Chapter 613: Farewell Xi'an
During the war years, there were many unwavering love stories, singing and crying, and there were also many couples who were separated due to lack of communication, and there were even emotional discordants or people who broke up after reporting to the organization. After all, this is a grassy era, many people are dreaming to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, and the pursuit of love and the pursuit of an ideal partner is also a major motivation for many people to participate in the Anti-Japanese War.
Liu Yimin couldn't imagine that Tang Xingying would report to the Central Committee so resolutely to divorce him, but he could think that Tang Xingying must have been heartbroken and sleepless all night when he made this decision. Now, due to the successive battles and the abundant seizures, the communication capabilities of the various units of the Eighth Route Army are much stronger than in history, and the contacts between the central government and various localities and units are also very convenient.
Such a woman and such a wife, how can Liu Yimin be embarrassed?
Seeing Liu Yimin's silent and dejected appearance, several chiefs were a little uneasy, ** invited Liu Yimin to sit at home with him, and asked He Zizhen to wrap dumplings for him to eat, which was considered to be a line for him. Vice President Zhou, Mr. Zhu, Zhang Wentian, and Chen Yun all invited him to eat at home, saying that they hadn't seen him for a long time, and I was afraid that they wouldn't see each other for another year or two, Sister Deng, Sister Kang, and Liu Ying all wanted to have a good talk with him, and the meeting was tightly arranged, and they didn't have time to talk to Liu Yimin, so they had to cook for Liu Yimin!
Liu Yimin's mind was full of Tang Xingying's grief-stricken face and the small faces of his two sons, and he couldn't wait to return to Shandong now, "I don't want to stop in Xi'an for a second longer." But Liu Yimin, who has gone through Wang Ming's troubled incident, refuses the kindness of the leaders again, then he really hasn't learned a lesson.
In the end, Liu Yimin proposed to simply call the eldest sisters and go to his house for a good drink in the evening. He made hot pot and roasted sheep skewers for everyone, ensuring that everyone would eat sweaty and red-faced.
Chen Yun stared at Liu Yimin with both eyes, and couldn't figure out what this guy thought, Tang Xingying had already divorced him, "He still has to entertain the chiefs at home, how can he face Tang Xingying's parents!"
Without waiting for Chen Yun to ask, Mr. Zhu said, "You Liu Yimin, why are you confused?" You're not someone's son-in-law anymore, and you have to go home to entertain guests. Isn't this salt in the wounds of your ex-father-in-law? ”
is already divorced, others have nothing to say, Liu Yimin doesn't care" cheekily said: "Boss" The common people said that one day husband and wife are graceful, and one hundred days husband and wife are like the depth of the sea. I have been married to Tang Xingying for a few years and have two sons, how can the relationship be broken? The two of us didn't divorce because of emotional discord, and we were different from others. I'm not afraid of your criticism, let alone your jokes, anyway, I've figured it out, marriage is just a formality, even if divorced, Tang Xingying is still my son's mother, whoever dares to move her finger, I won't follow! In my life, I still have to ensure her happiness and happiness. Tang Xingying's parents are my father-in-law and mother-in-law, "I am my son's grandfather and grandmother, and we are a family." That's my home, so I'm going to go home and invite the chiefs and sisters to dinner. ”
When Liu Yimin said this, he was ready to be reprimanded by the host again, but he was really unwilling to violate his conscience and didn't want Tang Xingying to end up pitiful."
As a result, Liu Yimin was surprised, and none of the people reprimanded him, on the contrary, Mr. Zhu patted him on the shoulder and said What is a legendary hero? This is the legendary heroic, love and righteousness, and Tang Xingying will live and die with you in vain. No matter what other people think, I'm going to drink this wine with you. Hurry back and prepare, prepare more, Lao Peng and they may also go.
** With a smile on his face, opening his mouth is the true nature of the only hero, and he also said that Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying can be so affectionate and righteous, and understand the overall situation, comrades will never make irresponsible remarks, and the little devil has no excuse to attack and slander Liu Yimin. And he confessed that the wine did not need to be prepared by Liu Yimin, and he still had some Moutai wine handed over by Liu Yimin in the past two years, and he took it all. Let the Central Guard Corps send some soldiers to the streets to buy more things, and have a good drink tonight.
On the way home after bidding farewell to the leaders, Liu Yimin finally figured it out, the leaders actually hoped that he and Tang Xingying would have a good time and not marry Ni Hua.
