12days ago Urban Novels 6
The mother and son temporarily broke up in the most lively place on Xisi Street. Jia Min went to meet the Communist Party's leader by herself. He Tianbao went to Da Guangming Cinema to watch a movie

It's wartime now, and there are crowds of people in the cinema. Maybe I want to escape reality. The next "Song of White Orchid" filmed by the Manchu Film Association is full of advertisements all over the streets of Peking. The starring is the Manchu girl star Li Xianglan and He Tianbao bought tickets and entered the venue. Li Xianglan is not as famous as meeting. The content of the video is also boring. He Tianbao got up several times and wanted to leave, but he didn't want to be too conspicuous. He observed the audience around him. Most of them looked like Chinese and watched with relish.

After finally the movie ended, He Tianbao followed the crowd and suddenly became a little worried about gains and losses. What if the Communist Party disagreed with borrowing troops?

Walking out of the theater, I saw Jia Min standing at the door waiting for him. It was dusk. The street lights were just above the dark yellow light. She stood casually under the street lights, with blurred faces, graceful curves, and a little tired. She was charming, like a modern wife, and like a goddess who was captured from Greece in the Louvre.

He Tianbao instinctively tidied his shirt, walked up and opened his mouth but couldn't find a suitable title: ...See? Jia Min Xinghu turned to the corner of his eyes, glanced at him, and nodded.

How to say it? Jia Min turned her eyes and looked straight ahead. She was shorter than He Tianbao. Her hair was burnt when she didn't raise her face covered half of her face. He Tianbao could only see the rich red lips, which were like wine and blood. The red lips opened gently, and said in a low voice: If you don't want to call me mother, you can just call me a name like this little thing, you can linger and hesitate.

He Tianbao said happily: Miss Jia, have you replied? Jia Min said: Five thousand yuan, we will have half of it within three days. After I pretend to be dead, someone will ask you to take the other half.

He Tianbao said: OK

Jia Min then turned her head, bowed halfway to him, and said: Please take care of the head of the company in the next month.

He Tianbao took the note given by Huizi and found the residence that Jin Qiqing rented for him. Jinyu Hutong No. 24 Jinyu Hutong is in Dongcheng, with the east end leaning against Dongsi South Street, and the west end is Dong'an Market, and the rickshaw is parked in front of the door of No. 24. He Tianbao was shocked. The gate of this courtyard is so big, wider than the door of the Six Kingdoms Hotel. It is open inside, revealing a shadow wall.

Jia Min held He Tianbao's arm and said softly with a smile: What official have you become in Nanjing? This yard can catch up with the prince of the Qing Dynasty.

Bypassing the screen wall, I saw that the yard was just a golden and jade, and there was a large yard hidden behind the rich door.

There is a tap pool on the open space behind the screen wall. There is a corridor in front, and there are high and low partition walls and narrow doors on both sides. The materials are different from old and new.

A little round-faced old lady was washing vegetables next to the pool. When she heard the footsteps, she looked up and asked immediately: Are you Mr. He, right?

How do you know?

Erhuizi's family used to be a business dealer in the northern Eryang City. Uncle Jin also rented my house. I am the landlord here. Baihuizi has already brought your luggage and is cleaning it for you. Go quickly.

Old Mrs. Bai said, "Go quickly, but she didn't mean to end the conversation, but instead introduced the history of the yard."

This was originally a man of a man of the Qing Dynasty. After the Republic of China, the man of the country had no income and could only sell houses. It was gradually divided into many small courtyards. When his husband was alive, he specialized in eating tiles. He was a professional landlord. He bought the house with some spare money. He successively bought the Duke's Mansion and divided it into various sizes for rent. This time, Jin Wu rented them one of the most regular and most beautiful places. As for why Jin Qiqing was called Jin Wu and Uncle Jin, it was because Jin Wu was the big ranking of Jin Qiqing in the Jin family, but his father died early and his uncles took a lot of advantage when he was taking care of the funeral. So Jin Qiqing's mother called his son Daqinger...

The old lady doesn't care whether the He family or not. She talks nonsense, but He Tianbao is helpless, or Jia Min has a way: Auntie, are you stewed meat at home? I seem to smell the smell of a mud.

Old lady Bai picked up the vegetable bowl and turned over and left, like a legendary master of inner self

The mother and son smiled at each other, Jia Min was wearing heavy makeup on her face, but she smiled with an unexpected naughty smell.

He Tianbao immediately became a little annoyed about himself, why would he feel happy to be with this enemy?

It was easy for the two of them to find their own yard. Entering through a door on the west side of the corridor was the West Cross Courtyard of the Duke's Mansion in the past, and it was divided into three families. They were the West Courtyard, with a neighbor from the north and south, and shared the original West Cross Courtyard gate.

