Xiaobao returned home and saw Aunt Chang packing her things. Large bags and small bags were piled up on the ground. It looks like it's going to move.

"Cao Qingshan finally doesn't want to stay in the hospital anymore and wants to go back to Mudanjiang?" Xiaobao asked.

"Even if he goes back to Mudanjiang, the old lady will not go back with him. Besides, Cao Qingshan didn't want to go back to his unit. It's all Japanese advisers in charge, why is he going back? Aunt Chang replied.

"Then what are you doing with all this stuff? Are you getting married? Xiaobao asked playfully.

"Fart! The Chinese New Year is less than a month away. White Peony wants to go back to his hometown in Jilin with Cao Qingshan for the New Year. I don't worry about her, I want to go with her. Aunt Chang replied.

Xiaobao was so busy all day that he was dizzy, and now he remembers that it is really almost the New Year. Especially in the Northeast, the time to prepare for the New Year is very early, and many families have already started to buy New Year's goods a month in advance.

"You're just an aunt's mother, what are you going to do? It's better to stay with me for the New Year. Xiaobao said.

"No way, Bai Peony went to Cao Qingshan's hometown to see Mrs. Zhengpai for the first time. I'm afraid she'll make me angry. I have to go and support the white peony. Aunt Chang also said helplessly.

"You are just a two-person singer, who in this world will be afraid of you except me?" Xiaobao said sharply.

After this big truth was said, Xiaobao regretted it a little. Aunt Chang was really gloomy.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'll support you when the time comes. Cao Qingshan, a brigade commander of the Manchukuo Army, others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him. If you have any grievances, come back and tell me, and I'll clean him up for you. Xiaobao hurriedly comforted.

Aunt Chang sighed and said, "It's all because I was confused at the time." married his daughter to Cao Qingshan, the big smoker. If I had married you the white peony at that time, now my grandson has embraced me. After speaking, he looked at Xiaobao with an expectant gaze.

Xiaobao was burned by this fiery gaze. hurriedly said: "In the future, when I have a child, let them call you grandma." That's all right, right? ”

"In Harbin, you think I haven't seen it? Don't mess around these days when I'm out of the house! Anyone will take it to their homes! Aunt Chang warned.

"How could I do that? I don't even know what men and women are all about. Xiaobao said after brushing himself off.

"Some things are self-taught. You don't have to pretend to be a foreign image, I'm not blind yet. What's going on with that Ulyanova? And the old Josiah. When he is not young, he always likes to provoke foreign women. I don't know how you're going to die in the future. Aunt Chang said angrily.

Xiaobao finally stopped talking back to Aunt Chang. Xiaobao silently helped Aunt Chang pack up her things, wanting to send this sharp-mouthed witch away quickly.

"By the way, someone came to you when you weren't home. His name is Xu Tieyan, and he is the Taoist of what kind of sect. I'll come back in a day or two when you're not at home. Aunt Chang said as if she had just remembered.

Xiaobao knows Xu Tieyan as a person. He once sent people to the whetstone to look for him, but he didn't meet him. This time it was he who came to visit.

It is said that Xu Tieyan's ancestor Zhang Guangbi had twelve general altars in Guanli, with two or three million disciples. Especially in Beiping, Shanghai, it is very influential.

I don't know what he's looking for himself three times for.

"Xiaobao, you are a year older after the New Year. There are a lot of children like you who have started a family and run all over the ground. When I come back from Jilin, I will definitely help you find a good girl. But don't mess around during this time. In the end, Aunt Chang still didn't feel at ease and advised.

"The Ermaozi running all over the streets of Harbin look beautiful. I've heard Japanese doctors say that mixed-race people are smart. Why don't you look down on it so much? Xiaobao asked unconvinced.

"As long as I live, you won't think about it!" Aunt Chang said angrily. She put out all the panaches of being an old lady.

There are at least tens of thousands of foreigners in Harbin. At the end of December, there is a festive atmosphere. First of all, it was Christmas for Westerners. In January there is Christmas and New Year for Russians. In early February, Chinese and North Koreans also celebrate the New Year. It lasted almost two months.

Xiaobao walked down the street, and from time to time people who had drunk too much rushed out of the bar. It's also a good time to do business, and the store has been in business for a lot longer than before.

Xiaobao bought a bottle of foreign wine and a few red sausages, sandwiched them under his armpits, and walked towards the place where Chen Mingyi lived.

Chen Mingyi did not live in the grain warehouse. If someone from the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army went to check it out, it would be possible to recognize him. Although his current appearance and temperament have changed a lot, it is better to be careful.

Chen Mingyi was still reading Buddhist scriptures under the lamp. Of course, Xiaobao didn't see it, he could just see that the words were written vertically.

Chen Mingyi took out a booklet from the middle of the book as if he was waiting for Xiaobao to arrive, and put it in front of Xiaobao.

"This is the ledger, you can take a good look at it." Chen Mingyi said.

"You're trying to make me angry, aren't you? You know I can't read it. Xiaobao said angrily.

"I know you can't read it, and trust me. I just want to tell you that there are more than 10,000 catties of grain in the warehouse. Chen Mingyi said calmly.

"More than 10,000 catties? How so? Xiaobao asked in surprise. There are real rats and human rats in the warehouse, and there will only be less food.

"As soon as the warehouse closes at night, it's our world. There are only a few of them who are the gatekeepers. It's not like you can do whatever you want. Chen Mingyi said.

"I was there staring for days and nights. Let them mix more than 10,000 catties of fine sand with more than 2 million catties of grain. Chen Mingyi explained lightly.

Xiaobao suddenly realized.

"More than 2 million catties of grain are only mixed with more than 10,000 catties of sand, is it a little less?" Xiaobao asked.

"I knew you would say that. Brother Chang, they don't feel like it's enjoyable. But I told them to be careful. Let the Japanese know about it, but it's a matter of losing your head. Chen Mingyi explained.

"Won't be discovered?" Hearing Chen Mingyi say this, Xiaobao was also worried.

"No, it won't. The sand is pulled into the warehouse like ants moving. Now you can't even see if you grab a handful of food. How can there be no grain at all? Chen Mingyi said with a smile.

"Give those people more money and keep their mouths shut." Xiaobao said.

"It's up to you to say that. These four or five people are now discussing that each family will kill a pig during the Chinese New Year. Chen Mingyi said. After he finished speaking, he took out another five hundred yuan and handed it to Xiaobao.

"Last time, you took a thousand yuan and asked Brother Chang to find someone. Although the people found it, it was not Brother Chang who found it. He was embarrassed to see you, so he asked me to give you back the remaining five hundred dollars. The remaining five hundred have already been spent, or they will not come back. Chen Mingyi said.

"You still quietly give this money to Brother Chang. Let him find a good wife. Xiaobao said categorically.

"It's pretty much what I thought." Chen Mingyi put the money in his pocket again.
