I want to be a spy
Gao Di wanted to leave Beiping by train, but he didn't expect to meet Brother Zhao at the train station and learn the news that Da Chibao was dead.
Brother Zhao knew that this sister was committed to the motherland, so she couldn't let go of Gaodi.
Back in the courtyard of Hutong No. 6, Guan Xiaohe was chatting with Ruifeng, and the two poor and white men smelled like each other at this time.
Gao Di entered the house and told Guan Xiaohe that Da Chibao died in prison, and Guan Xiaohe seemed to have suffered a thunderbolt from the sky, not because he was sad about the death of the couple, but because Da Chibao died, which means that he Guan Xiaohe could never turn over.
After talking about it carefully, and talking about recruiting his brother, Guan Xiaohe became happy again, "Hey, my daughter is a spy, now I see who rolls her eyes at me again! Isn't being a spy a lot of money in your pocket?
Gao Di was so angry that Guan Xiaohe hid in the house, and Guan Xiaohe pulled Ruifeng to find Zhaodi, but unfortunately the two of them didn't find it when they arrived at the station.
Guan Xiaohe returned to the small sheepfold, and when he saw the individual, he was a showman, and he said things like "recruiting my brother to be a spy, how to do it", which made everyone lose because of the good impression of the senior brother of the Guan family.
The next day, seven or eight Japanese people moved in to the original house of the Guan family, and Guan Xiaohe was even more embarrassed.
But this man is strange, when he meets a new move-in, he always has to say a few words about the good house, as if the house was rented from him, but how can the Japanese pay attention to him.
After another two days, Ruifeng finally found out where Brother Zhao lived, and the two of them hurriedly ran to find someone. When they arrived at the Dongchenggen courtyard, they didn't think that a Japanese would come, so Nunuzui took them in.
To bring it in is to interrogate. Where did you get the news? What do you want to do? After asking again, Ruifeng and Guan Xiaohe both said that it was good to be a spy.
Ruifeng is okay, the Japanese are particularly surprised by Guan Xiaohe's performance, he has both the Japanese bow in place, but also the Chinese courtesy, the invasion of Beiping has only been more than four years of effort, how can there be such a combination of Chinese and Japanese people?
The two of them didn't suffer any crimes, probably because the two people were real traitors. At this time, the war in Europe had been going on for a long time, and Peking was about to starve.
Republic Cakes
Li Siye has been very distressed recently because his business is too good. It's not a good thing to help people move, do funerals, and have work to do all day. Sometimes he went out of the city and found that there were still a large number of people outside the city coming to Beiping City.
It turned out that a few days ago, the Japanese gave an order, and all the rice, flour, grain, and oil in Beiping were stopped, and the wheat in Beiping was ripe, but it could not be made into grain, and all the grain was now provided by Japan, and every family had to buy grain with a grain certificate.
After surveying the population, the Japanese said that those over 60 years old and under 6 years old had no food, but he, who was an official, had a share.
This makes Li Siye very sad, he has a bad year, and he is still a white-collar worker, what does this make others think of him?
Fortunately, the old man Qi relieved him, it is not easy to live in this world, how can there be so much effort to be sad? But then the problem came again, the grain certificate is one-time, and it will be invalid if it is used, so who knows when the next time it will be issued?
If ten days and a half have passed, how can a family member with a large number of people live? The whole of Beiping has fallen into an even more panicked situation, people can endure hardship, but who can starve all the time?
The Qi family was Yunmei who went to receive food, she thought she had gone out early enough, but when she saw a large row of people in the black pressure from afar, her heart was cold for most of the time.
After waiting for a long time, the heat of the sun came up, and Yunmei was dizzy.
After another half an hour, suddenly there was a shout from the front of the line, and the flow of people made Yunmei untenable, and the Japanese on guard threw up their leather whips to maintain order, and the tail of the whip instantly hung on Yunmei's face.
Fortunately, Inspector Bai helped and told Yunmei to go home quickly, and he would help her get food. The corners of Yunmei's eyes were broken, and she secretly encouraged herself, telling herself that she would be born twice once, and she would know what to do next time.
When Inspector Bai sent the grain, everyone was dumbfounded, and a small bag was only four or five catties.
Yunmei, who has been cooking for so many years, really couldn't figure out what this was, so she went to find Old Man Qi. Old Man Qi grabbed a pinch of noodles and touched it, he lived for more than seventy years, and he didn't know what kind of food it was.
Because the pot is not only a kind of flour flour made of grain, there are dark green, black and yellow in it, and this side cannot be mixed together at all, it is slimy, and it is all stuck to the pot.
Yunmei and Mrs. Tianyou had to make a simple style - pancakes.
