Chapter 114
Gengsheng asked subconsciously, "Where are you going home?"
"You, your grandfather's house." Dawa said.
Gengsheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "My home is here."
"What do you mean?" Zhong Dawa didn't understand, "You won't go back to your own house in the future?"
Self-reliance: "Dad, from the moment my father committed suicide, our original family was separated. It was mother, father, and you who gave me and the rebirth a complete family. After grandpa comes out, we will visit grandpa, but Our home is here, on Wengzhou Island."
"Don't talk like that." Da Wa waved her hand, "I want to cry when I say it. I won't go back if I don't go back. Why do you say I'm homeless?"
Rehabilitation: "We used to be homeless kids."
"I said it, don't say it anymore!" Dawa said with a stern face, "Do you want me to beat you up?"
Gengsheng said, you may not be able to beat me. If he really said that, Da Wa would definitely beat him, "Then I won't talk about it. Let's cook."
"When will your grandfather come out?" Erwa asked curiously.
Independently shook his head: "We don't know, neither do mother and father."
"Wait a minute!" The big baby suddenly remembered, "Zi Li, when you gave me your money, you said that the money was given by an uncle, why is there an uncle? How much are you two hiding from me?"
Self-reliance is incredible: "I, I said casually, how do you remember?"
"I have a good memory." Zhong Dawa snorted, "Who is Uncle?"
Sanwa looked at the self-reliance and then at the rejuvenation: "You two are so good, you hide so many things from eldest brother, aren't you afraid that eldest brother will ask his soldiers to beat you up?"
"Zhong Xiangnan, I want to beat you right now!" Da Wa pointed at him, "Please stay away from me."
Gengsheng stretched out his hand and pulled Sanwa into his arms: "Don't scare him. We won't talk about it, it was because the second and third babies were still young at that time, and Dad was afraid that they would go bald and talk out. Uncle is none other than Uncle Zhao. ,"
"Commander Zhao?" Dawa asked.
Gengsheng nodded: "Grandpa rescued Uncle Zhao a long time ago. Not many people know about it. If you talk about it, Uncle Zhao's family will be in danger."
"Did you two hear clearly?" The big baby looked at the second baby and the third baby.
Sanwa covered her mouth: "I didn't hear anything."
"Then let's cook." Da Wa got up and went to the kitchen. Seeing the half-pot of chicken and potatoes left at noon, Da Wa couldn't help but say, "If Ma Zhenxing's father didn't go to the front line, Ma Zhenxing would definitely be eating chicken at home right now."
Zhou Shufen was reluctant to kill chickens to buy pork. But as long as Ma Zhonghua knew that the Zhong family was delicious, and his two sons wanted to eat it, he would ask Zhou Shufen to cook it for the children.
Zili often plays with the Ma brothers, and he knows this very well: "Dad, Ma Zhenxing's father died, can he and his mother still live on the island?"
"It should be possible," Dawa said. "There are also family members of martyrs on the island. However, he can no longer live in his current home. This is the front line. Uncle Ma died, and their regiment must have a new leader. Ma Zhenxing has to move. Go out and make room for the new head."
Erwa hurriedly asked, "Will Ma Zhenxing go back to his hometown?"
"I don't know either." Dawa said, "Ask Ma Zhenxing tomorrow."
Self-reliance: "Ma Zhenxing must be very sad now, let's ask again in a few days."
"Okay. I'll listen to you." Dawa poured the leftovers into the pot, added a bowl of water, and poured the cut cabbage into it.
After seven o'clock, the five brothers closed the doors and windows, washed clean, and lay in bed without sleepiness.
The big baby sighed and sat up: "I want to see Ma Zhenxing."
"When we came up, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu hadn't come back. They must have been at Ma Zhenxing's house." Although the island is safe, there are no absolutes in the world. The elder was not at home, so he paid attention to the situation around him, and found that the east side was dark, "There must be a lot of people in his house at the moment, let's stop making trouble and listen to my mother's words."
Self-reliance: "Dad, if you can't sleep, take out your English book and read it from beginning to end."
"The first grade English?" Dawa asked.
