" Why wouldn't I dare? I'll let you eat them all. You sent the wild boar I hunted to the kitchen. You handed over all the white flour I stole. I'll hide it next time," Hu Hao shouted loudly. He didn't want to eat sweet potatoes anyway.
" If you don't leave it for me, I'll go rob it tomorrow. I'll hide it after I get it," Hu Hao continued to threaten.
At this moment, Regiment Commander Zhang was in a difficult position. He knew that this kid was tired of eating sweet potatoes, but which soldier wasn't tired of eating sweet potatoes? Although he also wanted to leave a few packets for Hu Hao, he was the regiment commander and had to consider the entire regiment.
" Old Zhang, take a bag of white flour back and leave it for Hu Hao. The autumn grain will be here soon. There will be white flour then," the political commissar said when he saw Regiment Commander Zhang in a difficult position.
" That's right, Captain. Save a bag for Dumbo. He went to snatch it on purpose," a middle-aged man in military uniform said.
"Yes, I am. "Captain, leave one for him," many warriors beside him said.
"Old Zhang, Hu Hao has made a contribution this time. I've seen the firearms. They're all new 38 big covers. There are also bullets and 8 mortars with a lot of shells. These things alone were worth more than a hundred thousand dollars, and they might not even be able to buy them with money. Leave him a pack as a reward,"the political commissar said.
Regiment Commander Zhang heard the political commissar and the other soldiers say," Alright, leave one pack for him and take the rest to the warehouse."
At this moment, the soldiers began to carry the ammunition to the village.
Hu Hao was smoking and sulking.
After the soldiers had finished carrying the food, Commander Zhang carried a bag of white flour and said to Hu Hao, who was still sulking," Come back with me."
" Oh," Hu Hao replied. When he passed by the driver's seat, he climbed up and took out the Japanese's clothes and his own clothes. He then came down with a box.
"What's in the box?"
" Brother, it's smoke," Hu Hao said unhappily.
"Snatched it?"
"I bought it."
Regiment Commander Zhang heard him say that and was afraid that he would rob the people. So what if he bought it? It wouldn't cost much anyway.
" How much?" Regiment Commander Zhang walked in front, followed by Hu Hao, the political commissar, and a few people who looked like officials.
"Two oceans."
" You!" Commander Zhang suddenly turned around. She wanted to kick him, but she held back.
" Are you stupid? Two dollars could buy the flour you robbed, but you actually bought cigarettes?" Commander Zhang said angrily.
" I'm not used to smoking cigarettes," Hu Hao said.
Regiment Commander Zhang ignored him and turned around to continue walking back. Hu Hao followed obediently.
After returning to the room, Commander Zhang put down the noodles. The others also came in. Hu Hao obediently put the things on his bed and stood by the bed.
" What's wrong with your hand?" Commander Zhang saw that there was something wrong with Hu Hao's arm and asked," You're injured. Let me take a look."
" No, I'm not injured." Hu Hao rolled up his sleeves.
" Si!" Everyone was shocked when they saw Hu Hao's two arms. He was actually wearing a full set of watches.
Hu Hao proudly looked at his watch and said to Commander Zhang," Brother, it's 3:42 in the afternoon. Eight of my 14 watches have this time."
Commander Zhang and the others were stunned by Hu Hao's move.
" No, no, where did you get so many watches?" Commander Zhang came to his senses and asked.
" I stole it. I stole it from the Japanese after I killed them," Hu Hao said proudly. He took one from his hand and handed it to Commander Zhang." Brother, this is for you. It's a famous watch, Longines. It should be worth thousands of dollars. Brother, throw away your alarm clock."
"How much is it worth?”Commander Zhang took it and looked at it carefully.
"Yes, brother, I took this from a Japanese captain. It's very new. I've seen it before.
Hu Hao said,
" Brother, just wear it. Hehe, next time I go to the city, if I don't have money, I'll use these watches to exchange for it," Hu Hao said happily as he looked at his watches.
The people around them looked at Hu Hao and Regiment Commander Zhang with fierce eyes. They had never worn watches before. Moreover, there were not many people in the entire Eighth Route Army who had watches. Those Japanese were also smart. They would put them away during the war and not wear them. Therefore, they could not obtain it.
Commander Zhang looked at the gazes of the people around him and then looked at Hu Hao. Hu Hao didn't notice it and continued to look at his watch proudly.
" Dumbo, take off the watch and hand it over," Commander Zhang said.
"What? "No." When Hu Hao heard Commander Zhang's words, he quickly rolled down his sleeves and covered his watch.
"Why do you need so many watches? Don't worry. This time, I'll leave one with you and you can hand over the rest. Our army doesn't even have many watches, how can you take 13?”Commander Zhang advised.
" I took the 13 from the Japanese. If you have the ability, you can go and take it too." Hu Hao said with his head tilted.
"You don't want to hand it over, right?" Regiment Commander Zhang asked.
"No," Hu Hao continued stubbornly.
"Alright, political commissar, you carry the white flour back later. Also, send a few people to watch him and not let him leave the village. I'll feed him sweet potatoes every day.”Commander Zhang said to the political commissar,
" Brother, how could you do this?" Hu Hao shouted.
" What do you think? You're a member of the army, so all the loot must be returned to the public. How dare you keep it for yourself? You're wearing 13 watches. Fine, I'll put you in confinement today for a month and eat sweet potatoes every day," Commander Zhang threatened.
Hu Hao gulped. She asked in fear," Then, brother, if I hand it over, will I have white noodles to eat every day?”
" Basically, there is. The autumn grain is coming soon. With the ones that our troops grow, it's enough for us to eat white flour every day. If anything happens, I can't guarantee it," Commander Zhang continued to tempt.
"Then, then can I keep a piece?" Hu Hao asked softly.
" Hmm, I can reward you with one. Hand over the rest," Commander Zhang said.
Hu Hao quickly took off the watches and kept one of them. It was his favorite, a Rolex.
Commander Zhang took the watches and looked at the one on Hu Hao's hand. He asked," What brand is this? How much is it worth?" " Brother, hehe, it's a little more expensive than yours. It's probably worth tens of thousands of dollars. It's a Rolex." Hu Hao waved his hand.
Regiment Commander Zhang didn't say anything more. He couldn't possibly take that watch away, so he decided to leave something for Dumbo. He handed the watch to the political commissar and said," Take one of these 12 watches, and the rest will be given to the chief of staff and battalion commanders. Send the rest to the division headquarters, which doesn't have a good watch."
" Okay, I'll pick one. You guys pick one too," the political commissar said as he took the watch. He also knew the importance of a watch. The time of war had to be very accurate.
Hu Hao looked at the watches and was unhappy. He didn't say anything and continued to light his cigarette.
" Can you smoke less? Open your box and I'll take a few packs," Commander Zhang said when he saw Hu Hao.
"Brother, don't you smoke cigarettes?"
"I want to try it."
" Oh, okay." Hu Hao carried Commander Zhang on his back and took out four packs of cigarettes from the box and handed them to him.
"You brat!" Commander Zhang pointed at him speechlessly. It was like guarding against thieves.
