Chapter 14: Advanced (45)

After sitting in Fengdong Mountain until the light and shadow of fishing fire came from the Li River not far away, the four of them walked down the hillside. At the intersection of Dasi Street, the four of them divided their own things, and they returned to the house in Doumu Lane, while the other three went to the collective dormitory in Fulongzhou. The management of the senior participation class is not as strict as that of the Central Military Academy, and it does not require the cadets to live in the school, and they can agree to go home as soon as they can go home, which takes care of the local officers and also reduces the pressure of logistics and accommodation. Mo Di naturally wants to go home, there is only Zhou Shiming at home, and it is the greatest wish to go home every day.

At the entrance of Bo'ai Hospital in front of Baoji Mountain, there is a row of restaurants, opposite is the bad shop of Chengxing City, there are wine and food, and the summer night is the time of order. Mo Di originally proposed that the four of them go to the restaurant for a few more drinks, but the three refused, the reason for the three was very simple, they ate a lot at noon, and basically did not stop in the afternoon, so they had to let their stomachs rest.

Walk out of Dasi Street, bypass Wanjiajiafang is Zhongshan Road, Zhongshan Road is very quiet, only into the night, there is already no hustle and bustle of the day, the street lamp on the side of the road is far away, dusk, the shadow of the osmanthus tree under the shadow of the lamp, a few mice shuttle under the roots, like black lightning. Walking in the middle of the road, the asphalt road that was soft by the sun during the day gradually hardened, and the dust on the side of the road was rolled up by the wind and paved in the middle of the road.

Whether it's dust or current events, it's always going on and on.

Hearing Huang Tianhua's remarks on the Central Military Service Administration's approach, Mo Di deeply thought that it was inappropriate, because the central authorities tried to enter Guangxi strongly, but they were unwilling to pay money to maintain the previous advantage, and the result was that the old could not be maintained, and the new could not be created, and a management vacuum would inevitably be formed. If this kind of vacuum is just in the Taiping years, now in the autumn of war, the Japanese army is eyeing Vietnam, and if there is a flaw in Guangxi, it will definitely be seized by the other side, and then turn the opportunity into an advantage.

Mo Di thought that it was necessary for him to report these situations, but after thinking about it, the person of insight was not alone, and the chief of Ling Zhuxi was already arguing with reason, and the current situation did not seem to be optimistic.

After the Catholic church, Zhongshan Road gradually gained some popularity, and there were people walking under the arcade on the side of the road, but the downstairs was darker, far less bright than the middle of the road. Some shops in the arcade on the side of the road are still operating, the lights in the shop are reflected, and a large area of the door is illuminated a lot, so there are people sitting in the light, chatting and drinking tea and talking about the road, the people in the shop are very willing to have popularity at their own door, some shops also specialize in getting a few small bamboo chairs at the door, a pot of old tree tea that has not been made, a large stack of tea bowls. There are not many people who drink tea with these tea bowls, most of the tea customers will carry their own cups, only passing people occasionally use these tea bowls, the tea bowls are not very hygienic, reused, at most use a small amount of tea to shabu a shabu, but there are not many people who use shabu, after all, the tea is limited, used to shabu the bowl, it is bound to reduce the amount of drinkability, and the people who use the cup are unwilling.

Mo Di bypassed a lively doorway and walked to the intersection of Xuefu Road, this chair building is even darker, and behind the pillars there will be mostly hidden women who are engaged in the leather business, they are wearing cheongsams, their faces are painted snow-white, their lips are blood-red, and they carry a handkerchief in their hands, and they are always greeting the people around them. As for Mo Di, they didn't dare to provoke, because the military uniform was too solemn, although there was no military rank on their shoulders, but the pistol hanging diagonally on their waist was scary enough.

Soldiers are also common on the streets of Guilin, but there are not many people who carry weapons on their bodies at any time, and the invincible pistol is a *P38 given to him by Yang Hanlie, the half-open leather gun cover is exposed with blue paint, and the thick barrel is a terrible guy at first glance.

