Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

After Li's father went to the army, Lao Yang accompanied Li's mother and Li Yuping to chat in the living room, and soon the topic of Lao Yang and Li Yuping's marriage came up. So Lao Yang had to face this issue and told Li's mother his thoughts.

He planned to take Li Yuping to Hong Kong to get a marriage certificate, and the wedding could be held in the mainland. Li Yuping listened to the conversation and expressed that she did not want to get married, so she stayed in the country and let Lao Yang keep an eye on Xingbang Company. If she got married, she would definitely encounter many problems, and she might even have to leave the company. As long as Lao Yang treated her well, she was willing to get married or not.

Li's mother also heard that Lao Yang had more than one wife, which was not allowed by current domestic policies. Although she felt sorry for her daughter, she was powerless and did not want to break up her daughter's happiness. But after all, they all came from that era, and having three wives and four concubines was still acceptable. Although the policy does not allow it, it is okay to do it openly!

Then he talked about the Golden City, saying that the Huang family was ready. They were going to invite Lao Yang to their home this week, and it was scheduled for Saturday. Then he would ask Li Yuping to take Lao Yang directly to the Huang family's villa. He also told him some information about the Huang family and what to pay attention to after going there.

The three chatted in the living room, and soon it was time to get off work. Li's mother insisted on keeping Lao Yang and Li Yuping at home for dinner, but Lao Yang was worried that someone would ask him for fish today, and it was too late to arrange it. So he left a note for Li's mother, asking her to pass it to Li's father. If Li's father had not returned by 8 o'clock in the evening, she should call and tell him the contents of the note. After saying goodbye to Li Yuping, Li's mother drove away from the compound.

As soon as I returned to the slum, I saw Ma Yu squatting in front of the door. In order to avoid suspicion, Ma Yu squatted at the door and did not enter the house.

The recent frequent acquisition of large quantities of marine fish by the General Logistics Department has attracted the attention of several large meat processing factories in Kyoto. Several factories want to purchase large quantities of fish meat to make canned and dried fish for long-term storage. If the fish transported are freely available to the public, there will be no surplus fish meat for the processing factories to use.

Therefore, the General Logistics Department could only increase the purchase volume, hoping that Lao Yang could provide more fish meat. As an errand boy, Ma Yu was sent to contact Lao Yang to see if another deal could be made tonight.

Old Yang knew this would happen. So he told Ma Yu to tell Ma Siye that there were only 300 tons of sea fish left. No more sea fish would be shipped in the near future, so the transaction could only be suspended and resumed when the goods arrived.

When Ma Yu heard this, he immediately felt that the matter was serious. He did not dare to delay and hurriedly rode his bicycle back to report the news.

There are two reasons why Lao Yang did this. One is that blindly satisfying others will increase their greed and lack of appreciation, which will lead to waste and corruption over time. Another reason is that Lao Yang is too lazy to catch marine fish anymore. It is too inconvenient to not be able to store living things in the space. If he wants to catch large fish such as whales and sharks, it is okay, but this large number of miscellaneous fish is completely unsuitable for him to catch.

Lao Yang decided to steal and rob fish from the cold storages in fishing ports of major coastal fishing countries such as Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States. It was simple and clear. He just needed to find a few fixed locations and collect the fish once in a while. It was always faster than going out to sea to fish himself.

Old Yang accompanied the two girls to a sumptuous dinner at home. The three of them sat at the table drinking tea and watching TV. Li Yuping and Zhao Jingyi sat together, chattering about what happened this afternoon, and told Zhao Jingyi that she was going to visit her uncle's house this Saturday, with a very proud look on her face. Unfortunately, Zhao Jingyi ignored her, which made her feel very proud.

At around 8:00 p.m., Lao Yang got up and said goodbye to the two girls. He left the courtyard, took out his bicycle, and rode away, heading toward the western suburbs of the city. When he reached an uninhabited area, he put away his bicycle, switched to the Feilong, and quickly headed for the Bohai Sea. While flying, he took out a sextant and began to fiddle with it.

Soon, Lao Yang arrived over the Bohai Sea. After landing on the sea, he took out a fishing boat, placed the sextant on the fishing boat and began to fiddle with it according to the instructions. He soon measured a set of data. Although it was not very accurate, it was at least a reference. He began to move towards the target coordinates according to this coordinate. After 20 minutes of adjustment, he finally determined a relatively accurate longitude and latitude, which should be close to the actual error.

