Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The moonlight outside the window is like water, and the cold wind is biting.

In the warm house, Xu Dahai, Xu Hu, Wang Xiuxiu and Xiao Tingzi chatted while eating delicious mutton skewers.

Xu Hu rubbed the mutton skewers hard and said:

"When I came over just now, I seemed to see Xu Youcheng walking out of the yard? It was him from the back."

"It was him. After saying a few words, he got out."

Xu Hu didn't ask him what he was doing here, but took a sip of millet porridge, picked up a bunch of mutton skewers and continued eating:

"By the way, I was watching them play cards at the canteen today, and I saw Xu Youcheng's couple "and".

The leader didn't look like an ordinary citizen. As soon as he left, he opened two packs of Chinese cigarettes and distributed them to everyone without saying anything. "

"What happened next?" Xu Dahai paused slightly while chewing the mutton.

When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.

Don't say you don't care if you have money. According to Xu Dahai's experience, most rich people look down on ordinary people deep down, and naturally they will not give ordinary people benefits for no reason.

"After chatting for a while, he started asking everyone about a person. No, I'm not sure if he was talking about a person. Oops, it's a bit confusing."

"Just what did he say?"

The air suddenly became quiet, Xu Hu pondered slightly and said: "He asked - does anyone know about Lao Changqing?

No one knew the result, and he seemed disappointed.

At this time, Shengli and his wife came to the canteen to buy vinegar. After hearing about this, she said that her old man knew everything, so she took them home.

I don't know what happened next. "

"Old Evergreen?"

Xu Dahai thought about it for a while, but he had no impression of the name at all.

But after eating, he still put on his cotton-padded jacket and planned to go to his grandfather's yard.

"Going to Grandpa's courtyard? I'll go too! I'll go too!!"

Xiao Tingzi stopped petting the cat for an instant, quickly got dressed, and shouted that she wanted to come with her.

Xu Dahai took Xiao Tingzi with him, and Xu Hu also wanted to leave, so they walked together and parted at the west intersection.

"Is it cold?"

Xu Dahai walked forward on the thick snow while looking at the little girl next to him. The latter was also walking on short legs, looking bloated like a fat penguin.

"It's not cold! Hehe~"

The little girl is very tough-talking, even if she is cold, she is not cold.

When I arrived at Grandpa's courtyard, the fence gate was unlocked. I pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, shouting as I walked:

"grandfather!"

The sound of conversation between grandma and grandma, the sound of shoes being put on, and the sound of walking could be heard in the house, and soon the door opened with a creak.

"It's Xiaohai, oh, there's little girl, come in quickly."

Grandma had a kind face, and while lifting the thick cotton curtain to let the two people into the house, she smiled and asked the little girl if she was cold.

The little girl also shook her head and said she wasn't cold.

The reason why she wanted to come here was because grandma’s yard had delicious food - oven fruits, persimmon cookies, chicken cakes, hard candies, biscuits, dried sweet potatoes...

Grandma carried her to the kang, and put all kinds of delicious food beside her. She couldn't finish it, she couldn't finish it at all.

The beautiful little girl's cheeks were bulging, and she started to get whatever she wanted to eat.

Chatted for a while.

Xu Dahai sat on the stool next to the cabinet, took the dried sweet potatoes from his grandma, and said while eating:

"Master, may I ask you something?"

"What's the matter?"

Grandpa sat cross-legged on the kang, his face wrinkled, smoking a dry cigarette.

"Do you know Old Changqing?"

"Old Changqing? Hey~ I actually remember one, he was a bandit leader. I wonder if you are talking about him?"

"Bandit leader? Tell me."

Xu Dahai's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

"Oh, this is all before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, it was old Tonghua County, that is, the surrounding area. There were so many big and small dimples."

Grandpa took a puff of dry cigarette. Xu Dahai didn't interrupt and listened carefully.

Just listen to grandpa continue:

"The bandit masters all have their own names, and they also set rules such as no robbing, no robbing, and so on.

Not counting the little guys and the stickman, just talking about the big guys, there are Nine Saints around us, Jinlong Mountain, Flying on the Grass, Li Fool, Rolling Mine, Old Taiping, Leader, Floating River Dragon... Old Changqing is One of them. "

Grandpa said thirty or forty names eloquently.

Each name represents a large group of people, with hundreds of people at every turn, and even the largest one can break through thousands of people.

"Is this all from our peripherals?"

"Well, I can't tell you everything about the nearby counties, and I don't know many of the bandit leaders.

Add in a small band of three to five people, or a dozen or so, and a single stickman, and that's even more... They also fight with each other, and even have a bloody feud. "

Xu Dahai asked again about Lao Changqing.

But grandpa didn’t know much, so he thought for a while before speaking. He only remembered that a comrade said that Old Changqing had smashed the Xiang Kiln in what is now Longxing Township.

"Hey! It seems that I smashed it three times. The first two times failed. The third time there was a traitor. The kiln broke in the middle of the night...

The next day, many wooden poles were erected outside the earthen wall. It is said that a human head was hung on each pole. Hundreds of people in the big landowner's family were all killed..."

Grandpa narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the past, and his voice was erratic:

"My comrade-in-arms seemed to have served as the landowner's bodyguard, but when the furnace was broken and people's hearts dispersed, all those who could escape took advantage of the darkness to escape."

The so-called kiln smashing means attacking the houses of big landlords and robbing money, grain and women.

The big landowners built their houses like fortresses, and also formed armed militia groups, which were often quite strong and difficult to crack. Many of them did not take small groups of bandits seriously.

Therefore, any successful smashing of a kiln will greatly increase the reputation of the bandit leader and intimidate all parties. It will be much easier to "borrow" money and grain from other big landowners.

It's getting late.

Xiao Tingzi leaned on her grandma's arms and continued to doze off, so Xu Dahai wrapped her in his coat and carried her home.

"Did you ask?"

Wang Xiuxiu has already burned the kang and is spreading the mattress on the kang.

The big fat cat was too much of a hindrance on the kang, so he was kicked off and lay on the stool with his paws hooked, yawning.

"Yeah, he's a bandit leader... It's none of our business. Go to sleep. It's still warm under the covers in this cold weather."

After Xu Dahai washed his feet, he got into bed.

The big fat cat was also very naughty, and quickly got into his bed, found a comfortable position to lie down, and soon fell asleep beautifully.

After the lights were turned off, the room was dark.

The cold wind outside the window became more and more urgent. Wuwu~wuwu~ The moon seemed to be unable to bear the cold, and quickly slipped into the clouds, and the light suddenly dimmed.

Next two days.

Xu Dahai's little life was quite comfortable and nourishing.

Xu Erniu from the same village caught a half-large roe deer alive, hugged it happily, and finally left with 100 yuan in his pocket.

Also.

When Xu Dahai learned that Ma Liang's wife had given birth to a baby, he went there with his wife Wang Xiuxiu, accepted the gifts, and had dinner together before returning.

Ma Liang started raising chickens this year and made some money by selling eggs. Now that the child is born, his big rough face is full of smiles.

I heard that chicken soup is very tonic, so I stewed chicken soup for Jiang Aiyun to drink every day.

He eats the chicken himself.

Jiang Aiyun was sitting on the kang, with indelible happiness in the corners of her eyes, and a hint of anger in her smile:

"Bah! Why are you making chicken soup for me? I think you want to eat chicken... Our chickens are raised to lay eggs. Don't kill them. It took a lot of effort to raise them."

"It's okay, you can feed it after eating." Ma Liang said with a silly smile on his face.
