Wang Jianchi was a special commissioner sent by the Nationalist Government, and his killing was not a trivial matter.

The next day, the people patrolling the house went door to door to search for suspicious people, and there was a lot of noise.

But how could Zeng Xian leave any clues about this matter, no matter how long they investigated, they would not gain anything.

Xinghua Department Store was bombed that time, which caused the Yi family to lose a lot. The Japanese took the opportunity to forcibly take away the two factories in the hands of the Yi family on the grounds of cooperation.

At that time, the Yi family was in a family funeral, and Xi Wei'an and Zeng Xian were not there, Tang Fengwu was busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and several women in the family had no backing, so they could only swallow their anger.

However, the Japanese claimed that these were given to them by the Yi family, and called on all the merchants of Shanghai to follow their example.

It's hard to say, and you can't say much, as long as you can keep Xinghua, why not suffer a little grievance temporarily?

Today's Xinghua is basically an empty shell, not that they can't buy goods, but they don't want the Japanese to make a profit from it.

Do you want us to restock?

Sorry, no money! Or do you pay for it yourself?

Want us to come up with a new product?

I'm sorry, the factory was robbed by you, how can you do it?

In the past six months, Xinghua has been in a state of half-opening and half-closing, but the business of other small shops has gradually improved.

made the Japanese Chamber of Commerce angry with the people, and in the end they could only return the factory to the Yi family.

The factory was brought back, and the Yi family restarted Xinghua's business.

The purchase of the goods, the recruitment of the workers, Xinghua finally returned to the prosperity of the past.

On August 13, 1937, the day of the 13th World War of August, about 60,000 refugees poured into the Shanghai Concession. By mid-August, the number of refugees in the concession had reached 700,000.

The influx of a large number of refugees has brought a lot of panic to Shanghai.

Outside the concession, people earn their heads and blood for a bite or two. Within the concession, patriots raised funds for disaster relief. In the face of a large number of refugees, the disaster payment is a drop in the bucket.

The newspaper said that the British were going to build a third line of defense along the Suzhou Creek, and they guaranteed that the concession would be very safe.

Mom, are you saying yes? ”

Early in the morning, Yi Zhongxiu read the latest news with a newspaper.

Huang Yingru saw Yi Zhongling's sad face today, and asked:

"Zhong Ling, are you worried about Wei An?"

Yi Zhongling barely cheered up,

"Didn't the newspapers also say that the war would end soon? There's nothing to worry about. ”

However, Zeng Xian knew that the war would last for up to eight years.

"Big sister, are the Japanese really so easy to get chicken legs? If the Nationalist Government had the confidence to win, why did the Chamber of Commerce keep sending people to persuade the factories to move westward? ”

Although Yi Zhongxiu is a pampered young lady, what she said is very reasonable.

"It's just a rainy day!"

Yi Zhongling expressed his opinion.

"Factories, schools, and celebrities in the literary and artistic circles have all left Shanghai together, and in my opinion, the Kuomintang is going to leave the people behind."

Yi Zhongxiu said bluntly.

Yi Zhongling stopped immediately when he was able to peel the apple.

"I'm sorry, eldest sister, I'm not talking about the eldest brother-in-law, she and those people have never been all the way. And he is now fighting on the front line, eldest sister, you must be very worried about him, aren't you? ”

Although the Nationalist Government is greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are many people who are greedy for pleasure, there is also no shortage of patriots.

For example, Xi Wei'an, and that Zhao Haiting.

曾仙 says:

"No matter what the newspapers say, let's just do what we have to do.

At present, there are still many refugees outside who are unable to ensure even basic food and clothing, and every day people either starve to death or fight for food.

Although the situation in our family is not as good as before, we still have to do our best to do what we can. ”

Yi Zhongyu remembered something and said to him:

"The money that my grandfather raised in Singapore seems to have come back today, and we went to the bank to see if the money had arrived."

Zeng Xian got up to join her.

There are many people gathered at the gate of Xinghua Bank, and many people have recently wanted to leave Shanghai with their net worth.

Mr. Zhou's payment has already arrived, and the amount is huge.

But how long can this money last?

The two went to Xinghua Department Store after coming out of the bank, and Yi Zhongling was taking all the employees of Xinghua to give charity.

Both of them also went over to help, and Huang Yingru brought someone to send a few baskets of steamed buns from home.

The Yi family is all patriots.

Yi Zhongjie brought a group of people, saying that they were here to help.

Among them, several Zeng Xian still knew and returned to Shanghai with him before.

"Mr. Zeng, we meet again."

"Hello, Ms. He!"

