Chapter 4, Section 2, Anti-Japanese Struggle Needed Them
Two: They are needed to resist Japan
Aunt Yang and her family lived in a foreign company, not only did they eat and live for nothing, but Wang Mingming also paid them wages. They were very uneasy. They don't have any ability to make money, and they want to earn money from labor, so they have traveled to many places to know that it is not easy to find things to do outside. They think about it, and they think that there is a well in the backyard here, and the yard is also big. The house of the foreign bank is very high, and it is not a problem to cool clothes in the house even if it is rainy. It is very convenient to open a laundry, and they can pay rent and food to Wang Mingming when they have income. Nature lightened her load.
Sister-in-law Yang came to Wang Mingming to discuss the opening of the store. She said: "Owner, our family lives in your house, and you still pay us a salary, saying that it is the salary for looking at the house, but I always feel sorry for it. Now that you have no land, and you have no source of life, it is not a long-term solution to sit back and eat like this. I went to two schools to teach. But it's all full, and even substitute teachers are waiting in line. In the past few years, I have cultivated my physical strength by growing vegetables in the mountains. I want to open a laundry in a trading house and fight for food on my own. ”
Sister-in-law Yang opened a laundry. Wang Mingming understood her feelings. On the one hand, Sister-in-law Yang didn't understand the house, thinking that they were eating for nothing. On the other hand, there is nothing to do. It's uncomfortable to be idle. I'm not used to it these days. Especially when her plan to fight devils can't be realized, she feels very uncomfortable.
She thought for a while and said, "I'm not busy, little Japan is still crazy in front of me." The people of the puppet government should be more reactionary and more reactionary. These traitors extort and extort taxes and do all kinds of evil, and we have recruited these 'ghosts' when we open a store. They have eaten yours, and they have taken yours, and they will demand your life. If you don't do it, you will be killed.
These days, I've heard a lot of bosses who have been brought down by them. If you don't want to collapse, you have to take refuge in the devil. It's something neither you nor I want to do. Let's hide. Far away from them. You and Aunt Yang can help me take care of the house, don't think too much. Go back and go out as little as possible. I still have a way to live in front of me. My gold and silver ornaments are enough for us to eat.
"If your salary is not enough, I will add it to you, don't be afraid, I am the owner, and I can support you if I can afford to hire you." Sister-in-law Yang said: "I know the owner's personality. Over the years, we have followed the owner to farm, and the owner has treated us like their own relatives. We worked hard to repay our owners. It's different now. Even though you say that, I'm still very upset. You don't agree to open a store, for fear that it will be too public. I listen to you. I can not go out without going out. I really don't want to bow when I see a devil outside. I'm more afraid of being caught by devils. Owner, I must be optimistic about your foreign bank. When the Anti-Japanese War was won, I did business with the owner, and I knew that it was big business. You're going to give me a raise now, I don't want it. ”
Wang Mingming said: "It's okay if I don't give you a salary increase, I'll pay you for food, and I will eat three meals a day at your place in the future." This matter is settled. Sister-in-law Yang said happily: "Okay, I'm very happy to be able to cook for the owner, and I feel much better to be able to do things for the owner." Alas, it is better to live in the city than in the mountains. Carrying water and farming is carefree, and that good old days are gone. ”
Wang Mingming said: "Your words remind me, either so, my backyard here is a garden, and now it is deserted, so it is better for us to clean it up and grow vegetables." Don't look at the yard is not big, it is planted enough for us to eat. Sister-in-law Yang said, "Okay." Not only do I plant the vegetables in the backyard, but I also plant the flowers and plants in the front yard. I'm going to make this yard beautiful. ”
Sister-in-law Yang said that she would do it, she found a four-toothed rake and started to move, and Aunt Li came. She saw Wang Mingming and them planting vegetables in the backyard. She happily said, "Okay, I'm here to help too." Such a large yard can grow a lot of vegetables, and after the vegetables are planted, they can be sold if they can't be eaten. With that, she picked up bricks and tiles in the ground.
