Text 005 Chapter 5 Grandma's Nagging Grandma's Nagging

Some historians say that China's territory and territory were not obtained through war and conquest, but more through the flow of refugees. Wherever the refugees produced in the turbulent years go, the inheritance of Chinese civilization will be carried with them. Then there is blending, assimilation, merging. As for whether it should be resolved peacefully or by war, that is only a pathway, not a fundamental. In people's eyes, they only have to expand their territory, but they don't know how many blood and tears of the people are there.

In the 21st century, there are very few wars and turmoil on the earth, but in the northern part of Burma, which hangs in the southwest of our country, the beacon fire has lasted for more than 60 years, and the smoke of gunpowder has been permeated to this day.

More than a hundred years ago, the British, colonized here. More than 70 years ago, the Japanese drove out the British. Later, the Chinese and American allies drove out the Japanese and allowed Burma to become independent. After independence, Myanmar was incapable of national unity. The Panglong Agreement, which allowed all ethnic groups to retain a high degree of armed autonomy, reluctantly brought the independent forces under the same national flag. Due to the involvement of various interests and the participation of various forces, to this day, there are still constant conflicts and smoke everywhere.

Today, there are three main forces: the Burmese government army, the ethnic local armed forces, and the influence of the flower planters. In addition, large countries such as Britain, Toyo, and Polar Bear each have their own agents seeking their own interests, and the third brother next door also comes to intervene from time to time, making the turbulent situation even more dangerous.

The only exceptions in this land that ordinary people avoid are drug dealers, criminals, poachers and some desperate people in the hinterland, who regard this place as a paradise. Among them, there are many Han Chinese in the Gokan area, and it is the first choice for some special groups in China.

The flower planters across the mountain are prosperous and stable, and it looks like a paradise in the eyes of the locals.

Lingnan, northern Guangdong.

One afternoon in summer, in a courtyard in a small county town, an old woman in a wheelchair was sitting a meter away in front of the TV, her eyes opening and closing to catch a fish, not knowing whether she was watching TV or listening to TV. Her pale hair looked a little thin, but it was neatly combed, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more and more visible. She didn't care what was playing on the TV, she had to listen to it to sleep peacefully. But it is such an old lady who hangs the curtain, and her grandson Wang Xiaoyu still thinks that her grandmother is very nagging.

The news broadcast was broadcast on TV, and the voice of the female announcer came clearly: "In the selection of '100 heroes and models who have made outstanding contributions to the Chinese nation and the founding of New China', General Dai Anlan, a general of the national army, was named '100 heroes and models who have made outstanding contributions to the founding of the Chinese nation and the founding of New China'."

The old grandmother suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the screen tightly, with a strange look in her pupils. The picture on the TV was only a few seconds, and Master Dai's appearance had been deeply reflected in her mind. The old grandmother opened her mouth and shouted: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, come out quickly."

"Coming", the kitchen answered, and a young man with a beard ran down, his name was Wang Xiaoyu, which was the Xiaoyu in the grandmother's mouth. Short thick black hair, thick and dense; Medium stature, with a swarthy skin characteristic of Southerners; There was also a double happiness cigarette on the ear, and the cigarette butt was tilted diagonally into the sky, like anti-aircraft missiles on both sides of the main battle tank. When he was just born, his grandmother asked someone to show him his face, saying that he was short of water in the five elements, and his father Wang Guodan was a science and engineering man, thinking that rain was the source of all water on land. His mother, a Chinese medicine practitioner, insisted that the five elements should be mutually reinforcing, yin and yang should be balanced, and even if it rains, it should be done in moderation. If there is a rainstorm, do you have to fight the flood with the whole family? Du Fu's "Spring Night Rain" says: "Sneak into the night with the wind, moisturize things silently." Since it is moisturizing things silently, the rain can't be heavy, and if it rains, a light rain is enough, so let's call Wang Xiaoyu. The name Wang Xiaoyu was gradually perfected by the family.

"Tea or water? Why don't you pour you a glass of milk? Wang Xiaoyu passed by her grandmother as she spoke, without stopping, and walked to the coffee table without squinting. He had just returned from the same forest farm where he was bidding for drones, and he was still numb in his butt after two hours of sitting on a motorcycle with two large backpacks on his back. As soon as he put down his luggage and went to the kitchen to get something to eat, his grandmother started calling him.

