The village chief and several villagers were full of doubts, especially the village chief, who was also a man who had lived for more than fifty years, and had also gone out of the village to wander outside when he was young. Later, because of the warlord scuffle, he returned. When the Japanese soldiers invaded, he also led the villagers to try their best to deal with and confront the Japanese soldiers who came to the village to sweep the village.

But now the Japanese soldiers surrendered and left, and the communist army in China fought again, although he was also a little puzzled, but when he confronted the Japanese soldiers before, he had touched the communist army's troops, and felt that the communist army was a force that was very considerate of the people. It's not like **, the binding force on the soldiers is poor, every time you pass through the village, it is equivalent to a sweep by Japanese soldiers. Therefore, not only him, but also the people in the village are biased towards the communist army.

The village chief has such a rich life experience, so he has naturally developed a pair of sharp eyes, and he still has his own set of ways to see people. Yesterday, he carefully looked at the few people who stayed in the village, and felt that although these people were not very old, they were full of righteousness, and then they looked at the big and small wolf bèi, which should be the reason for hiding everywhere.

At the same time, he thought that the communist army was currently at war with **, and ** was encircling and suppressing the communist army everywhere, so he guessed that these people must have a certain relationship with the communist army, so as soon as his heart softened, he first made his own decision to give a foothold. At that time, he mainly looked at the two little boys pitiful, the weather was getting colder and colder, and if he continued to hide in the wild, he would freeze to death if he did not starve to death. But at this time, seeing this renovated courtyard, I have a new view of the few people who look weak and small.

The village chief and the old man motioned for a villager to come forward and knock on the courtyard door, and it didn't take long. I heard the door of the courtyard squeak open a small crack in the door, and a little girl's head poked out of the crack in the door.

"Village Chief, is that you? Come in! Come in! Xiao Ju opened the courtyard door, and when she saw the group of people in the village chief, she immediately showed a surprised and happy smile on her face, and opened the courtyard door wide.

The village chief and the elder walked into the courtyard with a few villagers with an unconcealed curiosity on their faces, so as soon as they entered the courtyard, the eyes of these people looked around, and the more they looked at it, the more surprised they became. In just one day and one night. The big and the four small ones actually cleaned up the yard and the house neatly. A few villagers didn't have any other thoughts, but the village chief and old man were a little more vigilant, and even looked at Xiaoju with a little sharpness in his eyes.

The village chief and old man thought about it and felt that since he had agreed to the other party's temporary settlement in the village. And judging from the qiē in front of you. These people should not be viewed through the eyes of ordinary people. At present, it is still good friends, and no offense is the best. The village elder who had figured out the joints immediately showed a kind smile on his face, "Little girl." What's your name? I'm not going to go in! I came here this time mainly to tell you that several elders in the village have agreed that you have settled in Haozhuang! ”

"Grandpa the village chief, my name is Xiaoju! This is my mother, surnamed Liu! Thank you for allowing us to stay! We will definitely abide by the village rules and will not cause you trouble! Xiao Ju smiled and said words of thanks, and quietly introduced herself and her mother.

"Village Chief, we're probably going to be bothering you here for a while! Your village is called Haozhuang? When I came in yesterday, I found that your village is quite big! Xiao Ju Niang's smile was a little flattering!

"Sister Liu, you're welcome! When you are away from home, when you don't have a problem, you can help if you can. But you are also amazing, you only moved in yesterday, and today you have repaired the dilapidated house and courtyard of Hao Shi's house so well! Originally, I brought these house-builders from the village over to see if I could help your family! The village elder said polite and complimenting words, and at the same time quietly revealed the doubts in his heart.

"Village Chief, you've won the prize! As for the yard, it was not very broken, and Xiaoju and Liu Yuan have been used to all kinds of work since they were children, these two guys got it late last night in order to keep their two younger brothers from freezing, and got up very early today to do it so-so. I want to thank the village chief for his trouble! "Xiao Ju Niang has been running around for the past few years, but she can be regarded as having experienced, and her ability to talk nonsense with her eyes open does not need to be taught, but she is also very proficient.

"Sister Liu, you have just settled, there must be a lot of things, and there are so many of us, so I won't trouble you. If there is anything, come to the village to find me, my name is Hao Dayong! Village Chief Hao Dayong looked at the small courtyard again and said with a smile.

"Then I'm going to trouble the village chief again!" Xiao Ju Niang replied with a smile as she walked towards the courtyard gate with Hao Dayong's footsteps.

"What's the trouble? Sister Liu, after living for a long time, you will know that our people in Haozhuang are very good! Hao Dayong's face was full of pride, this is not that he boasted, the people of Hao Zhuang have always been very united and mutually helpful, otherwise when the Japanese soldiers entered the village to sweep the village, if they did not work together, like other nearby villages, there would be no more villagers left.

Xiao Juniang enthusiastically sent the village chief Hao Dayong and several villagers out of the courtyard gate, and stood in front of the courtyard gate until she couldn't see the other party's figure, and then closed the courtyard door with relief. And Xiaoju has been standing in the courtyard and laughing at her mother's calm response, in fact, she is very emotional about her mother's current appearance, the environment not only forces the child to grow up, but also forces the honest person to be sleek.

