Chapter 2811 Daya Village ()

The driver glanced at Tan Shuangxi and smiled: "That's right."

Tan Shuangxi has served in the military for many years, and he knows there is something in his words as soon as he hears them. But he was an outsider after all, so it was better not to get involved in the affairs of the village, so he immediately said haha:

"You raise so many ducks, right? You also provide the local duck meat?"

"Part of it, part of it. We mainly sell duck eggs here, plus the eliminated egg-laying ducks. The meat ducks are mostly produced in the villages of Bunzen and Bungo." The driver smiled, "But the braised duck you eat at the market Duck, old duck pot, etc. are all from our village.”

"The eliminated egg-laying ducks will be very thin. Will they taste too dry?" Zhang Laicai asked.

"You don't know something about this. Just because it doesn't lay eggs, the nutrients it eats will accumulate in its body. After it stops laying eggs, it can be fed for a while longer. The meat is tight, rich in oil, and tastes fresh. It is better than sixty days. The white-striped duck is much more delicious right out of the cage.”

"You still know about 'nutrition', you are quite knowledgeable!"

"My family also raises ducks. The technicians from the Tiandihui talk about it all day long, and the myna has learned it too." The coachman smiled.

"You're still driving the car when you've been raising ducks for so long? You're so diligent!"

"Shit! You don't come out to drive the cart if you have money." The coachman laughed and scolded, "I'm not a cheap person, and I can't help it. My son doesn't want to herd ducks with me, and he doesn't want to work in the fields. He thinks he will be strictly controlled when he goes to work as a worker in the city. , the work was too tiring, and he was scolded by the foreman. I said that when his father delivered firewood to Mr. Liu in the city, he would get up when it was dark and deliver it to the place just before noon. You argued a lot and got a lot of slaps from the butler! What did the foreman say to you? "

"How do you say it?" Zhang Laicai asked with interest.

"He said that the foreman is a human being and the workers are also human beings. Why can he scold me? He scolded me and quit. He also said that if he had been delivering firewood and the housekeeper had beaten him, he would have had to beat him back."

"Good boy, ambitious!" Tan Shuangxi praised.

"A man with great ambition is like a bird." The coachman lamented, "He knows nothing. If he wants to fight, I can beat up ten housekeepers! But afterwards, Mr. Liu sent a picture to the county government office, and my butt was about to be blown off." , Mr. Liu’s land can’t be cultivated, and the family is going to drink the northwest wind? It means that the Australians have come and there are ways to survive, and they can make a living without having to fish and dig the land. This kid just thinks he has the ability. "

"The factory has stopped working, so what will we do now?" Zhang Laicai started gossiping.

"After leaving the factory, I followed a businessman to do business. I have been there for more than half a year, but there is no news at all. A letter came a few days ago. The place where the letter was sent was called 'Hirado'. I asked the police and found out it was A place in a foreign country. He said that although he has not made any money, he has gained a lot of knowledge - what is this nonsense? Can his knowledge be used as food? "The coachman continued to complain about his son while smoking. , "In a blink of an eye, I'm already twenty-five, I don't even have a wife, I do useless things, and I don't see him getting any money back, so I have to go out and make money."

"When a businessman makes money quickly, he will be prosperous in a few years. Why are he worried about not having a wife?" Tan Shuangxi said with a smile.

"I don't want him to be prosperous, just to live a peaceful life. Of course there are businessmen who make a fortune, and there are also many who jump into the sea and hang themselves. There is no business that can make a profit without losing money..." At this point, he probably felt the same. A little unlucky, he spat towards the outside of the car, "I can't count on whether he's developed or not - he's ambitious."

Zhang Laicai suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know there is Li Anze in your village?"

"I know, I know, his family is in Sanpai." The coachman nodded repeatedly, "His father used to be a carpenter. He was a good craftsman! It's a pity that he died early. Now the family is headed by his sister and brother-in-law." He suddenly realized something, " You said you were going on a business trip, is this his home?"

Tan Shuangxi secretly scolded Zhang Laicai for being troublesome! He roughly knew the location of Li Anze's house, but it had been too long and it was a bit blurry. Moreover, after the Australians came, the zoning had been adjusted. He originally planned to get off the car at the No. 2 village office and find the village chief to lead the way.

The coachman didn't say anything, but judging from his gloomy expression, he already understood that they were on some business trip.

The carriage stopped in front of Erpai's village office. The two got out of the car and went to find the village chief, but there was no one there. The village accountant said that the village went to the commune for a meeting, and the stationed police officers also went out.

"Is his family still in the same place?" Tan Shuangxi asked.

"It's still in the same place. The house has been renovated." The accountant roughly guessed their "official business", "How about I find someone..."

"There's no need to look for someone. I probably know where his home is."

"Then you go over first. I'll find someone to wait for the village chief. I'll let him over as soon as he comes back."

