Su Cheng was talking to Yumei, Wu Xinru came over and said to Su Cheng, "Su Cheng, my aunt has something to bring to you Abba." Su Cheng asked, "What is it?" ”

"You'll know when you go and see it." Wu Xinru took him to the bedroom. The bed in the bedroom is covered with a mosquito net, and there is a square stool next to the head of the bed, on which a cloth bag is placed. Wu Xinru pointed to the cloth bag and said, "That is, you can open it and see it." When Su Cheng walked over, Wu Xinru gently locked the door, took the key, and stood at the door eavesdropping. Seeing this, Yumei hurriedly asked, "Grandma, what are you doing?" Wu Xinru made a "shhhhh In the bedroom, Su Cheng opened the cloth bag on the square stool and saw that there was nothing else in it except clothes. Thinking about it, ah, my aunt was in charge, and I was about to get up, when suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from the mosquito net and hugged him down on the bed. He suddenly felt his body pressing against a soft, warm thing, which exuded warmth and fragrance, and that kind of soft feeling had never been felt before. At this moment, a gentle voice gently drilled into his eardrums.

"Brother Su Cheng, don't move, it's me Cuiling." Su Cheng jumped, turned his head to look, a childish, innocent face in front of him smiled, a pair of eyes full of expectation and eagerness, looking at himself tenderly, Su Cheng's eyes touched the place, is a white and tender carcass, a white leg has pressed on his body, Su Cheng looked at this, suddenly felt that the blood in the whole body was boiling, soft and weak, and his breathing became short, he was only seventeen years old, it was when he was young, how could he have seen such a scene, he tried to control himself, broke free from Cui Ling's hands, and stood up, But his legs were hugged by Cui Ling again.

"Brother Su Cheng, don't go, if you go, I'll die, and Madam will sell me to the poisonous ghost." Su Cheng said: "Cuiling, you let go, I won't go, you put on your clothes first, I know that you were forced by your aunt." Cui Ling had to put on her clothes, get out of the mosquito net, and sit on the edge of the bed. Su Cheng also sat down on the square bench, Su Cheng said: "Cui Ling, don't be afraid, my aunt doesn't dare to do anything to you, the whole country will be liberated soon, you are a child of a poor family, I am also a child of a poor family, the Communist Party does not allow the poor to be bullied, you see Wei Jingui bullying the people, there will be no good end." Cui Ling's eyes sparkled and said, "Then I'm not afraid." Cui Ling grabbed Su Cheng's hand and said, "Brother Su Cheng, do you only like Miss and don't like me, am I not good-looking?" Su Cheng withdrew his hand and said, "You are very good-looking, and I don't dislike it." Cui Ling asked puzzledly: "Then why don't you want me to be your wife?" Su Cheng said: "In the future, it will be a new society, which will talk about freedom of love and oppose arranged marriages." ”

"What is freedom of love?"

"To put it simply, it is both men and women, you and I are willing, and do not force each other." Cui Ling seemed to understand: "Oh, in this way, I forced you just now, it's not called free love, don't you love that young lady?" Su Cheng sighed: "Alas! I'm still young, good boys have ambitions, and I don't want to think about it too soon. ”

Yumei finally understood, and hurriedly grabbed the key in Wu Xinru's hand, and said while grabbing: "Grandma, how can you do this?" Cui Ling is still young, how can you let her do such an unsightly thing? Wu Xinru said: "I don't let her do it, do you want to let you do it?" Okay, okay, don't rob it, give you the key, Su Cheng, this kid, it's time to finish, it's really cheap for him. Yumei hurriedly opened the door, rushed in, and saw that the two were chatting, and hurriedly asked Cui Ling: "Cui Ling, you are okay, right?" Cui Ling pouted, shook her legs, and said unconvinced: "What can I do?" Brother Su Cheng is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he doesn't mess up, so he didn't fancy me at all. Miss, are you happy? ”

"You girl, watch me slap your mouth, will you still talk nonsense in the future?" Yumei pretended to beat her, and the two circled around the house. Wu Xinru looked like a deflated ball, paralyzed at the door, unable to say a word. Alas! My beauty plan has come to naught again, my son, who told you to do so many immoral things, and now God wants to accept you, and I can't do anything about it.

