Although Gao Kuirong thought that he didn't know which son had returned, he was still very cautious and did not let anyone open the door but went up to the fence first.
This is a fool's errand. You have to confirm your identity before you can open the door.
Gao Kuirong's caution was indeed justified. The truck that came had already parked outside the door. As expected, it was not one of his sons.
Seeing Gao Kuirong walking up to the wall, a banker hurriedly greeted Hui and reported: "Master, this is Xie Baoqing's woman, here to see the eldest lady."
Gao Kuirong was stunned for a moment: "You're looking for the eldest lady, what's the matter?"
Gao Kuirong had an ominous premonition in his heart. He drove a truck to see the eldest lady. Most likely, he was here to ask for food again.
He also heard that Xie Baoqing was recruiting troops in Dagu Town with great fanfare. He also recruited hundreds of refugees who had fled from Henan. He also recruited a battalion of the Shanxi-Sui Army two days ago.
He definitely couldn't afford to offend Xie Baoqing now.
Well, he couldn't offend Xie Baoqing in the past, but he could still be criticized.
Now that Xie Baoqing has a strong army, he would not provoke him even if he called his sons and nephews back.
When there are more people, the first thing to solve is naturally the problem of food.
There are more than a thousand people, and feeding them every day is a big expense.
But what's the point of calling a woman over now?
He also went directly to the eldest lady.
Is it easy for women to talk to women?
It’s not just to deceive me about food!
Gao Kuirong thought for a moment and whispered to Zhuang Ke: "Tell him that the eldest lady is not at home and has gone to Taiyuan. If she asks me, she will say that I am not at home either and have been away for several days. Let him go back."
The banker grinned. Just now Tang Haoer called the door, and he had already replied to Tang Haoer that someone called the master. Now you say you are not at home, how can I tell people?
Zhuang Ke walked up to the pile and looked at Tang Haoer who was standing in front of the car and said loudly: "Master Xie's family, the master said that the young lady is not at home. She went to Taiyuan, and he is not at home either. He has been out for several days. You Let's go back."
Gao Kuirong's face suddenly darkened, are you fucking stupid? Could this be what I said?
Gao Kuirong wanted to kick the banker off the fence. Little did he know that the banker would rather offend him than offend Xie Baoqing.
At worst, he would stop being a banker here and go to Dagu Town to serve as a soldier for Xie Baoqing.
Lao Wang, who was driving the carriage, said that he followed Xie Baoqing to eat white flour, steamed buns, rice, and meat. He was not bragging. Lao Wang himself was the leader of the regimental cooking team, and he even ate canned Japanese beef.
Gao Kuirong pushed the banker away, smiled and clasped his fists at Tang Hao'er under the fence: "Xie Baoqing's family, don't listen to this idiot, I'm here, my daughter really went to Taiyuan, okay? It's been a few days. I'm from Xie Baoqing's house. If you have anything to do, just tell me. As long as it's nothing traumatic, I'll promise you."
What Gao Kuirong meant was food and money, and Tang Haoer immediately became anxious when she heard the word "hurt the bones." She reached out to lift up her clothes and took out Xie Tian's gun from a small holster around her waist. That Browning was fired three times into the sky.
Gao Kuirong and the dealers on the fence were so frightened that they crouched down and hid behind the stacks. Although they had guns in their hands, they really didn't dare to mess with the woman under the wall.
If you offend her, Xie Baoqing will trample the Gao family's fence into a flat river, and even the bones and dregs will be crushed by you.
Gao Kuirong was about to cry while hiding behind the pile. How could this woman be more ruthless than Xie Baoqing? She would shoot him whenever he disagreed with her.
"Don't shoot at Xie Baoqing's family. We have something to discuss. Are you here to borrow food? Why don't I ask you to fill the car right away?"
Having learned the lesson from last time, and knowing that Xie Baoqing is different today, Gao Kuirong also understands that a good man should not suffer the immediate consequences.
If Xie Baoqing borrowed food from him again, just bringing him a car would be enough.
He also sent his own woman here, which gave him enough face, so he had to carry it.
"Sister Meijuan, I'm Hao'er. I have something urgent to do with you. Please come out quickly."
Tang Haoer shouted outside the wall and fired another shot into the sky.
I've already promised to borrow food. Why do I still shoot?
Gao Kuirong immediately realized that Xie Baoqing's woman was not here for food, but was really looking for his daughter, and it must be something very urgent.
Otherwise, she would not have come at this time, let alone shoot without saying a few words.
Gao Kuirong hurriedly stood up and shouted to Tang Haoer who was under the fence: "Stop shooting at Xie Baoqing's house. I'll call Meijuan for you. Wait, wait, she'll be here soon."
Naturally, the eldest daughter's boudoir could not be visited by these villagers, and there was no maid or woman around, so Gao Kuirong had no choice but to go there by himself.
Gao Kuirong ran down the fence in panic and went straight to Gao Meijuan's boudoir. Inside the fence was a big house and a small house. Gao Meijuan's boudoir was in the same courtyard as her mother. Gao Kuirong was basically sleeping in the second mother's room now. He hadn't been to the aunt's yard for a long time. Let's go. The clothes are a bit rusty.
Gao Kuirong ran to the front of the hospital and banged on the door. The door opened quickly. Gao Meijuan, with disheveled makeup, opened the door and asked Gao Kuirong eagerly: "Dad, I heard a gunshot. What's going on?"
Gao Kuirong was out of breath after running, holding on to the door frame and saying intermittently: "Xie Baoqing's woman came to see you, saying she had something urgent... eh eh..."
