"Roar. Of course I know. "I want to hear your opinion on this." ”

"What can a woman's family think about national affairs, and the government can do whatever it says." Aunt Xiong said perfunctorily.

"Official? Hum! Xiong Laoqi sneered.

"Yes, I heard that County Magistrate Zhu has issued a notice." Aunt Xiong said seriously.

This sentence gave Xiong Laoqi an army. He also took into account that they did not issue orders in their own name to implement rent and interest reductions, but brought out Zhu Mingyuan, the nephew of Zhu Aizhou, the old county magistrate of the Kuomintang, and issued a proclamation on rent and interest reduction in the name of the Ganyu Democratic County Government. In this way, not only did they end up justifiably, but they could not be labeled as sabotaging the reunification war of resistance.

"His aunt invited you today to talk about that account." Xiong Laoqi's words began to get to the point. He glanced at Zhang Xiaoer, the dog-legged son, and said slowly, "Second son, you check, when will his aunt's debt expire?" ”

Zhang Xiaoer answered and took out a notepad from his pocket. He made a summary of the Xiong family's debts and brought them with him, in case Xiong Laoqi consulted at any time. At this time, he flipped to the Xiong family, glanced at it, and replied: "If you go back to the seventh master, her family's debt will be due in another month and a half." ”

"Meet." Xiong Laoqi replied, turned his face to look at Aunt Xiong and asked, "Aunt He, how are you doing at hand?" Maybe it's tight, right? ”

"Seventh Master," Aunt Xiong reluctantly called out, and said calmly, "The small family is an orphan and a widow, what year and month can they earn a good fortune?" My mother and son always keep this debt in mind, they don't eat in their mouths, and they also save some money, and if they manage it, they may be able to make do with most of it. ”

"Ahh Xiong Laoqi was a little disappointed, he didn't expect that this stubborn mother and son had saved some money hard, but they were insightful women. This put his first move in danger of failing, and he groaned for a moment, and then slowly continued, "Actually, there is no need to be in such a hurry, I just ask casually." The three generations of our two families are the host and guest relationship, and things are always easy to accommodate. ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the Seventh Master, debts always have to be repaid. This year's wheat harvest is good, and it may be a relief. ”

As soon as Aunt Xiong mentioned the wheat harvest, Xiong Laoqi's heart twitched sharply. He suddenly realized that perhaps it was because of the additional income from rent and interest reduction that this poor ghost could pay off his debts, and the Eighth Route Army had greatly won over the people on this issue, including those who still held a certain degree of orthodoxy.

Xiong Laoqi stood up, cut his hands back, paced back and forth for a few steps, suddenly stood still, and said in a sudden and indisputable tone at Aunt Xiong: "Hehe," Xiong Laoqi sneered twice, and said with a little lesson, "Auntie, this national event is not as complicated as our people's family life." ”

"This ......"

Xiong Laoqi took two steps forward and put on a considerate appearance, "In the past, ** and the national government were mortal enemies, and they fought for more than ten years. The devils drove into China, and Chairman Chiang did not remember old grudges, forgave them, and promised to cooperate with them in the fight against Japan. But ** is too unfaithful, on the surface obeying the jurisdiction of the national government, and doing their way behind the scenes. You see, I've only been in Ganyu for a few days, and I've come up with some rent reduction and interest reduction. ”

"! What the hell to reduce rent and interest. Zhang Xiaoer helped on the side, "Killing people to pay for their lives, borrowing to repay debts, there have been clear teachings since ancient times." If you instigate others to do such unconscionable things, other people's flesh will grow on you. ”

"Really. No one else's flesh will grow on one's own body. Xiong Laoqi was very satisfied with the timely help of the dog's legs, turned around, and sat back on the chair, with his right leg on his left leg.

"Is this all about sowing discord between us!" Zhang Xiaoer patted his ass.

Xiong Laoqi then said: "Not bad! The tenant is divided in half, and the silver is divided into three profits, these are the old rules for thousands of years. But they want to break these old rules, which will provoke the anger of the heavens. ”

"Yes! **It's too self-sufficient, they didn't open their eyes to see, whose world is Ganyu and the four sides of the world now? The four circles are all Japanese troops, if we are forced to go to Liangshan and throw ourselves to the Japanese, will the Eighth Route Army be able to stand? The so-called democratic county magistrate Zhu Mingyuan also had to follow the others. Zhang Xiaoer was patting again.

Aunt Xiong listened silently, and some of her original worries couldn't help but churn. So he said in his heart: "Since we have been in contact with Luo Ronghuan, Zhu Rui, Chen Guang, Chen Shiyu, and Xiao Hua, we have supported the Eighth Route Army from the bottom of our hearts; They are tough guys who fight devils, they are good at doing crop work, and their words and actions are closely related to the poor masters. ”

Xiong Laoqi looked at Aunt Xiong and didn't speak, and his heart was proud.

