Chapter 26 Woman!

The New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder, and a white hair wind is blowing near the Xu family shack.

call!
When the wind blows, the floating snow outside is blown up. The snow gives color to the wind, and the wind makes the snow no longer lonely.

At this time, Xu Chaoyang was sitting on the kang at home, disassembling a Liao Type 13 79 rifle and performing maintenance on several guns according to the maintenance requirements of the Military Museum.

He only had three magazines of 9mm bullets left that he brought from Qi City. If he encountered another battle, they would probably run out of bullets. At that time, the pointed 7.92 bullets would have to be supplied to the Liao Type 13 79 rifles first. The reason why they didn’t give priority to the Czech type was that they didn’t have many 7.92 bullets, and they couldn’t let the Czech type use up all of them, right?

At least we have to make sure that everyone’s gun can fire, right?
When Xu Chaoyang was worried, he recalled what Liu Dapiezi had said. That guy said that now Ice City is full of these Fengtian Army remnants. Now that it’s the end of the year, there should be more people like this, right?

“father?”

“father!”

Thinking of this, Xu Chaoyang finished maintaining his gun and shouted towards the outer room. Old Xu, who was washing vegetables, came into the room with his wet hands, pushed open the door curtain with his shoulder.

“You’re calling my soul!”

Xu Chaoyang said, “Dad, help me harness the car. I’m going into the city.”

“Can I help your dad poop too?”

“The New Year is coming soon, why are you going to the city? If you have something to do, you can just go to Nangang to do it. Why do you have to go to the city?”

Xu Chaoyang explained: “You also know that the New Year is coming soon, so you have to buy some New Year’s goods, right?”

“never heard of that!”

Xu Hanshan raised his hand and said, “Who told you that villagers have to go to the city to buy New Year’s goods for the New Year? We don’t have anything in the countryside!”

Just as Xu Chaoyang was about to open his mouth, he found that he couldn’t continue the conversation.

He was used to the city life, where he had to go to the supermarket for everything. But for the country folk of this era, the instinct of life was to do everything by themselves. Spending money? That was something they would only do when they were pushed to a certain extent!
“Ah…” Xu Chaoyang used an exclamation to cover up his embarrassment, raised his chin towards the east room, and responded: “Aren’t there two women? I’m thinking of going to the city to buy some cloth and make new clothes for them.”

Xu Hanshan said earnestly, “My eldest son, I tell you, you can’t spoil this woman. If you spend money on her now, what will happen to her after she gets married?”

He was stunned when he said to Xu Chaoyang: “What door?”

“Bullshit!” Xu Hanshan cursed, “If you don’t plan to marry her, why did you bring two women home?”

“Besides, the villagers’ mouths are as sharp as the waists of old women’s cotton pants. If these two women don’t come through the door, they don’t have to plan to go out in the future. As long as they take a step over the threshold, they will be drowned in spit!”

“Those old ladies at the west end of the village will definitely say, ‘These two bitches, they moved into someone else’s house before getting married, and now they’re being kicked out, right?’ Do you still plan to let these two women live by then?”

While listening to Xu Hanshan’s words, Xu Chaoyang glanced towards the east room. As a modern man, it was impossible for him to consider so many red tapes. Xu Chaoyang came here to fight the Japanese, so why would he think about this? But now he couldn’t help but think about it. It was easy for these two women to enter Xu’s house, but it was not easy for them to leave.

To use a popular internet phrase that he is familiar with, it means ‘everything was fine when we came here, and we can’t go back’!
“Uncle Xu?”

“uncle?”

“Come and take a look at the paper-cuts and the Chinese character ‘Fu’ that I cut. It’s almost Chinese New Year, so shouldn’t we be festive?”

Guan Laoer’s wife walked into the west room with a piece of cut red paper. Seeing Xu Chaoyang deliberately shaking it off, the whole piece of red paper spread out in front of Xu Chaoyang. The window paper was a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and there were strokes of calligraphy on the word “Fu”…

“Oh, this is a good craft.”

