Chapter 42: A Thousand Miles to Move

Soon the whole country launched a vigorous study and rectification campaign, and our school also carried out a corresponding study and rectification campaign, and a few teachers who liked to publish negative propaganda on current politics did not pass the test in this study, education, and evaluation, and were criticized by everyone, and their ideological understanding was improved with the help of everyone. This campaign has touched everyone very much, and it warns everyone to be modest and cautious at all times, and must not be arrogant, forgetful, unobtrusive, unorganized, undisciplined, or even bold and reckless, and do something out of the ordinary.

Soon, the school was ordered to move to Shun City, Puyang Province, and merged with the Shun City Military District Cadre School, still known as the Third Preparatory School.

In 1957, the Thousand Miles Movement began. Moving is a troublesome matter, and there are dozens of cars, including personnel, household goods, teaching desks, stools, cabinets, etc. It is more than 550 kilometers from Fengming Village near Chuncheng to Shun City, Puyang Province, which is not well organized and will be chaotic.

The school is organized into three groups: the school department, the training department, and the logistics department, and the same is true for the sequence, with materials first and then personnel, and a logistics chief with more than 10 instructors to go to the front station in order to settle the barracks.

The training department first moves the teaching equipment, such as tables, stools, cabinets, instruments and equipment. Escorting, loading and unloading, this errand fell on me and Wang Yi. After a few days of packing, loading, and then pulled to Fengming Village Station by car, a long train has already stopped at the fork in the road, fortunately, there are still many students who have not had a holiday, everyone is loaded into the car according to the number of the object, and after the acceptance of the escort personnel on the station one by one, the door is closed, sealed, and marched to Chuncheng, and after the visa of the Military Management Office of Chuncheng Station, it drove to Zhan County.

Assistant Wang Yi and I bought some bread, biscuits, etc., filled two jugs of water, and didn't get out of the car after getting into the car. We sat in the last carriage of escorts, bragging with the old escort on the train, and it was not lonely, but the weather was too cold, and it was unbearably cold in the second half of the night. Trains do not stop at small and medium-sized stations, day and night.

The next day, when we arrived in Zhanxian County, dozens of cars from the 15th Automobile Regiment were already waiting by the platform, and Director Wang of the front station arranged for us to have a hot meal and hot food, and then unloaded the goods from the train according to our numbering order, and then loaded them onto the cars, and each car was numbered again and drove to the side of the highway in turn. Especially those physical and chemical instruments and medicines (many of which are dangerous, such as flammable and explosive substances such as acids and alkalis), we pay great attention to them, because a little carelessness will cause a big accident!

When reloading the car, we asked for a thick layer of straw on the car to absorb shock, and the instruments and chemicals were shipped separately, and I am really grateful to the stevedores for unloading the car carefully and carefully with the attitude of ownership. I kept shouting, "Please be careful, be careful." Handle gently, handle gently. "These precious treasures were hard to buy even if they were rich at that time!

The number on each car is listed in detail the name and quantity of the object, and the things of the training department alone are loaded with more than a dozen cars, plus the school department and the logistics department, a total of dozens of large trucks, which are only loaded when it is dark, and the long parked cars on the road in Zhanxian County are like a long line, after checking again, they took the pass and set off, and the automobile regiment has a deputy leader of the regiment, and Assistant Wang and I each carried a gun and got into their respective cars.

The car followed the long mountain road. I didn't dare to be paralyzed in the slightest, and whenever the car was filled with water (this old "antique" had to drink water from time to time), I would come down and check to see if there was anything abnormal.

I heard that there are bandits on the road from time to time, and the public order is not good, although after the baptism of major storms such as "land reform" and "suppression of rebellion", it is difficult to ensure that the outlaws do not take risks to cause sabotage. You can close your eyes during the day, but you don't dare to relax at night, you can't leave the gun, the gun doesn't leave the bullet, Wang Yi and I are very vigilant.

