Chapter 271 Current Situation of the North China Military Region (2)
Xiao Juniang listened to Zhang Guomin, Luo Yong and others who complained about the soldiers from the south in the team who were not suitable for the food, plus the bowl of small rice with sand grains that she had just eaten, and her heart was full of sympathy for those soldiers who left their homeland and came to Shandong.
At this time, seeing Zhang Guomin inviting her to work in the cooking class in the army, I was excited, in addition to being able to help those soldiers, there was another reason, that is, if she went to the cooking class, wouldn't she be considered a person in the army?
"Then will I also be a member of the army in the future?" Xiao Ju Niang thought in her heart, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"This is natural! And how about a cooking class advisor for you? Zhang Guomin thought that most of the food problems would soon be solved, and the mood that had been depressed for a period of time suddenly brightened.
Because the food is really unpalatable, Xiao Ju, Xiao Ju Niang and Zhuang Zhuang have really suffered and struggled to survive all the way from the brink of starvation, and they value food more than ordinary people. Therefore, no matter how unpalatable the small rice with sand is, these three people still eat all the rice grains in the bowl. Xiao Sheng and Liu Yuan have always learned from Xiao Ju's family, but after barely swallowing most of the bowl of rice into their stomachs, it was really difficult to swallow. And the small rice in Zhou Limin and Zheng Jiaojiao's bowl, except for the first bite, has never been touched.
Seeing this, Xiao Ju had no choice but to say to Zhang Guomin, "Brother Zhang, you help me borrow a big bowl from the canteen, and I will take away the leftovers from their bowls, and then let my mother find a way to process it and eat it at night!" ”
Zhang Guomin is looking at the leftovers in the bowls of Xiaosheng and several of them in embarrassment, criticize it! before meeting. If you speak harshly to your comrades, especially Xiaosheng, won't it hurt their hearts to find the team all the way? What's more, the responsibility of the cooking class in this matter is greater, and there is so much sand in the cooking that it is normal for them to have difficulty swallowing.
But don't criticize, the food in the team is not easy to come by, but the people in the limited base areas have made it together. Such a waste of food is also a violation of military discipline. And Xiaoju's move just solved his dilemma.
"Xiaoju, thank you!" Zhang Guomin smiled and looked at Mimi, who hadn't seen him for more than half a year. Chrysanthemum is becoming more and more beautiful. Some distraction. And Zhou Wu, who had stayed aside and had not made a sound, as if he was an invisible person, suddenly coughed loudly as if he had accidentally choked on something he was eating.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ju, who had been focusing on Zhang Guomin because of the food problem, finally paid attention to Zhou Wu's storage.
"It's fine. I just accidentally choked on my own saliva! Zhou Wu said casually.
"It's okay! Oh. Brother Zhang. You sent someone to tell me Luo Dad, am I back? Seeing that Zhou Wu was fine, Xiao Ju immediately turned his head to Zhang Guomin and asked. And Zhou Wu, who was ignored, only felt very unhappy. Obviously, he knew Xiaoju earlier, but now it seems that Xiaoju is closer to Zhang Guomin. But when he thought of the fact that Xiao Ju asked him to secretly buy medical equipment with a large amount of silver dollars of unknown origin, he felt that Xiao Ju's heart was closer to him, and he even handed over such a heavy matter to him.
"Oh! I forgot about such an important thing! Don't worry, I'll let someone do it right away! Zhang Guomin then remembered that he was in a hurry, and he actually missed the most critical thing.
"Who do you need to send? Xiaoju, you let your mother stay here with the others to rest for a while, and I'll take you over to find your father! Your father Luo is very busy, but after so long, he is also very worried about you! You're back, you should have been the first to go to him! Luo Yong gave Zhang Guomin a blank look, he felt that this kid was unpleasant today, when he was in the back office, he stopped him from getting close to Xiao Ju, and then he sucked Xiao Ju's attention to him from time to time, as if he and Zhou Wu were outsiders! Why? When he and Zhou Wu met Xiao Ju, this kid didn't know where he was!
Xiao Ju heard Luo Yong's words and felt that it was better to go on a run by herself. First, it is now the period of the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, not to mention that in the past half a year, Luo Dad has fought and retreated with **, nominally winning the battle, but in fact, he was forced to give up the rich northern Anhui base and retreat to Shandong with the rest of the team.
Second, Luo Sen is her elder after all, she is back, and it stands to reason that she should go to see him first, but she was not sure that Luo Sen was in Yi County at first, and she didn't know the situation in Yi County, so she let Zhang Guomin arrange it. Now Rayong's words reminded her.
Xiao Ju glanced at Chao Niang, Xiao Ju Niang knew what she meant at a glance from Xiao Ju, and said busily, "Go ahead!" I'm waiting for you with everyone at Comrade Zhang's! Xiao Ju then said to Luo Yong, "Brother Luo, go!" Take me to Daddy! ”
As soon as Luo Yong saw Xiao Ju accept his advice, the depression caused by Zhang Guomin's behavior dissipated after seeing Xiao Ju, and he glanced at Zhang Guomin with some demonstration, and then he smiled toothlessly and left the military canteen with Xiao Ju, and Zhou Wu also got up and left, and looked at Zhang Guomin with a smile before leaving, so that Zhang Guomin only felt a cold air rising inexplicably on his back.
