20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 147 Jiang Hu’s appearance and appearance
Fengtian, a secret house in the east of the city.

The sun sets over the west mountain, like a popped egg yolk, and the afterglow of the setting sun flows everywhere.

It was dusk all over the yard. It seemed warm, but it was actually very cold.

"Crack-clang!"

Jiang Chenghai sat on the small bench at the door of the room, chopping firewood with one hand.

A sound of "sizzling" came from the kitchen behind her. Xiaohua was working hard to learn how to cook. The fragrant aroma of meat soon drifted outside the door.

The two big yellow dogs in the yard were salivating and seemed even more stupid than before. Fortunately, they were not dead and could still bark.

No matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary farmhouse, extremely ordinary.

Jiang Xiaodao went to pick up his third uncle from Shi Hospital.

Sun Chengmo's injury has not yet recovered, but the plague is now spreading, and it is too dangerous to stay here any longer, so he has to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

After a while, the editor's basket was filled with firewood. Jiang Chenghai stood up on his knees, picked up firewood and a bench, turned and walked into the kitchen.

Xiaohua was concentrating on blowing the fire and cooking, and didn't notice anyone coming in.

"Here, sit down!" Jiang Chenghai handed over the small bench, "The firewood has been chopped for you."

Only then did Xiaohua come back to her senses, stood up quickly, and said, "Ah, thank you, sir!"

"Don't call me master, we're not from a wealthy family. Besides, whose master chops firewood by himself!" Jiang Chenghai smiled and glanced into the pot, but didn't understand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Uh... stew randomly." Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed, "I don't know how to do anything else yet, but I'm learning from the young master!"

"Oh, haha, it's good to stew it randomly. It has everything and is convenient to eat."

Jiang Chenghai looked at the vegetable soup in the pot, including cabbage dumplings, potato cubes, frozen tofu, vermicelli noodles, and a few big slices of snow-white fat meat, without any fussy eyes.

After that, he looked at Xiaohua again and found that in just two years, this little girl had grown a lot in size. She no longer had two braids tied up, but had a big braid combed behind her head. But he was still wearing a shabby coat.

The person is becoming more and more beautiful, but one look at those hands reveals that they were born with a hard life.

"How old are you?" Jiang Chenghai asked.

"I'll be seventeen during the Chinese New Year." Xiaohua answered truthfully.

"Oh, you're a big girl now!" Jiang Chenghai took out a five-yuan ticket from his pocket, "Do you have any pocket money? Here, it's the Chinese New Year. Go buy two new clothes. Xiaoyan is the only maid like you, so You can’t dress too shabbily.”

Xiaohua didn't dare to take it, so she stood on tiptoe and looked into the inner room.

After a while, Hu Xiaoyan's voice came from inside: "Xiaohua, please thank me quickly!"

Xiaohua then thanked her profusely and accepted the money.

Jiang Chenghai was not displeased. It was a good thing to have rules at home.

After giving the money, as soon as she returned to the outhouse, Hu Xiaoyan opened the door and said, "Dad, Xiaodao will be back soon. Come inside and sit for a while. It's very hot on the kang."

"Well, good."

Jiang Chenghai walked to the back room a little uncomfortable and sat down on the edge of the kang.

Hu Xiaoyan followed behind with a wooden wheelchair, climbed onto the kang, poured a glass of water for her father on the kang table, and then used her arms to move her buttocks on the kang, saying she wanted to find a mattress for her father.

As soon as the cabinet door opened, Jiang Chenghai suddenly caught a glimpse of a pile of papers stacked on top of the quilt, and asked, "What is that?"

"This?" Hu Xiaoyan put the pieces of paper on the kang table, "This is the list."

"List?" Jiang Chenghai looked confused, "What list?"

"They are the two Jiang Xiang faction in the south." Hu Xiaoyan explained, "Dad, didn't you say they were related to the Qing Dynasty? There is usually nothing going on at the secret entrance of the trail, so I asked them to look at those two people. If you have seen anyone, let Xiaodao write it down."

Jiang Chenghai suddenly understood and nodded, and said: "That Tan Renjun! Previously, I asked the fourth and seventh children to keep an eye on them for a while. Those two people should be clean. They didn't want to muddy the waters. They were just trying to trick them everywhere. You What are you doing with these things?"

Jiang Chenghai didn't criticize Xiaoyan for her useless work, but he was worried that if she didn't manage well, she would easily get burned.

Hu Xiaoyan lowered her eyes, as if she was a little bit shocked, and murmured in a low voice: "There was nothing wrong with me before, so I just let them keep an eye on me, just in case it becomes useful someday... I just wanted to help Xiaodao, and I didn't I know how to help.”

As she spoke, her eyes involuntarily glanced at her disabled legs again.

The setting sun outside the window drew a fluffy golden border on her face.

Jiang Chenghai was not Jiang Xiaodao. At a glance, he immediately understood his daughter-in-law's thoughts and concerns.

"Xiaoyan, actually, you don't need to be like this."

"father."

"I know Xiaodao!" Jiang Chenghai said with relief, "Although this boy has many faults, he also has merits. He is a little stubborn, but because of this energy, I dare say that as long as he is still alive, I won’t leave you alone.”

