Late that night, Xiao Ju quietly left the place of Shatuji and hurried in the direction of Lunan in the direction of his memory. She wants to do her best to find the village called Hejiazhuang where Niang and Zhuang Zhuang stayed, and then find a way to take Niang and Zhuang Zhuang away from Hejiazhuang and transfer them to Shanghai to get a new identity.

Xiao Ju was in a hurry, silently thinking about the future of the family in her heart. In addition, along the way, you have to carefully avoid the armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the speed is naturally not as fast as you are in a hurry, but after a day and a night, you came to Antun Niang and the strong Hejiazhuang.

When Xiao Ju arrived at Hejiazhuang, it was four or five o'clock in the morning, and the entire Hejiazhuang was still shrouded in darkness. She jumped softly into the courtyard and stood by the window of the main room, tapping her fingers lightly.

Sister-in-law He's sleep at night has always been light, Xiaoju's sound of knocking on the window was soon heard by the vigilant her, she was afraid that she had heard it wrong, and she lay quietly on the bed and listened for a while, making sure that someone was indeed knocking on the window of her house, so she reached out with some worry to push He Dayong, who was lying next to her and was sleeping deeply.

"What's the matter? It's not even dawn yet! Let me sleep again! He Dayong, who was pushed awake by Sister-in-law He, opened his eyes slightly, and found that the room was still dark, and couldn't help muttering a little unhappily, and then turned over and fell into a deep sleep again.

"Master, wake up! I hear someone knocking on my window! Listen! Sister-in-law He was a little anxious, and her strength to push He Dayong unconsciously increased a few points.

"What did you say?" He Dayong, who was in a daze, was completely awakened by his daughter-in-law's words. Drowsiness has long since run out of the clouds.

"Listen!" Sister-in-law He gently 'shhhhhh He Dayong, who had settled down, soon heard the rhythmic 'bang, bang, bang' sound of the window being knocked. He Jiazhuang was still in silence in the early morning, and the sound of Xiaoju knocking on the window was particularly prominent, and He Dayong didn't hear it at first, because he was still in a state of sleep, and his five senses had not yet woken up.

At this time, He Dayong was reminded by his daughter-in-law, and naturally heard the rhythmic tapping sound on the window edge very clearly, he gently moved off the kang, put on his coat, walked lightly to the window, and stood quietly for a while, the knocking sound was still ringing persistently.

"Who!" He Dayong was bold and asked in a low voice.

"Xiaoju! The girl who entrusted her mother and brother to your house last time! Xiao Ju knew that she appeared in this way, and it was easy to scare people. But she couldn't help it, she didn't want the rest of the village to notice her coming.

"It's Aunt Liu's daughter!" had already quietly followed the kang, and Sister-in-law He, who was standing beside He Dayong, reminded in a low voice with a little surprise and surprise, because He Dayong did not answer for a long time when she heard Xiaoju's answer, which made Sister-in-law He a little anxious.

"Wait! I'll open the door! He Dayong was still a little hesitant, after all, it was very chaotic outside, I heard that there were wars everywhere, and I heard that the communist army was chased everywhere by those **.

He Dayong was worried that someone had a heart to test him, but after thinking about it, when the big and small ones in the family came from their own family, no one else in the village saw it, and for so long, whether it was someone from the family or someone came to visit, the two mothers and sons had escaped, and no one knew that his family had hid such a pair of mothers and sons, and after thinking for a while, he dared to answer.

Soon, He Dayong came to the hall and opened the door of the hall lightly, because the door of the hall was too old and too long, and the squeak of the doorpost when opening the door made He Dayong startled, as if he felt that the squeak could wake up the whole village from his deep sleep, and found this secret of his house.

Xiao Ju didn't wait for He Dayong to come back to his senses from the sound of opening the door, and slid neatly through the crack in the open door into the house. almost collided with He Dayong's sister-in-law who was standing next to him.

"Sister-in-law He!" Xiao Ju quickly reached out and pulled Sister-in-law He, who was knocked backwards by her.

"Is it really you? Aunt Liu's daughter? After Sister-in-law He stood firmly, she asked urgently. Because it was four or five o'clock in the morning, it was still dark, and He Dayong was afraid that the lighting would be noticed by someone who cared about it, so he did not agree to light the lamp. Therefore, it was pitch black in the hall, which was why the sister-in-law asked.

"Hmmm! It's me! Are my mother and brother okay? Xiao Ju asked in a low voice.

"Your mother's wounds are well healed! Daughter-in-law, you take Xiaoju to her mother's room! As soon as Xiao Ju came in, he quickly closed the door and answered the bolt.

"Xiaoju, go this way!" Sister-in-law He listened to her man's words, and immediately took Xiao Ju towards a door on the right side of the hall. Xiao Ju's vision in the dark is as clear as in the day. She turned against the guest and helped Sister-in-law He, who was stumbling a little in the dark, to walk in the direction she wanted.