Grandma grabbed him and said, "Look, well, Master Dai is on TV again, why is there no news of your grandfather?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu was a little helpless in his heart, and said: "Grandma, I have told you many times, grandpa, they entered the Savage Mountain, and when the people who went in came out, there was not one out of ten, so many years have passed, and there is no news, they are scattered." Wang Xiaoyu didn't dare to say that his grandfather was dead, because when he said this ten years ago, his grandmother chased him all over the yard with a whip.

"But, didn't it be said on TV that Master Dai and they were back?" Grandma looked at Wang Xiaoyu and prayed.

Wang Xiaoyu scolded in his heart, damn TV series! It makes people want to sleep when they see it, and after all these years, grandma has not insisted on watching the martyrdom of Master Dai. I have explained to my grandmother many times, but it has no effect, and Wang Xiaoyu didn't want to say it anymore for a while.

Grandma saw that Wang Xiaoyu didn't speak, so she nagged: "That year, I was only three months after I passed the door, and that dead ghost went to join the army, saying that it was to fight Japan and defend the country......

"I know. I know", Wang Xiaoyu hurriedly interjected: "It was 1941, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a difficult period, all China's coastal ports fell, and a Yunnan-Burma highway became the only land passage for China to obtain international aid to China. The Japanese army launched a Burma campaign aimed at cutting off the Yunnan-Burma road. In order to protect the Yunnan-Burma Highway, China sent an expeditionary force to Burma to fight against Japan, and my grandfather Wang Lizhi followed the 200th Division with Commander Dai to Burma. Grandma, you've spoken it more than a hundred times, and I can memorize it."

Grandma sighed and said, "Hey, I've said it more than a hundred times, asking you to go and find out about your grandfather, but no one goes, poor old man, you can't even get the bones back when you die", and her eyes turned red after speaking.

Wang Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "Grandma, I have told you many times, I inquired, my grandfather Wang Lizhi, is a herald under the commander of the division Dai, on March 19, 1942, under the leadership of the commander of the 200th Division, Dai Anlan, launched the Tonggu Campaign, when fighting on the Sedang River, he was unfortunately hit by a shell, and then recuperated in a Burmese Chinese family, and then the 200th Division was defeated, and his grandfather was carried into the Savage Mountain by the troops, and then he lost his news. ”

Grandma said angrily: "No matter what mountain, how can there be life without seeing people and dead without seeing corpses?" The son of the old Wang family next door died in Vietnam, and the government also sent a plaque of glorious martyrs. Now that the world is too peaceful, can't you go and find it? "Their hometown is indeed relatively closed, grandma knows that there is a township government, the former township chief was the Kuomintang, and the later township chief was replaced by the Communist Party, what does it matter? The head of the township is still the head of the township, and the township government is still the township government. She is a military family, so naturally she should still be a military family.

Just when Wang Xiaoyu patiently explained to his grandmother what was the difference between the People's Liberation Army and the Expeditionary Force, the courtyard gate was pushed open with a "ping-pong", and a tall and thin middle-aged man broke in, quickly bolted the courtyard door again, and hurriedly walked inside, shouting as he walked: "Xiaoyu, help me!" ”

Wang Xiaoyu saw that it was his cousin Yue, his original name was Ye Shuiliang, he was addicted to gambling, and he lived a long life day and night. In his life, he couldn't see the sun but the moon, so everyone called him the moon. Because he borrowed money and gambled everywhere all the year round, relatives and friends were afraid to see him. I have been friends with Wang Xiaoyu since I was a child, and when I can't stand it, I come to him to eat, or get a little money to solve my urgent needs.

The moon nervously fastened the living room door and ran to close all the windows. While pulling Wang Xiaoyu to the second floor, he said nervously: "What should I do?" They're chasing after them."

Wang Xiaoyu was about to ask what happened to the moon? The courtyard door was smashed and knocked on with a loud bang, and there was a very rude shout: "Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!" After listening to it, I thought it was the security meeting that checked the temporary residence permit in the 90s.

Wang Xiaoyu shook off the moon's hand, stared at him and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Moon said dejectedly: "Well, let's borrow some money from them, and call the underworld to chase it."

Wang Xiaoyu sighed: "Hey, I really don't know what to say about you." After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs, opened the door and walked into the courtyard. In fact, at first, he thought that someone from the bidding meeting had come to the door, and he was nervous, and when he heard the moon say this, it had nothing to do with him, and his courage became stronger.

