After returning to Nanjing, Zhao Tinghui pondered how to pass on this intention to his sister. My sister has gone to Kunming these days, saying that she wants to arrange for some things to be shipped back there.

Now that the war situation in Nanjing has been stabilized, in order to further weaken the strength of the faction in Wuhan, and also to stabilize the morale of the people and the army, he united with the elders of the Great Revolution such as Youren and proposed that another set of government teams in Wuhan be relocated back to Nanjing.

As a result, the Wuhan side proposed that the families of important central officials should be moved back to Nanjing one after another to stabilize the people's hearts, and other government agencies should be relocated back to Nanjing one after another.

Huang Ke knew that this was a delaying ploy by the Jiang faction, but he had no choice but to give up. So he proposed a one-year time limit, and the Wuhan government agencies should be relocated within this time limit. Each side backed down, and the matter was agreed. As an example, Huang Ke's family naturally had to move back to Nanjing.

In fact, before this, Huang Ke's family had moved back to Nanjing, but there were still a lot of items in the residence in Kunming, in order to avoid the truth, Huang Ke asked his wife Zhao Xiaowan to go to Kunming recently, sell some furniture on the spot, and then return the house there.

Before Zhao Tinghui returned to Nanjing, Zhao Xiaowan had already set off for Kunming. At first, Zhao Tinghui wanted to wait for her in Nanjing, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to Kunming in person, after all, he still had some assets over there, and besides, it seemed more sincere to go to Kunming in person.

Zhao Tinghui flew from Nanjing to Kunming in the afternoon of the same day by general civil aviation. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the state had established a civil aviation committee, and civil airports and air routes were built between major cities. As the war progresses, the Chinese Air Force and the U.S. Air Force have regained air supremacy, and civilian routes have been restored one after another, but flights are still relatively tight, and flying is still out of reach for most people.

However, a ticket is not a difficult thing for Zhao Tinghui, using the landline of the Huang Mansion to call the airline directly, or directly find Xu Shaozhou, the Minister of the Air Force, who is also the director of the Civil Aviation Commission, to get a ticket is a small matter of a few phone calls.

It was already the evening of the same day when he arrived in Kunming, and Zhao Tinghui went directly to his sister's residence in Kunming. Sister Zhao Xiaowan and nephew Huang Zhengzhong are at home and talking about the price of the deal, their house was later purchased by Zhao Xiaowan with the money of her brother's family, the upper and lower floors are nearly 200 square meters, there is a lawn courtyard behind the house, there is a gatehouse in front of the house, the furniture inside is newly added, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, they bought this courtyard with more than 90,000 legal currency, plus the furniture added later, more than 100,000 yuan. Now that prices are soaring and the currency is depreciating, this house will be sold together with furniture and so on, and it will have to be sold for 300,000 yen.

Before selling, Huang Ke instructed Zhao Xiaowan to be sure to buy and sell by herself, and she didn't have to worry too much about the money, but she still had to sell more if she could sell more.

Zhao Xiaowan naturally didn't do these things in person, he asked the driver of the house, Ah Fu, to help post the sales notice, and within a day, a middle-aged man came to see the house. Ah Fu said that the middle-aged man was ready to bid 350,000 yuan, but he would have to wait until he looked at the house before making a decision.

Zhao Xiaowan was surprised when she heard this, what she didn't expect was that the house price would also rise so quickly. "If you look at it this way, what kind of factories do those businessmen run and what kind of trade? Why don't they all come and stock up on some houses, and then they will all get rich? ”

After hearing this, Ah Fu smiled and said: "Madam, don't say it, I really heard that there is such a thing, someone hoarded rice and houses before the war and then made a fortune." ”

"If you want me to see it, hoarding houses is a high risk, and the Japanese used to bomb them often, and I don't know when my property will become a pile of rubble."

After some small talk, the people who came to see the house came. It was a middle-aged man in a suit and a mustache, and he was riding in a Yellow River jeep that showed that he was inextricably linked to the government and the military.

The middle-aged man didn't come in immediately when he got out of the car, but took a Leica camera in his hand and pressed the shutter on the house. After that, under the guidance of Ah Fu, he walked in with slow steps.

After the man walked in, he looked up and down the house left and right, Ah Fu introduced that this was the buyer Mr. Ge, Zhao Xiaowan smiled slightly to say hello, but when Ah Fu introduced Zhao Xiaowan, Mr. Ge just nodded casually, and then touched the sofa and asked, "What kind of leather is this sofa?" ”

"Calfskin. You touch the feel and texture, it's absolutely superior" Ah Fu patted the armrest of the sofa with his fat palm, looking funny like Chaplin in a silent movie.

Mr. Ge took out a small hammer from his pocket and gently tapped the wooden floor on the ground, carefully examining every corner. At this time, Zhao Tinghui walked in.

