It was getting dark, and Li Guoping and Er Ni also came back. Chu Xiong accidentally noticed that their faces were much rosier, and couldn't help but mutter:

"Love still nourishes people. After this New Year, spring is coming soon..."

"Captain Chu, what are you talking about?"

The old seventh uncle heard the next few words and asked Chu Xiong curiously, "It's hard for Chu Xiong to say that he, a battalion commander, is envious of others and that young people are flirting with each other. He still wants to save face!"

"Old Uncle Qi, what I'm saying is that spring is here, everything is coming back to life, and it's time to hoe the ground and plant crops!"

As soon as Chu Xiong finished speaking, he always felt that something was wrong with his words. There was something familiar about them, like the commentary of a future program. He couldn't help but blush when he thought of this.

Spring is coming soon!

"Comrade Chu, there is still some time before spring. The snow has been heavy this winter and the insects in the ground have been frozen to death. This year's crops will definitely have a good harvest."

"Yes, Uncle Qi, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!

So it's time to plow the land in spring. I'll give Li Guoping half a month's leave and ask him to plow all your land. Only by plowing hard can you get a good harvest!"

When Er Ni heard this, her eyes shone with extraordinary brilliance, like two sparkling black gems. Li Guoping even narrowed his eyes with joy. But the old seventh uncle was an honest man and did not notice the young man's weakness.

Think carefully, but say sincerely and politely:

"Comrade Chu, why bother Comrade Li to dig up the land for our house? You can't do it, you can't do it!"

Aunt Seventh happened to come out with a large bowl of noodles and fish and overheard their conversation. Uncle Seventh's words made her itch with hatred, and she secretly said:

"What a pimple!"

Then he said to Old Seventh Uncle:

"Master, the fish noodles are ready. Go and prepare some old vinegar for Comrade Chu. He likes to eat fish noodles dipped in vinegar with green onions!"

Aunt Seven's first reaction was to try to drive Uncle Li away with words. She was so short-sighted!

"Guoping will be the backbone of the old Li family from now on. Sooner or later, the matter between him and Erni will have to be settled. What's wrong with my son-in-law helping to dig the land for a few days? Erni's mouth is so happy that the back of her head is split!

It’s so rare for Guoping to have a holiday, what a piece of wood! Why did I fall in love with such a piece of wood back then?”

Aunt Seven gave the blind old man a few harsh words in her heart, then handed the noodle fish to Chu Xiong and said:

"Comrade Chu, can you try to see if this is what it tastes like? Or are you thinking carefully? Your seventh uncle really can't turn over several acres of land at home. It's all the fault of this kid Guoping!"

Aunt Seven is now the mother-in-law looking after her son-in-law, and the more she watches, the more interesting she becomes. Li Guoping used to be a slut, but she didn't object to Erni secretly sending him sweet potatoes, and now she won't object even more.

Li Guoping has been in the "Tiger Special Forces" for more than half a year. With long-term training and good food, he has long grown into a mighty man that his mother-in-law likes. Coupled with the addition of a majestic Eighth Route Army uniform, this son-in-law

It's a hundred satisfactions.

The most important thing is that Li Guoping is still an orphan. The only child in Lao Li's family is Erni. They are going to get married and the child they give birth to will also be named Li. The problem of incense in Lao Li's family will be solved...

Chu Xiong really didn't expect that Aunt Seven would have so many ideas. Otherwise, he was still young and would just eat fish noodles honestly.

That night Chu Xiong and the two stayed at Uncle Qi's house until after nine o'clock in the evening before going back. That night they lived with several comrades from the armed workers' team;

The house where the martial arts team lives belongs to Li Yaozu's family. There used to be 30 people living there, but now there are only 6 people left. This time the martial arts team is seriously injured.

Fortunately, Chuxiong has promised to rebuild the martial arts team. After the three garrison companies are in place, the martial arts team will be strong again!

Chu Xiong visited Li Yaozu again the next day and learned from Chen Erxi that the old man was becoming more and more interesting now, so people's consciousness would change.

"The presence of Chief Chu Ying really makes the humble abode shine! It would be a sin not to welcome him from afar!"

After hearing this, Chu Xiong couldn't help but smile. It was still a familiar recipe, and it still had a familiar taste. It reminded him of the scene when he first arrived in Lijia Village a year ago, except that Company Commander Chu was changed to Battalion Commander Chu.

Chu Xiong is no longer the Chu Xiong he was a year ago, and Li Yaozu is no longer the Li Xiangshen who was extremely anti-communist and had no consciousness a year ago;

Now the second and third sons of his family have boarded the Eighth Route Army's ship, and the eldest son is also fighting against the Japanese in the Jinsui Army. It is no longer possible for him to stay out of the matter, and he can only fight against the Japanese.

