Chapter 16 Confession

The successful conclusion of the villagers' congress had a very great impact on the villagers of Xilongzhuang, regardless of whether what Zhang Wolf said could be achieved or not, the prestige of his secretary and village chief was initially established. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the greenhouse vegetables and large-scale pig farms were built and the profits were obtained, then Zhang Wolf's prestige in Xilongzhuang overshadowed the leaders of the older generation of the third uncle and the fourth uncle in one fell swoop.

At present, all this is just a plan, and it will only be implemented after the autumn harvest.

But there is one thing Zhang Wolf can't wait, he is afraid that he will be too late and there will be other changes.

The squad leader's house is not far from Xilongzhuang, just a dozen miles away, on the south bank of the Heishui River.

But just a little distance, the two villages are provinces with different scores.

Shiwo Village is located in the northernmost part of Hebei Province and borders Liao Province.

Shiwo Village is at the foot of a small hill in the Yumai of Yanshan, and Zhang Wolf came to Shiwo Village along the mountain road in his memory.

Shiwo Village is not big, similar to Xilongzhuang, it is also a hundred and ten households, and the architectural style in the village is similar to that of Xilongzhuang, all of which are low pocket houses.

When Zhang Wolf arrived at Shiwo Village, it was already noon, and wisps of green smoke could be seen rising from the village in the distance.

Zhang Wolf's pace sped up a few points, walked into the village, found an old man squatting in the corner of the wall basking in the sun, handed a cigarette and asked, "Uncle, how do you get to the stone house?"

"Stone?!" the old man looked up at Zhang Wolf's dress and asked, "The stone that the soldier left?"

"Yes, the soldier's stone!" Zhang Wolf nodded heavily.

"The one with a plane tree at the door is the one. The old man pointed to a large plane tree and said.

"Thank you, uncle!" After Zhang Wolf thanked him, he got up and walked to the squad leader's house.

"Alas, pitiful, a good family is so scattered!" came the old man's sigh behind him.

As the squad leader's house got closer and closer, Zhang Wolf's heart began to beat violently, and his pace began to hesitate, he didn't know how to face the squad leader's family.

Taking a deep breath, he stretched out his trembling hand and wanted to knock on the door, when he suddenly heard a conversation in the courtyard.

"Girl, you have to think clearly, you are still young, the second boy of the old Wang family in the neighboring village is a fool, you will be ruined for the rest of your life if you marry. ”

"Old patriarch, I know...... I know, but ...... But my mother can't wait...... My mother's illness can't be delayed any longer. A woman cried.

"About money, let's think about it again, if it really doesn't work, I will give up this old face and go to the town to ask for leadership. The stone is sacrificed for the country, and the country is in charge. ”

"The government has taken care of enough, and the country is not rich...... A few dozen dollars is not enough to see a doctor. The Wang family agreed with me to bring my mother over......"

Zhang Wolf burst into tears when he heard this, he knew that the squad leader was the widow and the only son in the family, and the woman who spoke was the squad leader's daughter-in-law.

"No...... I don't agree!" Zhang Wolf pushed the door open in excitement.

"Are you?" the old patriarch and the squad leader's sister-in-law looked at Zhang Wolf who suddenly broke in in surprise.

I used to hear the squad leader say how beautiful his daughter-in-law was, and I thought the squad leader was bragging.

Now it seems that the squad leader is really too modest, Zhang Wolf has seen countless beauties in later generations, but he has never seen a beauty who has reached this level.

He is 1.75 meters tall, with a pair of long legs that tighten his clothes, and his face is haggard and pale, revealing a sickly flush, but there is a different charm.

Zhang Wolf didn't dare to look at it, for fear of abruptly abrupt his sister-in-law, so he hurriedly lowered his head and opened his mouth to introduce himself, "Sister-in-law, I am Zhang Wolf, the soldier of the stone squad leader." ”

"I know you, Brother Shi talked about you when he wrote to him. The squad leader's sister-in-law had a soft voice.

"I'm sorry sister-in-law, I'm late and let you and your aunt suffer. Zhang Wolf said with guilt.

"Are you a comrade-in-arms of the stone?" the old patriarch asked.

"Yes, I am a soldier brought out by the squad leader, and my home is in Xilongzhuang on the HB bank. ”

"Sister-in-law, I'll find a way for my aunt's illness, you don't have to grieve yourself. ”

"Good, good, good people, good soldiers, good soldiers brought out by stones. The old patriarch laughed happily when he heard that Zhang Wolf was willing to pay for Shi Niang's medical treatment.

"Old patriarch, sister-in-law, let me go in to see the eldest mother?" Zhang Wolf didn't care about catching up with the old patriarch, and proposed to go into the house to see the squad leader's mother.

Zhang ...... Zhang wolf, don't talk to your mother for a while......" The squad leader's sister-in-law said a little shyly.

"I understand sister-in-law, I don't say it. Zhang Wolf nodded.

The squad leader's sister-in-law let Zhang Wolf into the inner room, and in the dim room, the squad leader's mother lay on the kang, silently shedding tears.

Obviously, the conversation between the squad leader's sister-in-law and the old patriarch just now was heard by the squad leader's mother.

"It's all my damn old woman who dragged you down!" said the squad leader's mother with tears in her eyes when she saw her sister-in-law enter the house.

"Mother...... What are you talking about? What drags down or not, the comrades of the stone have come to see you. The sister-in-law hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Your comrade-in-arms?" the old lady struggled to get up.

"Mother! The squad leader is gone...... I will be your son from now on!" Zhang Wolf fell to his knees with a puff and called out to his mother with a cry.

"Hurry up...... Get up kid!" the old lady was startled by the wolf's movements, and she stretched out her hand while lying on the bed and said.

"Mother, my life was given by the squad leader, and the squad leader also left to save me. In the future, you will be my mother, and I will give you a pension for the squad leader. Zhang Wolf knelt on the ground, crying about the pain that had been pressing on his heart for decades.

"Kid...... You are not to blame for this...... It's all fate!" the old lady burst into tears.

"Woo...... Woo woo!" the squad leader's sister-in-law cried even more.

The old patriarch also followed the old tears.

"I can't do it...... I can't let my old bones drag you down anymore. ”

"Old patriarch, please also be a witness, my Zhang Wolf recognizes his relatives today, and the squad leader's mother will be my mother in the future! My Zhang Wolf's son will have a surname Shi and inherit the squad leader's incense. ”

"Woo...... "The old lady burst into tears," the old lady cried, "his father...... Did you hear that? Your old Shi's incense hasn't stopped!"

Zhang Wolf's promise can be regarded as speaking to the bottom of the old lady's heart, and the old lady's illness is mostly due to the loss of her son and the lack of hope in the family.

Chinese pay attention to the inheritance of incense, and rural people are even more particular, and many families would rather be punished for bankruptcy in order to have a son.

The old patriarch was also moved, "Is this true?"

"Really! If you violate this oath, you won't be able to die with thunder and thunder!" Zhang Wolf knelt on the ground and raised his hand and swore an oath.

This is a re-oath, although it has been so many years since the four olds have been broken, but rural people still believe in this.

"Good...... Good boy!Pillar's family, don't let the child get up yet!" the old patriarch called out to the squad leader's mother, who was still crying bitterly.

"Right...... Yes, boy, get up...... It's cold on the ground!" the old lady seemed to be half healed, and struggled to get up from the kang, stretching out her hand to help Zhang Wolf.

"Mother, my son kowtows to you. Zhang Wolf seriously kowtowed to the old lady three times again before getting up and standing.
