Reborn in the 1980s: The Rough Man Brother Loves Me So Much
Chapter 52 Sneaky
Song Xin curled his lips and called Ling Ju, wanting to go back.
It was just after three o'clock when a few people went home after shopping. Unexpectedly, they saw a sneaky figure just as they walked to the door of the house.
He was wearing a gray cotton coat with patches everywhere, very worn-out labor protection cotton shoes, and a short haircut. He was looking into the car next to the car at the gate.
That posture was really unsightly. He looked like a thief lying on the car window.
"You idiot, what are you doing!"
As soon as Ling Yong spoke, the sneaky man trembled and immediately turned around, his eyes shining, "Brother Ling!"
Ling Ju went through his memory, but he didn't remember who this person called Er Lunzi was?
However, Ling Yong stepped forward and spoke kindly, "I haven't seen you for two years, why are you still sneaking around!"
Erluzi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother Ling, I, I actually came to see you for something!"
Only then did Ling Ju see Er Lengzi's true face. This boy was about twenty years old, but his whole body was filled with white-gray energy, especially his stomach. He had a delicate appearance, thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, and he was quite tall.
Isn’t this Widow Wu’s son Zhang Qi? She remembered it, but Widow Wu had abandoned her son and left for many years, and she didn't remember this person for a while.
When she was a child, someone bullied her and helped her out.
"what's up?"
Er Lunzi looked at so many people and hesitated, "Why don't I come back another day?" After saying this, he was about to run away, but Ling Yong grabbed his arm directly.
"Young man, why are you embarrassed? Tell me quickly. If you don't say you'll come back to me next time, I won't care."
Erluzi was a little anxious now and didn't care about so much anymore. "I, I just want to ask when the army can recruit soldiers. I, I also want to join the army."
"join the army?"
Ling Ju glanced at Er Lengzi. Although he had good facial features, his face was sallow and skinny. He looked like he hadn't had a full meal in a long time. Erluzi's father died when he was ten years old, and his mother ran away a year later, so he was left with a mud house. He didn't have any relatives at home. People in the village also helped him over the years, so he grew up eating a lot of food. But after all, he is a boy with a strong self-esteem. When he grows up, he works for other people to make food for himself. He is also a pitiful person.
"Brother, let's talk in the house. Zhang Qi, let's go into the courtyard."
Zhang Qi didn't want to go, but seeing that the man next to Ling Ju had a similar temperament to Ling Yong, he was probably a soldier. Then he went in ruthlessly.
When Ling Dawei and his wife came back from the security check and were about to speak, they saw Zhang Qi following behind them and stood up quickly.
Zhang Qi greeted, "Uncle Ling, aunt."
The two men nodded and hurried into the house.
"Why does Zhang Qi want to be a soldier?"
Zhang Qi stood in the room, his expression awkward, but he still tried his best to straighten his body and said in a non-demanding tone, "I am alone, so why not go to the army? My health is not bad. I can go up mountains and rivers. I can also shoot birds with a slingshot." , but this year’s draft, I, I couldn’t afford the gift, so I wasn’t selected.”
Song Qi frowned, "A gift?"
"Yes, there was nothing wrong with my physical examination, but there was still no news. Later I went to inquire about it, and the person only hinted that I didn't give gifts to the person in charge."
Sure enough, it is another rotten shrimp who is taking advantage of his power for personal gain and corruption to cause trouble, but Ling Yong does not have the ability to investigate the affairs of the Armed Forces Department. To say that the only one in this room who has the ability to investigate is Song Qi, but Song Qi is crossing the line to investigate. .
Besides, this is something without evidence, right?
Ling Ju looked at Zhang Qi, maybe because she sympathized with his life experience, or because Zhang Qi's face seemed kinder. She really wanted to help, but she couldn't help him as a soldier.
However, she can do it by letting Zhang Qi have a full meal at his house.
He secretly said a few words to Tian Mei, and gave Ling Yong some advice. Ling Yong asked a lot about what was available and delayed it until lunch time.
Tian Mei still made braised noodles with pickled cabbage and pork. Song Xin asked for something to eat, so she made a lot more.
But when Zhang Qi saw that someone wanted to eat, he left without saying a word, saying he would come back tomorrow.
Ling Ju persuaded Zhang Qi to stay, "Zhang Qi, don't leave. We are leaving tomorrow. Maybe you can help by finishing the matter over a meal here!"
Erluzi was really confused when he heard that they were leaving tomorrow. He didn't want to eat here, but there was no such shop after this village.
The word "naughty" was written all over his face.
Tian Mei didn't care, just filled a large bowl of noodles and handed it to Er Lengzi. She put the chopsticks into his hand and let him eat.
Seeing everyone else starting to eat, Erluzi started to speak.
It's true that he hasn't had such a good meal for a long time. He doesn't have much work to do in winter. He can only go up to the mountains to hunt game occasionally. He relies on the little food stored at home to survive the winter. He is only 20 years old and gets hungry quickly, but there is not so much food at home. He always drinks too much every day, and even though he has two chickens, he dares not eat the eggs. He has to sell them for money, otherwise he won’t be able to afford food, and his family will have no land.
The Ling family's food is delicious. He has eaten it many times, but this is the first time to eat it at his house.
Tian Mei knew that he had a strong self-esteem, so she always asked him to help with work, such as going to the fields, building houses, breaking corns, and then preparing rice for him to put in a lunch box to take back to eat. She would also give him some grain or money.
After every meal, he would wash the lunch box and send it back cleanly.
After eating, Ling Dawei and Tian Mei went back to the house directly, leaving the young people to chat outside.
Ling Ju observed Er Lengzi who was full. Sure enough, the gray gas in his stomach was much lighter, and he was really hungry.
Ling Ju knew that Zhang Qi wanted to join the army, probably just to have a full meal. This child had a hard life, and it was not easy for him to survive alone.
However, conscription usually takes place in the autumn, and it was only January, so the conscription was still early, and Ling Yong couldn't open the back door to let him join the army.
Zhang Qi said that he can wait for autumn, but he has no money to give gifts...
Song Qi was silent at first, but after thinking about it, he could find another way to let him advance into the army. "Ling Yong, you can let him work in the canteen first, and then sign up directly during the recruitment season."
Ling Yong thought about it and it was indeed quite simple for them to arrange the canteen. "Er fool, what do you think? If you go to the canteen, you have to help with cooking, cutting, washing, or cooking. You will be paid and will be responsible for food and accommodation. You can go Wait for the conscription and bypass the Armed Forces Department. If you think it’s okay, I’ll ask you about it when I get back.”
Erluzi originally planned to wait until autumn. Anyway, after waiting for so long, it would be eight or nine months later. He quickly nodded with a happy face, "Brother Ling, I can do it, and it's no problem to do manual labor. Then please ask, I'll wait for your news."
After Zhang Qi left, Ling Yong told Song Qi about Zhang Qi again. Only then did Song Qi know why Er Lunzi said he was alone. He was really an orphan.
Neither Ling Yong nor Song Qi expected that they would gain a genius just by helping out once.
Of course, this is a story.
Ling Ju saw Zhang Qi leaving and told her about how she was bullied when she was a child and Zhang Qi stood up for her. Everyone sighed.
His fate was unfair. He did not have a complete family, no love from his parents, and not even a relative to rely on.
There is no harm without comparison. Ling Ju now feels that compared with Zhang Qi, her native family is not that bad. At least she can still have enough food and clothing.
