My 1983

Chapter 99

At this time, the most anxious person is Ma Shuncai himself, seeing that the fat meat in his mouth is not eaten, and his heart is also burning.

However, Lu Xiaofeng did not mean to be in a hurry, although the instructor was sacrificed on the battlefield, but there were more or less his own big brother factors here. Even if you don't look at this, just talking about the friendship between the two, Lu Xiaoguo is worth a visit.

After the chopped pile of firewood was placed in the corner, Lu Xiaoguo took a bucket from the kitchen to fill the water tank.

It wasn't until all this was done that he returned to Ma Shun's house.

"Comrade Lu, this is a breakdown of the aftermath of Chaowa's cooking, you have seen it."

Ma Shuncai said and took out a yellowed piece of grass paper from the room, and the grass paper was densely listed with some trivial numbers.

"Doesn't the army have a martyr's cemetery?"

Lu Xiaofeng took the straw paper and looked at it under the oil lamp.

"There is a cemetery, but we also have some customs here, so we just got a crown of clothes."

Ma Shuncai squeezed his hands his clothes, Lu Xiaofeng had promised to pay back all the debts owed by the instructor's family before, and now he could take advantage of this time to talk about it.

Listening to Ma Shuncai's words, Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything anymore, just put this detailed list away, and he would have to find Ma Yanli to face him at that time.

Because Ma Yanli has not forgiven herself, and there is no guest house in the poor and remote here, the two can only spend the night at Ma Shuncai's house.

For several days, Lu Xiaoguo and Lu Xiaofeng went to Ma Yanli's house to help, and even wondered if they could build part of the collapsed wing of the grass house.

And Ma Yanli didn't reject the two so much as she did at the beginning, in fact, she herself knew that her brother's sacrifice did not have much to do with Lu Xiaoguo.

But that day, as soon as he heard Lu Xiaoguo describe the details of the scene, his emotions did not control such a big reaction for a while.

Originally, I had a happy family, and although I lived in poverty, everything was developing in a better place. But later, his parents encountered a flash flood on the way into the mountain, and both of them died. At that time, because his brother was in the army, his eldest uncle Ma Shuncai still took care of his family.

But the disaster is not alone, less than a year later, his brother also died in the war, leaving only himself.

Since then, the people in the village will always bully themselves when they have nothing to do, and the eldest uncle Ma Shuncai is even more excessive, and has always wanted to marry himself off.

First, he can let his future in-laws pay off his own debts, and second, his family's several acres of paddy fields will naturally fall into his hands.

Ma Yanli is not unclear about all this, but what can she do as a little girl without the power of a chicken, she can only bury all her unwillingness and grievances in her heart.

Lu Xiaoguo's appearance seemed to have found a cathartic opportunity for himself, and the emotions that had been suppressed all this time were released like a flood that opened the floodgates.

In fact, she does not hate Lu Xiaoguo, although she does not understand that kind of comrade-in-arms, but she has also heard her brother say before that if he himself is killed, it must be these comrades-in-arms who block the bullets for him.

In the past few days, he has also calmed down, coupled with what the two brothers did, Ma Yanli can't help but regret the initial fierce reaction.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoguo was standing on a ladder mending the roof, while Lu Xiaofeng was not far away and mud.

Due to its disrepair, the roof of the family's old house has long been riddled with holes. After knowing the situation, Lu Xiaoguo pulled Lu Xiaofeng to mend it.

Looking at the busy appearance of the two, Ma Yanli turned around and came to the kitchen to make a pot of herbal tea.

Herbal tea is actually mint leaves picked from the water's edge and dried and soaked in boiled water.

Looking at the herbal tea handed over, Lu Xiaoguo was stunned, her efforts for so many days were finally not in vain, and now it seems that she has slowly forgiven herself.

As soon as I took a sip of herbal tea, I saw a group of villagers walking towards this side with great momentum.

Ma Yanli couldn't help but turn pale when she saw everyone, only she understood the purpose of these people coming, needless to say, the debt collector came.