"Xiaoju, I finally fooled people away! Alas, my mother's heart is still beating wildly, worried that they will ask where the things at home come from! Xiao Ju Niang patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, you will be more and more able to bluff people!" Xiao Ju smiled and stepped forward to hold her mother's arm.

"You Nizi, you still come to laugh at your mother! I'm not here for you, I'm worried about your affairs being discovered by those people! Xiao Ju Niang glanced at Xiao Ju, but there was no displeasure in her tone.

As soon as Xiao Ju and Xiao Ju Niang entered the hall, the three pairs of eyes stared at them, you must know that although these three people stayed in the hall very honestly just now, their good ears were all pointed, and they were very curious about the people outside.

"It's okay, it's the village chief's grandfather and a few villagers, one is to tell us that we can live here, and the other is to help us renovate the house." Xiaoju doesn't want to hide it from these guys, after all, if you want to survive in this era, it's best to let everyone know what kind of environment you are in since you were a child.

"Great! Sister, we finally don't have to hide! Zhuang Zhuang listened to Xiao Ju's words, and immediately shouted happily, and Xiao Sheng naturally did the same. As for Liu Yuan, the tension on his face disappeared at once, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Be strong, be prepared for danger in times of peace! Do you understand? Now that there are wars going on everywhere, who knows how long this village will be peaceful? Xiao Ju glared at Zhuang Zhuang and said.

"That's right! Alas, sister, when do you think we will be able to live a stable life and no longer have to run around like this? As long as I can go to school well, I will eat the meat film made by my mother when I go home every day, and then I will be very satisfied when I see my sister, like when I live in Muyang City! Zhuang Zhuang asked, with a yearning on his face.

"There will be a day like this soon! When the time comes, you will go to the best school! We're a family of three! Xiao Ju was stunned by Zhuangzhuang's words for a while, and then replied with an affirmative face.

"Brother Zhuangzhuang, Xiaosheng will also be with you!" As soon as Xiao Sheng heard Xiao Ju's words, he was not happy, and said a little unhappily with his mouth bulging high.

"Good! At that time, Xiaosheng will live in a room with Brother Zhuangzhuang! Let's go to school together! Xiao Ju touched Xiao Sheng's little head soothingly, but sighed secretly in her heart, Xiao Sheng's parents don't know who they are, how to find them then, is it really possible to let him follow his family?

Think about it in the memoirs of many old revolutionaries in my previous life, I saw that on the road of the Long March, or on the way to war, because the conditions were too difficult, in order not to drag the team back, and in order to let the children have a chance to live, they had to entrust their newborn children or children who were too young to the local villagers, and some children were accidentally separated when the team moved to avoid the enemy.

If Xiaosheng hadn't been carried on her back and escaped. But if Aunt Xie is still following him, life and death are unpredictable now. After all, Xiaosheng's Aunt Xie doesn't know martial arts, she is still a woman, her strength is limited, how fast can she run with a child in her arms? Think about it, Xiaosheng's parents entrusted Xiaosheng to others at that time, which was also a helpless move! After all, Muyang City will soon be encircled and suppressed, and when the enemy is strong and I am weak, everyone is not sure of victory, right?

Xiao Sheng smiled because of Xiao Ju's promise, and happily played with Zhuang Zhuang on the fire pit again, and I don't know where these two little guys got the stones. At this time, I was playing a stone game and having fun. Xiao Ju sighed in her heart, a child is still a child, as long as there is food and shelter, no matter how big it is, it doesn't matter. Only a pseudo-child of himself would be so worried, right?

"Xiao Ju, you said that after we settle down in Haozhuang, do you want to find a way to find the comrades who were transferred from Muyang City with us?" Liu Yuan, who had been sitting silently on the fire pit, suddenly asked.

"Don't bother looking for it! When we entered the village, I observed the surroundings of the village, in fact, Haozhuang is surrounded by hills on three sides, we can use the excuse to go up the mountain to hunt some wild animals for the winter, and if we can meet our people around, then let's talk! Xiao Ju thought about it for a while, and finally said her true thoughts, you know, Liu Yuan is a little older than her, everyone is in the same boat now, can't everything just worry about her, right? No matter what, Liu Yuan has to bear some of it, right?

"Good! I'll go with you then! Your mother is at home with Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaosheng! Liu Yuan listened to Xiao Ju's words, his eyes lit up, and his face was happy.

Liu Yuan is not like Xiaosheng, he is already a teenager, and he has begun to have ideals and ambitions, he feels that he may not be as good as Xiaoju in terms of survivability, but in the army, on the battlefield, he is definitely stronger than Xiaoju. After this period of running, Liu Yuan was very eager to find the team, and after he decided to find the team, he would no longer obey his father's arrangement, and he would join the army and go to the battlefield no matter what, and it would be worth dying to die. Instead of being chased by ** running around like now, and dying a nest!