When I entered the yard, it was very neat. There were three people living in the north room, two small rooms under the south wall, one kitchen and the other was a Western-style bathroom with begonia, hosta, hydrangea, tiger ear grass and other easy-to-serve flowers and plants. There were two jujube trees in the middle of the yard and one fragrant. There were several pomegranates and oleanders planted high and low under the tree.

The house is all authentic Peking style, with square bricks on the ground, lattice wooden windows pasted with window paper, and white paper on the head of Jia Min's house was also a housekeeper in the late Qing Dynasty. It was very familiar to see these things. She ran away from home and eloped with He Tianbao's father, so she broke off contact with relatives at home. He Tianbao had never been to Peking before, so naturally he had never seen an old-fashioned Peking residence. Everything was fresh, but she didn't want to ask Jia Min for advice, so she didn't speak, just followed her

Huizi said goodbye, the He family and the couple said goodbye behind the door, Jia Min held He Tianbao's arm, He Tianbao noticed that there were shadows on both sides of the alley, as if there were more than a dozen eyes looking at them, probably the curious neighbors

Close the yard door, the mother and son separate, looking at each other

Jia Min raised a finger to put it on her red lips, signaling He Tianbao not to speak, walked over slowly, leaned over to his ear and whispered: Even if we are at home, we should be cautious when speaking.

Do you suspect there is a spy next door?

There are many spies in Peking, Japanese, people from the North China puppet government, and you Nanjing Wang puppet people, I'm afraid you want to stare at you

He Tianbao smiled sarcastically: You forgot the people of your party

Jia Min raised her eyebrows and was about to retort, but someone suddenly kicked and walked away along the corridor, pounding the door.

He Tianbao opened the door and came in a Peking woman with a warm smile and said: Mr. He, right? I am from the north end of the corridor. Our head of the family’s surname is Xing... He Tianbao said: It turns out to be Mrs. Xing.

No, we are the fifth in the family, and the neighbors in this area call me Aunt Ba

Hello Aunt Ba

You young couple have moved here and haven't cleaned it yet. Do you want to help?

No

He Tianbao was still blocking the door, and Jia Min gently pulled his clothes and gave her husband a secret code like a little wife, and said with a smile: Aunt Ba, please sit in the room.

No, no, no

As she said this, Aunt Ba had already walked into the main room and sat down

He Tianbao had to follow her and chat with her. Aunt Ba sat there, not inferior to Mrs. Jin Qiqingbai, and the content was completely different. It seemed that it was difficult to distinguish Shaolin Wudang. Aunt Ba took the appropriate route. She started from the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival and talked about where to buy Jinwowei, where to buy rice dumplings and leaves, where to buy dried dates; then introduced which county and township should be produced in which county and township, and which people from Beijing usually do business, which business is in which alley, and which craftsmen are in which teahouse to drip teeth...

Jia Min burned water, washed the tea set, and served it with the tea. Aunt Ba was still drawing a map of Peking with her mouth. She had just finished drawing half a bridge, and it seemed that she would not be able to draw Dongdan in an hour.

Jia Min came over to ask the tea and sat down. Aunt Ba was even more energetic. She praised Jia Min for ten minutes and asked where their hometown (Peking dialect: parents) were doing. Then she asked: How old are you two? How many years have you been married? He Tianbao looked at Jia Min, and Jia Min said: We are children's relatives. I am four years older than him. He later went abroad and just completed his house the year before yesterday.

Aunt Ba refused to give in: Xiu'er, don't let me settle the score, how old are you?

Twenty-seven

Jia Min said a little less, and looked at He Tianbao intentionally or unintentionally, and it was a bit embarrassing to pretend to be young in front of her son.

Oh, I'm not happy yet (Note: A woman is pregnant with her first child) I have to worry about it. I tell you that there is a Miaofeng Mountain in the west of Beijing... Aunt Ba sneaked down her voice and probably opened a new book to talk about "People's School for Purchasing a Child"

Jia Min is good at acting, listens with a focused face, and beats the drums: But I am also anxious, but he has been abroad and says that everything is fate, but he is not in a hurry.

He Tianbao felt that the time was almost done, so he coughed gently and asked: Aunt Ba, are you going here today, besides recognizing the neighbors, there is anything else?

Ah, sister-in-law of the He family, these old mothers ordered me to wait for Mr. He to go out another day and I will talk to you in detail, and I will also give you a detailed chat. If you don’t mention it, I will forget... Aunt Ba finally got to the point. In addition to busy with the matter at home, I also occasionally introduce someone to the neighbors to help you. Should you use old mothers and girls in your mansion? He Tianbao said: No more

Jia Min said: We are a bit obsessed with cleanliness, and we are not allowed to touch the things we often use.

