Chapter 206 The Great Hero of Jiapigou
The militia company killed many remaining Japanese soldiers, and the news spread throughout the village.
What was most shocking was that the hunting team brought back two large tigers and a tiger cub.
Not only Jiapigou, but even villagers from nearby Shanghewan Village, Dongping Village, and Xishilazi Village came to see the tiger.
A suona band arrived with their instruments, saying they wanted to celebrate.
The streets were filled with the sounds of drums and music, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Just then, Zuo Shouquan's car drove into the village.
As soon as Lu Yao got out of the car, the commune members on the street immediately surrounded him.
Actually, you don't even need to wait until you get off the bus to know that Lu Yao is back.
Besides Lu Yao, who else in Jiapigou is qualified to come back in a jeep?
As soon as Lu Yao came down, he was surrounded by the villagers.
Suddenly, someone started pulling and dragging those people:
"Make way, everyone! What are you doing? Don't crowd Company Commander Lu!"
Lu Yao looked up and realized that the person who cared about him was actually Yang Shouye, the commune director.
After fighting his way through numerous obstacles, he finally arrived in front of Lu Yao.
Grasping Lu Yao's hands tightly, she said with immense excitement:
"Company Commander Lu, you are the hero of Jiapigou, no, no, you are the hero of Shuiling Commune, and even the entire Jiangzhou! You are the pride of the people of Jiangzhou!"
Lu Yao was truly impressed by this opportunistic guy; he could actually speak with tears in his eyes!
Yang Shouye turned around and received a red flower the size of a washbasin from Wang Haiyan, the dark-skinned girl following behind him.
He personally put the collar around Lu Yao's neck.
Hanging around the neck.
Then he turned around and raised his arms to shout to the members:
"We should learn from Comrade Lu Yao!"
Everyone chanted together, "We will learn from Comrade Lu Yao!"
Yang Shouye: "Comrade Lu Yao is the pride of Jiangzhou!"
The crowd echoed, "Comrade Lu Yao is the pride of Jiangzhou!"
Yang Shouye: "Let us pay tribute to the heroes..."
After he finished shouting, not many people followed suit.
When I turned around, Lu Yao had already walked away.
Everyone followed Lu Yao.
Yang Shouye was very unhappy.
Damn it, I'm the highest-ranking official here! I've given you such a high honor, and you don't even acknowledge me?
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Lu Yao's status is now too high in the eyes of ordinary people.
This kid is young, but when he gets older he might collude with the higher-ups to take my position, just like he asked me to help him take down Ding Dahu!
Although he was dissatisfied, Yang Shouye dared not show it.
Lu Yao's situation shocked him so much that it even frightened him.
This kid not only fights tigers, but he also dares to kill people.
According to the returning militiamen, Lu Yao killed many people in the Dahuan Mountain area, one shot for each person.
Fortunately, I didn't confront him directly.
Otherwise, if I anger this kid and he really kills me, who will I complain to?
Looking around, all that was left were the little black girl and the brigade accountant.
Raising their hands and arms, they shouted: "Learn from Comrade Lu Yao!"
Only the little black girl and the accountant supported him, shouting along with him.
Everyone else followed Lu Yao to the tiger meat area.
The two large tigers were brought back last night, and the meat has almost been divided up.
It was still Uncle Ba who held the knife.
Now, Uncle Ba's status among the villagers has risen dramatically.
Uncle Ba is still the same Uncle Ba, but everyone knows that he is good to Lu Yao, and Lu Yao is good to him too.
Many people regret not helping Lu Yao when he was young, or when his father had just died.
If they had treated Lu Yao better back then, their status in the village would definitely have risen by now.
When Uncle Ba saw Lu Yao coming over, he quickly said:
"Country bumpkin..."
I only managed to say three words before Aunt Ba punched me:
"Why use a nickname? People are all grown up now. Use their job titles."
"His full name is Lu Yao, not his title, right?"
Uncle Ba was completely baffled.
Yang Shouye came over again: "You're so understanding, sister-in-law! Yes, we should all have reverence for heroes. From now on, when you call Comrade Lu 'Company Commander Lu,' you should call him 'County Commander Lu,' not 'country bumpkin,' that sounds awful!"
Lu Yao cursed inwardly.
Damn it, I've been calling you by your nickname for over ten years, what's so bad about it!
However, in public, one should still give Yang Shouye, who is always fawning over him, some face.
Otherwise, people will think I've gotten arrogant.
Lu Yao smiled slightly and said to everyone:
"It doesn't matter what you call me. I'm still a country bumpkin."
Everyone gave it a thumbs up and praised it.
Look at Company Commander Lu, he has achieved so much, yet he remains so humble!
Lu Yao asked the other militiamen if they had gone to visit the families of the fallen militiamen.
Everyone says that Zhang Zongshan and Zhang Yuanchao have gone there.
Lu Yao then looked at Yang Shouye:
"I don't need anything from you. Just go back and show more concern for the families of the fallen militia members. Give them something tangible, instead of just paying lip service."
"Yes, definitely!"
He then said to the people around him, "Look at the awareness of Company Commander Lu! He's always thinking of others. You should all learn from Company Commander Lu!"
Lu Yao felt a little disgusted by the photos he took.
"Alright, everyone, let's continue."
As he spoke, he picked a big red flower and gave it to a militiaman standing nearby.
Calling out to Zuo Shouquan:
"Brother Zuo, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Zuo Shouquan shook his head: "I'm not going. This is the bureau's car, and they might ask me for it. I'll just take it back first."
Zuo Shouquan is gone.
Lu Yao said to Yang Shouye, "You organize things here, I'm going back, I'm tired!"
Yang Shouye slapped his forehead:
"Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that! Company Commander Lu is tired, everyone move aside and let him go home and rest!"
As he spoke, he put one hand on Lu Yao's arm and used the other to clear a path, leading Lu Yao out of the crowd.
The commune members saw this and couldn't help but think to themselves.
Lu Yao is awesome!
Only he could have turned Yang Shouye into this.
When Ding Dahu was the brigade leader, he was extremely obsequious to Yang Shouye.
He didn't dare utter a sound even when Yang Shouye scolded him.
In front of the director, I act like a complete nobody.
Look at Lu Yao again, he looks like the director's grandfather!
Lu Yao left the bustling crowd and went straight home.
From a distance, I saw a little girl in a brand-new cotton-padded jacket sliding on a sled by the door.
There is a moat opposite the entrance.
It's a drain for dumping dirty water.
There's a smooth ice surface there, several meters long.
The little girl started her run-up from quite a distance.
Once on the ice, it suddenly stopped and began to glide.
"Slurp"
Slide from here to there.
Enjoy the exhilarating feeling of flying.
Lu Yao often played this game when he was a child; it was a great source of fun for children in the Northeast countryside back then.
When the little girl came back and played a second time, she saw Lu Yao.
She suddenly looked a little shy.
I was too scared to skate anymore, so I walked over:
"Brother Wai, you're back!"
Lu Yao recognized her; it was actually Zuo Xiaoying, the granddaughter of their neighbor, Grandpa Zuo.
This winter, I finally had the chance to go out and have fun.
"Your new cotton-padded coat is finished? Sakura, you look so pretty!"
Zuo Xiaoying was a little embarrassed by Lu Yao's direct praise.
She said coyly, "I'm not pretty. Xiaoqian is pretty, and Sister Mei is pretty."
Lu Yao laughed heartily: "You're all beautiful in your own way; you're the four beauties of our village!"
"The Four Beauties, who else is there?"
Zuo Xiaoying stared with her bright, intelligent eyes and asked curiously.
