Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 60
Under the operation of his cousin, the Wu family had another car. The Citroen of 1930 was a bit like the Hummer of today, with a large cat stuffed in the back. It was much more domineering than the cars from back then.
Since Xu Bao had asked for it, it was Xu Bao’s turn. Tyson also drove a car, and he would take a big cat for a ride.
When he saw the car, Xu Bao saw that the duck neck she had thought of was completely different from the Citroen, and he felt like he had been cheated. He was just about to find his cousin to settle the score, but he didn’t expect that his cousin had already prepared for this.
That day, Xu Bao brought along his big cat and told Tyson to drive the car to pick up his big brother from work.
It was just time for the customs office to end work. Xu Bao didn’t wait long before seeing his big brother come out. However, he was unexpectedly accompanied by Chen Siya.
This time, Chen Siya came in the name of charity, saying that she hoped that Brother Wu could join Huayang Yi Relief Club, so that she could get to know a lot of Chinese and foreign people. Wu Anguo didn’t want to involve so much and had already clearly refused. However, Chen Sia Ya didn’t give up and often came over. She and Madam Guan were best friends, so other people naturally wouldn’t stop her.
When Wu Anguo saw the little girl waiting for him at the door, he ran over happily and picked her up, asking, “Did you stir up any trouble today?”
Xu Bao was depressed. Eldest brother’s attitude was as though she was always in trouble, but in fact, she was the only one who was in trouble every day. For example, the man who had taught him how to play the lute was so angry that he had to resign, the Third Aunt’s new dress could be used as a headscarf for a big cat, the barbecue in the yard, her cousin’s suit burnt, the fatty’s weight loss, and so on. It was just a small matter like this, and he really didn’t want to cause any more trouble.
Of course, if Wu Anguo wanted to carefully count them, he would definitely not be able to count them with ten fingers. Xu Bao chuckled as he looked left and right. When he saw Chen Siya, he hurriedly changed the topic.
“Big Sis Chen, why are you here too?” Xu Bao kissed his big brother and got off his brother’s body, greeting him with a smile.
Naturally, she was not at all calm. She could not say that she had come to find your husband, and her sweet and sweet name made her feel very old.
At this time, Wu Anguo replied first, “She is a volunteer at Huayang Yi Relief Club and would like to ask me to join them as a charity.”
“Oh!” “So that’s how it is.” Xu Bao understood. The last time she went there, she spent a thousand yuan to buy dried silver fish. She remembered clearly that dried silver fish was very delicious.
“That’s right!” But Brother Wu said that he’s too busy to join. ” With Wu Anguo’s beginning, she calmly spoke.
Xu Bao looked at Chen Siya’s sad face and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter, I have a way!”
Could it be that this stupid country bumpkin wanted to persuade Big Brother Wu to join them? If he did so, wouldn’t he be able to be together all day? At that time, she would definitely have a chance to make Big Brother Wu fall in love with her. Unlike now, it was inconvenient to go to the customs office often. Besides, Brother Wu had always been indifferent and businesslike towards her, which made her feel even more helpless.
Xu Bao turned around and left Chen Siya to look at Wu Anguo affectionately.
She got into the car. There was still a box of silver fish jerky left inside. Originally, it was two boxes in total. Xu Bao had calculated it well. He would eat one box at home and leave one box inside the car for her to eat outside. Although she was greedy for food, she remembered that Big Sis Chen had been so diligent in doing good deeds. Thus, she was rarely generous and took out a bag of small silver fish jerky from the box. She thought for a moment and then took out another bag. Then he closed the lid and let Tyson carry the box out.
When Tyson was at Wu Residence, he had listened to Xu Bao and Big Cat’s commands. Without saying anything further, he picked up the box and followed Xu Bao to Chen Siya’s side.
As Chen Siya looked at the uniformed man standing beside Citroen, she felt more and more that he was tall and handsome. Unconsciously, she felt her body go limp, wanting to lean on him so much that he could hug her tightly.
