At this time, an old man stood up, it seemed to be Xu Yushan's father, he had a kind face, dressed plainly, and was no different from ordinary people. He first arched his hand to Han Xing and said, "Fortunately! Fortunately! When the adults came to the humble house, it was indeed full of glory and the whole family was glorious. The devil just burned down the house and made you laugh! ”

Han Xing also hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Long Yang, long Yang, I didn't say hello to you when I entered the door." Faux pas! Faux pas! ”

The old man said humbly: "There is Yushan there, so I won't bother." Then he turned his head and reprimanded Xiao Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, this is your eldest brother's friend, how can he talk nonsense, there is no tutor." ”

As if he knew that he was wrong, Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "I won't talk about drinking noodles anymore." Then he ran to his seat, which was actually two bricks. Xiao Qi picked up a bowl of polenta and drank it in large gulps, which means, you see how fragrant I am!

Han Xing was speechless for a while.

Xiao Qiyi accidentally fell on the ground on a few pieces of corn nest slag. Father Xu didn't say a word, went up and picked it up from the ground, and threw it into his mouth at once. Xiao Qi glanced at his father, and quickly picked up a slag that had not been picked up and filled it into his mouth.

Xiao Qi's old lady couldn't stand it anymore, and complained to Xiao Qi: "Look at you child, why don't you know how to cherish food so much, is it easy to collect food!" ”

Han Xing returned to Xu Yushan, and saw that Xu Yushan's bowl of noodles had been drunk, and he took a corn nest to eat, eating a lot of radish sticks, and the scrambled eggs were not moved at all, and they were still kept for Han Xing. Han Xing also took the two scrambled eggs, walked to the little daughter-in-law of the nursing child, brought it to her and said, "This is what Yushan asked me to give you, your nursing child needs nutrition." ”

The little daughter-in-law panicked, hurriedly pushed off the bowl and said, "No, no, Yushan eats a good devil." I ate it, it's useless at all, and I can't fight devils, the Xu family doesn't have this rule. ”

Han Xing shoved the bowl into her hand, stopped talking, turned his head back, took the bowl of noodles and drank it in a few sips.

Xu Yushan said to Han Xing: "What you said about Xie Xinhe, is it really false? You're an old Kuomintang, let me hear your opinion? ”

Han Xing couldn't help but laugh in his heart, the old Kuomintang, that is the dead Han Xing, the current Han Xing...... Well, it's better to keep it a secret for the time being and not reveal your identity.

Han Xing said: "The War of Resistance is good, do you want to count on the Kuomintang, or do you want to count on ***?" ”

Xu Yushan said: "Of course I am counting on the Kuomintang, how many people and how many guns are there?" ”

"What about the Kuomintang people?"

"Isn't there Fan Zhuxian's security forces, the battle of Nanzhen really made the devil collapse, and he lost his armor."

"Do you know why Nanzhen was able to win the battle?"

"How can I not know that I Liaocheng is dedicated to the anti-Japanese army and people, plus I have the support of the national army's aircraft."

"Is that a plane of the national army?"

Xu Yushan's eyes widened, he looked at Han Xing, he was really afraid that something was wrong with Han Xing's brain, and said, "It's not a plane of the national army, is it a plane of ***!?" ”

Han Xing smiled: "Let's not talk about this problem first, in our area, the regular troops of the Kuomintang are gone, and the regular troops of *** are coming, I am afraid you really don't know about this matter." ”

"Really?" Xu Yushan really didn't know about this.

Han Xing told him that several regular troops of the Eighth Route Army had been stationed in the Liaocheng area, and asked: "Do you want to count on the Kuomintang, or do you want to count on ***?" ”

Xu Yushan thought for a while and said: "You have to count on the Kuomintang in the Anti-Japanese War, but *** can't be underestimated." ”

After eating, the Xu family began to work again, the male laborers continued to strengthen the roof, the women cleaned up, picked up some daily household items, the children, the older ones, helped the adults with the work, and the younger ones, ran before and after the yard, doing children's games.

Han Xing asked Xiao Qi, who was dancing "house": "Xiao Qi, where do you expect to pay for the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar you usually buy?" ”

Xiao Qi continued to jump and said: "The chicken's eyes are out of the bank, the usual oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are counting on the eggs laid by the old hen, and I have five or six old hens, but now, the old hens are called the devil to be arrested." ”

"You look so good in clothes, who weaves the cloth and who makes it for you?"

