The Chairman is quite particular about food, usually four dishes and one soup, but today the Dragon Boat Festival came, four more dishes were added.
Four meats, four vegetables, and a pot of persimmon soup.
I finally had a good, decent home-cooked meal during the Dragon Boat Festival today.
Duanwu said: "This is good, this is better than what we had at the dinner that day."
The chairman said: "Then just eat. The country is still in difficulty, and this is already a luxury."
Duan Wu resolutely said: "No matter how poor you are, you cannot afford to be appointed to the throne, and no matter how miserable you are, you cannot be miserable for the head of state."
The chairman laughed and said: "Hahaha, you little monkey really knows how to talk. Eat, eat!"
But I didn’t use my chopsticks at Dragon Boat Festival because Mrs. Merlin hadn’t come yet.
The chairman likes him even more, this kid knows the rules.
However, at this moment, Mrs. Meilin and Tang Jiujiu came.
Mrs. Merlin asked as she sat down, "Why don't you two eat?"
The chairman smiled and said: "If you two don't come to the table, how will we eat? Hahaha!"
Mrs. Merlin signaled: "Eat, eat! By the way, why is there no wine?"
Duanwu replied: "Drinking is not good for children's physical development."
Phew!
Tang Jiujiu, who had just been angry with Fufu, was suddenly amused and thought to herself: You can really pretend to be young. In our village, children of your age can already act like soy sauce.
"Stop pretending to be young. How old are you without counting?"
Tang Jiujiu reprimanded, but Duanwu saw something wrong with this expression. But he didn't care, because women can't spoil her. Women will have a little temper when they have nothing to do, and spoiling them will bring out their problems.
Instead, Dragon Boat Festival said to the chairman: "Master, if you want to have a drink, I will accompany you?"
The Chairman smiled and said: "You are such a sharp kid, do you know that someone just sent me a box of old wine? This is from my hometown."
"hey-hey!"
They laughed with him during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Chairman asked the nanny to fetch the rice wine from his hometown that had just been delivered.
This wine is a special offer, and I'm afraid you can only drink such good rice wine at the chairman's place.
When the wine was poured into the cup, it was like syrup. When Dragon Boat Festival took a sip, the wine was fragrant. After licking a little, it was fresh, sweet and mellow, with a long aftertaste.
Dragon Boat Festival praised: "Master, this is a good wine."
The chairman chuckled and said: "Haha, if the wine is good, then you should drink more."
As he spoke, the chairman of the committee said to Mrs. Merlin: "Merlin, I'll have a drink with this little monkey, that's okay!"
"Drink less!"
Mrs. Merlin finally agreed. The Chairman was very happy because Mrs. Merlin usually wouldn't let him drink.
The Chairman and the Dragon Boat Festival drank together, and the Dragon Boat Festival drank first as a gesture of respect. This wine is really good, easy to drink, just like syrup.
After drinking a glass of wine, Tang Jiujiu poured another glass for him before he could start the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu was surprised and thought: What is going on?
Tang Jiujiu said kindly: "Drink, this is good wine, it is very tonic!"
"············"
Dragon Boat Festival was speechless, because it was obvious that the other party didn't seem to have any good intentions.
But Duanwu didn't mind, he would have dinner first, and then he had important matters to discuss with the Chairman.
He just didn't expect that as soon as he finished two glasses of wine, Mrs. Merlin spoke up and asked: "Dragon Boat Festival, what did you do today?"
Duan Wu had no time to think and said: "I met a few friends, had lunch at noon, and raided Wang Laohu's opium shop in the afternoon, and then interrogated me. After I got the results, I came here. Hehe!"
After saying that, Duanwu wanted to talk to the chairman about catching Japanese spies tomorrow, but Tang Jiujiu couldn't keep calm and asked: "What's going on at Paramount? There seems to be another Miss Bai, right?"
Duanwu knew that Boss Dai definitely didn't have any good intentions when he came.
But he deliberately didn't say anything, and instead said to the Chairman: "Old man, it will be too dangerous for the State Guesthouse tomorrow, so don't go there."
The chairman said: "If I don't go, the assassins won't appear, and it will be even harder to catch them. I still have faith in the abilities of the Central Commander and the Military Commander. But this time, the enemy is right under my nose. They
But no one can be found, which makes me think that someone within our army is providing convenience for Japanese spies."
