My serious look startled Yinghui, and she left me and went to the back in a panic.

After a tea time, Grandma Yinghui came out, the old lady was holding a red cloth bag in her hand, which seemed to be wrapped with very important objects, she carefully put the red cloth bag on the table gently, and looked at Yinghui who was standing beside her: "Yinghui, this kid heard that the little devil was coming, he was frightened and panicked, I want me to say, the little devil has nothing to be afraid of, no matter how evil they are, they can still hate the Manchu Tartar?" ”

I don't know what the Manchus have done here to make Grandma Yinghui have such a comparison. But I patiently told them about the recent massacres of civilians by the Japanese army, especially the one in Nanjing.

I spoke very briefly, and there was no exaggeration, but it still made the grandfather dumbfounded.

"These people are simply ...... It's just a brute,......" Ying Hui said in a trembling voice.

"I'm afraid I can't do it even if it's a beast......," Grandma Yinghui muttered.

Grandma Yinghui was silent for a while, and suddenly asked me, "How old is Chief An this year?" ”

The conversation turned so abruptly that I was a little baffled: "Uh...... I'm just 25 years old. ”

"What about birthdays?"

“…… It was the ninth day of the fourth month. ”

"So you're five years older than us Yinghui...... It's good, it's good. Grandma Yinghui said two very good, but her eyes were closed and her lips squirmed, and she didn't know what she was calculating.

My heart was pounding, and I wondered what this old lady meant. Is this going to be a family affair? I glanced at Ying Hui, and Ying Hui's face was also a little red, and she wrung her hands in confusion.

Grandma Yinghui opened her eyes for a long time, smiled and patted Yinghui's hand: "Don't be shy, women have to have this day, Chief An is a good person when he looks at his face, and he will not treat you badly in the future." ”

The old lady was already clearly going to marry her granddaughter, Ying Hui blushed and broke free from her grandmother's hand and hid behind.

I believe that the expression on my face at the moment is definitely more surprised than surprised, I like Yinghui very much, but we have only known each other for a few days, and then it is too unexpected.

Grandma Yinghui picked up the red cloth bag, slowly opened it layer by layer, and after several layers of meticulous wrapping, inside was a green jade bracelet with some white patterns. Based on my shallow knowledge of antique jade, I roughly estimate that the value of such a jade will not exceed 100 silver dollars.

Grandma Yinghui sighed: "It's been a sad time in the past few years, and everything that can be sold at home has been tossed, but no matter how hard and difficult this bracelet is, I am not willing to sell it, because this is the dowry that Yinghui Niang left to the child." Yinghui has been miserable since she was a child, and she was born in this chaotic year, and she didn't have any peaceful birthdays, Sir An, you will treat my Yinghui well in the future......"

I stood up in a bit of a panic: "Old man, this, you are ......"

Grandma Yinghui smiled: "What, Chief An doesn't like Yinghui?" ”

I was even more flustered: "No, I ......"

"Could it be that Chief An already has a family?" Grandma Yinghui's eyes suddenly sharpened, and I believe that if my answer was yes, this old lady would not hesitate to splash the tea in my face, and then drive me out with a stick.

This time I couldn't speak, just shook my head.

Grandma Yinghui's gaze softened: "Then what other difficulties are there?" ”

“…… Marriage is not a child's play, my parents are now far away in Beiping, I am the only child in the family, such a big matter always has to be discussed with my parents...... "I finally calmed down from the panic."

Grandma Yinghui suddenly said: "Oh... Are you worried about your parents' attitude? You can rest assured, although my granddaughter is not a lady, but if you want to say that it is worse than other women, hehe, it is impossible. Even if it's you in Beiping, it's rare to see a good woman like my family Yinghui, right? ”

I don't know if I'm in great happiness or in great trouble. After all, I am a soldier, although I am a soldier who has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, but I am also a soldier, and the soldiers of wartime are all over the world as their home, and they don't know where their tomorrow is, how can I have the ability to protect another person who must be protected?

I was torn between gains and losses, and I didn't know what to do with this unexpected event that surprised and alarmed me at the same time.

Grandma Yinghui seemed to be able to see through my thoughts: "Sometimes things in this world are difficult to look at, but they are very simple to do." When you encounter the Flame Mountain, even if you can't borrow a banana fan, then maybe the Dragon King is willing to give you rain every day. ”

After saying these words, the old lady stood up and walked slowly to the back, muttering, "This girl doesn't know where to hide......

After a while, Yinghui, whose face was crimson, turned out from behind, and she glanced at the jade bracelet on the table, and her face became redder and redder. Ying Hui sat down on the chair where her grandmother had sit, fiddling with the placket of her dress with her head down, as if there was nothing more important at this moment than her placket.

"That...... Actually, you don't know me yet......" I tried to soften the awkward silence.

"I understand. I know you're a good person. Ying Hui quickly picked up the conversation.

I cleared my throat: "Yinghui, you also know that we soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, which means that I have to go wherever Shangfeng tells me to go, maybe here today, tomorrow I will go to another place, and not only this place of residence, every day may be gone and never come back......"

Yinghui reached out in a panic to cover my mouth: "Don't say such things, my grandmother said that you are a blessed minister, even if you go to the battlefield, the bullets will go around you, don't laugh, she sees people very accurately." ”

I smiled bitterly: "Grandma may have lost her eyes this time, after four years of fighting, I haven't seen anyone more unlucky than me." ”

Yinghui: "Even if you have any bad luck, it will be all over today, grandma said...... Grandma said that the two of us were very compatible, and said that I was a ...... of Wangfu's life."

A girl's family can say such things in front of a man, which is equivalent to a declaration of her life. If I'm still pretending to be talking nonsense at this time, then I'm really not as good as a scumbag.

In the 26th year of the Republic of China, I gave up my pen and followed the army under the slogan of "one inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops".

I have followed different troops, and the way of defeat is also strange, the most absurd time was in an independent regiment in Hebei, we were ordered to open the front line to block the Japanese army, and as soon as we left the city gate, the whole army was scattered by a third. In the end, before we saw the shadow of the Japanese army, our army of more than 1,000 people, together with the regiment commander, had already run away!

I have often doubted that my fortune is the fortune of the country, and that I will be obscure until the country is completely occupied by foreigners.

But just now, the harsh fate seemed to have changed, and he brought me something different—a girl who had entrusted her life to me. In Yinghui's affectionate narration, I felt that my heart was about to melt.

The faint sound of gunfire in the distance dragged me back to reality: "The Japanese will come over soon, Xin'an will definitely not be able to hold it, you should go to Guiyang." ”

Grandma Yinghui seems to have already thought about it: "I won't leave, if I leave, this family will be completely gone...... Yinghui, you follow Chief An, I'm an old lady, unless the little devil is really cannibalistic, otherwise he can't do anything to me. ”

The old lady was very stubborn, she was actually worried that her grandson would come back suddenly. She also stubbornly demanded that Yinghui must leave.

"When you come back after beating away the little devils, I won't be able to die for three or five years." Grandma Yinghui smiled and comforted us.

Yinghui's crying added to the meaning of life and death in the rumbling cannon, but she couldn't convince her grandmother, and began to pack her belongings at her grandmother's strict request.
