The living standards of Liu Cunren's family are getting worse and worse. If it weren't for Liu Ting's frequent support, they wouldn't even be able to open up the pot. However, most people have no rich relatives and can only pawn the things at home to buy rice to make ends meet, maintaining the lowest living standards. For a time, pawn shops and black markets became the most lively places.

Intellectuals were worried about the future of the country. The war situation in the north was their most concerned topic. In mid-March, Hu Zongnan, the chief of the Xi'an Pacification Office, conquered Yan'an, the old nest that had been entrenched for a long time, but did not hurt its main force. In April, Liu Bocheng's troops fought along the Jinpu Road, and the arteries in the north and south were interrupted. In May, the elite reorganized 74th Division of the ** was completely wiped out by the Communist Army's Huaye in Menglianggu, Mengyin, Shandong, and the division commander Lieutenant General Zhang Lingfu Cheng Ren.

In June, another explosive news came. The 15-year prison sentence of Sergeant Pearson, the chief culprit of the US military rape incident in Peking, was overturned by a US Navy judge and recommended that he be acquitted and restored his military status.

The soaring prices and years of civil war have made the students unable to bear it. Pearson's decision to be innocent has even worsened. Students from Peking, Shanghai and Nanjing took to the streets to march again, but the momentum is much weaker than before, because there are too many things to protest, which has distracted the energy.

In the provincial capital, Fenglin Road official residence, Chen Zikun was sitting in the study reading newspapers. The soft voice of the female announcer of Central Radio came from the radio: "** defeated the Communist bandits along the Pinghan Railway, and the enemy was wiped out and the victory was turned into..."

The newspaper also reported good news but not bad news everywhere. Chen Zikun threw the newspaper on the table, picked up his pipe and snorted coldly: "** lost twenty-five divisions, 300,000 people, no word on the newspaper was seen, and he covered his ears and stole the bell, and even a fool didn't believe it."

The orderlyman knocked in and handed in a telegram.

Chen Zikun glanced at him, overjoyed, and went upstairs to find Yao Yilei with the telegram: "Yan'er is coming back."

Yao Yilei snatched the telegram and looked at it. She only said that she would return home during the summer vacation and didn't even indicate the time. She burst into tears: "My miserable daughter finally remembered her mother. No, I want to pick her up in person."

Chen Zikun smiled and said, "Go, you all go, I'll stay at home."

So, Yao Yilei led the whole family to Shanghai to welcome her baby daughter. The family moved into the villa on Xiafei Road, and went to the dock all day to wait for the passenger ship from Hong Kong.

After waiting for half a month, Chen Bei came, but he heard that his sister had returned to China and took a leave to greet him. So Yao Yilei handed over this important task to Xiaobei and happily went shopping in the store.

Chen Bei drove his convertible car at home to the Bund. Steamers were moored on the Huangpu River. A large group of coolies carried bags of rice from the boat. They were disaster relief food transported by the United Nations. There were also many worn-out people waiting to board the ship. There were police and military police nearby on duty. After asking, they found out that they were deported Japanese expatriates.

After Japan's defeat, three million expatriates left in China, repatriation was a long process. Expatriates were only allowed to carry their own belongings, all bulk property was not allowed to be taken away, and cash and precious metals were also required. Everyone had to be searched by the police when boarding the ship. Unfortunately, these expatriates with a dream of making money came to China thousands of miles away, but left penniless. When they returned to China, they didn't know what kind of suffering was waiting for them.

Among the group of repatriated refugees, Major Takayoshi Hashimoto disguised himself as a Japanese businessman, with a family-born treasure sword, and his successful rift on the ship. The whistle sounded and looked back at China, and he couldn't help but sigh that the empire began to operate the mainland since the Meiji Restoration, first from North Korea, then Taiwan, Northeast China, and then the entire Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia. It captured a large territory, but it was finally a bubble.

The ship full of expatriates left the dock and began its journey back home. An American cargo ship with star-striped flags arrived on the shore. The ship was loaded with M3 Stuart light tanks and Dodge Ten-wheeler cards, as well as military leather boots sold as surplus war supplies.