The highway in Puyang Province has steep slopes, sharp bends, and light rain, poor sight, and narrow roads, especially from Puxian County, Qing County to Zhen County. A car was driven by two young men in turn, and they scolded the ghost weather as a widow's face, gloomy, and raining non-stop, and complained that the road was a life-threatening road, and they cursed angrily that the "" had no strength to walk. Scolding and scolding, you have to be patient and use perseverance to drive this broken car. On the fifth day, the car came from the reckless plateau to the flat dam of Shun City, and it was not far from the county seat that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, we arrived at the destination, Xiguan Town, Shun City, ---- school, and the head of the logistics department saw that the team car had arrived, and warmly shook hands with us. The dean of the training department, seeing that the physical and chemical instruments were well packaged and not damaged in the slightest, gratefully held the hands of me and Assistant Wang, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you!" "We have finally lifted our weight and successfully completed our mission.

After settling down in Shunshi, wait for the students to enroll.

Shun City is a relatively good city in Puyang Province, with coal (anthracite) underground and rich mineral resources. The city is small, with only a narrow street less than 100 meters long, and there are not many shops, but there are many snack bars. The population of Shunshi City is not large, and the supply is oversupply (especially agricultural products and non-staple foods), and on the market day, chickens, eggs, mutton, pork, game, vegetables, etc., are all over the stalls. There are two ethnic stores, and the shelves are relatively simple. Three kilometers away from the city, the railway station is being built, after the opening of Guidian Road, Shun City is very promising.

The Third Preparatory School is adjacent to the military sub-district, and they respect each other and are courteous. Our football team is often their opponent, and the game is constant and the friendship is strengthened.

There is a famous mountain not far from the preparatory school, called Admiralty Mountain, the trees on the mountain are lush, the strange rocks are craggy, from a distance, it looks like a tilting Admiralty. The mountain is not high, there are many stones, the stones are engraved with the true handiwork of many celebrities, all of them are big square characters, there are also cursive scripts, and the three big characters of "Admiralty Mountain" are engraved vertically on a huge big stone, which is very magnificent. There is an ancient temple on the top of the mountain, which is decadent and barren, there is no incense for a long time, and of course the monk has long been gone.

After arriving in Shunshi, the school was not opened, and there was nothing to do, so I strengthened self-study. I re-read the "Manifesto" and carefully read "On the Socialist Economic Question". In addition, learn your own professional knowledge: chemistry tutorials, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis, etc., supplement nutrition, strengthen revolutionary beliefs, and lay a good foundation for doing a good job.

When I left the third speed, An Shaojuan made a special trip from the cadre school of the Nanzhao Provincial Military Region to see me off and gave me a photo of her in the art troupe as a souvenir. When I was in the preparatory school of Fengming Village, I kept sending her letters, and she wrote more than me. After arriving in Anshun, I immediately wrote to her, one to report her safety, and the other to express my lovesickness.

Thinking of the days of more than half a year in Bajun South Hot Springs, lingering and longing arise spontaneously, how can I forget: the double yacht on the flower stream, the perched and long chat in the fairy cave, the frolicking and playing in the Kai-shek villa, which girl is not pregnant with spring? She is so enthusiastic and unrestrained, full of youthful atmosphere. She left the Ba County advanced study class and returned to Nanzhao Province first, and when she left, she had already revealed her heart to me, but I did not "answer" and did not have the courage to courting him in time, and the result was delayed again and again. Now that I have arrived in Teluk Intan and the lovesickness is increasing day by day, I made an "application" to her ---- courtship, and she wrote back and said, "...... Comrade Gadfly, it's too late......".

I looked at the letter in a daze! ……

Later, she introduced me to two girlfriends, and I didn't appreciate it. She was so angry that she scolded me: "It's more gadfly than a gadfly, what a goose." "She transferred to the Lantern Troupe in Yuxi Prefecture, and I always went to play with her on business trips or officers' vacations. She introduced me to a beautiful woman from the troupe (who was older), and I didn't approve of it, she knew that I was already "in the wood" for her. So she "scolded" me again, saying, "You only deserve to be beaten forever...... single." ”

Hey, it's really loveless, love is not over, to borrow Lu You's words, "The brocade book is difficult to trust, Mo, Mo, Mo." "Hey, my "goose!" I don't know where to be.

A few years later, An Shaojuan left Wucheng with her husband.
