Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

"Hey, I'm at the supply and marketing cooperative. Can you come over here and deliver goods to me? Turn right at the village entrance, then turn left at the first street. It's on the street directly opposite the temple."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Hongwei said to Xia Weiwei, "The courier has arrived and will deliver the medicine soon."

Xia Weiwei wasn't too surprised by this.

She thought it was delivered directly from the city.

Little did they know, the goods actually came from other nearby cities.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Xia Weiwei saw a tricycle with a cartoon dog head printed on it and a cargo box in the back slowly driving by.

The car stopped on the road in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. A deliveryman in uniform got out of the car, opened the cargo compartment, and started taking things out.

Ma Hongwei stepped forward, smiled, and handed the other person a bottle of Coke, saying, "Thank you for making this trip. There's really a lot of stuff. Otherwise, I would have just gone to the village entrance to get it."

"It's okay, I'm driving anyway."

The deliveryman waved his hand and said, "I don't want the package."

"Here, it's just a bottle of water!"

Ma Hongwei said, "If you don't like Coke, I can change it for something else."

"Coke it is then, thanks!"

The deliveryman thanked him, put the Coke down, and continued moving boxes out.

Xia Weiwei looked at the rows of sealed, packaged boxes and asked, "Are all of these ours?"

Ma Hongwei said, "Let's move it after they've investigated and clarified the situation!"

The delivery guy glanced at Xia Weiwei and exclaimed in amazement, "Brother, is this your girlfriend? She's stunningly beautiful, definitely a campus beauty!"

Upon hearing that the other person referred to her as Ma Hongwei's girlfriend, Xia Weiwei's pretty face couldn't help but blush.

She thought to herself, "Those underground party members are given wives or husbands by the organization to cover their identities. I also need a suitable identity if I want to avoid suspicion in this era."

Ma Hongwei quickly explained, "No, this is me..."

"That's right, I'm his girlfriend!"

Xia Weiwei suddenly said, "Aren't you embarrassed to go?"

"what?"

Ma Hongwei stared blankly at the other person, feeling somewhat incredulous.

Suddenly I have a girlfriend?

The deliveryman jokingly asked, "Hey beautiful, do you have any sisters, cousins, or classmates? Could you introduce me to one?"

Xia Weiwei replied, "I have two older sisters, but they are both married."

"Then it seems I'm quite unlucky."

The deliveryman shook his head and continued counting the goods.

After checking everything, he said to the two men, "That's all your goods. I've delivered them all. Bye!"

After saying that, the deliveryman got on his tricycle and reversed.

Although the village roads are paved with cement, they are still somewhat narrow, and every household has a slope in front of their door, making it difficult to turn around.

"Let's move some things!"

Ma Hongwei pointed to the boxes on the ground and said to Xia Weiwei, "You carry the lighter ones, and I'll carry the heavier ones."

"Light or heavy, isn't it all the same?"

Xia Weiwei retorted, "Don't underestimate the power of women! What you men can do, we women can do just as well!"

As she spoke, she picked up a box of saline solution and headed toward the supply and marketing cooperative.

"This is true female power!"

Seeing this, Ma Hongwei said with emotion, "They are completely different from those boxers who only know how to demand privileges but are unwilling to fulfill their obligations. To even compare the two is an insult to our revolutionary predecessors!"

Then, he picked up two boxes of saline solution and strode into the house.

Ma Hongwei is used to moving and unloading goods, so he's long been skilled at it.

The two moved the goods to the back living room, and Xia Weiwei said with a serious expression, "Comrade Ma Hongwei, I have something to tell you!"

"What do you want to talk about?"

Ma Hongwei asked with a puzzled look.

Xia Weiwei took a deep breath and said something astonishing: "Comrade Ma Hongwei, from today onwards, I am your girlfriend!"

"puff!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongwei exclaimed in disbelief, "Weiwei, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xia Weiwei said, "I've thought this through carefully. To avoid arousing suspicion, I need a suitable identity, so let's pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend!"

"It's just an act!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongwei felt a sense of loss.

"Of course it's an act!"

Xia Weiwei turned around, somewhat shyly saying, "We've only known each other for a day, how could I possibly become your real girlfriend so quickly?"

