Duan Xiaowei was among the new recruits carrying the steamed buns, but when they got on the bus just now, Tian Yuzhu and Wang Xiudie were sitting in the driver's seat, so they didn't notice him.
When I got off the car, I found that the young man was also there. He happily called me sister-in-law.
Tian Yuzhu nodded slightly: "..."
Unexpectedly, just by nodding, such a picture flashed through Tian Yuzhu's mind.
When Duan Xiaowei and his comrades were carrying steamed buns, they accidentally stepped on a sliding rock. As a result, their feet slipped and they lost their balance, and the whole basket of steamed buns scattered into the ravine.
this……
What's going on?
Tian Yuzhu quickly shook her head. It felt like she was daydreaming, and she was fully awake.
In Wang Xiu Di's view, she was just stunned for a moment.
So he asked her, "Yuzhu, are you feeling unwell?"
"Oh, no." Tian Yuzhu couldn't calm down for a long time.
Could it be that she could predict the future even in broad daylight?
In the past, we used memory to find the location and time of the accident. Yesterday's earthquake was hinted at by a dream, but it also happened two or three days in advance.
So what is the situation now? Can she foresee what is about to happen?
Could it be that she has the ability to evolve?
Thinking of this, Tian Yuzhu secretly pinched her palms a few times. The pain was normal, she was not dreaming.
Forget it, let’s not worry about the changes in myself for now. Since it doesn’t hurt, I’ll think about it later.
"Um...Brother Duan Xiaowei, please change someone." Tian Yuzhu quickly called the new recruit. No matter what, she had to save the basket of steamed buns first.
Duan Xiaowei and others stopped, not knowing what was going on.
Tian Yuzhu hurriedly explained: "Duan Xiaowei and I are from the same hometown, I want to ask him something."
This makes sense. When fellow villagers meet each other outside, their eyes are filled with tears.
So a new recruit replaced Duan Xiaowei without hesitation.
Duan Xiaowei hurried over to her and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to ask me?"
The others continued to move forward, with the new recruits carrying the steamed buns walking in front, followed by the wives of the soldiers.
The mountain road is very narrow, with a forest on one side and a steep and deep ravine on the other.
Tian Yuzhu could only tell him for fun: "We've got private plots being distributed in our hometown. Did you know about this?"
"Really? That's great!" Duan Xiaowei, a new recruit, had no place to make a phone call, and it would take at least a month for a letter to reach his father.
Tian Yuzhu knew about the division of private plots after she persuaded Shi Weiqiang that day. Shi Zhentang was worried and called the village committee to inquire about the follow-up situation.
At this point, she could only force herself to chat: "Of course it's true. The village party secretary over there said it himself."
Duan Xiaowei rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "That's great! My dad is the only one at home. He can grow the vegetables he wants to eat if he has some land!"
"That's a good thing."
When we were talking about this, the recruit in front stopped and asked us to walk slower because the road was unstable due to the rocks.
As they spoke, they walked slowly over. Duan Xiaowei wanted to go and help, but Tian Yuzhu quickly stopped him: "Don't, the road is narrow and it will be more crowded if you go over. Let them walk slowly."
She thought to herself, brother, you are the trouble that spilled the steamed buns, you can’t get close to me.
Fortunately, Duan Xiaowei listened to her and did not squeeze through.
Soon, the new recruits carrying the steamed buns passed safely one by one, and Tian Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Xiaowei was no longer in a hurry to squeeze forward. Instead, he suddenly whispered, "Sister-in-law, there's something I've been wanting to tell you, but you must not tell Captain Shi, or he'll kill me."
"What's up?"
"It's like this..." Duan Xiaowei looked at the people ahead and saw they weren't paying attention, so he continued in a low voice, "Didn't one of our comrades go to Shuochi Town to rescue the people yesterday? When they came back today to change shifts, they said there was a rumor among the townspeople that a wizard had predicted this earthquake, so everyone knew it was coming a long time ago."
"You believe this, but don't follow my lead and talk nonsense." Tian Yuzhu thought that this matter had spread too widely, and it seemed that quite a few people knew about it.
Duan Xiaowei scratched his head awkwardly. "To be honest, when I heard my comrades say that, the first person I thought of was the female Bodhisattva who saved us in Xinyi Town. I wonder if I have a good connection with Buddha, but it's as if this kind of thing happens wherever I go."
"laugh!"
Tian Yuzhu laughed and said, "Then you really haven't been trained enough. Don't let your imagination run wild. There are so many coincidences in this world. Besides, there are no such amazing people in the world. Don't mention this matter again. Go help your comrades."
"Yes." Duan Xiaowei immediately agreed and ran up to help.
He felt that his sister-in-law was very kind, worthy of being from his hometown. Chatting with her was as natural as talking to his own sister.
Tian Yuzhu fell into deep thought. It seemed that she had to be more careful in the future.
…
There are only about twenty households in the small tribe. Because they are close to the military area and Shuochi Town, most people can speak Chinese and communication is not a problem.
Seeing the soldiers and their wives carrying food, the village chief quickly asked everyone to line up.
The people in the border areas live an even more impoverished life. Almost none of the villagers queuing up have neat clothes. Regardless of gender, age or status, their clothes and pants are patched up.
Occasionally there are a few who can't even afford shoes and just walk barefoot on the ground.
Most of the shoes that can be worn are tattered.
Not only did Tian Yuzhu feel uncomfortable watching this situation, but Wang Xiudie and Zhao Cui's eyes were already red.
In those days, life was relatively easy for military wives, at least the men received a fixed allowance every month.
Although they couldn't wear fashionable clothes, at least they didn't have patches. Even if there were, there would only be one patch occasionally in an inconspicuous place.
The military wives immediately took out the snacks in their pockets, whether they were just a few melon seeds or beans, and gave them to the poor baby.
As Wang Xiudi distributed steamed buns, she lamented, "Life was already difficult, and now the earthquake has collapsed the house. Sigh! When will they be able to live a good life?"
Zhao Cui's face was filled with worry. "To be honest, sister-in-law, although my hometown is also poor, at least we have a way to farm. Look at them, they all live on this hill. Even if they are given private plots, they can't find water to irrigate them. At most, they can only grow vegetables, not staple food. They will starve."
Several women in the village heard their conversation and secretly wiped away their tears.
The land in their village is currently public land, all located at the foot of the mountain near the river, and the geographical location is similar to that of a military area.
However, the harvest from the public land was not good, so the work points were naturally low. People could only make do with what they had every day, and it was considered good if they could fill their stomachs. Most of the time, everyone was still hungry.
Tian Yuzhu also discovered a problem: the more difficult the place is, the more children each household has.
She glanced out and saw at least three children following a mother.
