There are two times for receiving shortwave clear code calls, one is at eight o'clock in the evening and the other is at ten o'clock in the evening.
Tonight, his parents stayed at home. Jiang Xinyu could only wait until ten o'clock in the evening. He felt that his parents had gone to bed, so he tiptoed to the study room and turned on the radio and tuned it to a specific band.
After a burst of "rustling" radio waves.
"The volcano calls out the sting, the volcano calls out the sting, please take note, 44589, 8563, 5895, 2412, 1211, 893o, 123o, 5489, o189, 335, call completed..."
Jiang Xinyu took out the code comparison book and quickly translated the content of the message: Bee sting, Lao Qiu was arrested, the organization decided to carry out rescue, and has mobilized guerrillas near Yanjin to participate. You can cooperate in secret. If there is relevant information, send it to
Contact point. Great Wall News Agency.
Jiang Xinyu was shocked. He thought Lao Qiu had arrived in Peiping. How could he be suddenly arrested?
Hattori Hikoo must have known about this matter, but he didn't mention a word tonight. Did he think it was inappropriate, or was he deliberately hiding it from himself?
There were footsteps outside the door, and Jiang Xinyu quickly turned off the radio. Without enough time to burn the translation, he crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang's mother walked in from the outside, holding a plate of washed fruits in her hand.
"Mom, are you still awake?" Jiang Xinyu reached out and took the fruit plate.
Mother Jiang's eyes were full of love and she said, "I saw the lights were on in the study, so I came over to take a look. You should pay more attention to rest."
"Is my father asleep?"
Jiang's mother smiled and said: "I went to bed. A minute ago I said that I couldn't sleep in a different place, so I snored when it touched the pillow."
Jiang Xinyu: "My dad always sleeps very well."
Mother Jiang looked at her son for a while and sighed softly.
"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
"Xinyu, Mom wants to hear the truth from you. Is there really no other reason why you married Mina?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Why do you suddenly ask this? Is it because of my father's influence?"
Jiang's mother shook her head and said: "You are the meat that fell off my body. Mom knows you too well. No matter when or who you treat, you have never been like this before."
"How am I doing?"
"Your eyes."
"What's wrong with the eyes?"
"I have never seen you look so flattering at that Major!"
Jiang Xinyu's heart skipped a beat and he said: "Major Hattori is my immediate superior. I have no choice but to do that. It's all for survival."
Jiang's mother sighed again and said: "Xinyu, you can't deceive mom. I don't believe your personality can change so much. Are you worried about us being in danger in your hurry to let me and your father return to Jiangshan?"
Jiang Xinyu suddenly discovered that the training he had received as an agent seemed completely useless in front of his mother, and there was nothing he could do to escape.
Jiang Xinyu pondered for a while and said: "Mom, Yanjin is the territory of the Japanese after all. With my father's temper, I am worried that I will get into trouble, so it is better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."
"Okay, we will listen to you and leave in two days."
"Mom, you and my dad must be prepared at any time. I may send you away in the next minute."
"Why so urgent?"
"Because...Major Hattori may try to retain you, which will be very troublesome..."
"Then what if he finds out and sends someone to stop us?"
"I'll figure this out."
Jiang's mother said worriedly: "Xinyu, why do I sound like I'm running away?"
Jiang Xinyu said comfortingly: "Mom, don't worry, it's not that serious. Oh, by the way, if anyone asks you why you want to leave, just say that you are not accustomed to the climate and you don't trust your family."
"It's true that I'm worried about my family. The gold bars you gave me are all placed under the box. If I stay in Yanjin for too long, it will be terrible if my family is robbed."
"Yes, that's it. You can also talk about the gold bars."
"Xinyu."
"ah?"
"Are you working for the military commander?"
Jiang's mother's sudden words startled Jiang Xinyu, and he quickly said: "Mom, don't say such nonsense, it is a crime of losing your head!"
"I know, even if I'm talking to you, I won't even talk to your father. He talks like that..."
"Mom, do you know what Juntong is?"
Jiang's mother picked up an orange and peeled it while saying, "Do you think mom only knows how to wash and cook and not know anything else? Mom is literate. Newspapers often talk about military commanders killing traitors in occupied areas. Your dad also gave it to me.
Told it.”
Jiang Xinyu extended his thumb and praised: "You are really a woman, you are so old and still care about national affairs."
Mother Jiang handed the peeled orange to her son and said, "Xinyu, do you know what your father said when he read the newspaper?"
"How did he say?"
Mother Jiang said slowly: "Your father said that if those heroes and martyrs were his sons, even if he died, he would have no regrets in this life..."
"Mom, I..."
"Go to bed early and don't stay up late all the time. It's not good for your health."
Mother Jiang patted the back of her son's hand, stood up slowly, opened the door and walked out.
For a moment, Jiang Xinyu even wanted to tell his mother about his identity as a military commander. Fortunately, reason defeated his impulse and telling his parents this secret would not do them any good!
…………
The next day, early morning.
"Ring ring ring ring!" the phone rang.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"It's me." It was Hattori Mina's voice on the phone.
"It's so early, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask... uncle and aunt... did you sleep well?" Hattori Mina said hesitantly.
"fine."
"Do you want me to buy some and send them over early?"
"My mother got up early and the food is ready."
"Oh, all right……"
Mother Jiang in the kitchen said: "Xinyu, dinner is ready."
Jiang Xinyu covered the receiver with his hand and said, "Where is my father?"
Mother Jiang: "He went for a walk, there's no need to wait for him."
Jiang Xinyu agreed and said to the phone: "Mina, stop talking, I'm going to eat."
"Ai……"
"Any thing else?"
"That, that..."
Chang Hongling's voice suddenly changed on the phone and said: "Hello, Captain Jiang, I am Hattori Ayako."
"Hello, Mrs. Hattori."
"I'm sorry, I seem to be too impatient. Let me ask for Mina."
"Please tell me."
"Mina wants to ask, has the date been set?"
"Uh... not yet. The old man pays attention to tradition and said he wanted to choose an auspicious day. It will be almost settled in the next few days."
"Okay, if you have any news, please inform us as soon as possible. Mina is very anxious..."
"OK."
Hattori Mina complained on the phone: "I'm not in a hurry, what are you talking about..."
