Chapter 180: Liu Zhu's thoughts
As soon as Xiao Ju's words fell, a glass of boiled water appeared in front of her, and Xiao Ju raised her eyes to see that it was Mimi's uncle who was smiling. She reached out and took the water, and drank it clean in one sip, which made Liu Zhu feel a little distressed and said: "It's not that you don't have clothes to wear, don't be in such a hurry to buy them, see that you are tired like this, and besides, if you don't have water to drink outside, you should come back early!" ”
"Uncle, of course the matter of buying clothes is urgent! You look at what you're wearing, it's clean, but it's all patches on patches, in the previous living environment, everyone looked like this, and we were the same as everyone else, so we didn't pay attention.
But now we live in this place, surrounded by rich people, although we don't have to dress like those rich people, but at least we can't dress worse than those servants of their family, so that we don't live here in a very obtrusive way, out of place with the surrounding environment and people. This is also a type of hidden market.
Also, uncle, I want to ask you, do you have any plans for the future? Say it, let's read it together! Xiao Ju drank the glass of water, only to feel that her thirsty throat became comfortable, although she was very moved by Liu Zhu's concern, she still said her true thoughts without reservation. If you want to live a good life in the future, it is not enough for her to work hard alone, and the whole family has to work hard.
"Xiaoju, you're right, my uncle thinks badly! In the future, if there is anything wrong with the uncle, you have to give a reminder in time, the uncle doesn't want to make another mistake like the mountain station in Chenjia Village! Liu Zhu rubbed his hands together and stood beside Xiao Ju with a look of shame.
"Uncle, we are a family! Which accounting is better? Not to mention the life of a person. Who doesn't have a time when they make mistakes? You haven't told me yet, what are your plans for the future? Xiao Ju smiled and replied in a soft tone.
"Xiaoju, in fact, I think" Liu Zhu stunned for a while, but didn't say what he thought. Xiao Ju looked at the struggle on Liu Zhu's face, a little puzzled.
"Uncle, if you have any ideas, just say directly, everyone is a family, all for the sake of the family to live a better life in the future!" Xiao Ju saw that Liu Zhu didn't say what he thought in his heart for a long time. guess if it's because Liu Zhu's ideas are not very beneficial to the three people in his family. Just like the grain and noodle incident in the station, if this is the case, then don't blame her for not recognizing this uncle.
The first time a person makes a mistake, it can be said that it is unintentional. The second time you make the same mistake as the first time. That can be defined as selfishness. only cares about his own thoughts and pursuits, but does not care about the life and death of his family and friends. If you still blindly forgive this kind of person, Xiao Ju feels that she can define herself as a virgin.
"Xiaoju. In fact, I imagined that Luo Lin and them would join the New Fourth Army, although after so many things during this time, I didn't blindly worship and believe what Instructor Xiao said as I did at the beginning, but I want to go out and see, and at the same time I want to follow people like Luo Lin Luo Gui to see more!
Xiaoju, don't laugh at my uncle, in fact, I listened to the truth that Instructor Xiao said in the station, and I felt very right in my heart, I used to be in Liujiazhuang all year round, tired to death, but I couldn't even eat, and those corrupt officials, corrupt officials, landlords, and old wealth didn't have to do anything, they could eat big fish and meat!
Forget about these, our ancestors have no ability to go to school except for a mind to dig in the soil, so the ignorance from generation to generation continues, generation after generation lives at the lowest level of society, generation after generation is the one who is oppressed, I am not reconciled! I want to do something to change that! Liu Zhu became excited as he spoke, and at the same time, his eyes shone differently from usual.
"Uncle, I understand!" Xiao Ju listened to Liu Zhu's words and pondered for a while before replying gently.
"Xiaoju, don't get me wrong! Although I really want to join the New Fourth Army, I don't worry about you! Your mother is a woman with two children, in case someone is wronged, there is no one who even comes out! Liu Zhu's face was entangled.
"Uncle, you don't have to worry about this! I believe I can protect my mother and Zhuangzhuang! What's more, I already have arrangements for my mother and Zhuangzhuang, you don't have to worry about them being bullied! Xiao Ju was already sitting upright on the bench at this time, her right hand subconsciously tapping on the armrest of the chair, but her mind had already begun to think about Liu Zhu's whereabouts.
At this time, Zhuang Zhuang had long since disappeared in the pile of pockets, and was looking at Xiao Ju and Liu Zhu with a confused expression, not knowing that these two people were stern when they said this. Xiao Ju Niang just popped her head out of the kitchen when Xiao Ju came back, and she was still buried in the kitchen cooking dinner for a few people in the family.
"Of course, there is another reason why I have not been able to make up my mind to go to the army, and that is that I am afraid that I have become the kind of cannon fodder that you often say! Xiaoju, you must know that in addition to following you for a period of time, your brother-in-law has gone to and from study classes on the station, and he has never attended school at all, nor has he read any books! People are not smart and flexible enough, and they are often deceived and don't know, plus those things in the station, which makes me even more ......" When Liu Zhu said these words, his eyes were entangled and confused.
