Chapter 12: Childhood Sweethearts

Crying, Mrs. Liu's tears are dry! Tonight, the four sisters of Aidao, Xigu, Weiji, and Nianshu are all crowded on a big kang, accompanied by Mrs. Liu, and Father Liu slept alone in the study, late at night, and the fire gradually went out, "Love Rice, you go down to the kang and fill in some coals!" Mrs. Liu commanded weakly.

"Auntie, I'll go down, second sister, don't move the nest!" Wei Ji jumped off the kang neatly while speaking, there are five uncles and sisters in the Liu family compound, the eldest sister Liu Simai married Huo Youzhi from Huoying Village the year before last, and after coming back to see off the two younger brothers during the day, he went back to his mother-in-law's house before noon, and the rest of the second Liu Aidao, the third Liu Weiji, the fourth Liu Nianshu, and the fifth Liu Xigu are all nestled next to Liu Lao Niang!

Wei Ji poked the hearth with the tongs, added some briquettes, and a thick yellow smoke burst out instantly, choking everyone coughing, "Third sister, you smoke mosquitoes!" "The little sister Xigu shouted and drilled into the arms of the fourth sister Nianshu, Nianshu and Xigu just went to school, they didn't know the taste of sorrow when they were young, and they were huddled together purely to be lively!

"Auntie, do you drink water? Shall I pour you a bowl? Wei Ji asked Mrs. Liu with concern.

"I'm not thirsty, you can go to the kang quickly, don't catch a cold." Mrs. Liu was choked by soot and coughed, Aidao used a headscarf to fan Mrs. Liu's head left and right, and she was choked to tears.

"Auntie, just put your heart in your stomach, I will recruit the army again in the spring, and I will get my aunt to agree to me joining the army, and when I Liu Weiji arrives on the Korean battlefield, I can help you take care of my third brother!" Wei Ji knew very well in his heart that whether he could join the army or not depended on the attitude of his eldest uncle Daddy Liu, and his uncle Wang Shouwu was a puppet, and he had to listen to Daddy Liu.

"Forget it, third sister, you have passed to the uncle's family to be a daughter, Brother Houzhang is your own brother, you have to take care of the fifth brother Houzhang when you arrive in North Korea, where can you take care of the third brother Yizhang?" Nian Shu pursed her lips and didn't believe what Wei Ji said.

"Sister Nianshu, what you said is not right, Sister Wei Ji has been the best friend of Brother Yizhang since she was a child, and Sister Wang Hui of her brother-in-law's family, they are inseparable, last summer, Sister Wei Ji fell from the roof, and it was Brother Yizhang who sent her to the township health center on a horse to bandage her, have you forgotten? There are also ...... "Xigu is like a few treasures to say a number of past events between Yizhang and Wei Ji, Xigu is the most clever of Daddy Liu's seven children, she especially likes to eavesdrop on adults talking and doing things, in her eyes, Wei Ji likes Yizhang more than anyone else."

"Xigu, you little girl always overhears me talking to the third brother, be careful that I tear your ears." Wei Ji scolded Xigu on his lips, but he was happy in his heart.

Liu Weiji has been wild since he was a child, riding horses, climbing trees, digging birds' nests, swimming, fighting in groups... She plays, the boy can play, last summer climbed the roof of the roof to dig out the eggs, accidentally fell off the roof, fortunately practiced kung fu for many years, and then came to an empty turn, let the leg touch the ground first, the calf was broken, it was swollen at the time, the pain made her roll on the ground, Yizhang hurriedly held him and rode to the health center of Liushui Township for medical treatment, Yizhang pulled the reins with one hand, and held Wei Ji tightly in his arms with the other hand, Wei Ji put his arms around Liu Yizhang's waist with both hands, she felt that the third brother Yizhang was like a mountain, solid and reliable, Smelling the special smell emanating from his body, his body couldn't help but tremble, and Yizhang asked with concern, "Wei Ji, does it hurt badly?" Bear with me, it's coming soon. "Third brother, I don't hurt, I don't hurt at all with you by my side."

The past is like smoke, although Liu Weiji was passed to Liu Wenzheng's house, usually living with Liu Zhongzhang and Liu Houzhang, but she has a soft spot for Liu Yizhang of her aunt's family, in addition to the worship of Yizhang, it is more of the budding of adolescence, Wei Ji's love is just beginning, since she was a child, she has no guesses with Yizhang since she was a child, and she inevitably grinds her ears and temples, and later she found that Yizhang and her cousin Wang Hui secretly got along, but she became more and more estranged from herself, which made her feel extremely aggrieved, how she hoped to go back to the past, not to grow up!

In this winter conscription, she is more active than anyone else, she joined the army just to be by Yizhang's side, to be able to share weal and woe with Yizhang, and maybe have a chance...... Wei Ji thought that she could be with Yizhang, her face turned red unconsciously, she was afraid that everyone would find out about her strange appearance, so she buried her head in the quilt, scolding herself in her heart for being unproductive and shameless! Yoo is the only man who often appears in her sleepland......

"That's the same reason, Wei Ji, if you can really be a soldier, it would be better to dare to be affectionate, you can take care of Brother Yizhang and Brother Houzhang, and my mother and uncle will also save themselves from being afraid!" Ai Dao said this deliberately to Liu Lao Niang, so that she felt better, in fact, Ai Dao knew that even if Wei Ji really went to North Korea as a soldier, he might not be able to be in the same army with Brother Yizhang, even if he happened to be in the army, Wei Ji couldn't take care of Brother Yizhang, but needed Brother Yizhang to take care of her.

Aidao pushed Wei Ji's shoulder and began to help her come up with ideas, "Wei Ji, in fact, you don't have to carry a gun to fight on the front line like Brother Yizhang, you can be a health soldier or a literary soldier, so that you can be more sure to persuade my father to agree to you join the army." You see, Aunt Liu Muyan in our Liu family compound, she was an ordinary health soldier when she joined the army, I heard my uncle say that Aunt Muyan is now a military doctor, and her level is quite high. Tomorrow, I will go to my father with you and ask him to agree to you being the security director and militia company commander of Shuangliu Village, so that if you are conscripted again in the spring, you will have a greater certainty of joining the army. ”

Listening to Aidao's idea, Liu Lao Niang and Wei Ji both clapped their hands and praised, Wei Ji excitedly hugged Aidao's neck and said with a smile, "Second sister, it's still your idea, tomorrow we will go to my eldest uncle, to be a security director For me, it's not Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts, it's a piece of cake!" I can do a better job than that king Shoujian with my eyes closed, auntie, you have to say good things for me! ”。

"My eldest niece, if you really want to be a security director, don't beg me, I never talk to your eldest uncle about public affairs, you still go to your sister-in-law Huilan for help, insurance works, your eldest uncle spoils her the most!"

"Auntie, you're right, my aunt spoils my sister-in-law, it's better than me and Sister Aidao, I'll ask my sister-in-law for help tomorrow, anyway, she comes to our Liu family's compound every day, this matter is settled."