When the courtyard door was opened, there were four big men standing outside, all with small flat heads in black suits, and two of them also rolled up their sleeves, revealing the tattoos of the left green dragon and the right white tiger on their arms. Wang Xiaoyu's heart sank: This is the standard configuration of mixed clubs. The leader is a scarred face, with thick shoulders and a round waist, which is a head taller than Wang Xiaoyu. shouted at him, "What about the moon? Get out of here! ”

Wang Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "Who are you?" Yelling at my doorstep to rob? Hurry up and go away, if you don't leave, Lao Tzu will call the police."

"Hey", Scar looked Wang Xiaoyu up and down on his face, and said, "It's fair to repay debts." Not to mention calling the police, even if I go to the court, the judge will have to help me collect the debt! Stop talking nonsense, call that kid from the moon out, don't ask for trouble. ”

At this moment, grandma's voice came from the living room: "Xiaoyu, who is shouting at the door?" I told you not to make those pig friends and dog friends, there is no proper shape! ”

"It's okay, grandma, it's a courier" Wang Xiaoyu responded to grandma, and lowered her voice to Scarface: "I don't have anyone you are looking for here, and this is not the moon's home, my grandma has high blood pressure and diabetes, if you make a fuss, you can see who is afraid of whom!" ”

Scarface was stunned, as if he was angry, he had been in this small county for many years, and he had never seen such a bold person who did not give him face. couldn't help but look Huang Xiaoyu up and down again to see what kind of immortal he was, and saw that although his beard looked a little rough, what was revealed between his eyebrows was the breath behind the scroll, it turned out to be a sour showman, he laughed angrily: "Good boy, this is what you asked for." After speaking, he shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and led his subordinates to come up and do it.

Wang Xiaoyu secretly said that it was not good, hurriedly picked up the broom behind the door, took the opportunity to turn half a circle of stick flowers, and the wooden handle of the broom was horizontal to his chest, and shouted "Stop!" If you dare to step into my house, you will be splashed with blood on the spot! He suddenly put on this copycat version of Gorou's gossip stick move, which was also majestic, startling Scarface. Although Wang Xiaoyu is a science and engineering man, he is not blood-ischic, he was bullied by others, he must be beaten out first, it doesn't make sense to care if he loses and who wins?

Scarface was furious, he had grown up fighting in this small county town since he was a child, and he had lost, but he had never been afraid. Shouted: "Copy guy!" Then he went to untie the wrong roll of newspaper on his belt, and inside was a hard iron pipe. Otherwise, his hand froze, and on the side of the street, not far away, a Santana patrol car drove over slowly, and seemed to find this group of people at the gate of the courtyard, and stopped under a mango tree more than ten meters away in front of him. They received a notice from the bureau to come here to investigate some of the situation and happened to see a group of suspicious people. So they got out of the car and leaned against the door, Xiao looked at the group of people with interest, if anyone did it, it was time for them to work.

Scarface sighed secretly, turned his back to the police, waved his fist at Wang Xiaoyu, gritted his teeth and said, "Good boy, you wait!" With that, he winced and led the other three slowly towards the corner of the street.

Wang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, he has always had no good impression of the police, especially the traffic police, but today he has won the favor of the police. I was about to bolt the courtyard door and go back. The policeman outside the door walked up to her and shouted to him: "Xiaoyu, wait! ”

Wang Xiaoyu stopped and felt that the policeman was familiar. Look at it more carefully, isn't that my middle school classmate Xiaowen? I didn't expect to see him for a few years, this guy became a policeman, wearing a police uniform on his body, majestic and majestic, so that he couldn't even recognize it. Surprised: "You are Xiaowen!" ”

Xiaowen also smiled happily, took two steps forward, and held Wang Xiaoyu's hands tightly. Greetings were indispensable, and the two walked towards the living room as they spoke. Seeing Grandma Wang in a wheelchair, Xiaowen shouted: "Hello Grandma Wang." Grandma closed her eyes and ignored him.

After Xiaowen and the two sat down, Wang Xiaoyu cut them a cup of Biluochun strong tea, and asked, "Xiaowen, why do you have time to come and sit today?" ”

Xiaowen laughed and said, "I met your cousin Xiaoqing on the street, and I knew that you had come back from the provincial capital, so I came to take a look." By the way, what business are you doing now? ”

Wang Xiaoyu was relieved to hear that Xiaoqing had also come back safely, and replied: "I opened a small company to eat."

