Passing by the sentry box at the door, Chen Kun said hello, and he came quite diligently, in fact, the doorman was still familiar with Chen Kun.

The compound of the military region is not a house or a house, and the compound is because of Wang Shuo, and the matter of "disciples of the big courtyard" has been taken out and fried, and they all follow the coaxing if they know whether they know it or not.

Actually, it's not that evil.

The "compound" is a unique phenomenon. Since the fifties, many military institutions and agencies have had compounds, not only BJ. To put it bluntly, it is to enclose a piece of land, build a fence and sentry, and in the yard, basically eat, live and go to work inside. That is, it is a small society of its own. There are military compounds and administrative compounds, and now when we talk about compounds, we mainly refer to military compounds.

Because they were misled by some inexplicable novels, film and television dramas in the compound, many people think that the children in the compound are the children of high-ranking cadres, the second generation of red, and the second generation of officials.

In fact, this statement is wrong, some people say that the people living in the compound are all major generals and above, which is simply a lack of common sense.

There are indeed high-ranking cadres in the compound, and they all live in the small courtyard inside the compound, with another layer of walls and guards.

Most of them live in the courtyard, and the soldier cadres in charge of security and logistics live in the barracks, and the cadres of other organs live in dormitory buildings according to their rank, age, and marital status.

The area is not the same, for example, Grandpa Chen Kun, who only had a very small dormitory before getting married, only moved to a slightly larger two-bedroom room after marrying Grandma Chen Kun, less than 60 square meters.

In Chen Kun's impression, the dormitory building in the compound, except for some units on the first floor, the second to fourth floors are all tube buildings. A long aisle lined up with six families.

There is an outpatient department, a playground, a garden, a grocery store, a nursery (for children under the age of three or four) in the courtyard, and the school is not in the courtyard, on the opposite side of the compound, which was later Bayi Middle School.

In general, the life of the compound is self-contained, but except for this advantage, it is actually no different from the outside, except that the courtyard is very clean and tidy, because there are soldiers to clean it, most of the time it is orderly and very quiet.

The big yard disciples are actually clearly divided into levels, of course, the main thing is the age group, a group of people get together, and they don't play with children of other ages.

The basic way out for the children in the big courtyard is to become soldiers, which is a bit more privileged than the children outside.

Therefore, the compound is not so evil as it is rumored. Inside are high-ranking officials, more middle- and lower-ranking officers, and their families. And most of the family members and children of these compounds have to go out every day to catch the car to work, worrying about work and buying a house, just like ordinary people. By the time Chen Kun's generation arrived, the people in the compound could no longer live there, and the walls had already been broken.

The Dayuan disciples are not fundamentally different from others, and if they want to say proud, they are only because their parents are soldiers.

If you really want to talk about it, Chen Kun is not a disciple of the big courtyard, his father is.

Chen Kun's grandmother lives on the first floor, and there is an orchid grass planted at the door, so there are no precious varieties, but Chen Kun's grandfather loves this, most of them are dug down in the surrounding mountains when his grandfather was in the past, and a few years later, there is a noun "downhill orchid" that refers to this, and it is definitely not worth much.

There is a triangular plum planted in the water tank in the corner of the wall, it grows very luxuriantly, it was planted by the grandfather back then, it is the flowering period at this time, climbing the shelf until it spreads to the edge of the house, the green leaves are mixed with lilac flowers, and the bloom is very beautiful.

It is said that there is actually a reason for planting this flower, grandma just got married, the health is not good, the menstrual affairs are always not allowed, grandpa asked someone to bring such a triangular plum plant in the yard, this flower actually has a very nice name called purple jasmine, the flower can be used in medicine, the main effect is actually to reconcile qi and blood, regulate menstruation and the like.

Every year when the flowers bloomed, grandpa used the flowers to soak grandma in brown sugar water.

As the saying goes, there is no 100-day red flower, this name is not suitable for purple jasmine, for this purple jasmine that blooms for 100 days, grandma naturally likes it very much, this flower wants to bloom well, pruning is the most important, now it is so lush, grandma pruning and taking care of the credit is indispensable.

When Chen Kun came, he happened to see his grandmother wearing a brown jacket with two sleeves, and holding scissors to prune flowers.

Chen Kun called sweetly: "Grandma." Quickly walked forward to the side and took the scissors from Grandma's hand.

