Chapter 34: Transition (3)

When the stove was lit, the temperature of the room went up, and the shabby table had obviously just been wiped, and two large plates of dumplings were placed on it, and the two of them had their dishes and chopsticks also set, and a pot of wine was scalded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I came here after eating in the morning, you can eat quickly, it will be cold later." Lin Zhengfang waved his hand and refused to sit down. It was not yet ten o'clock at this time, and Cheng Jiabao and their two meals were just meals, and he was not hungry at all.

"Come so far early in the morning, drink two sips to warm up." Cheng Jiabao insisted on inviting, "I just have something to do, and I want to talk to you about it." ”

Drinking for breakfast, either none, or neither of them had done this before. The wine is very ordinary, the entrance is flushed and spicy, put it aside, not to mention that Cheng Jiabao, who was born in an official gentry, does not drink it, even Lin Zhengfang has not drunk such wine for 20 years. But in the past few months, they have fought with the Japanese invaders, and they have relied on this kind of wine to boost their gas and keep out the cold.

The two of them had a drink first, and as soon as the wine glass was put down, the spicy wine surged up, and Cheng Jiabao's eyes turned red: "Big brother, the ancients are right, things are expensive when they leave their hometowns!" People leave their hometowns, cheap! He just advised his cousin Liu Yin not to mind the treatment, which does not mean that he is not uncomfortable in his heart.

"Qin Qiong still has a time to sell horses, it's a matter of a while," Lin Zhengfang answered simply, and then changed the conversation: "The brothers' injuries are not serious, I will rest assured, when are you going to go back to pick up people, call me." ”

The Cheng family is also a big family, they don't have the ability of Shu Yufeng and others, so they can only temporarily avoid going to the countryside to join relatives. The little devil rushed fiercely and came quickly, but Cheng Jiabao never found a chance to pick up people. Later, his brothers were injured too much, and he, the leader, could not disperse the morale of the army, so he could only lead people all the way west, except for Liu Yin, that is, Lin Zhengfang, who understood his thoughts.

Cheng Jiabao was even more uncomfortable when he heard it, poured himself a glass of wine, raised his hands to signal to Lin Zhengfang, and drank it all with tears that he couldn't hold back. He was a seven-foot man in vain, and when he ruined his family, he was single and went to safety, and his grandmother, parents, and wife and children were all left behind in the realm of life and death.

Lin Zhengfang poured wine for him: "Brother, I also came here at your age, if you call me big brother, I will treat you as my own brother, what outsiders can do with him, our brothers do what they should do......"

After Lin Shulan finished dealing with all the wounded, she looked up and noticed a person, "Ding He?" What are you doing? ”

Ding He was fiddling back and forth with the straw used to start the fire, and when he heard Lin Shulan ask, he hurriedly stood up and replied: "Miss Lin, I'm idle and idle, just make up a few small things to pad the arms and legs of these bosses, and I can be more comfortable when I lie down." ”

Indeed, several wounded soldiers who had already used it immediately expressed that it was comfortable! Looking at the square is not round or round, the cushion is strong!

Liu Yinyi arched his hand: "Brother has a heart, thank you!" ”

Ding He hurriedly bowed in return: "Don't dare, don't dare..."

Outside, there was a brother gesturing in the yard with dumplings that had just come out of the pot, steaming very conspicuously, Liu Yin greeted: "Big niece, this brother, go, let's eat dumplings first." ”

"Uncle Liu, you go first, I can't come here every day, sort out these medicines, it's convenient for you to use them." Lin Shulan didn't expect that these people couldn't grasp the exact dosage. can only think of a stupid way, for example, five people with different injuries happen to be the dosage of a bottle of anti-inflammatory drugs, she divides the medicine into equal portions according to the severity of the injuries of these five people, the number of light portions is less, and the number of heavy portions is more, and then tells these five people to share a bottle and remember their own portions.