A wandering warbler who was anxious didn't care to see clearly, and when he saw someone coming, he rushed out, grabbed his invincible left hand, and said some gibberish words in his mouth. When she saw clearly that the person she was holding was actually a heavily armed soldier, she was so frightened that her feet went limp, and she almost collapsed on the ground.

The situation is difficult, Guilin's warblers are no longer limited to the end of Huaqiao, and began to walk through the Zhongzheng Bridge to do business, of course, they can not be seen on the streets of Guilin during the day, Guilin has a clear division of business scope, the widow street east of Huaqiao, that is their territory, if it appears elsewhere in Guilin City, the city management will be able to take it away at any time. Some units of the Gui Army have camp prostitutes, and these wandering warblers who have been taken away will become free camp prostitutes, and if they want to leave the camp alive, they will die for life.

Therefore, the Liuying in Guilin City is the most well-behaved group in China, if it is not for the difficulty of doing business, and the sparse crowds in front of the Crescent Tower, they will never take a step out of the flower bridge.

The Liuying still knows the rules, but the Central Military Commission does not know that it is just for its own selfish selfishness to meddle in the affairs of the militia in Guangxi, and the result is to shake the foundation of Guangxi and thus incorporate it into the central management system. The Fifth War Zone is in Hubei, Li Pinxian is in Anhui, and even Huang Shaohong is in Zhejiang. You come and go, and you still exchange gifts. The only difference is that Guangxi's outstretched hand is doing its best to manage things, while the hand of the central government is mostly in sabotage and change.

Mo Di pulled away the hand that was on his body, pushed the frightened Liuying who was speechless to lean on the pillar of the arcade, patted the placket and left.

Passing through the intersection of the school road, there is a cross street in front of you, the street lights are more bright, and the theater on the right is bubbling in color, mixed with all kinds of strange noises from time to time. Mo Enemy came out of the warbler array, and when he heard this tune, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder the ancients said that prostitutes do not leave prostitutes, prostitutes do not leave prostitutes, and this is really the case.

Back in Doumu Lane, Zhou Shiming has not come back, she works in the grain and oil store during the day, and comes back after eating at her fifth brother's house at night. Mo Di looked at the lights in the alley, took out a flashlight from the house, and went to the back of the house.

The Americans' flashlights are better than the Japanese, the Japanese have a flat box, and the Americans have an elbowed cylinder. Comparatively speaking, the Japanese flashlight is heavier and more similar to a lamp, while the American flashlight is light and more conducive to walking, the Japanese have a belt that can be carried over the shoulder, while the American flashlight has a hook on the cylinder that can be hung on the belt for easy access. When Mo Enemy first saw the American's flashlight, he felt that it was not very convenient, because it was an elbow, and when he was walking at night, he had to install a flashlight on his chest or horizontally to ensure that the light of the flashlight shone forward. Later, I learned that the flashlight of the US military is used to send signals, which can be held high above the head, and the light shines directly ahead. As for the hook, it is not to hang the flashlight on the belt, but to hang the flashlight on the * hanging of the armed belt, so that there is no need to shake the flashlight with your hand when marching, and the fixed flashlight light can be directly pointed forward.

With the flashlight on your side and the light shining in front, or because the battery has been used for too long, the light is a little dim, but in the deep alley, it is bright enough.

Walking into Mo Lao Wu's house, the dinner inside was just over, and when he saw Mo Di coming in, Mo Lao Wu asked if he had eaten, and Mo Di said that he had eaten. Mo Lao Wuniang said with a smile, that is to make a special trip to pick up the third sister-in-law, and pushed Zhou Shiming, who was cleaning up the mess, over, the third sister-in-law hurry up, if you don't see each other for a day, from morning to now, not to mention Sanqiu, there is always more than two autumns. Zhou Shiming smiled and put the dishes in his hand into the kitchen, and said, it's your mouth! Ignoring the invincible, he washed the dishes with hot water. Mrs. Mo Lao Wu handed over the young son in her arms to Mo Lao Wu, and also helped clean up the tables and chairs, clean up, and tidy up the kitchen. With the concerted efforts of the two women, the kitchen was soon clean again.

"Why didn't the third brother come back early or late today?" Mo Lao Wu asked.