Self-reliance: "English in the first year of high school."
"Then I'd better go to sleep." The big baby lay down and found that it was suddenly bright outside. He opened the window and looked, "Header Shen didn't go to Ma Zhenxing's house?"
Gengsheng slept in the lower bunk, their beds were against the window, the big baby opened the window, and he could see the light on the ground: "Big baby, where's your whistle? Take it out and blow it twice. If Headmaster Shen is not at home, Sun Wanru will definitely yell at us."
"Here." Erwa got down and threw the whistle on the table to Dawa.
The big baby took it: "Just blow twice?"
"Then how long do you want to play?" Gengsheng was surprised.
The big baby played with the whistle, and her eyes lit up: "I thought of it. Blow "Unity is Strength"."
"Can you blow?" He became suspicious. "This is a whistle, not a flute."
Big baby: "Try, try." After speaking, he coughed twice to clear his throat and put the whistle to his mouth.
Self-reliance, rebirth, Erwa and Sanwa subconsciously held their breath. But the four brothers were just afraid of disturbing the big baby, and never thought that the big baby could blow it out. The four brothers couldn't help but sit up when they heard the meaning.
"Brother, give me a try later." Erwa took the lead, "I'm going to blow—"
"What are you blowing, and you can't let people sleep at night?!"
With a roar, Erwa shivered with fright, and when she came back to her senses, she shouted, "I just want to blow! I won't sleep!"
"Second baby." Zi Li disagreed, "She is ill, don't bother with her."
Zhong Erwa snorted: "I'll just care about it today. Brother, give me the whistle. I'll blow it until dawn. I'll see if she can sleep."
"You can stop." Da Wa waved his hand, "You are so old, you can't even learn a national anthem, so what are you playing? It's us, not Sun Wanru, who are making you so loud that you can't sleep."
The second baby is insufficent and has a very poor sense of music. The older baby taught him to sing, and he could remember all the lyrics after listening to it twice, but even if he practiced it 20 times, the whole family who was transferred could not be found.
"Don't blow, don't blow." Erwa was so angry that she covered her head and fell asleep.
Gengsheng ignored him: "Dad, you have finished "Steel is Power", let me blow it."
"What is brother reborn?" Sanwa was very curious.
Think about it again: "Blowing "I am a Soldier"."
"Then I will play "Return from Targeting"." Sanwa said, "What will brother Zili play?"
Think for yourself: ""Nanniwan"."
"Ah?" Sanwa frowned, "Why did you choose this song?"
Self-reliance: "My father can sing."
"That's all." Da Wa said, "Go to sleep after blowing."
Erwa weakly said: "I also want to blow."
"You know nothing, what are you bragging about?" Dawa asked.
Erwa choked: "I won't, then I, then I'll play one, two, three, four."
"Whatever you want." Dawa was speechless to him.
Erwa stretched out her hand: "I will go first."
The big baby gave him a deep look: "I have convinced you." Then, she threw the whistle to him.
At the Ma's house a hundred or two hundred meters away, Jiang Qin and several family members of the military accompany Zhou Shufen and her two sons in the house. Song Zhaodi and Sister Duan boil water and cook in the kitchen.
Master Liu, political commissar Lu, Zhong Jianguo, Shen Xuancheng, the two political commissars, and Ma Zhonghua's political commissar surrounded the courtyard.
Zhong Jianguo saw that everyone was sitting and said nothing, and when he heard the bell tolling at half past eight, he asked, "Master, have you informed the parents and brothers of Lao Ma?"
"Notice." Master Liu said, "There is no phone at Lao Ma's house, and I don't know if I can receive the telegram."
Shen Xuancheng didn't understand: "What do you mean by not receiving?"
"Lao Ma's family is in the mountains." Master Liu said, "I used to stay in the southwestern mountainous area, and the postman runs once every two weeks."
Political Commissar Zhang frowned: "Then we won't wait for Lao Ma's parents and brothers?"
"Even if I can receive it today, it will take three or four days to get here." Master Liu calculated, "No wait. Xiao Zhou's family will be there tomorrow. A memorial service will be held in the morning the day after tomorrow, and the old horse will be sent to the mountain the day after tomorrow."
