Chapter 144: Worst Intentions
"Mr. Qin, use medicine again for the wound on your body, and if the scab is removed, you will be fine." "A sticker spirit" drugged Luo Yao, put on clothes for him and said.
"I'm tired, Lao Lin, your medicine is really good, if I don't have your medicine this time, I really can't get by." Luo Yao said with a smile.
If he had not had the scar removal and callus removal ointment configured by the "One Sticker" configuration, it would not have been easy to deceive the Japanese for examination.
"Yi Tie Ling" put away the medicine box and said: "Mr. Qin is deeply blessed, so naturally he will be in trouble, where is the credit of the old decay." ”
"Let's go, come back in a few days."
"Walk slowly, Mr. Qin."
"Master, this Mr. Qin is a great favor to us, why didn't you leave anyone for a meal?" The wife of "Yi Ti Ling" came out of the room and asked.
"He's not going to stay for dinner." "Yiti Ling" also dare not tell his wife some things, lest she worry, he is also Chinese, and some righteousness still understands.
Otherwise, he would not have agreed to Luo Yao to stay in Yuhetang and stay in Jiangcheng.
……
"Why is there such a heavy smell of medicine on your body, where are you injured?" Gong Hui made Luo Yao a cup of tea and handed it over, sniffing lightly.
"You have a dog's nose?"
"Did you go to Lao Lin?"
"I know, I still ask." Luo Yao took a sip of tea and glanced at Gong Hui.
"The smell of this ointment is only available to Lao Lin." Gong Hui smiled, "Dad went to the temporary training class to attend the graduation ceremony, but unfortunately, we couldn't go back." ”
"It's a bit of a pity, but how can you not know that the people who stay and wait until graduation don't envy us?" Luo Yao smiled.
"Li Fu and Wen Zishan, their four teams, in the direction of spy staff, are estimated to not graduate until next year, and they will stay up for a while."
"Fortunately, I didn't choose a spy in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish my job at the moment." Luo Yao was glad, he had long known that the spy team was going to be postponed, so he was naturally reluctant to go, and most of the people who studied spy staff worked in the rear, which was also one of the important reasons why he did not choose spy staff.
"Also, the special training base may have to be moved to Qianyang, and Linli is already at the forefront, which is very unsafe." Gong Hui said.
"It seems that the top is preparing for the worst, and we must be mentally prepared for this." Luo Yao nodded, after the fall of Wuhan, in fact, the Japanese army was no longer able to launch a large-scale battle like the Battle of Wuhan, and there were not many chances of a fierce battle for millions of troops.
Japan's next strategy should be three points of force and seven points of politics, mainly to lure Chongqing to surrender, and the typical event is the departure of my No. 2 person.
Counting up, it's not a few days.
What followed was a long and painful period of strategic stalemate that lasted for several years, but only a few people were able to understand this clearly.
Most people are still in a pessimistic mood of the inevitable defeat of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and even believe that if the war continues, the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species are imminent, and this sentiment even permeates the entire Chongqing Nationalist Government, and there are not a few people who attempt to "seek peace with Japan," including the old man, who have been shaken.
"What's the worst?" Gong Hui asked incomprehensibly.
"It's about being vigilant at all times, being ready to fight and evacuate, and sacrificing." Luo Yao finally focused on "sacrifice".
"Will we be sacrificed?"
"I don't know, no one can say what will happen in the future." Luo Yao shook his head.
"I see, I'm not going to be caught by the Japanese anyway." Gong Hui's home is in the Northeast Ice City, where there has been Japanese power for a long time, and since childhood, I have witnessed with my own eyes that the Japanese Tuozhi Group is very domineering and bullying the Chinese people.
Although her father was only a small businessman, he taught her to love the country from an early age, taught her the principles of her family and country, and sent her to study and practice martial arts.
"Gone."
"Don't stay for dinner......"
"Every time it's like this, is my cooking so bad?" Gong Hui snorted angrily at Luo Yao's back, pouting and muttering to herself.
"Hey, you ......"
The people under his hands scattered in a hurry, daring to eat the "food" made by Boss Hui himself, and he didn't want to die, it was the exclusive domain of the river god team leader.
……
A few days have passed, and two weeks have passed since Shangzhi Middle School resumed, and everything seems to be back to before the fall, but is this really the case?
Apparently not.
Public order deteriorated, prices soared, and the Japanese army continued to send donations in order to plunder China's resources and wealth, and the lives of the common people were much more difficult than before.
Just look at who the people in the so-called maintenance association paid by the Japanese are, in addition to the people of Jiangcheng who will be exploited by the Japanese, there will also be these people who ride on the heads of the people, and they will inevitably scrape a layer of oil from the people.
The common people are already so poor, there is no oil and water in their stomachs for a long time, and if they scrape again, they will squeeze out a few taels of bone oil from knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow.
