Old Shadows of the Republic of China (70)

Liu Yongfu, whose face was a little depressed, took a deep breath, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't expect them to do such a thing. If I knew where they came from and what they were going to do, I wouldn't have cooperated with them even if I died 10,000 times. ”

Lin Yutong tried his best to ease his expression, "I believe it! I believe that you are not completely in love." ”

Liao Kai lowered his eyelids, of course Liu Yongfu couldn't be fully aware, and it was impossible for people to tell him. But these words still miraculously brought Liu Yongfu to life. His attitude became noticeably more positive.

"This woman ......," he pointed to the portrait on the table, "What I know is that her name is Fang Tian, and I met her by chance. It was the third day after I was working in the task force, and I bumped into a sick woman in the hospital, very old, in her twenties, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people. But he didn't speak with the accent of a local. I thought it was strange, and I couldn't help but interrogate a few words. Only then did she know that she had come out of the house with his cousin, and she said that her father wanted to give her to an old widower as a little wife, but she didn't do it, so she secretly ran out of the house with his cousin. His cousin was a small businessman who went back and forth, and she didn't plan to go back when she came out of the house. She told me that her cousin meant the same thing, to find an honest person to live in peace, anywhere......" At this point, he paused, as if he was a little embarrassed, and did not know how to say this.

"I understand. Lin Yutong said: "This girl looks very simple, and you have a good impression in your heart." ”

"Yes!" Liu Yongfu nodded with difficulty, "In a few words, I poured out all the old stuff for people to see, I don't think this girl has such crooked thoughts." I'm not young, and I have some thoughts in my heart, so I asked more carefully. The first time we met, I had a general impression, and then we came into contact a few more times, and I thought this girl was quite suitable for me. A few days ago, Han Chunmu asked someone to invite me, saying that it was to discuss marriage, so I went. The atmosphere was good, I drank two more glasses, and the result was ...... Drunken promiscuity...... Han Chunmu shouted and shouted to kill, and wanted to sue me for rape, but Fang Tian stopped Han Chunmu...... "Thinking of that scene, he still feels ashamed and indignant.

After waking up, he met Fang Tian frankly, the two hugged each other's bodies and intertwined, and it was clear what had happened. But before he could react, the door was pushed open from the outside. Han Chunmu came in from outside with a blushing face, "Okay, you, are you still a cadre of the Labor Party? When you come to talk about marriage, you talk about my sister's bed, how much effort I have to go out, you are so impatient." What do you think of my sister? Let me tell you, my sister is a girl from a good family, and I can't let you be so bad, I want to go to your chief...... You have three disciplines and eight points of attention, but you sing them every day, and what do you say, don't bully women! I don't think you can do it. If you bully my sister, you're going to have to shoot ......"

"Cousin!" Fang Tian pulled up the quilt to cover his fair and delicate body, "Don't blame him, I volunteered to ......"

"What voluntarily?" Han Chunmu glared and said, "You forgot...... How did you get abandoned by your fiancé!These scholars are all sanctimonious, I used to think he was an exception, but now I see a nest of snakes and rats, the same dog thing. ”

"Don't mention him!" Fang Tian screamed as if he couldn't stand the stimulation, covering his ears with his hands.

"Why can't you mention him?" Han Chunmu sneered, "Didn't you go to the hospital that day? The woman who robbed your man doesn't know how good she is doing now." Her reputation here is huge, who doesn't sell a little face. The two of them are like glue, and they have a son. She's snatched everything from you now! Are you really so willing? Girl, listen to my brother's words, you can't fall down twice in the same place, this person is no different from your fiancé......

"It's different! it's different!" Fang Tian shook his head again and again, but he didn't say anything different, but his whole body trembled.

Liu Yongfu closed his eyes, what did he think at that time? Thinking about why the person they were talking about was so familiar. In the hospital, Lin Yutong is the only one who meets the standards they said. The previous dissatisfaction reached the top when he saw his woman trembling, "The woman you are talking about is the King of Lin Yama?" he only asked at the time. What did Han Chunmu say, he said yes, it was the King of Lin Yan. robbed someone else's fiancé, and when he was in the capital, he should be involved with those people in the Kuomintang.