"I know that too."

Hu Xiaoyan never doubted that Guojiang Xiaodao would go back on its promise and end up giving up.

This was something she firmly believed from the second time she saw him.But--

"You don't need to prove that you are not a burden." Jiang Chenghai continued, "Ever since that time, when you guessed that I was fine based on a candle, I knew that you were not a burden! "

Hu Xiaoyan lowered her head silently. To be honest, she felt quite happy.

"Besides, I heard from Xiaodao, didn't you discipline those little ones very clearly?" Jiang Chenghai added, "Don't think they are just helping the kids, so they are easy to discipline. The most difficult thing in the world to discipline is People. If you want others to obey you, just having a gun won't do it; just having money won't do it; even having both a gun and money may not work."

"What should we do?" Hu Xiaoyan asked.

"Want to hear the truth?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded.

"I have been running around for more than forty years. I have seen green mountains and green forests, markets and rivers and lakes, and I have seen a lot of big and small bosses. It was not until the end that I believed, or admitted -"

Jiang Chenghai took a deep breath and said with some dejection: "You can't learn this thing. Some people are born to be fools!"

"Born?" Hu Xiaoyan thought for a moment, "Does Zhou Yunfu count?"

"Of course!" Jiang Chenghai replied without hesitation, "It's just that he is old now and has no children or grandchildren to rely on, so he has become suspicious, more and more mean and vicious, but he was not like this when he was young. You haven't seen him But - if I could do it over again, I would still be willing to be his champion!"

"But now he's defeated."

"So what? The ups and downs of success and failure are inherently impermanent."

From time to time, the heaven and the earth have the same strength, and transporting heroes is not free!
Jiang Chenghai sighed and said: "Some people, as long as he is around, can twist everyone into a rope! He may not be rich or powerful, but he always has energy in him that makes people want to follow him. If Xiaodao could see Zhou Yunfu when he was young, he would also be convinced!"

Hu Xiaoyan couldn't empathize with her: "This...maybe it's because I haven't met such a person before."

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Chenghai asked, "Maybe you are this kind of person yourself."

"Me?" Hu Xiaoyan shook her head quickly, "I'm just a woman, and I'm still a disabled person."

"Hey! The world doesn't care about your origin or gender. As long as you have skills, everyone will recognize you as your man! You see, your aunt is also a woman, isn't she still having a good time?"

"Dad, you praise me too much."

Jiang Chenghai nodded and said: "Maybe! After all, those little fanboys are not a problem. You have been influenced by it since you were a child. If you use Mrs. Feng's tricks, you may be able to cope with it, but you may not be able to deal with it in the future. . Take that Zhao Guoyan for example, what will you do if I’m not here?”

"Kill him." Hu Xiaoyan did not hesitate at all. This was also for the safety of the trail.

"Kill! I must kill! The question is how to kill?"

"How to kill?"

Hu Xiaoyan didn't react for a moment. Dad was definitely not asking about the method of killing people.

Jiang Chenghai explained: "Xiaoyan, when I first became a master, I did a special job for the old man. Although the old man suppressed people at once, he couldn't make everyone submit, otherwise he would become the emperor. . There is always some stubbornness, and he doesn’t want to accept the credit even though he has lost. At this time, the old man will treat him to a meal of wine and let go of the stubbornness in front of all the brothers. "

Hu Xiaoyan knew it right away and said quickly: "Then, Dad, will you kill that person?"

"God doesn't know, ghosts don't know."

Jiang Chenghai acquiesced: "Xiaoyan, the so-called Jianghu, to put it bluntly, means saying one thing and doing another. Both face and lizi are indispensable."

In fact, this set of principles goes beyond the arena.

Hu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Dad, I understand."

"Ok!"

Jiang Chenghai pondered for a moment, then suddenly added: "People say that you don't have any doubts at forty, and you know your destiny at fifty. In fact, I have known for a long time that I am not the material to be the boss. Many people are the same, but they don't want to admit it. That’s all.”

"Dad, the wings of 'Owl' are so big! Even those little fanboys have heard of it."

"What's the use of Man'er?" Jiang Chenghai laughed at himself, "How many people do I have? Six! Six of them can come out as moles, why should I deceive myself? I have a brother who is still hanging around on the mountain. There are already about two hundred people in the year, if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to take them!”

Hu Xiaoyan didn't know how to answer the call.

Jiang Chenghai went on to say: "I'm not the material for a job, and Xiaodao doesn't look like him at the moment, but if Xiaodao is with you, maybe - I can only say maybe - the two of you can get along. Make some appearance."

"father?"

"There are also advantages in the small way. You are diligent and spitting is a thorn. If you can straighten out the faults in your mouth, you are more suitable to be a face. Xiaoyan, you are more suitable to be a face. You have to be more ruthless and have a harder heart. Alas, maybe Lao Liu was right when he said that if Xiaodao followed me, he would become a backer and a thief."

"father?"

"The ones I trust the most are the fourth and the seventh. It's a pity. If the fourth is still here, I can help you two!"

"Dad?" Hu Xiaoyan sensed something was wrong and immediately asked in a panic, "You...what are you going to do?"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the yard.

Letter from Bei Feng - Shen Guoliang is running away!