Ma Shuncai hid behind the crowd and did not want to step forward. In the past few days, I have been watching Ma Yanli not let go, and I am a little anxious. It is clear that Lu Xiaofeng and the two are not bad money masters, in case these two gods of wealth slap their asses and leave, they will be empty.

There was no way, he had to gather the villagers who had lent the money to the instructor's family before, and everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Ma Shuncai's meaning.

Everyone has not asked for debts before, but everyone understands that if they press tightly, in case this girl can't think about it, it will be troublesome, and then the family will be gone, and who will ask for the money they owe.

But now it's different, with the two brothers Lu Xiaofeng and Lu Xiaoguo, are they still afraid that they won't be able to ask for money?

"Uncles and uncles, you also know what is going on at home, I really can't get so much money now!"

Ma Yanli's voice was full of crying, and she didn't plan to pay back.

In the past two years, I have run to the mountains alone without anything, in order to collect more mountain goods to pay everyone back, but it is often a drop in the bucket.

"You have no money, don't they have money yet?"

A tall thin man in the crowd shouted loudly, and his eyes also looked at the Lu Xiaofeng brothers in the courtyard.

Before coming, Ma Shuncai had already explained, and the purpose of coming this time was to rush Lu Xiaofeng and the two.

"This......!"

Ma Yanli was a little embarrassed, if Lu Xiaoguo and Lu Xiaofeng helped themselves to work, they could accept it. But if you let the family pay back the money for themselves, it can't be said.

The two thousand yuan that Lu Xiaofeng took before was returned by himself, on the one hand, he was angry at that time, and on the other hand, he also thought in his heart that others did not owe him.

"Don't do this and that, we've all heard that people are bringing money to help you."

Another person in the crowd shouted.

Ma Yanli is really about to collapse, since the death of her family one after another, the burden of the family has made this young girl who is just twenty years old suffer the snub of the villagers, and tears flow down her eyes without fighting.

"How much money, we give!"

Lu Xiaofeng said and came to everyone, and Lu Xiaoguo pulled Ma Yanli behind him to comfort him.

Seeing that the Lord had come forward, a group of people stopped making noise and quieted down.

"This is money owed to my family!"

The thin and tall step came to Lu Xiaofeng and handed over an IOU. There is also a handprint clearly printed on the IOU, needless to say that it is Ma Yanli's.

"You see right!"

Lu Xiaofeng handed the IOU to Ma Yanli behind him and said. At this time, I am most worried that someone is cheating.

Ma Yanli wanted to refuse, but looking at Lu Xiaofeng's firm eyes, she could only swallow the words back, it seemed that she really needed help at this point. Thinking about it, he took out a small book from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaofeng.

This book is full of his family's foreign debts, which is also the motivation for his own life, no matter what, he must pay these money back.

Lu Xiaofeng directly took over this small book and compared it, and the content of the book was from the expenses of handling the aftermath after Ma Yanli's parents died, all the way to the instructor.

Looking at the crooked pencil writing on the book, Lu Xiaofeng was distressed, he really couldn't imagine what kind of pressure this girl was under every day.

After that, Lu Xiaofeng began to pay back the money one by one according to the content in the book.

Although the amount of money is not much, it is all some miscellaneous trivialities, which adds up to Lu Xiaofeng and keeps Lu Xiaofeng busy for half a day.

Ma Shuncai was the last to come over, Lu Xiaofeng glanced down at the book, and there was no Ma Shuncai's name on it.

"What about your IOU."

Lu Xiaofeng asked coldly, although he had only been here for a few days, he also had some understanding of Ma Shuncai's personality.

Although neither of them is rich, Ma Shuncai, as the eldest uncle, has never taken care of this niece, and always tries his best to see if he can squeeze the last drop of oil and water from Ma Yanli's house.

The people in the village usually embarrass Ma Yanli, and as the village chief, he never supports this niece.

"I... I gave you that list before!

Ma Shuncai said with some hesitation.

Hearing Ma Shuncai say this, Lu Xiaofeng took out the straw paper from his pocket.

"I just remembered when you said that, it seems that the instructor's pension is still in your hands!"
