no hate

The two hugged each other silently, and after an unknown amount of time, Zhou Mei noticed that Actor Bai was trembling, and she put her hand on the back of Actor Bai's hand, only to feel the icy cold.

"Ah Choo" At the same moment, Xie Zibai sneezed and sniffed his nose very apologetically.

"Why are you dressed so lightly? It's winter..." Complaining, Zhou Mei hurriedly got up, went to the cupboard and took out the exaggerated fox fur coat, and put it on for the actor Bai.

"I'm wearing cotton clothes, so it's not because of the wall in your backyard." Wrapped in warmth, the actor rubbed his hands in vain. flip in"

"Your problem of climbing over walls and windows, can you correct it? You are not a monkey!" Zhou Mei had no choice but to hit actor Bai on the back. Her shoulders stopped moving, "This dress is not suitable for you, tomorrow I will ask Awang to get some imported woolen coats for you to wear."

"It's fine to wear something similar, that... I have to talk to you about something serious"

"What's wrong..." Zhou Mei's heart tightened suddenly.

"You can buy me a house, it doesn't have to be very good, but it should be enough for me, Shishi and Jian Rong to live in. Now the place we live in is too ostentatious, I'm afraid I will cause trouble for you in the future." Seeing Zhou Mei seemed to have something Thinking, Xie Zibai hurriedly said, "Don't ask me why I don't go back to live in the Tang mansion, I want you to buy it, I want you to support me, this is what you owe me, hmph!"

If she really wanted to return to Zhou Mei's side and be willing to be an invisible person, then she could no longer use Tang Xiangwan's property, which made her feel uneasy.

Zhou Mei caressed the soft hair next to the actor's white ears over and over again, slowly raising the corners of his mouth from nervousness in his heart.

"Hey! Give it or not, you shouldn't be so picky!" Seeing that she was silent, the actor was in vain.

"Give it up" really couldn't hide the joy in her heart, Zhou Mei directly rubbed the actor's white hair with her hands, making her bangs cover her entire face.

"Aiya!" The actor brushed his hair embarrassingly, "You can just give it, what is this..."

“It just feels so cool”

"..." The actor's pale face turned red.

Finally something to give her, this feeling is inexplicably happy, but also a little sad, Zhou Mei seems to finally understand how those men get happiness from women.

"I'll buy you another car? Mercedes-Benz has a new boss, it's pretty good-looking." It's rare to taste this kind of sweetness, so she began to give indiscriminately. "By the way, are you interested in boats?"

After Xi Zibai heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. The two chattered for a while, before they managed to get back to the topic, "The money from selling the house, please help me find a bank to save it. I want to keep it for Shishi."

"If you deposit in the bank, you might as well run it for me. I will give you [-]% of the shares, and you will get dividends every year in the future. I will ensure that you don't have to worry about money for the rest of your life." When this was mentioned, Zhou Mei immediately came up with a better idea for actor Bai. method.

"That's right... the boss's vision is just different." Xi Zibai spoke the truth, but it sounded a bit sour.

"So, do you want to be the proprietress~"

"..." After nearly five years, she has been living a life that has nothing to do with romance. The war and exile have long since made her forget what a heartbeat is, but in this short moment, the actor's white face has turned red several times At the base of her neck, she sighed helplessly, moved Zhou Mei's hand to her lips, and whispered, "You are... alas"

Absolutely poisonous.

In fact, actor Bai met Lao Zeng before he planned to return to Chongqing. Lao Zeng said that as long as she did not come back, the organization was willing to give her money and subsidize her going directly to Hong Kong. Security warnings and even threats, Chongqing underground organizations place too much emphasis on Zhou Mei's interests and influence, and her return this time will inevitably cause disturbances of various sizes.

But she is still willful, but now it seems that her willfulness is worth it.

In less than three days, Zhou Mei has bought a very warm private house for Bai Yuan and Jian Rong. This is not the kind of bundling building made of bamboo, and the coughing of the neighbors next door cannot be heard. It is hidden in the alley, and there is a In the yard, you can grow flowers and enjoy yourself in your free time. With running water, you don’t have to go to the mountains to fetch water, and life is more convenient. The main reason why Zhou Mei chose this place is that she is familiar with the locations of all air-raid shelters in Chongqing. , the straight-line distance is only more than 200 meters. If there is an accident at that time, Xie Zibai can take them to escape quickly.

Zhou Mei understood Xie Zibai's character and knew that she was a person who couldn't stay idle, so she arranged for her to join the charity organization he set up, and let her participate in the resettlement work of women and children, and help compatriots who were exiled in the war. Xie Zibai is really She loves this job very much, every day is like a chicken blood, she leaves early and returns late, she is the most energetic in the whole department, and most of Shishi's life is taken care of by Jian Rong.

Since 1937, the Japanese army has gradually expanded and invaded. North China, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and some coastal cities have fallen into the clutches of the enemy one after another. They launched a brutal massacre in Nanjing. Set as the accompanying capital, this ancient mountain city began to spend its eight years as the capital here.