"Clan Leader Li, you're so polite. It's been a long time since I last saw you. You look so impressive!"

Chu Xiong also hung up his book bag with the old man for a few words. These squires liked this tone.

"Camp Commander Chu, this time you led the Eighth Route Army to repel the Japanese invasion and kept the peace of Sangzi. I would like to express my gratitude to the Eighth Route Army on behalf of the old Li family. There are many wastes waiting to be done. I have prepared 5,000 yuan here.

Mianli, please accept it!"

Li Yaozu thought that Chu Xiong was coming to attack him again. He also roughly guessed that the Eighth Route Army personnel and equipment had suffered relatively large losses, so it was time to use money;

Instead of waiting for Chu Xiong to speak, he might as well take the initiative to offer 5,000 yuan, which not only reflects his awareness, but also may result in a lot less. Chu Xiong can never be too short.

Chu Xiong really didn't mean this. He didn't expect that the old man's consciousness would improve so quickly. If he refused, it would seem a bit cold to the old man's heart, so he said:

"Mr. Li is so righteous. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion, I would like to thank you for your great contribution to the Anti-Japanese War. How about I write you a receipt?"

Chu Xiong originally just said it casually. He estimated that a country gentleman like Li Yaozu would not dare to accept the receipt for fear of being too deeply involved with the Eighth Route Army. After all, it would be difficult for him to explain to the government if they were investigated.

Unexpectedly, Li Yaozu did not refuse at all, but directly asked Li San to order people to carry out the five thousand oceans, and prepared pen and ink by the way, without any intention of avoiding suspicion.

Chu Xiong could only write down a receipt with one stroke of his pen:

Today I received 5,000 silver dollars from Li Yaozu, a patriotic friend of Lijiacun, to support the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance.

Chu Xiong, commander of the 386th Brigade Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army

Chu Xiong suddenly remembered the movement in later generations, so he changed the squire to a friend. This receipt might be able to help him at a critical moment.

Although Old Man Li is stubborn and pedantic, he did make a contribution to the fight against Japanese invaders in the base area and supported the Independence Battalion with more than 10,000 silver dollars. This is real money, Chu Xiong admits!

Li Yaozu took a look at the receipt, calmly folded it and stuffed it into his underwear pocket.

The patriotic friend on the note made him very satisfied. The five thousand oceans were not wasted.

After Chu Xiong got an unexpected fortune, he finally got down to business:

"Mr. Li, I have one more thing to tell you when I come here this time. I met your third boy some time ago. He is now in our Eighth Route Army and has become a platoon leader. He is a very good person. I am here to replace him.

He will give you peace!"

When Li Yaozu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted loudly:

"Old lady, did you hear that? There's finally news about that bastard of yours. He's doing well. He's now a platoon leader!

You bastard, you haven't been home for a year, and you haven't even had a letter from home, just a verbal message, you're a white-eyed wolf!"

When Li Chenxiang heard this, she almost jumped out in three steps at a time. Chu Xiong was so frightened that he quickly went over to help her, so that the old lady with little feet was not afraid of falling.

"Mom, be careful. If you fall, I won't be able to explain to Comrade Li Chenxi!"

"Captain Chu, where are my three boys now? Is he okay now?"

The old lady took Chu Xiong's hand and asked excitedly.

Regardless of their class status, Li Yaozu and his wife were also members of the Eighth Route Army. Chu Xiong just said "auntie" and let nature take its course.

"Auntie, don't worry, he's fine, he's done a great job, he's not far away, I'll definitely bring him back to you next time I see him!"

The old lady felt relieved when Chu Xiong said from his own words that everything was fine with the three boys.

"Li San, ask someone to send the silver coins to Captain Chen of the martial arts team, tell the kitchen to prepare some dishes, and take out two bottles of good wine from under my bed..."

"Captain Chu, can you stay and have a few glasses of water and wine with me?"

Chu Xiong could tell that although Li Yaozu had been holding his hands after hearing the news about the three boys, he could feel the joy in the old man's heart.

The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles, not to mention the time of war!

The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold!

"Mr. Li has been hiding under the bed for a long time. Of course I want to drink a few drinks. Is there any more? If there are more, I can take them away!"

"No, just two bottles, really, just two bottles!"

Li Yaozu was afraid that Chu Xiong would hit his rich man again, so he quickly emphasized that it would only be two bottles.

Chu Xiong thought in his heart:
Chapter completed!
