In the countryside in May, the vegetable fields are full of life.

Cucumbers, cowpeas, tomatoes, peppers, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables have been planted and grown.

The wheat has not yet been confiscated, the peaches and plums have turned red, and the oranges are gradually poking out their little heads, and it is a rare free time before the real harvest season arrives.

Xu Fugui wore a pair of gray patched fat trousers, a yellowed white long-sleeved gown, a wide-brimmed straw hat on his head, and his bare feet on the ground.

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry, pick a tender cucumber, wipe off the spikes on the cucumber, and bite down, the fresh cucumber juice bursts out in the mouth.

"Knock Knock"

At this moment, a faint sound of gongs and drums came from the entrance of the village, and the sound became more and more obvious from far and near.

"Whose happy event?"

Xu Fugui asked himself.

Recently, I haven't heard of anyone in the village who has a happy event, and in this world, who in their village has the money to invite a gong and drum team to be lively?

Without paying attention, he finished eating the tender cucumber and prepared to pick some vegetables and put them in the back basket behind him.

"Fugui, Fugui!"

A few familiar voices came from behind, and when I turned my head, Chen Yunsheng and Hu Xingwang rushed over, shouting at the top of their voices.

Xu Fugui straightened up, and when he was about to ask, the two of them grabbed his hand, "Go, go quickly." ”

Xu Fugui followed their strength and walked towards the village, "What's wrong, what are you talking about?" ”

"Great joy, great joy, you kid, hahaha, I didn't expect you to do such a big thing secretly."

The second monk Xu Fugui was puzzled, and followed them back to the door of his house, only to find that there were people on the third floor and the third floor outside the courtyard.

The sound of beating gongs and drums came from the courtyard, and Xu Fugui wondered even more, this gong and drum team is coming for his own house?

"Fugui is here, let him in, don't get in the way, this dead woman, don't get in the way."

There was a noise, Xu Fugui walked into the yard, and met a short-haired woman looking at him with a smile.

Dressed in army green clothes, wearing shiny leather shoes on his feet, his waist is straight and heroic.

She stretched out her hand, "Comrade Fugui, long time no see." ”

Xu Fugui gently shook the tip of her hand and shook it twice excitedly, "Comrade Yuzhi, have you won?" ”

Du Yuzhi nodded, "Generally speaking, it is victorious, there are still many bandits in some places, but Yunxi County has been taken over by the organization." ”

Xu Fugui nodded heavily, "That's good, that's good, the good days of our people are finally coming." ”

Du Yuzhi looked at him with a smile, and the events of three years ago slipped through his mind one by one.

Signaling the gong and drum team to stop, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and his face was serious, "Comrade Xu Fugui, Comrade Xu Laishun!" ”

"Here!"

Xu Fugui immediately straightened his waist and put his hands on the seams of his trousers, as if he were a javelin.

"Here!" Lai Shun hurriedly ran to his side and did the same.

Seeing this, the rest of the people immediately held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.

Jiazhen was holding Youqing, and Liu Cuiping was holding Fengxia, standing under the eaves, looking at this scene with a little apprehension.

Du Yuzhi saluted, took out a document, and said loudly: "Comrade Xu Fugui, Comrade Xu Laishun made great contributions to the work behind enemy lines in a certain year. ”

"And the two of them have a correct ideological attitude, have a strong sense of serving the people, are not afraid of difficulties, and after the study and decision of the superiors, Comrade Xu Laishun will be given a third-class merit and Comrade Xu Fugui a second-class merit!"

Xu Fugui's excited palms kept trembling, he never expected that he would participate in an operation and actually get a second-class merit, which was incredible.

Those soldiers who shuttle through the rain of bullets on the front line may not get a second-class merit, how can he get it.

Without thinking too much, he saluted and shouted with full confidence: "All for the organization, all for the people!" ”

"Me too, all for the organization, all for the people!" Lai Shunle smiled.

Xu Fugui kicked him and motioned him not to laugh.

Du Yuzhi smiled again, handed them two bright red certificates, and then took out two medals and solemnly placed them in their hands.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Du Yuzhi took the lead in applauding, and when the onlookers saw this, they immediately applauded vigorously, and the shock in their eyes was even greater than that of the Xu family.

They really don't know that Ming Fugui has been farming in the village, so why is it related to the New Rabbit Organization.

The sound of the gong and drum team struck again, and Xujia Village was lively, and the smiles on the faces of everyone in the Xu family never disappeared.

After the award, Jiazhen and Cui Ping hurriedly beckoned Du Yuzhi into the house, while the gong and drum team sat in the courtyard and drank tea.

Du Yuzhi walked into the thatched house, looked around, nodded slightly, looked at Jiazhen, and said gently: "Fugui often mentions you to me, saying that you are beautiful and cultured, virtuous and virtuous, I thought he was showing off, but I didn't expect what he said to be reserved." ”

Jiazhen didn't know what to call her, and wiped the best bamboo chair in the house over and over again, "Sir, you sit, my family is blessed thanks to you for taking care of it." ”

Du Yuzhi waved his hand indifferently, "You don't need to call me sir, if you don't dislike it, just call me Sister Yuzhi." ”

"Sister Yuzhi."

Du Yuzhi nodded with satisfaction, and Jiazhen took Cuiping and the two children out empathetically, and only the three of them were left in the house.

Although the three of them haven't seen each other for a long time, they don't have a lot of strangeness, so they greeted each other for a long time, recalling the time when they used to inquire about information in the county seat.

Later, Du Yuzhi said that his experience was that he snatched back a life from Lord Yama many times, and almost died.

After talking for a long time, Xu Fugui filled the teacup, "Comrade Yuzhi, will you stay in Yunxi County to preside over the work in the future?" ”

Du Yuzhi nodded, "The organization has decided to let me temporarily preside over the work of Yunxi County, but Comrade Chen told me that he will not stay here for too long." ”

Suddenly, Du Yuzhi lowered his voice and said, "Your second-class and third-class merits are also earned by Comrade Chen. ”

No wonder he was able to get a second-class merit, Xu Fugui felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, and asked, "I don't know what Comrade Chen's full name is?" ”

"When you encounter it later, you'll naturally know."

Xu Fugui shook his head, he was still self-aware, "A big man like Comrade Chen, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to meet her in my life." ”

Du Yuzhi glanced at him meaninglessly, "That's not necessarily, Comrade Chen will recite you even when he is fighting, and he obviously appreciates you very much." ”

Xu Fugui scratched the back of his head, not knowing what he had to appreciate, so he could only smile.

"By the way, Fugui, Laishun, your team membership card is still there, right?" Du Yuzhi asked.

Xu Fugui nodded, pretending to go into the house to look for it, but in fact, he took out two certificates from the space and handed them to her.
