Northwest.

At the foot of the Pagoda Mountain.

Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen have been in Yan'an for more than a month, and the girls who came out of Nanjing have also been arranged to be teachers in Northern Shaanxi Public School. Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen were asked to go to the Ministry of Social Affairs by their old superior, Mr. Qian, and finally met one of the three heroes of Longtan who was famous all over the country: Minister L.

Shi and Zhang Quan were sent to the troops, after all, they were people from the national control area, and it was impossible for them to be put into the guard unit.

When parting, Deng Xiufen and Shi Shi were reluctant, which reminded Chen Yun of the hideous scarred face, and immediately felt pain in her heart, why didn't this guy want to follow him!

On the first day of going to the Ministry of Social Affairs, Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen were personally received by Minister L, and talked to them one by one.

After the meeting, the two girls began to study day and night: from the principle and operation of the transmitter to the combined use of the codebook; From physical training to basic martial arts; From the principle of firearms to the disassembly and use of firearms; From tracking to anti-tracking. The two girls complained about the different training every day, but they gritted their teeth and survived, without saying the word give up.

In the blink of an eye, it was early February, and Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen had been training for almost two months.

This morning, not long after Chen Yun got up, she felt sleepy and couldn't get up at all. When practicing the fingering of the transmitter, she couldn't concentrate at all, her eyes closed from time to time, and twice her head almost hit the transmitter, and Deng Xiufen, who was practicing on the opposite side, broke out in a cold sweat, she asked, "Sister Yun, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Chen Yun didn't feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but feel sleepy, she shook her head and said, "It's not uncomfortable, it's just inexplicably sleepy." ”

"Did you sleep late last night?"

"It's the same as usual." Chen Yun didn't say that she had dreamed of that national army officer every night recently, the man who made her unable to eat and sleep.

"That's weird." Deng Xiufen muttered to herself, she didn't continue to ask, and began to practice her fingering again.

Chen Yun couldn't practice anymore, she got up and went to the water tank to get a basin of cold water, wet the towel, wiped her face, and felt a little spirit. Just as he wanted to go to the position to continue practicing fingering, a voice came from outside the door: "Sister Yun, Sister Fen, you see what delicious food I brought you." ”

The two followed the sound and looked out the door, only to see a girl walking in with an altar in her arms.

The girl's name is Haiyan, one of the thirteen female students who retired from Nanjing with them, originally worked as a teacher in a public school, but these days she was seconded to the Ministry of Social Affairs to help sort out some paperwork, and she simply moved to the room of the two of them, and the originally small room was squeezed into a bed again. However, this girl is the youngest, and she is lively, she smiles all day long, and she is everyone's pistachio, so Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen treat her as a little sister and treat her very well.

"Dead girl, which fellow did you go to harm, or which company's cooking class did you harm?" Deng Xiufen looked at the lively Haiyan and said.

"No, this is Mr. Qian seeing that your appetite has not been very good recently, and he made sauerkraut and sour radish by himself, as well as your favorite sour pepper." Haiyan said excitedly that she is from Jiangsu and doesn't eat chili peppers at all, but she is happy because the two of them like spicy food.

"What's that? Sauerkraut? When Chen Yun heard these words, a stream of sour water came out of her heart, she couldn't suppress it, she covered her mouth and ran to the door, and spit it out before she went far.

Deng Xiufen hurriedly put down the practice in her hand, ran to her side, kept stroking her back, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Is it cold? I don't think you're quite right these days, just say it if you're not feeling well, and go to the doctor. ”

After Chen Yun spit out the sour water in her stomach, she felt a lot better, and said to Deng Xiufen, who was still stroking her back, "Okay, I'm fine." ”

The two walked to the door of the house, Haiyan was walking out, and she also said with concern: "Sister Yun, are you okay?" ”

Chen Yun smiled at her and said, "It's okay, girl, I make you worried." ”

Walking into the house, she suddenly asked, "Haiyan, what delicious food did you just say you brought us?" ”

"Sour peppers and turnips." Haiyan replied, and when she finished speaking, she walked to the table and opened the jar wrapped in several heavy cloths and adhesive tape, and suddenly a refreshing sour fragrance filled the room.

