Yang Kuang walked back to his home lonely and tired. Actually, this is not his home, it is the veteran's home.

Since being removed from the military and leaving the military camp where he grew up, Yang Kuang has been unhappy. His father and mother also passed away in the past six months, and the family was gone. So the veteran, who was also dismissed from the military with him, took him over directly, and the two families became one. Under the mediation of neighbors and veterans, the widow and daughter-in-law of the veteran fought with Yang Kuang, and the two dilapidated families finally became a complete home.

After entering the courtyard, Yang Kuang poked a flat pole behind the door, and his daughter-in-law came out, and the virtuous side patted the dust on his body with the towel in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Have you eaten from outside?" ”

Yang Kuang's popularity is very good, especially the soldiers who were originally compensated with money and food, after taking the stable salary of Pankang, often invited Yang Kuang to drink some wine in the wild restaurant outside, and at the same time handed over the craft of Pankang to him, and when they were too busy to work, they also helped each other to help, so that he also had a relatively stable income.

Seeing his daughter-in-law asking himself, Yang Kuang replied apologetically: "Not today, there is a disturbance outside the Japanese to attack the city, and those original brothers have returned to the barracks to standby, and today there were originally two jobs to do, but the result also failed." Everyone is panicking and wants to escape, who still has the leisure heart? So—"

The daughter-in-law smiled indifferently and comforted: "It's okay, there are still a few liters of rice at home, and you can still hold on." The rice is in the pot for you, you can eat it quickly, and when you are done, have a good rest. ”

Yang Kuang walked in and asked, "What about the father and the child?" ”

The daughter-in-law replied meekly: "Dad went out with the child early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"Is my mother's health better?"

The mother walked out of the house, leaning on the door frame with a stick and panting, complaining weakly: "I'm an old immortal, I've dragged everyone down." ”

Yang Kuang walked a few steps and held his mother with both hands: "It's all a family, let's rely on each other, and what do you say about dragging it down or not." ”

The mother wiped her tears with her hands: "This family called you over, it really made you suffer, I'm an old immortal, and I have to follow the decoction every month, why don't I die?" ”

Yang Kuang's eyes couldn't help but be slightly red, and he tried hard to pretend to be a smile: "Mother, what you said, if you hadn't taken me over and let me really have a home, I would have been a wild man." Besides, when my father accompanied me in the barracks and fed me two meals, this man said that the grace of dripping water is reciprocated, and even if the grace of these two meals is broken, it is difficult to repay it. When they said this, the two of them helped their mother into the back room and let her lie down on the kang.

Walking to the kitchen, the daughter-in-law brought the hot rice out of the pot with her hands and feet, Yang Kuang couldn't help but sigh when he sat there, his face was full of sorrow again, and he didn't have the heart to eat at all. The docile daughter-in-law stood there at a loss, not knowing how to dissolve him.

At this time, the courtyard door rang again, and it was the father and the child who came in with a smile. The child jumped into the house and reported happily to his mother: "Dad, mother, what do you see that my grandfather and I have brought back to you?" Then he put down the bag of rice on his shoulder like a treasure, opened the pocket, and it turned out to be half a bag of white rice.

When she saw these white rice daughters-in-law, she smiled and asked, "Where did you get so much white rice?" This time our family can eat for at least 10 days and 8 days. ”

The veteran said with a smile: "Early in the morning, I went to the gate of the big house in the south to wait for work, but the city was in a hurry, and the big family was anxious to run, so he paid more wages, asked us to make some furniture for him, and gave us these rice." Also, seeing that I am his old customer, when their family left, they also asked me and my grandson to help him take care of the yard, and promised me 50 yuan a day, so that my life will be comfortable. ”

This is good news, everyone's life finally has an income hope, Yang Kuang and his daughter-in-law helped the old man to sit down. The veteran said with a smile: "After eating this meal, my grandson and I went to show him the house, and they also left us grain and vegetables in the kitchen, so we don't have to waste the family's food in the next few days." When he said this, he found that Yang Kuang's brows were tightly knit and he sighed.

The veteran paused for a moment, knowing Yang Kuang's thoughts: "The Japanese outside the city are about to attack the city, and the Hangzhou government has already signed Ding to defend the city, didn't the Ding sign to our house?" ”

Yang Kuang shook his head lonely: "It's not that I'm afraid of me, who has a criminal record, I'm afraid that I will mix with those soldiers and make trouble again, so he didn't pay attention to me at all." ”

"I know your thoughts, although you have been removed from the military, you still can't give up the barracks. This time there is such a rebellion in Hangzhou, you still want to go to the city to protect your family and defend the country. But it is true that as you say, they are afraid that you will make trouble again. But it's okay, even if you go to the city, you can't lead troops to fight, one more of you is not too much, you are not too much, and you are not too much, so let's stay at home in peace. In the past few days, there is chaos in the city, and there is nothing to do, you are at home to protect your mother and daughter-in-law, you have a good hand, and you also help take care of the township, don't let those who take advantage of the fire to rob us. ”

Yang Kuang smiled bitterly and said nothing, put down the chopsticks after eating half full, his daughter-in-law was distressed, and he was ready to add food to him, Yang Kuang said: "I didn't live today, just eat these, now the price of rice in various grain stores is soaring, and we can't afford it." With this rice, we can live as long as we want. Then he sighed: "This soldier is in a mess, and I don't know when it will be a head, alas—" Then he walked lonely into the courtyard, looking in the direction of his military camp to the south, and said no more for a long time.

At this time, someone outside the door shouted: "Is Brother Yang at home?" There are dignitaries to visit. ”

Yang Kuang and the veteran were stunned: "I am so down, which noble person can come to the door?" Thinking suspiciously, he opened the courtyard gate, but saw his two brothers standing outside the courtyard gate with a scribe. looked a little familiar, but the father behind him was indeed surprised and shouted: "Oh, isn't this Xiao Xiucai?" What is the good wind that blows you to me? Hurry in and talk. Being reminded like this, Yang Kuang couldn't remember who this person was, so he took a step back and bowed: "How did Gong G find me here?" I haven't repaid the life-saving grace at the beginning, which really makes me ashamed. ”

Mao Yulong helped him up with one hand: "What is the grace of saving lives, but it is just a gesture." Then he looked at the veteran behind Yang Kuang: "Daddy's body is okay?" ”

The veteran hurriedly gave in again and again: "Thanks to the blessing of the little minister, the family has a pillar of support, and I have eaten a few full meals recently, and my body is much tougher than before." ”

Everyone humbly entered the courtyard with each other, and Yang Kuang's daughter-in-law brought out a stool and put it in the courtyard: "The house is really dirty and chaotic, I'm sorry for the little minister, just sit in the yard." ”

Mao Yulong was polite, didn't sit down, and said directly to Yang Kuang: "You already know about the things outside, so I don't ask anything else today, just to invite you out of the mountain and defend this Hangzhou city."
