Chapter 133
When Yang Yuyan got up in the morning, she felt that there was not much sound on the street, and the small alarm clock on the table was already pointing to eight o’clock, but the curtains were not yet drawn, the room was dim, and the air was very dull.
She sat on the bed for a while, sighed several times, heard the movement in the living room before getting up to change clothes.
When she opened the door, she saw Zhang Ma doing something and Shi Wuwei standing in front of the balcony, looking down. She rushed over to see him, but as soon as he saw her coming, he hurriedly closed the floor-to-ceiling window.
Yang Yuyan: “Let me take a look, I won’t talk.”
Shi Wuwei shook his head, “If you look at it, Zhang Ma will scold me.”
He has been here for such a long time and found out that in Zhang Ma’s mind, Zhu family mother and daughter are all delicate ladies, can’t be blown by the wind or drenched by the rain, a little bit louder will scare them, the best thing to do is just to carry a cup of tea and a handbag, and should not carry any heavy things at all.
Zhang Ma not only think this way, but also “forced” to let the people around them to think this way, should be followed.
So he could open the window when Zhu’s mother and daughter didn’t get up to take a look and ventilate the room, but when Zhu’s mother and daughter got up, she had to close it quickly to avoid scaring them, and if she did, it was definitely not their fault, but someone else’s. Even if he felt that Zhu’s mother and daughter had not gotten up, she would close the window quickly, so as not to scare them.
Even if he thinks the Zhu family mother and daughter are bold enough, but this does not prevent Zhang Ma to treat them as delicate flowers and jade.
Shi Wuwei pushed Second Miss Yang away from the balcony, looking at Zhang Ma in the kitchen, he whispered to her, “Luckily, no one on the street has been arrested right now, and I haven’t seen the gendarmerie either.”
Yang Yuyan was relieved.
Two days ago, the gendarmerie on the street suddenly went crazy and arrested people all over the street. They specialized in arresting those who looked like students and young men.
The streets were in chaos all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Zhu’s family was all at home at that time, even Zhang Ma didn’t go out. The main door of Zhu’s building was also closed, so nothing happened.
Because of this chaos, many robbers emerged, taking advantage of the chaos to break into people’s homes, robbing things, robbing money, but also robbing and killing people.
These hooligans are really smart, when they can get rich, they really know ah!
This kind of time is not the time to be kind, at that time Shi Wuwei was also there, he and Ma Tianbao and the two men who stayed in the building at that time to carry cabinets and tables, blocked the door, the street windows are blocked from the inside.
Luckily they blocked it at that time, because that night a group of people came to pry the door. With the open robbery is almost, first crazy smash the door, threaten the people inside quickly open the door, the money and valuable things out, they only for wealth, not hurt people, if the people inside do not from, wait for them to go in to kill all the people!
A room of people trembling with fear, Shi Wuwei is the most powerful, temporarily tied out a pair of bows and arrows, he and Ma Tianbao have learned archery in school, climbed to the fifth floor to shoot out of the window, rushed to the crowd under the premise of parrying really hit, but the bow’s power is not enough, that arrow is by height to zap in the role of gravitational acceleration.
That group of people ultimately failed to break open the door and had to leave.
Su Chunjun was not at home, and when he called back in the morning, he was scared out of his wits when he heard what Yang Yuyan said, and immediately ran back, and brought back two gendarmes for them to guard the door.
The two yellow-clad gendarmes guarded the Zhu family’s door for two days, scaring off all the petty bullies in the square.
Although the gendarmes only came during the day, at night people still go home as usual, even if this is also useful.
The Zhu family’s reputation would be worse.
But at this moment, good reputation is not as important as life.
Two days have passed, the streets are empty even in the daytime, the tram is no longer running, the people who used to love to ride bicycles have disappeared, only the poor people still have to beg for a living, because the men will be arrested on the streets, now the streets are in a hurry, most of the people who are buying supplies for their families are women, walking in twos and threes, walking in pairs, like rabbits in the bushes, alert and frightened.
Of course, more people threw stones at the windows at night now, and newspapers wrapped in stones followed, most of which scolded the government for brutalizing the progressive youth, but a small portion of which called on people not to clash, not to go out on the streets, but to stay well at home to keep themselves and their families safe.
Yang Yucan cried in her room every night, and in the morning she woke up with two red and swollen eyes, which swelled into a thin slit in less than two days. Fortunately, there was a fire-clearing and brightening ointment in the house, and Zhang Ma cut it out and pasted it on her temples.
Shi Wuwei is on behalf of the professor entrusted him to stay in the Zhu family, these two days suddenly tense, he did not go back to school.
He had always wanted to go back, because he was uneasy about his classmates and teachers at school.
But he couldn’t leave the Zhu family behind either.
Su Chunjun was outside, and there was no way for him to come back right now, but he was able to bring back first-hand news.
He came back yesterday and told them that the mayor hadn’t agreed to the Japanese’s demands.
“The Japanese wanted to send their soldiers into the streets, and that’s why the mayor agreed to the gendarmerie arrests.” He said with a frown and a deep sigh.
The Japanese were aggressive, and the mayor didn’t have a single capable army in his hands, except for the gendarmerie, which had been expanded earlier, and was full of rabble.
He had no other way but to delay, trying to see if there would be a change for the better.
To put it bluntly, he was just listening to God’s will.
But at this point in time, there is no other way but to listen to God’s will.
Su Chunjun has always had a relationship with the gendarmerie, and it is only now that he can mobilize the gendarmerie to protect the Zhu family.
