The old lady was rolling on the bed in pain a moment ago, and at this moment she was already angry: "What are my eyes? What's my life? Are you calculating my granddaughter, are you bent on urging me to die? ”

Wen Yang was angry and anxious: "The conscience of heaven and earth!" I'm not doing this for your old man, or for our family? Mom, think about it, how many days can you have in a summer vacation? That's over in the blink of an eye! When Wei Ying and I go to work, head to the ground and feet to the sky all day long, this little baby can't eat or dress by herself, who cares? ”

The old lady roared: "Who cares?" I'll take care of it! ”

Wen Yang was incredulous: "Mom, you are so sick that you can't take care of yourself, where can you take care of the little baby?" ”

The old lady didn't listen, and when she heard it, she was even more angry: "My granddaughter, I'll take care of it!" I want to calculate my granddaughter, unless we close our eyes and cut off this breath! ”

Wen Yang's scalp tingled when he heard this: "Mom, what are you talking about?" ”

"That's it, I'll give it to you today! The sky is falling, and I want my granddaughter too! ”

"Let's go to work, what can we do?"

"Leave it to me!"

"Mom, why don't you listen to persuasion? It's impossible for your eyes to ......"

"Don't care! I am blind in my eyes, but my heart is not blind! Back then, the Japanese devils burned and killed in our Xinglong for 12 years! These bastards killed your father! I'm hiding in Tibet alone, and I still pull you up? ”

Qinghe was shocked when he heard this: "It turns out that I was born in Xinglong, Hebei!" My grandfather is still a generation of heroes! ”

Following the memory of her previous life, her little head was shocking, and she began to quickly sort out the history of Xinglong: "Xinglong County, Hebei Province, is located on the southwestern border of the puppet Manchukuo established by Japanese imperialism, and is the core of the miserable thousand-mile "no man's land" established by Japanese militarism in China. From 1933 to 1945, more than 2,000 natural villages in Xinglong were washed in blood, more than 70,000 houses were burned down, 160,000 acres of fertile land were completely abandoned, and 81% of the population was forcibly driven to 199 circles. The Japanese army and the puppet army caused as many as 100 large-scale bloody tragedies in Xinglong, and more than one-third of the county's population (55,400 people) were killed. To this day, the Memorial Hall of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression still exhibits the map of Xinglong County's "human circle" compiled by the Japanese invaders...... A tough guy like my grandfather naturally had to fight against Japanese devils and resolutely refused to enter the circle, so he was not spared. ”

Wen Yang is also reflecting on history, that is, he feels that his mother's words are reasonable, but he also feels illogical: "Mom, this time and that time ,......"

The old lady was so angry that a pair of eyes were even more bloody, she didn't care about her eyes anymore, she just wiped them with her hands casually, and insisted on saying, "Wenyang, that's it!" I'll take care of the baby! You don't need to talk nonsense! ”

Qinghe was in awe: "Grandma, it means that words count, and it means that words must be done." ”

Wen Yang understands this truth better than Qinghe. He was extremely filial, hurriedly rushed to the hall room, and handed over a whitish towel that had been used for three years and washed: "Mom, you use this to wipe it." ”

In the seventies, life was quite difficult, and even such a towel was a rare luxury.

Although the old lady's eyes were blurry and she couldn't see anything, she knew what her son said, and waved her hand: "Don't come to this set!" If you take my granddaughter well, you will be filial to me, and I will be able to live longer! ”

After saying that, the old lady could no longer support it, and since she had won a big victory, she had to withdraw quickly. She feigned anger and turned around tremblingly, intending to go back to her Westhouse.

In fact, she was bleeding from the bottom of her eyes, not only her eyes, but also her whole body, she was really sick, and she couldn't hold on for a second.

Fortunately, her eldest grandson was very sensible and had always been by his side, and when he saw his grandmother win an unprecedented victory, he took the opportunity to rush forward and made a small crutch for his grandmother.

The old lady was very happy in pain: "It's still my eldest grandson." Qingfeng, if you don't run out every day and are obedient at home, how good would it be? ”

Qingfeng heard the words and filtered them directly. He thought about the birds outside the door and the fish in the river, which were more attractive than the good baby.

