Chapter 20: An Uncle Comes to Your Home
"Come! Help us push." Ma Xiaojun said.
An Eighth Route Army brother pushed the wheelbarrow and entered Tianjia Village under the leadership of squad leader Wu.
"A lot of equipment!" the brother pushing the wheelbarrow said with envy.
Squad leader Wu also laughed and glanced at the equipment on the wheelbarrow from time to time. 'No! We must get this kid to the independent group.'
No matter how the little brother in front of me managed to get all the equipment on this unicycle, he still had the ability.
After entering Tianjia Village, Ma Xiaojun said: "I'll be waiting on the village street. You go call the folks in the village, but don't forget to call my daughter-in-law Qimei.
Especially our father-in-law, we want to increase his face."
"Don't worry, little brother, we will do whatever you tell us to do." Squad Leader Wu said as he squinted at the equipment that filled the unicycle.
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to us and just kick me, that's it! I'll replace you with a new one." Ma Xiaojun pointed to the 38-inch cover on the car.
Thirteen Japs' new rifles are much stronger than the old sleeves in the hands of Lao Wu and the others.
The so-called meeting is fate. Seeing that the guns in the hands of the three brothers are all worn out! I also thought of taking care of them.
"That's a great feeling! Just wait for us to gather the fellow villagers right away, and you can be as handsome as you want." Lao Wu said excitedly.
He had wanted to replace the old sleeve in his hand for a long time, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance! He had escaped from fighting with the Japanese along the way with this broken gun.
This thing polished the rifling, and soon the bullets couldn't even be fired.
Ma Xiaojun asked two brothers to put the cart under the big locust tree on the village street, and looked at the whole village with a smile.
suddenly!
A brother lit a torch and stuck it on the branch of the big locust tree.
"Haha! It's much brighter." Ma Xiaojun said happily.
Soon squad leader Wu called the village chief out. He came to Ma Xiaojun with a gong in his hand. When he saw a truck of equipment, he was startled and said: "Little brother, are you sending guns and ammunition with our militia?"
!?"
"What!?" Ma Xiaojun almost jumped up when he heard the village chief's words. 'When did I say that the things I worked so hard to get will be given to your militia!?'
bite!
The side mission starts: The Yangcun militia brigade headquarters is short of weapons and ammunition, and the superiors said to send an experienced soldier to be the militia captain.
Please ask the host to send weapons and equipment at the right time to support local comrades.
Reward after completing the task: a special reward of 50 kilograms of refined flour bag for the host.
‘If we can do this business, our wife will be able to eat white flour steamed buns today.’ When he heard the reward from the system, Ma Xiaojun smiled and said.
"Aren't you here to send equipment!?" The village chief was stunned for a moment.
"Hehe... of course I'm here to deliver equipment! Don't you see that they are all here? Not only did the superiors send it, but they also asked us, a young scholar, to perform a show for the people in the village. It's a lot of fun." Ma Xiaojun said with a smile.
"Little brother, what about changing the equipment!?" Old Wu whispered in Ma Xiaojun's ear.
"Change quickly, no one will stop you." Ma Xiaojun responded.
"Okay! Village chief, hurry up and gather the people to beat your gong." Squad Leader Wu immediately said happily.
He and two brothers immediately took a handful of 38-inch caps, and put their old sockets on the wheelbarrow.
The three of them grinned happily and giggled.
Boom-
A deafening sound of a gong echoed in the village, waking up all the villagers.
"Dad!" Tian Xiaomei woke up and jumped up from the bed.
Then the gong sounded, bang, bang, bang... it sounded unhurriedly, and this made Tian Xiaomei breathe a sigh of relief.
If there is some dangerous situation when the Japanese invade the village, the village chief's gong will be struck very urgently! This is a signal for the whole village to gather, and it also means that something important has happened.
"Little sister! Put on your clothes quickly and go under the big locust tree." Old man Tian, who had already gotten up, shouted in the main room.
Cough cough cough...
Old Man Tian coughed a few times and opened the door. He leaned on the big smoking gun he held by the hall door and refilled the pipe. He took out a match and lit it with a pop.
Boop!
Smoke filled the air, and the smoke he inhaled into his lungs exhaled from his mouth and nose: "I don't know what happened when the village chief asked the villagers to gather in the middle of the night!?"
"Dad, let's go!" Tian Xiaomei walked out.
"Wait a minute, your mother! This old woman wants to see everything." Old Man Tian said.
"Old man, you can't blame my wife for causing trouble to others." The younger sister's mother complained, taking small steps.
"It's not that I won't let you go, but you're walking slowly." Old Man Tian stood up and said.
Tian Xiaomei smiled and supported her mother's arm.
"It was not yet the Qing Dynasty, but my mother had her feet bound and couldn't walk fast! That's why your father disliked her.
I think my mother was from a scholarly family back then, otherwise why would she have married your father and turned her back to the sky?
I have never enjoyed a single day of peace." Tian Xiaomei's mother sighed.
Old man Tian was smoking a cigarette and did not answer his wife's words! If he had answered the words, he would have been nagging and complaining along the way.
Old man Tian opened the courtyard door. At this moment, the neighbor's third nephew ran over. He was so tired that he was out of breath.
"Uncle, an Eighth Route Army soldier came down from the big locust tree on the village street and pushed a cart full of guns and ammunition.
This man yelled that he was my little sister’s husband and he was here to consummate the wedding! You should hurry up and have a look.
You have an uncle coming to your house." Ah San said anxiously.
"What!?" Old man Tian was stunned.
"Dad, is it him!?" Tian Xiaomei was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look happy.
"Hurry up, old lady, you and my little sister are walking! I'm going to see if our uncle is here." Old man Tian walked forward quickly.
"Yes, I really do have an uncle." Ah San was stunned for a moment and said.
"Little sister, let's walk faster and see what our uncle is like." The younger sister's mother quickened her pace.
"Mom, I still don't know if it's him." Tian Xiaomei said.
She thought of Ma Xiaojun's handsome face and couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Under the big locust tree on the village street, Ma Xiaojun stood on a wheelbarrow and laughed as he watched more and more villagers surrounding him. He shouted arrogantly: "Little sister! Is the little sister here? I want more."
My father-in-law, Mr. Tian.
Look! We are the Japanese materials we captured.
Cans, guns and ammunition! Japanese helmets and big leather shoes.
Let me tell you, I am not bragging. This is our little scholar who killed a Japanese team by himself.
Who is my little scholar!? He is the famous sharpshooter of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
A team of Japs is chasing us..."
Ma Xiaojun started to brag and spit, and Old Wu next to him said with a dark face: "This kid is so bragging that he is not afraid of his tongue being blown by the wind."
"Look, look at the squad leader! He has two pieces of garlic in his pocket, and he doesn't know who he is? He killed a team of Japanese soldiers by himself, how dare he say this." The brother on the left of squad leader Wu looked at Ma Xiaojun and said unhappily.
"Damn it, it's embarrassing for us to hear this! He's a sharpshooter, and he's so good at it." The brother on the right of squad leader Wu also had a dark look on his face.
Isn’t this guy trying to discredit our Eighth Route Army? How can he be so awesome!?
At this time, Old Man Tian came over and saw that the person standing under the big locust tree was really his uncle! As he walked over excitedly, his face immediately dropped when he heard Ma Xiaojun's words.
"What is this kid bragging about!?"
Ma Xiaojun twisted his butt and jumped off the unicycle. While telling his own story, he started to dance without forgetting the system task.
Ma Xiaojun's sudden coquettish behavior made the villagers suddenly get goosebumps! For a moment, you could hear the needle drop in silence.
Chapter completed!
