Relatively light.
Looking at the plumpness, one could actually touch the bones with a hug.
Li Shiyi let go of his second sister and felt inexplicably distressed when he saw her sallow face, some blood bruises on her face, and dull hair.
Seeing that the younger brother let go, the second sister asked with concern: "Little brother, have you married a wife?".
Li Shiyi shook his head: "Not yet, we are fighting on the front line and there are no women around.
Our Eighth Route Army must be at least 28 years old, have more than five years of revolutionary experience, and must be regiment leader or above to marry a wife. "
"Ah? 28 years old, so long? You have to carry on the family line." The second sister was not satisfied with this rule of the Eighth Route Army.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it, but I'll be able to become the leader soon." Li Shiyi was full of confidence. With the speed of his achievements, he was determined to be the leader.
"Whose is the child next to you?" The second sister looked at little Li Qing and knew she was not her younger brother's son.
"She is the child who survived the stubborn army's annihilation of the whole family..." Li Shiyi explained the original scene of the stubborn army's plunder.
After listening, the second sister sighed and glanced at Xiao Li Qing with pity.
Suddenly.
The second sister asked her younger brother with concern: "Oh, how is my little brother eating in the army? Can he have enough to eat?".
"I didn't have enough to eat before, but after fighting the Japanese, I can have enough to eat."
Hearing this question, Li Shiyi remembered that he just started traveling and couldn't eat enough.
I gnawed on Wotou and couldn't eat meat for nearly a month.
"By the way, sister, I specially brought you seven cans of beef." Suddenly he remembered and took out seven cans of beef from the knitting box.
Place it on the dark wooden table.
Looking at the unevenness, Li Shiyi felt the second sister's difficulties.
"Oh, it's so expensive. No, you can't put it here." The second sister saw her younger brother taking out such an expensive can and refused.
"Second sister, don't worry. I don't have anything to eat. I'll beat the little devil again to borrow it." Li Shiyi refused to give her a refusal.
After pushing it around, saying it was a gift for my nephew, I reluctantly accepted it.
I asked the second sister to get canned meat to cook, just because I wanted to try the second sister's craftsmanship.
Watching the second sister cooking, Li Shiyi also helped to burn the stove, which was just a stove made of several large rocks.
The two chatted about their current living conditions, and occasionally were told about embarrassing things from their childhood.
As for Xiao Li Qing, he drove her away to play with her nephew.
Looking outside the house, the two children couldn't play together, when the second sister's child wanted to see Xiao Li Qing's gun.
Xiao Liqing said no, it was dangerous!
Didn’t my second aunt’s family weave linen clothes? Why don't you wear clothes?
Li Shiyi smiled warmly when he saw this. The two children were playing around, it would be nice if they didn't get too stiff.
…
In a harmonious atmosphere, the villagers outside gathered for a while and then dispersed.
The remaining children were squatting.
After a while, a middle-aged and elderly man came back outside.
He looks thin, but his exposed yellow and black upper body is made of strong flesh.
He was coming back carrying the wood.
Even the hoe blade is made of wood.
But from the body of his hoe in the gully, it can be seen that the hoe has been scraped by gravel.
What was a little strange was that the body of the second brother-in-law's hoe was wet, but the handle was dry.
"Second brother-in-law, are you back?" Li Shiyi went out to greet him. Based on the memory in his mind, he knew who the old man with the horse-faced face was in front of him.
"Which one are you?" the second brother-in-law asked in a normal tone.
"Agui, he is my youngest brother, Eleven." The second sister explained in a low voice.
After hearing what his wife said, the second brother-in-law started to think about it, and for a moment, he suddenly realized.
"Oh, you are your mother-in-law's little boy?".
"Uh..." Li Shiyi felt a bit cursed when he heard Xiao Zaizi.
"Second brother-in-law, are you coming back from hoeing the fields?" Li Shiyi asked casually, wanting to chat with him.
