Shopkeeper He of Songzhu Grocery Store led a few people out of the gate of the guards, and said as he walked forward: "Comrade Junxiong, you won't leave any bad impression on Yan'an because of this incident, right?" ”

"No, they are also responsible, and it can be seen that the military and civilians in Yan'an are united, which is a good thing."

Along the way, Lin Junxiong watched many civilian homes destroyed, but they did not have many negative emotions, but silently cleaned up the bombed and damaged houses, and many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were also comforting and helping the people. Many ordinary people and a group of students shouted slogans against Japanese imperialism to vent their protest and hatred for little Japan.

After several people arrived at the Songzhu grocery store and sat down, the shopkeeper He told Lin Junxiong that when he set off to go to the guard, he had called the guy to inform Liao Chengxian, and after discovering He Meifeng, he wanted to pull her out, but He Meifeng hid behind Shang Tianen's back.

Liao Chengxian rushed over, and as soon as they met, he held Lin Junxiong's hand and said: "Comrade Junxiong, you are finally here, and it is a little unfortunate that you have come, little Japan has been very rampant recently, and has bombed Yan'an many times, and I have been busy these days, and I didn't care about calculating the time of your arrival." ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's important to get down to business, it's important to settle the affected people."

"Hehe, I'm not busy with this, I've been thinking about the "Yellow River Cantata" with Xian Xinghai and Guang Weiran for the past few days."

"The Yellow River Cantata? Are you about to make your debut? It seems that we have come at the right time, this "Yellow River Cantata" is not only the heroic epic of the Chinese nation's battle, but also the magnificent picture scroll of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it reflects the awakening of the nation, inspires the people's fighting pride, and can be called one of the most outstanding works in the history of modern literature and art. ”

"This, how do you know, this song is still being written and arranged?"

Lin Junxiong knew that he was excited, and hurriedly added: "I have a friend who knows Xian Xinghai and heard that he wants to create such a song and express such a meaning. ”

"Oh, that's right, listening to the previous monologue, my heart is surging, the monologue says: The great Yellow River, the mother river of the motherland, feeds hundreds of millions of children, records the vicissitudes of the years, rushes surging, turbidity waves empty, mighty, thousands of miles, rushes through all obstacles, removes any obstacles, surging forward, straight to the sea. Isn't this exactly the symbol of the Chinese nation's hard work, courage and diligence, never turning back, and indomitable progress? ”

"Listening to you, I'm excited, you are busy first, it doesn't hurt for us to wait here for a few days, and then take us around when you are free."

"Don't worry, I'll report it as soon as possible, Meifeng, why are you here, what are you hiding, come out!"

He Meifeng reluctantly walked out from behind Shang Tianen, and shouted to Liao Chengxian with a small mouth: "Dad! ”

"Huh?" Lin Junxiong and Shang Tianen were all surprised.

"Comrade Junxiong, this is my second daughter Liao Meifeng, I didn't cause you trouble, right?"

Lin Junxiong smiled and briefly told Liao Chengxian about the experience of meeting Liao Meifeng and all the way, and Liao Chengxian said comfortingly: "I have grown up and have a future." It's just that you came to my side to explain it to your mother, so silently I don't know where to go, your mother is anxious, and told me about your disappearance half a month ago, I thought you would go back after messing around for a while, but I didn't expect to run to Yan'an, you girl, if you don't meet Junxiong and them, what do you let your father do. ”

Liao Meifeng pulled the corner of Liao Chengxian's clothes and sprinkled coquettishly: "Dad, isn't this okay, my daughter Jiren has her own natural appearance, hehe, I won't dare next time." ”

"I dare to have a next time, I will send a message to your mother later, so that she is still worried."

"Junxiong, I'll take a leave of absence, and tomorrow I'll accompany you around and take you to see this revolutionary holy place that countless literati and young people yearn for."

The next day, Liao Chengxian first placed Lin Junxiong and a few others in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region Government Guest House, and Jin Cheng, chief of the Communication Section of the Border Region Government, personally received them and his party, and after arranging for them to stay, he gave them a stack of meal coupons, divided into three colors in morning, noon and evening, and explained: You can go to him to get them when you run out, and each meal coupon can go to the small restaurant on the right outside the door of the guest house to eat a "portion of rice."

After a few people cleaned up, they felt a little hungry, so they took the meal coupon and found the small restaurant on the right side of the gate according to Jincheng's instructions. This small restaurant is indeed not big, facing the stove, there are only four or five square tables in the store, they find a place to sit down, the meal coupon in exchange for the staple food and non-staple food, the staple food is four small steamed buns or a big bowl of rice, the non-staple food is a dish and a soup, the dish is stir-fried shredded pork with mustard, and the soup is mustard and shredded pork soup.

Liao Chengxian said to Lin Junxiong and the others: "Do you think we are a little stingy and cold with these entertainments, such a meal is much higher than that of the local soldiers and civilians." Although it was a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Kuomintang blocked the economic and material supplies of the border areas, and the government of the border areas could only rely on self-sufficiency. ”

Several people even said that it was very good, but in their hearts they felt chilled by the Kuomintang's behavior of acting in defiance of the yang and yin. Lin Junxiong looked out the door casually while eating his meal. At this time, two people wearing Japanese military uniforms carried two buckets full of water, calmly communicated in Japanese, and walked in front of the small restaurant, it seemed that they should be prisoners of war of the Japanese army.

