Old Movies of the Republic of China(37)

When three or four years came, the fourth master was not in a good mood. He often sneered at the news in the newspapers. Lin Yutong put away the newspapers: "Okay! I won't read anymore." What about Pu Yi?

Knowing the outcome, why are you so angry? She changed the subject, "This year the students have all saved up, and it's almost time to celebrate the New Year, and they have all returned. What should we do? Should we celebrate the New Year outside the city, or go back to the city."

Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong and said, "Just outside the city. Let's take a good rest. I've been really tired lately."

Lin Yutong thought the same way, "If we go back to the city, it will be tiring just to deal with the customers."

There was no need to prepare New Year's goods, Zheng Dong prepared them properly and drove them over one by one. The people who accompanied Fourth Master and Lin Yutong to celebrate the New Year outside the city, besides Tongchui mother and son, were Uncle Bai Kun and nephew.

Lin Yutong and Tongchui Niang were busy in the kitchen. Men have their own things to do. Just the factory over the Huaishulin area is giving out welfare during the New Year, which makes a few people very busy. How do the workers work shifts, how do they ensure that secrets are not leaked, etc.

, are all issues to consider.

The days flew by and it was the 30th of the twelfth lunar month. The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous, including chicken, duck and fish. Aunt Tong's cooking skills were good, and Lin Yutong didn't touch her hands much, and the meal was served on the table. Everyone who celebrated the New Year said auspicious words

, no matter how unpleasant it was, no one mentioned it. It took several hours after the meal was eaten.

You can't hear the sound of firecrackers outside the city, and it's not close to anywhere. At almost twelve o'clock, the copper hammer symbolically set off two firecrackers in the yard, marking the end of the year.

As soon as I opened the door on New Year's Day, I saw Zheng Dong outside the door, "Have a great New Year!"

Lin Yutong had to admire this person, he was very unassuming. Even if he didn't like such a person, he couldn't dislike him.

The fourth master smiled and welcomed him in. Lin Yutong served tea and then went to a side room to prepare a return gift for Zheng Dong. This New Year greeting was a bit heavy.

He vaguely listened to the voices outside. Zheng Dong lowered his voice: "...There is an extra pair of eyes around here, which makes it inconvenient to do anything. We will officially start work next year, so we have to be careful about this woman."

Lin Yutong knew that this was Tao Tao.

I heard Fourth Master ask: "What do you think?"

Zheng Dong seemed to be undecided, and after a long time he said: "To be honest, it is easy to move this woman away. Even if you are in a hurry, it is not difficult to just...

?This one is in the open, and we have been together for two years. We know each other to some extent, and it is relatively easy to control. But if it were someone else, we wouldn’t know anything about it, so we might as well ask her to occupy the seat.

.In addition, now we are planting people in the open. If we are in a hurry, we can plant someone in the dark. Then we will be really unpreventable. So what I mean is, not only can we not touch this woman,

We'll provide for her well. We'll let her see whatever she wants to see. But... only you know best about the production process. Can we tamper with the production process and don't ask her to see everything?

Already."

Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat. These words really hit the fourth master's heart. The fourth master never mentioned it on his own initiative. It turned out that he knew that this guy would take the initiative to mention it.

As she thought this, the movements of her hands and feet slowed down.

I heard Fourth Master say: "I don't want her to see it, unless a certain link is not produced in the factory."

Zheng Dong's eyes lit up and his voice lowered: "This is a good idea. I don't ask for the specific address of the factory in the dark or who is in charge. I'm thinking, can we change it?"

The idea is that both factories are missing a link. I will produce one more link of parts for them, and they will produce one more link for me. After the two sides make the finished products, they exchange them with each other. No one suffers, and no one loses.

Don’t take advantage. In this way, you can also ensure that secrets are not leaked.”

Lin Yutong thought to himself, it's good to have a solution, but how can you guarantee that the Fourth Master has the same intentions on both sides? However, although this dark factory is in the dark, many people know that such a factory exists. Nowadays,

Judging from what Fourth Master means, he probably doesn't plan to produce the key parts at these two factories. The smaller set of equipment in the secret room is probably prepared for this. Tao Tao is a member of the Wang family, and Fourth Master doesn't

He must be wary of Zheng Dong, but he must be wary of Wang Xi.