Seeing Zhao Tinghui, Zhao Xiaowan stepped forward and said, "I thought you would come tomorrow, but you never thought you would come over today?" Did it go well along the way? ”

Zhao Tinghui took off his top hat and handed it to Ah Fu, "Everything is fine." ”

Huang Zhengzhong stepped forward to greet his uncle, and Zhao Tinghui also patted him on the shoulder and said, "You look taller than your uncle." ”

As he spoke, Mr. Ge walked over. He took out a hand towel from his pocket, wiped his hands and said casually: "The house is okay, but some places are old." In this way, 360,000 yuan, no counteroffer. I'll pay you 60,000 yuan first, go back and give me the deed, then write a sales contract, I'll give you an IOU, and I'll give you the rest of the money in three days, and then you can move out of the house. ”

The other party actually offered a high price of 360,000 yuan, which was also beyond Zhao Xiaowan's expectations. Everything is so proper, there is nothing to say, he instructed Ah Fu to get the deed, and then this Mr. Ge took out 60,000 yuan of legal currency from the leather bag to pay in advance. Zhao Xiaowan said that let Ah Fu stay here for a few days and wait for the other party to send back the money back, and he and Zhengzhong went back to Nanjing first.

Ah Fu sent Mr. Ge out and into the Yellow River jeep at the door, and there was already a person sitting in the car. After Mr. Ge entered, he handed him the deed.

"Everything was done, and 60,000 yuan was given."

The man took it and looked at it carefully, then put it in his chest pocket, "Drive!" ”

……

The matter of the sale was solved in this way, and Zhao Xiaowan cooked a few dishes in the evening, and the family and Ah Fu also sat around the table for a reunion dinner.

During the dinner, Zhao Tinghui asked Huang Zhengzhong about his studies and talked about some recent business situations, and the family was happy.

After the meal, Zhao Tinghui lit his pipe and smoked slowly, "Xiaowan, you are my only relative in this world, there is nothing to hide from me, let me ask you if you have been short of money to spend recently?" ”

Zhao Xiaowan was a little inexplicable when asked by her brother, "There is no shortage of money." Brother, why do you think I'm short of money? ”

"There is no shortage of money, and there is no need to sell this house, and it is good to keep such a good house as a residence." Zhao Tinghui looked around the house, feeling reluctant.

Zhao Xiaowan disagreed, "The commander said, if we all learn from us to buy houses and land everywhere, then will it be repaid?" Besides, how many people are staring at the commander's position, you must not lose a big one because of a small one. ”

After he finished speaking, Zhao Tinghui sounded a little uncomfortable, although his sister said this unintentionally, but it reminded him of the previous incident of using the Yunnan-Burma Highway to carry private goods, but the speaker had no intention of listening to it.

"Okay, that's right, a house is not worth much, and it can be earned. Don't talk about that, when are you leaving tomorrow? Is it by plane? Zhao Tinghui said.

"It's an Air China plane, and it's ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Brother, did you buy a ticket? Shall I let someone reserve a seat? Zhao Xiaowan's two tickets were bought through Batu, and now a large number of dignitaries and family members are rushing to Nanjing, and air tickets have become one of the most sought-after materials. However, this is nothing to Zhao Xiaowan, and Batu has reserved air tickets for her and Huang Zhengzhong in the morning.

Zhao Tinghui naturally got a ticket in his own way. He took the ticket out of his arms and said, "Coincidentally, I'm also on that flight." Let's go over together tomorrow. ”

……

The next day, after breakfast, Zhao Tinghui and his sister's nephew went to the airport. The car is a special car sent by Batu, which takes a special channel, and drives directly to the boarding place on the tarmac after entering the airport.

The family was about to get on the plane when they heard a lot of commotion inside. At this time, I saw an old man in a robe and a horse coat carrying a crutch to let two young and strong young men get out of the plane, and then throw them to the ground very rudely.

"It's too much, how can you treat an old man like this?" Huang Zhengzhong was indignant.

Zhao Tinghui glanced at it, but said in surprise: "Xiaowan, do you see that the person who was thrown down is Chen Jitang, the overseer of Guangdong back then?" ”

"Chen Jitang?" Zhao Xiaowan recalled: "I remember, when I was in Guangdong, I cooperated with the commander and fought against that person. I haven't seen each other in so many years, and I can't recognize it anymore. ”

"That's him. Strange, how could he be thrown out by someone? Could it be that you didn't buy a ticket and wanted to rub the plane? Zhao Tinghui spoke, only to see that Huang Zhengzhong had already run over to help the old man.

Zhao Tinghui and Zhao Xiaowan also walked over, and that person was indeed Chen Jitang.
