Chapter 15 The First Conversation
Following into the house, Feng Yaqing pulled the wire in the dark and turned on the lights. On the left side of the door was the kitchen and on the right side was the wall.
When you walk in, you will be considered a living room, but it looks like a place to eat. There is a small room with the door closed and I don’t know the situation inside. There is a staircase on the side of the canteen against the wall to go up to the second floor.
There is not much space to see, but it is clean and spotless. It is actually difficult for families with children to organize so neatly. It seems that Feng Yaqing himself is a clean person.
"Sorry, I don't know when you will come, so I can't wait at home." Feng Yaqing said with apologies after entering the door.
"The situation on the road is complicated, and there is no accurate letter."
“Just arrive safely.”
"Why are you late to come back today? Are you in trouble?"
"It's too late?" Feng Yaqing didn't understand very much.
"The aunt next door said you will be back at five o'clock."
"Are you looking at the big clock outside?" Feng Yaqing noticed that Wei Dingbo was not wearing a watch.
"right."
The watch was taken off when he left the Military Commission. It was not suitable to wear watches of that price in an exile student. When I went to Meitan for training and study, I was not paid for my salary, so I never bought the watch again.
Feng Yaqing understood as soon as she heard this and explained: "After the Japanese occupied Hankou, the 'New Time' system was implemented, which was one hour faster than the original time, the same as Tokyo time."
The five o'clock the aunt next door said was the original time, but the time of the big clock on the street outside had been adjusted to Tokyo time by the Japanese army. The six o'clock on the big clock was the five o'clock that the aunt said.
"You are lurking in Hankou and you have to master a lot of things. I'll tell you later. Now I'll make some food for you first to be a welcome to the air." Feng Yaqing took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, and then went to the kitchen to work hard.
"No more trouble."
"Should you sit down and wait."
"I'll help you."
"You can cook?"
“It’s easier.”
"Will it be possible to wash vegetables and cut vegetables?"
"meeting."
"Then I'll trouble you, let's hurry up."
Feng Yaqing seemed to be alienated without refusing. The two were comrades and comrades-in-arms, and they were also partners who covered each other and lurked together. There is no need to be too polite.
Wei Dingbo squatted outside the kitchen, washing vegetables in the basin, watching Feng Yaqing busy in the kitchen.
He didn't have much contact with Feng Yaqing, but he thought that the other party could keenly capture and control other people's thoughts. At this time, he asked Wei Dingbo to help cook because of his considerations, so that he could be more comfortable.
Isn’t this awkward to open my mouth when I have food and clothes to reach out to my hands?
He said he was helping, that is, he washed the vegetables, and Feng Yaqing finished cutting the vegetables easily.
The vegetables were cut cleanly and neatly, and the knife skills were obvious. Wei Dingbo, who had washed the dishes, did not leave, but leaned against the kitchen door frame and watched Feng Yaqing show her cooking skills.
"I didn't prepare it today, so I only have a simple meal." Feng Yaqing kept saying in her hands.
"I can't eat even if I make less."
"Just two dishes, not many."
Soon the two dishes were out of the pot. Wei Dingbo brought the dishes to the dinner table, and Feng Yaqing brought two bowls of rice over.
"It's not enough to eat in the pot."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, try it and see how it tastes."
"There are both colors, fragrances, and colors, and now, I think the taste will not be too bad."
"This plate is fried Hongshan cabbage, so there is no need to introduce this plate of fried eggs."
"I'll try it." Wei Dingbo stretched out his chopsticks and picked up chopsticks and put them in a bowl, and put them in the mouth with the hot rice.
"It's delicious." Wei Dingbo didn't praise him politely, he really thought it was delicious, and the simple stir-fry also had a unique taste.
Feng Yaqing didn't move her chopsticks until Wei Dingbo commented that it was delicious that she smiled on her face and picked up the chopsticks to eat.
