Chapter 335: Sending Wine to Heroes (2)
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
The elder brothers were chatting happily in the house, and suddenly heard three horsewhips in the courtyard. A few people hurriedly ran out to take a look, and they were stunned! I saw that all the people in the courtyard were from the village, and the first one was Da Zhuang's father, but I saw that he was holding a horse whip in his hand and playing whipping in the yard.
There is a plane tree at the root of the east wall, although the late autumn is coming to an end, but the residual leaves left on the branches are still loose and reluctant to sway in the wind on the branches. The big strong father is holding a horsewhip in his hand, aiming at the leaves to show off his whipping skills.
"Old Tan, just leave without saying a word? I don't know if you've seen me or not, but you must have heard of the name of the Great Daddy of the Divine Whip, guess who I am? The big strong father was talking, and the horsewhip in his hand was still whipping the leaves on the branches.
"Brother, don't guess, Lao Yao told me that there are calluses in my ears and eyes, see this long whip, see your whip skills, who doesn't know the prestige of your big father!" Lao Tan said admiringly.
"Hahaha, old Tan, I'm stinky, not like you. You have been lying in us for so many years, we only know that there is a one-eyed man who watches the garden in the livestock breeding farm, but none of us folks know that you are a combat hero! You hid too deep and blindfolded everyone. No, if it weren't for the dog's words, we would still be in the dark! ”
"You see that we have a lot of people here in the machine well room today, everyone heard that you are leaving, and the big guys all came to see you off. How's that, welcome? Da Zhuang Dad stopped the whipping technique in his hand and said to Lao Tan.
"Oh, dude." Lao Tan looked at the crowd in the courtyard, and said to everyone with emotion: "Folks, thank you, folks!" During the war years, I felt our simple folk customs, and it was this folk customs that supported the party and the masses to connect with each other and trust each other, all the way to today. Today, the relationship between the party and the masses has become closer and carried forward! ”
"Our party has always adhered to the principle that the common people are our heaven, and it is precisely on this basis that I live incognito here and refuse to reveal my identity. I'm a communist. Give birth. Party members, who are also the sons and daughters of the people, do not cause trouble to everyone, which is the fine principle of revolutionary party members under the leadership that I have always adhered to, and at the same time, it is also the fine style of a soldier who does not take a stitch from the masses! ”
"Why? Just to make trouble for the big guys, then the big guy will spoil me! I am a veteran party member who came from the war years, I am also a revolutionary veteran who has come from the rain of bullets, and I am also an old underground worker who has lost contact with the organization for many years. There are two things that move me today, one is that the party organization is coming to see me, I have finally found my party organization, I have found my home! ”
"The second thing that touched me was my fathers and fellow villagers! I don't need to be familiar with the faces of everyone present, let alone know who you are, but I know that you are my parents, brothers and sisters, you are all my relatives, and you are the strong backing for raising our party and country! As a veteran, I salute you! As an old party member, I salute you! Salute to your simple folk customs! ”
Lao Tan's solemn rules and regulations were neat, and he saluted more than once in the face of the villagers in the courtyard!
"Folks, don't be stunned, hurry up and come over to see off the hero!" Big Daddy shouted into the crowd.
As soon as Da Zhuang's words fell, I saw that the people in front of me automatically dodged a way, and many people came from behind, but when I saw the table of these villagers, those who took bowls took bowls, and those who carried cloth bags carried cloth bags. They came to Lao Tan and put the guys in order, poured bags of peanuts, walnuts, and jujubes in the middle of the table, put bowls on them, and poured wine.
"Lao Tan, we heard that the central working group is coming to pick you up, and the villagers have spontaneously come to see you off, you are our pride! Over the years, we really didn't know that there was a people's hero hidden by our side, and the big guys felt ashamed of you! Come, pick up the bowl, we will practice it for you! Da Zhuang said.
