Chapter Twenty-Six: They Are All Hard-working People

Xiaobao only drank some rice soup in the morning.

In the afternoon, when it was dark, Uncle Lu rushed back. As soon as he entered the house, he handed a stack of paper bags to Aunt Lu: "Hurry up and boil the medicine" After saying this, he went into the house to see Xiaobao's condition.

Xiaobao was injured and ran around in the freezing weather, and suffered from the wind chill, so he fell ill all of a sudden.

Under the careful care of Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, Xiaobao was finally able to walk around on the fourth day.

"The silly boy sleeps on the kang and relies on firepower," Uncle Lu sighed when he saw that Xiaobao was getting better.

"Thanks to you uncle and aunt, I don't know what to do." Xiaobao said gratefully.

"I've lived so long, and I still have the eye to see people. You don't look like a bad guy at first glance. Uncle Lu replied.

"Uncle, are you and your aunt the only two people at home? Don't have children? Xiaobao asked.

"I have a son who is thirty years old and has not yet married. Alas, poor. What's the solution. Half a year ago, he went to work in a coal mine opened by the Japanese in Hengshan. I'm looking forward to earning a few dollars and coming back to talk about my daughter-in-law. Uncle Lu said.

When Xiaobao heard that he was going to work in a coal mine opened by the Japanese, his heart sank.

"Uncle, can you go to work in a coal mine owned by the Japanese?" Xiaobao asked again.

"I heard it's okay. You can still eat white noodles once a month. There is no one who is not tired of work. I can't keep that thing, so I don't have to do anything. Uncle Lu replied.

Xiaobao really had nothing to say when he heard it. The idea of honest people is very simple, and they can get a bite to eat if they work hard in a down-to-earth manner. It feels good to eat white noodles once a month. Working desperately in the dark underground of the coal mine, these people have the luxury of this point.

After another two days, Xiaobao was led by Uncle Lu to buy something once with a horse for each person.

After coming back in the afternoon, Xiaobao took out a piece of meat from the bag and said to Aunt Lu, "Eat this piece of meat when you cook at night!" ”

Aunt Lu stared at the piece of meat for a long time and said, "Why don't you buy fat?" It's fat, it's delicious. ”

Uncle Lu smiled and said, "I said the same thing to him." There are also several pieces of frozen meat in the bag, all of which are fat! ”

Xiaobao also bought a few pieces of cloth, a bottle of kerosene and a pack of matches for the two old people. In the Northeast, kerosene is called foreign oil, and matches are called foreign fire. These are all good things. Igniting the scythe is too laborious. After dark, there is no need to blind the fire with a black light again.

That night, the three of them sat under an oil lamp and ate their meal. The so-called oil lamp is to wrap a cotton rope in a saucer and then put some kerosene into it.

Xiaobao kept picking vegetables for the two old men.

"Ah, I forgot to buy alcohol." Xiaobao sighed.

"That's not going to work, you can't drink until your injuries are all healed." Uncle Lu said. It's just that he pursed his lips after saying that.

The next few days became a big idler who could wander around. With two guns on his hand, he rode around a radius of dozens of miles in the vicinity.

Xiaobao once asked Uncle Lu why he lived in this deserted place of sand and rocks. The old man smiled and said that if the land is not good, there will be many kinds of things, but it is just sweating. It's better if there are no people, and the people from the government won't come to bother you, not even the beard. Poor is poor, but comfortable.

Aunt Lu made three sets of clothes, one for each person. Xiaobao's clothes are navy blue, with double-row buttons on the upper body, and the pants are specially fattened. Xiaobao didn't take it off when he wore it. The old couple happily put on new clothes, and reluctantly took them off and folded them.

There was no girl who didn't know how to needle and thread in those days, unless she didn't want to get married. The difference is only in the refinement and not the refinement. Not only needlework, but also dough, pancakes, rolling noodles, stir-frying, etc., must be comprehensive. Otherwise, my mother-in-law will not say anything in my ears every day, and I will not be able to raise my head when I pass it back to my parents.

Xiaobao put on Aunt Lu's new hat made of fox fur and tried it out, feeling very satisfied.

The original dogskin hat was soaked in blood, and Uncle Lu couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at the gun holes worn in front and back.

"Uncle, my injuries are almost healed, I want to leave tomorrow." Xiaobao said.

"Let's go, I'll send you tomorrow." People have feelings. Uncle Lu said reluctantly.

"I'll ride one of the two horses, and I'll give you the rest. It's also a burden for me anyway. You all need horses to farm and drive. Xiaobao said again.

Both old men's lips trembled. Having a livestock at home has been a dream for many years. subconsciously wanted to refuse, and I couldn't open my mouth with joy in my heart.

"That's it!" Xiaobao waved his hand and said simply.

At night, the three of them lay on the kang and none of them could sleep.

"Child, I can come and see my uncle and aunt when I have time." Aunt Lu said.

"Uh-huh," Xiaobao agreed.

The next morning, Uncle Lu and Xiaobao went on the road.

"From here to the south is the Bald Wife Ridge, and further south is the place of Lao Maozi. To the northeast is Binh Duong Town, and to the northwest is Heng Mountain. Uncle Lu pointed.

At noon, Uncle Lu took Xiaobao to a small road.

"Walk this road for another hour, and you will reach the main road. If you follow the main road to the west, you can reach Hengshan when it gets dark. Uncle Lu said.

"Uncle, your old man should be sent here. When I went out in the morning, I put three hundred dollars under the oil jar. Let your eldest brother come back and marry a daughter-in-law to live a good life. Don't work in the Japanese coal mines anymore. After Xiaobao finished speaking, a dozen horses trotted down the path. Only Uncle Lu was left standing there in a daze.

Xiaobao is the Heng Mountain when it is completely dark.

That kid cleanly killed Zhenlianghe and his master of the grain platform, and pierced that from the back of his head to the bridge of his nose. I heard that the bitch's face looked like a roasted sweet potato. ”

"The two rivers in the town are a hanging! Dead is dead. Sihai is a powerful person. actually let the kid hit the center of the eyebrows with a shot. Terrific! ”

"I heard that when he went out of the gate, his face was covered in blood and he was also injured. But the gunners hiding around were stunned, and no one dared to do it. ”

"It's not because he said he's one of the four beams and eight pillars of the Rolling Dragon! Who would dare to let him die the whole family! ”

"You're all stupid, aren't you, in fact, Rolling Earth Dragon joined the Manchukuo Army last month. Now he is the battalion commander of the Manchukuo Army. However, I heard that the rolling dragon knew that this kid had lied about his number, not only was he not angry, but he was also very happy. said that this shows that I still have a number one in the rivers and lakes, and it is good to report my number! As long as that kid comes, I'll make him a company commander! ”

"That kid should also be a famous person, so I don't know who it is?"

"The face is covered with blood, who can see clearly."

Xiaobao sat in the restaurant and listened to people's chatter left and right, while eating lo mein casually. After eating the noodles, I drank a bowl of noodle soup with a bang. wiped his mouth and shouted, "Boss, check out!" ”
