Chapter 595 Children, children! (Part 1)

"boom!"

"Click!"

The dark clouds were covered with dark clouds, and a lightning flashed like a dragon, its huge and long figure flashed in the mortal world, and instantly sank into the black clouds.

Xiang Xueqin, who was about to go out with a basket, looked up at the sky, turned around and entered the house. When she came out, she had an umbrella in her hand.

Before I could walk a few steps towards Xueqin, the light rain started to scatter and in an instant it turned into heavy rain.

Xiang Xueqin didn't care whether the rain wet her trousers and cotton shoes. What she cared about was not to let the rain wet her top, because there was a letter to Zhang Qingshan in her pocket, which conveyed her longing and worries, and told Zhang Qingshan how many favors she owed him... Because I was here shortly after, and in the midst of war and chaos, I could not send a letter from here to Yan'an for the time being, and it was all thanks to some people who came and went to Yan'an. By the way, from Zhang Qingshan to now, Xiang Xueqin had received two letters from Zhang Qingshan. It was not that she didn't want to write it, but that even if she wrote it, she had to wait for someone to contact her before she could ask them to bring the letter.

The heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was like it turned into a heavy rain. But Xiang Xueqin didn't care about this because she found out that today, a team of soldiers were going to Yan'an. She had to hand them the letter before they left, and asked them to come to Yan'an and hand it over to Zhang Qingshan. Otherwise, God would know when the next time the letter was sent.

The visibility was very low under the heavy rain, but Xiang Xueqin was very familiar with the roads nearby, so she didn't care about these things anymore.

In front is Widow Zhang's house.

Widow Zhang's man could not stand the exploitation of the landlords, so he resolutely participated in the revolution. Later, he sacrificed his life, leaving Widow Zhang and three children behind, and lived a difficult life.

Fortunately, Widow Zhang was a family member of a martyr. At first, the team led by Liu Zhidan secretly helped her family. Later, when the Central Red Army arrived, she took special care according to the conditions of the martyrs and based on the actual situation of her family. Not only could she receive some martyrs' money (most of the time, they directly distributed grain), but during the busy farming period, the organization also sent people to her family to cultivate land, and she also raised livestock. In this way, her family's life is much better now, at least, so there is no need to starve anymore.

I heard that Widow Zhang had already applied to the organization. She felt that the cave was too old and she wanted to renovate and strengthen it recently. The organization also agreed and promised to send someone to renovate and strengthen the cave for her home.

I followed the muddy path to her house. The faint light came out from the window, and I could faintly hear the sound of the child reading. This made Xiang Xueqin very satisfied and envious.

What I am satisfied with is: the simplest purpose of the revolution is to allow the working people in the world to have a full meal and allow poor children to study? So when she saw this scene, she was very happy. What she envied was that she yearned for such a warm life, working during the day and accompanying her children to read and read at night. She was so happy and happy.

Thinking of this, she touched her slightly bulging belly and said softly: "Child, you must do a good job. When you come out, your mother will let you read and read."

After a moment of pause, Xiang Xueqin didn't want to disturb the warm atmosphere of Widow Zhang's house. She smiled and wanted to leave.

But just as she turned around, she always felt that something seemed wrong with Widow Zhang's house, but she couldn't tell the details.

She couldn't help but stop, turned around, held an umbrella, and looked at Widow Zhang's house carefully.

At first, she was just suspicious, but as she looked, something suddenly became wrong: the caves were all opened in the solid soil, and the soil on the caves was suppressed, trying to prevent them from loosening and falling on rainy days. However, not only were the caves of Widow Zhang's house washed away by rain, but some places had already cracked... Looking closely, I wonder if it was an illusion, Xiang Xueqin felt that these cracked places seemed to be getting bigger.

But no matter whether it is an illusion or not, Xiang Xueqin knows that as long as there are cracks on the cave, it is a sign of soft soil. If there are too many cracks, it is a sign of the collapse of the cave. Even if the inside is strong, once the outside collapses, even if the cave does not collapse, the collapsed soil will bury the cave.

Especially in this heavy rain, once it collapses, the rainwater will be poured into the cave, and there are so many people inside that they will not be able to survive.

Xiang Xueqin changed her face in an instant. Without having time to think about it, she rushed to the door of Widow Zhang's house and knocked on the door and shouted: "Sister Zhang, take the child out quickly, the cave is about to collapse..."

In fact, the sound of heavy rain almost completely covered Xiang Xueqin's voice. Fortunately, the knock on the door was a life-saving sound for the people in the cave.

The door is open.

Widow Zhang, who is about thirty years old, looks like a forty-year-old woman because of her worries and fatigue in recent years.

When she saw Xiang Xueqin, she hurriedly gave up and held Xiang Xueqin's hand, saying enthusiastically: "It's Comrade Xueqin, come in quickly, come in quickly. You are pregnant, so you can't get wet in the rain..."

Xiang Xueqin didn't care about these things, and even forgot to enter the house, and shouted directly: "Take the child out quickly, this cave may collapse."

