Chapter 1206 Returning home after a thousand miles (Part 1)
It is said that people are timid when they are close to home, even if they are as free and easy as Tang Dao, they are no exception. Tang Dao and the five people almost never rested along the way, and the boat they were on was a specially chartered steamer up the river. Even so, it was also
It still took seven full days to get from Jiangcheng to Jinxi in northwest Sichuan.
Seven days is enough time for Tang Dao, who is already extremely strong mentally, to do all kinds of psychological construction. In his previous life, Tang Dao left his parents and joined the military camp. He also had family leave once a year. Although not many went back because of the busy military affairs.
But at least I can see my parents and watch them start to turn gray year by year.
But in this life, he is in the body of a son, but his soul is a different person. For a moment, Tang Dao, who is as strong as Tang Dao, does not know how to face unfamiliar parents, especially when he enters the border of Jinxi County and leaves home.
The door is less than thirty miles away.
Jinxi is connected to the northwest of Aba Maoxian County and to the southwest of Shifang, which is a typical mountainous landscape. Riding a military horse along the mountain road and watching the sunset gradually slipping from the top of the mountain, Tang Dao, who was leading the way, suddenly slowed down his horse's hooves.
The four people following may not know the complexity of their commander's heart, but they can feel the hesitation of the commander's timidity. This is the commander's own private matter, and no one can interrupt. They all lightly reined in the reins and slowed down the horses' hooves, quietly.
followed Tang Dao.
"Da Yu, tell me, when you return to your hometown one day, what will your grown-up brothers and sisters do to you? Will they resent you for not returning for so long?" Tang Dao looked at the sunset and suddenly lowered his voice.
asked in a voice.
"Sir, your brothers and sisters will definitely jump up in anger when they see you, especially the big carrot head who will definitely jump into your arms. You are afraid that you are not strong enough to hug so many brothers and sisters."
Xia Xiaoyuhao answered firmly.
"What we hope most is that you are still alive, but that you come back. After you left, you told us that after you defeated the Japanese, you would come back to us. You can definitely do it."
Guipeng walked all the way. Even though it was already evening, there were definitely more than seven waves of villagers who came to inquire with lanterns. However, Tang Xiaoduo, who is now famous, did not have to sign up. This picture is quite handsome.
Once your face is exposed, it is not a pass.
"Mom, as he said, you have never killed a Japanese, and this Japanese has never hurt you!" Perhaps it was the memory of the body itself, but the Tang family's mother's cry was not stagnant at all.
"If people are kind, even if good fortune has not yet come, misfortune has been far away!" That is what Guipeng, an old man, always said on his lips.
Go and bring down this small plate of twice-cooked pork that was left outside the kitchen. You, Tao, hate eating fatty meat the most. "Bah! I've read in the newspaper that your kid can be a battalion commander or a regiment commander. That's for god's sake.
The Japanese worked hard to win over him, and if he puts money in his friend's face, he won't be able to check out for a month!" The Tang family woman, who was thick and not even strong, raised her eyebrows and poked Guipeng's forehead with her fingers.
"That's right! My dear, he was injured in the war with Japan. Please leave the house and let mom take a look!" Tang's wife realized at that time, her face full of distress.
That kind of caution may come from the inheritance in the genes. Tang Dao has been strictly guarding money since his great-grandfather's generation. It is Li Lu's principle that the Tang family's parents did not belong to the Tang Dao branch and built a house with eight rooms in the east, west and south. The Tang family's ancestors
This is what we call a run-down house, and it is very different from a special home.
Of course, Kang Dao adheres to the family management method of showing off wealth, but he is definitely a Grandet type. As long as there are no minor changes in the household of hired labor and tenants, Tang Dao has always been stingy with money and food. The memory of the Tang family
Tell me, every New Year, my father will burn some old IOUs. "Old man, my son has just come home. What the hell is he?" The man glared at his husband, then turned around to comfort the Tang family: "Don't pay attention to me, don't look at him."
I'm so fierce now. I haven't slept badly since I heard that the 43rd Army rushed to the Songhu battlefield. This is really a loss of several kilograms of meat. Huh, it's not like you eat badly and sleep soundly like me. Your baby is so stupid.
The ancestors of the Xiao family have blessed us, so how can everything be okay?"
Ah Gen went to cook this piece of bacon, and Ah Si served tea to some military lords to greet him." Madam Guipeng said as she pulled Guipeng out of the house, greeting her enthusiastically.
The man cried so hard that the Tang family didn't know what to do for a moment. They knew how to comfort them, but when they were in trouble, a rich female voice sounded in their ears: "It's bad, it's bad, the babies are all back."
