On this day, Lei San, the squad leader of the Polu Regiment, was preparing a meal in the canteen, a little absent-minded. His seven soldiers had prepared their meals and were waiting for him to sit down and start eating together. However, Lei San walked to another big table and was minding his own business.
I picked up the white rice and swallowed it.
Lei San's seven soldiers were stunned, and sent a soldier nicknamed "Skinny Monkey" to call Lei San.
"Squad leader, won't you eat with us?"
Lei San was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had thrown the seven soldiers aside. He was a little embarrassed, so he quickly picked up the lunch box and walked to the table occupied by his subordinates, and sat down with the seven soldiers.
The seven soldiers then happily started to eat.
While eating, the seven soldiers started chatting.
"This time the Governor's new factory is recruiting people, who are you guaranteeing?"
"I will protect my brother! My family is poor, and my family will be better off if my brother comes!"
"I will protect my eldest sister's family. She has begged me several times. My brother-in-law is very honest and can't grow a bowl of rice in the fields all year round. If I don't protect her family, they will eat the chaff."
"I protect my eldest brother. My eldest brother has been the best to me since I was a child. If I have the opportunity this time, I will let him live a good life."
When Lei San heard what his men said and saw that they all vouched for his brothers and sisters at home, his expression became more solemn. He just lowered his head to eat his food without saying a word.
"Skinny Monkey" took a bite of meat, looked at the squad leader, and said: "Squad leader, you are an officer. The people you sponsor will get extra points, and they are more likely to be recruited during the interview! Who are you sponsoring this time?"
Lei San wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand and said, "I haven't decided yet!"
Thin Monkey said: "You haven't decided yet! The list will be submitted the day after tomorrow!"
Lei San said coldly: "I know!"
The thin monkey looked at the monitor's face, grinned, and did not dare to ask any more questions.
After dinner, Lei San did not go back to the barracks. Instead, he walked alone to the villa he bought with a loan. The furniture in the villa was all furnished. Lei San used fire sticks to light up the oil lamps in the four rooms. He watched.
In that bright house, Lei San forgot about the struggles of the past few days, and felt a sense of happiness in his heart.
If you marry another wife, you won't lack anything, right?
These are all good days given to him by the governor.
Lei San was rejoicing there when he heard someone downstairs banging on the door loudly, as if he wanted to smash the door panel.
Lei San was stunned for a moment, then quickly went down and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Lei San saw his father, eldest brother and sister-in-law standing outside the door.
When Lei San's father saw Lei San, he snorted coldly.
"I knew you must be here!"
Lei San's father walked into Lei San's villa carelessly, pulled up a chair and sat in the living room. He looked around Lei San's villa, and said to his eldest son: "Boss, Liu Zi, don't be stunned.
, come sit down, why are you and Lei San so polite?"
Lei San's eldest brother smiled, and also pulled out a chair and sat in the living room. Lei San, on the other hand, stood there alone, like an unwelcome guest.
Lei San's sister-in-law looked at Lei San's face, smiled, pulled out a chair, and said: "Leisan, you sit down too, this is your villa! What does it mean if you stand? Everyone sits and talks!"
Lei San frowned and turned to look at the bluestone pavement outside the door without moving.
Lei San's father didn't care when he saw Lei San not sitting down. Instead, he patted the table and said, "Lei San, you were not in good health when you were a child. You got sick every day. Your mother and I worked hard to support you.
Da, now you are promising! You are now the squad leader!"
"This time your general recruits new workers and asks for guarantees. This is your chance to repay your family."
"Your eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law farm twenty acres of the Liu family's thin farmland, and they don't dare to have children. If you help your eldest brother and his family work in a textile factory this time, I will not raise your son in vain."
Lei San glanced at his biological father and said nothing.
After Lei San's father said this, the three of them waited for Lei San to answer. But Lei San didn't speak for a long time, making the scene a little awkward.
Lei San's father looked at Lei San's face, was stunned, and became a little worried. He stood up, dragged the chair that Lei San's sister-in-law had pulled out to Lei San, and said, "Lei San, sit down.
Sit and talk!”
Lei San looked at the chair but did not sit down.
Lei San's father became a little angry. He looked at Lei San coldly and said, "Leisan, what do you mean? I let you speak!"
Lei San took a breath and said, "I want to protect Brother Yang this time!"
Lei San's father was stunned, as if he heard a bolt from the blue, and looked at his eldest son with his mouth wide open. Lei San's brother and sister-in-law were even more nervous. After hearing Lei San's words, they stood up anxiously.
.They looked at Lei San anxiously, as if they had heard bad news.
"Lei San, you can't protect Yang Ming! I'm your eldest brother! You won't help me?"
Lei San's father shouted loudly: "Yang Ming and you are not related! Do you protect him?"
Lei San looked at his biological father coldly and said: "I was often sick when I was young, and it was all caused by hunger. Every time I went to serve rice, you said there was not enough food. I never had enough food at home."
"But Brother Yang took pity on me and often gave me rice balls to eat. If Brother Yang had broth at home, he would definitely bring me a bowl."
"When I was seven years old, I had a high fever. Both you and my mother said that I was going to die, so they left me alone. It was Brother Yang who dragged his father to buy me medicine, boiled it for me to drink, and saved me."
"If it weren't for Brother Yang, I would have died of illness long ago!"
After hearing Lei San's words, Lei San's elder brother felt like a basin of water poured down from his head and sat down heavily on the chair. Lei San's sister-in-law looked at her husband, then at Lei San, and was so angry that she waved her hands and walked out.
Lei San's villa.
When Lei San and his eldest brother saw this, they were so anxious that they chased him to the door and shouted: "Liu Zi! Liu Zi! Don't be angry!" But he was unwilling to give up on Lei San and stood at the door unable to move forward or retreat, looking at Lei San anxiously.
Lei San said: "When Brother Yang's father was around, his family's livelihood was pretty good, but his father died a few years ago. As a result, those bad guys bullied Brother Yang, a good man, and added layers of land to his family's fields.
Land tax, the grain harvested from his family’s more than 20 acres of land throughout the year is not even enough to pay the land tax. He is twenty-four and has not yet gotten married.”
"Brother Yang is in such a miserable state now, I have to help him!"
"Eldest brother, I paid for the second brother's marriage. I also give my parents one tael of silver every month. I have done enough for the family. This time I want to help Brother Yang!"
Lei San's father looked at Lei San in despair. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly became furious and rushed forward to hit Lei San.
"I'll beat you to death, you traitor!"
Lei San didn't react for a moment, so he was slapped on the face by his father, and his body was knocked crooked. Lei San's father slapped Lei San, but he still didn't understand his hatred, and waved his fist and continued to hit Lei San. Lei San frowned
He grabbed his father's fist and threw his father to the ground.
