Chapter 313

Principal Tang got off the yellow bus and took a handkerchief out of his pocket to wipe the sweat from his forehead before hurrying toward the front door of the Peace Hotel.

The waiter in front of the door personally sent him upstairs after reading his invitation.

Upstairs in the ballroom guests are not many, usually can be set up two dozen tables in the hall was set up only eight tables, but does not look empty, because all around the basket full of flowers, all congratulations on the wedding, good times.

The guests all turned their heads in one direction like sunflowers, making it easy for Principal Tang to see Su Chunjun and Professor Dai.

He looked around hurriedly and didn’t see his cousin.

Since that day to send her away has been more than half a month, I do not know if she now sleeps well at night, there is no more insomnia, the mouth of the heart there is no longer uncomfortable, whether or not to take medication on time, the toothache is still painful, Prof. generation of the family meal she can not get used to eating.

Principal Tang heart loaded with these many things, squeeze out a smile, to the table to go.

Professor Dai saw Principal Tang first and immediately alerted Su Chunjun. Su Chunjun asked Secretary Zhao to take care of the guests at this table, and went with Prof. Dai to greet Principal Tang.

All three of them squeezed out their biggest smiles and stood in the middle of the tables shaking hands and talking cordially.

Professor Dai asked, “What brings you here?”

Su Chunjun: “It’s a great honor to have you take the time to come, I’ll take you to see Yan Yan.”

Principal Tang warmly shook hands with the two men, and only after they had walked out of the crowd did he ask Professor Dai in a low voice, “How has my wife been these past few days?”

Prof. Dai just let out a long sigh: “Alas, your wife this period of time is unable to eat and sleep well, she is worried about you, but also refused to tell us so that we follow the anxious, once asked her to say that all right all right, but I see that her face is really not good, let a person be afraid of ah.”

Su Chunjun hurriedly also cooperated to show a serious look, said in a low voice: “I intend to ask the Japanese doctor to give Mrs. Tang a look, check the body.”

Principal Tang was instantly frightened by these two guys and his face changed so much that he didn’t say much and hurriedly went to the bride’s preparation room.

The preparation room was filled with the aroma of rice.

Wish the second miss because has not seen the Japanese, also dared not change down the white wedding dress, had to chest tie a white table sticker as a bib, hand holding a bowl of rice, on the small fried meat to eat is fragrant.

Do not say, called Shi Wuwei training half a year, her love for chili pepper is cultivated, while inhaling while eating non-stop.

Surrounded by Ms. Zhu and Mrs. Tang, as well as Zhang Ma, Big Sister Gao, and Big Sister Tang, the five women were gathered around the small table, with two soup pots on the side table.

Mrs. Tang is from Suzhou, I heard that the family in the old years from the Hunan side, so Mrs. Tang eat spicy is also a good hand, she spoke to Ms. Zhu in a fine voice, how to pick the green chili, how to pick the red chili, how to cut how to mix how to stir-fry how to pickle, told people drooling mouth.

Principal Tang came in to take a look at Mrs. Tang’s appearance, just full of happiness, half did not realize that just now by those two people to deceive.

Zhu Er Miss immediately stood up, “Principal Tang!”

Principal Tang pulled out the gift money from his arms and said, “Congratulations, I’m the one who’s late.”

Ms. Zhu and the others stood up to make way.

Ms. Zhu: “Not too late, not too late, sit down, sit down.”

Su Chunjun couldn’t stay in the room for long, and stood slightly before going out.

Professor Dai stayed behind to talk to Principal Tang.

Ms. Zhu Er called for additional dishes!

Principal Tang hadn’t had a proper meal in many days.

Tang big sister followed Mrs. Tang away, he alone can not even boil water, every day just nibble steamed bread and eat big cake on water. Now that he saw this table of hot food and hot rice, he didn’t dare to eat more, lest he eat a bad stomach.

He sheng a bowl of rice wine sweet soup, slowly drink, while saying, “The Japanese have long gone to find me, they are watching me.”

Prof. Dai immediately asked, “The Japanese are watching you?”

