Chapter 289
Dai Yushu, wearing a gentleman’s hat, came down from the ship, carrying an old suitcase, looking like a poor man.
The Japanese soldiers guarding the pier rushed up to search the case and saw that there were only a few pieces of rags in the case, pushed him away and went to pull down a man.
Dai Yushu climbed up from the ground, picked up the suitcase, walked outside the pier before meeting a yellow car.
He beckoned for a car, the yellow car stopped in front of him, the driver asked: “Where are you going, sir?”
Dai Yushu: “Nanjing University.”
Zhu Jia Lou’s morning has not been so lively for a long time.
After three days of eating and drinking, Zhu Er Miss’s intestines are not very obedient, she can’t eat anything early in the morning, she can only sit quietly at the table and drink egg noodle soup.
Ms. Zhu ate hard-boiled eggs and drank milk, said she: “Serves you right, let’s see if you still dare to eat so much chocolate and cookies in the future.”
Ms. Zhu finished a box of chocolates and cookies in two days, and she still ate three meals and drank sweet soup.
It is Zhang Ma this time also not to her, said: “I think it’s all that American Coke thing, she has to drink four or five bottles a day, water are not drinking, that soda is vapor, what stomach can hold so drink ah, is not to diarrhea it.”
Mr. Su has the intention to speak for his fiancée, but he also disapproved of the second Miss Zhu gluttonous snacks eat bad stomach, so he had to shut up.
The second miss Zhu became a target, and had to be better behaved, quietly listen to the lesson, and then quietly send Su Chunjun out.
The two of them stood in front of the main door, Zhu Er Miss dare to make a small temper to Mr. Su.
She hung her face, not looking at him, cold and indifferent.
Su Chunjun then admitted his fault: “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have brought back so many delicious food, so you ate a bad stomach, it’s my fault.”
Zhu Er Miss hit him with her small fist, “I’m not that unreasonable.”
Su Chunjun then smiled and took her hand and shook it, saying, “Don’t be angry, wait until you’re better before you eat.”
Zhu Er Miss pushed him out the door, so angry that she didn’t want to talk to him.
She bounced back and Ms. Zhu asked her what she was doing today.
Ms. Zhu: “The house is also cleaned up, and you can’t go out shopping, what do you want to do at home?”
Zhu Yuyan said she wanted to go to school.
Ms. Zhu was satisfied: “It’s good to read a book, to cultivate your mind. Go.”
Zhu Yuyan then ran upstairs and went to the study to read her own book.
Zhang Ma received all the dishes in the kitchen and came out to ask: “We always say that we will invite someone, can we invite this person today?”
Ms. Zhu: “What are you worried about? If they can’t come, they’ll still do the dishes, so you won’t be needed.”
Mrs. Zhang: “Forget it, they cost me a few cuts of toilet paper to wash the dishes, and at this rate, there won’t be enough paper in the house to wipe their asses. There’s no paper for sale outside.”
Ms. Zhu heard that this was a real problem: “What should we do? How much straw paper is left at home?”
Mrs. Zhang: “There are still two bundles left. If we don’t let them waste it, we can use it for a month or so, but with the two of them, it’s only enough for three days.”
Ms. Zhu: “Wait for me to hang up the phone and ask Mr. Su’s family where they bought the straw paper.” She looked at the clock and said, “Wait until he gets to the office.”
Zhang Ma said, “Don’t call, ask Yan Yan to call, so they can talk more.”
Su Chunjun entered the office on the front foot, and received a call from Second Miss Zhu chasing after him on the back foot.
Zhang Ma was supervising from the side.
Su Chunjun held the microphone, uh-huh nodded, with a smile on his face, he hung up the phone, Chen driver asked him, “What is it about?”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “Nothing, it’s a call from home, asking me where I bought the straw paper at home.”
Chen driver was dumbfounded: “The family can’t do without you.” Su Chunjun defended his family: “I don’t know what to do, but I don’t know what to do.”
Su Chunjun defended his family, “It’s nothing to laugh about. Now that the paper mills are not open, and there are no more hawkers carrying paper all over the streets, the family is afraid of getting me into trouble before asking more.”
However, Su Chunjun didn’t know where to buy the straw paper, so he asked the Chen driver, “Where do you buy your straw paper from?”
Driver Chen laughed, “I just bought it, but it’s just not a very auspicious place. I bought it at a coffin store. They sell yellow paper there as well as straw paper, it’s just that no one usually goes to them to buy it. The paper there is much cheaper than the paper shop’s. I’m poor, so I have to save a little bit more or less.”