The key is that he can't resist his feelings for Ni Hua, and he doesn't want Ni Hua to be too aggrieved. The learning in the middle is great! Tang Xingying took the initiative to file for divorce, which not only untied the knot between him, Ni Hua and Tang Xingying, solved the problem of Liu Yimin's violation of policies, but also confirmed that Tang Xingying's love for Liu Yimin is pure and sincere love. With Liu Yimin's true confession, knowing that Tang Xingying and his two sons were still tied to Liu Yimin's heart, the leaders were relieved, so they happily went to his house to drink. Otherwise, where would these insightful leaders go to his house to drink, and who wants to face the cold faces of Tang Haiyan and Li Yun!
Thinking about this truth, the question of why the central government sent Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing Muslim tutors to work has also been figured out.
Knowing that these two girls are deeply in love with him, the central government still sent the two girls back to work, one is naturally that they are rare and have the ability to work. The other was also stimulated by Song Meiling's sending Chen Yaoguang to her side at that time, worried about her own safety, and asked them to help Tang Xingying watch her. Well, I want He Zizhen to say what he said when he went to Taiyuan to express his condolences and parting, this meaning couldn't be clearer, but he didn't think about it deeply at that time, and he didn't want to think about it.
Now that Chen Yaoguang has been sacrificed, a Japanese female spy who is bent on assassinating him has appeared, but fortunately, Ni Hua has also returned, with the double insurance of Tang Xingying and Ni Hua, it is impossible for the ghost child spy to enter his sight under normal circumstances. But the central government did not mean to transfer back Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing, and this question became more and more intriguing.
Thinking about it, Liu Yimin remembered the bits and pieces after getting to know Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjingren. These two girls, such good talents, and so bright, no matter which aspect they are, they are not much worse than Tang Xingying and Ni Hua. It's all about hurting others, if it weren't for themselves, these two girls would definitely find their ideal partner.
Liu Yimin originally planned to report to the Central Committee before leaving to transfer Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing back to Xi'an to work, which would not only make him a little safer, but also make himself a little cleaner and less idle. Now that we have figured out these issues, we know that there is no need to talk about this matter, and it is also plain to say that the central government will not transfer them back, and they themselves will not agree to come back. The reason, Liu Yimin privately guessed that they were by his side, and Tang Xingying had factors that distracted his feelings for Ni Hua and reduced Ni Hua's influence. After all, Ni Hua's identity is complicated, although it has withstood the test, there is also a risk of being exploited by Chiang Kai-shek, where is it better than Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing, such a simple experience of the Red Army is reassuring!
I haven't thought about this in the past, it doesn't mean that Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong haven't thought about it. Otherwise, Cai Zhong would not have taken the risk of offending Tang Xingying, and from time to time he would create opportunities for Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing to report to the division headquarters, and Luo Ronghuan would not acquiesce to Cai Zhong's nonsense.
In the final analysis, the problem is still out of himself, he is too young, his record is too prominent, the army is developing too fast, and he is still in love with Ni Hua. Look at the leaders of several other divisions, which one has this kind of problem!
They will definitely not take the initiative to consider and arrange this kind of thing, but those big sisters can't guarantee it, maybe it's the result of a few of them.
Liu Yimin had a whim, Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing have always been in love with him, if he was not entangled with Ni Hua but with the two of them, would anyone say that he violated the marriage policy?
Thinking about Liu Yimin, he smiled, but to establish a political party in New China, at this time it is an absolutely advanced political party, and there are ways to punish violations of policies and discipline. Whether it is Zhao Xiaoman or Jingjing, as long as Liu Yimin openly wants to be polygamous, he will be disciplined.
And what if it's not overt, but secretly?
Liu Yimin didn't dare to think about it, this question was not what he should think about now.
If those leaders knew that Liu Yimin, who they cared for in every way, would have such a messy idea in his mind, I am afraid that he would be sent to the party school to study immediately.
It was only when he walked to the door of the house that Liu Yimin woke up from his cranky thoughts, slapped himself in the face, and scolded himself for not exercising enough party spirit, and he was still far from being a real pure party member, and he always had selfish thoughts at work. After that, I will become a member of the Central Committee, and I will be more thoughtful in thinking about problems and doing things.
When they returned home, they saw Tang Haiyan's face was ashen, and they knew that Tang Xingying had already sent them a telegram.
Sure enough, after entering the living room, I saw Li Yun covering her face and lowering her head and crying mournfully.
Liu Yimin was also a little depressed, thought about it, sat down and said, "Dad, Mom, I didn't expect Xingying to report to the central government and divorce me." It's complicated, and you don't know about it.
