Chapter 27: Little Mengbao
The two warriors looked at each other, hesitated and did not speak.
The smile on Su Xintang's face disappeared: "His injuries have worsened?" Is it badly injured? ”
"No, he's fine now."
The two soldiers seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Actually, before we came over, the platoon commander had just undergone orthopedic surgery, and he was still in the recovery period, and it was expected that he would not be able to hold a gun in a short time." ”
Su Xintang's heart sank a little, and he sat down on the stool all of a sudden.
Even the two fighters took their leave and left.
In his previous life, Ah Fei's hand was good and not injured, but the scar on his left eyebrow accompanied him for the rest of his life. Even later, when science and technology developed, he never thought of using surgery to remove it, according to him, it was a souvenir left to him by the years.
Wrong!
Su Xintang suddenly thought of another question, even the scar on his left eyebrow in his previous life, and she asked him again and again before he said a few words, could his left hand also be injured? It's just that she didn't know about it?
With a nervous mood, taking advantage of the rain on this day, it was rare for the village not to have to go to work, Su Xintang went out with an umbrella.
The direction she went to was very clear, that is, the other side of riding Longpo - Ah Fei's eldest sister's house.
The reason why she met and fell in love with Ah Fei in her previous life was because Ah Fei's eldest sister Xiao Tianye met from it.
Over the mountain beam, in the distance, she saw Xiao Tianye's only son, Xiang Maomao, grazing cattle in the rain.
Xiang Maomao is a nickname, and his real name is Xiang Rong. The cattle in this year were all cattle from the collective production team, and they were handed over to each family in the team to take turns to graze. Xiang Maomao was very thin, like a little hairy monkey, he was dirty and didn't know where he fell, and the pants with several patches were also torn a hole, leading the big buffalo that was taller than him at all, carrying a basket full of grass, shouting at the cow to drive back in the rain.
As if he had found her standing outside the door of Xiang's house with an umbrella, he stood still, looking at her timidly and vigilantly.
"Xiang Maomao."
Su Xintang showed him a smile that he thought was warm.
Xiang Maomao was so frightened that he jumped up, and kept retreating until he reached the big buffalo, and then hurriedly ducked behind the cow.
"I, my family, really don't have any money. If you're looking for it, just look for my dad! ”
Dare Qing treats her as a debtor.
Speaking of which, Xiao Tianye is also a hard-working person, he went early at a young age in his previous life, and he didn't even enjoy a good day.
Su Xintang will meet her, also because Xiao Tianye married a gambler husband, not to mention the loss of the whole family, and he is still in debt. The first time she met Xiao Tianye, they met in the commune health center. That was the day when her only son had a high fever but had no money for treatment, so she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the doctor, and even her forehead was broken.
At that time, she was very touched.
Later, she reached out to help, but it was too late after all, and the child was not rescued in time due to a long period of high fever, and finally caused meningitis and became a fool. I was stupid all day long, except for eating and sleeping, I couldn't even do the most basic cooking and laundry.
Looking at Xiang Maomao, who was jumping around now, Su Xintang hurriedly beckoned to him: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to ask for debts, it's your uncle who asked me to come over to see if you're doing well." Where's your mother? ”
Uncle?
As soon as I heard these two words, Xiang Maomao's eyes lit up instantly!
The big black and white eyes, flashing with eager anticipation, threw away the morning glory rope, rushed to Su Xintang, wanted to reach out to pull Su Xintang's clothes, and saw his dirty little hands, and hurriedly withdrew his hands and put them behind him: "You, really my uncle asked you to come?" ”
The child is weak in defense, and a word makes him lower his vigilance.
Of course, Su Xintang also knew in his heart that Ah Fei's sister and brother had a very good relationship, and Xiao Tianye must have mentioned Ah Fei in front of Xiang Maomao, so Xiang Maomao was excited when she heard that her uncle asked her to come over.
"Of course it's true. Your uncle is worried about you and your mother, so let me come and have a look. ”
She replied with a smile, took out a white rabbit toffee from her arms, peeled off the candy paper, and fed it into the mouth of the little hairy monkey: "Come, taste it, and see if this candy is delicious?" ”
This White Rabbit toffee was brought out by her from home, and she couldn't find a place to buy it in the countryside. In this era of scarcity of materials, the temptation of this milk candy is very great, at least, it can be seen from the big eyes of the little hairy monkey that squinted instantly.
The sweet milky fragrance spread in the mouth, stimulating the taste buds, and saliva surged out, making Xiang Maomao hurriedly close his mouth, wrapping the source of sweetness and not daring to speak.
It's really sweet and fragrant......
Xiang Maomao has never eaten such delicious toffee, and he doesn't know that the taste of sugar is so sweet.
He ate with relish, not daring to chew, just sipping carefully.
Su Xintang didn't urge him, but silently stuffed all the toffee he brought into his pocket, took his little hand, and walked to his house: "Take it back, hide it, don't be discovered." Take it out when you want to eat it. You know? ”
"Uh-huh......!"
He nodded vigorously, his eyes narrowing with joy.
Xiang's family is very poor, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a family with four walls.
The reason why Xiao Tianye married her current husband Xiang Hong was also to repay the kindness of her father. Unexpectedly, he sent himself into the fire pit. Xiang Hong is a good gambler, not only does he not work in the field to earn work to support his wife and children, but he is idle all day long, gathering people to gamble, and gambling more and more, and losing nine out of ten bets, and it didn't take long for the family property to be white.
Xiao Tianye is very strong, but even if she works hard day and night, she can't match the speed of that man's defeat.
Xiang Hong is not only good at gambling, but also good at drinking, and when he gets drunk, he will beat people, and Xiao Tianye was not beaten by him.
In this case, the young Xiang Maomao has suffered a lot since he was a child.
"Xiang Maomao, where did your mother go?"
Su Xintang looked around, but didn't find Xiao Tianye's figure, and couldn't help asking.
It's raining outside, and the rain isn't small, so where will it go if children go out to herd cattle and adults aren't at home?
"Mom, she...... Went to ...... Over the creek. ”
Afraid that the toffee in his mouth would fall out, the little hairy monkey spoke carefully.
It's raining right now, and on rainy days, fish swim out of the stream. At this time, you can catch a lot of fish and shrimp by the canal. Of course, the water quality is good this year, and there are many fish and shrimp in the water, even if you can't catch big fish, there is no shortage of small fish and shrimp.
"To Maomao!"
Su Xintang was about to speak, when there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a thin figure rushed under the eaves from the rain.