The steep terrain of Chongqing, the turbulent Sichuan River and the four-sided barriers of the Bashan Mountains have created a natural umbrella for it. The unique geographical advantages are also the reason why it can take on this important task.The national government moved the basic industries and the economic center of gravity westward collectively. Thousands of factory materials and technical personnel were transferred from the Yangtze River waterway to the Sichuan River through Yichang, Hubei. It was also accompanied by the bombing of the enemy army. At the same time, this river that raised the children of China also carried refugees coming from all directions.

Chaotianmen Wharf is noisy with people, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a miasma. Trackers and Bangbang are the fastest-paying jobs for ordinary people. Mixed in the simple iron shed set up by the Chongqing charity organization, she handed warm steamed buns to the hands of every ashen-faced refugee with blood and tears. , but there are more and more refugees, and the location of the shelter is getting more and more tense. In the end, the entire Chaotianmen River is full of boats, and many people have to be placed on the boat. Then people got into the bedding, and just like that, the shelter was full, the boat was full, and even the railings were gradually full.

Although the battle report is worrying, education has not stopped there. A large number of specialized schools and colleges have moved into Chongqing. Teachers and students continue their classes as usual, and no one stops studying.

When the rivers converge, due to the difference in terrain, the surface of the river here is always surrounded by mist, sometimes covering the city, making it unable to see the light or direction.It is said that looking at flowers in the fog is like looking at the moon in the water, which makes people unable to tell which is real and which is fake. Inside the fog is prosperity and stability, but the world outside the fog is full of gunpowder and dust, and there are so many heroic souls. Quietly bid farewell to the world.

The compatriots who lost their homes, in the face of the enemy's air attack, went from screaming and running around to hiding in the air-raid shelter in an orderly manner. They stood next to each other, shoulder to shoulder, singing songs together, and then burst into tears Eyes full:

there is our hometown

there are our parents

Millions of glory turned to ashes in an instant

Boundless joy turns into desolation in an instant

what's yours and mine

what is poor rich

The enemy kills, the artillery wounds

in the end

all the same

Businessmen and government agencies in Chongqing launched a monthly fundraiser. Zhou Mei donated most of the ships in the shipyard, and only a few ships were still maintaining the necessary transportation work. Although a large number of people poured into Chongqing, the price of goods became soaring. , Hu Ziang still insisted on maintaining the price of tap water in Chongqing, Zhao Sihai, a fat man with a greasy face, slapped the shopkeeper of a salt shop who had raised the price privately, and cursed angrily, "How dare you do it for the national calamity! ", even Shi Liu, who made his fortune by smuggling arms in recent years, entrusted Zhou Mei to donate some of the supplies he had hoarded to the government army.

Everyone is doing their best to work hard for the last hope of this country.Facing life and death, this may be the time when all Chinese people are most united. The hearts of the people used to be so kind and simple.

Although the war is endless, life should be lived. The more difficult the years are, the more we must learn to enjoy the hardships. Although Zhou Mei and Xizibai already live in the same city, they always face work. It's because they have a passion and can be so busy that they forget each other completely, and once they stop, the first thing they do is start to miss each other.

The opera singer Bai was humming a ditty while arguing about the vegetables in the pot. Jian Rong was wearing an apron and sitting in the backyard making rice dumplings. There were two bamboo baskets in front of her, one filled with fragrant white rice dumplings, and the other basket Inside, there are delicious meat dumplings.

Another year of Dragon Boat Festival, tomorrow is the 27th birthday of Xizibai, she is still very young, she still has a figure that makes women enviable and an appearance that is becoming more and more charming, and her poems can already be bouncing around. Soy sauce, no one in the neighborhood believes that Bai Yuan is Shishi's real mother, because she looks so young, her youth is mostly because of her mentality, she is born an optimistic person No matter how painful or painful things are, they can turn sorrow into joy when they come to her.

At this time, Xiao Shishi was kicking shuttlecock with her neighbor's playmate at the door of the house. She was greedy and poked her head in from time to time, shouting in a childish voice, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

She turned her head after shouting, and saw the beautiful aunt at the door. The aunt smiled at her, but she timidly dropped the shuttlecock, trotted back into the yard, and hid behind Jian Rong.

Zhou Mei's appearance really doesn't appeal to children, her flamboyant makeup and bright red lips are too much like a monster in a child's bedtime story.Maybe it's because she was too rough with actor Bai when they first met, which left a bad impression on Shishi, so it's no wonder that Xiao Shishi is always on guard every time she sees her.

It has been years since the two of them had a small gathering last time. At that time, before the Chinese New Year, Zhou Mei had just brought them into this new home, and even took them to eat hot pot that broke their stomachs.Unexpectedly, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a few bombs from the Japanese army woke up the city, and they returned to their respective posts, doing what they should do.

