News in newspapers changes every day.

Today, something happened to a politician, and it was placed on the front page and widely circulated. Tomorrow, it may be a scandal of a movie star.

The chaotic situation has spawned an atmosphere of anxiety and uneasiness.

There is no smile on the faces of the people. They are full of luxury and wealth, and only those who are rich and powerful.

Prices soared, and the people had already been bent by the firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the plunder and oppression from Japanese invaders.

Resistance always comes at a price.

Japanese newspapers clamor to punish anti-Japanese elements every day, killing people every few days, but why do people kill more and more, but the resistance never stops?

The invaders will not think about why, because killing is the least necessary to use their brains. With a wave of the knife and a trigger, a life disappears like this.

Even, they can get a pathological pleasure from killing people.

This can no longer be considered human.

The atmosphere in the concession became increasingly tense. After Jiang Xiao'an became the mayor of the pseudo Shanghai, he really worked very hard and his economic control was strengthened.

The Japanese seemed very satisfied and wrote articles in the newspaper to commend this traitor as a model of friendly support for the "Japanese branch".

Being a "model" comes at a price.

Since taking office, not only those who were still unable to implement the plan, there have been seven or eight people who blocked the road and assassinated Jiang Xiao'an, some people who intend to poison, bombs, etc.

Many people were arrested, including passionate young students, gang members, and veterans who had participated in the Battle of Songhu and remained in Shanghai due to injuries...

In addition to Jiang Xiao'an himself, his group of friends, who were in the pseudo-Shanghai Municipal Government, were more or less assassinated.

Zhou Wenrui, director of the Finance Bureau of the pseudo-Shanghai Municipal Government, and Jiang Xiao'an's direct descendant, was assassinated on Wangping Street, Sima Road and was seriously injured and unconscious.

Li Jinbiao, who was the pseudo-Peace Movement Promotion Committee, was also stabbed.

...

Since the establishment of this pseudo-Shanghai Special Municipal Government, dozens of traitors of all sizes emerged, and these people naturally became the targets of the anti-Japanese anti-traitor organization.

The confidants under his command have suffered repeated surprises, and Jiang Xiao'an himself has encountered unexpected problems from time to time, especially the constant harassment.

This made him find an excuse to constantly use the Japanese as the backstage and put pressure on the two bureaus of the Concession, requiring the Chinese police and Japanese military police to enter the Concession to arrest anti-Japanese terrorists.

The public concession has already let go. Police in the Chinese concession can enter the concession to arrest people, but must wear plainclothes or carry weapons. However, the arrest operation must be notified to the Public Concession Police Department.

However, prisoners arrested in the concession need to be extraditioned before they can be taken away.

This is actually a fig leaf.

As long as one opening is made, then the Japanese plainclothes and the spies who hold the Shanghai Japanese military police will be able to run rampant in the concession.

It can be predicted what kind of bloody storm will be caused in the concession in the future.

As time comes, the autumn rains are getting colder and the weather is getting colder every day. Meng Fanxing takes Lao Mengtou to Lu Mansion to live.

Meng Hao naturally followed him.

There were so many people at home.

"Brother Anzi, our father has the old problem of asthma and his old cold legs. I want to buy him a fox fur mattress. In addition, I found out that a tonic prescription was made into a tonic plaster. It cannot eradicate the roots and can also relieve symptoms. The two add up to a lot of money..."

"Is there not enough money in our family?" Lu Xiyan rarely cares about the family's financial situation now, and Meng Fanxing is taking care of it.

He is only sensitive to numbers, but not money. For him, it is enough. He does not pursue enjoyment, but only needs it when necessary.

"The salary of you and me, plus some other extra income, is almost enough." Meng Fanxing nodded.

"Where is the company's money?"

"I have used the company's money to open a branch. Our family now has three Anping pharmacies in Shanghai and one in Hong Kong. In the future, we plan to open one in Chongqing, Kunming and Chengdu." Meng Fanxing said.

"Yes, it seems that you have such great skills in management." Lu Xiyan was a little surprised. These days, he had basically let go of the company.

Unexpectedly, Meng Fanxing actually had such great ambitions.

"I didn't expect that in the past, I thought capitalists were all exploiting classes. Now I realized that if there were no them, how our goods would be circulated and everyone would make a living by relying on the heavens, how could this society progress and develop?" Meng Fanxing said.

"It seems that if you are the general manager of Meng'an Company or learn from the knowledge. Since the birth of ethnic groups, humans have actually started business activities. From the beginning of bartering to the birth of currency transactions, the status of merchants has always been at the bottom of society and is not valued. They think they are gained for nothing. In fact, it is not. It is precisely because of them that our society has been promoted and developed. Capitalists are the Western definition of industrial and commercial practitioners. In my opinion, ordinary merchants or factory owners cannot be confused with capitalists..."

"Brother Anzi, what you said seems to make sense."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about your homework. Is it difficult?" Lu Xiyan smiled. This topic is too serious.

