Hua Mama and Yin Ping took the hired worker’s old money to buy things on the street, while Yu Chenglong and the hired worker, Mr. Zhang, were left at home to clean up the newly bought house.
Because the previous owner of this house had just moved out, it didn't need much cleaning, not to mention there wasn't that much time to clean it up seriously.
The only thing we can do is to simply tidy up first, and then make more detailed improvements based on the actual situation after moving in. It is enough for people to live in it now.
Yu Chenglong and Boss Zhang were cleaning up the house and chatting about nothing. When Yu Chenglong accidentally asked about the situation at Jiangyuan Police Station, Boss Zhang did not reply immediately.
One is that such a topic is relatively sensitive, and the other is that Boss Zhang does not agree with other people's views. He feels that the Jiangyuan Police Station is reasonable compared to police stations in other places.
“Don’t listen to other people’s lies and make assumptions, and take it for granted that the police station here will arrest people indiscriminately like police stations in other places.
Our police chief and I are from the same family. Our name is Zhang Kuohai. He was a regiment commander of the Northeast Army earlier, but he didn't run away. I heard that he also fought a few battles with the Japanese, but never, so he surrendered.
The soldiers he had led in the past did not let him take charge anymore, so they gave him the title of director. This gave him face. In other local police stations, Japanese directors were appointed.
Half of his police officers are his former subordinates, and they are pretty good to the people. But he also has to listen to the special high-level courses. There are many important places set up by the Japanese here, so there are special high-level courses, and they are really evil!
Many things were done by the Police Department under the supervision of the Special High School, and Director Zhang and others took the blame. There was nothing we could do about it. Who was going to take over other people's jobs? "
When Boss Zhang said this, he felt that he had said too much, so he changed his words: "You are new here, I just told you, you can't talk nonsense when you go out."
"Listen to what my elder brother says. He is also an open-minded person. I am strict with my words and am a true person. What's so important about our place? The Japanese even set up special higher education courses? It's really idle."
Yu Chenglong saw that Boss Zhang didn't explain it clearly, so he went to talk to him further, hoping to get some information from him. It was estimated that Boss Zhang would not hide anything.
"That's not true. We have a Japanese arsenal, a military horse farm, a food depot, a prison, and a dock set up by the Japanese to transport the items they looted. Aren't these important?"
"I wonder why there are so many imperial troops here!"
"There are so many, those are all bluffing. I've been doing odd jobs here all year long and I don't know. There are only a few dozen people there.
They changed defenses throughout the day. They went out in formation during the day, circled around once, came back at noon, went out again at noon, circled around again, and came back again at night.
Just walking back and forth in the county town like this, people who don't know how many people would think there are, but I can see it. They just walked around like this without getting tired. "
The two of them chatted while working, and the house was almost tidy, so they went to the yard again to tidy up the yard and the barn.
At this time, Lao Qian came back alone with a cart of things. The three of them unloaded the cart together, and then Lao Qian left with the empty cart.
In this way, Lao Qian went back and forth three times with food, food, and cooking supplies, and Hua Mama and Yin Ping came back with them on the last trip.
After a few people settled in, it was getting dark. After paying their wages and sending Boss Zhang and Lao Qian away, Hua Mama and Yin Ping hurriedly went to light a fire to cook.
Yu Chenglong was lying on the kang, thinking over and over again, his head was still a little chaotic, not only because of lack of sleep, but also because of worry.
Yu Chenglong still had lingering fears about what happened last night, and thought that he should be more careful in the future. Mother Hua is too narrow-minded.
He felt that Yinping was indeed a good girl, but he just felt a little sorry for her. Although they were a couple in name only, it might ruin the rest of her life.
Yu Chenglong plans to make things clear to the commander-in-chief, third aunt and Hua Mama when he returns to the mountains in the future, and help Yinping find a satisfying husband.
The whispers of Hua Mama and Yin Ping came from the outer room. Although they were not very clear, they seemed to be related to him, and Yu Chenglong was even more worried.
Yu Chenglong suddenly felt sorry for Monroe, especially for his wife Fengying, and also for Yinping. What kind of fake couple were they pretending to be? What a regret!
The Liberation Army had just been established and had not achieved any success. Why was it so careless? What are you doing here? The official business has not been done yet, and the fake couple is pretending to be a presentable couple.
After thinking about it, Yu Chenglong still felt that his will was not strong enough. No, this matter must be made clear to Hua Mama and Yin Ping as soon as possible, and we cannot get stuck in it and cannot extricate ourselves.
But then I thought about it, even if Yinping could understand, Hua's mother couldn't agree to it anyway. There were also the third aunt and the commander-in-chief. I really don't know what they were thinking?
But as a man, you have to be responsible. Since we are already a couple in name, we really need to protect Yinping from now on. Let her stay with Hua Mama first this time.
It is indeed too difficult in the mountains. I will have to find opportunities to persuade them slowly in the future. Thinking of this, Yu Chenglong felt a little comforted.
No matter how you say you moved into a new home today, after cleaning up, it was almost dark. Hua Mama and Yinping were busy cooking as soon as possible, while Yu Chenglong was lying on the kang alone and thinking about his thoughts.
Hearing the sound of cooking coming from the outer room, Yu Chenglong really felt like home. Although this feeling is very considerate, it seems that I won't be able to truly settle down and make a life for a while now.
When thinking about going home, Yu Chenglong really missed Fengying, and even more about his mother and the whole family. I wonder how the family is doing now? Can I get any news about him? Yu Chenglong was drowsily thinking about it.
"What are you thinking about? Get up quickly. We have to go out to do errands after a short break. I brought you water. Come and wash up so we can eat."
Yinping brought hot water and asked Yu Chenglong to wash his face. Yu Chenglong felt that he seemed too relaxed and didn't even know that Yinping had entered the room.
So I got up apologetically, let out a long sigh, and without saying anything, I washed my face silently and went to Hua's mother's room to eat. I didn't want to talk much during the meal.
Mother Hua and Yinping kept putting vegetables into Jackie Chan's bowl, but he was not polite and just smiled stupidly. Although Yinping went to eat and chat with a smile, she also showed a hint of embarrassment.
At this time, Hua's mother seemed to feel something. Although the two of them looked relatively affectionate, they still didn't look like a newlywed couple.
But Hua's mother didn't want to tell the truth, and secretly thought about a way. She firmly thought that sooner or later, she would have to let these young people follow their own path.
After dinner, Hua's mother asked Yu Chenglong and Yinping to go to the west room to sleep, saying that they should go to bed early as they still had tasks to do in the middle of the night.
Yu Chenglong nodded and went to the west room first, while Yinping came over after finishing cleaning up with Hua's mother. At this time, Yu Chenglong had already laid down to sleep.
After working for a whole day, the three of them, including Mother Hua, were all tired, but Yu and Chenglong only slept until the dead of night, then got up and got ready.
