After lunch the next day, taking advantage of the lunch break, Sun Jiashu hurried to the village where Xiao Yingzi lived, and when he arrived at the village, he found Xiao Yingzi's home without much effort. The courtyard of her house is facing the road on one side, the stone courtyard wall, a section of the wall has collapsed and is temporarily blocked with corn stalks, the low wooden door is crooked to the side, it looks like the gate has not been closed for a long time, he went straight to the yard, the house is also made of stone, the windows are very small, each one is covered with plastic sheeting, the wheat straw on the roof should have been replaced a long time ago, it has become black, and a small tree with a thick wrist grew in the middle of the grass roof, which is enough to show that the house has been years old, This grass house looks very incongruous compared to the new houses with red bricks and blue tiles on both sides.

The door of the house was hidden, and Sun Jiashu gently tapped the door with his hand and shouted: "Is anyone at home?" "No one answers, is there no one in the house? But the door isn't locked? Let's wait for a while, for a long time, there was a violent coughing sound in the house, it seems that someone is in the house, Sun Jiashu stood outside and waited patiently, and after a long while, the door of the house in disrepair "creaked" opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman who was tormented by the disease.

"Who are you looking for?" As soon as the middle-aged woman spoke, she was immediately accompanied by a heart-rending cough.

"Sister-in-law, is this Xiaoyingzi's home?"

The middle-aged woman looked at Sun Jiashu vigilantly, and saw that it was a soldier, so she said with confidence: "Yes, I am Xiaoyingzi's mother, cough cough." ”

"I'm here for Xiaoyingzi's schooling." Sun Jiashu said.

I heard that it was for Xiaoyingzi, and the middle-aged woman's face, which was flushed with coughing, barely showed a little smile. "Really?" She opened the door with difficulty: "Big brother, let's go and sit in the house, Xiaoyingzi has gone to herd the sheep, and she won't come back until dark." After saying a few words, she gasped violently again, as if she was about to cough out her lungs.

Sun Jiashu said: "Sister-in-law, it seems that you are not lightly ill? Why don't you go to the hospital? ”

"It's an old illness, and it's useless to see it." Yingzi's mother said with a wry smile.

Sun Jiashu walked into the house, the light in the house was also very dim in the daytime, only to see a broken table in the door, two chairs with broken legs crooked to one side, the newspaper pasted around the wall has been yellowed, and the content is still the "news" of the Third Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee, which has not been changed for at least ten years.

Yingzi's mother trembled and moved a small chair, shook it with her hand first, it seemed that she could still sit, she said to Sun Jiashu embarrassedly: "Big brother, you sit together, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I'll sit for a while and leave." Sun Jiashu sat down gently with his hand on the small chair, he saw that the small chair was not very firm, he was afraid that the chair would be crushed by sitting violently, and when he saw Yingzi's mother pouring a glass of water with trembling hands, he hurriedly stood up again and took the water cup and said, "I'll come, I'll come." ”

"Big brother, there is no tea at home, so you can drink it." Yingzi's mother looked very embarrassed.

"That's it, that's it, sister-in-law, Yingzi is still young, how can she do it if she doesn't go to school?"

Alas, her father left early, and I got this unfortunate illness again, and the family's money was all over the medicine, and I was in debt, and the family really couldn't afford to pay for her schooling. Yingzi's mother wiped away her tears as she spoke.

Sun Jiashu hurriedly took out the money and handed it over, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, this is a thousand yuan, which was made up by one of our classes for Xiaoyingzi, you let Xiaoyingzi continue to go to school." ”

"What a wonderful man, how can I thank you? Let me kowtow to you. Yingzi's mother was about to kneel down as she spoke, but Sun Jiashu hurriedly stopped her.

"Don't, don't." While Sun Jiashu spoke, he only heard a "click", it turned out that Sun Jiashu used too much force when he got up, and the small chair he was sitting on fell apart all of a sudden, Sun Jiashu said apologetically: "I'm sorry sister-in-law, are there nails?" I'll fix it. ”

Yingzi's mother said: "It's good that you didn't fall, there are nails in the box behind you, don't hide it from you, Yingzi's father was a carpenter when he was alive, he was popular, and the family usually made stools, so he gave them away, you said, the villagers came to visit the house, and people often said: This chair is really good, I don't have a stool to sit on at home, give me one, anyway, you have the skills to do it." I've never rejected anyone, and I really answered that sentence, there is no stool in the carpenter's house. However, after he left, the neighbors helped me a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have survived until now. ”

Sun Jiashu opened the box and looked, sure enough, it was the carpenter's toolbox, which had hammers and nails, he didn't say a word, took out the tools and started to do it, after a "Ding Ding Dang" sound, the bad chair was repaired, and he also strengthened another small stool by the way. After finishing the matter, Sun Jiashu put the tools back in place and said, "Sister-in-law, I should go, we still have to train in the afternoon." ”

"Big brother, I haven't taken a sip of water yet, let's leave after drinking." Yingzi's mother kept it.

"No, sister-in-law, I'm leaving, you can stay." Sun Jiashu said and walked towards the door.

"Big brother, I don't know what your name is, so how can I thank you in the future?" Yingzi's mother suddenly remembered that she didn't know people's names after talking for a long time.

"Don't ask sister-in-law, you put away the money and remember to let Xiaoyingzi go to school tomorrow." Sun Jiashu walked out as he spoke.

"Big brother, you must tell me your name." Yingzi's mother dragged her weak body and chased it out.

"Sister-in-law, my name is the People's Liberation Army, go back."

