When it was dark, Han Mingxiu took advantage of the night and quietly went to Uncle Zhou's house.

She went to deliver firewood, and originally planned to go tomorrow, but then she thought about it, Uncle Zhou's family didn't have any firewood at all, even if she gave them food, without firewood, they wouldn't be able to cook.

Uncle Zhou was seriously injured, Aunt Zhou had to stay by his side to take care of her, she didn't have time to go out to collect firewood, if she went tomorrow, they would be hungry for one more day and freeze for one more night.

Although it is no longer the lunar month, the weather is still very cold, there is no house with firewood, and staying for 1 minute and 1 second more is a kind of torture, Uncle Zhou is so seriously injured, let him be hungry for one more day, freeze for one more night, and it is likely that something will happen.

Just in case, she still sent them the firewood first.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Zhou's house, Zhou's house was as he expected, cold and dark, not only did there be no firewood for cooking and heating, but there were no candles and oil lamps for lighting.

Aunt Zhou saw that Han Mingxiu was here today, and brought them a basket of wooden halberds and half a silk bag of coal, and excitedly grabbed Han Mingxiu's hand and thanked her vigorously.

Han Mingxiu pretended to take out a few candles from the bottom of the back basket and said, "As soon as I thought that you would have no oil lamps, I would bring you a few candles, and you should keep them for light." ”

"No, it's good that we can eat enough and not get frozen, so what's the light?"

Aunt Zhou held Han Mingxiu's hand and said that she would not accept her candles.

She felt that she already owed too much to others, and she was embarrassed to ask for more.

"You just take it, otherwise if my Uncle Zhou has something to do at night, it won't be convenient for you to touch the dark......" Han Mingxiu insisted on stuffing the candle into her hand.

"But...... Candles aren't cheap, we really can't ask for your things anymore, we really don't have anything to pay you back......" Aunt Zhou said.

"Auntie, what you should think about most now is how to heal Uncle Zhou's injuries, and don't worry about the rest of the little things......" Han Mingxiu insisted on stuffing the candle into her hand.

The two of them pushed, and in the darkness, there was a sudden sound of urns and urns.

"Why do you want to ...... Help us? ”

"Oh, Lao Zhou, are you awake?"

Aunt Zhou heard that the person on the kang had woken up, so she didn't care about pulling with Han Mingxiu, so she walked to the edge of the kang in three steps and two steps, and asked with concern, "How do you feel?" Does the wound still hurt? Is there any urine? ”

The man on the kang muffled and said, "I'm fine, help me sit up." ”

His so-called sitting up is not sitting on the kang like a normal person, but adding two pillows under his back to keep his body tilted, compared with lying down just now, but a slight change of posture.

After helping him sit down, Aunt Zhou had time to introduce him.

"Lao Zhou, this is Comrade Xiao Han introduced to us by Lao Gao, Xiao Han, this is my lover Lao Zhou."

"Hello Uncle Zhou!"

Han Mingxiu couldn't see Zhou Xilong's face clearly, but just looking at that shadowy figure, he could feel his despair and sadness, and seeing the former combat heroes fall to such a point, Han Mingxiu was very sad, so he greeted him respectfully.

Zhou Xilong hummed, indicating that he heard her greeting, and then asked seriously, "You haven't answered me yet, why are you helping us?" ”

When Aunt Zhou heard that her man's tone was so serious, she was afraid that Han Mingxiu would be angry, so she hurriedly and carefully poked him, and whispered, "What are you talking about?" People are kind enough to help us, what do you say they are doing? It's like you don't trust people. ”

"It's okay, Aunt Zhou, in extraordinary times, Uncle Zhou is right to be vigilant." Han Mingxiu was afraid that Aunt Zhou would not go, so she comforted her.

After that, he sincerely said to Zhou Xilong, "Uncle Zhou, I help you because I think you are a good person, you have contributed to the peace of the motherland, and you have shed blood and sweat for the cause of the people's liberation, people like you should be admired and loved by the people, and now, you have been treated unfairly, I can't help you else, I have to do my best to keep you from starving and freezing, I have no other meaning, and I have no other purpose, that is, I have a little respect for my revolutionary predecessors, Please rest assured. ”

These words came from Han Mingxiu's heartfelt words, and she said it very sincerely.

Really, even if he doesn't want to be repaid in the future, just with Zhou Xilong's previous contributions to the country and the people, Han Mingxiu is willing to make up for him free of charge.

Zhou Xilong was very moved when he heard Han Mingxiu's recognition and recognition of him, he looked at the silhouette of the girl in the dark, and said, "Whether we are wronged or not, but at present we are sinners, girl, if you associate with people like us and help people like us, aren't you afraid of being affected by us?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Han Mingxiu said, "I will be careful to deal with you, and I will not let others seize the handle." ”

She said this with confidence

She has a lid on her basket, and if anyone suspects her and interrogates her, she will receive the contents of the basket into the space, and when the time comes, she will be a country girl with an empty bamboo basket, and who can do anything with her?

With the magic weapon of the space cheat, of course she doesn't have to be afraid of anything.

Then, there was silence, and after half a day, Zhou Xilong's desolate voice sounded again, "Even your little girl believes me, but ...... The organization didn't believe me...... I, Zhou Xilong, have been crawling and rolling in the rain of bullets for so many years, and I have almost met Marx many times, but in the end, I ...... In the end, it became an anti-G life, hehe, hehehe......"

He smiled bitterly, and his laughter carried the vicissitudes and loss of thousands of sails.

Han Mingxiu knew that he was bitter in his heart, and he also knew that he was wronged and depressed, so he persuaded him, "Uncle Zhou, don't be sad, you won't be like this forever, justice may be late, but it will never be absent, and your contributions to the country and the people will eventually be recognized!" ”

"Well, that's a good saying, I love to hear it!"

When Zhou Xilong heard Han Mingxiu's words, his heart suddenly brightened a lot.

Over the years, all he has heard are words that humiliate him and scold him, and he has rarely heard of Han Mingxiu comforting and persuading him.

That is to say, he has a big heart, if he is a small heart, he falls into the dust from such a high position, and he is always humiliated, beaten, scolded, and tortured by those nameless rats, and he would have been suffocated to death......

"You're right, justice may be late, but it will never be absent, I must live well, and I must live until the day justice comes!"

Zhou Xilong shook his arm, as if he was cheering himself up.

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Uncle, you are right to think so, I bet that day will not be too far away, you two must take good care of yourself and prepare for a new life, otherwise your body will collapse, even if you usher in a new life, what's the point!" ”

"Well, we'll take care of ourselves, thank you, Comrade Han." Zhou Xilong said movingly.
