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

"Yes!"

Ma Hongwei nodded and released the other person's wrist.

Then, extending his hand again, he smiled and said, "Comrade, welcome to 2026!"

As the two stopped interacting, the illusory panel vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

Am I really not dreaming?

Xia Weiwei looked around at the scene, still somewhat incredulous.

However, she still reached out and shook hands with the other person.

"Buzz!"

The moment their hands clasped, the panel reappeared.

Xia Weiwei quickly released the button, and the panel disappeared.

She loosened her grip several times, trying to figure it out, and discovered that the panel only appeared after the two people made contact.

Xia Weiwei was somewhat puzzled by this thing that was beyond her comprehension.

She shook her head, released her grip, looked at Ma Hongwei with clear eyes, and asked earnestly, "Comrade, may I ask you a question?"

Ma Hongwei nodded: "Ask me anything. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely tell you."

Xia Weiwei looked around and asked softly, "I want to ask, did we defeat the Japanese?"

When she traveled through time, it was during the height of the Japanese invasion.

After the full-scale war that captured Beiping, the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Taiyuan were launched in succession, and large areas of territory were falling into enemy hands.

"Of course we won!"

Ma Hongwei said, "Last September, we even held a military parade to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War!"

"Starting from 1937, we will achieve victory in the War of Resistance against Japan in 1945, just eight years later!"

"We not only won the War of Resistance against Japan, but also defeated the corrupt Kuomintang and established a new socialist China!"

With a proud and excited expression, he said, "Now, according to GDP, our China has surpassed Russia, France, Britain, Japan, and Germany, ranking second in the world, second only to the United States!"

What does the "P" in "G" mean?

Xia Weiwei asked with a puzzled look.

In their time, this concept didn't exist in China.

Although the concept of GDP was proposed as early as the 1930s, it was not until the 1990s that Europe and the United States began to use GDP to replace GNP.

GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product.

Ma Hongwei explained: "It refers to the value of all final goods and services produced in the economy of a country (or region) in a quarter (or year)."

"Of course, the US GDP calculation is a bit inflated; one US dollar is equivalent to more than seven of ours... no, it's more like six now."

"Based on actual purchasing power across countries, we have already surpassed the United States!"

"After all, our country's manufacturing output accounts for 35% of the world's total!"

"This means that for every three industrial products produced worldwide, one is made by us. Even the United States can't compare!"

Xia Weiwei was still a little confused, but she had figured out one thing.

That is to say, China is very powerful now, so powerful that it surpasses imperialist countries such as Britain, France, Japan and Germany, and only the United States can rival it.

This is unbelievable!

In their time, China was poor and weak, and foreign powers enjoyed special privileges in China, with concessions in many places.

Japan, a tiny and insignificant country, is delusional enough to dream of swallowing an elephant whole.

However, China was unable to compete with it and could only trade space for time.

Xia Weiwei asked, "Can I go back again? Although I can't make a big difference on my own, I still want to do my part in the fight against the Japanese!"

"I can definitely go back, but I have to wait until the countdown ends!"

Ma Hongwei said, "I see the countdown above is about 48 hours, which is about 2 days."

"Will it be two more days before we can go back?"

Xia Weiwei nodded, then asked, "Can I go out and see the new China?"

"when……"

Ma Hongwei was about to nod, but then he noticed the other person's clothes and quickly said, "You can go out, but you need to change your clothes. Wearing these clothes will definitely attract a lot of attention."

"But I don't have any other clothes!"

Xia Weiwei frowned.

Ma Hongwei said, "If you don't mind, you can wear my clothes!"

"OK!"

Xia Weiwei nodded.

Although she came from a big city to join the revolution, after so long, she had long since become accustomed to a simple and frugal life.

When she was working in northern Shaanxi, she often wore the clothes of the villagers.

"Come with me!"

Ma Hongwei led the other party to the backyard, where he lived.

Xia Weiwei noticed that the yard was entirely made of cement, the exterior of the house was covered with tiles, and the interior floor was also covered with clean white tiles.

The door to the main room is made of a huge piece of glass and special metal, and inside there is a solid wood dining table and several chairs.

The area on the right, which should have been the inner room, is directly connected to the main room and contains a complete set of sofas.

In front of the sofa is a coffee table, and directly opposite it is a huge, thick black board hanging on the wall.

Xia Weiwei thought to herself, "This place is decorated so luxuriously, it must belong to a capitalist!"

Ma Hongwei ran into the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and found his white short-sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of flip-flops.

He bought this short-sleeved shirt online, but felt it was a bit small, so he never returned it and was too lazy to return it.

"Give!"

Ma Hongwei handed the clothes to the other person and said, "You can go inside and change. I need to go keep watch up front now!"

After saying that, he left.

Watching Ma Hongwei disappear, Xia Weiwei carried the clothes into his bedroom.

Inside, there was a large bed that was more than two meters wide, next to a wardrobe, and in the corner there was a table with a small blackboard on it.

Xia Weiwei drew the curtains, locked the door, and began to change her clothes.

Soon, she changed into a short-sleeved shirt, jeans, and flip-flops.

Because she was wearing a vest-like bra underneath, and the jeans were a bit baggy, her figure wasn't very noticeable.

After changing her clothes, Xia Weiwei folded them neatly and placed them on the table before returning to the supply and marketing cooperative in front of her.

The term "supply and marketing cooperative" is an old name, but the villagers here, including Ma Hongwei, still refer to the village store as the "supply and marketing cooperative."

This was originally a village where the township supply and marketing cooperative was located.

Nowadays, they also sell seeds and fertilizers, unlike the small private shops in the village.

Xia Weiwei found Ma Hongwei and asked, "Can we go out now?"

"Can!"

Ma Hongwei glanced at her and noticed that Xia Weiwei looked significantly better in her new clothes.

He casually put his phone in his pocket and walked out with the other person.

After walking a short distance, Xia Weiwei asked, "Don't you need to lock the door?"

Ma Hongwei said, "We're not going far. The villagers won't just take things. Besides, there are surveillance cameras there, so they can see if someone does take something."
