506 War years 9
Chen Bin frowned: "Be quiet, smile and rest." Who rules that big men can't cook? ”
Su Qiang persuaded in a tone of hatred that iron does not become steel: "Whose man entered the kitchen?" Housework is not all done by women, and you can't get used to the daughter-in-law at home. ”
Chen Bin loosened his brows: "I don't have a habitual daughter-in-law, she is tired during the day, I only cook, she usually cooks, and it is normal for me to do it once in a while." ”
Su Qiang wanted to continue, but Chen Bin asked him to borrow salt under the pretext that there was no salt at home, so he returned to the house.
After Chen Bin left, he quietly prepared the meal and brought it into the house, ready to call Lin Xiaoxiao to eat.
"What did you say to the next door?" Lin Xiaoxiao was lying in the house and heard a faint sound of talking outside.
"I didn't say anything, he was too idle, stay away from the next door in the future." Chen Bin couldn't change Su Qiang's thoughts, so he could only let Lin Xiaoxiao stay away from him.
"What did he say that you didn't like?"
"He said that men should not cook, and that housework is a woman's business." When Chen Bin said this, he was sad for Su Qiang's daughter-in-law, she did all the work inside and outside the house, and she couldn't please her, Su Qiang didn't thank her daughter-in-law for her dedication to the family, and took all this for granted.
"He will be born decades late, and it is estimated that he will be single for a lifetime." Lin Xiaoxiao sighed.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to eat the pimple soup after eating a few bites, so she asked Chen Bin to finish the rest.
"I don't eat it, leave a bowl to send to the second egg, that child is also a poor baby." The second egg that Chen Bin said is a stray baby.
"You go early and come back early." Lin Xiaoxiao also knows that Erdan, a poor baby.
Erdan's parents are gone, and his relatives are only concerned about seizing the house and land left by his parents, and are unwilling to adopt him. None of his own relatives were willing to adopt him, and the people in the village would not adopt him.
If this is a good year, many people are willing to adopt a boy to go home to inherit the lineage, but now that there are wars from time to time, I don't know how long I will live, who is willing to raise a child who is not related to the family. In the past few years, the year has not been good, there is no natural disaster, the grain in the field is not much, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain, who dares to raise an extra child who can not work without food.
Seeing that he was about to be reduced to beggars, the troops suddenly appeared and chose to camp here. Although the regiment commander repeatedly stated that it would not affect the lives of the villagers, the location of the garrison was also chosen on an uninhabited hillside, and the cave was either used to pick up abandoned ones, or build them by themselves.
The people in the village don't know the situation of the troops, and if the political commissar sends someone to appease them, there will still be people who are worried, and those with bad intentions will secretly carry the second egg out.
Erdan is a child no matter how sensible he is, and he is still a child who wants to live hungry, he heard that the army is in charge of eating, and he doesn't care about 3721, so he found the political commissar and hugged his thigh and wanted to be a soldier.
How can the political commissar accept a child less than ten years old, he refused the request of the second egg, who knew that the child stopped the political commissar from letting him go, and said that he would starve to death if he was not a soldier, he knew that the war would kill people, but he was willing, and only begged to eat for a few days before dying.
When a child who has not grown up says this, the political commissar can't bear it, and the other people on the side look uncomfortable. The political commissar asked him to go to the village to inquire about Erdan's situation, and he took Erdan's hand and chatted.
Erdan was still a child, and after chatting with the political commissar for only ten minutes, he confided everything, and stupidly asked the troops if they could eat white-flour steamed buns.
The political commissar knew that Erdan was an orphan, so he didn't care about the bad people behind him, but promised to take care of Erdan's food, but he couldn't be a soldier, he wasn't old enough. Erdan is in a hurry, he can't eat in the canteen unless he is not a soldier, and he can work even if he is small.
There are thousands of people in the group, and one person can let the child eat enough if he saves a mouthful, where do you need a small person to work, but the second egg does not listen to persuasion, and he has to insist on this.
The political commissar had no choice but to take the little bit of Erdan, and at his insistence, he agreed to stay in the army to work, but he could not enlist until he was sixteen years old, and before that he could only help in the cooking class.
Erdan naturally stayed, ate and lived with the soldiers, and after a long time, he also became a favorite of everyone in the regiment, and everyone liked to say a few words to him when he saw him.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Erdan have few opportunities to talk, she rarely goes to the canteen to eat, she cooks at home by herself, but Chen Bin can see Erdan every day, and after getting acquainted, he also has some good things, and he will give Erdan a little bit.
"Erdan, come out quickly." Chen Bin stood outside the window and shouted.
Erdan ran out when he heard the voice, and no matter who shouted at him, he responded positively.
"Brother Chen." Erdan wanted to call Uncle Chen Bin, but Chen Bin insisted that he call him brother, saying that Uncle called him old, he didn't even have children, and he was obviously very young.
"Erdan, you drink this bowl of pimple soup while it's hot." Chen Bin handed the bowl out in his hand, and he wanted to watch the second egg finish drinking.
"Brother Chen, you go back first, and I'll send you the bowl back after drinking."
"I'll wait for you to finish." Chen Bin was afraid that some older children in the village would come to Erdan to grab his things to eat, especially Erdan's cousins.
Erdan said that he ate and lived with everyone, but the small cave where he lived was left by his father, and he was reluctant to live in this place. Seeing that the cave was between the army and the village, and that it was still a little far from the village, the political commissar agreed to let him live alone.
This is the property of Erdan's family, and there is no danger in ordinary times, so the political commissar did not arrange for others to live with Erdan, and he was afraid that the villagers would misunderstand that they wanted to seize Erdan's property. The political commissar of the house he occupied did not ask for him to come back, but only sent a message to the village chief that the house would come back by himself when the second egg was eighteen years old.
When the village chief received this, he transferred the message to a few relatives of the Erdan family, and he didn't care about the rest, and he didn't take advantage of it, so he didn't want to care about these things.
The political commissar is not good for the property of the Erdan family, but the children in the village snatch the rations of the Erdan, but he manages it above board. Erdan is now eating the army's food, whether he can eat enough is the responsibility of the army, the children in the village robbed him of his rations, no matter how reasonable this matter is, they are wrong, and the village chief has no face to speak for them.
The village chief scolded a few children who bullied the second egg with a black face in front of the political commissar, and then asked their parents to take it back and teach them a good lesson.
The political commissar had no opinion on the village chief's handling, and forcibly dragged the village chief to have a meal in the regiment, and only after the exchange deepened the feelings between the military and the people did he let the old village chief go home.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, they don't dare to come over again, the political commissar and the village chief have said this." Erdan confessed very honestly.
"Okay, don't worry about it, eat it quickly." Chen Bin was worried that others would see the contents of the pimple soup, so he had to stare at the second egg and drink too much. When he cooked it, he put shiitake mushrooms and added lard, so that others could see that he was afraid of causing trouble, that is, he was not afraid of giving two eggs.
This kid has a tight mouth, tell him not to say it, he really won't say it.
