Chapter 594: The Days of Zhang Qingshan's Absence (Part II)
"Lao Wang, you ......"
Before Zhou Baoyu's words were finished, he was pulled by Xiang Xueqin. Then, when he saw Xiang Xueqin, he walked over and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, you bring such good things every time you come, how can you embarrass me?"
If you don't say it, the present world newspaper!
Lao Wang just dismantled Zhou Baoyu's platform, and now it is Zhou Baoyu's turn to fight back.
No, he was just about to brag, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Zhou Baoyu say with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't take this favor to him." In the past, he sent them, and they were all sent by us in a surprise company, and they were not his things. And this leg of mutton was not sent by our surprise attack, nor was it sent by Lao Wang......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Baoyu deliberately paused. After everyone's eyes looked at it, he revealed the mystery: "This was sent by our head of the regiment." ”
Immediately, without waiting for others to speak, Zhou Baoyu hurriedly added: "The head of the regiment said that he was too busy these days to come and visit you, so he had to ask us to send it together." ”
Don't look at Tian Jingshan's previous careful calculations, and Zhang Qingshan was given the nickname of Tian Papi, which shows how stingy he is, but since Zhang Qingshan was sent to Yan'an to study, Tian Jingshan has sent food to Xiang Xueqin every once in a while, just one sentence, "Xiao Zhang's children can't be wronged at all." Xiang Xueqin was moved, but also very proud to have a husband like Zhang Qingshan, although she was also unkind to this favor, she firmly remembered it in her heart.
And Zhou Baoyu's side is not over yet.
While taking out a large handful of wild onions from the cloth satchel, he handed them to Sister Chen beside him, and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, the regiment commander knows that you can't stand the smell, so when he led the troops to train, he personally went to the mountains to pick a large handful of wild onions for you, saying that this thing is the most effective in removing the smell." ”
Sister Chen never expected that there was such a thing here, and she immediately blushed, but the sisters around her laughed one after another, making her go even more, and it was not okay to stay...... One gift, but two favors. It can be seen that Tian Jingshan's careful calculation is really powerful.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Chen, look, it's better for us to eat dumplings at night, or do we have hot pot?" Zhou Baoyu was really clever, and after seeing that the effect was achieved, he hurriedly added...... The conscience of heaven and earth, he had to do so. When he came, Tian Jingshan gave thousands of instructions, and also directly threatened, that is, Zhou Baoyu wanted to carefully observe Sister Chen's attitude towards this leg of mutton, so that he could continue to strengthen the relationship between the two in the future, so Zhou Baoyu had to do this, otherwise, he would not be able to make a difference when he went back.
Sister Chen suddenly couldn't make a sound.
Fortunately, Zhou Baoyu asked this together with Xiang Xueqin, if she asked it alone, I am afraid that Sister Chen would be annoyed and angry, but now she has an object to shirk: "This is Xiao Xiang's home, I came to see Xiao Xiang, I am a guest, and naturally I am a guest." ”
Everyone knows who Zhou Baoyu is asking about, and they also understand who is asking behind this question, including Xiang Xueqin.
Seeing Sister Chen say this, Xiang Xueqin couldn't watch the excitement anymore, and hurriedly spoke: "Our sisters haven't been together for a long time, and we haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. ”
At this moment, he saw that the door was opened, and Liu Bing said with a smile while carrying a bag of grain: "Sister-in-law, I also want to eat mutton dumplings and fish hot pot." ”
"Brother Liu, why did you break the bank again, I'm ......"
"This is not my alone, but our comrades from the entire battalion paid for it together. Liu Bing put the bag of rice in the corner of the side, straightened up and said with a smile: "Today's rest, wandering on the street with my comrades, I saw someone selling rice, and the comrades said that sister-in-law, you are a southerner, and you must not be used to eating the buns here, and now you are pregnant, you can't suffer, so everyone pooled money to buy it and sent me as a representative to send it to you." ”
Liu Bing is now the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 47th Regiment, and some of the comrades of the original First Company of the Long March are now his soldiers.
And Xiang Xueqin knows that people are not giving themselves face, but giving Zhang Qingshan face. After all, when Zhang Qingshan was in the water meadow, he saved many people, including Liu Bing and some veterans under him. People also have a conscience, usually Zhang Qingshan doesn't need anything, and they can't express their gratitude to Zhang Qingshan, but now they have a chance: Zhang Qingshan was sent to Yan'an to study, and Xiang Xueqin is pregnant, so they also pooled money from time to time to get some nutritional products and other things to send over. And this is also a favor, Xiang Xueqin is not easy to refuse, so she has to keep it in her heart and wait for Zhang Qingshan to return this favor after she comes back...... In other words, since Zhang Qingshan left, Xiang Xueqin has often been visited, and even sometimes, many people quietly put down their things outside the door and left, not to mention their names, but they didn't even bother, and Xiang Xueqin couldn't find anyone even if he wanted to return it.
To be more accurate, since Zhang Qingshan left, Xiang Xueqin has lived a better life than ever before, except for missing Zhang Qingshan, at least, what she eats is much stronger than that of the chiefs - many chiefs share weal and wo with the soldiers, eating sweet potatoes and gnawing on the nest.
