Ten days later, Xu Rui returned to Baotou with more than five million kilograms of grain.
Fu Zuoyi did not break his promise. As expected, he gave half of the food to the Chahar Independent Regiment and even undertook the transportation task from Guisui to Baotou for free. However, the transportation team's rations had to be borne by the Chahar Independent Regiment. Of course Xu Rui took this
No objection, after all, if people are transferred from Baotou to transport food, they must also provide food rations.
At this time, it was already the Lantern Festival of 1940.
As soon as he entered the station, Xu Rui felt that the atmosphere in the regiment was a bit strange.
Because no matter who he met along the way, Xu Rui felt strange. It was a feeling that could not be described in words. It was as if something important had happened in the group. Everyone already knew about it, and he was the only one left.
The group leader didn't know, and it seemed that the whole group had agreed not to tell him.
After entering the regiment headquarters, Xu Rui finally couldn't help it anymore and asked Wang Husheng: "Old Wang, why do I feel that all the brothers in the regiment are acting weird today? Tell me honestly, is there something important you are hiding from me?"
"No, Lao Xu, what are you thinking about?" Wang Husheng said with a smile, "If there is really something big, who would dare to hide it from you."
"I'm sorry you don't dare to hide it from me." Xu Rui snorted, but his brows still didn't relax. He still felt something was wrong.
The headquarters of the Chahar Independent Regiment rents a large courtyard. In addition to the headquarters offices here, more than 100 members of the Langya Brigade are also stationed here. However, the Langya Brigade is in the front yard and the regiment headquarters is in the backyard.
In the office, there is a hanging flower door between the front yard and the backyard. As soon as he walked through the hanging flower door, Xu Rui was stunned.
Because Xu Rui saw a very familiar back, a beautiful figure, wearing a white embroidered cotton jacket, even the cotton trousers on her feet were as pure white, as clean as a piece of snow, although the beautiful figure had her back to Xu Rui
, but Xu Rui still recognized her at a glance, Jiangnan, she is Jiangnan!
Xu Rui opened his mouth, and Jiangnan was about to shout.
But halfway through the shouting, it got stuck in Xu Rui's throat.
Unknowingly, Xu Rui's eyes filled with tears.
Xu Rui never thought that one day he would cry because of being reunited with his wife and daughter. Before that, he once thought that even if death was imminent, he would not frown, let alone cry because of it.
, but now, Xu Rui's tears are flowing down uncontrollably, like a string of broken pearls.
I don’t know when Wang Husheng left.
Jiang Nan, who had his back to the hanging flower door, seemed to feel it and turned around leisurely.
In an instant, a woman's delicate dimples were revealed in front of Xu Rui.
It may be a bit cliché to use the word "closed moon and shy flower", but apart from this word, Xu Rui really can't find a more appropriate adjective. The storm of difficult childbirth does not seem to have left many traces on her body.
She looks brighter and more attractive than before, and has a bit more charm.
Turning around and seeing Xu Rui coming back, Jiang Nan had a faint smile on his face.
Looking at Jiang Nan's smile, Xu Rui was in a trance. He immediately recalled the scene when Uncle Liufu's family met Jiang Nan for the first time in Baoxing Town. At that time, Jiang Nan's smile was also so beautiful and clean.
, Wenwan, as if she were a fairy without any earthly fireworks, but now, she is the mother of his daughter!
"Jiangnan!" Xu Rui finally shouted out the sound stuck in his throat.
"The road is blocked by heavy snow, why are you here?" Xu Rui said with concern, "You just had a caesarean section not long ago, what should you do if you are tired?"
Jiang Nan lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I miss you."
Xu Rui's heart trembled, and he couldn't say any more reproachful words.
Xu Rui's eyes fell on Jiang Nan's arms again and asked: "Our daughter?"
Jiang Nan hummed softly, and a pair of beautiful eyes fell on the baby in his arms.
Almost instantly, Jiang Nan's pretty face was filled with the brilliance of a loving mother. She hugged the swaddling clothes tightly with one hand, and gently opened a corner of the swaddling clothes with the other hand, and then whispered to the baby inside: "
The swaddled baby turned out to be Hong Guo'er, not Jiangnan's daughter Pistachio.
Xu Rui walked over in two steps and saw a pink, chubby little face.
Hong Guo'er is seven months old and is already very beautiful, especially her big watery eyes. She is exactly the same as Sai Hongfu. When she grows up, she will be one of the most beautiful girls in the world.
Jiang Nan was afraid that Xu Rui would be sad because he saw Sai Hongfu's shadow on Hong Guo'er, so he gently tapped Hong Guo'er's little face with his fingers and said softly: "Little Guo'er, call me daddy, hurry up and call me daddy."
Hongguo'er really screamed twice, it was really similar.
Xu Rui's heart suddenly softened, and he subconsciously reached out his hand to pick up his daughter.
