After the press conference, Ni Hua, with the cooperation of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce, launched a fundraising activity in New York.

At this time, unlike the year, the U.S. economy had recovered, the employment rate and factory operating rate had increased significantly, and Roosevelt's New Deal had achieved great results.

Ni Hua and Han Qing led overseas Chinese volunteers to raise donations on Fifth Avenue, Wall Street and other places for several days in a row. Ordinary Americans are full of sympathy for the Anti-Japanese War in China, and Ni Hua has the names of Oriental Angel, Mrs. Liu Yimin, and the cousin of the three sisters of the Song family, and has great influence and appeal, and American newspapers have hyped Ni Hua as a heroine, and her posture is more famous than that of a Broadway star. Therefore, it is not so much a fundraiser as it is to show the demeanor of the Angels of the East and the female soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, because the people who donated money have formed a long line, and even the police inspectors in New York have come to donate money and maintain order. The momentum was so great that the Japanese special agents of the Japanese Consulate in New York had no chance to secretly kill Ni Hua.

After a busy day, when she returned to her residence, those overseas Chinese volunteers talked happily, Ni Hua was so tired that she lay down on the bed to rest, and Hanqing accompanied her in the house. Safety is not to be considered, Minhua Company has developed in the United States in the past few years, has a certain strength, and has enough manpower. The U.S. law also allows public citizens to wear guns, and the guards sent by the Minhua Public Parks Division and overseas Chinese volunteers are enough to ensure Ni Hua's safety. Lying on the bed, Ni Hua missed her husband a little, asked Han Qing to take her suitcase, took out the oil painting that Liu Yimin painted for her in Huaqing Pond, Xi'an, and looked at it quietly.

Han Qing's age is a little younger than Ni Hua, a body of martial arts, smart eyes, seeing Ni Hua looking at the portrait stupidly, although I don't know who painted this painting, but I also know that Ni Hua has something on his mind.

Han Qing said softly: "Sister, if we don't go to the street tomorrow to raise donations, you can rest at home for a day and let your body recover." ”

Ni Hua was taken aback, looked at Han Qing, and said, "Silly girl, the fundraising situation is so good, how can you rest?" If we are tired for a day, we may raise tens of thousands of dollars, so how many more things can we buy.7 We can't rest, and we will continue as usual tomorrow. Han Qing has not been to the base of the Eighth Route Army, let alone Liu Yimin, and when he heard Ni Hua say this, he said: "No matter how much money you raise, it is useless, and you can't transport it back if you buy something." The ghost has sealed the coastline of the Central Territory, and the materials of the National Government are not lucky, how can we transport them back? “

This statement aroused Ni Hua's sadness more and more, put away the oil painting, sat up, and thought about his thoughts silently.

After all, it is a young husband and wife, and if they leave suddenly, no matter how strong they are, they will think about it when they are free. No matter how good Ni Hua is, she is also a woman, a young woman who is separated from her husband, and all she has in her mind is the image of her husband. As soon as Han Qing said that the things could not be shipped back, Ni Hua remembered Liu Yimin who was far away in northern Jiangsu, and he didn't know what he was doing now, whether he had eaten it, whether his clothes were dirty or not, whether he had shaved his beard, whether he had fought a big battle, whether he would be injured. Thinking about it again, he was pregnant, and for the sake of the motherland's war of resistance, he had to leave his family and husband to travel to the United States, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and I didn't know if he would miss himself. Well, thinking about it, the corners of my eyes became wet.

Although Han Qing has never been in love, she is educated, and when she studied in the United States, she watched movies and musicals, and saw many love stories. Ni Hua's scene fell in her eyes, and Han Qing immediately thought of this beautiful Oriental Angel Sifan and Lover. She and Ni Hua traveled from Chongqing to the United States during this time, getting along day and night, never leaving, and they knew each other very well, so they teased Ni Hua and said: "Sister, do you miss your brother-in-law?" You don't have to think about it, maybe he's been fascinated by other women and forgot about you. ”

This was meant to be a joke, and it should not be taken seriously. But Han Qing didn't understand the twists and turns of Ni Hua and Liu Yimin's love story, and only knew that Ni Hua was the wife of Liu Yimin, the head instructor of the Eighth Route Army. When she said this, it was a hornet's nest, and the figures of Tang Xingying and the two children immediately appeared in front of Ni Hua's eyes, and the figures of Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing, and Huang Wei appeared, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Han Qing is a young girl, and there are not such complicated things in her mind, seeing Ni Hua crying, she is still teasing: "Sister, why are you crying?" Don't worry, if your brother-in-law runs away with someone else, I will be responsible for finding another one for you to ensure that you are satisfied. ”

Ni Hua ignored her, sobbed and cried for a while, stopped crying, went to wash his face, and sat down at the table and began to write a letter to Liu Yimin. After writing for a while, I felt that I was a little unproductive, and I missed him after being away for a long time. Besides, what's the use of writing a letter now, Liu Yimin can't accept it. Ni Hua tore off the almost full page of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the paper basket.