Colonel Liu Xiaoyong from the Jiangdong Traffic Police Corps was on the dock. He was ordered to come and receive a batch of military uniforms he purchased. This was a bargain that Chen Zikun used his old relationship to buy. The cheap ones were like free delivery. When receiving the goods, a major wearing an American lapel jacket came to chat with him: "Sir, look at your uniform, it seems like a Jiangdong Traffic Police."

Liu Xiaoyong replied politely: "Yes, I come from Jiangdong."

The man said, "Inquiry, do you know Chen Bei?"

Liu Xiaoyong said: "Is it Chen Bei who is driving fighter jets in the Air Force? I know him and I am very familiar with you."

The man was very happy, so he saluted first, and then stretched out his hand: "Happy, I am Jiang Weiguo and Chen Bei's friend."

Liu Xiaoyong was shocked. It turned out that this Yingting Major was actually the second son of Chiang Kai-shek's family, and he was so polite, which was really unexpected.

Jiang Weiguo was here to receive the tank, and Liu Xiaoyong was also familiar with the tank. The two of them started to talk. When Mr. Jiang learned that Liu Xiaoyong had participated in the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of North and Thailand, he immediately felt awe-inspiring. While chatting, a young man in a short air force jacket walked up quickly and patted Jiang Weiguo's shoulder: "Brother Weiguo, it looks like you, it's really, oh, Liu Xiaoyong, you are here too."

The visitor was Air Force Captain Chen Bei. Jiang Weiguo was overjoyed and said, "What a coincidence, it will take some time for the dock to unload goods. Let's go there and smoke a cigarette."

Three young officers walked to the Bund Park. Jiang Weiguo took out the cigarette box, and only two were left. He first respected Colonel Liu, then Captain Chen, and went to the cigarette shop far away to buy cigarettes.

In the early summer season, the sun is bright and the grass is lush. There are so many tourists in the Bund Park, but they are all hiding from a group of playboys. These noble men in suits and leather ties and overalls are combed with oily hair and holding big dogs. They are arrogant and make noises. Suddenly, one of the fat guys stares at the two girls not far away, and smiles in a daze: "One Chinese and one foreign, complement each other, Mr. Second, you can see that the quality is OK."

Surrounded by everyone was a short man, domineering and waving his cane: "Well, not bad, Jinbao, call me here and take a look."

Qu Jinbao was overjoyed and said with a pride: "Two beautiful ladies, our second son, please come over and talk and make friends."

The two girls were taking photos when they suddenly saw a lustful fat man coming to meet him. They felt uncomfortable. The black-haired man refused politely and firmly: "I'm sorry, we're not interested."

Qu Jinbao said: "I'm interested when I go, I'll give you some face."

The girl pulled up another foreign girl and was about to leave. Qu Jinbao opened his arms and stopped her, and said with a smile: "Brother is from Yangzi Company. Have you heard of it? Take you to a department store and buy whatever you want."

Liu Xiaoyong and Chen Beizheng came over from not far away. When they saw the playboy and evil young man teasing the folk girl, they were a little indignant. Chen Bei looked closely and saw that the one who was teased was his sister Yan'er. He was furious and rushed over and slapped Qu Jinbao in the face.

Qu Jinbao covered his face and glared. Seeing that the other party was two officers and was carrying a gun, the hero did not suffer any loss in front of him and ran away.

"Yan'er, is it you?" Chen Bei was still a little reluctant to admit that his sister had changed, and his girl had changed a lot and became more and more beautiful.

Yan'er recognized her brother and rushed forward and kept shouting.

The American girl next to her is also an acquaintance, Elizabeth Stanley.

"Mr. Second Mr." and others in the distance saw Jin Bao being beaten up, and immediately came up fiercely. The bodyguards surrounded them from both sides, lifted up their suit tops, and exposed the handle of the gun.

