Grandpa Hanako did not keep Sugiko, but on the contrary, was persuaded by Sugiko. Because, Grandpa Hanako also knows: letting Sugiko and Hanako stay in Nagasaki is at most a temporary reunion. Because, when the imperial army fought abroad, whether it was defeated or victorious, it had to draw people from the people at home to fight.

However, what made Hanako's grandfather even more excited was that Sugiko mentioned Aunt Hanako, and Sugiko said this: "Sachiko (referring to Aunt Hanako) is about to get married, but her partner has been taken to serve as a soldier, and she has not yet stepped on Chinese soil, so she is loyal to the emperor......"

Grandma Hanako hurriedly said, "Don't mention these things again! Your father can't stand these blows!" The three of them were silent.

It turned out that Aunt Hanako learned that her fiancé was loyal to the Empress and still decided to go to China. At that time, the whole family advised her not to go to China, but she did not change her mind. Before leaving, she said: "This kind of war will not allow us to live at home and be together in peace!"

And so it is. Grandpa Hanako has a total of four sons and a little girl, Sachiko. Before Sachiko's fiancé was loyal to the emperor, there were already three and fourth children who were loyal to the emperor in the Philippines and the Korean Peninsula respectively, and none of them had a family. Only the eldest and second eldest became a family, and they had two sons, a daughter and a son respectively. It should be said that these three generations of the same family were a happy family in Japan at that time. However, just a few days ago, the eldest and his second son and the second child were conscripted again. Now, Hanako's grandfather only has the second daughter-in-law and a young son by his side, as well as the eldest daughter-in-law Sugiko and daughter Hanako.

Because, Japan launched a war against China, military spending surged, and the people were struggling to make a living. Grandpa Hanako considered that all the men who could make money in the family had gone out to fight, leaving only the elderly, women and children, so he decided to rent out his house and the second child's house, and then let himself live with his second daughter-in-law and mother and son in Shanzi's house, so that on the one hand, the rent could become an economic source for their lives, and on the other hand, they could also save money.

To tell the truth, Grandpa Hanako is reluctant to rent out his house and the second house, because, after renting out the house, it is not used for living, but for military workshops, which is very damaging to the housing.

After being silent for a while, Grandpa Hanako pushed the money on the coffee table in front of Chaoshan and said, "This is half a year's rent, you can take it!"

Sugiko pushed the money in front of Hanako's grandfather and said, "Dad, Abe has already prepared enough money for me and Hanako." Don't give me this money. Besides, the village is still small, and it needs to be well maintained with money. "Murayama is the only son of the second child, and he is only eight years old now. He is Grandpa Hanako's most beloved grandson at the moment. Therefore, when Sugiko mentioned Murayama, Grandpa Hanako no longer pushed the money to Sugiko, but he was embarrassed to put it away. Shanzi said, "Dad, after Hanako and I go to China, I will ask you and Mom to take care of this house." As he spoke, he kowtowed to Grandpa Hanako and Grandma Hanako.

Grandpa Hanako and Grandma Hanako felt a pain in their hearts when they saw that Sugiko insisted on taking Hanako to Shanghai. Grandpa Hanako endured the heartache and patted the back of Grandma Hanako, who was already in tears: "We should bless them with a smile!" Then, he said to Sugiko: "When you go to Shanghai, if you meet Sachiko, tell her, I hope she will find a foreign man like Mr. Hua, and don't look for a Japanese man again!

Shanzi: "Dad, don't worry, I'll tell you." ”

Grandpa Hanako: "Please!" He thought for a while and continued: "Shanghai is a city of enemy countries, you and Hanako go, don't reveal your identity as a great Japan, at least until you meet Sachiko! ”

Sugiko: "I'll remember Daddy's reminder." ”

Grandpa Hanako didn't keep Sugiko, and I don't know if he was sad or happy. Because, Sugiko and Hanako will not be able to have a complete family if they stay in Nagasaki, and if they go to Shanghai, they may be able to meet their husband and son who are fighting in China, and maybe Hanako will be able to get married to Mr. Hua's son. It was with this in mind that he got up and went home.

There was no moon or stars outside the house, only the sound of the crashing waves......

Sugiko supported Grandma Hanako and followed Grandpa Hanako down the downhill path. Grandpa Hanako and Grandma Hanako live in the house facing the street at the bottom of this downhill slope, maybe this is the location that allows him to rent out his house at a good price. Sugiko sent Grandpa Hanako and Grandma Hanako to their house, said goodbye and hurried uphill home.