When Xiao Juniang was half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to hear her daughter's voice calling her, she wanted to sleep more deeply, so that she might be able to see her daughter's appearance in the dream, so she couldn't help but close her eyes a little tighter. Xiao Ju was naturally able to see the subtle expression on her mother's face clearly, and couldn't help laughing, "Mother, you haven't opened your eyes yet!" I'm really a chrysanthemum! ”

"Xiaoju? Is it really you? Are you really here? Xiao Ju's words immediately made Xiao Juniang, who was half asleep and half awake, wake up instantly. If it weren't for the inability to use her injured right hand, she might have to roll over and get up.

Xiao Ju saw that her mother hadn't gotten up from the kang for a long time, and knew that her right hand had been injured by shrapnel, so she only felt that her eyes were sore, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother up and lay down on the kang. And he sat next to her. As for Xiao Ju Niang, she had already grabbed Xiao Ju tightly with her left hand, for fear that Xiao Ju would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't leave you and Zhuang Zhuang in the future!" Xiao Ju looked at her mother's emaciated face and comforted her with some distress. She could guess what kind of torment her mother was suffering during the time when she was recuperating from her injuries at He Dayong's house.

Xiao Ju Niang's right hand is useless and can't use her strength, which means that the good cooking skills she can rely on for a living in this era are also useless. At the same time, because his right hand was useless, he could not do farm work, housework, or even needlework.

This means that Xiao Ju Niang stayed in He Dayong's house, and she completely relied on He Dayong's family to take care of her, not to mention that she was strong, how could Xiao Ju Niang, who was only busy working non-stop for the first half of her life, stand it? What's more, the mother and son are unrelated to the He family, and Xiao Juniang's heart is naturally extremely uneasy and insecure!

"Sister! Sister? Isn't it you? You're here to pick me up and my mother, aren't you? Zhuang Zhuang, who was sleeping next to Xiao Ju Niang, also woke up at this time, this guy turned over and got up, regardless of his little manly face, just like when he was a child, and threw himself into Xiao Ju's arms. And Sister-in-law He is also a very discerning person, and she has long since withdrawn from the side room where Xiao Ju Niang lives and gave up the space to Xiao Ju's family.

"Hmmm! It's Sister! Sister Ah came to pick up her mother and Zhuangzhuang! Xiao Ju hurriedly opened her hands and let Zhuang Zhuang pounce steadily into her arms.

"Mother, I knew that Sister Ah would come back to pick us up! Just like in Hujiazhuang back then, my mother and Zhuang Zhuang didn't eat, and they almost starved to death, and Zhuang Zhuang always believed that Sister A would come to me and my mother! It was exactly what I thought it was! Zhuang Zhuang put his arms around Xiao Ju's neck with a proud face, and turned his head to Xiao Ju Niang.

"Yes! Be! My family is so smart and capable, your sister is willing to care! Xiao Juniang half leaned on the pillow, half funny and half pleased.

"Mother, you can't use the strength of your injured arm, right?" Xiaoju's words revealed a bit of guilt, after all, her ability was not enough, and she couldn't let her mother and Zhuang live in peace and live without worry.

"It's okay! Isn't my mother's left hand okay? What's more, the feet are fine, so that the mother can still run around with Ju'er and Zhuangzhuang, the mother is already very satisfied! Xiao Ju Niang, who was determined because of Xiao Ju's arrival, showed a hearty smile as usual on her face. Unconsciously, Xiao Ju has also become the most powerful support in Xiao Ju Niang's heart, as long as Xiao Ju is by her side, all the difficulties seem to be no longer in mind.

At this time, He Dayong and his wife, who were standing quietly in the hall, heard a burst of cheerful low laughter from the side room where Xiao Ju Niang lived, although they had lowered their voices, but they could still hear it clearly at this silent moment, and both of them couldn't help but feel a little sour and happy in their hearts.

"In charge, now there is chaos outside, Aunt Liu's daughter must not have eaten seriously in order to rush over along the way, I will go to the kitchen to help her get some food! Go get some sleep again! "Sister-in-law He used her elbow to push He Dayong.

"What do you sleep on? It's almost dawn! I'll just go into the mountains to see if I can get some game and come back, and everyone will open the meat! He Dayong thought about it, the livestock raised at home had already been snatched up by the ** who had entered the village to be fed, and there were only some coarse grain noodles and millet left in the kitchen. Now that Aunt Liu's daughter is here, there is really nothing to scoop up to entertain, so it is better to go into the mountain early in the morning to see if there is anything to gain!

"You're going into the mountains?" When Sister-in-law He heard this, her tone immediately showed nervousness, "You can only be on the periphery, not in the mountains!" A few days ago, He Shi in the village ran into a blind bear when he entered the mountain, and he almost came back! ”

"Know! I'll just walk around the periphery and see if there are any pheasants and hares! You don't have to worry, I have a spectrum in my heart! He Dayong said indifferently.

Soon, He Dayong scooped up the family and went out at night! And Sister-in-law He stayed by the courtyard gate for a while before closing the courtyard door and going to the kitchen. rs
