In order to ease the relationship with the garrison, Jiang Xinyu, as the representative of Yanjin Station, was ordered to rush to Peiping to explain various misunderstandings to General Fu in person.
What people didn't expect was that Jiang Xinyu waited in Peiping for three full days without even seeing General Fu in person. Every time he called to inquire, the General Suppression Officer would excuse himself by saying he was busy with military affairs.
In desperation, after consulting Qiao Muchai, Jiang Xinyu returned to Yanjin on the morning of the fourth day.
At noon, Jiang Xinyu's train arrived at Yanjin. He did not go back to the station directly. He had not seen Rongrong for several days, and he felt a little uneasy.
Hearing the footsteps of her master, the black girl ran back and forth in the yard happily.
"Sir is back." Little Button was cleaning fallen leaves in the yard.
"Is there anything going on at home?" Jiang Xinyu asked.
Little Button said: "Nothing happened. Miss Rongrong just went to bed. You came back at just the right time. The food is still hot."
Jiang Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief. He was most worried about something going on at home when he was away from home. Fortunately, everything was safe and sound.
Tong Tong had just finished lunch and saw Jiang Xinyu coming back. He said in surprise: "When did you come back? Why didn't you call in advance?"
Jiang Xinyu put down his suitcase and said: "The trains are often late now, and I don't know when I will get home, so I didn't call."
"have you eaten?"
"No, I just got off the car."
"The food is still hot..."
"Rongrong is asleep?"
"Well, I took her to the amusement park to play all morning. Maybe she was tired and didn't even eat lunch. She fell asleep lying on her little bed. You don't even know how well-behaved Rongrong is." Thinking of Rongrong.
As he looked while sleeping, Tongtong had a smile on his face.
Jiang Xinyu took off his coat, hung it on the coat rack, and started to go upstairs.
Tong Tong grabbed his arm: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to see Rongrong."
"Rongrong has just fallen asleep. If you go there, you will definitely wake her up. Wouldn't you dare to go upstairs without looking at me?"
Jiang Xinyu had no choice but to sit down, and Tong Tong went to the kitchen and quickly brought the food.
There are four dishes in total, fried yellow croaker, stewed tofu with obviously too much soy sauce, salty radish shreds mixed with sesame oil, and a bowl of clam seafood soup.
Tong Tong sat aside, pointed at the tofu and said, "Xinyu, I made this with my own hands. You can try it."
Jiang Xinyu took a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and said: "It's not bad, but the quality is a bit different."
Tong Tong pouted and said: "It's just Xiao Button's fault. She kept nagging beside her to put less soy sauce. My hands shook and I poured too much. I'll sew her mouth shut next time.
Get up, otherwise it will affect my cooking skills."
Jiang Xinyu smiled, thinking that for Tong Tong, it was already rare to be able to cook in the kitchen himself.
"Tongtong, after staying in Yanjin for a long time, your taste has changed."
"No, what has changed?"
"You're a Sichuanese who didn't even eat chili peppers, and you said the taste hasn't changed?" Jiang Xinyu pointed at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks. Four dishes didn't even have half a chili pepper.
Tong Tong rolled her eyes at him: "You forgot, Rongrong is allergic to spicy food."
"You can make a dish alone..."
"No need to bother. Anyway, Mina will be back in a few days. I'll go back to Uncle Wang's house and cook whatever I want in the kitchen." Tong Tong said with a smile.
"How do you know Mina is coming back?"
"I sent a telegram from Mui Ne, saying that all the tickets were bought..."
…………
Confidential Yanjin Station.
Webmaster's Office.
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door.
Qiao Mu put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Come in."
Jiang Xinyu pushed the door open and walked in: "Webmaster, I'm back."
Qiao Mu stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Xinyu, thank you for your hard work on this trip to Peking. Sit down quickly."
Jiang Xinyu smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't complete the task, so I don't dare to say it was hard."
"I can't blame you for not completing the task. It doesn't matter whoever it is. Let's lower our profile and explain the situation. His boss is very arrogant. That's his business. The Secrecy Bureau gave it to him. As for the future, it will be done in the future.
talk later."
"Stationmaster, I never quite understand. Because of the incident at the Qiangou position, the headquarters dismissed Wu Jingrong from his post. This has already given in to the garrison. Why do we still need to send someone to suppress the general to explain the situation?"
"Fu** has a lot of troops and a very important influence in North China. Now is a critical period of the war. The government is trying to appease him so as not to affect the morale of the military. Otherwise, how can the Secrecy Bureau show weakness to others!"
While talking, Qiao Mucai sat on the sofa with Jiang Xinyu, looked up at the clock on the wall, and said, "I thought you would be able to arrive at Yanjin at noon, but I didn't expect the train to be so late."
Jiang Xinyu explained: "Oh, the train was not late today. I did arrive in Yanjin at noon, and I took a trip back home."
Qiao Mucai smiled and said, "You want a child?"
"A little."
"It's human nature, understandable... By the way, Miss Tong is still at your house, right?"
"During this period, luckily I have Tong Tong helping to take care of the house. Otherwise, I would have had to bring the child to the station."
Qiao Mucai nodded, looked at Jiang Xinyu for a while, and said, "I told you something, so don't worry."
"You say."
"Mrs. Jiang, Xixi, oh, and your servant, took a special plane to Tiwan last night..."
Jiang Xinyu was stunned for a long time. He once suspected that he had heard wrong and said hesitantly: "You just said that Mina and Xixi went to Diwan?"
Qiao Mucai nodded: "Not only Mrs. Jiang, but also my family members, Director Feng's family members, including the family members of the main officials of the Zhejiang Station, all took the same plane. Jiangshan sent people from the Hangzhou Station to pick up Mrs. Jiang.
and the children, they boarded the plane in Hangzhou."
Jiang Xinyu said solemnly: "But...why is this?"
Qiao Mucai sneered and said: "Why else? The Communist Army is unstoppable on all battlefields, while the National Army is losing one battle after another. The higher-ups are worried that we will be half-hearted and send our families away earlier, which will tie us up tightly."
Yet?"
Jiang Xinyu's mind went blank at the moment, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qiao Mucai sighed: "Oh, this thing is really too sudden. You were on business in Peking at the time, and it was not convenient to tell you on the phone...Besides, even if you knew it, it would be useless. You still have to send him away. This is Kuniyoshi
According to the military orders of the Ministry, no one can be exempted from the personnel involved."
Seeing Jiang Xinyu's devastated look, Qiao Mucai comforted him and said, "You don't have to be too anxious. When they get there, not only will there be dedicated personnel to take care of them, but the Guofang Department will be responsible for all expenses. Besides, you have to think on the bright side in everything.
Maybe after a few months, the war will calm down, and it may be possible to send the family back again."
Jiang Xinyu stabilized his mind and said: "Stationmaster, this is what I think... Although the national army has suffered a temporary setback, judging from the overall strength of both sides, whether it is weapons and equipment or combat experience, we still have the advantage. This kind of
Under such circumstances, why did you suddenly start planning for defeat?"
"The committee members have been foresighted and considered that things are different from ours. Maybe we are planning for a rainy day... We are the first batch. Director Mao said that the second and third batches will be arranged soon. Being able to be ranked in the first batch shows the above
You pay enough attention to us, but if you think about it this way, you won’t feel balanced in your heart?” Qiao Mucai said with a smile.
"The problem is, I still have a Rongrong at home, what should I do in the future? Can I really bring my child to the station?"
"Isn't there Miss Tong? She must be happy to take care of Rongrong..."
