Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 23
The next day, Xu Bao felt that his fart was very painful, and wondered if he shouldn’t buy a tractor. For the sake of eating meat, it wasn’t worth it to pay so much, but as he sat on the soft chair, he could still feel the pain of his fart. Even though he had been beaten up, he still hadn’t eaten meat.
Wu Anguo knew that only a little girl wouldn’t have the ability to take away that much money. Moreover, what was “garbage”? Buying an ox would cost at most 50 yuan and at most 5000 yuan would allow one to buy 100 heads. He actually spent so much money to buy trash for the cow. What a load of nonsense!
He arrived at the team section with a dark face. He disliked everyone and for the first time, he put on a leader’s face and pointed at the financial statements, asking what was going on.
It was the most advanced machine gun in the country, fully automatic, it didn’t need to be shot in exchange for a bullet, it could be fired quickly and continuously, placed there, sitting there, the opposing team would all come here to die, the Sixth Regiment didn’t have such advanced weapons before, Li Zilong didn’t like anything else, he was a rough man, he loved these things, from the time he received the machine gun until today, he couldn’t even let go of his meal time, seeing the black face of the captain pointing at the bill, his face filled with innocence, not caring about him, he continued to feel the gun.
Zhang Shiqing was a meticulous man, and naturally would not do such a thing. He did not say a word, but looked at Song Yi Han instead. From the very beginning, he didn’t like Song Yihan. He felt that this young man was too idealistic. To say that he was nice was a patriotism, but to say that he was unpleasant was to say that he was naive and wrong.
He coughed and said, “It’s me. I’ve considered the fact that Crooked Yang County is very backward in terms of farming, so if we can introduce advanced machines from abroad, it will definitely lead to the development of Shanxi’s agricultural economy!”
Looking at Song Yihan’s hopeful expression towards the future, Zhang Shiqing was speechless. He felt that Song Yihan was even more foolish than his sister-in-law, not as straightforward as she said that he wanted to eat beef in exchange for a tractor, which would drive the agricultural economy. This land might even be taken over in a year.
However, Zhang Shiqing did not say any of these things. He knew that his leader trusted Song Yi Han more, and in some ways, his heart was just too weak to accomplish great things. However, it was also soft-heartedness that made Zhang Shiqing willing to follow him.
Wu Anguo looked at Song Yi Han’s expression and, as Zhang Shiqing expected, he did not criticize him. Wu Anguo sighed, “Yihan, I’m to blame for this too, always letting Little Treasure make trouble, you don’t have to give her so many excuses. This time, let’s forget about it. If you want to buy that tractor, then buy it. There won’t be a next time.”
Song Yihan smiled and nodded.
Zhang Shiqing still did not say anything. Things were going as he had expected, so he might as well not talk about it anymore. He could not change anything, and that would only increase the hatred between people.
When the telegram was sent to Shanghai, Song Yihan was indeed a very powerful person. His friend immediately went to Shanghai to rent some money and find the American, James, who was in charge of the tractors. He was a typical American, blond, half-bald, tall, and had been sent on a business trip to China, which was said to be a beautiful country where one could live in the best building, eat the best meat, and drink the best red wine, but if he did not integrate into the country, his results would be nothing, his leaders were already dissatisfied with his inaction in China, and if he went on like this, he might be transferred back by the end of the year, and if the Great Depression had just passed in the United States, he might even be faced with unemployment, and the thought of this James had lost interest in drinking.
Finally, someone came to contact him and said that a warlord in Shanxi had set his sights on his tractor and wanted to buy a few. However, he didn’t reveal the details, but there were no less than five of them.
The Chinese did not understand the use of this tractor at all, and treated it like a monster. They did not expect that there would be someone who knew how to do things in Shanxi Province, and by the way, the predecessor said that China was a magical country with many miracles, and he must have met a miracle, so James decided to go to Shanxi himself.
It wasn’t just the tractor. If that customer wanted to buy a tractor, he would have the money to buy more.
And the people who bought the tractor at this time must be the most advanced and far-sighted people in China. They must have had a lot to gain from dealing with such people, so James took his translator and follower to Shanxi.
“Mistatron, what kind of city is Shanxi?” James asked his interpreter, Little Zhang.
Xiao Zhang was not from Shanxi, and based on his conscience, if James had not offered a high price, he would not have come here. These days, war was chaotic, and he said snappily: “Shanxi has two special characteristics, first, it is stingy, and second, it has many bandits, and they are bandits.”
“What do you mean by ‘old fogey’?” Is Eugenie Grandet like that? ” James could be considered to have made a connection with China. He had read the word “old fogey” clearly and understood everything in an instant.
Xiao Zhang kept nodding his head, “Die! “I’m going to choke to death!”
“What is that ‘bandit’ thing? The sea bandits are called pirates, but why aren’t the land bandits called bandits? ” James loved to study Chinese culture and always had to discuss it.