Hong Guo'er didn't even recognize her. Instead of resisting Xu Rui, she stretched out her chubby little hand to touch Xu Rui's face. As a result, she touched the beard on Xu Rui's face that he didn't have time to shave off. Xu Rui was afraid of hurting her daughter.
He was about to move his face away with his little hands, but Hong Guoer held his face with her little hands and giggled.
Seeing Hong Guoer's smiling face, Xu Rui's heart melted step by step.
While teasing his daughter, Xu Rui asked Jiang Nandao: "Where are the pistachios?"
"Little Guoguo is still too young to walk such a long distance. Besides, she can't live without her nanny, so I didn't bring her here." At this point, Jiang Nan's pretty face turned slightly red, and she also blamed herself a little, and whispered.
explained, "After I gave birth to little Guoguo, I couldn't breastfeed for a long time. I had no choice but to find a wet nurse in Yan'an."
After a pause, Jiang Nan continued: "Am I a very incompetent mother?"
"How can I blame you?" Xu Rui quickly released a hand to hold Jiang Nan in his arms.
The family of three warmed up for a while, and Xu Rui asked again: "By the way, Mom is still fat."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cheer immediately sounded in the wing room not far away: "Uncle, did you just think of me?"
When he looked back, he saw Pang Dun, that is, Wang Yusheng, running out of the wing like a gust of wind, followed by Aunt Wang. While chasing, Aunt Wang told Pang Dun to run slower and not to fall.
Xu Rui handed the red fruit back to Jiangnan, then stretched out his hand to pick up Pang Dun, and then threw it away casually. Pang Dun's little body immediately flew into the air, and when he fell down again, he was riding steadily on Xu Rui's body.
On his shoulders, riding a big horse! Even though Aunt Wang was used to seeing the two of them playing like this, she was still frightened.
Xu Rui grabbed Pang Dun's feet and shouted sweetly to Aunt Wang: "Mom."
Aunt Wang let out a soft cry, her mood so hot that the wrinkles on her forehead stretched out.
Xu Rui said again: "Mom, you must be exhausted after walking such a long way, right? Go inside and have a rest."
"Why are you so tired?" Aunt Wang said nonchalantly, "It's been several days since we arrived in Baotou, and Xiao Wang won't let us do this or touch that. Old lady, I'm almost at a loss.
Damn it, if you don’t come back, I’m going to take Xiaonan, Pangdun and Hongguoer back to Yan’an.”
Xu Rui quickly changed the topic and asked Pang Dun: "Pang Dun, have you practiced martial arts recently?"
"Yes." Pang Dun responded, and then slid off Xu Rui's back, swinging his horse's stride.
The last time Xu Rui returned to Dameishan, he only taught Pang Dun the horse step. For more than half a year and almost a year, Pang Dun got up early every day to do the horse step, rain or shine, and he had already practiced it very solidly. Xu Rui kicked him.
The little guy's calf didn't move at all. Of course, Xu Rui didn't exert any serious force.
"Not bad." Xu Rui nodded happily, "It seems like I'm not lazy."
Fatty immediately cheered loudly and said: "Uncle, so I can practice fighting?"
"Of course." Xu Rui nodded with a smile and added, "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to fight."
"Great." Pangdun waved his fist fiercely and said, "When I learn how to fight, I have to smash that little fat guy's ass into pieces. How dare he challenge me? This is intolerable!"
Xu Rui's face immediately darkened and he said seriously: "Pang Dun, what did you just say?"
Fatty didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet, so he said angrily: "It's a little fat guy from the next street. He has learned wrestling for several years. He has knocked me down a lot in the past few years. He almost knocked me on both my buttocks."
It's blooming." As he said that, Pang Dun touched his butt with his hand and made a few pretending ouch.
Qingqing had a conflict with a neighbor's child.
Aunt Wang wanted to reprimand her, but Xu Rui stopped her.
Xu Rui snorted, then shouted loudly: "Private Wang Yusheng."
Fatty was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing, stood at attention and said, "Yes!"
Xu Rui put his hands behind his back, stared at Pang Dun and said: "Comrade Wang Yusheng, I am now officially warning you that practicing martial arts is not for fighting, let alone showing off one's strength, but for killing the enemy and serving the country.
It belongs to the Japanese! So, it’s okay to compete with others, but if you dare to bully others with force, military discipline and national law will not spare you!"
Fatty was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he still responded loudly with his small chest: Yes!
"Very good, a kid can be taught." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Now I'll teach you the first lesson, punch!"
After a few brief explanations, Fatty stood in a corner of the yard to practice. The little fat man was still very determined to practice martial arts, and he never tired of such boring exercises. When Aunt Wang saw it, she felt sad and confused.
She was relieved, but she quickly wiped away her tears, took Hong Guo'er from Jiang Nan's arms, turned around and walked away.
Jiang Nan leaned sideways and gently snuggled into Xu Rui's arms, saying, "A Rui, isn't this a dream?"
"No." Xu Rui hugged Jiang Nan tightly and said softly, "The good days have just begun."
