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

After finishing off the two people, Lao Yang restored the scene, collected the bloodstains on the ground, and released two compressed air bombs to blow the surrounding area into a mess. He returned to the shore with the puppy in his arms, sat on a stool, picked up the fishing rod on the ground and started fishing.

The bodies of the two were crushed into minced meat and scattered in the water to make a nest. The smell of blood and flesh quickly spread to the lake, and many fish swam to the surface to snatch the meat. Lao Yang swung the fishing rod and threw the hook directly into the mouth of the big fish and pulled it to the shore. He felt that fishing this way was really fun. After catching two big fish, he stopped casting the rod and watched the fish in the water chasing the blood and flesh.

Ten minutes later, the water surface slowly returned to calm, and the two people just disappeared into the belly of the fish. Lao Yang took out a big fish, estimated to be about 5 pounds, and flicked his finger on the fish's forehead to kill it directly. He shook it in front of the little black dog lying on his legs, and the little black dog stretched out its nose to sniff, then retracted its head in disgust.

Lao Yang put the fish into the space, peeled off the scales, cut it into pieces, took out one and handed it to the puppy.

"Hei, good boy. Here's some fish for you. Come and eat it!"

The puppy probably understood what Lao Yang said. He poked his head out to sniff the fish, licked it with his tongue, and then shook his head, meaning that he didn't want to eat it?

Looking at the little black dog in his arms, he felt that they killed it too early without asking what the little dog ate all day. After thinking about it, since it was a dog, should I let it eat shit? Forget it, let's go back and talk about it. Lao Yang picked up the fish bucket, put away the stool and fishing rod, and followed the crowd that began to appear and walked out of the park. He came to a tree and took out a bicycle, hung the fish bucket on the handlebars and started to rush back.

It was already past seven when Lao Yang arrived at the compound. The road was full of people going to work. They saw the tail of the fish sticking out of Lao Yang's bucket and were envious. When he turned into the alley, he saw Li Yuping driving to work. Lao Yang didn't say hello and rode his bicycle directly to the gate of the compound.

Seeing Auntie Sun sitting at the door, Lao Yang greeted her and said, "Good morning, Auntie Sun! Aren't you going out to buy groceries today?"

Aunt Sun looked up and squinted at Old Yang. After recognizing him, she replied, "Xiao Yang, I queued up yesterday morning and bought a lot of fish. It's enough to last for three to five days! You don't have to go today, but Xiao Yang, did you go fishing? This fish looks pretty big. It's sticking out of the bucket!"

Lao Yang took the bucket down and said, "I'm lucky today. I caught such a big fish right away and came back straight away!"

Aunt Sun and another aunt came over and looked at the fish. They estimated that it must be about 6-7 jin. It is quite rare to catch such a big fish near Kyoto! After all, the government organized fishing in the past few years, and the big fish in the water are basically gone. Now there are only a few small fish of one or two jin, which have grown up in the past two years. There are definitely not many big fish like this that slip through the net, and you are very lucky to catch one.

Old Yang handed the fish to Aunt Sun and said, "Aunt, help me kill the fish later. The head, tail, and other fish parts are all yours. I only want the body of the fish!"

After hearing this, Auntie Sun immediately took the fish bucket happily and said, "Okay, Xiao Yang, don't worry, Auntie will kill it cleanly for you! I will send it to you when it's done."

Old Yang then nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Sun. I'll go home first."

He lifted the bicycle and pushed it into the yard. After parking the bicycle, Lao Yang pushed open the door of the main room and saw Zhao Jingyi standing by the table, cleaning it. On the table was the breakfast that Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping had eaten. They simply made two cups of milk and ate some cakes.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhao Jingyi looked up and saw that it was Lao Yang who came back. She went to greet him and asked, "How are you, husband? Have you been busy until now? Do you want me to make you a bowl of noodles?"

Old Yang put the stool and fishing rod in his hand into the space and said, "No need to go through so much trouble. Look what I brought back."

As he spoke, he took out the little black dog from the backpack behind him. After the little black dog was taken out, it kicked its legs vigorously to express its dissatisfaction. It opened its big, cute black eyes and looked at Zhao Jingyi in front of it. It barked at Zhao Jingyi twice, and then whimpered, as if it had suffered a great injustice and was looking for someone to confide in.

When Zhao Jingyi saw the little black dog that Lao Yang brought out, she was immediately captivated by it and felt like touching it.

"Honey, does this little dog bite people?" Zhao Jingyi asked.

"Probably not. This little Nicole is too proud and cunning!"

When Zhao Jingyi heard this, she immediately reached out and rescued the little black dog from Lao Yang's clutches, and held it in her arms. She touched the dog's fur, which was particularly clean and smooth, without a trace of impurities, and was pitch black.

