On the way back was very different from when I went, the Chinese workers talked and laughed.

Zhang Ju happily stretched out his thumb to Song Yuke and said in the tone of singing Peking Opera: "I have served Mr." ”

Song Yuke said: "Don't be happy too early, things are too cheap, it may not be a bad omen." I think they still have to investigate. ”

Zhang Ju asked, "Then what do you say will happen?" ”

Song Yuke said: "I can't say for sure, but the war situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Japan, and it has directly threatened the mainland, and the actions of the Japanese have been a little abnormal recently, so let's be extra careful." There are two things to do at the moment, one is to envelop Muraoka well, so that he can speak fairly. Second, when I returned to the workshop today, I took the initiative to ask to work all night to make up for the work delayed during the day. ”

The group said, "Come on, die or not, whatever!" ”

Song Yuke said: "Buddy, if you think you will do too much for him, you will find it back in bits and pieces in the future, and you will have more mushrooms." Today, this move must be made. If you don't do your job better, the workshop will speak for us. The workshop director and the diligence department are not the same force. One less big tooth doesn't hinder anything, if we are all forced to rush production, we will be blind, and the workshop director will eat flies! ”

As soon as they returned to the drug department, they saw the director standing at the door of the office waiting for them. The director, a young man in his fifties, wearing a patched blue uniform, called everyone to him and only said: "If there is a dispute between Chinese and Japanese workers, report it to our workshop, and we will deal with it fairly. Song Yuke stabbed Zhang Ju, and Zhang Ju said, "Mr. Director, we don't want to interrupt production and make it difficult for you." Big Tooth is bullying us too much to work. Well, for the sake of the face of the workshop, we volunteered to stay up all night today, just ask you to contact Xingyaliao. ”

When the director heard this, he immediately had a smile on his face. Lian said: "That's great, I'll ask for you, add a meal at night!" The club is in charge, so you can rest assured. ”

When he returned to the filtration room, he saw that the floor was full of pallets and raw materials, messy, and there was nowhere to put his feet, Han Youfu fell asleep alone on the place where the big tooth was lying just now. Zhang Ju kicked him up and kicked him crookedly.

"We almost killed you for you! You're fucking well fed and asleep, and you don't clean up and sweep up. ”

Han Youfu argued with a face full of grievances: "You didn't assign me, can you blame me for not doing it?" ”

When Zhang Ju heard this, the fire didn't hit anywhere, grabbed him by the neck and asked, "It's been assigned to load the car after unloading, where did you go?" Xiaohu is a little slower, you are so wronged! You don't do it at all, and you put all the work on everyone, how should this be calculated? Saying that he was going to fight again, seeing that no one would dissuade him, Song Yuke had no choice but to stop Zhang Ju and said: "The ugliness of the family is not publicized, let's go back to Xingyaliao if we have something to say." "Han Youfu has never suffered losses in front of him, and when he saw that Zhang Ju's eyes were red, he immediately touched his face, smiled and saluted Zhang Ju and said;" Brother was wrong, I apologize, I apologize! I'll wash lunch boxes for the whole class at dinner. ”

Zhang Ju ate soft rather than hard, so he had to put down his fist and scolded: "Bad seed!" ”

Big Tooth went back to recuperate, and Muraoka also left after work. Song Yuke and the people of "Gary Nitricate" stayed to work overtime, and the whole workshop was Chinese, everyone was unrestrained, even talking and laughing, very happy. The director of the pharmaceutical department, the industrious department, Yamazaki, was worried about what would happen to the work this night, so he rode his bicycle to take a look. I saw the brilliant lights, the noise of people, and the roar of the machines, as if they were working very nervously and enthusiastically. The director also praised a few words. The Ministry of Diligence and the director of the workshop exchanged views, thinking that it was not like there was any background, Daya was usually too harsh on Chinese workers, and for the sake of a one-legged cripple, it might not be cost-effective to offend a two-legged labor force, and he advocated that this matter would pass. It's just that Yamazaki disapproves and asks angrily: "The Chinese beat the Japanese and don't deal with it, is this still a system?" ”

The Minister of Diligence said: "Of course, we have to deal with it, but we only see how to deal with it that is conducive to production." ”

In the middle of the night, when the work was almost over, Zhang Ju pulled out to get his condolence bag of rice. He was hiding in a pipe ditch outside the workshop, but he couldn't find it. Thinking about it, when everyone went to the Ministry of Diligence, Han Youfu was the only one in the workshop, and when he carried it in his arms in the morning, he seemed to peek at it. immediately wanted to ask Han Youfu to ask, Song Yuke saw him scolding and walking into the house, so he asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Han Youfu rabbit cub stole my rice!"

