Yoshimura Youta poured sake for Ning Zhiheng on the side, and everyone raised a glass together to welcome Ning Zhiheng's arrival, and then chatted while eating.

For Yoshimura's family's curiosity about themselves, Ning Zhiheng had already prepared for a long time to integrate into a new environment, there must be a process, it is the same when he goes there, he has done his homework before, and he will not miss the slightest flaw in dealing with it.

The meal prepared by the Yoshimura family was very sumptuous, Ning Zhiheng could see that this was not a light meal, but a carefully prepared dish, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, he was just renting a house to live, was the Yoshimura family too enthusiastic, wouldn't they be so hospitable to every tenant?

Between the banquets, that Yoshimura Kumiko didn't speak much, and it could be seen that she was very shy towards Ning Zhiheng, always smiling and silent, looking very gentle.

However, Ning Zhiheng's mind has always been on dealing with the conversation between Yoshimura's father and son, he should pay attention to being as brief as possible in his words, and correct his spoken language, on the one hand, he should pay attention to his words as much as possible not to show flaws, once he finds that he does not understand the topic of the situation, he pretends to be silent and unsociable to deal with the past, not to mention, this dinner has made Ning Zhiheng's spoken language improve a lot, it seems that the language environment is still very important.

A dinner was not short, and finally Ning Zhiheng got up, said goodbye to the Yoshimura family, returned to his yard, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this time the dinner was not easy, and the brain was running non-stop, but fortunately, Ning Zhiheng was not dealing with professional intelligence officers, the difficulty was reduced a lot, and it was considered to be decent, and he finally passed the test.

Seeing Ning Zhiheng return to his courtyard, Yoshimura Youta looked at his son and asked, "How is it?" I can't be wrong in my vision, this young man is very good, I just said, it's really a side branch of the Fujiwara family in Kyoto, but the family is in decline, but it's still good to be worthy of our family Kumiko! ”

Yoshimura Masakazu nodded and said with a smile: "This Fujiwara doesn't like to talk much, he is still more honest and responsible, this kind of person is very down-to-earth." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced back at his sister and said with a smile: "The main thing is that people are tall and handsome, and Kumiko must like it very much." ”

Kumiko, who had not spoken, turned red at this time, and did not pay attention to them, but cleaned up the table with her mother, but it could be seen from the expression on her face that she was also very fond of Ning Zhiheng.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Keita Fukaya, who had had a few drinks, walked out of the tavern with a slight drunkenness.

During this era, due to the rapid increase in the population of Japan, many civilians were left without land and jobs, and the Japanese government turned its attention to China in order to divert the increasingly intensifying social contradictions.

Trying to encroach on China's territory and resources to ease domestic pressures, and calling on their own nationals to go abroad, like immigrants from China's northeast and Shanghai regions.

In the northeast, the notorious Japanese Reclamation Group was formed, and there were relatively few immigrants in the Shanghai area, but they far exceeded the total population of each country in China.

Keita Fukaya was one of them, he was just a poor man with no property and no job in China, and he ventured abroad to Shanghai, where he immediately felt a sense of satisfaction, with many job opportunities, food and clothing, and a few glasses of wine in the evening.

You can even bully Chinese from time to time to experience a sense of superiority, which is much happier than in China.

He walked a little unsteadily on the streets, the control in the Japanese occupation area was very strict, and although it was night, there were still police patrolling the streets.

At this time, a patrol officer looked at Keita Fukaya, who was already a little unsteady in walking, and frowned, this is another drunkard!

He stared at Keita Fukaya a few times, which suddenly startled Keita Fukaya, he was just a little drunk, but he wasn't really drunk.

Don't look at him as fierce to the Chinese, but he is afraid of the Japanese police, after all, ordinary civilians are still very awe-inspiring to the police, so he turned around and turned into an alley, walked a few steps quickly, looked back to see that there were no police followed, only then unconsciously relieved, and then raised his feet and walked forward.

The light in the alley was very dim, and at this time, two men who were supporting each other came over, they were wearing Japanese kimonos, full of alcohol, and staggered towards Fukaya Keita, don't look at Fukaya Keita himself was a little drunk, but he knew to avoid these drunks who were drunk than himself, but for some reason, he still didn't avoid the collision of the other party.

One shoulder hit Keita Fukatani's body, only to hear the other party scold, "Yaga!" Suddenly, two drunks grabbed Keita Fukaya's collar and hit him in the face with a heavy fist, instantly shaking Keita Fukaya's body and falling to the ground.

Keita Fukaya himself is not physically strong, and he is very slow to react after drinking some alcohol, so he has no power to fight back at all.