And Shi Wuwei and Ma Tianbao just guarded the gate every day, the two of them taking shifts to guard the gate, and they also called the men of the other two families to avoid them doing bad things secretly.
There was another tenant’s man who happened to be outside when the commotion occurred, and he has not been heard from until now, not knowing whether he is dead or alive, whether he was arrested or escaped, regardless of his family.
The woman of that family hugged her daughter and son and cried every day, making herself sick.
The Zhu family had stocked up on grain before, so they were not afraid of running out of rice for a few days.
But the other tenants did not have this vision, even if they wanted to save a little more rice, they did not know if they had money in their hands.
Zhu Yanshu originally looked at them with pity and wanted to give them some rice.
Zhang Ma and Yang Yuyan persuaded her to stop.
No one knows how long this time will be chaotic, Zhang Ma did not calculate to bring a building of people to eat the food she bought at that time, she did not even count Shi Wuwei at that time, and only prepared the Zhu family and Su Chunjun’s share.
Now, Shi Wuwei and Ma Tianbao have been added to the family, and if they were to give alms to others, the grain they bought wouldn’t last more than a few days.
So Zhu Yanshu went to give a few dollars to the sick family and that was it.
For the rest, let’s sweep the snow in front of each door.
Not long after, Yang Yucan and Zhu Yanshu both got up. After the family ate a breakfast in silence, Zhang Ma hurried Shi Wuwei to bed.
She said, “I’m going to bring food to Ma Tianbao, you go to sleep.”
Shi Wuwei said, “I’ll bring it down to him by hand, so you don’t have to run.”
This time is not about a few dishes and bowls, Zhang Ma is just steaming steamed buns and just pickled vegetables. Shi Wuwei then carried the steamed buns, carrying a bowl of pickles down, this is for the Ma family of three a day’s food.
He came to the first floor, Ma Tian conservative night, people have been a little stunned, all rely on the spirit to support.
Shi Wuwei gave him the food and said, “I’ll guard the daytime, you eat and go to sleep.”
Ma Tianbao nodded, broke open the steamed buns and pinched on the salted vegetables, and with the hot tea, he ate five in one breath before stopping, letting out a long breath, and said to Shi Wuwei, “I don’t have to go out to work for the past two days, and it seems that I’ve gained a bit of weight.”
He pinched a layer of skin on his stomach in bitter joy and said.
Shi Wuwei laughed and said, “Soon, soon it will be fine.”
Ma Tianbao sighed, “I hope so.”
While this was happening, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door. There was a car that stopped in front of the building.
Both Ma Tianbao and Shi Wuwei immediately stood up.
Shi Wuwei said, “It’s Su Chunjun, isn’t it!”
Yesterday Su Chunjun came back at this time.
At this time the door knocked, and outside the door, Su Chunjun said, “Wuwei, it’s me.”
Ma Tianbao and Shi Wuwei then huffed and puffed and moved the cabinet that was on top of the front door and opened the door halfway.
Outside was indeed Su Chunjun, and behind him was a black American automobile, with two gendarmes standing guard just outside the door.
Two gendarmes were standing guard just outside the door.
Su Chunjun’s demeanor changed, becoming cold and stiff, his gaze sharp and piercing, like a knife made of ice, chilling people at first sight.
He squeezed out a smile when he saw Shi Wuwei and Ma Tianbao, and even that smile was a bit stiff.
He walked in, and as Ma Tianbao reclosed the door, Shi Wuwei said, “Your pie is getting bigger and bigger now.”
Su Chunjun knew that he was trying to joke to lighten the mood, and he smiled in tandem, smelling the smell of steamed buns and salted vegetables, he said, “Ah, I’m going to starve to death.”
Shi Wuwei said, “Go up quickly, Zhang Ma has left food for you.”
Su Chunjun went upstairs.
Shi Wuwei had the intention to go up and listen to what he would say, but now it was his turn to guard the door, so he didn’t move, or said to Ma Tianbao, “Go back to sleep.”
Ma Tianbao shook his head and pushed him, “You go up and listen to the news, I’ll keep watch for a while longer. I’m still waiting for you to turn around and tell me.”
Shi Wuwei thought it was indeed true, so he didn’t push back, said “Thank you” and hurriedly ran up as well.
He pushed open the Zhu family’s door and went straight into the house, seeing the Zhu family’s mother and daughter and Su Chunjun in the dining room.
The dishes on the table were re-served.
In front of Su Chunjun was a large bowl of vegetable wontons.
There were no fresh vegetables now, so they used salted vegetables, which were also very tasty.
Yang Yuyan sat next to Su Chunjun and looked at him with a warm gaze, “Is it good? Zhang Ma mixed the filling last night and wrapped it this morning.”
Su Chunjun swallowed it and said with a smile, “It’s delicious, I didn’t eat anything there, and I smoked second-hand smoke all night.”
Shi Wuwei was surprised to find that Su Chunjun’s expression was no longer stiff, it seemed like he only remembered how to smile like a normal person after returning to the Zhu family.
Yang Yuyan: “So hard? They work all night without a midnight snack?”
Su Chunjun sneered, “The mayor can’t even drink bird’s nest soup, how can we be in the mood to eat ah, all go to compete to be filial sons and daughters.”
He, a small shrimp, would of course be even less likely to have anything to eat. The mayor’s family’s subordinates have a high vision and look at people’s food, they won’t remember to leave him a bowl of hot rice.
