Shen Jianchun and his guerrilla comrades were surrounded by too many young wives.
"Don't worry, don't worry, our village will have a large increase and 20% will be sacrificed, and the rest will be fine."
After hearing this, everyone felt more at ease.
"Brother Jianchun, is my Dunzi injured? Can I go over and take a look?"
"It's okay to be injured. Don't worry, everyone. The county is very strict now. They are checking if there are any spies. They won't let you in at all. Just wait at home and you will get caught."
Don’t worry, the injured are in the hospital and there are doctors, and the uninjured are all at work.”
Now everyone felt more at ease and went to help with the work. The shrouds of the two of them were not ready yet.
Shen Jianchun and his guerrilla comrades rushed to the side.
"Comrade Shen, I'll go back first. There's still a lot of work to do."
"Comrade, you go home and have dinner. I have already told my wife to go home and do it."
That means you have to drag him back.
Zhao Xiaoyun immediately made pancakes when he got home. It was a quick meal and he was not good at entertaining guests.
"Jiaojiao, go to your aunt's house and order some braised sesame water."
I didn't dare to touch the meat if I had it at home, so I had to go to Chen Miao to get it.
After Jiaojiao said that, Chen Miao held her belt and led her to the side room, where he brought a basin of water, two pieces of elbow meat, and a piece of pork belly.
"Be careful not to fall."
"Yeah." Jiaojiao already knew what happened. She and her brother had already visited her father, but she was injured and then went home to look after the house.
When Shen Jianchun brought his people back and unloaded the donkey to feed, the two of them entered the house.
The water has been cut into pieces, the pork belly has been cut into slices and stir-fried, and there is also a scrambled egg, but no stir-fried vegetables.
"Comrade Wang, if I were to do this in the past, I would buy you a drink."
"Understood, I have never eaten this food before."
Shen Jianchun smiled bitterly, "My family doesn't have the ability to eat such good food. It belongs to the battalion commander's family."
All guerrilla fighters know Chen Miao. She has given them so much help that it can be said that everyone regards her as a benefactor.
He has a particularly good relationship with Chen Yi and they know how many good things Comrade Chen has done.
Shen Jianchun has no appetite at all now, even with such a good meal.
"Comrade Shen, you'll just have to get used to it in the future. At that time, our village was completely killed by the little devils. Only a few of us children who were thrown into the haystack by the adults survived.
We were also devastated at that time. Later we joined the guerrillas and saw more dead people."
Listening to this soldier who was younger than himself talk about his experiences, Shen Jianchun suddenly felt that his family might be too lucky.
After Xiao Wang finished eating, he was ready to leave. The little donkey outside should also be full.
Zhao Xiaoyun hurriedly found the packaging paper and wanted to bring him food back.
"Sister-in-law, I won't take you. I'm very satisfied after eating such a good meal."
Zhao Xiaoyun sent Xiao Wang away and asked the man to eat something. "I really don't want to eat a bite."
"Is it okay if you don't eat? Jiaojiaozi Kang comes over to eat with your father. I'm going to help."
You don't have to participate in red affairs in the countryside, but you must be in place for white affairs. Otherwise, if your elderly family member dies in the future, others will not come to help you.
He took a few simple bites, but couldn't taste the aroma, so he knew he was getting angry.
He doesn't want to go out. He doesn't want to see the way others look at him.
I know this won't work, but I just don't want to face it.
After cleaning up, Jiaojiao sat down next to her father. "Dad, does your arm hurt?"
"pain."
Shen Jianchun looked at his distressed daughter and rubbed her head. "Although it hurts, at least it proves that I am still alive and have a life."
"Dad, is it particularly dangerous on the battlefield?"
"Of course. How can there be times when there is no danger on the battlefield?
It's too cruel, Dad hopes that you will never go to the battlefield again."
Shen Wufu came in and heard his son's words. He didn't know what to say.
"Dad, please sit down and rest for a while. There is still food, so you should eat some too."
Jiaojiao has already gotten up and went to serve grandpa food.
"Dad, the army gives each martyr five yuan for burial expenses."
Even the common people heard that five yuan was too little, so he lowered his head after speaking.
"Five yuan? That's fine. It's quite a lot." I can't say less, I can only wait until the village takes more care of them in the future.
"We'll wait until after the burial." Shen Wufu said and left. There were still many things to do. I wonder if the trumpeter has arrived?
"Dad, you go to bed, your arm is injured and you can't help."
Shen Jianchun looked at his daughter with relief, knowing that she felt sorry for her now that she was older, she was indeed too sleepy.
Jiaojiao looked at her brother after her father lay down, "Zikang, you watch your father at home, I'll go to your aunt's house and tell her." She thought it was important to give five yuan, and she should tell her aunt.
"Sister, you go, I'll be at home."
After hearing Jiaojiao's words, Chen Miao let out a long sigh, "Five yuan for a life."
"Auntie."
"I said five yuan for a life is too cheap, but since the war, how many people have died? Our army is poor and without the support of family capitalists, five yuan is the limit."
"Auntie, don't frown."
Chen Miao twitched her lips and said, "Okay, aunt, don't frown anymore. Jiaojiao, please go back. I saw your grandfather asked him to come to me. It's not convenient for aunt to go out."
"Okay, aunt, I'm going to find my grandpa."
Jiaojiao found her grandfather at Ercheng's house and told him in a low voice.
When Shen Wufu arrived at Chen Miao's house, Zhou Ziqi poured him some water.
"Uncle Wu, I'll make a long story short, the five yuan given by the army is too little, so our village will give four yuan, and we will give Shen Jianfeng ten yuan."
Shen Wufu knew that this was really a lot. "Okay, let's wait until after the burial to discuss this matter.
Don't get angry, things have already happened, there's no point in getting angry."
Chen Miao knew that she just felt uncomfortable and felt too depressed.
Shen Jianchun didn't come here, so he doesn't know how many people died in other villages. In fact, he doesn't necessarily know.
They just hoped that as few people would die as possible, Chen Yi and Chen Tong didn't know what to do.
Anyway, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
When I heard the noise outside, I was just about to pick up the door curtain and go out, when I heard my mother's voice.
"Third girl, I went to ask. Chen Tong was seriously injured and he said he has recovered."
"Shen Jianchun said that?"
"Well, Jianchun told me that Liu Kui and the others are fine too."
Chen Miao wondered why Shen Jianfeng didn't tell him when he came back? It should be nothing serious, otherwise he wouldn't have told him.
"Mom, I have time to go to the county town and have a look."
Liang Caixia immediately shook her head, "No, Jianchun said that the county is not allowed to enter now, so they are arresting people. Besides, you should stay at home with such a big belly. But don't go out and take risks. I'm just not injured." Whatever it is, don’t worry about it all the time.”
