Chapter 60: A Difficult New Year


Ma Chunhua settled down like this.

She didn't care about the difference between men and women at all.

She spread out her baggage on the ground and lay down to sleep.

Yang Shugen was anxious: "How can you, a comrade, do this?

Get up and let's talk." talk."

"What are you talking about?

Are you still not sleepy after eating enough?"

Ma Chunhua yawned with sleepy eyes.

"I walked eighty miles to Beitai.

I want to sleep when I am tired."

Yang Shugen said: "You are a lesbian and I am a gay.

How can we make it clear in the future when a man and a widow sleep together?"

Ma Chunhua raised her eyebrows: "Oh, Comrade Yang Shugen, I didn't expect you to be an educated person with such a feudal mind.

Even though I, an unmarried young girl, don't think anything of you, you do think of me.

This is revolutionary work, I understand.

I don’t understand.

Besides, it’s common for people in the army to stay awake for days and nights while fighting.

They fall asleep and don’t care about men and women.”

Yang Shugen had no choice but to pick up the quilt and go out: "You sleep on the bed, I'll go out and find a place to sleep."

After saying that, she went straight out.

Ma Chunhua chased her out and yelled: "You son of a bitch, come back here."

Yang Shugen left without looking back, and met Corey's colleagues head-on.

Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but snicker.

They understood very well, how could a young and handsome intellectual like Yang Shugen find such a tall and thick village girl?

It must be An arranged marriage arranged by the family.

"My marriage is a tragedy of the times."

Yang Shugen sighed in the office the next day.

Everyone agreed and suggested that he drive Ma Chunhua away quickly.

However, Yang Shugen said that he could not disobey the elders in the family and could only wait.

The section chief held the tea cup and patted Yang Shugen's shoulder with concern and said, "Xiao Yang, why not let me transfer you to the company's cultural night school as a teacher.

There are beds there where you can take a break."

Yang Shugen's eyes shone, and he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to meet the workers.

The night school teacher was the best opportunity.

He immediately burst into tears of gratitude: "Section Chief, I really don't know what to say, thank you so much."

The section chief laughed and said: "It's hard to deal with your daughter-in-law from the countryside for the time being, so I might as well arrange to help cook in the canteen."

Yang Shugen was even more grateful: "Section Chief, you are so kind."

The section chief said: "We are all revolutionary comrades, so why are you so polite?"

In this way, Yang Shugen and Ma Chunhua settled down at Jiangbei United Machinery Company.

The Spring Festival of 1947 arrived.

According to Chinese tradition, every family reunited to celebrate the festival.

The official residence on Fenglin Road in the provincial capital was as warm as spring, and the whole family was reunited.

Not only Chen Zikun's family, but also relatives from all walks of life were invited.

After Li Yaoting lost his wife, he did not renew his relationship.

His two children have grown up and they both stayed in the UK to study for Ph.D.s, one at Cambridge and the other at Oxford.

They will not come back for the Chinese New Year.

He lived alone in Shanghai guarding the big house and lived a boring life.

After returning from visiting relatives in Peking, he was It seems that he has aged ten years and no longer has the vigor of the past.

He simply moved in to celebrate the New Year with Chen Zikun, and the two brothers had a good chat.

Lin Wenlong originally planned to go to Shanghai to see his mother, but the ship was delayed by the parade.

After learning about it, Chen Zikun called the people left behind in Shanghai and directly took Aunt Mi to Jiangdong.

Aunt Mi had also seen some things in the world, but when she came to the Chen family's official residence I was still a little shocked.

Even the Mahler Villa in Shanghai is nothing more than this.

It is luxurious and full of beauty.

There are sentries standing guard at the door.

It is much more impressive than the tycoons in Shanghai.

Lin Wenjing personally arranged for her stepmother's board and lodging.

She was afraid that she would not be used to Jiangdong's food, so she specially invited Shanghai chefs and pastry chefs.

Three-yellow chicken, pan-fried steamed buns and lion's head were all Shanghai-style.

The bedrooms were arranged on the first floor for the elderly.

I couldn't sleep on soft mattresses, so I bought a brown mattress and bought bundles of silk and satin to make new clothes for Aunt Mi.

Aunt Mi burst into tears and said, Wen Jing, I'm sorry for you.

Lin Wenjing said that you had raised me and were kind to me, so why should you say sorry?

Aunt Mi knew that this stepdaughter was kind, so she stopped mentioning the old things, and instead scolded her brother Mi Jiafu, saying that he looked down on others and so on.

She became proud again: "If your uncle knew about such a grand event, he would regret it to death." he."

Lin Wenjing said: "If you are willing, you can live here.

The family will be happy."

Aunt Mi looked embarrassed: "Master, he" Lin Wenjing knew that Aunt Mi was worried that Chen Zikun would be unhappy, so she said, "It's okay, he's easy to talk to."

Aunt Mi became happy: "Then Ala will stay a few more days, but although the countryside is nice, it is not as good as Shanghai after all.

Ala will still go back to Shanghai in a few months.

By the way, is there any plans for your brother's marriage?

He is already thirty He’s almost forty.”

Lin Wenjing said: "Wenlong is a professor at Jiangdong University.

How many female teachers and students like him, so don't worry."

Aunt Mi felt relieved now.

Also arriving in the provincial capital at the same time were Yao Yilei's parents.

Mrs.

Yao was chatting with her daughter, while Chen Zikun and his father-in-law were discussing the situation in the study.

Yao Qizhen was a student studying in Japan in his early years.

He served as deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications and vice president of a bank.

He has a keen sense of finance.

He said: "After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, prices fell for a time, and the price of French currency in exchange for US dollars also fell.

