Jian Bing went to find Li Yaoting first, but the Li Mansion also changed its owner, there were sentries standing at the door, the door was like a city, and the guests gathered, and the people who lived in the posture were also the receiving officers from Chongqing.

I had no choice but to look for Mu Yichen again, but when I came to Mu's house, the building was empty, the gate was sealed, and the yard was messy, like a tornado.

Jianbing and Lin Wenjing, two women, were very inconvenient to drag their luggage, so they went to the Bund to find a hotel to settle in, but all the hotels were full, and it was said that the guests were high-ranking officials from the rear.

Friends and acquaintances can't find it, and they can't even solve the problem of a place to live, Lin Wenjing proposed to go to Nanshi to find his stepmother, Jian Bing thought for a while and agreed, the two came to Nanshi in a rickshaw, and searched for a lot before finding Aunt Mi in a Shikumen residence.

There are five families living in Shikumen, the Mi family lives in the pavilion, the space is small, it is dark, Lin Wenjing almost got into it, Aunt Mi is over sixty years old, gray hair, thin body, when she saw her stepdaughter visiting, her spirit immediately got better, pulled her Balabala and asked non-stop, tears flowed down as she spoke, she hadn't seen her son Wenlong for eight years.

Seeing that Aunt Mi was so embarrassed, Lin Wenjing was secretly sad, looked around, and saw no trace of her grandmother, so she asked where her grandmother went.

"Alas, your grandmother died of illness the year before last, and she was still thinking about Wenlong when she was dying." Aunt Mi picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

While chatting, Mi Jiafu and his wife came back, and when they saw the visit of their relatives, they hurriedly piled up a smile to greet him, Jian Bing asked him about the recent situation in Shanghai, Mi Jiafu came to the spirit, and talked loudly, saying that the world is now more chaotic than when the Japanese were there, and there are people everywhere, as long as they fancy something, regardless of whether it is indiscriminate, they will first make people traitors, the house will be confiscated, the factory will be sealed, and people will be imprisoned.

"Receiving the fat flowing oil of the big staff, paying attention to the five sons of Dengke, gold, houses, cars, tickets, women, tsk, it would be nice if I could follow on an errand, even if I ran errands." The Mi family's rich eyebrows danced, and it was difficult to hide the envy.

The little aunt said: "If you don't want anything else, it's good if you can arrange a job for Xiaoshan." ”

Xiaoshan is the son of Mi Jiafu, who has no serious job in his twenties and has been wandering outside, Lin Wenjing has heard Aunt Mi mention it just now, no matter what, it is also her own relative, so she admitted: "Okay, I want to find a way." ”

Mi Jiafu said: "Great, let's go, I'll invite you to go down to the restaurant." He said loudly, but his eyes looked at his wife.

The little aunt said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, there is no overnight rice at home, the rules set by the central government, two hundred reserve notes for one yuan of fiat currency, the family originally didn't have much savings, and now it's even more fine." ”

Lin Wenjing saw that her little aunt's hands were bare, the gold ring and the golden slipper were gone, and knew that the situation of the Mi family was indeed very miserable, so she immediately took out a stack of dollar bills and said, "Take these and use them first." ”

The little aunt was about to pick it up, but was snatched away by Aunt Mi, so she had to say, "Let's wait for Xiaoshan to come back together." ”

Mi Jiafu waved his hand: "Don't wait for this little red guy, Allah will go first." ”

The family came to the restaurant on the street, sprinkled more than a dozen dishes, all of which were eaten by the Mi family, Jian Bing and Lin Wenjing only moved their chopsticks slightly, and ate eight bowls of rice for this meal. ”

After eating, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, the Mi family house was small and naturally could not live, so they could only temporarily store their luggage, the two went to the street to find a restaurant, and they were walking aimlessly by the Huangpu River, when suddenly a luxury car stopped in front of them, and a man in a suit came down, smiling and calling him an aunt.

Lin Wenjing recognized it as her younger brother's elementary school classmate Shen Kai, and said curiously: "Aren't you in charge of radio business in Chongqing, why did you come to Shanghai?" ”

Shen Kai said: "Isn't this a victory, go home to visit relatives, two aunts, where are you going." ”

Jianbing said: "We are looking for a place to live, we can't go back to home, what kind of world." ”

Shen Kai said: "Could it be that Uncle Chen's mansion is also occupied?" ”

"yes, how do you know?"

"Don't mention it, my shop's shop has also been seized, and these receivers are simply robberies and lawless! But it doesn't matter, the two aunts will stay at my house first, and I will help ask tomorrow which one dares to touch Uncle Chen's house without opening his eyes. ”

Lin Wenjing and Jian Bing got into Shen Kai's car, and drove to a villa on Xiafei Road in the original French Concession to stop, the yard was very large, the trees and flowers were luxuriant, and there were lawns and tennis courts behind the small European-style western-style buildings, Lin Wenjing couldn't help but be surprised, Shen Kai's family opened a north-south goods shop, and it was just a solid family, how could she afford to live in such a luxurious bungalow, but she soon understood.

Shen Kai is also an official from Chongqing who received enemy and counterfeit assets.

The next morning, Shen Kai made a few phone calls and said with a smile: "It's solved, two aunts, let's go over together after lunch at lunch." ”

Jian Bing said: "Don't bother, let's hurry back and clean up, the master is about to come back from Japan." ”

Shen Kai said: "Okay, I'll send you over." ”

Driving to the Chen Mansion, the family who occupied the house was long gone, the house was cleaned inside and out, spotless, the wooden floor was waxed, the woolen carpet was covered, the walls were hung with ancient paintings and calligraphy, the furniture was also new, the curtains were silk, and the faucets in the bathroom were gold-plated, which was even more luxurious than when they left.