I made the cake and made a cold dish with cucumber. Xiao Shun'er was the first to eat, this big bite was like eating a mouthful of loess, so dry that he pricked his throat, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to drink water.
Old lady Qi swallowed a piece of cake with great difficulty, it was indeed too dry, so Yunmei made some soup, which was dried shrimp washed with boiling water. Yunmei saw that Niuzi didn't eat, so she asked her what was wrong, and Niuzi lowered her head and just said that she was not hungry.
Yunmei knew that the child didn't like to eat, so she reluctantly smiled and said, "I can't stop eating, we have to eat this every day in the future." ”
"Niu Niu is not hungry!" Niu Zi's head lowered. Old Man Qi couldn't stand it, and asked Yunmei to use the remaining white noodles at home to make two white flour cakes for Niuzi.
Yunmei didn't want to disobey the old man, and she felt sorry for her daughter, but there were so many white noodles, and the old man couldn't eat it. The old man urged, but Yunmei still didn't move, just persuaded Niuzi to eat cakes, and Niuzi suddenly cried and shouted: "Niuniu is not hungry"!
The old man suddenly lost his temper, he slammed the table and shouted, "Go and make a little cake for the child!"
Mid-Autumn Festival of the year
Ruifeng tricked Lan Dongyang into becoming a spy, which frightened Lan Dongyang.
Guan Xiaohe had nowhere to go, so he walked to Lan Dongyang's house again, wanting to mix a bite of food.
Lan Dongyang refused, so he talked with Guan Xiaohe at the door, and talked about Ruifeng as he spoke. "Hey, Ruifeng lied to you, if he can be a spy, I can be the emperor of Japan!"
Lan Dongyang was suspicious, he wasn't sure if Guan Xiaohe was lying to him, so he decided to test it with a meal.
After three rounds of drinking, Guan Xiaohe poured beans into the bamboo tube and said it neatly, Lan Dongyang's hanging heart finally let go, he didn't just forget about this matter, and he had to get rid of Ruifeng, the thorn in his eye.
Ruifeng didn't know Lan Dongyang's mind at this time, and wanted to find Lan Dongyang to find some work. When they arrived at the place, Lan Dongyang and the two young people stood together, and when they met, Lan Dongyang greeted: "Ruifeng, are you really a spy?"
Ruifeng was used to telling lies, so he naturally answered: "Can it still be fake?" As a result, Ruifeng was stopped by two young people and was imprisoned for the crime of impersonating a spy.
When it was dark, Ruifeng didn't come back, and the Qi family was not too worried, because Ruifeng was such a habit.
Waiting until the next morning, Rui Xuan went out, and suddenly saw a small package on the ground, he opened it to see that it was a coat from Ruifeng.
Rui Xuan immediately left tears, and he hurriedly pushed the door to find Inspector Bai: "My second child wore this yesterday and went out, and I saw this gown in the yard this morning." ”
The Japanese killed someone, so they sent the person's clothes back, and Ruifeng was probably finished.
Rui Xuan sat at the door of his house and said to himself: "You know that the second child is wrong, why don't you teach him a lesson? You can slap him in the mouth a few times better than if he dies! Why do you only care about everyone's harmony and get used to him messing around?"
Your father was forced to die, your brother died, your family was scared and starved, you couldn't do anything, you were still alone?"
After scolding himself like this, Rui Xuan reluctantly put away his sadness, walked into the courtyard, and decided not to say a word.
In today's Beiping City, many people suffer from gastrointestinal problems because of the food distributed by the Japanese.
The Japanese were afraid that it would be an infectious disease, so they drove the sick people to one place, no one treated them, and they died quickly, and truckloads of people were transported outside the city, and the living people were buried alive, and they were treated as disinfection.
Guan Xiaohe and Sun Qi were also among these people, the two of them were first in unbearable abdominal pain on the street, and were put into isolation, and then because there were too many people there, they were pulled out of the city.
When a group of people got out of the car and saw a large crater several meters deep, they knew what the so-called treatment was.
Sun Qi didn't say a word, he beat Guan Xiaohe, and then jumped into the pit, and Guan Xiaohe was buried in the loess, and he was still shouting for the imperial army to save him, until the sound couldn't penetrate the loess.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in Peking arrived, and the Qi family steamed some steamed buns with white flour sent by Mr. Fucha, but Ruifeng was not there, and Guan Xiaohe was not there.
If it was in the past, even if Guan Xiaohe was no longer human, Old Man Qi would generously give away two steamed buns because of his birthday, but this year, no one in the small sheepfold was laughing at the door of the house.
There is one less shaver in the alley, and there is also one less wall grass.
