At dawn in the east, the sound of people getting up and getting dressed and the sound of stone sickles making fire could be heard in a house.
The sound of Xisuo was still there, and then a red light no bigger than a copper coin flashed in the still dark room, and then there was the smell of choking tobacco.
"Old man, if you don't go to see the wheat fields, you'll just smoke cigarettes in the morning!" an old woman complained.
It turned out that the red light that just flashed out was his old man smoking a pipe.
"Didn't I see it before dark yesterday? The land in our house was almost destroyed." The old man said.
"Then what shall we eat this year?" The old woman was worried about the future.
"Chew your cheeks!" the old man said angrily.
The old lady was afraid of her old man, so she didn't dare to say anything when she heard that the old man's tone was wrong.
Their home is on the outskirts of Taierzhuang. At this time in previous years, the wheat has grown very tall. But this year is not only a disaster year. A big battle.
The battle at Taierzhuang didn't just mean fighting inside Taierzhuang, but naturally there was also a fight outside Taierzhuang.
First, the Chinese army guarding Taierzhuang was surrounded and could no longer hold up. The Chinese side naturally wanted reinforcements, and there was another fierce battle around the Chinese side's route into the city.
Later, the Japanese troops in Taierzhuang were surrounded by the Chinese again. The Japanese troops naturally had to send out rescuers, and the Chinese troops sent out troops to intercept and block the rescue. It was also a chaotic battle.
What is a battlefield? The anti-Japanese athletes used the sky as their support and the earth as their bed. Any place where the enemy and we can fight is naturally a battlefield. I think that when Cao Mengde was marching in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the war horses could still step on the wheat fields, not to mention that China and Japan were like this In the fierce battle, in the area where the enemy and we were fighting, the wheat field was also ruined.
Fortunately, the old man's village survived the war.
Unfortunately, the old man's wheat field was almost destroyed by the war.
"Why are you still here if you don't want to cook?" The stubborn old man became angry again when he saw the old woman not moving at all.
How dare the old woman offend her old man, so she went out to collect firewood, but the old man was still shirtless, wearing clothes, smoking a pipe and sulking.
Angry people have the logic of angry people.
Just now the old lady asked him what he would do if the harvest was not good this year? What can be done? He didn't do anything either!
Just because our wheat field has been damaged like that, let alone whether there is a harvest or not, I'm afraid there won't even be any wheat to cook with this year!
The old man was sulking when he suddenly heard a faint scream of "ah" coming from his old woman.
When he heard that voice, it was not a pleasant cry. He jumped down from the kang in a hurry. He didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He still kept his clothes on. He pulled on his shoes and ran out the door, asking: "What's going on? What's going on?" La?"
It was already getting bright, and his firewood pile was at Fangshan. When he ran there, he saw his old woman climbing up from the ground, and in front of the old woman was his firewood pile.
But when he saw the pile of firewood, he felt "grateful" in his heart!
In the dim light of the morning, he saw a man in front of his old lady putting away the gun in his hand.
He knew that gun. It was a short gun. He had heard the soldiers call it a "box gun."
But just behind the man who had just put away the cannon, his pile of firewood had been stripped into disgrace. The wheatgrass was in pieces here and there, and it looked like it had been passed over by many old sows. Just average!
It's just that it couldn't be an old sow who touched the pile of wheat and spinach. Their village is not big but they don't even have an old sow. However, there are soldiers getting up from the piles of wheat and spinach on the left. He's carrying a gun!
It turns out that some time ago soldiers came to my village, and these soldiers chose his wheatgrass pile to sleep in!
In the eyes of ordinary people nowadays, there is actually not much difference between soldiers and bandits.
Bandits bully men, dominate women, and rob homes and homes, such as Li Tantou's group of bandits.
And what about soldiers? As the war between China and Little Japan started, the old man saw more soldiers, soldiers from all over the world. It seemed that soldiers could do whatever the bandits did, right? At least that soldier captured a young man in their village!