Su Cheng walked up to Wu Xinru and said sternly: "Auntie, my cousin's matter, he is to blame, no one else is to blame, this is called evil retribution, you should also reflect on it, this is also the consequence of your long-term indulgence, you must not do anything to oppress the people, otherwise, the people will eventually liquidate you." After speaking, I told Yumei to persuade my aunt to care more about her, and then left the Wei family.

The day before the public trial was held, Yumei and Cui Ling came to the guerrilla station and found Zhao Qi and Su Cheng, deputy political commissars. Yumei said to Zhao Qi: "Sir, I have a request, I don't know if you can agree?" Zhao Qi said: "Miss Xiaowei, don't call me 'sir', our Communist Party doesn't like this, just call me Comrade Zhao." Su Cheng said: "Yumei, you are the same as us, call our leader the chief." Yumei said inferiorly: "I don't dare, I'm the sister of a bully!" Zhao Qi comforted her and said, "Hey, a bully is a bully, you are you, and you didn't help the bully to oppress the people, didn't you?" Besides, you are also a member of the people. ”

"Xie Lu, thank you for your education to me."

"Look, look, literate people are sensible. Xiao Wei, what are your requirements? Zhao Qi turned around and said to Su Cheng, then turned around and asked Yumei. Yumei said: "Because my second brother has done a lot of bad things, the people hate him to the core, after his death, I am afraid that his body will be destroyed, my mother wants to ask the Communist Party to be gracious, can help properly keep my second brother's body, and bury it normally, I wonder if the Communist Party can agree to this request?" Zhao Qi said seriously and seriously: "Xiao Wei, let your mother rest assured, we understand the feelings of a mother, not to mention that we communists have always been humane, and we will deal with this matter." Yumei said: "This is the new clothes and shoes that my mother prepared for my second brother afterwards." Su Cheng took the clothes and shoes, and Yumei said: "This time, we also drove a pig, my mother said, one is to apologize to the oppressed people on behalf of her son, and the other heard that the guerrillas are leaving, so they sent a pig to show their farewell." Zhao Qi said: "Okay, then we will accept it, when the troops leave, there will be a military-civilian party, and everyone will be lively." ”

On the day of the public trial, the surrounding crowd rushed to see the fate of the bully, and the venue was crowded. The main platform of the venue was built with bamboo, and the vertical couplet on the right read: Actively promote the agrarian revolution. The vertical couplet on the left reads: Resolutely crack down on the bully landlords. The banner on the top reads: Wei Jingui for public trial. There is a soldier with a spear standing on the left and right sides of the stage, and on the stage is the deputy political commissar Zhao Qi and the captain Li Fengjiang, and on the left side of the stage is Wei Jingui, with a sign hanging on his chest, which reads: Bully Wei Jingui. Wei Jingui's name was crossed out. Behind Wei Jingui stood two warriors with short guns on their shoulders on the left and right. Li Fengjiang read out the guerrillas' proclamation, counting Wei Jingui's actions and his main crimes, and then, the oppressed representatives of the masses came to the stage one after another, accusing Wei Jingui of his crimes, and the crowd at the meeting was excited, "Kill him, kill him......" The shouts of killing were everywhere, wave after wave, and after the finale, Zhao Qi announced that the order to execute was carried out and immediately executed, the bully Wei Jingui was escorted away, and the public trial meeting ended. At the scene of the execution, two gunshots rang out, Wei Jingui was shot and fell to the ground, the crowd wanted to rush in and trample on the body, the guerrillas stopped it with a human wall, and several team members carried the body away and handed it over to the people invited by the Wei family for burial. At the scene of the execution, the crowd gradually dispersed.

In the evening, the villagers of Magangtun sent chickens, ducks and fish, brought good rice wine, killed the pigs sent by Wu Xinru, and held a celebration banquet. After the dinner, a military and civilian party was held in the threshing floor. Early the next morning, the villagers beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the guerrillas. Yumei and Cuiling also came to see them off, and Yumei said to Su Cheng: "Cousin Su Cheng, don't forget me!" Cui Ling hid behind Yumei and said shyly: "And me!" Su Cheng smiled: "How can you forget? You guys are so nice to me. Yumei took out a pair of cloth shoes, stuffed them to Su Cheng and said, "These shoes were made by me and Cuiling in a night, take them and wear them." Su Cheng said: "Look at the two of you, your eyes are red, Su Cheng has thanked you here." After speaking, they put their shoes directly into their waists, and Yumei and Cuiling smiled happily.

