"Dad, mother, I didn't think that my eldest brother was so promising now, he became the captain, and he also became the captain of the militia, so I was happy for him." Ge Erdan saw that his father was deflated in front of his mother, so he changed the topic and talked about Ge Tiedan.

"Hey, he can have today, it's not because of your blessing, our previous acting lieutenant said that our commander values soldiers the most, and we have you, a soldier who works as an errand with Second Master Liu, in our family, Tie Dan is naturally very valued. In itself, the acting lieutenant chief took a fancy to your eldest brother, and your eldest brother was not a stupid person, so he became the lieutenant chief, but no matter what you say, it is still thanks to you.

I told your eldest brother, our land is all obtained by you, and half of the harvest in the field is yours, if you want, come and get it at any time, this house, up and down two floors, one of you two brothers, if you are not a soldier, come back to live, and your father and I will live in the back stable. As she spoke, Aunt Ge began to habitually arrange things for the future.

When Ge Erdan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again: "Mother, this joke can't be made, this is a house built by the government for the eldest brother, the eldest brother bought it out, it is the private property of the eldest brother, as for the property, according to the primogeniture inheritance system, it is also the private property of the eldest brother, and I dare not ask for it." ”

"Why can't you ask for it? I don't understand, why can't we divide our own property? The handsome man is too wide. Aunt Ge said again with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh, my mother-in-law, don't talk nonsense, old man." When Ge Erdan saw his mother say such words, he was suddenly frightened, he quickly covered the other party's mouth, looked left and right nervously, and when he found that no one noticed this, Fang let go of his hand with palpitations, and said in a lower voice: "Mother, don't say bad things about the handsome, otherwise let the secret agent hear it, and our family will be finished." ”

"Is it that serious?" Seeing that her son reacted so violently, Aunt Ge asked with some concern.

"Of course, the handsome spies are everywhere, so you should be careful what you say. You remember, the policy of the big boss is unquestionable, and you can't express any opinions, because it's impossible for the big boss to harm us, everything he does is for our good, how can such a big man say that his old man is not good, don't you say? Ge Erdan educated his mother very seriously.

"I also know that the handsome man is good, but I am afraid that if you are not a soldier, your life will be lost, so how can it be good, I just think that if you leave a way back, you will not be a soldier, and you can come back to live." Aunt Ge still reluctantly said in her heart.

Ge Erdan saw his mother's worried look, his heart first warmed, and then he said gently: "Dad, mother, don't worry, the handsome man has already thought of a way out for us, and he is no longer a soldier, and he still lives without worry, alas, this is not the place to talk, let's go back first, I want to see how your second elder and eldest brother's house is repaired!" ”

"Oh, that's right, it's noon, and I'm still pestle on the street," Aunt Ge seemed to wake up suddenly, and shouted to Ge Tiedan, who was still greeting people in the distance: "Tiedan, stop talking, go back with you, and give your brother to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

"Hey, that's good," Ge Tiedan first agreed from afar, and then smiled at the person in front of him: "Go back first, you are busy first." ”

"Your brother is back, so I entertain him." The man smiled understandingly.

"yes, I know." Ge Tiedan nodded, then took three steps and two steps and ran to his brother's side, and said with a smile: "Erdan, go, let me show you your new house." ”

"Big brother, please lead the way." Ge Erdan leaned forward slightly and made a gesture of please.

"You kid, where do you come from so much," Ge Tiedan scolded with a smile, and then said, "Come, here." ”

Ge Tiedan took the first step and led the way in front, Ge Erdan, Aunt Ge, and Uncle Ge followed behind him, talking and laughing back.

The settlement was not very large, and the Ge family walked for about five minutes before they came to a gray-and-white building.

"Erdan, here, here." Ge Tiedan stopped in front of the building, and introduced with a slight pride on his face.

"This is where you and your father live, let me see. Well, it's a typical Hitchcockian building with a lot of character. Ge Erdan looked at the building in front of him and blurted out.

"Erdan, you still know that this is a Hitchcockian building, how do you know? What does this Hitchcockian architecture mean, do you know? Ge Tiedan heard his younger brother point out the architectural style, so he humbly asked for advice.

"Uh, big brother, I don't know, some time ago, the marshal gave you an apartment for these soldiers who have no inheritance rights, and the building where the apartment is located is very similar to your house in style, I heard that our apartment is a Hitchcock-style building, so I casually said this, as for what Hitchcock means, I don't know." Ge Erdan replied embarrassedly.

"That's it, forget it." Ge Tiedan said with a little disappointment.

"Erdan, you just said that the handsome man gave you a house, right?" Aunt Ge has been silent all the way, but now when she heard this, she immediately reacted, and asked Ge Erdan in a lower voice.

"Yes, mother, the marshal has issued us recruits with apartments on the street, the second floor, three bedrooms and one living room." Ge Erdan replied.

"So, you have a place to live?" Aunt Ge said happily.

"Yes." Ge Erdan nodded with a smile.

"How much does that house cost? Is it expensive? If it's too expensive, you can get back all the money you put here, and if it's not enough, ask Tie Dan to make it up for you. Aunt Ge asked with great concern.

"Mother, it's not expensive, the house that the handsome didn't give us is a conscience price, Liujiabao is such a prosperous place, such a big house, only ten taels of silver, and it was sold." Ge Erdan replied with a smile.

"So cheap! That marshal is really good to you soldiers. Ge Tiedan sighed in amazement.

"Isn't that right, eldest brother, father, mother, when you go to Liujiabao in the future, you can go to settle there." Ge Erdan suggested.

"Okay, if you go to Liujiabao to do business, it's too late, brother, I'll go to you." Ge Tiedan said with a smile.

