Chen Miao sighed as she listened to the women talking about things in Tangzhuang.
Now, the big guys are not afraid to let the little devils and goons slaughter them when they see them with guns in their hands. They probably also know that the most useful thing is to stand up and resist.
"Xiaofeng's family, you don't know that Ergouzi is really nothing. After driving a truck into the village, he found the village chief's house in Tangzhuang.
They said it very nicely, saying that they were here to buy food, but they had to pay the money first.
We don’t have enough to eat ourselves, and we don’t see any money all year round, so you still want to defraud us of food?”
"Fifth Aunt, this is courtesy first and then fighting."
"Yes, yes, that's it. It's really not a thing. Zhang Laifu is also a traitor. He promised, but he had to let them press something. When he said he would press five guns, Ergouzi exposed his true nature."
"Fifth Aunt, Tangzhuang also has militia, right?"
"Yes, there are. It's even more than our village. They only came with ten people, and they didn't expect that Tangzhuang had guns. People from our village also went over to surround them."
"Who shot first?"
Chen Miao exhaled and calmed herself down. Concern caused chaos, and she knew that she was too impatient.
"Third sister, will you give me money too?"
Erdan took a breath and said, "Comrade Li will come with us this time."
Liang Caixia did not object. "You go home and go to the drawer of the cabinet to get the needle, awl and thimble. I will teach you when I come back."
After the mother and son had washed themselves, they had dinner and told stories to them. But their energy was put outside and they didn't hear anything. It was time to come back, right?
Chen Tong was most happy that the food at Third Sister's house was delicious, but he was not allowed to come here before, but this time he finally had the chance.
Liang Caixia didn't know what to say. What the third daughter said was right. Not to mention the children of outsiders, even her own children had their own problems that they couldn't take care of.
The two Chen sisters continued to pack. They were delayed by a day today, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to finish everything.
I continued to work hard in the afternoon, and there were not many paper clips anymore, so Yang Yuemei started making shoe uppers.
Chen Chunsheng nodded and left. This is not a big deal, it can be done as soon as possible.
Chen Miao couldn't sit still. "Fifth Aunt, you continue to do it. I'll go out and take a look. Why haven't you come back for so long?"
"So it's not safe yet?" Chen Miao also thought of this.
They were all worried about the situation outside, but after three hours, there was still no news.
Liang Caixia got up last. "Three girls, don't take Yun Xin and the others out in the future."
Chen Miao still shook her head, "Mom, I know, but life is not good for everyone, and there are many children in every family. I can imagine how my two children will survive without using my brain." At this point, Chen Miao said.
Miao smiled, but the smile was full of bitterness.
Even so, everyone still went back at noon. Only mother and daughter Liang Caixia and Chen Dou stayed.
Chen Miao sent away her mother's family, which still had a lot of work. She didn't feel uncomfortable if she repeated the tedious work every day, knowing that this is how people live.
"Your fifth uncle and others came out for interrogation. This time, ten teams of two dogs came out, and each team robbed three villages of food."
Chen Tong ran away excitedly, and Chen Chunsheng also finished eating.
The vegetable pancakes Chen Miao made for lunch today had some oily residue in them, which brought out the flavor immediately.
I felt relieved when I saw Li Wenquan with more than a dozen people. All the two dogs had been taken care of. Since there was no danger, I felt relieved. I could go back and sleep peacefully.
"Third sister, I definitely don't know how to do it. Mother, I will follow you." Chen Tong just looked at how easy it was to put the soles on his shoes. He knew how to do it, but he had never done it before.
Chen Miao shook her head, "Mom, what will I do if I don't take them with me? In this world, I don't trust anyone with my children. To put it bluntly, if I die, will they live? At least I will be with you." Peace of mind.”
The two sisters continued to paste the paper. They also used some cloth ends. Chen Miao thought that she would make cotton-padded shoes whenever she had time. Summer was okay. What she needed most was cotton-padded clothes and shoes.
"Mom, third sister, I can also wear shoe soles."
"It's from Xiaofeng's family. Don't worry. Your fifth uncle said you don't need to go to them. They will go to support other villages after they get the news." Even so, how could he not be worried? But he also knew that they would help even in the past. Not too busy.
Shen Wufu's wife smiled, "No need. It'll be fine if you're all back."
It was getting dark soon, so the women went back with the shoes they were making. They would be better off if they had a little sleep at night.
"Of course, but you can't do it and play at the same time."
Chen Miaoren was relieved now.
"Dad, if you have time, give me a bigger wooden basin. The basin Yun Xin and his family use to bathe is too small."
Someone came over early the next day to make shoes. Looking at the way a few women were distracted, I knew they were worried about the men who hadn't come back yet.
"Aunts, please go back and take a look."
"No one of our people was injured, right?"
The work in the hands of several women was faster. After experiencing this thrilling experience again, I felt even more grateful to the team in my heart.
Now everyone feels more at ease.
Liang Caixia was not idle either, teaching her youngest son how to put soles on his shoes. Chen Tong was smart, and he didn’t have much skill in how to put soles on his shoes. His mother would correct any mistakes in a timely manner, not to mention he was pretty decent.
There were two pots of vegetable pancakes, shredded radish soup, and some vermicelli. I also got a handful of peanuts for Chen Chunsheng. Only men in charge of the household are treated like this.
"Sister-in-law, please make your cotton shoes thicker."
"Er Gouzi. I just let five of them go. Three of them were injured, and all five were tied up."
"That's what your fifth uncle and Tang Laifu said."
"Chen Dou, go and ask dad and Chen Tong to come over for dinner." There were no outsiders today, so he asked dad to come over for dinner.
After the two children fell asleep, she went out with an empty shelf.
At around nine o'clock, Erdan ran in and said, "Third Aunt, Fifth Master, and the others are back."
Team ten came and people were sent to check. Chen Miao was quite puzzled as to why Shen Wufu and Tang Laifu didn't send people there? Forget it if they don't understand, they must have their thoughts.
"There are a few, but none of them are seriously injured."
"If you do it seriously, I will give you three cents a day." Chen Miao said calmly.
"You have a natal family, and there are also people from the Shen family."
Now everyone can feel relieved.
"Third girl, there isn't that much cotton left."
"It's okay, we'll talk about it in a few days. I went to the county town a few years ago."
"Are you still going out? There must have been chaos a year ago."
"It's okay. The boss at Buzhuang in the county town is very good and can deliver it. Just go outside the county town. The boss in the town can also deliver it."
Yang Yuemei stopped talking about adding a layer of cotton to the uppers.
