Chapter 19 Drunken dreams back to blow the horn company camp
Chen Zhuguo's later transformation had a lot to do with this general environment, and the negative evaluation he carried on his body gradually reduced him to a second-rate idler in the village, and became a second-rate idler, which made his bad reputation in the village worse.
"Second uncle, you sit down and rest first, and I'll cook two dishes for you!" Although Chen Chunhua had a bad impression of Chen Zhuguo, she still took Lily to the kitchen with a smiling face.
"This is Runrun, hurry up and make a bowl of wine for the second master to quench his thirst!" Chen Zhuguo said to Chen Run with a grin on his face.
Chen Run and Chen Li have been influenced by the people in the village since they were children, and they have a very bad impression of the famous second-rate idlers in the village. Chen Run sat still, ignoring Chen Zhuguo, and Chen Zhuguo was not angry when he saw it.
Zhang Meng also didn't have a good impression of Chen Zhuguo, he was strong, his face rose a little angry, he stood up, and was ready to kill people.
Li Liang hurriedly stopped Zhang Meng, glanced at him, and signaled him to be from another background. He went to the wine vat behind the counter, scooped a bowl of rice wine, and served it to Chen Zhuguo.
Chen Zhuguo was not polite, took a sip of wine and drank most of the bowl, then put down the bowl in his hand, and said with a smile: "Is your little girl a baby of the Chunhua family? Yes, yes, your wine has a strong taste, it is not mixed with water, second grandfather, I haven't drunk such a good wine for a long time!"
"Second grandfather, I am Aunt Chunhua's nephew, my name is Li Liang!" Li Liang couldn't help but feel sour, this is just a bowl of ordinary rice wine in the countryside, it seems that Chen Zhuguo's life is in distress, and drinking rice wine mixed with water is generally done by extremely poor people.
"Second grandfather, I heard that you have killed a lot of rice devils on the battlefield before, can you tell us about it!" Li Liang said.
Chen Zhuguo didn't drink much, most of the bowl of rice wine was in his stomach, his face was red, he was a little drunk, and after listening to Li Liang's question, he looked a little embarrassed, and his face became more and more red.
"It's been so long since the events of that year, don't mention it!" Chen Zhuguo closed his eyes slightly, as if he was reminiscing about something.
While talking, Chen Li brought two bowls of dishes made by Chen Chunhua from the kitchen, one was a small fried back to the pot meat, and the other was a scrambled egg with chili.
Chen Chunhua was wearing an apron, she also walked out, and said to the slightly drunk Chen Zhuguo: "Second uncle, there are no dishes in the store for a long time, you will eat it!"
Chen Zhuguo didn't answer, just drank the food, Li Liang saw that he was drinking very fast, and went to scoop out a big bowl.
Chen Chunhua saw that he didn't speak, and went back to sit at the counter.
Zhang Meng took Li Liang and a few people to the kitchen, and Zhang Meng said angrily: "Liangzi, this kind of second-rate son, why are you stopping me from letting me drive him out?" The two sisters, Chen Run and Chen Li, also nodded in agreement, and both looked at Li Liang with puzzled eyes.
Li Liang was brewing words in his head, and said thoughtfully: "Have you all seen the movie Shangganling?" Zhang Meng and the three of them nodded. "Then do you remember the instructor Meng Degui inside?"
"Remember, Wang Lan's singing of "My Motherland" is so good!" Zhang Meng replied.
The scene he said was that the seriously injured instructor in the movie was in the last moment of his life, in the tunnel where there was a shortage of food, medicine and water, and Wang Lan sang "My Motherland" to him with his weak voice, and the instructor closed his eyes in the affectionate singing of the soldiers, and left the comrades-in-arms who accompanied him day and night with a deep affection for the motherland and a desire for peace.
"A big river with wide waves
The wind blows the rice and flowers on both sides
My family lives right on the shore
I'm used to hearing the captain's horn
I'm used to seeing the white sails on the ship
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Hearing Zhang Meng talk about the song "My Motherland", Chen Run and Chen Li sang quietly, and their crisp singing voices diffused in the smoke of the kitchen.
Li Liang said slowly: "Then what if your second grandfather is a person like the instructor Meng Degui, will you still look down on him?"
"He, no way!" Zhang Meng said at the same time, and then Zhang Meng continued: "He is a coward, if it were me, I would not fall into the hands of the enemy!"
"Then what if you were so badly wounded that you couldn't even move your fingers, and you were captured while lying in the trench?" Li Liang continued.
"Then I, anyway, I don't want to be a prisoner if I die!" Zhang Meng said reluctantly.
Li Liang turned some of the news materials he had seen in his previous life into his own words, and said slowly: "Brother Meng, Sister Runrun, Lily, I have seen reports in the newspaper about the second grandfather and their captives, in fact, they are a group of poor heroes!" You have all seen the Shangganling movie, in fact, the real battlefield environment is much worse than in the movie, when their ancestors had aircraft bombs on their heads, stayed in the trenches and endured lack of food and clothing, not only did they have no water to drink in the most difficult time, but even urine could only be given priority to the wounded. They were able to survive in such a difficult environment, do you think they would voluntarily become prisoners?"
Zhang Meng, sisters Chen Run, and Chen Li shook their heads at the same time!
"In fact, many of them were either hungry and ran out of strength, or they ran out of bullets, and some of them, like Instructor Meng Degui, were captured by the enemy only when they were seriously injured and unable to move! After being captured, the enemy tortured the soldiers who resolutely demanded to return to China by being imprisoned in water, electrocuted, pressed with bars, poured with water, and nailed to their heads. However, this still cannot shake the determination of the vast number of soldiers to return to China!" Li Liang said very depressedly, "You say, can such a person be a traitor or a coward?"
Zhang Meng and the three of them were shocked by what Li Liang said, they never thought that Chen Zhuguo was such an alternative hero, they walked out of the kitchen with tears in their eyes and came to Chen Zhuguo. Chen Zhuguo was already drunk, lying on the table and snoring slightly.
At this time, he was lying on the table, the chicken nest on his head was extremely messy, mixed with a lot of silver threads, and his mouth was muttering to himself, as if he was saying something.
Suddenly, Li Liang sang "My Motherland" sung by Sister Chen Run just now:
"A big river with wide waves
The wind blows the rice and the fragrance of flowers on both sides"
He got up, and Zhang Meng and the three of them also continued to sing:
"My family lives on the shore
I'm used to hearing the captain's horn
I'm used to seeing the white sails on the ship
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Chen Chunhua was settling the accounts, and looked up at the four teenagers singing in surprise.
At this time, Chen Zhuguo in the dream also sang:
"This is the beautiful motherland
It's where I grew up
In this vast land
There are bright scenery everywhere
The girl is like a flower
What a big heart the young man has!"
His voice was hoarse and low, and his singing voice was also a little desolate, and he cried as he sang: "Squad leader, I'm sorry for you, if you hadn't pushed me, you wouldn't have been killed by the enemy's bullets." I'm a coward, I'm a prisoner!"
Then he continued to cry: "Erdezi, I'm sorry for you, after returning to China, I went to your hometown, your sister starved to death in 59 years! I didn't take good care of your sister! I'm incompetent! Woo woo~~~"