"Teacher Qin, go and get your salary, if you go late, you may not be able to get it."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liu."
The price of rice outside is rising every day, but whoever pays his salary, the first time is to go to the rice shop to line up to buy rice, and the purchase is limited, and each person can only buy a maximum of five catties per day.
If it is a family of three, five catties of rice is enough to eat, but if the family has a large population, it will have to send people to queue up.
Luo Yao is a bachelor, that is the type where one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, and his life is still good.
At the very least, the salary paid is enough to feed and wear.
"Teacher Qin, this is your salary last month." He received a wad of money from the school cashier, half in fiat currency and half in silver dollars.
The director of the school is Father Xixian, a German national, and given the current relationship between Germany and Japan, the school has not been harassed too much.
Teachers' salaries can still be paid as usual.
Many other schools, both private and public, are no longer paying their full salaries.
The Japanese forbade the circulation of denominations of more than 10 yuan in Jiangcheng, so Luo Yao got five pieces of fiat currency, not many silver dollars, and each person issued eight yuan, which was hard currency and could be used anywhere.
If only fiat currency is issued, this day will be even more difficult, and the preservation of the value of the silver dollar will allow teachers to at least live a life of food and clothing.
"That Teacher Qin, can you wait a minute?" Luo Yao received the money and was just about to leave when the young cashier called him.
"What's wrong?"
"Teacher Qin, it's inconvenient for Teacher Fei to come to pay the salary, he said let you help him collect it."
"Oh, okay, I'll get it for him." Luo Yao didn't hesitate, he had a good relationship with Teacher Fei now, and he even went to visit him at home on the weekend.
This Teacher Jiang is gone, and the relationship between love and rival does not exist, Teacher Fei still has a character, at least he did not anger Luo Yao because he was seriously injured.
Physical education teachers are paid a little less.
Luo Yao signed the payslip for Teacher Fei, put Teacher Fei's salary slip and salary into an envelope, thinking that he would send it to him after work in a while.
After getting off work, Luo Yao bought a bag of apples and went to Teacher Fei's house.
Fei Jie lives with his parents, and the family is crammed into a space of less than 50 square meters, and in addition to his parents, there is a younger brother and sister.
Because of the need to provide for the youngest brother's education, the younger sister dropped out of school early and stayed at home to work as a female worker in a knitting factory, although she was only 16 years old, she was already married.
His father worked for the Pinghan Railway Bureau as a dispatcher. My mother was not in good health, so she could only do some daily housework, and sometimes, she also took on some needlework to supplement the family.
"Teacher Qin, you are here, and you still bring things...... Fei Jie said politely, and his hand on crutches took the apple unceremoniously.
"Little brother, go wash an apple and bring it to the guests?"
Fei Yu, a ten-year-old boy who is only in the third grade of primary school, looks thin and weak, and does not like to talk much, but he has heard that his academic performance is good.
"Teacher Fei, you're welcome, I'm here to send you a salary, I'll leave in a while." Luo Yao said busily.
"Don't, last time I asked Mr. Qin to take me out of the hospital, and when I got home, I didn't drink a sip of hot tea, I really didn't want to ......go," Fei Jie said.
"We are colleagues and friends, there is no need to be so clear." Luo Yao smiled, if he stayed to eat, he was afraid that this meal would only be enough for the family's living expenses for ten days and a half months, but he would not bear it.
"How embarrassing is that?"
"No, there will be opportunities in the future." Luo Yao handed over the envelope containing the salary, "This is your salary last month, it's all in it, you count it." ”
"Teacher Qin's character, am I still not at ease?"
"Let's count them." Luo Yao insisted, Fei Jie opened the envelope, took out the salary inside, counted it, and it completely matched the amount on the salary slip.
Fei Jie repeatedly invited him to stay for dinner, but Luo Yao still declined.
When I came out of Fei Jie's house, it was already dark, and I suddenly remembered that the "Zhou Ji" bamboo products store of Lao Wu in Fei Jie's home was relatively close.
If you go back this time, why don't you stop by and have a look?
He is Zhou Min's math teacher, and now he is the head teacher, and he has nothing to say when he visits the homes of his classmates, not to mention, he also wants to know how the old Wu family is doing.
There are some things that can't be asked directly to Zhou Min.
"Teacher Qin......" Lao Wu, who was about to close, saw Luo Yao first and said hello first.
"Oh, Boss Zhou is good."
"Oh, don't call it that, are you our Zhou Min's teacher, or her homeroom teacher, come in and sit for a while?"
"It's so late, you're closed, aren't you?" Luo Yao waved his hand.
"It's okay, Zhou Min knows that you're here, I don't know how happy I am, this kid is interested in mathematics now." Old Wu squeezed his eyes at Luo Yao.
Luo Yao understood that this was something Lao Wu had something to say to him.
"Okay, then bother." Luo Yao entered the store, Lao Wu closed the last door panel, and then walked to the back yard.