Aunt Ba's eyes rolled around and said with a smile: You are new to Peking, but you don't know. We are more convenient than Nan. I'll say something casual. Since the wife is not happy, it's better to buy someone to come here. She has to use it and can pass on the family line. That's not an outsider, right? When it comes to passing on the family line, He Tianbao realized that Aunt Ba's still sells her wife for her, and she is joking with sincerity: Can she buy someone in Peking?

I'm not the ones who are kidnapped, they are all sold by my own father and mother. I'm sure I'm the eldest daughter of a yellow flower... Seeing that she's getting worse and worse, Jia Min showed up and stopped her: Aunt Ba, our boss has just arrived in Peking, and he doesn't know how to wait for us to live a more stable life. Let's discuss it with you.

OK, ok, Xiu'er, you are really a wife who can live a life, but unlike those female students nowadays, you only know how to spend money, Mr. He is so lucky... You guys are busy, I'll go back first

Aunt Ba said, but her butt didn't move at all.

He Tianbao immediately stood up and saw the guests off and said: Don’t sit for a while anymore?

No, you must be very tired from Nanjing to Beijing. Now, how many hours does the train take to travel from Nanjing to Beijing? Aunt Ba finally stood up and talked to Jia Min for more than half an hour before finally getting out.

Saying Aunt Ba away and closing the yard gate, He Tianbao exaggeratedly picked up the door latch and inserted it on the door

The mother and son looked at each other and laughed at the same time

Jia Min instantly put away her smile

He Tianbao was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: What?

I'm learning from you. I finally smiled at me and then turned my face right away

Jia Min said as she turned around, her face facing the door, saying that she was angry, and more like acting cute.

He Tianbao spent the afternoon with her and felt that he was getting close to her quickly. He put his hands on his mother's shoulders and made a gesture to help her massage her, saying: What you did was not very authentic, so why wouldn't I be angry?

What you said is more important than personal grudges. Now I am not your enemy, but the rescuer you begged for borrowing.

He Tianbao turned around and smiled with his face: This is a sequelae of civil war. I am slow and I have adjusted it now. If you have any behaviors that are disrespectful, rude and unfriendly to you, I will be punished.

What to punish?

I'll treat you to a meal

Jia Min finally smiled: You're poor

I am poor or are you poor? He Tianbao took out his pocket watch and pointed at it and complained: You have so much to talk to with your personal teeth, from five o'clock to seven o'clock

I also hope to know the neighbors with her.

Jia Min said: Besides, you are still keeping others and not sitting for a while? The second-hand sword-making movie that imitates your son is very vivid

He Tianbao said: I was a polite word, and I stood up and said so obviously that she could not understand the words? Jia Min shook her head and said: Ah, is that a delivery? I really can't tell that I thought you were back from studying abroad and learning the British gentlemanly manners. I show my diligence to this...Fifth lady, I want a kissing gift

I couldn't hold on and smiled as I said

He Tianbao said: Even if I want to be attentive, I still have to find some female celebrities and celebrities. How could I find an old lady? Jia Min squinted her phoenix eyes and looked angry: That's right, how could a young hero like you pay attention to an old lady in her forties or fifties? He Tianbao walked over with a smile, held her mother's shoulder with both hands, and leaned into her ear and said: I'm not saying her age, but she is not old at 40 years old, and is the most beautiful age for a woman. The key is whether she will take care of herself or not. For example, you, this one looks like my sister from a distance, but my wife from a close distance.

Nonsense

Jia Min turned around and just looked at the mirror. She couldn't help but look at herself. Under her dark cloud-like hair, a blush floated across her face. She had a dewy marriage with several revolutionary comrades over the years, but the men who have experienced this life are serious and even rustic. Where is He Tianbao so elegant and romantic? In a trance, Jia Min suddenly saw his blushing cheeks in the mirror. She quickly lowered her head and walked towards the west room in a panic, saying: You pack your luggage first, I want to check the room.

Jia Min went to the next room to calm down, took out an instrument from Dakun's bag, and began to search the room in a carpet-style search. There was a pavilion with small furnishings against the wall. Jia Min squatted down and checked her back to He Tianbao, bent over, and her butt just reached to He Tianbao. Her butt looked bigger and rounder, and her waist looked thinner. In contrast, it was shocking.

He Tianbao only felt difficulty breathing, so he quickly looked away and asked: What are you looking for? Jia Min said: Eavesdropping device

Eavesdropping equipment is a valuable item in China. He Tianbao doesn’t believe that Japanese people would use eavesdropping devices to small people like him. He smiled and said: If you are so loud, aren’t you afraid of being eavesdropped? Jia Min said: According to the Japanese agents regulations, they will not install eavesdropping devices when the surveillance object moves into a new location, which is easy to be exposed, because we will definitely add or reduce furniture and unboxing and pack up something after we settle down.

