Chapter 401: Sadness

Outside the City God Temple, in a tortuous alley, there is an ordinary family.

The house is not huge, there are only two rooms in total, one is a bedroom and the other is divided into a kitchen and utility room.

A woman in her thirties was busy in the kitchen, and from time to time she had to ask loudly: "Is Tao Tao good?" ”

A milky voice came from the room: "Tao Tao is good, if Tao Tao is not good, Dad will not come to see Tao Tao." ”

"Then play with the bunny in bed, don't run around, do you hear?"

"I hear you...... Mom, I'm thirsty. ”

"Wait a little longer, Mommy will be here soon."

In more than twenty minutes, the woman cooked the food and brought it into the house. A plate of cabbage stewed tofu, a plate of pickles, a few stick noodles and potstickers, this is the lunch of the mother and daughter.

The little girl looked like she was four or five years old, with big eyes, two pigtails, and a stuffed toy rabbit in her arms.

Woman: "Tao Tao, put the rabbit down, go wash your hands, it's time to eat." ”

Tao Tao hugged the rabbit and said with tears in his eyes: "Mom, Dad hasn't been back for a long time, I miss Dad." ”

The woman put the food on the table and said, "Dad has to work, so he can't come back every day, maybe you are eating and he is back." ”

The tears of the children, come and go quickly, hearing what the mother said, immediately smiled, put down the rabbit in his hand, sat on the edge of the bed in a proper manner, and said: "Dad likes to watch Tao Tao eat the most!" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Yes, then eat more." ”

Tao Tao: "Mom, I want to drink water." ”

The woman picked up a bowl and prepared to go to the kitchen to pour water for her daughter.

"Tuk Tuk! Tuk Tuk! There was a knock on the door outside.

Tao Tao shouted happily: "It's Dad back, Dad is back!" ”

The woman walked to the door and asked, "Who?" ”

Outside the door was a man's voice: "Sister-in-law, it's me, Chang Feng." ”

The woman opened the door, and outside the door stood a young man in his twenties, carrying a package on his shoulder.

The young man bowed and said, "Hello sister-in-law." ”

"It's really you, come in and talk." The woman let him in and closed the door.

Chang Feng walked into the room, put the package on the table, picked up the little girl on the bed, and said with a smile: "Tao Tao, do you still know your uncle?" ”

Tao Tao shook his head timidly and said, "I don't know." ”

Chang Feng: "Did your little rabbit or uncle buy it for you?" Forgot? ”

Tao Tao broke free from him, ran back to the bed, hugged the stuffed rabbit tightly, and said, "The little rabbit was bought for me by my father!" ”

Chang Feng smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, I asked your father to hand it over to Tao Tao." ”

Woman: "Chang Feng, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Chang Feng opened the package, which contained a silver dollar and a stack of large bills, and said, "Sister-in-law, you put away the money." ”

The woman had a premonition that something was wrong, and asked nervously, "Why did you suddenly give me so much money, what happened?" Where's your brother Zichuan? ”

Chang Feng said with a solemn face: "Brother Tao, he ...... sacrificed. ”

The bowl in the woman's hand fell to the ground with a 'snap' and broke into two pieces, she staggered back a few steps, leaned against the wall, and tears fell with a brush.

Chang Feng persuaded: "Sister-in-law, you have to mourn, don't scare Tao Tao." ”

The woman turned her back and leaned against the wall, her shoulders swaying, covering her mouth and weeping silently.

She knew that her husband had already put life and death aside for the sake of the revolution, and Tao Zichuan had told his wife more than once that if something happened to her, she must choose to be strong, because there are still children who need her to raise them.

Each time, she wiped her tears and told her husband that although she was not a communist, she was prepared for it. It's just that when this day really comes, it still feels like the sky is falling.