Time flies like lightning, and Qinghe becomes more and more infatuated with his mother Wei Ying. It's a pity that the summer in the north is really short, and half a summer vacation is just a blink of an eye.

Just when Qinghe was so infatuated with her mother Wei Ying that she couldn't extricate herself, her mother had to abandon her because her mother needed to go to work.

Qinghe's young heart is still difficult to understand her mother's "work" - don't talk about her, in today's era, it is difficult for adults to understand.

Her mother taught Chinese and mathematics in three grades and six classes by herself, including more than 50 students in several villages in the western part of Anziling Township, Xinglong County, Hebei Province, and was also the class teacher. I am busy all day long, and I have no time to spend with my children.

When Wei Ying left, the sky was just numb and bright, and Qinghe was sleeping soundly. When he woke up and found that there was no mother by his side, Qinghe was extremely angry and began to cry loudly.

Grandma fumbled to pick her up and stuffed her favorite thing, the bottle.

Qinghe pushed away fiercely, and in order to protest, he starved to death without milk. She cried incessantly until she was exhausted, and then fell asleep.

When the mother returned, the stars had already begun to twinkle, and Qinghe was thirsty and hungry, and she was already half dead.

Wei Ying picked her up with tears in her eyes, and Qinghe was extremely aggrieved and began to sobble and grab.

It's a pity that her mother has been malnourished for a long time and basically has no milk water, but even so, Qinghe still got great comfort until she completely sucked up her mother's poor milk, and then looked back at the bottle with satisfaction.

When my mother was finally relieved, she put her down and started cooking on the fire, when smoke came out of the next hall.

Wei Ying's meal was not ready, Qinghe had already eaten and drunk enough, and began to reverie: "What are my brothers and sisters doing?" ”

Grandma, like her, also launched a reverie and expressed: "These two demon kings are either catching grasshoppers under the tree or touching small fish by the river. ”

Thinking of the cold water in the river, my grandmother sighed one after another: "It's still good to be a green lotus, unlike the two of them, who run crazy all day long, and go crazy up and down." ”

Qinghe couldn't speak, and secretly replied in his heart: "When I grow up, I will learn from them." But what exactly is a bump in the road? Does my family live in the mountains? Next to my house, there is a stone cliff? ”

For the outside world, Qinghe yearns for infinitely. Her longing was five hundred days, a full year and a half, and her wish was realized, and she was able to do so because of a disaster.

For these 500 days and nights, my parents, as always, wore stars in the morning and the moon in the evening, and saw no sun at either end.

In these five hundred days and nights, my brothers and sisters, as always, took advantage of my grandmother's inattention, slipped out of the chaimen, and used the advantage of their legs and feet to win daily happiness.

In these 500 days and nights, grandma, as always, groped her way to Chaimen in the morning, just to guard the pair of naughty children and grandchildren, but always ended in failure because of poor eyes.

Originally, grandma grabbed Qingfeng because of her quick hands and quick eyes: "I see you are still running there today?" Stay at home for me! ”

Qingfeng was so anxious when she heard this, her little hand pushed hard, and her grandmother lost her balance, stumbled, and shook twice after two years, and almost fell.

Qingfeng unexpectedly won easily, with surprise, with apologies, and took the second sister Qingmeng out of the door.

Grandma was defeated again, and it was inevitable that she would be resentful.

You must know that she has a great temper, except for the eldest grandson Qingfeng, no one dares to disobey her old man.

Grandma was angry, and she couldn't go back, so she had to scold. In fact, she has always been reticent, and scolding is a way for her to relieve and communicate.

However, Qinghe still couldn't understand: "Grandma scolded her brother, scolded her sister, and then scolded their parents, it's understandable, why, listen, she actually started to scold Brother Cun?" ”

Qinghe was puzzled: "Who is Brother Cun?" Could it be, Grandpa? Archives? ”

Grandma opened the conversation box and began to answer questions: "Brother Cun, let's talk about it, but it's all your fault, I have been miserable by you in my life!" ”

"It was 1942, you were exactly forty-two years old, and it was a good time, but you said to leave, so if you left me like this, would you be better off underground?"