, why is he crying?
Don’t let others laugh.”
Although this was actually in vain, before hearing the word mother, Guipeng relaxed all over and allowed the small figure to hug him. His mother's arms should be the most talkative place in the world!
What does it mean that God has opened his eyes? You dare to think that I am a disaster!
Just like the voice-activated lights in previous lives, Tang Jili's long and mournful howl caused the lights in several rooms of Tang Dao to light up one after another.
"Ahem!"
In the future, this is a proper retreat from the area. So, the Tang family and his seven people and ten war horses ran all the way to the entrance of the village. The Tang family mounted their horses and walked to the door of their house. Tang Dao still closed the small door at this time, and the two
A small red lantern flashed a dim red light. "You know what a hammer, why did he write home to say hello if he was injured? His mother was so worried about him that she lost so much weight just by looking at him?" Sitting next to him
Tang Xiaojiu suddenly snorted and patted the table hard.
On the other hand, the eight family members of Tang Dao who came out looked like they were used to it. It was simply not a daily operation, it was nothing! The mother of Tang Dao roared, and the hundreds of bottles of old wine outside Tang Dao's brewing workshop shook!
In the next life, the Tang family has never been hugged by their mother in such a small way since they entered the era. It does not mean that Tang Dao must count the only son of the Tang family. There are a total of 6 people in the family. They encountered bandits who robbed their homes.
, this is basically just accepting your fate without paying the money.
That is the feeling of home.
The Tang family is very familiar with fooling my mother. Every time I came home in the past, what I was most afraid of was not that my mother would see the scars on my body. The tears shed by my mother would make me heartbroken, but I didn’t know how.
I haven’t been comforted yet, but I’m excited. His baby opened the door for me!
The person on the wall was obviously very frightened. He was stunned for a long time before he heard a muffled "plop" sound. The guy holding the Sichuan dialect and dragging the ancient language unexpectedly fell onto the wall in a roundabout way. He didn't say anything for a long time.
"Master Duo is back, madam, Master Duo is back, God has opened his eyes." A shrill howl sounded from the side of the wall, resounding through the night sky. "Of course, you would dare to do this if it were any other commander, but follow the commander
, you will definitely come back alive to find your younger brothers and sisters. This is what you promised us. The big carrot head has been hanging with you on a hook for a hundred years. It has changed a lot." Xia Xiaoyu nodded extremely hesitantly.
In addition to such a peaceful embrace with Tantai Mingyue, the Tang family has never had such close contact with many other people, especially the primitive instincts trained by two generations of soldiers on the battlefield. In the face of such an "attack", the Tang family's
The muscles tighten out of habit, and the whole body accumulates strength.
When the lights came on inside the house, the Tang family saw clearly what their mother looked like, and they knew where their unusually strong body came from. Although it was a little after four o'clock in the evening, the courtyard door was already locked.
, which is quite in line with the extremely cautious nature of his father in Guipeng’s memory.
I think back then, Duke Li of Guipeng also hoped that his beloved man would be as beautiful as a lotus flower, and he would also be able to show off his talents.
Yes, as the saying goes: The fault of the father will be replaced by the son! In order to suppress her abusive husband, I seem to have forgotten at this moment that the person you are holding in your arms the next moment will still be your eldest baby!
"The newspaper said that he was injured during the war with Japan. Is he bad now?" When the Tang family sat down, Xiao Hanlian, who was sitting next to the Tang family, took the Tang family's hand and asked, with full eyebrows.
Long Yan, who was so worried that his chest pressed against his back due to hunger, finally looked forward to the sound of the door opening.
"There are injuries. This is all for publicity. The government is doing this. Old man, mom, they know it." The Tang family shook their heads and said, but it was in that area. There were almost no bandits to attack. First of all, it was Tang Xiaojiu.
I made a bad friend, Old Uncle Wang, who served as a regiment leader in the army and chased down his brother No. 1,000. This is a bad person. Whoever robbed Tang Dao, no matter if he is a bandit in this place, has to weigh the consequences.
On the other hand, Tang Dao relies on the good reputation accumulated over decades in the four villages outside the country. The tenants are all from the same village or surrounding villages. As long as there is no trouble, it will spread from one to ten. This is
It only takes a while to get hundreds or even thousands of people to help out with swords and guns.
Xia Xiaoyu and Long Yan, who followed the Tang family and carried the gifts that the Tang family bought for their parents in the mountain city, looked at each other. "If he scolds you, just scold you! What does it have to do with Lao Wang!" Their bodies were so thin that they were no longer rickety.
The middle-aged woman looked embarrassed and defended her bad friend, "It's Lao Wang. He thinks his son can be the leader?
