Forty Is an Old Friend

"Don't say thank you for your kindness, I, Wu Boda, will accept this love!"

Wu Boda did not reject this bowl of snake soup. He knew how much he needed a bowl of hot snake soup to supplement his nutrition. He had to endure it until the day he saw the dawn!

Shen Jiaxing sighed and said, "No matter what our group did in the past, now that we are in trouble, we have to look to each other and help each other. Brother, you are the oldest and the most knowledgeable in our group. , is our backbone, you must persevere!"

His remarks were half sincere and half flattering. When it came to Wu Boda's heart, his face was also moved, and he said firmly: "Don't worry, I, Wu Boda, could not kill even a devil of R country by himself. It's on!"

"Brother is a real hero, I will honor my brother with soup instead of wine!" Shen Jiaxing raised the bowl sincerely, he always admired the hero who defended against foreign enemies.

The others also raised their bowls respectfully. Wu Boda was not pretentious. He touched the glass and drank a big mouthful of soup. His whole body felt very comfortable.

Shen Jiao had heard Shen Jiaxing talk about her experience in the R country's military police before, but now she heard Wu Boda mention R country again, she couldn't help but hate: "Japanese people are the most hateful, God should accept such savages!"

In the previous life, the Shen family had a lot of maritime trade, and the Japanese pirates often rioted at sea, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. The Shen family's merchant ships were also robbed by the Japanese robbers. Even Shen Jiao's seventh uncle died tragically at the hands of the Japanese robbers. Couldn't get it back.

Seventh Uncle was Grandpa's favorite son, and he was also the most capable of doing business in the Shen family. When Seventh Uncle died, Shen Jiao was only ten years old, so she didn't know much about it. She only knew that Grandpa was very sad at that time and lost her hair overnight. It's almost half white.

Not long after that, my grandfather donated a large amount of military salaries to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would send troops to eliminate the Japanese pirates, but the wise grandfather, who had always been a wise man, made such an unwise decision because of the loss of his son, which brought destruction to the Shen family. disaster.

Grandpa donated too much military salaries, so much that the emperor was tempted. After the Japanese pirates were eliminated, the disaster for the Shen family also began.

For this reason, Grandpa was extremely remorseful during the years of exile. He always said that he had harmed the entire Shen family. Shen Jiao felt that, in addition to the loss of her fourth uncle, her grandfather's death also had a lot of guilt for the family. big factor.

Shen Jiao was caught up in her memories, not noticing that everyone was looking at her strangely, Gu Chen asked, "Why is Jiaojiao so fascinated?"

"what?"

Shen Jiao woke up and hurriedly made an excuse: "I just remembered what my grandfather told me before about the Japanese people taking him to the gendarmerie. The Japanese people are the worst!"

The little girl gritted her teeth and looked like she was going to devour R country's people alive, which made everyone amused. Wu Boda said in surprise: "What are the people of R country doing to arrest the family?"

Shen Jiaxing smiled heartily: "Our Shen family made a fortune in the business of medicinal materials, and we have a few ancient recipes in our hands. People from R country didn't know where they came from, so they figured out how to get me to the gendarmerie. They locked me up for about ten days, and asked me for ancient recipes, how could I give them?

The big guy laughed, and Gu Chen asked, "People from R country can't find out Uncle Shen that your recipe is fake?"

Shen Jiaxing blinked slyly, and said proudly: "Do you really think that I am just writing a recipe? There is also a lot of attention to falsification. Nine times out of ten, it is true, and it is only one or two points of falsehood. Change a few medicines, and write the wrong amount for the amount, even if the people of R country have studied for a hundred years, they will not be able to study the true or false!"

"Hahaha, Uncle Shen really has you!" Gu Chen gave Shen Jiaxing a thumbs up, admiring him immensely.

Wu Boda suddenly asked, "Do brothers Jiaxing know someone from Xingjiasen?"

Shen Jiaxing was stunned for a while, then suddenly became awkward, and Ai Ai said, "That person is me, and I reversed Shen Jiaxing's name.

"

Wu Boda stood up excitedly, hugged Shen Jiaxing and shouted, "I found you, Brother Jiaxing, I've been looking for you for more than 20 years!"

The big furniture is all confused, where is the trouble?

Wu Boda rambled and said: "Brother Jiaxing, you don't know, the few trucks of medicine you donated in 1942 can be regarded as a big help for us, saving many brothers! After liberation, I looked for this man named Xing Jiasen everywhere. He was a kind-hearted person, but he got nothing, I didn't expect it to be Brother Jiaxing!"

Shen Jiaxing laughed and said, "The people of R country were too strict in those days, how dare I use my real name!"

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that there is such a source in it!

Because of this relationship, the relationship between Wu Boda and Shen Jiaxing is even more profound, to the point of trusting each other, Shen Jiaxing secretly rejoices, fortunately twenty years ago, his brain became hot for a while!

Speaking of which, Shen Jiaxing was a real businessman, with no party or sect, and never got involved in politics. The reason why he donated a few cartons of medicinal materials in 1942 was also influenced by a progressive person at that time. The progressive person was his niece. The eldest niece of the elder brother is very fond of politics. Although she was only a college student at the time, she was very active. Every time the students made troubles, there was a shadow of this niece.

The eldest brother of the Shen family moved his family to the M country because the girl was too noisy, for fear of bringing disaster to the family, and because the current situation in country Z was too chaotic at that time.

At that time, he drank some old wine and was in a good mood, and then his niece's eloquence was really good. When his mind became dizzy, he donated a few cartons of medicine. He regretted it later, and now it seems that he still Thank you big niece!

In the next few days, Gu Chen, Wu Boda and the others all ate at Shen's house. Shen Jiao would sometimes stew some soup, or cook some vegetable porridge and rice, add a few slices of sausage to it, and cut some potatoes and cabbage. It's fragrant and everyone loves it.

On the fifth day of coming here, that is, on October 25, 1966, Shen Jiaxing's rations were handed out. One person was 25 catties of grain. There were many kinds of grain, including sorghum, soybean, cornmeal, etc., all of which were coarse grains. , Refined grains are not one or two.

Fortunately, the vegetable farm has enough control, but there are only three kinds of cabbage, potatoes and radishes, all of which are two cents per pound. If you want to eat them, you can buy them from the lame man.

As soon as Gu Chen and Qian Wenliang's food was distributed, they all took it to the Shen's house. During this time, everyone was eating together, and they were already the same family. Moreover, they not only took the food, but also the money and other tickets on their bodies. All handed in, said to be living expenses.

These people have quite a lot of money, especially Gu Chen. The money alone has several hundred yuan, and Qian Wenliang also has more than one hundred yuan. Shen Jiaxing didn't ask for all of them, so he just charged ten yuan for one person. The rest were put away by them.

He didn't let these people come to eat at home for money!

Five days have passed, and everyone has gradually gotten used to the life on the farm. They no longer have a bitter face all day, with a slight smile on their faces, and they have some expectations for the future in their eyes!
