Jin Xiaoai, who was sitting in the carriage, was the most proud person today, because Li Qinglin actually risked his own life and went to her store in the enemy-occupied area to "have a look".
¡°For some time, Liang Xixian has been putting pressure on Chenjiazhuang under the pretext of unifying the purchase and sale of grain, cotton and oil. Liang Xixian¡¯s first target was Jin Xiaoai. Liang Xixian has logged in several times to find Jin Xiaoai. He claimed that Jin Xiaoai¡¯s grain, oil and dry goods store transported local grain, cotton and oil to enemy-occupied areas. Under the current general situation of the national war of resistance, Jin Xiaoai was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. . []
Of course, Liang Xixian said this was not his purpose. He finally proposed that Jin Xiaoai withdraw from the shares. These stores will be fully owned by the ninth detachment, that is, himself.
During the conversation, Jin Xiaoai also discovered a problem, and that was Liang Xixian¡¯s lustful eyes. Liang Xixian wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. During the process of applying pressure, his eyes behind the glasses were unscrupulous, and his eyes kept scanning Jin Xiaoai's face and chest.
As a mature woman, Jin Xiaoai naturally knows the meaning of his eyes. But as an adult*snv, Jin Xiaoai resents this kind of bullying the most. In order to protect her hard-won interests, Jin Xiaoai thought of Li Qinglin. She believed that only a powerful figure like Li Qinglin could repel Liang Xixian.
While Jin Xiaoai was under pressure from Liang Xixian, Chen Jinbao and Wang Yin¨¡ were also under pressure from Liang Xixian. Several people discussed together that Chenjiazhuang can only be protected from Liang Xixian's oppression if it is protected by Li Qinglin.
The owners of Chenjiazhai, especially Jin Xiaoai and Wang Yin¨¡, are the most worried. At present, they are the owners in name. As long as the shop or village in their hands is taken away by Liang Xixian, they will have nothing in their hands. Living in a wealthy family, they know very well what the final outcome will be for a widow who has nothing in her hands and leaves no descendants for her old master. In order to protect their own interests, they have to turn to more powerful men.
Jin Xiaoai is not worried about the food in the shops in Sangyu Town and Chenjiazhuang. After all, these are right under Li Qinglin's nose. With the friendship between the Chen family and Li Qinglin, Liang Xixian will also be on guard and will not dare to do anything outrageous blatantly. , what Jin Xiaoai is most worried about is actually the two shops in the enemy-occupied area. If Liang Xixian really used his men to attack these two stores, Jin Xiaoai really had no means to stop him.
Now, Li Qinglin has come forward in person, and even went to the enemy-occupied areas to "take a look" in person. Jin Xiaoai didn't know why Li Qinglin went there in person, but she knew in her heart that there was no danger in her stores. This of course made her very happy.
At this time, Li Qinglin was sitting in front, happily waving his whip to drive the car. Jin Xiaoai felt very sorry. She opened the front curtain of the car and said: "Chief Li, how can I let you drive the car? I have already hired someone. We¡¯ve got to catch the bus, you¡¯d better get in.¡±
Li Qinglin chuckled and said: "You think riding in a car is comfortable, but I also think driving a car is comfortable. You don't know, I was a driver before I joined the army. I even drove a car through Tianjin back then."
The coachman said: "If I hadn't known that you were a commander, I would have thought that you were an expert in this business."
Li Qinglin laughed and said: "You are right to say that I am an old-timer, but what I am eating now is a big pot of rice, and I am eating military rations with my head in my head."
The double-coil cart only pulled three people. The cart ran very fast. In the middle of the morning, we took a taxi and arrived at a checkpoint set up by the puppet army.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????: There is a buffer zone where the two armies confront each other. Going further inside is the opponent's occupied area. There are usually checkpoints set up at this location. Because it has entered a stalemate stage, there are exchanges of personnel and materials on both sides, and both armies realize that this exchange is necessary for their own sides, so this exchange has never been interrupted.
Things are so strange now. Both sides are trying every means to kill the other, but they are economically interdependent. Both sides have an agreement that they recognize documents issued by the other party's local security corps or village protection corps and other civilian armed forces. As long as business people do not carry weapons and have such certificates in their hands, they can pass strict inspections. Merchants can travel freely on each other's territory.
As the third wife of Chenjiazhai and the major shareholder of Shuizhi Grain and Oil Store, Jin Xiaoai has proof on both sides, and Li Qinglin and the others passed the test smoothly after inspection.
After passing the checkpoint, the rest of the journey was smoother. Although there were still a few hooligans from the village protection team and self-defense force interrogating along the way, Jin Xiaoai's identity was enough to suppress them.
The mule cart moved forward happily, and it was almost time for lunch. Li Qinglin and the othersFinally arrived at Shuizhi Town.
Because it is an important town on the front line of the confrontation with the Kuomintang and the Eighth Route Army, Shuizhi is basically a large military camp. Currently, Japanese troops, puppet troops, as well as some detective teams, security teams and other armed forces are stationed, and ordinary people have become a minority. Therefore, Jin Xiaoai's grain and oil store is located next to a puppet army camp. The daily business is to provide grain and oil supplies to these puppet troops. The bulk of the business is to adjust grain from Chenjiazhai and then sell it out during the harvest season.