Although the father's tone was gentle, the Kang family almost couldn't hold back their laughter. How could a mother with such a gorgeous figure have lost weight? The old man was sure he was telling a hot joke.
Listening to their parents arguing over each other's words, the Tang family smiled and kept talking, and just listened quietly.
Everyone understands that although Mr. Guipeng has not yet reached the rank of head of the lower school, the war has not yet begun and he is far from returning to his hometown. He has troubled ten foreign countries and four villages, but this hometown and village are running or escaping.
Bar!
The pure Sichuan accent of the Tang family was paired with the ancient sayings about ethics and morality. The combination of the seven made the Tang family burst into laughter and yelled: "Brother Pao, you are a hammer, Tang Jili, you are a melon. You have only been gone for a year."
, even I recognize Suo."
"Master Duo, Mrs. Duo, Master Duo is back, it's really Master Dadu!" The old man, who was not over seventy years old, opened his eyes that were not drowsy, looked at the Tang family intently, and shuddered.
He grabbed the lantern and ran towards the house.
However, I seem to have forgotten that this poem is immediately preceded by the phrase, Shuo Xiao and Shuo Xiao, which naturally means that there is no handsome person, with a slender figure and a bad appearance. However, the father-in-law of the Tang family may have dreamed that Shuo Xiao turned out to be
literal meaning!
That's right! So what if the soul hasn't changed yet? That body is still born and raised by this middle-aged couple. Even though a hundred years have passed, the spirit of the Chinese soldiers' resistance to war has never been weakened.
The small door opened very slowly.
The bandits ranged from dozens to hundreds to more than a dozen. To fight against such a small group of village warriors was just out of their minds.
I am afraid that I am not familiar with it yet, and I am afraid that the man will cry so much that his nose is full of tears, and he often uses his son's narrow shoulders as a rag to wipe his nose.
The Kang family of many years have understood it, but they always think it is very powerful. When they grow up, they may be able to understand some of the artistic conception.
A few people headed by Xia Xiaoyu and Long Yan nodded desperately to prove that our officers can both fight and blow!
Just hearing this sound makes me feel sad. The wall of Guipeng's house is relatively low, less than two or eight meters. Although Tang Dao is considered one of the seventh richest households in the mountainous county, there is definitely something wrong with ranking among the bottom seven.
, thanks to the secret brewing recipe passed down from ancestors, Guipeng's Baogushao craft beer has long been sold throughout the county, and even as far away as small towns like Shancheng.
I, not our son, have never changed!
The road to the mountain outside Eighty Years seemed very short, but once it was time to return home, it was not that long. It was not until the lanterns came down that the Tang family led a few people to the back of the house, which was more unfamiliar in his memory.
Even though the mother of Tang Dynasty was tough and tough, her name was very ancient. Her surname was Xiao and her last name was Junlian! The name came from a line in the Book of Songs, "There are no cattails in the countryside!" Hanlian said a lotus.
It means "Your Tao Wazi! He's finally back. Mom misses him so much." And before the Tang family could react, a thick figure with a strong fragrance jumped out from the small door and went directly to the door.
The bad guy who hugged the Tang family, Tang Jili, does that mean that Tuanzuo’s generation has no more four brothers? That’s because the legendary Taijun is still alive! No wonder Tang Tuanzuo is so awesome,
The future Tang Sword General!
Judging from the body shape alone, the Tang family felt that the truth of the mother's words was at least 40%. Seeing the superior's mother showing off her power, including Long Yan, who had the smallest mouth, everyone looked at her nose and heart, and Quan took it for granted.
Behind the scenes, the commander is just a big baby, who dares to laugh?
It is estimated that everything must be reversed, but when he arrived at the Tang family, he took a completely different path from his ancestors. He not only chose to join the army with extreme caution, but also went to the rear line without hesitation, even leaving his parents.
There was an explanation from both sides.
This is a rather special courtyard in Sichuan Province. There are eight wing rooms in the east, west and south, plus one is a small courtyard. Even bragging about it is natural!
Tang Dao's fourth son was obviously not at all mean-spirited. Long Yan, who was standing in front of the Tang family with his things in hand, gave Xia Xiaoyu a wink. Don't let that kind of thing go out to the recruitment group. Don't think of the hard-working minority who are trying to make a living in the mountainous area.
Bullying, the lack of wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains makes us less tough than the people in the plains.
Are you still going to fight against the damn Japanese? That's when the baby is back. If he comes back, I will put two bowls of arsenic on top of his bowl and let the parents-in-law on the ground kill him! I haven't finished the wine barrel yet, I will drag it with me.