"I said brother, okay you, I really didn't expect you to give such a whole play, it's good! This situation reminds me of the trip to Pingshan, just when we left, they also sent us like this, and it is still unforgettable! At this time, the old secretary picked up the bowl and said: "Fellow villagers, Lao Tan is engaged in underground work, in the war years, he was born and died, and he was fighting bloody battles for our party and people every day!" ”
"In those arduous years, they were the third eye of our party and the people, and they were always ready to sacrifice for us! This is Lao Yao, this is Heizi, they are good witnesses, and they have verified the danger of their work with their own eyes! Everyone has seen Lao Tan's eye, there is nothing more convincing than it! ”
"The whole country has been liberated, the people are the masters of their own affairs, and we have lived a good life. But where are they? The sacrifices of sacrifices, the loss of contact, and many more are missing. They don't complain, they don't complain, their lives are worse than ours, do you know why? ”
"This is because, once they lose contact with the organization, it is equivalent to giving them a death sentence, which means that they are living dead people! Over the years, he has no relatives by his side, Lao Tan lives alone, living in a world where no one asks for the law, like an abandoned child who has no one to rely on, he is always thinking about finding his own organization as soon as possible and returning to his own home! ”
"Well, now the superiors have finally come to them, they are finally going to see their relatives, they are going home! Come folks, we see off the heroes! ”
"Thank you, thank you, folks!" Lao Tan picked up the bowl and drank a big sip happily!
Tick, tick, tick!
Just when people were having fun, they suddenly heard the horn of a car at the gate!
Everyone's eyes looked behind them together, only to see the two jeeps in front and behind them stop at the gate with the sound of starting motors. Seeing this, the old secretary quickly got up and ran over.
"Excuse me, is this the Yitang Village Committee?" As the old secretary ran in front of the jeep, a heavily armed man got out of the car and asked.
"Yes, yes, may I ask you?" The old secretary glanced at the license plate number and asked quickly.
"I was appointed by the Special Department of the General Staff, my surname is Xing, so you can call me Staff Officer Xing. Are you an old secretary? Staff Officer Xing asked.
"I am, I'm the old secretary, hello Staff Officer Xing, I received a specific notice in the morning, we have been waiting for you here for a long time, waiting for you to come!" The old secretary hurriedly stretched out his hand and said while greeting Staff Officer Xing.
"Old secretary, this is our letter of introduction, please take a look." Staff Officer Xing opened the briefcase, took out a letter of introduction from it and said to the old secretary.
"Okay, I'll take a look." The old secretary opened the letter of introduction as he spoke, only to see that it was written: Respectfully, the special ministry of the General Staff Department, today I specially appointed Staff Officer Xing to your side to greet Tan Moumou, an underground worker who has been lost for many years, he is an old comrade who has experienced a hundred battles, an old party member, and has made important contributions to the cause of the liberation of the motherland! After several searches, we learned that he had lived in seclusion with you for many years. We hope that local government departments at all levels will cooperate to ensure the successful completion of the pick-up task! Sincerely, Regards! At the drop point is a round red seal that reads, "The General Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."
"Good, good! Staff Officer Xing, let me introduce you. The old secretary glanced at Lao Tan, pulled her to his side and said to Staff Officer Xing: "This person is the person you are looking for!" ”
The two faced each other, and they all performed a regular military salute in unison!
"Lao Tan, I have wronged you, I would like to extend my highest salute to you on behalf of the special ministries and commissions of the General Staff!" Staff Officer Xing said.
"Salute to the party organization!" Lao Tan said with a trembling voice.
After the ceremony, the two hugged each other tightly, and Lao Tan burst into tears!
"Alright, let's all talk in the room." The old secretary said to the two of them and the people who got out of the car, and then said to the villagers standing in the courtyard: "Folks, get out of the way and let our comrades drive the car in." ”
"Old Tan, let's go, let's talk in the house, let's make a simple record registration, and then we can go home!" Staff Officer Xing said to Lao Tan.
"Okay, please!"
Under the guidance of the old secretary, the group came to the conference room of the brigade headquarters, and after the introduction of staff officer Xing to everyone one by one, the guests and hosts gathered and sat down.