He Ruilan is ostensibly the executive director of the Shanghai Anti-Enemy Support Association, but in fact she is also an underground party of the Chinese Communist Party.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to hide it, I want to do my best for the refugees this time, but I also want to win the support of your department store."

Yi Zhongling said:

"You say, as long as we can do it."

Ho Rui Lan Road:

"We need a batch of trucks to deliver some condolences to the front line, and we need to bring the wounded back before dawn, I wonder if your company is willing to help?"

Yi Zhongling glanced at Huang Yingru.

Now she is the only elder of the Yi family, and Yi Zhongling respects her very much.

Huang Yingru nodded slightly.

With her acquiescence, Yi Zhongling asked:

"I don't know how many you want?"

"The more the merrier!"

Zeng Xian stood up and said:

"Eldest sister, leave this matter to me!"

Yi Zhongling nodded.

Zeng Xian said to He Ruilan:

"Ms. He, when do you leave, I will go with you."

"The sooner the better! The items are ready and waiting for the truck. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it now!"

After the truck was ready, Zeng Xian was ready to leave.

Yi Zhongyu was worried, but she knew that Zeng Xian would not change his mind.

Zeng Xian is going, and he must fight on the front line again.

The hot-blooded man rushed to the battlefield with a patriotic heart, and no one would stop him, let alone Yi Zhongyu.

"You must come back safely!"

"Don't worry!"

After Zeng Xian arrived at the front line, he threw himself into the battlefield, and his companions returned with the wounded soldiers, and brought back a letter from Zeng Xian, which read:

Zhong Yu, although you didn't say it, I knew that I was going to be a father, and I knew that you hid it so as not to worry me.

I don't know when I'll be able to go back. But I promise you, I will return to you alive, and you know what I am capable of.

I have already thought of the child's name, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it is called Zeng Nianyi.

Don't be angry if I don't go back before you give birth, and I'll kneel on the washboard and apologize to you when I get back.

Now that you're pregnant, it's good to leave the outside work to them and don't go out and about.

Tell the eldest sister that I will find my brother-in-law, fight side by side with him, and bring him back safely.

also reminded Tang Fengwu that Su Yin beside him had a problem, and told him to be more vigilant.

A thousand words into one sentence: Cherish, wait for me to come back!

Yi Zhongyu took the letter and laughed and cried and laughed, touched his lower abdomen and muttered to himself:

"Baby, your dad is a great hero, you have to be obedient in mom's belly, waiting for dad to come back with mom."

Zeng Xian fought here for half a month, destroyed thousands of enemies, and blew up a tank cannon of the opponent.

Later, I heard that a Sichuan army was besieged by the Japanese army in Luodian, so I obeyed the arrangement and brought a small army to support, and after passing over, I found that it was Zhao Haiting's army.

"I didn't expect that the nameless god of war who killed countless enemies and terrified the enemy army turned out to be your kid. It seems that you fought with me that day, but you still kept a hand.

This time, you can risk your life to come to support us, I, Zhao Haiting, owe you a great favor. If he can return alive one day, I will surely repay you for saving your life today. ”

Zeng Xiandao:

"No matter how great your ability is, it's not used to deal with your own people. Although Commander Zhao sometimes does things roughly, I know that you are also a bloody man, and you will definitely stand up to defend your family and the country when the country is in trouble.

Now that we, the sons and daughters of China, have entered the national resistance against the enemy, even the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have begun to cooperate with the outside world, let alone us.

I don't need anything like that, just tell me where the headquarters is. ”

He had inquired before, and Xi Wei'an was in Luodian.

Zhao Haiting personally took Zeng Xian to the headquarters, just in time for Xi Wei'an to lose his temper.

The army suffered numerous casualties, there was no reinforcement to support, ammunition and supplies were not replenished for a long time, and telegrams were sent one after another, asking him to seize the time to recover Luodian.

How can you keep him angry?

"Commander Xi, I'm here!"

Seeing Zeng Xian standing in front of him, Xi Wei'an was surprised.

Let's put aside the chatter, Zeng Xian took out the topographic map of Luodian and began to study the battle plan.

At present, the situation in Luodian is quite grim, there are few people and materials, but there are few, and everyone is tired from continuous battles.

The enemy's strength, ammunition and weapons have an overwhelming advantage, and it is difficult to recover Luodian.

It is already a big surprise to be able to hold on for so many days.

Zeng Xian decided to break into the enemy camp at night and cause them some trouble.

This plan is known only to Xi Wei'an.

In the middle of the night, Zeng Xian quietly set off, and his skills allowed him to walk freely at night, as fast as lightning.