Wang Mingming said: "Aunt Li, you don't need to do it, you just give us guidance." Aunt Li said: "I am a layman when it comes to growing vegetables, and I don't understand anything." Not to mention mentoring. I can only do it for you, if I don't do a good job, you just don't criticize. ”
They laughed together. After everyone laughed, Aunt Li said, "I don't have anything to do at home, I'm very idle." I feel so comfortable that I am busy with life here, so don't stop me. I'm going to call someone tomorrow and tell him to clean up all the garbage from the back door and haul it away......"
Wang Mingming said: "Aunt Li, you can help me call people best, I really don't know where to call people." Aunt Li, I know that this is the first time you have done this kind of life when I see you working. You must have been Miss Kuo when you were young, and you could hold a brush in your hands, but you couldn't lift an oil bottle. ”
Aunt Li said, "You have eyesight. My mother's family is a wealthy businessman in Zhejiang. I'm the eldest lady in the family. When I was studying in France, I followed my boyfriend to join the League and fight against the Qing Dynasty. In the year of the Xinhai Revolution, I participated in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army attacking Nanjing, and I was a health soldier of the Left Route Army. I have told you in the past, I have fought and suffered, and I really have not done these lives. I'm going to learn from you, you used to be the eldest lady, where would you do this kind of work, and now you're an expert. ”
Wang Mingming said: "I am an expert there, a vegetable farmer. And I don't know much about growing vegetables. If you want to say that you have the ability or Aunt Li, in the late Qing Dynasty, the young people who opposed the Qing Dynasty were very wealthy, they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, they had endless tickets in their hands, and some of them were the children of high-ranking officials and nobles. The officials of the Qing Dynasty did not understand why they had a good life but wanted a revolution until they died. It is necessary to overthrow the Qing government. For the sake of ideals, for the sake of the republic, I don't even want my head.
"Your generation is really not simple, you have ended the rule of thousands of years of feudal dynasties in China and opened a new era. You bring the republic to the people of China. You have aroused the people to work hard for the rejuvenation of China. I used to be brave under your enlightenment, it was you who taught me how to face devils, and now I will continue to learn from you and be a warrior like you. ”
Boss Li is here. He saw his mother shout, "Mom." You're tidying up the yard, and it looks like you're going to grow vegetables. Aunt Li said: "Wang Mingming wants to open up here to grow vegetables, and I will join in the fun." Boss Li said: "It's good for Mom to come here to grow vegetables, talk, and move your tibia is good for physical and mental health." Their farm implements are with me, and tomorrow I will have them delivered. There was a lot of garbage piled up in the lotus pond in the middle of the yard, and someone I called in helped clean it up. Fill the pool with water. The proprietor can raise fish in it. ”
Aunt Li said, "Your suggestion is good. The lotus pond was cleaned up and I called the nanny to buy the fish fry. Count me as my support and contribution to Wang Mingming's career. In the future, I will use the water from the lotus pond to water the vegetables, and I will not even use fertilizer. The proprietors laughed together. Aunt Li said: "Jianting, there must be something wrong when you come back now." You've got something to do. You don't have to be with us. Boss Li said: "I came to the owner and have something to tell her." Boss, let's go inside and talk. ”
They came to the house and Boss Li said, "Boss, I have something to tell you, and I have another important thing to ask you for." Wang Mingming said: "Look at you, what's wrong today, so serious." The whole thing was changed. What does not help, I listen to you. Anything goes. ”
He said: "The Japanese journalist you asked me to find last time has a whereabouts. Wang Mingming took the conversation in surprise and asked, "Really." How is he now, where is he? Boss Li said: "Our united front attaches great importance to people like him, and we need them to resist Japan, and when our people found him in Nanyang, he was arrested because of the traitor's betrayal, and our people immediately organized a rescue, because it was very difficult in Nanyang." Then he was taken to Japan, and our men went to Japan to rescue him. But it was too late. He was killed. ”
