Ma Xiaoliu looked in the crowd for a while, and then saw the mother at the woman's table. He walked up and asked, "Mother! Who did the old grandson marry? Which girl married him! ”

"Son! You're back, and your mother is worried about death. Sit down! Sit down! Are you tired? My son has lost a lot of weight, is the food in the Changxing army not good, and my mother will go home and cook your favorite dish for you in a while! The old man gently stroked his son's head with both hands.

In the eyes of Chinese parents, their sons who go out will always lose a lot of weight. The most important thing in their hearts is the children who have left home, and they will give everything for their children no matter what time comes.

Ma Xiaoliu squatted down, let his mother touch the top of his head, and said softly: "Mother! The son didn't lose weight, and he grew five pounds of meat! ”

"Nonsense! You are the meat that fell from your mother's body, will you not know if you are thin or not? The old man said with a smile.

At this time, the neighbors at the table spoke: "Little Liuzi! You don't know yet! The old grandson is really powerful, he is fifty-three years old this year, and he has enlarged Widow Yang's belly. This time, I can't hide it, so I got married! ”

"Ahh Ma Xiaoliu exclaimed. He had heard about Widow Yang, her husband jumped down at Shizhu Peak and rolled down the foot of the mountain with Yi soldiers in his arms and fell into a meat patty.

She herself saw her husband and the Yi soldiers die together, and she jumped down with them. But she was lucky enough to roll all the way to the bottom of the mountain and survived.

It turned out that her pretty face was scarred by the rocks, and one leg was diagnosed and treated by Dr. Zhou, although she could walk, she could never straighten it.

Disfigured and sloping at the foot of the slope, Widow Yang thought of committing suicide. But he was persuaded by the old grandson, and two people who also lost their relatives followed the Changxing army to Jeju Island.

The two of them strangely lived together, and they didn't have any names. The old grandson is still enthusiastic and likes to help the people in the village.

But Widow Yang never goes out unless necessary, and even her own yard rarely goes out.

Suddenly it was rumored in the village that the old grandson was going to get married, and everyone was very different. But then I was relieved, maybe only two hard-working people can unite to support each other to survive in this troubled world.

After the news of the two getting married, there was an endless stream of people who came to the door to say goodbye. Lao Sun gritted his teeth, didn't care about losing face, and directly upgraded to a flowing water seat, and held a happy event with great fanfare.

Widow Yang, also known as Sun, also came out of the room to greet the guests, and her appearance surprised everyone even more.

Sun actually had a big belly, and he was five or six months pregnant. The originally weak-hearted personality also became cheerful because of the child, and began to chat and talk with the villagers who came to Daoxi.

The bold and pungent little daughter-in-law is back, and when she encounters other people's strange eyes, she will directly admit that this is her and her old grandson's child.

After hearing all this, Ma Xiaoliu only said two words from his mouth: "Amazing!" ”。

……

It has been ten days since Ma Xiaoliu returned home, and his wife Michiko is pregnant. The parents at home arranged for him to marry when he was on vacation in the winter.

The midday sun was scorching hot and fierce, and Ma Xiaoliu stripped naked and trained in his yard.

Everything he did was based on his military exploits, so he didn't dare to relax even if he was on vacation. The amount of training he did every day was about the same as when he was in the barracks, and noon was the time for him to train.

Ma Xiaoliu, who had practiced for a while, stopped his movements and stood in the courtyard panting. The door opened gently, and his wife, Michiko, came to Ma Xiaoliu with a copper basin.

He bowed his head and said, "Husband has worked hard!" Please wash your face and take a break! "Although Michiko is a widow, she is very satisfied with her life.

It's like living in a dream, and her husband has exchanged his military exploits for a superior life. How to serve a good husband has become something that Michiko thinks about every day, and although she is pregnant, he still takes care of Ma Xiaoliu.

Ma Xiaoliu took the copper basin and said, "Michiko! Your body is heavy, just leave these things to someone else! ”

"But! What should Michiko do if she likes to wait for her husband? Michiko blinked her eyes and said, hooking Ma Xiaoliu into a burst of anger.

"Little Liuzi! Are you at home? At this time, a loud voice sounded outside the courtyard, ruining the warm atmosphere.

Ma Xiaoliu said angrily: "What is it called!" Where else can I go if I'm not at home? He reluctantly walked to the courtyard gate, and Michiko returned to the room in small steps.

When he opened the courtyard door, Ma Xiaoliu was stunned, and he saw Wu Shuang, Feng Sibao, Lao Mazi, and Li Zhen. How did they get together with Li Zhen of the Death Brigade?

Everyone was invited in, and the maiden brought tea. Ma Xiaoliucai asked: "Xiucai! What is the wind that has brought you to my house today? ”

"Joyful wind!" Lao Mazi said enviously.

"Oh?" Ma Xiaoliu was surprised.

Wu Shuang smiled and said, "We're going south!" It's hard work to go south, and it's also dangerous. Generally, people who have only children in the family can choose not to go, this is my letter of recommendation to ensure that you are the captain of the hundreds, as long as you sign your name, you have to go south with us. Think for yourself! ”

South! This word appeared in Ma Xiaoliu's mind, could it be that he was going to Taiyuan Big Island? Miasma is rampant there, and if you are not careful, you will be worried about your life.

But isn't there an opportunity, the appointment of the captain of the hundred is in front of his eyes, can he refuse such a temptation?

"Little Liuzi! What are you waiting for? The brothers have decided to go, and you will be left behind! Feng Sibao was anxious for Ma Xiaoliu. There are not many recruits who are promoted to the captain of the hundred people in a battle, as long as Ma Xiaoliu seizes this opportunity, he will be on the horizon.

Lao Mazi also said: "Yes! Oh, yes! It would be a pity if such a good opportunity was missed, Lao Tzu is a captain! ”

Looking at Wu Shuang's smiling face and expectant eyes, Ma Xiaoliu took the paperwork. Said: "Good! I'll go! ”

At this time, the door of the back room opened, and Michiko came out and asked, "Where is the husband going?" Our child is born, can you come back? ”

Wu Shuang and the others looked embarrassed, "Sixth son! Why don't you think about it again? ”

"Don't think about it! How many times can life be beaten, Michiko! Go get pen and ink. Ma Xiaoliu said to Michiko.

Night! Ma Xiaoliu promised his parents for a long time, and repeatedly said that he was just going to the south to fight a few savages, and there was no danger at all. and promised that he would come back in the autumn, and was let go by the angry second elder.

Night! Ma Xiaoliu hugged Michiko in his arms and said lightly: "I'm fighting outside, Michiko wants a lot of body, and she wants to give me a white fat baby!" ”

"Hmm!" Michiko agreed, "Michiko will miss her husband!" ”

"What do you think?" Ma Xiaoliu hugged Michiko and smiled evilly.

Michiko didn't answer, and shyly slipped into the quilt.
