Bai Magnolia was stunned for a moment, "From the second child's house, let our mother hold the child and help move it into the house quickly. Don't let anyone see it."

The second cousin sister-in-law quickly turned around and handed the son in her arms to her mother-in-law. She was very smart. At this time, she could work hard for food, not to talk about so many things.

Xiao Yuan tied the canvas again and reached out to grab two sacks, both weighing 200 kilograms. It was still very difficult for the woman, but he was very strong.

The three little girls stretched their heads to watch, not knowing what to look at. "Go to the main room. I'll give you sweets. Don't look here. I'll bump into you." Xiao Yuan asked them to enter the room.<

/p>

"Da Ya, take your sister and take these small ones, be careful!" Bai Magnolia asked the eldest daughter to pick up the small ones.

Xiao Yuan put two sacks of sweet potatoes into the main room. As soon as he came out of the door, he saw five men hurriedly coming out of the yard. It was his uncle Xiao Jincai, his uncle Xiao Jinxi, his first cousin Xiao Dongfang, and his second cousin Xiao Donglin. They were from his uncle's family.

Cousin Xiao Dongping.

"Uncle, uncle, eldest brother, second brother, Pingzi." Xiao Yuan took out his cigarette and greeted everyone.

"Xiao Yuan, you are finally back. It has been eleven years since you last visited us. Your grandma has been crying all day long." Xiao Jincai took the cigarette from his nephew, his hands trembling with excitement.

He felt very guilty for his nephew. As the eldest son, his second brother and his wife passed away. He really couldn't support him. It wasn't that he was heartless.

In 1947, his younger brother and sister-in-law passed away one after another, and he took care of the funeral arrangements. His eldest son had just gotten married, his second son was one year older than Xiao Yuan, and he had two little girls. He also had to take care of his old mother. They lived in a mountainous area.

There is no land at all, so we have to hunt for food, and there is still war outside.

"This time I changed my job and was assigned to work at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill as the deputy chief of the purchasing department, but I often have to travel." Xiao Yuan said with a smile. His knot had been resolved long ago. His predecessor wanted to understand it the first time he visited his home.

.

In that era, who could support a fifteen-year-old boy? They could eat and drink, and they were about to build a house and marry a wife, and they couldn’t even take care of their own children.

"It's good to have a job. Now that we are stable, we can quickly find a wife to get married. We are relieved. You see, Pingzi already has two children." Xiao Jinxi took the cigarette and was also very emotional. The nephew finally got out, and the second brother and second sister-in-law also

I can rest in peace.

"Dad, second uncle, you guys can talk to me later. Hurry up and help move things into the house and put them away. It won't be long before someone comes." Bai Magnolia had just moved in and hurriedly interrupted their chat.
p>

"Okay, Dongfang, Donglin, Pingzi, hurry up and help." Xiao Jincai then saw a few bags and big fish. Needless to say, it was food. This is a life-saving thing.

With more people and more strength, we not only moved the things in, but also hid them, and of course left some outside.

"Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, Pingzi, let's go to uncle's house while we are all here. The gifts I gave you are still in the car. Quickly unload them and hide them." Xiao Yuan said to his uncle.<

/p>

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and open the door first!" Xiao Jinxi said excitedly, turned around and left. He thought he had given it all to the boss, and he didn't know how much he could share. Two nieces and daughters-in-law are not simple. Who knows that the nephew has thought carefully?

.

There is only a homestead between the two families, which is the old home of Xiao Yuan's family. It is dilapidated, with only a thatched house with earthen walls left.

Xiao Yuan drove, and the three cousins ​​hurried over. The brother-in-law's house was similar to the uncle's house, except that there were two missing west rooms, and the courtyard door was wide open. They parked the car directly at the door of the hall.

First take the small one, a pack of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, a pound of toffee, a pound of brown sugar, a bottle of malted milk, a pack of milk powder, half a piece of cloth, two old military uniforms, and two slightly smaller fish.<

/p>

All the food is half less than that at uncle’s house. There is nothing we can do about it. Grandma has a separate portion, and this is true wherever she goes.

After saying hello to my aunt Cheng Sanni, my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law didn't have time to get to know each other, so they hurriedly moved their things. They couldn't even see them anymore, so they just moved them into their own house and hid them.

After all the things were placed, Xiao Yuan let out another round of smoke and said, "Uncle, lock the door. Our whole family will go to the uncle's house to chat. Someone will come to visit us soon." Xiao Yuan told his uncle that he was so young.

In the village, the basic surname is Xiao. As a famous person like him comes back, there must be many people coming.

