Zhou Yuehai was born in 1929 and is the eldest son of Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou, five years younger than his eldest nephew Zhou Xiaoshui.

The old couple has a son in old age, but they are not spoiled, of course, the eight generations of the Zhou family are poor peasants, and they don't have that condition if they want to spoil Zhou Yuehai.

Zhou Yuehai went to the carpenter shop with Mr. Zhou to do groceries at the age of six, and officially became an apprentice at the age of eight.

When Mrs. Zhou died at the age of fifteen, Zhou Dahai and his wife had already settled in the Peizhou Coal Mine at that time, returned to their hometown to sell the old house and an acre of thin land, and just buried Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Yuehai followed the passing People's Liberation Army.

This is five or six years without any news.

When Zhou Yuehai appeared in front of the Zhou family again, he was already the commander of a reconnaissance company of a reconnaissance battalion of the People's Liberation Army.

The war of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation tempered him into an iron-blooded soldier, and the shadow of the little carpenter back then can no longer be found on his body.

In fact, the Zhou family has never been familiar with this little uncle, they had already moved to Peizhou when he was born, and it is good to meet once in a few years, and they may not even know each other when they meet on the street.

After liberation, he just hurried back to say hello and left again.

Until Zhou Dahai died in the mining accident, Zhou Yuehai came back and silently took on the responsibility of raising his nephew and niece.

Even so, the Zhou family is still not familiar with him.

His money and goods arrived on time every month, but people did not show up once in a few years, and even letters were sent every year with a few words to report peace.

It is said that he later participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and he was also shadowed in several small-scale secret battles on the border, and the reconnaissance battalion he led made many meritorious contributions, and he himself was already a colonel.

After Zhou Xiaolin, the third brother of the Zhou family, joined the army, the family knew more about his great achievements and military exploits, but these were only heard from other people's mouths, and he never mentioned these things to the Zhou family.

Every time he came back, he had a meal and left in a hurry. The first time Zhou Xiaoan saw him was in 1949, and he only saw a gray back striding away -- the troops had not yet changed their uniforms at that time.

In the next ten years, Zhou Yuehai only came back three times, and Zhou Xiaoan didn't see Zhou Xiaoan the first two times.

The third time they met was the year before last, Zhou Xiaoan tried to search for her memory, that time she seemed to be stubborn with Wang Lamei for something, and she was a little afraid of this majestic and silent little uncle, she lowered her eyes and said hello and went to the kitchen to work, Zhou Yuehai ate and left, so that Zhou Xiaoan didn't even see what he looked like.

The impression of the little uncle in her heart was just that he changed from a gray military uniform to a green military uniform.

But when I saw that time, Zhou Xiaoan was still hidden in a large family, and today, two years later, Zhou Yuehai was able to recognize her at once, and the eyes of the reconnaissance hero were really powerful.

The aura of the reconnaissance hero was even more powerful, he said that he refused, and even the aunt, who had always been so enthusiastic that she couldn't listen to words, no longer had the courage to entangle, and watched him stride away.

The aunt watched Zhou Yuehai go out with regret, turned around and stared at Zhou Xiaoan with bright eyes.

Zhou Xiaoan's scalp was numb when she saw her, and he suddenly had a sense of crisis in the face of the teaching director after he had an accident in middle school.

"It turns out that you are Zhou Xiao'an!" The aunt sat on the edge of the bed, took Zhou Xiaoan's hand and began to sigh, "This is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple!" We're a family! You don't know me? I'm Sister Lao of our mine union! Today I am here to express my condolences to you on behalf of the miners! ”

Sister Lao didn't give Zhou Xiaoan a chance to speak at all, so she took her hand and began to persuade her, "Xiao An! You're still young, and you have a long life, but you can't think about it like that! Everything is organized! The organization will definitely call the shots for you! ”

Zhou Xiaoan took the opportunity to wipe his eyes with a handkerchief to withdraw his hand, people with social phobia basically have different degrees of contact disorder, and physical contact with strangers will increase the discomfort and tension in their hearts.

Sister Lao didn't notice her discomfort at all, looked at Zhou Xiao'an, who was bowing her head and wiping her eyes, and then persuaded, "Xiao An, let's catch up with a good time!" New China has improved the status of our women, and we no longer have to be oppressed and exploited! We have to take a long-term view and work hard to build a new China......"

