Chapter 2 One Joy and One Sorrow

Xiaodouzi this kid is really good, married for less than half a year, he drummed up a child, grandfather said that it is fake not to eat, even his own little brother has a queen, he has been married for eight or nine years, his daughter-in-law's stomach has no movement at all, the people in this fart village are the most broken, there are many discussions behind the back, there is nothing to say, I don't know which life has not accumulated virtue, relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run, and finally married a girl and is not pregnant.

My grandfather pondered and meditated for several days, and suddenly realized, that he only said that "there is Yan Ruyu in the book", but he did not say that he would definitely be able to have children if he read.

Although my grandfather had studied in the capital for ten years, he could not taste the essence of the sage's book according to his temperament of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. So although my grandfather has the title of "reader", there are actually not a few drops of ink in his stomach.

On the day when Xiaodouzi gave Xiaodouzi a full moon wine, his grandfather was drunk, and Xiaodouzi understood that his grandfather was depressed and couldn't say anything, so he had to accompany the wine.

"Big brother, the clothes embroidered with the golden phoenix that we collected together a few years ago did you haunt and sell to your brother?

Hearing Xiaodouzi ask this, if he had put it aside, he would definitely have answered "Sell what you want, if you are rare, you will take it", but today he was already angry, and he shouted loudly with the strength of wine: "You are out of breath now, what do you want, you have a wife and children, why are you still robbing things from your eldest brother?"

Xiaodouzi was stunned for a moment when he heard his grandfather's words, then smiled and drank all the wine in the cup, and said nothing.

The situation in the Northeast is becoming more and more tense, the RB people are unscrupulous on the land of China, the small traders and hawkers who were originally only exploited by the Nationalist Government are now more and more oppressed by the Japanese Bandits, and the business is becoming more and more sluggish, and my grandfather is also thinking about closing down the clothing shop and going to the south to make a living.

At this moment, joy fell from the sky, and my grandmother became pregnant.

The sudden joy made my grandfather feel at a loss, and he was so excited that he wanted everyone to know about the happy event.

When my grandmother was pregnant in May, China and Japan went to war, and to be precise, parts of China were occupied by the Japanese invaders.

Grandfather wanted to sell the clothing shop, and Xiaodouzi said he wanted to buy it. He has now inherited the garment shop on the other side, and wants to take down his grandfather's clothing shop, and when it grows up, people in the whole village and town can only come to his family to buy clothes and clothes.

After negotiating the price and negotiating the time of the sale, my grandfather was ready to leave the Northeast on a certain day.

RB people found out out of nowhere that my grandfather had a few beautiful old clothes in his hands, and on this day, a devil team came to Longmiao Village and forced my grandfather to hand over the beautiful clothes "embroidered with a phoenix". In the face of the bright bayonet, my grandfather dared not obey, and hurriedly searched for it, but the boxes and cabinets were turned over to no avail, so he almost turned the house to the bottom.

I found Xiaodouzi to ask, and Xiaodouzi also said that she didn't know. Xiaodouzi's son Dou Qizhong is three and a half years old, and he can say ordinary words, hearing his grandfather ask Xiaodouzi, the little guy opened his small mouth and said: "Phoenix, the golden phoenix on the clothes, so big..."

Grandfather suspected that Xiaodouzi took the bag of clothes, Xiaodouzi just didn't admit it, RB people saw the clue, held a bayonet and pointed at Xiaodouzi, but didn't think that Xiaodouzi actually jumped out of a series of RB words, pointing at grandfather while talking, grandfather had never seen this formation, and asked Xiaodouzi to explain. After Xiaodouzi finished talking to the RB officer, he left, without looking at his grandfather.

My grandfather knew that he had been pitted, but he jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. He couldn't figure out why this little brother of his would harm himself so much.

The devil raided his grandfather's house, snatched all the money on the surface, and beat his grandfather before he would give up.

Fortunately, my grandmother is a good housekeeper, and my grandfather also knows the truth that wealth is not exposed, so the family's big money and savings for many years are well hidden, not to mention RB devils, even Xiaodouzi, who has lived in the Lu family for more than ten years, doesn't know where the Lu family's money is.

My grandfather was beaten half to death, his chest hurt and he was panting uncomfortably, lying on the kang and looking at the ceiling in a daze. He couldn't figure out why Xiaodouzi, who was as close as a brother, was so cunning about himself.

Late at night, Xiaodouzi came to the clothing shop, looked at his scarred grandfather, and knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word. Grandfather looked at the little bean with tears on his face when he raised his head, and his heart was painful and hateful, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

"Big brother, it's all Yuxiu's father who cheated us!" Xiaodouzi said as he kowtowed, his words full of guilt and grief.

It turns out that Yuxiu's real name is Tanaka Yuxiu, and she is a purebred female devil, although she grew up in China, she is full of ugly thoughts of "RB militarism" under the influence of her father Tanakanuma.

Tanakanuma is an RB small businessman on the surface, but his actual identity is a staff member of a certain leader of the RB Kwantung Army.

It is said that there is such a day, Xiaodouzi and his father-in-law eat wine together, and the gossip at the dinner table talks about the "golden silk gown" received that year, Tanakanuma is a China expert, and there are many people who have known each other over the years, and the treasures that have been seen are even more sea, and when he heard his son-in-law's description, he can basically conclude that the "embroidered golden phoenix" dress is a valuable item, so he instigated his son-in-law to borrow it from his grandfather Lu Baode to watch.

Xiaodouzi said at the moment that when he opened his mouth, the eldest brother categorically had no possibility of refusing. Tanakanuma looked down on this son-in-law in his heart, and now he learned that his son-in-law might ask for a treasure, and there was more praise in his eyes.

