Chapter 152: Summer Night
Sister Rong is still young, and she will be sleepy after playing for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It was only 9 o'clock, the house was still very hot, and the adults were not sleepy, so they put her on the bamboo bed and fell asleep, and the second aunt chased mosquitoes for her. However, everyone thinks that the child has a weak spleen and stomach and can't sleep all night on the cool bed, so I still have to carry her in later.
Brother Ping had already fallen asleep, still holding a piece of watermelon in his mouth. Because of Yang Xiaobei's intervention, he was weaned during the New Year. But he has a bad temper and is always noisy, so the family has to always give him a little food to appease, and this back and forth has developed the habit of having to hold something in his mouth to fall asleep. At first, it was ***), and then it was slowly replaced by something else. It's a pity that there are no teethers, pacifiers and the like for him to bite now, under normal circumstances, he is biting a non-wooden stick carefully sharpened by the second uncle, poor baby......
Without the noise of children, grandpa was in the mood to start talking about the ancients. This year, I heard from Taohua Village that there was a Kuomintang fighter who had been arrested before and was coming back to visit his relatives. Grandpa felt that he had been arrested at that time!
I've heard this story many times before, but grandpa told it, so you have to listen carefully to it. However, the story is a collection of thrilling, suspenseful, anti-Japanese war and other themes, regardless of whether grandpa has exaggerated or not, it still has the potential to be a hit.
"I think back then, the family in these ten miles and eight towns was not arrested? It's not a trip or two, and in a few months you have to search from house to house, anyway, the young and strong ones have been pulled away!" Grandpa had a naïve expression on his young people, at that time, the two parties were in full swing, and they were fighting for their lives. Northern Hubei has always been the thoroughfare of nine provinces, the place where soldiers must fight, although Baiyun is said to be a mountainous area, but in ancient times there was "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, a loan will never be returned", and then there was "Yichang Defense", Baiyun as these well-known place names around, every time can not escape the soldiers.
During the war, they were either forced into the army, or they took the initiative to fight for a future, and there were a lot of young people who went out. Northern Hubei is a red base area, not to mention the Honghu Red Guards, Hong'an County has given birth to Dong Biwu, Li Xiannian two presidents, Han Xianchu, Qin Jiwei, Chen Xilian, Wang Chenghan, Zhou Shizhong, Xie Fuzhi and other 223 generals, including 8 people who were awarded the rank of general, 13 people who were awarded the rank of lieutenant general, 58 people with the rank of major general, is the county with the largest number of generals in the country, and is known as "general county".
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the commanders or political commissars of China's 10 major military regions, eight of which were Hong'an generals. Later, the 10 major military regions were changed to 8 major military regions, and the commanders or political commissars of the six major military regions were Hong'an people. Baiyun County is not so exaggerated, and there is also a lieutenant general and two major generals. And that's just the legacy of those who have chosen the right path. Even less well known are those who have voluntarily or forcefully chosen another political party and disappeared.
Success and defeat have always been like this. The person who participated in the national prefix, the family only thought that he died outside. Fortunately, due to the large number of people, everyone has scruples about each other, and in the special era, they have not been criticized for this stain - few people are clean, so why bother?
Logically speaking, on December 15, 2008, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait finally realized the "three links", that is, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have postal links, navigation links, and trade links. And it was not until 1987 at the earliest, Taiwan Island announced the end of martial law for 38 years, and the following year began to strictly censor family visits, I remember that at that time, a few veterans from my hometown came back, it was already after the 90s, how could there be veterans coming back now? Unrealistic, right?
Rural people are not very sensitive to this policy, and they only know that Uncle Deng did put forward the concept of "three links" a few years ago, but how do they know that it will take so many years to realize it? Grandpa thought that after the chairman made a speech, the people on Taiwan Island would be released!
This time it is said that the person who came back, grandpa still knows. At that time, the poor family couldn't open the pot, and the two young men, the eldest brother went to the widow's house to do a "sitting house to recruit a husband", which was worse than getting rich, which meant that the man in charge of the family was gone, but the family had many children and widows who couldn't support it, so they recruited another husband. The family is still the previous male owner, and the children will not recognize their stepfather - without this qualification, they will find a free laborer, and if they have children, they will follow the surname of the head of the family.
As a younger brother, he went directly to be a soldier, and his family had no worries, but he just wanted to be a soldier to eat. So the grandfather was a strong man who was arrested, and he fled back when the Kuomintang soldiers were defeated and in chaos, but the boy of the Huang family disappeared without a trace. Decades have passed, and suddenly there is news that he is coming back to visit relatives.
"I think I was a porter back then, and I didn't manage it so strictly. It's different on his side, the deserters are going to be shot!" said Grandpa with emotion. He also spoke eloquently about the thrilling experience of his escape (countless times). First, at night, when the big-headed soldiers were asleep, they crawled out of the dog hole in the house where they were imprisoned, but there were too many people who fled, which alarmed the troops, and then began a thrilling escape journey.
Because it was winter, my grandfather ran up the mountain, and it was difficult to hide his tracks. In desperation, he hid himself in a ditch with fallen leaves. The pursuers straddled him several times that night, but because the night was dark and the wind was high, his vision was unknown, and he was not found hiding under his nose, so he was lucky to escape, and then begged all the way back home. Otherwise, "How can you babies!"
Indeed, there is no statistics on how many people were coerced back then. But only a few people were able to come back later. Although they were already successful people at that time, and they had a small fortune, they had a lot of money after leaving home for so many years, and they could no longer find their place in their hometown.
Grandpa's real experience is much more exciting than those brain-burning dramas. Especially those disgusting anti-Japanese dramas, the Yamato nation is also unlucky, it has been invaded for 8 years, and it will be hung and beaten for 80 years in various TV dramas, 800 years, and the people of the whole country will be reincarnated, it is estimated that it is not enough!
As the night wore on, everyone went to sleep in the house one after another. Yang Xiaobei thought it was hot inside, and she was too lazy to fan herself with a fan - this was really a difficult action, and it was difficult for her to learn. But she had her own lazy way, so she asked the second uncle to help put the mosquito net on the cool bed and sleep on the rice field.
Don't be afraid of public security, the road is not forgotten, but sleeping outside is trivial, many people do it when it is hot. Besides, the big yellow dog slept under the bed, he is not a pet dog, not so easy to mess with!
Yang Xiaobei soon entered the dream. As a result, it was sad in the middle of the night......
What does it feel like to sleep soundly and be poured into the rain? Yang Xiaobei is also blindfolded. It suddenly rained heavily in the middle of the night, but I didn't give a thunder notice, (the thunder couldn't wake her up), and the result was that I was caught off guard by the rain and took a shower, and I got up in the middle of the night to move, which is not too tragic......
