Chapter 1172: Paving the way back
"I don't seem to have ever stopped you from wanting to go abroad, you are also planning for the future of your family, there is nothing wrong with it, everyone has their own way of life, who is right and who is wrong, maybe I will also go abroad to you in the future!"
"Let's get in touch with the American diaspora, Britain was bombed into ruins by Germany a few years ago, and it is not interesting to go, at least the United States has not been attacked."
"Although there are a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings at home, but you can't bring them abroad, these are all things left by the ancestors, it is better to stay in the country, and the rest of the gold, silver, jewelry and foreign exchange, I can keep a little, and you can take the rest." Chen Mingxiang said.
In central China, there are two cigarette factories and two tea factories, two silk reeling factories and two silk weaving factories, plus the profits of salt and coal, and the profits of three textile factories.
"It's too early to say this, Japan has not been completely defeated, and I don't know what the situation at home is, if it can improve quickly after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I don't want to let you go abroad by yourself in the country, and run out of the country with your children." Wang Zhen said.
really let her go abroad, but she began to hesitate, the key is that Chen Mingxiang, as the man in the family, does not follow, she is also a little too lonely abroad, the best way is naturally for the two to go together, no, the whole family goes together.
"What, I'm afraid I'll find a second room in China?" Chen Mingxiang made a joke about her.
"I'm not worried about this, there are so many beautiful women around me, and I haven't seen you stealing your mouth, besides, this kind of thing can't be prevented, don't you often say, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?"
"A few days ago, you went to Jinling to see Chen Gongbo, I contacted Ji Ji a few times in order to deal with the company's affairs, and she didn't seem to want to stay in China, if I really want to leave, call her, we live together, and we have a care for each other." Wang Zhen said.
This seems to be a good thing, Ji Ji's life is also very hard, she has been a backup dancer in the dance hall for many years, and she was forced to marry a traitor, her situation is not the same as that of ordinary backup dancers, maybe when pursuing Pan San Province, she may also be traced, and it is a good way to go to the United States.
"Section Chief Gangcun, I'm going to the concentration camp tonight to send some wowotou, you talk to the officer on duty, tomorrow I will invite you to dinner, Lieutenant General Yazaki Kanten will come to my house as a guest." Chen Mingxiang picked up the phone and called Gangcun Shizo.
At ten o'clock in the evening, several trucks and several cars full of wowotou had to go through each concentration camp.
Every time he came to the gate of a concentration camp, Chen Mingxiang poked his head out to greet the gendarmerie officer on duty, and the vehicle drove into the camp, along with the liaison officer of the special high school section and the former director of the Ministry of Industry.
In the past, Gangcun and Ono had to follow the supervision, for fear that some contraband would be brought in, but after such a long time, they simply didn't come now, just waiting to collect the money, and they were very relieved to Chen Mingxiang.
For fear of being suspected by the Japanese, Chen Mingxiang did not come to the camp very often, usually once or twice a month, and each time he brought a cart of pickles and a large basket of pickle lumps, as well as some medicines, salt and sugar and other necessities, which were very sufficient, probably barely enough to survive.
The camp must have been informed in advance, and men and women swarmed out to see the vehicles enter the door, running underneath the trucks, looking expectantly.
The first thing to do when a few people climbed up was to remove the two baskets of nest heads, without padding their stomachs, and they couldn't resist the food to be stored in the house, and their physical strength couldn't support it at all.
There is also a warm nest with a temperature, so that these people feel a touch of warmth, at this time the Shanghai market is famine, even the pure stick noodle nest has become a luxury.
"Mr. Chen, although I have said it many times, I still want to say thank you again, if you come two days late, many people are afraid that they will not be able to hold on." Mingside held Chen Mingxiang's hand hard, and he was about to shed tears.
Despite Chen Mingxiang's continuous relief, life in the concentration camp was still miserable, except for not having enough food and clothing, what he was particularly afraid of was getting sick, often dying without treatment, and being thrown into the crematorium by the Japanese army.
"Let's go, go and sit in my car, there are cigars and red wine on it, and I have prepared some steaks, chicken and potatoes for a few of you directors, and your bodies must not collapse." Chen Mingxiang pointed to his car.
It was perhaps the best moment of the camp, when smokers tore open cigarette cases, smoked a few cigarettes greedily, and even tasted coffee in small quantities and chewed a few pieces of sugar to replenish the sugar.
As for the fruits, eggs, vegetables and other things brought in the car, as well as cane sugar and milk powder, they are basically for old men and children.
The gendarmes guarding the gate and the gendarmes patrolling the camp tasted the chocolates brought by Chen Mingxiang and ate canned food, turning a blind eye to the things in the camp, but each person had a few more dollars in their pockets.
After a busy night, this matter can be regarded as done, Chen Mingxiang and Wang Zhen slept all morning, and only got up at noon to have lunch.
However, there was a lot of busyness after that, because someone had to come to the house for dinner in the evening, but fortunately there were cooks and maids, and there were no two people to do it themselves.
"There is a serious shortage of food in Shanghai, many people are starving to death, and the lives of the common people are not much better than the foreign nationals in the concentration camps.
"At the Zhabei relief station, we have been half-starved and half-fed, and this is to ensure that we can maintain, and too many refugees have been refused." Wang Zhen said.
She was stunned by the scene of the concentration camp, none of which were healthy, and the harsh conditions and constant hunger had torn down the bodies of these foreign nationals.
Looking at those usually well-dressed gentlemen, beautiful and fashionable young ladies, holding the nest head and gobbling it up, the thin children, licking the milk powder in the bowl without a drop, she felt sour in her heart.
The life of foreign expatriates is hard, but the life of the people in Shanghai is even harder, Wang Zhen does not value money, and is willing to use his own money to do something good for the citizens.
"I can't do it this month, it's not that I'm not willing to spend money, but I can't buy food at all, if there is such a channel, I have already figured out a way."
"Don't be too anxious, the rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces is about to go on the market, and I have notified the Southeast Trading Company and the purchasing stations in various places to secretly purchase rice and ship it to Shanghai, which is expected to be ten days and half a month." Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.