Qin Xiangmei followed the team for a few steps, and when she turned around, she saw Su Cheng talking to the two girls, the three of them laughed very happily, and a wave of vinegar couldn't help but surge up, she hurriedly ran to Su Cheng's side, pulled Su Cheng's arm, looked at Yumei, and asked Su Cheng: "Cousin, this sister looks so elegant and elegant, who is she in the show?" When asked this, his face flushed, and Su Cheng introduced: "Get to know me, this is also my cousin, her name is Wei Yumei." Su Cheng pointed to Xiangmei and said to Yumei: "This is also my cousin, called Qin Xiangmei." The two couldn't help but let out an "ah" and pointed at each other.

"You're the Jade Sister?"

"You're Xiangmei?"

They clapped each other and jumped excitedly. It turned out that when Su Cheng was young, he played in Qin's house, and often talked to Xiangmei about Yumei, and when he was in Wei's house, he often talked to Yumei about Xiangmei's goodness. After Zhao Qi said goodbye to the villagers one by one, he passed by them, interjected, and teased: "Su Cheng, there are so many cousins!" Su Cheng said embarrassedly: "You can't blame me, who let my relatives in the previous generation give birth to so many daughters." Actually, it's not much, not just two. Zhao Qi was afraid that they would delay time, so he said to Xiangmei: "Xiao Qin, let's go first, and talk about this propaganda work while walking." Xiangmei had no choice but to turn back while walking, Su Cheng saw the urging of the deputy political commissar, so she had to say to Yumei: "I'm leaving, see you again!" Su Cheng waved his hand, turned around and walked to catch up with the team. Yu Mei was still gently shaking her slender little hand like a jade onion as in the past, looking at Su Cheng's back with affection......

In the ancestral hall of Mawei Village, the leaders of the brigade Hou Liang, political commissar Qin Gang, deputy brigade leader Yang Ruping, and deputy political commissar Zhao Qiyi were summing up the results of the struggle in the Tanliang area. At the end of the day, everyone talked about the distribution of seized cotton clothes, military uniforms and other materials. Yang Ruping patted his chest and said proudly: "It's okay this time, our brigade wears these military uniforms, all of them are the same color of the 'regular army', see who dares to say that we are dirt buns, ho ho!" Everyone was excited when they heard this, and Hou Liang shouted: "Correspondent, hurry up, come in with some military uniforms, we have to try them on, have fun!" ”

