Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 506: Return or not?

When they arrived at their destination, it was already late at night. Gu Weijun raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Drive in from this path."

"Yes!"

"Who?"

"parking!"

As soon as the car entered the village, several militia soldiers armed with steel guns emerged from the haystacks on both sides of the road.

The leader pointed a flashlight at the jeep and said, "Get out of the car!"

"Third uncle, it's me!"

"Gu Weijun!" Gu Weijun could tell by sight alone that the leader was the village militia captain, Gu Sande - the names are listed in order. He opened the door and got out of the car and shouted.

Gu Sande used his flashlight to look at Wei Jun's face and recognized him, "Hey, Jun, you're back!"

"Are you worried about your family?"

"Hey, it's okay. Everything is fine in our village, not even a scratch!"

"Your brother Erjun is doing well too."

"There is still a female educated youth hanging around behind her butt every day."

"Come on, come into the village with me."

Gu Sande put the Sanba Gai behind him and directed the other militiamen, "You continue to be vigilant!"

"I'll bring the army home."

In fact, the whole village is related to each other. Counting back several lifetimes, they all have the same ancestor, and this Gu Sande is a close relative of Grandpa Gu Weijun's family, and he has not yet reached the fifth server.

"I heard from the Second Army that you are now being sent to the United States to find out the truth?"

"Why did this time come?"

"It's just in time for our Gada earthquake."

"Fortunately, the government told us in advance, and nothing happened to us."

From the village entrance to Gu Weijun's grandfather's house, the third uncle Gu didn't stop talking.

"It seems like we guys haven't had a drink together yet, right?"

"You are also far away from the capital. Even if you are busy at work, you will never come back."

"Uncle, your army is back!" Gu Sande woke up all the sleeping people in Gu Weijun's family with a roar, then patted his butt and ran away, "Okay, we're here, I'll go on watch tomorrow. Let’s drink together.”

Grandpa Gu Weijun's angry curse came from the dark courtyard: "Sandoku, why are you howling in the middle of the night like a weakling?"

"When the army comes back, wouldn't it be enough to just shout softly from the den in the courtyard?"

"This damn thing is all awake"

Grandpa Gu Weijun emerged from a half-height nest wearing a cotton-padded jacket. When Gu Weijun came closer, he raised the kerosene lamp in his hand and shook it.

There was a bit of dissatisfaction in his mouth, "Dajun, why are you back at this time?"

"Don't you know about the earthquake in our house?"

"I'm not writing you a letter saying that we are all fine."

"Why do you have to come back?"

"Come on, come in first. There's not even a place to sleep now. What do you think you're going to do back here?"

As soon as Gu Weijun walked into the courtyard, he discovered that the previous adobe houses had collapsed, but now there were several temporary dens dug out in the middle of the courtyard.

If you didn't know about this kind of burrows and passed by them in the middle of the night, you would have thought they were all grave mounds.
When I entered the den with my grandfather, I saw my grandma also wearing clothes and lighting up her cigarette pipe. As soon as they met, she complained about him, "Dajun, what do you think you are doing back at this time?"

"How dangerous!"

"Besides, we have nothing to do here!"

"Haha, grandma, what's the matter? We don't even have a place to live." Gu Weijun took out a pack of White Rabbit toffee from his pocket and handed it to grandma, "Young and old, you can smoke some cigarettes and take one." Sugar, sweet mouth.”

"Why are you spending so much money again?"

"You are also married and have children. You must know how to save money to support your family!" Grandma took the white rabbit in one hand without opening it, and gave Gu Weijun another lesson.

"What's the big deal?" "When the Japanese forced us to merge villages and towns, they burned down our houses and cars. We had no choice. We also lived in caves."

"The conditions are not as good as now. We are short of food and clothing."

"Wait a minute, I'll cook dumplings for you."

"The year is not over yet."

"Haha, thank you for the milk. Don't worry, there is no shortage of things at home. We both earn wages, and hers is not low either."

"Well, let's take a look at it sometime."

"Well, isn't it true that your great-grandson is still young and I have been posted abroad again."

"Brother, you are back."

While they were chatting, Gu Weimin lifted the quilt from the nest and came in.

Five adults suddenly squeezed into the dark and small den, and there was no room to move their butts.

"Well, Weimin, how are you? Are you injured in this earthquake?"

"No, brother, why are you back from abroad at this time?"

"I contacted a lot of supplies from abroad to support our disaster-stricken areas, including food and other supplies."

"I have to come here to coordinate and see which ones are most urgently needed so that we can make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Come on, Grand Army, young comrades from the People's Liberation Army, let's eat a bowl of dumplings first. I put the garlic and soy sauce directly in the bowl. This nest is temporary, so I haven't done it properly. The fart is too big, and there will be reverberations when you fart. of."

"Haha, milk, if I eat badly tonight, won't the food be spoiled?"

"Doesn't it smell like fart? Isn't it impossible to sleep?"

"No!"

"Don't talk nonsense with the army!" Grandpa scolded Grandma, "Are you going to sleep at home tonight?"

"Let's sleep together at home and squeeze in together. You sleep with us, and this little comrade goes to sleep with him and Banggeng in the den in the Second Army."

"No, I'll come over to take a look, deliver some things and then go back to Yingkou. I still have to arrange the docking of supplies, so I'm free tonight."

"Well, did you bring it in from Yingkou Port? Back then, the little devils transported the soybeans they robbed from our Northeast and sold them out of Yingkou Port."

"Yes, that's a deep-water port that can accommodate cargo ships of tens of thousands of tons."

"Ah, how many were brought here?"

"Well, we have everything, bedding, clothes, food, oil, and tents."

"This is the first batch."

"Master, here is 1000 yuan. Take it and when the spring thaws, you can build a brick house for your home!"

"No! I can't take this money. The families are divided and everyone lives their own lives. Besides, it's not about helping the poor!"

"Master, in addition to my father, my wife also works in our family. Isn't there a disaster at home now?"

"That's no use. You have hands and feet, and you can't starve to death. If you can't even build a house for your own home, you are just lazy. You will starve to death in vain."

After pushing and shoving several times, grandpa finally reluctantly accepted 100 yuan as a filial piety to his grandson.

After eating dumplings and drinking dumpling soup, Gu Weijun and the soldiers said goodbye to his grandparents. He pulled his younger brother Gu Weimin aside, handed him 200 yuan, and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, are you scared by this earthquake?"

"Have you ever wondered why my brother didn't transfer me directly back to the capital in the first place?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Weimin shook his head, reached out to ask Gu Weijun for a cigarette and lit it, with a sigh in his words, "I told Xiufang what you told me when I came back."

"Xiufang gave me a lesson right away."

"How can a dignified, seven-foot-tall man think about asking his family and brother for help whenever something happens?"

"If you don't even have this fighting spirit, you don't deserve to pursue her!"

"So I didn't write home."

"Brother, I made an agreement with Xiu Fang. The two of us will spend a year learning foreign languages!"

"Xiu Fang actually doesn't necessarily want to go back to the capital where there is no place for her."
