Lu Jiang got out of bed angrily, got dressed, opened the door, and went to make breakfast. The little fat man refused to leave his fucking embrace, and when he found Lu Jiang's black face as far as his eyes touched, he howled and cried, crying so much that he was crying out for the sky and grabbing the ground, tears flowed like a river, and his snot was bubbling with a big bubble.

The children, who have always gone to bed early and got up early, were all alarmed, and at the same time accused: "Uncle (brother-in-law), how can you make Xibao cry? "That's right!

The little fat man hiccuped.

"Yes, yes, he is my ancestor! My little ancestor! Lu Jiang said angrily, and he didn't command his two eldest nephews to go to the kitchen to help him wash rice and vegetables and cook the pot, dry sweet potatoes and brown rice to cook porridge, and the grate was distilled with cornmeal and white flour and two noodles rolls, and then fried some old pickle gnocchi with red pepper.

"Uncle, don't forget to steam eggs for Xibao! Xibao eats egg custard every morning. Lu Tianjun reminded.

Guan Cheng quickly handed Lu Jiang the white background color picture porcelain bowl dedicated to Xibao, and at the same time took out an egg and taught him how to beat the egg into the bowl, how much water to mix, not a little salt and condiments, and then put the lid on the grate.

"Such a small bowl, just beat an egg, can Xibao be full? He grew so fat that his appetite was so good. Lu Tianjun stuffed a few corn cob cores into the stove and looked up at him,

"Uncle, don't think that Xibao is a big stomach like you, he is so small, of course he eats less!"

"Yes, yes, you're right!" Lu Jiang admits defeat,

"I'll go fetch water, you look at the rice in the pot, don't spill it."

"Go ahead!" Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng waved at the same time. Lu Jiang filled two jars of water, boiled a pot of hot water to wash Xibao's clothes, diapers and his own clothes, washed them and dried them on the hemp rope in the house, and stepped on the snow to carry water, preparing to fill the big water tank again.

On the way back, I met Wang Zhengguo, who got up early and walked around, and squinted at him for a while before recognizing him.

"I said who this person is coming out of Qingxue's house, it turned out to be you. Lu Jiang, why have you lost weight like this? Let's not talk about the black, it's still thin, as thin as a hemp stick. When your family Qingxue sees you, can't you feel distressed? ”

"Uncle!" Lu Jiang put down his flat shoulder with a smile, took it out of his pocket, took out a pack of big front doors, and handed a cigarette to Wang Zhengguo.

At the same time, he took out a box of matches and lit a fire for Wang Zhengguo. Wang Zhengguo took two puffs of cigarette,

"When did you come back? Just got off the battlefield, right? Otherwise, your troops will be in charge of food and shelter, and no matter how much you train, you will not lose weight like this, and your face will be full of injuries. Lu Jiang did not deny it,

"I only got home yesterday. When I was not at home, my father and Qingxue took care of me thanks to my uncle. ”

"Whew! You were born and died on the front line, if I can't even protect the lives of your family, I, the branch secretary and captain, will wait to abdicate and make way for Xian! Wang Zhengguo was unwilling to take credit, and quickly changed the topic,

"I went to the commune a few days ago, and I heard that recruitment will start again in the spring of next year, do you know about it?" Lu Jiang smiled,

"I just came back from the border and went straight to my home, I really haven't heard about those recruitments, but every year it starts on March 1st. Uncle inquired about these to fight for a few conscription places for our production brigade? "The living conditions of the Wanglou Brigade are good, and the possibility of passing the physical examination is very great.

Wang Zhengguo shook his head,

"Let it be, if there are a few places allocated above, I will accept a few places. Besides, some young men are willing to be soldiers, but some are not. ”
