Chapter 98

Ding Dasuan dragged Shi Lei to squat down under a tree, thought Ding Dasuan was going to say something, but instead he started smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Ding Dasuan with a sad face and hesitant to speak, Shi Lei was overjoyed, and shouted at Ding Dasuan: "Abacus, if you have something to say, just talk about it, smoking is nothing, if you don't tell me, I'll be fine." gone."

Seeing that Shi Lei turned to leave, he couldn't bear the abacus, and quickly said: "It's not a problem if you go on like this."

Shi Lei playfully said to the abacus with a bitter face: "What's the matter?"

Seeing Shi Lei say this, he was impatient, "Ah, why are you playing sloppy with me!"

Seeing that the abacus was in a hurry, Shi Lei stopped teasing Ding's big abacus, and patted the abacus on the shoulder and said: "I know what you said, if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, our big family consumes a lot every day , Even if there is surplus food, there will be no output, don’t worry, just wait for a while, I have a solution.”

Hearing Shi Lei said that there is a way, Abacus's bitter face immediately disappeared, "Okay, as long as you have a way."

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen Feng's training was very effective. He was still the same people, and his clothes were still those of ordinary people, but his spirit was no longer what it used to be, like little tigers.

The nearby villagers heard that the Eighth Route Army was cooperating with the national army to fight against Japan, and they all joined the army happily.

These simple people may not understand the meaning of unanimous muzzle to the outside world, but they can feel that as long as the Chinese don't beat the Chinese and hug each other, then no one can bully the Chinese!The team grew stronger and stronger, so under Shi Lei's suggestion, Chen Feng, Magnet and Sun Chenghai led their respective companies to train separately, and the competition was still held regularly.

The three groups of people trained hard, for fear of being outmatched, the combat effectiveness of the team improved rapidly.Just practicing and not fooling around, when the time is right, Shi Lei, Chen Feng and the others will lead everyone to rob, attack a blockhouse, and find a puppet company to start a fight.

There are more people, the battle is going smoothly, everyone is in harmony, and the entire county brigade has begun to have a new cohesion.

However, there is one person who is worried every day, and this person is Ding Dasuan.Zhuangzi, who is bigger than sesame, has so many soldiers, and there is not enough food.

When Ding was at a loss for ideas, he ran to Shi Lei to smoke a pipe, complained to Shi Lei, and hoped that he could give him some advice.But every time, Shi Lei prevaricates and dismisses him, and then he runs to Li Daben's grave to continue smoking and complaining. Come up with an idea, as if the grave was touched by Li Daben's aura.

On this day, Ding Dasuan was leading two soldiers to build a chicken coop, his hands were covered in mud, and the big basket beside him was full of squeaking chicks.

Sun Chenghai took the second company and happened to pass by here.Sun Chenghai asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Abacus, watching the brothers work hard, pondering
How about giving us a toothbrush?”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Ding Dasuan glared at him, and shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Take turns to stand guard here 24 hours a day! You are not allowed to lose a chick! Remember?"

"Yes!"

"Iron cock! Miser!" Sun Chenghai and others laughed and left.

Wang Jiadao walked over pushing a cart, and shouted from afar: "Old Ding, Lao Ding! Here comes the dung you want!"

Ding Dasuan cheerfully ran over to help push the cart.

Wang Jiadao asked: "What are you growing in the field? They are so carefully sorted."

"It's all fine vegetables."

"It's not something you keep for yourself to eat, it's something you plan to plant in exchange for food."

Wang Jiadao was puzzled: "What, fine vegetables? In these days, you can't get enough of food, so you still grow fine vegetables?"

Wang Jiadao became even more confused: "Who can afford fine vegetables?"

Ding Dasuan said something mysteriously in Wang Jiadao's ear, and Wang Jiadao jumped up in fright: "Old Ding, you have to think about this matter, and you have to discuss it with Captain Shi first."

Ding thought about it for a while and said, "Well, I have to talk to him."

At noon, Ding Dasuan took advantage of the meal and told Shi Lei about Xicai.The magnet on the side jumped up from the kang, and was anxious at the time: "Have your head been kicked by a donkey?! I grew vegetables myself, and went to Er Gouzi for food?"

Ding Dasuan planned to sit him down: "Don't make a fuss, let me explain this to you slowly. Now that we are in this team, the soldiers have trained well, but the food is too fierce. Household property is so hard! No matter how many villages you go to borrow every day, people can’t afford it. Then who has extra food? The devil and Er Gouzi! Beans, you get angry when you eat them, and you want to eat fine vegetables! Let’s find the villagers and exchange them with fine vegetables and some local grains, isn’t that what everyone needs?”

The magnet pointed to his nose: "You are called an enemy!"

"What kind of enemy? Giving fine vegetables to Er Gouzi for nothing is called enemy! Now, we use vegetables to exchange the grain they took from the Chinese. How can this be called enemy!" Ding Big Abacus quibbles.

