"Battalion commander, Wang Er is back with He Xiuxiu!"

"Coming back?" Battalion Commander Fang stood up from his desk suddenly, "Why did she come back?"

"I don't know, so many people went up the mountain this morning to look for it, but they didn't find it, and now she is back by herself. The person who came in to report scratched his hair, "This is an evil sect!"

"What's the reaction from the task force?" asked Battalion Commander Fang with a frown.

"Haven't moved, maybe haven't heard from it yet?"

"No way. Battalion Commander Fang shook his head, "The noses of the people in the work team are sharper than dogs, and they all know that there is a disturbance on the farm, He Xiuxiu is back, it is impossible for them not to know." ”

"So what kind of medicine are they selling in the gourd?" the reporter was puzzled.

Camp Commander Fang sneered: "No matter what kind of medicine it is, it is definitely not a good medicine, we will find out later." ”

"This He Xiuxiu too, since she doesn't want us to find it, then she just ran away, why did she want to come back? I don't know what trouble there is this time?" said the reporter distressedly.

"Okay, don't complain, hurry up with me to meet He Xiuxiu and see what she thinks. Battalion Commander Fang took on his coat and said that he was about to go out.

"Huh?"

"That's right. Battalion Commander Fang had just stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and suddenly turned around and asked, "What about the people who came to He Xiuxiu yesterday?"

"I don't know. The staff shook their heads, "I heard that they went to the cafeteria early in the morning to eat all the time, and then disappeared, and I don't know where they went." ”

"Xiao Du, is the canteen master still Lao Xie today?" Camp Commander Fang suddenly remembered and asked.

Xiao Du said: "Yes, it was the old Xie who gave those Beijing educated youths a late-night snack last night, what's wrong?"

"I know!" Camp Commander Fang patted his thigh, "I chatted with Lao Xie for a while in the morning, and mentioned the matter of going to the back mountain, it must be Lao Xie's big speaker who leaked this matter, otherwise why did He Xiuxiu come back at this time?!"

"Nine times out of ten, that's it!" Xiao Du also figured it out, "I said this, why did He Xiuxiu suddenly figure it out, and when she came back from the mountain, she must have met with that guy from Beijing!"

"I'm afraid that Wang Er's kid is indispensable in the middle!" Camp Commander Fang snorted coldly, and went out with his hands behind his back.

······

Zhong Yuemin, He Dayong and others, followed He Xiuxiu and Wang Er down the mountain, and when they returned to the farm camp, it was just time to call it a day.

Along the way, they were all farm workers and educated youths who came back with tools, and when they saw He Xiuxiu holding the child, they all watched from a distance, and they didn't come up to ask, but just exchanged their heads directly with each other, and occasionally pointed at He Xiuxiu and others. ”

"What's wrong with these people being sick?" He Dayong was in a hurry, "We're not monkeys, what's there to see?"

"They are all looking at your sister and me, maybe someone has already gone to report the news at this time. Wang Er said with a smile.

"Look at you?" He Dayong was a little puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"The two of us were the number one shoemakers on the farm, and we dragged the two of us out to criticize as soon as we had an event before. He Xiuxiu smiled bitterly.

He Dayong was a little confused, "You two?

"The two of us have nothing to do!" He Xiuxiu said excitedly: "I am the one who dragged Wang Er down." ”

"Xiuxiu, don't say that. It's not your fault. Wang Er wanted to stop He Xiuxiu from continuing.

But He Xiuxiu didn't want her brother to misunderstand Wang Er, she continued: "At that time, I was found pregnant by the hygienist, and then I became a typical model in the field, and from time to time I was dragged to criticize and fight, and then my stomach was revealed, and my movement was a little inconvenient, but they still let me take a plane on stage.

Wang Er couldn't see it, so he rushed up with a few educated youths from Beijing to save me.

After that, it was rumored that I was messing with Wang Er and I had a relationship between men and women, and the child in my belly belonged to Wang Er. After that, Wang Er was pulled up every time he criticized, saying that he was a hooligan. ”

He Xiuxiu stopped and glanced at Wang Er gratefully, "But Wang Er never refused to explain to others in order to protect me, and later even the Beijing educated youth thought that there was something wrong with the two of us and refused to help us anymore." ”

"I just can't see how they bully a pregnant woman like that. Wang Er's voice was still flat, as if the things that helped He Xiuxiu were just his doing, and the doubts and grievances he suffered were not worth mentioning.

