When Xiao Ju hurried back to Hankou and returned to the villa in the former French Concession, where she is now home, Xiao Ju Niang was taking Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Zhu to tidy up the vegetable patch in the back garden. Xiao Ju looked at this scene, her heart was soft, and she was in a good mood and shouted: "Mother, Zhuangzhuang, uncle, I'm back!" ”

When the three of them heard Xiao Ju's cry, they hurriedly straightened up from the vegetable patch, and saw Xiao Ju standing next to the door leading to the back garden in the living room, and their faces were full of joy. Especially Zhuangzhuang, he immediately jumped and ran towards Xiao Ju, and regardless of the mud on those two little hands, he stretched out his hand and threw himself into Xiao Ju's arms.

Xiao Ju didn't pay much attention to it, and after standing firm with Zhuang Zhuang in her arms, she asked, "Why don't you have to go to school today?" ”

"Well, I got my books and school uniform yesterday, and today just happened to be a break! No need to go to school! Zhuangzhuang's voice was full of joy.

"No one is sorry for you at school, right? Is the teacher good to you? Xiao Ju asked with concern. She also carefully considered sending Zhuang Zhuang to the co-educational school.

The school that Zhuang Zhuang attended was not very famous, and most of the people who went to study were ordinary people with a little spare money, and only a small part of them were relatively wealthy private capitalists. But it's not a particularly rich family like He Xiaolong's family, or a young lady of a bureaucratic warlord family like Xie Meina and Zheng Jiaojiao, or a young lady from those families, Zhuang Zhuang will not be bullied in this kind of school!

Even if you are really bullied, people like this who have no background or do not have a deep background, and then bully back, you don't have to worry about being retaliated by the other party's adult.

"No one bullied me! The teachers were also very nice to me! Zhuang Zhuang replied with a smile that he couldn't see his teeth. He finally went to school as Sister Ah said. He loves the school so much. Not only is the house beautiful, but there are all kinds of things to play in the school, I heard from my classmates, those are called sports equipment! He is looking forward to his future days in the academy more and more.

"Then you have to come on! Strive to be better than Sister A! Xiao Ju touched Zhuang Zhuang's head with a relieved face, it seems that Zhuang Zhuang has grown a lot taller, he used to be almost a head shorter than her, but now he is only more than half a head shorter, and then he hugged the little man in his arms a little harder, and he is not as branded as he was some time ago. It seems that there is plenty of nutrition during this time. The meat is starting to grow back again. If you find a way to buy some imported milk powder for Zhuang Zhuang and her mother to drink, it won't be long before the bodies of these two people will fully recover.

"Sister! I will! Zhuang Zhuang smiled widely, although he was almost starved to death at the station. The shadow of being burdened has not yet completely dissipated. But the moment in front of him filled him with new aspirations for his future life.

Xiao Ju Niang also has a big lump in her hand. Standing in the vegetable field that had not yet fully opened, he looked at the pair of children who were interacting with each other with a smile, and felt the deep affection between the two children in addition to blood. I was very relieved.

God treats her well, although her own man Hu Dazhuang is unreliable, as her daughter said, he is a man who knows right and wrong and only knows foolishness, but no matter what, he gave her a pair of good children and gave her hope for life.

And as soon as Liu Zhu saw Xiao Ju come back, he had been standing in the vegetable field being excavated with a hoe, looking at Xiao Ju with expectant eyes, he knew that Xiao Ju went to Wuhan yesterday for him to participate in the New Fourth Army, and when he came back at this time, I don't know if it has been done?

Xiao Ju's five senses are so strong, and she naturally felt the joy that Xiao Ju Niang exuded after seeing her and the expectation and anxiety that Liu Zhu exuded. She smiled brightly at Xiao Juniang, and then turned to Liu Zhu and said, "Uncle, I have already told Daddy Luo about you, he asked me to take you to Wuhan as much as possible, you hurry up and clean up, let's go over immediately!" ”

Xiao Ju Niang was anxious when she heard this, "Xiao Ju, so anxious?" Can't leave after lunch? ”

"Mother, this matter can't be delayed! Don't look at the surrender of Japan now, but it's not as peaceful as you think, and the sooner my uncle leaves, maybe it will be safer! Xiaoju patiently explained.

When Liu Zhu heard Xiao Ju's words, he was stunned for a moment, he thought that as soon as Japan surrendered, everyone would at least be able to live the kind of life that they had before, although they were not full, but at least they were peaceful, and looking at the place where Xiao Ju lives now and the arrangement, it should not make the second sister and Zhuang Zhuang lack food and clothing, not to mention that the people living around here, judging from their clothing, should be rich people, how can they not be safe?

"Xiaoju, if it's not safe, I'm gone, and you're left with three mothers and sons, and there's no big man here, what should I do? I still won't go! Although Liu Zhu's heart wanted to go, he couldn't help but hesitate again when he thought that as soon as he left, there would only be women and children left in the family.

