Chapter 594: The Days When Zhang Qingshan Was Not There (Part 2)
"Old Wang, you..."
Before Zhou Baoyu could finish his words, Xiang Xueqin pulled him. Then, when he saw Xiang Xueqin, he walked over and smiled, "Old Wang, you bring such a good thing every time you come here, why are you so embarrassed to call me?"
If not, the retribution in this life!
Lao Wang just dismantled Zhou Baoyu's platform, and now it's Zhou Baoyu's turn to fight back.
Just now, he was about to brag about a few words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Zhou Baoyu smile and said, "Sister-in-law, don't remember this favor on him. What he sent in the past was all given by us by our sprint, and it was not something he had. And this lamb leg was not given by us by our sprint, nor was it given by Lao Wang..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Baoyu deliberately paused. After everyone's eyes were seen, he revealed the answer: "This was given by our leader."
Immediately, without waiting for others to say anything, Zhou Baoyu quickly added: "The leader said that he was too busy these days and really couldn't get out to see you, so he had to ask us to deliver it together."
But although Tian Jingshan used to be careful and was nicknamed Tian Baopi by Zhang Qingshan, it can be seen how stingy she is. However, since Zhang Qingshan was sent to Yan'an to study, Tian Jingshan gave Xiang Xueqin food every once in a while, just saying "Xiao Zhang's children cannot be wronged at all." Xiang Xueqin was moved, and she was also very proud to have a husband like Zhang Qingshan. Although she was also rude to this favor, she kept it firmly in her heart.
And Zhou Baoyu is not finished yet.
While taking out a handful of wild onions from the cloth bag, he handed them to Sister Chen beside him and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, the regiment commander knows that you can't stand the smell of mutton, so when he led the army to train, he personally ran to the mountain to pick a handful of wild onions for you, saying that this thing is the most effective way to remove the smell of mutton."
Sister Chen never expected that there was something happening here, and she blushed suddenly, while the sisters around her laughed, making her leave even more, and not staying... A gift can get two favors. It can be seen that Tian Jingshan is so frugal.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Chen, look, we'll eat dumplings tonight, or do we put on hot pot?" Zhou Baoyu was really clever. After seeing the effect, he quickly added... The conscience of heaven and earth was so he had to do this. When he came, Tian Jingshan repeatedly told him and threatened him directly, just to take a closer look at Sister Chen's attitude towards the lamb leg so that he could continue to strengthen the relationship between the two in the future. Therefore, Zhou Baoyu had to do this, otherwise he would not be able to submit a job when he went back.
Sister Chen suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Zhou Baoyu asked this together with Xiang Xueqin. If she asked this alone, Sister Chen would be angry, but now she has a partner to refuse: "This is Xiao Xiang's home. I am visiting Xiao Xiang, and I am a guest, so naturally I will follow the host's wishes."
Everyone knows who Zhou Baoyu is asking, and also understands who is asking behind this question, including Xiang Xueqin.
Seeing Sister Chen say this, Xiang Xueqin couldn't watch the fun anymore, so she quickly said, "We sisters haven't been together for a long time, and we haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. Just so I'll just have a pot of stew today: eat mutton dumplings and make fish hotpot."
Just then, the door was opened. Liu Bing came in with a bag of food and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I also want to eat mutton dumplings and fish hotpot."
"Brother Liu, why did you make money again? I..."
"This is not my own, but the comrades in our entire camp paid for it." Liu Bing put the bag of rice in the corner, stood up and smiled: "Today I was rested, I was wandering around the street with my comrades. When I saw someone selling rice, my comrades said that sister-in-law, you are from the south and you must not be used to the steamed buns here. Now you are pregnant and can't suffer. So, everyone bought it together and sent me as a representative to you."
Liu Bing is now the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 47th Regiment. The former First Company of the Long March, some of his comrades are now his soldiers.
Xiang Xueqin knew that this was not to give him face, but to Zhang Qingshan. After all, when Zhang Qingshan was in the water and grassland, he saved many people, including Liu Bing and some veterans below him. They also had a conscience. Zhang Qingshan had no need, so they could not express gratitude to Zhang Qingshan, but now they had the opportunity: Zhang Qingshan was sent to Yan'an to study, and Xiang Xueqin was pregnant, so they also raised money from time to time to get some nutritional supplements and other things to send. This is also a favor, and Xiang Xueqin was not easy to refuse, so they had to remember it in their hearts and return this favor after Zhang Qingshan came back... By the way, since Zhang Qingshan left, there were often people visiting Xiang Xueqin here, and sometimes, many people quietly put down their things outside the door and left. Not to mention the name, they didn't even bother. Xiang Xueqin couldn't find anyone even if she wanted to return it.
To put it more accurately, since Zhang Qingshan left, Xiang Xueqin lived a better life than ever before, except for missing Zhang Qingshan. At least, what she ate was much better than the elders. Many elders shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and ate sweet potatoes and steamed buns.