After the little black dog entered Zhao Jingyi's arms, it immediately began to act cute and licked Zhao Jingyi's fingers with its little tongue. Zhao Jingyi immediately abandoned Lao Yang and carried the little dog back to the table, gently placing the little dog on the table. After the little dog found its feet, it immediately stood up and looked around, sniffing around with its little nose, and ran in one direction as if it had found some treasure.

The direction the little black dog ran to was exactly the cup that the two women had used for breakfast, which still contained a little bit of milk left by Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping. The dog pushed over the glass and put its mouth and tongue into the cup, licking the remaining milk at the bottom of the cup.

Lao Yang also came over, looked at the puppy and said, "Looking at its size, it's probably still a puppy, so it makes sense for it to drink milk powder!"

After hearing this, Zhao Jingyi immediately stood up, took out a bag of milk powder from the cupboard, scooped two spoonfuls into a bowl, poured some warm water in and stirred it, and pushed the small bowl in front of the puppy.

The puppy immediately gave up licking the cup, moved closer to the small bowl, stuck out its little tongue and began to drink happily, occasionally looking up and sticking out its tongue at Zhao Jingyi.

Zhao Jingyi happily reached out and touched the dog's head and pulled its tail, feeling very curious. She looked up and asked, "Where did you get this pure black puppy? It looks so beautiful and smart."

"It's a long story, but it's said that this is the offspring of a divine dog with incredible abilities. It looks good enough to be kept as a pet, so I snatched it away! I fed it fish in the morning, but it wouldn't eat! Now it seems that it hasn't been weaned yet. At that time, I thought it was spoiled and needed to eat all kinds of delicacies and special nutritional supplements!"

Zhao Jingyi patted the black dog's back and asked, "Honey, what's its name?"

Old Yang shook his head and said, "I also stole it. Who knows if it has a name? Otherwise, just call it Xiao Hei!"

The little black dog seemed to understand. It stopped drinking milk and raised its head to bark at Lao Yang. Zhao Jingyi also complained on behalf of the little black dog, "Look, it doesn't agree! The name is too rough. We need to think of a nice one!"

Lao Yang thought for a while and said, "This dog is a foreign girl. Should we give it a foreign name? For example, Black Girl, Black Girl, Blake, Doug, etc."

The little black dog raised its head and barked at Lao Yang. Zhao Jingyi also said, "How can you name it like that? It's full of discrimination and seriously affects its appearance. Do you have any plans for today? If not, I will take care of it. I will discuss it with Yuping tonight and give it a nice name."

When the little black dog heard that Lao Yang didn’t need to give it a name, it immediately lowered its head and started drinking milk, no longer paying any attention to Lao Yang.

Old Yang would not argue with a dog, so he stood up and said, "I have been busy since yesterday and have not had a good rest. Life is for enjoying, and you cannot sacrifice yourself for others! So I have nothing to do today, so I will sleep till the end first!"

Lao Yang picked up the kettle, poured himself a glass of water, drank it and said, "Okay, I'm going to go take a shower and go to bed. If anyone wants to see me, they have to wait until I wake up!"

After saying that, he pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. He used the space to cover his body and instantly cleared out the impurities on his clothes and body surface. After cleaning, he felt that his whole body was clear, but he thought that there was still a feeling missing, that is, the feeling of slowly enjoying soaking in warm water.

Old Yang said self-deprecatingly: "It's really cheap!"

Lao Yang lay down on the bed and placed a wooden barrel filled with ice in the middle of the room. Soon the temperature in the room dropped, and he pulled up the quilt and fell asleep!

Less than 20 kilometers away from Lao Yang, hundreds of people from several departments were overwhelmed by Lao Yang's crazy investment.

Hundreds of camels and 300 tons of marine fish are not small numbers. During this period, the country slaughtered less than 300 adult cattle a year, but camels, a huge fortune, for meat. Several leaders who did not know the reason came out to criticize this unplanned slaughter, which was a complete destruction of the production plan, and demanded severe punishment for the perpetrators!

Of course, these people did not show any mercy when fighting for camel meat, and they all shouted that they must get more. The army is not a department that can only shout and be manipulated by others, and they just ignored these people's faces.

At the strong request of the military district commander, all the humps of 300 camels were cut off, 600 of the nearly 400 humps were handed over to the state, and the remaining 200 humps were distributed to 13 military districts after processing. A batch of canned food and bacon were also urgently produced and sent to various military districts.

For a time, the Kyoto Military Region became a model for military regions across the country, and leaders of military regions with connections called the leaders of the Kyoto Military Region to try to get more supplies. After all, no one was rich at that time, and except for a few military regions near the sea that could often have fish to eat, it was indeed difficult for other military regions to get meat.

