70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 286
"Old party secretary, where do you want to put the patriotic ashes? I'll put them!" He Shulin didn't want his brother to see his wife's ugly appearance, so he said directly.

"Go, I'll take you in." Saying that, the old party secretary led He Shulin into the yard.

"Stop for me, who allowed you to go to my house? Quickly bring me the pension, otherwise, I won't be able to go in." Li Zhaodi opened her arms, blocked the door, and said sharply.

"Li Zhaodi, let me tell you, don't go too far." The old branch secretary said angrily.

"I'm too much, I'm too much, my man died because of the war, can't I still get the pension? No pension, what I eat and drink, what does his son eat and drink, do you still want to starve us to death No way." Li Zhaodi said unconvinced.

"Comrades from the People's Liberation Army didn't say they wouldn't give you the money. Why are you in a hurry? The most important thing now is to bury the patriot and get buried as soon as possible. Even if you have no feelings for the patriot, you can still be considered a husband and wife. , how could you do such a terrific job?" the old branch secretary said indignantly.

"I can't do it. I can't do it. He's so useless that he's not at home every day. It doesn't matter if he's not at home. The money he sent is not enough for me and his children, and he doesn't have the ability to go up. I went to join the army with my child. Does he know how sad I am in this hometown? Every day, I worry about being bullied by myself. Fortunately, I have a hot temper. Otherwise, my child and I would have been bullied to death. I thought he was very capable before, but who knew he was such a wimp, I really regret marrying him." Li Zhaodi yelled angrily.

"Who bullied you? You said that no one in the village dared to bully you. If you don't bully others, you will burn incense. Don't say that there are so many and nothing, get out of the way and let Aiguo go back to the house." The branch secretary didn't bother to talk to Li Zhaodi, a troublemaker, and said directly.

"No, I can't do it if I say no, do you think I'm just joking around? If you don't take money, no one can go in!" Li Zhaodi resolutely disagreed.

"Let me tell you, patriotism is a martyr of the country. If you dare to stop him from going to the grave, it will be against the law. I can ask the police to arrest you. Don't blame me for not looking at patriotism and dragging you away." Criticism." He Shulin was so angry that he directly threatened.

"How dare you! I'm a family member of a martyr." Li Zhaodi puffed out her chest and said unconvinced.

But she was also a little scared at this time, afraid that He Shulin would really drag her into criticism, after all, she didn't know that what He Shulin said was true or false.

"You can see if I dare or not! You still have the face to say that you are a family member of a martyr. Is there a family member of a martyr like you? Just after the husband passed away, he wanted to remarry, and he didn't even want to be buried. Let me tell you, this matter If it goes up, let alone the pension, you don't even want to get the martyrs' subsidy in the future."

After a few minutes of understanding, He Shulin already knew that Li Zhaodi loved money the most. If it wasn't for money, she might have remarried a long time ago, so he had no choice but to threaten Li Zhaodi with money.

"Hmph, I don't care. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, if you want to bury me, there is no way. I have no money." Li Zhaodi moved away and said reluctantly.

When He Shulin carried Li Aiguo's ashes and walked to the main room, he found that the room was extremely messy.

Dirty clothes are thrown everywhere, and there are unwashed bowls and chopsticks on the table. In summer, flies and mosquitoes are buzzing around, which makes people feel disgusted.

Seeing that there was no place to put Li Aiguo's ashes on the coffee table, the old branch secretary hurried forward and cleaned up the things on the coffee table to make an empty space.

"I'm telling you, don't mess with my things. If you break my pots, pans and spoons, you will pay me for it!" Li Zhaodi, who was following behind, said bluntly.

"I'll pay you compensation, let me tell you, Li Zhaodi, if you dare to make trouble again, don't stay in this village anymore." The old branch secretary said angrily.

"If I don't stay, I won't stay. You think I'm rare to stay in this village. As soon as I get the pension, I will remarry immediately. You beg me, but I won't stay here!" Li Zhaodi said triumphantly.

"Hmph, you remarried, I can't control you anymore, but don't forget, your parents, your elder brother, sister-in-law, younger siblings, and your whole family are still in the village, and I have plenty of ways to deal with them. If it's because of you , to make life difficult for your parents in the village. You see, if your parents don’t beat you to death, they won’t vent their anger on you when you are wronged in the neighboring villages. You can think about it. And If you want to receive subsidies from the families of the martyrs, you also have to go through our brigade." The old branch secretary said coldly.

