Old Movies of the Republic of China(14)

Lin Dehai sipped wine in his mouth and narrowed his eyes beautifully.

Lin Yuhuai sat opposite Lin Dehai, "What's going on? Why did you think of asking for a job for me? In the past, it was said that the yamen's police officers were not even qualified to visit our door. Now they ask me to go? Ten months a month

A few yuan, is it enough to treat my mother-in-law, or to buy a restaurant for you? Have the two oceans in your pocket been coaxed away again? Otherwise, who is crazy enough to agree to this?

."

"Hi... grandson!" Lin Dehai threw the wine glass on the table, "Is there anyone who talks to me like this?"

Lin Yuhuai glanced at him, then stood up with a smile, "Are you drunk too much? I don't even have a wife? Where can I get a grandson for you? You're too young!"

"You unfilial son, do you want to piss me off to death?" Lin Dehai glared at Lin Yuhuai, shook the wine bottle in his hand, and when he saw that it was empty, he shouted to the back room: "You bastard, come out and get some wine."

Yang Zi heard it in the back room. He was leaning on the bed and reading a yellowed book without moving. Xingzi pushed him and said, "Go quickly, dad is calling you."

Yang Zi pressed her fingers to her lips, signaling her not to speak.

Sure enough, I heard Lin Yuhuai's voice: "Okay, two taels of wine is the limit. If you continue to drink too much, I will go and smash up the wine shop tomorrow. I wonder who will dare to sell you wine in the future.

."

Lin Dehai was shocked by these words. This little kid could really do this. It would be very difficult for him to smoke some cigarettes now, and no one would dare to sell them to him. But he couldn't do this to this little kid.

He was so weak that he didn't dare to pester anymore, so he grabbed Lin Yuhuai and said, "Let's talk about business! Let's talk about business! You'd better work for me as an errand. This time, I spent a fortune to hire that bastard Wu Yunshan, so he relented.

"

Lin Yuhuai was really surprised this time, "You went to beg Wu Yunshan?"

Lin Dehai nodded uncomfortably: "How about you go and beg? I tell you, you go and work well. With your ability, you will be able to suppress this weakling in the future."

Wu Yunshan's family used to be servants of the Lin family. When he was a child, he was Lin Dehai's servant. He learned to read by standing behind Lin Dehai and learning from Mr. Lin's private school. The Lin family fell, but the Wu family rose. Wu Yunshan was also good at sneaking around.

Now he is also a section chief in the police department. For this reason, people are not willing to talk to Lin Dehai. But if Lin Dehai comes to ask for help, that is another matter. It can not only show his current identity, but also say that he was a slave in the past.

If he really ignored his old master, it would be ungrateful. Giving alms to the Lin family boy was just a casual thing. Just like Lin Dehai rewarded him with silver coins.

Lin Dehai felt uncomfortable in his heart: "We have no money. There are ways to do things without money. Isn't it just pretending to be a grandson? Isn't it just kneeling down for that little kid? He used to kneel to me, but now I kneel to him. It's even.

"

Lin Yuhuai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: "You don't have to ask for help. You can still live your life without working as an errand."

Lin Dehai glared: "You know nothing! In the past, the ten yuan was not enough for the family to eat and drink, but it is different now. Now I have found your sister. Your sister is living a good life. I and Dongwu

Your sister is supporting the sick man, and those two bastards have grown up, and they can manage their own affairs. Now that you are on an errand, you only need to take care of your own stomach. Don't look at it.

With that little salary, if you have the ability, just climb up, and when you become an official, money will be nothing!"

"You'd better save it." Lin Yuhuai felt that he shouldn't have any expectations for Lin Dehai, "Don't bother my sister, if you want to let me know..." He glanced at Lin Dehai threateningly, "You must not want to try the consequences.

try."

Lin Dehai slapped the table, stood up and glared, but the moment Lin Yuhuai looked over, he shrank decisively, "That...this...I just want to see...to see if the table is strong?"

"Old elm, you always have nothing to do to take pictures and play." Lin Yuhuai replied and went to the east room.

Lin Dehai huddled in the chair, lowered his head and squinted to see his son leaving. Then he straightened up and cursed in a low voice, "Son of a turtle!"

In the east room, when Yang Zi saw Lin Yuhuai coming in, he asked in a low voice: "Do you really want to work at the police station?"

Lin Yuhuai patted Yang Zi and said, "Don't worry about this. I know it all." Then he glanced at Mother Lin on the kang and asked Xingzi, "How are you today? Are you okay?"

Xingzi nodded: "It's strange, I haven't coughed all day, and I slept very deeply."

"It's good if you can fall asleep." Lin Yuhuai pointed to the food he brought back, "Go and eat it as soon as it's warmed up. I don't want my eldest sister to bring it back just for you."

Xingzi happily agreed, "Dad and I will share it." Leave half of the white rice, and mix it with water to make a bowl of white rice porridge for your mother tomorrow. "There are also fabrics and cotton. I will make time to make them tomorrow. I just got there.

Change into new clothes for the Chinese New Year.”

"Go." Lin Yuhuai looked at the excited Xingzi, and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was lightened. It was really tiring to start raising a family when he was less than ten years old.

The snow had no intention of stopping and was falling all over the sky. Early the next morning, before Fourth Master went out, Bai Kun came.