Staff Officer Xing took out a notepad from his briefcase and asked Lao Tan: "Lao Tan, please briefly introduce your experience, and I will make a brief record."
Lao Tan reminisced and recounted the valuable situation from that era to the present, and the pen in Staff Officer Xing's hand was also rustling rapidly.
"Are there any witnesses who haven't fought with you?" Staff Officer Xing finished the transcript and asked.
"Yes, but not on our staff, can they?" Old Tan asked.
"Yes, the nature of your work is complicated, the people you do contact with are people with lofty ideals who defend the country and defend the country, and they are also heroes of the motherland, which are recorded in a record left by Director Chen in North China, as long as the matter is true and conclusive, we will take it seriously!" Staff Officer Xing said.
"Okay." Lao Tan looked at the old secretary.
"Okay, okay, I'll call someone."
The old secretary walked out of the room and shouted at Lao Yao and Heizi: "Lao Yao, Heizi, you two come over for a while." ”
Lao Yao and Heizi came to the house, Staff Officer Xing explained the situation, and Lao Yao explained the situation of himself and Lao Tan concisely according to Staff Officer Xing's requirements.
After listening to Lao Yao's narration, Staff Officer Xing watched Lao Yao and Heizi slowly stand up, and then one of them stood up and gave a military salute to the two of them and said, "I have heard the names of the two for a long time, I didn't expect to see you here!" Your deeds are recorded in the materials left by Director Chen, although we did not convince you to join our team, but you are also doing the same liberation cause as us. When I was young, I had heard of you and admired you very much, but I didn't have a chance to meet you! ”
"Comrade Lao Tan has been able to live to this day, thanks to you, I really should pay tribute to you!" After Staff Officer Xing finished speaking, he said to the two of them: "You two are Lao Tan's most powerful witnesses, you can take a group photo, this is also one of our work to collect evidence." ”
"Okay, no problem."
"Okay, old secretary, our task is complete, and we are also going to take Lao Tan home, thank you for your cooperation." Staff Officer Xing said, the old secretary said.
"We just can't keep it if we want to. Old Tan, it's okay, reporters often come back to take a look. The old secretary said to Lao Tan.
"Don't worry, old secretary, this is my home, all my emotions are here, I will come often!" Lao Tan said.
The group came outside, and the courtyard was crowded, which moved Lao Tan even more!
"Folks, thank you, folks, I'll take the time to come back to see you!" Lao Tan waved his hand to everyone and said.
The motor sounded, the people in military uniforms got into the car, Lao Tan just stepped on the jeep with one foot, and suddenly he remembered something, retracted his foot again, and then began to touch the crowd.
"Dogs left, dogs left?" Lao Tan shouted at the crowd, he concluded that the dog must be peeping at him in the crowd, so he shouted loudly: "The dog is left, the eldest brother is leaving, the eldest brother wants to see you, you come out, otherwise the eldest brother will feel uncomfortable!" ”
There was a commotion in the crowd, and it didn't take much effort to see the crowd pushing left and right to push a clay figure covered in dirt to the front.
Gou Yu stood motionless in front of the blue sky, just staring at Lao Tan intently without saying a word.
"Salute!" Lao Tan stood upright, gave a military salute to the dog, and refused to let go for a long time.
At this moment, I saw the dog's remaining tears come down and say, "Do you really want to leave?" ”
"It's temporary, I'll be back."
"Talking counts?"
"Never break your word!"
"Remember what you said, if you lose your words again, I will never recognize you as a big brother!"
"Yes! See me in action! ”
Gou Yu took out a good paper bag wrapped in paper from his pocket and said to Lao Tan: "Lao Tan, I have nothing else to give you, you can take this, don't forget me!" ”
Lao Tan took the paper bag and opened it to take a look, only to see that there were seven or eight peeled sparrows in the paper bag. Lao Tan looked at the sparrow, then looked at the dog leftovers, and suddenly two lines of hot tears flowed down in the twilight!