"Okay, then I don't care, you can do whatever you want, anyway, don't want me to pay for the burial. And this little bastard, you can figure it out, anyway, I won't take him with me when I remarry It's an oil bottle." After Li Zhaodi finished speaking, she turned her buttocks and left without waiting for a few people to answer.

"Comrade People's Liberation Army, I really made you laugh." The old branch secretary said shyly.

"It's okay, but I didn't expect a patriotic daughter-in-law to be like this. He said just now that he doesn't want to raise a child, so what will happen to the child when she remarries? Where are his grandparents? Do you have any other relatives?" Because Li Aiguo never talked to He Shulin in the army, so He Shulin really didn't know about his family's situation.

"How can a child have any grandparents? His father is an orphan. He lost his parents when he was seven or eight years old. He grew up eating a hundred meals in the village. When he grows up, the villagers look at him It was hard for him alone, so he was recommended to serve as a soldier. After serving as a soldier for a few years, he also had some money in his hands, so he asked the elders in the village to Helping him to marry a daughter-in-law, this is Li Zhaodi. The person in charge of the village thought that Li Zhaodi was hot-tempered by nature, and Li Aiguo was not at home all year round. Li Zhaodi could take care of the house by herself and run the family affairs. Who knew that she would be a Such a realistic woman is still so restless. As soon as she received the news of her husband's sacrifice, she started looking for another family for herself. If I knew it earlier, I should have found a weak and weak daughter-in-law for Aiguo, and I would have saved so much restless." The old party secretary said regretfully.

"Then is she not very kind to the child? You see, the child is very thin. According to the patriotic marriage time, the child should be five years old, but looking at it now, it is not as good as someone else's three-year-old child." How big is it?" He Shulin said distressedly, looking at the child standing beside him with his head bowed.

"You remember right, isn't this child only five years old? In addition, Xu is six years old, but Li Zhaodi is selfish. She usually only cares about her own mouth and doesn't care about the child. Patriotic is not at home, what's wrong with her?" If things go well, we will vent our anger on the child. As outsiders, we can't do anything to her. We usually look at the child poorly, bring him some food, and give him a little money. Now she says she doesn't care about the child, and we don't care about the child anymore. I don't know what to do now, I can't let the child grow up like his father, wandering in the village and eating a lot of food! By the way, comrades in the PLA, do you have any arrangements in your army to solve the child's problem? .” The old branch secretary asked hopefully.

"I have never encountered such a situation. The main reason is that his mother is still alive. The children arranged by the army before are all parents who are not present. In that case, if someone is willing to adopt, he will be adopted. If no one is willing to adopt If not, they will be sent to the orphanage." After thinking about it, He Shulin said distressedly.

"Comrade People's Liberation Army, please help to think of a way. People in this village are not rich enough to raise such a child. It's okay for a day or two. No one can bear it after a long time. And Li Zhaodi offended almost everyone in the village. It's all over, even if the child is innocent, the villagers will still dislike the child to some extent, we can't let the child grow up with supercilious eyes, right?" the old party secretary said pleadingly.

"Let's talk about patriotism for now. Let's talk about the child's matter after patriotism is buried. I'll figure out a way." He Shulin said with a frown.

"Okay, then do as you said, let's find an auspicious day to bury Patriotic." The old branch secretary said straightforwardly when he saw that someone had accepted the child.

"You can watch the child here, just take a break, I'll go back and look at the almanac, and choose a time to bury Patriotic." After the old branch secretary finished speaking, he went back with his cigarette pipe and pot.

Although He Shulin already had three children, he was still a little at a loss when he saw the scrawny, timid and silent child in front of him, for fear that speaking loudly would frighten him.

"Your name is Heping, right? Are you hungry?" He Shulin settled down, looking for something to say.

It's a pity that the child didn't even move after hearing his words. He still stood there with his head bowed and didn't speak. If He Shulin hadn't heard him speak at the beginning, he might have thought the child was dumb.

Seeing such a scene, He Shulin took out the biscuits from the package and handed them to the child.

He Shulin originally thought that children love to eat snacks, and when they saw the biscuits, they would definitely step up to take them and eat them immediately, but the child just glanced at them indifferently, and still did not move, as if He Shulin was holding a biscuit in his hand. Not a delicious cookie, but a rock.

He Shulin only saw the ones his own children robbed, but he hadn't seen them. He didn't eat the snacks when he saw them, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

In the end, He Shulin had no choice but to take out a piece of biscuit, forcefully stuffed it into his hand, then looked at him encouragingly, and let him eat it.

"Little bastard, there is something delicious, but you dare not call me your old lady, and eat alone here, isn't your skin itchy!"