They said they were not talking nonsense, but the two of them were not polite. Feng Yaqing said during the meal: "I will explain some precautions to you in detail, so you have an understanding of them."
"Okay." Wei Dingbo nodded.
"You already know the 'new time' system, and another thing related to time is curfew."
"I've heard of the curfew."
"The curfew is from 7 pm every day to 7 pm the next morning. No one is allowed to go out unless there is a special pass." The time Feng Yaqing mentioned at this time was Hankou time. After all, few people are used to the Japanese army's "new time" system.
"There is also the housing permit. The organization should forge it for you. However, if you want to lurk in Hankou for a long time, you need to apply for a new housing permit."
“Can I handle it?”
"Wars are everywhere, and Hankou has a large daily traffic. As long as there is no problem with the status, you can apply for a residence permit."
"Then I'll find some time to check it out."
"Don't worry, stay for a few days first. Then I will prove my relationship with you and help you apply for a living permit."
"Will it cause you trouble?"
"Won't."
"Then it's up to your arrangement."
"There is also the issue of the French Concession. After the Japanese army occupied Wuhan, the French Concession was heavily guarded. A wall of two or three meters high was erected with barbed wire around it, leaving only a few imports and exports. The French Concession resident certificate was required to enter and exit freely."
“Where is no resident certificate?”
"The person who goes in to do business also needs to have proof. The French Concession authorities are worried that something will happen in the concession, and the Japanese army takes advantage of the situation and enters the concession to provoke trouble."
"The Japanese army stretched out their hands long enough."
"The headquarters of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force is located in the Hankou Salt Bank Building, the Hankou Gendarmerie is in the former Zhongyuan Bank Building, and the New Broadcasting Bureau is at No. 41, Lihuangpi Road..."
Feng Yaqing also told Wei Dingbo some of the locations where the Japanese military organs were located, so that he could pay attention.
She said in detail, Wei Dingbo asked: "Are you responsible for investigating this information before?"
"It's not me, but after the fall of Wuhan, the first task of the entire Special Committee was to investigate clearly the Japanese Army's troops stations, numbers and personnel and weapons, the number of naval warships and airplanes, the location of the Japanese logistics warehouse, and the logistics supply line. Of course, it also includes the locations of the Japanese headquarters at all levels in Wuhan, and who are the commanders and leaders of various agencies."
After she said so much in one breath, Wei Dingbo lowered his head and smiled. He could actually see that Feng Yaqing and her partner were equally nervous.
She took care of Wei Dingbo's emotions, but she was worried that Wei Dingbo would underestimate her, so her comments just now also meant to reflect her abilities.
Wei Dingbo naturally would not expose her little thoughts. After nodding to show that he remembered everything, he asked, "Why don't you see the child?"
"Send it to school accommodation, and I will only be picked up every week after holiday." Feng Yaqing said.
She has to work to maintain her life to protect her identity, and is also responsible for the organization's intelligence work. She has no ability to take care of her children's clones, and living in the school can solve this problem.
"What job do you do?" Wei Dingbo really didn't know, and the information provided by the organization was not recorded.
The reason is that he and Feng Yaqing have not seen each other for many years, so you can't know what job she is doing now, so it's more real if you don't write it in the newspaper.
"Sell things at the counter of the department store." Feng Yaqing is doing sales.
"If you are busy in the future, I will cook." Although it is an organizational arrangement, it is not easy to eat and drink for nothing, and I always feel awkward.
"Your mission..." Feng Yaqing was inconvenient to ask, but she was afraid of delaying the main business.
"I know it in my heart, you don't have to worry."
"I don't doubt your ability. If I have anything to do, just tell me."
"I won't be polite if I need it."
"You are not the same as I imagined." Feng Yaqing's bright eyes shone even more under the light.
"What do you think I am?"
"Young and capable, deeply trusted by the organization, have your own ideas and opinions..."
"Actually, what you want to say is that you are frivolous and not listening to others' advice, it is difficult to get along with."