Chen Bei was not afraid and went forward to negotiate. Both sides reported their names. It turned out that the other party was Kong Lingjun, the second lady of Kong Xiangxi's family. He was really lawless. In addition, the Kong family and the Chen family had always had conflicts and met on a narrow road, so they would not be able to argue for their strengths.

Kong Lingjun winked. A bodyguard secretly drew his gun. Liu Xiaoyong had long seen it. People who have experienced it on the flesh and blood battlefield are not comparable to those of these wine bags. Liu Xiaoyong immediately drew his gun and shot, hitting the bodyguard's wrist.

A gunfight began. Both sides fired at a distance of more than ten meters. Kong Lingjun released the dog. Four evil dogs spitted blood-red tongues, which scared Yan'er and Elizabeth so much that they lost their appearance. Chen Bei raised the gun and fired. A burst of smoke, and the four dogs were lying on the ground and twitched, and they quickly died.

When Jiang Weiguo, who had just returned from buying cigarettes, saw the two brothers and people refuting the fire, he immediately summoned his subordinates from the dock. A platoon of armored soldiers came to reinforce with M3 submachine guns.

Kong Lingjun has many people and guns, but he may not have the upper hand. Chen Bei has outstanding shooting skills. He hits wherever he points a Colt revolver. Liu Xiaoyong uses a Canadian-made Browning power pistol with 13 bullets. He has a lot of fire. If he hadn't taken care of the two girls, he would have launched an attack long ago.

The armored soldiers surrounded him, and the submachine guns rushed towards the sky. The bodyguards of the Yangtze Company calmed down. Jiang Weiguo waved his hand and the soldiers went up to tie people. At this moment, the police and military police arrived. After asking, they found out that they were all unaffected people, including Kong Xiangxi's daughter, Chen Zikun's sons, and the second son of the Jiang family. This was a mess and no one could speak well.

In the chaos, a key with the hotel door sign fell out of Yan'er's pocket, and Qu Jinbao quietly picked it up.

Fortunately, Jiang Weiguo is good at being a human being. Although he has no blood relationship, Kong Lingjun is also his cousin, so it is a misunderstanding to smooth things over. Let's take a step back.

Kong Lingjun was unreasonable and unforgivable: "Why forget it? I have three people and four dogs killed me, and I want them to pay their lives."

Chen Bei was extremely arrogant: "Who are you? A monster who is neither male nor female? I punch you in this ugly face."

Kong Lingjun is indeed not handsome and has not yet been married. This is her most taboo topic. Chen Bei's words are extremely vicious. The second lady of the Kong family was angry and jumped and scolded in a duck voice: "My surname is Chen, I am incompatible with you. If you don't kill your whole family, I won't be Kong."

Chen Bei held his arms and said contemptuously: "Come on, you can't even reach me even when you step on the bench."

"Still talk about peace, don't say anything." Jiang Weiguo continued to smooth things over. At this time, a team of armed traffic police brought by Liu Xiaoyong on the dock also came. The bullet was loaded and the nose was wide open. Kong Lingjun's eyes turned and suddenly changed his face: "Okay, I'll give Brother Weiguo face, let's go."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The playboy is hard to deal with, and Miss Kong Er is even more of a playboy. No one can afford to offend her if she has a temper and dares to kill the police.

Jiang Weiguo was helpless: "What a convention to refute the fire in the street? I want to report this to my father."

The military police captain next to him said, "The second young master, Miss Kong Er has been blocking fire in the street. Last time, the third young master who was in Chongqing Central Park and Yunnan Wang Longyun in Chongqing was disagreement and drew his gun toward each other, killing many innocent passers-by, but it was still in vain."

After such a fight, no one had the intention to play anymore. Fortunately, Chen Bei got his sister and said, "Yan'er, come home with me quickly. Aunt Yao misses you to death."

Yan'er said, "No, I want to go back to the hotel to get my luggage first, and there is a friend here."

Chen Beidao: "Is it your boyfriend?"

Yan'er said: "No, it's my Harvard classmate Mary."

Elizabeth added: "It's Mary Margaret Truman."

"Oh, where is my key." Yan'er exclaimed as she touched her pocket,