After leaving the village office, he and Zhang Laicai did not take the main road. Instead, they turned down a country gravel road lined with large banyan trees. They walked for more than two miles along a patch of fast-growing forest and paddy fields, and then crossed a wooden bridge... Seven big white geese squawked loudly and waved past the two people's feet like a demonstration. Turn right again... Tan Shuangxi muttered, Zhang Lai didn't make a sound and kept following behind.

Although it had only been three or four years since he last visited Daya Village, Tan Shuangxi felt as if he had been away for many years. The faces and northern accents passing by made him feel as if he was from another world.

"It's probably right here, I'm not sure." Tan Shuangxi pointed to a row of red tile roofs in front of him hidden outside the woods.

The two of them turned a few corners along the path, and suddenly they saw a small bay. Along the coast were stone piers, and several not-so-long wooden planks stretched into the sea, filled with fishing boats. I walked around the pier and asked a few people. Instead they walked along a path to a corner of the bay. Here a yard is enclosed by a half-person-high fence. The yard is kept very clean, with several rows of vegetables planted there. The most eye-catching thing is a tall reed mat shed in the yard, with stacks of opened planks and profiles stacked underneath, a large carpentry bench littered with carpenter tools, and bags of scrap materials piled in the corner.

There was no one in the yard, it was quiet.

"Is there anyone there?" Tan Shuangxi called towards the house. It was incredibly quiet here. The breeze blew, the leaves rustled softly, and the smell of fireworks came from the two tiled houses in the middle of the yard.

Zhang Laicai sometimes wanted to say something knowledgeable. At this time, he picked up a piece of grass, chewed it, and sighed: "The family conditions are really good! Why bother to join the army?"

"For young people..." Tan Shuangxi said, "Aren't we the same? We didn't force you to join the army with a knife."

"I do it just to earn a living. Who says being a soldier has a high salary?" Zhang Laicai said.

The front door was closed, so the two had to walk half a circle around the yard. There are many logs piled in the backyard behind the house. There is a man in his thirties sitting on the pile of logs, holding a book and reading. He read so enthusiastically that it wasn't until Tan Shuangxi coughed loudly twice that he took his eyes away from the book and looked at the two of them.

Although his expression was a little surprised, he did not show any panic.

"What's the matter? Do you want to buy anything? Comrades." His northern accent revealed his immigration status.

Tan Shuangxi said: "We are looking for Li Anze's family members."

The man smiled, and the white teeth exposed in his lips made people feel bright and sunny.

"I'm his brother-in-law, and his sister is in the house. The fence door is open, so you can come in and talk."

Although he had been invited, Tan Shuangxi was a little unable to move forward. In just a few steps, he walked very slowly. Zhang Laicai was as unreliable as ever, hiding behind him and dawdling.

Li Anze's sister came out and there was no mistaking her. Her facial features were exactly the same as Li Anze's. She was dressed simply and had her hair tied up.

Tan Shuangxi looked at Zhang Laicai. He deliberately didn't raise his head and only stared at his shoes. Tan Shuangxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said to Sister Li: "We are Li Anze's comrades-in-arms."

"Come in and drink water," she said. "I saw it through the window and thought they were discussing business. Why didn't you ask someone to come in?" She scolded her husband in a low voice, with a smile on her face, "It belongs to my brother. Something?"

"No, I won't go in..." Tan Shuangxi replied subconsciously. In fact, he didn't know whether he should go in or stay outside.

"Why are you so polite!" Sister Li was still full of enthusiasm, but this enthusiasm made Tan Shuangxi's heart twitch even more.

The brother-in-law looked at the expressions of the two of them and understood a little. He took his wife's hand and asked them, "Is something wrong with Little Plum?"

Tan Shuangxi nodded silently, saluted, and whispered: "Lieutenant Li Anze was killed in action. We are here to inform his family."

Sister Li screamed and covered her face with her hands, as if she was about to faint. Her brother-in-law quickly supported her.

"Don't cry." Brother-in-law said calmly, then turned to the two of them, "What's wrong? Where is he?"

Zhang Laicai took out the notice and handed it into the man's hand.

Sister Li buried her cry in the man's arms. The brother-in-law had no choice but to take her inside the house and sit down. Tan Shuangxi and Zhang Laicai, who were at a loss what to do, had no choice but to follow into the house and sit down on the opposite side carefully.

Sitting on the wooden chair in the main room, she began to mutter to herself: "A good person must go to some kind of military academy. He said that he has a lot of potential after going there, and he has a lot of potential! What's more, he said that he is a 'disciple of the emperor'! If he wants to be an officer, he has to go to a military academy." Commanding the Sword... It's only been a few years, and I've got a 'Notice'... What's the matter! If you let the Li family die, how can I see my father after I die..."

Sister Li was crying and complaining, and her whining voice made the two of them feel sad. They had seen such scenes so many times that they no longer shed tears, but now these words seemed to be hammering in their hearts. It brought back many sad things from the past that had been buried.

"Stop yelling and tell them to finish." Brother-in-law advised as if giving an order, looking at Tan Shuangxi. Probably because Zhang Laicai had just taken out the notice, he didn't like this mourner very much.