"No problem, hey, big brother, this house looks good on the outside, is it all in order inside?" Ge Erdan diverted the topic.

"I heard that you are coming back, let's hurry up, it's finally finished, let's go, take you in to have a look." After Ge Tiedan said this, he took out the key and opened the wooden door.

"Wow, that's a big fireplace." When Ge Erdan entered the house, he first saw a huge fireplace.

"This fireplace is good, now the weather is a little cold, we have nothing to do at night, so we light a fire, while roasting and eating, while reading a book, the small life is very happy." Ge Tiedan laughed.

"Big brother, you also study?" Ge Erdan was surprised.

"I must read it, the acting lieutenant chiefs told Er and Yang Jiangyun that under the rule of the marshal, all citizens must read and understand the situation, and when the two acting lieutenant chiefs do not go to work at night, they will organize our new citizens to read and write.

If you are illiterate, illiterate, and are laughed at by others, it doesn't matter if you delay the affairs of the villagers, so I went to the bookstore in Liujiabao to buy a book, and came back to read it. Ge Tiedan smiled shyly.

"The eldest brother is right, he also has to read and write in the army, and the daily training is very hard, and at night, he has to learn cultural knowledge. Speaking of which, I remembered a thing, father, mother, eldest brother, listen to what our chief said,

In the future, we will unify the accent of Jingbian Fort, and no matter where they come from in the future, they must learn what Mandarin is, and I heard that this Mandarin is very similar to the accent in Liaodong. Dashuai said that this is to avoid the problem of communication barriers caused by different accents in different places, I heard that it is only implemented in the army, schools and the government, and it will be gradually implemented outside in the future. Ge Erdan chatted with Ge Tiedan about reading, and suddenly remembered this stubble, so he reminded him.

"Mandarin! I know, the two acting lieutenants said to E, they understand very well, they are very easy to learn, and they will definitely learn. Ge Tiedan said confidently.

"That's good, hey, let's take a look at it again, obediently, the bell is ringing, big brother, you also added this at home, heh, there are solid wood furniture, big brother, yes, the forehead is back, is there a bed to sleep on?" Ge Erdan looked around and asked Ge Tiedan.

"Yes, the sleeping place is on the second floor, so I'll take you to see it." Ge Tiedan smiled, and then took Ge Erdan straight to the second floor to see the bedroom.

"Tiedan, Erdan, you two can go up to the bedroom, cook with your father, and call you to eat later." Aunt Ge saw that she couldn't talk to her wife, so she planned to go to Zhang Luo's cooking.

"Okay, mother, let's go up for a while, and then come down." Ge Tiedan responded, and went upstairs to look at the bedroom with Ge Erdan.

"Old man, go and kill the rooster in our house, and cook for the second egg, as well as dried peppers, ginger and garlic, go to the basement and get them, and use them in a hurry." Aunt Ge commanded Uncle Ge.

"Got it, I'll go." Uncle Ge agreed, and went straight to the backyard to catch the rooster.

"Bell, bell, bell, bell,....." when the bell rang thirteen, on the long dining table, densely turned, a table of dishes, just in the middle is a roast chicken hot pot, the rest of the mutton shabu, back to the pot meat, spicy cabbage, tomato scrambled eggs, knife pat cucumber, hot and sour potato shreds, red, green, yellow, everything.

"Dad, mother, save the four of us, make so many dishes, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it, right?" Ge Erdan looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of him and said with a smile.

"It's rare for you to come back once, and when you're gone, I don't know when I'll be able to come back, my mother's craftsmanship, I usually can't eat it, so I'll make more dishes, so that you can eat it raw, and you can eat enough in the past few days." Aunt Ge said with some distress.

"Hey, I know my mother," Ge Erdan heard this, first his heart warmed, and then he took out a burden, and first took out a long paper bag from it, and handed it directly to his father, and then he said mysteriously: "Dad, try this camel brand cigarettes, special for the army, there is no sale on the market, don't you love to smoke, come, try, this is flue-cured tobacco, the taste is good." ”

"Flue-cured tobacco!? What came from!? Uncle Ge took the paper bag with some confusion, tore it open, and found that there were more than a dozen blue wooden boxes inside.

He opened the wooden box, and was surprised to find ten small stick-like things neatly arranged in it, and when he smelled it, it seemed to smell some smoke.

"Is this smoke?" Uncle Ge took out a cigarette and asked Ge Erdan.

"Yes, Dad, would you like to try it and see how it is different from the dry tobacco you smoked before?" Ge Erdan smiled even more.

"Okay, just try it." Uncle Ge agreed, took a cigarette, lit it with the carbon in the hot pot, and took a sip vigorously.

"Yo, this smoke is soft in the mouth!" Uncle Ge exclaimed, his eyes lit up and he took a few puffs, and in a few clicks, he finished pulling a flue-cured cigarette.

"Good thing, really a good thing, you are a good thing, I am afraid that dry tobacco pouch will be thrown away." Uncle Ge praised Ge Erdan while preparing to have another one.

"Old man, you have to eat, what kind of cigarette do you smoke, put it away first." Aunt Ge saw that Uncle Ge still wanted to smoke again, so she hurriedly acted to stop her.

"Hey, well, according to you, according to you." The old man seemed to be slightly afraid of Aunt Ge, so he put the rest of the flue-cured tobacco aside, but the old man's eyes peeked at the flue-cured tobacco from time to time, as if he was afraid that they would run away.

"Dad, do you still like the gift that your son gave you?" Ge Erdan asked Uncle Ge with a smile.

"I like it, I like it, I like it tightly, you're really good." Uncle Ge got the benefit, so he naturally wanted to praise his son violently.