Xiang Xueqin is just talking nothing. If she wants to eat, I am afraid that Tietidi will get her as soon as possible if she has received favor from Zhang Qingshan. This is not only Zhang Qingshan's face, but also her baby with Zhang Qingshan in her belly.
Although she knew very well why Liu Bing and the soldiers did this, she could see that Liu Bing was so direct and she couldn't refuse.
"Old Liu, thank you. After I go back, I will thank those comrades for me. I...I..." As she said that, Xiang Xueqin's eyes were red in her touch, but she really didn't know what to say next.
Fortunately, Liu Bing thought of something, turned around and walked to the door, shouting to the outside, "What's going on? Why are you standing there one by one? I personally chose you guys who know how to do plastering work, just to let you paint the walls for my sister-in-law's house, not to let you smoke cigarettes and not work?"
"Battery Commander, we also want to eat mutton dumplings and fish hotpot."
There was a moment of silence outside, then a voice sounded, and then burst into laughter.
Liu Bing was about to roar because of shame, but was pulled by Xiang Xueqin. When he went out, he saw five soldiers in the yard, some holding big brushes, some carrying buckets, and some holding lime powder and soil at his feet. Obviously, they were going to paint lime powder on the exterior wall of the cave where they lived.
She suddenly remembered that when Liu Bing came and left, she accidentally saw that the outside of her cave was a little dark and looked very worn, so she muttered, "It's time to sort out the outside." She didn't think much about it at the time, so she nodded habitually. Unexpectedly, Liu Bing remembered it in her heart, and took the time to arrange this matter, which made Xiang Xueqin feel very proud: she found a good husband, even if he was not around, there were still many people coming to help her.
Xiang Xueqin was moved and quickly smiled and promised: "Yes! All are. When it's done, let you be the first to eat."
Unexpectedly, these people were all veterans, and a guy immediately shouted: "Sister-in-law, then I'll have agreed first that I'll eat five bowls of dumplings."
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted help from others.
"Sister-in-law, I want to eat six bowls of dumplings."
"Sister-in-law, I want to eat ten bowls!"
"Sister-in-law, I want to eat a whole fish."
They were calling happily, but Liu Bing was full of black lines. Seeing these bastards talking more and more distorted, what could that be?
He immediately glared at everyone and shouted viciously: "What are six or ten bowls? A whole fish? Even if you are not afraid of slapping yourself to death, I am still afraid that you will be poor in your sister-in-law's family... Let me tell you that each person only has one bowl of dumplings. As for the fish, hum! If you don't have your share, whoever dares to eat more, go back and see how I deal with him."
Everyone knows that Liu Bing is joking because of face issues. Xiang Xueqin smiled and took out the 50 cents from her pocket, turned around and handed them to Zhou Baoyu who had just arrived: "Baoyu, go and buy two jars of good wine."
"Sister-in-law, two jars of good wine won't cost so much."
"When you were born, you should buy some other food."
"Oh~!"
I agreed, but Zhou Baoyu looked at the people while walking outside, thinking indignantly: It’s not easy for sister-in-law. Are you here to help, or do you want to be poor in my sister-in-law’s house?
When the soldiers heard that they could have a big meal, they all cheered happily, and they still cared about Zhou Baoyu's eyes.
"Why are you giggling there? Why don't you work quickly? Really, I'm bringing you here to help, not to let you eat and drink. If you finish brushing here today, it's a beautiful brush, and after the dumplings are put into the pot, you will all get back to me."
"Don't! Battalion Commander, we promise to make the place beautiful and will never be ashamed of you."
"Battery Commander, don't worry, everyone used to do this job to ensure you are satisfied."
"Yes! I finally can let go of my stomach and have a big meal. If I do my job well, how can I have the face to serve?"
As they said that, everyone started to work with laughter.
But Liu Bing was so angry that he could only smile bitterly at Xiang Xueqin helplessly... If this kind of thing was put in the past, with Liu Bing's arrogant personality, he would never get along with the soldiers, because in his arrogant heart, the soldiers were soldiers and the commander was the commander. It was okay to share the joys and sorrows, but if they got together like this, they would lose the attitude of the commander. However, after having been in contact with Zhang Qingshan for a long time, he saw his own shortcomings in Zhang Qingshan, so naturally he learned Zhang Qingshan's ability to talk to anyone.
At this time, Zhang Qingshan waved his hoe and worked with all the soldiers to open up land and farm: they were really learning, not going to jail like they were receiving political and ideological education as others imagined.
There is no difference between going to school and acting very freely. The only difference is that they not only have to support the people nearby to cultivate land, but also have to support the people in the neighborhood to cultivate...
Even the subjects you study can choose from except Chinese class. Zhang Qingshan chose the command subject because he knew very well that once he went back, he would definitely lead his troops to the front line to fight against the enemy.
However, what Zhang Qingshan didn't know was that the enemy he had to face after he returned was no longer the reactionaries, but the Japanese devils... After the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhang Qingshan, a powerful general with rich experience in leading troops, would naturally not be hidden, and he would usher in the peak of his life.
However, before that, Xiang Xueqin ushered in a huge blow...
