That girl is good in every way, except that she is too filial."
Old lady Liu next door is about the same age as Old lady Xu. They often quarrel, but they have a good relationship.
She looked at the eggs in Old Lady Xu's hand and suddenly felt that the sweet potato porridge in the bowl was no longer fragrant.
She said sourly: "Yes, yes, your granddaughter is the most filial!"
After showing off, the old lady took a big bite and said, "Oh my god, why are today's eggs so delicious!"
Old Lady Liu couldn't stand it any longer. She shoved him away with a sullen look on her face: "Go away, go back to your house and show off!"
Old Mrs. Xu looked at the dregs of porridge in the old sister's bowl and couldn't help but say a few words: "This porridge is too watery. Once I pee, my stomach will be empty."
Old Lady Liu thought of her five grandchildren and sighed softly, "The little ones are eating me out of money. Those kids are eating more than adults. If we don't save some food, the family won't have enough food until the day of food distribution."
Old Mrs. Xu: “…”
It's causing hatred!
Knowing that there are few people in her family, he still said this on purpose!
…
Shifeng Village is ten kilometers away from the town.
The walk takes about two hours.
Xu Jiajia had only walked a third of the way when she became listless.
When Xu Jianguo was about to carry her, a 28-inch truck appeared.
Xu Jianguo saw the man clearly and looked surprised: “Shen boy, did you buy a bicycle?”
Not only are bicycles expensive and require tickets, they are also in short supply.
If you don’t have the ability, you can’t buy it at all.
This guy has something!
"Uncle, I borrowed this from my comrade. I'll take you wherever you're going."
"No, no, there's not enough room for us. There are so many of us." Xu Jianguo said, and pulled Xu Jiajia over again: "My girl, it was Shen who saved you when you fell into the river last time. Thank him quickly."
Xu Jiajia patted Shen Yuebai and said, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday that you saved me?"
Shen Yuebai said bluntly: “There’s nothing to say.”
Xu Jianguo took in the interaction between the two and asked, "Did you meet yesterday?"
When Xu Jiajia saw him, she remembered what she had forgotten last night. She dropped a bombshell: "Dad, he is your future son-in-law."
Xu Jianguo couldn't hide the look in his eyes: "What's going on?"
Xu Jiajia recounted the story of their meeting, and at the end, she counted Shen Yuebai's advantages on her fingers: "He's tall, has a good figure, has a salary, and gives me 60 yuan a month. More importantly, even if we get married, I can stay at home."
After these words, Xu Jianguo's anger disappeared without a trace. He stared at Shen Yuebai for a few seconds: "I heard that when you first joined the army, you only made six or seven yuan a month?"
"Well, the salary is not high when you first get there, but it's easy to get promoted if you go on missions." Shen Yuebai was able to climb to the deputy battalion commander in six years, all by risking his life.
Mrs. Xu was very satisfied no matter how she looked at it: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly and cancel the engagement first."
I was worried that Jia Jia would break off the engagement and not find anyone better.
Don't worry now.
Shen Yuebai wanted Xu Jiajia to sit on the horizontal bar, but was afraid of affecting her reputation. He looked at Old Lady Xu and said, "Grandma Xu sits in the front, and Comrade Xu sits in the back."
Everyone else had arrangements, except Xu Jianguo. He was dumbfounded: "What about me?"
Before Shen Yuebai could speak, Old Lady Xu spoke first: “Of course we’ll walk. It’s not like we haven’t walked before. We’ll wait for you at the intersection.”
Xu Jianguo: "So I'm the redundant one?"
Old Mrs. Xu sat on the horizontal bar: "It's good that you know."
After Xu Jiajia sat on it, Shen Yuebai said, "Uncle, put your feet on the diagonal bar and hold the vertical bar under the faucet with your hands."
Xu Jianguo hesitated a bit: "What a shame it would be if I fell!"
Old Mrs. Xu slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't you know how to hold on tight?"
Xu Jianguo felt very aggrieved: "Mom, there are outsiders here, can't you give me some face?"
Old Lady Xu glared at him: “Shen boy is not an outsider, he is one of us.”
In the end, Xu Jianguo got on the bicycle.
Although the weight on both sides was unbalanced, Shen Yuebai rode very steadily and at a high speed, and was not affected at the bends.
With so many people in one car, it feels like the Wuling Hongguang is overloaded.
The road was uneven, and Xu Jiajia was afraid of falling, so she simply put her hand on Shen Yuebai's waist.
The soft hand across his waist was like a burning fire.
Shen Yuebai's body suddenly froze, his breathing gradually became heavier, and his heart was completely confused.
When my mind is in a mess, I can’t concentrate on riding my bike.
If you are not careful, the steering wheel will tilt 90 degrees.
Xu Jiajia leaned against Shen Yuebai's back, but he didn't dare to be distracted at this moment. He quickly straightened the steering wheel to avoid a collective rollover.
Xu Jianguo was so frightened that his face turned pale: “Shen boy, can you do it? No, I will walk.”
Old Mrs. Xu was also scared: “Old Third, say less and don’t disturb Shen Xiaozi from riding his bike.”
When Xu Jiajia heard Old Lady Xu calling the third brother, she remembered that the book said Xu Jianguo originally had four brothers and sisters.
He is the third child.
One day in 1945, a group of Japanese invaders entered the village and surrounded the entire village.
They demanded to know the whereabouts of the People's Liberation Army.
The villagers remained silent, and no one spoke.
The Japanese soldiers were so angry that they killed more than ten villagers without digging out any information.
Among them are Xu Jianguo’s eldest brother, second brother and younger sister.
He was able to escape because he had a high fever that day and Old Mrs. Xu took him to see a doctor in town, not in the village.
A family of six.
Three of them were killed by the Japanese at once.
When Old Mrs. Xu heard the news, she was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the ground.
After waking up, she stopped crying and making a fuss. She seemed like a different person and even went to learn skills from others.