When Hanako's grandfather and grandparents entered the house, the second daughter-in-law was already inside the door, standing and waiting, and said, "Dad, Mom, it's been a hard work." Murayama has already slept, and his things have been sorted out. You two can rest early and move tomorrow. ”

Grandpa Hanako: "It's hard for you." We didn't keep your sister-in-law, and in the future, family affairs will have to work hard for you. ”

Hanako was asleep by this time, holding the photo in her arms. When she woke up, it was already dawn, and although the sky was overcast, she could still see the thick gray clouds rolling in the sky through the window. She heard a noise outside the door, and it was Sugiko doing something. She got up and found the picture next to her, she picked it up and kissed it, respectfully tucked it into her backpack, and then shouted, "Good morning!"

Shanzi heard Hanako's shout, so he shouted to Hanako's bedroom: "You get up quickly, let's have breakfast, and start cleaning the house!" At this time, Shanzi had already packed all the clothes and books that could not be taken away and put them in a dark room. Although she hadn't slept all night, she seemed very energetic. Because, she took Hanako to Shanghai, and got the consent of Hanako's grandfather.

Brother Hua's name is Huawen, and he is in the third year at a university in western Shanghai. At this time, the Battle of Songhu had already begun. That night, the three leaders of the university's ** branch were holding an emergency meeting with a farmer in Songjiatan Village.

Lao Qian is the head of the branch, a foreign language teacher of Chinese, and an introducer of Chinese to join the party. He said: "The Japanese invaders are already attacking Shanghai, and the organization has asked us to prepare for the worst!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him in bewilderment, he explained: "In the event of the fall of Shanghai, we must try to transfer the comrades who have been exposed to the base areas in northern Jiangsu, and at the same time, let the comrades who have not been exposed continue to stay and engage in underground struggle." Seeing that you understood the meaning of "worst intentions", he continued: "Now there is a thorny problem, that is, there is a guy named Xiaotu in the Secret Service who defected to the Japanese, and this guy knows the list of hidden personnel of the Secret Bureau, so the Secret Service wants us to help them get rid of this guy!"

Zhou Hui is a librarian at the library and a member of the university's ** branch. When she heard Lao Qian say that she wanted to help the Secret Bureau get rid of the traitors, she said, "Isn't the Secret Bureau good at assassination?

Lao Qian: "Xiaotu has already taken refuge in a Japanese business building on North Sichuan Road, and he also knows the people of the Secret Bureau, so the Secret Bureau can't attack him." ”

Zhou Hui: "But the comrades of our branch are either students or teachers. Who can be a killer?"

Lao Qian: "I already have a candidate, and I have also consulted my superiors. The leader instructed us that we must cooperate with this comrade to assassinate the traitors who had defected to the Japanese invaders and relieve the danger of the Secret Bureau. ”

Lao Hong, who had been smoking on the side, opened his mouth: "There are only three of us who came here for a meeting today, what can we do, please be specific, okay?"

Lao Qian put his teacup in the middle of the table and said, "This Rikou Business Mansion is my cup, which is three stories high. Xiaotu lives on the third floor. To the east of this western-style building is Hongkou Park, although there are Japanese military police here, because Zhabei is at war, so there will not be many Japanese military police here. ”

Zhou Hui: "How can our comrades enter this building?"

Old Qian: "There will be arrangements for this organization." Now, what we are doing is to wait near this western-style building, and once this comrade has successfully assassinated and walked out of this western-style building, we will immediately cooperate with him to transfer and ensure his safety. ”

Lao Hong: "What if this comrade's assassination was unsuccessful?"

Old Qian: "We can only transfer immediately and prepare a second set of plans." Now, all you have to do is go to Hongkou Park now and get acquainted with the environment there. Then, go to the Doron Road Liaison Point for next instructions. Adjourned!"

Lao Hong and Zhou Hui are a pair of lovers to the outside world, and Lao Qian pretends to be their matchmaker. This farmhouse is the nominal Uncle Hong's house. After the meeting ended, Lao Qian sent Zhou Hui and Lao Hong out of the door, and then, when he returned to the house to change his clothes, he went to Huawen's house.

Hua Wen's family lived on Qiujiang Road, not far from the Suzhou River, where the Chinese and Japanese armies were fighting, but the organization took care of him and had to stay at home, ready to go underground and fight.