Zhong Yuemin felt that Wang Er was a chivalrous man, and he had his own set of rules in his heart, and any additional restrictions, rules and concepts were floating clouds for him.

Zhong Yuemin felt that he was not as good as Wang Er, and he took too much care of it, so he naturally lived as others wanted.

"On the day I gave birth, no one dared to help me, I was really desperate, so I had to go to Wang Er again, it was he who took me to the mountain villager's house, and found an old woman to help me deliver the baby, otherwise I would definitely not be able to step through this ghost gate. He Xiuxiu continued.

"I also lost the money that Dayong remitted, so that we could buy some eggs, pork and sugar, otherwise I wouldn't have survived. ”

He Xiuxiu said this to He Dayong, and there was gratitude and relief in her words, grateful that her younger brother was willing to help her when she was in the most difficult time, and she was glad that her younger brother had grown up and had the ability to help her.

"Sister, why didn't you write to your family earlier, let me come and pick you up earlier?" He Dayong asked with a sad face.

"Although I don't think I'm wrong, I don't want to go back and let my mother listen to other people's gossip. He Xiuxiu replied.

"But have you ever thought about it, if you have a snake, what will you do if you have three long and two short?" He Dayong asked with tears in his eyes.

He Xiuxiu couldn't help but shed tears, "I can't take care of it, I can't take care of anything at that time." Just thinking about not letting my poor child die before he was born. ”

As soon as He Xiuxiu cried, the child in her arms also cried.

Xiaoshou saw that He Xiuxiu was emotional, and hurriedly hugged the child in her hand and helped coax her.

"The child has poop and is about to change the diaper. The little hand felt a warmth in his hand, and immediately glanced at the diaper, and sure enough, it was already soaked.

"Come with me, let's go to the dormitory, where is the water. He Xiuxiu led everyone into a house like a greenhouse.

The house is surrounded by wood-paneled walls covered with thick palm-like felt.

After entering the door, I found that the interior space is surprisingly large, like a huge gymnasium, and countless wooden shelf beds are placed in order.

Each bed is supported by a mosquito net, a chest and shoes are placed under the bed, and most of the bedside tables are placed with enamel basins or chopsticks.

"Why is this dormitory so big?" Li Kuiyong looked around at the labyrinth-like room because it was full of beds.

"At the beginning, we educated youths came in large numbers and came in a hurry, and the local cadres could only launch a general war to build these houses, a total of 12 houses, which could accommodate 3,000 people. Wang Er introduced.

At this time, many educated youths finished washing up and returned to the dormitory, both men and women, seeing that their group came in, and stood on both sides of the aisle to watch.

"Does this man and woman live together?" He Dayong suddenly asked.

"What do you want?" Li Kuiyong chuckled, "It must be separated!"

"The rooms are all for boys, and the girls live in the inner areas. He Xiuxiu pointed to the depths of the dormitory, and sure enough, there was a wall blocking in the middle.

There was also an old aunt sitting at the door.

"Xiuxiu, why are you back?" the old aunt saw He Xiuxiu, a little incredulous.

"Granny Cui, the pot has been smashed, I can't stay on the mountain, I can starve, but the child can't, now I'm going down the mountain, if you want to kill them, go with them." ”

Granny Cui scolded: "These people, they really didn't give birth to a child!

She saw Wang Er standing in the crowd again, and scolded again: "Wang Er, you are not a thing! You men just want to be happy for a while, and the pain and sin of conceiving children have made women suffer!"

"Granny Cui, you are wrong to blame Wang Er, he is a good person······" He Xiuxiu can only say this, and now everyone believes that she and Wang Er are messing with the relationship between men and women, no matter how much they explain, it will not help.

"You, you, you're just fascinated, you've been tricked, and you're still speaking for him!" Granny Cui said angrily.

Although he knew that Wang Er was wrongly blamed, Zhong Yuemin and several onlookers were a little embarrassed when they heard it, but Wang Er did not react, as if the person who Granny Cui blamed was not him.

"Mother-in-law, the child is pulled, and he is also a little hungry, do you have water here?" He Xiuxiu interrupted Granny Cui, who wanted to continue nagging.

"This is your child, right?" Granny Cui took the child in her little hand and checked the child's temperature.