The last time they saw each other was in April, and their separation was not pleasant.The reason was that Bai, an actor at that time, went directly to Chuanjiangkou with the boat to pick up the refugees without Zhou Mei's permission.

From the Chuanjiang River to Chongqing, there is a river channel that gradually narrows from wide to narrow. It is called the ghost gate by the local boatmen. There are many hidden reefs and fast-flowing water. Unfortunately, a cargo ship that was coming towards Xi Zibai and the others hit the rocks. Unfortunately, the captain failed to return the rudder before the ship sank, and several accompanying escorts sank into the river with the ship.

In April, the Yangtze River was icy cold, so the actor Bai had to take great risks, and once again staged the scene of jumping into the river with a rope tied around his waist to save people. However, it was too thrilling at that time, and everyone hurriedly cooperated, only one person was saved in the end. When Xi Zibai returned to the boat, she suddenly felt that her physical strength was not as good as before. She drank several sips of water, and her leg was also cut by a gravel, dripping with blood.

It just so happened that the wounded person she rescued was a researcher at the Nanjing Artillery Institute, who had his left hand accidentally blown off on the way westward. He told everyone about his previous experience and the current situation in Yichang, and learned that the person in charge of the westward transportation Minsheng Industrial Company was in urgent need of support, Xie Zibai rushed to Zhou Mei's office without even having time to change her wet clothes, and the first thing she said after breaking in was "Hurry up and send a boat to Yichang to help!"

Ever since Li Boshu told Zhou Mei that Xi Zibai followed the boat to the gate of hell, she has been restless, but Xi Zibai suddenly appeared in such a ghostly manner, which really scared Zhou Mei, "What's wrong with you!"

"Oh, it's okay! Listen to me first. There is a shortage of ships in Yichang. The westward migration plan is all about core industrial technology. If there is a problem with technology transfer, it will be a big problem. Also, because there are too few ships, ordinary tickets It has increased several times, and many ordinary people can only wait to die if they can't buy tickets, waiting to be ruined by devils, you have so many boats, can you go and help me!" The actor Bai rushed to Zhou Mei's desk, The whole person leaned over, with a look of anticipation, even though her face was already blue from the cold.

Zhou Mei narrowed her eyes. She put one hand on the phone and moved forward with the other. She touched Xi Zibai's dripping cheek. When she was sure that this person was still alive, she breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed to the phone in her hand, dumbfounded. The voice said, "I can send two hundred ships to support with a single call, and I can also ask my godfather to send an army there, but... I have a condition"

"Repay the conditions! When is the time to pay the conditions, my eldest lady, Mrs. Jing, Chairman Zhou!" The actor Bai slammed the table twice with his hands, "Don't be so stingy!!"

"My condition is that you stay in Chongqing honestly!!! You are not allowed to go to Yichang!!" Zhou Mei also knocked on the table twice.

"I..." How do you know I want to go to Yichang?The actor stuck his tongue out.

"Also, what do you want to do now? Are you trying to scare me? Huh?" Zhou Mei growled, "If you do this again, stop doing it! Go home and stay!"

Xi Zibai was a little dissatisfied, but his tone obviously softened, "I didn't do it on purpose, human life is at stake, do you want me to die without saving..."

"I don't care." Zhou Mei paused every word, "Bai, let me tell you, I don't care even if there are two thousand ships, let alone two hundred, but you have to treat me well! You're so good at it!"

"You're a good learner of Northeast dialect~" Pushing back his wet hair with both hands, Xie Zibai said helplessly, "It's alright, alright, I understand."

"Don't take it seriously!" Seeing her nonchalant look, Zhou Mei went into a rage. She got up instantly, and kicked and cursed at the actor Bai. This time, she directly cursed in Sichuan dialect, "You Gui grandson, why not just die! Then I will at most pay for a coffin!"

"Oh..." Xi Zibai had to hide everywhere, "The first day I met you, you kicked and kicked me, can't you have a few good words in your mouth? There is no one who loves you that much"

"You still dare to talk poorly, go back and change your clothes, what do you look like!"

In short, Bai Zhen, the actor, was really kicked out by Zhou Mei. In fact, Zhou Mei had already received the news from Liu Xiang before Bai Yuan came. The requisition order was issued. She had to send a boat to support her, and she had to hand it over to the army. Coordinator, but she didn't tell the truth, she deliberately fooled the actor Bai.

Just because he knows her too well and knows that she likes to hear such pleasant words, that guy was careless just now, but now he is probably hiding in a corner and intoxicated, maybe he is grinning happily to his forehead.

Moreover, only when Zhou Mei said so himself, could actor Bai truly love himself for her sake.

After that incident, it can be said that the past two months have been peaceful, Xi Zibai has indeed calmed down a lot, and nothing unbelievable has happened again.Zhou Mei knew that the Dragon Boat Festival was Bai's birthday, but she had to put her family first on such an important festival, so she had to come one day earlier.