It's totally unreasonable to rob a man. He points a gun and says, "Do you want to come with us? If you don't, I'll kill you!"
It is reasonable to capture strong men with soldiers, but the reason is high-sounding, but they are also forced with a gun, "It is everyone's responsibility to fight against Japan and save the country. If you don't leave, I will kill you!"
The method of pointing a gun at someone is the same, and the result is the same. The only difference is that there are more strong men in the army. If you dare to refute, you are destined to be slapped with the butt of the gun. No one can find a fault.
Even though the old man was very stubborn, he also knew that he could not afford to offend the soldier. He was just thinking about what to do. At this time, the soldier who had already put away his short gun said to him: "Man, do you have anything to eat at home?" , get us some, we paid for it.”
The old man understood that he couldn't run away from getting some food for these soldiers.
Fortunately, it was just me and my wife at home now. I expected that people would not treat me as a strong man with weak legs and feet, but I had to take the time to inform my second son and third son who lived in the same village to hide quickly.
"If you don't mind the food, just eat it!" the old man replied, and at this moment he heard a soldier laugh and say: "Boss, that's a good title for you, call me man."
By this time, the old man had already realized that these soldiers were Northeastern soldiers.
Nowadays, many Northeasterners entered Shanhaiguan from the south when they entered Guandong. Most of them are from Shandong and Henan. This custom of calling "men" regardless of age also exists in Shandong.
Although "man" sounds very straightforward, it is also an honorific. Otherwise, people would call him "old man" or "old thing".
The one who dared to talk to him was still a boss, the old man thought.
"Then what do you usually call people?" At this time, the old man heard the leader ask the soldier.
The soldier with the small nose and small eyes smiled and said: "I call him old man, uncle, uncle and so on."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the soldier with the small nose and small eyes finished speaking, someone among the soldiers who had already climbed up from the wheat pile laughed and said, "Have you ever called someone Second Uncle?"
"Go away! Fuck you, Second Uncle!" The soldier with a small nose and small eyes laughed and cursed.
The soldiers laughed with a "coax".
"Come on, Second Uncle, let's go to your house and get some food. We'll pay for it!" Another soldier said to the stubborn old man amidst laughter.
The old man had never seen such a soldier before. Why didn't he regard himself as an outsider? He actually called himself "Second Uncle"!
The old man doesn’t believe what these big-headed Northeastern soldiers say, why should he give me the money? Give me some shit money? No matter how much food you get for them, it's like beating a dog with meat buns - they'll never come back!
He also wanted to reply to the soldier, "Fuck you, Second Uncle!" But he didn't dare.
He could only turn around and walk back, wondering what the old lady could do to get rid of these soldiers without causing trouble for his family.
But although he didn't say anything, his stubborn and unwilling expression naturally showed on his face.
At this time, he heard a soldier behind him say: "Oh, the second uncle is quite stubborn!"
When the old man heard this, he felt angry again. How could these Northeastern soldiers be so poor?
At this time, another soldier took up the conversation: "Why are we Shandong people so stubborn? Are you Northeasterners awesome? You don't know that many of us Shandongese are the ancestors of you Northeasterners -, no, they are. Are you the elders of the Northeastern people?"
Oops, there are actually Shandong people among this group of soldiers.
Just as he was thinking about it, some Northeastern soldiers started shouting and yelling. Naturally, they were all scolding the Shandong soldier.
No one is stupid, but no one can understand the meaning behind Shandong Bing's words. Isn't he just taking advantage of the Northeastern people? Who knew that many of the people who entered Guandong back then were from Shandong?
However, there is nothing wrong with saying that the elders of many Northeastern people are from Shandong, but if you say that Shandong people are the ancestors of the Northeast, then it is insulting. How can the Northeast soldiers do this?
And this group of soldiers was Shang Zhen and the others. It was Shang Zhen who called the old man "man" before! And the one with the small nose and small eyes is of course Qian Chuan'er.