"I'll help her!" he offered to help Fang Tian get angry. When Han Chunmu went to the hospital, he only replaced the real medicine with a fake medicine, and after the matter was completed, he came forward to break the matter. Corruption and shoddy will not cost Lin Yutong's life, it will only ruin her reputation.

Liu Yongfu muttered, "If I knew that they would be so harmful, I would not agree to it." ”

Lin Yutong sighed: "A spy of the Japanese kingdom accused me of robbing her fiancé, is there anything more absurd than this? About her, Section Chief Liao knows everything very clearly. How she lurked around us, what happened between us, is documented organizationally. But such a clumsy lie can turn your fingers around. In the final analysis, one is that you are afraid of death, and the other is that you are greedy for sex. The two are all accounted for, and the people who have been clean for half their lives are stuck in the mud like this. With that, he stood up, "Where did you meet Fang Tian?"

"Han Kee Cargo Station. Liu Yongfu lowered his head, and for a moment he seemed to be old.

Liao Kai glanced out, and then took someone with him when he heard the wind. He accompanied Lin Yutong out of the house, "It's a pity!"

Yes!

Lin Yutong glanced back at Liu Yongfu, "Beauty, especially a weak woman with a poor background, is the most likely to arouse a man's desire to protect, so you have to take it as a warning." ”

Tian Fang is really an amazing person, and it took a week for the security department to find her from an abandoned cave. In the cell, she kept her mouth shut: "I have to see my teacher, or you won't want to get a word from me." ”

Lin Yutong stood in front of her at her strong request.

"Mr. Lin, don't come unharmed. Tian Fang smiled, like an old friend reunited.

Lin Yutong looked at the embarrassed Tian Fang: "Why are you doing this?"

"Sir, I think about you day and night......," Tian Fang chuckled, "I finally saw you today." ”

"You must not eat my flesh or drink my blood. Lin Yutong sat down, "I know you hate me, but Tian Fang, since you call me sir, I think I should still say a few words to you." Between me and you, it stands to reason that there is only national enmity, not personal enmity......"

"No selfish hatred?" Tian Fang instantly became excited, if it weren't for the two female warriors holding her, she would have wanted to stand up and bite Lin Yutong, "Who did Miss Fangzi plot against?"

"I killed a rat in the house, could it be my fault? The fault is that why don't you shrink down on your territory and come to my house, and you are not allowed to fight back? Your hatred is really inexplicable. Lin Yutong said, his expression softened, "Of course, between you and Ding Fan, if we have a hostile relationship, I am very sympathetic to the love between you." He's dead, but he wants you to live. But you're just going to die. That's sorry. ”

She got up, and was about to turn around and walk out, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of happiness in Tian Fang's eyes, and before she understood what was going on, she saw a cold light flash, and with a whistling sound, it came to her throat, she leaned over, and narrowly avoided it.

"Needle...... She has a secret weapon in her mouth...... Lifted her chin ...... "I don't know who shouted."

When Lin Yutong turned to look over, black blood was already flowing from the corners of Tian Fang's mouth, and she looked at Lin Yutong hatefully, "I didn't kill you...... No revenge...... But you don't want to...... What do you get from me......"

Without saying a word, he closed his eyes.

Lin Yutong was about to step forward to check, but Liao Kai stopped him, "This woman is scheming, it's better to be careful." ”

The female warrior in custody touched Tian Fang's neck, "It's dead!"

Lin Yutong took a deep breath, "She's really stronger than many men." "Not everyone has the courage to die.

After this incident, Lin Yutong's heart did not completely let go, and whether there was anyone else with Tian Fang except Han Chunmu has become unknown. Therefore, the safety of children still cannot be relaxed.

