Chapter 82

When it was dark, Han Mingxiu went to Uncle Zhou's house quietly by the light of night.

She was going to deliver firewood. She planned to go tomorrow, but later she thought that uncle Zhou had no firewood at all. Even if she gave them food, they could not cook without firewood.

Uncle Zhou was seriously injured. Aunt Zhou had to stay by his side to care for him. She had no time to go out to pick up firewood. If she went tomorrow, they would have to be hungry for another day and frozen for another night.

Although it's not December now, it's still very cold. There is no firewood burning house. It's a kind of torture to stay one minute and one second longer. Uncle Zhou has been so badly injured that if he starves one more day and freezes one more night, something unexpected may happen.

Just in case, she'd better send the firewood to them first.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the Zhou family, it was as cold and dark as he expected. Not only did he not have firewood for cooking and heating, but he did not even have candles and oil lamps for lighting.

When Aunt Zhou saw that Han Mingxiu was coming today, she brought them a basket of wood and half silk bags of coal. She grabbed Han Mingxiu's hand excitedly and said thanks to her.

Han Mingxiu pretended to take out a few candles from the bottom of the basket and said, "as soon as I think you don't have any oil lamps, I'll bring you some candles. You can keep them lit up, right?"

"No, it's good for us to have enough to eat and not to be frozen. What else is the light?"

Aunt Zhou holds Han Mingxiu's hand and refuses to accept her candle.

She felt that she owed too much to others, and she was embarrassed to ask for more.

"You take it, or if my uncle Zhou has something wrong in the evening, it's not convenient for you to feel the dark..." Han Mingxiu insists on putting the candle into her hand.

"But... Candles are not cheap, we really can't ask for your things, we really don't have anything to return to you..." aunt Zhou muttered.

"Auntie, the most important thing you should consider now is how to take care of Uncle Zhou's injury. Don't worry about the rest..." Han Mingxiu insisted on putting the candle into her hand.

Two people push to yield to, in the dark, suddenly spread out the voice of a jar of sound.

"Why do you want to... Help us?"

"Ah, Lao Zhou, are you awake?"

When Aunt Zhou heard that the people on the Kang woke up, she couldn't care to pull with Han Mingxiu. She walked to the edge of the Kang and asked, "how do you feel? Does the wound still hurt? Did you pee? "

The man on the Kang said in a dull voice, "I'm ok. Help me sit up."

His so-called sitting up is not sitting on the Kang like a normal person. It's just adding two pillows under his back to keep his body tilted. Compared with lying down just now, it's just a slight change of posture.

After helping him sit down, aunt Zhou had time to introduce him.

"Lao Zhou, this is Comrade Xiao Han that Lao Gao introduced to us. Xiao Han, this is my wife Lao Zhou."

"Hello, uncle Zhou!"

Han Mingxiu can't see Zhou Xilong's face clearly, but just looking at the shadowy figure, he can feel his downfall and sadness. Seeing that the former fighting hero was so downcast, Han Mingxiu was very sad, so he gave him a respectful greeting.

Zhou Xilong said that he heard her greeting, and then asked seriously, "you haven't answered me yet. Why do you want to help us?"

Aunt Zhou listened to her man's serious tone and was afraid that Han Mingxiu would be angry. She quickly and carefully poked him and whispered, "what are you talking about? They are kind-hearted to help us. Why do you ask them? It's like you don't trust people. "

"It's all right, aunt Zhou. It's right for uncle Zhou to be more vigilant in a special period." Han Mingxiu was afraid that Aunt Zhou would feel sorry for her, so he comforted her.

After that, he sincerely said to Zhou Xilong, "Uncle Zhou, I help you because I think you are a good person. You have made contributions to the peace of the motherland and shed blood and sweat for the cause of people's liberation. People like you should be respected and loved by the people. Now that you have been treated unfairly, I can't help you, so I have to do my best, I have no other meaning or purpose. I just want to show my respect to the revolutionary predecessors. Please rest assured. "

These words are from the heart of Han Mingxiu, she said very sincerely.

Really, even if he doesn't want to be rewarded in the future, with Zhou Xilong's previous contributions to the country and the people, Han Mingxiu is willing to supplement him free of charge.

Zhou Xilong was very moved to hear Han Mingxiu's recognition and recognition of him. He looked at the silhouette of the young girl in the dark and said, "no matter whether we are wronged or not, at present we are sinners. Girl, you are not afraid to be implicated by us when you contact with people like us and help people like us?"

"Not afraid!" Han Mingxiu said, "I will be careful with you, will not let others seize the handle."

She said it with a strong voice

There is a cover on her back basket. If someone doubts that she will come to question her, she will send the things in the back basket to the space. At that time, she will be a country girl with an empty bamboo basket. Who can do with her?

There is a magic weapon of space cheater. Of course, she doesn't have to be afraid of anything.

Then, there was silence. Half a day later, Zhou Xilong's bleak voice sounded again, "even you little girls believe me, but... The organization doesn't believe me... I've been fighting in the gunfire for so many years, and I almost went to see Marx many times, but in the end... In the end, I became anti-G life, ha ha ha..."

He began to smile bitterly, with the vicissitudes and loss of thousands of sails in his laughter.

Han Mingxiu knew that he was suffering, and that he was aggrieved and depressed, so he advised and explained, "Uncle Zhou, don't be sad. It won't always be like this. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Your contribution to the country and the people will eventually be recognized by the people!"

"Well, that's a good sentence. I love it!"

When Zhou Xilong heard Han Mingxiu's words, his heart suddenly brightened a lot.

In the past few years, he has heard all kinds of words that humiliate and scold him. He has seldom heard Han Mingxiu's words that comfort and persuade him.

That is to say, he has a big heart. If he falls into the dust from such a high position, he will always be humiliated, beaten, scolded and polished by those nameless rats. He will die long ago

"You are right. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. I must live well and live to the day when justice comes!"

Zhou Xilong shook his arm, as if to cheer himself up.

Han Mingxiu said with a smile, "uncle, it's right for you to think so. I bet that day won't be too far away. You two should take good care of yourself and be ready for a new life. Otherwise, if you break your body, what's the significance of ushering in a new life?"

"Well, we'll take care of ourselves. Thank you, Comrade Han." Zhou Xilong moved said.