"Let's have breakfast together." Lin Yutong greeted with a smile and set out another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Bai Kun responded and sat down, but the look on his face was not good.

The Fourth Master took the Xiaolong Baozi and asked, "What? Something happened in the store?"

"You haven't read today's newspaper yet." Bai Kun said, taking out a folded newspaper from his arms and placing it in front of Fourth Master, "You have to read it first. I just suddenly lost my mind, so I came to the door.

…I want to find someone to talk to.”

The Fourth Master didn't take the newspaper because the section he wanted to read had been folded and placed at the top so that he could see it clearly at a glance.

An important leader of the Workers' and Peasants' Party was arrested in Shanghai.

Fourth Master took one look at it, what could he say?

This meal was a bit boring. When he was finishing the meal, Bai Kun asked: "Will we have affected Mr. Yin by being here?"

"No!" Fourth Master smiled, "You think too much. Now you just have to do your own thing."

Bai Kun nodded helplessly, then stood up to leave, and told Fourth Master: "The foreign books are selling well. If some of them can be translated, I think the sales will be even better."

The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong and said, "Tell her about this. I won't care about it. She can translate one or two books if she has time."

"Only in English." Lin Yutong took over the conversation and said to Bai Kun: "You pick out a few books that sell well and bring them over, and I'll give them a try."

Moreover, this kind of translation cannot translate professional books. There are only some literary works that can be used to practice your skills.

After chatting for a few words, Bai Kun was sent away. The fourth master asked Lin Yutong to go back first and clean the snow at the door. But when he returned to the house, he had a letter in his hand.

"Whose letter is it from?" Lin Yutong asked.

"Hometown." Fourth Master pointed to the address, "It's the original brother's brother."

How come the letter was sent here? No one told me this address.

The two of them looked at each other and felt a little bad. The fourth master opened the letter. It was not long. First, he asked whether he would go back to celebrate the New Year. Second, he said that he wanted to send his children to study in the capital and hoped to take care of them.

.

Let's not talk about how my hometown knows my current address. Let's just talk about greetings. No matter how I think about it, I don't think it is reliable. Last year in Shanghai, I didn't see a letter from my hometown to ask, why did I ask now? What else?

Going to the capital to study? Lin Yutong frowned, "How old is the child?"

"Less than ten years old." Fourth Master reassured him as he placed the letter, "This is not to ask the children to come, but to plan for the whole family to come. This is really strange. It would be impossible if no one encouraged it."

Xu Lihua's hands are really long. She can check not only the capital, but also her hometown.

Lin Yutong frowned: "This woman is like a mad dog, I think it's better not to keep her."

The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong: "It's not difficult to get rid of them, but how can we get rid of them quietly? That's a big problem." He stretched his hands to the family members, which really violated the bottom line.

Lin Yutong chuckled: "Since she knows our address, guess whether she will come after us."

Yes! I'm afraid it's true.

The Fourth Master stood up and said, "I'm going to find Dong Fan." This person should be the one who leaked the address. Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, if he wanted to find Xu Lihua, he would have to start with Dong Fan.

"I'll go with you." Lin Yutong said, and stood up to get his coat. The two locked the door and went out.

Dong Fan lived in a small villa and was very surprised by the visit of Fourth Master and Lin Yutong.

"Oh, Brother Yin." He greeted him with a smile, "Today we are a distinguished guest, so it's hard to welcome him from afar."

"Boss Dong, just don't blame me for being presumptuous." Fourth Master smiled and greeted him politely, but seeing that there was no trace of panic or guilt on Dong Fan's face, he knew that he might not have leaked this matter intentionally.

After entering Dong's house and making some insinuations for a long time, I discovered that this guy had never left the capital during this period. So this matter was really not something he could leak.

After coming out of Dong's house, Lin Yutong became even more confused, "Then where do you think this news leaked from?"

"Housing Authority." Fourth Master frowned: "This woman has a lot of connections, and the Housing Authority is a loophole."

Lin Yutong suddenly realized, no wonder so many people like to use pseudonyms. It is really inconvenient not to use pseudonyms. "We can't live in this house anymore."

"Not only can't we live here, but Bai Kun and Bai Yuan can't be in the bookstore either." As the fourth master said, he reached out and called for a mule cart, "Let's go to the Lin family courtyard first."

This can only be so.

When we arrived at Lin's house, the snow was even heavier. Lin Yuhuai never expected that this couple would come on such a day.

"Sit in the room quickly." Lin Yuhuai let the person in and asked Xingzi to pour tea.

The fourth master didn't care about anything else. He pulled Lin Yuhuai and lowered his voice and asked, "Is it convenient to talk at home?"

Lin Yuhuai took Fourth Master toward the west room, "Come in and talk."

Lin Yutong and Xingzi stayed outside. "Where is Yang Zi?" she asked.

Xingzi smiled: "I heard that the enamel factory was recruiting apprentices, so Yang Zi went to take a look."

Before Lin Yutong could speak, Mother Lin's voice came from inside: "Is it Tongtong? Come in and talk."

Lin Yutong glanced at the west room, and Xingzi said: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I'll be guarding outside."

At this time in the West House, Lin Yuhuai listened carefully to what the fourth master said, with an unmoving expression on his face. He just asked: "What do you want to do? This is the capital, not Shanghai. That woman wants to make trouble in this world.

Make noise and dream!"