Chen Feng burst into laughter: "Abacus, your words are becoming more and more like Li Da's ability, and you can make sense even if you don't make sense."

The magnet can't say anything about Ding's big plan, so he said to Chen Feng: "Old Chen, come and comment on this!"

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "This is also a last resort. Napoleon said that soldiers fight with their stomachs."

The two were taken aback, and asked in unison: "What broken wheel?"

Chen Feng couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not a wheel. Napoleon is a general, from France."

Ding Dasuan slapped his thigh: "That's right, the French also said that I was right! The food and grass go first before the people and horses move. It's not easy for me to be a housekeeper, what should we do instead?"

The magnet said dissatisfied: "I can't say no to you! You are fooling around!"

"Pooh!"

Then Ding's big plan was to look at Shi Lei, waiting for Shi Lei to speak to decide whether this matter is okay.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the door was pushed open with a bang.

Huanxi rushed in, panting and said: "Go and have a look, Sun Chenghai's enemies are here!"

The few people were startled, and Chen Feng hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

"Threshing floor!"

The magnet picked up the bayonet and rushed out at the head.

A few people came to the threshing ground to have a look. The crowd formed a big circle, and they were laughing and laughing. It didn't look like someone was seeking revenge, but rather like watching a monkey show.The magnet separated the crowd, walked in and took a look, bursting with joy.

A big woman dressed as a man was grabbing Sun Chenghai and beating her shamelessly.

Sun Chenghai seemed to be a different person, he only dodged left and right, completely lost the heroic spirit of the past.

The woman beat and scolded like a cannonball: "...I beat you ungrateful Chen Shimei! Last time in Baoding, you threw down a few dollars and ran away without letting go. I know that my mother has been looking for you for the past two years. How much did you suffer, how much did you suffer? Well, I finally let me inquire! So I became Qiu Ba and became an official, and I don’t care about us women!"

Sun Chenghai blushed and covered her mouth: "Shut up! You don't think it's shabby!"

The woman pulled his hand away and shouted: "I just want everyone to know that your chief is Chen Shimei!"

Everyone burst into laughter, Sun Chenghai glanced viciously, everyone quickly covered their mouths, but still couldn't stop laughing.

Magnet pretended to be sullen, and walked over to Sun Chenghai and asked, "What does she do?"

Sun Chenghai knew that the magnet was deliberately embarrassing him, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

The woman rushed to say: "What are you doing? Why are you throwing face at my man!"

Seeing Shi Lei watching the excitement, Chen Feng and Ding Dasuan looked at each other, thinking that this woman has a temper, and Lao Sun will suffer a lot this time.

"Are you his wife?" Magnet asked the woman.

Sun Chenghai wished he could find a crack in the ground, and winked at the woman desperately.The woman didn't realize it: "Yes! I'm here to be the wife of an official!"

"If you have anything to say, go to the room, don't be ashamed here." After the magnet finished speaking, he turned and shouted at the crowd, "What are you looking at? Let's go!"

Sun Chenghai seemed to have received an amnesty, and hurriedly followed the magnet out of the crowd.

Not far away, he heard a burst of laughter behind him, Sun Chenghai blushed like Guan Gong, and did not dare to turn his head.

When they came to the room, Shi Lei, Ding Dasuan, Chen Feng, and Magnet sat around together, listening to Sun Chenghai explain the ins and outs.

"Her name is Men Shulan. She is the child bride-in-law recruited by my mother. She is three years older than me, and she is bigger than the boys. I have been annoying her since I was a child, and I only left the house to hide from her. I hide from east to west, from south to south." If you go to the north, no matter where you hide, this girl will definitely come after you soon." Sun Chenghai sighed.

Chen Feng asked with a smile: "Now people are blocking the door, what do you think?"

"What can I do? Otherwise, I'll run away!" Sun Chenghai thought for a while.

Ding made up his mind and said, "Run? Where are you going?"

Shi Lei coughed lightly and said, "Run away when something happens? You can't do that."

Sun Chenghai scratched the ground with stones, but did not make a sound.

Magnet had been laughing beside him for a long time, and just stopped laughing.He said in a low voice, "That woman is good to you, don't break her promise! She is your wife, so you have to take care of her."

Sun Chenghai was in a hurry: "Really not!"

"Yesterday wasn't it?"

Sun Chenghai stammered: "I...I have never touched her!"

A few people looked at me and I looked at you, just smiling, without any idea.

I really can't think of any constructive advice on this kind of thing.

At the threshing ground, everyone gathered together and listened to Men Shulan's story about Sun Chenghai: "...just Sun Chenghai, who is still an official? He peed on the bed at night when he was ten years old! He fell asleep at night and dreamed He fell into the water curtain hole, and when he opened his eyes, the mattress was all wet! He huddled on the foot of the kang and cried to me, saying, sister, don’t tell my mother!”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Sun Chenghai appeared behind Men Shulan and yelled with a livid face: "Shut up!" Everyone dispersed as soon as they saw him, only Men Shulan looked indifferent.

