The station of the Tanliang guerrilla zone in Mawei Village. Captain Hou Liang called Vice Captain Yang Ruping and said; "Lao Yang, I heard that there are two young men with good kung fu in Sujiaping, right?" Yang Ruping replied: "Yes! What's wrong? Hou Liang said: "There is still a lack of a correspondent in the team site, which of these two guys do you think is suitable?" Qin Gang said on the side: "Lao Yang, you don't know what to do, since Yang Mingyuan sacrificed, Lao Hou has never mentioned looking for a correspondent, often, when the correspondent is needed to do something, the house is full of shouting 'correspondent, correspondent', I persuade him, then find another one, he always has an iron face and does not agree." You may have figured it out today, Lao Yang, you should quickly choose one, lest he change his mind again. Yang Ruping didn't want to pick one quickly, but he was in the way of the captain's emotions and didn't want to mention the matter, this time Lao Hou took the initiative to propose, and there was just a suitable candidate, so he said: "These two people, one is called Su Jie, the other is called Su Cheng, Su Jie is twenty years old, about one meter seventy-two, Su Cheng is seventeen years old, about one meter seven tall, his body is very strong, Su Cheng's kung fu is stronger, but he looks very white, unlike people in the countryside, I asked him if he doesn't do farm work?" He said that he was born so white that he couldn't tan. After hearing this, Hou Liang said: "I want Su Jie, let Su Cheng, a little white face, go to the combat class to exercise, I don't believe that he can't tan, and his kung fu is easy to use on the blade." After hearing this, everyone laughed.

Su Cheng was assigned to the fifth squad of the basic detachment, and because of his good military quality, he was appointed squad leader soon after. The basic detachment is the combat unit of the armed engineering team, and the armed engineering team also has a women's labor detachment and a literary engineering detachment. On this day, Bai Yulan, the leader of the art detachment, took the team members to the backbone detachment to carry out literacy work. Bai Yulan told Liu Shouye, the captain of the basic detachment, to gather the soldiers who had never gone to school and had a low level of education to attend classes. Magnolia asked people to set up a simple blackboard on the playground, and more than a dozen soldiers sat on the ground, holding pencils and homework books in their hands. Yulan said: "Comrades who have never gone to school, please raise your hand!" Su Cheng and six or seven other comrades raised their hands high, and Yulan asked, "Why don't you go to school?" Su Cheng stood up and replied: "Report, I answered, because the family is poor, there are many brothers and sisters, and they can't afford to go to school." Yulan motioned for Su Cheng to sit down with her hand, then wrote a few big words "Communist Party of China" on the blackboard, and asked, "Who can recognize these words?" "Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to make a sound. Magnolia pointed at a warrior with a whip made of bamboo and said, "Answer." ”

"Yes!" The soldier stood up, looked hard with his eyes, scratched his ears and cheeks, his face turned red, and only after half a sound did he utter a sentence: "Yes, what is the 'party'." He felt as if he had suddenly come to his senses, and said happily, "Yes! It's just what kind of 'party', I have seen a slogan with such words on Tanliang Street. His words made everyone laugh, and Su Cheng also joined in the excitement and said: "You can't say 'scraping the people's party', right?" The warrior replied conceitedly, "Yes, yes, I mean, 'Scrape...... Scrape...... Scrape the People's Party'. There was another big laugh. Yulan suppressed her smile and said, "Everyone read with me, 'Communist Party of China'." Everyone's faces became serious, and they read: "The Communist Party of China." Yulan wrote a few more words and said, "Read with me, 'Martial Arts Team'." Everyone read along: "Martial Arts Team." Magnolia said with a serious face: "Comrades! You've all just seen how ridiculous and sad it is to have no culture, isn't it? If we don't even know our own party, our own ranks, can we still be a staunch revolutionary? So, as revolutionaries, should we learn culture? ”

"Yes!" Everyone replied loudly. Yulan pulled over a female team member and said to everyone: "From today onwards, the teaching of your 'literacy' cram school will be taught by Comrade Qin Xiangmei, everyone is welcome!" Everyone responded with warm applause, which was not only a welcome, but more importantly, an expectation of this girl with a thick and long braid, a pair of big watery eyes, a face full of innocence, and a bright smile.

Ah, isn't this my cousin Xiangmei? How did she come to the guerrilla zone? Su Cheng couldn't believe his eyes, he quickly rubbed his eyes and looked at her fixedly. Qin Xiangmei's home is a well-known local family. My grandfather was very good at business, made a lot of money, and added a lot of family property in the local area, and when it came to his father Qin Zhihao, he continued to carry it forward, so that he had the family business that is famous today. Su Cheng's aunt, because the family was poor, was sold to Qin Xiangmei's grandfather to make a second room, Qin Zhihao is the son of the eldest wife, and Qin Xiangmei is Qin Zhihao's youngest daughter. When Su Cheng was a child, his aunt often took Xiao Su Cheng to the Qin family compound to play, because Su Cheng was half a year older than Qin Xiangmei, the two often played together, although the two were not related by blood, but in terms of ethnic relations, they were cousins.

