I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Wei Miao and the others walked forward and passed by Grandma Cui's scallion pancake stall.

A woman in a cheongsam sat lazily on the armchair that Cui Aiping often sat on, and said to Grandma Cui in a coquettish tone:

"Mom, I want to have a bowl of wontons."

Granny Cui said hello to Wei Miao and hurried over to Xiao Jiangsu to ask for wontons.

"Less lard, more chopped green onions."

Little Jiangsu stretched his neck to look at Grandma Cui's scallion pancake stall and said with a warm smile:

"Grandma, it's Lijuan who's back!"

Grandma Cui nodded with a happy smile, staring at the wontons in the pot, wishing they would be ready right now.

On the way, Wei Ling asked Wei Miao, "Brother, is that cheongsam lady the old daughter of Grandma Cui?"

Wei Li said in a yearning voice: "Grandma Cui really loves her."

Wei Ran snorted coldly, "I think Big Mom loves us too."

Wei Li's eyes instantly turned red, as she was the most beautiful girl in the family.

Now she eats well and has grown taller. She looks incredibly beautiful in the new clothes made by Xu Ayu.

Wei Ling was like a wild maid beside a young lady in distress.

Wei Ran looked at his sister's pitiful appearance and wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he felt awkward.

Wei Miao and Wei Ling looked at each other. They really had no way to comfort each other about this matter.

Ever since Second Aunt remarried and took the family property, she has never come back again, and never even said a word to anyone.

Wei Ling suddenly asked, "I heard from Aunt Xiu that little Jiangsu fell in love with Grandma Cui's daughter."

Wei Ran and Wei Li opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with disbelief. Wei Ran said:

"Doesn't that mean little Nanjing will have a stepmother?"

Wei Ling spoke like a little adult:

"But Aunt Xiu said that Sister Lijuan went to a foreign school, has good looks and a proud personality. How could she fall in love with a widower who has a child, a bad temper and is stingy?"

Although Wei Ran and Wei Li didn't understand, they nodded in agreement.

Wei Miao knocked Wei Ling on the head and said, "Don't listen to these nonsense in the future. Even if you do listen to them, don't talk nonsense outside."

Wei Ling pouted and covered her head, protesting: "Brother, you are not outsiders."

"Then don't talk nonsense." Wei Miao hit Wei Ling again, making her jump.

Wei Ran and Wei Li covered their mouths and laughed.

Wei Miao first went to the Chinese medicine shop and bought some medicinal materials according to the braised pork recipe written by Lu Pingsheng.

Then he took them to the largest vegetable market nearby.

Pukou Vegetable Market was built forty years ago and was once the earliest and largest indoor vegetable market in Shen City.

Vegetables are sold on the first floor, fish and meat are sold on the second floor, and various snacks and desserts are sold on the third floor. The management categories are very clear.

There are thousands of stalls of various kinds, the goods are displayed densely and neatly, and the stalls are spaced apart in an orderly manner. At first glance, it looks extremely fashionable.

It’s just far away from the alley. Xu Ayu and the aunties in Duduo alley only come here when they do big shopping.

Every time he went back, Xu Ayu would talk endlessly about whose dishes were the freshest.

Which entrance gives the most sufficient content? The fun and experience found in the careful selection are naturally what I want to share with my children.

"Brother, why do we have to buy pig offal?"

Wei Ran was holding a pair of pig intestines, and his brows were furrowed at the smell, looking very disgusted.

Wei Ling and Wei Li were also carrying various internal organs in their hands. Wei Miao did not stop until he had bought the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

After spending money to buy four pig's trotters, onions, ginger, garlic, rice wine, rock sugar and various ingredients, the four of them left the market and prepared to go home.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The sound was accompanied by gunshots.

Wei Miao was startled and looked around, and suddenly his eyes fell on a black car on the road at the door.

"Run toward the car."

Wei Ling pulled the still dazed Wei Li and ran towards the black car. Because they were nervous, the pig intestines they had just bought fell to the ground, and Wei Ran turned around to pick them up.

"Don't worry."

Wei Miao's tone was stern.

Wei Ran withdrew his hand, ran to the side door of the black car and squatted down.

The market was in chaos both inside and outside due to gunfire, and the crowd began to scream and run.

Wei Miao and many others followed suit. Suddenly, he felt something moving in his cloth bag. When he turned around, he saw a young man in his twenties being pinned to the ground by three men in top hats.

The man's face was pressed against the ground, his skin was rubbed raw and blood was oozing out.

His eyes were filled with determination and expectation, and he opened his mouth and shouted:

"For national independence, we will never look back. Long live!"

"bump"

Wei Miao looked at the blood blooming on his back with a hint of shock in his mind.

Especially those eyes full of hope, staring straight in her direction, as if telling something silently.

When the sharp whistle sounded, the men in black who were holding the young man down also left quickly.

The police came and dragged the body away. The blood moved along with his body, leaving a long trail of blood.

The people around pointed and talked in low voices, then turned around and left, going about their own business.

Wei Miao suddenly remembered that there was a family renting a house in the alley who had fled from the northeast and they had the habit of eating dog meat.

The family had a tall and strong stupid son who loved to catch and kill stray dogs on the street. Every time he succeeded, he liked to drag the dogs around the alley to show off.

Later, he was bitten by a mad dog on the street and went insane within two days. His father was so angry that he searched for him for three days and killed the mad dog. He was also bitten and died of madness.

From then on, no one in the more than ten alleys in that area ate dog meat anymore.

But children of Wei Miao's age all remembered the long bloody marks left by the dog when it was dragged back and forth by a big fool and still breathing, showing off.

At the same time, in a grocery room on the third floor of the vegetable market.

Lu Pingsheng sat down weakly with his back against the window, sweat streaming down his forehead, and his whole body shaking with fear and sadness.

He killed someone, the first time he killed someone, his own comrade.

Lu Pingsheng listened to him shouting slogans at the top of his lungs, and fired the gun while suppressing his grief.

After he fired the shot, he watched the bullet penetrate Lao Zhao's back and enter his heart. He only stopped after large pools of blood spread out.

His comrades, comrades whose names he didn't know, comrades he had only met once, died at the hands of his gun.

Where he came from, whose son he was, or who his father was, Lu Pingsheng had no idea.

For the first time in his life, Lu Ping felt the cruelty of the awakening age.

In this mixed Shanghai, the French Concession Police Station, the British, Americans and Japanese in the International Settlement, and the Nanjing Government in the Chinese community are all setting up a dragnet to wipe out their comrades.

He cannot admit defeat, he wants to become a spark. He carries with him the experience of future generations and possesses the golden finger bestowed upon him by heaven. He wants to help this nation avoid detours, ride the wind and waves, and move forward!

Lupin beat his heart again and again, tears streaming down his face, and hummed tunelessly:

"Rise up, slaves who are starving and cold! Rise up, suffering people all over the world! Your blood is boiling, and you must fight for the truth." (Note 1)

After his emotions gradually calmed down, he roughly wiped the tears from his face and began to review what had just happened.

Since the contact person chose to sacrifice himself, the information must not be with him. He had obtained this information with great effort.

The liaison officer Zhu Yan was arrested. If he surrendered to the enemy, it would affect the safety of the underground organization's top leader.

If it is not spread, the intelligence network that has been rebuilt with great difficulty will be destroyed again.

He only has this one contact person, and if he dies, he will be like a kite with a broken string.

Lu Pingsheng put his hands into his hair, his mind racing to no avail.

In such a vast sea of ​​people, where could he go to find other people in the organization?