Lin Shulan's approach made Liu Yin praise: "It has to be a foreign school to study!" Eldest niece, it's not that we can't read, but we can't understand the foreign symbols and foreign characters on it. ”

"This is not just a matter of the Foreign Academy," Cheng Jiabao raised his glass at Lin Zhengfang, "The eldest niece's brain is so smart!" Brother Lin, you have a good girl! I salute you! ”

In the eyes of a person like Lin Zhengfang who can lead troops to fight, Lin Shulan's solution is actually nothing, with Cheng Jiabao's brain, think about it seriously, it's okay, he is a little too drunk. Cheng Jiabao is only twenty-nine years old after the New Year, and his life has been smooth, his family is an official gentry. After going to the military academy, he endured some hardships in training, but that kind of physical suffering was something he took the initiative to ask for, sharpened his will, and it can be said that he was proud.

He didn't have much ambition, and when he went to the military academy, he just thought about multiple ways, and took a gun to ensure the safety of his family and the township. After graduation, he obeyed the family's arrangement, went home to become a policeman, married a wife who was a good person, and relied on his talent and family connections and money, all the way up, and he looked like a young man.

The experience of more than three months was something he could never have imagined before! I can't see my relatives, I don't even know whether I am alive or dead; I thought about killing people and desperately ran for my life, and my colleagues who got along day and night fell in a pool of blood one by one; When eating, I kept my ears open, and I couldn't wait to open one eye when I slept, not knowing where a team of devil soldiers would come out of the next moment, shooting at myself.

Liu Yin looks like a rough person, his heart is fine, fighting is not a fight, Lin Zhengfang has many years of experience in killing from the rain of bullets, if he didn't meet Lin Zhengfang, his cousin would be negligent, and his people would have to suffer a big loss.

So he also raised his glass: "I also toast you, Brother Lin, since we met, I have always accepted your affection, and the brothers have remembered it." ”

Lin Zhengfang smiled: "Where is this, the wine talk is out!" If we brothers fall in love and kill together, I will also accept your love. After drinking it all, he said: "The brothers have been recuperating for some days, and it takes time to prepare things, so let's live like this first, and when the people and things are ready, we will kill them back." ”

This is what was said just now, Cheng Jiabao nodded again and again: "Kill back!" There are many people in this camp, all of whom think so, when the time comes, let's pull the team and kill back! ”

Liu Yin calculated: "There are more than 2,000 people living in this barracks, all of them are scattered small groups of people, the Northeast Army, the militia, the police, and the bandits who have voted for the Volunteer Army. They also have similar thoughts, let's say hello, hundreds of people must have them. ”

Lin Zhengfang has been mixed with the rivers and lakes and the army, and he knows very well that it is impossible for the Northeast Army to return to his hometown within three or two years, and he cannot count on it. With General Huang Xiansheng here, they have no intention of setting up another mountain, and they must listen to the announcement and listen to General Huang's orders. But the three of them all thought that if they wanted to keep their relatives safe as soon as possible, they could only recruit their own troops, kill them back to their hometowns, and take people out.

If there are fewer people going, who knows how many devil soldiers will be encountered here? If you pick up someone, you have to rush out again, and if there are fewer people, you will be sent to death; If you don't have money, you can't even match the guns and bullets, and rush to the RB people, you will still be sent to death.

As the old saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero. The guns and ammunition are things that can be used as money, even if all the belongings of the four wives and concubines are exhausted, and his daughter will support the family in the future, he Lin Zhengfang will be able to equip four or five hundred people with spears and bullets at most, not taking into account the heavy weapons above the food and drink horses, follow-up replenishment, and machine guns.

Without a source of supplies, how can this battle be fought? Without decent weapons, such four or five hundred people are not sure of winning even against a standard squad of more than 50 people.

Alas! The three of them sighed together, looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and Lin Zhengfang said: "Okay, the brothers are not injured yet, let's slowly think about the way." ”

"Big brother is right, the war is dangerous, we can't be in a hurry."

Liu Yin slapped the table, "Okay!" Let's just endure it first and talk about it after this year! ”

"Twenty-three sugar melons are sticky, twenty-four sweep the house, twenty-five make tofu, twenty-six stew New Year's meat, twenty-seven kill chicken, twenty-eight white hair, twenty-nine handfuls of oil, sit for one night on thirty nights, and twist on the first day of the New Year."