I didn't expect that one day, my grandfather directly said no, no way, I couldn't help my daughter-in-law muttering in my ear all day long, so I took advantage of the moment when my grandfather went out to deliver clothes one day, sneaked into the shop and stole the burden with the gold silk gown.

Tanakanuma had little interest in the two commonplace fur coats, but he couldn't put it down with a floral coat embroidered with a phoenix, and sent the little bean away under the pretext of keeping it in his hands for a few days.

"You stole all those clothes, why did you attract RB soldiers?" the grandfather frowned, looking at the brother who was usually loyal to him.

"I didn't look for RB soldiers, big brother! I'm always worried that you will find out that your clothes are lost, how dare I find RB people to search for them! I have to take responsibility for what happened!" Xiaodouzi panicked to defend himself, his grandfather could hear that Xiaodouzi was telling the truth, and with his own understanding of Xiaodouzi, he was not that kind of foolish person.

"Then who the hell is going to do it?" Although the grandfather was puzzled, he still did not pursue Xiaodouzi, as for the gold silk gown embroidered with a phoenix, it should be regarded as a ruin to avoid disaster.

My grandfather was getting better under the care of my grandmother and was ready to leave Tohoku at any time.

It's autumn, and the weather is neither cool nor hot, just in time for a hurry.

The husband and wife discussed and discussed, otherwise they should go to Guanwai first, it is convenient to go north and south. Xiaodouzi and his wife have always come to visit the door recently, Yuxiu still has a fake smile, but in the eyes of his grandfather, the woman's smile is very panicked, after all, he has heard and witnessed the virtue of the little RB in the Northeast over the years, and murder and arson are also common, in the eyes of his grandfather, the RB devil does not have a good thing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an animal dressed in human skin.

Grandfather asked Little Douzi if he would come with them, and Little Douzi sighed and didn't answer.

The day before departure, large bags and small bags were piled up in the corners, and the savings of the ancestors had not yet been dug up, so the husband and wife planned to move out on the day of departure.

said that he would do the handover of the clothing shop with Xiaodouzi today, and his grandfather was going to go to the garment shop to find Xiaodouzi after breakfast, and he also said goodbye by the way. didn't think that before he stepped out of the door, Xiaodouzi walked in with the captain of the devil squad who came to beg for clothes last time.

"Big brother, I'm sorry. After Xiaodouzi lowered his head and said a word to his grandfather, he turned his head and said a lot of RB words to the captain of the devil, which seemed to be an order, and the captain actually bowed "Hai" when he heard it.

As soon as the squad leader waved his hand, a group of about seven or eight RB soldiers rushed into the house behind him, escorting his grandfather out before he had recovered his senses.

Although the grandmother didn't understand why Xiaodouzi hooked up with the RB people, she saw the situation in front of her clearly, but no matter how the pregnant grandmother begged, Xiaodouzi lost her kindness as before, snorted coldly and followed the ghost squad leader into the car and drove away.

What happened after that is unknown to my grandmother, and all I know is that my grandfather was released half a month later, and my grandfather was beaten like a gossamer and covered in scars.

During this period when my grandfather was taken away, my grandmother dragged my increasingly heavy body to beg Xiaodouzi repeatedly, begging him to let my grandfather go in the old friendship, but Xiaodouzi refused, and my grandmother had nothing to do, but she was helpless.

Grandmother was sad all day long, and she could only wait at home for her grandfather to come back, although she was a woman who didn't deal much with outsiders, but she had also heard of the cruel methods of the little devils in the Northeast over the years, and she could only pray for her grandfather's safety every day with no choice but to worry. She couldn't help but cry every time she mentioned this time, and the old man said that the sentence she said the most during that time was: "If you can save your life!"

In autumn, the weather is getting cooler, and my grandmother sits alone in the clothing estimation shop, since the two of them discussed leaving the northeast, they stopped making a living in the shop, and there is no stock in the shop, and some old clothes are also distributed to the neighbors who are more difficult at home, so the empty shop looks very deserted at this time.

The prices in the Northeast are getting higher and higher, and the price of rice is even more prohibitive.

There is a big well next to the shop that has long dried up, and the people of the village like to gather there to sit around and chatter when they are free.

My grandmother had never been to the city, but she heard from the rich man in the village that the big households in the county town had big fish and meat, and the white flour buns were thrown away after only one bite, and the dogs in the city were better than the people in the village. In the past, whenever my grandfather was here, he would definitely interject: "Rich man Ding, do the dogs in the city eat better than your family?"

My grandmother was almost six months old, and she couldn't help but swallow when she heard people outside talking about food. When my grandfather was there, I always managed to get some fine white noodles and meat for her to beat, but now that my grandfather has been arrested for more than ten days, she has no heart to cook, and every day she nibbles on cold and hard rough flour cakes, plus melancholy, her face looks dull and sallow.

There was a commotion outside, it turned out that when they were chatting nonsense, a big fox came out of nowhere, for a group of countrymen who didn't dare to put much oil and water in dumplings for the New Year, it was undoubtedly happier to catch such a big fox to satisfy their hunger than the New Year.

It stands to reason that foxes don't dare to enter the village casually, not to mention that it's broad daylight?

I heard a noisy crowd that seemed to be chasing a fox running from nowhere, and the sound gradually faded away, and the grandmother fell asleep unconsciously.

Half-asleep, I suddenly felt a "squeak" from the door of the cabinet in the house, and my grandmother didn't think much about it, leaned sideways, and fell into a deep sleep again.