"Tell me to come. ”

Grandma's surname is Zhao and her name is Fengxiu, and when she saw her grandson coming, she was also very happy, and took Chen Kun's hand and said, "Don't get it, let's go, go into the house." ”

Grandma is old, although grandma's hair is still meticulously combed, her back is still straight, and she looks younger than Chen Kun's later life, but Chen Kun still stubbornly feels that grandma is old.

When I took the scissors from my grandmother's hand, I told the story of the age spots on the back of my hand.

Looking at the triangular plum at the door, Chen Kun felt that time is often the most affectionate, and at the same time the most ruthless.

Grandma Zhang took off her sleeves, washed her hands in the kitchen first, and then took a big apple and washed it while asking Chen Kun, "Why does the little monkey have time to come to grandma today?"

Chen Kun turned out to be the apple handed over by his grandmother, and he felt that he was being asked how to study everywhere he went, which made Chen Kun, who was in his thirties, feel somewhat unaccustomed.

smiled and replied, "I miss my grandmother, so come and see, it's okay to study, I've been working hard lately." ”

Hearing that her grandson missed herself, Grandma Li's eyes narrowed with a smile and said happily: "My grandson is still the best, better than your father, what do you want to eat at noon?" Grandma will make it for you." ”

The mother commented on her son, but she was not good for her grandson, and then Chen Kun changed the topic and talked about some new things.

chatted and chatted about the old Tang's house next door.

The old Tang family must be referring to the Tang Ke family next door, the Tang family and Chen Kun's family are also world friends, the relationship between the two families was very good when the grandfather was there, and the elder brother of Old Man Tang was similar to the second brother of Grandpa Chen Kun, they were all gang figures in the old society, but the second brother of Grandpa Chen Kun passed away early.

Speaking of Grandpa Chen Kun's second brother, this Chen Lao Er was also a corner of Yuzhang City back then, and the flower name on the road was Dahuang.

has such a domineering flower name.,I want to know what kind of character it's like.。

The old society paid attention to the eight sedan chairs, I heard my grandmother say that when the second child of the Chen family passed away, it was carried across the river with the sedan chair of eight lifts, at that time there was no ancestral cemetery in the city, people passed away, the cemetery was generally on the other side of the river, the disciples who were present at that time were more than 100, and when they left, it was an excess of opium, but fortunately, they did not leave any heirs, which can be regarded as a beautiful funeral.

This Grandpa Tang's elder brother was a figure of the same generation as Grandpa Chen Kun's second grandfather back then, and he was still clean and self-conscious, and he also survived that period of war.

It's just that it was liberated later, and in the Cultural Revolution, the identity of the hooligan leader was corrected, and all kinds of criticism and fighting would take turns, but the old man couldn't stand it and jumped off the building to his death.

But this matter is not over, Grandpa Tang's family next door has also been affected, the dream of being an officer must have stopped, and the only son can't be a soldier if he wants to, and then he went to YN below, and he hasn't seen him back for so many years, and he doesn't even know life and death.

In the past, when Grandpa Tang was here, Chen Kun liked to go to Grandpa Tang's house to stay, and Grandpa Tang also liked Chen Kun very much, and liked to tell Chen Kun some stories about the war years.

Occasionally, I mentioned my son who didn't know where he was, but he cried bitterly.

At this time, Grandma Li said that the granddaughter of the old Tang family came back, Chen Kun was very surprised, Grandpa Tang's family was called Tang Jianguo or Tang Weiguo, Grandpa Tang mentioned that he had no son once, but Grandpa Tang passed away two years ago and did not see the family come forward, it was all run by the army, and his single room where he lived alone, the compound said several times that it would be taken back, and there was no one at home for a long time.

Of course, it was very surprising to hear that their family had a granddaughter.

Chen Kun's grandmother is soft-hearted, she probably remembered something, the corners of her eyes were a little red, she wiped the corners of her eyes with her handle, looked at the clock hanging on the wall and said, "It's a poor girl, she is two years older than you, I'm going to cook for you, you go next door and call your sister Tang to come over for dinner." ”

Saying that, he went to the kitchen, the kitchen was shared, and it was not in the house, and Chen Kun followed his grandmother out of the door.

Under the guidance of his grandmother, Chen Kun knocked on the door, and the moment he opened the door, the two people inside and outside the door were stunned, this girl Chen Kun had seen, it was actually the girl who was selling jade in the antique city two days ago, and Chen Kun also bought a pair of jade pendants.