The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a "small year", from this day on, everyone who lives at home will only have one important thing left, that is, the New Year! This is an extremely grand event for the Chinese.

Even in the 21st century, human beings have achieved spacewalks, but every Chinese New Year, it is still the south and the north of the world, hundreds of millions of people travel thousands of kilometers without rain and snow, and are not afraid of hard work, just to go home for the New Year. At this time in Beiping, the atmosphere of the New Year is stronger.

The Guogong Mansion occupied by several families, in the middle of the position, happens to be a small courtyard with three main rooms with east and west compartments, which is the residence of Uncle Shen Qi and his wife here. Their small medicine shop has been open for many years, and the old couple is reluctant to move around the neighborhood, so they have been reluctant to move, so they live on both sides.

It's very cold in the morning in winter, and as soon as I show my head outside, I feel that my face is tight, and the cold air is inhaled, and my nose is uncomfortable.

Uncle Shen Qi woke up early, and he was not in a hurry to get up, he reached out and took his cigarette bag and pot, lay down in the quilt to fill the cigarette, lit the fire and smoked it.

Before taking a sip, Aunt Shen Qi next to her muttered: "Smoke ...... early in the morning" and lifted the quilt to get dressed and go to the ground.

"What for?"

"Add some fire, and you're done in the kitchen."

"You feel cold?" Uncle Shen Qi looked at his wife with a smile.

Aunt Qi retracted into the quilt and touched it, "It's quite hot, did you get up?" ”

At this time, there is no warmth, and getting up early in winter is a hard job.

The fires of each house were pressed with wet coals at night, and in the cold winter and the moon, the kang and the stove were already cold. Normally, it is the daughter-in-law or mother who endures the cold and gets up first, pokes the pressed coal, and makes the fire burn. Then with the cold air in the cotton clothes and pants that was not completely hot, he prepared breakfast for the family with cold hands and feet.

When the kang and the house slowly got hot, and breakfast was almost over, the daughter-in-law or mother entered the house and called the family to get up and eat.

When people are old, they feel less, and Aunt Seven thinks that Uncle Shen Qi has gotten up once and stabbed the stove open.

"Changtai got up early and went to practice only after opening the stove."

"This kid, it's a pity...... Aunt Qi sighed, "You want to have character, you want to have kung fu, you have to be kind and clever, alas, it's a pity....."

Uncle Shen Qi said something with a cigarette holder in his mouth, but Aunt Seven didn't hear clearly: "What? ”

Uncle Shen Qi waved his hand: "Go ahead, I'll get up after I smoke." ”

Aunt Shen didn't ask again, the next day was Xiao Nian, and a lot of things were waiting for her!

The seventh aunt is a big person, and she will run the family, so she will take care of the affairs of this year's festival, and the daughters-in-law of each family will listen to the shouting. The New Year's goods that should be done during the New Year, the seventh aunt led the daughters-in-law to buy them a long time ago, this is the style of the solid family, and there is no need to wait for the year to settle the account before the money is spent.

Because of the situation of several families, especially the Lin family without a son, Aunt Shen Qi only took care of the big face, and did not have a really enthusiastic Zhang Luo, but it still aroused everyone's reluctance to give up the family business in the Northeast.

Jingyi's daughter-in-law is a person who grew up in Beiping, and her sister-in-law is a pure Beiping banner person; Mrs. Fang is a little weird, she never shows off the New Year's Festival, and her daughter-in-law doesn't stop her from doing it, so Jingyi's daughter-in-law has been familiar with the customs of Beiping since she can remember.

After getting married, I went to the Northeast, and I followed my sisters-in-law during the New Year's Festival, like now the seventh aunt is in charge, and she is more in charge of the rules of Beiping, she must have been very interested in the past, but now the tears are in the eyes from time to time, and you have to be careful, don't provoke other sisters-in-law.

The place where I lived for a long time was just cleaned up, and there was no need to clean up the people, and after buying all the New Year's goods, there would be nothing to do. So Jingyi's daughter-in-law took the time to go back to her parents' house.
