Chapter Eighty-Four: Robbing

In the winter month, the weather is colder, although the production team is still working, but there is no need to get up early and be greedy for darkness, there is no agricultural time to catch up, and the old captain is relatively relaxed.

Zhou Yang's matter has been settled, and Zhou Wanwan is slowly becoming less pestering him, and now her main task is to coax Zhou Chen.

Zhou Wanwan knew that Zhou Chen would not really be angry with herself because of her clinging to Zhou Yang a few days ago, but no matter how intimate the relationship was, it needed to be maintained. Feelings are accumulated bit by bit, and they can be destroyed in the slightest. We can't be emboldened because our relatives are infinitely tolerant of us, and we don't care about his feelings. Therefore, in the past few days, Zhou Wanwan has taken out a more powerful entanglement skill than sticking to Zhou Yang a few days ago to stick to Zhou Chen.

"I want my second brother to wash my face."

"The food fed by the second brother is delicious."

"The second brother hugged me to sleep."

"Second brother accompanies me to play rope flipping."

"I like my second brother the most!"

"This egg is reserved for the second brother to eat."

……

Zhou Chen complained helplessly on the surface, "How do you know how to toss me", but in fact, he let him do whatever he wanted, smiling every day, and was very busy.

Zhou Yang didn't have to go to the infrastructure team this year, and his life was quite easy. Although I still went to work in the production team, the work was easy, I was full, and I jumped faster.

The fact that the Zhou Yang brothers did not go hungry this winter was not because Mrs. Zhou restrained herself at the dinner table and was willing to give them more meals, but because Zhou Wanwan and Zhou Chen worked together.

Zhou Wanwan repeated the old trick, focusing on the development of the two big mouse holes in Westinghouse, and got enough potatoes, sweet potatoes and soybeans for the brothers to eat in a winter. Zhou Wanwan can do so smoothly thanks to Zhou Jun, when he was plastering the wall in the summer, Old Man Zhou asked him to fill the mouse hole, he was lazy, and passed it perfunctorily, which allowed Zhou Wanwan, who was trapped in the house with limited range of activities, to find an opportunity.

Zhou Chen made a yellow mud brazier with a broken hole, and secretly burned it every day and put it in their house. Zhou Chunliang went to the Gancha River Water Conservancy Infrastructure Construction Team, and the three of them secretly opened a small stove for themselves in the West House, and no one knew about it.

In fact, the food of the Zhou family has been much better this winter, with sorghum rice and cornmeal, and occasionally some millet, and there are also potatoes, sauerkraut and some dried vegetables, so it stands to reason that the food should be passable. But no matter how many kinds of meals you have, you can't handle your cooking skills.

The three daughters-in-law of the Zhou family, Li Guizhi is a pig food no matter what she does, Wang Fengying is not as good as pig food, and Shen Yufen can barely eat it, but her stomach is eight months old, and she is like carrying a big watermelon in her arms, and when it is her turn to cook, it is always mush, and it is always because she can't stir the pot to boil the paste, which has to be made when Zhou Yang helps her bring the firewood back.

Mrs. Zhou didn't seem to see Shen Yufen's big belly, and she refused to let her do less work when she was supposed to do. Just because Zhou Chun was afraid that Shen Yufen would give birth to the child in Layue when he came, he couldn't come back, and he was a little reluctant to go. Mrs. Zhou starved Shen Yufen at the dinner table for several days, and only gave one bowl of rice for each meal.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen really couldn't stand it, so they helped Shen Yufen carry some firewood, carry a pig food bucket or something, and listen to Wang Fengying's words.

Even if the Zhou family's food is not delicious, the amount is still very small. Although there is more food on the table now than in the years when the disaster occurred, the amount has not changed much. Mrs. Zhou is still vibrant, and now she is not tired of work, why is she so good at eating? The grain will have to be saved for next year's busy farming season!

No one is a fool, of course he knows that Mrs. Zhou is just an excuse, and the Zhou family is now starving to save rations for Zhou Hongxiang's family.