"It's okay, my grades have always been at the middle level in the class." Meng Fanxing said. She has a weak foundation, has interrupted her studies and has many chores. She is already quite satisfied with being able to reach this level.

"I'm still worried that your homework will not work, so I plan to say hello to your teacher and ask them to let you go a little bit of water." Lu Xiyan said.

Meng Fanxing’s future is not a pharmacy in the hospital, so even if his grades are a little worse, it doesn’t matter, as long as he can graduate smoothly.

"The fifth day of this month is the weekend. We accompany our dad to the department store to check it out. We simply buy two more sets of winter clothes for our dad. I see that the house is old and it will definitely not be close to the body and not warm." Lu Xiyan said.

"Well, but in this way, our expenses this month will exceed them again." Meng Fanxing frowned slightly.

"This fee cannot be calculated like this. If you buy clothes this month, you won't have to buy them next month. Our life is okay now and you can't let people gossip." Lu Xiyan said, "We don't want to be a fool, but we need face, otherwise, it will not be in line with our identity."

"You always make sense." Meng Fanxing twisted his pen cap and said, "No, I'll just settle the whole account by the end of the year."

"That's right. As long as we don't spend money indiscriminately, all the money is spent on the blade." Lu Xiyan said.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Meng Fanxing stopped Lu Xiyan who was walking out.

"What else is there?"

"Dad always thought we were sleeping together..." Meng Fanxing said with a blushing face.

"This is the matter?" Lu Xiyan was also in trouble. He was 100% willing, but he could not go against Meng Fanxing's wishes.

Besides, their affairs are not something that can be decided casually.

"Although we are engaged, we always live in the same house, under the melon field, and we are inevitably gossiped about it." Meng Fanxing said.

"I am filial to me. If I keep filial piety during the mourning period and do not do weddings, it is also a kind of respect for my ancestors. This has been the case since ancient times." Lu Xiyan said, "Is it because someone is gossiping behind his back?"

"There are some truths, but what they said makes some sense. Although we have set the title, it is not good to have some unclear things like this?"

Lu Xiyan frowned. This is really a problem. If he is afraid of people's words and asks Meng Fanxing to move away from here, it will probably cause more rumors.

"Meimei, what do you think?" Lu Xiyan asked seriously. He had to know clearly what Meng Fanxing thoughts were.

"I……"

Lu Xiyan really wanted to give herself a big mouth. How could a woman say such a thing? She hurriedly said, "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"We can get on the bus first and then make up for the ticket." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"What should I get on the bus first and then get the ticket?"

"Meimei, listen to me, this means getting on the bus first and then replenishing the ticket. I will get the marriage certificate first and then handle the wedding later. In this way, even if we are legal couples, living together will naturally be natural." Lu Xiyan said.

"Then what you mean is that we are getting married?" Meng Fanxing asked blankly.

"Yes, after getting a marriage certificate, we are legal couples, and this is protected by law." Lu Xiyan smiled.

Why am I so stupid? It took me almost half a year to think of such a good method. I was so stupid.

"Tomorrow, we will do this, the sooner the better!"

"Don't be so anxious, I'm not ready yet..." Meng Fanxing blushed. After getting along for half a year, she had already had a heart on Lu Xiyan. It can be said that the right and wrong will not marry, but those who work like her have to go through organizational procedures to get married.

If you are a comrade in the party, as long as the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, you will be willing to do it, unless it is a special work factor.

If you are outside the party, it will require some review. After all, Meng Fanxing is doing underground work, and the nature of the work must be considered whether the marriage life will have an impact on her, etc.

"No, no, I know, you have discipline. If your organization agrees, then we will get the certificate. If you don't agree, then we will find another way, okay?" Lu Xiyan said.

"Okay, okay..." Meng Fanxing nodded.

Lu Xiyan returned to his room, lay on the bed, facing the ceiling, and had a silly night. When he got up the next day, he was wearing two huge panda eyes.

However, Meng Fanxing was not much better either.

In the morning, the two met in the bathroom and couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw each other's appearance.

At noon, Lu Xiyan made an appointment with Hu Yunzhi, and the major event that concerns his lifelong happiness could not be delayed for a moment.

"I just got a little clue. What did you ask me to do in a hurry?" Hu Yunzhi said dissatisfied. For the "Fenn" matter, he has been running around for the past two days, trying to find a way.

"I'm going to get married."

"Puff..." Hu Yun's mouth of hot tea spurted out before it even reached his throat.

"What's wrong, Lao Hu, do you need to be that surprised when I get married?"

"No, who are you getting married?"

"Are you so confused? I got married, of course, I am with my fiancée. Could it be that I just caught a woman from the street and got married?" Lu Xiyan asked back.

"Meng Fanxing?"

"Um."

"As far as I know, Meng Fanxing's background is a bit unusual. Why did you suddenly remember to marry her at this time?" Hu Yunzhi asked.
