Forty-five: All bought
Wang Mingming met Aunt Li a few days before the fall of Nanjing, and Aunt Li brought her here. She and Aunt Li can talk very well, and they both hate to meet too late. Wang Mingming thought of Boss Li's surname Li, and she was pleasantly surprised. He must be Aunt Li's son.
The door opened, and the porter said with a smile on his face, "The young master is back." Boss Li instructed him: "Go and report that the lady's guest has arrived." ”
Wang Mingming recognized the porter at a glance. The porter bowed to Wang Mingming and said, "It's a distinguished guest, I'll report it." He hurried in. Boss Li helped Wang Mingming into the courtyard step by step. She had just sat down in the living room, and Aunt Li came out of the inner room. She smiled and said, "It's a distinguished guest, please take a seat." Serve tea. Wang Mingming stood up and looked at her carefully, he hadn't seen her for a few years, and she hadn't changed at all. It's still that robust.
Aunt Li said to Wang Mingming with a smile: "Oh, the owner, you sit down." Jianting mentioned you to me many times, and he said that it is amazing that you have cultivated such a large area of land in the mountains by yourself. Also say that you are a survivor of the Holocaust. It was not easy to survive at that time. You're a great proprietor, I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but it's just inconvenient. Meet today, how do I think your figure, your manners, and your eyes look familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere. I was very impressed, but I can't remember it. ”
Her words surprised Wang Mingming. She thought: Aunt Li really thinks I'm familiar or polite. She wished people here would recognize her. I can still remember the beautiful image of her past.
She gestured and greeted Aunt Li in a hoarse voice. Aunt Li didn't react much to her voice, maybe Boss Li had already given her mother a vaccination. She didn't ask Wang Mingming's background in detail, and they talked about it very well. It will be cooked in a while. Aunt Li saw that the nanny was not there, so she got up and added tea to Wang Mingming's teacup and said, "It's very warm in this room, you might as well untie your scarf." ”
Wang Ming shook his head embarrassedly.
Aunt Li asked: "Boss, let me take the liberty of asking, is your leg born or injured." Wang Mingming said plainly: "It was the devil who cut it with a saber." ”
Aunt Li's face was suddenly covered with sadness, and she sighed and said, "The Japanese devils have committed a heinous crime in Nanjing, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it. They don't know how many innocent people they killed. In those days, the streets of Nanjing were full of compatriots who had been killed by devils. The air was filled with the smell of blood and the rotting of corpses. I still feel terrified when I think back to the days of the Holocaust. ”
Boss Li sat there respectfully to accompany them. Wang Mingming is now his mother's honored guest, so he naturally has to respect three points. Boss Li originally studied in Tokyo, Japan, to study pharmacy. After graduating from university, he opened a company in Tokyo with Japanese called Oriental Co., Ltd., which produced and sold medicines. He is the chairman of the board and the general manager. The company is doing a lot, and he is very famous in Japan.
On the day of the fall of Nanjing, he was escorted to Nanjing by a senior officer of the Japanese army and returned home. That officer was in charge of the army's medical affairs in the army's material department, and Boss Li had business dealings with him for several years. They know each other well. In Aunt Li's words, Jianting had already bought him. Jianting is his business partner and his personal treasure trove. He is Jianting's bodyguard.
In fact, Boss Li bought many departments of the Japanese army, taking the devil at the central gate as an example, at the beginning, the devil was very strict with Boss Li's car, and later Boss Li dredged up the relationship, sent goods and money, and even those soldiers got benefits, and the devil naturally didn't check his car.
Boss Li rushed into the house as soon as he arrived under the protection of the senior Japanese officer, and they saw the Japanese officer turn around and go out. Boss Li came to the house one step late, and this home was ruined.
The devil asked Boss Li to be a translator for the general of the headquarters. He didn't want to do it. He is not a traitor. He said he was in the pharmaceutical business, and his company in Japan was going to open a branch in China. The Japanese army also relied on him in this regard. There is no way to take him.
