Chapter 12: Photography
“Take a photo?”
"Yes, I want to take a family photo while I can still move. I think we will take a photo of it. Your mother wanted to take one before she died, but it's a pity that she went too early." Meng Xiangsheng said that the mother of the two siblings had a little red eyes.
Although the two of them were united according to their parents' orders, they had been in love for more than 20 years and had both had a gentle temper and could tolerate him.
"No, Dad, where can we take photos of this New Year?"
"There is a photo studio on Betton Road. I know the photographer there and have a good relationship." The old man waved his hand and said, "Just come with me."
"Xiao Anzi, you are together."
"Uncle, do you take the family photo, is it appropriate for me..." Lu Xiyan was stunned. What's the matter next to me if your family took the family photo?
"Why is it not suitable? Xiao Anzi, do you not recognize me as my uncle?"
"Yes, Brother Anzi, you and my sister have been married to you as a child. Should you change your words and call you brother-in-law in the future?" Meng Hao smiled and didn't bother to watch the fun.
"Haozi, Meimei and I have just confirmed our relationship."
"I'm so rude, don't I look like a man?" The old man's face fell down.
"Go, can't I go?"
Damei Photo Studio.
The boss’s surname is Gu, a very fashionable little old man, who is a chess friend of Meng Xiangsheng. Of course, he is a pair of bad chess players.
...
"Meimei, do you take a photo with Xiao Anzi alone?"
"Uncle, dad..." Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing both looked embarrassed. They agreed to have a relationship with each other, but it was temporary and could not be taken seriously. Take photos together.
When outsiders saw it, isn’t this a misunderstanding?
"What, someone is about to get engaged, what's wrong with taking a photo?"
"Brother Anzi, sister, our father is happy today. You two will take a photo together. When you were young, didn't you take photos together?" Meng Hao urged.
Can you compare now with your childhood?
"Meimei, why don't we take one photo?" Lu Xiyan looked over. As long as he was open and selfless, why not be afraid of what outsiders said?
"Yes." Meng Fanxing's cheeks turned slightly red and he nodded.
"Come on, get closer, yes, Doctor Lu, your right hand is a little more natural, just like that, it's great, laugh..."
"Inspector Meng, your son-in-law is really good. I heard that he came back from studying abroad?"
"Yes, it's not bad. He and Meimei grew up together since childhood. He was called childhood sweetheart..." The old man was very proud.
...
Lu Xiyan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he found an excuse to "smoke" and came out.
"Doctor Lu, we're meeting again!"
This is really a ghost. When Lu Xiyan suddenly heard this sound, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Asano Ichiro.
"Mr. Asano, you Japanese have nothing to do when you are full. What are you doing when you are a doctor?" Lu Xiyan said angrily, "Did I break the law or kill someone? Otherwise, you arrest me?"
"I'm sorry, Doctor Lu, I'm really embarrassed to disturb you. We do have some things that I hope you can cooperate with us." Asano Ichiro knew that this was the French Concession, not a place where he could do whatever he wanted.
"I said everything you want to know, Mr. Asano, what else do you want?"
"Did Doctor Lu went out to an emergency room last night?" Asano Ichiro looked at Lu Xiyan and felt suspicious. Is he really the underground party "woodpecker" mentioned by Yunko Takeuchi?
"Yes." Lu Xiyan answered frankly.
"Who is the other party?" Asano Ichiro was slightly stunned, thinking that Lu Xiyan would cover it up.
"Of course it's my patient."
"Who is your patient? Can you tell me his identity and address?"
"I have no idea."
"Baga, you don't know..."
"Nakamura, don't scare Dr. Lu!"
"Doctor Lu, your attitude is not good for both of us." Asano Ichiro said with a slight displeasure.
"You can still recognize the way with your eyes blindfolded?"
"Does Lu still remember what the patient looks like?"
Lu Xiyan nodded. He knew that what he didn't say was, Ichiro Asano would not let him go. Excuses such as patient privacy were probably useless to him. Anyway, he did not disclose the whereabouts of the group.