The girl was also a little surprised when she looked at Chen Kun, she was still wearing the black dress that had been worn out and was a little whitish, but the inner shirt was changed, and the long braids hung down on her shoulders.

There was no one else in the room, and Chen Kun guessed at the beginning that it was impossible to return to his hometown, and when he saw the girl alone, he was inexplicably a little pitiful.

Chen Kun stretched out his hand, not mentioning that he had seen it in the antique city before, and said to the girl: "Meet the grandson of the old Chen family next door, Chen Kun." ”

The girl probably thought that Chen Kun's adulthood was a little funny, so she smiled and stretched out her hand and laughed: "Tang Yuan." ”

Chen Kun didn't hear it yet, but he found that Tang Yuan actually looked good when he smiled.

At that moment, Chen Kun smiled and said, "Don't let me go in and sit?"

Tang Yuan also laughed, let go of the porter, and said, "Please come in." ”

The room is not big, there is no decent furniture, there is a travel bag of colored striped cloth on the ground, all the things are neatly packed, and there is a posture of going out.

Chen Kun knew in his heart, and wanted to ask where the girl was going to go, but he just paid attention to his skills.

Chen Kun said immediately: "Tang Yuan came back from YN, right?"

Tang Yuan nodded: "Hmm." ”

Chen Kun continued: "Do you know how I know the waves? haha, what you tell me about jadeite is a very good material, but the carving is really poor, it is better not to carve, you carved it?"

Tang Yuan laughed at this time: "If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have done this, my father carved it by a comrade-in-arms, saying that it was for me to pay for the road on the road." There was some sadness on his face as he spoke.

Chen Kun noticed that Tang Yuan was talking about his father's comrade-in-arms, and he hadn't heard of Uncle Tang being a soldier.

Chen Kun said directly: "Uncle Tang didn't come back, where are you at YN? Can you tell me?"

Tang Yuan wiped her bangs with her hand, put a strand of hair behind her ear, and said after a while of silence: "Actually, when I came back, I told Grandma Li that a few years ago, the country called on intellectual youth to build the frontier of the motherland, and my father went to YN, do you know Ruili?" ”

Chen Kun smiled, Tengchong Ruili is on the border line, Chen Kun has been there more than ten years later, and it is Myanmar when he goes abroad, and the border has been a relatively chaotic place since ancient times.

Tang Yuan said to herself: "Because of the second grandfather's affairs, my father has always felt that he was from a bad background, and my father later met a girl from the local Jingpo tribe, that is, my mother, and settled down there." ”

Chen Kun somewhat understood, Uncle Tang couldn't come back because he wanted to, because the policy is like this, as long as the educated youth and the locals get married, the hukou can't be transferred back.

At that moment, Tang Yuan slowly narrated, and Chen Kun slowly understood.

According to Tang Yuan, Uncle Tang's wife should be said to be a big family in the local Jingpo village, with five or six brothers alone, in addition to planting a little mountain field and hunting, the most important livelihood is the horse gang. The caravan is a pack caravan, and there are mountains all over there. There are also no roads, and the goods in and out are transported by a bantam horse called the Dian horse, which has good endurance. He was good at walking mountain roads, so a few, a dozen, or dozens of horses got together and became a transport team, and those who did this kind of business were called horse gangs.

Tang Yuan's family caravan only has four or five horses, which is not very big, but their caravan is not to transport daily necessities. It's not about transporting precious salt, it's about smuggling.

Because their family's stockade is close to the border between China and Myanmar, locals often go deep into Myanmar. Use the cloth and salt here to exchange it for a very special commodity from there, Ya Pian.

To put it mildly, Chen Kun understands that Uncle Tang's wife's family should be drug dealers. However, the management of the border was chaotic in those days. The border people on both sides are basically the same ethnic group, which is called Jingpo on the Chinese side and Kachin on the Burmese side. Everyone looks the same, and they have been coming and going so casually for generations, and they are all ethnic minorities, so the government doesn't care much, and it can't manage it.

It stands to reason that in fact, he can live like this, but obviously Uncle Tang still wants to come back, and his own poor background is probably a thorn in his heart.

In those absurd years, there was a period of revolutionary export, and under the slogan of "democracy" if you don't export revolution, others will export it, countless educated youths shed their blood for the so-called revolution and for other countries, and countless young people were buried in the cold soil of a foreign country, leaving a pile of nameless barren graves facing the east.