Originally, Zhou Wu heard that Xiao Ju was back, and his heart finally fell back to his original position after mentioning it for more than half a year, since he said goodbye to Xiao Ju in Muyang City and went out to carry out the dangerous and confidential task arranged by the organization, he often unconsciously appeared in his mind Xiao Ju's appearance of a word and a smile, as well as the bits and pieces of getting along with Xiao Ju's family, which was so warm and beautiful.
Therefore, when Zhou Wu was facing the danger of death several times, because he was bent on going back to see Xiaoju alive, and then tasting the comfort and warmth of getting along with Xiaoju's family, he could force himself to keep a clear and calm mind and try his best to escape from the enemy's encirclement again and again.
Unexpectedly, he finally survived, and tried his best to follow the traces of the team to Yixian County and join the troops, but he never expected that Xiaoju's family did not evacuate to Yixian. Originally, he always thought that his feelings for Xiaoju were the same as that of an older brother to his younger sister, because the intimate, casual and warm family feeling that Xiaoju's family got along with attracted him.
But after hearing that Xiao Ju was missing on the way to evacuate, his heart suddenly throbbed, and he had never known what tears were until he had shed tears after hearing the news of his brother's death, and at that moment, he burst into tears. At that moment, his heart, which had long been trained on the battlefield, became a little panicked.
Before leaving, he told Xiao Ju that when he came back, he hoped that Xiao Ju would promise him one thing. In fact, that incident was that he wanted to recognize Xiao Ju as his sister and wanted to become one of the members of Xiao Ju's family. And for most of the past six months, he has always thought that his feelings for Xiao Ju are like the feeling of his own sister, but after learning that Xiao Ju is missing, he knows that his feelings for Xiao Ju are no longer the feelings of relatives.
He just wants to hold hands with Xiaoju for the rest of his life. He didn't even know when this idea came about, only that he wanted to be with Xiaoju and build a warm and comfortable home like Xiaoju's family of three. So he has never given up looking for Xiaoju's whereabouts all along.
Zhou Wu knew that Xiao Ju's martial arts were not weak, and he also believed what Luo Yong said, if anyone had an accident, Xiao Ju would be fine! But he just can't let go of his heart, afraid of accidents! Only by doing something can he make his panicked heart a little more steady.
When Luo Yong hurriedly ran to sue him today, saying, "Xiaoju is here!" He was struck by the news in disbelief. He had been looking for so long without getting any news, and now it suddenly appeared, and this surprise was too big, and it made him stupid at once.
"Really! Zhou Wu! I was in Chai Yina just now, and an officer from the logistics department came to him with eleven Shandong big men, saying that Zhang Guomin asked him to bring people over! Those people came with a girl named Xiaoju and wanted to join the team! Luo Yong said with excitement on his face, "Zhou Wu, I asked those Shandong men, and from their descriptions, it was determined that it should be Xiaoju himself!" ”
Zhou Wu listened to what Luo Yong said, he didn't ask anything at all, and walked towards the logistics office with his feet raised. and Luo Yong trotted all the way to Zhang Guomin's office in the logistics department, and before he entered the door, he heard the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar crisp voice, through the open door, he saw the person sitting on the bench smiling and talking to people, Zhou Wu's heart felt complete.
Although he noticed Zhang Guomin's careful thoughts, because of the joy of seeing Xiao Ju for the first time, Zhou Wu didn't take the unhappiness in his heart about Zhang Guomin not letting people inform him that Xiao Ju was back in time. However, before leaving, Zhou Wu still threatened this good brother with his eyes, wanting to fight with him, don't blame the ruthlessness of the brother at that time!
As the protagonist, Xiao Ju didn't notice the confrontation between Zhou Wu and Zhang Guomin at all, she was all about Rosen, and she was excited to meet Rosen soon. You know, this is their family's backer in the army.
And Luo Yong kept asking Xiaoju like a long-tongued woman on the side, mainly curious about her experience for most of the year. Although Xiao Ju made an explanation just now, it was too rough to satisfy Luo Yong's already burning gossip heart. As for Zhou Wu, he just smiled and listened to the questions and answers between Luo Yong and Xiao Ju, as well as Luo Yong's voice of admiration and regret from time to time.
Unconsciously, these three people came to the staff office of the North China Military Region in Yixian County, Xiao Ju and the others saw through the open window of the staff office, and saw that there were many people sitting in the office, but it was very quiet, so they guessed that there must be a meeting inside. Seeing this, Xiao Ju was about to leave first and come back later. Unexpectedly, at this time, the door of the office suddenly opened, and a familiar person from Xiaoju walked out of it.
"Orderly Wu!" Xiao Ju exclaimed in a low voice. Yes, it was Xiao Wu, a small orderly who followed Rosen in Muyang City, who came out of the staff office. (To be continued......)
