Chapter 236 I call you aunt, you must fulfill your aunt's duties
"I was rescued by the guerrillas and spent half a year recovering from my injuries. You all know how severe the situation was in 1939 and 1940. The guerrillas paid a lot to protect me."
"After I recovered from my injury, I wanted to go back to my old unit, but the troops were all separated. The guerrillas were also in a very difficult situation, and their morale was unstable.
"When I was rescued, I brought with me several captured guns. I was naturally considered a core member. If I leave again, the team will really fall apart. They took care of me for half a year, and a soldier sacrificed to protect me. We can't be so heartless and ungrateful."
Li Zhongfa blushed when asked by Liu Zhengqing, but he had a clear conscience, so he talked about the time when he temporarily left the team.
"In 1944, our small guerrilla unit was incorporated into a platoon, and I was the platoon leader."
But some people just like to make trouble.
Lu Huaishui didn't want to hear about what happened 44 years later, but instead echoed what happened earlier: "The old company commander is right. I cannot repay your kindness with my life. Look at how big your grandson is now."
“.”
"Can you please stop making trouble? How can you say that to me? Isn't your grandson already a grown-up?"
"I was injured and then went back to work in the rear. We are the same. Old Captain, please don't be anxious! Don't let the younger generation laugh at you."
“Ahem…”
"Grandpas and grandmas, I'm going to go out for a while."
Li Ye stood up and walked out with a smile.
Some of the old guys’ stories from the past are worth listening to, but some are better not to be listened to.
Given Li Ye's identity, it would be a bit of an eyesore for him to stay here at this moment.
The reason why Li Zhongfa met Grandma Wu Juying was not clearly recorded in Li Ye's memory. Apparently, Li Zhongfa did not tell his children and grandchildren about it in detail at the time.
However, after a little thought, Li Ye was able to review most of the situation.
Li Zhongfa thought the medical worker had died, and then he met Wu Juying in the guerrillas. Although he was seriously injured, she took good care of him for half a year, and his cold and lonely heart was warmed again.
Then it was natural for Li Kaijian to come into being. Otherwise, according to the common phenomenon in the team at that time, Li Zhongfa could only start a family after winning!
This is probably the case with Liu Zhengqing and Gao Shuyi, which is why, although Liu Zhengqing is one year younger than Li Zhongfa, their children are a whole generation apart.
It’s just that Liu Muhan’s parents never left the team and were promoted normally, unlike Li Zhongfa, who was a company commander in 1939 and became a platoon leader in 1944.
After Li Ye came out, he went to the front desk to check out.
Because they hadn't finished eating yet, Li Ye asked about the approximate cost, paid some money in advance, and asked them not to charge anyone else if they came to pay.
However, as soon as he handed the money to the waiter, Liu Muyang and Liu Muhan walked over quickly.
"Li Ye, what are you doing? How can I let you pay the bill? No, no, no."
My cheap uncle Liu Muyang quickly stopped him and tried to snatch the money the waiter had just collected.
"It's okay. When I take Grandpa to Shanghai in the future, I'll be invited back by you."
Li Ye chuckled and tried to stop him, while taking out a two-dollar bill and handing it to the waiter.
The waiter quickly put away the Jefferson and said to Liu Muyang with a smile, "This gentleman has already paid the bill. You can come back tonight or tomorrow to treat him."
Are you kidding? Two dollars can be exchanged for sixteen or seventeen bucks on the black market these days, which is more than his weekly salary. There is absolutely no reason for him to return it after getting it.
"What are you doing? I promised to treat you."
Liu Muyang felt very embarrassed, but Liu Muhan smiled and said, "Okay, brother, our nephew is a famous rich man, so don't show off in front of him."
"Haha, that's right. Come on, I'll treat my nephew to some champagne."
Li Ye: “.”
Liu Muyang took Li Ye to find a place to sit in the hall, ordered three glasses of champagne and fruit tarts, and then started chatting.
"Student Li Ye, I've actually always been curious about you."
Liu Muyang smiled and said, "My father told me and my sister about the book "Lush" last year, saying it was very interesting. After I read it, I found it to be very interesting.
However, my sister and I both believed that Seven Inch Blade was a writer who was good at spy themes, and that he would definitely publish more spy-themed works in the future.
The second time I saw your work, it was about historical wars, and then my father recommended "North Wind Flying" to us.
Then my sister made a bet with me, saying that your next work will definitely change the subject. Originally, we had to wait for your new work to come out before we could know the winner, but now that we have met you, can you tell us who won? "
“.”
【Your sister won, but I don’t want to tell you. 】
Li Ye looked at Liu Muhan in surprise for a few times and found that she was also looking at him with burning eyes, like a lottery player holding a lottery ticket and waiting for the prize to be drawn.
So Li Ye asked curiously: "Can you two tell me first, what is your bet?"
Liu Muyang smiled and raised a finger and said, "A motorcycle, a ladies' model."
Li Ye took a breath and gave a thumbs up to express his admiration.