Sure enough, I heard Fourth Master say: "This is a good idea, it's settled."

Lin Yutong thought to himself, Zheng Dong would really dig a hole for himself.

After sending Zheng Dong away, Fourth Master called Bai Kun to speak, "...Now, the main thing is to have well-trained workers. As for the drawings, you don't necessarily have to master them all."

Bai Kun thought the same way, "I will do the workers' work, and if they are interested, we will send people to safely send them to the Soviet area. When we can build our own arsenal, these people will be the backbone."

Fourth Master had no say in these matters, which were all the workers' own choices. Even among students, Bai Kun did student work in private, and he never interfered too much.

The two had a conversation, and the fourth master finally gave a few words of advice, "... Zheng Dong is a smart man, and we may interact with each other more frequently in the future. So, you still have to be careful in everything. In addition, our factory here, raw materials

The transportation is a secret among secrets. If you don't do it well, the last lair will be exposed. When the time comes...Old Bai, it will be broad daylight. Once it is placed in the open, this factory will be very harmful to you.

It’s useless.”

Bai Kun's expression became solemn: "Don't worry, I will notify my family as soon as possible. This part of the work still needs someone's cooperation to complete. My... focus is still on ensuring your safety."

After exchanging opinions, Bai Kun left. He was not in a hurry, the key was that Fourth Master and Lin Yutong also had to get up and go out to pay New Year greetings.

For example, Principal Song’s home, colleagues from the school, and some literati whom Fourth Master knew all came to visit. At a professor’s home, I was fortunate enough to see the manuscript of "Thunderstorm". I heard that some university students privately

The play was rehearsed there, and although it did not sell tickets to the public, it became an instant hit in a small circle.

On the second day of the new year, the two returned to their parents' home. In their small yard, Yang Zi had already turned up the stove for them, and the house was warm. After Huaizi came back, she did not move out. This is why Lin's mother

There was some dissatisfaction, but Huaizi insisted: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and a large family lives together, taking care of each other, and is safe!"

Therefore, the matter was shelved.

Today, Lin Yutong returned to her parents' home, and Lin's mother had to talk a few words. Lin Yutong just listened and did not express any opinions after listening. Instead, she asked about Xingzi's schooling.

Xingzi was actually reluctant to part with the braised pork business, but Lin’s mother now considered Xingzi to be an official lady, so she didn’t ask her to show her face, but supported her to go to school. She even asked Lin Yutong: "Does your school recruit Xingzi like this?"

s student?"

I can’t write well, what should I do?

Lin Yutong was just thinking about how to say this when he heard Xingzi answer: "As long as I graduate from high school, I can't do it. I'd better listen to Yang Zi and go to nursing school. I'll go to nursing school and get an injection and bandage the wound. I should be able to

learn."

Mother Lin was also unwilling: "This requires injections, and what's going on with looking at this man's butt all day long?"

These words made Xingzi's face turn red.

Yang Zi hurriedly said: "Mom, what are you talking about? They are called angels in white. In the eyes of doctors, there is only the difference between patients and non-patients. How can we distinguish between men and women? You are serious! How old are you, and you still say

Such nonsense."

Lin's mother was suppressed by Yang Zi. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xingzi was sent to nursing school and chose to stay in the dormitory.

I didn't see Lin Dehai throughout the whole New Year. I guess he had thought about it and was a little afraid of Lin Yutong. In addition, after Huaizi came back, he complained to no avail, so he never went forward. Now he wants to

Qian has filial sons and daughters, and because Huaizi is not what he used to be, there are many people who come to fawn over him without knowing the reason, and his life is comfortable. Widow Liu came back from her parents' home years ago, and now she serves him like an old man.

, and it didn't bother the eyes. He didn't go back to Lin's house, so Huaizi directly gave him New Year's goods without any intention of inviting him back, which made him feel more at ease.

This New Year has passed so peacefully.

