Roaming in the world of film and television

After Chen Jitang lost power, Zhang Yonghua took Xin'er back to Foshan to avoid disaster. It was Lin Yue who helped the mother, daughter and their mother escape the capture of Yu Hanmou's men who surrendered to the Central Army, and went down the river to Hong Kong by water.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Yue is their benefactor, although because of Wu Zhongsu's relationship, since last year, Ye Wen tried his best to keep a distance from senior brother and junior brother Lin, as if I am not close to anyone, and the bowl of water is flat, But for Zhang Yongcheng, the friend that this younger sister met on the train is far more reliable than Wu Zhongsu's husband and senior brother... This has nothing to do with the closeness of the relationship, the main reason is that Wu Zhongsu is stubborn and stupid, but he is still self-righteous, so he can be a teacher .

Zhang Yongcheng quickly controlled his emotions: "Why are you here?"

She hurriedly pulled him into the house, pawed his head outside, and saw that the traitors who were not following him breathed a sigh of relief, and gently closed the door.

A few days ago, Ip Man took her jade bracelet to the grain store to exchange rice, and heard from the driver who used to pull his feet that the Japanese were looking for the top executives of the Foshan Ching Wu Association because there was evidence that they were actively recruiting boxers from the north before the Japanese army occupied Foshan. , the intention is wrong, Lin Yue, as the vice president of the Jingwu Association, is naturally the key "care" object.

But fortunately, it was rumored that he left Foshan first and went to HK to avoid disaster.

Unexpectedly, he appeared in the city now, and swaggered like no one else was there.

Lin Yue looked at her nervous look a little funny: "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. The Japanese army had just occupied Foshan at that time. As a non-governmental organization that was hostile to them, it was normal for the Jingwu Association to be suppressed. Now the Japanese are standing in Foshan. With a firm foothold, the fire to arrest important members of the Jingwu Association has also weakened a lot, and they need the existence of Lin's trading company to maintain the market, as long as they don't do anything out of line, they won't touch me."

Zhang Yongcheng thought about it seriously, and thought it was such a reason.

After the Japanese entered Foshan, they wantonly destroyed factories and buildings. The population of the city dropped from more than 300,000 in its heyday to 70,000, and the market economy was on the verge of collapse.

The people above realized that it would not work to exhaust the lake, so they began to relax control, allowing businesses such as food, clothing, medicine, and energy to operate under the supervision of traitors. The trading company run by Lin Yue can sell daily necessities such as clothes, soap, and matches from Hong Kong. Coming to Foshan was regarded as an economic lifeline, and the Japanese naturally had to weigh the pros and cons, making a choice between arresting a warrior or using him to restore the Foshan market.

As Lin Yue said, as long as he is an honest businessman, the Japanese will not touch him in the short term.

Seeing her calm down, Lin Yue took a look at the room. There are only two rooms in the front and back, the stove and the living room are connected together, and the smoke is smoky every day, and the old furniture nearby is covered with a layer of dust that cannot be wiped off.

The bedroom and the living room were separated by a hollow screen and rags. There was a bed with bricks on one side, and Ah Zhun was lying on it.

"Where's Senior Brother Ye?"

Zhang Yongcheng straightened his loose hair at the sideburns, and forced a smile: "He went to a friend's house as a guest."

Visiting a friend's house?

In such a precarious environment, who has nothing to go to a friend's house as a guest? I'm afraid Ye Wen has gone to work as a coolie, because when he entered the room, he saw a long gown in a wooden basin in the corner, covered with a lot of soot .

This Ip Man, although he speaks modestly and acts in a modest manner, he has a kind of detached aloofness in his bones, and he refuses to be favored by others even after being in distress. The day before yesterday, he went to Qingquan's factory with two deals, and the other party told him that he ran into Ip Man on the street. , and kindly persuaded him to work in a cotton spinning factory, at least he could feed and clothe his family, but Ye Wen refused.

"Sit, you sit." Zhang Yongcheng put him on the stool next to the Eight Immortals table, and went to the stove to get a thermos to help him make tea, but after searching for a long time, he only found a little tea powder in the iron box.

cluck cluck...

A muffled sound came from the direction of the bedroom.

Lin Yue looked towards the place where the sound came from. Ye Zhun was touching his belly and looking at him curiously.

"Ah Zhun, don't you know me?"

"Yes, you are Uncle Lin who teaches children to read and write."