The most outstanding work was done by the General Logistics Department, which transported 3,000 tons of sea fish in one night. Such a large amount of sea fish directly filled up the cold storage and slaughterhouse warehouses that had been arranged, and the fish were piled up everywhere. All the meat processing and logistics personnel worked overtime, sorting and preparing the sea fish all night long.

After daybreak, all butcher shops opened to sell sea fish, with unlimited supply at 20 cents per pound. If the factory needed it, it could be even cheaper, and it could be delivered to the door. All butcher shops, delicatessens, and canneries under the General Logistics Department received a large number of orders and began to work overtime to produce canned fish and fish side dishes.

Although fish is meat, it takes a lot of oil and many other ingredients to make it delicious, so many people buy it among the people, but the quantity is not large. After buying a few fish to try, the enthusiasm for buying them wanes.

Of the 3000 tons of marine fish, only about 1000 tons were sold before the fish became unsalable. So after the marine fish in Kyoto were brought back, they were transported to surrounding cities and towns for sale. Since the price was cheap and no tickets were required, the areas around Kyoto consumed nearly 500 tons of marine fish. Of the remaining 1500 tons, 500 tons were allocated for cold storage, and 1000 tons were transported to various food factories to be processed into various types of food and canned food. Meat factories in Kyoto and nearby areas worked overtime to digest this batch of marine fish!

What happened during the marine fish trading process was promptly reported to the Special Affairs Department in the morning. A large number of spies who were hiding very deeply were exposed, and more than a hundred people were arrested and killed. A group of people who infiltrated Kyoto from abroad were also exposed. In particular, the appearance of Japanese ninjas raised the vigilance of many sensitive people against Japan to a new level. They began to ask the special department to conduct an in-depth investigation of Kyoto, reduce the number of spies from various countries to a very low range, and make some achievements to give an explanation to the mysterious man!

As the news sent back by spies from various countries spread, the strange things happening in China were soon noticed by countries around the world. In particular, the KGB, which was harassed by Lao Yang, began to put pressure on China through the government, demanding that some KGB personnel be sent to China to conduct investigations. The Chinese government sternly rejected this.

Although it was not possible to do so openly, the KGB secretly sent many Chinese students who had been brainwashed and trained by the KGB back to the mainland to conduct espionage activities. Many children of high-ranking officials were educated in the Soviet Union and brainwashed by Soviet ideology. They obeyed the Soviet Union and believed that they were engaged in a great cause. With a little instigation from the KGB, they joined the KGB organization and were willing to return to China to serve as the KGB's eyes and ears.

At the same time, nearly a thousand students who had studied in the Soviet Union returned to China during this period. Due to the complicated status of the students, the country did not impose any restrictions and all of them were sent back to China for key supervision. The children of some leaders were uniformly arranged to receive patriotic education.

Of course, after this group of people rushed back, Lao Yang must have left Kyoto, after all, he stayed in the country for too long.

There was nothing to do in the next three days, so Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun also took a leave and joined the group of people to play. They took photos of their play in the bustling places such as Shichahai, Dongdan, Xidan, and Qianmen Street.

On Friday, Zhao Tiehe and Huang Jincheng came to Zhao Jingyi's courtyard to discuss the next recruitment plan and the arrangement of personnel going abroad with Lao Yang. The three of them discussed for a day before reaching a consensus. Lao Yang left Huang Jincheng a 300 million activity fund to assist Zhao Tiehe in completing the first domestic recruitment plan, and then go to Hong Kong and then to Southeast Asia together.

Lao Yang planned to rush back to Hong Kong on Sunday to make arrangements, and then rush to Nanyang to build an airport. He also planned to open routes between Nanyang and China and Hong Kong as soon as possible to speed up the exchange of personnel.

The next day, Saturday, Lao Yang, accompanied by Zhao Tiehe, Huang Jincheng, and Zhao Jingyi, went to the Kyoto Veterans Administration for coordination. Since they had made an appointment in advance, all the leaders of the Veterans Administration were present. They had a detailed communication and handover instructions for the later work in a highly confidential meeting room.

Old Yang did not attend the afternoon meeting, and was directly represented by Zhao Tiehe and Huang Jincheng. After lunch, Old Yang took Zhao Jingyi out of the Veterans Administration and drove to visit all of his properties. He also explained the future affairs to Ma Siye and Ma Yu, and went to the army to deliver snacks to Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun.

In the evening, I drove Zhao Jingyi to the Air Force compound to say goodbye to Zhao's family. After all the hassles, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we returned to the compound.

Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping went to Aunt Sun's house together to say goodbye and explained their future housing arrangements. Aunt Sun shed tears of reluctance.

In the evening, Aunt Sun took people to move the TV away. Li Yuping, with red eyes, couldn't wait to pull Lao Yang back to the room.

A night of passion took away the pain of separation...