If you want a motorcycle from the 1980s, especially a ladies' model, then basically the only channel is import.
Although Shanghai is a very open-minded city, and Liu Muyang's identity and occupation also bring him various conveniences, but giving his sister a motorcycle as a bet, it has to be said that he is really generous and really loves his sister.
Think about how Li Ye treated his two step-sisters, Li Juan and Li Ying. He only solved the problem of pocket money, but they were admired like a hero. Then Liu Muhan must be so happy to have such a brother.
"Well, my next work will probably be co-authored with my classmates from Kyoto University, and it will be about history!"
Li Ye was playing a trick, because his "A Song of Ice and Fire" has already been released, so of course it is not the next book.
"Haha, I guessed right this time."
Liu Muyang was obviously somewhat proud, while Liu Muhan, who had lost the bet, looked at his brother with disdain and uttered a few unclear words.
Li Ye's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he could barely make out words like "We won the first time".
Li Ye asked Liu Muhan curiously, "Why do you think my next work will be about a different subject?"
Liu Muhan stared at Li Ye for a long time before saying, "Your writing skills are not better than others, but every time you choose a topic, it is full of new ideas.
So I think you will not be satisfied with resting on your laurels, but will be brave enough to innovate, so that those who laugh at you will never catch up with you. "
“.”
Li Ye was surprised that Liu Muhan's evaluation of him was so direct.
Compared with the writers of this era, his writing style certainly cannot be described as "outstanding". After all, the intellectuals of this era bury their thoughts and energy in books all day long.
Back then, Li Ye's energy was mostly occupied by World of Warcraft, King of Glory, PUBG, girls and other good friends. He also had to work, so he had very limited time to devote to writing.
Therefore, Li Ye’s self-evaluation of his writing style is just “online” to be fair.
However, Li Ye then realized what Liu Muhan had just said as "sneer".
Li Ye was a little confused, and then he began to think carefully whether he had offended anyone.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't remember any enemies he had in the writer circle.
Because since Li Ye joined the Writers Association, although he has been invited to many discussions and exchanges, he never went. The people he knows in the circle can be counted on one hand, so how could he have enemies?
"Student Liu, who are you referring to as the person who laughed at me?"
"There's a generation gap! Remember to call me aunt from now on,"
Liu Muhan lost the bet and was obviously unhappy.
She first glanced at Li Ye with sharp eyes, and then said: "I only know one Chai Conan and one Wan Zhiyue.
They said that Seven-inch Blade's "North Wind Flying" was a fantasy description that was divorced from reality, and that you were promoting the remnants of feudalism."
"In addition, they also said that your book, Deserters in the War, cannot even be called a literary work. It completely ignores the actual battlefield situation and is purely a reflection of some people's propaganda garbage."
“.”
Li Ye smiled and said nonchalantly: "I never thought that other people's evaluation of me would be so harsh!"
Liu Muhan looked at Li Ye with a smile and said, "Aren't you going to fight back? Compared to your Seven-inch Blade, those two people are completely unknown and unknown."
But Liu Muyang dissuaded him, "Li Ye, don't listen to your aunt. There are too many such things. The more you pay attention to them, the more excited they will be. There is no need to get angry with them, otherwise they will annoy you to death sooner or later."
"Brother, what you said is not right," Liu Muhan objected, "Those people are clearly using Li Ye to gain attention. If we don't punish them severely, they will become even more aggressive in the future. I don't know how many people will follow them blindly!"
“.”
Li Ye silently looked at the Liu siblings and found that Liu Muyang showed mature rationality and calmness, while the eyes of "Aunt" Liu Muhan were full of encouragement and instigation for Li Ye.
[Go on! Go on! If you are a man, just fuck them! ]
However, Li Ye is well aware of the behavior of "riding on the popularity", so since joining the Writers Association, he has continuously received invitations for various discussions and exchanges, but he has never participated in any of them, just to avoid being involved in gossip.
Especially since this time it involves "Deserter in Fire", there is no need for him to show up.
"Let's not waste our time thinking about it. I was bitten by two dogs, I can't bite them back, right?
If you really bite back, you will fall into their trap. The vicious dogs want us humans to give up our smart brains and compete with them to see who can bark louder and who can bark louder."
“.”
The Liu brothers and sisters looked at each other, and after a long time, Liu Muyang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Liu Muhan, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, said: "Nephew, if you spread this, it will probably make them so angry that they vomit blood. Do you want to try it?"
I'll give you a try. When I get into a fight with them, your father, the great god, will come in handy, right?
Those who are trying to get attention are trying to drag me into the quagmire they are good at and pester me.
You, a smart girl, want me to get into the arena you "control" and fight with my opponents. What is your purpose?
What Li Ye didn't see was that Liu Muyang, who was laughing happily, was stepping on his sister under the table.
"Mu Han, please stop teasing your nephew. Since he calls you aunt, you should have the awareness of an elder and fulfill your duties as an aunt."
Liu Muhan slowly turned his head and glanced at his brother coldly.
"Do I need to tell you that? Just take care of yourself~"