When the landlady came, the shopkeeper naturally served fragrant tea, and the shopkeeper brought the account book and reported the accounts to the boss.
Li Qinglin didn¡¯t know if Jin Xiaoai had read books, but he only knew that Jin Xiaoai was born in a merchant family. During the process of the shopkeeper's account report, Jin Xiaoai listened attentively, but she was not just showing off, but asked a few questions from time to time. Li Qinglin was not very familiar with this kind of grain, oil and dry goods business, but it could be seen from the shopkeeper's nervous face that Jin Xiaoai's words were on point.
Li Qinglin had lunch in the shop. Although Chief Ma was doing protection work for Li Qinglin, they just stayed outside and would never follow him. During the meal, Li Qinglin, who was dressed in short clothes, was allowed to sit at the table by Jin Xiaoai. This surprised the shopkeeper, but as a hired shopkeeper, he did not dare to ask more questions.
After lunch, Li Qinglin had been driving for a long time in the morning. He wanted to take a rest, but Jin Xiaoai was unwilling to stay in the house. She asked Li Qinglin to accompany her to go shopping.
Shuizhi is an enemy-occupied area, and the current enemy-occupied areas are basically industrially developed areas. As an important town, Shuizhi naturally has many more foreign goods than the rural town of Sangyu Town. Women are naturally fond of green items, and Jin Xiaoai is no exception. Before coming to treat the water, Jin Xiaoai had already planned that she would make a big purchase this time.
Shopping with a woman is a very tiring thing in itself. Li Qinglin wanted to reject Jin Xiaoai, but when he saw Jin Xiaoai's expectant eyes and her enthusiastic mood, Li Qinglin softened his heart and accompanied her to the hotel. down the street.
Compared with Wan'an County, Shuizhi is extremely small, but compared with Sangyu Town, Shuizhi is much more prosperous.
After the Japanese army came, many people in the town fled. Shuizhi Town had a main street with various shops on both sides, selling a variety of goods. On both sides of the street, there are many stall owners with small stalls, and the things on the stalls are even more colorful.
Rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry, and cloth clothes are the favorites of women. Jin Xiaoai went to one shop after another and bought more and more things. Naturally, if there were too many things, someone would need to carry them. Li Qinglin, who was dressed in short clothes, naturally became the follower of the things behind the woman.
¡°It¡¯s probably because I haven¡¯t been out shopping for a long time. Maybe the goods in Shuizhi are indeed better than those in Sangyu Town. Jin Xiaoai is simply cleaning the streets today. Naturally, she would go into a slightly larger store one at a time. Whatever she liked in the store, she would basically buy it after a little bargaining. In this way, Li Qinglin, who was following her as a follower, would be miserable. . All he was carrying, holding in his arms, and hanging on his shoulders were all kinds of boxes and baggage. Because there were so many things, Li Qinglin was even cautious when walking, for fear of bumping into pedestrians.
Li Qinglin finally couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Jin Xiaoai was still happily preparing to continue shopping, Li Qinglin couldn't help but begged: "Girl n¨£i*n¨£i, you see I can't even take it. You have had enough of shopping today. I think let¡¯s forget it for today, let¡¯s buy it next time, okay?¡±
Jin Xiaoai looked at Li Qinglin and said with a smile: "For the sake of going shopping with me today, I will spare you today."
Li Qinglin was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, thank you very much!"
Unexpectedly, Jin Xiaoai didn¡¯t finish her words. She said with a smile: ¡°But, I bought so many things today, but I haven¡¯t bought the most important thing yet. Let¡¯s go back after buying these things.¡±
Jin Xiaoai still wanted to buy something, so Li Qinglin had no other choice but to say: "Girl n¨£i*n¨£i, we have agreed that you can only buy this."
While talking, the two walked to a shop called "Yue Rongxuan". Jin Xiaoai raised her head and stepped into the shop. Li Qinglin, who was holding various items in his hands, stood at the entrance of the shop and looked inside. It turned out that this was a shop selling rouge, gouache, and jewelry thread. The shop owner was a woman, and there were already several customers inside. Of course, these customers also They are all nv¡¯s.
These women were chatting together. They seemed to be bargaining with the landlady. Li Qinglin felt that it was inconvenient for him, a grown man, to enter a store like this, so he decided not to go in.
It is now afternoon. Although the autumn sun is not as harsh as summer, it is still enough to stand in the sun for a long time. Li Qinglin saw a large shady place under the shop opposite., so he carried and carried a lot of messy things to the other side of the street. When he reached the shade, Li Qinglin put down the things in his hands. He waited in the shade for Jin Xiaoai to finish shopping.
In fact, Li Qinglin and Jin Xiaoai were not the only two people on this purchasing trip. Captain Ma Un, who was responsible for the escort mission, and several members of the intelligence team were also following them. Li Qinglin was resting in the shade, and those few people were far away. Watching from a distance.
Just when Li Qinglin was enjoying the shade, a middle-aged woman came out from behind him. She grabbed Li Qinglin and said in an extremely affectionate tone: "This little brother, why don't you come in when you reach my entrance?" Where are you sitting? It¡¯s such a hot day, come in quickly and have a cup of fragrant tea.¡±
While the woman was talking, she pulled Li Qinglin in hard.
