I haven't been to the internet cafe for a long time. The keyboard felt unfamiliar to me, but I still wrote a chapter and didn't stop updating. I don't know when my family will call …

It was lunchtime when he walked into the coal factory. Every worker was holding a big bowl of white rice with a pinch of pickled vegetables and a few stalks of green vegetables. They were also holding a fist-sized sweet potato in their hands. Such meals were ordered by Ye Xuan. One must know that the meals in many factories nowadays consisted of a sweet potato and, at most, a small bowl of rice with very few grains. Nobody knew whether it should be called porridge or rice soup. Along the way, Ye Xuan saw many workers taking out a bag and putting half a bowl of rice and half a sweet potato into it. It seemed like they were going to bring it home for their families.
"Hello, Master Xuan!"
"Hello, Master Xuan!"
… …
"Hello! Hello! … "
Many of the workers at the Dojo Street greeted Ye Xuan when they saw him. Ye Xuan also nodded to them in return.
"Ah Hsuan!" A shout came from afar. Ye Xuan looked up and saw Martial Addict Lin waving a sweet potato on a small pile of coal not far away. Ye Wen, who was beside him, stood up as well. Both their faces and bodies were covered in black. It was almost impossible to recognize them from afar.
"Martial Addict Lin, Brother Wen!" Ye Xuan walked to the side of the two and smiled.
"Why are you here, Ah Hsuan?" Ye Wen asked with a shy smile. Other than his eyes, the only thing that could be seen on his blackened face were two rows of white teeth.
"I know the owner of this coal factory. I heard that you were here, so I came to take a look." Ye Xuan smiled. He didn't say that this coal factory was actually his. He paused and asked Martial Addict Lin, "Martial Addict Lin, how have you been?"
"Sigh, what else can I do? That's it!" Martial Addict Lin sighed, spread out his hands, and looked down at his clothes that were stained black with coal. Then he said with a ferocious expression, "It's all because of those damn Japanese. They robbed the restaurant as soon as they entered the city. They even set it on fire a month ago. Those sons of b * tches."
Ye Xuan let out a sigh when he heard what happened to the Martial Addict Forest Restaurant. He had also stayed in that restaurant for two months. He reached out and patted the Martial Addict Forest Restaurant before asking, "Where's your younger brother Sha Dantian? How is he now?"
"That stinking brat? That brat might still be sleeping at home. Foshan is so chaotic now, it's not easy to find a job … "As Wu Chi Lin spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Ye Xuan. He said," Ah Hsuan, you just said that you know the boss of this coal plant. Can you talk to him and let my brother work here? Don't worry, although that brat is usually idle, he still has some strength. He definitely won't slack off when working. "
"Okay, I will try to talk to him. If it doesn't work out, don't blame me for it!" Hearing Wu Chi Lin's request, Ye Xuan smiled and agreed to try without any hesitation. Of course, if he mentioned it to Uncle Gen, Uncle Gen would definitely not object.
"Thank you, thank you, Ah Hsuan, thank you …" Hearing that Ye Xuan was willing to help, Wu Chi Lin thanked him profusely. Nowadays, many people in Foshan didn't have enough to eat. Although this coal plant was a bit dirty, it could actually provide enough to eat. This was a job that many people in Foshan yearned for.
"You're welcome, Wu Chi Lin. Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold!" Ye Xuan gestured to Wu Chi Lin to not be so polite. He then turned his head and looked at Ye Wen, who was standing at the side. "Brother Wen, let's sit down."
After saying that, he didn't mind the dirty coal on the ground and casually sat down. Seeing that Ye Xuan was wearing clean clothes, the two of them casually sat down too.
"Ah Hsuan, have you eaten?" Ye Wen sat down, looked at the bowl in his hand, and asked Ye Xuan. Actually, he was just being polite. Here, he knew Ye Xuan's business the best. Just the food that was given to his family was enough to last them for half a year.
"I've eaten, Brother Wen!" Ye Xuan smiled and waved his hand, then asked, "Brother Wen, why are you working here? Is there not enough food at home? I'll ask someone to send you some later."
"Enough, enough! There's no need, Ah Hsuan. There's already a lot of those things, really! "Ye Wen was afraid that Ye Xuan would misunderstand, so he quickly shook his head.
"Then, is there anything I can help you with? Brother Wen, we've known each other for so long. If there's anything, don't stand on ceremony. Otherwise, you're not treating me as a friend. " Although Ye Xuan already knew about Ye Wen's family, if Ye Wen didn't say it, he couldn't say it either. Otherwise, Ye Wen might misunderstand and say that he was spying on his family.