Releasing the destroyer in the space immediately caused fluctuations on the sea surface. The waves quickly spread to the distance and were slowly smoothed out.

Lao Yang boarded the "Broad Sword" and lowered the anchor into the sea, and threw out two modified Japanese fishing boats not far from the warship. The cables of the two fishing boats were fixed to the "Broad Sword" respectively, and a high-wattage light bulb was taken out from the space, installed on the top of the warship, and connected to the power supply to become a sea lighthouse. As long as it appeared within 10 nautical miles nearby, the warship could be found.

After finishing everything, Lao Yang ascended to high altitude and found that there was a warship on the southeast sea more than 50 nautical miles away from the destroyer, heading in this direction. It seemed that the navy's reception personnel had arrived. It was estimated that it would take another two hours to arrive, and Lao Yang would definitely not wait here foolishly.

Lao Yang circled around in the air and felt relieved when he found no other ships sailing on the sea. He accelerated back to Kyoto, landed on Jingshan Mountain, went down to the foot of the mountain, took out a bicycle and rushed to Ma Siye's lair.

At Ma Siye's house, Lao Yang met Ma Siye and Li Zhenxiao. When they heard that Lao Yang was coming, they hurried to the door to greet him, and they looked more friendly than if they had met their own father!

After the three of them entered the room and sat down, Li Zhenxiao raised the questions in his mind.

"Master Yang, are you leaving Kyoto? Did something big happen? Do you need my help?"

After Li Zhenxiao asked the question, he looked at Lao Yang eagerly, waiting for Lao Yang's answer.

"Why does Zhenxiao ask this?" Old Yang asked Li Zhenxiao with some confusion.

Li Zhenxiao's expression immediately relaxed, as if he had survived a disaster. He quickly explained to Lao Yang, "I was worried after Master Yang stopped trading sea fish! I wondered if Master Yang had other things to do and had to leave Kyoto, so he stopped trading fish."

Master Ma Si was also listening attentively, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Don't overthink it. That's not happening. I'm going to stay in Kyoto for a while. The main reason why I stopped the sea fish business is that it's not easy to transport sea fish. There's only so much that can be transported at one time, and a few transactions are already the limit. And the time it takes to go back and forth is not short. After selling them, we need a buffer period of time. Don't worry, we will still cooperate in this business, and it won't be terminated in a short time!"

Old Yang knew what Li Zhenxiao was worried about, so he pointed out the problem directly to him and reassured him.

After hearing Lao Yang's explanation, Li Zhenxiao immediately smiled with relief, and his heart was relieved. He began to mutter, "That's great! It's good to take a break. It's a good opportunity to sort out the relationship, review the gains, and lay a solid foundation for further cooperation."

"I still have 300 tons of sea fish. You can arrange a vehicle to transport them away. You will need to wait for a while after this. I will inform you when the fish will be transported here! Let's arrange it at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. Go and arrange it now, and complete the transaction at Jingshan Mountain in an hour."

Lao Yang told Li Zhenxiao about the mission he had come here for.

When Li Zhenxiao heard Lao Yang say this, he quickly got up and left to arrange a vehicle to pick up the goods.

After Ma Siye sent Li Zhenxiao back, Lao Yang said to him: "Your nephew Ma Yu is a good person, let him follow me in the future! He will be paid 50 yuan a month, and the money will come from you. All the proceeds from the recent sea fish transactions will be placed with you to build factories and houses, and those who make outstanding contributions will also be rewarded. You must take good care of it for me. I will rarely go to quality supervision, so I need your help. I only look at the final result. If you do it well, you will benefit a lot. If you fail, I can only hold you responsible. You do things for me. If one day you can't survive in China, I can send you abroad and give you a chance to survive!"

Hearing Old Yang's words, Ma Siye kowtowed to Old Yang in gratitude and said, "Thank you very much for taking care of me, Master Yang. From now on, if you have any requests, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

When Ma Siye stood up and sat back down, Lao Yang took out a checkbook from his pocket and wrote a new check for 50 yuan and handed it to Ma Siye. He said, "This money is used to build the factory. Contact me when it's all spent. You must ensure the quality. This is the third time I remind you. I will not remind you again after this. You take care of yourself!"

Old Yang stood up and walked out the door. Ma Siye hurriedly followed behind Old Wang and sent him out the door. After watching Old Yang go away, he turned back to the house, took the check and locked it in the cabinet before going to the wing room to rest with his wife. No matter how big the storm outside was, it had nothing to do with him!