Xiao Qi said again: "My mother and my sister-in-law can weave cloth, and after weaving the cloth, I dyed it myself, and my mother made clothes for me again." ”

Han Xing thought in his heart, this Xu Yushan family is no different from an ordinary peasant family, to put it bluntly, it is an ordinary peasant family, and it is indeed a bit far-fetched to hook Xu Yushan with those vicious local tyrants and inferior gentry.

When Han Xing arrived on the street, he saw Chen Ping sitting on a few bricks sighing, his face was very ugly. Han Xing smiled and asked her, "How is it, did you encounter something unhappy?" ”

Chen Ping was originally angry, but when she saw Han Xing coming, her face turned and her mouth pouted, "Don't you know how to count, count me, what difficulties did you encounter?" ”

Han Xing pretended to look at his right hand, and then pinched a few fingers of his right hand, and said, "Is it a matter of work?" ”

Chen Ping smiled, and two deep dimples appeared on his face with a smile: "You are really accurate, what are the specific things at work?" ”

Han Xing pinched his right finger back and forth, and said: "In the matter of women's work, it seems that it is difficult to mobilize women, especially to mobilize women to fight against landlords and old wealth. ”

Chen Ping stuck out his tongue and said in astonishment: "I can't complain that it's Fan Zhuxian's secretary, he really knows how to calculate, and he made you right." ”

Han Xing asked again: "Specifically, what did the fellow villagers say, and what do they think of Xu Yushan's family?" ”

Chen Ping is young in the end, that is, a young student who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and really thinks that Han Xing will help her, so he said: "There is no problem in mobilizing women to organize to resist Japan, but they have encountered difficulties in organizing to fight against the landlord and the old wealth, especially with Xu Yushan's family." They all said that Xu Yushan's family was a good person and a great good person. When the wheat was harvested, the Xu family cut it once, and allowed the poor man to pick up the wheat without hindering it. When the jujube was ripe in autumn, someone went to pick his jujube, and Daddy Xu didn't care when he saw it, he said, Dad, Dad, someone stole our jujube. Daddy Xu said, pick it, pick it, don't pick it when you're full, if you shout, if he is scared and falls from the tree, it will cause trouble for our family. When encountering a disaster year, the Xu family also boiled gruel and opened porridge sheds for hungry people to drink casually. I asked the women to fight against such people, but they were unwilling, and they still said good things about Daddy Xu everywhere. In my opinion, this is Daddy Xu's fake positiveness and buying people's hearts. ”

Han Xing said: "A lifetime of fake positive, buy and recognize the heart, that is to be really positive, love the people." ”

Chen Ping glared at Han Xing and said, "The landlord Lao Cai, no matter how he disguises himself, sooner or later he will show his feet, and sooner or later he will expose his essence of opposing the revolution and opposing the people." ”

Han Xing said: "There are left, center, and right in any class, and the landlord class is no exception; just like the poor and middle peasants, there are also those who are resolutely revolutionary and resolutely resist Japan, and there are also a very small number of people who surrender to Japan and become traitors and become bullies and traitors." ”

"You!" Chen Ping glared at Han Xing angrily, "I can't talk to you at all, oh, I forgot, you represent the interests of the landlord class and speak specifically for the landlord class." ”

Han Xing provoked her again: "Don't forget that the party's united front has long abolished the policy of confiscating landlords' land in its policy of dealing with the landlord class. On the question of political power, the early theory put forward the three-three system of power, that is, the first third of the members (representing the working class and the poor peasants), the leftist progressives (representing the petty bourgeoisie), the centrist elements and other elements (representing the middle class and the enlightened gentry). It seems that you still haven't learned the issue of the united front thoroughly? ”

After listening to Han Xing's words, Chen Ping was very angry, and said angrily: "For you, it's just more than half a sentence of speculation." ”

Han Xing said a little "brazenly": "For you, I happen to know a thousand words. ”

Chen Ping was even more angry with Han Xing, and was about to leave with his sleeves, when he suddenly heard the sound of a quarrel coming from the Xu family's compound, and both of them couldn't help but stop arguing, and steadied their minds and pricked up their ears to listen to what was arguing over there.

