Zuo Shaoqing immediately saw and understood. What Yu Zhidao was thinking about at this time was her true identity. Listening to what he meant, he believed that she was a "communist" rather than a "country". She was very grateful that he could
I kept my balance and didn't say this out loud.
In the evening, the whistle blew longly, and the freighter "Sichuan" slowly left the dock and sailed eastward out of Victoria Bay. On the sea, large and small ships shuttled back and forth. The "Sichuan" blew its whistle from time to time.
Once the freighter set sail, the crew had nothing to do. They all gathered in the cabin below to drink tea and play cards.
Zuo Shaoqing stood on the side of the ship, looking at the sunset glowing in the west, letting the sea breeze blow her long windbreaker. She felt relaxed and even a little comfortable. She felt that the business between Yu Zhidao and Feng Dun could be done.
It will be somewhat helpful to the domestic economic construction. Then, she has also made some contribution to the country.
Yu Zhidao and Yang Zhi walked out of the cockpit and came to the side of the ship, looking at the sea view with Zuo Shaoqing.
Yu Zhidao felt a little emotional and said softly: "I finally took the first step."
Zuo Shaoqing asked: "Boss Yu, how long will this trip take?"
He said: "About fifteen hours. It also depends on the wind. I estimate that we will arrive in Keelung at nine or ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's go and see where you live."
Zuo Shaoqing followed Yu Zhidao and walked down the gangway. The gangway was steep and the corridor was very narrow. They turned a corner and Yu Zhidao opened a small hatch.
He said: "There are two guest rooms on this ship, which were previously prepared for cargo representatives. Take a look, what do you think?"
Zuo Shaoqing entered the guest room and took a look. The guest room was very small, with two narrow beds. There was a fixed small table between the two beds. The guest room was very simple, with yellowed walls and a charming bed.
Movie Illustrated. Zuo Shaoqing feels that it is great to have such a guest room on this ship.
"Boss Yu, where do you live?" Zuo Shaoqing turned around and asked Yu Zhidao.
"It's right next door to you. Yang Zhi and I live alone." He said with a faint smile.
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him carefully and saw that he didn't have any bad intentions. She thought, he was all focused on business, he was really a weirdo.
Yu Zhidao turned back and said: "Yang Zhi, bring our dinner and eat it at Zuo Shaoqing's place." He turned back to Zuo Shaoqing and said: "There is also food in the restaurant on the ship, but it won't suit your taste. I
I brought some."
Yang Zhi went out for a while, brought in a large cardboard box, and placed it on a stool at the door. He turned around and said, "I wonder what the young team leader likes to eat. Boss Yu has prepared a lot of things."
Zuo Shaoqing looked into the box and was surprised. It was filled with all kinds of food, basically Western food. There were also two bottles of wine and some cups and plates.
When she saw Yang Zhi clumsily preparing the food, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll do it."
She washed her hands by the sink. First she took out a package of roast chicken, took it apart, and put it on a plate. She cut a few slices of red sausage with a table knife. There was also sliced pastrami in the oil paper package, and she also put it on the plate.
Put it on a plate.
She looked at Yu Zhidao and said, "Are these almost done?"
Yu Zhidao smiled and said: "I want to drink some wine tonight to celebrate. Let's get a few more."
So Zuo Shaoqing picked a can of green bamboo shoots and a can of fruit, handed it to Yang Zhi, and said, "Open these two cans." She handed the wine bottle to Yu Zhidao, "Open the bottle. Move them both."
Take action."
A few minutes later, they were ready for dinner.
Zuo Shaoqing washed his hands, poured a little wine into everyone's glasses, and said, "Boss Yu, shall we start?"
Yu Zhidao picked up the wine glass, looked at Zuo Shaoqing and said: "Young Master Zuo, this glass is for you. You have the greatest contribution to the fact that we can get on this boat today. Young Master Zuo, thank you for helping me. Come,
Touch it."
Zuo Shaoqing clinked glasses with him, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Boss Yu, you have helped me before. Let's make it even. Don't say thank you or not."
Yu Zhidao nodded, "Okay, then, we are even." He turned back to Yang Zhi and said, "You eat what you have. Shaoqing and I want to drink and eat slowly. You don't have to wait for us."
Yang Zhi was very knowledgeable. He cut two large pieces of bread, sandwiched some chicken and green bamboo shoots, took a big bite and said, "Boss, you and the young team leader eat slowly, I watched them play cards." As he said,
Left the room.
The cabin was a little quiet for a while. Zuo Shaoqing and Yu Zhidao were both sipping wine and looking at each other.
Zuo Shaoqing asked: "How many days will we stay in Keelung?"
