Fifty-Nine Memories of the Past

Gu Chen smiled and joked: "Uncle Wu, the best scout? Xiao Jiaojiao knows it!"

Wu Boda's old face was a little red, and today's series of slaps in the face really made him feel ashamed!

"My Jiaojiao is born smart, can ordinary children be comparable?" Shen Jiaxing boasted proudly, and at the same time gave Wu Boda a step.

A few people who were full of food and drink quickly went down the mountain, and by the way, one person carried a large bundle of firewood, so that even if someone saw it, they would not suspect anything.

Gu Chen looked amused and said in a low voice, "Why do I think that we are hiding from the gendarmerie in the same way we did before, and we are also sneaking like this!"

Qian Wenliang burst out laughing, but Shen Jiaxing rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "Don't say these words outside, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth!"

Gu Chen stuck out his tongue, indicating that he knew what to do.

There were only a few children playing at the foot of the mountain. Seeing them all scattered, they looked at it from a distance with curiosity in their eyes.

Shen Jiao was really tired. She didn't wake up until it was almost dark. She was still woken up by the smell of meat, and her stomach was growling.

"Jiaojiao is awake, hurry up and eat meat!" Shen Jiaxing looked lovingly at his granddaughter with sleepy eyes.

Shen Jiao rubbed her eyes, but saw that the room was filled with heat, white air curling over everyone's body, looking hazy, but full of warmth.

Seeing her granddaughter's face in a trance, Shen Jiaxing thought she was still dreaming before she woke up, so she called softly in her ear, fearing to startle her granddaughter.

Shen Jiao looked at such a cautious Shen Jiaxing, her heart was warm, and she couldn't help but become stubborn, she yelled in Shen Jiaxing's ear, startling him a lot, and the whole person jumped up.

"Giggle!"

Shen Jiao rolled on the kang with a smile, and the silver bell-like laughter infected everyone.

Even after many years have passed, the cheerful laughter of the little girl will often ring in their ears.

Shen Jiaxing laughed himself, grabbed Shen Jiao and combed her braids, and after a while, two beautiful horn braids came out. Even though Shen Jiaxing was a rough guy, his skill in braiding was really good, not as good as that of a clever daughter-in-law. Difference.

"Okay, come down and eat meat. Today's meat is stewed by your grandfather Wu. It's so delicious!"

Shen Jiao hurriedly ran to the stove, looked at the tumbling meat and radishes in the cauldron, and sniffed exaggeratedly: "It's really fragrant!"

Wu Boda took a big bone from the pot and gave it to her, and said with a smile, "Children need to chew more bones to grow taller."

"Thank you, Grandpa Wu."

Shen Jiao stretched out her little hand and took the bone. This bone was a tube bone, more than half a chi long. Everyone watched the little girl grabbing the big bone with her two heads and nibbling hard, and laughed again involuntarily.

Gu Chen squatted beside Shen Jiao and whispered to her: "One leg weighs thirty or forty pounds, but your grandfather Wu is only willing to stew a third of it, and the rest is to be pickled and eaten, Jiaojiao You said that fresh meat is delicious in bacon, and there are more radishes than meat, can it be delicious when stewed?"

Shen Jiao patted him on the head and said solemnly, "Uncle Gu, if you have enough food and clothing, it won't be worth it for the rest of your life. You can't just try to eat happily for a while, it's the most important thing!"

Gu Chen originally wanted to find a little ally, but instead he let the little girl teach her a lesson, her eyes were about to pop out, Wu Boda was very proud and gave Shen Jiao a thumbs up, and then He reprimanded: "Xiao Jiaojiao is more sensible than you. After this meal is finished, we will eat potatoes and cabbage every day? I really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. I think when we were 25,000, a yak gave us a camp. It's been a month!"

"What do you eat? One person eats the meat?" Gu Chen was a little dumbfounded.

A yak's hair weighs no more than 500 catties at most, and a battalion must have around 500 people. Even if one person only eats one or two pieces of meat a day, it won't last for a month!

Wu Boda glared at him again: "How to eat? Of course, it is mixed with wild vegetables and boiled in soup. First, we eat beef bones. We boiled the soup for five days for a pair of beef bones, then boiled cowhide, followed by stomach and large intestines, etc., and finally I can only eat stewed meat. I remember that I was injured at the time. The old battalion commander focused on taking care of our wounded and distributed a lot of meat to our wounded. …”

Having said this, Wu Boda's eyes suddenly turned red, and he didn't continue talking, but picked up the spoon and kept stirring the broth, Shen Jiao couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Wu, where is your battalion commander now? "

Wu Boda wiped his face and said sadly: "No, the old battalion commander couldn't climb over the snow-capped mountains, he was tired, hungry and cold, he never woke up one night, and he couldn't eat a full meal until he died. ,Ugh!"

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Although Shen Jiaxing and the others had heard about the deeds of the 25,000 Long March in the newspapers, they had only heard about it as a story. How could anyone hear such a personal account of Wu Boda?

Shen Jiao's tears couldn't stop flowing. She cried for the unknown old battalion commander, and even more so for her grandfather in her previous life, who also didn't have a full meal when he died!

The sad cry of the little girl broke the dull atmosphere. Shen Jiaxing hurriedly asked her if she was not feeling well. Shen Jiao shook her head and sobbed: "Grandpa, you must eat more and have enough to eat!"

Shen Jiaxing felt sour in his heart and assured: "Jiaojiao, rest assured, grandpa must eat a lot of food every day and live a long life!"

Shen Jiao's tears turned into a smile, and she picked up the bone again and gnawed it, her face and hands were full of oil.

Wu Boda smiled knowingly. The memories of the past opened up his depressed heart a lot. Compared with the old battalion commander and other sacrificed comrades, he was able to survive and become a general. He was already a lackey in history. Now he has to suffer a little. What the hell, have you ever experienced the pain of climbing snow-capped mountains on grass?

Gu Chen was also a little touched, and subconsciously touched his head, but he touched the oil, which was slippery.

After being stunned for a while, he roared in exasperation: "Shen Jiao, who asked you to touch my head with your oily hand? I only washed my hair yesterday, ah! Damn girl, stop for me and see if I don't hit you. butt!"

Shen Jiao was taken aback by the furious Gu Chen, she jumped on Zhao Si's back in a conditioned reflex, Gu Chen ran up and down, not to mention her butt, she couldn't even touch a hair, she was so angry .

Everyone else smiled and watched the two smallest noises, and the atmosphere was peaceful!

There is meat in the pot, there are children making noise in the house, and there is plenty of food in the rice vat. Even if the heavy farm work will continue tomorrow, everyone still feels happy!
