The third volume of the aftermath of the European line of Chinese labor love

Talk to Wallace

The Chinese worker who arrived in France failed to bring his wife home

Make an appointment to meet Gu Weijun. Woodrow.

On the William, looking at London, it faded away.

"Stoney, I didn't expect that seven years later, we would meet in such a way. What a change! ”

The tide is long, Wallace, standing on the bow of the boat, remembering his friend Lowell? Mu said with emotion: "If Mu knew that you had today, he would be very happy." ”

"Yes! He's a nice guy and I miss him a lot. Situ Nan replied.

Are they talking about Situ Nan's cousin, the original Titanic's first mate Rowell? Solemn. Wallace was also a crew member on the Titanic at the time, and he had a very good relationship with Mu, so he was also familiar with Situ Nan. Situ Nan also went to Mu's tomb when he returned to England this time.

"You're a lot older." Situ Nan looked at Wallace with pale sideburns.

"Hmm. I've been a bit worried about these years, but now I'm free. Wallace smiled heartily, "It's you, who has become a rich man." Mary wrote to me about your care for them, thank you, Stoney. ”

"Thank me?"

"Yes. As a good friend of Mu, I have not been able to do something, and I feel a little ashamed. Now they're doing well in Los Angeles, and I'm relieved. Wallace said.

Since the Titanic parted, the two have not seen each other for seven years.

After Situ Nan made his career, he wrote to Wallace and invited Wallace to California, but everyone had their own ambitions, and Wallace still chose his favorite HNA career.

During the war, Wallace temporarily joined the British Royal Navy as a transport captain. However, he has now retired and become a passenger on the William. From the very beginning he was fascinated by the William, and when he had time, he used the cockpit to make cameo appearances as some captains.

??

After crossing the stormy England, the William finally arrived in the French port city of Le Havre in the gray dawn.

Lehavre is the second largest city in the Normandy region of northern France after Rouen, located at the mouth of the Seine River and bordering the English Channel, and is known for its important shipping status as the "outer port of Paris", with a unique position in the French economy.

Situ Nan woke up relatively early, and when he went to France for the first time after being reborn, he looked curiously from the window. Outside, the fog is foggy, the buildings of the port loom in the background, and the whole city is shrouded in a thin gray tone. As the sun rises over the sea, the faint morning light blends with the mist in the sky, giving people a sense of unreality and unreality, but at the same time feeling the warmth brought by the touch of golden yellow at sunrise.

This feeling was familiar, and Situ Nan finally remembered the famous oil painting "Impression? Sunrise is set in the port of Le Havre.

Unlike London, which felt gloomy and depressing not long ago, although he had not yet entered Paris, Situ Nan immediately felt that this was a country full of artistic beauty.

It seems that the art business here should be good, Situ Nan thought to himself as the gentle waters of the Seine slowly flow into the Atlantic.

Gradually, the harbor got busy, and some ships began to set sail on fire. Situ Nan was eating breakfast leisurely on board the Wilhelm while looking out the window at the port of Le Havre.

At this time, a group of special passengers came to the port, all of them were men, with black hair and black eyes, strong bodies, somewhat dark complexions, and carrying bags and luggage and other things.

"Young master, they are all compatriots who have returned to China. According to the regulations, these people will return to Shandong and other places in the next two years. Lin Yimin explained.

"Oh! Have you arranged this? ”

Situ Nan asked.

"Hmm. According to the news from the Nanyang Foundation, the Chinese volunteers have already arrested some of the workers, and a ship from the Meihua Company will come to pick them up next month. They go to the South Seas and then into our farms and bases.

"How many people are there?" Situ Nan asked again.

"About 10,000 more."

Lin Yimin looked at Situ Nan's slightly furrowed brows and explained: "Time is too tight, we have developed a backbone of less than 500 people in two years. Most of the workers are recruited by us in the name of commercial development. Although we provide good treatment, most people are anxious to return to their hometowns, so they are reluctant to work in other places. ”

There is another point that Lin Yimin did not say, that is, after working in France for two years, most of the Chinese workers have saved a lot of savings, and if they save it, it is enough for them to go home and buy a few acres of land to marry a wife and have children. With money in his pocket, he is naturally not like he had nothing at the beginning and was forced by life to venture out of the sea. In the eyes of most people, Nanyang is a place with a dangerous miasma, and they will not go out unless they have to.

"Ten thousand?" Situ Nan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, thinking: These Chinese laborers have been trained by Britain and France, and their bodies are somewhat tainted with the smell of world war gunpowder, which is much better than the farmers recruited from China.

"The number of people is a little less, at least thirty or forty thousand!"

