Cui Fengming has been recuperating in the hospital for more than two months, which is like being confined for more than two months. While recuperating from his injuries, he received a letter from Wang Hongju from Beiping before he went south, in which he told Cui Fengming that his old father had died of illness half a year ago, and he had left with his name in mind; His mother is still alive and is being cared for by his sister. In addition, Chunxiu no longer works in Juxianlou Restaurant, and after several inquiries, she has not received accurate information from her.

After reading this letter, Cui Fengming's heart was very uncomfortable. He didn't want to stay in the hospital to recuperate, and his only thought was to return to the team to fight immediately, and he approached the dean and asked to be discharged. The director of the field hospital was an old scholar with gray hair, and his glasses as thick as the bottom of a bottle were always low on the tip of his nose. When he saw Cui Fengming breaking into his office and making a fuss about being discharged, he slowly stood up from behind the desk and walked in front of Cui Fengming, and looked at Cui Fengming carefully from the frame of his glasses with bloodshot eyes, as if he was studying something that interested him. Cui Fengming was furious by Dean Fang's strange eyes, he didn't have the confidence he had when he first entered the office, and forced a smile to try to please the dean, who knew that Dean Fang said lightly: "You are an injured person who was amputated, and you can't be discharged from the hospital now according to the regulations." After that, no matter how soft and hard Cui Fengming was, he just repeated this sentence. Later, when he saw Cui Fengming in the office without leaving, he simply picked up a medical book and looked like no one was around, and left Cui Fengming aside. Almost every day, Dean Fang encounters wounded people like Cui Fengming who are about to be discharged from the hospital before they have recovered from their injuries, and he believes that the most effective way to deal with these people is to turn a blind eye to them and ignore them.

Cui Fengming saw that the dean ignored his love, and although he was holding back his anger, he couldn't make trouble if he wanted to, so he returned to the ward listlessly. At this time, even lying on the hospital bed for a minute was unbearable for him, and he wanted to escape, so he quietly picked up his backpack and slipped out of the hospital room while others were not paying attention, and he was caught by the guards and pressed on the hospital bed as soon as he walked out of the hospital door. There was no way, Cui Fengming spent some time in bed for a while. When he was discharged from the hospital, the organization told Cui Fengming that he was now a disabled soldier and had lost his combat capability, and that he would be arranged to work in the local area. Although he was reluctant to leave the combat life of the army, he had to obey the organization's arrangements. Cui Fengming, a native of Peking and with an old mother to take care of at home, was organized and arranged to serve as the vice principal and teacher of a school for revolutionary disabled servicemen in Beiping.

After returning to Beiping, Cui Fengming's work was relatively leisurely, and he did everything possible to inquire about Chunxiu's news after work, and he almost walked in to the restaurant to ask if there was a woman named Chunxiu. At that time, the identity of the revolutionary soldier was the idol pursued by many girls, although the heroic Cui Fengming had a broken arm, there was no shortage of suitors, and the organization introduced him to several objects, including many young, beautiful and educated girls, but they were all rejected by Cui Fengming for various reasons. Cui Fengming thinks that no matter how difficult it is, he has to find Chunxiu, and if he can't find Chunxiu, he would rather never marry. I don't know how many times he saw Chunxiu in his dreams, but when he woke up, he only brought endless melancholy.

Chunxiu did not leave Beiping. Since Cui Fengming left Beiping, Chunxiu felt that she couldn't do anything empty, and Cui Fengming's shadow was dangling in front of her when she was lonely and bored. That passionate night, the young, simple, kind and somewhat willful Cui Fengming has been deeply imprinted in her heart and will never fade.