Xiaowen said: "You are a talented person in our class, and a few of you were admitted to the university in the whole school back then, and you didn't open an ordinary company, right?" Engage in high-tech? ”

Wang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Hey, what kind of high technology, I'm tinkering with a few small drones." ”

Xiaowen said: "Yes, this is an industry supported by the state." By the way, I recently heard that the drone for the forest protection and fire prevention project is in the bidding, didn't you go? ”

As soon as he heard the word bidding, Wang Xiaoyu chuckled in his heart, although this Xiaowen is his classmate, he is also a policeman. It's only been a few hours, and the police are coming to the door so soon? I was vigilant in my heart, but I said with a haha: "That's a big company's business, how can people look at us who have just started a small company!" ”

Xiaowen remained silent and asked, "I heard that you came back yesterday, and this morning, didn't you go to play with your classmates?" ”

Coming, coming, Wang Xiaoyu thought to himself, he could be sure that Xiaowen came to visit for the bidding, and his mind turned slightly, and he didn't seem to have left any handle. So he smiled and said: "I want to go to play with my classmates, but I can't leave, my parents have something to do and go away, you look at my grandma, like this, no one can take care of it." I'll have to wait until my mom and dad come back before I can go out and play. ”

The subtext of this sentence in Xiaowen is: I take care of my grandmother at home in the morning, and I have no time to commit crimes.

At this moment, grandma spoke: "Xiaoyu, pour me a glass of water". "Okay" Wang Xiaoyu responded while walking to pour water for her grandmother.

Xiaowen couldn't help but feel abrupt in her heart, is this old grandmother really confused? Looking at her now, even if she asks her to verify that Wang Xiaoyu is not at home in the morning, most of the results will not be achieved. Just as he was about to ask something else, the walkie-talkie on his shoulder rang: "There was a fight at the old station!" The patrols in the neighborhood have passed." Xiaowen hurriedly stood up and said, "Xiaoyu, I invite you to tea next time, I have to leave immediately if I have a task!" ”

"Walk slowly, walk slowly!" Wang Xiao stood up, and they were sent outside the courtyard gate. Watching them walk towards the police car, Wang Xiaoyu has been pondering, old classmate, what kind of investigation is this? It's more like scaring a snake, right? Or, ventilating the message?

In the car, the policeman next to him asked Xiaowen: "Xiaowen, are you suspicious of your old classmate?" ”

Xiaowen started the car and said: "With my understanding of this old classmate, he is talented, but he will report it, and there is a chance that he did it."

The policeman asked puzzledly: "Then why don't you take him to the bureau to ask for clarification?" ”

Xiaowen said: "Why are you? There is no evidence and no evidence, now it is a legal society! ”

The policeman said, "Do you want to let him go like this?" ”

"Or else? It's not a big deal, so what about getting him back? Will you be locked up for a few days before you release them? Besides, those companies are not as good as others, and they are embarrassed to report the case? If it weren't for someone from above, I wouldn't have bothered to care. There are so many troubles at the grassroots level all day long, and we can't be busy. ”

The policeman said worriedly, "I'm worried that the people in the city bureau will hold on to it."

Xiaowen said: "When that time comes, I will avoid it, you know how to do it."

The moon had been in front of the windows on the second floor, observing the street through the cracks in the shutters. Seeing that Wang Xiaoyu almost made a move with Scarface, he was indeed shocked into a cold sweat. I saw a few policemen and Wang Xiaoyu coming in, and I was afraid that I would not be afraid when the time came, the loan shark broke the law, but he borrowed the loan shark but did not break the law. At this time, I saw Wang Yu coming upstairs, I breathed a sigh of relief, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Amazing, fortunately, you got them away, otherwise I would be unlucky!" ”

Wang Xiaoyu sighed and said: "Hey, it's not that I'm good, it's the police uncle who scared them away, but don't be complacent, they must be secretly staring here, as long as you go out, you will be caught."

