Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 16
Wait for Second Master Qi to finish smoking another bag of cigarettes.The door slammed open.

Er Ya rushed out angrily from inside and went home.

Second Master Qi walked back into the house and saw Qian Xiaobao lying motionless on the kang like a dead dog.

Beside him was a large rolling pin.

"How is it? A stinky mouth! Are you comfortable this time? Relax your tendons and activate your blood!" Second Master Qi said.

Hearing Second Master Qi speak, Qian Xiaobao moved a little, choking like a pig.

"That old bastard in Lin Changling scolded me in front of his son and bullied me for being an honest person!" Qian Xiaobao said.

It was the first time that Second Master Qi heard Qian Xiaobao say that he was an honest person, and he couldn't help laughing.But he immediately understood what Qian Xiaobao meant.

Lin Changling knew that Qian Xiaobao was a man with a bottom line who dared to scold him.If Qian Xiaobao was a lawless and ruthless bandit, Lin Changling would not dare to scold him.

But Second Master Qi also understood Lin Changling's thoughts.

"The farmer family pays attention to diligence and thrift in housekeeping, you kid spends a lot of money. The farmer family pays attention to hard work, and you give others the impression that you are lazy. The farmer family pays attention to honesty and simplicity, and you are glib. People like Lin Changling certainly don't like you. "Second Master Qi said.

"The old Wan family brothers in the village are simple and honest and can still work. Why doesn't Lin Changling marry his daughter to them? It's not because he thinks he is poor and can't afford 200 yuan. He is an old money fan!" Qian Xiaobao retorted.

Indeed, it was because of the 200 yuan dowry that Erya never got married.

On this matter, Qi Erye couldn't refute.

"If I really want to marry Erya, I'll go straight to her house and pull out the pistol and shoot it in front of Lin Changling. I'm sure I'll make that old boy pee his pants! He can agree to any request." Qian Xiaobao said bitterly.

"Don't be silly! Let me ask you, did you eat an egg on the haystack today? The daughter-in-law of Lao Jiang's family didn't look good when she saw me today! I only found out when she went up to pick up eggs. Egg shell!" Qi Erye said angrily.

Qian Xiaobao ran outside all day, crossing mountains and ridges to fight the Japanese desperately, but in the end he was still a child.Mischievous and mischievous, there are always problems of one kind or another.

"Little button! You'll be so angry after eating her an egg!" Qian Xiaobao said.

The family to the west of Qi Erye's house is named Jiang.Both husband and wife are in their early twenties.Women are beautiful, but they are small-minded and can't bear the slightest disadvantage.

The man is Jiang Guofu, simple and honest.It's just because my wife is so beautiful, so I stare very closely.When other men say a word to his wife, he gets angry, and even if he looks at him, he gets angry.

Because of this incident, Jiang Guofu often had conflicts with the people in the village.He only has a good relationship with Second Master Qi. After all, Second Master Qi is old and has bad legs, so it is impossible for him to have unreasonable thoughts about his wife.

While the two were talking, the door slammed, and a beautiful woman in her early twenties walked in.

Her jet-black hair was combed smooth, and even though she was wearing patched clothes, she was cleanly washed.

The woman acted as if she hadn't seen Qian Xiaobao, she looked at Second Master Qi and said, "Second Master, tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. We kill pigs at home, remember to come over and eat blood sausage."

After saying this, she turned around and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, don't leave yet." Qian Xiaobao said as he got up from the kang all at once.

The woman turned her head sharply and looked fiercely at the little bastard who ate one of her eggs.

"This time, I bought a pack of matches for Second Master Qi. Just in time, you are here, and I will give you two boxes! It will be much more convenient to light a fire for cooking in the future." Qian Xiaobao said with a smile.

He speaks diligently and his legs are not slow.After jumping off the kang, he took out two boxes of matches from the soil basket in the corner and stuffed them into the woman's hand.

The woman's complexion immediately changed from three or nine days to dog days.

"So it's Brother Xiaobao, when did you come? We'll have dinner at home tomorrow too!" The woman invited with a smile.

"Sure, sure! Sister-in-law, go back quickly. If you haven't been home for such a long time, my elder brother should miss you." Qian Xiaobao said with something in his words.

The woman glared at Qian Xiaobao, turned around and went out with a match.

"Little bastard! You are not very old, but you are very good at making women happy." Second Master Qi scolded.

Qian Xiaobao lay on the kang again: "Since the pig will be slaughtered tomorrow, then I won't eat tonight, and I must have a big meal tomorrow!"

Seeing Qian Xiaobao's hopeless appearance, Second Master Qi was angry and funny.

"Just because of joking with his wife, Jiang Guofu almost got into a fight with the old Zhao family in the village. I don't know if he will invite someone surnamed Zhao to eat meat this time." Second Master Qi said.

It is a tradition to kill pigs during Chinese New Year in rural Northeast China.And all the people in the village should be invited to the house for a meal.Even if you are reluctant, but whoever does not do so will be looked down upon.It will be difficult to be a human being in the village in the future.

Early the next morning, the whole village gathered at Jiang's house.

Butchering pigs requires the help of many people.It takes four or five strong men just to catch a big fat pig from the pigsty and tie it with a rope.

The desperate struggle of a big fat pig before its death is no joke.

Qian Xiaobao was squatting at the base of his house basking in the sun without going over.He is afraid to let him work after passing.

Erya walked into the yard.She wants to finish the unfinished quilt.

Although she beat Qian Xiaobao up yesterday, her anger still persisted, and she still didn't want to talk when she saw Qian Xiaobao.

Erya didn't want to talk, but Qian Xiaobao gave her a smiling face early.

"Sister Erya, are you wearing powder? Why do you look so good today?" Qian Xiaobao said with a playful smile.

Girls like to hear others say they are beautiful, and Erya is no exception.

"Nonsense! How can I be so good-looking. What kind of powder do I wear every day? Besides, I can't afford it." Erya said with a blushing face.

"Really! If I lie to you, I'll be a puppy!" Qian Xiaobao said solemnly.

"I think you are a dog, a mangy dog!" Erya scolded.Although she was scolding, there was a smile on her face.

Unexpectedly, the shameless Qian Xiaobao barked like a dog twice.

Second Master Qi sat in the room smoking a pipe.He clearly heard the conversation of the two people outside and Qian Xiaobao's dog barking.

A mouthful of Kanto smoke was not exhaled, so that Second Master Qi snotted and tears flowed out.

"This brat, even though he is young, he knows how to tease girls without a teacher!"

"The next time I go back to Balitou, I will definitely buy you a box of the best rouge." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Brother Xiaobao! There is a shortage of manpower for slaughtering pigs, come and help!"

Jiang Guofu's wife's hearty shout came from the courtyard wall.

It seems that the work that should be done still cannot be avoided.

"The loud voice of this northeastern woman can be heard twenty miles away." Qian Xiaobao stood up and patted his buttocks as he spoke, and walked out of the courtyard gate.