The atmosphere of the Zhou family during this period was like a cylinder filled with combustible gas, and a little spark could erupt, but a news at the beginning of December was like fresh air, which made this dangerous cylinder cool down instantly, and everyone was shocked with the arrival of this news.

Zhou Chunfa's work has been settled. He was transferred to the township farmland infrastructure team as an accountant, and he was in charge of the money, food and materials of the entire farmland infrastructure construction team, which was really a fat shortage. Although he was not directly transferred to work in the township, this can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of the public house.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Chunfa's family were overjoyed, how many years had they been looking forward to this day, and now they finally saw hope!

The happiest is Wang Fengying, who now boasts of being a family member of a cadre, and when she goes out to visit the door, she holds her head high, saying "our cadres' families", and closing her mouth "In the future, my men will eat the supply of food."

Wang Fengying also refuses to wear the clothes that usually have big patches, the public food payment of the production team has not been sent down, and the Zhou family now has not a penny except for the few cents for selling eggs, and there are two patients, Zhou Hongying and Zhou Juan, who want to take medicine, of course, it is impossible to buy her new clothes. She found out a red blouse she wore when she got married, but fortunately, this dress has faded badly after wearing it for many years, and it is not too eye-catching.

But Wang Fengying's figure has been seriously deformed compared to when she got married, and she can't wear this dress, but she has inflated herself too much, thinking that people are going to be lucky and omnipotent, so she forcibly squeezed her bloated body into the short bloat.

Wang Fengying wore this dress at home, and the first one who was unhappy was Zhou Hongying, and her sister-in-law even had a dress without patches, so she didn't even wear it! If she hadn't been so hungry, she would have poured the noodle soup on her head!

Zhou Ling was also unhappy, "Mother! Didn't you say that the eldest sister wore this dress and left it for me to wear when I grew up? ”

Zhou Wanwan felt very ridiculous every day when he watched Wang Fengying walk from west to east with stiff shoulders and arms that couldn't turn back.

Zhou Wanwan was also puzzled by Zhou Chunfa's sudden transfer, in his previous life, he had been working as an accountant in the brigade, and he had never heard of being arranged to be in this kind of fat shortage, not to mention the fishy pheasants he had given to the leaders of the commune.

But Zhou Wanwan is not in a hurry, the higher she holds it, the heavier the fall, she will watch it first, let them be happy, the happier she is today, the more she will regret crying in the future.

These days, Shen Yufen's attitude towards Zhou Wanwan is getting better and better. Maybe it's about to be a mother, motherhood is bursting, and Zhou Wanwan is really beautiful and cute, she coaxes her to play for a while when she has nothing to do. also often asked Zhou Wanwan to touch her belly and asked Zhou Wanwan if she could have a son.

"It's a younger brother." Zhou Wanwan said affirmatively. In her previous life, Shen Yufen gave birth to sons in two consecutive births, because of this, her waist in the Zhou family was straight, and she was soon no longer the little daughter-in-law who only worked in the Zhou family and didn't speak when she first got married.

"If only I could give birth to a little girl like Nannan." Shen Yufen once said this to her mother with yearning.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirteenth day of the winter moon, and Zhou Wanwan came back for a year.

In the past year, she has allowed herself and her two brothers to grow a lot, and their current situation has also improved a lot. In particular, Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen's psychological growth and strength made Zhou Wanwan more confident in the future life of their brother and sister.

On such a special day, Zhou Wanwan was thinking about what to commemorate with his brothers, when Shen Guodong broke in.

This kid really broke in, the military jeep just stopped at the gate of Zhou's house, and the sound of the engine was still running, so he kicked open the door and strode in, followed by Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liang and two PLA soldiers with a nervous face.

Shen Guodong opened the door of Zhou's outhouse, and Zhou Xia, who was heating pig food in the kitchen, saw the menacing Shen Guodong, and was so frightened that the gourd scoop in his hand was crooked, and a scoop of pig food fell on his body, fortunately, the pig food in the pot was only warm, otherwise the consequences were really unimaginable.

