Chapter 179: The Devil Is Coming
Huang Shixun's dinner is still as simple as ever, a plate of pickled cabbage, a small half of soybean sauce and a small bowl of white rice, and it is almost enough to eat half full, because there is no need to work in the field after dinner, so there is no need to eat too full. γReading.comγ
As the first generation of entrepreneurs, Huang Shixun was hungry and suffered hardships when he was a child, so he developed a thrifty living habit since he was a child.
Halfway through dinner, Huang Delu hurriedly walked in.
"It's not good, sir." As soon as Huang Delu entered the door, he shouted, "Oh no, no." β
"What's the panic?" Huang Shixun slapped his chopsticks on the table and said, "The sky can't fall." β
Huang Delu sighed, and the next few words were not good, so he swallowed them back into his stomach, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said, "Master, I have heard the news of the fifth young master, and the fifth young master has gone to join the army." β
"Join the army?" Huang Shixun frowned and said, "Hasn't the **** already withdrawn, where did he go to join the army?" β
"Dameishan." Huang Delu replied, "The fifth young master has gone to Dameishan to join the army. β
"Dameishan?" Huang Shixun said in a fire, "Nonsense, there are only bandits in Damei Mountain, where are the ****?" β
Huang Delu said: "The lord doesn't know, a few days ago there was an armed force in Dameishan, I heard that it was an anti-Japanese armed force under the leadership of **, what is it called the Dameishan Independent Brigade, and the fifth young master defected to them." β
"What did you just say?" Huang Shixun lost his voice and said, "**? ** of the troops? β
Huang Delu said: "Yes, it is the best army." β
"This brute, this brute! He thinks I didn't die early enough, he wishes I died early! Huang Shixun was so angry that he grabbed the rice bowls and plates on the table and threw them on the ground, and the maid mothers outside heard the sound and came in one after another, but Huang Shixun scolded a bloody dog and blasted out.
Huang Delu was silent, standing next to him and not even daring to say a word.
Huang Delu knows the reason why Huang Shixun is angry, because Huang Shixun is no stranger to **, more than three years ago, there was a communist party in the official county of Shanbei, and the result was that all the landlords and squires in the county were arrested and shot, and their fields and houses and other properties were all distributed to those mud legs who had nothing.
It is no exaggeration to say that ** is the enemy of all landlords and rich people in China.
But now, the fifth young master has joined the ** team, isn't this killing father and son?
"Why did I give birth to such a rebel, how did I give birth to such a rebel, ......" Huang Shixun beat his chest there and wailed, and the fourth son Huang Shouzhi suddenly ran in excitedly.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Huang Shouzhi completely ignored Huang Shixun beating his chest there, and shouted excitedly, "Second brother is back, second brother is back!" β
"What, what do you say?" Huang Shixun's wailing stopped abruptly, and he asked Huang Shouli with wide eyes, "The second child is back?" β
"Well, I'm back." Huang Shouzhi nodded heavily, "I came back with my second sister-in-law and little nephew." β
"What, the second brother married a daughter-in-law? And gave birth to a boy? Huang Shixun suddenly perked up when he heard this, got up and said, "Let's go, then I have to welcome you." β
After speaking, Huang Shixun turned around and walked out.
Huang Delu also hurriedly followed out the door, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.
The second young master has not heard from him since he went to Japan to study in Japan five years ago, but he doesn't want five years to pass, and he suddenly comes back from Japan, or does he bring his daughter-in-law and the little master back together? It's a new thing.
When Huang Shouzhi led Huang Shixun and Huang Delu to the front yard in a hurry, he happened to see a young man leading a young woman through the photo wall and walked in.
The young woman has a fair complexion, a beautiful appearance, a beautiful woman, just wearing a floral kimono, at a glance you know that it is a Japanese woman, the young woman is still holding a little boy in her arms, but this little boy is dressed in Chinese, wearing a tiger head hat, wearing tiger head shoes, and the little face is very cute.
As soon as he saw Huang Shixun, the young man immediately knelt on the ground, and howled and cried while kowtowing: "Dad, unfilial piety has kowtowed to you." β
As soon as the young man knelt down, the young woman quickly knelt on the ground with the boy in her arms.
Huang Shixun was originally full of excitement, but after seeing the young man, he immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then raised the civilized G in his hand and pumped it at the young man, scolding while smoking: "You rebel, you still know to come back, you still know to come back!" β
Huang Delu hurriedly rushed up and grabbed Huang Shixun.
Huang Shouzhi also hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Huang Shouyi.
The Japanese young woman was a clever person, and she spoke fluent Chinese, so she hurriedly hugged the boy and stepped forward: "Call grandpa, Xiaobao quickly call grandpa, call grandpa." β
The boy really opened his little hand and called grandpa in a milky voice.
Hearing this immature grandfather, Huang Shixun's old face immediately bloomed, and while reaching out to take the boy, his heart and liver were all kisses.
After the drama of father and son filial piety was staged, the family entered the main hall to talk.