Xu Hanshan looked happy and said, “This is what a decent person should be like.” Guan Laoer’s wife was also unambiguous: “Uncle, I am also the daughter of a decent family. As long as Chaoyang doesn’t look down on us, we can do everything from washing clothes to cooking. If you don’t believe me, I will show you my skills tonight.”

Nowadays, no matter who a rural girl marries or what she becomes, her foundation remains unchanged. Before she gets married, who doesn’t work? If she doesn’t keep her home tidy, is she still a rural girl? Do she still want to get married in the future?

“Just now Chaoyang said that he would go to the city to get a piece of cloth for each of you two sisters to wear new clothes…”

Before Xu Hanshan finished speaking, Guan Laoer’s wife started to show off: “Why buy that? It’s a waste of money. Let Chaoyang borrow a machine tomorrow and I’ll spin it for you. By then, let alone making two sets of clothes, it won’t be a problem for everyone in our family to make one set.”

As he was talking, Guan Laoer’s wife put down the window grilles, rolled up her sleeves and ran to the outer room: “Uncle, you take a rest, I’ll cook dinner tonight.”

As soon as she went out, she stood outside the house and glared at her child: “You’re a tiger? Don’t stand in the way of harm here, go inside and play with your dad.”

Xu Chaoyang’s eyes almost popped out of his head. How could he be a father?
Xu Hanshan looked at his son and said, “Chaoyang, how about Dad go out and hide at night? It just so happens that your uncle and his friends have invited me to go drinking several times but I have always turned them down. It’s not a good idea to keep turning them down.”

“Don’t bother me!”

Xu Chaoyang was almost crying!
If you ask him to fight the Japanese, he has no problem doing that. But if Xu Hanshan hides away and there is no one else at home, Xu Chaoyang is afraid that the woman from Guan Laoer’s family will catch him at night!

That’s so embarrassing. The soldiers sent out by Lao Te let others blow the charge. Isn’t that ridiculous?

“Ok, deal.”

Xu Hanshan didn’t care what Xu Chaoyang said, as if he didn’t hear it: “Xiufang, I’m going to go out for a while. Well, thank you for making food for Chaoyang. If not, you can have a drink tonight. There is wine in the cellar. This kid is wild. Don’t let him go out. Do you hear me?”

“Hey~”

Although Guan Laoer’s family seemed carefree, when it came to the festival, they were so embarrassed that they couldn’t even raise their heads.

Xu Hanshan walked into the snow with his hands behind his back and a wicked smile. At that moment, Xu Chaoyang leaned on the window paper and said in a hissing voice, “Dad, why don’t you come back?”

At this moment, the little boy who was forced into the house lifted the door curtain, stood under the kang, clasped his hands and said very aggrievedly: “You are not my father.”

After saying that, he rushed to the outer room and said to his mother, “Mom, Xu Chaoyang is not my father!”

Xiufang swung her hand and slapped him – bang!

The slap made the child so dumbfounded that she shouted, “Go away!”

“what!!”

The little boy went straight into the east room, crying so loudly that it shook the earth, but Xu Chaoyang felt sad when he heard it.

The little boy will never understand why his mother does this, and he is even less likely to know that this is the only thing a woman can offer in exchange for the opportunity for her child to grow up, and even then, she still thinks that others value it.

If you really despise me, where can you go if I chase you out of this icy and snowy place? Why would you sleep in a dilapidated temple with drafts everywhere and on straw mats full of corpses?
The world is in such a mess, who has time to care about this orphan and widow? Even if there is, they will take advantage of you and leave, what can you do!

What’s the use of having face at this moment!

Xiufang gritted her teeth and tried to find a way out, but she suddenly felt a slight chill on her cheek. She reached out and touched it, and found wet tears had already stuck to her hand.

This uneducated woman didn’t know why her tears were flowing, but she knew deeply that tonight was very important to her!
