Chapter 88 Take advantage of the situation to protect yourself
Lu Qinghou hurriedly rushed to his residence with a stacked stainless steel lunch box. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten so well as he had eaten today, so much so that he had tears in his eyes as he ate it. Originally, his family had little wealth when they were in the township, but five years ago, his father fell ill, and the family sold his land in order to treat the disease, but in the end he failed to save his father's life, but owed a loan shark that could never be repaid. Helpless, he had to take his family to take the opportunity to avoid long hair and leave the country. On the way south, my mother returned to the west due to unadaptability. When he arrived in Xin'an, most of the Hunan people who came with him went to Hong Kong, but he stayed with his wife and younger brother, found a ruined temple to live in, and lived next to the beggars. Because he has no skills and is not good at work, he can only live a life of hunger and hunger. In the past few days, because they have not found a job, their family of three can only rely on their wives to go to the vegetable market to pick up some leftovers. Seeing the notice of the Liberation Army today made him see hope. When people reach the point of exhaustion, they will instinctively grasp the life-saving straw. When I avoided long hair, I heard that long hair waste holes were destroyed. If it was at that time to get to today's field, not to mention short hair, it was long hair that provided him with food and clothing, and he also ran to join the gang.
I trotted all the way, and as soon as I turned the corner, I saw a large group of people surrounding the gate of the ruined temple where I lived. There was a faint sound of shouting and scolding from the temple, Lu Qinghou was not good, so he pulled his legs and ran over, pushed away the people in front of him, and rushed in. When the onlookers saw a short hair, they avoided both sides, and someone recognized Lu Qinghou and whispered: "Lu Xiucai is back, there is a good show to watch now." ”
Lu Qinghou rushed into the circle of people, and saw two groups of people confronting each other in the courtyard of the broken temple. On one side is a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a long shirt, similar to the master's tent, with four or five strong men dressed in short clothes, with bare breasts and breasts, faintly surrounding each other; On the other side is his wife, her eyes are round, her silver teeth are clenched, her right hand holds a hairpin, pointing to several people in front of her, and her left hand protects the little uncle behind her, but her thin body exudes the majesty of a cub protecting a female beast. When she saw that the person who rushed in was her own backbone, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body suddenly relaxed, making her almost fall to the ground.
The few people who turned their backs to the door did not notice the change in the situation, the master shook the piece of paper in his hand, and said with a smile: "In black and white, the deed of purchase written by Lu Xiucai is here, and you still want to repay the account?" To be honest, isn't it better to follow our young master than to follow that sour man who can't even eat? ”
Lu Qinghou shouted: "What do you want to do?" Then he rushed into the circle of people and protected his wife and young brother behind him. The thin body had a leaning back, and it was soft and soft on the big and thick back.
Suddenly rushed in a short hair, startling several people, and when they saw their appearances clearly, the master secretly screamed bad luck. Under the rapid change of mind, the master immediately made a decision, stuffed the note in his hand into his arms, smiled on his face, and arched his hand: "Mr. Lu, don't misunderstand, my master heard that Mr. Lu joined the Guangfu Army today and was reused, and the special villain came to congratulate him." Saying the two ingots of silver wrapped in red paper from his arms, "Little Heyi, it's not a tribute!" ”
It seemed that in an instant, the tension disappeared. Of course, Lu Qinghou wouldn't believe his master's nonsense, but he also knew that the person behind it was something he couldn't afford to offend. Weighing the pros and cons, I can only endure this breath first. After thinking about it, he put down the lunch box in his hand and returned the salute: "Master Chen is too polite." Lu Qinghou is a certain virtue, can he be worthy of such a generous gift from Master Chen? I also asked the second housekeeper to go back and tell him, I understand Master Chen's kindness. Although the words were polite, the tone was rigid.
The second housekeeper said a few more polite words, but Lu Qinghou only insisted on not accepting it. The former was also afraid of causing more trouble, so he took his leave and left, and the onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and neither side of the incident was easy to mess with, so they dispersed in a hurry. The few beggars who originally lived in the ruined temple also hid far away.