"Are you sure he stole it?"

"Except for him, he has gone to the Ministry of Diligence, and he doesn't admit that I beat him out!"

"I didn't catch it red-handed, forget it!"

"I made a wish to invite you guests, and to tell you the truth, I brought it today to repay your righteousness that day."

"Then we can understand it, don't make any more trouble about this matter, grievances should be resolved and not knotted, they are all Chinese!"

"This kid doesn't have a Chinese taste!"

"If you offend a gentleman, don't offend a villain."

Han Youfu had a ghost in his heart, and he paid attention to it as soon as Zhang Ju left the workshop. He also sneaked out to peek at Zhang Ju's movements, and was preparing to deal with it, Zhang Ju was really anxious, and decided that he stole it, so he took out the rice and said, "I deliberately moved a place for you, just kidding." "When the rice is returned to him, even if he still suspects that he is stealing, he will never beat him. If Zhang Ju didn't think that he stole it, and only had a little suspicion, then he would bite it and never admit it. Unexpectedly, Song Yuke persuaded Zhang Ju. In his heart, a stone fell to the ground.

Although Zhang Ju listened to Song Yuke's advice and did not directly track down Han Youfu, he had nowhere to vent this anger in his heart. It doesn't matter if the rice is lost, it doesn't come from the clear road anyway. But if you say the words of the treat, you won't honor it when the time comes, isn't this planted in front of people? As soon as the stop bell rang, he jumped to his feet and scolded his ancestors for three generations. He swore that if anyone stole his rice or secretly send it back, he would not only curse it three times a day, but also that his eight generations of ancestors could not lie in the grave, and he would also break the thief's leg and throw it into the Soto Inland Sea. When everyone heard this, some of them held grievances for him, scolded him together, and swept Han Youfu with their eyes and laughed secretly. Han Youfu sat in the corner with his legs crossed, slowly took out an iron box of cigarettes and smoked, and thought to himself: "People don't grow up if they don't get scolded, see what flowers you can scold?" ”

Everyone washed their hands and rushed to the ground amid the scolding. Chiyoko Watanabe came with a cart to deliver night food, and everyone lined up in front of the car with a brush. Chiyoko wore an anti-aircraft headscarf on her head and wore a national uniform, like a rag doll. One by one, she put the wooden lunch boxes in people's hands. Huzi is the shortest and last. When he came, she deliberately rubbed and quietly asked him, "There was a fight?" ”

"Hmm."

"You also participated?"

Huzi shook his head. She put her hands on her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

She took out a paper bag from the bottom of the car and quietly stuffed it to Huzi: "Congratulations on your birthday." ”

Huzi remembered that today was March 1, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Mr. Dao told me to copy your register, I saw it!"

Huzi opened it and saw that it was a red-dyed egg, and laughed. Chiyoko asked, "Isn't that right?" I heard that Chinese eat red eggs for their birthdays! ”

"No, if you have a child and become a parent, you have to invite others to eat red eggs. People who celebrate their birthdays want to eat noodles! ”

"Hey, Japan also eats noodles, so what do you do now?"

"What to do? I'm done with the eggs, thank you! ”

Chiyoko smiled and left. She was afraid to walk at night, so she had to catch up with the other people who delivered the food.

Song Yuke watched this move in his eyes. While eating, he pointed to Huzi's pocket and said, "She gave it to you?" ”

Huzi nodded.

