Shi Guangyao sighed unhappily and said,"No wonder her behavior is always strange. It's indeed difficult for her. Fortunately, I didn't fall too deep and withdrew early. I didn't hurt our friendship because of her.”
He continued," Everyone has their own aspirations. The relationship between us brothers is deep. We will still meet often to take care of each other in the future. I still want to congratulate you."”
Shi Tou was right. Everyone had their own aspirations. Even if Yao Shunru had no job, he would not be willing to work in the Garrison Command. He studied economics and did not want to be associated with soldiers.
Yao Shunru said sincerely,"Yes, our friendship has always existed." As long as we don't leave Shanghai, we can still keep in touch and meet up from time to time. I also sincerely thank you and congratulate you on your successful career.
Let's drink to our future. We'll drink until we're drunk. See if you can contact Li Shaohua.”
"No need for today. I still have a lot of things to do in a hurry. Let's meet another day and say goodbye.”After Stone finished speaking, he turned around and left with his head lowered.
That afternoon, Yao Shunru bid farewell to school, called a rickshaw, and moved his luggage to his uncle's house. When he arrived at his uncle's cave door, he saw that the door was tightly shut.
He knocked on the door for a long time before he heard Aunt shouting, Lei Le…Lei Le…opened the small window on the door. Seeing that it was him, he hurriedly opened the door and said,""Third Young Master, it's good that you're here. The old and young don't want this family anymore. They haven't heard from each other for half a month.”
Aunt helped to move the luggage into the house and closed the door again. She kept scolding,"Your uncle has been in Nanjing for more than a month. He only called once, and Manli disappeared without a trace.
I was just about to look for you, but I didn't know how to make a call. I was so anxious that I didn't dare to open the door all day. Ouch! The vegetables in my pot are burnt…" She hurried to the kitchen. It turned out that she was cooking.
Yao Shunru had just moved his luggage to the living room when Aunt walked out of the kitchen and said,"You don't have to worry about your luggage. I'll help you pack. Come in and eat. I prepare meals for a few people every day, but no one comes back. I have to eat leftovers every day.”
During the meal, his aunt nagged again. Three months ago, Nanjing held some National Assembly to elect a president. Was there a need to elect a president? Manli went to Nanjing every two or three days, saying that she was going to steal some news. Jiang Jieshi was the president, so what news was there to steal?
Later, when he heard that Wang Yunwu had become the Minister of Finance, your uncle was overjoyed. A book stamper had become the God of Fortune. This was big news. I don't know why, but he has just taken office and has invited your uncle over time and time again.
She was talking about the National Congress of the National Party in Nanjing in early May. The task of this assembly was to implement the Constitution of the Republic of China, which was formulated by the National Assembly in 1946, elect the president and vice president of the National Government, and implement the presidential system. In the first government after the constitution was implemented, Weng Wenhao would be appointed as the Premier and form a new cabinet.
The Wang Yunwu she was talking about was Yao Runcai's superior and old friend. In 1946, he resigned as the general manager of the Commercial Press and went to Nanjing to take part in politics. He claimed to be an expert in economic management and said that he was not going to be an official, but to do things.
Manli's whereabouts were indeed a mystery. Her entire family was kept in the dark about her whereabouts.
Yao Shunru told her aunt," I've found a job. I'll report to work at Pu Xing Bank the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a long time. I've troubled you."”
When Aunt Yi heard this, she said happily,""That's great…That's great. This is really a joyous occasion! What trouble? We're family. This is your home. From now on, you'll live in your own home. Just tell me what you want and eat.”
The next morning, Yao Shunru habitually got up at the first glimmer of dawn and prepared to go out for morning exercise after washing up. He suddenly realized that he was no longer in the school dormitory, but was staying at his uncle's house. Aunt and Aunt were still asleep, so he could only lie down again.
However, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how he tossed and turned. The scenes of his three years of school life kept flashing in his mind. Tian Meixiu's figure swayed in front of him again, making him feel endless pain, suffering, and trouble.
He got out of bed and put on his clothes again. He was restless, like an ant on a hot pan, pacing around the room. He noticed that there was a copy of "The Legacy of La Traviata in Paris" on the table under the sofa. He did not know which guest had left it behind.
He had read this book when he was in high school. It was the masterpiece of the famous French writer, Dumas Jr. It told the story of a poor country girl who came to Paris in the 1840s. She fell into the vanity fair and became a social star in the upper class. Later, she met a rich young man and played a heart-wrenching and bitter love story.
He quickly bent down to take out the book and sat on the sofa to flip through it, trying to calm himself down. He was quickly attracted by the sad plot in the novel and couldn't help but shed tears when he saw the true feelings. No wonder some people praised,"A poor scroll of La Traviata, completely broken."”
Time slowly passed by, and he was completely unaware of the noise outside the window. It was only when his aunt came to urge him to eat breakfast that he woke up from his dream.
After breakfast, he felt unaccustomed to the emptiness of the house. He told his aunt that he was going out to meet his classmates and buy some clothes. He would not be home for lunch.
He walked out of the Shikumen, feeling very empty and lost. He walked east along the four-way road and unconsciously came to the Bund Huangpu River.
He saw the endless stream of traffic on Zhongshan Road. The magnificent and magnificent buildings of all countries, including Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, and the combination of Chinese and Western styles, made his eyes light up.
He stood by the guardrail and looked back at the southwest. The Union Building was diagonally opposite him. He would become a member of this building tomorrow, but he did not feel happy or smug at all. The future could not dispel the haze in his heart.
He casually walked toward the Baiduqiao outside. When he passed by the gate of Huangpu Park, he stopped and hesitated for a moment. He really didn't know if he should visit the old place again. In the end, he still ran quickly toward the White Crossing Bridge.