Zhong Jianguo: "What about Zhou Shufen and her two children?"
"Let's see what she means." Master Liu said, "If she still wants to stay on the island and send her old horse away, the army will build a small courtyard for her. If she doesn't want to, the Lu political commissar will contact the local area and take Comrade Zhou Shufen's information. The work is arranged, and the school for the two children is arranged."
Apart from them, there are the children and the neighbors of the Ma family. Zhong Jianguo was afraid that they would hear shouting everywhere, so he asked in a low voice, "Where's the pension?"
"According to the standard." Master Liu said, "I will add some myself."
"Then I'll add some more." Commissar Lu continued.
Zhong Jianguo: "Then I'll add some more. When you give it back to Zhou Shufen, you said it was from the army."
"I know." Master Liu sighed, "Xiao Zhong, Xiao Shen, you all go back and rest. I haven't slept once in the past few days. If I don't rest, my iron body will not be able to carry it."
Zhong Jianguo: "I'm fine. Head Shen, go back. Your two children are still young."
"It's still early." Shen Xuancheng waved his hand, "I, I'll sit with the old horse for a while."
This sat for a while, and sat until dawn the next day.
Song Zhaodi rubbed her eyes and came out, intending to go home to wash her face and brush her teeth, when she saw Mr. Liu and Political Commissar Lu lying on the table, Zhong Jianguo leaning on Political Commissar Zhang, kowtowing and kowtowing.
Song Zhaodi was really afraid that he would slam and knock a hole in the forehead. He quickly walked over and patted Zhong Jianguo on the shoulder: "Wake up."
Zhong Jianguo opened his eyes, froze for a moment, and apparently forgot where he was: "Is it dawn?"
"Yes." Song Zhaodi pointed to a group of people around him, "Wake them all up. The Zhou family should arrive later."
Zhong Jianguo nodded.
Mr. Liu and others went back, and Zhong Jianguo didn't leave, and helped Song Zhaodi cook, and the couple went home to see if the child was up. However, when got to the door of the house, heard loud noises, and after listening carefully, found that it was next door.
"What happened?" Zhong Jianguo thought to himself subconsciously.
Song Zhaodi grabbed his arm: "I told Zhou Shufen that I'll be there later. Let's go home, wash our faces, and have something to eat. I didn't eat last night."
Zhong Jianguo sighed, "It must be to ask the head of Shen where he went last night."
"I found that you really know Sun Wanru quite well." Song Zhaodi looked him up and down, "Have you dated women like Sun Wanru before?"
Zhong Jianguo glanced at her: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I've only had two women in my life, one is Bai Hua, who was introduced to me. The other is you. When I met Bai Hua, I felt that I was not too young. It's time to get married, and it's a little urgent to get married.
"When I met you, I wanted to find a mother for my three children. It wasn't in a hurry. It could be said to be a flash marriage. In the end, neither of you let me down.
"I'll just say, look at how much you're waiting for me." Song Zhaodi curled her lips, "I haven't seen you talk so much before." She pushed the door but didn't open it, so she rushed inside and shouted, "Daddy, open the door."
Sanwa ran out of the house: "Mother, Dad, you are back."
"Have you eaten yet?" Song Zhaodi asked.
Sanwa said while unlocking, "Brother Zili is doing it."
"What to eat?" Song Zhaodi was curious.
Sanwa: "scrambled eggs with shallots, fried yam with garlic leaves."
"You still cook two dishes?" Zhong Jianguo was a little surprised.
Sanwa smiled and said, "Big brother said to celebrate and eat something good."
"Celebrate what?" Song Zhaodi frowned slightly, "What good did Dawa do?"
Sanwa subconsciously glanced to the west, saw that Sun Wanru was not there, and took Song Zhaodi's hand: "Mother, let's go into the room and say, there are ears on the wall."
"You even know that partition walls have ears?" Zhong Jianguo laughed, "Sanwazi, you are only seven years old."
Sanwa: "My brother said it, not me." In the living room, they told their parents how they were angry with Sun Wanru last night.