Liu Yongfu had an accident, and Apricot was transferred to the grassroots level and entered the canteen of the charcoal burning team. It was a little far away from Yan'an, and it was in the only primitive forest in northern Qin, and there were no people around. Only the charcoal-burning team is there, providing hundreds of thousands of catties of charcoal to various organs in the border area every year, and the production task is very heavy. Lin Xing is the only woman in this team, and she is only responsible for cooking, but it is not an easy job.

"Her behavior is recorded in detail in the file, and ...... in the future," the fourth master hesitated, "If nothing goes wrong, it will probably be like that for the rest of her life." ”

Without the opportunity to be promoted, she can't toss. Because there's no need to toss anymore.

Lin Yutong rubbed his forehead, "How will I tell my eldest brother and Yang Zi in the future?"

Not beat around the bush!

The fourth master didn't take it to heart at all, and took the big characters written by Chang Sheng and asked Lin Yutong to look at it, "Take a look, see if you have grown." ”

Chang Sheng's little hand was behind his back, looking nervously, until Lin Yutong nodded, he smiled: "Mom is always busy, and she didn't make me anything to eat." ”

"Okay, I'll make you something to eat today. Lin Yutong nodded his nose, thinking about how to match two decent dishes for the child.

The weather is slowly getting colder, and it seems that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Street finally sells mooncakes. The fourth master came back from the newly built steel mill and carried several bags.

"What kind of stuffing?" Lin Yutong took one and broke it, half of it was given to Chang Sheng, and half of it was stuffed into his mouth and tasted, "This taste...... Sweet potato filling?"

Chang Sheng nodded: "Well! ”

That's because saccharin was put in.

The fourth master was a little disappointed: "You can taste the others, see if there are five kernels with jujube paste." ”

"Is it a price?" Lin Yutong asked as he broke it.

"Well, a price. The fourth master glanced back, "I'm also confused, of course one price won't be other fillings." "Sweet potatoes are everywhere, but dates can be sold at a good price.

Lin Yutong tasted them one by one, "This is very sweet...... This general sweet ...... This is an original ......."

The three kinds of stuffing are actually different in the amount of saccharin in the sweet potato. She only kept the original flavor, and took out the rest for everyone to share.

Chang Sheng looked at it with blank eyes, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. But do you dare to give you more saccharin?

Just as he was about to reason with him, he heard someone outside: "Oh, this is going to eat moon cakes." Come on, come on, take a bite, it's communist!"

The fourth master went out, Lin Yutong didn't know who this person was, and after listening to it for a long time, he knew that they were here to inform them to sign up actively, and there was going to be a sports meeting in a week.

"Have a sports meeting?" Lin Yutong thought he had heard it wrong, "A sports meeting at this time?"

The fourth master nodded: "The front is vigorous, the rear is full of spirit and enthusiasm, this attitude is optimistic, full of confidence, this is a good thing." ”

A good thing is a good thing, but it's also a trouble for yourself. "I didn't feel hungry before, but now that Sister Fang's affairs are inconclusive, and there is no one to deal with the complicated things, I have a lot of troubles. Hospitals and schools, who's in charge of the sports team? Are you asking me to lead the team?"

When she found Guo Yonggu, she also said, "Can Sister Fang's problem be solved first? ”

Guo Yonggu was worried: "What is this limited?"

"Actually, ......" Lin Yutong looked at the two of them and pondered for a long time before saying: "Actually, I think that Sister Fang Yun's problem can be reversed, why? Some of the decisions he led the working group made before are a little out of scrutiny? It is also the proper meaning of negating the previous work. Let's start from the beginning, maybe it is more objective. ”

Li Hong smiled, this Dean Lin is really looking for opportunities.

