Chapter 108: "Listening"
"What kind of code name do you want?" Lao Wu asked.
Luo Yao smiled: "Can you still choose this by yourself?" ”
Lao Wu said with a smile: "The chief's original words, it is definitely not okay to change others, but it is different for you, you have to choose a code name that you recognize and is worthy of the name." ”
"Then I'm really flattered." Luo Yao hurriedly said, "Did the chief delineate a range, or pick a few for me to choose?" ”
"The chief has written two, one is Shunfeng Ear, and the other is Di Ting, which one do you like?" Lao Wu nodded and said.
"Although Shunfeng Ear is a Heavenly Court Immortal and can hear very far, it is too far away compared to the ancient divine beasts that can explore the Three Realms and seek good fortune and avoid disasters. Luo Yao thought for a while, and chose the latter one without hesitation.
"The chief also means this, you are diving deep in the military command, you must not only be able to work for the party, but also ensure your own safety, it is necessary to seek good fortune and avoid evil, Di Ting is an ancient beast, and he is good at probing people's hearts, which is very suitable." Old Wu Dao.
"Then since the chief has said so, what else can I say, my code name is Di Ting." Luo Yao said happily, he also likes this code name very much, it sounds extraordinary.
"Then I'll report it like this." Lao Wu nodded.
"By the way, Lao Wu, what code name did your superiors give you?" Luo Yao asked curiously.
"I'm not like you, we only have one number: 0749." Lao Wu said, "Your sister-in-law's code name is: 0327. ”
"I remember the numbers 0749 and 0327." Luo Yao nodded.
"Let's stay and eat, your sister-in-law stewed a fish today?"
"No, I have to go back." Luo Yaowan refused, "If you need anything, please contact me at any time." ”
"Yes, I'll send you out."
……
"Have you found the house?" While eating, Luo Yao asked.
Gong Hui complained: "It's so easy, now a large number of people are pouring into the concession, the houses in the concession are no longer enough to live in, and the rental price has also risen a lot, and the good houses have been rented out for the first time, and the rest is either small or dirty." ”
"I really can't do it, let's find a hotel to stay in for a while?" Luo Yao made a discussion and said.
"You're in such a hurry to get me away?" Gong Hui said dissatisfiedly.
"Xiaohui, this is also for work, if you move out and live, change your identity, you can be much more free than now, if you are a housewife, how can you run a coffee house?" Luo Yao asked rhetorically.
"Why not?"
"If you appear as a woman in the business from the beginning, this is no problem, but the problem is that you appear as a gentle and demure image from the beginning, and the contrast between the front and back is so great, what will the neighbors around you think, won't this become our biggest flaw at that time?" Luo Yao explained and analyzed.
"But even if I move out, I can't be sure that I won't be recognized, I used to live here?" Gong Hui asked rhetorically.
"Don't forget who you are, you are a soldier, an agent of the party-state, not one of those vulgar women on the street who only knows how to do laundry and cook."
"But I just don't want to move?"
"If you don't want to move, you have to move, this is an order, Xiaohui, you know the general situation, don't force me to use the house rules." Luo Yao solemnly reminded Gong Hui.
"You're too ruthless......"
"Alright, although you have moved away, we can still be commensurate with each other as 'cousins', so you can come and see me at any time." Luo Yaodao.
"Really?"
"We used to live together, and if it really doesn't matter, then how can we win people's trust?" Luo Yao said, "The relationship between cousins and sisters is the most suitable. ”
"Okay, then I'll move tomorrow."
"Didn't you say you haven't found a house yet?" Luo Yao asked in surprise.
"I mean, I just didn't find a better fit." Gong Hui smiled, "I didn't say that I didn't find it, anyway, it's not far, it's next door to Sandri, the yard is a little bigger than this, but the house is not as good as this, and the rent costs thirty yuan a month." ”
"Thirty yuan a month, that's not cheap." Luo Yao nodded, he bought this small house with a yard, and if he wanted to rent it, he would have to go up to twenty yuan a month.
……
Gong Hui is not a person who doesn't know the general situation, she can distinguish the important and the important, what is the current situation, it is really inappropriate to entangle some things.
The next day, Gong Hui called a car and moved out from No. 26 Huanshanli.
The joy of housewarming, Liu Jinbao quietly went over a few nights, secretly helped Gong Hui celebrate, and Xu Jihong also went, but it is difficult to say what she has in mind.
However, Luo Yao still maintains a cousin relationship with Gong Hui as "Qin Ming", which is not too surprising.
Gong Hui wants to preside over the work of the "Sunshine" coffee house after the "Twilight" renovation.
About 20 people were transferred from the temporary training class to enrich the "River God" direct group, including four female students, and the remaining 16 were all men.
During the day, Luo Yao had to go to school, and at night, he had to instruct these people in making coffee and train them how to be a good waiter.