"At that time, in order to avoid the Japanese devils, I dragged three of them every day, held one of them, and hid in the deep mountains and old forests."

Qinghe was even more awe-inspiring when she heard this: "Grandma took her young children to hide from the Japanese devils, hiding in winter, hiding in summer, hungry and thirsty, no food or drink, no clothing, no shelter, no cover, one hiding is a few years, and being able to survive is also a great miracle of human history." ”

As she spoke, her grandmother's wet eyes filled her eyes: "Brother Cun, I dreamed of you again last night, you are still the same as before, tall and big, like a black iron tower." Just like our Wende, Wenyang, and Futang. ”

Qinghe's little brain melon turned quickly, and after a while, it suddenly became clear: "Wende is the uncle, and Futang is the lobby brother." ”

Grandma then said: "But, Brother Cun, I have been thinking about you for thirty-two years, crying for thirty-two years, and now you are finally completely blind, but why don't you have a smile in your dreams?" Still have a black face on me? ”

"Brother Cun, do you remember? Before the Japanese devils came, although we had a hard time, it was also bitter and sweet. At the end of the day, it's mainly because you're too capable, and one person has been able to beat three strong men.

At that time, we had just become married, and you took me to open up a small piece of land on the hillside, so we had three acres of hillside land. You built three adobe houses on the spot, and later we had the eldest Wende, the second Wenxing, and the third Wenyue.

Seeing that our small life is thriving, the small landlord on the southern slope is angry, not to say that you occupy his family's land and open up a barren land on the hillside of his house, so the lawsuit has been fought from the village to the county.

In the end, the county magistrate and the small landlord were protective and sentenced you to pay land rent every year. When you get the news, you are really angry, so go to the small landlord to reason.

The small landlord actually found a group of relatives to beat you up, and you completely subdued those outlaws with one enemy and five against five. Even so, there is no place to reason in that world, and we still have to pay rent to small landlords every year.

In order to live a good life, you start burning charcoal in addition to farming. You build your own charcoal kiln, and the trees you carry back from the mountain every day are thicker than the mouth of the bowl.

There is heavy snow in the sky, and the snow on the ground is up to your knees, so you carry two or three hundred catties of charcoal on your back, walk up a hundred miles of mountain roads, and go to the city to sell charcoal.

Brother Cun, capable people, I have seen a lot, but who can compare with you?

By the way, there is such one, which is Mr. Wei. ”

When Qinghe heard the words "Mr. Wei", he felt very sensitive: "By the way, my mother's surname is Wei, I don't know what the relationship between this 'Mr. Wei' and my mother is?" ”

Speaking of which, my grandmother has fallen into a deep memory, which goes deep into the bone marrow, deep into the bottom of my heart, all the way back to 36 years ago, in the spring of 1938.

Spring in the north came very late, but it still came in the end. You see, the ice water has melted, the stream has awakened, and you listen, "Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong", singing a pleasant song, with a magical rhythm, with cheerful steps, rushing forward......

The grass on the mountain stretches out the tender green seedlings, dancing happily under the spring breeze; There are also all kinds of wildflowers, red, pink, blue, and yellow, all rushing to join in the fun.

It seemed to be quiet, as if it was peaceful.

Who would have thought that such a beautiful and quiet place would already be full of murderous butcher knives?

The day was bright, and the grandmother, who was about to give birth, lay in the dark, damp cave, very anxious, because the grandfather who was farming and burning charcoal at the foot of the mountain had not returned for a long time.

Yes, the grandparents are a family of five and live in a cave.

He had lived there for five years, and since March 4, 1933, when Tang Yulin, chairman of Rehe Province, led his troops to flee without a fight, the Japanese army with 128 cavalry troops in front of the army entered Chengde without blood. Since April 21, 1933, the evil Japanese devils occupied Xinglong, set up a 'circle of people', and created a 'no man's land'; ever since my grandfather would rather die than be a slave to the country, and would rather die and hide in the mountains, the family of five has lived in this dark cave.

In fact, they are lucky enough, because even if they live in the "human circle", they will also face the destruction of their families, and the probability of survival is still very low.