Burn the sorghum made by Tang Xiaojiu and drink me to death."
After all, children are just tools used by husband and wife to hurt each other when they quarrel! Feeling the carrot finger from the mother who stabbed her forehead no matter what, the Tang family sighed slightly.
Of course, the only one who could say that was his father. The Tang family still had time to raise their head and take a bad look at the cheap old man of their own generation. The old woman who had just hugged her to vent her emotions got mad and turned her head and pointed at her husband.
He started scolding: "Tang Xiaojiu, does he have the nerve to say that? If he has a bad friend like Wang Jiutong, who says every day that your baby is bad material to be a soldier, can your baby become a soldier?
"Madam Duo, most of you have returned home after a long journey. You are tired. Do you want me and the military men to retreat to the house first and take a rest?" The old man who was regarded as an elder began to persuade me. On the other hand, my father, Tang Xiaojiu,
But they are quite different from the mother and son. The Sichuanese is already short, and Gui Pengqian is not that thin. Standing next to his burly wife and son, she looks even thinner.
"Huh, he's worried. He's worried that if he chats with you every night and uncovers all the bad things about Chen Zhima that happened decades later, you might sleep badly or lose weight?" Tang Xiaojiu looked worried.
He continued to use the sound coming out of his nostrils to maintain his dignity as an father in front of his son.
In slightly remote mountainous areas such as Jinxi, especially during the Qiliu War in Sichuan Province, there were continuous small battles for several years. The social order has long since collapsed, and the number of mountain bandits can be said to be very small. This is very rare.
With Mrs. Tang's size and tough temperament, she brought two kitchen knives to the door of the house, saying that there is nothing wrong with chopping off more than a dozen dog heads.
In my memory, when the ancient old man goes out for a walk, his legs and feet are too nimble, but he runs very slowly! Give me a gun, and he can go off to the battlefield.
Ask me to let him go! Is there any bad guy among them named Tang? The big one will run away as soon as he says it, and the old one is obviously right but he still talks nonsense!
That is actually the main reason why the Tang family does not have the confidence to recruit a thousand new soldiers in their hometown. You must know that in April last year, the entire Sichuan Province had not recruited more than 200,000 new soldiers at the call of the King of Sichuan Province.
strong.
Although I am not too accustomed to it, I still feel that it is not wrong. Steel is poured into iron, and the Predator will frown when facing a hail of bullets, so he will completely relax and lose his mind!
It is known that many rich families have to maintain servants at home and do not have enough private armed forces to keep the family safe, but Tang Dao is an example. There are only eight servants in the family, one of whom is the Tang family's grandfather's book boy.
Guo Xi has not been around in Tang Dao for more than eighty years. The Tang family has called him uncle since birth: none of them is the idiot Gui Pengqian picked up from the roadside seventy years later. Although he is low in body and weak in strength, he has a great brain
Although he was too bad, he only had to do rough work, but he was the only one among Tang Dao who had no strength value; the other was an orphan left behind by an employee of Tang Dao who died of illness.
He stayed in Tangdao to work as a book boy for the Tang family when he was only four years old. He was only 15 years old. The war horse suddenly accelerated and ran towards home along the mountain road. The villagers who knew that the Tang family had returned home quickly ran home, thinking about the day when the Tang family returned home.
It's a small happy event. I'll give Tang Dao some gifts tomorrow. Is there any little talker who will rush to tell the Guipeng family first? The Tang family can only explain it tirelessly. I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives that time during the war.
It is rare to find time, and I hope that my father will not make a big fuss and even inform Tang Dao about delaying preparations. I just want to quietly have a meal with the old man and my mother. "Haha! It's bad, you will all be alive.
Seeing failure, your old man and grandma are the same!" The Tang family laughed loudly, shook the reins and roared loudly: "Drive!"
It's because he's not genetically inclined to be a lean, strong, cheap old man. Not to mention he's 1.4 meters tall. He must have had problems when he was young because he didn't have enough milk to play basketball.
A few steps away from the Tang family, they were about to knock the iron door knocker when they suddenly heard a head popping up on the wall near the small door outside the courtyard, "I wonder which brother Pao Ge is coming to visit? It's already getting late and Tang Dao hasn't closed the door to thank the guests yet, so I'd like to invite you as well."
"Are you so unsure about coming back tomorrow?" As he muttered to himself, Tang Jia's originally confused eyes gradually became hesitant. Tang Jia's mouth twitched slightly, and he pointed out, "Mu Yi Zai and Zhong Xia Jia Yu,
A hunched-over old man holding a lantern opened the door and took a cautious look inside. The Tang family took a few steps back and shouted respectfully: "Uncle, it's you who are back!"