It turned out that Xu Yushan was leading a few people from the Lianzhuang Association, and they were about to load food from their homes. Yuchen, the second eldest of the Xu family, was reluctant, and protected the Xu family's grain and said, "Big brother, if you take out all the food, what can more than a dozen people in our family eat?" ”

Xu Yushan glared and said: "As long as there is something that Lianzhuang will eat, there will be food for our family." ”

Yuchen said unconvinced: "Then our family will be hungry tomorrow, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, how can I start a gang?" ”

Yuchen didn't finish his words, so angry that Yushan jumped up, pulled out the box gun and shouted: "I'll kill you foolish worm, become a slave of the dead country, you eat a fart!" ”

Hearing the two brothers arguing, Father Xu rushed out of the house and yelled at the two: "Fight!" Hit! I see you two brothers fighting! The Japanese just burned down our house, and your brothers and sisters are fighting again! Hit! If you have the ability to fight, it's good to kill one! It's only the two of you who are capable of it! ”

Hearing their father's reprimand, the brothers stopped talking. Xu Yushan hurriedly inserted the box gun back into his waist.

Father Xu reprimanded the eldest again: "There is an eldest son in the family, the minister of the state, you are the boss, what will not be discussed with the younger brothers, why make such a big noise, don't you think our Xu family is not messy enough?" ”

Xu Yushan thought about it, and he was right, he was also in a hurry that Lianzhuang would have no food to eat, and he didn't think about the second brother's family, he had to worry about the dozens of mouths of the Xu family. So, after taking a breath of relief, Xu Yushan said to Father Xu and his second brother Yuchen: "Dad, second brother, it's not right to complain about me, I just want to fight Japan and have nothing to eat, but I didn't think of these dozens of people up and down our Xu family." However, you also have to think about it, I am the head of the Lianzhuang Society, these hundreds of people have no food, how can they fight devils, they can't fight devils, let alone the Xu family, the people in Xuda Hutong can't be saved, and the dozens of villages around here can't be saved. ”

Father Xu thought for a while and said, "The boss is right, without the Lianzhuang Association, without the team, there is nothing to talk about." ”

The second Yuchen was still unconvinced and said: "There are so many people in the Lianzhuang Association, and you can't just count on our Xu family." Without Zhang Butcher, I can't eat fresh pork! ”

Yushan said to Yuchen doing work: "Second brother, don't you know, now that the people in our Xuda Hutong can't eat, who can still take out the surplus grain to supply the Lianzhuang Association." Our family doesn't have much food, but after all, there is still a little, you say, if we don't take food out of our family, who can we expect to take food? ”

The second child is still unwilling: "I don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, I take care of this family, I just don't take food outside, what do you say!?" ”

Father Xu spoke again: "Yuchen, take out all the food." Our family has no food, and we can still get by, but we really don't have anything to eat, so we can deal with it by boiling some gruel. But those who carry guns in the Lianzhuang Club can't even carry guns without eating. Take it out, take it out! ”

The second Yuchen was angry, and said angrily: "Okay! The food is out, right? I don't deserve this home. Whoever wants to be whoever! As he spoke, he shook his hand angrily and rushed out of the hospital with a snort.

Father Xu said to the few Lianzhuang members who came to pull the grain: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and load the grain?" ”

Several Lianzhuang members saw that the Xu family had made such a big mess for food, and they were embarrassed to come to load food. A member of Lianzhuang said: "Township Chief Xu put the whole family on the back of the war for the Anti-Japanese War, the old and the young, and he was reluctant to eat and wear, so he took the meat on his body and pasted it on everyone's body!" ”

Xu Yushan scolded at this Lianzhuang member: "Why is there so much nonsense, hurry up and load food!" ”

The Xu family's accumulation of more than 5,000 catties of millet and sorghum was taken away by the Lianzhuang Society, and there were also more than 2,000 catties of cotton, and cotton jackets and cotton pants were also made for soldiers who had no cotton clothes to wear.

Han Xing felt that the matter of food was indeed a matter of importance, and the people regarded food as the sky, so he started a family routine with Father Xu: "Father Xu, how many catties of grain can your family's acre of land produce?" ”