When the frightened little Zhengtai saw that the bad guy was gone, he hugged his brother's thigh and cried. The little lady of the Lu family, who was extremely strong just now, now has pear blossoms and rain, buried her head in Lu Qinghou's arms and whimpered: "Third brother, Yun Niang thought she would never see you again!" ”
Lu Qinghou put his arms around his wife with one hand and his younger brother with the other, comforting him softly. After the two of them calmed down, they squatted down, opened the food box, and asked, "Are you all hungry?" Come and eat! ”
The moment the food box was opened, a strong aroma came to the nose, Xiao Zhengtai first burst into tears and smiled, took a lunch box from his brother's hand, and under the lure of the aroma of rice, he reached out and grabbed it without caring about the heat. Seeing his younger brother's jet-black little hand grabbing the rice ball and stuffing it into his mouth, Lu Qinghou hurriedly pulled him down, "Be careful of hot hands!" He said to his little daughter-in-law: "Yun Niang, you take Dong Yanzi to wash your hands!" Xiao Zhengtai reluctantly put down the lunch box and was led by his sister-in-law to wash his hands.
After coming back, Xiao Zhengtai took a stainless steel rice spoon from his brother and officially started. The fried pork liver with green peppers made Xiao Zhengtai, who had not seen the fish for a long time, his eyes green, and he frequently launched "attacks" on it, and the unaccustomed use of the spoon for the first time could not slow him down.
Yun Niang, that is, Lu Qinghou's little guest, freshened up before coming out. The thin body looks like she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her smart big eyes, as well as willow eyebrows, Yao nose, and cherry lips, all show that the Hunan girl is worthy of her name. Her maiden name is Han, nicknamed Yun Niang, she has been married to Lu Qing since she was a child, and she married into the Lu family after her parents died. In the past few years, the little girl has learned to be strong. Only then did she notice that the third brother had changed his appearance, his hair had been shaved, he was wearing a hat that looked like a large plate, and he was wearing a close-fitting short-sleeved cardigan gown, thin trousers, and a pair of black and shiny shoes. If you weren't very familiar with it, you wouldn't recognize it as the unkempt scholar at all.
Lu Qinghou beckoned to Han Yunniang, and handed her a box of lunch after the little girl came over. Looking at the delicate appearance of the little hallist, thinking of the martyrdom she faced with the villains just now, Lu Qinghou stroked her cheek, "Yun Niang, you have been wronged." One sentence made the little girl's tears welled up again.
The person who came just now was the second housekeeper of the Chen family's family and the thug of the Chen family in the town. That Chen Dahu's name is Chen Shirong, who is in his forties, and he is a tyrant in Longgang. The town's casinos, brothels, smoke houses, and pawnshops are all owned by him. Half a month ago, he accidentally saw Han Yunniang, so he started her idea. Coercion and temptation Lu Qinghou were unmoved, and today he used a false deed of sale to blackmail people. Lu Qinghou can be sure that it must be a conspiracy for someone to find him to copy the book a few days ago, and he is taking the opportunity to imitate his own handwriting. Putting down the dignity of a scholar and taking refuge in the "anti-thief" is to find a talisman for himself, and now it seems that this talisman is still very effective, at least the Chen family does not dare to provoke himself again. Thinking of this, he gently hugged the little girl into his arms, "Don't worry! No one will be able to bully you anymore in the future. ”

"What? Is this your wife? When I saw Lu Qinghou leading a little Zhengtai and a girl who was still a little bit with Lori back, all the modern people who came to watch after hearing the news were shocked. Although I know that ancient people got married early, in the face of such a "young girl", everyone thinks, "How can he do it?" Some people began to make up pictures of various ghost animals, and almost everyone labeled Lu Qinghou as a "beast".
“xiyojiyo。” Hong Shaoru, who had been observing the little girl, suddenly said, "It's still 'soju'." ”
Reacting quickly, he immediately understood what he meant, and Levi asked, "How do you know?" ”
"With more than 10 years of experience, I can see it accurately." Hong Shaoru said triumphantly. His words saved Lu Qinghou, and everyone classified the latter into the ranks of "beasts and beasts".