Xiao Zhang behind Shen Guodong hurriedly stepped into the house, blocked Zhou Xia behind him, and looked at Shen Guodong nervously, "Guodong, you promised ......"

"Don't be busy, I promised not to cause trouble, but not to cause trouble, unless they provoke me, or I will never do it, okay!" Shen Guodong didn't even look at Zhou Xia, and strode towards the West House.

Zhou Xia trembled and went to carry the pig food bucket, and a PLA soldier immediately went to help her carry it out.

Xiao Zhang pointed to the East House, and another PLA soldier quickly stepped into the East House. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liang also immediately followed Shen Guodong into the West House.

As soon as Shen Guodong entered the West House, he immediately picked up Zhou Wanwan, who was practicing jumping lattices on the ground, and was not afraid that she would be afraid, so he swung several times in the air, and threw her up and down several times before holding her in his arms.

"Why are you still so little after so many days, and you don't grow meat, is it that your milk doesn't give you food and makes you starving?" Shen Guodong put Zhou Wanwan in his arms and looked left and right, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this little girl had been wronged.

Zhou Wanwan was speechless, have you ever seen a starving child grow so white and tender?

"Don't follow up! Go to that house and stay! Shen Guodong waved to Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liang, who were standing at the door after coming in with him.

Seeing that they went out, he smiled and hugged Zhou Wanwan and sat on the kang, "I'll bring you something delicious!" Shen Guodong took off the satchel on his body and poured all the contents onto the kang.

Two large apples, some peanuts and melon seeds, a dozen pieces of white rabbit toffee, a few pieces of fruit candy, a small bag of pastries, a small handful of raisins, bits and pieces of various things, each of which is not much.

Zhou Wanwan knew that Shen Guodong lived with Chief Shen, and had special subsidies for the children of martyrs, so the standard of living should be quite high. But this is quite high and relative to this era, so she guessed that these may be all the snacks he has eaten in the past three months, which he has accumulated little by little.

"! I was thrown into the army by my grandfather to exercise! Don't let you bring anything, that ghost place where birds don't! Nothing but stones! I snatched it from someone else. I don't know what you like to eat, so I brought it all, you tell me, what do you like to eat? Next time, I'll pick your favorite food to grab! ”

Zhou Wanwan blinked, feeling that she was really uninformed, Shen Guodong's behavior pattern was really not something that ordinary people could guess. And this guy's survivability is really not ordinarily strong, he can grab things unscrupulously in a strange place, why didn't the PLA comrades there kill him!

"What do you like to eat?" Shen Guodong has an unusual obsession with this issue.

Zhou Wanwan felt that it was better not to answer this question, otherwise Shen Guodong might bring her a lot of such "surprises" in the future, and it would also cause disasters to many people.

"Tooth marks!" Zhou Wanwan pointed to two tooth marks on a big apple that were a little discolored.

"This," Shen Guodong grabbed a handful of hair and smiled a little embarrassed, "That guy's mouth is too fast, and I have pressed it down, and I can still pounce on it and bite it." But this time I have experience, and next time I promise to come back with a snatch! ”

Zhou Wanwan was really speechless, discussing with him how to grab things? She really didn't have any experience with that.

Shen Guodong took the big apple, rubbed it casually on his clothes, bit off the piece with the tooth marks with a click, and brought the apple to Zhou Wanwan's mouth, "It's okay, eat it!" It's sweet! ”

Zhou Wanwan looked at the apple in her mouth, and she couldn't understand what Shen Guodong meant. Is he letting her pick up on the stubble he's bitten? They have all been bitten, what is the difference between what he bites and what others bite?

The things that Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen chewed crossed into Zhou Wanwan's mouth, and she could eat them without any obstacles, but others were completely different.

Zhou Wanwan lived alone in the space for decades in her previous life, and her heart has actually become a little lonely and lonely. When she came back in this life, although she was sweet and soft on the outside, except for her two brothers, she had always kept a distance from everyone in her heart. Therefore, Shen Guodong's enthusiasm and dedication to her, which is similar to a child's love of pets or toys, is really unacceptable.

