The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 11, Chaotianque, Section 1, the gaze of an American reporter

Webber was awakened by the sound of talking in the courtyard, he opened his eyes and picked up the watch next to him to look at it, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and he slept for six hours, he sat up and chōu a cigarette, only then did he feel a rumbling in his stomach, and a strong hunger rushed over, he got up and put on his clothes, and pushed mén out. Whole\Ben\Small\Say\Net

The landlady had already heard the movement in the room and hurriedly stabbed the stove open. When Weber pushed Mén out, the landlord was putting the beaten grain into the bag, and when he saw Weber coming out, the uncle greeted Weber, and Weber also responded vaguely, and the lady brought out a basin of water and put it on the stone table, and Weber began to wash with water without being polite.

Everything seemed natural, as if they had been living together for a long time. When Webb first moved in, the old couple was very worried about a foreign devil at home, but Weber's rent was very high, twice as high as **, and the old couple reluctantly accepted it for the sake of money.

After Webb moved in, the old two found that this foreign devil treats people very kindly, not much different from the Chinese, maybe the only difference is that they like to sleep during the day, but they don't sleep all night at night, the lights in the room are bright from night to morning, and the lamp oil at home is consumed several times faster than usual.

The most satisfying thing for the old couple is that Weber is not particular about eating at all, he also eats whatever they eat, and on the first day, the old couple made a meal for him, but he found out, he actually insisted on eating with the old couple, and specially told them not to make it for him in the future.

After washing, Weber began to help the landlord load food, the landlord is not without children, they have two sons and two children, the eldest son married, the younger son committed suicide after being ruined by the devil, the two sons all joined the army, the eldest son participated in the ** in his early years, and then I didn't know where he went, the younger son joined the Eighth Route Army guerrillas after the death of the little nv, and now I don't know where it is, and there are only two old people left in the family.

Weber was not familiar with farm work, but he still did it very dedicatedly, and the landlord seemed to be accustomed to Weber's actions, and his movements were much slower than when he was working alone, obviously cooperating with Weber. The two of them packed all the food picked up by the landlord without saying a word, and the landlord also brought out the lunch that was left warm at this time.

"It smells so good." Weber took a deep breath, grabbed a nest head and bit it very much, the yellow nest head exuded the aroma of yù rice, the lunch in the countryside was very simple, a few pieces of pickled vegetables, a bowl of soup, and a few nests on a plate.

"Wei Yangren," the landlord patted the dust on his body, looked at Weber, who was gobbling up, and asked, "What do you eat in the United States?" Is it also a nest head? ”

The title of Wei Yangren was thought about by the landlord for a long time before he came up with it, and Weber once protested, but the old man just didn't change it, so he had no choice.

Hearing the uncle's words, Weber was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the landlord, the landlord's expression told him that this question had been held in his heart for a long time, and Weber smiled: "Of course not, but we also eat yù rice, but we don't grind yù rice, but how to cook it." When it comes to eating, we Americans are this," Webb raised his little finger, then changed it to a thumbs up: "You Chinese are this." ”

The uncle laughed, lù showed a satisfied look, the eldest lady came out with a dustpan at this time, sat in the yard, and began to break yù rice, Weber knew that this was preparing tomorrow's things, and he would not eat wotou for dinner, and dinner was generally yù rice cereal.

"That's no different from us," the eldest lady said, "I heard that you Americans eat cow ròu, and I was thinking, how to eat that cow ròu." ”

Weber understood what they were talking about, and he smiled and explained, "That's not bad, we call it steak, and we usually grill steak, and grill it medium-rare, or medium-rare, so that the taste of the steak is not spoiled." ”

Weber is not a chef or nutritionist, so he doesn't know how good this is and how to maintain nutrition, so he was worried that the landlady would continue to ask, so he immediately changed the topic: "Actually, I still like to eat Sichuan braised beef ròu." ”

The landlord obviously didn't know what the braised beef ròu was, and Weber watched the uncle bring the grain into the house, and couldn't help asking, "How is this year's harvest?" ”

"Okay," the eldest lady smiled when she mentioned this, and the wrinkles on her face were piled together: "This year, God has opened his face, it is a rare good year, and it is said that it is better to drive away the little devils to have such a good harvest." ”

"Commander Zhuang is still a good official, rent reduction and interest reduction, we can be considered relaxed, if the little devil is still there, no matter how good the harvest is, we won't be able to eat enough." The uncle came out of the house and said angrily.

"Speaking of which, let's talk about it, I still met a good official," the eldest lady nodded seriously: "Even if the little devil didn't come before, his life was not so steady, if you want to say that it is better to say that it is better to Commander Zhuang, alas, it's just that I don't know how long he can stay here." ”

Weber nodded slightly, after the recovery of eastern Hebei, social reform was immediately carried out in eastern Hebei, even more than the Pingjin area, Zhuang Jihua has looked at eastern Hebei as his own territory, the Ministry of the People and the National Salvation Association have stationed teams in every county and town, and the army has also sent a team of farmers, after three months of propaganda and implementation, the entire eastern Hebei has carried out rent and interest reduction, household registration, and of course, it has also implemented unified purchase and sales.

