Chapter Seventy-One: Introduction

After the armistice of the Korean War, the general task of the Chinese Volunteers was to continue to strengthen combat readiness, do a good job in military and political training, improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, resolutely safeguard the Korean Armistice Agreement, defend the socialist construction of China and the DPRK, and be ready to smash the actual events that the enemy may launch at any time. Second, we will continue to enhance unity with the DPRK people, assist the DPRK people in their economic recovery and construction, and contribute to the reconstruction of their homeland.

During the interval between combat readiness training, various units of the Chinese People's Volunteers helped the Korean people rebuild their homes and resume production on the ruins of the war. The slogan put forward by the troops, "Ensuring that not a single acre of land is wasted," helped the Korean people to carry out productive work such as plowing land, planting rice, delivering dung, hoeing weeds, harvesting, and farming. "It also helped the North Korean people to build dams, dig wells, build bridges, build ditches, build houses, schools, and plant trees.

Under the leadership of the Workers' Party and the government headed by Kim Il Sung, the DPRK people are full of busy production and construction. Pyongyang and other big cities, through the efforts of the Chinese and North Korean military and civilians, have begun to show their scale, with high and low buildings scattered in order, wide roads neat and clean, shops lining the streets, bustling with the masses of the people, the roaring sound of factory machines, and workers racing against time to work, and everyone responding to the call of the Workers' Party to be vanguard and model and make more contributions to the country.

The vast rural fields are leveled, the new houses are arranged in an orderly manner, and although the winter is not over, the seeds supported by China have been in place, and the farmers are happily preparing for the spring planting. Under the leadership of Kim Il Sung, the DPRK has set off an unprecedented construction of the motherland, both in the cities and in the countryside*!

The Volunteer Army lasted five years from the armistice on July 27, 1953 to July 27, 1958. The railway soldiers of the Volunteer Army helped the DPRK repair more than 300 railway lines and railway stations, so that the DPRK's transportation was restored to the pre-war level. The engineers of the Chinese People's Volunteers also went all out to devote themselves to the reconstruction of Pyongyang, Hamhung, Wonsan, and other cities, and undertook the construction of public facilities such as office buildings, hospitals, and schools.

In the five years after the war, the Chinese Volunteers helped the Korean people build 881 public places, more than 45,000 private houses, restore and build 4,260 bridges of various kinds, and build 4,096 embankments, with a total length of nearly 430 kilometers. 2,195 large and small canals, more than 1,200 kilometers long; More than 36 million trees were planted, 63,000 tons of various materials were transported, and 1.88 million people were treated.

Because Li Furu was in poor health, the superior chief arranged to return to China early for treatment. Hu Yu commanded the troops to conduct military training, and in order to prevent the enemy from abiding by the armistice agreement, he dug trenches and repaired bunkers. In addition, it is necessary to help the villagers to plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn, and cultivate the land to cultivate the soil and make dams. Hu Yu also looks like an old farmer, often working in the fields with his trouser legs in his hands. In the last few days, I may have been too tired, always coughing and coughing, and I woke up at night and couldn't sleep well. The guard Xiao Li felt it and persuaded him to go to the Pyongyang hospital for a check-up, but he felt that he had a cold and was cold, so he resolutely did not go to the hospital. After dragging on for a few days, the sputum coughed up was bloodshot. Due to the recovery from the Korean War, medical equipment cannot be produced in the country.

The head of the headquarters asked him to return to China for treatment, and this time he happily obeyed the leader's arrangement. I gave my job an explanation, and only took the guard Xiao Li with me. After taking the train back to China, he returned to China smoothly and was admitted to the hospital of Beijing University.

The reality was that the war was over, and he had more contact with his comrades-in-arms at home. I learned that almost all of them have wives and children, and some have two or three children. After being a soldier for so many years, I have experienced too many lives and deaths. Soldiers cherish hard-won peace more than ordinary people, and it seems that they understand better that the road to peace is paved with the blood of their comrades-in-arms.

Xiaoyu lost contact after returning to China, and he didn't know that the doctors and nurses who had returned to China earlier had been demobilized. Simply think that when you return to China to be hospitalized and see a doctor, some people are looking for someone from time to time. After returning to China, I learned that they had been demobilized, and it was too difficult to find people in the vast sea of people. It is necessary to find the unit to which the returnees are assigned in order to know where they are assigned. But there is a system in the hospital, and there is a special person to take care of a senior leader like him, who does not leave 24 hours a day, and he often cries and laughs!

There is a small garden in the hospital, and Hu Yu often goes for a walk. The hospitalized here are all soldiers, and most of them don't know each other. Hu Yu sometimes talks to them about the mountains, and sometimes he is in a bad mood, so he doesn't pay attention to people even if they call them; Especially when he saw a child coming to visit the patient, he held the child in one hand and kissed me and me there, which was the worst time for him.

Once, he saw a couple sitting next to each other, and the child sitting on the man's lap, teasing the child affectionately. His fire didn't hit anywhere, and walked directly to the couple: "This is the hospital, pay attention to the impact?" Make love back to your room! ”

The two husbands and wives were stunned by him, and it took a while to relieve. The man handed the child to the woman and hugged him, stood up and pushed him on the shoulder: "Why don't we pay attention to the impact?" My wife and I tease my son about your? Spirits! ”

Hu Yu ignored and grabbed three points: "You are immoral." ”

The man was so angry that he pushed Hu Yu hard, almost knocking Hu Yu down. Hu Yu also rushed forward, seeing that the two were about to fight. The people sitting around rushed up and pulled the two apart. When Hu Yu heard someone call him Division Commander Li, he thought to himself: "What's so great about the division commander, I'm still the army commander?" ”

