"Cui Xiumei, speak quickly, do you want to draw a line with your father!" Cui Xiumei walked on the street with empty eyes, repeating this sentence in her ear.

She especially wanted to forget everything that had just happened, but the hideous face of her "comrade-in-arms" kept replaying in her mind, and when it all happened to her, it turned out to be so terrifying.

Cui Xiumei's father, Cui Lie, was a college student at Yenching University, defected to Yan'an after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and then served as a political cadre, transferred to the north and south of the river, and served in the General Staff after liberation, and was awarded the rank of major general in five or five years.

Cui Xiumei and her brother have always been proud of having such a general's father, and the status of the general's children has also made their brother and sister naturally become the leaders of the revolution.

However, the bad news unexpectedly destroyed this wonderful family, and their general father committed suicide!

Cui Lie is a real revolutionary, an idealist, and he is increasingly unable to understand the current revolutionary situation, but out of the caution of a political cadre, he has endured it.

This time, he didn't hold back. At the meeting to criticize the old leaders, he felt deeply sad when he watched his comrades-in-arms, who had been able to block each other's bullets in the war, go up one by one to expose the so-called crimes, and even searched for materials to prove the anti-party behavior of the old leaders.

When it was his turn to speak, he threw his glass on the spot, and the usually mild-mannered man unexpectedly became angry at the conference, and everyone in the audience was shocked by his actions, and there was silence at the time.

Cui Lie took off his military uniform, took off his hat, placed it neatly on the table, and turned to leave without saying a word.

Before the rebels could come to arrest him, he had already committed suicide with a gun, leaving his wife to watch him quietly.

Cui Xiumei and her brother were then quickly expelled from the revolutionary organization, placed in the group of gangster children, and forced to dissociate themselves from their father. She doesn't quite remember what she said at the time, she just thinks it's been a long time.

She had also participated in such criticism meetings before, and at that time, as a critic, she only felt an extreme sense of justice and superiority, and never cared about the despair and numbness of the critics.

By the time she got home, the house had been smashed and in shambles, her mother had been kicked out of the door, her brother was missing, and the door had just been sealed.

The mother and daughter were herded into a small warehouse of only six square meters, with only a broken door, no windows, no toilets, only a broken table and a lame chair.

"Mom, why?"

Her mother put down the small package in her hand, found a rag and began to wipe the dust on the table, and said softly: "Xiumei, don't blame Dad, he just chose dignity and freedom." ”

When Zhong Yuemin heard the news from Zheng Tong, two or three months had passed, and at this time they couldn't find Cui Xiumei anyway, and the former deputy leader of the Mao Group has been absent since then.

Zhou Changli has had a better time recently, because of the previous glorious battle, the stubborn lords near Xinjiekou all recognize his name, and a large group of little brothers are also willing to follow him, he is no longer the nameless junior who was bullied before.

Due to Zhong Yuemin's dormancy and Li Kuiyong's low profile, Zhou Changli, as one of the eight King Kongs of the Mao group, quickly became a banner among the children of the common people, and everyone was willing to listen to him.

He also listened to Li Kuiyong's persuasion, and he was not as brave and ruthless as in the original book, stabbing people everywhere with no fate, and only occasionally helping people to do things.

On this day, Zhou Changli took his two little brothers to wander around Zhongshan Park, they had a lot of time to waste every day, and they also needed to help the family with work before, since the school was closed, they have become social people, and there are many "Buddhas" who have volunteered to give them asylum.

Zhou Changli They walked around the park for less than ten minutes, and the "Buddha" monkey San'er came to ask for peace in this area.

"Master Zhou, do you have time to come to me today?"

"I'm bored at home, come and see, is there anything new?"

"It's still early today, and it hasn't opened yet. But I just saw the two girls coming, wearing military uniforms, with bulging pockets, I guess there are good goods. ”

"Then don't hurry up!" a younger brother next to Zhou Changli drank.

Monkey San'er didn't dare to offend these people, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, look at me." ”

Zhou Changli and the three of them found a commanding height and observed the movements of the monkey San'er.

The two girls were wearing grass-green military uniforms and armed belts, which was the standard dress for young people at this time, and they had no armbands on their arms, so they really couldn't see their identities.

I saw Monkey San'er quickly approaching the two of them, wiping their clothes and quickly walking over, the two girls didn't notice anything, and were still discussing something with great interest.

"Master Zhou, you have a look. Monkey San'er soon came back and handed Zhou Changli a pink bag.

"I'm Cao, how did you get it, I just kept staring at it, and I didn't see you stretching out your hand. A younger brother was surprised.

"You're smiling, carving insect skills, just pointing at this bastard. "Monkey San'er lowered his posture very low.

"Okay, it's useless to tell you about the ancestral craftsmanship. Zhou Changli didn't embarrass Monkey San'er and let him go.

Zhou Changli opened the small bag, there was nothing valuable in it, just some foreign commemorative coins, and a photo, it should be a family of three, the girl in the photo smiled very sweetly, Zhou Changli looked at it for a while, and then put it in his pocket.

A few people wandered around for a while, and they felt that it was not interesting to leave the park, and halfway through, Zhou Changli said that he had asked others to let the two little brothers go first.

Zhou Changli didn't know what he was thinking, God is ghostly He returned to Zhongshan Park again, wandering in the place where the two girls appeared just now.

Sure enough, the two girls reappeared, looking everywhere on the ground, probably looking for something.

"Are you looking for this little bag?"

"Yes, yes, why are you here?" said one of the girls in surprise.

Zhou Changli took a closer look, this was not the person in the photo, this one was too heroic, so he looked at another girl.

I saw that the other girl was also surprised, took the small bag, opened it to view, took out the photo and put it in her heart, and let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing, why are you stupid there! I haven't seen a girl!"

"Oh, I just look familiar to you, did we know each other before?" Zhou Changli was not used to talking to girls like this, and his words were a bit blunt.

The handsome-looking girl smiled: "We've heard such old-fashioned words four or five times today, how can you boys learn this way." ”

"Hey, they're all hooligans, you have to be careful, but I really think you're kind. This bag belongs to this girl, right?"

"Yes, it's ours. We were all going home, but we found that we had lost something on the way, and Suda was so anxious that we found it all the way back, but fortunately we were picked up by you. ”

"I picked it up and saw a picture inside, and I thought to myself that whoever lost something must be in a hurry, so I waited here, and the thing was returned to its original owner. ”

"Thank you... Thanks..." The girl named Suda had a little difficulty in speaking, but her expression was very sincere.

Zhou Changli originally wanted to find an excuse to have a meal with the two girls or something, but when Su Da thanked him like this, he suddenly didn't know what to say, he touched the back of his head with his hand, where was it.

Seeing him like that, Suda laughed out loud.

Zhou Changli immediately understood the beauty of the idiom "smiling like Yan", and at this moment he only felt that the heavens and the earth were brighter.

When he came back to his senses, the two girls had already left, and Zhou Changli was annoyed for a long time, only knowing a name, and he didn't have time to ask the address, and he didn't know when he would meet him next time.