"I heard that CD is also implementing rent and interest reductions, haven't you implemented them here?" Webb looked at the landlord with interest.

CD implemented rent and interest reduction in their base areas, which has become an important economic policy for them in the Anti-Japanese War, that is, relying on this policy, D also has a large base area in eastern Hebei, and they are also implementing rent and interest reduction in these base areas, Weber is very curious, how these Chinese people evaluate the difference between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in this policy.

However, the landlord and the eldest lady obviously disappointed him, and the eldest lady stopped what she was doing, looked at him and said: "We have heard that earlier when there were no devils in the village, some people also came to publicize it, but after the devils came, they left quickly, and my son also left with them, and now I don't know where it is." ”

There was a deep sense of loss on the eldest mother's face, and Weber also sighed, but the eldest mother changed the topic and began to care about him: "I said big brother, you are alone with us, don't you worry about your daughter-in-law at home?" ”

Webber thought about it and realized that the eldest lady was asking his wife, Weber smiled bitterly, he had borrowed marriage, but it has been more than ten years since the divorce, and his wife was also a reporter stationed in China.

"I'm divorced," Webber was very frank, he didn't plan to hide it from his aunt, but to his surprise, his aunt was stunned, and the work in her hand stopped, looking at Weber a little blankly and asking, "Divorce?" What is divorce? ”

Weber was also stunned, in his opinion, the word divorce is not unfamiliar in China, after the establishment of the Republic of China, there will be divorce, and it is often reported in the newspaper, this village is not far from the railway, it should not be a closed place, there is a school in the village, and it should not be a backward place, but the aunt doesn't even know about divorce.

"Divorce is the separation of husband and wife," Weber began to explain slowly: "The husband and wife apply to the court to dissolve the marital relationship, divide the property of both parties, and after the court approves it, the two parties dissolve the marital relationship, which is divorce." ”

The eldest lady is still a little confused, the uncle obviously needs to know more, and he made the eldest lady understand in one sentence: "It is to sue the official and let the government call the shots." ”

The eldest lady understood now, her hand began to move quickly again, but her tone was a little unkind: "Why do you want to throw away your daughter-in-law, isn't this Chen Shimei." ”

Weber still knew what Chen Shimei was, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself: "No, we have no feelings for both of us, and after separation, we will find happiness for each other again." ”

"You cultural people, if you say something crepe, Chen Shimei also has a lot of reasons to change her mind." The eldest lady looked a little unhappy, and expressed her concern in a timely manner: "I said big brother, seeing that you are not young anymore, you should find an NV person, become a family, and stop shaking like this all day long." ”

Weber almost laughed out loud, but he was still tǐng feeling jī eldest mother, but now he didn't know how to explain it to the eldest mother, if his wife was still there, he might still be able to explain it clearly, but now his wife has already returned to the United States with her husband.

"Actually, I didn't propose our divorce, it was my ex-wife." Webb said.

The eldest lady was even more surprised at this time, looking at him as if she had heard a fantasy, Weber continued: "That was more than ten years ago, oh, no, it seems to be eight years ago, I went to India for an interview, and half a year later, when I came back, we talked once, and she proposed to break up. ”

"Oh," the eldest lady seemed to understand a little now, and then she was surprised: "How can she be like this, such a nv person, water xìng yang huā, don't do it, I said big brother, what do you want to find, there are many boudoirs in our village." ”

In the face of the aunt's sudden enthusiasm, Weber was a little embarrassed, the uncle suddenly coughed at this time, the aunt suddenly felt something, turned her head to look at the uncle, and then shut up and said nothing. There was a sudden embarrassment in the yard, and Weber suddenly understood that the lady regarded him as a Chinese, and the uncle reminded her that Weber was not Chinese.

Weber didn't want to talk about this topic, and quickly wanted to divert from this embarrassment, and before he could think of a move, Charles and Bai Xiude appeared outside the courtyard.

"Webb, you know what? The Russians have launched an offensive in the Far East, just received the news. Charles pushed Mén away and couldn't wait to announce the news he had just received.

Weber didn't open his mouth when he heard this, he swallowed the nest head in his hand in three or two times, drank the soup in front of him in a few sips, and Bai Xiude sat down in front of him: "Don't worry, the theater command has not held a press conference yet." ”

Webb hesitated, slowed down, thought for a while, and said, "I estimate that the attack on the northeast may be advanced. ”

Zhuang Jihua did not launch an attack on the northeast for a long time, and Weber and the others also discussed that Zhuang Jihua might start the attack after the summer harvest and solved the food problem. But this sudden change made Weber think that Zhuang Jihua might start attacking immediately.
