Cui Fengming sent Chunxiu back to her rented place, and Chunxiu said to Cui Fengming that it was late anyway, and asked him to come into the house and sit for a while, drink a cup of tea and sober up before leaving. Chunxiu lives in a small bungalow, she burns the stove very strongly, the kettle on the stove boils, and the hot and humid water steam fills the small room, making people feel very warm. Chunxiu took off her padded jacket and only wore a coarse cloth gown, she made tea and asked Cui Fengming to sit on the edge of the bed to drink, and she took out a wet towel to gently wipe the wounds on Cui Fengming's face. Under the light, Chunxiu is draped in some scattered black hair, and there are tears on his face that have not been wiped off, like pear blossoms with rain. When Chunxiu wiped Cui Fengming's face, her chest raised high under her shirt trembled and almost touched the tip of Cui Fengming's nose, and Cui Fengming closed her eyes in shame.

After Chunxiu wiped Cui Fengming's face injury, she poured a cup of tea for Cui Fengming, and poured a cup for herself. She drank too much wine today and was a little dizzy, she covered her chest with her hands and couldn't stop panting, her hair was scattered on her forehead. Cui Fengming smelled Chunxiu's strong smell of wine but felt a burst of sweet fragrance coming to his face, and the alcohol and blood were uncontrollably strong surging in his body, he couldn't help but grab Chunxiu's hand and said, "Sister, you are so good-looking!" You are really the best-looking and most distressing sister in the world! ”

Chunxiu touched Cui Fengming's face and asked drunkenly: "Fengming, my sister's life is not good, and she has been bullied." I bumped into the peanut skin affair by you, I'm not a good woman in your eyes, am I? With that, she burst into tears again.

Cui Fengming looked at Chunxiu who was crying in front of him, a sense of sympathy and love arose, under the influence of alcohol, he suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged Chunxiu tightly to his chest, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Chunxiu, you were bullied by peanut skin, not bad for you!" You're a good woman, you're my good sister, it's true! ”

"You really don't dislike me?"

Cui Fengming said loudly: "No! ”

Chunxiu's face was full of tears, and she couldn't help but fall into Cui Fengming's arms. The two hugged each other tightly, Cui Fengming touched a woman's body for the first time, and he hugged Chunxiu's soft and elastic body and trembled excitedly.

Both of them were drunk, as if nothing else existed in this world except for the true feelings of the two of them. On this night, Chunxiu opened her soft arms to Cui Fengming.

When it was the first time to do things between men and women, Cui Fengming was very nervous, and he slowly eased down under Chunxiu's gentle soothing. On this night, Cui Fengming knew through experience that the love between men and women is not as dirty and ugly as he thinks, it can be extremely pure and without evil thoughts, it gives Cui Fengming a wonderful feeling. In Chunxiu, he realized that a woman's emotions can be as gentle as water. It can be as hot as fire, and it can be as deep as the sea.

After the two fell in love like crazy, Cui Fengming, who had sobered up, felt a little guilty and even panicked, and he blamed himself and said to Chunxiu: "Sister Chunxiu, blame me for this today, I feel sorry for you." I'm not a good person, and I won't dare again! ”

Chunxiu told him seriously: "Feng Ming, in fact, I like you not only because you look like my brother, but also because you are a handsome and upright young man!" You don't have a place to be sorry for me. Today it wasn't you who seduced me, but I did it willingly. I want to be loved well by a man I like for once. No matter what happens in the future, don't forget my sister, I'm satisfied! ”

Cui Fengming also said to Chunxiu seriously: "Sister Chunxiu, I also like to be with you." With me, don't deal with that person with peanut skin after you. He dares to bully you, I will never spare him! ”

It's the middle of the night, Cui Fengming is going home, and Chunxiu thinks it's too late. She reluctantly hugged Cui Fengming and asked him to leave again at dawn. Throughout the night, Cui Fengming snuggled his face tightly into Chunxiu's soft arms like a coquettish child, and he experienced warmth and love in this married woman who was a few years older than himself. It was a night he will never forget. On this night he gave his virginity to this woman.

Cui Fengming's eyes were a little moist when he told Wang Hongju about this. He couldn't go on. Wang Hongju lit a cigarette for him and said, "It's really touching! Your story can be written as a novel. ”

Cui Fengming took a big sip of his cigarette and continued: "I still feel sorry for Sister Chunxiu, I owe her love." Since that kind of thing happened to the two of us, although Sister Chunxiu felt nothing, I felt very ashamed and blamed myself, feeling like that hateful peanut skin, taking advantage of the danger of others to take advantage of Sister Chunxiu. I felt ashamed, I was sorry for her, I didn't have the face to see her again. Although I wanted to cut off this unexplained contact with Sister Chunxiu, Sister Chunxiu still attracted me like a magnet, and I felt listless like I lost my soul when I didn't see her for a few days.