I heard that Tao Tao came to visit Huaizi to pay New Year's greetings, and was very kind to Lin's mother. At first, Lin Yutong was a little worried that Lin's mother was confused, so he actually recruited this woman into the house. Who would have thought that Lin's mother was holding back her energy to find a girl?

How could a well-born lady with her own son, a girl from a low background and hanging out among men, fall in her eyes? Yu Xiaoman, whom she used to like, heard that she was working as a secretary in a factory, and her face

They were not good-looking. They felt that they were not women of their own responsibilities. Such a girl must not be taken home as a wife. Later, Tao Tao came to visit for the second time. Huaizi was kind and smiling, and Lin's mother immediately lowered her face and scolded Huai.

Tao Tao was beaten for a long time. In the end, Tao Tao was so angry that she cried. Huaizi sent him away with an apologetic and guilty look. When he saw Lin Yutong asking about it, he laughed: "Don't say it yet, this

Foolish people have their uses. I hid from Tao Tao several times a year ago. The clan used the guise of being busy, but hiding here and there was no solution. But face it, the refusal was too direct, this woman was afraid

I won't let it go and ask her to hold a grudge again, which I can't do. I was thinking about asking Amma to come forward to send the person away after the Chinese New Year, but who knew that E Niang had intervened in this way. Anyway, she felt that she wanted to get in.

The two elders are determined not to agree to the door to our house. This is enough. Let’s do the rest slowly.”

"It's just that it delayed your marriage..." Lin Yutong looked at Huaizi, "Don't think too much about it when you find the right one. You can't even have a family just because she's here."

"It depends on fate." Huaizi smiled, but didn't take it seriously at all.

Lin Yutong thought of Yu Xiaoman again: "Have you been in contact with her again?" Otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned it so suddenly last time.

Huaizi nodded: "You also know the relationship between me and Zheng Dong, and we can't avoid meeting Yu Xiaoman. I know what you want to say. We... are probably not the same people. In their line of work, I have said it a long time ago.

It's hard to have a happy ending. But even if you want to get away, you can't get away. I won't dare to jump on you knowing that there is danger. This girl makes people feel very comfortable, and it is easy to make people like her.

At one time Zheng Dong wanted to make a match, but later I refused. If something is unlikely to come to fruition, don't start it."

A very sensible choice.

Lin Yutong was speechless. Huaizi had a mature and determined mind, and he knew exactly what to choose.

After the first lunar month, the students returned one after another. They started working during the day and continued classes at night. Now that production has officially started, the fourth master spent the day in the factory and didn't even come back for lunch.

The fourth master and these students were offered a small stove in the factory, but the fourth master refused. They only had one meal in the factory. These students were used to hard work, so they were told to separate from the hard-working workers.

Eating is really something I'm not used to.

When Zheng Dong saw Fourth Master's insistence, he took a step back and ordered food from a big restaurant for Fourth Master and asked it to be delivered every day according to meal orders. Fourth Master laughed: "I can't get used to eating outside food, and my family is worried about it.

Okay, I’ll deliver it on time every day.”

Anyway, stick to one thing and resolutely not be special. Who knows what kind of label this special thing will be labeled in the future.

Therefore, Bai Yuan had one more errand every day, which was to deliver meals to Fourth Master. Lin Yutong knew what Fourth Master meant, so the meals were very simple. Two dishes and one soup, all vegetarian. Sometimes it was not as good as the workers' food.

, but it’s more about being exquisite. We all ate in the workshop, and when we saw Fourth Master’s food, no one had any differences. No matter how exquisite the vegetarian dishes are, they are still vegetarian dishes. Cabbage soup cannot be changed into braised pork. The impression of Fourth Master’s simplicity,

It is imprinted in the hearts of many people.

Lin Yutong packed the food that day. It was still very cold in February. It snowed two days ago, which made the temperature even lower. If there was no charcoal stove in the car, the food would be cold when it arrived. Today Lin Yutong is cooking

The food was almond spinach, stir-fried lotus root, and the soup was egg drop soup. I told Bai Yuan to be careful on the road, and then I watched him leave.

It only took half an hour for the mule cart to travel ten miles. When they arrived at the destination, Bai Yuan got off the cart and the driver waited under the big tree at the entrance of the factory without giving any instructions.
