After Xiu Gu entered the adobe house and entered Zhou's mother's house, her whole body suddenly warmed up, and she felt like she was at home.

It's been a long time since I've felt this way.

At this time, she drank the tea served by Zhou's mother, the tea made from small red dates, and her heart was even sweeter.

The wind and rain here are impervious to the rain, and no matter how heavy the snow falls outside, it cannot seep in, and the days of freezing on the embankment of the Samwang River have passed.

At this time, the third baby opened the curtain of the east wing and saluted her with a standard military salute, "Report to Aunt Xiu, my third baby will return to the team tonight." ”

"Returning to the team?" Xiu Gu was taken aback, a little red date was almost stuck in her throat, and she couldn't go up and down, "Return to the team, what team to belong to?" ”

"I am the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and I want to return to the army, fight across the Yangtze River, capture Chiang Kai-shek alive, and liberate all of China."

"You just sent me here, are you leaving?" How much reluctance Xiugu has in her heart.

"Yes, Aunt Xiu, you are safe, and my mission is complete. You have to return to the team, and there will be a period later. ”

Xiu Gu also wanted to ask, didn't she say that she would accompany her to the market tomorrow. But the third baby has turned around and is stepping forward and stepping out of the door.

Tears, although blurred her eyes, but the figure of the third baby in the distance became taller and taller.

She was helped into the adobe house by Zhou's mother, and her expression was still in a trance.

Everything came so suddenly, everything was so incredible, and everything made her Xiugu fall into the clouds.

How can a homeless man who used to be unclothed be a soldier?

Xiu Gu cried and fell into Zhou's mother's arms, "Auntie, what's going on?" Is his third child really the Chinese People's Liberation Army? ”

"Of course you can't be wrong, listen to him, and my youngest son are comrades-in-arms."

It turned out that Zhou's mother had three sons, and her eldest son was arrested by the Kuomintang many years ago to serve as a soldier and sacrificed his life for the country in the Battle of Xuzhou.

And her youngest son, who signed up for the New Fourth Army three years ago, was in the same company as Sanwazi, charged forward in the Battle of Menglianggu, and sacrificed his young life for the cause of people's liberation.

Now, she only has her second son Zhou Tiankui left, who is the leader of the Yangcun Peasant Association and the squadron leader of the front squadron.

However, Zhou Tiankui did not return as scheduled, and did not arrive home until the day of Lixia.

When Xiu Gu saw Zhou Tiankui, she hurriedly asked him about the situation of the three children.

Zhou Tiankui looked dazed after hearing this, and he didn't know who the third baby was. But he said excitedly, "The Chinese People's Liberation Army is like a bamboo, and now it has crossed the Yangtze River and occupied the presidential palace, the Chiang dynasty is about to end, and New China is about to be born." ”

didn't inquire about the three babies' dissipation, and Xiu Gu silently retreated to the west wing.

The west wing not only has the bed where Zhou's mother sleeps, but also the stove for cooking, which is a bedroom and kitchen. Since she came, she has been with Zhou's mother at night.

She was very worried about the safety of the third baby, she wanted to find him, but which army was the third baby in? She didn't know. What if you know he's there? She's a small-footed woman, how to get there?

Now, she hated her father and why he bound his feet. She also hated her own family, why she was born in a wealthy family.

If she hadn't been born into a wealthy family, she wouldn't have been bound in foot. She wouldn't be a small-footed woman without binding her feet.

If it weren't for her little feet restricting her freedom, she would have thrown herself into the rolling torrent of revolution like many of her classmates.

She remembered her mother in heaven. If your mother is still alive, you can talk about your heart.

If you have a mother, you will have a warm home, and if you have a mother, you will have wings to protect her.

She thinks that she will be a good mother in the future, be a long-lived mother, take care of their growth, accompany them to grow up, and never let them be left behind.

Although the past is unbearable, the real problem is very practical, what should I do? Eating and living in the Zhou family for nothing is not a long-term plan.

What to do? Marry Zhou Tiankui and be his daughter-in-law, and you can live here justifiably.

As soon as this idea came up, it was quickly denied by Xiu Gu herself. She felt that she was not worthy of Zhou Tiankui. How can a person from a bad background have delusions about a revolutionary family and a revolutionary cadre?

What to do, what to do? She doesn't know where her path is.

At this time, Zhou's mother walked into the west wing and asked directly, "Aunt Xiu, now my aunt wants to hear the truth from you: Are you really Wang Dakou's niece?" ”

It doesn't matter to her aunt, the important thing is that she feels abandoned by this society.

She felt that she could not live here, and she was now desperate for a place where she really lived.

"Xiugu, don't have any worries. I heard from my son that a new government will be formed soon, and the new government will have a new atmosphere, and everyone will have to be registered. If you don't tell me where you came from, it will affect my son's future. ”

"Auntie, I'm ......, I'm really not a bad person." In order to prove herself, Xiu Gu hurriedly confessed.

"You can see that you're not a bad person." Zhou's mother said, sat down on the edge of the bed, next to her, "Aunt Xiu, listen to your accent, you are from Shandong, what is the relationship with Wang Dakou's eldest sister, say it." No matter what the relationship is, Auntie will not let you go. ”

"My father is from Shandong and does business in Xuzhou. Later, when Xuzhou was liberated, my stepmother falsely accused my father of colluding with the Japanese, and my father couldn't think of committing suicide, so I escaped all the way south to your Yang Village. ”

After Xiu Gu finished speaking, she was relieved, "Auntie, my Xiu Gu doesn't hide anything from you, Sister-in-law Wang worked as a maid in my house, and she said that she has a younger brother named Wang Dakou, so I claim to be Wang Dakou's niece." ”

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou stood up and patted Xiu Gu on the shoulder, "Girl, don't be afraid, as long as your father has not persecuted revolutionary cadres, has not brutalized the people, and as long as there is no blood debt on his body, no matter what family background, we are all family." ”

"No, no, there is no blood on anyone in my family." After Aunt Xiu heard Zhou's mother's words, she was sincerely afraid.

"It's good if you don't have it." Zhou's mother said and came to pull Xiugu's hand, "You can go to the village government with me now, we have a peasant association, and a land reform team, explain things clearly, and register." What do you think? ”

"It's good, but my little feet are not easy to walk?" Xiu Gu voiced her worries.

"It's okay, I have a wheelbarrow at home, I'll push you there."

Before Zhou's mother finished speaking, Zhou Tiankui opened the door curtain, "Mom, let's let my son push Xiugu away." ”

Xiu Gu heard Zhou Tiankui's voice, and her body tightened in fright, she was a little afraid of him, afraid of the kind of gaze he glanced at herself, afraid that he would be like a wolf and eat herself.

How could such a person even think of marrying him just now?

She thought of the three babies, and it was better to be the eldest brother of the three babies.

The three babies talked to her, and their eyes were bright and pure. But where is he now, will he be sacrificed?