Duanwu nodded and said: "What the old man said is true. It is most difficult to guard against house thieves during the day and night. But at the same time, it also shows one thing. We know too little about our opponents. During the battle,
We also need to transport our spies inside the Japanese army to obtain the movements of the Japanese army."
The Chairman said: "How can it be so easy? Japan's intelligence agencies are not vegetarians. What's more, at times like this, they will be more wary of the Chinese."
Duan Wu said with a smile: "If the Chinese can't do it, let's switch to the Japanese. The Japanese are greedy for money and lust everywhere. Even if you get his seven inches, you won't dare not give in if you measure him."
"Hahaha! You are still smart, little monkey."
The chairman laughed loudly, but at this moment, Tang Jiujiu said angrily: "Yes, he is very smart. When people ask him something, he immediately changes the subject."
The chairman said: "Look, have you neglected our Jiujiu?"
Duanwu said with a smile: "You are careful, you know that I went to Paramount to redeem Miss Bai, did Lao Dai tell you?"
"Hahaha!"
The chairman laughed but said nothing, because this kind of thing is common in everyone.
Mrs. Merlin made a smooth move at this time and said: "Jiujiu is caring about you. If there is nothing wrong, just make it clear so as not to affect the relationship between you two!"
Duanwu said: "There is no explanation for this. I didn't go to Paramount to have fun. There is a top star in Paramount called White Snake. She is Reporter Fang's confidante."
Tang Jiujiu said in disbelief: "Oh, is someone else's confidante using you to redeem her?"
Duanwu did not answer, but continued to talk to the chairman: "Old man, this reporter was hired by me from Sihang Warehouse with five gold bars.
You also know the situation in Sihang Warehouse at that time. They were surrounded by Japanese soldiers. What was the name of that old Japanese soldier?"
Duanwu thought for a while and then continued: "The old devil's name is Konoe Isao, the captain of the 68th Regiment of the Japanese Third Division. He was asked to kill him at Sihang Warehouse.
At that time, we sacrificed more than 1,300 people.
I have to say that these more than 1,300 people are all good. Some are from the local army with me, some are from the defeated army, the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, the Hunan Army, the Northeast Army, the Central Army, etc. People from all places are
have.
But the most numerous were the martyrs on the south bank. They can be described as "generously fighting for the national calamity". Some of them didn't even know how to shoot a gun, so they just jumped into the cold river water.
The British didn't let them come over, and the Junk Bridge was blocked. They jumped into the river and swam over. There were about 1,400 to 500 people there, one after another!
Without them, the battle at Sihang Warehouse would not have been so beautiful.
But even so, at the end of the battle at Sihang Warehouse, there were only more than 700 people left, and about half of them were wounded soldiers, unable to fight anymore.
At that time, the British shouted at me: No matter how powerful you are during the Dragon Boat Festival, you will still have to lower your head and pass through the concession of the British Empire. But if you want to pass, you must first surrender to the British Empire.
I said: I will not break out of your British concession. I would rather break out and die in battle, and I will fight for this reputation for the Chinese!"
"good!"
Hearing this, Tang Jiujiu applauded.
Duanwu nodded and continued: "It was easier said than done to break out of the encirclement at that time, but harder to do than to reach the sky.
The brothers all trusted me, so I had to find a way for them to survive. So reporter Fang came into my sight.
Reporter Fang spoke Japanese and spoke it very well. He was about to return to the south bank after the battle.
I told him, Lao Fang, can you stay?
Reporter Fang said: I am not a combatant and I can't help. What's more, people will die in war. I am a reporter and I don't want to die on the battlefield.
I said: Lao Fang, I will give you five gold bars and you will teach me Japanese without having to fight. Just follow me.
Reporter Fang must have been infected by the soldiers' spirit of risking their lives, and five gold bars were quite a lot, so he just followed us.
Lao Fang has helped us a lot along the way.
I remember that when we first broke through, we encountered Japanese reinforcements. Without Lao Fang, we would have been in trouble. Once we were entangled by the Japanese, more than 300 of us would have died in Shanghai...
....”
"What about Lao Fang?"
At this moment, Tang Jiu suddenly asked.
The smile on Duanwu's face suddenly disappeared, and he was silent for a long time. Then he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Sacrificed. Just the day before returning to Nanjing, he sacrificed his life in order to take down the headquarters of the Japanese 116th Regiment...
