When he woke up, Ye Rong looked at the familiar and unfamiliar dilapidated cave, overgrown with weeds, ruined walls, and abandoned for many years......

In 1949, in the depths of winter, the loess high slope, Zhongtiao Mountain.

A small village in the mountains that is almost closed to the world, Sangzhuang.

As a small soldier, Ye Rong walked down from the blood-stained battlefield, bid farewell to the army, bid farewell to the cruel and catastrophic war career, and survived the rest of his life.

He walked along the snow-covered, empty and lonely country road, and returned to his familiar hometown alone......

After entering the village, everything is so familiar: deep ditches, mountains, caves, tunnels, air-raid shelters...... and bare mulberry trees that fall in winter.

Sangzhuang is named because of the large number of mulberry trees.

Winter is the slack season, in front of the cave facing the deep ditch, beside the country road, there are a few old people, dressed simply, chatting.

"When the People's Liberation Army liberated the county seat of Shanxia, I saw it...... It is said that the earth eight roads are the earth eight roads, and the guerrilla earth eight roads are fighting, and there are not a few soldiers! I didn't expect that when the People's Liberation Army drove over, I couldn't see the edge, it was too shocking......"

"Hey, the little devil was driven away, and now it's a civil war, I don't know where it's now? In our old village deep in the mountains, the news can't come in at all, and I don't know if the whole country has been liberated? ”

"Let's wait for Rong Wazi to come back...... He followed the PLA, and he will definitely bring back the news when he returns! ”

"Ye Rong, you say?"

As soon as this name was mentioned, one of the old men wearing a black cotton jacket and black cotton pants instantly changed his face, his voice was lowered, and he said, "Shh......h Be quiet! I can't mention this name...... He's a bandit who kills people without blinking! Except for Wei Huzi, who survived hiding under the bed, the rest of the seven members of the family were all killed by him, and I heard that the heart of the old guard was dug out by him very cruelly......"

“……”

The audience was shocked, silent, and their eyes showed fear.

Driven by curiosity, they began to continue chatting again.

"This also can't complain about Ye Rong, the little devil persecuted people back then, he couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes and no warmth, the old guard and Ye Rong's father pulled the pole at the same time and fell into the grass on Zhongtiao Mountain! One occupies the south of the mountain, and the other occupies the north of the mountain. One is named Wei Fengzhai and the other is named Ye Jiajun. Weifengzhai is a real bandit, robbing houses and houses, bullying men and women. The Ye family army is quite well disciplined, and sometimes when he encounters a sweep of devils, he also takes the initiative to open the door to accept the common people, and fires two shots at the sweep troops of the devils. I heard that that time, Ye Rong's father went back to the village to visit relatives, and was seen by the bandits of the old guard, and the old guard said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, so he shot Ye Rong's father with a cold shot. In order to take revenge, Ye Rong killed the old guard's entire family, and dug out the heart of the old guard to pay tribute to his father's spirit in the sky......"

"It seems that Ye Rong only killed Lao Weitou, and the remaining six members of Lao Weitou's family were killed by Ye Rong's younger brother Ye Ma!"

"Shh......h Ye Ma Ke is in the village, his voice is quiet, and he doesn't blink an eye when he kills people! ”

"Ye Ma is a waste now, when the guerrillas incorporated the Ye family army, they led the Ye family army to exterminate Weifeng Village and suppress bandits with bandits, Ye Ma was injured in the battle, and one leg was crippled!"

"I have to say that Ye Ma is also a hero, back then, Weifeng Village caused a lot of harm to our village, and it was the Ye brothers who exterminated it......"

“……”

A few old farmers chatting, their voices stopped abruptly!

Because in the wind and snow, a person came from far and near......

Dressed in a military coat and wearing a PLA hat, silent, quiet, there seems to be a solemn mood in the wind and snow!

When the man walked in, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and read a name tremblingly: "Ye, Ye...... Ye Rong! ”

"Rong Wazi is back?"

Only two people dared to say hello, and the rest were all terrified, the person in front of him, who killed people without blinking, had been bandits and soldiers.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Qin......"

Ye Rong showed a smile that was completely inconsistent with the murderous aura just now, and greeted everyone: "I'm happy to see that you are all okay." The whole of China has been basically liberated, and New China has been established! Since then, our country has gradually become calmer, and everyone no longer has to hide from the war in fear! ”

"New China ......"

"Formed ......"

The small mountain village, which is almost isolated from the rest of the world, does not even have a radio, the country has been newly built, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and the news has not yet reached here.

After the villagers were a little shocked, they praised for a while: "It's still the chairman!" ”

"It's good to have no war! The people who were most injured in the war were the people! ”

"The world is peaceful!"

"Rong Wazi ......"

The topic gradually returned to Ye Rong, and the villagers exclaimed: "It's still your luck!" When you were a bandit, you were also a grass bandit, and the other bandits were basically dead, how could you think of following the guerrillas? Now it's with the right person, and it's hit this world! ”

"I heard that your younger brother Yema, although he was crippled, did not leave with the People's Liberation Army in the end, and he was still injured in battle, and he has a military salary subsidy for the rest of his life? It's so envious! ”

"Ye Rong, the army will also send you money, right? Your Ye family is going to be developed! ”

“……”

Ye Rong said goodbye to the villagers with a smile and continued to walk home.

After leaving, facing Ye Rong, who had been smiling and kind to the villagers, his face immediately became cold again, he had experienced the war of blood and fire, saw the scene of corpses all over the field, stabbed people with knives with his own hands, blood stained his sight red, his father died, and his brother was disabled......