Lin Yutong sighed: "Sister Fang's work is really important, she hasn't resumed work for a day, and I feel constrained here." When it comes to borrowing medical equipment, you have to coordinate with other hospitals. She has to deal with the chores of the hospital, and it can be said that in such a large hospital and school, she is responsible for everyone's eating, drinking, and Lazar. If I take care of such a mess, where will I have time to treat the disease and save people? That's why I'd like to ask you two to think about our specific difficulties. ”

Li Hong glanced at Guo Yonggu, "I think, just do what Dean Lin said." Sister Fang is not easy. Team Leader Liu...... Compared with Sister Fang, Liu Yongfu seems too unable to resist the temptation. ”

The experiences of these two people have something in common to some extent. Thinking of this, Guo Yonggu was also silent, and it took a long time before he said: "Reviewing cadres, in the final analysis, is also protecting our cadres." Dean Lin, we will seriously consider your suggestion. ”

So after two days, the review of Fang Yun ended, and she was confined in the courtyard for half a year, which can be regarded as free. "It's a little boring, but this opportunity is rare. Having time to spend with the kids......"

You're idle, but I'm almost exhausted. She neatly pushed all the messy things in front of Fang Yun, "It's better for you to come, you really can't take it as an ordinary person." Triviality died. ”

For sports projects, Lin Yutong didn't report any of them, but the fourth master didn't know when he quietly reported a diving and swimming.

"Diving, swimming?" Lin Yutong looked at him in amazement: "Where are you jumping? Where is the swimming pool?"

The fourth master was stunned for a moment, and shook his head: "I don't know." List the competitions, this must be a venue, right?"

Hehe! Your heart is so big!

When it was time for the competition, I learned that the venue was set in a section of the Yan River at the foot of Qingliang Mountain. The riverbed here is wide, with a depth of more than one meter, which is suitable for swimming competitions. What stunned Lin Yutong the most was that a shelf was set up by the river, and the wide wooden planks on the shelf stretched out to the river to put it, which was the jumping platform.

Bai Yuan explained to Lin Yutong: "As for the jumping platform, the water is the deepest, more than four meters, something wrong." ”

The corners of Lin Yutong's mouth curled uncomfortably, remembering yesterday's opening ceremony, there were many sports teams in the competition, and they all designed unique clothes. For example, cut a hole in a white sheet, stuff the head in, and the sheet will be hung on the body, and then draw a pattern of an eagle spreading its wings on the front of the chest, which also looks quite chic. Of course, this is a more extravagant costume. There are also straw skirts that are woven from straw and then dyed with color, which is relatively economical. But there is also a more economical one, using newspaper to paste clothes, and then you can also make all kinds of fancy clothes. She muttered in her heart, who would have thought that one day a world sports event would be held?

Her thoughts drifted back, she sat on the hillside holding the child, and watched from a distance as the fourth master beckoned Bai Yuan, it turned out that the game was about to start, and everyone had to take off their covers. There is absolutely no such thing as a swimsuit, so everyone wears big pants. This scene is really spicy to the eyes, earthy yellow boxer shorts, there is a crotch with patches, and when you take off your clothes, there is really nothing to look at, what eight-pack abs, you don't have to think about it. Rows of ribs, where is there any beauty at all. Seeing that the fourth master also took off, Lin Yutong felt a loss in his heart. His figure is good, he doesn't have eight-pack abs, but the four-pack still has some faint shape. The muscles are tense all over the body, the lines are smooth, and compared to other people, it is really a good figure.

Today's girls are actually not as reserved as they imagined, especially the female students who are engaged in art, I don't know who started it, but they are screaming and shouting cheers.

Lin Yutong said in his heart. Fortunately, his shorts are almost knee-level, in fact, he is shirtless in public.

The banks of the river are not so regular, so it is difficult to seek absolute justice in this competition. Some positions are a little ahead, some are a little behind, everyone is giggling, and no one cares about this. As soon as the whistle sounded, he jumped into the water with different movements. Many of the soldiers were southerners, grew up in water towns, and had been immersed in water since childhood, so where could this small section of the river trap them. As soon as he got into the water, he rushed out, and the level of the fourth master was not enough.

