"Old Xu, Old Xu?" Wang Husheng said as he hurriedly walked into the yard, "I have counted and found that more than a hundred soldiers participated in the commendation. Folks from all over the country also said they would come to attend the commendation meeting. Mei
I'm afraid the ancestral hall can't hold so many people, so we can only hold an open-air commendation meeting outside the ancestral hall. However, I feel that the little devil will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss this time. This sweep
It will definitely continue, so should this commendation meeting be postponed until the anti-mopping up is over?"
Wang Husheng hurriedly walked into the east chamber, and then heard thunderous snoring. ◎,
When he walked in, Wang Husheng saw Xu Rui lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, and he was actually asleep.
"Old Xu, Old Xu?" Wang Husheng stepped forward and pushed Xu Rui, but there was no response, and he was snoring loudly.
Wang Husheng couldn't bear to wake up Xu Rui again. All the commanders and soldiers who participated in this battle were tired, but who was the most tired, it was Xu Rui! Not only was he the backbone of the independent regiment, he had to be there at the critical moment.
Making up his mind and making decisions, he is also the de facto captain of the Wolf Fang Team and the sharpest knife in the whole group!
But no matter how strong Xu Rui is, he is still made of flesh and blood and will still feel sleepy.
The sound of light footsteps suddenly came from behind. When Wang Husheng hurriedly looked back, he saw Sai Hongfu walking in quietly holding a copper washbasin. Behind Sai Hongfu, there was also Xiao Taohong, who was holding a copper washbasin.
Carrying a teapot, there was steam coming out of the spout, obviously containing freshly boiled water.
Seeing that it was Wang Husheng, Sai Hongfu was about to wake Xu Rui up, but was stopped by Wang Husheng.
"Shh." Wang Husheng made a silent gesture, and then whispered, "Old Xu must be exhausted, so let him sleep. Don't disturb him. If anything happens, I'll come back to him."
Sai Hongfu whispered: "Political Commissar, he was just talking about the commendation meeting."
"It's okay, just let him sleep." Wang Husheng said, "I have the final say about the commendation meeting, so he doesn't have to worry about it. I am the political commissar. He will take care of the war, and I will take care of everything else."
Sai Hongfu stopped insisting on waking Xu Rui up. In fact, she felt sorry for Xu Rui even more.
Wang Husheng walked away quietly, and Sai Hongfu walked forward with the washbasin, put the washbasin away first, and then sat on the edge of the bed to take off Xu Rui's shoes, but she had obviously never served anyone before and looked clumsy.
Xiao Taohong pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Miss, it's better for me to take care of my uncle."
Saying that, Xiao Taohong rolled up her sleeves and came forward to help. Xiao Taohong was used to being a waiter, so her hands and feet were much more agile than those of Zi Hongfu. She took off Xu Rui's boots in a few clicks and pulled Xu Rui's boots off.
Rui rolled up his trouser legs, then poured the boiling water from the teapot into the cold basin to adjust the water temperature.
Finally, Xiao Taohong helped Sai Hongfu turn Xu Rui's body sideways, letting his legs hang down from the edge of the bed and his feet stretched out into the basin.
"It stinks." Sai Hongfu squatted down and said while rubbing Xu Rui's feet, "No wonder people in the world say stinky men, stinky men, men really stinky, they really stink."
Xiao Taohong burst into laughter when she heard this.
"Damn girl, why are you laughing?"
"They say men stink, but they are all so cute."
"It's true, I treasure him and cherish him." Sai Hongfu raised his face, glanced at Xu Rui, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and said with some confusion, "It's really strange. In terms of appearance, he is not handsome.
At most, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes that are not annoying, and in terms of his mouth, he is much more eloquent and pleasing to people, but why do I fall in love with him? "
"My uncle is better than you." Xiao Taohong curled her lips and said, "If my uncle can't beat you, no matter how handsome he is and how eloquent he is, I'm afraid, miss, you won't even look at him."
"Not entirely." Sai Hongfu shook his head and said, "When it comes to skills, there are not many young heroes from the Qingbai Group and the Fuxing Society who are better than me, but they are not without them. Let's talk about Wu Han, whether it's fighting or concealed weapons.
It's better than me by a lot, but I just can't take a liking to it, but I fell in love with this beast at first sight."
Xiao Taohong thought about it seriously and said: "Then, it is fate. There is a saying, we are destined to come back thousands of miles, but if we are not destined to meet each other, we may not know each other. Although Captain Wu and the young lady belong to the same Qingbai regiment and get along day and night, but you
We are not destined to be together, so the young lady did not take a fancy to him, but young lady, you and your uncle are destined to be in love, so you fell in love at first sight."
"Is it fate?" Sai Hongfu looked up at Xu Rui, feeling like his heart was filled with something.
At this time, a melodious harmonica sound suddenly floated out of the window. After listening carefully, it was the song that was spread all over the country: My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast.
The tune is gentle, but it reveals indescribable sadness and helplessness.