At that time, my father asked someone to find me a night to watch the storeroom, and it happened that the storeroom was not far from Sister Chunxiu's residence, so I often sneaked to Sister Chunxiu's house to have a tryst with her before going to work at night. Those days were the most memorable for me. When we were together, she gave me all the love she could give me. But there is no impermeable wall, and although the matter between me and Sister Chunxiu was sneaky, somehow it was spread by rumors. The manager of Juxian Building was a good friend of my father, and one day he came to my house out of kindness and told my father about me and Sister Chunxiu.

My father was so angry that he almost vomited blood after he found out that I had an affair with a married woman, and he warned me not to have any contact with Sister Chunxiu again, and to cut off the father-son relationship with me if I found out that I continued to associate with her. I knew that my father was half-paralyzed and my mother was entangled in housework, and they couldn't look down on me at all. In order not to make my father angry, I agreed, but I still kept in touch with Sister Chunxiu, but I went to Sister Chunxiu less often, and Sister Chunxiu also understood me very well.

One night I sneaked to Sister Chunxiu's house, I knocked on her door and threw myself into her arms, when I kissed her to the fullest, I found that she had tears on her face, I asked her why she was crying, Sister Chunxiu told me that Peanutskin was always entangled to sleep with her these days, she resolutely refused to agree, and the angry Peanutskin beat her. I was angry when I heard it, for Sister Chunxiu, I picked up a stick and was going to find peanut skins desperately, Sister Chunxiu was afraid that I would make a big deal and it would not end well, so I would talk about it and stop me.

I was a person who had revenge, especially those who bullied my woman, and I would never let go! One night I sneaked up behind Peanutskin as he came home from work, and hit him in the back with a stick when he wasn't looking. The peanut skin was knocked to the ground with a stick from me. When he saw that I had beaten him, he got up and rushed at me with a shout. I was full of hatred for Peanutskin, and I picked up my stick and hit him headlessly, and Peanutskin was so beaten that I covered his head and screamed. There was no way to fight back, and I hit him in the leg with a stick, and he couldn't get up after he fell to the ground. I looked at the peanut skin that had fallen to the ground and groaned, and I felt very relieved. I spat in his face and swaggered away with my stick.

The next morning, I came home from the night shift and fell asleep in bed, I had just fallen asleep for a while when I heard someone knocking on the door of my house, and then I heard a familiar woman's voice talking to my mother in the yard, she said that she was looking for someone named Cui Fengming. I think that woman's voice is like Sister Chunxiu, why did Sister Chunxiu come to my house? I was completely sleepy, so I got out of bed and ran out into the yard. I saw Sister Chunxiu standing in the middle of my yard, panting and having a nervous expression.

I asked strangely, 'Sister Chunxiu, why are you here?' ’

Chunxiu was about to walk up to me when she saw me coming out, but was stopped by my mother.

Chunxiu wanted to tell me something quietly, but when her mother stopped her, she had to tell me loudly: 'You beat the peanut skin half to death last night, and you broke one of his legs. Peanutskin's cousin works at the police station, and when he hears about it, he will bring someone to arrest you in a while. When I heard the news in Juxian Building, I came to you, so go out and hide! ’

When I heard that the police were coming to my house to arrest me, I was scared. If Sister Chunxiu hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I had caused a big disaster. I said to Chunxiu gratefully, "Sister Chunxiu, thank you." I'll go out and hide right away. ’

Sister Chunxiu ran out to find me secretly, and after she told me about the situation, she was in a hurry to go back to work in Juxian Building. But at this time, my mother had already guessed that Sister Chunxiu was the woman who had an affair with me. My mother grabbed Chunxiu's clothes and didn't let her go, asking her loudly why she had seduced me, a little boy, and insulting her with vicious language. My father was lying in bed and couldn't get up, and he heard my mother scolding Chunxiu. He also scolded in the house.

My mother's hoarse scolding attracted many neighbors who watched the excitement one after another, and in front of the public, Sister Chunxiu was blushing with shame from her mother. She wanted to run away, but my mother held on to her, she wanted to resist but she was facing my mother, she couldn't do anything to the old man, she couldn't argue, she could only beg my mother to let go with tears in her eyes. There were more and more onlookers, my mother's scolding became more and more ugly, and the onlookers also sneered and coaxed. I knew that Sister Chunxiu was so humiliated because of me, I felt sorry for him, and I also blushed for my parents' behavior.

