"Come, Xiaopeng take it, according to our customs, you come to pay me New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, and I will give you New Year's money!" Chen Mingxiang took out a large ocean of red paper from the safe in the study.

Twenty oceans for a letter, the weight is about a pound or more, the ocean standard is 26.8 grams, there are also a hundred oceans for a letter, five pounds heavier, it is not very convenient to use.

"Although you are all adults, you can't go back empty-handed, twenty yuan per person is a red envelope, the depreciation of this fiat currency is getting faster and faster, the ocean is starting to rise again, don't save fiat currency if you have money." Chen Mingxiang gave Li Zhendong and Xue Lin twenty yuan of legal currency.

Hearing that this family was actually rescued by Chen Mingxiang, Lu Kunyu had a different feeling in his heart, the senior brother had not changed, and he always maintained a kind heart, but he didn't want people to know.

"Sir, I will be able to move after the New Year, you can arrange an errand for me and Xue Lin, our family can't receive your favor in vain!" Li Zhendong said.

For a person like him, taking money and not working is a very uncomfortable thing, not to mention that Chen Mingxiang gave him not only money, but also a temporary home.

"You find a few trustworthy friends and brothers to work in the transportation team of Huatong Trading Company, responsible for delivering goods to customers, and also help me collect some goods, such as grain, cotton, cotton yarn, pig bristles, tea, coal, etc., the car can't come back empty, that would be too wasteful."

"As for Xue Lin, the pharmacy and clinic have started to open, and I didn't ask for a bookkeeper, in order to give you a place, buy you a bicycle after the New Year, and run back and forth on both sides." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Uncle, I can also work, you can also give me an errand!" Xue Xiaopeng said.

"You kid is smart, you will still sell newspapers on the street in the future, your Uncle Chen's errand is not easy to do, there are people staring at it everywhere, you just wander around my house and company, find a few more clever newsboys, I will give you two dimes a day."

"Remember, even if you see someone following me, or probing your brain near my home and work, you don't have to pick it out, just tell me secretly, and I'll give you thirty yuan a month." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Agents are the most dangerous profession, and if you are cautious and walk on thin ice, you may be exposed at any time, and if you don't show your feet, maybe someone in your department will defect and confess you.

Chen Mingxiang was worried that someone in the secret service headquarters or the special high school would suspect him and secretly spy on him, so he thought of using Xue Xiaopeng's newsboy group as his daily eyes and ears.

It is difficult for the enemy to think that he will take such a means to deal with it, as long as he persists for a long time, he will definitely be able to gain something, and he will eventually bump into a ghost after walking too much at night.

Chen Mingxiang didn't have any shelves, and Li Zhendong's family stayed here to make dumplings, so that the atmosphere at home was a little more lively, and they drank two glasses at noon.

"What a beautiful garden villa, do you mean that this will be our new home in the future?" After eating, he had nothing to do, Chen Mingxiang took Lu Kunyu to his new home to have a look.

This is a typical European-style building, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, floral sofas and golden chandeliers, red wooden floors, and a fireplace, giving people an exotic feeling, which Lu Kunyu loves very much.

"This is a house robbed by the gendarmerie headquarters, which originally belonged to a high-ranking official in the mountain city, but no one has lived in it, and it is full of dust. In two days I'll find someone to clean it properly, replace some bedroom furniture, tidy up the garden, and you can move in with me. ”

"In fact, there is also a garden house, which is four or five miles away from here, and the two of us don't need it at the moment, so let's leave it idle for the time being, and it is also a problem to have more houses." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"It's not appropriate for you to worry about this kind of thing as a big man, I'll be responsible for cleaning the house, the walls don't need to be repainted, the furniture, doors and windows should be disinfected and wiped clean, the sofa cover should be removed, and the carpet should be cleaned all over again, and then ventilated and dried for a few days."

"The curtains should be replaced with what I like, and the bed can be kept, but the bedding must be replaced with new ones, pots and pans, chopsticks, tea sets and wine utensils, plus scattered things, give me 2,000 yuan first, if it is not enough, you will not be returned." Lu Kunyu said.

"It's a pity, you can't stay at home, the environment in Shanghai is so chaotic and so bad, I'm really a little worried about you." Chen Mingxiang said.

This is true, he is very worried about Lu Kunyu's safety, whether it is the Japanese or the traitors of Wang's puppet government, they have adopted extremely harsh methods against the underground party, and the police department of the Ministry of Industry in the concession is not a good thing.

What is even more serious is that even the military commanders and central commanders of Shancheng also seized the opportunity to poison the underground party, and the living environment is difficult.

It is not terrible to become an underground party, judging from Chen Mingxiang's professional quality, Lu Kunyu is too immature, and she does not understand the struggle skills of underground work, and she is likely to encounter danger.

"You're a pun, aren't you? I know that you are for my own good, and I am afraid that I will encounter danger, but seeing the invaders doing all kinds of evil in Shanghai, watching so many ordinary people die miserably because of the war, and some of them are still babies waiting to be fed, I just want to do what I can. ”

"Senior brother, I remember that when you were at Fudan University, you were very brave and hated the invaders, and on August 13, you and a group of classmates braved the rain of bullets and bullets to send condolences to the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War, which proves that your heart is patriotic."

"Now that you are from the secret service headquarters, and you have a deep relationship with the Japanese military police command, and you are about to become the interpreter of the inspection team that controls the entry and exit of materials in Shanghai, why don't you want to help your fathers and fellow villagers?" Lu Kunyu believes that she has found the right opportunity to talk.

"You are not deeply involved in the world, you don't understand these things, my current identity is very sensitive, especially the inspection team that is about to be established, it is an errand that offends people, everyone knows that materials are extremely tight during the war, and the price at this time is several times more than ten times higher than usual."

"What does the inspection team do? That is, to control the entry and exit of materials for the military police headquarters, and not to allow prohibited materials to flow to the national control areas or base areas, I relaxed the inspection, the military police headquarters was not happy, don't look at me wearing many hats, I have nothing in a word from the Japanese. ”

"If I strictly inspect it, who will dare to smuggle it into the Kuomintang area? The city government, the police department, the secret service headquarters, the gang leaders and even the army in Shanghai, how many heads do I dare to offend them? ”

"The rules of the game have been set, I can't do things beyond this circle, if I can't even protect myself, how can I protect you? If you can figure this out, you may be able to really mature, otherwise, don't mention it later. Chen Mingxiang also officially responded.