Back when Zhang Yongcheng took his son shopping, he passed Fenjintang. He had seen it a few times. Ye Wen also joked that he would send Ah Zhun to read and read when he was a year or two older. fee.

"Oh, by the way, your paintings are also very good."

Lin Yue smiled: "It's almost evening and you're still taking a nap, why don't you go out and play?"

A Zhun said with a serious face: "Dad used to love boxing very much, but it's been a long time since he did it. He said that it's easy to get hungry. We don't have any money now, so we need to save some money. Then I won't go out to play anymore, Mom." I can eat more with my dad."

Lin Yue couldn't help but smile: "Ah Zhun is so good."

After speaking, he opened the bag on the table, took out a small iron box with an English cover and handed it over: "You are hungry, these are the biscuits I brought from HK, eat some first."

A Zhun got up from the bed and wanted to pick up the iron box he handed over, but stopped halfway through his hand, and looked at Zhang Yongcheng with doubts.

"Since it's a gift from Uncle Lin, take it." She held the teacup in both hands and pushed it in front of Lin Yue. His complexion and spirit are much worse.

Ah Zhun thanked Uncle Lin, took the tin box, opened the lid with all his strength, grabbed a handful of biscuits, and stuffed them into his mouth, causing the powder to scatter.

At this moment, Zhang Yongcheng made a small move. She walked over and pushed the iron box in front of Ah Zhun, so that the falling debris would not be scattered on the bed, but would be collected in the iron box.

Before she got married, she was the daughter of the deputy mayor. After she got married, the young mistress of a rich family had better living conditions than ordinary people. What about now? Just because Ye Wen was down and out, she has never left her, and she has learned how to live an ordinary life. She is an admirable and good woman.

Lin Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was a bit astringent, with a circle of tea leaves floating on it, which seemed cheap, but he drank it naturally.

"Sister-in-law, do you still remember what you said to me when you went to the backyard of Fenjin Hall to find Senior Brother Ye?"

Zhang Yongcheng thought for a while, then nodded with a smile.

Lin Yue said: "I haven't eaten your cooking in Foshan for several years, so I won't leave tonight."

Zhang Yongcheng is very happy with what he said, but the biggest problem now is that there is only a little rice in the urn. During the day, Ye Wen goes to the mine to do coolies for others, and half of the roasted sweet potatoes distributed at noon have to be saved and brought back to A Zhun as rations. , where there is extra food for entertaining guests, I can't say... I can only wait for Ye Wen to come back, let him pawn the piece of jade that his father gave her when the two got married, and buy some meat and vegetables.

"Oh, right."

Lin Yue took out a long and narrow oiled paper bag from the bag, which contained a piece of bacon about four catties.

He took out another oiled paper bag, with cotton rope on it, and two tail fins exposed underneath, which should be a pair of carp, weighing more than ten catties.

This is not the end.

The third oiled paper package was a small roast goose, the brown oiled paper was almost covered with fat.

This is not the end.

He scratched his hand in the bag, and took out several boxes of canned beef and a bottle of wine.

I didn't expect so many things to be packed in such a small bag.

Zhang Yongcheng looked dumbfounded, and Ah Zhun, who was sitting on the bedside eating biscuits, swallowed his saliva.

In the past, these foods were nothing to the Ye family, but now, they are a big meal to improve life.

"Foshan is not the same as it used to be. When I came here, I just walked around the street and bought such a few things. Sister-in-law, you can do it."

Zhang Yongcheng took a deep look at him, his nose was slightly sour, and his heart was full of appreciation and gratitude. This cheap junior who didn't have much growth with Ye Wen was really good to their family.

Ye asked who? He has never been willing to accept favors from others, even Qingquan who owed them money asked him to go to the factory to help him, but he refused. If Lin Yue gave money, he would definitely not accept it, but what if he came to the house as a guest? It's not called alms when guests bring ingredients to eat, it's called etiquette, so Ye Wen doesn't have to feel indebted.

...

When it was getting dark, Ye Wen came back from the mine. His face, body, and clothes were covered with soot. Zhang Yongcheng waited for him to wash his face and change his clothes. , served everyone a bowl of porridge, and washed A Zhun's hands, and then sat down next to Ye Wen under Lin Yue's persuasion, and the four of them sat around the table while eating and talking.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, while Zhang Yongcheng was clearing up the leftovers on the table, Lin Yue turned the commonplace talk into serious business.

"Senior Brother Ye, I actually want to ask you for your help with this visit."

Ye Wen was stunned for a moment: "Junior brother, tell me, as long as I can do it."