Chang Sheng stood up and clapped his palms, "Come on, come on, come on, Dad, come on." ”

Lin Yutong was driven up and shouted. But as a result...... "It's not the penultimate ......" Bai Yuan hugged the clothes of the fourth master and shouted to this side.

The fourth master had just come ashore, and he almost fell into the water without being startled by this voice.

It's not the penultimate one, it's the penultimate one. An arm's length faster than a little imp who looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen.

"Isn't the penultimate being amazing?" Chang Sheng asked, turning his head.

Lin Yutong said sadly: "Yes!

Autumn is already a little cold, even if the sun is good this time, but when he comes out of the water, and because he is blown by the wind in the wild, can it not be cold? That's it, he also jumped into the water with great interest, jumping off the three-meter high platform, and Lin Yutong's heart almost didn't jump out.

In the end, probably because of taking care of his face, the rostrum gave the fourth master an 'encouragement award'. There are only certificates, no prizes.

When he went home, Lin Yutong asked him to take a hot bath, gave him medicine, and nagged him for a long time, but his interest was undiminished. When I have time, I go to the games, basketball games, volleyball games, bomb plugs, and football games. It is also this sports meeting, dozens of events, more than 1,000 people participated, the momentum is huge, the sound of the broadcast of the game can be heard on the loudspeaker from time to time, and the people who hook always want to go over and take a look.

It's also usually lonely in a small yard, and people who didn't like to be lively before have made it lively for the first time this time.

This year's situation is good, and everyone is basically full again. So there are more activities. Just after the sports day, another music student came over to the school and hospital to teach everyone how to sing. You can not participate in any international anthem or something, and the student representatives will be impatient to do everyone's work.

Winter is coming in this atmosphere of abundant food, clothing, entertainment and life. When it's cold, it's not unnecessary, and few people are outdoors. Of course, you can't be sloppy in training every morning, except for this, you basically spend the whole day in the house. On this day, Lin Yutong came back and found that the fourth master didn't know where to get a set of carpenter's tools back, "What is this for?"

"There are some parts that they may not be able to see clearly just by drawing, so I have to make a model. The fourth master said, fiddling with the wooden board in his hand.

Lin Yutong was stunned for a long time, "You can't make this model!" "The more sophisticated the thing, the more good craftsmanship is needed."

"The carpenter will only come tomorrow,......" the fourth master smiled, "I'll make something for the child." ”

As a result, it took a long time to make a krone ball.

Lin Yutong looked at the strange thing in front of him, a square wooden stand held a square ball plate, the plate surface was painted with a grid, there were round holes in the four corners, and under the hole was a square box. "This is the Krona ball?"

The fourth master taught her to play: "The Krona ball is twenty-four chess pieces the size of a chess piece made of tree branches, and the 'beater' is larger and stronger than the 'chess piece', and is used to hit the stacked or scattered chess pieces on the board. Two people can play against each other, or four people can fight against each other, and the chess pieces will be played into the least loser in their own nest, and the other two people in the shift will take up the post, and so on, everyone has a share, the competition is fierce, and the fun is endless. "It's like a child with a new toy.

But Lin Yutong was not very interested in this kind of male game by nature, and he played two games with him, and was kicked out of class in three or two games, which was really boring. So the fourth master began to look for Bai Yuan Zhongshan, stammered and came back easily, and he was also invited to play two games with him.

Chang Sheng was in a hurry when he watched from the side, but his age really couldn't play this, so he hurriedly complained to Lin Yutong, "Dad said it was done for me?"

That's your dad's excuse. But I can't be honest with you, "Your dad prepared it for you." In another three or five years you'll be able to play. ”

"They had already played badly. "Don't want to be wronged, face your fingers, "Put it away and wait for me to grow up......"

This time is a rare time to relax. But immediately after, the winter production task came down.