As a matter of fact, when the educated youths went to the countryside, they were told that the so-called "Burmese anti-rebellion zone" was opposite, which was the base for the "Soviet revisionists" to prepare to attack us, and that there was also an area that was "Chiang's remnant bandit area," so we should be particularly vigilant.

Tang Yuan's father joined the so-called revolution after the war began, hoping that after the success of the revolution, he would be able to wash away the marks of his bad background and return to his hometown with her mother.

At that time, most of the people around my father wore big hats such as "Kuomintang military commander agent", "son of a bandit", "lackey of US imperialism", etc., and they had long been packed up with no way to study, no way to serve the country, and no way to survive.

Saying this, Tang Yuan's eyes gradually moistened, and she remembered her father's somewhat old face.

The Golden Triangle has been fighting for 15 years, and it is not a simple sentence to come back alive, his father is a survivor of the "export revolution" in the absurd years.

Yet thousands of educated youths have been buried in the icy soil of Myanmar, leaving behind a pile of nameless mounds facing east.

On the second day of joining the revolution, my father put on a green military uniform, picked up a heavy M21 semi-automatic rifle, and wrote "revolutionary cadre" in the column of family background, completely bidding farewell to his depressed past.

There was not a single Burmese in the recruit corps, and it was completely from the world of educated youth, and everyone reported the name of the school to each other, and his father learned that the Communist Party of Burma not only had a "Educated Youth Brigade", but also each battalion had its own characteristics.

In the previous battles of the Communist Party of Burma, it was the educated youth company that took the lead, they were tall, brave, loyal, fanatical, and shouted "Long live Taizu" (the reason for the shield) before their sacrifice, creating a heroic legend like "Huang Jiguang".

How many people crossed the Mengu River and rushed to the battlefield in Burma, Tang Yuan couldn't say.

Joining the Communist Party of Burma made Tang Yuan's father think that he could get rid of the shackles of the "Cultural Revolution", but he didn't expect that he would still ask for instructions early and report late. Some educated youths regret it and want to leave, but they don't have that freedom. If you escape, you must be punished for the "crime of treachery" in accordance with military law, and the law will be corrected on the spot.

Instructors and company commanders would always say in their reports: "Burma during the day is the enemy's, but Burma at night is ours, and in two years at most, the Burmese revolution will be completely victorious!" However, the all-army congress in June revealed the family background of the Burmese Communist Party.

At the time of the meeting, all the members of the Communist Party of Burma were all there, but the lawn the size of a basketball court was not even full, and it was not as crowded as when Tang Yuan's father was in school. It turned out that nearly 3,000 members of the main force of the Communist Party of Burma went south to Lashio, fell into an ambush, and were almost annihilated. Later, after the battalion of educated youths with the number 3035 was broken, the large army broke through, but the troops were seriously reduced.

Later, Tang Yuan's uncle, who carved jadeite, described the tragic scene of the Battle of Lashio: "In the thick fog, the enemy was only separated from the Daotian ridge, and they could not see each other. At this time, the most effective thing is a grenade, no need to throw, pull the string and gently let go of the ridge to blow up a large nest, and the enemy will also concoct us in the same way......"

It is in response to "Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother to return the horse leather shroud".

Going with Uncle Tang was a Wang Weiguo, 19 years old, a soldier of Unit 3033, an educated youth in Kunming, and the first loud bang of the attack on the Lashio railway station came from this young bazooka player.

He was the first to rush into the railway station, standing majestically in the middle of the tracks, facing the diesel locomotive 20 meters away and raising the bazooka in his hand, with a loud noise that shook the earth, the locomotive was shrouded in thick smoke and fire. However, because Wang Weiguo was too close to the target, his throat was cut by the flying fragments, and he died with the locomotive.

His body was left in a train culvert. There are many more who are hard to know, and no one knows their names.

The corpses that were fortunately preserved were wrapped in green military plastic sheeting and hurriedly buried in the exotic barren grass, and the slightly raised new soil of the mound was all facing east, and a small bamboo piece was inserted, which was a wordless tablet.

After the Battle of Lashio, the 31 recruits who participated in the Burmese Revolution with Tang Yuan's father died and fled, and in the end only he and the one who carved the jade for Tang Yuan remained.

At this time, it has only been more than 20 days since they met at the recruitment station.

After the deputy marshal incident, the domestic environment has changed greatly, and most of the educated youth comrades-in-arms have lost their armor and fled back.

What Tang Yuan's father and more than 100 determined elements left behind, as well as the value of life realized in this land.
