maintenance committee.
Last year, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. A Korean man fled without a fight, and the Japanese army successfully entered Jinan.
He Supu, Zhang Xingwu and others from Jinan Taoist Academy organized a group of ruffians to line up to welcome the Japanese troops into the city.
Soon, the Japanese army moved south, leaving only a few garrison troops in Jinan City, and the social order was in chaos. Japanese spies invited Ma Liang and Zhu Guishan to establish a maintenance committee at the end of last year, with Ma and Zhu serving as chairman and vice president respectively.
In this way, many old warlords and bandits saw the power of role models and defected to the Japanese one after another, willing to become traitors.
Of course, there are traitors, but most of them are heroes who stand up and fight to the death to resist the invasion.
From the fall of Shandong last year to today, in less than a year, dozens of anti-Japanese uprisings, large and small, have occurred in Shandong. Some of these uprisings were led by the Red Party, and some were instigated by the Lixing Society Secret Service.
However, most of them were initiated by the leaders of the Red Party, and there is nothing that can be done about it. The Red Party is best at 'inspiring people'.
Not only good men, but also women also took up arms to resist the Japanese invasion.
Even when the Japanese army occupied Jinan No. 1 Jiyuan last year (not a typo), the women in the Jiyuan had already committed suicide before the Japanese army broke in. All these miserable women could do before they died was "don't do anything".
Let little Japan enjoy”.
…
Song Fuguo looked at Fan Qi and said, "Show it to me."
Fan Qi then wrapped the gift in brown paper and tied it with string and handed it to Song Fuguo.
Song Fuguo put on his gloves, took the gift, and opened it carefully.
"This is Shanxian Mi San Dao." Song Fuguo smiled, feeling a little relieved.
He asked Fan Qi, "How many people are in their group?"
"Five adults, four boys and one girl, the girl brings a boy doll." Fan Qi said.
"Baby boy." Song Fuguo nodded. He looked through his suitcase, but in the end he couldn't bear to look at this or that. It wasn't about money, it was all the care he gave his niece and granddaughter.
Choose gifts to bring.
So Song Fuguo put on his coat and hat, holding a civilization stick in his hand. He was going to go to the cruise ship's store to buy some snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, licorice and plums.
…
"Brother, do you need to go up and apologize?"
"What? You're making a fool of yourself and disturbing the neighbors' rest. Shouldn't you apologize?"
"I'm not saying no, it's just."
"Just what?" Boss Liu glared at his third brother.
"It's just that honey three swords, the baby has already swallowed his saliva."
"When you come to apologize, you must get some decent gifts." Boss Liu said solemnly, "Misandao is famous in Shan County, and both adults and children like it."
"You know that both adults and children like it." The third child muttered and finally said nothing more.
Boss Liu frowned and showed a thoughtful expression. After about a minute, a smile appeared on his face.
Then, Boss Liu looked at the man who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and said, "Teacher, how do you think my third brother and I performed?"
The man appeared to be in his fifties, holding a thread-bound book in his hand and reading it with gusto.
After hearing this, he put down the book in his hand and looked at his two students.
He didn't answer the question first, but asked directly, "Didn't I tell you not to come to my room if you have nothing to do?"
"Teacher, you are here alone, we are worried about your safety." Boss Liu said.
"What danger could there be? You live next door to me." The teacher shook his head.
"Teacher, please give me your review." The third child couldn't help but said.
"From the moment you two opened the door and came in, you were wrong." The teacher said coldly.
"Teacher, the students are confused." Boss Liu said.
"What is your identity?" the teacher asked.
"Pretend to be a merchant from Shandong." Boss Liu said.
"What is my identity?" the teacher asked.
"Teacher, you are a university professor, a famous litterateur and archaeological expert in the empire." Boss Liu said.
"You, a leather goods seller, why do you come to me, an archaeological expert?" The teacher snorted coldly, "Stupid."