Chen Yun has never had any appetite these days, and he feels that there is no taste in his mouth when he eats anything, but now that he smells this sour fragrance, he immediately drools with hunger, and directly reached out and grabbed a piece of sour radish at the mouth of the altar and put it in his mouth, and ate it with relish.

Deng Xiufen also grabbed a piece of radish to eat, but her face was so sour that her face was deformed, she looked at Chen Yun, who had already eaten a piece of radish and was reaching out to grab the second piece, and asked: "I remember that you couldn't eat so sour before, why don't you frown when you eat such a sour thing now?" ”

After Chen Yun heard this, her hands trembled, she had just discovered this problem, but she didn't think about it deeply, but after being asked like this, she thought of her own physiological reaction, and immediately had a bad premonition, she put the radish that she had caught in her hand into the jar, and ran out without saying a word.

After coming out of the health center, Chen Yun didn't know whether to be happy or cry, and the words of the female doctor who treated her were still in her ear: "Congratulations, you are ten weeks pregnant!" ”

This is his child, this is the crystallization of his love and that of himself.

Thinking of that man, Chen Yun's face showed a smile, but as soon as she returned to reality, her face was covered with dark clouds again, an officer of the national army, could she be with him?!

After knowing this result, Chen Yun was absent-minded for several days, and she always made mistakes in everything she did.

The instructor who taught them noticed her anomaly and reported the situation to Minister L and their superior, Mr. Qian.

In the afternoon, Teacher Qian came over to find Chen Yun and wanted to ask her what the reason was, but how could she say this matter, and she couldn't say it for a long time.

Minister L was still careful, and learned from Deng Xiufen and Haiyan about her recent state and physical abnormalities, and he also learned that Chen Yun had been to the health center to see a doctor, and it was even more strange after she came back.

Minister L originally attached great importance to Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen, and tried his best to cultivate them, so naturally he would not give up easily, and after he sent someone to find a doctor who treated Chen Yun, he understood the reason.

Teacher Qian told Minister L about her love affair with a national army officer in Nanjing, and also rescued him from thirteen female teachers in the public school, and let his guards and four other soldiers escort Chen Yun and them to Yan'an, and reported to Minister L in 1510.

Minister L pondered for a long time before asking, "Do you know what kind of person that national army officer is?" ”

"The surname is Sun. I have only dealt with him twice, once when Chen Yun and the others were arrested by a secret agent, and I had no choice, so I sent someone to the army to find him for help; Another time was after the lockdown of Nanjing, a few students couldn't leave, so I went to the army to find him and asked him to take them out, Haiyan and them. Mr. Qian told what he knew in one breath, and added at the end: "These two times were when I was in Nanjing City." ”

"Then how do you feel about this officer surnamed Sun?"

"I have too little contact, I can't talk about feelings, but I intuitively think that he should be just a pure soldier, and he is quite good.

Minister L nodded, he made a decision in his heart, and said, "You go and call Chen Yun, and I'll talk to him." ”

When Chen Yun walked into Minister L's office, she was beating a drum in her heart, and she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put it.

Minister L got up and personally made her a cup of tea, comforted her to sit down, and then stood next to her, looked at her with a smile and said, "Comrade Chen Yun, you have been in Yan'an for two months, do you feel any different from when you first came?" ”

"It's good, it feels good, Minister. Thank you, Chief, for your interest in me. Chen Yun knew in her heart that Minister L was not simply asking such an inconsequential question when she came over, and she was afraid that her own affairs were like a book spread out in front of this eagle-eyed chief.

"Xiao Chen," Minister L saw that the little girl was still covering up, he walked back to his desk, picked up a newspaper and read it, and said as he read it, "Do you have anything on your mind lately?" The instructor said that you are doing very poorly these days and can barely learn anything. After flipping through the pages of the newspaper, he added: "If you have any difficulties or problems, you can tell the organization." You have to trust the organization to help you solve the problem. ”

Chen Yun's gaze had been following Minister L's movements, and suddenly a portrait of a person in the newspaper caught her eyes.