"In our time, it's common for couples to become boyfriend and girlfriend after knowing each other for only a day."

Ma Hongwei said, "I also came across a news article these past few days about a foreigner who randomly met a female teacher in Chang'an. The female teacher treated him to spicy hot pot, stayed in the same hotel with him at night, slept in the same bed, and even cooperated with him to film videos and post them online."

"Pooh!"

Xia Weiwei scoffed, "That's called shamelessness! Those foreign devils have harmed so many Chinese people, and she actually has the nerve to offer herself up? She doesn't deserve to be called Chinese!"

What she hates most now is the Japanese, whether they are Japanese or Westerners.

Women who would give themselves to Japanese soldiers like that are simply insane.

Ma Hongwei said, "Netizens are criticizing her in the same way, but she herself says online that it's called freedom of love, and she blames netizens for being nosy!"

"Freedom of love? What bullshit freedom! All you know is to learn from foreign dross. Any normal woman wouldn't sleep with someone she's only known for a day!"

Xia Weiwei said with a grave expression, "I think your future society has problems, and big problems at that!"

Although in the future society, there will be no worries about food or clothing, and every family will have brick houses and cars, the mental outlook will be quite problematic.

……

Once everything was inside, Ma Hongwei found the printer and began unpacking.

"Put this printer and A4 paper on the dining table, and I'll go to the back room to get the computer."

As Ma Hongwei spoke, he went to his room, unplugged the computer from the desk, placed it on the dining table outside, reconnected the power, and then connected the printer and computer together according to the instruction manual.

Xia Weiwei asked curiously, "This is a computer? What's it used for?"

"Computer is our term; its original name was electronic computer!"

Ma Hongwei recounted: "The world's first reprogrammable electronic computer was born in the United States. It was developed in 1946 and could perform 5000 additions or 400 multiplications per second. It was first used to calculate ballistics."

"The first non-programmable electronic computer was developed between 37 and 41. In addition, Germany also developed a programmable electromechanical computer between 36 and 41."

"However, computers have been upgraded countless times since then. The Internet originated from computers."

As he spoke, he opened his browser and demonstrated: "This is called Baidu Search. If you enter the War of Resistance Against Japan, information about the War of Resistance Against Japan will appear."

After opening Baidu Encyclopedia, Ma Hongwei waved to Xia Weiwei and said, "Bring a chair over here to take a look."

"OK!"

Xia Weiwei quickly moved a chair over and started watching the computer screen.

The War of Resistance Against Japan, or simply the War of Resistance, lasted from September 18, 1931, to September 2, 1945, a total of 14 years.

On September 18, 1931, the Japanese army attacked Fengtian (Shenyang)...

During the War of Resistance against Japan, the Chinese military and civilians suffered 3500 million casualties, while 150 million Japanese soldiers were killed, wounded, or captured. Direct economic losses amounted to US$1000 billion, and indirect economic losses reached US$5000 billion.

"3500 million casualties?"

Upon seeing this heartbreaking number, Xia Weiwei was stunned; she felt suffocated.

"Damn it, these Japanese devils are inhuman, I really want to wipe them all out..."

Even Xia Weiwei, who rarely gets angry, couldn't help but curse.

After hurling insults for a while, Xia Weiwei looked at Ma Hongwei and asked expectantly, "Hongwei, in your era, Japanese chickens should have been wiped out by now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongwei's lips twitched, and he shook his head, saying, "No."

"No?"

Xia Weiwei said angrily, "Why are you still keeping them?"

"Because Japan has the protection of the United States. In the past, we were weak and needed to keep developing. Although things are much better now, we still have a lot of enemies."

Ma Hongwei explained, "Moreover, things are different now than in the past. We don't pursue the destruction of countries anymore, especially since we are a socialist country. If we were to arbitrarily destroy another country, what would be the difference between that and imperialism!"

Xia Weiwei asked, "But...aren't we going to take revenge?"

"I'm just an ordinary person; I can't decide these kinds of things."

Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "What we are talking about now is peaceful development, with everything centered on economic construction. Once war breaks out, there will be no good days."

After a pause, he said to Xia Weiwei, "What we can do now is to help your timeline as much as possible."