"Okay." Correspondent Su Jie ran out of the house quickly, and after a while, he and a soldier came in with a large bag of things, tore open the bag, took out the military uniform, and distributed a set to everyone. It turned out that when Su Jie went to get the costume, the soldiers rushed to see the news when they heard the news. Vice captain Yang Ruping picked up a set and put it on, always felt that something was wrong with the pants, looked down and found that the corners of the pants had been dragged to the ground, so he bent down, rolled up the trouser legs casually, clasped the wind and discipline buckles with both hands, and made two sounds of "uh-huh" in his throat, and said to Hou Liang seriously: "Big ...... Big...... Captain, can you help me take a look, see, is it majestic? Liang Jin also said: "Okay! How do you look at me too? The two looked at each other, and Hou Liang walked over with a smile, pulled the corner of Yang Ruping's clothes and said: "Look at it, look at it, you are not tall, and you have to be big, your clothes are long to your knees, and then look at the trouser legs rolled up to your calves, and then with the big straw sandals on your feet, it looks like a foreign soldier emerging from the soil." Hou Liang added: "However, I really don't know what the foreign soldiers look like." Yang Ruping said unconvinced: "What about me, look at what you are wearing, the clothes are short to the navel, the trouser legs are short to the calves, and with your big straw sandals, you are a scarecrow chasing birds." Yang Ruping made a scarecrow to catch birds, and then said: "My boss, don't wear such small shoes if you don't have such small feet." He turned to the warriors who were gathered around the door and the window to watch the commotion, and said, "You all say, don't you?" The fighters replied in unison, "No—yes." Yang Ruping pointed at the soldier and said, "Go, you know a fart." At this time, political commissar Qin Gang came over and asked the soldiers: "Everyone said, do you look good when the captain and deputy captain wear military uniforms?" The fighters said in unison: "Okay—look." Hou Liang smiled: "Political commissar, you also come to join in the fun." Qin Gang said: "You two don't have to quarrel, exchange with each other." Just when everyone was happy, the correspondent Su Jie brought a letter, saying that it was sent by the corps. Qin Gang took it, opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it carefully, after reading it, he looked at the people around him with his eyes, Hou Liang hurriedly asked, "What instructions did the corps have?" Qin Gang smiled but didn't answer, and directly handed the letter to Hou Liang and said, "Look at it yourself." Hou Liang felt that Qin Gang was a little strange, so he hurriedly took the letter and read it, which read: "According to intelligence feedback, the activities of your brigade in the Tanliang area have dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's arrogance and deterrent the enemy, and the masses have become more and more confident in our party. To this end, the corps affirmed your achievements and commended them throughout the platoon. I hope to continue to work hard and strive for greater results. In addition, the corps asks you to immediately hand over all the seized cotton clothes, military uniforms and other materials, except for the cotton clothes and military uniforms to the art team and the women's labor team, to the logistics department of the corps for unified disposal. Commander and political commissar Mo Yun. July 30, 1949. Hou Liang cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Comrades! There are two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first? In the crowd, someone shouted: "Hear the good news first!" ”

"Well, let me first tell you the good news, our struggle against the enemy and mass work some time ago have been commended by the corps, and the entire corps has been called on to learn from us." When everyone heard this, their hearts were excited, they smiled and cheered. Hou Liang continued: "The bad news is that we should quickly take off the new military uniforms on our bodies, and the corps requires us to hand over the rest to the corps except for the cotton clothes and military uniforms issued by the literary and women's labor teams." ”

"Wow! It's no fun to want to be a 'regular army'. "Several brigade leaders were addicted to military uniforms, and they hurried to change their clothes, and the soldiers also dispersed.

Qin Xiangmei, the deputy captain of the art team, wearing a very close-fitting summer military uniform, jumped in front of Su Cheng, twisted left and right, and said, "Cousin, is it good-looking?" Looking at Xiangmei wearing a military uniform, revealed, tall, slender figure, and the kind of body exuding, there is no lack of warmth in the majesty, handsome and cool without losing the feminine temperament, I feel that this is a different from the past, a new feeling.

"Beautiful, good-looking, so good-looking!" Su Cheng stared at her with an extremely envious and appreciative look.

"Where's the pretty?"

"Where's the pretty? I can't say it, I just think it's good-looking, just like the Mulan in the book who 'went to the army for his father', right! That's how it feels. Su Cheng put his finger on his head and said seriously. Xiangmei said happily, "Really? Like Mulan? Su Cheng nodded affirmatively, and then, with a sigh, said, "When, I can also wear a set, majestic." Xiangmei smiled and comforted: "It's soon, it's fast, we're all wearing it, are you guys still far away?" Xiangmei continued: "When you put on your military uniform, the two of us will be side by side like this, with our heads slightly leaning together to take a commemorative photo, okay?" Su Cheng said excitedly: "Okay! Okay! I haven't taken a few photos since I'm so old! ”

"You really want to be photographed like this?" Xiangmei asked mischievously.

"Hmm!" Su Cheng nodded, Xiangmei pretended to be mysterious, and said, "Do you know that Lu Dao is in the city, what is it called taking pictures like this?" Su Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do!" Xiangmei said: "This is called a wedding photo." ”

"What do you mean by a wedding photo," Su Cheng asked puzzled. Xiangmei nodded at Su Cheng's head and said angrily: "Tu Baozi, stupid, I don't even understand the wedding photo, it's a worship in the countryside to get married." When Su Cheng heard this, his face turned red at once, and when Xiangmei saw Su Cheng's face, she was very happy.
