Chapter 239: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Although Lu Pingsheng had expected this, after listening to what Wei Miao said, he was still worried, but finally he calmed down.
"You are very lucky. You met a soldier from Osaka." Lu Pingsheng couldn't help but feel that Wei Miao was a bit lucky.
After hearing this, Wei Miao looked at Lu Pingsheng with his slender eyes in an ambiguous manner, then moved closer to him.
Lu Pingsheng thought she was scared, so he raised his hand and rubbed her head.
"You know, not everyone likes war. There are also Japanese who like peace, or who are greedy for money."
Wei Miao thought that war was all about redistributing resources. Fighting was all about interests. What were interests? Money was the embodiment of interests.
"So the Osaka soldiers are greedy for money?"
Lu Pingsheng couldn't help laughing when he thought of the reports in later generations. The Japanese troops were not only brave and loyal, but also "scum" like the Osaka Division.
The people in this division are not warlike and like to negotiate, and they have a bit of a middle-of-the-road approach where everyone is happy.
During the war, they resold arms and equipment, pretended to be sick and didn't go to the battlefield, and got food poisoning to avoid the war. These were all their glorious achievements.
The people of the Osaka Division like money, love doing business, and are fair in their prices, never cheating anyone.
Moreover, as people who come from prosperous commercial cities, they don't have any "T Emperor" or "holy war" in their hearts. In their opinion, if your price is right, "T Emperor" can also be clearly marked.
That is why after the Japanese surrendered, other troops were pale and thin, like refugees, while the people of the Osaka Division were fat and strong, with rosy faces. The most important thing was that the combat attrition rate was terribly low.
After listening to this, Wei Miao seemed to be thinking about something. "Hearing you say that, I think I like them very much."
Damn, he's praising his enemies.
No, Wei Miao, this young and promising child cannot be raised in a wrong way.
If Wei Miao knew Lu Pingsheng's wishful thinking, he would definitely laugh to his heart's content.
Who is she? She is an ancient ferocious beast. How could she be changed so easily?
When she does things, she only considers whether it meets her standards and makes her happy.
Lu Pingsheng naturally had no idea what the kid was thinking about, he only thought about his own troubles.
After Xu Manhua successfully assassinated Ichiro Hirata, this matter became dispensable to him.
Given his current situation, the best plan is to do nothing.
Unfortunately, someone came from Jinling last night.
He personally expressed Director Xu's attention to the matter, and implicitly indicated that someone above him also wanted to get involved.
Lu Pingsheng secretly thought that this task, which did not even require a telegram to be sent, was indeed very important.
Wei Miao didn't know what Lu Pingsheng was thinking, but told him her plan.
"When I left last night, I heard those Japanese say that this matter must be investigated thoroughly, and the things on the train will be shipped directly to the dock tonight."
Lu Pingsheng worked in the General Administration of Customs, so he naturally knew which dock they were talking about.
"Don't say anything yet, I'll call Uncle Zeng Bao over." Lu Pingsheng interrupted Wei Miao and turned around to make a phone call.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door and Wei Miao ran to open it.
I saw a young man in uniform, holding a tray with three large bowls of wontons on it. The wontons were steaming and had bright green chopped green onions.
"Brother Nanjing." Wei Miao exclaimed in surprise.
Except for the time at the train station a few days ago, she hadn't seen Xiao Nanjing for a long time.
Little Nanjing brought the wontons into the yard and placed them on the stone table. She felt a little shy when Wei Miao looked at her.
"Ah Miao, why are you looking at me like that?"
Wei Miao shook his head and said, "In the blink of an eye, Brother Nanjing has become a handsome patrolman like Brother Wu."
Before Xiao Nanjing could say anything, he heard Lu Pingsheng shouting in the living room, "Wu Ziyang is here?"
When I stepped out, I found that the person wearing the uniform was Xiao Nanjing.
He walked up quickly and patted Little Nanjing on the shoulder, "Good boy, you are getting better and better."
Little Nanjing was teased repeatedly and felt a little uncomfortable, but he hadn't seen Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao for a long time and was reluctant to leave.
I could only stand there with red face and ears, letting the big and small make fun of me.
Fortunately, Wei Miao's attention quickly fell on the wontons. He ate the delicious wontons in big mouthfuls and exclaimed:
"Brother Nanjing, your father's cooking skills are well-known in the entire foreign land."
After hearing this, Little Nanjing smiled with some pride, "That's right."
Seeing his proud look, Lu Pingsheng said with interest: "You were so proud of these compliments in the past."
Little Nanjing was embarrassed, "People have to grow up. Now I go out to work, and I understand the hardship of raising a family by being humble."
Lu Pingsheng was very pleased to hear this. "The train station is under your jurisdiction, right? Is it still closed?"
Little Nanjing shook his head, "Today we have all withdrawn, and the Japanese garrison has started to take over directly."
Lu Pingsheng stopped talking about this and started to ask about how he was doing in the police station.
"They knew I was recommended by Inspector Wang, so they were all very polite to me."
Speaking of this, little Nanjing looked at Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao with gratitude.
In the past, his world was very small, consisting of only this alley, and he felt that being beaten, scolded and despised by his parents was the most upsetting thing in the world.
Now that I'm out there, I know what it means to be cautious in what I say and do, and I admire Wei Miao even more for making a living outside at such a young age.
"I heard that Wang Sanqiang is going to marry a new wife?" Lu Pingsheng asked.
Xiao Nanjing nodded. "Everyone in the bureau is talking about it. He has won the favor of an American and married an American woman. Although she is older, she has quite a background."
No matter where you are, there is always this kind of gossip, which can spread quickly.
Wang Sanqiang married the sister of his immediate boss who had been widowed for many years. It was said that they hit it off at first sight at a dance and fell in love, which became a popular story.
Wei Miao curled his lips. Humans are the most hypocritical. It is clearly an exchange of interests, but they wear the gorgeous clothes of love.
She suddenly recalled the Jiangnan tune that Lin Zi'e sang with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth on the day of Wu Ziyang's wedding.
How long has it been?
"Why are you sighing?" Lu Pingsheng turned his head to see Wei Miaoxiao, who was frowning and looking unhappy.
Wei Miao did not hide his true feelings and complained:
"A few months ago, he was still hugging his deceased wife and crying his heart out, but today he is going to marry a beautiful bride? Humans are so fickle."
Lu Pingsheng smiled and said, "Then he will be getting married next month, do you want to go?"
"Go!" Wei Miao answered without any hesitation.
Lu Pingsheng mocked her, "It sounds like you are fickle."
Wei Miao was too lazy to argue with him. Compared with an insignificant person, having a full stomach was naturally the most important thing for her.
He ate two large bowls of wontons while muttering, and seeing that the food in front of Lu Pingsheng was untouched, he asked:
"Would you like to eat?"
Lu Pingsheng glanced at her sideways, took a sip of the soup from the bowl under Wei Miao's eager gaze, "Delicious."
