Chapter 144: Serenade
Today, Old Man Gao is very excited, Xiaomei's mother was released early, and he accepted the good apprentice of Yakzi, and with the help of wine, he cared about the marriage of Yakzi and Xiaomei.
"What do you two think about my granddaughter and the stinky boy? Will it continue to be so confused, or will it be decided when it will be settled? Old man Gao questioned Teacher Ye Kun and Xiaomei's mother.
Teacher Ye Kun looked at Xiaomei's mother, and Xiaomei's mother said, "I want to hear what my father's opinion is?" ”
"When have you listened to me? I'm asking you two, Ye Kun, you are a father, you say, I can wait to see my great-grandson. ”
Teacher Ye Kun has always been silent in front of his old father-in-law, and since the old father-in-law cares, he has to speak.
"The children's affairs are up to them, let it be."
Teacher Ye Kun said this, taking care of the four girls in his heart. The fact that the yak did not solve the problem of the four girls was always a problem for him and Xiaomei's mother.
", what do you mean by going with the flow? Don't be full of men and don't know that hungry men are hungry, this matter is quickly settled, so that the child has a settlement in his heart, Xiaomei is my granddaughter, and the stinky boy is my newly accepted apprentice, their business is my business, I want me to say, hurry up early, don't rush late, so as not to have a long night and many dreams. ”
Xiaomei listened to her grandfather and father talk about her and her son, and because she was embarrassed, she lied that she was full, got off the table, and hid to the side.
He was pushed to the cusp, he was actually very passive, eager and confused in his heart, at this time, he lowered his head, very afraid that the old man Gao would question his attitude.
"I mentioned this yesterday, when I was preparing for the autumn or winter leisure, let the flower magpie be the matchmaker, and the two families came together to discuss and discuss, and the child agreed, and it was decided if it could." Xiaomei's mother replied to her father.
"In my opinion, the conditions are not very mature, and there are some things that need to be dealt with." Ye Kun spoke, his eyes looking at the bar.
"What do you need to deal with? I can't get used to your character, you have something to say, don't hide it. Old man Gao was a little impatient when he heard Ye Kun speak.
"Grandpa, what Mr. Ye said is right, the conditions are not mature for the time being, my family's situation Grandpa doesn't know, I don't want Xiaomei to live a hard life with me, in fact, I have always regarded Xiaomei as a sister, it's not that I don't want to be with Xiaomei, I don't dare to think about it."
He confided his heart to Old Man Gao and Xiaomei's parents.
Such heartfelt words, it was inconvenient for the yak to say in front of Zou Jie and Gao Laosan yesterday, the cold water poured by the fourth girl this morning calmed him down, and now, he borrowed the gall of wine, not vomiting or unhappy, it was not that he changed his mind, but he always thought like this.
"Yakzi, when I say that the conditions are not mature, I don't mean what you said, there are some things you should understand." Teacher Ye Kun reminded him.
"Your teacher is talking about Zhao Nan, and it's not a way for her to always pester you." Xiaomei's mother is straightforward.
"Teacher Ye, aunt, I understand what you mean, I believe that Zhao Nan will not always be like this, and when things are decided, she will die." He said so, but he really didn't know the bottom in his heart.
"I saw that the little girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and what the stinky boy just said was not like what you should say, it was honest enough, but it was spineless, what is it called a nest? What are the hard days? Do you know what it means to share blessings and difficulties? It's more bitter than a nest, and when you were a slave in the past, did you have a nest? If you want to say bitterness, was it bitter when you resisted US aggression and aided Korea? You are now born in the midst of happiness and do not know blessings, if you are waiting for everything to be complete, what do you want to revolution? What do you want to fight for? ”
"Dad has a point, you don't have to be stressed, the difficulties are temporary." Teacher Ye Kun stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this, I have a limited amount of alcohol, take this opportunity, I respect my father and aunt and everyone with a glass of wine, some time ago my family experienced a bad thing, let you all worry and worry, I won't say more polite words, now, it's finally over, come hard, start all over again, I believe everything will be fine, come on, let's do this together!" ”
Everyone responded to Mr. Ye Kun's proposal and drank a glass of wine together.
Teacher Ye Kun drank this glass of wine, nibbled on a stick of sticky bud rice, and left the seat with Xiaomei's mother, and the old man Gao, the yakzi and the employees of the orchard drank until they had enough time before ending the banquet.
Late at night, he took the shotgun given to him by the old man Gao, accompanied Xiaomei's family, with the starlight on his head, and walked home.
The night was very quiet, and a few people had just approached Xingfutun, when they suddenly heard someone shouting in the budding rice field in the back mountain: "Don't run...... Stand still for me...... If you don't stand any longer, I'll shoot......"
"Phew!"
A dull gunfire rang out in the night sky.
What's going on again?
The People's Commune has a customary rule that each production team sends people to watch the green from the time the crops are half-ripe until the harvest.
To see green is to guard the immature crops until the crops are ripe and the harvest is returned to the warehouse.
During this period, it is not only necessary to prevent people from stealing the fruits in the fields, but also to allow the members to go up the mountain to collect grass and cut firewood at will, and the firewood must be allocated by the production team.
