Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 182

That night, Guan Xiaoye finally escaped from Yihong Building.

"Come here often in the future, everyone is your own. Just treat Yihonglou as your own home!" the old bustard said reluctantly.

She spoke so loudly that everyone around her could hear her.

In just two or three hours, the news that Director Guan's son visited Huifang has spread.

At the entrance of the alley in Huifangli, several cars were parked waiting to take him home.

Such a big battle scared Guan Xiaoye so much that he refused to get in the car.If he went home like this and let Guan Xiaoye's mother know what happened, he would have to blow the feather duster away.

As a result, Guan Xiaoye ran away instead of getting into the car.

That night, people around Huifangli saw a strange scene.

A young man was running ahead, followed by three or four cars chasing him.

"It must be that this kid doesn't give money when he goes in. He doesn't even look at the place, they will let you go? They must discount your dog legs!" An old man on the street said with experience.

Only then did Guan Xiaoye remember that when he was sitting in Yihonglou tonight, Yihonglou actually closed the door for him.All the girls sat with him.I don’t know how many pots of the best West Lake Longjing I have drunk.In the end, he ran out without taking out a single dollar in a daze.

Guan Xiaoye felt that tonight was the biggest stain in his life.And the culprit of this matter is the damn Qian Xiaobao!
Two days later, Qian Xiaobao appeared at Yuquan Railway Station on the second floor, [-] kilometers away from Harbin.

When the Russians built the Middle East Railway, they saw the beautiful scenery here on the second floor of Acheng, so they built a nursing home here.and dug a well with sweet water.

After the Japanese occupied the Northeast, all the mineral water sold along the railway was produced in Ermendianzi.Gradually, the name of Yuquan came into being here.

Some quick-witted people began to use the water here to boil pots and sell shochu in Erlayerianzi.

Qian Xiaobao walked out of the train station to the main street of Yuquan Village.Looking at the houses in front of me, there are at least hundreds of families.This is a big village in the Northeast.

Qian Xiaobao didn't enter the village in a hurry, but turned to a nearby restaurant and picked up the cotton curtain and walked in.

"The old customer is here, what do you want to eat?" a woman asked.

Qian Xiaobao stood in the middle of the room for a while before getting used to the dim light inside, looked at the woman in her 40s standing in front of her and replied, "What are you hungry for?"

"Is there any butcher's food?" The woman asked again.

"Have a bowl!" Qian Xiaobao replied while sitting at the dining table.

The woman turned around and went into the back room, and soon came out with a large bowl of butchered vegetables.The pig-killing dishes should have been stewed in the big pot, but the few slices of blood sausage in the bowl were put in last.

"Do you want to drink?" the woman asked.

"Two taels hot." Qian Xiaobao said.

Qian Xiaobao came to the second floor this time to find Zhang Junjie's daughter.Guan Xiaoye has already found out in Yihong Building that the child was bought by a person who sold liquor from Erdianzi to Harbin last year.

Qian Xiaobao picked up a piece of pork belly and chewed it in his mouth.A woman holds a glass of hot wine and puts it on the dining table.

Qian Xiaobao took a sip from the wine glass and said, "This wine is really good!"

"Dare to love! Now our Yuquan shochu is becoming more and more famous." The woman said.

"Yuquan? Isn't this place called Erlayerdianzi?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"It's been renamed, it's been changed since last year." The woman replied.

"Auntie, you just said that Yuquan's shochu is becoming more and more famous. Does that mean there are many people who cook pots here?" Qian Xiaobao continued to ask.

"There are five houses, all of which use the good spring water in that glass well," the woman said.

"A few months ago, a shopkeeper surnamed Tian went to Harbin to sell shochu. This time I came here to buy a few hundred catties from him." Qian Xiaobao said.

A village with only a hundred or so households is like a treasure to a woman who has lived here for more than ten years.After listening to Qian Xiaobao's words, she pointed to the village and said, "Tianjia Shaoguo is just to the west of the first street. It's such a big place and you can find it if you look for it."

"Last year when he went to Harbin to sell wine, he bought a little girl back." Qian Xiaobao said while drinking and eating.

Hearing Qian Xiaobao talk about this, the woman showed a smile on her face: "His wife has been in the house for more than ten years, but she can't conceive a child! Last year, he bought a little girl and came back and named him Zhaodi. This year, his wife really gave birth to a big fat girl." Boy!"