Principal Tang: “They want to set up a Japanese university here, but where to get a ready-made school temporarily? Isn’t that why they’re looking at my school?”

He shook his head, there was nothing he could do.

In fact, there were many Japanese schools in the city, a Japanese elementary school and a Japanese girls’ high school. But the student population was a problem, because Japan was not the only country that had schools in town.

The first schools were run by churches.

Zhu Yuyan and her sister went to a church school.

Only schools for foreigners would accept girls.

When foreigners came to the city, they built big houses, beautiful roads, schools and hospitals.

Countless money piled up this beautiful city of money.

For Zhu Yuyan and her sister, and for many other families like them, the advanced and convenient facilities in this city were built by foreigners.

But because there are so many foreign countries, Japan doesn’t really stand out among them.

Now that Japan is bullish, of course they want to show off again.

Principal Tang: “They’re sending teachers and changing the school rules.”

What kind of rules?

For example, the university sign at the entrance will be changed to a Japanese university.

For example, Japanese will be taught in the school, and all students will learn Japanese.

Students have to use Japanese textbooks, learn Japanese history, and pledge allegiance to the emperor.

Principal Tang whispered, “I met some people from other schools, and Japanese elementary and middle schools now require everyone to speak Japanese.”

Elementary and middle schools built in Japan used to be built in such a way that although the teachers spoke Japanese and the students learned Japanese, they would not exclude the students from speaking Chinese at school.

Just like Zhu Yuyan used to go to a church school, although she also learns the Bible and speaks English, she also learns the Four Books and Five Classics, and usually talks to her classmates in school in Chinese, and will not purposely change to speak English.

After all, the students were all Chinese students.

There is something frightening about this move by the Japanese.

They seemed to have suddenly become anxious and moved faster.

Everyone hurriedly dined in silence, and then Mrs. Tang said she was tired and wanted to go back to rest and relax first. Ms. Zhu immediately said, “In that case, Old Dai, you drive Principal Tang and Mrs. Tang back first. I’ll stay at the Zhu Family Building first today, so you don’t have to come back to pick me up.”

Professor Dai then took Principal Tang and Mrs. Tang and Big Sister Tang to leave first.

Zhu Yuyan ate her meal and then replenished her makeup, looking at the time, it was already four in the afternoon. The wedding banquet was actually over now, but VIP Jiang didn’t leave, so everyone stayed.

Mr. Jiang didn’t leave because he wanted to wait and see if the Japanese were still coming.

The food was served in rounds, and I don’t know if the guests had eaten enough.

Zhu Yuyan thought that in a while if the Japanese do not come to let the hotel to send two comedians or singing drums to perform at the banquet, do not let the guests sit dry.

Su Chunjun came in with a red face, sat down, unzipped his jacket, and started to pour water with a big kettle.

Zhu Yuyan went over to fan him with her fan and said, “Is Mr. Jiang waiting impatiently?”

Su Chunjun said, “Almost. If Suzuki doesn’t show up in an hour at the most, the VIP will leave first.”

Zhu Yuyan: “Do you think it’s possible that Suzuki is deliberately giving us a hard time?”

He said he would come to the wedding banquet and then didn’t come at the last minute.

Su Chunjun: “It’s hard to say.”

He came in to rest for a while, drank water, went out to pee again, and then continued to accompany the guests there.

Finally a quarter after four the Japanese came!

Suzuki Saburo was holding Hirata Yoshiko on his arm, and he took out a small box of gifts and handed it to Su Chunjun with both hands, “Congratulations, and I wish you a happy wedding.”

Su Chunjun smiled and said, “Mr. Suzuki really kept me waiting!”

Suzuki Saburo smiled, looked around and said, “Can I say congratulations to Miss Bride as well?”

Su Chunjun smiled and said, “Of course, please follow me.”

He had already asked the hotel to prepare a peace room, and immediately led both Suzuki Saburo and Hirata Yoshiko inside.

A little later, he walked in on Zhu Yuyan’s arm.

In the peace room, Suzuki Saburo, however, sat on the main seat.

Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan paid their respects to him.

Zhu Yuyan smiled and said, “Thank you very much for your gift, I like it very much.”

Inside that box from Suzuki Saburo was a small handwritten book, that is to say – Suzuki Saburo had personally written a pair of characters as a congratulatory gift.

Egads, never seen such a frugal gift.

I wish the adulterer realizes he’s met his match.

Suzuki Saburo is sitting on the Zhu Yu Yan bowed a head – Japanese unique thank you method, bow head, that is, head forward a deep bow, the upper body does not move.

Zhu Yuyan is also considered to have seen a lot of foreigners, in addition to the Japanese have never seen other countries so bow.

Suzuki Saburo: “For Yan Ji’s help to the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, I am very grateful.”

Zhu Yuyan: “You are so very kind, I’m flattered.”

Suzuki Saburo: “No, for any true friend of the Japanese, the Japanese never forget.”

Suzuki Saburo said to Su Chunjun, “Su-san, due to Yanji, can I assume that you are also a friend of the Japanese? I would love to believe you.”

Su Chunjun: “Mr. Suzuki, if you are willing to be my friend, I will also be your friend. Just as you need my help, I need your help in the same way.”

Suzuki Saburo whispered, “My help ……,” he stared at Su Chunjun, “Okay, Su-san, we can help each other.”

Suzuki Saburo said, “Today the Emperor ordered us to return this city to normalcy as soon as possible. Schools, hospitals, stores, streets, all everything is to be restored to order.”

Su Chunjun was very good at missing what he didn’t want to hear and only listening to what he wanted to hear, so he nodded his head and said, “I would like the same hope that order can be restored. In this, I will need a great deal of help from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.”

As long as supplies could enter the city normally, and the people could be saved from the lack of food, order could definitely be restored quickly. At the very least, the number of □□□ on the streets could be reduced.

Suzuki Saburo said, “Just that one small market is not enough. Su Sang, you still need to order all Chinese stores to sell Japanese goods as soon as possible.”

Su Chunjun irresponsibly agreed immediately, “No problem. But an administrative order is still too slow. Since charity sales can be successful, why not expand the market?”

Suzuki Saburo said with dissatisfaction, “Japanese goods are all excellent goods, how can they be sold on the road?”

Zhu Yuyan softly helped, “Mr. Suzuki, I have an idea, why not create a Japanese street?”

Suzuki Saburo had a good impression of Ms. Zhu because of the success of the charity bazaar, and when he heard her talk about “a Japanese street”, he immediately turned his head around and his voice became milder: “Yan Ji, you are a loyal friend of Japan, I am very willing to listen to your idea of a Japanese street. ”

Zhu Yuyan began to talk nonsense: “From the bazaar, in fact, the people do not have too much prejudice against Japanese goods, after all, life must go on, in addition to a small number of people, the majority of the people are more willing to live a good life.”

Suzuki Saburo nodded, “Yes, I believe the Chinese people are friendly.”

The charity bazaar did give Suzuki Saburo and these Japanese some confidence, after all, the bazaar was filled with the emblems of various goods, the Chinese people should be able to see them, but they still like Japanese goods.

Zhu Yuyan: “So, I have been thinking, if we can create a Japanese street, all of which is full of Japanese goods, and all of which sell Japanese things, as small as a piece of cloth or a needle, and as big as bookcases, shelves, electric lamps, fans, and so on, all of these can be bought here. The people naturally come here to buy things.”

A street of Nihonben all filled with Japanese goods, that sounds appealing.

Suzuki Saburo: “What if the people still refuse to come by then?”

Zhu Yuyan smiled and said, “Isn’t a charity sale a good idea? There’s also a hundred-tried-and-true trick to selling, and that’s selling at low prices. A portion of the goods are sold at the cheapest price, and the rest are sold at normal prices, and when people get into the habit of shopping, they will habitually come here to buy things.”

She affirmed, “As long as you make sure there’s always cheap stuff for sale, then you’ll never have to worry about no one coming to buy!”

Suzumori Saburo pondered for a moment, “Makes sense.”
