"A bicycle costs one hundred and sixty silver dollars, which is equivalent to half a year's living expenses for the whole family. Your brother is studying in the United States, and the family doesn't have that much money to buy it for you. You can buy it yourself when you earn your salary!"
As soon as Professor Lu heard this topic, he hurriedly took the tea cup to the study room.
My son spent a lot of money abroad, and the family had no other income. They could only help the bookstore translate some foreign books, and earn some translation fees to support the family.
"Mom, look at how partial my dad is!"
"The newspaper office only earns a few dozen yuan a month, and I still have to buy clothes and lunch. I'm an old antique who values boys over girls!"
When Lu Kunyu saw his father's performance, he stamped his feet in anger.
"You silly boy, you won't let your brother Mingxiang buy it for you. I think he is riding a new bicycle tonight." My mother had an idea.
"How can that be done? Brother Mingxiang hasn't started working yet, and his family is not rich either." Lu Kunyu shook his head and said.
"It's true that the girl is an outgoing girl. She hasn't married yet, so she just thought about it for him. Mingxiang doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into you. You still think about her every day after you come back from school," my mother said with a smile.
"Mom, what are you talking about? When did I say I wanted to marry brother Mingxiang?"
Lu Kunyu felt that his face was hot and burning.
She knew that her little thoughts could not be hidden from her mother. If she wanted to get married in this life, the only figure that would come to her mind would be Chen Mingxiang.
That guy had already firmly occupied her heart, and he could no longer accommodate anyone else.
"Kunyu, Haiwen, why are you here?" Chen Mingxiang, who was returning home from get off work, saw junior sisters Lu Kunyu and Zhou Haiwen at the door of his house.
There was a Buick parked next to the two people, probably the Zhou family's car.
"Brother, my dad was arrested by No. 76. He was said to have a grudge against the traitor Ji Yunqing and might have participated in the murder of Ji Yunqing."
"I took ten gold bars to go to the guard captain Wu Sibao, but he said that my father was very suspicious and kicked me out without taking the money. Can you think of a way to save my father?" Zhou Haiwen said.
"What, uncle was also arrested by No. 76?"
"But I've only been in the secret service headquarters for less than half a month. I'm just a low-level employee and I don't know anyone well. I'll find someone to inquire about it tomorrow!"
Chen Mingxiang didn't dare to say it all. Being careful in what he says and what he does is the most basic code for an agent.
Zhou Haiwen was not too disappointed, he knew Chen Mingxiang's character.
Besides, Chen Mingxiang has just joined No. 76 and the relationship has not yet opened up. You can't blame him. This time, he came with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Brother Mingxiang, didn't you say that Captain Wu likes to collect money the most? Why don't you give him gold bars?" Lu Kunyu began to choose vegetables and cook. Coming here was like coming to home.
"It's true that Wu Sibao likes money, but what he likes is big money. If he gets ten large yellow croakers, he can give you a good look. The small yellow croakers are too low for the Haiwen family. He thinks you take too little.
Yes!" Chen Mingxiang curled his lips and said.
Ten small yellow croakers are equal to three hundred oceans, which is also equivalent to three hundred French currency. Of course, this refers to the legal currency at this time, while ten large yellow croakers are equal to three thousand oceans.
During this period, the monthly salary of ordinary workers was more than 20 yuan, and that of a professor at Fudan University was only more than 400 yuan. As the chairman of the Republic of China government, not counting public expenses, the marked monthly salary was only 800 yuan. This is not a small sum.
number.
How do you compare it? In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a lot of money, but for the wealthy businessmen in Shanghai, it is not a big deal. There are many who have hundreds of thousands or millions of French currency, let alone ten large yellow croakers.
, one hundred strands is no problem.
"It takes ten big yellow croakers to change his face? Damn you, this grandson is so evil. It's equivalent to paying three thousand oceans to give him a smile!"
"No wonder so many people went to Wu Sibao, but none of them succeeded. They were holding back a high price!"
Zhou Haiwen suddenly realized and said.
"Why, are there many people looking for Wu Sibao?" Chen Mingxiang said strangely.
"Yes, this time, thanks to the murder of Ji Yunqing, a big traitor, more than a hundred wealthy businessmen in Shanghai were arrested and interrogated by No. 76. Now they can't find the temple gate with a pig's head."
"It's not that I feel sorry for these ten yellow croakers, but I'm afraid that Wu Sibao will be greedy and continue to make money, which will lead to bankruptcy!"
Zhou Haiwen said bitterly.
The dishes were very simple. Chen Mingxiang bought pork head, fried peanuts and white chopped chicken. Lu Kunyu fried two vegetables and simmered a pot of rice. The three of them started eating.
"Kunyu, you can't drink. If you let the teacher know, I can't afford such a responsibility."
Seeing Lu Kunyu also taking a wine glass and pouring wine, Chen Mingxiang almost jumped up in fright. He was really worried that the teacher would scold him half to death for this.
When he became a translator on the 76th, he was already disliked by the teacher, and then let his beloved Lu Kunyu smell of alcohol. Chen Mingxiang was really shuddering to imagine that kind of scene!
Not to mention that he is now a military commander, even if he has become a bureau chief, meeting Professor Lu is like a mouse meeting a cat. Once a teacher, he will always be a father. This is the traditional Chinese thought.
"Look at how scared you are. Is my dad that scary? It's okay. Huadiao is only over 10 degrees Celsius and you can't get drunk. I sometimes drink with my dad at home."
Lu Kunyu hit Chen Mingxiang's wrist with his chopsticks.
"In this way, you give me ten large yellow croakers, and I'll go find the Japanese military police to get in touch with you. I'm so numb. For my uncle's sake, I won't be afraid of being called a traitor!"
Chen Mingxiang suddenly thought of the words of Warrant Officer Shibuya and Liu Nina, and couldn't help but have an idea.
Warrant Officer Shibuya also said today that Wu Sibao went too far this time and had aroused the strong dissatisfaction of General Ying Zuo. He ordered the Special High School Section to find out the identity of the suspect and release him immediately if there were no problems.
And Liu Nina said that Wu Sibao was too greedy, and the Japanese did not get any benefits. The two directors combined were not as much as Wu Sibao, so this was an operational opportunity.
"After all, we are brothers. I won't say thank you. I know you won't do anything that is harmful to nature. If anyone calls you a traitor, I will kill him!"
"Let the driver go to the house to get the money. My dad can be bailed out as soon as possible and he will suffer less. I heard that it is scarier than the Palace of Hell."
Zhou Haiwen knew that Chen Mingxiang never fought a battle that he was not sure of. Dare he say that, he was at least 90% sure.
"Brother Mingxiang, you just arrived at work on the 76th. How can those vicious Japanese military police give you this face?"
Lu Kunyu said curiously.
"Shibuya, the captain of the Japanese military police stationed at the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, comes to my office every day to drink tea. I am more or less familiar with him."
"In addition, Haiwen wants to get me some good sake and find a chef who can cook Japanese food. I will find an opportunity to invite him to my house for dinner." Chen Mingxiang said.
"That's no problem. As long as you're willing to spend money, it's not hard to find a chef who can cook Japanese food. And he must be the best. If you want anything else, just ask."