The so-called "no man's land" refers to the "human circle" of the Southwest Defense Command of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the headquarters of the Japanese military police in Chengde where more than 10,000 Japanese puppet troops have been concentrated to carry out the "human circle" of "gathering families and merging villages" on the southern line of the transit of the puppet Manchuria, from Miyun Gubeikou to Shanhaiguan along the Great Wall, including Pingbei and eastern Hebei.

The Japanese puppet army carried out criss-crossing and dragnet-style search and sweep of the "no man's land", carried out the policy of "killing, robbing, and burning all the light", concentrated its efforts on destroying the anti-Japanese base areas in the mountainous areas, burned down houses and forests, and robbed all the property and livestock, in an attempt to isolate the masses here from the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, and to destroy the relationship between the army and the people, so as to achieve the goal of "fishing with all their might" and trapping the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, at that time, my grandfather and grandmother didn't understand the Communist Party or the Eighth Route Army, they only knew that they were all good people, and they sacrificed their lives to fight against Little Japan.

But it won't be long before my grandmother, who doesn't know anything about this, will plant the spark of revolution in her heart.

To make a long story short, that's it, grandpa's family of five has lived in the cave for five years, it seems that there is no end, as if there is no hope, maybe another five years, maybe ten years, but grandpa always firmly believes in one point: "Sooner or later, little Japan will always get out!" ”

There are many things that grandma can't understand, but grandma has confidence, mainly because she has confidence in grandpa: "What Brother Cun said has always been good." ”

In this way, in order to avoid the sweep of Little Japan, a family of five went out day and night.

At this moment, the sky has turned white, grandpa has not returned, grandma can no longer sleep, she looked at the three sleeping children around her, did not alarm them, she quietly put on the ragged clothes, can not be called clothes, standing tall pregnant belly, quietly climbed out of the cave, towards the hidden charcoal kiln at the foot of the mountain.

The sun had not yet come out, the morning light was already a little bright, and the grandmother turned a mountain bay and finally saw her lover.

Grandpa's tall figure was on the hillside, his head bowed, bent over, and he was working hard to weed.

Grandma's heart fell instantly, and her high vigilance instantly relaxed: "Brother Cun, it's dawn, why are you still here?" Let's go back soon. ”

Grandpa raised his head and saw grandma, still lowered his head, and continued with his hand: "Wait until I finish hoeing this field." ”

Before he finished his word "earth", he listened to the "one mile wow" under the hillside, which seemed to be human language, not human language, like animal language, and it was not comparable to animal language at all.

Grandpa didn't turn his head in a hurry, and saw the grandmother on the hillside with a white face: "Brother Cun!" Come on! Devil! ”

Yes, on the sheep intestine path at the foot of the mountain, several Japanese soldiers dressed in the color of weasel skins, each carrying a Type 38 rifle, shining in the morning light.

Wen Cun was shocked, although he ventured into farming every day, and saw the Japanese soldiers who came out to sweep several times, but he had never been so close, and his wife on the mountain was about to give birth! Further up is the cave, where his three children are located!

At the critical moment, Wen Cun only said two words: "Run!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Wen Cun was even more urgent, running to the eastern hillside away from his wife, and rushed straight away.

The group of Japanese soldiers, suddenly seeing the Chinese, seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, shouting "one mile wow" in their mouths, and rushed towards their grandfather Wencun.

The bullet was whistling in his ears, the blood was boiling in his heart, and his grandfather was running fast, although it was not as fast as the bullet, at least it was faster than that of little Japan.

He was condescending, familiar with the terrain, jumped three times and scurried twice, and saw that he had escaped into the dense forest, escaping from the encirclement of Little Japan.

Unexpectedly, Little Japan saw that the situation was not good, and there was another strange cry of "one mile wow": "Leave this man alone, catch the woman above first!" ”

Although grandpa didn't understand, when he saw the little devil turn around, he felt a chill all over his body: "It's not good, they want to harm my woman!" ”

At that moment, grandpa's brain no longer needed to think, and he had only one belief in his heart: "Kill little Japan and protect your relatives!" ”

The bullets were whistling head-on, thanks to the extremely fast running speed of the grandfather, and the mountain road was extremely rugged, and the little Japanese shuttle bullet was stunned and missed.