Su Chunjun: “Are you scolding me for not giving you a chance to get rich?”
The master and servant joked and laughed before getting to work.
Jiang ordered his men to keep an eye on Su Chunjun, and naturally the call was quickly reported, only to be heard in confusion by Jiang and Secretary Zhao.
VIP Jiang: “His fiancée told him to remember about asking for a maid at home. Didn’t I tell him to pick from the Feng family’s underlings?”
Secretary Zhao: “He told me to wait until after you left to take the people away.”
Essential Jiang nodded, “Oh. Do you think it’s true or false what his fiancée said about this straw paper?”
Secretary Zhao: “How am I supposed to know that? It’s just an article, if it’s false, this is too false. You can’t make up blind stories like this.”
Essential Chiang: “I also think it’s strange here. If the spies really had a plot, how could they not make up such a blind story. That the little girl can’t stay away from her lover and stirs him up over nothing?”
Secretary Zhao laughed, “I haven’t seen that Miss Zhu Er, she seems to be a student still in college, under twenty years old.”
Essential Jiang: “Yes, that seems to be the case then.”
The two waited until the afternoon to see that Driver Chen had been dispatched by Su Chunjun to buy grass paper.
VIP Jiang cried and laughed: “For a straw paper, not only did you make a special phone call, but you also asked us to guess for a day. This Second Miss Zhu, I’m getting more and more eager to meet her in person.”
Secretary Zhao: “Wait until the day of the banquet and you’ll be able to see it. It’s just that you didn’t bring your wife, should I prepare a female companion for you?”
VIP Jiang: “What female companion do I need? Just go as you are. You inform down about the banquet today, Su Chunjun, remember to ask him to bring his fiancée.”
Secretary Zhao: “Yes.”
Su Chunjun received a notification from Secretary Zhao before he got off work that VIP Jiang was going to hold a banquet, and the list of guests had already been sent out, basically the heads of the city, and the Japanese had only invited people from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, not the Japanese military.
Secretary Zhao: “It’s just a usual family banquet. The VIP didn’t bring his wife, I’m afraid the greeting is not good, Mr. Su, you have to make sure to bring your wife, I’ve heard that your wife is a high achiever in the university, good at many languages, and shrewd and resourceful, so when the time comes, you two good couple can make more efforts.” He hinted, “It’s about time for Old Feng and Old Cai to come to a conclusion.”
Did Mayor Feng escape or not? And how did Cai Wenhua die?
This banquet was used to explain these two things.
In other words, to stabilize people’s minds.
Su Chunjun had already packaged several roadside corpses as Mayor Feng and his entourage, and wrote a report on them, so he was sure that Mr. Jiang would publicize the report at the banquet to “right the wrongs” of Mayor Feng. He is the beloved general of Mayor Feng, and has been criticized for a long time. After Mayor Feng is cleared of any wrongdoing, he will be able to regain his innocence.
Su Chunjun understood and said, “It’s all because the adults are lifting up, and the insider is just an ordinary student. When the time comes, I will definitely come with her to give the dignitary a shout-out.”
On his way home, Su Chunjun sighed as he remembered Zhang Ma’s repeated urging of the servants.
He was going to “forget” again today.
However, remembering that he was going to be alone in the kitchen washing dishes with Miss Zhu again in the evening, made his heart happy.
When he returned home, opened the door and entered the house, Zhu Er Miss greeted him with a smile and said: “You’re back, ah, a lot of straw paper! Look who is back?”
Su Chunjun and Driver Chen put down the dozens of pounds of straw paper they had bought, and went into the house to see that Professor Dai was still standing there on the sofa talking to Ms. Zhu.
Driver Chen glanced at Mr. Su’s cheap father-in-law and said: no wonder Mr. Su was able to persuade his mother-in-law, who had been living alone for many years, to remarry, this old white face is no worse than Mr. Su. This old man is no worse than Mr. Su. Mr. Su has a lot of heart.
Su Chunjun greeted him with a smile, ”Professor Dai, you’re back! Have you arranged everything in your old home?”
Professor Dai looked up and saw the three people in front of the door, nodded to Driver Chen before saying to Su Chunjun: “Thanks to your care, I went back just in time to repair the graves for my family, fortunately there are still people in the family, and have already re-erected the house, fixing it up with the clan is imminent, and now that I’m going back to my hometown, I can be considered to be returning home with the clothes on my back.”
Su Chunjun: “Congratulations.”
Driver Chen took a look at the pair of mother and daughter in this house, and thought that the two fools, were tricked so badly.