Song Yuke pulled Huzi to a quiet place on his back and asked, "Are you two getting along?" ”

"No," Huzi said as if he had been accused of stealing something, and even his face and neck turned red. "I gave his mom something that day, and she was very grateful to me. This egg was given to me for my birthday. If you don't say it's good, I'll give her back! ”

Song Yuke said: "I didn't say anything else, don't worry about it." We're not in China, you're still young, I'm just afraid that you'll learn badly! ”

"I'm not like Han Youfu!"

"If it weren't for the war between the two countries, it would be right to make a friend, Chiyoko, this child is good, everyone bullies her! Blame the pitiful. ”

"Old Song, do you know why they bullied her?"

"Why?"

"Her brother is an anti-war coalition ......"

"Shh Lao Song covered his mouth, pulled him away from the crowd, and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Huzi learned what the old lady said that day to Song Yuke. Song Yuke nodded while listening: "No wonder, how can I say that her family is different from other people!" In this way, we have the responsibility to comfort the old lady and Chiyoko! ”

"I don't know what to tell them!"

"They should be told that the Anti-War League is a friend of the Chinese, respected and loved by the Chinese, so that they can rest assured."

"No, the old lady scolded the Communist Eighth Route Army as soon as she mentioned it, saying that it was **, and that the anti-war alliance was a traitor!"

Song Yuke didn't know how to explain the matter to the mother and daughter and make them accept it, he just felt that it was his responsibility to comfort and help the families of the anti-war alliance, and to tell them the truth. He instructed Xiaohuzi to find an opportunity to help Chiyoko more. I thought of another idea and asked Huzi to use storytelling to reveal some news. But Huzi is not easy to talk to!

"I'm afraid people will say that I don't have a decent style!"

"Little thing, and sugar—well, if you have a chance to tell her a story! Help them change their minds. ”

"What's the story?"

"I'll tell you after eating!"

After a night meal, everyone cleaned up the scene and found a corner to sleep. Huzi chased Song Yuke's ass and asked him to tell a story, but Song Yuke retreated. He was a bit of a feudal mentality. A key issue that has just been overlooked is that this story cannot be told to the relatives of the person concerned. He only said that he was sleepy, and he would talk about it when he was in good spirits. The tiger is entangled. He took a step back and said, "I promise to speak, but I won't talk about it today, and I'll tell you when I think about how to talk about it." ”

Huzi ignored him angrily, and fell asleep after a while.

Before dawn, the director of the pharmaceutical department came, saw that the production task was completed well, and asked them to leave work early and go back to the dormitory.

As soon as I approached Xingyaliao, I felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, on weekdays it was the time for the Chinese workers to get up, wash their faces, and prepare for breakfast, it should be a busy time, and the sound was endless, but today it was silent, they reported to the door of the office, and there was a way out, a tired and tired face, waved their hands and said: "Go to the canteen." ”

The lights in the cafeteria were on, and all the Chinese workers were standing at the dining table, and Yamazaki was standing shirtless, riding boots and breeches, with his hands on his hips, standing in the open space at the entrance.

Zhang Ju reported: "All fourteen members of the drug department have arrived! ”

Yamazaki didn't move, and said in a suppressed voice: "Facing everyone, stand in a row." ”

The team from the Department of Pharmaceuticals is standing. Yamazaki monster shouted: "All stand upright!" ”

He changed his position, facing the hall from the side, and said: "You are requisitioned labor, fighting with the Japanese, this is a crime, and discipline is absolutely not allowed!" Anyone who went to the Ministry of Industriousness yesterday should have been punished! Since the Ministry of Diligence is extraordinarily gracious, I will not pursue it, but you must remember that you will never repeat it in the future! ”

He took a few steps forward, turned his face to the person in the medicine department and shouted, "But for the culprit who caused this incident, there must be no tolerance!" The dignity of the Japanese people is not allowed to be violated! ”

People didn't dare to come out, and focused their eyes on Zhang Ju worriedly, Zhang Ju clenched his teeth, the flesh on his cheeks trembled, and his whole body was stretched.

But unexpectedly, Yamazaki shouted: "Han Youfu! ”

Han Youfu agreed: "Yes." "I shuddered.