In Juxian Building, the lustful peanut skin is still entangled with Chunxiu, and Chunxiu resolutely dissociates with him. Peanut Skin refused to let go easily, he kept threatening and luring Chunxiu to tell him to submit, and in desperation, Chunxiu had no choice but to leave Juxian Building. After leaving Juxian Building, Chunxiu found another restaurant to work in the back kitchen. At this time, Chunxiu suddenly felt that her body had reacted, often dizzy, nauseous, and weak, and soon she found that her belly was slowly getting bigger, and she was pregnant. Faced with her pregnancy, Chunxiu was very nervous, she only slept with two men in Beiping, one was peanut skin, and the other was Cui Fengming, I don't know who the child in her belly belongs to. At first, Chunxiu wanted to find someone to kill the child, but she later changed her mind, because according to her own estimates, the child should be Feng Mingdi's, and she wanted to keep the child. The restaurant owner saw Chunxiu's belly getting bigger day by day, and her work seemed very clumsy, and she couldn't do it with a little effort, so he fired her. However, this boss still has some conscience and gave Chunxiu half a month's salary.

Chunxiu cut off her source of livelihood when she had nothing to do, and it didn't take long for her to run out of money, and she couldn't even pay the rent in embarrassment. She wanted to go back to her hometown in Shandong, but she had a stomach and no face to go back, at this time Chunxiu felt that she was at a loss, how much she needed a man's shoulder to lean on! But there was no man who could help her. When she returned home, she saw that her belongings were placed under the eaves outside the house, and a new tenant lived in the house, which was an eviction order from the landlord. Chunxiu, who had a strong temperament, didn't say anything, picked up his luggage and turned to leave. It was the midwinter wax moon in Beiping, and Chunxiu begged for food during the day against the biting cold wind, and slept in the doorway of the big house wrapped in a torn quilt at night. Although life is difficult, there is a kind of thought supporting Chunxiu: no matter how hard and difficult it is, you must live tenaciously, you must give birth to a child and raise it as an adult, and Chunxiu is suffering day by day for this thought.

On the morning of the 23rd day of the lunar month, the heavy snow that had fallen all night still did not stop, and the snow flakes were fluttering all over the world. Two vermilion gates in an alley squeaked open, and an elderly servant came out with a broom to sweep the snow. A road down. Frightened, he threw away his broom and turned around and ran back into the courtyard.

When everyone heard the noise, they hurriedly came out of the courtyard to watch, only to see a woman curled up on the ground with a broken quilt wrapped in a mantle in the doorway. The woman's eyes were closed, her face was like a blank sheet of paper, and her hair and eyebrows were covered with thick frost. Someone stepped forward and pushed the woman a few times, only to feel that her body was hard and motionless. I don't know who said: "Today is the New Year, and it's unlucky to lie on the road at the door!" Carry the dead man somewhere else. Several people stepped forward to lift the woman lying on the ground, and when everyone lifted the broken quilt, they saw that the woman was pregnant.

Mrs. Su, the hostess of this courtyard, walked out of the courtyard gate after hearing the movement, and everyone hurriedly shouted "Mrs." and flashed aside. Mrs. Su leaned over and looked at the woman lying on the ground with a big belly, shook her head and sighed, "Amitabha! Whose woman is so miserable, she lost two lives at once. She folded her sad hands and closed her eyes tightly, and her mouth kept muttering scriptures such as Nam Mu Amitabha. At this moment, the woman lying on the ground suddenly moved, and a slight gasp came out of her mouth. It turns out that this woman is still alive! Mrs. Su hurriedly asked her men to carry the woman into the courtyard, and found a room where no one lived and put her down. Mrs. Su found a thick old quilt for the woman to cover, and asked someone to find a briquette stove and set up a chimney in the house to light a fire. When the room was warmed, the woman slowly woke up. Mrs. Su was busy and asked her to boil a bowl of ginger syrup for her to drink, and the woman's face gradually became bloody and she was able to speak.

The woman who was saved by Mrs. Su was none other than Chunxiu. Chunxiu didn't get anything to eat during the day, and after dark, she was exhausted and curled up in the door of the Su family to rest. Who knew that in the middle of the night, there was goose feather snow in the sky, the weather was cold and biting, Chunxiu, who had not eaten for a day, fainted in front of Su's house under hunger and cold, and if he was not rescued by Mrs. Su in time, he might have died.