Chang Feng sighed and said, "This money is a pension from the organization, if you want to go back to your hometown in Henan, I will come to see you off at any time." Of course, if you don't want to leave Shanghai, you can live here. ”

The woman choked up: "He...... Where is it? I want to go...... Look at him. ”

Chang Feng: "Buried in a mass grave by the enemy, you still don't want to go, you can't see anything." ”

The woman threw herself on her knees and cried bitterly. Wild dogs are infested in mass graves, and some ownerless graves are often picked up by hungry wild dogs because they are buried more shallowly.

Chang Feng walked over to help the woman up and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. After two days when the rumors subsided, we will send someone to dig up Brother Tao and find another place to bury him. ”

Tao Tao, who was standing on the bed, saw his mother crying, and was so frightened that he cried, and kept screaming: "Mom doesn't cry, Mom doesn't cry." ”

The woman realized that she had scared the child, so she quickly wiped away her tears, walked over and picked up Tao Tao, and comforted her softly: "Tao Tao is not afraid, my mother fell just now, it's okay." ”

Tao Tao stretched out his little hand to wipe his mother's tears and said, "Tao Tao fell, Dad touched it, and it didn't hurt." Wait for Dad to come back and give Mom a touch. ”

The woman hugged the child tightly, and the tears fell silently again.

Chang Feng was also very sad in his heart, he and Tao Zichuan were both Shanghai underground party activists, and they belonged to the same line of comrades, although they didn't meet often, they were very familiar with each other.

Tao Zichuan lives separately from his family in order to better hide his identity, because his documents are all fake, and living in the remote Zhoutangbang Village will save a lot of trouble. I come back once or twice a month, and I usually live in the village.

went to Shanghai Station to eradicate the traitor Zeng Runze, everyone knew that it was a mission with no return, but Tao Zichuan did not hesitate at all, he had an extremely strong revolutionary will!

"Changfeng ......"

"Huh?"

"Zichuan always mentioned Yan'an to me, and he said that it was the cradle of the revolution...... I want to take Tao Tao to Yan'an......"

"The living conditions in northern Shaanxi are very difficult, have you really thought about going to Yan'an?"

The woman nodded.

Chang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, when do you want to leave, I'll come and see you off." ”

Woman: "I ......"

"Tuk Tuk! Tuk Tuk! "There was a knock on the door outside.

Chang Feng stood up vigilantly and said softly, "Who could it be?" ”

The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know ......."

Tao Tao shouted: "Mom, open the door quickly, it's Dad who is back!" ”

The child made such a fuss, just to pretend that no one at home could do it, the woman wiped away her tears with the placket of her clothes, walked to the door and said, "Who? ”

"The Health Department." Outside the door was a man's voice.

"What's the matter?"

"Prevent the plague from happening and distribute medicine to every household."

The woman glanced back at Chang Feng, and Chang Feng motioned for her to open the door. This month is the peak period of plague and infectious diseases, and even during the reign of Wang, medicines will often be distributed, and special personnel will be sent to densely populated areas to spray medicines.

The woman opened the door, and outside were two men in health bureau uniforms, and a policeman with a thick notebook standing behind.

The person from the health bureau handed over a paper bag and said, "Keep these medicines in places where pests are frequented, be careful not to be eaten by small children." ”

The woman took the paper bag and said, "Thank you." ”

She was just about to close the door when the policeman stepped forward and asked, "I'm from the Household Affairs Division, and I do routine household registration." ”

Woman: "We've already registered, why do we have to register?" ”

Police: "This time it's an audit. ”

As he spoke, he walked into the room, glanced at Chang Feng, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Chang Feng stood up and said, "We are fellow countrymen, so come and sit down if you have nothing to do." ”

Police: "Documents." ”

Chang Feng took out his documents and handed them over.

The policeman took it, examined it carefully, returned the documents, and asked, "How many people are in the family?" ”

Woman: "Two people, me and my daughter." ”

"Your name."

"Xu Lanhua."

"What's the child's name?"

"Tao Xiaoman."

Tao Tao jumped on the bed and shouted: "My name is Tao Tao, not Tao Xiaoman." ”

Policeman: "The child's name is Tao Tao?" ”

Xu Lanhua: "Tao Tao is her name." ”

The policeman nodded, turned and walked out of the house.