"Hey! Isn't it beautiful? Dumbfounded, right? Su Cheng was patted by his partner next to him, woke up from his contemplation, and saw that the cram school had ended. The crowd dispersed, Su Cheng felt a pair of big eyes staring at him, he raised his head and saw Qin Xiangmei staring at him, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, why are you here too?" Xiangmei said angrily: "Do you want to come, or don't you allow me to come?" ”

"That's not what I meant, I mean, can my aunt let you come?" Su Cheng dodged those silent eyes and pretended to be careless. Xiangmei pouted and said, "I don't care about him, I can do whatever I want." As he spoke, he leaned close to Su Cheng's ear and whispered, "Cousin, tell you the truth, I ran out secretly." ”

"Sneaking out?" Su Cheng Ha laughed, "If you don't run secretly, it's not you, ghost girl!" In the past, every time I played with you, my uncle didn't let you play with me because my family was poor, and you had a way to sneak out, right? Xiangmei's face suddenly flushed with two blushes, her left hand pulled the long braid from behind her, wrapped her hands around, lowered her head, shook her body slightly, and said shyly: "Yes, yes, yes, you know." The two lowered their heads and faced each other silently, and after a long while, Xiangmei spoke: "It's all your fault, in the past, when I taught you to learn words, you always used excuses to escape, and now you have no culture, you understand that you are wrong, right?" Now, see if you still run? Su Cheng patted his chest and said seriously: "Sister! , the little one doesn't dare anymore, otherwise, discipline me, okay? ”

"That's pretty much it." Xiangmei smiled contentedly.

"Hey, Xiangmei, what are you doing? Come on! Magnolia was waving to her.

"It's here, Sister Yulan."

"If you are free, remember to come to the art team to find me." After telling Su Cheng, he turned around and jumped and ran towards Yulan.

When Yulan returned to the team headquarters, Qin Gang stopped her: "Yulan, are the comrades enthusiastic about learning?" Yulan replied: "At first, it didn't work, but later through education, everyone understood the importance of learning, and their enthusiasm was very high." Qin Gang said: "Great, don't relax in your studies, in addition, you should also hurry up about the rehearsal of the program of your art team, and find a time to perform among the soldiers." ”

"It's good." Magnolia replied.

"Yulan, that day, you also made up lessons for me and Vice Captain Yang, and made me and Vice Captain Yang into a literati like Qin Gang, okay?" Hou Liang said with a grin.

"Captain, do you still need me to make up for you? I asked my sister-in-law to make up for you at night, so that you would become a 'literati' when you came together the next day." Everyone was stunned for a moment, but after looking back, they all laughed. Osmanthus was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and said, "Yulan, look at your mouth so powerful that you don't spare people." Yulan said again: "Sister Osmanthus, just kidding, there are no outsiders, don't be embarrassed, who doesn't know Lu Dao, you two husbands and wives are in love!" Everyone laughed again, and Hou Liang said, "Okay, I'll be serious." Tomorrow, Lao Yang, you will go to the liaison station in Tanliang Town to pick up a few students from the county high school, who are revolutionary youths sent by the county party organization, and we must ensure that they reach the guerrilla zone safely. Yang Ruping assured: "Don't worry, I will definitely ensure the safety of this group of revolutionary youth." ”

Chen Tianlei, the commander-in-chief of the suppression, was at home, and his wife Huang Shufen made a cup of Tieguanyin and served it to him, and then sat down on the sofa next to him, listening to the sound from the radio together: ...... On April 21, 1949, Chairman Mao and Zhu De issued an order to march across the country, ordering the People's Liberation Army to advance bravely and annihilate the enemy resolutely, completely, cleanly, and completely. It reads as follows: Order, all commanders and combatants of the field armies, comrades of the People's Liberation Army of the southern guerrilla areas, the delegation of the Communist Party of China and the delegation of the Kuomintang government in Nanjing, after lengthy negotiations, to draw up a domestic peace agreement...... There is no reason to refuse, and on the basis of these basic conditions, the specific measures that have been drawn up and are extremely lenient. Under these conditions, we command you: (1) to march forward courageously and resolutely, completely, cleanly, and completely annihilate all Kuomintang reactionaries in China who dare to resist...... (4) After the People's Liberation Army (PLA) encircled Nanjing, if the government of Li Zongren in Nanjing has not yet fled and is willing to sign the domestic peace agreement, we are willing to give it another chance to sign. Chairman Mao, Chairman of the Military Committee of the Chinese People's Revolution, and Zhu De, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. April 21, 1949. Chen Tianlei turned off the radio, "Alas! He sighed and said, "The river is going down, and the party and the state are resting!" Mrs. Huang Shufen glanced at him and said, "No, are you pessimistic?" The Nanjing government is not still there. Chen Tianlei glared at her and said, "In the woman's opinion, you know a fart." Huang Shufen said unconvinced: "You know, then what do you say about it?" Chen Tianlei said: "Isn't this clear? The Communist Party is about to strengthen the Yangtze River and encircle Nanjing, and relying on Li Zongren's influence in the Nationalist Army and the Nationalist Army's ability, it is not the Communists' dish at all, and defeat is a matter of time. When Huang Shufen heard him say this, she became nervous: "What should I do?" Chen Tianlei said: "What to do? What can I do? Huang Shufen was anxious: "Then we might as well go to Taiwan or Hong Kong." Chen Tianlei said helplessly: "It's not easy to talk about!" For small fish and shrimp like us, the party-state doesn't know how many roads there are, and Taiwan and Hong Kong can't go even if they are crowded, so you just wait to die. Hearing him say this, Huang Shufen took a handkerchief, cried and shook while saying, "Alas! My life is so miserable, marry you, an old immortal, you have no ability at all, what should I do? ”