Xiao Ju has never seen this kind of uncle, most of the uncle in her impression still stays on the honest and a little clever young man in the northern countryside, it seems that knowledge can change a person's life, knowledge is the source of strength, these words are indeed the truth.
Because Liu Zhu was literate, he carried out the initial enlightenment of the Bolsheviks in the station, which made his thinking metamorphose, and he had begun to break away from the thinking of the peasant class all along, in fact, in Xiaoju's view, this was a good start.
"Uncle, there are two sides to everything, as long as you analyze and observe more in the future, many things can be avoided! Of course. Even so, going to the army is also at risk! But, uncle, what is there no risk in doing anything? Even if you are farming at home, you may encounter all kinds of disasters, and you will lose your harvest and die of starvation! Xiao Ju persuaded.
"That's right! It's me who wants to fork in! Liu Zhu listened to Xiao Ju's words, and his face began to show excitement again.
"Uncle, if you really want to go to the army, I'll talk to my father Luo and see if he can give you a better arrangement, when you get to the army, if someone takes care of you, life will be better!" Xiao Ju observed Liu Zhu's expression as she spoke.
"Really? Xiaoju, this is great! Liu Zhu looked surprised. Xiao Ju knew Liu Zhu's innermost pursuit from Liu Zhu's expression and words, with this kind of pursuit, Xiao Ju naturally would not stop it, and would help him in the back, hoping that he could go further, maybe he would really become a backer for their mothers in the future!
Of course, if Liu Zhu himself didn't have this idea, Xiaoju's head would be bigger, because with Liu Zhu's current ability, it would be really difficult to find any good jobs in Wuhan. But let Liu Zhu go to the capitalist's factory to work, or to pull a rickshaw? Xiao Ju is not very willing to let Liu Zhu do these jobs without prospects. But if he is allowed to stay at home every day and do chores, Xiaoju is even more reluctant to see this kind of scene appear.
To be a comprador in a foreign bank, Liu Zhu can't even recognize all Chinese characters, how can he know foreign languages? Follow her and Zhuang Zhuang to school? It's too old again. Thinking about it, but joining the New Fourth Army is the best way.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll go to Wuhan in a few days and ask Daddy Luo!" Xiao Ju thought for a while and gave Liu Zhu a positive answer.
And although Zhuang Zhuang didn't understand a lot of Xiao Ju and Liu Zhu's words, he knew one thing, that is, his uncle was going to leave them and join the New Fourth Army. This guy finally solved the knot of the grain and noodle incident in the station, and finally reunited with the family, and had a beautiful house to live in and beautiful clothes to wear, but the uncle said that he wanted to leave.
"Uncle, is it that some time ago, Zhuang Zhuang ignored you, and you were angry that you wanted to leave us?" Zhuang Zhuang asked with a crying voice.
"Strong, no! And it was originally the uncle's fault, and it should be strong and angry! Liu Zhu saw that Zhuang Zhuang turned into the eyes of a little rabbit, and this person panicked.
"Zhuangzhuang, come and sit here with my sister! Don't shed kitten tears, the little man who is going to school, cry at every turn, and your classmates will laugh at you! Xiao Ju patted the open space of the bench where she was sitting and beckoned to Zhuang Zhuang.
"Sister, I'm not crying! But is my uncle angry with me, that's why he wants to leave here and stay with us? Zhuang Zhuang tried hard to hold back his tears, but because he didn't succeed, he even had snot flowing out, which made Xiaoju look funny and moved. And Liu Zhu saw Zhuang Zhuang's face full of tears and snot, so he immediately went to wet his towel and brought it over, and helped Zhuang Zhuang wipe his face a little clumsily.
"Zhuangzhuang, my uncle is not angry with you, think about it, you want to go to school, and then learn your skills, so that your mother and sister can enjoy your blessings in the future! My uncle can't go to school, but he also wants us to enjoy his blessings and protect us. So he's leaving us now to seek development, do you know? Xiao Ju tried her best to explain in plain and understandable language that Liu Zhu was leaving.
"What is the quest for development?" Zhuang Zhuang opened his teary eyes, as if he understood and asked. Xiao Ju looked at her strength with puzzled eyes, and was so choked that she just wanted to hit the wall. Zhuangzhuang, are you really not embarrassing your sister?
"Zhuangzhuang, in fact, my uncle is not leaving you, but my uncle can't stay at home every day without doing things? Uncle just went out to find something to do, so as to reduce your sister's burden! When Liu Zhu saw that Xiao Ju was also asked, he didn't feel a little funny. At the same time, he found a reason that was the most acceptable to be strong.
After hearing this, Zhuang Zhuang immediately collected his tears, and at the same time said: "Uncle, I will work very hard, and when I grow up, I can go out and make money for my mother and sister!" These words made Xiaoju sad and happy to hear it.