The youth are generally based on the militia of the production team, equipped with semi-automatic rifles and flashlights, and the production team is also equipped with serious and responsible members who dare to touch the hard, in groups of two and two, patrolling and guarding day and night.
Tonight, there were shouts and gunshots in the budding rice fields in the back mountains, and nine times out of ten they saw the green militia and members catching thieves.
When the family heard the shouts and gunshots, they were shocked.
"Who's shouting? Why did you still put the gun? Xiaomei's mother asked nervously.
"It's like arresting someone." Ye Kun guessed.
"Teacher Ye, auntie, I'll take a look, it should be the militia who watch Qing catch thieves."
After saying that, he handed the gun magazine to Xiaomei to hold, and he ran with a shotgun to the place where the gun rang out just now.
"Brother Yakzi, be careful...... Xiaomei shouted with concern.
"Got it, it's dark, you walk slowly......" Yakzi responded.
He soon arrived at the back mountain, and sure enough, he met the militia and the members of the Youth Society.
The militia was escorting a woman with a lot of flowers, and a member of the Youth Club was carrying a bag on her shoulder.
"Son, why are you here? You're ......."
The militia and the members of the youth society looked at the yak with a shotgun on his back and was curious.
"I just came back from the Dongshan Orchard and heard gunshots, so I came over to have a look." Identifying the woman, he asked, "What's going on?" ”
"No, catch one of the bud stealers." The militia pointed at the frightened woman.
"Yakzi, I'm your Aunt Zhang, you quickly help your aunt say a word, let your aunt go, your aunt swears to the sky, she will starve to death, and she will never dare again." The woman threw herself down to her knees in front of the scumbag.
At first glance, this woman was none other than his good brother Zhang Shijie's mother.
What can I do? How to intercede for this kind of thing? He ran out of ideas for a while.
"Can you untie the rope for her first, they are all living in one cantonment, and they can't run." He pleaded with the militia and the youth members.
The militia and the members of the Youth Society saw the face of the yakzi and loosened the tie on Zhang Shijie's mother.
"Did you check it, how many buds did you break?" He asked the members of the Youth Society.
"Checked, there are twenty-five sticks in total, all of them are big sticks." Look at the youth member answered.
"Auntie, how can you do this?" He didn't wait for Zhang Shijie's mother to speak, and asked the militia, "What are you going to do?" ”
"If a thief is caught, he will be handed over to the brigade for processing, criticizing, and parading the streets."
"Can you hand it over to the production team first, and ask Captain Zhao what to do," the barn said, "I'm not covering her, they're all villagers in Tun, and they don't look up to see each other. ”
"Since you say so, then do as you say," said the militiaman, "but I don't think I can hide it, and all the people in the tun can hear it just now." ”
"I can't hide it, you go to the production team first, and I'll go to Captain Zhao."
After saying that, he hurried back to Xingfutun and met Captain Wang Kui and Zhao Yimin, the acting captain and veteran party member, as well as a few members who came curiously when they heard the gunshots in the middle of the night.
The gun was on his shoulder, and everyone was very surprised, thinking that the gunshot just now was fired by the gun.
"What's going on? Where's your gun? You set it off just now? Captain Wang Kui asked.
He didn't answer immediately, but invited Captain Wang Kui and veteran party member Zhao Yimin aside and told the truth.
"Is this worth it? How can we Xingfutun tolerate this kind of thing happening, report to the brigade, we must deal with it fiercely, in order to set an example! ”
Acting captain Zhao Yimin spoke loudly, and the members who rushed to hear it clearly.
"Old party member, you don't have to be impatient first, and you can't publicize the ugliness of your family, can you talk about this matter in total?"
Captain Wang Kui deliberately handled this matter in a low-key manner, and he thought the same way.
Zhao Yimin, a veteran party member, heard Captain Wang Kui say this, and he didn't insist on his own opinion anymore.
"It's not a big deal, let's go back first, I put the gunshot just now, and I disturbed everyone's sleep."
When he said this at this time, no one believed it, and no one was in a hurry to go home, and they all wanted to know what was going on.
Among the members who rushed to the club happened to be Zhang Shijie, who slept until late at night, suddenly heard the gunshot, opened his eyes in a daze, got up from the kang, and suddenly found that his mother was gone. He searched for a long time at home but didn't find it, and when he went out and saw Captain Wang Kui and the members, he followed.
Not long after, the militia and members of the Youth Watching Society escorted Zhang Shijie's mother over.
Zhang Shijie was dumbfounded when he saw his mother.
"What's going on? Mom, where have you been? ”
Zhang Shijie was very panicked, and before his mother could speak, he had already understood, and hurriedly pleaded with Captain Wang Kui, Zhao Yimin, Yakzi and the militia: "You let my mother go, tell me something." ”
Zhang Shijie's mother saw her son, the captain, and the members, and she was ashamed and bowed her head silently.
"Old party member, I suggest that the bud rice be sent to the club tonight, except for the green ones, everyone will go home and sleep first, and let the people go first, just like that, everyone has seen it, and people can't run, how to deal with it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Zhao Yimin and the militia listened to Captain Wang Kui's suggestion and put Zhang Shijie's mother home for the time being, and the yakzi accompanied the members of the Youth Club to send half a bag of bud rice to the production team.
