Chapter 154: Xiao Ju Niang and Zhuangzhuang's Resident Life (2)
Liu Zhu's sacrifice of food was really a timely rain for Captain Deng, and he was a little relieved that he was worried about the grain, oil and salt every day, if what Liu Zhu said was true, then the station could last a few more days. It's a pity that Director Xiao's words squeezed out his joy again.
"Captain Deng, there is discipline in the organization, and you can't take a stitch from the masses! Now you take someone to Xiao Ju's house to drag grain noodles, that's a disciplinary thing! Instructor Xiao looked at Captain Deng with a dark face.
Although he is also worried about the supply of the station, this does not mean that he can mess around. What's more, Xiaoju is still risking her life in Wuhan to work for the organization, not to mention that the grain and noodles at her home do not belong to the station, so what is the difference between bringing people to the door to haul the grain?
"Can't I donate voluntarily?" Liu Zhu looked at Captain Deng's cowardly expression and was a little anxious.
"Does Xiao Ju Niang know? Can you be the master of the Xiao Ju family? Instructor Xiao was very aware of Xiao Ju's condition, and when he heard Liu Zhu say that Xiao Ju had left the rations for her mother and brother before leaving, he felt a little unhappy.
On the one hand, he was unhappy that Xiao Ju didn't trust him and Captain Deng to take care of her mother and brother, and on the other hand, he was angry at Liu Zhu's self-assertion.
It was the rations that his niece left for his family, and although this guy had a good heart, it was very dangerous for him to make his own decisions without asking for the owner's consent. It is easiest to develop the problem of unorganized and undisciplined, although the starting point is good, but in a team, unorganized and undisciplined people, no matter how good the heart is. The damage inflicted on the team is immeasurable.
"I haven't had time to talk to my second sister yet!" Liu Zhu listened to Instructor Xiao's questioning, and then realized that he didn't say hello to Xiao Ju Niang, so he told the two heads of the station the grain noodles left by Xiao Ju, and his face suddenly became unpleasant.
After listening to Liu Zhu's answer to Instructor Xiao's question, Captain Deng's face was even darker, this kid really has no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well! Even the owner of the grain noodles didn't notice it, and dared to let himself bring people to drag the grain. Isn't that making you make mistakes? But he didn't blame him at all for being anxious.
"That's it. Liu Zhu! Later, you can go back and talk to your second sister about this! And Captain Deng and I will go to your house in the afternoon to sit and chat! Although Instructor Xiao didn't want to touch the Loudi that Xiaoju left for her mother and younger brother, after all, it was for the sake of the station and the overall situation. This kind of ego still has to be sacrificed. Finally spoke.
"Good! I'll go back to her now! Liu Zhu held his rice bowl. didn't say goodbye to Captain Deng and Instructor Xiao, and hurried home.
At this time, Xiao Juniang was feeling comfortable with her daughter's arrangements before leaving, you know. In the past few days, the food in the resident canteen has been getting worse and worse, and today it is simply a paste of wild vegetables, and I can only eat two meals a day.
In the past few years that she and Zhuang Zhuang have followed Xiaoju, they have long been accustomed to eating three meals a day, that is, the year of escaping the famine, and they are also full of bread and bread for three meals a day, but they have only been in this station for more than half a year, and the living standard of the station has returned to the state of Hujiazhuang. If it weren't for the grain left by Xiaoju, Zhuang Zhuang would not be able to eat enough. She still counts, if Zhuang Zhuang can't eat enough, the little body will definitely not grow well, and when Xiaoju comes back, she will die of heartache. You must know that the relationship between these two sisters and brothers is not ordinarily good!
Xiao Ju Niang was happily frying small cakes on the stove, while Zhuang Zhuang was sitting on the stove and burning the fire. Today's bowl of paste in the canteen is not full at all, and she has to grow her body if she is strong, and she was arranged by the logistics department to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables with her family members in the morning, and to serve the vegetable field in the station. Doing only two meals a day and eating wild vegetables without oil and salt, where can this person stand it?
Fortunately, I still have food at home, so I can hide and add food, otherwise, this day is really difficult. Xiao Ju Niang sighed while thinking, I don't know how to live at home where there is no food! At this time, Xiao Juniang didn't know that Liu Zhu had already told the family about the food and noodles and the station.
"Second sister, I want to talk to you about something!" Liu Zhu, who had already returned, saw Xiao Ju Niang, who was frying cakes with a smile on her face, and stood up from the stove from time to time, drooling and looking at the strength of the bread in the pot, and the words choked in her mouth, and she felt that it was difficult to speak.
"Oh? What's up? Pillars, didn't you eat enough in the cafeteria, right? Wait a minute, the pancakes will be ready in no time! Xiao Ju Niang smiled and turned her head to Liu Zhu.
"Second sister, the station is running out of food! Let's donate some of our food and noodles to the team! Liu Zhu faced Xiao Ju Niang's smiling face, and couldn't make that request after all, so he simply closed his eyes and yelled in his heart.
