Chapter 84 Leisure and Art
Wei Liangbi was shocked when he heard that Ning Zhiheng's family had given out nearly 30,000 pounds at once and actually invested in Chongqing, a remote city far away from the Central Plains, to buy land and open shops.
Thirty thousand pounds are definitely a huge sum of money in this era. This is definitely a gamble made by the Ning family with all their worth. He couldn't help but admire Ning Zhiheng's father Ning Liangcai's courage.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Teacher, Zhiheng! Are you too pessimistic about the current situation when you choose Chongqing to arrange your future? I also think there will be a battle between China and Japan.
But in terms of time, I don’t think it’s as urgent as you think. It will probably take at least four to five years later.
I think China is vast and has a large population. Once the war breaks out, the little Japan will be dragged to death by just dragging it. If they are not ready, will they really dare to start a war?
Besides, Shanghai is thousands of miles away from Chongqing. No matter how sharp the Japanese's military attack is, can they still fight to Chongqing?
Millions of soldiers from our party and country are not vegetarians. If you can fight to Wuhan, you are considered overestimating them. My family is Yueyang, Hunan, and is very close to Changsha, an important town in Hunan. Why not buy industries in Changsha, what do you think?"
Wei Liangbi's hometown is Yueyang, Hunan. His father is a teacher and his family is quite good. If you can find a place to settle down near your hometown, then Changsha, which is the closest geographical location, is the best choice!
In recent years, I have saved up a lot of wealthy assets. It is better to buy real estate like my teacher and junior brother. If there is any change in the future, it will be better for a safe life!
"Senior brother, I advise you not to choose Changsha. Changsha is the capital of Hunan Province. Once the Sino-Japanese War breaks out, these metropolis will definitely be included in the first attack sequence by the Japanese army. Moreover, Changsha is convenient for transportation, which will facilitate the launch and attack of the Japanese army."
Ning Zhiheng, who was familiar with the direction of historical development, urged Wei Liangbi not to choose to purchase industries in Changsha, otherwise all his savings would be wasted!
"Yes, Liangbi, I also think it's a bit risky to buy an industry in Changsha. It's better to go to Chongqing like us. Once war is in chaos, safety is the most important thing! Although Chongqing is remote, it's safe enough. Besides, our family is together and we can take care of each other!" He Feng also persuaded him.
Wei Liangbi was a little hesitant when he heard the teacher and Ning Zhiheng say this. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, let me listen to you, teacher!"
Ning Zhiheng slapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right. I'll send a telegram to Manager Wen and ask him to find you with his senior brother. Everything will be arranged for you. You don't have to worry! You don't need to worry about anything!"
Wei Liangbi knew that there was in Chongqing. The shopkeeper Wen in He Feng and Ning Zhiheng had already sorted out the matter. If you do these things, of course, you will get twice the result with half the effort. You just need to be the shopkeeper and hand over the money to Ning Zhiheng!
After the big thing was settled, the three teachers and students relaxed, chatted and laughed together, and then they said goodbye to He Feng's family and left.
Days pass quickly, and now it is the end of the year. The most important festival for Chinese people is coming. The Spring Festival is coming.
In the streets and alleys of Nanjing City, people began to buy New Year's goods with their hands and shoulders, and they were busy.
Some citizens began to paste New Year pictures. The simple and naive New Year pictures added some festive atmosphere to thousands of households. Children on the street ran around, and children from better families put on new clothes in advance, and Nanjing began to be filled with a joyful atmosphere!
The Military Intelligence Investigation Office is a paramilitary unit. Even if it is celebrated during the Spring Festival, it only has a few short days of vacations, and there is no long vacation!
People who live in Nanjing will go home for the New Year. Ning Zhiheng just returned to Hangzhou last month, so he didn’t plan to go home this Spring Festival, so he planned to be on duty.
Fortunately, the Military Intelligence Department has not done much work during this period, and the number of times the operation team has been dispatched has been significantly reduced, which has made everyone idle!
