Chapter 522: Covering Your Mouth
Xiaohu was shocked when he heard that his wife was so nonsense, spreading rumors, cursing, and basically accounting for everything.
He hurriedly put away the injured leg, jumped over with his other foot, covered his mother's mouth, and begged, "Mother! Mother, my mother! My dear mother, you don't dare to talk such nonsense.
Fortunately, it's at home, if you're in the army, you're guilty of spreading rumors and shaking the morale of the military. At the worst, you have to close the small dark room for introspection, and if you lose your head, you have to lose your head.
Moreover, it's terrible to let other people's families hear it, so many towns and villages across the country have to recruit soldiers every year, and the big guys don't all have to hate you, they are all raised by your parents and parents, who do you want to let die?
Besides, those martyrs were all killed by those dogs and tartars of Houjin, what's the matter with our chiefs, my chiefs are good to us! ”
Xiaohu opened Xiaohu's big hand covering her mouth, and scolded, "You little conscienceless, what are you doing covering me, I don't know what to do about it."
Isn't it because at home, no one else tells you, is it possible that you are a little conscienceless person who will denounce your mother? Just say a few words at home, who can hear it. ”
Although he said cruel words, his movements were not slow at all, and he gently helped Xiaohu to the bench and sat down again, then turned around and went to the edge of the table, picked up scissors and cut the fabric.
Xiaohu felt very strange, because he didn't know what his mother had cut at all, so he simply dismantled a piece of cloth and cut it into two. It doesn't look like it's about making clothes or pants, or it's about making quilt covers, pillowcases, or anything like that.
Xiaohu looked at it for a while and asked curiously, "Mother, what are you doing?" I don't even know each other. ”
The little tiger lady kept moving her hands, and explained while working, "Didn't we have a lot of posterior children who died in the town, and I had to go to the funeral of each family, hey!" It's a pity, what a good boy, to say no, it's gone. ”
After listening to his mother's words, Xiaohu nodded his head in agreement, they all live in the same town, although the funeral is held by the army, but those who go to the memorial service should also have the etiquette to give some gifts.
And so many neighbors died, most of them were young and good boys, which is indeed a pity.
But just when Xiaohu was immersed in sadness, he heard his mother continue, "It's a pity that my fabric, we have to send more than ten families in the town alone."
Although the fabric of this Huaxia is much cheaper than that of Daming, it is a pity to look at it, so I thought, simply disassemble a piece of cloth for it, cut it into two parts and send it to two families.
When the time comes to hold a funeral, there are so many people, and the people who give gifts also grab a lot of them, and the mother can't see it even if she touches it. ”
Xiaohu was choked up and completely speechless, "······".
I can only roll my eyes covertly, muttering in my heart, mother, our family can now make money to support the family, but why hasn't your old problem of picking the door changed.
Of course, he didn't dare to say it in front of his mother, he didn't see that his mother was still holding scissors in her hand!
······
Early the next morning, after Xiaohu drank his mother's porridge with two big steamed buns, he put on his ironed military uniform again, hung the medal he had won after the Battle of Fuzhou on his chest, and then went out on crutches and slowly walked to the house of the fellow and comrade-in-arms who had been taking care of him in the army.
That big brother, when he was in the army, took great care of him, not only reminded him of the essentials of various tactical movements from time to time, but also helped him practice together. Even before going to the battlefield, he handed over a lot of life-saving things.
It's a pity that in the end, his little tiger survived, and the eldest brother who took care of him was shot in the eye by a feather arrow, which is really tricky.
Out of the alley, I happened to see some teenage children on the road, who were going out with their lunch, probably preparing to go to school.
"Brother Little Tiger is early!"
"Brother Little Tiger is good!"
When the children saw Xiaohu, they all ran over and greeted him loudly, surrounded him to see the medal hanging on his chest, and from time to time let out bursts of exaggerated admiration.
The child stared at him with a look of adoration, and the little tiger naturally did not drive away, so he could only stop and slowly wait until they had seen enough before continuing on the road.
Along the way, Xiaohu would meet a few acquaintances from time to time, and everyone would talk to each other, politely say a few words, and talk about trivial matters in the family and the army.
Xiaohu was a little anxious in his heart, originally, if he was asked to help with work or something, he would definitely have nothing to say, he was just impatient with this kind of talk. With his stunned temper, everyone is not too close, where is the patience to say such gossip.
However, there is no way, these are the villagers and elders, he joined the army and left, the little sister and younger brother also went out to find errands, and there was only one old lady left in the family, and he had to think about his own mother.
In case he doesn't talk to others angrily and hurts these villagers, if the old lady has something to do, when she wants to find someone to help, and no one comes to help, then it will be troublesome.
Therefore, no matter how anxious and impatient he is, he can only be patient along the way, carefully taking care of everyone's face one by one. Whenever someone greets him, be sure to respond with a sentence or two.
As soon as I walked to the door of the big brother's house, I happened to see the youngest son of the big brother's family, carrying a big basket on his back, driving a few sheep out of the sheepfold.
"Caiwa, your father's days haven't passed yet, why don't you keep watch at home and run outside?"
Cai Wa is only 9 years old, people are still a little ignorant, he raised his head to look at Xiaohu, grinned, and then said, "My mother asked me to follow me to collect food, but I can't let others quietly load my family's food." ”
Xiaohu's brows wrinkled unconsciously, "Just you?" How can you go to harvest grain from a small child's family? ”
Caiwa shook her head, looked at Xiaohu's eyes, blinked twice, and said to Xiaohu, "No, the state gave my father a share of the land, and the town paid for it to help collect it."
The share given to my mother, the family spent money to invite the new immigrants who had not yet divided the land to help cut the land.
I don't need to do anything, I just have to watch, my mother is afraid that if no one looks, the hired people will steal my family's food. ”