Hu Yu was huffed and walked to the ward by the arm of the little nurse, but was blocked by a person. Just about to get angry, the person opposite cracked his mouth, "Ha! Hah!" laughed: "Old Hu! Didn't expect that, right? ”

Li Boru fell ill during the Long March, and Shiji arranged for him to return to China early for treatment. Because the two are not treated in the same department, they have never met. Just now, Li Furu heard someone arguing here, and heard what looked like Hu Yu's voice from a distance. wanted to come over to see what was going on, and it happened that Hu Yu walked back angrily. When they met, they were a little surprised. Hu Yu is a man of temperament, and it was the army that trained him to be a straight pipe. Holding the hands of his old comrades-in-arms, he had already forgotten about the quarrel just now. Said: "Didn't expect us to be in a hospital? What a surprise to me? ”

Li Boru was also a little excited, cultural people are always more reserved in appearance. These two old comrades-in-arms have been cooperating with each other for more than 20 years; Although there are differences in work, they can still respect and care for each other like old friends, and they are also models in the PLA troops! He said: "I am a gastroenterologist with a stomach disease, and you are an old injury and a surgeon, of course you can't touch it." If I knew that you would also return to China for medical treatment, I would have come to see you earlier. ”

The two chatted all the way to Hu Yu's ward. Li Boru told Hu Yu that his illness had been cured and he was now fat. In the next few days, I was ready to be discharged from the hospital and reported back to the General Staff. My wife also came to Beijing, she is pregnant with her second child, and now she is temporarily living in the guest house of the General Staff Department. At the moment, this is Hu Yu's heart disease, as soon as Li Boru mentioned his wife and children, Hu Yu's heart seemed to be poked and hurt a little.

Li Furu was talking, and saw Hu Yu's face suddenly change, as if he was in pain. Thinking that his old wound was painful, he hurriedly called the nurse outside to find a doctor. Hu Yu waved his hand and refused, in order to cover up the embarrassment on the surface, he took a sip of water. Only then did Hu Yu notice Li Furu, his face was whiter and rudder than before, and his body was a lot fatter, unlike the thin ones in the past, as if they could be blown down by the wind.

The two old comrades-in-arms seemed to have something to say, and the nurses outside were worried that the chief would rest and come in. Suddenly, Li Boru changed his tone and asked, "How about personal problems?" How's that with what light rain? ”

Hu Yu frowned slightly. It's the last thing he's willing to touch, and it's a shame to talk about. Although he likes Xiaoyu from the bottom of his heart, he also believes that Xiaoyu is his wife, and he is determined not to marry her. The actual situation is that he and Xiaoyu haven't been in love for a day. When he was in Korea, Liang Guocheng was wounded and captured, which was a gratifying thing for his rival; For his comrades-in-arms, and it is sad, not to mention that he is still the head of the army. He loves Xiaoyu, and on the way to the train, he feels that Xiaoyu likes him, so he can take care of him. He felt that his conditions were much better than that of a hairy young man; Except for being a little older, that is, a little bit of yourself!

In North Korea, she helped Xiaoyu find Liang Guocheng, not to fulfill them. Instead, he wants to reflect the considerate side of men, so that Xiaoyu feels that he is more gentle and caring than young people. also wanted Xiaoyu to love him more, and automatically gave up Liang Guocheng and threw himself into his arms. How did he know that the war would end so soon, and Xiaoyu escorted the seriously wounded back home and transferred to local work. He immediately plunged his troops into the busy task of digging trenches, repairing bunkers, and preparing for combat readiness in case the enemy provoked another war. Although there has been no smoke of gunpowder in the past few years, the troops have completed the unimaginable preparations for war and helped the Korean people rebuild their homeland.

Hu Yu shook his head gently, "Alas! He sighed.

Li Furu saw that there was no follow-up. He said to him, "That nurse out there has a younger sister who graduated from college and is now a teacher. I especially worship heroes, I told you about your heroic deeds, and people have thoughts and hearts to see you. Because I don't know what Xiaoyu is going to be with you, it's not good for me to agree casually. Now that you're back, there's no sign over there, would you like to see it? ”

Although Hu Yu was thinking about Xiaoyu in his heart, in reality Xiaoyu had been demobilized; If you are still working in the army and locked in the medical system, how can you find it. What is in front of us is demobilization, 9.6 million square kilometers, and it is possible to go to any place, and the troops and localities are not the same leader, and it is difficult to coordinate across systems, and it is too difficult to find a person in the vast sea of people. Hu Yu was a little hesitant and a little undecided. He was worried that he agreed here, in case he suddenly found Xiaoyu, he couldn't serve the girl here. But if you don't agree, you won't be able to find Xiaoyu if you really can't find it; This is her ideal college student. Just now, when he and Li Boru were walking back, he saw the nurse talking to Li Boru. The length is also beautiful, and the figure is also outstanding. If you miss it and can't find the light rain, that's the mold.

Li Boru saw Hu Yu's hesitation, and he also knew why he hesitated. In his opinion, Xiaoyu doesn't even have a shadow now, and Hu Yu's hesitation is that he doesn't have much hope for Xiaoyu, and he is interested in the college students he said. He strikes while the iron is hot now, and he will definitely be able to make good happen!

Li Boru deliberately provoked him with words: "Now that we are liberated, men and women are equal." You choose a girl, and a girl chooses you, but other girls may not be able to take a fancy to you? ”

Hu Yu was unconvinced all his life, and when he heard Li Boru say that the girl might not be able to take a fancy to him, he was anxious: "I'm also a handsome guy, right?" ”

Li Furu smiled and bent over: "A fifty-year-old person is no longer a young man." ”

Hu Yu blushed and said strongly: "I'm only forty-nine, not yet fifty, this is still a false age." ”