Sun Chenghai gritted his molars and said, "You lost all your face!"

"Why, what else can the couple not say!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sun Chenghai pulled her up and dragged her away without any explanation, "Let's go, I'll find you a place to spend the night!"

He dragged and dragged to Wang Jiadao's house.

Wang Jiadao's wife had gotten the news a long time ago, and was cheerfully sweeping the kang with a broom.

Sun Chenghai and Men Shulan stood in the corner of the room, their necks were stuck, and their faces were incompetent.After sweeping the kang, Wang Jiadao's wife took out a quilt and put it on, and said with a smile: "This bed is a new quilt, and it has not been covered twice in total. Let's cover it for the eldest daughter-in-law."

"I'm causing trouble to your family." Sun Chenghai said with a blushing face.

"What are you talking about!" Wang Jiadao's wife babbled, "You see, it's not easy for people to come to you from a long distance, but you have to treat them well! These two couples live a life of stumbling, noisy and troublesome days. It's a lively life, isn't it? But you can't keep making troubles, live well this time, and don't want to run anywhere..."

Sun Chenghai hurriedly interrupted her, and said to Shulan at the door: "At night, you and your aunt will squeeze first."

Men Shulan turned her face: "Then where do you sleep?"

"Of course I'll go back to sleep."

"No, I will sleep wherever you sleep!"

Sun Chenghai blushed and said, "Don't be silly, how can you sleep?"

"Where you sleep, there will be a place for me to sleep!" After Men Shulan finished speaking, she ran out, and Sun Chenghai hurriedly chased her out.

Men Shulan came to Sun Chenghai's room, and pushed the door open with a "bang".

Inside, a group of brothers were sitting around on the kang with their backs bare and chatting. When they turned around and saw her, a few of them without pants got into the blanket in fright.

nest.

Men Shulan swept the kang calmly: "Why is there no room? We both sleep on the kang feet, and there is a curtain between us, wouldn't it be enough?"

Sun Nerf booed: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't make too much noise behind the curtain with your second brother, it will make everyone suffer...unbearable at night!"

Men Shulan laughed along generously, and didn't care.

Sun Chenghai finally arrived and yelled at the room: "Shut up! Sleep on you!" Everyone huffed and got their heads covered, and Sun Dazi even pretended to be snoring.

Sun Chenghai grabbed Shulan the door, dragged it out, and slammed the door shut.Men Shulan straightened her legs but did not move, drawing a long dirt mark on the ground.

"Let's go! We must sleep at the village chief's house tonight!"

Men Shulan pulled out a hand, hugged a tree trunk desperately, and yelled wildly: "If I don't go, I won't go!" As she said, she bit Sun Chenghai's hand.

Sun Chenghai felt a sharp pain in his hand, and when he looked down, a row of tooth marks were deeply engraved on his hand, so deep that it seemed to ooze blood.

Sun Chenghai was in a hurry, and shouted: "Spoofing and selling crazy all day long, such an adult, why is he not afraid of being laughed at!" As soon as the words fell, Men Shulan stopped suddenly, neither shouting nor making trouble, just pointing straight He stared at Sun Chenghai intently.Sun Chenghai was a little scared, and he didn't dare to pull his hands any more.

After a stalemate for a long time, Sun Chenghai couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

Men Shulan pursed her lips, trembling slightly.

"Are you afraid of jokes? My old lady has been laughed at enough! From the day I beat you to run away from the wedding, I have become the biggest joke in the village. You just couldn't stand being laughed at for a day. How many years have I been laughed at by others? ?You now understand how I survived? This is a time of chaos. In order to find you, what work did I do? What hardship did I suffer? In order not to let others recognize that I am a woman, I put dust on my face every day , Make yourself more like a man than a man. I suffer so much, who can I talk to?" Men Shulan became more and more wronged as she talked, and she hugged the tree and cried "Wow".

Sun Chenghai was stunned for a long time, heaved a long sigh, and patted Men Shulan's hair helplessly.He frowned, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Go back to sleep, I swear to God, I won't run away this time."

Men Shulan let go of the tree, threw herself on Sun Chenghai and cried loudly.The cry echoed over Zhuangzi, the stars in the sky were clear and bright, and they all blinked their eyes trying to figure out, why do men have to make women feel wronged enough, so that men are willing to be at ease?
From here on, Men Shulan lived in Xiaowangzhuang and became a non-staff member of the county brigade.This daughter-in-law from Shandong is capable and straightforward, and she does more than half of the work of cooking and washing.The little warriors suddenly found that the rice became more delicious, and one sweet potato paste could make four kinds of confectionery.Everyone praised Shulan for her ingenuity, and affectionately called her sister-in-law.Only Sun Chenghai blushed all day long and hid when he saw her.

Until a long time later, people in the Wuyi County Brigade will miss this time countless times.In the bloody war years, these days were too quiet and too short.