Just as he reached the head of the Baidu Bridge, a soldier blocked his way out. He moved to the left, and the soldier moved to the left. He hurriedly dodged to the right, and the soldier also moved to the right. He looked up and saw that it was Li Shaohua. The two of them clapped happily and laughed.
Yao Shunru and Li Shaohua had an extraordinary relationship. They had lived in the same dormitory for three years and had never shared their food and use.
Moreover, he could be considered Li Shaohua's half-savior. Last year, Li Shaohua was arrested and thrown into death row as a commoner. He had to run around to rescue him, and his uncle had to run to Nanjing to get the handwritten order to get Li Shaohua out of death row.
Last winter, Li Shaohua was the first to discover that he had suddenly fallen into a coma due to an emergency. He had been by his side during his hospitalization. Therefore, their relationship was closer than blood brothers.
Yao Shunru asked curiously,"A scholar who has been away for three days should be looked at in a new light. Where did you get a military uniform?"”
"It's a long story. When my two comrades come, you know them. Let's go to the park and talk.”Li Shaohua smiled.
Yao Shunru was a little flabbergasted by the new term "comrade-in-arms". He asked,"You didn't go to the battlefield, where did you get your comrades?”
Li Shaohua knew that he had misspoken. He pointed at the Suzhou Creek road under the bridge and said,"Look, they're already here."
Yao Shunru followed Li Shaohua's hand and saw two soldiers walking over shoulder to shoulder. When he walked closer, he recognized that they were the two bodyguards sent by Shi Guangyao's father, Guo Zhibing and Li Quanshan, when he visited Chongming Island in the winter of the previous year.
Yao Shunru and Li Shaohua quickly went up to greet them. The other party also ran over with a smile. The four of them smiled happily and walked into Huangpu Park.
Yao Shunru went to the booth to buy four bottles of soda. They found a shady spot on the grass and sat down. He said impatiently,"Tell me quickly, what is going on? How did you two end up together?”
"It feels like a dream. Yesterday afternoon, I was going to school to look for you, but I met Shi Guangyao on the way. I was dragged to the garrison headquarters by him and became the secretary of the economic management department.
"Later, I found out that I was your bodyguard. I was just about to look for you this afternoon, but I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really a coincidence, haha…" Li Shaohua laughed.
"I sent an urgent telegram to your house yesterday.”
"Really? I haven't been home yet. Why did you send me a telegram?”
"Yesterday, I saw two advertisements for financial personnel in Shen Bao and urged you to apply.”
"I really have to thank you for your concern. Although I reported and put on my military uniform, my family still doesn't know anything and is still waiting for me to go back. Therefore, I had no choice but to ask for leave from the department. The Section Chief was quite open-minded and allowed me to take three days off. I was prepared to return to Chongming tomorrow. Before I left, I asked them to come over to discuss some private matters.”
"Oh, that's great. What a coincidence. I have two more friends now. What private matters do you want to talk about?”
Li Shaohua said," Of course I can. Do you still remember the story that the one-armed prince told three years ago,'It's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him off'?
Brother Quanshan was the youngest son of Li Yueyun, who was framed by Yu Shaoliang.
The three brothers were captured by Yu Shaoliang. The eldest brother was later killed by the Japanese. He and his second brother were sold to become able-bodied men. The elder brother was enlisted in the camp as a soldier. Because he was not yet fourteen years old, he was assigned to be a porter.
Later on, the troops were scattered, and Second Brother's whereabouts were unknown. He escaped and wandered to Shanxi to suffer a lot. It was not until he returned to his hometown after the recovery that he found out that his parents had long passed away, and his sister's whereabouts and life were unknown. In a fit of anger, he rejoined the army and swore to avenge his family.
Brother Zhibing and Liu Biao had a grudge against each other for stealing his wife. Liu Biao was the local tyrant of Chongming and Dongsha. You should remember that Master Liu. After we left, Mr. Chen's family was harassed. Fortunately, Mr. Chen had a background.”
"I remember, I remember. It's really a coincidence. How could I not remember? I don't know what you're going to do now, do you need my help?”Yao Shunru said.
Li Shaohua said," Yu Shaoliang and Liu Biao have committed heinous crimes. Yujiaping in Qidong and Dongsha in Chongming are separated by a river. These two pests have long been in cahoots with each other. Their hands are stained with the blood of the common people. If they are not killed, it will not be enough to appease the public's anger. Today's society is dark, and traitors like these are still at large. We are looking for an opportunity.”
"This Yu Shaoliang is in the open. He won't be able to escape sooner or later. The trickier one is Liu Biao. His movements are treacherous and difficult to capture. We must first kill Liu Biao and then kill Yu Shaoliang to avoid alerting the enemy.”Platoon Leader Guo said hatefully.
"This matter needs to be discussed in the future. We must not leak the news. I don't know when Brother Shunru will start work. If you find any traces of Liu Biao's activities, inform us immediately. We know that brother's martial arts are good, and we will naturally ask brother to help when we need help.”Li Shaohua said.
Li Quanshan, who had been sitting quietly at the side, suddenly stood up and said,"I'll leave this matter to Mister Yao. I suddenly remembered that I have an urgent matter to attend to and have to rush back to the barracks.”
Li Shaohua and Guo Zhibing looked at each other and stood up. Guo Zhibing said,"I'll go with you."
Li Shaohua said,"Brother Shunru, let's say goodbye for now and visit again another day."”With that, they left together.
In fact, things were not that coincidental, nor were they that simple. A year ago, Li Shaohua was already a genuine member of the Party. Later, he developed Guo Zhibing and Li Quanshan.
The three of them had come to Huangpu Park today to discuss more important matters. Coincidentally, they met Yao Shunru. Due to the organization's principles, it was inconvenient for them to tell each other, so they could only say goodbye.
