The next day, early morning.
Xu’s courtyard in Ping’an County.
Sister Hua couldn't help but smile happily as she watched the three girls, big, middle and small, jumping around and doing "Time is calling". She had never seen this kind of scene before, although the movements of the three were not uniform and uncoordinated. , but she felt it was very beautiful.
The morning sun reflected on the girls' faces with a golden halo, and their lively and exaggerated movements made them exude the brilliance of youth.
After a set of gymnastics was broadcast, Xiaohong came close to Sister Hua and began to complain, "It's obviously done by children, why do I have to follow it?"
"Aren't you a child too? In his eyes, anyone under eighteen is a child. What he said was one year old. You are still several months away."
"He, he, sister, you spend the whole day with him, and you have almost forgotten about me as your sister." Xiao Hong said sourly.
"My sister is married, so of course she has to take care of her husband's family."
"Hey, what a waste!" Xiaohong sighed, looking at Sister Hua as if she were a married daughter.
While the sisters were chatting, Su Yuan had already prepared breakfast and brought it to the stone table in the yard, "Master's wife, aunt, let's have breakfast."
"Have you given it to your sister-in-law?" Sister Hua asked.
"Xiao Meizi brought it over."
After breakfast, Su Yuan and Xiao Meizi got down to business, and the grocery store changed from one clerk to two.
Su Yuan was a novice, so the little girl took the account book and taught Su Yuan how to keep accounts and how to write off accounts seriously. She was really like a senior sister. Su Yuan also learned seriously and did not look down on the little girl. the meaning of.
Life is like this, dull and monotonous, but full of warmth everywhere.
Sister Hua looked at it for a while, then called Xiaohong into the house.
He took out the Browning from the cabinet and handed it to Xiaohong.
When Xiaohong saw the gun, her eyes immediately lit up, "Sister, do you have a mission today?"
"Yes!" Sister Hua responded simply.
Xiaohong took the gun and immediately asked impatiently, "What mission? What mission!"
"You'll know when the time comes." Sister Hua said, putting her gun on her waist, and then found a bag of ocean from the cabinet.
The sound of the bag slapping in the ocean made Xiaohong's heart flutter. Then she blinked and said to Sister Hua, "Sister, have you consummated your marriage? Otherwise, why would he give you the financial power?"
"Don't make random guesses. This is public money, the funding for this mission."
The mission, carrying a gun, and so much money all made Xiao Hong nervous and excited. In his little mind, he had already started to figure out the specific content of the mission.
After everything was packed up, Sister Hua said to Xiaohong, "Stop the excited expression on your face. We are going out of the city this time, so don't show any flaws."
Come and try it quickly. 】
"Are you going out of town?" Xiao Hong became even more excited.
Sister Hua shook her head, feeling that Xiaohong still lacked exercise. Her impetuous character would have been exposed long ago if she hadn't protected her.
Both of them were dressed in coarse linen, without whitewash or jewelry. They were just like ordinary people. If they were to be outstanding, it was their appearance. Regarding this, they did not cover it up deliberately. Xia Tian No different than in winter, when you deliberately put on makeup, it is easy to be stained by sweat, but it is more conspicuous.
After briefly explaining their family affairs, the two sisters got into the carriage that they had been waiting for for a long time.
The carriage was found by Boss Qian, and the driver's surname was Zhao. It was very safe, and there was no need to worry about robbery or sexual harassment happening along the way.
Sister Hua was not short of money, so she directly paid for the two-day trip. Frankly speaking, she paid for the food and drinks on the way.
The sun is not too harsh and there is a gentle breeze.
Xiaohong, who was sitting in the carriage, now knew where to go.
Linxian is Su Yuan's hometown.
The world is small but also very big. Even if it is only fifty kilometers, it is still far away for Xiaohong. It is the farthest place she has gone since being sold to Qingfeng Building. Maybe her home is further away, but she doesn't know Where was her original home?
In her heart, the small courtyard in Fengwei Lane is home, and Xu San's small courtyard is also home.
The carriage walked leisurely on the road. From time to time, she lifted the curtains and looked out at the unchanging scenery. Even if it was boring, she found it endlessly enjoyable.
A railway appeared in sight, followed by a gun tower, and then several patrolling Japanese.
After seeing the Japs, Xiao Hong retracted her head and said, "There are Japs."
Sister Hua grabbed Xiaohong's hand, "This is along the railway line. Isn't it normal for there to be Japs? Don't you remember the Japs' arrangements he told us?"
"Yeah~" Xiao Hong nodded, opened the curtain of the car window and continued to look at the Japanese patrolling along the railway.
Sister Hua pulled her and said, "Don't look at it. Aren't there a lot of Japs in Ping'an City? Haven't you seen enough?"
Xiaohong lowered the curtains and said, "It seems different. The Japs outside seem a little thinner."
The wooden wheels of the cart made a sound of "Gela, Gra" on the road. Sister Hong lowered her voice and said to Xiao Hong, "The Japs in Ping'an City are Type A, and their supplies and equipment are higher than those of ordinary Japs. Moreover, Xu San also He said that there is a special force in Ping'an City, and their combat capabilities and equipment are higher than Class A."
After hearing this, Xiaohong pouted and said, "Why didn't I know? He must have told you in bed."
"Snapped!"
Xiaohong got a slap in the face, "Don't think about all that mess all day long, Yamamoto Special Forces, he told us when he first met us."
Xiaohong covered her head, "I think I said that."
The carriage continued to move forward. Sister Hua lifted the curtain and said, "Master Zhao, stop at Yau Mazi Town ahead."
"Okay." The coachman agreed, and then continued driving.
The sun gradually rose, and Xiaohong's enthusiasm for this mission began to slowly fade.
She had been riding in the car for three hours, and even with the soft seat cushion, she still felt pain in her butt.
"Boss Hua, Yau Mazi Town is ahead, do we want to go in?" Master Zhao, who was driving the car, shouted loudly.
"Don't go in yet. Let's go around the town twice. Don't rush too fast."
"Okay!" Master Zhao didn't ask any further questions. He waved his whip and drove the big gray horse pulling the cart towards Yau Mazi Town.
Sister Hua lifted the curtains of the car windows on both sides and began to check the situation outside.
Although Xiaohong didn't know why, she followed Sister Hua's gaze and looked at both sides of the car window.
You can vaguely see the railway on one side, and you can vaguely see the city wall of Yau Mazi Town on the other side.
Faintly, Xiaohong seemed to have guessed something.
The carriage followed Sister Hua's instructions and slowly circled the town twice before stopping.
Sister Hua got out of the car and said a few words to Master Zhao, then got back in the car.
The carriage drove slowly again and soon stopped in front of a group of low-rise houses.