Ye Rong, who has experienced all kinds of things, is used to being cold-blooded.

But his smile is kind, and it is also a true outpouring of feelings, victory, liberation, the founding of New China, and a beautiful society is coming! In the face of the people who survived the catastrophe, the People's Liberation Army can proudly raise its head and proudly show its smile!

Because this world is what they bought with their blood and lives!

Everyone, stepping on the blood-stained skeletons of the country, should cherish the hard-won peace!

East of the village.

The penultimate cave compound is Ye Rong's house.

Pushing open the gate, through the dark doorway, Ye Rong saw that in the light at the end, there were two children, a man and a woman, about two or three years old, chasing and playing in the yard.

Immediately after that, a crutch appeared in view, and along with the crutches appeared a bayonet!

The bayonet passed through the dark doorway and pointed in the direction of the doorway......

"Who?"

The young man with a cane and a bayonet on his bearded face questioned sharply.

He is Ye Rong's younger brother, Ye Ma.

Ye Ma was watching the child in the yard, and suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, and habitually took out his bayonet, and asked out loud.

After all, there are enemies in the village, and they are each other's father-killing enemies!

Wei Huzi!

Wei Huzi's entire family was killed by the Ye family brothers! Weifeng Village was also exterminated by them!

And Wei Huzi's father, Wei Tou, is their father-killing enemy!

Although it is said that the two families killed each other, each with casualties, when Weifeng Village was exterminated, Wei Huzi happened to be not in the village and became a fish that slipped through the net, and then Wei Huzi naturally did not dare to come to trouble again because he was afraid of the Ye family brothers who had the backers of the army.

But the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, especially after Ye Ma marries a wife and has children, he is even more sloppy to avoid accidents with his wife, son and daughter!

Ye Rong took two steps back and stood in the sunlight outside the doorway, letting the other party see his face......

Ye Ma, who had been staring at the door, only saw the military coat in the dark at first, and didn't recognize who it was for a while, but then he finally saw it clearly, and suddenly two lines of tears cleared, and he shouted loudly: "Brother......"

After this sound, his emotions were completely out of control, and he moved his body to Ye Rong with a cane, and burst into tears: "Brother, you're finally back...... Came back alive...... When you left with the troops, I only hated myself for not being angry, my leg was broken, I was disabled, and I didn't leave with you...... You are fighting on the battlefield, how can I not worry? I asked someone to inquire about you, and I asked someone to listen to the list of the dead in our county at the radio station in the county seat, how afraid I was to hear your name in the list, but I still couldn't help but listen to it......"

"Ponies!"

Ye Rong rushed over, hugged his own brother, and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm not coming back, I'm still alive, we have won, New China has been founded!" ”

After a long time, the excitement of family affection and reunion in troubled times finally calmed down a little.

Ye Rong looked at the children who were still chasing in the courtyard, and wondered, "...... are they?" ”

"Your nephews and nieces! My son and daughter! Brother, after you left with the troops, a father and daughter who had been destroyed by the war outside the mountain fled to our village, carrying a flat shoulder, two quilts, pots and pans. I took them in, I married that girl......"

Ye Ma called the two children over, pointed at Ye Rong, and said, "Call Dad!" ”

"Dad!"

"Big Daddy......"

Both children were very afraid of this old man with a bayonet in his hand, so they called out very obediently.

"Hey!"

Ye Rong was very happy, this can be regarded as the queen of the Ye family!

"Is my brother back?"

At this time, a village woman with an ordinary appearance and good body came out of the inner room of the cave, and the weak birth asked: "I have always heard that there is an elder brother who is a soldier in the family, and I finally saw ......."

Ye Rong glanced at his younger brother's stump leg and knew that this younger brother and sister were indeed not easy.

In today's world, in the era of suffering, poverty, and self-reliance, men are disabled, and women must have suffered a lot.

Ye Rong was sincerely grateful: "Brother and sister, I have suffered, and my brother is all dependent on you to take care of it!" ”

"Brother, I'm not bitter! When my father and I fled here, the whole village was basically hungry, and no one was willing to take it in, because Ye Ma was kind, and he also had some disability subsidies from the army...... Ye Ma is a good man, he has killed devils, he has killed bandits, he is a well-known man who stands up to the sky, I can marry him, marry such a man, serve such a man...... No regrets! ”

"If you don't regret it, I regret it! You look ordinary......"

This bastard brother is still unwilling, Ye Rong, who should have been touched by his younger siblings, slapped Ye Ma on the back of the head angrily, "Just hello?" What else are you picking? ”

"He laughed ......"

was slapped in the face, and the younger brother and sister explained that they were quite distressed, worried that this brother would beat Ye Ma again.

The younger brother Ye Ma touched the back of his head and smirked......

It's quite a happy feeling, Ye Rong couldn't help but be moved. Now, Cathay Pacific and Min'an, seeing that everything is fine at home, and the Ye family has added Ding Tian's daughter, Ye Rong especially cherishes this Taiping family country that has just calmed down a little! And to this family, this country, full of hope and enthusiasm! I can't wait to see my children grow up, and I can't wait to see the good wishes of backward New China after its development!

Electric light telephone, upstairs and downstairs......

No oil is used to light the lamp, and no oxen are used to plow the land......

Wine before the meal, fruit candy after the meal......

Eat fish, eat meat, gnaw on pig's head, walk with apples and touch your nose......

What a beautiful and desirable dream world of socialism figuratively illustrated! An unimaginable, unbelievable, and utterly incredible world!
