As soon as Xiaohu heard that this misunderstanding had actually affected his sister-in-law's life, he hurriedly tried to explain, but he was born stupid, and when he said it, he deviated the topic to the ditch.

"Mother, no, no, as long as you are willing to work in the kingdom these years, you won't be hungry, who will be a strong man from a good family to be a son-in-law, if the person is not good, the little sister may be unwilling."

Xiaohu Niang couldn't help but wave her hand to interrupt Xiaohu's words and said, "The girl's family, where is it up to her to be willing or not, in our family, your father is not early, and you are stupid and have no ideas, so the marriage of our boy and daughter has to be decided by the mother herself." ”

Xiaohu heard his mother say that the marriage had to be decided by his mother herself, although she felt that this little sister might not be very good, but he was born stupid, so he couldn't say anything to refute it, so he could only shut up and listen to his mother.

Suddenly, he glanced around again, and found that he and his mother had been talking for so long, why didn't his little sister come out, wouldn't it be to go out to play.

Xiaohu thought of the lot of things he bought for his little sister, and imagined how happy his little sister was when she saw those fun and beautiful things, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Xiaohu hoped to see Xiaomei's smile immediately, so he took a moment to stop talking, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, where is Xiaomei now?" Why haven't you seen it? ”

Xiaohu Niang was talking energetically, and when she heard Xiaohu's question, she was stunned, and then she became angry all of a sudden.

"Who knows, since you joined the army, this dead girl also went to Yizhou Port, saying that she recruited a female shopkeeper or something, and she didn't ask someone to bring a message back when she left, and she didn't bring some money back after she made money. It's really infuriating. ”

Although she said angry words, the corners of Xiaohu Niang's eyes left tears again, she was still worried about her daughter.

She wiped the tears from her face, and suddenly, she changed to a smiling face.

This unique job of changing his face made Xiaohu want to roll his eyes, but the change was too fast, a little too big.

Moreover, Xiaohu knew that his mother must talk about his younger brother next. Xiaohu dared to bet a dollar, it was definitely his younger brother who had some "big interest".

Sure enough, just when Xiaohu made a bet with himself in his heart, Xiaohu Niang said, "Xiaohu, don't you know, your brother is really good now." ”

Xiaohu lowered his head and rolled his eyes covertly, wanting to refute and show off that he was also good in the army. However, immediately, the idea of filial piety to his mother occupied the commanding heights again, and he really couldn't bear to do it against his mother on his mother's head, so he raised his head again and made a gesture of listening carefully.

"A few days ago, your brother got a chicken in the east of the place called Maoshan, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, your brother went home and gave his mother a full 2,000 yuan.

That's a full 20 taels of silver, listen to your brother, it's because he made that chicken, and the factory awarded him a prize.

Also, a few days ago, your brother sent a letter back, saying that he got another chicken in a place called Busan in the south, and got another 2,000 yuan, and your brother is going home next month, and his monthly salary is 450 yuan a month.

When your brother came to the letter, my mother asked someone to help read it, and then, all the people in the town knew about your brother's letter.

Even the chief guard's family came to propose, and the girl over there is the niece of the chief guard's family, anyway, the mother saw it, and the girl was really good.

But ah, Aunt Li next door persuaded her mother to wait a while longer, he said that your little brother is so capable, and now he sees a few big officials in the place or factory, maybe one day there will be an adult who takes a fancy to him and marries the official lady to your brother.

Now that we are in this family, we are pointing to the younger brother to glorify our ancestors. ”

Xiaohu's mother couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she was happy, Xiaohu touched the money bag tied around his waist, which only contained the meagre 500 yuan he had withdrawn from the bank.

couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and took back the hand that was about to take out the money bag to his mother.

He has just been promoted from a senior soldier to a non-commissioned officer because of his outstanding performance in heroically saving his comrades and fighting the enemy on the battlefield of the Fuzhou Campaign, with a salary of 300 yuan per month. Even if you add a series of military benefits, you can only get 400 yuan. As for more, it can only be obtained after normal retirement or injury.

When I was a soldier in the past, I only got less than half of this number. These are really far worse than his brother's current situation.

Xiaohu withdrew his hand, looked around, and turned his head to see some fabrics on the dining table, as well as some scissors, needles and threads and other things.

Xiaohu's mother saw Xiaohu looking at what she was busy with, and finally stopped laughing happily because of talking about her little son's life, and said to Xiaohu, "Hey, Xiaohu, you tell me, this war is real, all of them are good babies, the pillars of the family, how can you say that it is gone."

There are really a lot of deaths in our town, and everyone is saluting, and our little brother is so good now, he will soon be a big man with a head and a face, and we can't leave our family behind. ”

Xiaohu remembered his comrades who died in battle, and couldn't help but nod and said, "I'm still lucky, standing in the second row, but most of the other people in our town are standing at the front, so the soldiers in our town are the ones who sacrificed the most, and in the Battle of Fuzhou, a total of more than a dozen were sacrificed." ”

When Xiaohu and his mother heard this, they also scolded and scolded, "Isn't it, more than a dozen died at once, this is not counting the previous battles, you can talk about it, why don't the soldiers in other towns die more, why are all our towns dead." ”

Speaking of this, Xiaohu and his mother seemed to have thought of something, and said with the appearance of a gossipy woman, "Is it that your chief is eccentric and pushes the baby in our town to death?" ”

Xiaohu was taken aback, how did he say this, chatting and chatting, how did he become the chief eccentric? Why did you come out and deliberately get the babies to die on the battlefield?

Mother, your level of rumor-mongering, why is it so scary, this nonsense will come as soon as you open your mouth.

Xiaohu's frightened liver trembled a little, if this was said in the army, it would be a rumor and shake the morale of the army.