This made it difficult for Little Zhang. He could basically use his English, but he could not explain it in depth. As they passed by a canyon, two groups of men suddenly charged down from both sides. To James, this soldier’s clothes were tattered and his face was dirty. He looked like the ape-man himself.
“Who are they?” Is it a human ancestor? ” James is very excited, not forgetting to understand Chinese culture in times of crisis.
He was the first one to hide, but when the bandits saw that he was dishonest, they immediately pulled him out. There were foreigners here, and there was also a second ghost here, the foreigners could not understand, so they could just directly capture the second ghost.
Xiao Zhang struggled with all his might and was knocked unconscious by the bandits. Just as his head hit a rock on the roadside, he died from misfortune. Before he died, he loyally translated the last sentence, “These people are bandits.”
“Oh!” God, the bandits are terrible. They are poor and barbaric. ” James saw the dead Xiao Zhang and prayed for him for a minute.
Then in a minute the other followers were all under the control of the bandits, and James was afraid, unable to speak, caught again by these ‘bandits’.
Bandits did not dare to enter the county town. The town was filled with soldiers, and they were even more ruthless than bandits. Maybe they would be robbed before they could get anyone else. Thus, they ran towards the dense forest of five villages.
The more she didn’t have any beef to eat, the hungrier she became. When she heard her big brother Song say that there would be people coming from Shanghai soon, she couldn’t wait to go to the countryside and pick out which cow was fatter, so she wanted to catch them immediately when the time came.
According to her observation, the cattle ploughed by the owner of Li’s house in Wutai Village were very fat. They were big and sturdy as they stood on the ground. Xu Bao’s mind was already filled with the fragrance of roasted cattle. The oil was sizzling in the air! Because the farmers and landowners were very sensitive right now, they hated this big guy who was staring at their own town and drooling. So when he showed up, they quickly rushed him over, afraid to have a direct confrontation with him because there were fifty soldiers behind him.
Xu Bao had no choice but to make these soldiers learn how to hide. At the beginning, they were always discovered by the farmers, who chased after them with sticks and thought it was a thief. The entire five townships were in chaos. After a few more raids, the soldiers’ concealing techniques had become more and more mature.
In the woods, there were branches sticking out of the face. The hidden profession was unknown even when the farmers led the cattle to pass by. That silly cow would occasionally be stared at by Xu Bao who was in the grass, making an unsuitable noise, and then be whipped by the farmers.
Who told his husband to be unreasonable and hit her ass whenever he wanted? He had clearly said that he would buy anything he wanted, but in the end, he just bought her and beat her up, that was too unreasonable.
Every time Wu Anguo saw the little girl come back, he would feel helpless, covered in filth, and pouting. What a little girl, what was he going to do with her? Ye Ci didn’t pursue the matter any further. She had just slapped her a few times and held a grudge for so long. She was indeed still a child, but seeing that she was actually playing happily, she didn’t care.
“Wu Zhong, look at that rich and strong Li family. Is it good, or is it that the little flower in rich Zhang’s house is delicious? ” Xu Bao pointed to the two oxen not far away.
“Eh, Young Mistress, I don’t know if I’ve eaten before, but I think Little Flower should eat some. Little Flower’s meat looks a bit tender.” Wu Zhong, who was also wearing a straw hat, replied in a low voice.
Suddenly, there was a sound. Xu Bao clenched his fist and waved it around. With his hidden signal and experience of being beaten up by the peasants, Xu Bao had already come to a tacit understanding with his group of men. He even made a few hand gestures. Xu Bao clenched his fist, indicating that he was hiding it. Spreading out his palm to represent him in front of everyone, revealing two fingers to represent him beating someone up.
There were more than fifty people hidden in the grass. Xu Bao saw a group of bandits pass by on the mountain road. The enemies were truly enemies. Xu Bao still remembered how his old dad and mom went there. He felt annoyed when he saw bandits.
From the looks of it, there were only twenty people. But what was tricky was that they had guns in their hands, and Xu Bao’s men didn’t have guns. Since they were following Xu Bao to look after the cattle, Song Yihan didn’t trust them to carry guns, for fear of accidentally injuring them.
Thus, he could only deal with this in secret. Xu Bao, with his soldiers, saw that the time was right and extended his hand, revealing two fingers. One of them! In its shape, a bandit was silently dragged into the forest.
The bandits hadn’t noticed it yet, but James saw it. He was surprised, his blue eyes were wide open, just like that, as he watched the bandits around him gradually dwindle, his heart became more and more fearful. No wonder his predecessor said that China is a country full of miracles, what did he see? In this country he had seen the most mysterious army in China. They were cunning, secretive, tactful, efficient, and James believed that even the United States, no! In the entire world, it was hard to find a better team!