"Are they?" Asano Ichiro ordered people to come over and paint the portrait.
"It's a bit like that. I didn't pay much attention to others at that time, and I couldn't be completely sure." Lu Xiyan looked at it.
"Look carefully." Nakamura shouted.
Lu Xiyan simply turned his head and stopped talking.
"Thank you, Dr. Lu, for disturbing me." Asano Ichiro glared at Nakamura, feeling a little disappointed. Before leaving, he bowed slightly and left the photo studio with his people.
"Xiao An, these Japanese..."
"Uncle, they just learned about a patient's condition from me, and it has nothing to do with me. Don't worry," Lu Xiyan explained comfortably.
"It doesn't matter. You must not get along with these Japanese people. They are a group of beasts in human skin!"
"I understand, uncle, let's go back first."
"Dad, Brother An Zi is the only one in the clinic..."
"I got it, you go. I'm used to being at home alone. Isn't your brother still at home?"
...
"Brother Anzi, I..."
"I understand, be careful. When uncle asks, I will say that you have been staying in the clinic in the afternoon and being with me." Lu Xiyan said.
"Thank you, Brother Anzi."
Lu Xiyan returned to the clinic alone.
Looking back at what happened these days, he felt that the French Concession would not be peaceful next, and he missed the comfortable time in France.
But although Europe is calm, it is also undercurrents, and the clouds of war cover the sky above Europe.
When will this troubled times end?
Both of his parents died in the bombing of the Japanese. How could Lu Xiyan not hate him? But can he take revenge with just his hands?
"An'er, An'er..."
Lu Xiyan was sweating all over. He was really unfilial and had not revenged his parents, so he actually thought about finding a place to live a comfortable life.
How can there be a comfortable life in this world?
During the Chinese New Year, Chinese people are particular about it. If it is not an emergency, they will never come to see a doctor. Therefore, there were no patients in this afternoon.
He agreed to go back for dinner, so he had to wait until Meng Fanxing came back.
It was not until it was almost dark that I saw Meng Fanxing push open the clinic door and come in.
My face turned blue and white.
"Drink a little hot water to warm your body." Lu Xiyan quickly poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.
"Thanks."
"How is it, contacted?"
Meng Fanxing shook her head, missing the time and place, and it was quite difficult to contact her again. She was now like a kite with a broken string.
"If you think about it again, what else can you do?"
"Wait for the superiors to contact us, or have a radio station."
"Radio?" Lu Xiyan frowned slightly. This is a controlled item, and it is important to be precious. Ordinary people can't get this thing at all.
"It really doesn't work, I'll go to the newspaper again..."
"No, the Japanese have now set their sights on me and will probably conduct a thorough investigation of you. If you go to the newspaper to log in to a missing person notice, they may also be able to grasp it. Once you take action, they are afraid that they will never let you go."
"What should I do?"
"I will log in after logging in the previous missing person notice. This is just a small flaw and it's no big deal. As long as you don't have any extraordinary actions next, they won't be able to catch your handle." Lu Xiyan analyzed.
"Brother An Zi, then I can only wait now?" Meng Fanxing was anxious because he lost contact with his superiors and could not convey the information.
"I'll find a way to do the radio. In the past few days, you won't go out again and stay in the clinic with peace of mind." Lu Xiyan said solemnly.
"What can you do?" Meng Fanxing asked in surprise.
"No matter what, I have studied in France, and this is the French Concession. As long as I am willing to use my brain, I can always think of a solution." Lu Xiyan said.
"Change your shoes quickly. Are your father still waiting for us to go back for dinner?"
"Oh." Seeing his pair of shoes that were so muddy on both sides, Meng Fanxing quickly agreed and said intimately, "I feel so delicate."
If you put your legs back, you will probably be discovered.
Lu Xiyan calculated that Meng Fanxing had walked at least forty miles back and forth in this afternoon, which was definitely not an easy task for a girl.