Liao Chengxian looked up and saw this scene, and he explained: "We here the Japanese Communist Party has set up an 'anti-war league' to help us educate and train Japanese prisoners of war. The two Japanese prisoners of war you just saw were helping the elderly people carry water, that is, learning to serve the people, hehe. ”

After eating and returning to the guest house, Jin Cheng also came over to chat with a few people and asked what else he needed. Talking about some of Lin Junxiong's past events in the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression, and talking about Zhang Guotao's erroneous decision to reject the Red Army's northward march, Liao Chengxian said: "Zhang Guotao refused to admit his mistake after being criticized by the party, and fled Yan'an last year in the name of worshiping the Yellow Emperor and took refuge in the Kuomintang, and the party Central Committee has decided to expel him from the party. ”

Lin Junxiong also sighed: "Yes, at that time, the comrades who opposed him were bitter, knowing their mistakes, as a party member, they had to carry it out. ”

On the third day of their arrival in Yan'an, Liao Chengxian and Jincheng took a few people to visit the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Area Credit Cooperative.

As for why the "border currency" was issued, Liao Chengxian said: "The Kuomintang not only strictly forbade the flow of ordinary people's daily necessities into the border areas, but also tried every means to restrict the common legal tender from falling into our hands. If we don't have fiat currency, we can't go to the white area, that is, outside the border area, to buy things, so we can only accumulate the fiat currency issued by the central bank and go to the white area to buy some daily necessities that the border area cannot produce at present and that the people need. In the rural economy of the border areas, some people can barter, for example, they can take an egg to the credit union to exchange a few pieces of paper, but there are still many things and many occasions that cannot be bartered. For the convenience of the people, the government of the border region had no choice but to issue a small number of coupons in the name of Guanghua Store, which were limited to circulation in the border area. This was also an expedient measure forced by the Kuomintang, but the Kuomintang accused the government of the border region of issuing currency privately, disrupting finance, and undermining the unity of government decrees. ”

Jin Cheng went to get a few coupons and handed them to Lin Junxiong: "You see, such a rough coupons are not as good as the 'dark coins' burned to the dead in the Kuomintang-ruled areas. Why are we struggling so hard in such a poor material condition, and we have to deal with the shameless material blockade of the Kuomintang? It's not to obey the overall situation of resisting Japan and saving the country! ”

Lin Junxiong touched the auxiliary currency coupons, and felt that the quality was very poor, the pattern and printing were also rough, the largest face value was one yuan, and the smallest was five cents, Jin Cheng continued: "In addition to using the method of accumulating fiat currency to buy necessary items in the white area, the border district government also mobilized the military and civilians to Nanniwan to reclaim wasteland, develop production, and rely on themselves, gradually solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the border area, and suffer less from the Kuomintang's cowardice. In the large-scale production movement, we Communist Party members took the lead everywhere, even Commander-in-Chief Zhu personally took the lead in clearing the wasteland, and Vice Chairman Zhou learned to spin thread with a spinning wheel! ”

Lin Junxiong said with emotion: "During our three days in Yan'an, I saw that the living standards of the military and civilians in the border areas were very low, while in the areas ruled by the Kuomintang, most of the officials relied on nepotism to climb up, and there were many people who did not learn and did nothing, and there were many people who did not learn and did nothing, and corruption abounded. At a time when such a national crisis is at hand, there are many such phenomena in the military. There is a huge difference between the lives of officials and ordinary people, and if this goes on like this, they will lose the support of the people, and it will be very unfavorable to the reunification of the War of Resistance. ”

Jincheng continued: "In the border areas and other liberated areas, corruption does not occur. All revolutionary base areas have clear regulations: those who embezzle more than 500 yuan shall be sentenced to death; Whoever embezzles public funds for personal gain shall be convicted of embezzlement; Functionaries who neglect their duties and waste public property shall be dismissed from their posts or imprisoned, depending on the extent of the waste. Besides, there is not much difference in the living standards of cadres in the liberated areas, and if someone embezzles money and engages in special enjoyment, it is easy to be discovered. ”

What Lin Junxiong and his men saw and heard in Yan'an, the red heart, during their three days was refreshing, and they were full of vigor and prosperity. Although the living conditions here were difficult, the social order was orderly, and everyone was actively working in their own posts to support the war of resistance. Communist Party members lead by example, everywhere, endure hardships in the front, and are connected with the flesh and blood of the people. Their spirit of selfless dedication and self-sacrifice in working tirelessly and wholeheartedly seeking the liberation of the Chinese nation is truly a world of difference compared to the selfish clique, corruption, undermining the unity of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and hindering the all-people War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the areas ruled by the Kuomintang. On the one hand, everything is subject to the overall situation of resisting Japan and saving the country and working hard, and on the other hand, it is looking for all kinds of excuses to undermine unity and cooperation and joint resistance against Japan. In contrast, although Lin Junxiong's firm red revolutionary heart has never changed, he was once a general of Chiang Kai-shek's descendants, and he can't help but be a little "ashamed".
