Chapter 303: All the way
After the Japanese occupation, the economy of the magic capital was much depressed, and the actions of the hoe gang were still carried out in secret, and from time to time the news of the assassination of a certain high-ranking person would be published on the front page of the newspaper.
The executives of the four major banks learned the news in advance, basically evacuated the concession safely, and returned to the base camp in Sichuan and Chongqing, those who did not have time to run, and were not subjected to inhuman abuse, most of them chose to cooperate with the current regime, continued to sing and dance, and those with backbone were temporarily placed under house arrest.
The demand for recruitment is not nothing, but it is not suitable for Chen Bo to do, dock stevedores, or those who stand on the street to distribute leaflets, there is not much money, the work is very tiring, and there are many people competing for it.
"Why don't I try it in a dance hall, I can sing when I go to school."
"Don't go to that kind of place, it's not for you." Chen Bo snatched the leaflet and tore it into several pieces, his eyes converged in the distance, and he saw the person who was looking forward to it.
"I didn't expect you to be alive."
"Looking forward to my death, I didn't do anything, I just changed places to work." Wang Xu shrugged his shoulders, saw that Chen Bo was followed by a girl, and he didn't stay too long, and then patrolled everywhere to maintain law and order.
Chen Cheng's figure also appeared in the recruitment team, but he was the boss of the important person, Chen Bo didn't know whether to come forward to talk, but Chen Cheng's subordinates recognized Chen Bo, and even asked to push the person to Chen Cheng.
"Brother, you're not doing things properly."
"You said you would send someone to pick me up, but I waited for a long time and didn't wait for the person you said." Chen Bo is justified in this, who made Chen Cheng speak as if he was playing a dumb riddle, which was completely confusing.
"Yes, I heard that you went to work in the bank again, which is good." Chen Cheng assigned the recruitment work to the younger brother below, and pulled Chen Bo aside to reminisce.
"Don't run around lately, and stay under my protection."
"Oh, I don't have any money, can you get some help." Chen Bo didn't say anything polite to him, and directly spread his hands to indicate that he was in trouble.
"Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing." Chen Cheng did not hesitate at all.
"That's it, I'll run errands for you, and you pay me a salary."
"Okay, go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to come back with a little batch of goods, 400 yuan."
"What goods, it won't be...."
"Don't ask, it's not good to know too much." Chen Cheng found that there was a girl who had been following Chen Bo, so he asked with a smile: "Are you looking for a new partner?" ”
"Yes, don't touch her, I'll complete the task." Chen Bo was afraid that he would deny this guy and become a thief, so he simply grabbed it in his hand first.
"Take her with you, it's not bad to experience the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River."
"Do you still have the leisure to talk about this?"
"In addition to being the heir of the family who has all the opportunities, I am also a good big brother who takes care of my younger brother, so it's good to take this opportunity to enhance the relationship and continue the incense." Chen Cheng is not too hostile to Chen Bo, most of the time as long as he does not offend his interests, Chen Cheng is still willing to take advantage of the situation to help.
Chen Bo thanked him for his kindness and contracted the transaction, he pulled Xu Xueying on the ship to Jiangnan, and Chen Cheng assigned two additional younger brothers to be responsible for the work.
The cold on the lake in Layue was pressing, and Chen Bo's cold worsened, and his fellow men complained that the ship would be capsized by coughing sooner or later.
"Let's eat a steamed bun, it's just hot." Xu Xueying handed over two white steamed buns, and Chen Bo took one bite at a time, and he didn't chew anything, which choked people a lot.
"Where are we going?"
"I said I was going back to my hometown to get married, do you believe it?" Chen Bo made a joke, who called walking along the road too boring.
"I hate it, I haven't seen your parents, as the saying goes: marriage is a big event, and the words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents." Xu Xueying blushed with shame, and didn't know where to hide for a while, so she had to turn her head aside.
"Isn't this the traditional etiquette, I thought that you would advocate Western free love when you read." Chen Bo indifferently poked his fingers and finally swallowed all the steamed buns.
"It's both, sometimes the parents' life is also very good, after all, the elders have more experience than us, and some of my classmates are gullible in free love, eloped with others and were sold to local businessmen as aunts' wives."
"It's good, I've seen a lot of long lessons, and it's also good for my future development, and I won't take the detours of my predecessors." Chen Bo echoed.
"So, are you really planning to go back and get married?"
"No, it's funny, we're here to transport goods, and it's working hours." Chen Bo put away his playfulness and explained the reason to Xu Xueying.
Xu Xueying, who learned the truth, flashed a trace of loneliness in her expression, and she asked tentatively, "Do you have anyone you like?" ”
"Yes, is it patriotic?"
"People, concrete people."
"Oh, I don't know, I don't think so." Chen Bo took a few breaths of cold air in time, and almost sneezed just now.
"Or...."
"If only we could live to see the day of victory." Of course, Chen Bo understood what this guy was thinking, so he set up a flag and didn't make the ambiguous relationship clear.
"Definitely, you have to live well, and so am I, come, pull the hook and swear." Xu Xueying's resolute eyes seemed a little stupid and cute to Chen Bo, and he couldn't help but smile and swear by the other party.
However, in the next second, Xu Xueying regretted it.
"If it doesn't end in ten or eight years, won't I become a yellow-faced woman, and will you still want me then?"
"It won't be long before the war will be over soon." Chen Bo gave a non-standard answer, if Wang Xu was present, he would definitely correct the mistake on the spot.
Fortunately, Xu Xueying is not a good person, and when she heard Chen Bo say that the war would end soon, the whole person jumped back and forth on the ship.
A lover eventually became a family, and the dead witnessed it with his own eyes, and the two younger brothers heard the whole content of the conversation, and began to ponder about their lifelong events.
"I also want to go home and marry a daughter-in-law, and continue the incense in the family, and I will give birth to ten men and ten women."
"Don't think about it, the women have been robbed by the devils, this god is bad, one day I will pee on them, let them look in the mirror, and dare to invade us with that obsceneness."
"Our boss is not doing things for devils, you should talk more leisurely."
"It's okay, I won't say it in front of him."
At the end of the waterway trip, Chen Bo changed to a carriage, not a horse-drawn sedan chair, but a horse-drawn car, and had to be squeezed together with several large boxes, and the riding experience was extremely bad.
Seeing that the two coolies couldn't move, Chen Bo stepped forward and took a handle, and finally loaded all the boxes into the car, and gave up the central position to Xu Xueying, and he filled the gap himself, so as not to fall down the slope.
The familiar bumpy feeling made Chen Bo dizzy, and the sound of coughing and insects mingled along the mountain road into a reverberation.
"Are you alright?"
"Fortunately, I was not used to sitting in the car before, but I didn't expect to have a childhood shadow after many years." Chen Bo saw that the carriage was moving slowly, so he simply got out of the carriage and walked, but his state returned to the same as before.
"Beware!"
"Watch out for what?"
"It's late..."
As soon as Chen Bo lifted his foot, he found that his shoes had sunk into the cow dung heap.