Fang Yun discussed with Lin Yutong, "The hospital will definitely not be able to draw up many manpower, but the school ...... I think we can work hard and not lag behind. I want to set up a sewing factory and a shoe factory. ”

"The sewing factory can't do it without machines, so let's not be greedy and chew too much, let's just set up a shoe factory." Lin Yutong was shocked when he heard it just now, and the students had just changed to full-day classes, and now they have to increase their production again. It's also sewing, so let's make shoes. This work of accepting soles can be done while sitting in the classroom and listening to lectures, and generally accepting soles.

Thinking about a scene, Lin Yutong wanted to frown, and when he turned around, he had to ask An to think of a way, the school had to contact the printing house, and no one would save taking notes when the handouts were printed.

Shoe making is a complex affair with many processes. You have to collect rags and pieces of linen and paste the soles of your shoes. Paste it layer by layer, and then stick it on the wooden board, and if it is not dry in winter, it will be baked on the kang. Then there will be someone to make the soles of different sizes and numbers come out. Lin Yutong can also do the soles, in order to lead by example, he stays up until midnight every night to accept the soles. The fourth master accompanied him and helped her rub the hemp rope at home. Rubbing the hemp is to use a gyroscope to lift up the rotation, and the hemp rope is rubbed out one turn at a time. But there are several such spinning tops, and it is impossible for Lin Yutong to bring them home. The fourth master called to find a long, well-proportioned big potato, and inserted a stick as thick as chopsticks on it, and he turned it very easily. The two work together, and they have to get a pair of soles to complete the task in one night. The soles of the shoes are the job, but it is impossible to cut corners at all, and the inspection is very strict.

There are strict standards for military shoes: one sole should be placed in two circles along the side, and one hundred and ten rows should be contained inside, and each row of 30 stitches should be enough for each sole to fit 870 to 960 stitch sizes. How many stitches there are depends on the size of the shoe. Military shoes are now only available in three sizes, namely eight inches, seven inches and seven inches, and seven inches and four points. According to the corresponding number of yards, look at the corresponding number of needles, and check them. Once unqualified, resolutely do not enter the team, it will become a waste product. Even the person in charge has to be seriously criticized, and if there are too many times, they will be recorded in the file.

Compared to clothes, shoes are the most expensive. So Lin Yutong didn't want to be lazy, and did it seriously.

On the day when the first snow fell, someone invited the fourth master and Lin Yutong, saying that a few old people came from the capital to see them.

The two looked at each other, and they really couldn't figure out who this person was.

Lin Yutong entrusted the child to Bai Yuan: "Don't go out of the house, just play at home." We don't know when we'll be back, so you take care of him. ”

Bai Yuan responded, and he could stay and watch the child.

The fourth master touched Chang Sheng's head: "Come back and bring you something delicious." ”

Put on the coat and hat, Lin Yutong helped the fourth master to hold up the collar of the clothes to be the wind, and she herself wrapped a scarf. The two supported each other and walked out.

It turned out that there was an inspection group, from the capital, and there was a person who was familiar to both of them, Song Huaimin and Principal Song.

At this meeting, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Song Huaimin took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "After a long time, I am still safe and sound." ”

The fourth master stretched out his hand: "I really can't imagine that I have seen the old man at such a time." ”

The two held hands and hugged each other again. Only then did they separate, Song Huaimin reached out and held it with Lin Yutong, "Xiaolin, I can't think of it! Mr. Lin, who had an outstanding temperament and a new feminine temperament, is still in the same spirit ...... now, "he looked Lin Yutong in an old gray military uniform up and down," and he was still in the same spirit. But he has a different temperament. ”

Lin Yutong smiled: "Have you been doing well all these years? Madame, she is still healthy." ”

"The capital of the country has fallen, the Japanese are rampant, and he is only a slave who has died in the country. Song Huaimin sighed with a few feelings, "The Labor Party has performed well on the frontal battlefield, and its own weapons have not lost to the Japanese people, so I know that it is the work of my brother." He couldn't help but think of Huang Taofei's mediation for this matter several times that day, but in the end he ......, "You probably don't know, Taofei unfortunately died." ”

Yes?