"What did you say?" Xiao Ju Niang's hand shook, and the shovel of pancakes fell to the ground with a slap, and the sound of the 'clang' on the ground made Liu Zhu open his eyes in shock.
"I've already told the captain and instructor about the food at home, and they will come to talk to you in the afternoon!" Liu Zhu thought that those team members in the garrison would not have enough to eat, so they would not have the strength to deal with the Japanese soldiers, so when would the day when the instructor said that the Japanese soldiers would be driven out of China and all the poor people would have food, clothing, and fields to plant? The guilt for Xiao Ju Niang and Zhuang Zhuang immediately faded a lot.
"You damn it! That's what Xiaoju left to me and Zhuangzhuang! Zhuang Zhuang is so small, I can't stand to be hungry, I haven't seen Xiaoju come back yet, we have to live! Are you trying to force me to die with Zhuang Zhuang now? Well? You say? As soon as Xiao Ju Niang reacted, she immediately pounced towards Liu Zhu like a fried lion.
Liu Zhu also knew that by doing so, he was tantamount to taking away the rations of his second sister and nephew, but when he thought of what the instructor said, sometimes for the sake of the revolution, after all, some personal interests should be sacrificed, and for the sake of justice, personal interests should be sacrificed, and personal interests should be sacrificed, that heart seemed to be much harder.
Liu Zhu let Xiao Ju Niang beat him indiscriminately for a while before he said: "Second sister, you and Zhuang Zhuang are just two people starving, and when we drive the Japanese soldiers away, there will be thousands of people who will no longer have to starve, don't you think it's worth it?" ”
"I don't care about others, I just want my strong and full of food! I don't understand what the instructor said, I just know that I want my Xiaoju and Zhuang to live well! But you, who were blinded by lard, now even have to calculate the rations of the strong, when Xiaoju left, I don't know who still promised to take care of me and the strong? That's how you're taking care of us now? Xiao Ju Niang even cried and scolded.
Liu Zhu listened to Xiao Ju Niang's crying and scolding, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, and then he looked at him standing aside, looking at his strength with red eyes, his heart softened, and he regretted it a little.
"Uncle, don't you like Niang and Zhuang Zhuang anymore?" Zhuang Zhuang asked in a choked voice. Since he was a child, he has been battling hunger,
He has an extraordinary fear of hunger, when his mother was crazy for half a year, he followed his mother, because he was too small and his ability was limited, and in order to keep an eye on his mother, he was afraid that even the only mother by his side would be lost, and he didn't dare to go too far to find food.
During that time, the feeling of starvation and death hanging over his head at any time had been deeply seared into the depths of his strong soul. It wasn't until Xiao Ju came to him later that he was slowly brought out of that shadow. But since then, he has a special dedication to eating, and at the same time, he is also very protective of food.
At this time, from the conversation between his mother and uncle, he was very keenly aware that there was a crisis in the family's food stock, and the strongest backer in his heart ==== Xiaoju was not around at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart.
"Zhuangzhuang, your mother is my sister, and you are my nephew, how can I not like it?" Liu Zhu saw Zhuangzhuang's appearance of crying but not crying, and explained with some sadness.
"In that case, then why did you give away the grain and noodles left by Sister A? I don't think you like me as much as my old uncles! They always rob my family's things, and you take my things and give them away! Zhuang Zhuang looked at Liu Zhu with some annoyance, and the eyes that were full of admiration before were suspicious and wary at this time.
"This ......" Liu Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard Zhuangzhuang's words.
After Xiao Ju Niang cried and scolded, and then thought about Liu Zhu, who was staying at home less and less during this time, as soon as she got home, she also opened her mouth and closed her mouth about the interests of the country and the people, plus she didn't say a word to her today, so she handed over the food and noodles at home, and she was a little discouraged.
She picked up the shovel that fell on the ground, washed it, shoveled the bread in the pot into the basin, and said to Liu Zhu a little coldly: "Fill your stomach first, didn't you say that the captain and instructor will come later?" "Xiao Ju's family's meal is very dull, and there is no joy at all.
After the Chinese food was added, Xiao Ju Niang cleaned up the hall and boiled a pot of boiling water. As soon as the water boiled, there was a sound outside the gate of the courtyard, and Captain Deng shouted a little roughly: "Sister Liu, are you at home?" The instructor and I came to the door to chat! ”
"It's coming! Here it comes! Xiao Ju Niang straightened her clothes and went out of the hall to open the door. Although she knew the purpose of the two leaders of the station to come to the house, and she was not welcome and happy in her heart, she was not a stupid person, and she knew that her family was staying on each other's territory now, so she naturally didn't dare to give each other a face.
Soon, Xiao Juniang went to open the courtyard door, welcomed Captain Deng and Instructor Xiao into the hall, and poured a cup of white open for everyone, as for Zhuangzhuang, small people, they will not hide their thoughts, plus protect food, for the two people who came to snatch him from eating, they naturally will not have a good face, at this time, they are sitting in their own room with a stinky face, guarding the grain noodles placed in the corner, and their eyes are red and they call 'Sister' aggrievedly in their hearts!