People near his house who didn't leave knew that Boss Li was a Japanese expert, but he was not a traitor, and they all took refuge with him when he came back. There are also people who come in over the wall. Boss Li sometimes wears a Japanese kimono and drives a car to pick up people and take refuge at home. He said to Aunt Li: "Our power is limited, and we can save one person." "Boss Li's house is full of people. At night, everyone sat on the floor and slept.
Aunt Li said to Wang Mingming: "I heard that there is a place called Straw Shoe Ridge near where you live, which seems to be by the river. The devils killed tens of thousands of people at once, most of them prisoners. These soldiers of the national army who laid down their arms, as well as the police and the ordinary people who fled. What a terrible death! ”
Wang Mingming nodded, indicating that there was such a thing.
Aunt Li said: "Seven or eight months after the massacre, Nanjing was calm. At that time, there was nothing to ask for in Nanjing City, the most lacking was vegetables, and at the beginning, the devils went to the field to rob the people's vegetables, and when they robbed them all, they had no vegetables to eat. Their headquarters in Nanjing then ordered Jianting's trading company, the pharmaceutical branch, to make vegetables for the headquarters, but Jianting was unwilling to do it, so they used the excuse that a truckload of medicines was gone. said that Jianting collaborated with the enemy and wanted to arrest him. ”
Aunt Li suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Later, Jianting asked his superiors, and the superiors agreed. I think it's okay to think that this is okay, it is very difficult for the people here to eat vegetables, and the problem of eating vegetables can be solved for the people here. I think there's a deeper meaning from the superiors, and we don't know it. Besides, we know that there is no benefit. There will be trouble. ”
Wang Mingming was not surprised by what Aunt Li said, before the fall of Nanjing, Aunt Li told her that her son was a person who did things for the country. Now the Japanese army wants the trading company to serve the headquarters of the devils and supply them with vegetables, and of course the superiors must agree to such a thing. What the intentions of the superiors were, only Boss Li knew.
Aunt Li said: "Because of the massacre, there were many fewer people in Nanjing, fewer people planted vegetables, and the Japanese soldiers robbed vegetables, so the common people were unwilling to grow vegetables. Jianting's business is not good. Jianting and they couldn't get food at first, the business was very light, and the little food he got was not enough for the bandit leaders of the Devil's Command, and the Japanese occupation army was very dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was deliberately mischievous. Since Jianting met you, he received food from you. People in the neighborhood have food to eat. The people are very grateful to him, and you have brought him good luck. What's more, his work is in full swing. ”
It's time for lunch. Aunt Li asked Wang Mingming to untie the scarf again. Wang Ming was obviously not good at pushing it again, but he had to say, "I can solve it." But you have to be prepared, my face was cut by the devil's saber, and I am afraid that you will be scared when you see it. ”
Boss Li was surprised and said, "What! Was it killed by devils? I didn't see it at all for so long. I was too careless. Aunt Li said: "The owner, it doesn't matter, I am a person who was born and died on the battlefield, I have seen all kinds of tragic situations, I am not afraid, and Jianting will not be afraid." You open the scarf and I'll see what the devil has hurt you. ”
Wang Mingming opened the scarf, and Aunt Li said in surprise: "These beasts hurt you like this." She carefully looked at the wound on Wang Mingming's face and touched the scar. Boss Li also came over to take a closer look and said, "This wound needs to be retreated, and the face needs to be facelifted." It's not something that can be done in a normal hospital. ”
Aunt Li agreed, she said: "At that time, it would not have been like this if the wound was treated. Her wound strained her muscles when she scarred, affecting her vocal cords, and she had to speak so hard. It was not easy for her to survive with such a serious injury. She is also a great person because of this, and when the war is over, you must send her to an advanced country for treatment. ”
Boss Li said, "Mom, I will definitely do it." ”