The paper was thrown away, but Ni Hua's mood was not calm, and Han Qing's words aroused her sadness and made her a little restless. After thinking about it, it is better to send a telegram to Liu Yimin, report on his work after arriving in the United States, and ask him to find a way to ensure that the materials to be purchased in the future will be transported back to the base area.

Ni Hua sat down and began to make a report. Originally, she was going to report her work first, but she didn't listen to her fingers, and she came up and said, "Dear people, my love: At this moment, it is 8 o'clock in the evening in the United States, and there are already thousands of lights outside the window. My dear love, I miss you. “

Knocking here, Ni Hua suddenly felt a little shy, his face flew red, and the white and slender swan's neck was also dyed with a hint of red. Zhang Qihanqing has never talked about the object, the love has not been opened, I don't know why she blushes, and she is still standing aside and looking stupid! Otherwise, our angel of the East will be in disgrace.

Blushing for a while, Ni Huaxin continued to knock again: "Dear people, I am gone, but my heart remains by your side." I miss you all the time, your black jewel-like eyes, your handsome and resolute face, your lips, your broad chest and strong arms, the unforgettable Spring Festival we spent in Huaqingchi, Xi'an, the scene when we met again in Qingdao, and the words you said to me when we got married. Well, you want to shed tears, and you think about your heartache. I want to be in your body, and I will never be separated from you. ”

Knocking on this, it seemed that he felt that he was too numb, so that the comrades were a little embarrassed to see it, Ni Hua hurriedly reported the process of going from Chongqing to the United States, and then reported on the holding of a press conference, saying that the press conference had received strong support from Mr. Salisberg, and Mr. Salzberg was very satisfied with the gift given to him, that air conditioning was installed in the large conference room of the "New York Times", that all the reporters of the American Beida news media were present at the meeting, and that the procedures of the press conference were carried out in full accordance with Liu Yimin's design. She had all the material at her disposal, and nothing had gone wrong. The New York radio station began broadcasting that night, and all major newspapers and periodicals in the United States held special and supplemental issues the next day to view the news of the press conference.

After the report, Ni Hua knocked: "Dear people, my old master Mr. Doug is very curious about you and wants to meet you and see what kind of man his proud brother is marrying. I have invited Mr. Doug to visit China after our victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and have assured him that my husband and children and I will accompany him on a tour of the Great Wall and the gardens of the Jiangnan Water Town. "This telegram is long enough, and it is a mixture of business and private affairs, which is a bit wordy.

No one could have imagined that Ni Hua, who is usually like a fairy, deduced the story of the angel dripping into the world, and began to be coquettish: "Dear people, my love, at this time, due to pregnancy, I have no appetite, I can't eat well, and my waist has lost a circle, so I want you to cook something delicious for me." The raw Shih Tzu tongue you made last time was so good that I want to eat it when I think about it. When I go back, you have to treat me well, make me good food every day, and it will not be the same every day. Otherwise, if I am too thin, the baby in my belly will be malnourished. You also have to accompany me to see the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful, but unfortunately I have never been there. You are not allowed to take anyone with me, and if I go back and find that you have taken someone else, I will not allow you to touch me. When I'm not around, you have to think about me seventeen or eighteen times a day, as you say in the little song you sang, and think about how to be nice to me and make me happy. If it weren't for the comrades who received the telegram and laughed while watching it, it is estimated that no one in this world would have imagined that the angels of the East in the eyes of Americans and the red Bodhisattva in the eyes of soldiers would also have the side of coquettishness and jealousy, which is no different from the daughter of an ordinary family

When he knocked here, Ni Hua felt a sigh in his heart, wondering if his husband was fighting with the Japanese invaders now, where could he take care of himself. Even if he goes back, I'm afraid he won't have time to stay with him longer. Next, Ni Hua began to carefully flail Liu Yimin, and when he sleeps at night, he should pay attention to putting a cloth on his stomach and not getting cold; What to eat well, without eating, marching and fighting without strength: what to talk to comrades with a kind attitude, don't say foul language at every turn: what must pay attention to safety, don't let the small ghost spy take advantage of the loopholes; Don't be reckless on the battlefield, pay attention to concealment: what clothes are dirty should be washed frequently, don't let the soldiers feel that the division commander is not good at internal affairs; What clothes are torn, clean and mend, don't let the flesh come out. Wait, wait, it's a bit of a rambling. Tears flowed while tapping, and by the time the telegram was finished, Ni Hua had already burst into tears again.

Han Qing brought another basin of water and asked Ni Hua to wash his face, and the two of them went to bed to rest. When lying on the bed, Ni Hua suddenly remembered that there was one thing that had not yet been explained to Liu Yimin, so he got up and reported again. This time, Ni Hua told Liu Yimin to take the time to go to the field war hospital and the logistics headquarters of the foreign aid to China family to have a discussion, to care about their lives, to let them work with peace of mind, and not to chill their hearts.

After sending the telegram, Ni Hua laughed, what happened to him, he was not like a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, but like a little daughter-in-law of an ordinary family. Well, I think about who my man is, that is the commander of the army, a lot of staff officers and guards, where can I starve him and lose him!

Thinking of this, this silly girl finally stopped thinking about it anymore and went to bed to rest with a smile.