Situ Nan shook his head and said, "This matter should take into account the impact, not be too loud, and at the same time do it cleverly." You can use some other means if necessary! As long as people come to our place, we still don't have the final say! ”

Situ Nan knew that it was impossible to put those 100,000 or 200,000 Chinese laborers in Nanyang, but 10,000 was too little. In fact, most of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers did not live the good life they dreamed of after returning to China.

The government's desire to promote social progress did not materialize when the hundreds of thousands of trained workers trained in France returned home to build the country's industrial construction. If these Chinese workers gradually disappear in history after returning to China, it is better to use it??

Situ Nan thought a little shamelessly.

"I know what to do!" Lin Yimin said. As long as he passed on Situ Nan's hints to the Nanyang Foundation and the Meihua Company, those people would naturally know what to do.

Human abduction, smuggling, and immigration are easy for the US-China Company to handle, as long as the transportation tasks are undertaken in the name of the California Shipping Company or the US-China Company, and after the ship arrives in the South Seas, it is enough to send people to pretend to be "pirates" to hijack people.

While they were watching the scenery from the boat, there was a commotion outside the port, and many people gathered around.

Situ Nan saw that a strong Chinese worker seemed to have a dispute with the port staff, and saw the man hugging a large and long quilt tightly, looking very excited, and not letting the staff check it.

"Why! This is Lao Tzu's quilt! If you don't break the law, why don't you let Lao Tzu get on the boat! ”

This scene happened not far from the William, and Situ Nan faintly heard the man's roar. Despite the northern accent, Situ Nan could still distinguish -

"Ah Xin, it's okay to let them check it, the big guys are waiting to go home!" A man with glasses and a bit of Sven persuaded him.

"No! I just can't do it! No one can open it in this life! The man named Ah Xin ripped off his clothes with one hand, revealing a strong chest, and there was a long wound near his heart, which was shocking.

"Mr. Zhang, you told the French, Lao Tzu helped them to die, this wound was left by the fight with the Germans, let them behave well, let me go!" Ah Xin begged

Zhang Bangxian was stunned for a moment, looked at Ah Xin's pleading eyes, and went over to say something to the staff.

To introduce, Zhang Bangxian is a translator who has been in France for two years and has rich experience in dealing with the communication between the French and the Chinese workers, so this time he was sent to the port to assist the Chinese workers to board the ship and return to China.

After hearing this, the port staff shook their heads and insisted on checking the luggage of the Chinese workers.

In this way, the two sides were temporarily deadlocked. As the flow of people in the port gradually increased, after a while, the security guards had already come, and they took coercive measures, and subdued the man holding the quilt in three or two clicks.

The staff began to inspect the quilt that had fallen on the floor, well, it was a long bundle, and it looked the size of two quilts.

"No—"

Ah Xin struggled to prevent the staff from removing his quilt, but was pressed to the ground by three strong security guards, and had to scream in pain.

This was really a strange scene, even Situ Nan was curious about what was hidden in the bundle of quilts that made the man so tight.

At this time, Laura also came over.

"What are you looking at, dear?" When she came in, she saw Situ Nan and Lin Yimin staring out of the boat.

"Young grandmother, let's look at the compatriots who have returned to their hometowns on the dock! Huh-" Lin Yimin suddenly stopped when he said this, because he saw an unforgettable scene!

The quilt was unwrapped, but the contents were unexpected! Because-

A woman stands up from the covers!

I saw that this woman was in her twenties, about 1.6 meters, with long millet hair and a delicate face, she looked a little scared, but more sad, with two lines of crystal teardrops on her face, staring at Ah Xin, who was crushed to the ground not far away, rushed over, threw herself into Ah Xin's arms, and the two hugged their heads and cried!!

Hidden by the Tibetans?

It was a beautiful woman!

"Oh! Oh my God! It's incredible! Laura exclaimed.

She said all her thoughts.

Everyone present froze for a moment, silently looking at the pair of men and women who were hugging each other tightly.

"I see! No wonder! No wonder! Zhang Bangxian sighed again and again, he quietly moved to the head of the staff of the port, and pleaded: "Sir, is it okay?" Perfect them! As he spoke, he quietly shoved a handful into the staff member's pocket.

The man was also moved by the couple, he quietly looked at the value in his pocket, and his intention was moved, but when he turned his head and saw so many people, he hesitated, and finally shook his head and stuffed the money back to Zhang Bangxian.

Order in the port was slowly restored, and other Chinese laborers boarded the ship one after another, and they looked at Dai Chuanxin sympathetically.

Dai Chuanxin hugged the woman and stood aside, watching his compatriots walk past him one by one.

Leave?

Or stay?

His heart was painfully entangled, and it was difficult to choose!

As more and more teams boarded the ship, his heart became even more anxious, and beads of sweat continued to drip down.

As if sensing Dai Chuanxin's hesitation, the woman hugged Dai Chuanxin's tall body tightly, her eyes full of pleading.

Dai Chuanxin's heart ached-
