Scars (1) (399)

Liu Xingmei glanced at the book that Ni Ting put on the kang, which turned out to be "Romance of the Gods". She knows that this young lady has never gone to a private school or school, and the Wu family has never invited a teacher to many children and grandchildren, but she has also learned a lot of words in front of her grandfather and father, because she can be regarded as a scholarly family, not just those who learned in the school, otherwise she can't read a book, and even if she reads, she can only swallow dates and watch flowers. Then he stooped down to look at the three children, and saw that they were not sleeping, and seemed very quiet and obedient without crying or making trouble.

Liu Xingmei asked, "Can I hug these three cute little babies?" ”

"Of course." Effie Ling said with a smile.

Liu Xingmei picked up the three babies one by one and kissed the pink little faces affectionately, and put them down one by one, all of them were like ice sculptures and snow buildings, and they all looked like a person, it was difficult to distinguish which one was which, it was really out of a mold. She doesn't have any children herself, so it's very kind to see other people's children, not to mention that these three sibling twin sisters are really cute, and they really can't put it down when they hold it in their arms.

"They look like one of them, can you recognize who is the eldest and the second and third?"

Effie Ling said: "I made a mark at birth, otherwise I would have been confused by now." ”

"You're so happy."

"Xingmei, don't blame me for being too talkative, this time Zhenkun comes back, you also have to hurry up and get pregnant and give birth to one early. He has a different status now, I heard that the Kuomintang officials are not three wives and four concubines, and as long as a woman has a child, she may be able to tie a man's heart. There are a few men who are single-minded and love to mess with flowers, and the more women there are, the better! ”

"It's easier said than done for me!" Liu Xingmei felt a little ashamed to be a woman.

Ni Ting is a boudoir girl, and when she heard a married woman say that she couldn't get rid of the birth of a child, she had to go down to the ground and put on her shoes to leave.

"Fourth sister, why are you going?"

"You speak, I-I'm not in my presence, I-"

Effie Ling smiled and stopped Ni Ting and said, "This is a woman's words, what are you embarrassed about, you still have to watch the child." Xingmei, my fourth sister is seventeen, and when she reaches the age of engagement, if you have a good candidate, look for one for her and make me a matchmaker for my fourth sister, right? ”

Ni Ting said coyly: "Sixth sister-in-law, you are joking with me again!" ”

"Men should get married, women should get married, this is a matter of course, what are you embarrassed about."

Liu Xingmei said: "As the saying goes, 'the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married', with the handsome appearance of the fourth lady, are you still worried that you can't find Ruyi Langjun?" If the fourth lady finds her mother-in-law's house, the matchmaker will not have to break the threshold! Isn't there such a sentence, 'the old eagle magpie is in the wing'? I haven't seen anything in the world, I'm short-sighted, and I walk around this palm-sized village all day long, not to mention the outside world, even the people in front of me don't know enough, who has an unmarried good guy who doesn't know, isn't it embarrassing for me to let me protect the media?! In terms of the reputation of the Wu family, I must find someone who is the right person, who can come to the sedan chair immediately, and let me protect the media, but I am blindfolded and grasshoppers, and I can't catch one, right? Regardless of whether it is successful or not, I am sorry for Miss Four. ”

She was an extremely disgusted person with duplicity, so she prevaricated politely, although she saw Effieling's sincerity, she was unwilling to accept it.

Effie Ling smiled: "You just say that the cover is impenetrable." There are a lot of people who come to the door to protect the media, but my sister has a high heart, ordinary people are not eye-catching, and then there are elders who don't want her to marry far away like the eldest sister. So, it's a bit of a high or low. According to his age, there is no need to worry. This other person is not worried, but I don't know if the fourth sister is worried? ”

"Fifth sister-in-law, you're making fun of people again, I hate it!" There was also shyness on Ni Ting's slightly dark cheeks.

Effie Ling said: "It's normal for people to talk about marriage, what are you so shy about? ”

Liu Xingmei could see that there was a close friendship between this sister-in-law. It is not difficult to hear from Effie Ling's words that the Wu family intends to choose a mate for Ni Ting in the village, and the unmarried young men in the village are not good at Chenglong, but Tao Zhenkun is undoubtedly the best candidate, not to mention that she has already seen the clues in Ni Ting's eyebrows, as long as someone matches her, she will be ten percent sure. And she is the most suitable person to act as a matchmaker, I believe that Tao Zhenzong will probably not refuse this kind of high climbing, but - Mei Xiang, who has a crush on him, is still wronged Jiuquan, can she do something sorry for her sister who has not taken revenge? In her current mood, she no longer wants to be involved in Hongchen's trivial matters! Mei Xiang's death has become a scar that she can never erase in this life!

She said: "Don't worry about this, presumably Miss Fourth already has someone in her heart." With the fourth lady's Lan Xinhui quality, she must rather climb Gao Lang than climb the high wall. ”

Effie Ling was stunned, looked at Liu Xingmei, and then looked at Ni Ting in a daze, and asked, "Fourth sister, to be honest, right?" ”

"How is it possible, I don't even go out of the gate normally, who can I know?" Ni Ting's expression was flustered, and she had already leaked the secret in her heart.

"That person is far away in front of you, right?"

"Don't guess!"