He Tianbao was even more confused: Then what else are you checking?

Just confirm it, and also understand the structure of the house. You can also know the places where eavesdropping devices may be installed.

He Tianbao's breathing has recovered and asked with a smile: You won't pretend to be one for me, right? Jia Min said: We don't have that kind of high-end thing, I check it everywhere. You can write down your fake resumes and memorize it for me to memorize it.

He Tianbao wrote. After Jia Min checked the house, she came over and read it quietly. Jia Min read it several times. She got up and went out. She went to the kitchen opposite the yard to make tea. She walked back and read it a few more times, saying that she remembered everything.

He Tianbao tested her several questions, and Jia Min answered Ruliu He Tianbao was not surprised. He had a good memory, probably because he was inherited from Jia Min's idleness. He Tianbao walked around in the courtyard and saw a square thing covered with embroidered cloth in the main hall. After lifting it, it was a radio turned on. It was a Peking opera program mixed with various advertisements.

Jia Min called him in the east room. When he went in, he saw that there was a big kang that was as big as a room under the window. Jia Min smiled: Have you never slept on a kang? There was a big kang that was as big as a room under the window of the east room. Jia Min smiled: Have you never slept on a kang? He Tianbao really never slept on this kind of thing. The so-called kang is a special bed only north of the Yellow River. It is made of bricks and sealed with three-piece soil. It is empty, called a kang hole, and the stove door is open outside the room. When burning the kang in winter, the special stove is called a kang stove, which is placed on an iron rack with wheels and pushed into the hole.

Jia Min looked at the environment and said: Let's make do with it tonight. I'll pull a few feet of cloth tomorrow. The thick curtains are made, and the thin ones are pulled between us. The Chu River and Han Border

Jia Min sat on the edge of the kang, touching the flat and smooth kang surface, and said: I'm used to sleeping in the French spring bed and then sleeping in the Chinese earthen kang, I'm sorry for you.

He Tianbao said casually: We orphans are not that particular... He changed his words immediately after he said this, saying: Sorry, he said casually.

Jia Min looked at him with tenderness and said: Sorry, Xiaobao

He Tianbao hates being pity for others the most in his life, and sneered: No need

Do you hate me? He Tianbao smiled: I only know that you are the reinforcements I invited for a lot of money. We have never seen any dealings before, and I forgot them all

Jia Min's sitting posture seemed to have changed slightly, as if she was shocked by an electric shock, and she whispered: You don't understand.

He Tianbao only felt a sense of hostility surged from his heart and said: Why did you abandon your children and kill your husband? I really don’t understand.

Jia Min looked at him quietly, and said: Your sacrifice is for the liberation of all mankind.

Who is the truth? Taoist Sun from Confucius Temple in Nanjing or Wu Tiekou from Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai? Although He Tianbao knew that he should never turn against Jia Min at this moment, he couldn't help but mock her.

Let's not say this

Jia Min said in a slight voice, it is best not to talk about anything, you should try to transfer back to Chongqing as soon as possible. You are too young and prone to emotionality and are not suitable for being a spy.

It's Ah, more ruthless than ruthless, I have to take you as my teacher

Enough, don't be like a child! Jia Min suddenly whispered, stood up and faced He Tianbao, and said: I'm really sorry for you, I've apologized. If you are willing to listen, I can keep saying three days and three nights, saying how much I regret it, but there is no regret medicine in the world. If you are so endless, we can't cooperate

He Tianbao stood up, bowed blankly, and said: You are right to criticize, I'm sorry, Comrade Jia

He walked out of the main room, walked through the yard and entered the bathroom to turn on the shower. This shower was a used goods before the First World War. He needed to burn a bucket of water before slowly letting it out. At this time, the cold water flowed out was cold water, He Tianbao did not take off his clothes, and he stretched his head under the shower head, rushed for a few minutes, stood up again, the upper half of his shirt was soaked, the cold water rolled, flowing down his back and lower abdomen, and he finally calmed down.

He walked into the yard and looked at the bush of bamboo outside the wall, reflecting on his loss of composure just now. Is it because of ten years of abandonment, or is it because this woman made him a little bit of a special confusion?

The night in Peking gradually became quieter, the sound of couples quarrels in the next yard, the sound of Dongsi tram in the distance, the sound of hawking at the entrance of the alley, and the sound of rickshaw wheels in the alley... one by one disappeared

Jia Min coughed gently in the room and said lazily: It's getting late, let's take a break.

He Tianbao walked into the room, Jia Min was lying at the east end of the earthen kang, facing the wall, and he did not move, and he went to lie on the other end of the earthen kang, and also faced his face to the wall.

At some point, it started to rain again, and it was knocking on the tiles, rustling.

The mother and son were lying at both ends of the big kang, listening to the sound of rain, sleepless all night
