I'm not ready to fart, I'm only wearing civilian clothes.The weather in September is slightly cool, so you should wear a thin coat.Liu Guoqing is not here, and there is no servant yet, life is really messy.Aunt Ma had just washed the thin coat but not ironed it, she just put it on for fear of catching cold and wind.He was also familiar with Zou Shengzu, so he didn't need to be a gimmick, so he wore it out.If it was a formal meeting with Miss Bai, it would be a little rude.

Chuntao stomped her feet anxiously, flicked her braid, and Wu Nong's soft words came out.I don't understand half a sentence of the dialect, so I just talk to each other. After she finished muttering, Fang explained her plan: "Go back to your lady and say that it is convenient for Yi to visit tomorrow night? If not It's convenient, you come here again tomorrow morning and tell me."

Chuntao Chick nodded like pecking at rice, said "OK" twice, and left in a hurry.On the second day, she did not come.I went to eat Aunt Ma's breakfast as usual, and when I went out for a walk, I told Zou Shengzu about it.Zou Shengzu said: "Why did you agree? Bai Wei doesn't know Mr. Yi, but she knows Mr. Liu!"

I just remembered that when I get along with Miss Bai, my alias is "Liu Kezhou".Miss Bai was still in the dark, but I forgot the back of my head.Even so, he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "There will be a good show tonight."

Zou Shengzu stopped, and we were walking to the middle of Wobo Bridge.He leaned out of the bridge sideways, his forearms were undisciplined, and he sat and stood up over the guardrail, shoulders gathered forward.The autumn wind swept over his temples first, and then came to the top of my head.He blocked the wind for me, but he was blinded by the blow.

Miss Bai lived in the Zou mansion, according to the old rules, the name is not correct.There were still Mrs. Zou's belongings in the apartment, but a new young lady was added, and the neighbors couldn't keep their tongues shut, and there were many criticisms.However, the current situation is chaotic, so we no longer demand fame and integrity.But Miss Bai is eager to get her name right, she still wears a modern skin like Shanghai, and entertains salons under Zou Shengzu's name, she looks a bit like a housewife.

Politics is a game that is more obsessed with authorities than the game of catalpa.Once Zou Shengzu was cut off from the wood and exposed, it was the impulse of the low-level people to be short-sighted.Newly promoted Soviet military officers and senior leaders of various parties have taken a fancy to the interests behind big businessmen like Zou Shengzu.The Northeast is a smoky mess. The external troubles are over, but there are still internal troubles.The economy determines politics, determines who is in power, and determines how much power to speak.Zou Shengzu not only represents the Shunjisifang and the Thief market, but also represents the attitude of a group of Japanese-funded enterprises.

Zou Shengzu now closes the door to thank guests and acts in a low-key manner; on the other hand, Ms. Bai is talking empty words and grandstanding, and those who are interested can understand the beauty of curves to save the country.Zou Shengzu refused to comment on this, and he let the political situation and the competition in the business field go his own way.Others thought that if he did not go to Japan, he would not leave China; but I knew that his destination was the United States.

That night, I got dressed up and even oiled my hair.Taking self-portraits in the mirror is like the rice cakes with oily tops and flour noodles eaten by North Koreans. It smells delicious and has a free and easy shape, which can regain the confidence in appearance in the past.But he was still old, with a line extending from the end of his eyes, and the spirited look was no longer in his eyes.

Miss Bai's salon is in the living room, where ten guests were invited.The identities of the guests are varied, and they are all idle ghosts. To me, they are not of much interest.There are two famous writers who are said to have studied in Europe and read through ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics. During the dinner, they worked hard for "Albertina" and didn't even have time to drink a sip of tea. The lady’s cat——in the belly of Ah Hui; there is also a missionary from Guangdong who has been immersed in Fengtian for many years, speaks a mouthful of vernacular Northeast dialect, and only eats Saqima. While eating, he said: "Hey, this thing is called 'killing a horse' over there, I don't understand. To make this pastry, do you have to kill a horse?"

There was a roar of laughter.Miss Bai held down Ah Hui who was about to escape, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "I'm from Shanghai, but I don't know how to eat. It's best to ask the locals."

Smiling and winking at me.

—When I first arrived, there were already five guests in the living room.Miss Bai was very surprised when she saw me.But she is used to being the focus, and she doesn't allow her to lose her composure in public, so I didn't explain much, I just introduced myself as Yi.Ms. Bai told people that she and I were old acquaintances in Shanghai, but from Fengtian, and it was a happy event to be reunited in Fengtian today.Then he asked with a half-truth and half-fake smile: "Then what did you say that you were Mr. Liu, and I made a mistake."