Sister Lao talked to herself, Zhou Xiao'an listened for a while with a wooden face, and saw that she was getting more and more excited, so she could only interrupt, "Sister Lao, I didn't want to commit suicide, everyone misunderstood." ”

Sister Lao looked at Zhou Xiaoan's calm face, and didn't believe her words at all. This is like death and no love, this is not to give up the idea of suicide!

Sister Lao is the vice chairman of the trade union, and she is very sharp-tongued! began to break open and crumple to reason with Zhou Xiaoan, vowing to pull this poor girl back from the line of death!

Sister Lao's mouth was like a river, the more Zhou Xiaoan listened, the more expressionless her face became, and as soon as this Sister Lao opened her mouth, she was embarrassed......

But no matter how unwilling she is to face it, she must face it, just like Zhou Xiaoan's life, no matter how bad it is, she has to muster up the courage to manage it well.

“…… It's not easy for everyone to rescue you, you see your uncle, he was so anxious that he didn't have time to move the ladder, and he climbed three floors in a hurry......"

Speaking of Zhou Yuehai's heroic deeds, Sister Lao's eyes lit up, her somewhat swollen and yellowed face was dyed with excitement, and even Zhou Xiaoan, who had been silent, was infected and raised her head.

"Sister Lao, you are my savior!" Zhou Xiaoan grabbed Sister Lao's hand through the handkerchief and held it heavily.

She still didn't have any expression on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Sister Lao, looking very serious, "My life was saved by you, in order to live up to your hard work, I have to live well in the future!" ”

Sister Lao did not take credit, "It is Comrade Zhou Yuehai who saved you......"

"Sister Lao!" Zhou Xiao looked at her steadily, "If you hadn't kept persuading me, I would have jumped down a long time ago, and now I might have stopped in the morgue......"

After Zhou Xiaoan finished speaking, he couldn't help but press his eyes with a handkerchief again.

Sister Lao also became excited, "You stupid girl! Why can't you think about it like that! ”

"Sister Lao, it's not that I don't want to live, you know, I really can't live this day......" Zhou Xiaoan couldn't go on anymore.

Sister Lao immediately followed with red eyes, "It's not!" Who doesn't know about you now! It's really a hard job, why did you say that you had to put this thing on the table......"

Sister Lao is soft-hearted and loves gossip, and it is perfect to work in the trade union. Zhou Xiaoan covered his eyes with a handkerchief, he didn't have to look at people, he eliminated a lot of nervousness, his brain turned faster, and he took out Sister Lao's words in a few words.

Now the entire mining area may know that Zhou Xiao'an, an unlucky girl who has been married for three months and is still a virgin, will become even more famous if the news of "suicide" spreads again.

But these worries are useless, the most important thing at the moment is to find someone who can help her in the mine. Her severely malnourished body will definitely not be able to support it if she goes back to move stones.

Zhou Xiaoan interrupted Sister Lao's gossip, she couldn't pretend to cry, her low voice carried a light sorrow, but it was more touching than crying:

"Sister Lao, I admit everything else, but after only three months of marriage, I let their family be hospitalized, and the landlord Lao Cai is not so cruel to the child daughter-in-law...... It's a good thing I didn't conceive a child, or I ......"

If Sister Lao is placed in modern times, she will be able to mix well in the entertainment industry, her feelings are very rich, and she enters the play quickly, Zhou Xiaoan treats her as a life-saving benefactor and is grateful and dependent, she immediately has a sense of responsibility, Zhou Xiaoan's words of preparation just started, and she patted her chest:

"Don't worry! Since the eldest sister has saved your life, she can let you live! Everything is organized for you to decide! I can't let you be bullied anymore! ”

"Big sister! I'm all up to you! Zhou Xiaoan once again shook Sister Lao's hand.

The road should be taken step by step, and it is more effective to reap the benefits when you see a good situation than to rush for quick success.

Sister Lao saved a young life from the death line, her sense of responsibility was bursting, her work enthusiasm was high, and she comforted Zhou Xiao'an well, and went out in a hurry, "Comrade Zhou Yuehai is a big hero who can't be invited!" I have to ask him to make a report to the young workers in our mine! ”

Sister Lao went out, and the round-eyed little nurse carefully handed it to Zhou Xiaoan with a bowl of hot noodle soup, and spoke softly, for fear of stimulating her again, "That comrade of the People's Liberation Army said that it was your uncle, and he left you money and food stamps at the nurse's station. ”

Zhou Xiaoan bit the tender sugar-hearted poached egg and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. Fortune and misfortune depended on each other, she made a fuss, found two backers for herself at home and at work, and the road ahead finally saw a little light.
