The house was in disarray and had a musty smell.
Just because this is the warehouse of a wealthy family. Of course, in the Northeastern people's terminology, it is not called a warehouse, but a warehouse.
The warehouse only has a small window facing east, and the sun is shining in from the outside. But the window was too small, leaving a patch of light one foot square on the west wall.
Shang Zhen and the others slept in this warehouse all night, and they laid a thick layer of hay on the ground.
"Get up, get up, let the sun shine in, the house is getting rotten, and we are all getting rotten too!" Wang Laomao shouted at around eight o'clock in the morning.
Amidst his shouts, some of the soldiers sat up, while others were still lying on the hay.
Those who sat up were those who had joined them later, such as Guan Tiedou and the others, and those who did not sit up were all the old people who had joined them and had died together with Mr. Wang.
"You little bastard, why don't you get up? Take off your pants and throw them in the sun. Your pockets will get rancid too!" Mr. Wang went up and grabbed the dustpan's ears.
In fact, everyone in the room had woken up early, but no one was willing to move.
They were too tired from running around these days and just met up with the 691st Regiment yesterday.
Originally, they had a half-hearted fight with the people from the 691st Regiment at first, but then the 691st Regiment actually found a warehouse for them to live in. You know, this treatment is not low!
If it is the kind of army with bad military discipline, it will be fine. It will naturally drive away the people, but Lu Cao's regiment will never do this.
So where can they find a house in their temporary station while they are on the march? Those who can live in the house are officers of sufficient rank or wounded.
Mr. Wang and the others saw yesterday that people from the 691st Regiment even borrowed door panels from ordinary people and slept outside with straw on them.
And why are they treated like this? Shang Zhen and the others guessed that it was because they escorted Gao Huaide and Gao Huaide told the truth about the matter.
Otherwise, why would Li Zhengming, who was so angry at the beginning, keep shouting at them later?
However, they finally rendezvoused with the 691st Regiment, and now that there is no combat mission, it is rare to lie down in the room, so even if they wake up, no one is willing to get up. This has aroused Mr. Wang's dissatisfaction.
It's just that he was dissatisfied with the noise, but others were even more dissatisfied.
"Oh, father-in-law, are you annoying or not?" Little Dustpan is the youngest and naturally the most sleepy. How has he ever been afraid of Old Man Wang?
"Little calf, get up quickly!" Mr. Wang reached out to pull the little dustpan's ears.
"Okay, I can't offend you. Get up and let go!" said the little dustpan.
"I'll let go as soon as you get up." Mr. Wang said.
"Oh, if you let go, I'll get up, and I'll make you lose your sleep." Little Dustpan complained.
So Mr. Wang let go of his hand, but to his surprise, the little dustpan jumped up and started shouting: "Why are you so annoying? I was dreaming that I was sleeping with your daughter in my arms. , you will be a grandpa soon!"
With a "coax" sound, the entire warehouse was filled with laughter.
"You little bastard!" Mr. Wang scolded with a smile and ran after the dustpan. At this time, it was Shang Zhen who finally spoke: "Okay, it's not too late, and I'm gone. Get up quickly!"
So, those who were sitting up all stood up, and those who were lying down finally sat up.
But at this moment, all of them heard a "squeak" sound, and the warehouse door opened.
The door of the warehouse also faced east. As soon as the door was pushed open, all the sunlight from the outside world poured into the somewhat dim warehouse.
"What time is it and you guys still haven't gotten up?" There was a person in the sun, and his elongated figure was projected directly into the room.
But that crisp voice made everyone energetic, because it was Leng Xiaozhi's voice.
At this time, everyone looked at Leng Xiaozhi and felt at a loss.
This kind of confusion is not because this is where these male soldiers sleep.
When they are marching and fighting, who would take off their clothes to sleep outside? Even if there is a woman, there is no inconvenience.
It's because no one knows what to call Leng Xiaozhi!
Yesterday, all of them, Shang Zhen, naturally saw Leng Xiaozhi. The only difference was that Mr. Wang and the others were outside the house, while Shang Zhen was inside.
However, Gao Huaide said that Leng Xiaozhi was his sister. We didn't care whether it was a cousin or a younger sister. In short, this relationship naturally aroused Shang Zhen's thoughts.
Shang Zhen sent Leng Xiaozhi to northern Shaanxi, so there is no doubt that Leng Xiaozhi now belongs to the Communist Party.
Shang Zhen and the others don't take this seriously. They don't know anything about the Communist Party now, and the Communist Party is not a scourge.
But the problem is that the fact that Leng Xiaozhi is a communist cannot be told outside. Naturally, they will not show that they are old acquaintances with Leng Xiaozhi, who is probably Gao Huaide's new sister.
But now Leng Xiaozhi is here to "kill" him. What do you want Shang Zhen and the others to call Leng Xiaozhi?
"You don't recognize me anymore?" Leng Xiaozhi smiled.
Um? When everyone who knew Leng Xiaozhi heard what she said, they understood that this was Leng Xiaozhi's recognition of his identity.
At this time, Leng Xiaozhi said again: "You are all my mother-in-law, please don't say anything about this, and you must be strict with your mouth!"
That’s right!
Leng Xiaozhi's words made Shang Zhen and the others suddenly realize.
But then, a new question arose, what do you mean you are all my natal family? Did Leng Xiaozhi really get married?
As if to prove his statement, Leng Xiaozhi stepped aside and said, "Come in!"
Following Leng Xiaozhi's words, Shang Zhen and the others saw another person appear at the door, and this person was the handsome one who came with Liang Xiaozhi yesterday.
"This is my house! My name is Mo Jianchen." Leng Xiaozhi introduced generously, and at this moment, Mo Jianchen took a step forward, and then gave Shang Zhen and the others a military salute.
This Mo Jianchen had already changed into a military uniform. With this military salute, Shang Zhen and the others felt that this guy should also be a veteran, just a veteran of the Eighth Route Army.
Everyone looked at this handsome guy and didn't know what to say.
Some stood and gave a military salute in return, while others did not return the salute and ignored them at all.
Shang Zhen was watching. No one knew what Shang Zhen was thinking. However, Mr. Wang reflected and smiled and said, "Is this the return of my new daughter-in-law after three days?"
It is a custom in the Northeast for a new daughter-in-law to return home in three days. Three days after a girl gets married, she will return to her parents' home with her new husband-in-law.
"That's right!" Leng Xiaozhi laughed when he heard what Wang Laomao said, and then said, "I don't need you to prepare delicious food for me when I come home. I'm here to sew clothes for you. Look at you now What has become of it?"
At this time, everyone noticed that Leng Xiaozhi actually carried a package in his hand, which must have contained needles and thread.
I remember that when Shang Zhen and others were together with these students, Leng Xiaozhi sewed clothes for them. Li Yajuan and Fan Mei were both there at that time. Li Yajuan, who has a lively personality, also said that this was called "brother fighting the Japanese on the front line." I sew military uniforms for my brother!”
"Brother Hanzi, let me sew it for you first," Leng Xiaozhi shouted.
Leng Xiaozhi said so, and the Leng Xiaozhi whom Shang Zhen and the others were once familiar with came back.
Erhanzi smiled honestly and took off his shirt. There were already several triangular cuts on it.
Everyone saw Leng Xiaozhi put down his bag. After unfolding it, there was another small package and a sewing box inside. When they opened the sewing box, there was scissors and cloth-head needlework.
Under the sunshine, Leng Xiaozhi went through stitches and sewed clothes for Erhanzi.