"His grandmother's is really a tiger falling on the plain and being bullied by dogs!" Moon scolded angrily, "Don't you owe them hundreds of thousands?" One by one, they turned their faces, thinking that I ...... back then"

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Okay, okay, don't mention your heroism back then, think about what to do now, brother, I just went bankrupt and went home, I definitely can't help you." ”

Moon said, "I also know that you are in trouble, and if I hadn't been forced by them, I wouldn't have come to hide with you." ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "If you can hide for a while, can you hide for a lifetime?" I still have to think of a perfect way to give this thing to it. ”

"I have a girlfriend in Kokantte, Myanmar, where there are a lot of Chinese and there are a lot of casinos, and I want to go there to find a job and avoid the limelight," Moon said. Although they took my passport, it was easy to sneak in. ”

Wang Xiaoyu was about to speak, but grandma shouted downstairs again: "Xiaoyu, Liangzi, you two come down!" ”

The moon stuck out her tongue and whispered to Wang Yu: "Grandma's ears are not deaf, it seems that she has heard them all."

Wang Xiaoyu didn't speak, and trotted downstairs, "Do you want tea or water?" Why don't you pour you a glass of milk? Wang Xiaoyu walked around her grandmother as she spoke, did not stop, and walked to the coffee table by herself.

Grandma grabbed him angrily and shouted in a low voice, "You stop me!" ”

Wang Xiaoyu had no choice but to stop, and the moon also came down and stood in front of her grandmother.

Grandma pointed to the moon with her finger, turned around and nodded Wang Yu's nose, and said, "You two, you will cause trouble, don't think that grandma is dazzled, deaf, and doesn't know anything." It's just a matter of messing with those rotten boys outside, and now even the police have come to the door, what are you doing outside? ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Grandma, you think too much, Xiaowen is my classmate, and you don't know each other." He came over to talk, what could he do? ”

Grandma said, "Is he chatting?" Investigate the case! Don't be a grandmother, aren't these routines on TV every day? What is the matter if it causes trouble and can't solve it? The boss is not small, especially Xiao Liang, I heard that your son Xiao Gao is too scared to go to school, you are doing evil! ”

The moon lowered her head and didn't speak, Wang Yu also felt sorry for her grandmother in her heart, she was so old, and she had to worry about her juniors.

Grandma said again: "Man, dare to do it, dare to do it, be responsible for what you do, don't implicate the unwarranted sins on your family, Xiaoliang, what should you do?" ”

The moon's face was a little hot, and she said hesitantly: "I want to go outside to work and pay off the debt!" ”

"Hey, part-time job? Don't you still want to gamble in Myanmar? The mountain is high there, the emperor is far away, and no one cares about you, is it free, isn't it? Grandma said angrily.

"No", Wang Xiaoyu defended the moon: "My cousin is indeed going to work, going to work in a casino, he is a professional counterpart, and he won't do anything else!" As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a little slip of the tongue, and looked back like the moon. But when he saw the moon, his face turned red.

Grandma's tone eased and said, "It's okay, change the environment, maybe you can make a difference, Xiaoyu, you don't have to tinker with your drone at home all day, let's go out to work with your cousin."

Wang Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "I also go to Myanmar?" I don't know how to gamble, people don't want me. Besides, I'm gone, who will take care of you, grandma? ”

Grandma glanced at Wang Yu angrily and said, "Your father is retired at home, and your mother will retire next month. ”

After a pause, he said: "I don't have a few years to live, I just want to know, is it because Wang Lizhi has a woman outside and can't he come back?" It's still feeding wolves in the mountains as it says on TV. For decades, I have helped him take care of his children and provide for the elderly of two elderly people. If you don't have merit, you can work hard, right? Why didn't he come back to see me? ”

Speaking of this, looking at Wang Xiaoyu, Zhengse said: "You go to Myanmar with Liangzi, live there and work, take the time to find the dead old man, if you die, you will bring the ashes back, and if you are alive, you will carry him back." ”

Wang Xiaoyu was about to tell that his father Wang Guodan and his mother came back, but he heard his father say: "Xiaoyu, listen to grandma, it's okay for you to look for it, don't you often say on TV that there are still many veterans of the Anti-Japanese War in Myanmar who can't go home?" Even if you can't find your grandfather, you can find out some news from the mouths of those anti-Japanese war veterans. ”

Wang Xiaoyu couldn't find an excuse for a while, so he had to say: "Even if I go, there are so many underworlds outside, and Brother Liang can't get out!" ”

"A living person, can you still hold your urine?" Grandma didn't look up and said. After saying that, she closed her eyes again, as if she was asleep, and after talking so much, she might be really tired.

Wang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and grandma finally finished nagging.