After listening to Zhong Jianguo, he was speechless: "You guys are really idle, why are you messing with her?" Turning to Song Zhaodi, "I take back what I just said. Sun Wanru quarreled with Shen Xuancheng, and he must have complained to Shen Xuancheng. Headmaster Shen did not fight for her, but instead scolded her."
"I think so too." Song Zhaodi said, "You are not allowed to do this again in the future. When you blow your whistle, you will not only disturb Sun Wanru, but also the neighbors behind you."
Sanwa couldn't help blinking: "I don't know."
"Then I told you now, you have to remember it in the future." Song Zhaodi said.
Sanwa nodded and rolled her eyes: "I'm going to tell my brother?"
"Go." Song Zhaodi turned around and went out to wash her face and brush her teeth.
After dinner, Zhong Jianguo went to the camp, and Song Zhaodi took five children to Ma's house. Several children went to the Ma brothers, and Song Zhaodi went to Zhou Shufen. Song Zhaodi did not persuade Zhou Shufen to mourn, don't be sad and so on, because it was useless to say more, so she sat silently with Zhou Shufen.
In the evening, Zhou Shufen's parents and sister-in-law arrived, and Song Zhaodi took the child home.
When got home, warmed up the dishes made at noon and steamed buns, and the family went upstairs to rest when they had something to eat. Tomorrow, would like to get up early and go to Ma's house to help and hold a memorial service for Ma Zhong.
At noon on the fourth day of the new year, Ma Zhonghua was sent away. When Song Zhaodi was about to go back with a few children, she was stopped by Zhou Shufen. Zhou Shufen left Song Zhaodi's wife to eat at her house.
Song Zhaodi wanted to stay, but her five little tigers were like five rice buckets. She was afraid of scaring Zhou Shufen, so she told her to come back in the afternoon.
Zhou Shufen knew very well that she was not Song Zhaodi's opponent in terms of eloquence. Seeing that Song Zhaodi insisted on going back, she did not persuade her any further.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Song Zhaodi did not see Zhou Shufen when she arrived at Ma's house. Ma Zhenxing pointed upstairs, Song Zhaodi went upstairs but saw Zhou Shufen sorting out the boxes.
Song Zhaodi froze in her heart: "Are you going to leave?"
"No." Zhou Shufen shook her head, "Master Liu told me that tomorrow we will arrange for someone to build the house for us. Mrs. Duan said that it will be finished in ten days. If I pack it up sooner, I can move in as soon as possible, and give it to the new one. The head of the regiment makes room."
Song Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief: "Scare me, I thought you were going back with your parents."
"My home is not as good as your hometown Xiaosong Village." Zhou Shufen couldn't help sighing ahead of her hometown, "My child has to walk more than ten miles for elementary school, and twenty or thirty miles for middle school. Not for myself, but for my two children. , I can't go back either."
Song Zhaodi: "I can rest assured that you can think like this. There is revolution everywhere outside, and you may be locked in the cowshed if you talk more, and you go out to find guilt for yourself."
"I know." Zhou Shufen glanced towards the north face of the mountain, "The old horse is here, and I'm not going anywhere."
Song Zhaodi patted her shoulder: "I'll help you clean up."
"It's nothing, I'll take care of it myself." Zhou Shufen said, "My mother and sister-in-law were there, and I didn't let them move."
Song Zhaodi: "When will the two old people leave? I will accompany you to see them off."
"Tomorrow, my sister-in-law will go back first, and when my mother-in-law comes, my parents and my brother will go back." Zhou Shufen said.
Song Zhaodi wanted to say that it's better to stay for a few more days and accompany you. When she realized that something was wrong, what could her brother do when she stayed? Think about it, and tentatively asked, "Is your mother-in-law's family difficult to get along with?"
Zhou Shufen's eyes widened in disbelief: "Song Zhaodi, you are so scary!"
"Xiao Zhou, don't talk nonsense!" Mother Zhou went back to the guest room with her daughter-in-law when she saw Song Zhaodi coming, and hurriedly came out to remind her when she heard the voice.
