It's dark.

In Chen Village, near the edge of a low and dilapidated thatched wooden house, Chen Laosan preoccupied pushed open the wooden door that emitted "babbling".

A smell of old mildew hit Chen Laosan's nostrils, making him frown even deeper.

In the room, a woman and several children gathered around a low wooden table with no corners.

A dim oil lamp was lit on the wooden table, and the thin porridge and a little side dish on the wooden table were shrouded in the dim light, which was clearly visible.

Chen Laosan knew that none of his wives and children had eaten first, and they were all waiting for him, the head of the family, to come back.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Laosan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Coming back?" Chen Laosan's wife greeted him.

"Yes." Chen Laosan nodded.

"What's wrong?" His wife saw the sad look on Chen Laosan's face, and her heart suddenly tightened and asked.

Chen Laosan didn't answer, he looked at his wife silently, remembering that when his father bought him a dowry and married her, she was so young and moving.

But now, his father has passed away, and his old mother died the year before last because she looked down on her illness, and in a blink of an eye, he also became the father of the child, and in a blink of an eye, his wife was also old, just as old as him.

With a thin body, Chen Laosan knew that it was because his wife had been giving food to himself and his children, so he ate a little bit, and once Chen Laosan also saw that his wife couldn't stand it because she was hungry, so she ran to pick up the bark to eat.

His face was dull and yellow, and Chen Laosan knew that his wife had been in charge of the family for many years, and she was exposed to the sun and rain all day long, and no matter how delicate her skin was, it was only blown away by the rain and wind.

Seeing his wife, Chen Laosan seemed to see the wrinkles on his face like a ravine.

"The ........ of the house" Chen Laosan didn't answer, and his wife looked at him sadly, wondering, and afraid to know.

Chen Laosan sighed, took his wife's rough hand, and came to the dining table, he sat on the only short-legged stool at the dining table, looking at his children in shabby clothes and looking at him with bright eyes, his eyes were moist all of a sudden.

"Master!" Chen Laosan's wife held his hand tightly.

Chen Laosan smiled bitterly and said, "Let's eat first." ”

The children are happy all at once, and the world of children is easy to satisfy.

Chen Laosan's wife was silent, and after a pause, she poured a full bowl of porridge for Chen Laosan, and divided half a bowl of thin porridge for each child, and finally served herself a little porridge.

Chen Laosan looked at his wife's bowl, which was less than one-fifth of his own amount, and was speechless.

But he knew that no matter how sad he was, he had to drink the porridge.

If he doesn't drink, he has no strength, and if he doesn't have the strength, how can he feed this family?

Chen Laosan's wife watched him finish all the porridge before swallowing the porridge slowly. And their children, who had already finished their porridge, were looking at them with blank eyes.

This little porridge is not enough.

Chen Laosan's wife put down the bowl and looked at their children with pity.

She thought for a moment, poured half of the porridge from her bowl into the basin, then added water to dilute it, and poured another full bowl for her child.......

The children laughed happily, and she laughed too.

After eating, the children all went to bed.

She packed up the dishes and chopsticks and followed Chen Laosan to the other side of the house.

"Boss?" She said it again.

Chen Laosan was silent for a while, and said, "The Great Marshal's Mansion has issued an order, saying that a road will be built between our Chen Village and the town, and now it is recruiting people, saying that it is paid." ”

"Yes." She knew that Chen Laosan hadn't finished speaking.

"No one in the village dares to go!" Chen Laosan said.

Last time, the handsome man stole the treasure and forcibly requisitioned the villagers, but he didn't pay a cent of the promised reward, and a few villagers never returned, and their homes were scattered.

"Yes." She looked at him.

Chen Laosan's face showed a look of pain, he took a long breath, and said, "No one in the village went, and the village chief was afraid of attracting the anger of the handsome, so he assigned more than a dozen people to go." ”

Chen Laosan's wife's face showed bitterness, "Boss, you were chosen?" ”

Chen Laosan closed his eyes, nodded silently, and then said, "Chen Da Niu, Chen Ergou brothers, Chen Dan, Chen Ya Dan, Chen Erdan, these people have also been assigned." ”

Chen Laosan's wife is gloomy, and they are all poor households in the village.

People are good and are deceived by others!

Less money and shortness of breath!

After a pause, Chen Laosan's wife held his hand and said with peace of mind, "Be in charge, I am at home, just be careful." ”

Chen Laosan looked at his wife, his eyes were moist again, and he shook his head, "Autumn is coming, I'm worried about the acres of rice outside the village." ”

"I'll collect it!" Chen Laosan's wife said heavily.

Chen Laosan looked at his wife and was silent for a long time.

"It's been so many years, I've suffered you!"

Chen Laosan's wife's face moved silently, and she couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing.

Early the next morning, Chen Laosan ate breakfast prepared by his wife, who got up earlier, and came to the former security team yamen in the village, where the township office is now located.

Chen Daniu: They have already arrived.

In the township office, they waited for a while, and then they saw a group of men in light green military uniforms, with a large push of things, walking in.