I smiled and said, "Liu is my wife's surname. In the Republic of China, the Han people can get along better than the Manchus. Especially in Shanghai, you still have to follow the trend when doing business."

The words were rounded somersaults, but when they met "Saqima", they mentioned them again.Yin said: "This pastry is called 'Saqima', where is 'kill'? I think we people in the Northeast have a lot of tongue-twisting, and the pronunciation has changed when it is passed on."

Miss Bai spread out one hand, pinched Saqima and looked at it again and again, as if admiring a gem under the light, and said, "What are you talking about? Pastry?"

"It's snacks and pastries, we call them pastries."

One of the writers said: "This thing is called Saqima in Manchu. When translated into Chinese, I read that it is called Gou Nai Zi Tang Zhan."

The second writer said: "Are you looking at a recipe?"

The Guangdong missionary said: "Dog milk? Do you want to use dog's milk?"

Miss Bai smiled and said: "Look, look, the more you say it, the more outrageous it is. Mr. Yi, don't come to explain it!"

I'm so bored, I just want to understand why Miss Bai asked me to come - if I just gather boring people together to pass the time like this, I might as well go home and finish reading "The Family of Gold Fans"!

But I was still saying: "It's a rumour, wolf milk is not a dog's milk. When it is written as a wolfberry, it means wolfberry. But now there is no wolfberry."

Miss Bai said: "That's right, look at the red willows and green flowers on it, there are raisins, melon seeds, green plums, hanging flowers, it's more delicious than medlar alone!"

Inadvertently, the cat escaped from Miss Bai's lap, and went to be a demon somewhere.But as long as it doesn't steal pastries from guests, Miss Bai will let it go.

I remembered the name of this cat. Miss Bai told a romantic story about it. Because the hero in the story was named A Hui, she gave this name to "Favorite Cat" to commemorate that period of youth and ignorance. love.

Thinking of this, I couldn't hold back my mouth any longer, and said sternly: "Since Miss Bai is interested in Manchuria, I'm not going to be polite, I have to say one more thing. You named the kitten 'Ahui' because you had an idea , but I don’t know that the ‘Ahun’ in our words is calling my brother.”

After speaking, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.The scene was embarrassing for a moment, Miss Bai's face was green and white, as if she had opened an unhealthy dyeing workshop.How boring!I simply wanted to get up and say goodbye, but at this moment, two more people came, making up 11 people.

My wife is not good at running a salon, but she also understands the rules, and I know some simple truths.Eleven people, one more, was added temporarily.And I just changed the time yesterday, it seems that the redundant one is me.

There is no reason not to go!

I was about to stand up and say goodbye, but when I saw the two latecomers, I was suddenly taken aback!Completely gave up the idea of ​​leaving.One of them is a tall foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, and the other met once after I returned to China. He was working for the Nanjing government, my immediate boss Wang Meiren!

I restrained myself, picked up the teapot, and waded through mountains and rivers to refill tea for Miss Bai, who was not directly opposite, so that the abrupt behavior just now had a reasonable reason.

Miss Bai warmly greeted her, but she couldn't get up, and called the foreigner coquettishly: "Igor!" Then she pretended to be angry, curled her waist, and said to my boss, "Well, Mr. Wang is busy with something, so I didn't hug him today. Wish, you delivered it to your door by yourself!"

A foreigner named Igor—whose name sounds like a Soviet—sat beside Miss Bai as usual, and one of the writers who was originally next to Miss Bai actually gave up his seat.I watched them playfully and listened to them quietly.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time." The boss smiled and spread his hands, "I just finished my business with Igor and came to your banquet non-stop. You refused to enjoy tea, so I had to go to another house to ask for a cup of tea." gone."

That's what he said, but he didn't see him in action.Miss Bai ordered Chuntao to pour tea, and said, "Can I send you a sip of tea?"

What a novelty.Miss Bai is long-sleeved and good at dancing, and she has some communication skills.She is a woman, and she is a woman who is loved by men. There are not many women like this, but it is not impossible.Miss Bai is well aware of her own charm, and in addition, she is different from other women - she also understands the low nature of men who "steal better than not to steal".Women should take themselves very seriously, and to train men, they need to be indifferent, cold and aloof.However, a woman with high self-esteem has her eyes higher than the top of her hat, and Miss Bai has her eyes higher than the top of her hat, so she is the most beautiful lady in a man's heart.

