Chapter 357 You Are Their Eyes

Upon hearing the sad news, the three brothers were all dumbfounded!

Zheng Lianfeng didn't waste time talking to them. He just imitated his partner's enthusiasm in doing ideological work for the soldiers on weekdays and gave a few people an ideological lesson.

Junzi and Huazi were already extremely frightened. They knew Zheng Lianfeng was not joking, so they listened more seriously than the other.

I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to memorize it and would have no food to eat tomorrow.

Qiangzicai was fed up with listening to his nonsense, but he didn't dare to confront him openly, so he lowered his head and thought about it.

Zheng Lianfeng saw it but ignored him.

After giving them ideological education, he put all the food in the house into the cupboard.

Yang Dongya watched him lock the cabinet and take away the keys, feeling very uncomfortable.

By doing this, he clearly doesn't trust her.

This made Yang Dongya feel a little panicked, but she couldn't do anything about him.

Now she is in a dilemma.

If she follows Zheng Lianfeng, Qiangzi will report her to the police and she might be called back home soon. But if she doesn't listen to Zheng Lianfeng, he will also send her back to Yang's house.

Except for Xiao Shitou and Dani, everyone else couldn't sleep at night.

Junzi and Huazi were worried about how to earn work points tomorrow, while Qiangzi was simply hungry.

He only ate a few bites of the nest head at night, and gave the rest to Zheng Lianfeng.

He wanted to ask Yang Dongya to cook for him, but all the food was locked up.

Speaking of which, Qiangzi was lucky. In an era when everyone was hungry, he could eat meat once a month.

Zheng Lianfeng sent his allowance home every month, and his mother and grandmother spoiled him. They always kept all the delicious food close to him. It could be said that he had never been as hungry as he was today in his entire life.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, his stomach growling, and he was so hungry that even breathing felt a little labored.

But there was nothing he could do.

I woke up several times because I was hungry throughout the night. I finally made it to dawn, but when I opened my eyes, Junzi and Huazi were gone.

The whole room was silent.

Qiangzi felt the urge to pee and wanted to call Yang Dongya for help, but he heard nothing for a long time.

Being hungry and having to hold his urine, Qiangzi had never felt so powerless and humiliated before!

"Yang Dongya! I'll count to three, if you don't get out of here..."

Qiangzi shouted towards the door at the top of his voice.

The next second, he saw Yang Dongya passing by his window holding a bundle of clothes.

"Yang Dongya!" Qiangzi shouted again.

But Yang Dongya seemed to be deaf and didn't even turn his head.

Qiangzi was furious and wanted to pick up the things on the kang table and throw them out the window, but he had already thrown everything on the kang, including the things on the table, away, so what else was there for him to do?

He couldn't get anyone to respond even if he shouted. He wanted to throw something but had nothing to throw! Qiangzi had never felt so helpless and terrified as he did at that moment.

On the other hand, Junzi and Huazi remembered Zheng Lianfeng's words clearly and followed Qi Fang's team to work in the fields early.

Seeing that they were two children, Qi Fang took special care of them when assigning them tasks, and only gave them the task of weeding.

Although Junzi and Huazi grew up in the village, they spent their days doing nothing but playing and never did any serious farm work.

After only pulling for an hour, both of them were exhausted and out of breath.

I only ate one black-faced steamed bun yesterday, and that was not enough to satisfy my hunger.

The sun overhead was still burning their backs.

Tired, hungry and sunburned.

Not long after, Huazi sat on the ground wiping his tears.

"You know how hard it is?"

Suddenly, Qi Fang's voice came from above my head.

"Woo woo woo... I don't want to work anymore. I will be obedient from now on!"

After all, Huazi was only a five-year-old child, and his heart was fragile. He couldn't bear it and surrendered immediately.

Among the three children, Qi Fang felt pity for the youngest one.

After all, I am still young and don’t understand anything.

Adhering to the principle of correcting each one at a time, Qi Fang sat next to him.

"Hua Zi, there is no job that is not tiring, but there were many brothers and sisters who were not much older than you who begged for such tiring work but could not even do it."

After hearing this, Huazi forgot to cry.

He looked at Qi Fang with suspicion.

How could anyone beg to do such tiring work? He didn't believe it!

Qi Fang looked towards the south and paused before she slowly told him about the tragic war.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression reached the final stage of the offensive, and both sides were already blood-thirsty.

In order to protect the transportation lines on the southern border, the Expeditionary Force launched an offensive against the devils.

But the border terrain is complex and the Japanese city walls are impregnable.

The national army, which had been fighting the war for thirteen years, was already very short of manpower.

At the last moment, even the child soldiers recruited from the army went to the battlefield...

As Qi Fang spoke, the soldiers a few steps away also quietly pricked up their ears.

"Before going to the battlefield, some reporters interviewed these brothers and sisters and asked them what they wanted to do most after the war."

There were still tears in Hua Zi's eyes, but his eyes were fixed on Qi Fang, as if he was waiting for her to continue.

"Some said that after the war, they would go home to herd cattle and farm."

"Some say, become an apprentice and go to a big city."

"But…"

"But what?" Huazi's fists were already clenched tightly. He couldn't wait to ask: "Did my brothers and sisters drive the Japanese away?"

Even the soldiers raised their heads and looked at Qi Fang with burning eyes.

Qi Fang lowered his eyes and looked at the young face in front of him.

After a pause, he said, "He ran away."

Hearing that the child soldiers had won, Huazi clapped his hands happily.

Only the soldiers remembered Qi Fang's "but".

"Director Qi, what did you just say?"

Hearing this, Qi Fang raised her head and looked at another equally childish face.

"But none of those brothers and sisters came back, and all 7,000 child soldiers died on the battlefield..."

When Huazi heard that all the child soldiers were dead, he burst into tears.

"I don't want the child soldiers to die, I want them to come back! I want to kill those hateful devils!"

The soldier standing by also had red eyes and looked very upset.

Qi Fang touched Huazi's head, and waited until he calmed down a little before continuing, "The child soldiers can't come back, so cherish your current life, understand? Every day you waste is exactly what the child soldiers long for. You are their eyes, you are their successors, and you will take over the tasks that the child soldiers have not completed in the future. Don't embarrass them, understand?"

After hearing the last sentence, Huazi and Junzi lowered their heads in shame.

"Director Qi, I'm sorry!" The soldier said with red eyes, "I was not a human being before, I'm sorry to those child soldiers!"

"And me, I will never do bad things again!" Huazi's voice was still twitching.

But his eyes became extremely strong!
