When I was in Xi'an, the most common name for Yan'an was two words: bandit area. Only when I got here did I understand that not to mention the Japanese-controlled areas in the northeast, it was also the central China area in the Huanghuai and North China areas, and the people here lived better.
It doesn't matter if they don't have enough food and clothing, at least the people here have something to look forward to. One of the best measures that *** has taken is to divide the fields. With the land, the people have something to look forward to in life, and they can more or less harvest.
A little food will save you from starving to death on the streets.
Early that morning, Ma Xingkong took Lao Hui for a walk on the street. These days, people are not surprised to see a man with a giant wolf walking around in the market, except for those who are ignorant.
Children like to follow Lao Hui. The result of doing so is to be severely beaten by adults. Ma Xingkong just smiled when he saw it.
Wolves are wolves after all. When they see chickens, ducks and other poultry, they will show a little bit of wildness intentionally or unintentionally. Maybe Lao Hui is really hungry. When he walked to the middle of the street, a chicken was scared by Lao Hui and jumped up and down.
More than ten feet high, it fell right in front of Lao Hui. Lao Hui didn't even think about it, and he was about to die in one bite.
"My chicken!" The crying voice immediately recalled that a woman ran out of the yard and ran out of the yard. She sat down on the street and cried sadly: "Our whole family is counting on this chicken."
He can lay eggs and hatch several more. Within two years, I will have ten or twenty chickens. In three years, I will have hundreds of chickens. With so many chickens, our family will not have to worry about food and clothing. I didn’t expect that today
But he died miserably in your hands, my God, is there any justice in this?"
At first, Ma Xingkong felt that he was crying because he was sad, so he wanted to go up to him to comfort him and just pay some compensation. But the more he didn't arrive first, the more he heard something was wrong. It turned out that he was trying to blackmail him. Ma Xingkong ignored him and just stood there and watched.
She cried. Lao Hui held the chicken in his mouth and looked at Ma Xingkong. Ma Xingkong smiled: "Eat yours, don't worry about it!" Lao Hui took the chicken in his mouth and went to the side to eat.
Seeing that Ma Xingkong was indifferent to her, the woman cried for a while but found it boring. She stopped her crying by applying an emergency brake and yelled at Ma Xingkong: "You pay for it! Stay with me for free!"
"How much do you want?" Ma Xingkong crossed his arms and looked at the woman: "Do you want the money for one chicken or the money for the chickens ten years from now?"
"It's chicken money ten years from now!" The woman cried for a long time without shedding a single tear. She stood up from the ground, patted the dust on her body, and stretched out one hand in front of Ma Xingkong: "Here,
Ten oceans!”
Ma Xingkong smiled: "Ten oceans is nothing to me, but since you want chicken money in ten years, I have to give it to you in ten years!"
When the woman heard this, she realized that Ma Xingkong didn't want to give him anything. She hugged Ma Xingkong's legs and shouted into the house: "Master, come quickly, someone killed our chicken and ran away!"
A burly man came out of the yard immediately with a kitchen knife and shouted: "Who is it! That guy who doesn't want to live dares to kill my chickens?"
Ma Xingkong took a look and said: "Double act! Okay! Come on! Use the knife in front of me. When I am playing with the knife, you are still playing in the mud!"
"Save you for being such a bear. You dare to say such arrogant words! Madam, get out of the way and see how I deal with him!" The big man suddenly pounced and came towards Ma Xingkong's head.
"Stop!" Rose came with two people from a distance. The woman and the big man hurriedly packed their things and stood up from the ground, still muttering: "He killed my chicken, he must pay me for it!"
"
Rose glanced at Lao Hui who was eating chicken, and then at the couple: "Er Gouzi, do you really want to make this matter bigger? I can tell you that Mr. Ma is our invited guest, don't talk about him
They can beat you all over the ground, but even so, if you go to the Central District, what good fruits can you, a landlord, get?"
Ergou and his mother-in-law did not dare to speak and stood respectfully. Rose took the two pieces of ocean from Ma Xingkong and threw them in front of Ergou and his mother-in-law: "Take it, go back quickly, this is all
Enough to sell ten chickens!”
Ergou and his mother-in-law looked at each other, Jiang Jian put the coins in front of him, and took the mother-in-law and hurried home. It was just a fight with a foreigner, but if he fought with a gangster, he would definitely not be as good as himself.
Eat the fruit. Ma Xingkong watched the two people get into the house and said to Rose: "Why, you still allow such a thing. This is more annoying than fighting openly. If you play for just a few minutes, that big fat man will die."
!”
Rose nodded: "I believe this, but we have business matters, and Vice Chairman Zhou wants to see you!"
Ma Xingkong looked around. He remembered this place, glanced at Lao Hui who was eating chicken, smiled evilly at him, then glanced at the house, and then followed Rose.
Zhou Enlai had already arrived in the living room early. Everyone exchanged a few words and did not talk about the chicken. Zhou Enlai got straight to the point: "Ma Xingkong, I wonder if you have read General Zhang's letter?"
Ma Xingkong shook his head. Zhou Enlai handed the letter to Ma Xingkong: "Then take a look. What do you think of General Zhang's proposal?"
Ma Xingkong read it over. He was shocked when he saw it. According to what was said in the letter, Zhang Xueliang led all the Northeastern Army in Zhenbei, passing through northern Shaanxi, and entered the Northeast from Mongolia to regain his homeland. Ma Xingkong
Putting down the letter, he looked at Zhou Enlai and said: "Gong Zhou, this must not be done. The Japanese army in the Northeast is powerful. I don't even know it, but the tens of thousands of people in my second brother's army are not enough to fill the gap between the Japanese! My second brother is crazy!"
"
Zhou Enlai nodded: "As far as we know, General Zhang has proposed sending troops to Chiang Kai-shek many times, but Chiang Kai-shek has always refused, so he has such a choice!"
"Without further delay, I will go back immediately to persuade my second brother to give up this idea as soon as possible!" Ma Xingkong stood up, gave Wrinkle Lai and Rose a fist, and walked out the door. Zhou Enlai hurriedly stopped: "Stay, Ma
Brother is still a hot-tempered man, listen to me, we just received the news that because General Zhang’s crusade against us is unfavorable, Chiang Kai-shek is going to personally go to Shaanxi to supervise the war. If General Zhang leaves at this time, we will be even more disadvantaged!”
"What does Duke Zhou mean?"
Zhou Enlai smiled slightly: "We must fight! We hope that Chiang Kai-shek can also go on the road to resist the war. As long as Chiang Kai-shek can also resist the war, not only will General Zhang be able to fulfill his wish, but we, China, may also be saved!"
Ma Xingkong nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely convey the words of Duke Zhou to General Zhang!"
Zhou Enlai took Ma Xingkong's hand and said, "I really hope Brother Ma can stay for a few more days, but it's a pity that national affairs are more important. If we are destined to be together one day, I, Zhou Enlai, will definitely pay a visit to Brother Ma in person!"
"Brother! Oh no, Lao Hui is eating people!" Long Jie suddenly broke in and dropped this bombshell.