The former security team leader, the current director of the township office, was the first to step forward with his soldiers and salute the person at the head.

Chen Laosan and the others also hurriedly saluted the man.

The man waved his hand and motioned for them to put it down.

When he saw Chen Laosan's thin appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and asked his subordinates to lift the black cloth on the basket they brought, and suddenly a basket of white steamed buns came into Chen Laosan's eyes.

Chen Laosan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his stomach rumbled.

"Lord Huang Sheng ordered that each person take three steamed buns for breakfast." The man in the light green military uniform said.

Chen Laosan and the others still cowered, and they didn't dare to step forward one by one.

The man in the light green military uniform was led by an impatient frown, with a tendency to get angry.

When the director of the township office saw it, he immediately shouted at them, "Don't hurry up and take it!" Is it a waste of our time? ”

The man in light green military uniform was Xiao Bu, who was removed from the position of military and political officer by Huang Sheng and turned into the director of the Public Security Bureau.

After seeing Chen Laosan and the others step forward one by one to get the white steamed buns, he frowned and nodded secretly.

No way, he didn't want to come if it was possible.

He would rather sleep at home with that vixen in his arms, saying that her sucking power is getting stronger and stronger, and she will almost make him lose his armor in a few times.

When Xiaobu rode on top of her, he often asked her, is he powerful, or is he handsome?

She always gave him a charming look, and said coquettishly, he is the best!

It's just that Xiaobu doesn't know, the person under the crotch he asked, but occasionally he remembers that in the Marshal's Mansion, the man who is often expressionless.

It's a pity that Huang Sheng gave the order, and he had to come.

Chen Laosan stepped forward to get his share of the white steamed bun relatively late, and happened to see Chen Erdan from the same village, as soon as he got the white steamed bun, he gobbled it straight into his mouth, like a starving ghost reincarnated, and accidentally bit his tongue and screamed in pain, causing all the adults on the field to laugh, and the atmosphere was a lot more cheerful for a while.

Chen Laosan, who is married and has children, is much calmer than Chen Erdan, who is still playing singles, he got the steamed buns, first put two close to his body, and felt the heat in his heart, so he chewed the white steamed buns slowly and methodically.

As soon as the warm and soft steamed bun entered his mouth, Chen Laosan's eyes moistened again, how many years, how many years, he had never eaten such fragrant food. He wanted to take one bite at a time, savoring the taste slowly.

It's just that Chen Laosan's wish is destined not to be satisfied.

Xiaobu looked at the villagers eating steamed buns on the field, frowned again, and then pointed at Chen Laosan and said, "You, what about you!" Like a, don't eat quickly, want to be lazy and don't work! ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, the honest man Chen Laosan definitely does not have this kind of thought.

He hurriedly swallowed the white steamed bun that was still half left in his hand and swallowed it into his stomach, which made Xiaobu feel satisfied and put his head away.

As for the two steamed buns in Chen Laosan's arms, he didn't plan to eat them.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After breakfast, Chen Laosan and his group received a shovel, and then under the leadership of a group of craftsmen, they drove to the predetermined road repair site.

The craftsmen determined the road surface, and Chen Laosan and the others, under the command of the craftsmen, wielded their strength to level the road surface and tidy up the roadbed.

Time passed little by little in the ticking of sweat.

At noon, in Chen Laosan's thousands of calls, it finally arrived.

A morning of physical activity made Chen Laosan so hungry that his chest stepped back.

Chen Laosan suspected that if he didn't add something, he would faint from hunger.

Several times, Chen Laosan almost couldn't help but want to take out the sticky steamed buns in his arms and eat them, but in the end he held back.

Chen Daniu and the others were the same, they were all starved by heavy physical work, but no one dared to stop.

Because the soldiers in light green military uniforms with guns were walking around from time to time.

Finally, a "dang dang dang" sound came, followed by a "stop work!" Ready to eat! ”

When they heard the "shutdown", Chen Laosan was excited, the shovel in his hand was dropped, and he couldn't wait to go home to add some food.

When they heard the next sentence "ready to eat", everyone was stunned.

"Is there really anything to eat?" Chen Ergou muttered to himself.

Chen Laosan also took care of him, because he was also watching.

It didn't take long for him to see several women carrying several large iron basins, one containing sticky white rice porridge, one containing fried pork with shiny green vegetables, and the other with egg soup.

"So there's something to eat!" Chen Laosan was still in disbelief.

When will Xu Dashuai of Xujia Town have such a good intention.

It wasn't until the words of the small layout chief that they were called back to their senses.

"What are you doing! Don't hurry up yet! ”

Chen Laosan followed the team blankly, lined up to receive the food and soup, and then found a shady place to sit down, picked up a piece of pork, and put a meal in his mouth and a bite.

The taste of pork echoes in your mouth!

Chen Laosan's eyes immediately moistened.

He took a sip of the thin egg soup, salty, salty, salty.

Chen Laosan's tears flowed down.

"Oh my God, are you open?" Chen Laosan shouted wordlessly in his heart.