She stood up suddenly, and said in a trembling voice, "Chief, can you lend me this newspaper to read?" ”

Confused by her sudden request, Minister L handed over the Central Daily newspaper that he had brought from the Kuomintang and said, "Don't believe this newspaper, the mouthpiece of the GMD Party, the news is very likely to be false. ”

Chen Yun didn't answer his words, the newspaper in her hand was quickly turned over by her, and a few seconds later, Chen Yun folded the front page of the newspaper and handed it to Minister L, pointing to the portrait of the character on it and said, "Chief, it's him, it's him." ”

Minister L didn't understand what she said, picked up the newspaper, and the front page read: Raise the prestige of our army, Jining is a great victory. A small print next to it reads: General Sun Yumin, commander of the 20th Division, recovered five cities on the 3rd and killed 10,000 Japanese puppet soldiers.

Chen Yun's eyes were already full of tears, and she choked up and continued: "Chief, I have his child in my belly. After telling the secret that was pressing on her heart, she finally burst into tears.

When he saw the name on that line, Minister L had a hunch in his heart that the officer surnamed Sun who was good with Chen Yun that Mr. Qian said earlier was very likely to be the Sun Yumin in the newspaper.

Sure enough, when Chen Yun said this, Minister L, who was already a senior general of our party, was also shocked. How could he, who is in charge of intelligence, not know what kind of person this Sun Yumin is, and how could he not know how famous this Sun Yumin has been recently.

He hurriedly comforted Chen Yun, who was crying bitterly, and said, "How did you and him meet?" ”

Chen Yun wiped away her tears and told the past between the two and a series of things that happened after they retreated from Nanjing. When talking about sending equipment to the Quanjiao guerrilla brigade, Minister L stopped her and asked, "Do you remember what the captain was called?" ”

Chen Yun replied without thinking about it: "Tian Guozhen! ”

"That's right." Minister L was excited.

Guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines is very difficult, especially the lack of guns and ammunition, so that many teams are even bullied by bandits or militia groups; in December last year, the Quanjiao County Brigade became the strongest unit in the surrounding area in one fell swoop by virtue of a weapon given by a remnant of the national army, and later took in many remnants of soldiers who really fought devils, and played a huge role behind enemy lines. Just a few days ago, they were reorganized into the first detachment of the New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu and became a new force under the leadership of the party.

Tian Guozhen reported this incident to the leaders, and also said that some of our party cadres and students followed this remnant army to Wuhan, and Minister L and other leaders did not link the two things together until Chen Yun said it just now.

Minister L was very happy, and after he comforted Chen Yun, he found Vice Chairman Z as soon as possible and reported the matter.

A day later, I got the reply above: try your best, fully assist.

Seeing Minister L again a day later, Chen Yun's mood was not as excited as it was at that time, and she told the chief in front of her all about her thoughts, what the result was, it was not something she could grasp and control, she could see it, so she was relatively plain.

Minister L said to the girl in front of him: "Comrade Chen Yun, you have learned a lot during this time, and it is time to come in handy. ”

Chen Yun's heart moved, and she vaguely knew what Minister L was about to say, and her hands began to tremble slightly.

"The organization has decided to send you to Jining, on the one hand, to do your best to assist General Sun in fighting every battle against the Japanese invaders; On the other hand, organizationally you try your best to recruit General Sun into the ranks of the party. In order to cooperate with you to complete this task, the organization has assigned you a team, you are the team leader, Deng Xiufen is the deputy team leader, and she accepts your command. Except for Comrade Shi Zhonghua, who has already taken up the post of company commander and cannot go to help you, the other four soldiers you brought back from Nanjing have followed you. And what kind of manpower do you need, you don't have to ask the organization. ”

Chen Yun already had this preparation in her heart, and this was her long-standing wish, of course she was very willing to complete this task.

"Chief, just give me Haiyan again." She didn't ask for more people, in fact, it was useless to ask for more.

Minister L nodded and said: "Now that the war ahead is urgent, I didn't want to send you over so early, but the organization is worried that your stomach and your body will not allow long-distance travel after a while, so I am in such a hurry to send you out, I hope you don't mind, and I hope you can come back with good news." ”

Chen Yun nodded cautiously, and she said in a sonorous tone: "I will definitely take him back to my mother's arms." ”
