Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Dream of the Republic of China (13)

"Sister-in-law Bai, what we have to listen to is not a lie."

Sister-in-law Bai glanced around at the three people in the hall, each of them had anxiety on their faces, thinking of the respect they had for themselves since they came to this home, Sister-in-law Bai decided to confide in some of her plans, believing that they would not reveal it to the U.S. government.

"Our men will escort Mr. Soong and his entourage to San Francisco, where they will board a ship and return to Hong Kong from the USS President Cleveland. There are already people in Hong Kong who can take the train directly to the mainland. ”

"Won't you be embarrassed when you leave the country?" Nan Nan asked. Today, the anti-communist fervor of McCarthyism has not completely subsided, and there are concerns about the presence of people in the immigration office who are biased towards McCarthy.

"No problem." "On August 1, China and the United States held ambassadorial-level talks in Geneva to discuss the issue of the two countries' diaspora. China put forward the condition that 11 American pilots could be released from prisoners of war, and showed a letter from Professor Qian asking for assistance in returning to China, demanding that the United States should no longer obstruct the return of Professor Qian and other scientific research personnel, and the United States finally agreed to this condition and no longer interfered with the departure of Professor Qian and others. ”

After hearing this, Yao Huang and the three of them put their hearts back in their stomachs.

Sister-in-law Bai stood up, "If there is no more doubt, then I will take my leave." "The target task has left, and the identity has been revealed, so Sister-in-law Bai naturally won't stay in this home anymore.

"It's very late today, sister-in-law Bai will leave tomorrow morning!" Nan Nan spoke out to keep Sister-in-law Bai, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was not safe to go out so late. I lamented in my heart, Sister-in-law Bai is gone, where can I find a cook with such good cooking skills?

"Xie Lu, Miss Song." Sister-in-law Bai smiled gratefully.

Yao Huang opened his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law Bai." I'd like to ask you a favor. ”

"What?" Sister-in-law Bai looked at Yao Huang, thinking that she wanted to ask her domestic colleagues to take care of Song Tianpeng through her.

"Could you please arrange it with your colleagues? I want to return home. ”

"Mom!"

"Sister Erya-"

The girl and the stake cried out in surprise.

Yao Huang smiled, "Didn't you always want to send me and Tianpeng to the pile?" Now I'm going to him. Shouldn't you be happy? ”

Nan Nan walked to Yao Huang's side in a few steps, held her arm and said, "Mom, you go back alone, there are many twists and turns, and I don't know what kind of danger Lu Dao will have, we don't worry." ”

Sister-in-law Bai slandered on the sidelines, isn't it just to return to China? How to say it is like breaking into the tiger's den in Longtan. Sure enough, they have all been brainwashed by capitalism, and they treat our newly established country as a flood beast. Hum.

Yao Huang continued to laugh, "I've been through the rain of bullets, but it's just a return to China, what's the danger." ”

"But ......"

"We're going back home with you." Stake suggested.

"Nope." Yao Huang's voice sternly refused, "You can't go back. ”

After the founding of New China, it was not peaceful, and how many lives were taken in those turbulent ten years. The elements of the stake and the stakes, which have grown under US imperialism, are certainly the key targets of the struggle. Yao Huang didn't want them to be fought or even lose their lives in the cowshed, the purpose of her return to China was to protect Song Tianpeng, so she naturally didn't want to add two more burdens.

"For what?" Nan Nan protested dissatisfied.

"Not for anything." Yao Huang is domineering. "You can't go back to China anyway, and even if you do, it will be twenty-five years later."

"Mom—"

"It's useless to be coquettish, if you don't let you go back, you won't be allowed to go back. If you still recognize me as your elder, listen to me. Yao Huang's tone was resolute.

"Why do you want twenty-five years from now?" The stake asks questions. This is too long.

"The establishment of each new regime is not very stable at the beginning and requires a process. It's just that the process isn't very smooth. There was a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice, and I don't want you to get involved. ”

"That day, Peng ......"

"That's why I'm going back home. With me protecting him, naturally he won't be in trouble. ”

The girl and the stake were silent. In the end, Yao Huang had to agree to go back to China alone. Yao Huang set foot on Chinese soil again a month later under the arrangement of his sister-in-law. There was a special person at the port to greet Yao Huang, Yao Huang was unwilling to delay, and directly asked someone to send her to Song Tianpeng's side.

Song Tianpeng took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that the person in front of him was real.

Yao Huang pursed his lips and looked at the man with a smile, and did not speak, waiting for him to react.

"Sister Erya, is it really you?" After rubbing his eyes vigorously several times, the figure in front of him never disappeared, and then he finally made sure that what he saw was not an illusion, Song Tianpeng asked in surprise.

Yao Huang walked to Song Tianpeng's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed Song Tianpeng's ear, "Stinky boy, have you learned to sneak?" I don't know how worried we are about you? ”

"I'm sorry, Sister Erya, I'm not sneaking away, but I'm reluctant to let you go, I'm afraid that in front of you, I won't have the courage to leave." Song Tianpeng hurriedly begged for mercy, his ears hurt so much!