However, the second brother-in-law didn't give him face. He put down the hoe and shouted: "Mother, is the food ready? Do you want to starve me to death?"
"Okay, okay." The second sister responded quickly, turned around and went to the stove to get busy.
Li Shiyi was speechless.
Is this being ignored?
"Mother, put less millet, our family doesn't have much food left," said the second brother-in-law.
Li Shiyi felt unhappy after hearing this.
We all carry canned beef, a bag of rice, and two rolls of cloth.
You are not just waiting for relief with empty hands and white teeth.
If it weren't for the fear that having a gun would cause trouble, Li Shiyi would have wanted to get a gun for his second sister to defend herself.
At the stove, the second sister told her husband that the younger brother had brought something valuable.
After hearing this, the second brother-in-law went into the room and looked around for a while, checked his eyes, and his face looked a little better.
Li Shiyi could hear the second sister's low-pitched persuasion even outside the door.
It is true that the thatched house is not soundproof.
Seeing that our little Li Qing was guarding her crossbody bag, the second sister's child would not snatch it.
Even when the second sister's child took out a precious wooden sword and exchanged it with little Li Qing, she refused.
He nodded with satisfaction and thought that Xiao Li Qing did a good job.
"It's time to eat." The second sister shouted.
When the child heard this, he immediately forgot about the crossbody bag and ran into the house happily.
Little Li Qing also wanted to run to eat, but was told by Li Shiyi to wash her hands.
When they were served, Li Shiyi was shocked.
"Where are the canned beef and fried potatoes?" On the dark dining table, there were only vegetables, boiled sweet potatoes, and millet porridge.
I didn't see any empty dishes, but I could see the second sister frying beef and potatoes.
"Dad, I want some meat and fried beans, please take it out." The nephew made a noise.
I really can’t eat meat more than a few times a year, and my children are starving for it.
Hearing this, Li Shiyi suddenly realized that he had hidden the hard food.
Feeling a little angry in my heart, I actually kept the cans I brought tightly.
As a matter of course?
The second brother-in-law, who had a somewhat unnatural expression on his face, shouted angrily at his son: "I will beat you if you make any noise!".
"Wow, wow, I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!" The little nephew suddenly made a noise.
The second brother-in-law was so angry that he put aside his job, grabbed his little nephew, and whipped his butt.
Bang bang bang!
Seeing his little nephew crying loudly, Li Shiyi frowned.
Beating a child for a meal of meat is killing a chicken to scare the monkey?
Regardless of whether there was beef or fried potatoes, Li Shiyi and Xiao Li Qing sat at the table.
Suddenly, I felt a little uncomfortable. After counting, I found that my second sister was missing.
"Where's the second sister?" Li Shiyi asked.
"She's eating on the stove, don't worry about her." The second brother-in-law put the tearful son aside and answered Li Shiyi.
Li Shiyi looked at the food on the table. It was of sufficient portion, but it could be seen that the second sister didn't eat it at all.
Wait until the guests, husband, and children have finished eating before eating.
He didn't expect that such bad habits would still exist during the Anti-Japanese War.
He turned around and walked to the stove, pulled out the second sister, and spoke while pulling her out.
"Second sister, we finally came here, but you didn't come to the table. We couldn't even have a meal together. What's the point of visiting you?"
"Little brother, you eat first, and we will eat later. If there is not enough, we will cook." The second sister kept pushing away.
Because he was not strong enough for his younger brother, he was forcefully dragged to the dinner table by his younger brother.
"No, the whole family has to eat together. What's the point of eating separately?" Li Shiyi insisted.
In the memory of the original owner, there are also such feudal bad habits.
However, his family is not that serious and can take food out to eat.
When the second brother-in-law saw that the second sister was on the table, he slammed the table with his chopsticks.
Bang!
"What are you doing? Your little bastard has messed up our family's rules."
The second brother-in-law scolded him like a madman.