"You're right, you go there first, I'll make arrangements to go there right away." Xiao Jinxi understood what was going on in the village.

Xiao Yuan drove the tricycle back again. Just as he entered the yard, he saw someone coming from a distance. How could there be any secrets in such a small mountain village?

The four cousins ​​directly moved the tables and benches from the uncle's house. There is also an 18-year-old cousin in the uncle's house, Xiao Donghai, and the middle cousin of the two brothers, Xiao Yumei, is 21 years old and is already married.

There was no room to sit in the main room, so we might as well sit in the courtyard. It wasn't too cold anyway. Xiao Yuan took another pack of sesame candies, a large pack of scented tea, and a large pack of melon seeds from the carriage. Of course, they were smuggled in from space. He hadn't considered it before.

Thorough.

The team leader and the accountant came first, both with the surname Xiao, a cousin and an uncle. They were just a few people, no matter how far apart they were. There were only two families with the surname Li in the whole small village, and they were the two of the son-in-law who stepped in.

A son.

"Third Grandpa, Second Uncle, we haven't seen each other for many years, are you in good health?" Xiao Yuan, as a junior, proactively stepped forward to offer cigarettes.

"Xiao Yuan, you are finally back. The last time I visited my family was the year of liberation. How old have you been as an officer in the army?" the old captain Xiao Wenxu asked with a smile to this grandnephew, the most promising child in the entire Xiao family.

"Third Master, I became a battalion commander in the army. I changed my job a few days ago and went to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. I just reported and arranged the work yesterday and returned to my hometown today." Xiao Yuan could only explain this. The battalion-level staff officers and the others

I don’t understand.

"It's good to be a battalion commander. If you work hard, you might become a general. How can you change your career?" Xiao Wenxu stared, what's going on? He won't make any mistakes, right?

"Third Master, you don't understand. We all paid for it with our lives. Now that there is peace and there are no wars, how can it be so easy to get promoted!" Xiao Yuan smiled. It would be difficult for him to become a general. Wait until 88

Year, he is also 56 years old, who knows what the situation is!

"Yes, a general must rely on military exploits!" Accountant Xiao Jinfu has some culture, otherwise he wouldn't be an accountant.

"Another one, I had an old injury relapsed this spring and had a major operation. At that time I didn't know how my recovery would be, so I simply changed my job. I was shot twice in the body, received several knives, and my toes were frozen.

If you lose two, if you can pick up one life, you will be lucky." Xiao Yuan took advantage of everyone's presence to make it clear: don't envy me for what I have today. I risked my life in exchange for it.

"Ah? It's so serious. You were injured in the Northern Dynasty, right? How is your health now? You kid, you never say anything in your letters, so we don't know!" Xiao Jincai stood up anxiously.

"Now that I have recovered, and medicine has advanced, it is not like before, where I was shot twice in the stomach. In the past, the conditions were limited, but this time I am completely cured. Look!" Xiao Yuan lifted up his clothes, revealing several ugly spots on his abdomen.

Scar.

A large group of people were stunned. It turned out that this child was really lucky. He was shot in the stomach twice and his life would have been lost long ago.

"Bless me from my ancestors! If this were in our mountains, one shot would probably kill him!" Xiao Jinxi had a complicated expression. He was also a hunter and knew that gunshot wounds can be serious, especially in the stomach, which is prone to infection, and even more serious injuries to internal organs.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense. Thank you to our country and to the doctor." Accountant Xiao Jinfu glared at his cousin. At this time, he said that his ancestors had blessed him. It would be troublesome if word spread.

"Okay, okay, let's drink tea, eat melon seeds, and talk about your work." The old captain Xiao Wenxu waved his hand to stop the topic.

"I am now the deputy chief of the purchasing department in the steel rolling mill, and also the deputy head of the reserve force. This time I came back not only to visit my fellow villagers, but also with a mission. I want to hunt and get some meat. If there is a mission, pigs are the best, and piglets are also welcome.

Receive it, complete the procedures, and definitely pay a high price, you can also exchange it with food." Xiao Yuan took the opportunity to reveal his purpose.

"Can it really be exchanged for food? Xiaoyuan, don't lie to Grandpa San!" Xiao Wenxu was so excited that he almost knocked over the tea cup. The big pot rice in the village stopped, and they were eating wild vegetables more than a month ago.

"Third Master, look at my ID and letter of introduction. This is my gun. There is also a semi-automatic in the car. Can I joke about this? The Red Star Factory is a large factory with more than 10,000 people. What else can I need?"