"Come out!" Yamazaki went up and grabbed Han Youfu and pulled him to the front of the team, Han Youfu's face was colorless, and when he saw that his pants were wet, Yamazaki opened the bow left and right and slapped him in the face and asked, "Are you lazy when you work?" Did you off the Japanese workers? Are you messing with a Japanese woman......" Han Youfu tilted his left and right, and promised again and again: "It's me, it's me, it's me!" Then Yamazaki pulled Han Youfu by both hands, reflexively picked him up and fell down, shouted at him after falling, got up and fell him down, after a while, Han Youfu fainted and couldn't get up, Yamazaki himself went to the washroom to bring a bucket of cold water with an air defense bucket, and poured it down, Han Youfu convulsed twice, gasped, and shouted: "Mom......"

"Get up!" Yamazaki kicked him with his foot, and reached out to get up and throw him on his back, but one of the older men of the Chinese workers ran forward in spite of everything, knelt down and said:

"Mr. Yamazaki, spare him!"

Then a few more people knelt down, most of them just stood silently, especially the people from the pharmaceutical department. Yamazaki still didn't stop, I don't know who picked the head, everyone shouted together: "Please stop Mr. Yamazaki!" He shouted as he circled around Yamazaki. Yamazaki was stunned and asked in a panic, "What are you going to do?" What are you going to do? ”

At this time, it was time to go to work, and the club called to ask why the Chinese workers did not go to work, and there was a report here. The Minister of Labor gave instructions and asked Yamazaki to answer the phone himself. After Yamazaki left, Youdao looked at the cafeteria, shook his head secretly, and persuaded everyone to hurry up and start eating, and after eating, those who should go to work and rest should rest, and called the people from the medicine department to help Han Youfu back to the dormitory.

After the meal was served, no one had the heart to move the chopsticks, and at first they were unconscious, but then everyone found out that others didn't eat it, and they decided not to eat it.

Seeing that no one was eating, and no one was willing to work, he had to call the club again. Half an hour later, the Commissioner of Police and the Minister of Industriousness arrived on motorcycles, escorted by armed police. For a moment the air became more tense. Yamazaki had already avoided going out, and Arido reported what had happened, and the two officials discussed a few words before entering the cafeteria. Youdao first said a few words: "We have a little dispute within Xingyaliao, and we are really sorry to alarm the police, and I am also responsible for mismanagement." We belong to the leadership of the Ministry of Diligence, so let's give the lecture now, Mr. Minister. ”

The industrious minister first looked at the whole room from left to right, spread his hands and said, "I don't think there is anything serious!" Han Youfu made a mistake, and Mr. Yamazaki taught him a lesson, which is right. But the punishment was heavier. Mr. Yamazaki has a bad temper, everyone knows it, can't you still forgive it? Everyone is unhappy, I fully understand, if there are any requirements, you can put them to me, and I will try to solve them. The club understands everyone's hard work, but I still have to go to work, and I can't be responsible for delaying production! ”

Zhang Ju was about to raise his hand, but Song Yuke held him down. For a long time, none of the Chinese workers spoke. In desperation, the police commissioner came forward to announce that he had made the following decision from the standpoint of maintaining law and order and ensuring production: the injured Chinese workers should be sent to the hospital for treatment. The people from the "Pharmaceutical Department" worked an extra night and had a holiday today. The rest went to work immediately. Add a bowl of rice to everyone at noon to make a good dish, please execute it immediately. Otherwise, the police were asked to escort them, and the policemen walked in in full armor.

The Chinese workers relented and left the cafeteria under police surveillance.

Lying on the bed, Zhang Ju complained to Song Yuke: "Since the trouble has reached this point, why don't you go out and talk about the conditions, and ask them not to beat people in the future." ”

Song Yuke said: "They are here to find leaders and arrest people, and the fascists have to listen to the opinions of slaves?" It can only be soft grinding, not hard fighting. After this fight, they will always have some scruples, and they will be a little more relaxed on the surface. But the inside may be tighter, the more unfavorable the battle situation is for them, the more fierce they will be, let's not be careless! ”