The fourth master's face showed a little stunned, "Who would have thought that a farewell that day would be a farewell." ”

The three of them sighed, and Song Huaimin said: "The horse leather shroud is also the destination of the soldiers. Don't talk about this, I'm here this time, just to join in the fun. But I brought a batch of books, I hope they will be useful to you. ”

That couldn't be better. If you live a poor life, there is nothing that is not lacking in the border areas.

After talking at the reception for a long time, Song Huaimin proposed to go out for a walk, "Everyone's eyes seem to be different, since I came, I want to go around to see what the real Yan'an is like." Everyone else also went out with them, and I specially invited you to come. The second is to ask you to be a tour guide, and what I heard must be the truth. I'm not embarrassed by this. It is your chief who said that there is no place where no one is visible. ”

The fourth master waved his hand, "If you are not afraid of wind and snow, then walk around." ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and then went out into the street. Even when it snows, the shops on the street are open, and those who should be doing business are still doing business. Song Huaimin looked left and right, "Is the shop on this street run by the border district government?"

Not really. The government runs only one Guanghua Restaurant and Cooperative. The rest are not.

The fourth master said truthfully: "Businessmen, ordinary people, are all private in nature, and the government does not interfere. ”

"Oh?" Song Huaimin seemed surprised, "how much capital is there?"

This Lin Yutong really doesn't know.

The fourth master is very clear: "Hundreds of thousands to dozens of yuan, the cost varies." But there is certainly no sales tax taken from it. ”

Song Huaimin gasped: "What about the fields? Have the people's fields been confiscated?"

There must be land reform and land division, but the land division has not been allocated to the government.

The fourth master shook his head, "Self-management, no interference." The same is true for newly cultivated fields. ”

"You have to collect agricultural taxes, right?" Song Huaimin stood still, as if he wanted to suspect that the fourth master had whitewashed Taiping to deceive him.

The fourth master smiled: "If the income is less than four hundred catties, it will not be charged." If it is higher than 400 catties, the extra part will receive one catty of grain for every 100 catties. ”

Doesn't that mean that 500 catties of grain are collected, and only one catty of taxes are collected?

The fourth master thought for a while and added: "I remember that each household can't exceed seven and a half catties at most. ”

"Is this true?" Song Huaimin's expression became solemn.

The fourth master pointed to the people who came and went, "This is something that everyone knows, just ask anyone, and you can say the same." ”

"There are no other taxes?" Song Huaimin counted with his fingers, "For example, rent, ground rent, sugar, salt, cloth, etc., whether you buy or sell, this is all subject to tax, right?"

That's not true.

The fourth master understood Song Huaimin's thoughts, "Don't worry, you take a walk, take a look, and you'll have the answer." ”

Although they have a close relationship with Song Huaimin, the fourth master and Lin Yutong still did not rashly bring people home, which is inappropriate. Song Huaimin is also a person who knows the importance of things, and after shopping for a long time, he finally ate at Guanghua Hotel. I didn't want anything else, just mutton soaked in buns, and I was full.

Song Huaimin laughed, "We passed through the west, and we didn't eat authentic mutton bubbles." Now I want to try it. ”

Lin Yutong smiled: "Qinbei's mutton is good, and the smell is not strong." You taste it, keep it as you fall in love with it. As he spoke, he peeled garlic for the two of them. Served with garlic, it tastes even better.

Song Huaimin looked left and right, pulled the sleeve of the fourth master, and said in a low voice: "It's better for you to be cautious, among the people who came this time, there are a few experts who may propose to visit a place like a pharmaceutical factory." This is the drunkard's intention not to drink. It is also necessary to be cautious. ”

The fourth master was stunned, "Thank you." He turned his face and asked, "Okay, why did you come up with this idea?" ”

Song Huaimin nodded to the fourth master: "You still pretend to be confused for me, you don't take your traditional Chinese medicine, and you still have ...... with Yan Laoxi Change Western medicine, change materials......