But Miss Bai would put down her body and speak soft words to a man. I could almost hear the jealous and broken hearts of the men around me.

After drinking tea, Boss Wang looked over one by one, his eyes flicked across my face, and then he asked Ms. Bai with a smile: "Is there a new face, please introduce me?"

He may have forgotten me, but I remember him.After the two greeted each other, Miss Bai talked to Igor again.During the conversation, I learned that Igor was a senior military officer of the Soviet Union. He commanded the army to repel the Japanese bandits, and he was in the limelight.

The Red Army of the Soviet Union was a great hero who helped others, and writers and missionaries lost their status, so they could only drink tea casually.They couldn't get into the topic, so Miss Bai didn't talk too much about the views of the minority, and started the meal.The guests walked towards the dining room in twos and threes. Miss Bai asked Chun Tao to lead the way, and she fell behind alone, and said softly, "Mr. Yi, please stay."

I exhaled stagnant and angry breath, seeing Miss Bai much more pleasing to the eye, and waiting for what she really wanted to say: "Miss Bai, please tell me."

"I heard that Mr. Zou was lucky enough to be taken care of by an old friend named Yi. I wanted to thank you. I heard from Chuntao that Mr. Zou is doing well, but he has just changed places, and the specific address of his residence is not clear. It is Mr. Liu you see today, really Surprise."

The words were twisted and crooked, and I leaned towards Zou Shengzu again, seeing that Miss Bai's beautifully painted lips looked more and more like a mouthful of blood.I squinted my eyes ironically, not intending to save face for her, so I said: "Mr. Zou and I have known each other since we were young, and we are like brothers and sisters. We are talking about whether to take care of him or not. It's just that he is miserable and doesn't have a good doctor to see him. My wife is not around, so it is inevitable that I will be caught blind. I also feel very uncomfortable. It is not a beggar wandering on the street, who can't live without a good house, and has to go out to find a crime. Tell me, is he stupid?"

Sullen anger appeared on Miss Bai's face, but she was subdued, but there were clues of foreboding in the lines of her face, and her words became cold and hard: "This is Lai Xu's consideration, Mr. Yi can ask him as much as he wants."

Lai Xu is a watchword that Zou Shengzu hasn't used for a long time, but it was used by an outsider to pretend to be familiar, and he was extremely annoyed.In the past in Shanghai, I only felt her squeamishness as a girl, but didn't notice her selfishness.But when it comes to incompleteness, she fills it up with other people's things, and she chatters around, showing off like a male peacock.Immediately he didn't want to stay anymore, and said: "Yi has something else to do, thank you Miss Bai for your hospitality, so I won't stay."

To be honest, the Japanese are gone, the whole world celebrates, and I don't want to participate in the remaining inner ditches.I'm getting old, and I just want to get by with Liu Guoqing one day.The appearance of Wang Meiren gave me a bad feeling.Liu Guoqing has not yet returned, and there are more and more Kuomintang parties active in the Northeast, and they have in-depth contacts with the Soviet Union. The government that takes over is probably about to complete the handover, and a new era is coming.

Turning around to leave, Miss Bai grabbed her.Ms. Bai's proud and proud eyes were full of tears, and they welled up more and more quickly.She begged in a low voice: "Mr. Yi, let me go and see him. I'm really worried about him."

I froze half of my body, once a woman used the trump card of "crying", a man would lose his temper.I softened my voice and said: "What I said just now, I said it too seriously——"

Before I finished speaking, another person turned back in the dining room, and when I looked up, my boss, Mr. Wang Meiren, was crossing his arms and looking at us jokingly.Hearing that the words were cut off, he raised his hand and said, "I just came here and didn't hear anything. I came here to urge you to eat."

Miss Bai bowed her head in embarrassment, pulled off her veil and went to the dining room, leaving Wang Meiren and I to break up.I politely said "please" to Wang Meiren, he graciously took my arm, wrapped my shoulders around my waist, like an iron man who has been with me for many years, and only listened to him chatting and laughing happily to eat together.When they were seated, they were next to each other.

Dinner is Western food, I can't tell if it's good or bad, and I don't have a good appetite, so I just make gestures and don't send it to my mouth.During the dinner, someone told a joke, so I was absent-minded and just smiled in agreement.Suddenly a hand came over, I was startled, looked at Wang Meiren, and at the same time stretched out my left hand to block it, but he grabbed it, turned my palm up, and wrote the word "wait" on it.

I lowered my eyes, and my heart was reluctantly cold.

I joined the party only to fight the Japanese, not to mess with politics and fight with my compatriots.