But the good times did not end.

For a long time, the country’s people’s livelihood has declined, Bureaucratic corruption starts to stir up just when we need to recuperate.

Civil war costs money.

The party-state has raised eight million troops.

How can we rely on the Americans to get such a large amount of income?

Of course it will not work, so we can only issue money indiscriminately. , plundering people’s wealth.”

Chen Zikun said: "It would be fine if we could win, but we have lost consecutive battles in the Northeast battlefield, and the Shandong battlefield is also very pessimistic.

If this continues, military spending will become a bottomless pit.

If the finance collapses again, the money saved by the people will become waste paper, and the government will Loyalty is reduced.”

Yao Qizhen said: "Yes, the government has exploited the middle class who originally cared for itself into the proletariat, adding strength to the Communist Party.

In my opinion, the building will collapse in a few years.

Zikun, you must make plans early." ” Chen Zikun said: "I am always prepared, but my roots are in Jiangdong.

I will not give up easily.

I am prepared to do this.

You and your mother-in-law will go to Hong Kong first and buy a few houses.

If the situation changes in the future, you will not have no place to go." ” Yao Qizhen said: "Hong Kong is still safe for the time being.

I will start making arrangements now.

By the way, if you have legal currency deposits at home, quickly exchange them for US dollars or gold.

The price will plummet in the next few days."

This new year is very difficult for Liang Maocai, because he doesn't know where to celebrate the New Year.

There is a home in Shanghai, a home in Nantai, Yagyu Haruko and Liang Qiao, daughter Yingzi and son Liang Pan, the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh.

In the end, he decided to go to Nantai because he owed Liang Qiao and his son too much.

Nantai was an area that was fiercely contested by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

The county seat was currently occupied by the traffic police corps, and the countryside was occupied by the Returning Corps.

Liang Maocai returned to Liangjiazhuang on horseback with a gun.

From a distance, he saw a group of people tied by ropes walking forward.

When he went over, he saw that the Home Returning Group was arresting people.

All those who had been given land to the landlords during the Communist occupation period.

Anyone who robbed a landlord's property would have his head cut off with a guillotine used in rural areas.

Many heads had been chopped off on the threshing floor.

The members of the returning regiment were standing on a high place holding rifles.

The landlords were carrying box cannons and riding whips, sitting on the Taishi chair to show off their power.

The former cadres of the peasant association, the women's director and others, At this time, the faces were gray and trembling, and some were impassioned, shouting slogans and determined to die.

Liang Maocai watched the excitement for a while, said nothing, and went home.

Liang Qiao couldn't help but be happy when he saw him coming back, and Liang Pan was also jumping up and down with joy.

Mrs.

Liang Qiao was cooking eggs and steamed buns in the pot house, and babbled: "There are people killing people again on the threshing floor.

When the Eighth Route Army was here, they put the old landlords of our village in high hats and paraded them through the streets.

They put them on trial and executed them.

The second son of the landlord's family was shot."

He came back with a returning group and beheaded the people from the peasant association. " Liang Maocai said: "I have seen it.

It is natural to pay debts and kill people to pay for their lives.

It is a bit unkind to use a guillotine on someone, but at least leave a person's body intact."

Liang Qiao said: "When I come back this time, I won't leave."

Liang Maocai said: "The matter is not over yet."

Liang Pan ran over and shouted: "Father, you don't keep your words.

You said you would go home after beating the Japanese away.

Why don't you come back?"

Liang Maocai thought for a while and said, "Dad is a soldier who eats food.

How can he be a deserter?

Why don't you and mother come and live in the city?"

Mrs.

Liang Qiao pulled the bellows, passed firewood into the furnace, and said quietly: "I, a country woman, will not embarrass you."

After the Spring Festival, the situation worsened.

Huaye defeated the national army in Shandong and captured 50,000 people including Lieutenant General Li Xianzhou, director of the Second Appeasement District.

"Fifty thousand people will be finished in three days.

Even 50,000 pigs can't be caught in three days."

This sentence, said to be the original words of the commissioner in anger, reached Chen Zikun's ears, but he said: "No wonder Li Xianzhou, the national army The interior was riddled with holes and had been infiltrated long ago.

At the same time, the war situation in Northeast China was also extremely unfavorable.

Lin Biao's democratic coalition forces defeated the National Army.

Chen Zikun also had an opinion on this: the Communist army was united and the National Army could not win if Du Guangting and General Sun Liren were not on good terms.

The defeat on the battlefield will inevitably affect the economy.

The legal currency has plummeted again.

At the same time, the price of rice has soared.

It is difficult for a university professor to support his family with the salary.

Liu Cunren is a retiree from the provincial government.

His pension was very generous.

Not only did he have enough food and clothing, he could also provide for his children.

Now one month's pension is not enough to buy ten pounds of rice.

Liu Cunren came back from receiving his pension from the Finance Department of the Provincial Government.

He went there with a sack filled with banknotes and hired a tricycle to transport it back.

When he got home, he took a basket of banknotes and asked his wife to buy rice. , he took a bag of banknotes and went to the black market to exchange for silver dollars.

Although U.S. dollar gold is a good thing, its value is too high after all.

The hard currency in second-tier cities is the ocean.

This currency of the Beiyang period was abolished in the early 1930s, but it reappeared at this time and became the best refuge for small and medium-sized cities.

Risk financial products.

The same banknotes could be exchanged for four tons yesterday, but today they can only be exchanged for three.

The same banknotes could buy five buckets of rice yesterday, but they can only buy four buckets today.

Price increases are calculated in minutes, and those who do business People are better off, after all, money circulates.

For urban working-class people who receive a fixed salary, this salary can no longer make ends meet