This is still Xiang Xueqin didn't speak, if she said what she wanted to eat, I am afraid that people who have received Zhang Qingshan's favor will get her over as soon as possible, this is not only Zhang Qingshan's face, but also Zhang Qingshan's baby in her belly.
Although she knew very well why Liu Bing and those soldiers did this, it could be seen that Liu Bing said it so directly, and she couldn't refuse.
"Lao Liu, thank you, after I go back, thank you for me, comrades, I ...... I ......" As she spoke, Xiang Xueqin's eyes were red with emotion, but she really didn't know what to say next.
Fortunately, Liu Bing thought of something, turned around and walked to the door, and shouted outside: "What's the matter with you, what are you doing standing there one by one? I personally selected you plasterers who can do the work of plasterers, just so that you can paint the walls of my sister-in-law's house, not let you smoke cigarettes." Still not working?"
"Battalion commander, we also want to eat mutton dumplings and fish hot pot. ”
There was silence outside, then a voice sounded, and then there was laughter.
Liu Bing was very faceless and was about to roar, but was pulled by Xiang Xueqin, and when he went out, he saw five soldiers in the courtyard, some holding big brushes, some carrying buckets, and some with lime powder and soil at their feet.
She suddenly remembered in her mind that the last time Liu Bing came and left, she accidentally saw that the outside of her cave was a little dark and looked very shabby, so she muttered, "It's time to tidy up the outside." And I didn't think much about it at the time, so I habitually nodded. Unexpectedly, he was remembered by Liu Bing, and arranged this matter in his busy schedule, which made Xiang Xueqin very proud: he found a good husband, no, even if he was not around, there were still many people to help him.
Xiang Xueqin was moved, and hurriedly smiled and promised: "Yes! When it's ready, you'll be the first to eat. ”
Unbeknownst to him, these people were all veterans, and one guy immediately shouted: "Sister-in-law, let's talk about it first, I want to eat five bowls of dumplings." ”
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the help of others.
"Sister-in-law, I want to eat six bowls of dumplings. ”
"Sister-in-law, I want to eat ten bowls!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to eat a whole fish. ”
They shouted happily, but Liu Bing's head was full of black lines. Seeing that these bastards are getting more and more unpleasant, is this okay?
Immediately glared at everyone, and shouted viciously: "What six bowls and ten bowls? A whole fish? Even if you are not afraid to support yourself, Lao Tzu is still afraid that you will eat your sister-in-law's family poor...... Let me tell you, each person has a bowl of dumplings, and as for the fish, hmph! Whoever dares to eat more, go back and see how Lao Tzu cleans him up. ”
Everyone knows that Liu Bing is joking because of face problems. Xiang Xueqin smiled and took out the five cents from his pocket, turned around and handed it to Zhou Baoyu, who had just come to his side: "Baoyu, you go and buy two jars of good wine." ”
"Sister-in-law, two jars of good wine don't cost so much money. ”
"When you are born, you look at it and buy some other snacks. ”
"Oh~!"
The promise is the promise, but Zhou Baoyu squinted at the people while walking outside, and thought indignantly: Sister-in-law is not easy, you have so many people, are you here to help, or do you want to eat my sister-in-law's house?
And when those soldiers heard that they could eat and drink, they immediately cheered happily, and they also took care of Zhou Baoyu's eyes.
"What are you giggling at one by one? Why don't you get to work? Really, I'm here to help, not to eat and drink. Why don't you finish brushing this place today, brush it beautifully, and when the dumplings are in the pot, you all roll back for me. ”
"Don't, battalion commander, we promise to paint this place beautifully, and we won't disgrace you. ”
"Battalion commander, don't worry, everyone used to do this work often, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied. ”
"Yes, I can finally let go of my belly and eat a big meal, if I don't do my job well, how can I have a face on the table?"
As he spoke, everyone began to work at a rapid pace.
But Liu Bing, who was angry, could only smile helplessly at Xiang Xueqin...... In other words, if this kind of thing had been put in the past, with Liu Bing's arrogant character, he would never have gotten along with the soldiers, because in his arrogant heart, the soldier is a soldier, the commander is the commander, and it is okay to share weal and woe, but if you are so together, there will be no commander's posture. However, after being in contact with Zhang Qingshan for a long time, he saw his own shortcomings from Zhang Qingshan, so he naturally learned Zhang Qingshan's ability to talk to anyone.
At this time, Zhang Qingshan was wielding a hoe and working with all the soldiers to open up the wasteland and farm: they were really studying, not going to prison as others imagined to be receiving political and ideological education.
There is no difference from going to school, and they are very free to move, the only difference is that they are self-sufficient in clearing the land, and they have to support the people in the vicinity to reclaim the land......
Even the subjects you want to study, except for the Chinese class, you can choose a few other subjects. Zhang Qingshan chose the subject of command, because he knew very well that once he returned, he would inevitably lead his troops to the front line to fight the enemy.
It's just that what Zhang Qingshan doesn't know is that the enemy he will face after returning is no longer a reactionary, but a Japanese devil...... When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Zhang Qingshan, a fierce general with rich experience in leading soldiers, will naturally not be hidden, and he will usher in the peak of his life.
It's just that before that, Xiang Xueqin ushered in a huge blow......
