After Hu Hao helped the regiment headquarters catch a few nets of fish in the afternoon, he returned home. Regiment Commander Zhang had already prepared the food.
"Not bad, praise me! "Now, our soldiers will be able to have a good New Year." Commander Zhang came out of the kitchen with two bowls of dishes.
"Brother, give me a big dollar. Don't just praise me!”Hu Hao said unhappily,
When Commander Zhang heard this, he placed the dishes heavily on the table and said,"You bastard, you still want to go to the city, right?!" You said that you could go to the city to do some serious business, but go and take a look. What are you looking at? What's there to see about the Japanese? You've killed too few!”
"Then there's nothing to do if you stay at home every day!”Hu Hao said,
" Then go find something to do. Like this afternoon, get some fish for the soldiers. If you can't, go up the mountain and look for wild game," Commander Zhang said.
"I'm telling you, Dumbo, don't go to the city. Let me have a good New Year, okay? This year is the most sumptuous New Year I've had since I joined the army. If you mess things up for me, I'll break your legs.”Commander Zhang said,
"Also, we can't go provoke the Japanese now. Last time, when the Japanese came, there weren't many of our veterans left. The recruits haven't finished training yet. If you go and lure the Japanese over now, let me get those recruits to block the bullet holes!”
Hu Hao sat at the dining table and thought for a while before saying," Alright then, I won't go before the New Year. I'll go after the New Year!"”
"That's right. If you don't go after the New Year, the Japanese will probably come over. We've already threatened the Japanese's transportation line here. The Japanese won't let us off.”Commander Zhang said,
"Then you mean the Japanese will come and attack us after the new year!”Hu Hao said,
"Is there a need to say that? Our regiment is just a thorn in the throat of the Japanese. If it were you, you wouldn't have pulled it out!”Commander Zhang scooped the rice and handed it to Hu Hao, who took it and began to eat.
" Alright, I won't go," Hu Hao said.
If he didn't go to the city, Hu Hao could only stay in the courtyard. He didn't have any energy at all and lay on the brick bed every day. There were no novels to read, let alone television.
Today was the eve of the new year, so the regiment commander woke Hu Hao up early.
"It's the 30th of the year today. Come and help me out. I'm treating those officials to a meal today.”Commander Zhang said,
"What? Treat them to a meal? Didn't I send a lot of meat and fish to the regiment headquarters? "We're eating these ourselves," Hu Hao sat up when he heard that.
"Cut the crap. I've been fighting with them for so many years, but I've never treated them to a meal. It's the eve of the New Year, so we should have a good gathering. Sigh, there are already many people who want to have a meal together but don't have the chance!”Commander Zhang said,
"Alright then, I'll go take a walk on the mountain!”Hu Hao got up and put on his clothes. He took a few steamed buns from the table and went out. Regiment Commander Zhang couldn't be bothered with him and went into the kitchen.
Soon, the political commissar and the chief of staff came over.
"Old Zhang, where's Dumbo? Where did you go!" The political commissar did not see Hu Hao in the room, so he asked,
"He went up the mountain. What else do you expect him to do?”Commander Zhang said.
" You can't keep looking at Dumbo like that. I think Dumbo sounds pretty good. Every time he goes out, he can get us something to eat," the political commissar said.
" But then again, if I had a younger brother like Dumbo, I'd keep an eye on him too." The political commissar smiled.
"Yes, there are only the two of us left in our village. The entire village is gone. If he's gone, I won't have any relatives in this world. So, I don't expect him to be very capable. As long as he's alive, it's fine.”Commander Zhang said as he ate the vegetables in the wok.
"This was also the reason why you decided to carry him on the Long March back then, right? Sigh, I'd rather be a dog in peace than a man in troubled times!”the political commissar said.
" Haha, I don't dare to say anything else, but I'll kill whoever wants to kill him first," Commander Zhang said.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. He's not stupid anymore. He's just a little stunned. Just keep an eye on him. If it really doesn't work, don't let him be a soldier.”The political commissar said,
" He still has to be a soldier. In this chaotic world, being a soldier is the only way to save his life. Unless I die and can't protect him, he will stay in the military camp for as long as I am in the military camp. Anyway, with his current achievements, it's not too much for our army to support him for the rest of his life," Commander Zhang said.
Hu Hao wandered around the mountain for more than two hours before he managed to get a few wild rabbits. There was nothing else. The snow had sealed the mountain, and he could not even see a ghost. Hu Hao carried the wild rabbits back.
"Brother, are you done?" Hu Hao asked as soon as he entered.
"Soon. What did you get?" Regiment Commander Zhang asked," Just a few rabbits. Keep one and send the rest to the kitchen." Regiment Commander Zhang took a rabbit and said to Hu Hao,"
After Hu Hao heard this, he was too lazy to argue with him. He did not want to be whipped during the New Year.
On the road, he saw a Warrior.
"Hey, hey, it's you. Come here!" Hu Hao called out.
"What's the matter? The class monitor!" The soldier looked like a new recruit. He knew that Hu Hao was a legendary character, but he didn't dare to call him Dumbo, so he called him squad leader.
" What class monitor? Call me Brother Hao." Hu Hao said,
" Oh, Brother Hao, what's the matter?" the Warrior asked.
" Take this to the kitchen." Hu Hao stuffed the rabbit into the soldier's hand. With that, he turned around and returned to the courtyard.
"You sent it back?" Commander Zhang saw Hu Hao and came back to ask,
"No, I haven't. He gave it to a warrior and asked him to send it over!”Hu Hao said,
" You little brat, no one can be more cunning than you," Commander Zhang said.
"Hehe, this is one of my few strengths, and I've already discovered it!”Hu Hao said cheekily.
" Alright, you can stay here. When someone comes over, you can entertain them. The political commissar, Chief of Staff, and I will prepare food inside," Commander Zhang said.
" Alright," Hu Hao replied.
"By the way, take out your popcorn and the peanuts I fried. I'll entertain them later!”Commander Zhang said,
"Ah!" Hu Hao was unhappy.
"What ah! Hurry up and go, you're already an adult and you're still so protective of your food!”Commander Zhang said. "It's as if the army lacks food for you!”
"Brother, the army didn't give me any less food, but they stole a lot of my food!”Hu Hao said unhappily.
"Can you not be so poor!" Commander Zhang said.
" Why can't you tell me the truth?" Hu Hao muttered as he went into the house to take out the food. He placed it on the table.
Soon, a few people came in.
"Dumbo, why are you sitting here so obediently? " Where's the regiment commander?" the second battalion commander asked. The second battalion commander was familiar with Hu Hao. When they fought the Japanese, the second battalion commander had helped Hu Hao a lot.
" I'm preparing a feast for you inside," Hu Hao said.
"Oh, then let's enjoy ourselves for a while today. By the way, Dumbo, your way of entertaining guests isn't right. I know you went to the city a few days ago to buy a lot of cigarettes.”The second battalion commander said,
"Isn't there food here? You guys are all cigarette puffs and can't get used to that, so don't waste it!”Hu Hao pointed at the peanuts and popcorn on the table and said,
