Siheyuan: tough to the end

Chapter 88 Sending the Fourth Uncle and Grandpa Back

With one foot on the accelerator, it only takes three to five minutes to go from the Red Star Rolling Mill to the courtyard.

After parking the car at the entrance of the alley, Zhou Weiguo took his fourth uncle and grandfather to his house...

The two of them went to the kitchen first. After Zhou Weiguo contributed all the sorghum rice and stick noodles at home, he picked it up and found that it weighed almost sixty or seventy kilograms!
Zhou Weiguo and Guan Mingyue's monthly coarse grain rations together are about this amount. However, Zhou Weiguo is not used to eating coarse grains, so Guan Mingyue handles the monthly coarse grains for his family to Guan's mother who comes to visit her for the autumn breeze, so Zhou Weiguo is not used to eating coarse grains. The country's grain reserves are not very large.

Disliked by the lack of coarse grains, Zhou Weiguo asked his fourth uncle and grandfather to wait for a while, then he took twenty kilograms of rice and noodles and went to Yanbu Gui's house in the front yard.

At this moment, Yan Bugui hadn't come back yet, and there was only one third mother at home. When she saw Zhou Weiguo coming to the door carrying things, she immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Hey! Wei Guo, are you looking for something to do with my old man?"

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand, "No, Third Aunt! It's like this. I want to exchange these twenty kilograms of rice and noodles with your family for some coarse grains..."

"Ah?" The third aunt was stunned, "Weiguo, do you want to exchange for food?"

"Ang... Third aunt, I won't take advantage of you. These twenty kilograms of fine grains will be exchanged for your family's forty kilograms of coarse grains!"

In this era, the monthly ration of fine grains was very small, so rice and noodles were extremely precious. Generally speaking, according to the market price, this pound of fine grains could be exchanged for at least three pounds of coarse grains.

Zhou Weiguo deliberately exchanged one-third less because he did not want to get involved with the Yanbu family!So when Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, the smile on the third aunt's face was as if she had chewed Xuanmai, and she couldn't stop at all.

"Oh, how wonderful is this! ... Well, Wei Guo, just wait a moment, and Third Aunt will change it for you!"

Carrying the grain bag, the third aunt quickly rushed to the kitchen, weighed it carefully, poured it out and checked it again, and then happily loaded forty kilograms of stick noodles for Zhou Weiguo.

"Weiguo, you name it, forty pounds is just a little more..."

Ho ho, pull it down!Just a little more?It is estimated to be just forty pounds, so I don’t need to carry more than one tael!

Zhou Weiguo, who knew his family well and knew his family well, did not bother to talk to the third aunt. After weighing the matter twice, he said goodbye to the third aunt.

Carrying coarse grains home, I just scraped together a hundred catties, "Fourth uncle, grandpa, do you think this grain is enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough..." My fourth uncle originally wanted to borrow twenty or thirty kilograms, but who would have imagined that Zhou Weiguo would be able to give him so much!

The fourth uncle and grandpa were not the kind of villain who would eat with bowls and smash pots with them. He looked at Zhou Weiguo with a worried look on his face, "Son, you gave me all the food in the house, what will you do with your mouth? Mr. I can’t let you starve too, can I?”

"Hey! Fourth Uncle, grandpa, don't worry about it, my wife and I usually eat in the work canteen! Don't worry, I won't be hungry..."

Zhou Weiguo carried his things and walked out. He loaded the grain into the car, and then said to his fourth uncle, "Let's go, my fourth uncle, I will take you back! I just happened to go to Xianghe County with you to identify myself!"

"It can't be done, it can't be done..." This can only take him back. This two hundred-mile journey will not take more than a day!

In the old-fashioned thinking of the fourth uncle, this car is the most precious object. There is nothing an old farmer like him can do... Besides, after traveling so far, this car won't be damaged, right?
"Okay, fourth uncle! You have to carry this [-] kilograms of stuff alone for these two hundred miles. How are you going to get back? Get in the car..."

After forcefully asking his fourth uncle to get into the car, Zhou Weiguo stepped on the accelerator without any politeness. The jeep roared like a wild horse that had escaped the reins and sped out in an instant.

After leaving Sijiu City, the jeep was bumping along the way, and soon the fourth uncle and grandpa got trapped.

When Zhou Weiguo was about to ask for directions, he turned around and saw the old man's upper and lower eyelids fighting, nodding his head again and again, looking drowsy.

So Zhou Weiguo hurriedly woke him up, "Hey, fourth uncle, please don't sleep now. I still want you to help me show the way!"

When the fourth uncle heard this, he immediately woke up with a start. He patted his face with some annoyance, and then sighed and said: "This man will never accept it... I remember when I joined the army to kill the Japanese, I marched continuously. I was still alive and well for two days and two nights, but now I can’t, I’m getting old!”

"Hey...fourth uncle, have you ever killed a Japanese?"

Zhou Weiguo also became interested, chatting with the old man while driving.

"That's...I was a soldier of the district team in our county back then!"

"Ouch! Fourth uncle, you really don't show your real face, and you don't show your real face when you show your real face... Tell me about the time when you fought against the Japanese!"

"Those Japs are just a bunch of inhuman beasts... They are worse than pigs and dogs!"

As he spoke, the fourth uncle's breathing became heavy, and his eyes revealed a murderous look that only someone who had been on the battlefield could have.

I saw my fourth uncle gritting his back teeth tightly and saying with a look of hatred on his face: "When the Japanese raided our village, I saw with my own eyes that they drove the villagers together and then aimed their machine guns at them and shot them. If the captain hadn't held me back at that time, I would have gone up and fought with these beasts!... The devil didn't even let the baby go, and put him on the pillar of fire..."

As he spoke, tears filled the eyes of the old man, as if he had returned to the age of wars...

The fourth uncle and grandpa talked a lot, from the Panjiayu massacre to the mass graves in Pingyang County. When it came to the excitement, the old man clenched his fists tightly, even the veins burst out, and he couldn't wait to go back again. Go back to when you were young and kill more Japanese!

Listening to his fourth uncle's personal experience and the history of blood and tears told by the Japs everywhere, Zhou Weiguo was filled with hatred. At this time, he was also filled with anger and passion, and wished he could wear it for another few decades. Kill those beasts with your own hands!
Zhou Weiguo accompanied the old man, scolding him all the way. At this time, he really couldn't figure out how some people in later generations could say such things as forgiving those war criminals.

One city in particular was obviously the one that suffered the most massacres by the invaders at that time, but hey!Less than a hundred years later, there was actually a summer festival!

Your uncle, when these dogs were born, their brains were crushed by the door?
Eh!The more I write, the more angry I get!Forget it, let’s get back to the topic!Don’t compete with those guys who have lost their minds in the back door... lest they put you on the same starting line and then be defeated by them with their rich experience!
Ambition to eat Hulu meat, laugh at the thirst to drink Xiongnu blood!