"That's not good." Lin Wenjing said.

Shen Kai smiled: "Auntie, it's all like this, there's nothing wrong with it, when we weren't in Shanghai, the traitors occupied our house and bought some belongings, so let's treat it as rent." ”

Jian Bing thought of the missing Li Yaoting, so he said: "Xiao Shen, you have great powers, help your aunt inquire about two people, Li Yaoting and Mu Yichen, why can't they find anyone." ”

Shen Kai frowned: "Both of these people have been characterized as traitors, Li Yaoting absconded, Mu Yichen was arrested and locked up in Tilanqiao, this case is not my responsibility, I'm afraid it's not good to interfere." ”

Jian Bing knew that it was not good to trouble others too much, and said, "Thank you, Nong, let's sit together when the master comes back." ”

Shen Kai said: "I have today, all rely on Uncle Chen's help, these are all things that should be done, the world in Shanghai has been very chaotic recently, I helped you find two old mothers, a janitor, turn around and let them come over, the two aunts have passed by, and if they can't change again, now they lack everything, but there is no shortage of people." ”

Jian Bing and Lin Wenjing thanked Shen Kai again, sent Shen Kai away, and sat in the palatial living room, unexpectedly giving birth to a strange feeling.

Shanghai, which seems to be the same drunken Shanghai as before, seems to have changed something.

The next day, Chen Zikun flew from Japan, the special plane landed at Hongqiao Airport, and the light car Jian Cong returned home, listened to the two ladies talk about the situation in Shanghai, and couldn't help but be anxious, Li Yaoting and Mu Yichen are his old friends for more than 20 years, and nothing can happen.

But Chen Zikun had no way to start, the Anti-Japanese War for eight years was equivalent to reshuffling the cards, and now he was in power from all walks of life, and his relationship was useless, so he had to use the military commander Shen Kai to make a little connection, and spent ten big sticks, and finally revoked Li Yaoting's wanted warrant, and released Mu Yichen from Tilanqiao Prison under the pretext of his relationship.

The old friends reunited, and they were embarrassed, and Chen Zikun asked Li Yaoting what his plans were.

"I want to go back to Beiping to see, after 25 years in Shanghai, it's like a dream in Nanke, it's time to be sober." Li Yaoting has lost a lot of weight, and he has lost all the enthusiasm he had back then, and is more like a weathered middle-aged man.

Mu Yichen was also a lot depressed, his face was full of stubble, he kept drinking with a wine glass, and tears rolled down his eyes: "The Anti-Japanese War was won, but those of us who stuck behind the enemy suffered and were beaten into traitors, but those real traitors turned into receivers, what is the truth!" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Don't think about that, it's okay if people are fine, now this stage must be very chaotic, all kinds of waste to be revived, it will be fine in a while, I think you might as well go to Jiangdong to do your old job, let's start the industry again." ”

Mu Yichen said: "That's it, I don't want to stay in this sad place in Shanghai." ”

……

From the northeast to Hainan Island, the whole of China was busy receiving, the Soviets transported all the factory machinery and railway locomotives in the three eastern provinces back to China, the Soviet Red Army suffered very little losses in this battle, and gained a lot, but the Nationalist Government suffered, and finally survived until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and the biggest piece of cake was bitten by the Russians.

It is said that the north is not very peaceful, the Eighth Route Army and the National Army have clashed many times for receiving, *** is rushing to the northeast, trying to receive this largest industrial base in China, the old Zhang family father and son have been operating for more than 20 years, and the Japanese have been operating for more than ten years, even if they are plucked by the Red Army, the remaining leftovers are also considerable.

Chen Zikun predicts that if a civil war breaks out, the northeast will be the main battlefield, but his own porridge has not yet blown cold, and he can't take care of things that far away, Jiangdong is his territory, and he must firmly grasp it.

Before leaving, Chen Zikun asked Shen Kai to find his brother-in-law Yan Qingyu, he disappeared after the surrender of Japan, and at the same time there was also the king of the Imperial Ryu, but Shen Kai said that he could not do anything: "I am also looking for them, but Brother Yan is elusive, it is really difficult to find a trace, Uncle Chen, please rest assured, he will definitely be fine." ”

Back to Jiangdong Provincial City, Fenglin Road Mansion was cleaned up, during the Anti-Japanese War it was the residence of the Japanese general, except for planting a lot of cherry blossoms, there was not much movement, Chen Zikun asked people to transplant the cherry blossom trees to the park, restore the original appearance here.

In view of the chaotic reception situation in Shanghai, Chen Zikun was afraid that his subordinates would do such nonsense in Jiangdong, but Shuangxi was not around, there was no trustworthy person, and after thinking about it, he thought of a available person.

Liu Ting's eldest brother Liu Xiaoyong, graduated from Jiangdong Military Academy, has been fighting on the front line of resistance against Japan, fighting bravely, upright and selfless, which can be of great use.

Chen Zikun called Liu Xiaoyong to his office, and Deputy Regiment Commander Liu stood tall in military uniform, leggings and leather shoes, and a military hat in his hand.

"Xiao Yong, there is something for you to do...... Chen Zikun told him his intentions, and finally asked him: "Is there any difficulty?" ”

"Report to the chief, promise to complete the mission!" Liu Xiaoyong replied loudly with his heels.