The two drunks didn't rest, and then punched and kicked Keita Fukaya, and Keita Fukaya still had some wailing at first, and soon he was hit in the ribs with a heavy punch, and his whole body curled up in pain, and he didn't recover for a long time.

The two drunkards looked at each other, and one of them winked, then turned and left, and soon disappeared into the night.

Keita Fukaya only felt that the sharp pain in his ribs was unbearable, and it took a long time to recover his strength, and he shouted for help in annoyance, and it took a long time to call the police patrolling the street, and then he was helped and taken away, and the two drunks who beat people had long since disappeared.

Half an hour later, in the back hall of the Huimin Grain Store, Ji Hongyi looked at the two helpers under him and asked, "How is the injury of that Japanese, don't shoot too badly and die." ”

The strong man nodded affirmatively and said, "Little boss, you can rest assured, according to your instructions, I will act in a measured manner, and the rib on the left side will definitely be discounted, but it will never be fatal, and it will be raised for at least a few months." ”

"Well done!" Ji Hongyi nodded and said yes, and after speaking, he put a few banknotes on the table.

One of the strong men stepped forward, took the banknote in his hand, and said with a smile: "Little boss, this kind of thing will be handed over to us in the future, these Japanese always bully us Chinese during the day, and this time they are finally relieved." ”

Ji Hongyi said with a smile: "How can there be so many good things, you will leave the north bank tomorrow, go back to the French Concession to hide for a while, and don't appear on the north bank in the near future." ”

The two strong men nodded yes, turned around and walked away quickly.

The next morning, Ning Zhiheng got up, and after washing, he was about to go out for breakfast, and as soon as he walked into the yard, he heard someone calling him.

"Fujiwara-kun, haven't you had breakfast yet? Come to me for a bit. This is the voice of Masakazu Yoshimura.

Ning Zhiheng looked up and saw that Yoshimura was greeting him at the door of his house, last night, the two of them drank a lot of wine and became familiar with each other.

Ning Zhiheng said with a smile: "That's bothering, I'm really on an empty stomach." ”

After speaking, the two of them laughed, Ning Zhiheng walked into Yoshimura's house, breakfast was already prepared in the house, and the old woman and Kumiko, who were busy in the kitchen, also walked out.

The old woman smiled and said, "Fujino-kun, it's not easy for you to cook alone, so let's eat at our house in the future, Kumiko's cooking skills are very good!" ”

"Yes, don't you have to look for a job in a while, let's go together, I know where there is a good job, and I'll introduce you later!" Yoshimura Masakazu also echoed on the side.

For the enthusiasm of the Yoshimura family, Ning Zhiheng didn't want to refuse in person, but said: "I'll go find a job first, see the work situation and then decide, I heard that some jobs are still in charge of food, if not, I have to trouble you and Kumiko, but the food fee still has to be paid, and I will pay it together when I pay the rent." ”

Yoshimura Uta didn't shirk either, and he had to pay for the meal when he ate together, and he said with a smile: "Fujiwara-kun, what kind of job do you want to find?" Let Zhenghe take you around for a while, he knows a lot of people outside and can help you. ”

Yoshimura Masakazu also said: "Yes, now there are more and more immigrants from the country, Jiangwan is all garrisoned by troops, Songhu and Hongkou areas are still too small, and jobs are still not easy to find, I will help you ask later, it shouldn't be a problem!" ”

Ning Zhiheng had a plan, so he smiled and said: "I like to read since I was a child, I like literature very much, I want to find a clerical job, yesterday I saw a Nanwu Bookstore, there are a lot of books, it is also very quiet, I want to give it a try, I don't know if it can!" ”

At this time, Kumiko, who had not spoken, said softly: "Fujiwara-kun used to like literature, so let's give it a try, I heard that Mr. Kuroki, the director of the Minamiya Library, is very famous, and he is a famous scholar in China, and even the principal of our school often mentions him." ”

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he secretly wrote it down, it seems that in the Nanwu Library yesterday, the middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament still has some background, and he still has to be careful when he applies for the job today.

"yes, then I'll give it a try, maybe I'll be lucky and succeed!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.

Yoshimura Masawa pursed his lips and said, "Okay, if it doesn't work, I'll find a way for you." ”

Everyone quickly finished breakfast, Yoshimura and his brother and sister went out with Ning Zhiheng, they sent Kumiko to school, and then they broke up and went to work separately.

Ning Zhiheng was not in a hurry to go to Nanwu Library, and he didn't know if Ji Hongyi's actions went smoothly last night, and he needed to wait for a while to know the result.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ning Zhiheng walked quickly to the Nanwu Library, and sure enough, he saw someone posting a recruitment notice at the door.
