Section 40
"What's the point? We have heard of Comrade Li Wei's contribution to the anti-Japanese war. I really admire him." The shopkeeper of the pharmacy shop learned about Li Wei from somewhere.
"May I ask, the shopkeeper is your surname?" Li Wei then remembered that he forgot to ask the shopkeeper's name. He had some understanding of the shopkeeper's affairs. He was not surprised that his superiors would always inform the relevant personnel involved in the mission of part of his background.
"My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Qing. I have been a party member for four years. For work needs, you can call me Manager Lin. Who is the person outside the door?" Manager Lin said cautiously. His subordinates had told him through gestures and winks that Li Wei came this time with another person, and the organization only said that Li Wei came alone.
"Oh, the one who came with me outside was named Fan Guowen. He was a returning overseas Chinese who was in trouble and was separated from his parents. He happened to meet him on the way. Seeing that he had nowhere to go and could not survive, he took him with him by the way. He just needed to find his parents and handed him back. He didn't know my task." Li Wei explained that as a person outside the organization, he was still vigilant and confidential.
"Okay, I know what to do now. I have arranged your residence. Is it in our own comrade's courtyard in the east of the city? Is Mr. Gu living with you or I will help him with another arrangement?" said Manager Lin.
"Live together, divide it into two rooms. If you have time, please pay attention to it and help find out where his parents are. Also, if we have any information this time, I need to be familiar with it." Li Wei continued to say after deciding where to stay.
"This is the information from the School of Engineering of Northwest United University. Several underground party members have been developed in the student union. We can cooperate with you to select talents. We have arranged admission for you. It is not allowed to be admitted. Do you need to use a pseudonym?" Manager Lin handed over more than a dozen pieces of paper. He was obviously careful and had arranged the details of Li Wei.
The biggest advantage of universities during the Anti-Japanese War was that they did not pay tuition fees, just pay some books and food fees, and there was no limit on the status of students who were admitted to school. Regardless of family background, you could go to college by passing the entrance exam.
Li Wei looked carefully at the information, and it was written in detail. Then he looked up and said, "Very good. This information is very useful. I don't want a pseudonym, so I use the original name. There are many people in the world who call Li Wei. There are also people who don't want to be admitted directly. They have to take the exam directly. The admission student is too eye-catching." After reading the information, he took out the ZIPPO lighter he brought from Hyundai, made a very handsome ignition gesture, and gently lit the information until it turned into ashes.
"Are you sure this is OK? What if you fail the exam?" Manager Lin was worried. There seemed to be not many people in the Eighth Route Army who could read and write. Although it was sent by superiors, doing military engineering is one thing, and taking college entrance examinations is another.
"Don't worry, will I not even have this confidence?" Li Wei smiled faintly. In modern Chinese universities, the knowledge content is already very good, and for those who can play linear algebra and calculus, they have even read books from modern universities, and are afraid that they will not be able to get into such a university with only a modern high school level.
"Okay, I'll do it right away. Let's have someone take you to your residence to settle down first." Manager Lin calmed down. It seemed that the quality of the people sent by his superiors was indeed different.
Li Wei pulled Fan Guowen, who was impatient at the door and a pharmacy shop's friend, to go to the pre-arranged residence.
As a temporary residence for university life in Chenggu County, the landlord is a barber with his surname Jin and has good haircutting skills. The first floor of the house is his barber shop. He is a friend whom the pharmacy shop owner Lin played together when he was young. Although he was not a party member, he also worked for the organization and used the barber shop to cover the organization's reception and hiding work.
Thank you for farewell to the pharmacy shop's staff. Under the leadership of Master Jin, Li Wei arranged to live in a small attic on the second floor, and Fan Guowen was arranged to be in a single room next to him. However, seeing Fan Guowen's dirty look, Master Jin and his wife fed hot water to take a shower and change clothes.
Li Wei looked at the small house. The window on one side was right on the street. There was a desk and a few chairs in front of the window, and a temporary wooden bed was set up next to it. It was late May, and mosquitoes were rampant. There were mosquito nets on the bed, and all the washbasins, towels and mats were available.
After two circles inside the house, he found a relatively secret place at several rafters on the roof of the attic, took out the weapon parts in the suitcase and stored them in it, then cleaned up and sprinkled them with dust and camouflaged them.
This is a knock on the door outside the room.
Li Wei opened the door and saw that it was the landlord, Master Jin, who was standing at the door with something in hand.
"Master Jin, please come in, please come in." Li Wei hurriedly asked Master Jin to come in.
"Okay, OK, Comrade Li, the place here is a little smaller. Don't be polite, just treat it as your own home." Master Jin was very enthusiastic.
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Jin for more time." Li Wei said politely.
"This is the application certificate for Chenggu County Middle School. The exam will not start three days later. There are some review textbooks, so you can also use it. Let's take a break today. There is still some food in the kitchen. I'll serve you first." Master Jin put the bowl on the square table in the middle of the house.
"Well, I'm really troubled Master Jin." Li Wei looked at the steaming white rice in the bowl on the table, with some pickles sprinkled on it, and a golden and attractive poached egg. It made Li Wei's index finger tremble. He didn't eat much along the way. The special rice with the added dishes made him pull up his chopsticks and pick it up without hesitation.
"How old is Comrade Li this year?" Master Jin looked at Li Wei who was eating voraciously.
"Nineteen!" Li Wei said without raising his head. The white rice and poached eggs that he hadn't eaten for a long time had a special temptation.