"Oops! Haven't you had teeth yet? Can't bite it, right? Shen Guodong saw that Zhou Wanwan was staring at the apple and refused to eat it, and suddenly remembered that the last time they barbecued in the mountain, Zhou Chen chewed the meat and fed her.

Zhou Wanwan saw Shen Guodong's intentions at a glance, and quickly diverted his attention, "I want to eat sugar." ”

"If you call Brother Shen, I'll give you a piece of candy." Shen Guodong held a piece of candy and dangled it in front of her to tease her.

Zhou Wanwan tilted her head to look at Shen Guodong, a small strand of curly hair crossed her full and white forehead, which lined her eyelashes thickly and curly, and her eyes were bright and clear, "Isn't the sugar for me?" ”

"It's for you, it's all for you." Shen Guodong hurriedly pulled all the sugar over and piled it up in front of Zhou Wanwan.

"Then I'm going to eat sugar." Zhou Wanwan's big dark eyes flickered and looked at Shen Guodong.

"Okay, eat sugar, eat sugar." Shen Guodong hurriedly peeled off a piece of White Rabbit toffee, with the experience of the last time, this time he didn't forget to break a piece of candy into three pieces and feed it to Zhou Wanwan.

"After eating sugar, call Brother Shen, okay?" Shen Guodong still doesn't give up, he just likes to listen to this little girl call Brother Shen sweetly, every time he feels sweet and soft in his heart, his whole body is like soaking in warm water, very comfortable.

Zhou Wanwan grabbed a handful of peanuts and counted them in his hand, but he refused to agree to him. This guy actually threatened her with a piece of candy, did he think that children were easy to bully?

"The more I look at it, the more I think you're thinner." Shen Guodong took his thumb and index finger to circle Zhou Wanwan's wrist, measured it very carefully, thought about it and felt that it was inaccurate, and ran out to ask Xiao Zhang for a pen and made a mark on his finger.

"Next time Brother Shen wants to check, you can't lose any more weight." Then he picked up Zhou Wanwan and shook it twice, indicating that he also knew her weight.

Zhou Wanwan felt more and more that Shen Guodong was raising pets. It is also weighed regularly and the results of feeding are checked.

"Ah, by the way, I'll see how many teeth you have." said, regardless of Zhou Wanwan's struggle, he held her little head, opened her lips, and carefully counted Zhou Wanwan's small baby teeth.

"The teeth are growing very fast, eighteen, and I have already seen two big teeth." Shen Guodong was very happy, and wiped the saliva that flowed from Zhou Wanwan's mouth when he picked his lips. Then he casually wiped something on his pants.

Shen Guodong hugged Zhou Wanwan and sat on the kang again, rubbed her little curly hair with his face, and kept muttering: "It's so soft, it's so fragrant, how can it be sweet......"

Shen Guodong muttered to himself for a while, sighed contentedly, leaned against the wall of the kang head relaxed, and stroked Zhou Wanwan's hair with his hand, while telling her about his experience in the army in the past few months, "The training of combat troops is different, it is really strict, and it is really exciting!" I couldn't keep up at all when I first went there, and then Lao Tzu gritted his teeth and fought hard! Hehe, now that I can keep up with my physical training, I can already beat the squad leader in martial arts!

When I first went, my grandfather promised me that if I could bring down the squad leader of the recruit squad, he would let me come to see you, and today Lao Tzu will bring him down!

You wait, when I enter the top class, I can go home, and then I can come whenever I want!

My grandfather also said that I should go back to school after a year in the army, hey! Lao Tzu still has a year there? You can get the best grades in everything in a few months. Do you believe it? ”

Zhou Wanwan nodded vigorously, she really believed it. Doesn't it say that God is all fair, let this kid have a problem with his brain, of course, he will be compensated physically.

"I knew you could understand!" Shen Guodong happily kissed Zhou Wanwan's little curly hair and began to tell her interesting stories about the army. (To be continued.) )