"How did you know that I would stop you, why didn't you think I would go with you?" Yao Huang thought of his panic and anxiety after Song Tianpeng left, and decided in his heart that he would not spare him easily.

"You, you ......" Song Tianpeng was so shocked by the information received in his brain that he was almost speechless, and great joy swept through his body, he took several deep breaths and asked carefully, "You, do you mean that you are willing to accompany me and accept me?" ”

"Did I say that?" Yao Huang made up his mind not to let someone have a good time, and pretended to be stupid and said, "I didn't say anything." ”

Song Tianpeng scratched his heart and lungs, what did Yao Huang mean? Don't play him anymore, okay?

"Why are you here?"

"I can come if I want, you can't control it."

"You're worried about me, aren't you?"

"I love to worry about the stakes and steamed buns, and I don't know if they are doing well in the United States."

Smirked, "I know you're worried about me, otherwise you wouldn't have left your daughter and grandson to come to me." ”

"Arrogance!"

"Hehe......"

On August 13, 1945, the Americans dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. A few days later, Mao Zedong said at a cadre meeting in Yan'an: "Can the atomic bomb solve the war?" No! The atomic bomb could not make Japan surrender, there was only the atomic bomb and there was no people's struggle, the atomic bomb was just empty. ”

On August 6, 1946, American journalist Anna? Louis? Ms. Strong interviewed Mao Zedong under a jujube orchard in Yan'an, and Mao Zedong uttered a phrase that has been passed down around the world: "The atomic bomb is a paper tiger used by American reactionaries to frighten people, and it looks terrible, but in fact it is not terrible." ”

In the second half of 1951, the president of the French Academy of Sciences, a famous scientist in the world, and a Nobel laureate, Jorio? Curie (Marie Curie's son-in-law) had a message to Mao Zedong: "If you want to oppose nuclear weapons, you should have them yourself."

With the passage of time and the changes in the international situation, Mao Zedong despised the atomic bomb strategically and gradually attached importance to it tactically. In 1954, Mao Zedong asked Khrushchev, a visiting Soviet Union, whether he could help China in building nuclear weapons. On January 15, 1955, China launched a nuclear weapons development program codenamed 02.

Lop Nur in Xinjiang is known as the Sea of Death, which is full of Gobi and desert, and the research base where Song Tianpeng and others are located is located nearby. Yao Huang entered the base as a family member. The base is very strictly managed, and the entry and exit have to go through five inspection checkpoints. There are family members of other researchers in the base, and everyone does what they can, such as cooking and cleaning. Yao Huang's English is good, and he has become a full-time translator in the base, translating the materials brought back by Professor Qian and others from the United States into Chinese.

The work of the translator is not heavy, and in his spare time, Yao Huang opened a plot of land near the dormitory and planted some potatoes and sweet potatoes. The land of Lop Nur is very poor, and combined with the huge temperature difference between morning and evening – more than 40 degrees Celsius at noon, sub-zero temperatures in the middle of the night – and strong winds with sand, it is difficult for crops to survive. Yao Huang paid for someone to help her burn glass plates to build a greenhouse. Greenhouse cultivation techniques were very common in the 21st century, but they were innovative in the early 50s. The people in the base are very curious about this, in addition to the researchers, the logistics staff and the soldiers of the guards all came to help Yao Huang build a greenhouse, and asked about the relevant points, thinking that if the greenhouse can really grow food, then build a few more larger greenhouses to ensure the food source in the base - although the state will send food to the base regularly, but there are few vegetables, if the base can grow its own vegetables, it can improve everyone's food and ensure the supply of vitamins.

Yao Huang has only seen some simple introductions to greenhouse planting on the computer, how to do it, she must practice to do it, this small greenhouse is her test of the waters, for which she often consults the logistics group of those sisters-in-law and aunts who are in the countryside. Every morning, Yao Huang would cover the top of the glass shed with a layer of brown paper to resist the violent sun's rays; At night, a fire is lit in the paved underground cavity to ensure the temperature in the greenhouse in the cold night. After a month of hard work, green seedlings emerged in the greenhouse, which stimulated the entire base. The leaders of the base applied to the superiors for materials to build the greenhouse, and then the whole base was in full swing to set up the greenhouse. Yao Huang doesn't have to be busy morning and night, because those two jobs have been enthusiastically taken over by the soldiers of the base, and Yao Huang doesn't even have to water the crops, because the work of watering and taking care of the crops has also been taken away by the women in logistics, and the only condition is that all the things grown are handed over to them for logistics and safekeeping.

Pay will have a harvest, greenhouse planting in the crowd of people to work hard to achieve success, although can not do self-sufficiency, but the base of the food has been greatly improved, unlike before can only eat steamed buns and wowotou, potatoes, cabbage, radish, corn and some good planting vegetables also appeared on the base canteen table, so that the scientific researchers are satisfied, all the faces of the dishes have disappeared a lot.