Aunt Xiong thought again: "However, we are always worried about them, they are indeed too hard to do things, just plan for the poor masters, and do not care about their own interests. If a 'foreigner' has not taken root and his wings have not grown hard, if he offends these local snakes too much, can he deal with them? Will it suffer? Now through Xiong Laoqi's words, the original concerns are even heavier. ”

Xiong Laoqi seemed to be aware of Aunt Xiong's thoughts, and said slowly; "Actually, I don't object to the **Eighth Route Army, they have a kind of devil, they speak kindly, the trade is fair, and the soldiers are also very disciplined, but some things are too unreasonable. At present, when the national crisis is at hand, we should work together to fight the devils, why should we provoke the villagers to disharmony? It's so undeserved! ”

Aunt Xiong had no intention of listening to Xiong Laoqi's lies at this time, she was deeply anxious about the difficult situation of the Eighth Route Army, there was no wind and no waves, Xiong Laoqi's words were not for no reason. He has always had dealings with those devils, traitors and wealthy people, and he knows their movements, maybe those damn guys are thinking about plotting against the Eighth Route Army.

"I think Fang Wen is a talent." Xiong Laoqi suddenly came up with such a sentence.

"It's not just a material for part-time work!"

"You can't say that." Xiong Laoqi shook his head and put on a serious appearance, "What you need to be a soldier to fight is a lot of energy." ”

Aunt Xiong couldn't help but be stunned, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xiong Laoqi was not in a hurry to continue, he pressed a bag of cigarettes unhurriedly, snorted for a while, and said while shaking off the flame paper medium: "I see that Fang Wen is very close to the Eighth Route Army, they like him very much, right?" ”

The eldest lady looked at Xiong Laoqi and did not say anything clearly.

"Aunt He," Xiong Laoqi's eyes flashed with a sinister and mysterious brilliance, staring at Aunt Xiong, and asked slyly, "Why do you say that ** is in a hurry to reduce rent and interest?" ”

Aunt Xiong was still silent, but she was sensitive to the fact that Xiong Laoqi was about to ask a serious question.

Xiong Laoqi sat steadily, put on an old-fashioned posture, and said confidently: "These outsiders of the Eighth Route Army are not the same surname as our Ganyu people, and the other are not related to each other, why are you so arrogant?" They knew that they couldn't stand on the coast, so they took advantage of this wheat harvest to reduce rent and interest to give everyone a little sweetness, and then they mobilized young people to serve as soldiers and dragged back to Shanxi to fight guerrillas. ”

"The Seventh Master has high insights and is clever." Zhang Xiaoer nodded again and again, "It's really to the point, when it comes to the heart of the Eighth Route Army." ”

Xiong Laoqi blinked, and pretended to be regretful and said: "Actually, these are all some words of right and wrong, if the ** Eighth Route Army knows, they will say that we are playing right and wrong behind our backs and destroying the united front of the Anti-Japanese War!" Maybe they'll get me in trouble. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, so they won't go out. It's hard to be a man these days, right and wrong are just to speak more, and the troubles are all because of the strong head, but you must be cautious and careful in speaking and acting. ”

Aunt Xiong was still silent, but her white head slowly drooped.

"A good man has ambitions in all directions." Xiong Laoqi pushed the hookah in front of him, stood up vigorously, and said in an excited tone, "Xiang Fangwen's group of young people should go out for a while, they are young and promising, and they have a bright future, and they must be better than us old people who stick to the countryside." ”

"What a good boy! But ......" Zhang Xiaoer pretended to be worried.

"Our big koala family has never produced a famous military figure for generations, so let Fang Wen and them open the way." When Xiong Laoqi said this, he glanced at Aunt Xiong, and then changed to a tone of pity and said, "It's just that you, alone, will inevitably be more bitter." ”

Zhang Xiaoer, a dog-legged man, watched the wind and sailed the boat, picked it up and said: "Young people travel all over the world to earn a good future, one is to add glory to their ancestors, and the other is to bless their descendants, and the neighbors and their own family are also stained with TOEFL, which is a great thing." However, in this chaotic year, you have to exchange your life for this business. Brother Fang Wen is single-branched, I'm afraid it's not suitable, right? ”

Xiong Laoqi knocked on the corner of his forehead, and said with an apologetic smile: "The second son is right. In the end, they are not biological parents, and it is not always so thoughtful to think about things. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, which is also a big deal. Cough! It's really hard to be loyal and filial. ”

Aunt Xiong was in a disordered mood and didn't want to listen to the master and servant anymore, so she asked Xiong Laoqi, "Do you have anything else?" ”

"Hmm-" Xiong Laoqi groaned for a moment, and said with a false smile, "Please come and chat, I didn't expect to talk about it for a while." Actually, I don't mean anything else, I just say that you have to have an opinion to start a business. As the saying goes, a good dog protects the three families, so why kill each other! There is no need to rush that account, and I am not in a hurry to wait for the money at the moment. ”

Aunt Xiong didn't answer Xiong Laoqi again, Gu Zi lifted the bamboo curtain and walked out.