Lao Yang rode his bicycle to the foot of Jingshan Mountain, found a secluded place, changed into military uniform, put on a mask and began to wait.

Not far from Lao Yang, two people were observing with infrared telescopes. They found Lao Yang when he entered Jingshan and kept watching him. They saw Lao Yang find a hidden corner, disguised and waiting there. The two people were also excited. They discovered an incredible secret and felt that their lives were about to reach their peak, and they would be promoted, get rich, and marry a beautiful and wealthy woman.

Although the two had infrared telescopes, their recognition rate of appearance was still very low. They could only see the general movements of people, but they could not see their specific appearance. After looking at each other, they slowly crawled towards Lao Yang's position, wanting to see Lao Yang's appearance clearly.

Lao Yang is very strong, but he is still just an ordinary person! Without the help of the system, it is impossible to monitor the surrounding environment in real time and warn of danger. It is also the two monitoring personnel who are asking for trouble and insist on knowing Lao Yang's face.

At first, Lao Yang didn't know someone was watching him. After all, in Lao Yang's mind, he had already warned the other party once, so the other party shouldn't continue to send people to search for him. As the two of them got closer, Lao Yang's sharp five senses discovered a flaw.

As soon as Lao Yang came, there was a bug making a slight noise nearby. Lao Yang was annoyed by it, but he didn't try to drive it away. But now the noise suddenly stopped. Lao Yang opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the bug. Although Lao Yang couldn't see in the dark, he could still make out two faint human figures lying on the ground.

Old Yang felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he exerted his strength with his legs to burst out at an extremely fast speed. He came to the two people who had not yet reacted, and knocked each of them unconscious with a punch. He picked up the two people and threw them to the side of the road, and then followed the direction they were crawling.

With Lao Yang's keen observation and high-intensity flashlight, he discovered something unusual under a tree and found a piece of paper with information written on it. He put the paper into the space and searched again, but stopped when he found no other clues.

Lao Yang returned to the two men, woke one of them up and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here to monitor this place so late at night?"

"What are you doing? Let me go. You are committing a crime. I will call the police to arrest you! You'd better let me go, or you will be in big trouble! Do you know who he is?! He is Mayor Li's son. Do you want to kidnap us? I tell you, don't dream on..."

After waking up, this person immediately started to talk nonsense, bragging about everything. He put himself in the position of a victim and pushed out a senior official to threaten Lao Yang. He is also a smart person with strong acting skills and adaptability.

Unfortunately, he met Lao Yang, a man who didn't need to follow the rules. Even if you were the mayor's son, he would ignore you. Anyone who disrespected him and threatened him was doomed to a tragic ending.

"Very good, your nonsense character is refreshing to me, but you didn't answer my question, which makes me very unhappy. I decided to take off one of your fingers as a punishment, are you willing?"

Although Lao Yang asked the other party for his opinion, he did not give him a chance to answer. He leaned over and tapped the other party's index finger with his index finger, only to see that the index finger instantly froze and lost consciousness. Lao Yang flicked it lightly, and a finger fell to the ground.

The man opened his eyes wide, looking at the finger that fell to the ground, and was extremely terrified. Lao Yang stepped lightly, and the severed finger turned into a pile of broken ice.

As time passed, the wound slowly regained consciousness. The severe pain made him unbearable, and he rolled on the ground. He screamed loudly, terrified, and completely collapsed when Lao Yang pointed his index finger at him again. He explained his identity clearly.

This man was called Li Mingju, and the one who fainted on the ground was called Liang Sicheng. Before liberation, the two had served in the puppet army and the national army. After liberation, the two and some soldiers who did not want to go home to farm joined some capitalists and bannermen, and became secret agents and thugs. Recently, the General Logistics Department got a lot of fish and meat, which attracted the attention of these old and young people and capitalists.

Although these people are not welcome, they all have their own connections. After getting some information, they learned that a mysterious person was behind the scenes and it was not an official channel, so they all wanted to get involved. However, they could not get any information about the mysterious person, so they could only send their own secret agents to inquire, hoping to contact the mysterious person to provide themselves with an additional layer of protection.

These people also spent a lot of money to get some infrared telescopes from some special channels for the secret agents to use. The last time they were caught by Lao Yang, they were thrown to the General Logistics Department as a warning, but how could they accept that such a mysterious person with great magical powers asked them to give up the opportunity to contact him?