At this time, Xu Bao came over, seeing Sis Chen’s silly look, he felt very sympathetic, even doing charity work was very foolish, consoling her, “Big Sis Chen, Big Brother is too busy, he can’t help you, but I can, you see, I have a box of silver fish jerky here, I’ll give it all to you, you can take it to the auction, you can make good money, give it to those poor people, at that time I won’t take any of it, I’ll give it all to you!”
Before Chen Sia could react, Xu Bao saw Tyson carrying a box of silver fish and passed it to her.
Then he pulled his big brother, Tyson, the big cat, and rode away on the Citroen Dust.
Chen Siya held a huge box in her hands. Feeling that her hands were about to break, and smelling the fishy smell of the box and the exhaust from the car, she raised her head and looked 45 degrees towards the sky.
Wu Anguo felt helpless when he got on the car and saw that the little girl was in high spirits and even thought that she had done something good.
Xu Bao saw that his big brother was looking straight at him, so he said honestly: “Big brother, I also left two bags for myself.”
Wu Anguo pinched the little girl’s nose and said with a smile, “If you like it, then keep it for yourself. You don’t have to give it to others.”
When Xu Bao heard this, he solemnly said, “That won’t do. You haven’t seen Big Sis Chen’s sad look. She comes to find you every day. If I call you away, then it won’t be good.” “Although I like eating dried silver fish, I like you even more. Using dried silver fish in exchange for big brother’s food is still worth it.”
Wu Anguo’s heart softened when he heard this. Damn, even a little girl would get jealous. However, should he be happy or not? He was the same as a box of silver fish.
After working for the whole day, he was a little tired. He held the little girl in his arms and listened to her chattering about what she had done today, feeling the incoming cold wind. Wu Anguo tightened his grip on Xu Bao as he thought, Idiot, why would I leave you?
Nanjing, Liu Changshan had successfully become the commander of the Military Logistics Department of the Ministry of Defense, at the rank of lieutenant general. After the war in the Central Plains, the Nanjing government needed a large amount of military supplies. The purchasing of military supplies was definitely a waste, the oil and water between them was very abundant, but it was also not an easy job. In order to find good military supplies, one had to buy them from foreigners, but foreigners were different from Chinese.
This was the first big thing that General Liu had to do, and he had to do it beautifully. Not only that, he even wanted to make a huge profit out of it. At this moment, he thought of Wu Anguo.
Wu Anguo had always been serious when he was working under Wu Anguo, and he wasn’t greedy. What shouldn’t be taken away, he definitely wouldn’t touch Wu Anguo. Besides, he had such a silly wife.
No matter how he thought about it, Wu Anguo was still the best candidate. Furthermore, since he was at the customs, his connections must be very wide.
There was an emergency, so Commander Liu telegraphed Wu Anguo to come to Nanjing and tell him himself.
Having received the order from his old superior, Wu Anguo naturally did not dare to be negligent. In the end, he decided to go with Shiqing to Nanjing, where he would have his cousin watch over the customs.
Xu Bao was very reluctant to send his big brother on the train.
On the way back, he felt depressed, but he didn’t expect to run into a traffic jam.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the window. Xu Bao raised his head and saw that it was someone he did not know. He asked, “Is there something you need?”
That person bowed respectfully and said, “Miss Xu, Lord Du invites you in.”
In another luxurious car, one of Du Yuesheng’s trusted aides carefully asked, “Master Du, to create a traffic accident for such a thing, isn’t that a bit too much?”
Du Yuesheng turned the ring on her finger and said with a smile in a good mood, “Tian, have you ever heard of a saying that you need to go up if there are difficulties or if there are no difficulties? You also need to go up if there are difficulties.”
Tian was confused.
Du Yuesheng laughed and said, “No matter what men and women do, they are not stupid!”
Ah Tian shook his head to show that he did not understand, but carefully asked: “Is Master Du sure Miss Xu will come?”
Du Yuesheng laughed and said, “He’ll come. That little girl only has something to eat in her eyes.”
A’Tian remained silent. He had never seen Master Du so happy. Indeed … Soon, a little girl appeared.
A’Tian silently got off the car and stood by the roadside, acting as a traffic policeman.