"So this little girl has made great contributions to his family's succession." Qian Xiaobao said with a smile.

"Girls are poor lives. They can help the family when they are six or seven years old. They can marry when they are sixteen or seventeen years old. Then they will go to their in-laws' family to have children, farm and pigs for a lifetime." The woman said calmly. replied.

Qian Xiaobao picked up the wine glass and drank it up in a sip, then finished his calculation and walked out of the restaurant.

Qian Xiaobao, who was drinking shochu, was hot all over. He walked along the main street to the west of Yuquan Village against the northwest wind.

Three bare-chested men working in the burning pot of Tian's house were using shovels to dig out the steaming lees from the cellar.

The heat from the distiller's lees makes the room warm and not cold.

Tian Shunchen stood at the entrance of the cellar and picked out the lees in the cellar, and then the two people behind poured it to a place farther away to pile up.

But when he was sweating, he found that the two people outside stopped what they were doing and couldn't stand still.

"I paid you two to work, not to let you two stand here like telephone poles!" Tian Shunchen roared.

One of the two helpers glanced at Tian Shunchen and raised his chin towards the door.

This action means that someone is coming.

Is someone coming to buy wine again?Tian Shunchen hurriedly stood up and looked out from the top of the kiln.

A young man wearing a felt hat and long padded robe came out of the door, leaning on the door and looking at the three of them.

"Which one is shopkeeper Tian? I came from Harbin to discuss something with him." Qian Xiaobao asked.

Tian Shunchen was even happier.Since last year, his wine has been sold in Harbin.This person must have come to buy wine in person.

"Young shopkeeper, please wait for a while, I will come out after I put on my clothes!" Tian Shunchen said while picking up the cotton-padded jacket that was placed on the kiln.

"Don't be idle, both of you, work quickly!" Tian Shunchen said while buttoning up his buttons.Then he walked to the door.

"Young shopkeeper, come with me to the house. If we have something to do, let's sit on the kang and chat." Tian Shunchen said to Qian Xiaobao.

Tian Shunchen took Qian Xiaobao into the main room in the backyard.As soon as he entered the outer room, Qian Xiaobao saw a dirty little girl with messy hair squatting beside the stove.

Qian Xiaobao couldn't move his eyes any longer.His eyes were fixed on the little girl who looked like a cat with a face full of dirt.

"Go out and play, don't squat here and play in the mud!" Tian Shunchen howled, making the little girl tremble in fright, stood up and ran outside.

Qian Xiaobao grasped the child's little hand and said to Tian Shunchen, "What are you calling? Can't you talk well if you have something to say?"

Tian Shunchen was stunned for a long time before reacting and said: "This is my child. It is my business to beat or scold him. What is your business?"

"Your child? She is my child!" Qian Xiaobao said with a raised voice.

Tian Shunchen was completely stunned.He stared at Qian Xiaobao with wide eyes.

There was the sound of shuffling shoes in the room, and a woman in her thirties stood at the door with a nursing child in her arms.

"Open the skylight and tell the truth, I am the father of this child! I am here today to return the child." Qian Xiaobao said to Tian Shunchen.

There was silence in the room, even the little girl looked up at Qian Xiaobao and Tian Shunchen blankly.

"You said it's yours, is it yours? I paid 30 yuan to bring it back from Harbin!" Tian Shunchen said.

"I brought it back from Huifang, right? How much did it cost? Thirty yuan? Isn't it twenty?" Qian Xiaobao asked back.

"I gave that woman 20 yuan, and I gave ten yuan to the old bustard in Yihonglou as a matchmaker." Tian Shunchen replied.

Since Tian Shunchen kept saying that he couldn't do without money, Qian Xiaobao felt relieved.

It seems that the person in front of him can return the child to him by talking about money.

"I didn't say that I took the child away for nothing today. I will still give you the money that should be given to you. Let's go into the house and chat now?" Qian Xiaobao said.Then he held the little girl's hand tightly and walked straight to the back room.

Tian Shunchen saw that Qian Xiaobao's attitude softened, he winked at the woman holding the child and then followed Qian Xiaobao into the room.

The woman walked quickly outside with the baby in her arms.

"Stop!" Qian Xiaobao shouted.Then with his other hand he drew a pistol from his belt.

"Don't worry about it. Both of you can go into the house." Qian Xiaobao said to the two of them.

That's how things are in the world.The attitude of others is often changed because of your attitude.If you act like you want to be reasonable, the other party will think you are easy to bully and want to be a rascal.