An hour later, a loud bang broke through the sky, and the ammunition depot of one of the enemy camps was blown up, killing and wounding countless people.

Zeng Xian did not return for a long time.

For three days in a row, ammunition depots were bombed in many enemy camps, and many Japanese generals were inexplicably killed.

But the enemy army is constantly being joined by new troops, and ammunition and weapons are constantly being replenished.

Even if they suffered heavy casualties, they could not eliminate their determination to invade China, and they would only invest more manpower and material resources to achieve their wolf ambitions.

On November 5, 1937, Japanese troops landed at Jinshanwei.

On 8 November, the Nationalist Government ordered a general retreat, which was reduced to a rout due to miscommand.

On November 12, Shanghai fell.

Tang Fengwu and the Shanghai Patriotic Organization, with the help of the French, held a charity performance in the Public Concession, calling on everyone to lend a helping hand to raise funds for refugees.

There are singers of Peking Opera, pop songs, and lion dances.

When the three sisters of the Yi family heard about this, they also came to help, not only providing pastries and tea, but also coming to a big ensemble.

Yi Zhongling played the pipa, Yi Zhongyu played the flute, and Yi Zhongxiu played the violin, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

And just as they were playing, the crowd rang out with the sound of a harmonica, and a man with a somewhat shabby hat, a shabby suit, and a jagged beard on his face that seemed to be cut with scissors, slowly walked forward to the bandstand.

Even if Zeng Xian was so raunchy, Yi Zhongyu still recognized him at a glance.

It wasn't until the end of the performance that Yi Zhongyu slowly walked in front of him, tears streaming out of his eyes.

"You're finally back!"

"Well, I'm back!"

The two hugged each other tightly.

Yi Zhongling and Yi Zhongxiu thought at first that this person also stood up to perform for charity, but now they suddenly realized when they saw these two people.

It turned out that after Zeng Xian infiltrated the enemy camp last time, he suddenly came up with a plan and disguised himself as a Japanese to blend in with the enemy army.

During this period, as long as he was in the Japanese army, all kinds of bizarre things happened frequently. Either a large number of people were poisoned and killed, or an explosion occurred while resting and rectifying, and so on and so forth.

So his team will end in defeat.

Later, when he learned that Shanghai had fallen, he wiped out all his troops and returned to Shanghai from various places. During this period, I also experienced many twists and turns, and made many patriotic people.

Zeng Xian's safe return home was the happiest thing for the Yi family in the past few months.

Soon after Zeng Xian left, the Japanese bombed Shanghai, and Xinghua Department Store was bombed into ruins.

After several months of reconstruction, most of it was finally restored.

Now we are waiting for the goods to be delivered from all over the country and choose an auspicious day to reopen.

One day, two months after Zeng Xian's return, everyone was having lunch, and someone suddenly came to report that Xi Wei'an had returned.

This made Yi Zhongling excited, and immediately got up to greet him.

However, what is unexpected is that Fan Qiuyan and Yi Jiyu came back with him.

The sudden appearance of the mother and daughter surprised everyone.

"Oh, this French ship is slow, the cabin is stuffy, and I am tired and my back hurts."

Fan Qiuyan raised her voice and complained.

Everyone didn't react to their appearance for a while, and seeing that Yi Zhongling was stunned, Fan Qiuyan said:

"Zhong Ling, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and ask someone to help me release the water, I want to take a bath."

This woman really doesn't regard herself as an outsider, and she even put up her master's shelf when she comes to live in someone else's house.

"Wait!"

Fan Qiuyan was about to go upstairs, but Zeng Xian stopped her.

"What for?"

"I'm sorry, but my wife is pregnant. Now there is war everywhere outside, and you have been in the dust along the way, and I am afraid that you will bring germs in and hurt my children. ”

"And what do you want?"

Fan Qiuyan asked.

"I'll ask someone to go to Jinhua Hotel to book two rooms for you, you go there first!"

Regardless of whether they agreed or not, they immediately asked Ah Zhong to call Jinhua Hotel to book a room.

"Zeng Xian, when will the Yi family be decided by you? Isn't it a bit unreasonable that you didn't say anything about not letting us stay? Vian, don't you say? ”

Yi Jiyu didn't expect to be so humiliated just after he came back, and he was very unwilling.

Her sentence of 'Wei'an' immediately made everyone understand that an ulterior secret had happened between these two people.

Xi Wei'an sat far away, saw Yi Zhongyu's bulging belly, and said:

"Everything, with the child in Zhong Yu's belly as the priority, let's all go to Jinhua Hotel to rest tonight!"

His 'we', not 'you', confirmed everyone's speculation.
