Chapter 11: The Glorious History of a Small Mountain Village

The image of the revolutionary youth made by Grandma Qin, as well as Grandma Qin's words and deeds just now, made Zhong Gui and Xin Xian immediately think of the image of thousands of young women in the old area during the revolutionary war years. Could it be that Grandma Jean was also a female warrior when she was young?

Zhong Gui tentatively asked Grandma Qin: "Do you still have feelings for our party?"

Hearing Zhong Gui's words of praise, Grandma Qin immediately became excited: "Then you still need to say?" Grandma Qin said and laughed, and wiped her tears excitedly.

Xin Xian hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, went to help Grandma Qin, and asked her to sit on the seat where she was originally sitting at the Eight Immortals table. Grandma Qin was also polite and sat down generously. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Xin Xian to take a bowl to scoop pumpkin soup for her, she slowly told a story about the past:

During the War of Liberation, our party regarded the large mountainous area where the small mountain village was located as a key area for carrying out armed struggle, and sent an armed detachment of more than 10 people to advance into the mountainous area to open up new guerrilla areas. At that time, this mountainous area was a new area without underground party organizations and mass bases. The advancing troops reached the small mountain village, but the people of the village did not know the details and did not dare to accept them or deal with them.

The members of the team are all newcomers from other places, who are not familiar with the surrounding areas of the small mountain village, and want to find a guide in the village. And the people in the village didn't know the details of the team, and no one was willing to help.

However, from the first day the team arrived in the small mountain village, there were hygienists who helped the elderly in the village to see a doctor and clean up, and young and strong young men who helped the women carry water. A house that had been destroyed by a flash flood was rebuilt and the road was rebuilt. The people in the village felt more and more that this team was full of good people.

At that time, Grandma Qin was still a young man in her twenties, and she had not been married to the Qin family for many years, and she was worried that a small team from the village would cause war, so she took her children to her mother's house at the foot of the mountain. When she was about to reach the county seat, she suddenly found that the enemy had gathered a large number of troops in the direction of the small mountain village.

Grandma Qin didn't have time to think about it, so she hurried back, which usually takes more than half an hour to travel, and it takes about ten minutes to finish. Returned to the village and reported to the detachment what he had seen. also let her husband be a guide and led the team to a more hidden place on the mountain.

Not long after the detachment left, more than 100 enemy men and horses rushed into the village. It's dangerous.

The enemy entered the village and searched from house to house. When they did not find the person they were looking for, they threatened to kill people if they did not tell the guerrillas what they were looking for. Grandma Jean volunteered to be the enemy's guide, deliberately taking the enemy to the opposite and more rugged places. The enemy had been busy for most of the day, and seeing that he had found nothing, he hurried back to the county seat before dark. In a fit of rage, he kicked Grandma Qin off the cliff......

When Grandma Qin said this, she rolled up her trouser legs, pointed to the red spots on her calf and said, "This is the scar left at that time, but fortunately, there were young people in the village who secretly followed the enemy at that time, and after the enemy left, they carried me back, and the scars are still there."

Kotone said, I've heard this story from my grandmother several times, and I can repeat it.

Xin Xian had already scooped a bowl of pumpkin soup and put it in front of Grandma Qin.

Zhong Gui told his secretary that the oral history of Grandma Qin should be recorded well, and this should not be missed in the future party history. As a new generation of leading cadres, we must let the people see that the Communist Party members who threw their heads and shed their blood for the sake of New China have returned.

Qin Yin thought silently, the leader is different, that is, better than my people, the story told by my grandmother, I thought it was just an ordinary story, it turned out that in the big leader, there is also an oral history statement, and it will still play a role in the future. Qin Yin couldn't help but admire Zhong Gui and Xin Xian in front of him even more.

Grandma Jean picked up the pumpkin soup, took a few sips, and said, it's not over yet. Then he continued:

This team has been active in this mountain for several years. In normal times, the people of the small team help the people in the village to cultivate and harvest. One year, when the rice was ripe, the enemy came to grab the grain. The people of the village were the opponents of the enemy, and when they heard that the enemy had fired two shots, they were so frightened that they hid in the mountains.

The people in the squad were different, they were not afraid of the enemy's outnumber, every two or three people in a group, shot at the enemy in all directions, the enemy was afraid and ran in the direction of the county town. When the villagers came back, they thanked the team and cooked pumpkin soup for them to drink.

The squad doesn't take a stitch from the masses, and the pumpkin is sold to them by the masses. Later, the conditions of the team were very difficult, they drank pumpkin soup, and they had to pay IOUs if they had no money. It's not easy.

The team has been in the mountains for several years, and the team has grown from more than 10 people to more than 100 people. In order to completely dispel the enemy's idea of going to the mountains to grab grain, the detachment also held a meeting in the village, and after the meeting, rushed to the county seat overnight to fight a battle. I heard that one of the enemy officials had been arrested at that time, but he had not killed him, so he asked him to bring a message back, saying that whoever came to the mountains to harass the people in the future would be punished. This trick was really clever, and later the enemy really didn't dare to go up the mountain to grab food.

After a year and a half of such days, I later heard that the southbound army was coming, and these more than 100 people, who were originally scattered in twos and threes, suddenly gathered directly and cooperated with the army to attack the county seat.

……

Grandma Jean finished speaking. Qin Yin went on to say that Grandma omitted the latter paragraph.

Xin Xian asked, which paragraph was saved?

Qinyin said that grandma had said before that after the liberation, the leaders of the county also made a special trip to send a commendation order. Commendation was given to the people of the small mountain village, who fed the detachment with their own rice during the revolutionary war years, and secretly treated and took in the wounded. Grandma was also commended as a model in front of the branch.

Grandma Qin waved her hand embarrassedly, and there was no need to mention these little things.

Zhong Gui picked up the pumpkin soup in the bowl and said with a sigh, this pumpkin soup leads the people to the older generation of Communist Party members and our generation of Communist Party members. The fine tradition and style of the revolutionary predecessors who worked for the common people to protect themselves from the wind and rain must be embodied in our generation of Communist Party members. In the past, it was a revolution, but now it is a turning point in engaging in construction and promoting the focus of work, but pumpkin soup is still pumpkin soup, and after drinking this bowl of pumpkin soup today, we must lead the people in the mountainous areas to solve the problem of food and clothing as soon as possible and become rich as soon as possible.

At Zhong Gui's suggestion, the sixteen people at the two tables stood up in unison, Zhong Gui, Xin Xian, Qin Yin, the commune leader, the production captain, as well as the secretary and the commune escort, picked up the bowl of pumpkin soup and drank it all.

Qinyin said, hehe, I also drank pumpkin soup, do you want to lead the people to solve the problem of food and clothing?

Zhong Gui replied, of course.

Xin Xian asked, Qinyin, are you a member of the Communist Party now?

Kotone shook her head.

Xin Xian encouraged, your small mountain village, you pianists all have glorious revolutionary traditions, you must not lag behind, in the future, you must strive to join the party, and strive to lead the masses in the village to become rich.

Qin Yin nodded.

Zhong Gui added that this girl is a good seedling.

Qinyin said that it is necessary to learn from the leaders.

As he spoke, the secretary walked up to Zhong Gui, raised his left hand, pointed to his watch, and walked away.

Everyone who eats also understands that this is the secretary reminding the leader that the time is almost up, and it is time for the next step.