After saying that, she remembered that she should do something immediately. She rushed into the house and rushed out with a child sleeping on the bed.

Widow Zhang didn't believe it at first: her cave was a bit dilapidated, but after all, it was impossible for her luck to be so sad. But at this moment, the cave was about to collapse?

However, when she saw Xiang Xueqin so anxious, she held her youngest son and ran out without even asking. This made her pay attention immediately, because she knew that Xiang Xueqin was also a Red Army soldier, and the Red Army would never be able to joke about such a thing, otherwise, if she just wanted to find a Red Army chief to complain afterwards, Xiang Xueqin would never be able to take the opportunity to leave.

"Boss, second, run away." Before she could think too much, she shouted to the first and second, and she ran outwards with her eldest and second, and was poured on her body by the heavy rain from the pot outside. The coolness rushed to her head, calming her a little bit. Then she realized that she was in a panic and forgot to bring an umbrella: You can't let your child get wet in the rain.

He turned around and grabbed two umbrellas from behind the door and gave the eldest brother a hand, like a hen protecting a chicken. While protecting the two children under him and walking out quickly, he reminded him and took good care of the second brother.

Standing more than ten meters outside the house, Widow Zhang felt safe, and she breathed a little relieved.

But before she could speak, Xiang Xueqin bent over, protected her youngest son under her, ran to her, and put down the child... At this time, Xiang Xueqin's head and back were covered with rain, but Widow Zhang's youngest son, except for the accident that the calf was wet, was not wet most of the body.

Widow Zhang was very moved. She pulled the child to the eldest and second brother with her left hand, and asked the three children to squeeze together to play an umbrella. The umbrella in her right hand was directly supported on Xiang Xueqin's head.

"Comrade Xueqin, you are pregnant and you are soaked all over your body~!"

Xiang Xueqin wiped the rain from her face and smiled at Widow Zhang, "I'm not afraid, I'm a nurse. Even if I catch a cold or something, I know how to treat it..."

After saying this, she shouted to Widow Zhang's boss: "Boss, you should send your two younger brothers to my house immediately, and then, you will find someone to save your house, do you know?"

"Know."

Xiang Xueqin immediately rushed to Widow Zhang's house again: "Sister Zhang, you are waiting here, I'll move out your house's things. If you are buried, it would be a pity."

"Xueqin, no need, I...ah~!" Widow Zhang didn't hold Xiang Xueqin back and shouted quickly. It was obvious that Xiang Xueqin had rushed to the door of her house, and obviously wouldn't stop. She stomped her feet in a hurry and shouted to the boss, "You might as well go!", and then threw the umbrella, and rushed to the house without caring about whether it was wet or not.

The boss of Widow Zhang's house shouted twice. Seeing that Widow Zhang rushed into the house without looking back, he quickly took his two younger brothers and staggered towards Xueqin's house. While running, he cried, "Help! Save my mother..."

Widow Zhang rushed into the house and saw Xiang Xueqin carrying a bag of thirty or forty kilograms of grain on her shoulders. She quickly shouted: "Xueqin, don't care about the grain first. After this thing is wet with rain, it will sprout and moldy after it won't last a few days. Let's put the clothes first..."

These days, food is an important thing - clothes and pants are gone, so you can ask others to borrow them for the time being. But if the food is gone, everyone is poor. Even if others borrow, they can't borrow much, and they still have to go hungry. Therefore, the first person that Xiang Xueqin thought of was food... If it were not forbidden, who would be willing to give up on food? Money is not that important: even if the cave collapses, it will only be buried, not washed away, and can be dug out at that time. Moreover, the ocean is not afraid of rain, and although paper bills will be wet, they can also be used as long as they are dry. Therefore, rescue of food is the first priority.

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Xueqin shouted: "Sister Zhang, carry the food out first. Don't be afraid of being wet by the rain. There are so many people in our Red Army. Your two or three hundred kilograms of grain are not enough for us to have breakfast. Now carry it out. When tomorrow's breakfast, I will find the Red Army to exchange dry food for you, but they can put your wet food into the pot at one time, which will not be delayed."

Upon hearing this, Widow Zhang felt relieved, grabbed a bag of food, carried it on her shoulder, and rushed outwards Xiang Xueqin.

When he arrived at the front gate of the yard and put the grain bag, Widow Zhang grabbed Xiang Xueqin, who was about to continue transporting grain, and shouted: "Xueqin, you are pregnant, and you dare not let you move such heavy things. If you have any good intentions, how can you give me the face to meet people?"

Xiang Xueqin waved her hand, got rid of Widow Zhang's pulling, and rushed into the cave and shouted: "Then I'll move some light ones, you can move the food."

Having said that, when Widow Zhang rushed into the room with her, she saw Xiang Xueqin carrying another bag of food without stopping, rushing out quickly, and shouting: "Don't say anything, so as not to waste time."

Widow Zhang was moved and worried, but she also understood that time was urgent and every second was to fight. She had to carry a bag of food and follow Xiang Xueqin tightly, just to be afraid that Xiang Xueqin would fall...