"You women, it's annoying!" Chen Tianlei paced to the window with a teacup, looking out while drinking tea. In front of me, a bamboo forest has been moistened by the spring rain, and many spring bamboo shoots have come out of the ground and are thriving with vitality. Alas! This bamboo shoot, just like the Communist Party, has developed so fast that it can't be eliminated no matter how it is suppressed, and the party-state, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, is scattered so fast, and the current affairs are pressing!

"Report! Commander, Captain Chen Bing of the Nanliang County Self-Defense Corps came to see him. The orderly's report interrupted Chen Tianlei's thoughts. Chen Tianlei said: "Please! As soon as the words fell, Chen Bing had already entered the room. Huang Shufen greeted her: "Yo! What kind of wind has blown your nephew, you haven't seen your uncle and aunt in a long time. Chen Bing said: "Aren't you busy suppressing the Communist Party, nephew, I took the time to come to see the second elder today, and by the way, I brought some pure rice wine to make medicinal wine for my uncle to drink, doesn't my uncle's waist often hurt?" I also brought my aunt's favorite 'sintered'. After speaking, he sat on the seat where Huang Shufen was sitting just now, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, drank it with his neck up, and wiped the few pieces of tea left on his mouth with his hand after drinking, and threw it into the tea bucket. Ay! Huang Shufen raised her hand and just wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Chen Tianlei smiled and said, "Look at it, look at it, it's still that rough hair, why did you drink your aunt's tea?" Chen Bing said with a big grin: "The same, the same." Chen Tianlei ordered the orderlies to serve tea, and then asked in a mocking tone: "Mr. Captain, have you wiped out all the Communist Party there?" Chen Bing replied, "What do you say?" Uncle, just relying on my shrimp soldiers, I can't kill a few without eating, drinking, or sleeping every day. Go less, give it to others to make dumplings to eat, it's not fun, go more, Mom's! Before it arrived, the Communist Party ran out, and the Communist Party was like a roundworm in Lao Tzu's stomach, knowing everything, mother's! Chen Tianlei pointed at him angrily and said: "Look at it, look at it, you just have this point, the party-state is because of mediocre talents like you, it has collapsed so quickly." Chen Bing said unconvinced: "Then what can be done, unless you send me more soldiers." Chen Tianlei said: "How can I have soldiers for you now!" Huang Shufen played a round and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about business at home." From the bag brought by Chen Bing, she pinched out a "sintered" worn with a small bamboo skewer, pinched one end of the bamboo skewer with both hands, and gently bit the "sintered" worn in the middle of the bamboo skewer with her mouth. Suddenly, her mouth was full of fragrant smell, she wiped the little sesame oil overflowing from the corner of her mouth with her slender fingers, and said with satisfaction: "Nephew, you still think about your aunt, I love to eat this bite, it's strange, what other places do is not as flavorful as yours, tell me what's going on?" When Chen Bing heard this, he talked about "sintering", and said like a few treasures: "This thing, I can't ask it best." This 'sintering' is the unique food of our Nanliang County, the method of making it is to chop the semi-fat pork and pork liver, add the ingredients, adjust the taste, and then wrap it with the net oil of the good pig, pass it through with a small bamboo skewer, fix it on the bamboo skewer, and put it into the oil pan to fry it. The key to this taste is that the meat can not be too fat, otherwise it is fatty, too fat and dry, not fragrant, and the pork liver can not be too much, otherwise the umami of the meat will be grabbed. Huang Shufen said: "No wonder, there is no such smell in other places, nephew, why do you know so well?" Chen Bing said proudly: "Growing up from snacks, you can become an expert." Huang Shufen smiled and said: "That's good, bring more when you have time, and I will also let my sisters taste the authentic Nanliang 'sintering'." ”