Zhou Shufen waved her hand: "Mom, sister-in-law, you go back to the house." Then she asked, "Song Zhaodi, how did you guess it?"
"You said that your sister-in-law will go back." Song Zhaodi said, "I think your parents are in their fifties, and they are very strong. You don't need your brother to take care of you. There must be something wrong with your brother staying."
Zhou Shufen sighed: "The poor mountains, bad waters and many troublesome people, that is to say, the old horses and their hometown."
"I didn't hear you mention it." Song Zhaodi said.
Zhou Shufen: "Old Ma gives his parents 30 yuan a month. My mother-in-law gives 10 yuan to the eldest son and 10 yuan to the younger son. The whole family counts on Lao Ma for this salary, and they don't dare to make trouble."
"No wonder you don't even want to kill a chicken." Song Zhaodi glanced outside, "Did you give it to your parents too?"
Zhou Shufen: "Occasionally give it. My brother has five children, three daughters and two sons. If I don't help, I can't watch the children go hungry."
"Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "I heard that there is no land over there."
Zhou Shufen: "It's not that there isn't, there is little land. I used to pick tea. Now I can't get enough to eat, who still drinks tea." After a while, "Zhao Di, thank you for these few days."
"Why are you being polite to me?" Song Zhaodi said, "If I don't come, my eldest child will be so angry that he will smash the pot."
Speaking of the big baby, Zhou Shufen, who was very sad, couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this, Song Zhaodi told her a few childish Sun Wanru, and she added a meal to celebrate the next day.
Zhou Shufen smiled and sighed: "The five children of your family are so angry that they are not worth their lives."
"Don't talk about it, I'm really afraid that they will make people angry one day." Song Zhaodi said, "Especially the three children are not stingy, and the big one has a big temper. One day the two brothers beat people to death, I will No surprise."
Zhou Shufen: "No. The children you teach are sensible and know what they can and cannot do."
"Hopefully." Song Zhaodi sighed, "I sometimes hope that when I wake up, they are all grown up and sensible, so I won't worry about it anymore."
Zhou Shufen raised her eyebrows: "I thought you would say you have another one."
"Don't give birth." Song Zhaodi shook her head, "Having a child suffers."
Zhou Shufen was a little surprised, but when she thought about Song Zhaodi's usual behavior, she was not surprised.
Song Zhaodi chatted with Zhou Shufen for an afternoon, and found that she was sad when she mentioned Ma Zhonghua, but when it came to the child, she began to talk about what would happen in the future, and she was no longer worried that Zhou Shufen couldn't think about it.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the house built by the army for Zhou Shufen was completed.
In the evening, Song Zhaodi went to her and asked Zhou Shufen when to move, and she came to help.
Zhou Shufen said with a smile that before moving in two days, she would go to the new home to clean up. At that time, Song Zhaodi will not need to help her, and the soldiers under the old horse will come to help her move.
Seeing this, Song Zhaodi said that she would come back when she moved.
On the morning of the 19th day of the first lunar month, Song Zhaodi saw that the weather was fine, so she took out the quilt to dry. Seeing that Sister-in-law Duan was drying the quilt next door, Song Zhaodi said, "Auntie, let's go to Zhou Shufen later to see if we can help."
"Okay." Sister Duan said, "Xiao Zhou's new home should also be cleaned up."
Song Zhaodi: "Her mother, father and brother are all here, pack up—"
"Mr. Song, it's not good!"
Sister-in-law Duan and Song Zhaodi looked over together. Qu Zhuangzhuang was holding the door with one hand and his leg with the other, panting heavily.
Song Zhaodi asked subconsciously, "Did the baby fight with others?"
Qu Zhuangzhuang nodded and shook his head: "No. I can't explain a sentence or two, Teacher Song, hurry up, here, at the Ma's house, Dawa, Dawa is going to beat someone to death."
"What?!" Sister Duan exclaimed, "Xiao Song, hurry up, hurry up."
Song Zhaodi ran away.
Qu Zhuangzhuang sat on the ground and sighed, "I'm exhausted."