The Chinese residence is a small garden house, where his father used to run a clinic, and now, he lives here with his grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and sister. The Chinese parents and Hua Mei only came to Shanghai a few days ago, and the grandfather originally wanted to let the Chinese parents rest for a few days, and when Hua just had a summer vacation, they would go to Anqing's hometown together. However, when the Songhu War broke out, he temporarily gave up his plan to go to Anqing's hometown.

After lunch, Grandpa Hua sat on a rattan chair under the magnolia tree in the garden, leaning against his eyes and shaking the banana fan rhythmically. Obviously, he didn't shake the banana fan to go to the heat, but to think. What did he think? Last night, Huawen's father proposed to open a clinic here. This made Grandpa Hua very entangled: Shanghai is likely to fall, and this Qiujiang Road is very close to the Japanese Concession. Besides, he still has a large piece of real estate in his hometown in Anqing, and he has to go there often. Therefore, it is neither safe nor necessary to open a clinic here. However, he thought about it instead: Huawen is studying in Shanghai, so we can't let him give up his studies and go back to his hometown!

Hua Wen's father's name is Hua Zhiwei, and he carried the kettle to the coffee table next to Hua Wen's grandfather and poured hot water on Hua Wen's grandfather's cinnabar pot. Grandpa Hua Wen opened his eyes and said, "What you said about opening a clinic last night, I think it ...... after thinking about it" Suddenly he felt that he hadn't thought about it yet, so he paused.

Hua Zhiwei was anxious, so he asked, "Dad, ......what do you mean?"

Grandpa Hua Wen thought for a while: "Don't make the clinic too big, as long as it can be maintained." In case Shanghai falls and little Japan comes here to make trouble, we will withdraw, and the loss will not be too great. ”

Hua Zhiwei: "I understand what Dad means. However, I have a Japanese friend in Shanghai, and if my father agrees for me to open a clinic here, then I will go to my Japanese friend. The Japanese friend Hua Zhiwei is talking about is Abe's sister Sachiko. Because, before Hua Zhiwei returned to Shanghai, Abe told him Sachiko's address.

Grandpa Huawen: "This is the land of the Chinese, why do you want to ask the Japanese for help?" Grandpa Huawen got up from the rattan chair and stood up. He was a very tough old man, with white hair and a white beard, but his face was full of red. He has an ancestral stunt and can still deal with several strong men with his bare hands. Therefore, the little gangsters on Qiujiang Road did not dare to touch Grandpa Huawen. "You open the clinic first, it's better to be smaller, the main thing is to not let your medical skills go to waste!" As he spoke, he walked towards the terrace of the bungalow, and Hua Zhiwei hurriedly followed. Suddenly, Grandpa Hua Wen turned back to Hua Zhiwei and said, "Let's put aside the matter of making money." When we get rid of these little Japan, I will definitely let you open a big hospital!" Grandpa Hua Wen hated the Japanese invaders to the core, and he also knew that although he had martial arts, he would not withstand the guns of the Japanese invaders. He often sighed and said: "My money can be exchanged for guns, and I must fight with the Japanese invaders." ”

A domestic servant hurriedly came over, saw Grandpa Hua Gang, stopped and said, "Old lady, I'm sorry! Grandpa Hua Wen was silent, and motioned to the domestic helper to hand it to Hua Zhiwei behind him, and after Hua Zhiwei took the letter and read it, he said to Grandpa Huawen: "A friend and family have come to Shanghai for refuge and want me to take care of it." ”

Grandpa Chinese: "When are you coming?"

Hua Zhiwei: "According to the frequency of the ship mentioned in the letter, it should arrive in Shanghai yesterday, but now the flight is not allowed, I want to inquire." ”

Grandpa Huawen: "You wait at home! Maybe your friend's family is already on their way to my house!" He was hospitable, but he didn't want his family to go out in the rain of bullets.

"Listen to Daddy. Hua Zhiwei knew that even if he went to the dock, he wouldn't be able to pick up Shanzi and Hanako, so the only way for him to do it now was to wait for them to find it themselves.

When Grandpa Hua Wen saw that the maid was still standing, he asked, "What else is the matter?"

Domestic Maid: "There is a man who claims to be a young master university teacher, waiting to be seen. ”

Grandpa Chinese: "Quick, please!"