"Captain, don't you go home for the New Year to take a look?" Sun Jiacheng asked, looking at Ning Zhiheng, who was sitting in the office, bored.
He has just been promoted to deputy captain, and now he is working in the same office as Ning Zhiheng and others, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable at first.
"I just returned to Hangzhou some time ago. There was someone on duty in the New Year's Office, so I simply didn't go back!" Ning Zhiheng said.
"By the way, Lao Sun, what are your plans for the New Year? Don't you want to go home and have a look?"
Since Sun Jiacheng was promoted to a second lieutenant officer and changed from subordinate to colleague, Ning Zhiheng had no time to call him by his name directly. Sun Jiacheng was much older than him, so he simply called him Lao Sun.
Sun Jiacheng's face turned dark and his tone became slow. He said, "There is no one at home. The only uncle, my master, has passed away! I am alone, wherever I go, my home is home!"
Ning Zhiheng was stunned. This Sun Jiacheng was actually a lonely man. He had never asked about these things before.
"You have a little Tianjin accent in your speech. Is your hometown Tianjin? I haven't been a family in these years!" Ning Zhiheng asked.
Sun Jiacheng nodded and replied: "Hometown is Tianjin. Our family was also well-known in the local area. Later, my uncle fought with a man and injured his life, made enemies, and was blocked in the alley and stabbed to death! I was afraid that someone would destroy the door, so I ran out!"
His tone was plain and his face was calm, as if this tragic incident did not happen to him, but was telling stories that were not related to him.
Ning Zhiheng was shocked after hearing this passage, but he didn't expect that Sun Jiacheng would have such a tragic experience.
"I never went back since then? Are those enemies still there?" Ning Zhiheng sat upright and asked carefully.
"I didn't have any food after I came out, and I didn't want to go to the underworld to be a hooligan, so I joined the army. I secretly went back once a few years ago, killed two enemies and missed it. I escaped again, and never went back again!" Sun Jiacheng said lightly.
It turned out that there were enemies in Tianjin looking for him, so they would not go back. Judging from Sun Jiacheng's intention, the enemies were not over yet, so I would have to go back sooner or later.
"This is the so-called grudges in the world, right?" Ning Zhiheng nodded, "Tell me the information of your enemy, don't forget what we do! Military Intelligence Investigation Department is not easy to help people, but isn't it easy to harm people!"
The grudges and entanglements in the world are you killing me today, and I will kill you tomorrow, killing you around, and I can’t tell who is right and who is wrong. However, since it is Sun Jiacheng’s enemy, Ning Zhiheng must be on his side. It’s not too easy for the Military Intelligence Department to kill two civilians!
Sun Jiacheng shook his head: "I will do this by myself. I will beside them with my own hands, otherwise I will never feel at ease in my life."
The tone was so cold that it was terrible, which showed that the hatred in my heart was so irreconcilable that it could not be relieved.
When Ning Zhiheng heard his words, he said disapprovingly: "Following and corrupt!"
Then he added: "When did you figure it out, tell me!"
Sun Jiacheng nodded. He knew that Ning Zhiheng sincerely wanted to avenge him, and he was grateful in his heart, but he had his own persistence.
"By the way, your family is all martial arts practitioners. No wonder you are so good at it, especially the short blade is really beautiful." Ning Zhiheng suddenly became interested and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "How about it? Teach me while you are free during this time? Isn't it the kind of family skills that pass on your son but not your daughter, right?"
When he heard Ning Zhiheng wanted to learn martial arts from him, Sun Jiacheng smiled and said, "What kind of skills are passed down by the family? They are all taught by the people. The skills they really go to the arena are all real. If you close the door and practice flower airs, you are going to seek death.
Captain, of course it’s okay to learn, but it’s useless to practice martial arts these days. No matter how good you practice, you can solve all one gun!"
Ning Zhiheng shook his head and disagreed with Sun Jiacheng's statement: "If you say you go to the battlefield, you will definitely not be as powerful as guns. But if you are in our industry, you will be completely different if you have a good skill. It can play a huge role in special times, which is a life-saving ability!"