Huang Shixun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked Huang Shouyi: "Second brother, where have you been all these years, why haven't you sent a letter to your family, do you know how anxious your father is at home?" β
"Dad, it's all sons who are not filial." Huang Shouyi said, "But before I went to Japan, my son told you, I will never come back to see you if I don't mix up my personal appearance, a few years ago, I really didn't have the face to see you, and it was only in the past two years that I finally found a serious businessman, so I dared to go home to see you." β
"Tough seeds, all strong seeds." Huang Shixun remembered Huang Shouxin again for no reason.
Huang Shouzhi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask Huang Shouyi: "Second brother, what are you doing now?" β
"Trade, do international trade." Huang Shouyi said, "Of course, the main thing is to do business with the Japanese. β
"International trade?" Huang Shouzhi didn't understand it at all, he just felt that it was very profound, very high-minded.
Huang Shouyi asked his subordinates to present the gift box he brought back, and when he opened it, it was a huge Korean ginseng, which could weigh more than two catties at least, and it was rare to see such a big Korean ginseng these days.
Huang Shixun was happy in his heart, but he said: "You loser, what are you buying this thing for." β
"Dad, I didn't buy it." Huang Shouyi looked back at the young Japanese woman and said, "Your daughter-in-law specially bought it from Seoul to honor you." β
The Japanese young woman also smiled and said, "Honoring my father is what we should do." β
Huang Shixun was even happier in his heart, chatted for a while, and asked Huang Shouyi again: "Then when you come back this time, do you plan to stay for a while and leave, or do you plan to stay for a long time?" β
Huang Shouyi said: "Dad, this time my son won't leave when he comes back, and he will stay for a long time." β
"That's fine, that's fine." Huang Shixun said with relief, "Your brother is an official, and he is not at home all the year round, the third is a soldier, not to mention, the fourth is an unsuccessful person, the fifth, don't mention it, your father is also old, there are so many things in the family, there should be someone to take the lead." β
"Dad, your body is still strong, and the affairs of the family are not in a hurry." Huang Shouyi waved his hand and said, "My son came home this time, mainly to do more filial piety in front of your old man's knees, but by the way, he also made a deal." β
Huang Shixun is accustomed to seeing wind and rain, and when he hears it, he knows that Huang Shouyi's filial piety is by the way, and doing business is the main purpose, but he is not disgusted in his heart, he also made a fortune by doing small business back then.
At that moment, Huang Shixun asked: "Doing business, I'm afraid it's not safe to do business." β
"Yes, it's safe." Huang Shouyi said, "Dad, don't forget, my son is doing business with the Japanese, and now the entire southern Anhui is already the territory of the Japanese, our old Huang family has the Japanese as the backstage, who dares to blow up the thorns?" Whoever dares to blow up and stab his son will be doomed. β
"Japanese?" Huang Shixun's brows immediately frowned, and he said in a deep voice, "Although the Japanese are powerful, I'm afraid they can't control our Meizhen, right?" β
"How so?" Huang Shouyi said, "Before returning to Meizhen, my son went to Pukou and met with Kameda Taijun, the commander of the Pukou Gendarmerie, Kameda Taijun said that within three days, troops will be sent to occupy Puxian and the surrounding market towns, of course, our Meizhen is included, dad, the imperial army will establish a maintenance association after occupying Meizhen, if your old man wants to be the maintenance president, my son thinks that you had better gather the squires in the town and the family members of the Black Dragon Society, Yiguan Road and Hongmen to discuss the welcome. β
"Sustain the president?" Huang Shixun's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly.
Huang Shixun is a traditional Chinese landlord, the concept of the country is very weak, but the concept of nationality is very strong, to put it bluntly, the distinction between Han and Yi is obvious, the Japanese belong to the barbarians in his eyes, and now Meizhen is under the rule of barbarians, Huang Shixun is emotionally unacceptable, but because Huang Shouyi has just returned home, so he suppressed it and did not have an immediate attack.
But even if he didn't have a seizure on the spot, Huang Shixun didn't want to talk to his son anymore, so he got up and said, "Okay, let's talk about this later, you should be tired when you come back from afar, go down and rest first." β
After speaking, Huang Shixun left without looking back, leaving Huang Shouyi to look at each other.
Huang Shouzhi is an unsuccessful person, and he does not have such a strong national concept as Huang Shixun, so he asked at the moment: "Second brother, if my father becomes the chairman of Meizhen, what are the benefits?" β
"Of course there are benefits." Huang Shouyi said, "If Dad becomes the maintenance chairman of Meizhen, then Daddy will have the final say on all the big and small things in Meizhen, but you can tell me, is this a benefit?" β
"Can't you?" Huang Shouzhi said, "The Black Dragon Society, Yiguan Dao and Hongmen Ken agreed? β
"Black Dragon Society? One Run Road? Hongmen? What are they? Huang Shouyi said disdainfully, "In front of the Imperial Japanese Army, they are not P." β
