Luo Hongyi came back to his senses, he knew the truth that he knew that the other side could win all battles, so he asked Aunt Li: "Auntie, can you tell me what happened to my fourth brother's future daughter-in-law and her mother's family?" ”

"Yes, everyone in our village knows about this." Speaking of this, Aunt Li's spirits are lifted, mainly because their village is not big and closed, and there are too few new things that usually happen, so whenever something happens, each family will love to inquire. In such a big tofu place, what can you resist asking? So when something happens to someone's house, can other families not follow the door?

"Cough--" cleared her throat, Aunt Li first showed a habitual look of schadenfreude, but half of that expression was revealed and immediately realized that what she was going to say was the gossip of the Luo family, thinking that after all, it was Luo Hongyi's parents and younger brother, it was really inappropriate for her to be like this, so she quickly "coughed" twice, adjusted her expression before opening her mouth: "Your mother must have written to tell you about your brother's marriage before, right?" ”

"Yes, yes. I had a hunch that I might not be able to come back in time for his wedding, so I sent them two hundred yuan as a gift. ”

Even if he was sitting in the slightly dim hall of the farmhouse, Luo Hongyi still habitually kept his waist straight, and he specially added with a guilty face: "It's the same as when I married my eldest brother and second sister, you can't favor one over the other." I'm ashamed to say that my monthly allowance is also limited, that's all. Although I don't have to pay for my own food in the army, except for the monthly mail back to my family, I still have to deal with the entertainment between my comrades-in-arms. ”

He said helplessly: "In addition to the entertainment between peers, I also have to invite my soldiers to fight from time to time." How can I bear to ask them to pay out of their pockets when I eat with them? I myself have climbed up from the bottom, and I know best that their hard work is not easy. They have even fewer allowances, most of them are peasant children like me, and the money they have is not enough to buy extra snacks to make up for their stomachs. Auntie, don't you know how intense our usual training is? There are quite a few self-motivated fighters who will train themselves in addition to normal training. To say that the food in the army is good, and the amount is sufficient, but we can't bear to train and the stomach is like a bottomless pit, how can we not fill it. ”

"Being out there is not a lot of money to spend on. You can understand that you have your difficulties. But you say the appetite of those soldiers is a bottomless pit? Are they really as edible as you say? Aunt Li first nodded in understanding, and then felt that it was fresh to listen to and couldn't help but smile and asked.

"Isn't it edible? They can stuff more than a dozen meat buns and steamed buns bigger than a fist without blinking. It's all the age of half the size of the child who eats the poor old man, if he didn't move much in his own house, he would be able to eat the top one, let alone in the army, running and jumping all day long, so can he still have a good appetite? Luo Hongyi nodded thoughtfully, and said a little shyly, "When I first enlisted in the army in the past, sometimes I couldn't sleep at night when I was hungry after training myself, and I hated to gnaw on the quilt." That's why I don't want my soldiers to experience that kind of hardship any more. ”

"Alas. It's not easy for you, you're a kind-hearted kid when you're young, you can endure hardships and losses, who will go up if you don't go up? By the way, what kind of official are you now? Aunt Li sighed and inquired curiously.

"Commander." Luo Hongyi laughed lightly at Aunt Li's praise and did not deny it.

"Commander? Pretty big, right? "How does Aunt Li know the division of positions in the army? Listening to it, it's a little confusing.

"It's not too big, and the position of the army is a bit useful in your own army, and others may not admit it when you come out. But there are still advantages, and after I marry my daughter-in-law, I can at least ask my daughter-in-law to join the army. "What Luo Hongyi said is light and light.

"The county magistrate might as well be in charge now, isn't this all the same? It's like the director of the village committee of Baoping Village can't manage Yanggouzi Village. Naturally, the officers of your troops only need to be recognized by the troops. If you want to say Hongyi, it's amazing that you can be a regiment leader at a young age. ”

Aunt Li nodded, she never figured out whether Luo Hongyi was really great to be the head of the regiment at this age? Anyway, she thinks that there must be nothing wrong with her boasting like this, everyone is willing to listen to good words, right?

"Ah, before you said that your brother and sister were when they got married. And this time, your mother told you that your brother is going to get married, and you sent them back 200 yuan as a gift? Aunt Li suddenly wanted to go to this stubble and asked.

"yes, what's wrong? I already gave a lot more according to the brothers and sisters outside, and I thought that two hundred yuan was enough? Could it be that I haven't inquired about these things when I come back occasionally over the years, and I don't know if the gift money in our village is already higher than that of the big cities outside? Luo Hongyi pretended to be surprised and asked rhetorically, but in fact, he was not at all surprised about where the money went.

"No, no, two hundred yuan, how can it be enough? It's enough to buy large items, whose brothers and sisters are we so arrogant? Her eyes were a little weird, and she looked at Luo Hongyi sympathetically, "You probably gave all this money to your mother, right?" Could it be that she didn't make it clear that she thought it was for her? They don't seem to know about your brother and sister......"

"Won't it?"

Luo Hongyi was even more "surprised": "I said when I wrote the letter that when I remitted the money, I specially remarked it on the remittance slip very clearly, and the money was the congratulatory gift money specially given to them?" I also specifically mentioned that my mother should give the money to my brother and my sister to keep it themselves. Especially my sister, in order to make her more confident in marrying, I also found someone to get a bicycle ticket, and sent an extra money to buy a car, thinking that if I could accompany her more bicycle, it would be convenient for her to ride back to her parents' house in the future, and it would not be so hard. ”

"You really have a heart, your second sister is really blessed to have a brother like you. It's a pity ......," Aunt Li shook her head, "It's a pity that your efforts have been wasted." That bicycle ended up being your sister-in-law's, alas, your mother's patriarchal is too powerful. If your second sister hadn't been so powerful, she would have been eaten, and there would be no bones left. ”

"My mom actually gave my sister-in-law the bike?" Luo Hongyi frowned.