Effie Ling looked at Liu Xingmei and said with a smile: "I feel the same way as you, so why don't you be a favor?" ”

Liu Xingmei said modestly: "The Wu family has many relatives in the village, all of whom are more suitable for this matchmaker than me, I am young and inexperienced, and I am soft-spoken, so I am not a person who is worthy of virtue, don't let me mess up a good marriage." When the family affair is completed, wouldn't it be better for me to ask for a cup of wine and drink at that time! ”

Effie Ling smiled and said with disgust: "Your clever mouth can say, not a drop of water, but it is really slippery, just push two six five in a few words, and sit back and enjoy it." However, it does make sense. ”

For the Wu family, which is generally a woman who stays at home, several vigorous deeds about Liu Xingmei are all told by her husband, first, she is willing to generously sell the golden hairpin to treat her father-in-law's illness; the second is spicy, in front of the grinding platform, the three of them quarreled; the third is to generously give yellow rice noodles to the Chu family; the fourth is to take the lead in fighting for Liu Cuihua; fifth, he had the courage to shoot and kill two Imperial Allied troops; Sixth, she has to take people to set up ambushes to fight devils, and the important thing is that Wu Huan and Wu Le were rescued by her from the bad guys - of course, unknown things also exist, but no one has spread them. Just with these few things, it can be talked about, and it has become the pride and envy of being a woman. Regarding the recent statement that Liu Xingmei pretended to be a tiger to make money, some female compatriots did not dare to believe it, thinking that it was a despicable villain with ulterior motives who slandered and slandered idols!

Liu Xingmei said: "Without further ado, I hope to promote the marriage of destined people as soon as possible." You have to take the idea yourself, and I, an outsider, will not be involved. Fourth Miss, stay and don't bother, I'll go to the kitchen to help out. ”

"Xingmei, don't call Miss Grandma, now that we are peers, let's call them peers. In the past, our generation was too big, and it was really awkward. Since you won against your grandfather in chess, this generation has also changed, and we are very happy! We are a big family, but we don't have officials as eunuchs, and we don't let slaves call maids, so grandpa doesn't want others to have those unequal titles. ”

"I know that."

"Sister-in-law Xingmei!" Ni Ting screamed, and was about to go down to the ground to see each other off, but was stopped by Liu Xingmei.

Ni Ting blushed and said, "Then there will be labor!" ”

She was full of gratitude to Liu Xingmei in her heart, and she could hear who the two of them were referring to when they were playing dumb riddles. After Tao Zhenzong came to Wu's house as a teacher, after meeting and getting along several times, he fell in love with him, who was a talent. With Liu Xingmei's encouragement and support, it seems that her marriage is just around the corner, how can she not be secretly happy?

In fact, Liu Xingmei has long hoped that Tao Zhenzong has a heart, and stop being obsessed with her and delay her lifelong events! If Tao Zhenzong is engaged, others will no longer speculate. It's just that she feels that this is a little unfair to Mei Xiang!

Effie Ling said: "Now that you are an official's wife, you are entitled to enjoy the treatment that others dare not expect, don't-"

Liu Xingmei said: "I don't have that blessing, I'm still me!" ”

The two men walked out as they spoke.

Ni Ting picked up the book and held it to her chest, watching the three nieces lying there fall into sweet contemplation.

In the living room, followed by these people's inquiries, Tao Zhenkun told how he had an almost bizarre opportunity, how he inadvertently saved a division commander of the Kuomintang and how he embarked on the road of joining the army to resist Japan.

It turns out that the mystery has been solved, so that people suddenly realize that Tao Zhenkun is not what it used to be.

Tao Zhenkun also briefly introduced the current situation in the country, which made everyone feel that it was a mixture of joy and sorrow. What is heartening is that as long as we unite as one, there is great hope for driving the Japanese devils out of China. In the past, I listened to Tao Zhenzong talk about the outside world, but now when I listen to Tao Zhenkun, it naturally gives people a refreshing feeling. And the talk between the two of them is also trivial, Tao Zhenzong is knowledgeable, and it is nothing more than talking on paper, but Tao Zhenkun is a soldier who has experienced the test of bullets and bullets, and he is more knowledgeable than others.

Wu Cheng asked: "How can the little Japanese devil be so rampant?" ”

Tao Zhenkun said: "Japan's claim to be the Great Japanese Empire is actually just an exaggeration. At best, it is only an island country, the area is not large, the population is not large, and natural disasters are frequent, how dare it be compared with our China, just relying on the developed economy and advanced science and technology, it wants to be the king and hegemon, and the ambition is not small. Compared with our country, it is like a wolf and a lion, the wolf and the lion fight each other, and the victory or defeat is visible. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, whoever wants to be a slave to the country, and how can the ambition of trying to occupy China and become a colony succeed can only be wishful thinking. We are weak because of poverty, and we are bullied by foreign forces because of internal strife, which is the sorrow of the Chinese people! ”

Wu Yuanzu asked: "Who do you say will be in charge of the Kuomintang or the Communist Party in the future?" ”

Tao Zhenkun thought for a while and said: "Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but in fact, it is also a disagreement, and the Communist Party has been repeatedly encircled and suppressed by the Kuomintang. As for who will be able to rule the world in the future, no one dares to draw conclusions, in short, in the end, it is the one who wins the hearts of the people who wins the world. As far as the present situation is concerned, it was the Communist Party that first developed anti-Japanese base areas in the northeast region, and now that the anti-Japanese tide is rising, seeing that the Japanese devils will one day go in a big way, the higher authorities secretly ordered our 815th Division to quietly move closer to the northeast region and assemble, presumably once Japan is defeated, the Communist Party will never be allowed to monopolize the northeast. The Northeast is vast and rich in resources, and neither of the two parties will give up this piece of fat inadvertently, and it has become a battleground for soldiers. Judging by the situation, even if the Japanese are driven out of China, the two parties will be able to sit down and talk together, and it will be difficult to divide the world equally! This was originally a military secret, but he didn't dare to hide it in front of the old lady. ”

"Yes, no one can see through the world situation!" Old Lady Wu sighed and said.
