Chapter 19: The Dawn Ahead
Seeing that it was about to reach September 9, 1976, Chen Zhaojun knew that this time was a delicate period. It can be said that 1949 has been the most chaotic and dark year since 1949, and at this time, if you stand on the slightest step, you will fall into a hell from which you will never recover. For this, Chen Zhaojun put a lot of thought into it. Always give some targeted examples to remind family members to be careful.
In fact, there is no need for Chen Zhaojun to remind them, Chen Weixiong and the others have also clearly felt the changes in the political climate. Fortunately, there is a saying from the old man: the army cannot be chaotic. Therefore, the difficulty of the army is now the only pure land. But this can only be relative.
。。。。。。
On the night of September 8, Chen Zhaojun was very careful, and he pointed out that according to his father's current rank, he should know the news of the death of the chairman of the * earlier than others. Sure enough, when it was almost dawn on September 9, the commander's guards knocked on the door of Chen Weixiong's house.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Zhaojun knew that the time to come had finally come. Chen Zhaojun, who hadn't slept well all night, fell into a deep sleep at this time.
Chen Weixiong and Zhang Guimei, who were awakened by the knock on the door, were surprised. It doesn't make sense that someone is knocking on the door at this time? Even if you have something to do and you have a phone at home, why don't you call us? Chen Weixiong's heart was very confused, he was really worried, before that, there were a lot of things that had been heard in the local area. Usually there is a knock on the door in the middle of the night, and as soon as the door opens, a group of young generals who are armed with each other rush up, and then they are separated from their families. What should come is still coming. Chen Weixiong calmly put on his military uniform, and was about to leave the room when Zhang Guimei spoke. She pulled open the drawer and pulled out Chan's gun.
"Lao Chen, bring a gun."
Chen Weixiong glanced at Zhang Guimei, looked at the gun in her hand again, and shook his head resolutely.
"No, in case I 。。。。。。 Halfway through the words, Chen Weixiong didn't say any more, he knew that Zhang Guimei must have understood: "You have to be careful, take care of a few children." ”
Zhang Guimei didn't speak again, her body rolled up, and the whole person got into the towel quilt.
Chen Weixiong sighed, walked out of the room quickly, came to the living room, and opened the door. When Chen Weixiong found that only the military commander's guards were talking outside the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous again. He knew that the commander must have something urgent and top-secret to inform him in this way. You must know that at that time, military telephones were still manually transferred, and the entire military department, except for the army commander and the political commissar, who each had a confidential telephone, could be monitored by using the cadres' telephones. Sometimes, in order to prevent leaks, it is necessary to notify them manually. Obviously, that's the case tonight. Chen Weixiong didn't dare to guess what was going on, and hurriedly followed the commander's guards.
Chen Weixiong didn't know that the moment he left the room, Zhang Guimei had already come out of the quilt, with her ears pricked up, listening carefully to the movement outside. After a long time (and very soon, actually), she heard the sound of the door closing carefully. Zhang Guimei's heart is a little more steady, she knows that maybe there is nothing wrong. But Zhang Guimei couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply got up and went to the kitchen by herself to start preparing breakfast for a few children.
At more than 7 o'clock, Chen Zhaojun was called up by his mother, he was very surprised, his mother, who usually only wears a military shirt at home when it is hot, suddenly dressed very neatly today, as long as he wears a military hat again, he can participate in the exchange ****.
Chen Zhaoping and the others were also very surprised, only when their mother was in a good mood or rested, they could eat the breakfast cooked by their mother. Today Mom doesn't know what's wrong, so she made breakfast for them? Just when everyone was happy that they didn't have to eat breakfast in the cafeteria, Chen Zhaoping suddenly found that his father, who usually eats breakfast together, was not here today.
"Mom, why didn't Dad come to breakfast?"
Zhang Guimei glanced at Chen Zhaoping: "What do you care about so much, eat yours quickly!" Zhang Guimei rarely spoke to the children in a tone of voice. Everyone realized that the atmosphere today was a little wrong. No one dared to speak again, honestly finished breakfast, and went to school.
The road to Chen Zhaojun's elementary school happened to pass by the guard company, that is, Chen Zhaoping's militia company, so he walked with his eldest brother. Along the way, the two brothers didn't say anything, and when they were about to reach the guard company, Chen Zhaoping couldn't help it.
"Third child, what do you say is wrong with your mother today? Unhappy to wake up early in the morning? ”
Chen Zhaojun sighed: "Big brother, you don't know, how do I know?" Let's think about how you're going to train today. ”
Chen Zhaoping sighed: "Alas, I would like to engage in military training today, but the staff officer said that studying politics today is quite annoying." ”
When Chen Zhaojun heard this, his heart moved, because he had been engaged in physics and chemistry with himself for two years, Chen Zhaoping's level of science is not low now, and it is enough to take the university entrance examination, but after a year of taking the university entrance examination, whether it is liberal arts or science, politics must be passed, and the score is very high, if Chen Zhaoping can use this opportunity to make up for politics, it would be the best. According to Chen Zhaojun's vision, it is best for his two elder brothers to devote themselves to their careers. Only in this way can we develop faster, otherwise, we don't know when we will have to wait until we think about it.
"Big brother, if you study politics, you can study politics, and when you debate at home, you can't even talk to me. Let me tell you, only if you understand Marxist philosophy, otherwise, you don't want to argue with me and my father. ”
Chen Zhaoping was not convinced when he heard it (at least he had to make foul language): "What are you, let me tell you, in the recent period, I have only looked at Marxist philosophy, I don't believe it, I will lose to you a little guy." ”
At home, Chen Weixiong and his son often debated, because everyone not only found it fun, but also learned politics (Chen Weixiong quotes), so when debating, everyone only reasoned, regardless of age. In fact, this was also a kind of atmosphere in the society at that time. But it's basically only in the society of the criticism club.
。。。。。。
Chen Zhaojun, like everyone else, honestly went on for a day, and it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon. An emergency notice was issued by the military to suspend all activities in all organs, troops, schools, factories, and shops within the military area and to listen to the broadcasts of the Central People's Radio.
This was the first time in the history of the X Army that this method was adopted, and all work within the entire X Army was completely commanded to stop and listen to the radio. Everyone didn't know what was going on, but no one dared to guess. This moment lasted until the mourning music sounded.
。。。。。。
All of them are grieving the loss of a great leader in the country outside. Among these people, of course, Chen Zhaojun is also included. No one thought that at this moment, there was still some inexplicable excitement in his heart. Because he knows that with the comeback of Comrade *, the era of reform and opening up is not far off.