"Mr. Song, I'm looking for you." Jiang Qin ran towards him, "Follow me to the hospital."
Song Zhaodi's face changed suddenly: "In the hospital?"
"That's right." Jiang Qin pulled her to run.
Qu Zhuangzhuang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "Mr. Song, no—cough, no, it's not at the Ma's house. Teacher Song—" He hurriedly stood up.
"Qu Zhuangzhuang, wait a minute." Sister-in-law Duan ran out, "What's going on?"
Qu Zhuangzhuang waved his hand: "I can't wait. I'll tell you when I turn around and tell you that the eldest child is about to kill someone, so I have to go after Teacher Song."
Sister-in-law Duan was confused, but she was too anxious, so she followed up: "Isn't the eldest baby in the hospital?"
"The baby is not in the hospital, Ma Zhenxing's mother is in the hospital." Qu Zhuang said.
Sister-in-law Duan's face changed suddenly: "I'll go to Ma's house with you. Please tell me what happened. How could Dawa beat someone?"
"Dawa, don't beat him, if you beat him again, you'll be killed." Self-reliance desperately stopped Dawa. But the big baby is fierce, like a furious lion, without his strong self-reliance, he can't stop it, "Rebirth, come and help."
Gengsheng waved his hand: "Wait a while." One kicked the opposite person's chest.
"Mother is here." Zi Li said loudly.
The baby stopped instantly.
Regeneration retracted the foot.
When Sister Duan arrived, she saw six people lying on the ground, blood everywhere. Sister-in-law Duan had lived for most of her life, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she shouted at the people around: "Don't look at it, hurry up and call a car and take the person to the hospital."
"You don't need to call a car, you can't die." Da Wa blurted out.
Sister Duan's eyes darkened: "Zhong Dawa, you, just wait for your mother to come back and clean you up."
"If my mother knew about it, she would still think that I was beaten lightly." The big baby rubbed her fists, "Damn, it's all red."
Self-reliance has a headache: "Dad, be obedient, don't make your mother angry."
"I understand my mother, and my mother won't be angry with me." Dawa pointed at the children who were standing at the door with a big knife and not allowing outsiders to come in, "You guys keep me safe, I'll find a rope and put these six An old bastard tied up."
Sister-in-law Duan saw that she said no, she was so angry that her chest hurt, and asked the daughter of Political Commissar Zhang, "What's going on?"
"We don't know either." The 16- or 17-year-old girl's face turned pale. "When we heard the noise, we came out to look and saw the big brothers beating them. We wanted to go and pull them away. Knives and axes are standing at the door, saying that anyone who dares to come in will be cut."
Sister-in-law Duan suddenly felt that her first half of her life had been in vain: "Qu Zhuangzhuang, you say."
"We are looking for a big baby to play today, and the big baby wants to call Ma Zhenxing." Qu Zhuang said, "Ma Zhenxing said that his grandparents were quarreling with his grandmother and grandfather, and his two uncles were very fierce, and he couldn't leave.
"The eldest asked Ma Zhenxing if his grandmother bullied his mother. Ma Zhenxing said it seemed so. The eldest said we wouldn't leave either. If they dared to bully Aunt Zhou, we would help Ma Zhenxing beat him.
"I was in the courtyard with Dawa and Sanwa. A few of them were in the house listening to self-reliance telling stories. Gengsheng and Ma Zhenxing were sitting on the chairs. We suddenly heard a thump and ran in to see that Aunt Zhou came from upstairs. When he rolled down, his forehead was covered in blood, and Zhen Gang cried out in fright.
"We were all stunned. When we recovered, Aunt Zhou was carried to the hospital by her brother and his father. When these six people wanted to run away, the eldest child called us to stop them. That's all."
Sister-in-law Duan staggered.
Qu Zhuangzhuang hurriedly supported her: "Grandma Liu, you, what's the matter with you?"
"Self-reliance, open the door." Sister Duan said while holding the door.
Independently shook his head: "What I said doesn't count, they listen to Dawa's words."
"Big baby!" Sister-in-law Duan stared at him, "If you don't obey, I'll tell your dad to beat you with a belt."
