Chapter 534: Old Pawn
Feng Yang's home is here.
Liu He's late-night visit made this old soldier who had been in the army for seven or eight years a little panicked, after opening the door, he forgot to say hello, turned around and ran without saying a word, and went back to the house to call his daughter-in-law who was already asleep.
"Sir, why don't you send someone to say hello in advance, let's get ready...... Feng Yang kept rubbing his hands and smiled innocently.
Feng Yang's daughter-in-law stabbed her own man and said in a low voice: "Why don't you let Mr. into the house quickly!" ”
Feng Yang came back to his senses at this time, "Yes, yes, I'm happy to patronize, I forgot even the etiquette I should have, sir, let's go into the house." ”
From the moment he entered the courtyard gate, Liu He had been observing the couple quietly.
Feng Yang is obviously a simple character, although his daughter-in-law is better than him in dealing with people, but she is just an honest woman from an ordinary family, since she reminded Feng Yang of her words, she lowered her head and never raised it again.
With a person like Feng Yang, Liu He really couldn't think of what would anger Zhuge Liang and ask Zhuge Liang to remove all the guards in the entire mansion.
Entering the house, Feng Yang warmly beckoned Liu He and Guo Qing to sit down, and then said with a little embarrassment: "I don't know if Mr. is coming, there is no hot water at home, it's really ......"
The water in Chengdu is different from other places, due to geological reasons, the well water contains a lot of minerals, and the taste is astringent.
When outsiders come here, the locals will kindly remind them that the water here is hard and cannot be drunk directly.
The only way is to boil the water, boil it for a long time, and wait for the minerals to settle before drinking.
Therefore, in the homes of the people of Chengdu, if they know that there are guests coming, they will prepare a pot of boiling water, but it is the second half of the night, the fire has long been extinguished, and naturally there is no boiling water to drink.
"It's okay, just drink well water, I've been in Chengdu for so long, and I'm used to it." Liu He said with a smile.
Feng Yang and his wife glanced at each other, and they couldn't believe that the famous Mr. Tianji could be so approachable, and he could directly drink the well water that was difficult for ordinary people to enter like them.
Without waiting for Liu He's instructions, Guo Qing stood up and walked to the well, scooped a scoop of water from the bucket and brought it over.
Liu He took the water scoop and said to Feng Yang and his wife with a smile: "I'm in a hurry on the road, and I'm really a little thirsty, so I'm welcome." ”
Seeing Liu He drink most of the scoop with a bang, the couple were very surprised.
As a native, Feng Yang's daughter-in-law didn't feel anything at first, but since marrying Feng Yang and seeing Feng Yang's painful appearance when he drank water, he also knew that the water in Chengdu was simply a kind of torture for these foreigners.
Liu He gently put the water scoop on the table, and since there was still half a scoop of water left, the water scoop finally stood on the table after shaking it a few times.
Feng Yang and his wife were right, the water in Chengdu is really not something that anyone can drink, if it wasn't really hard to swallow, Liu He really wanted to drink all the water in front of the couple and the couple.
An indescribable bitterness filled Liu He's entire mouth, but this taste was far less than the bitter taste in Liu He's heart.
In addition to this house funded by the government, Feng Yang's home can almost be described as a house with four walls.
A wooden bed that looks like it has been used for a long time, a small table with a polished tabletop, a few shabby bamboo stools, two pairs of chopsticks, and a few dishes are all the belongings of this family.
This is the home of an old soldier who has followed Liu Beijun for many years!
Taking off his military uniform, Feng Yang changed into his own clothes, and the patches on them couldn't be counted with two hands.
Feng Yang's daughter-in-law was wearing a bright red floral jacket, brand new, without even a wrinkle on it.
In order to greet herself, the woman obviously took out the clothes that she was willing to wear once during the New Year.
Dressed in fine clothes and food, living in a huge Tianji Mansion, is such a Mr. Tianji worthy of drinking a bowl of hot water in the home of an old soldier who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years?
It's nice to have water from a well to drink.
"Days at home...... It's passable, right? Liu He gritted his teeth and asked.
Feng Yang smiled and said with a big grin: "It's a lie to say that there are big fish and big meat, but at least I won't worry about hunger all day long like before, I think it's good!" ”
Feng Yang's daughter-in-law suddenly raised her head, glanced at Liu He secretly, and said cautiously: "It doesn't matter if you eat a few bites, it's best never to fight in the future, I can see my man every month, and I'm satisfied." ”
Liu He suddenly felt that he was very ridiculous, because he couldn't do this woman's low request.
Feng Yang frowned and glared at his daughter-in-law, "What do you know about the woman's family!" We don't bully others, but if someone dares to bully us, we have to fight with them! ”
Feng Yang's daughter-in-law's eyes turned red as soon as she brushed it, and said aggrievedly: "I don't want to be a widow like Sister Wang next door......
Feng Yang's voice suddenly raised a few more tones, "How can there be immortals in a war!" Besides, do you think that if you don't fight back, people will be able to let you go? I've been fighting for so many years, and I only understand one truth, if you want to live a peaceful life, you have to die first! ”
The conversation between the couple made Liu He's heart even more uncomfortable.
He cheered up, tried to squeeze out a smile, and said to Feng Yang's daughter-in-law: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, at least for a year or two, there will be no more wars." ”
"Really?" The husband and wife spoke in unison, but their expressions were completely different.
Feng Yang's daughter-in-law obviously had a surprised expression, and after Feng Yang heard the news, she was shocked and a little frustrated.
One is happy that his man no longer has to work hard, while the other is disappointed that he can't win military merits and give his family a better life.
On this topic, Liu He didn't want to continue to talk about it, because no matter how he answered, one of the two couples would hear an answer that he didn't want to accept.
"I'm here today because I want to ask you something," Liu He immediately diverted the topic and got to the point at the same time, "I want to know what you ...... a few days ago."
Without waiting for Liu He to finish speaking, Feng Yang took the lead in saying: "Sir, I want to ask, what did I do to anger Zhuge Junshi, right?" ”
An extremely complicated expression appeared on Feng Yang's face.
His expression seemed to contain disappointment, anger, unwillingness, and more importantly, discouragement.