I strode up to my mother and asked her to let go of Sister Chunxiu, at this time, my angry mother not only didn't listen to my plea but also slapped me hard, I was angry and pulled away from her hand holding Sister Chunxiu, and escorted Sister Chunxiu to rush out of the crowd. At this time, a boy who was about the same age as me threw a broken shoe on Sister Chunxiu's head, I was angry, and pushed Sister Chunxiu hard to make her walk away, and then I walked up to the boy who threw the shoe at Chunxiu with fire in my eyes and gave him a downpercut, the boy did not show weakness, he also punched me in the face hard, and then the two of us scuffled together like crazy. When the two of us were inseparable, a few children from the boy's gang stepped forward to pull a broken hand, and seeing that I was about to be beaten down by them, a few friends who were good with me rushed over to help me beat them, and just like that, a dozen and a half boys started a group fight in my yard. Just when there was a commotion in the courtyard, a police car stopped outside the door, and seven or eight policemen dressed in black rushed into the courtyard, and then we stopped.

A stocky police boss asked loudly, 'Which of you is Cui Fengming?' No one spoke in the courtyard. When the policeman asked again, there was still no answer. At this time, I walked up to him like a man, and said with a fearless face that I was Cui Fengming.

The police boss looked me up and down a few times and then slapped me with a wave of his hand, and I asked him why he was beating, and he said aggressively: 'You almost beat my eldest brother to death last night, what's wrong with my TAMA beating you?' I'll take care of you when I go back to the police station in a while! At this point, several policemen came up and handcuffed me.

'Sir, my child is small and ignorant, so I beg you to let him go!' When my mother saw that I was really going to be arrested, she cried and pleaded for me in front of the police chief.

'Old woman, your son is jealous of women, and beats people half to death. Is he still young? Get the hell out of here! The police leader stared at my mother and pushed my mother away, and my mother was so frightened that she couldn't speak anymore, and I was taken out of the hospital and thrown into the police car. When the police car drove away, I looked out of the window and saw Sister Chunxiu chasing after the police car. ”

Wang Hongju was fascinated by what he was listening to, but Cui Fengming suddenly stopped talking about it. He urged Cui Fengming and said, "Company commander, you haven't finished talking yet, keep talking."

Cui Fengming asked Wang Hongju a little confused: "I always think that I was a half-grown kid back then. Sister Chunxiu is already a wife, do you think the love between men and women between me and Sister Chunxiu can be regarded as pure love? ”

"I haven't really touched a woman, and I haven't tasted love, but I think the story of you and Sister Chunxiu is quite poignant, and I am very touched by the pure love between the two of you."

Wang Hongju did not answer the question directly, but Cui Fengming understood the meaning of his words. He said to himself: "It doesn't matter if it's pure or not, anyway, the two of us really loved each other at that time, and since we love each other, there is a reason to love each other." Right? ”

"Company Commander Cui, keep talking, we haven't heard enough yet."

Only then did Wang Hongju realize that there were several wounded and sick people listening to the story around them. A wounded man stopped talking when he saw Cui Fengming. He politely handed over a cigarette, and another wounded man poured him a glass of water, and Cui Fengming continued.

"My basket was so big that I was locked up in the police station for more than a month before I was released. My family is having a hard time. My family had to pay for the medical expenses of the peanut skin, and my mother borrowed money to make up the medical expenses. My father was half paralyzed, but this time he was so angry with me that he couldn't move, and my mother was in tears all day. I have a younger sister. She was in junior high school at the time, and her family owed a lot of money because she had to pay for her father, who was seriously ill in bed, after paying for the medical expenses of peanut skin. My sister dropped out of school because of this, and I was very upset. At that time, I had to work hard to earn money to make up for the losses I caused to my family, and I also wanted to calm my impetuous heart temporarily, so I gradually cut off my contact with Sister Chunxiu. ”

At this time, a wounded man interjected and said: "Company Commander Cui, Sister Chunxiu is so good to you, it's not right for you to forget about others!" ”

"To be honest, I thought about whether my relationship with Sister Chunxiu was normal, and I tried to forget her, but the truth is that I can't forget her! At that time, I worked hard to earn money for my father's treatment and continue to provide for my sister's education, and secondly, to save enough money to elope with Sister Chunxiu in the future. But after a few months, I worked hard to earn enough money to pay for my father's medical treatment! Later, I heard from a friend who came back from Northeast China that there were more large factories in Northeast China, and it was easier to find a job there and the salary was higher, so I had the idea of going to Northeast China to make a living.

On the day I left Beiping, I took a piece of flower cloth from home and waited for her at Sister Chunxiu's residence, and I waited for a long time for her to come home. Sister Chunxiu looked very happy to see me, and she hurriedly pulled me into the house. We haven't seen each other for some days, and Sister Chunxiu is very sad about this, she touched my face and said, "Fengming, you haven't come to see me for months, I thought you forgot your sister." I hugged her tightly and said, 'Good sister, I will never forget you for the rest of my life!' I saw that she had lost a lot of weight and had thin crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. I asked her why she lost weight, I asked her to cry, she said that the days without me are so lonely, she often dreams of being with me in her dreams, but when she wakes up, the side is empty, and said that in Juxian Building, she is often harassed by peanut skin and others, and she can't stand this kind of day. When she heard that I was going to go to Guanwai to break into the world, she was going to go with me, so I told Sister Chunxiu that I would go to Guanwai first to see the situation, and if I could make a lot of money, I would come back and pick her up immediately, and Sister Chunxiu agreed.