If you act like you're a rogue, the other person can't wait to reason with you.

Tian Shunchen must have given his woman the look to ask her to go out and find someone.He just didn't know whether he was looking for an official or a few big men to play rough with Qian Xiaobao.

Qian Xiaobao pointed his gun at the door of the back room and said: "It's useless to talk to anyone, and it's not easy to do here! Let's go into the room and talk!"

The baby who was breastfeeding in the woman's arms suddenly burst into tears.I don't know if Qian Xiaobao was so scared that the woman's milk stopped.

Qian Xiaobao dragged the little girl into the room and sat on the edge of the Kang.Only then did he let go.

He put the pistol on the kang, then picked up the old newspapers on the kang for smoking, tore off a square piece, pinched a bit of the shredded tobacco leaves in the cigarette basket, rolled them on the newspaper, and glued them with spit.

He took out a match from his pocket and lit a cigarette. Qian Xiaobao took a puff, pointed at the newspaper and said, "Look, there is a photo of the Emperor Xuantong on the newspaper. You just use this newspaper to smoke cigarettes? Just rely on this article." I can grab you into the fence!"

The two people who stood at the door at a loss trembled with fright.

What Qian Xiaobao said just now was not to scare people.Manchukuo is full of people who are like dogs for the Japanese to inquire about, and they will find various reasons to blackmail the people.Smoking a newspaper with a photo of Emperor Xuantong is no small matter!

And Qian Xiaobao had already shown his pistol just now.This kid is probably plainclothes, even better than Bao inquiring about it!
Tian Shunchen felt that his legs were trembling uncontrollably and he couldn't walk anymore.

Qian Xiaobao took another puff and let two puffs of smoke slowly come out from his nostrils.

"You said 30 yuan, just 30 yuan! I'll give you another [-] yuan after raising it for a year!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Tian Shunchen still stood there dumbfounded and did not respond.The woman standing behind him couldn't help kicking him.

"You can do whatever you want. But what if that woman comes to me later?" Tian Shunchen asked.

"If she comes to look for you, you should report to the police! Damn bitch, I'll look for her when I return to Harbin!" Qian Xiaobao said.

The little girl has been standing by and timidly listening to the conversation of the adults.She vaguely knew that it seemed to be about herself.

Tian Shunchen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qian Xiaobao put 150 yuan on the kang.It seems that this matter can be closed.I didn't cause trouble.

The woman holding the child freed up a hand to touch the head of Zhaodi who had been with him for a year and couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Seeing the woman crying, Qian Xiaobao's impression of these two people suddenly improved.He took out another ten yuan from his pocket and put it on the kang.

"This ten yuan is my gift to your children." Qian Xiaobao said.

Then Qian Xiaobao took off his cotton coat, wrapped Zhaodi in his arms, and walked outside.

The child who was frightened by Qian Xiaobao's actions burst into tears, and she called Tian Shunchen his father.

"Let's go quickly, he is your father!" Tian Shunchen said hastily.

Cuilian and Zhang Junjie have long been forgotten by such a young child.She thought Tian Shunchen and his wife were her parents.But now a strange man is about to take him away.

"Don't cry, I'm your real father! I'll buy you delicious food when you go out!" Qian Xiaobao said, holding the child and walking quickly outside.

Just over an hour after the proprietress of the restaurant sent Qian Xiaobao away, the door curtain was lifted and Qian Xiaobao came back with a child wrapped in a cotton coat.

"Here, isn't this the little girl who cooks pots in the Tian family?" the woman said in surprise.

"She is my own daughter!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"Auntie, there is no train back to Harbin today. Can I stay with you for one night? I will give you ten yuan!" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Before the woman nodded, Qian Xiaobao said again: "Can you boil some hot water for my daughter to take a bath in a big basin? I'll pay extra if I cook something delicious!"

Half an hour later, the woman rubbed the dirt on Zhaodi who was soaking in the big basin and was still sobbing, and said with a smile: "It seems that he is really your own father. I'm afraid you will take off the cotton coat and wrap it around you in case you are freezing. Don't cry anymore, you will be able to enjoy happiness with your own father in the future."

Qian Xiaobao had already run out at this time.He went around the whole Yuquan Village, but he couldn't buy anything delicious except shochu.

"What should I do? This is the first time I've become a father, and I'm going to lose my word!" Qian Xiaobao said in embarrassment.