Xu Bao laughed out loud as he got in the car: “Big Brother Du, what a coincidence, we even met you in traffic! You sure are energetic, eating delicious food and you actually called me over! ”
Du Yuesheng nodded with a smile and said, “Along the way.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a car on the road automatically drove away.
Xu Bao said complacently: “Big Brother Du, look at me, I’m here, so I won’t bet on the car anymore. Am I super lucky!?” “If you want to follow me, you’ll get lucky too. My dad always said that I was lucky.”
Du Yuesheng’s smile intensified as she said, “That’s right. If Little Treasure had gotten on earlier, this car would definitely not have been blocked.”
The driver at the front didn’t dare to have the slightest expression, but he was extremely surprised in his heart, thinking that Master Du had really changed his personality and was able to make the little girl happy. In order to create this traffic jam, his men had been exhausted for the whole morning.
The car slowly drove to a seemingly ordinary warehouse at the Lu family’s mouth. Although this place wasn’t bustling with the prosperity of the future, the advantage of being a port was already beginning to show. Du Yuesheng was also a Pudong person, so she was very attached to Pudong.
When Xu Bao heard Du Yuesheng say that this was the Lu family’s mouth and that there were broken houses everywhere, he didn’t look too good. He wondered what kind of delicious things Big Brother Du would bring him here for.
Du Yuesheng did not directly bring Xu Bao to eat. Instead, she entered the warehouse. Inside, there was a wire square cage set up one by one. It was as tall as a house, and there were all sorts of birds.
Xu Bao looked at the thing with his mouth wide open. Ever since he ate that one meter long bird in the mountains, he had never seen that thing again. He never expected Big Brother Du to have one here.
“Big Brother Du, can you eat all of this?” Xu Bao asked curiously.
Du Yuesheng smiled. This was exactly what that girl would ask. If it was those famous ladies from Shanghai, they would definitely say that these birds were very beautiful. Some of them would even talk about environmental protection.
“Of course you can. Didn’t you say that the Lu family has a lot of birds in their mouths and that it was very tasty?” I don’t know which one you like, so I’ll bring you to choose. ” Du Yuesheng said very gently.
The subordinate standing outside frowned. How could there be a bird in the Lu family’s mouth, these were all people sent into the mountains to capture them. They thought that Master Du would use them to receive foreign guests, but it turned out to be a woman.
Xu Bao was very happy to hear this. So Big Sis Qiu was not lying to her. The Lu family really had many delicious birds in their mouths.
She picked a bird with particularly long and beautiful feathers, a particularly fat and silly bird, and a bird with bright red claws. It was easy to tell that the claws were delicious.
Du Yuesheng waited for her to finish picking and told her subordinates to take it to the hotel to do so.
There was still some time before it was time to eat. Du Yuesheng and Xu Bao were standing next to the Pujiang River. Dressed in a long robe, he welcomed the river breeze and appeared very lonely.
Xu Bao tried very hard to follow him, hoping that he would be able to eat a little more later on.
Suddenly, Du Yuesheng stopped, and Xu Bao also stopped.
Du Yuesheng said, “Little Treasure, guess what I did in the beginning?”
Actually, everyone in Shanghai knew that he, Du Yuesheng, was initially just an apprentice who sold fruits.
Xu Bao replied without even thinking, “Of course Big Brother Du is mister. You look very learned and fierce. This student doesn’t know how to do it, but needs to be in the palm of his hand.”
Every time she stood in Pu Dong’s territory, Du Yuesheng would often think back to those ridiculous days. She always felt that she had missed many things and wanted more to make up for her empty heart.
He wanted to establish himself in Shanghai and make a name for himself.
However, after hearing Xu Bao’s words, he was overjoyed. That strange feeling suddenly disappeared. No one had ever dared to call him a teacher.
Du Yuesheng laughed loudly and said, “Alright, Little Treasure, you guessed right. Guess right, there’s a prize. In this Lu family’s territory, if you close your eyes and point to them, I’ll give you whatever you point to! ”
Ahead of them, a huge ship slowly approached the shore …
