Chapter 1184: The Romantic Girl Paired with Farming in the Republic of China (35)

During their lunch break, the employees gathered together to watch the Han brothers and sisters boxing, and they couldn’t help but get excited:

 “Xiao Han, can you teach me?”

"Okay! Come on, come on, Uncle Feng, stand behind me. I've just learned this move. I can defeat the enemy with one move."

“Xiaohui, what are you practicing? Can my daughter practice with you?”

“Okay, Aunt Mi, let’s practice together. Once you have mastered this boxing technique, you won’t be afraid of being bullied when you go out.”

"The world is not peaceful, and the girl should know how to fight."

“How about we practice together.”

Seeing that everyone was very interested in boxing, Xu Yin said with a smile: "Practice hard and let the union organize a martial arts competition next spring. I will give the first place to him/her a sword that can cut iron like clay."

The employees’ interest was aroused and they rushed to sign up:

 “I learn! I learn!”

 “My son and I also learn!”

 “Our whole family learns!”

　　　…”

I don’t know whether men, women, old and young all have a dream of becoming a martial artist, or whether the rewards offered by Xu Yin are more novel and attractive. In short, the employees in the factory have persisted in learning martial arts for a while.

Even in the winter, everyone still insists on entering the factory half an hour early to warm up by practicing martial arts. It is freezing and snowy outside, but under the eaves, in the canteen, and in the open space of the workshop... everyone is punching and kicking in a serious manner, which is quite interesting. It feels a bit like the students of later generations doing radio gymnastics during recess.

 The one who practices most seriously is undoubtedly Han Minghui.

 She wants the reward for first place—a sword.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a sword or not. It doesn’t matter whether it can cut iron like clay. What’s important is that it’s a sword! It is a sword that can make the children of Jianghu confidently travel to the ends of the world!

Ever since she found out that Boss Xu was a girl, she especially wanted to be like Boss Xu - a woman who could dress up as a man, come and go freely, and be confident in everything she did.

Others saw that the little girl from the Han family was practicing so seriously that she would not even be able to beat a little girl in a martial arts competition. Isn't it embarrassing?

The factory security guards saw that ordinary workers were working so hard, so they turned around and overtook them in the martial arts competition. Wouldn't it be a shame?

As a result, the atmosphere of boxing training became more intense, and the whole factory was competing all the time:

 Compete to see whose work efficiency is higher at work. After all, the rewards of performance awards are also very impressive. Compete to see who is more serious about boxing during breaks. Don’t compete for steamed buns to argue for breath.

When Shen Xijin and Xu Yin had a regular meeting, they gave her a thumbs up: "Boss Xu, this is a great trick! It not only boosts morale, but also gives everyone more self-defense skills."

Xu Yin glanced at him: "Then why don't you practice? Your second brother said that you lay at the desk all day long drawing blueprints, and ten cows couldn't pull you. It's harder to persuade you to practice boxing than to feed you medicine when you were a child."

 Shen Xijin: “…”

 Second brother, please keep your mouth shut and don't say anything outside. I don't want to lose face!

 …

When the horn of victory blew in Haicheng, Marshal Zhang wanted to put up a stubborn resistance at first, but he heard from his subordinates that the Haicheng Machinery Bureau had been stolen inexplicably, and the firearms and equipment in the ammunition depot disappeared overnight.

 He rolled his eyes and fainted.

After being poured with herbal tea by Adjutant Chen, he was still thinking about investigating the theft from the Machinery Bureau. Of course, he had to run away. However, Xu Yin warned in advance that there were people guarding each checkpoint. During this period, warlords running away with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were intercepted every three days to prevent the antique treasures left by their ancestors from being lost abroad.

The morning sun is rising slowly, and the dawn of victory has illuminated the whole country.

Shen Xijin accompanied Xu Yin to the street to watch the excitement. Feeling the joy of victory, she whispered in her ear: "Do you regret it?"

"What?"

 “If you had chosen to join, you would have been one of them today.”

Xu Yin smiled and asked him: "What about you? You have contributed so much equipment, but many people don't even know your name. Is it a pity?"

Shen Xijin looked at the turbid waves on the Huangpu River with far-reaching eyes: "My ideal is very simple. It is enough to have a place where I can draw blueprints and study the most sophisticated and beautiful weapons in the world..."

 He said less: she was by his side.

She has no choice but to always dress as a man. When will she be willing to change back to a girl?

Like the vast majority of people, Xu Yin stayed up all night, waiting to appreciate the dawn of this moment and witness the historic victory.

 She felt really sleepy after watching around. She stretched out a lot and said in a lazy tone: "You are not a fish, I know the joy of fish. You are not me, how do you know that I am different from you?"

Shen Xijin smiled, put her hands behind her back, and walked back slowly with her.

“Please! Please save my thirteenth aunt! She is still pregnant. If we don’t save her, one person will die and two people will die...”

A block away from the pharmacy, Xu Yin saw a woman with a big belly lying by the wall, and a little maid kneeling beside her, kowtowing to passers-by.

There were many passers-by watching, but no one offered a helping hand.

Someone in the crowd was saying, "This woman is Boss Wang's thirteenth aunt. Boss Wang was a Japanese spy. After being exposed by Fourth Master Luo, he ran away with his money and a pair of children from his original wife, leaving behind a group of concubines. This thirteenth aunt was the most favored when Boss Wang was around. When Boss Wang ran away, no one supported her, so she was kicked out by other concubines. Boss Wang was a spy. Who knows if his concubine was a spy? Is that so? Let’s not get involved, lest we fail to accomplish anything good and only make ourselves embarrassed."

"No, Aunt Thirteen is not a spy. She is a very kind person and treats our servants very well." The little maid kept kowtowing to the crowd, her forehead bled from the knock and her voice was choked with sobs, "Please Save her!"

"Hey, little girl, you are young and ignorant. A spy is not bound to be mean to your servants. Luo Sishao once said that spies do things that harm the interests of the country. She took Boss Wang's money and was generous to your servants. You Only then will you listen to her and help her."

"Exactly! And now that we are all liberated, where are the masters and servants? She still treats you as a subordinate, which shows that she is reactionary at heart."

"No...it won't happen..." The little maid couldn't explain clearly and was so anxious that she almost cried.

Xu Yun lay with a pale face and despair in her eyes. The hand on her stomach slowly moved down and held the little maid's hand. She endured the pain in her stomach and the torment in her heart and said hoarsely:

“Pearl, forget it, this child has no fate with me...You go ahead and take my handkerchief to Medicine Master’s Nunnery. There are my former good sisters there, and they will take you in. Leave me alone, I brought it upon myself..."

 “Thirteenth aunt…”

 “Please give way!” Xu Yin squeezed through the crowd, squatted down, and checked Xu Yun’s pulse.

Xu Yun saw that he was a young man and subconsciously wanted to take back his hand: "Don't, don't touch me!"

"Yunyun, it's me." Xu Yin lowered his voice to comfort her, "I'm Yin Yin. Don't worry, I will save you, and I will make sure that you, mother and son are safe."

　　　…”