"Actually, sigh, it's nothing much. It's just that Yongcheng is sick. I don't have any money on me. I originally wanted to see if I could earn some money to buy some medicine for her …" A painful expression flashed across Ye Wen's face. In the past, as a rich second generation, he didn't know the difficulties of earning money. He only thought about boxing. Only today did he know the difficulties of the world.
"What? Sister-in-law is sick? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Let's go back quickly. I'll ask someone to find a doctor. "Ye Xuan stood up and pulled Ye Wen to leave.
"Ah Hsuan, thank you. However, there's no need to rush. Yongcheng just caught a cold at night. I cooked a bowl of ginger soup for her to drink. She should be fine after she sweats a little." Seeing that Ye Xuan seemed to be more anxious than him, Ye Wen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He felt that he was really lucky to be able to make a friend like Ye Xuan in this lifetime.
"Caught a cold? That's not to be belittled. I … "
"There are Japanese soldiers!"
"The Japanese soldiers are here!"
… …
Just as Ye Xuan was about to pull Ye Wen back, two Japanese military vehicles suddenly drove over from the entrance of the coal factory. The vehicles were filled with Japanese soldiers holding large mattresses.
Seeing the two Japanese military vehicles, Ye Xuan's face darkened.
The Japanese vehicles drove in casually and stopped in the middle of the coal factory. The door of the first vehicle opened. A man in a grey suit with glossy hair walked out first with a top hat in his hand.
"Li Zhao?" Ye Wen frowned when he saw the man who got out of the Japanese vehicle first.
After Li Zhao got out of the car, he didn't leave. Instead, he opened all the doors and greeted the next Japanese man with a protruding mouth and ape-like chin with a charming smile.
"Fellow workers!" Li Zhao walked to the middle of the coal factory and looked at the workers who were eating. With a smug expression, he pointed at the Japanese man beside him and said loudly, "This is Colonel Zuo Teng. Colonel Zuo Teng said that he admires Chinese Kung Fu and knows that Foshan is the hometown of Kung Fu. He wants to find some Chinese people who know Kung Fu to spar with the Japanese. Is there anyone who wants to go? Is there anyone who wants to go?!"
All the workers remained silent and looked at Li Zhao with disdain.
"Is there anyone who wants to go?!" Seeing that there was no response, Li Zhao shouted again. His eyes looked around the coal factory. Suddenly, his gaze stopped at a corner of the coal yard. An appreciative smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Ye! Master Ye! "
Li Zhao was delighted to see acquaintances. He lifted his feet and walked over, intending to greet Ye Xuan and Ye Wen.
"Hey, hey, hey, you want us to be their punching bags? Let me tell you, no way! "One of the workers from the Dojo Street stopped Li Zhao and said angrily.
Li Zhao looked at this person and recognized that he was also a worker from the Dojo Street. He whispered to him, "Idiot, if you win, you will get a bag of rice!"
"If you win, you will get a bag of rice!" Li Zhao threw out the bait again.
"I'll go!" At this moment, Martial Addict Lin suddenly stood up and said.
"Hey, Martial Addict Lin, don't cause trouble!" Ye Wen looked at Martial Addict Lin and said worriedly.
"I'll go!"
"I'll go too!"
Seeing someone taking the lead and getting a bag of rice, some people couldn't resist the bait. Suddenly, a few people who thought they had good martial arts also stood up.
Seeing that there were people going with him, Martial Addict Lin, who was originally hesitant, suddenly became courageous. He said to Ye Wen and Ye Xuan, "No, they stole all our rice. Now we have a chance to get it back. It's only right and proper!"
After saying that, he put down the bowl and the sweet potato in a hurry and walked over.
"Hey, hey!" Ye Wen looked at the Japanese soldiers with guns worriedly. He frowned and said to Martial Addict Lin earnestly, "Forget it!"
"It's okay, Brother Wen, Ah Hsuan, wait for my good news. I will definitely beat the Japanese badly and show them how powerful we are!" Martial Addict Lin didn't care at all. He smiled at Ye Wen and Ye Xuan, then turned around and walked towards Li Zhao.
"Brother Wen, are you worried about Martial Addict Lin?" Ye Xuan suddenly asked when he saw Ye Wen looking worriedly at Martial Addict Lin, who was walking towards the Japanese soldiers.
"Yeah, Ah Hsuan, I know Martial Addict Lin the best. He is very impulsive. Moreover, the Japanese are completely unreasonable. They have killed so many people in Foshan these days. I'm afraid that Martial Addict Lin will be in danger!" Ye Wen looked at Ye Xuan worriedly.
"Then I'll go and have a look!" Ye Xuan suddenly said.
"What?" Ye Wen was shocked, "Ah Hsuan, you …"