Qi Shima frowned and looked at the two children in tattered clothes, and said to Ye Huyi: "The little boy is okay, he can wear undershirts and shorts for two days." But we don't seem to have girls' clothes, do we? ”
"Find a dark T-shirt to wear for the time being, anyway, it's so flat and you can't see it, just let the base send a few little girl's clothes tomorrow." Ye Wat Yi suggested.
Zisma thought about it, this was the only way to go. Although Pan Xieqing can also find two little girls' clothes, the district government also has plans to carry out the "New Life Movement" in the jurisdiction. Let the inhabitants of the jurisdiction get rid of the ignorant, backward, uncivilized, unhygienic way of life, and the preparation of them starts with the dress, starting with this little girl.
was about to ask the servant woman of the restaurant to take the two children to take a bath, but Hong Shaoru walked up to the little girl, looked up and down, and the strange uncle's eyes frightened her and shrank behind Lu Qinghou. The former black market doctor took a closer look at the pair of beautiful feet that emerged from the feet of the torn pants, and it was okay! No foot binding. A pair of hands with ten fingers is delicate, but the calluses and wounds on them illustrate the hardships of the owner's life. Hong Shaoru nodded, and asked in a tone that he thought was kind: "Little girl, how old are you?" ”
It is rude to ask the age of a guest in a hurry, and it can even be said to be offensive. Although Lu Qinghou was a little angry, he now wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the Liberation Army to protect himself, and most of these short hairs were like Yangyi, not to mention any male and female defense, there should be no malice. So he replied, "It's seventeen years old." "This is also an indirect expression of dissatisfaction, my wife, what do you ask!
Hong Shaoru sighed: "It's too thin, I need to make up for it!" The others nodded approvingly. Don't talk about seventeen in this way, even the middle school students in the first year of junior high school in the original time and space are stronger than her. Hong Shaoru asked again: "Are you literate?" ”
Lu Qinghou continued to reply: "I have read a few books with my subordinates. ”
"That's good!" Hong Shaoru thought to himself, he finally found a good seedling of a nurse. "Let her raise it for a few days, and when her body is well, let her go to my hospital to help!"
The black market doctor's behavior of "occupying" Lori has attracted the condemnation of others, while Lu Qinghou has the feeling of "just getting out of the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den", so he had to politely refuse: "I am stupid and stupid, I am afraid that I will not be able to learn the profound medical skills of Lord Hong." Besides, he has lived in the countryside since he was a child, and he has never seen much of the world, so if his subordinates are not around, I am afraid he will not be used to it. ”
"It's just that she is a nurse, and she doesn't have to learn any advanced medical skills." Maybe Hong Shaoru didn't hear Lu Qinghou's refusal, maybe he heard it but didn't care, and continued to persuade: "It's to help take care of the patient." And you don't have to be separated, the hospital is also with the district government, except for work, you can be together the rest of the time. ”
At this time, District Chief Qi spoke. "I'm not busy in advance, I'll wait until the lady of the Lu family takes care of her body." The leader spoke, and the people below could only do it. After Lu Qinghou took his family to settle down, Qi Shima said to Hong Shaoru: "You don't have to be so anxious if you want that little girl to be a nurse!" The natives, especially the scholars, were very feudal. Can people rest assured that they will hand over such a young wife to you? I'll talk about this when the al-Qaeda sends a female comrade! "Because Longgang is still a newly occupied area, there is no guarantee of absolute safety, so the management committee did not send women to work. Only after effective rule has been established here can it be safe for female comrades to work.
After advising Hong Shaoru, Qi Shima warned a few other guys who were watching the excitement. "Attention, you guys! Don't forget the seventh of the eight disciplines, beware of being cut off if you commit a crime. ”

At the other end of Longgang Town, the Chen family's mansion.
Chen Shirong, who was fat, sat on the main seat of the hall, listened to the report of the second housekeeper, and said: "You have done a good job, and the twenty taels of silver will reward you!" Then he waved him away. When the second housekeeper walked out of the door, he heard the sound of the tea bowl breaking behind him. The second housekeeper didn't dare to touch the mold, and hurriedly left this place of right and wrong.