"It sounds so good." Sai Hongfu sighed softly, "The nerd's harmonica has improved again."
"Captain He must be homesick." Xiao Taohong said, her beautiful eyes turned red, and she said, "Miss, I'm homesick too. When are we going back to Nanjing?"
"Nanjing?" Sai Hongfu said sadly, "But we can't go back."
Only then did Xiao Taohong remember that the master, his wife and her mother had all fled to Wuhan, and the headquarters of the Qingbai Regiment had also moved to Wuhan. Xiao Taohong raised her head and looked westward in the direction of Wuhan, thinking silently in her heart
Wait, mother, how are you doing in Wuhan? My daughter misses you so much.
(Dividing line)
Thousands of miles away, the city of Wuhan is bathed in the hustle and bustle of night.
After the Sino-Japanese war broke out, refugees from the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Pingjin areas poured into Wuhan.
Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the three towns of Wuhan have been the thoroughfares of nine provinces. Now a sudden influx of people has caused the entire city to be overcrowded, showing a kind of morbid prosperity.
In the crowded crowd, a female student with big braids and a blue cloth jacket and black skirt stood out.
The female student has fair skin, big eyes, and a pair of cute dimples on her cheeks. Everywhere she passes, pedestrians turn their heads. There is a young man with a small parted hair and a briefcase on his back. He keeps turning his head and ends up not paying attention to the person in front of him.
road, and finally hit a telephone pole on the side of the road, passing out on the spot.
The female student was completely unaware of all this. She just hummed softly "My home is on the Songhua River in the Northeast" and kept comparing the house numbers on the street with the paper in her hand.
Finally, the female student stopped outside the door of a newspaper office.
"No. 18 Zhang Zhidong Road, Hankou Branch of Miller's Review, that's it." The female student looked at the house number and one of the many plaques hanging at the gate, and finally a smile appeared on her pretty face.
An elderly man stuck his head out of the concierge and asked warily: "Girl, who are you looking for?"
The female student immediately came forward and said, "Old man, I'm looking for Mr. Stephen, David Stephen."
"Oh, you are looking for David, so you are here to apply for a translator?" The old man nodded, then pointed to the row of bungalows in the gate and said, "The fourth one from the left."
Soon, the female student knocked on the door of David Stephen's room.
David was really shocked when he saw the female student appearing outside the door.
David could not use words to describe the oriental girl in front of him. He just felt that this was the most beautiful angel he had ever seen in his life. He was so dumbfounded at the moment that he forgot that it was very impolite to look at a girl like this.
The female student was a little shy when David saw her. She blushed and asked in English: "Excuse me, is Mr. David Stephen here?"
"Ah? Yeah, yeah, I am, I am David Stephen." David woke up from his dream and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, beautiful lady, I really shouldn't have stared at you like that just now, it was so serious
It’s very rude, but your beauty really captivates me, I think you will be able to forgive me for not being able to help myself, right?”
I must admit that this American is very good at pleasing girls.
The pretty face of the female student became redder and redder. She lowered her head and whispered: "Mr. Stephen, my name is Liang Yixiao. I saw the recruitment letter you posted on our school bulletin board. I want to give it a try."
"Do you want to apply for a job as a translator?" David was stunned for a moment and then said, "Ms. Liang, with your English conversation skills, you are more than qualified to be my translator. However, I must explain that this time you are going to the Japanese-occupied area.
, so the risk is very high, and I may not be able to guarantee your life safety."
Liang smiled and lowered his head and said nothing.
David thought Liang Yixiao had backed down, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. To be honest, he really hoped that he could have such a beautiful translator. Even if he couldn't develop a foreign relationship, he just faced such a beautiful translator every day.
, that’s also a pleasing thing, isn’t it?
At that moment, David asked again: "Ms. Liang, do you still want to apply for a job as a translator?"
"Yes." To David's expectation, Liang Yixiao suddenly raised his head and said, "I want to apply for a translator, but can you advance part of the remuneration, because..."
Speaking of this, Liang Yixiao's voice suddenly became softer until he could no longer hear it.
David was a straight-tempered man and said seriously: "Ms. Liang, getting paid according to work is the only rule in the domestic servant industry. Ordinarily, I can't give you an advance payment, but if you can provide me with a justifiable reason,
It’s not that I can’t consider it at all, so why do you want to advance part of your remuneration?”
"I want to donate." Liang Yixiao raised his head and said to David seriously.
"Donate?" David thought of many possibilities, but he didn't think of this one.
"Yes, I want to donate. I have read reports that our soldiers are still wearing single clothes and bare feet in the winter, and can't even afford a pair of straw sandals. Although it is almost summer now, there is no need to worry.
The soldiers were freezing, but because there was no medicine, many injured soldiers only suffered minor injuries, but in the end they became disabled and even lost their lives." At this point, Liang Yixiao's big eyes were filled with tears, and he cried, "
So I want to do my best to donate to the soldiers so that they no longer have to sacrifice their lives because of lack of medicine."