I didn't go home that night and stayed at Sister Chunxiu's. The next morning, before leaving, I stuffed the flower cloth into Sister Chunxiu's hand, and told her that I was going to the world, and asked her to take care. Chunxiu reluctantly grabbed me, she said with red eyes: "Feng Ming, I can see that you are a good man, and you must be a man who stands up to the sky in the future!" Sister knows that it's hard to say if you go back or not. If you still have my sister in your heart, you will come back and take me away; If you forget me, I will not resent you. You don't owe me anything, sister, as long as you don't forget that there was once a woman named Chunxiu who had a good time with you. Chunxiu had tears on her face when she spoke, and I couldn't bear to see her sad look, so I nodded at her and hurriedly turned around and left, without even looking back. After I arrived in the Northeast, I realized that life in the Northeast was not as good as in Kannai, and the money I earned in those factories was just enough to eat by myself except for sending some to my family, so I didn't take Sister Chunxiu to live with me in the Northeast. In the second year of my work in Northeast China, the Japanese devils surrendered, and a large number of Communist troops appeared in that place, and I had a master who was an underground Communist Party, and under his guidance I joined the Communist Party. Since then, every day except for military training and political classes, it is to fight, and the promise I once made to Sister Chunxiu has become an empty word, and now I think that I should have taken her with me at that time. In the past few years, I always felt that I had hurt her, and this is all because I was young and ignorant at the time, and I didn't dare to take responsibility for what I did, and now I take regret medicine every day! Hey, do you think Sister Chunxiu will hate me in her heart? Cui Fengming looked up at everyone and asked.

Wang Hongju said: "Company Commander Cui, don't feel guilty! Sister Chunxiu doesn't think you owe her anything, wait for me to find her when I enter Beiping, and bring you a greeting. ”

Cui Fengming said thoughtfully: "I don't think she can be in Juxian Building, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out about her." But wherever she is, I will find her, and I will marry her in the name of justice. ”

"Don't dream of marrying Sister Chunxiu, people have in-laws."

"She is angry and oppressed in her in-law's family, his man is a wasted person, Sister Chunxiu is living with such a person! What's wrong with a woman remarrying? I must find her, I will atone for my sins, I will marry her, I will give her happiness! Cui Fengming said and waved his only remaining arm vigorously.

Wang Hongju felt that Commander Cui's words were also reasonable, and he nodded in understanding.

"Wang Hongju, I still have something to ask you, when I joined the team, I ran out of my house with a few classmates, and I haven't been home since. After entering Beiping, I would like you to visit my old parents, they are old and sick, especially my father is sick and bedridden all the year round, but I have not been around to do my filial piety, I don't know if his old man is still alive? Confucius once said: Parents are not far away. I'm an unfilial son! ”

Wang Hongju comforted him and said: "This is something that cannot be helped, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both." You just have filial piety in your heart. ”

When sending Wang Hongju out of the ward, Cui Fengming asked: "Wang Hongju, I think that in this battle to liberate Tianjin, you performed very bravely, withstood severe tests, and completely met the standards of a Communist Party member. After this battle, I don't know if the party branch approved you to join the party? ”

Hearing Cui Fengming's question, Wang Hongju's mood became low, and he said helplessly: "The instructor talked to me, saying that I was born in a bureaucratic bourgeois family and that I had not yet completely moved closer to the proletariat in terms of ideology and life style, and he asked me to continue to reform my petty-bourgeois thinking and accept further organizational tests. ”

Cui Fengming shook his head helplessly after hearing this: "This Li Qiming! The same abandonment of family and business, the same spilling of blood are all comrades in the revolutionary ranks! Why can't it be seen the same way? One cannot choose what family a person is born in, but the path is one's own. I have always had differences with Li Qiming's deep-rooted ideology of materialism, and his narrow-mindedness will hurt the revolutionary enthusiasm of some comrades and hinder his own progress. When I am discharged from the hospital, I will definitely talk to him! ”

"This can't be completely blamed on the instructor, I still have many places that do not meet the standards of party members, so let's work hard in the future!" Wang Hongju saw that Cui Fengming was a little unhappy, and was busy playing the round.

It was not early, Wang Hongju said goodbye to Cui Fengming and hurried back to the company. A few days later, Wang Hongju's unit rushed to Beiping like a torrent of steel. (To be continued......)