Gao Kuirong was pushed by Gao Meijuan and almost staggered, but Gao Meijuan had already rushed out of the door and headed straight for the gate.
When the door opened, Gao Meijuan rushed directly to Tang Haoer and asked quickly: "Haoer, why are you here in person? What happened?"
Seeing Gao Meijuan, tears welled up in Tang Haoer's eyes. She grabbed Gao Meijuan's arm and dragged her to the cab: "Come with me quickly, he is injured, help him..."
"Ah?!" Gao Meijuan was startled and hurriedly got into the car with Tang Haoer. Without any instructions, Li Changshun, who was driving, had already stepped on the accelerator. The four rear wheels of the truck were idling on the road, and he jumped out with a whoosh.
Last night I just dreamed of riding with a big bandit. I was riding on a horse. The big bandit hugged me around the waist, and the hot air from his nose sprayed on my neck. It tickled...
"How did he get injured? Where is the injury? Does it matter?" Gao Meijuan grabbed Tang Haoer's sign and asked incoherently.
It doesn't matter. Can you come here to find me at this time?
Gao Meijuan knew it in her heart, but she still couldn't help but ask.
In fact, the key is to ask where the injury is, how serious it is, and whether it is life-threatening.
Tang Haoer's answers were also messy, such as shrapnel, pliers, aspirin and so on.
Li Changshun couldn't stand listening anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Last night, the regiment leader led us to attack the Zhangzhuang stronghold. No one noticed that the regiment leader was injured. After he came back, he had a meeting with us to eat and drink. My sister-in-law said The regiment leader was injured on the bridge. The regiment leader took out the shrapnel himself and treated the wound. However, the regiment leader is suffering from a high fever now and my sister-in-law cannot wake him up."
Gao Meijuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, held Tang Haoer's little hand and patted it, and said: "Haoer, don't be nervous. Injuries on the big stride are generally not life-threatening. It is normal to have a fever after surgery. I will find out later... …”
The truck rushed into Dagu Town, crossed the side street, and stopped suddenly at the entrance of the silk and satin shop. When they heard the sound of brakes, Qin Fen and Wu Wenhua ran out of the yard.
Tang Haoer pulled Gao Meijuan and hurriedly walked into the house. He looked at the anxious Qin Fen and others and asked, "How is he?"
"He hasn't woken up yet. Tiedan and Xiaoman are taking care of him in the house. They even cooked some millet porridge for him but couldn't feed him."
Walking into the courtyard, there were many people standing in the courtyard. Some were sitting on the steps smoking, and three or five people gathered together to whisper. Tang Haoer went to find Li Changshun and drove to invite Gao Meijuan, which alarmed many people.
When people in the courtyard saw Tang Haoer dragging Gao Meijuan in, they all stood up and called their sister-in-law, and automatically made way for them.
Tang Haoer didn't have the thought to respond to everyone one by one, and hurriedly pulled Gao Meijuan into the house, followed by Qin Fen and Wu Wenhua.
Entering the back room, Gao Meijuan saw Xie Tian sleeping on the big bed. Sitting next to Xie Tian was Tie Dan, who was wiping his forehead. Tie Dan's eyes were swollen from crying.
Not caring about that much anymore, Gao Meijuan reached out and touched Xie Tian's forehead. It was indeed frighteningly hot.
She took off her shoes and got on the kang and told Tiedan, "Go find some liquor and wipe him down."
Tiedan threw down the cloth with a cry and ran outside the house.
Gao Meijuan had already learned that Xie Tian was injured in the crotch. She lifted up some quilts to check the injury. As soon as she saw what was inside the quilt, she blushed with embarrassment and hurriedly put the quilt down and said to the people in the room: "You all go out first, Hao'er stays."
What kind of habit is this? Why don’t you even wear underwear when sleeping...
Alas, it's a pity that the woman who has been sleeping in the same bed with him all day is not me...
Tiedan came back with a full jar of sorghum wine, and Gao Meijuan was kneeling on the kang to re-treat Xie Tian's wounds.
The two women on the kang were both blushing. Tang Haoer could not move Xie Tian to help him put on his underwear by himself, so he had to ask Gao Meijuan for help, but Gao Meijuan even kicked Xiaoman out.
It took a lot of effort for the two of them to help Xie Tian put on his underwear, mainly because they were worried about touching Xie Tian's wounds. Gao Meijuan was also worried about touching places that shouldn't be touched, so she kept her eyes closed to help, but the result was still...
Tang Haoer and Gao Meijuan could only have a tacit understanding. One pretended not to see it, the other pretended not to touch it, but they both had red faces and did not dare to look at each other.
The doctor did not conceal the illness, Gao Meijuan comforted herself like this.
However, Gao Meijuan was serious when she helped Xie Tian treat the wound. She was shocked when she opened the cloth covering the wound.
The wound had obvious burn marks, and a piece of nearby skin was scorched.
How cruel a person must be to treat a wound like this. Doesn’t it hurt?
It was getting daylight, and Gao Meijuan walked out of the house tiredly. Qin Fen and Wu Wenhua, who were waiting anxiously in the outer room, hurriedly greeted her and asked: "How is the leader?"
"The fever has gone down a bit and he's asleep now. Don't let him drink or feed him spicy food recently. Eat more fish and less fatty meat. Go tell the kitchen to steam him an egg custard. He must be hungry now. , eat something nutritious and easy to digest.”
"Egg custard? What is egg custard?" Several people in the outer room looked at each other.
Gao Meijuan looked at the grown men speechlessly and shook her head: "I'd better go."