Yu Zhidao nodded and said: "That's right. We will arrive in Keelung tomorrow morning, and then we will unload and load the goods. It is my first time to do this kind of business, so I have to keep an eye on the whole process, which can be regarded as learning freight. I expect
, the cargo can be loaded in the morning the day after tomorrow. Around noon, the ship will be ready to sail back to Hong Kong. During this time, are you waiting on the ship, or are you going back to Taipei?"
Zuo Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "I want to go back to Taipei." Looking at Yu Zhidao's gloomy expression, she smiled and said, "Boss Yu, please don't worry. My main thing is not to visit.
Ye Gongjin. I just want to see if my 'overcoming difficulties' room is still there. I also want to thank you for my 'overcoming difficulties' room."
"Look, look, we agreed. We've reached an even level, so there's no need to say any more words of thanks."
"Yes, you are right. Besides, don't you know about Ye Gongjin? He is much more unlucky than you."
"Humans, there is a destiny in this life. He has it, and so do I."
"Boss Yu, do you also have a certain number? Tell me what it is." Zuo Shaoqing hurriedly changed the subject.
Yu Zhidao drank wine slowly, put a piece of chicken into his mouth and chewed it, his expression became a little serious.
He said slowly: "Those bastards in Taipei have brought disaster to the country and the people! I can't say anything about them! They have more than three million troops, but they lost the entire continent in just three years! They did such a terrible job
Damn it! They only scheming and fighting for power in the officialdom! I hate them! Let me tell you, I have hated them since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War!"
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him quietly and said nothing.
"But," he smiled gloomily, "to be honest, I don't like the Chinese Communist Party either. There are some things I admire about them, such as their tenacity. In 1933, they were almost wiped out.
There were less than 10,000 troops left who could fight. However, they all survived. I really admire them. But there are some things that I don't like very much. For example, their attitude towards property and their emphasis on communism.
"
Zuo Shaoqing immediately understood that Yu Zhidao's attitude towards the CCP was mainly formed during the Red Army period. But she did not want to explain. In fact, there is nothing to explain for people like Zhidao.
"In history," Yu Zhidao sipped his wine and said quietly: "They have killed many of their own people. Even in groups, if there is even the slightest suspicion, they will kill them! They are almost the same as the Soviets. Such a situation
, it’s really disturbing. I don’t know if they will do this again in the future. So, I don’t like them. But, Mr. Zuo, I think you also understand that there is always a goal in life, right? Otherwise, just
So sad."
"So, Boss Yu, what is your life goal?" Zuo Shaoqing asked with a smile.
"I can only choose to make money." He didn't look like he was joking at this time. He was just drinking wine and looking at the darkening sky outside the porthole. "Now, my wife and daughter are in the United States. I finally managed to make money."
They went to the United States. So, I have to make money for them. When the time comes, I will go too. My goal in life now is to make money. Can you understand?"
Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "I can understand. For the sake of family, wife and children, this is what it should be. Boss Yu, this is the first time I heard you talk about your wife, she..." She didn't know how to ask.
However, such topics still made her feel more relaxed.
Yu Zhidao smiled slightly, still looking out the window.
He said softly: "In 1938, I worked as a quartermaster in Pang Bingxun's Third Army in the Fifth War Zone. I was a lieutenant colonel at that time. At that time, the Third Army had just repelled the Japanese Sakagaki Fifth Army.
The division's attack on Linyi caused heavy casualties and a shortage of ammunition. On that day, I entered the city on a cart full of ammunition. It was a long cart, horse-drawn.
.My condition at the time was very bad. Before that, I was almost rushing to transport ammunition in the flames of war. My body and face were covered with mud, like a clay figure. My uniform was also torn and my hat was lost. I had to give it as soon as possible.
Send ammunition to the troops in the city."
Yu Zhidao smiled and looked back at Zuo Shaoqing, "When I was transporting ammunition into the city, many local people in Linyi welcomed us on the street and shouted to us. It was at that time that I noticed a female student, very young
She was a very innocent female student. She was wearing a white top, a black skirt, and a short haircut. She kept staring at me and walking forward behind the crowd. I didn't know what was wrong, but I kept staring at her.
I couldn't move away. Just like that, I sat on the cart and walked forward. She walked along the street, behind the crowd. She stared at me, and I stared at her. Later, she became my wife
.”
Zuo Shaoqing's face was full of smiles. Such adventures are always very touching. She said: "That's great. Boss Yu, today I finally discovered another side of you, a very warm and touching side. You love me very much."
she."
Yu Zhidao showed a rare gentle smile, "Of course. We have never blushed in these years. Mr. Zuo, I don't know what you think of me. In fact, I don't really care what you think of me. My self-evaluation is
, I’m basically a good person. What do you think?”