"I haven't started school in earnest, so I had a meal with a few old friends." Mo Di said: "I heard that the price of food has risen a little during this period, has it affected the business? ”

"Nope." Mo Lao Wu said: "The wheat in the north has come down, and the new noodles have also arrived in Guilin, and the price of rice has risen a little, but the price of noodles has come down, there is no food to eat, and it is okay to eat noodles, and the common people are not particular." ”

Mo Di knew that he was not a businessman and did not understand these markets, so he simply stopped talking about this topic and said: "In my class, I don't have to live on campus at night, I can go home and sleep." However, dinner has to be eaten at school, and after dinner, there is still two hours of self-study that I must attend, and I can only come back after self-study. In the future, your third sister-in-law's night dinner will still be eaten at your place, and after dinner every day, you will continue to drive your third sister-in-law through Doumu Lane. ”

"What's there?" Mo Lao Wu said: "It's very close, a few steps, I'll take a walk after dinner." ”

"It's nothing now, it's a rainy day, and it's a little more troublesome on a northerly windy day." Mo Di said.

Mo Lao Wu didn't continue the topic, and asked instead: "Third brother, can you find a way to stay in Guilin after graduation?" ”

"What's wrong?" Mo Di asked.

"You are in Guilin, it is much more convenient, and our business is much better." Mo Lao Wu said: "People in various places will give the third brother face to you, if you leave Guangxi, I am afraid that there will be many fewer people who sell face." ”

"Face is temporary, business is long-term, business, you can't rely on face, you can open the situation by face, but to do it for a long time, you still have to rely on the business itself." Mo Di said: "My previous chief of staff, Huang Tianhua, is estimated to be the director of the party department of Ningming County, or the county magistrate of Sile County. ”

"Hmm!" Mo Lao Wu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Your old friend Qin Zhenyuan has now opened a grain and oil store in Liuzhou, and we are now in Liuzhou and have begun to cooperate with him." This person is a good businessman, he is a sophisticated person, and we have cooperated in several businesses, all of which are profitable. ”

Mo Di nodded and said: "This person's mind is limited, and the situation is not wide, but the person is not bad, and cooperation is okay." But the heart of defense is indispensable, business is business, don't be too righteous. ”

Mo Lao Wu thought about it, and very much agreed with Mo Di's statement, and said: "Liang Yisheng from Yishan wrote a few days ago, saying that it is estimated that his militia will not be able to do the post of general for too long, and he wants to open a grain and oil store in Yishan and cooperate with us. ”

"What's wrong with that." Mo Di said: "We just cooperate, and we don't invest, and it's all business to open the door." As for the fact that we are familiar with this line of work, we can just mention it a little more. Grain and oil are the foundation of people, and the business is very large, and we can't finish it. ”

After cleaning up the kitchen, Zhou Shiming came to Mo Di's side, Mo Di asked, have you figured it out? Zhou Shiming nodded, Mo Di stood up and said, then let's go back.

Walking out of Mo Lao Wu's house, Zhou Shiming stopped and said with a smile, you must not have eaten dinner yet, I will accompany you for a walk, Huixian Zhai has opened a new branch on Houku Street, and it is a good night, and we will eat his sweet wine eggs in a while. Mo Di nodded, Zhou Shiming was used to naturally inserting his left hand into Mo Di's right elbow, sticking his body to Mo Di's body, and walked towards the cross street.

The two wandered around all the way, chatting all the way, using the official dialect of Tongcheng accent, and when they arrived at the door of Huixian Zhai, Mo Di only heard Zhou Shiming next to him suddenly say in pure Guilin dialect: "A bowl of braised vegetable noodles, a bowl of eggnog, a lot of money?" I was very surprised and asked: When did you learn to speak Guilin dialect? Zhou Shiming smiled and said, what is it to speak Guilin dialect? If I stay in Guilin for another year, I will be able to speak Baishou dialect!

Mo Enemy laughed, it is really to marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, since he marries himself, he naturally becomes a Guilin person, it is not strange to be able to speak Guilin dialect, and it is strange not to be able to speak.