"Uncle, a manly man, don't worry about what you decide! Don't worry, my mother and Zhuang Zhuang will protect me very well! It's you, when you go to the army, you have to have a few more eyes, don't have soft ears, and don't be too one-hearted, the people I entrusted can help you once and for all, and in the end you still have to rely on yourself. Xiao Ju saw that Liu Zhu was hesitating there again, and couldn't help but say angrily.

Don't have a big man in the house? What's wrong with no big man? With her Xiaoju mind and martial arts, can't she even protect her mother and Zhuangzhuang? Coupled with the food piled up in the small space, if the worst really happens, just find a hidden place to hide, rely on the food in the small space, as long as you can endure the loneliness, it is not a big deal to hide until the end of the Liberation War and then come out.

Think about it again, in the Houshan station of Chenjia Village, what if there is a big man like him at home? If you don't feel the same way, your mother and Zhuang Zhuang were almost starved to death!

Liu Zhu looked at Xiao Ju's dark face, and suddenly thought of the life in the back mountain station of Chenjia Village and the mindless things he had done, and then thought about the past two years, with the second sister's family, Xiao Ju was actually worried about inside and outside the family, and he was really stained with Xiao Ju's light if he survived. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bow his head, a little sneering.

"Zhu, you go back to your room to take a shower and change into clean clothes, and I'll help you pack up some things to take away!" As soon as Xiao Ju Niang heard that she was staying here, her safety was also not guaranteed, and she had already thrown the little bit of disagreement in her heart with Liu Zhu's idea of joining the New Fourth Army out of the clouds, and urged urgently.

When Liu Zhu returned to the room to take a shower, Xiao Ju Niang helped him collect the clothes he wanted to take away in Liu Zhu's room, and after following up, the two sisters and brothers who had been fighting each other said: "Ju'er, did your father really help your brother-in-law arrange a safe place in the army?" ”

"Well, mother, don't worry! In the army, if you can follow the leader as a service soldier or a logistics soldier, it is actually not dangerous! Xiao Ju comforted. In fact, this era is not like the previous life, after doing duty and logistics soldiers and medical soldiers in the previous life, there is no danger, but that is because the weapons have advanced to the point that they are all long-distance battles, and there is no need to fight at close range.

In this era, the weapons are not advanced, ** is better, relying on the assistance of the United States, it can be regarded as a pioneer in weapons, and the Communist Party is really millet plus rifles, and the war still relies on the tactics of the sea of people and the fearless spirit of not being afraid of death and hardship.

But Xiao Ju naturally didn't dare to tell her mother, otherwise, she would definitely stop Liu Zhu from going. But where is there a risk and a reward? The only thing Xiao Ju can do to help Liu Zhu now is to minimize the possible risks.

"Xiaoju, it's not that your mother won't let your brother-in-law go! If it were you, although my mother was worried, she would not stop it, because my mother knew that you were smart and would definitely be able to protect yourself. But your brother-in-law is different, he is a heartless person, and he can't figure out the situation after being coaxed by a few kind words! Xiao Ju Niang said worriedly while packing up her things.

"Mother, don't worry! The incident where my uncle passed by the station, has grown a lot now! will also use his brains, and then the person entrusted by Luo Dad will point out again, maybe when we meet my uncle again, my uncle will surprise you! Xiao Ju comforted.

"Alas, I don't know if your grandparents are here, they will agree to your brother-in-law to join the army!" Xiao Juniang was in a daze and sighed.

"Mother, you don't have to worry, I think my grandparents and a few uncles will definitely be able to escape to a place to eat when they escaped from the famine! They must have survived! Xiaoju didn't know how to persuade her mother, so she had to comfort her on the good side.

"I hope so!" Xiao Ju Niang was stunned, after all, she just sighed, and still quickly helped Liu Zhu pack up her things.

When Liu Zhu came out of the bathroom in clean clothes after taking a shower, Xiao Ju took a look and found that it was one of the three sets of clothes he had bought for him the day before yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhu changed into new clothes, and the whole person looked handsome. Of course, it has a lot to do with his tall figure, plus the good food during this time, the flesh on his body has grown back, although his facial features are still ordinary, but because of his reading and literacy, he has been running around in the past few years, and he has increased his knowledge.

In fact, the clothes that Xiaoju bought for Liu Zhu were the kind of clothes that ordinary people often wear with gowns on their upper bodies and trousers on their lower bodies. Liu Zhu may have never worn clothes without patches, and he was a little uncomfortable standing there at this time and seeing several people in the family staring at him.

"Wow, uncle, you look so good in this dress!" Zhuang Zhuang screamed in surprise.

Liu Zhu was already a little uncomfortable, but when he was shouted like this by Zhuang Zhuang, his face immediately turned red! Zhuang Zhuang ignored his discomfort, turned around and shouted at Xiao Juniang: "Mother, I will also take a bath later, and change into the new clothes that Sister bought for me!" ”

Because of Liu Zhu today, Xiao Ju Niang wanted to open the vegetable patch in the back garden, these two people had been boiled out of hard days, and naturally they would not be willing to wear the new clothes that Xiao Ju bought for them to do rough work, no, the three of them were still wearing the patches and patches of clothes before.