Yingzi's mother chased to the gate, and kept saying: "It's still the People's Liberation Army, it's still the People's Liberation Army." ”

Sun Jiashu returned to the army, the soldiers in the squad came around to ask about the situation, Sun Jiashu shook his head when he spoke: "The family is so poor that it can't be poorer, there is not even a stool to sit on, I think Yingzi's mother is suffering from severe asthma, the money we sent is a drop in the bucket, although Yingzi can go to school, but there is no guarantee that he will not drop out of school in the future, if you want to fundamentally solve the problem, only cure Yingzi's mother's illness first, it seems that we are powerless." ”

After listening to what Sun Jiashu said, everyone was silent, this treatment costs money, and the dozens of yuan in January when he was a soldier are not worth mentioning at all.

Xiao Guangdong suddenly broke the silence and said, "Sun Jiashu, tell me how much it costs to see a doctor, right?" ”

"It's going to cost three or five thousand dollars." Sun Jiashu said.

Xiao Guangdong smiled, "Isn't it just a few thousand yuan?" I thought there were many, Sun Jiashu, leave this task to me, I promise to make it up within two months. ”

Sun Jiashu forgot that there was a super tyrant beside him, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Do you have any way to say it for everyone to hear." ”

Xiao Guangdong said mysteriously: "Keep it secret for the time being." ”

"I can warn you, no matter what you do, first, you are not allowed to make crooked doors, and second, you are not allowed to reach out to your local tyrant girlfriend to ask for it, you can stretch your skills outside of these two conditions." Sun Jiashu said.

"Don't worry, my squad leader, but I have a small request, and the quota for our class to go out on Sundays in the future must be given to me." Xiao Guangdong said.

"As long as you can complete the task, you can do whatever you want, even if we don't go out this year." Sun Jiashu swore and said.

"Then I will wronged the brothers, and I will invite everyone to dinner after completing the task." Xiao Guangdong said the same as the truth, and everyone couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

Lao Ma didn't believe Xiao Guangdong a little, afraid that he was fooling people again, so he said: "Xiao Guangdong, I'm going home to visit relatives in a few days, I originally planned to go to the city on Sunday to buy some local products here and bring them back to my hometown, don't fool me." ”

"They are all close comrades-in-arms, how can they play tricks? Don't worry, old horse, when you go home to visit your family, I will give you a gift. Xiao Guangdong said with a smile.

"Really? Then I won't ask for leave, and my hands are in favor of Xiao Guangdong going out on Sunday. The old horse raised his hands and said.

"I have an opinion." The veteran patted slowly and said, "My girlfriend is coming to see me next week, do you think my image can greet her?" I've got to go out and buy a decent dress, and I'm going to buy some gifts for my girlfriend, so I'm going to go out and step on some of them first, and if it's too expensive, I'll lose it. ”

"It's easy to do, it's on me, I guarantee that your girlfriend will come happily and leave with a smile." Xiao Guangdong said.

"What can you do?" Asked slowly.

"Secrecy for now." Little Guangdong is still very mysterious, "maybe a tempting gift, maybe ......"

"Slow down for half a beat, you better be careful, just don't let your girlfriend be hung up by him." The old horse said with a smile.

"Is my little Guangdong that kind of person, haven't you heard from others? Friends and wives, don't be bullied. We are comrades-in-arms, more friends than friends, and I will not do anything to be sorry for my friends and comrades-in-arms if I am killed. Xiao Guangdong said.

"Oh, I'm relieved, I'm willing to go to the city in a hundred places." Slowly, he sat down satisfied, and stopped talking.

"Squad Leader Zhang, and me." One recruit began to heck, "My girlfriend is coming too." "It looks like he wants to slaughter the super big tyrant in the class too.

"Recruit egg, don't make trouble, how old are you, why do you have a girlfriend?" Xiao Guangdong said.

"Squad Leader Zhang, you don't know yet, right? The last time he went to the city, he hung up a little girl, and she was still in elementary school. Another recruit said.

"I said that your new comrade is too immoral, how can you tempt a young girl, you know, using deception to have a relationship with a young girl is a serious crime." Xiao Guangdong said.

"Squad Leader Zhang, he lied to you, everyone is in junior high school." The recruit quibbled.

"Is there such a thing? Sun Jiashu's squad leader, this guy doesn't admit himself, and gives him a big demerit. Xiao Guangdong said to Sun Jiashu.

"Squad leader, don't give me a big demerit, I'm not going to the city." The recruits don't give their opinions.

"I didn't go to the city with squad leader Zhang, he would invite me to eat knife-cut noodles, and when I thought that I couldn't go to the city with squad leader Zhang again, I remembered that knife-cut noodles came, you see, my stomach is hungry now, and now I'm so hungry that I panic." A second-year soldier said, holding his stomach.

"Or is this brother direct, isn't he just hungry? Tonight, everyone in our class will come with me, and I will ask each of you to have a pig's trotter. Xiao Guangdong said loudly.

"Oh, the local tyrant has a treat, the local tyrant has a treat." Everyone in the class cheered and walked out with Xiao Guangdong one by one.

Sun Jiashu saw that how could he spend money like this, he hurriedly said loudly to Xiao Guangdong: "Xiao Guangdong, now is a special period, and our money can't be spent indiscriminately." "But the people in the class are messy, where can Xiao Guangdong hear it? Sun Jiashu had no choice but to give up, he realized that what he said just now was a bit inappropriate, how did other people's money become ours? You can spend other people's money how they like, can you manage it? "Well, wait for me." Sun Jiashu chased after him.