"The child's clothes are damp with dew, and his body is not warm, and he is afraid that he will catch a cold after a long time!"

Granny Cui blamed in her mouth, and her hands did not decrease, she quickly put the child on her bed, poured a basin of warm water, scrubbed the child inside and out, and then packed the child with a quilt.

"Millet porridge should be served in the cafeteria at night, and people should go and get a bowl of it. Granny Cui commanded.

"I'll go, I'll go. The little hand immediately rushed out.

He Dayong hurriedly shouted: "Get me something to eat, anything, I won't pick!"

Xiaoshou didn't reply to him, I don't know if I heard it or not.

"If you want to eat, you have to pick a time!" Li Kuiyong said disgustedly, "It's not appropriate at this time, right?"

"I know it's not suitable, but I can't stand being hungry!" He Dayong said aggrievedly.

"Dayong, you go to eat, you should be hungry by now. He Xiuxiu said.

"Still no, let's help you pack your things. He Dayong also knows how to take care of things.

Granny Cui hugged the child next to her and said coldly: "Men are not allowed to enter here, you stand next to the side, don't get in the way of others!"

"No! we'll help my sister pack her things and come out in a moment. He Dayong explained.

"No, you're all women, maybe someone is changing your clothes, what do you look like when you go in?" Granny Cui flatly refused.

This reason is too powerful, and He Dayong had no choice but to squat obediently in the corner when he heard it.

"Oh oh oh ~ eat, Xiaobao eat~"

The little hand came back quickly, bringing back a porridge full of enamel jars, and sure enough, he didn't bring back anything to eat.

Granny Cui used a small spoon to feed the child millet paste, probably because she had been hungry for too long, and the baby swallowed it in large gulps as soon as she touched it, and her face turned red because of the exertion.

"This baby is hungry, biting the spoon and refusing to let go. While feeding the child rice cereal, Granny Cui said to He Xiuxiu: "Rice cereal can withstand hunger, but the nutrition is not enough, so you still have to feed milk." ”

"No milk. He Xiuxiu's face was a little red, and she peeked at a few men standing behind to see the breastfeeding, and whispered to Granny Cui: "I haven't eaten well in the mountains, and I can't milk no matter how I milk it, so I can only feed him rice flour paste." ”

"That's not good, even if there is no milk, let the child hold it for a while, and if you take it too much, the milk will come out. Granny Cui passed on her experience, "You have to think of eating more meat and drinking more soup." ”

"I went down the mountain this time, and there is also this reason, I have difficulty eating and drinking water on the mountain alone, and I can stutter no matter how I come down. ”

Granny Cui sighed, "I just don't know what those people are planning to concoct you." ”

"Let them go, since I have come down the mountain, I am ready, whatever they want, I will continue. He Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and said.

"They dare! more of them!" He Dayong listened to his sister's words, and immediately became furious, he didn't know it before, but now he not only knows, but also is by his side, he will never let others hurt his sister in the slightest.

"Who do you want to chop?"

At this time, Battalion Commander Fang led people in, just in time to hear He Dayong's cruel words.

He Dayong stood in front of his sister, glared at Camp Commander Fang and said, "Whoever wants to bully my sister, I will chop him!"

For a while, the scene was silent, and everyone waited to see how the battalion commander would respond.

"Good boy, it's kind!" Camp Commander Fang was not angry, "Do you want to come to me to do it?"

"What are you doing?" He Dayong asked in a daze.

"Come to be a soldier and defend your family and country!"

"What's the benefit?" He Dayong's question made all the onlookers at the scene gasp, this kid is too awesome.

"There is no benefit, hardship is in the front, there is no pleasure; Would you like to do it?" replied Camp Commander Fang.

"Who wants to do this kind of loss-making business? Isn't that a big injustice?" What He Dayong said did not surprise Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong's understanding of him, but he was still a little shocked by his recklessness.

"What nonsense?!" He Xiuxiu scolded: "If you can come to be a soldier, how happy your mother should be!"

"I don't want to!" He Dayong said stubbornly, "If I leave, what will you and your mother do? What if you are bullied again?"

"Didn't I tell you, I wasn't bullied, I and the child's father were in love, not forced!" He Xiuxiu blurted out in a hurry, forgetting the crowd gathered at the door of the dormitory.

"Oh~"

The intellectuals around them uttered interjections in unison to express their understanding.

"Where is that kid?" He Dayong asked stupidly.