Although they are classmates, Luo Yao's status today is far above these classmates, and this time they are all relatively loyal and honest people.
What the current "River God" group needs is loyal people, those who are too active in their minds are not suitable, and he needs some people who can do things obediently.
The days went by day by day, very quickly.
The Japanese troops on the south bank stormed the front line of Gedian, and the battle was very fierce.
On the 18th, the Jiangcheng Garrison Headquarters decided to evacuate the rickshaws and various transport vehicles in the city, and the work of clearing the field of the fortified wall officially began.
On the 21st, the bad news came, Guangzhou had fallen, and the only way for the Nationalist Government to obtain naval support had been cut off by the Japanese army, and the darkest hour had come.
Soon, the Jiangcheng garrison headquarters issued a martial law order, the Japanese army on the northern front captured Huanggang and other places, and the Japanese army attacking along the south bank also occupied Yangxin, Dazhi and other places.
The fall of Jiangcheng has become irreversible.
People are panicking, rushing to buy all kinds of materials, not to mention rice, flour, oil, salt, as well as cloth, soap, straw paper, etc., everything involving daily necessities, are among the rush to buy, even the coffin in the coffin shop has been snapped up, the price is almost double or even three times the usual.
Even the bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs, and bamboo flats in Lao Wu's "Zhouji" bamboo products store have been snapped up, and the prices have risen by more than 30% compared with usual.
The Japanese devils who kill people when they see them, rob them when they see them, and pounce on them when they see a young girl comes, who is not afraid, who is not afraid, and who can't run, can only prepare all the materials that can be prepared.
More people are running to the French Concession.
Even the establishment of an international security zone in imitation of Jinling was already on the agenda, and the city began to prepare for life in the imminent occupied zone before it fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders.
This is the sorrow of the people of Jiangcheng, the sorrow of the Chinese, and the sorrow of the weak countries in the world!
The night rain is bleak and cold.
Whether it is the French Concession or the Chinese Territory, all of them have implemented curfews, and at a glance, the whole city is as if it is dead, and Luo Yao can't sleep at all.
Put on a coat and stand in front of the window.
Stretch out your hand and open the window, let the cold wind carry the drizzle wet the placket, no more than two days, this once prosperous city will be occupied by the Japanese invaders, and in the next few years, the common people will live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs.
The school has already listened to classes, some people have left, some have stayed.
In the two classes taught by Luo Yao, half of the students have left Jiangcheng with their parents, whether they go to the countryside to escape or go to live in other cities.
This place doesn't belong to them anymore.
And what is left, in addition to guarding this land that belongs to them, there is also a deep helplessness, the world is so big, even if you can temporarily get a place to live, what can you do?
The country is gone, but the family is alive?
The phone in the study rang suddenly.
Luo Yao was taken aback.
At this time, who will call him, Luo Yao got up and walked over, turned on the lamp on the table, and picked up the telephone: "Hey, I'm Qin Ming." ”
"It's me, Daddy." On the other end of the phone, a hoarse voice came.
It was actually Dai Yunong.
"Daddy, you command!" Luo Yao subconsciously stood up and straightened his waist.
"I left you a batch of supplies, you send someone across the river tomorrow to pick it up, I will store the things in the ......" Dai Yunong didn't say anything, and after giving an address, he hung up the phone.
Luo Yao knew what this call meant, and the heads of the Nationalist Government had decided to give up and leave Jiangcheng.
Dai Yunong will leave at any time.
However, before leaving, he could still leave him a batch of supplies, which was enough to show his weight in Dai Yunong's heart, and he didn't say anything else.
It's not that you don't have to talk about it, but you don't need to talk about it.
Sure enough, the next day, the latest news came from the newspapers, and the chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government officially announced that he would abandon Jiangcheng.
At that time, the Japanese army had formed an encirclement of Jiangcheng from the east, north, and south.
Wu Guozhen, mayor of Xiakou Special City, delivered a speech: "In the battle to defend Wuhan, we have done our best to fight a war of attrition and a protracted war, and our highest strategy is to exchange space for time...... We have gone quite completely in the evacuation of the population and the transfer of industry, and we have also covered the construction of the rear ......"
Subsequently, the Xiakou Municipal Government and the Shouchang Municipal Office were relocated to Yichang upstream.
That night, Chairman Chiang and his wife took a plane to Hengyang, and the plane circled over Jiangcheng three times before flying south.
At the same time, an order was issued for the "scorched earth war of resistance".
The next day, the vanguard of the Japanese 6th Division had arrived near the outskirts of Xiakou and engaged in a fierce battle with the 545th Brigade guarding Daijiashan, and then dispersed.
In the midst of fire and smoke.
The Japanese soldiers occupied Jiangcheng bloodlessly, and the blue sky and white sun flag were replaced with a disgusting plaster flag!
The misery of the three towns of Jiangcheng began.