I have a relationship with Xing Sakura, even if we are divorced, she is still my wife and the mother of my son. You are still my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the grandparents of He'er and Ping'er. It's not as serious as you think. Don't cry, find out the hot pot stored at home, I will make hot pot at home at night, and invite them to come to the house for dinner. Hurry up and prepare! Li Yun was annoyed when she heard this, and said with a raised face: "It's not like this to bully people." What's wrong with my daughter? In terms of culture and talent, which point is worse than others? Even if my daughter is not good, she is not good, she followed you all the way to fight, and gave birth to two chubby boys, there is no credit and hard work! You are so ruthless that you force her to divorce you? Liu Yimin said: "Things are not like that, there are many complicated issues in the middle, and it is not clear in a few words. When I see Xing Sakura in the future, you will know, I have never forced her to divorce, and I have never thought about divorcing her. I can vouch for that *......"
Li Yun didn't give up: "You said lightly, if you weren't empathetic, where would there be so much trouble?" It's clear on the radio, you have two wives. There is also a woman named Ni Hua, who is Song Meiling's cousin. It must have been Ni Hua who forced you to officially marry her, so that my daughter had to divorce you. And those leaders of yours, obviously forcing my daughter to divorce, still have to come to the house for dinner and drink. I tell you, there are no doors! Don't look at us as ordinary people, and we don't serve you officials! You let me go, I don't want to see you. Liu Yimin was dumbfounded when he heard this, how could he let the chiefs come to the door with his mother-in-law's attitude! This meal must be eaten, and it must be eaten at home, which is a statement!
There was no way, Liu Yimin had no choice but to call out one father and mother after another, and roughly told them about the situation, and repeatedly promised that he would be good to Tang Xingying's mother and son for the rest of his life, and would never let them down.
After all, Li Yun is also an intellectual woman and reasonable. Things have come to this point, what can you do if you don't believe Liu Yimin's words? It is better to believe than not to believe. Besides, she also knew that Liu Yimin was not the kind of man with a huā heart, and he was really good to Tang Xingying and the child, and Tang Xingying made it clear in the telegram that she took the initiative to file for divorce, and Liu Yimin did not know.
Thinking about it, they can bring their families to eat at home, which is also an affirmation of their daughter's identity to a certain extent. Well, if I hadn't decided in my heart that my daughter was still Liu Yimin's wife, who would have come to the house for dinner! These people are all the leaders of the **, and the commanders of the Eighth Route Army are all outstanding people, and they don't know how many times higher than their own level when they consider things!
Tang Haiyan and Li Yun, who had figured it out, hurriedly got up to wash their faces and find things to help Liu Yimin prepare. took out the money again and handed it to Li Hongjun and squad leader Hu to go to the street to buy vegetables and spices.
After the last time Xi'an was bombed by Japanese planes, it was ruined and devastated. But Japanese planes don't come to bomb every day, and people still have to live. Slowly, the evacuated citizens returned to the city one after another, "but the air defense awareness is much stronger, and as long as they hear the gunfire of the air defense post, they will immediately enter the air raid shelter."
According to his qualifications, if he is not a guard for the main seat, "he is at least a battalion commander in the main force." He was very familiar with Xi'an, and led Li Hongjun to buy all the seasonings on Liu Yimin's list, and also bought some tofu, vermicelli, spinach, radish, and cabbage.
The mutton was bought from two live sheep, and Hu Changbao took a few soldiers to clean them and brought them back.
Liu Yimin tied an apron and personally operated the knife, "Let the soldiers who can cook get their hands on it, and they will do it in the kitchen."
At seven o'clock in the evening, ** arrived with everyone" Everyone laughed as soon as they entered the door. I saw a long rack of lamb kebabs in the yard, and the charcoal fire was red" Liu Yimin was wearing an apron and holding a handful of mutton skewers in his hand, smearing oil and seasoning on the meat skewers, and kept churning the mutton skewers on the fire.
Mr. Zhu saw that part of the mutton skewers had been cooked, and the fragrance went straight to his nose, so he smiled and said: "I haven't eaten Liu Yimin's lamb skewers for a long time, and the slander worms in my stomach screamed." Runzhi, Enlai, you look first, I can't wait*......" After speaking, he picked up the cooked lamb skewers on the shelf and ate them, saying that they were delicious and delicious while eating.
This time it's over, Mr. Zhu has done it, who else will wait. Seven hands and eight feet quickly snatched up the cooked lamb skewers on the shelf.
Liu Yimin was careful and knew that there would be many people coming up tonight, and the preparation itself was sufficient. That's it, he doesn't bake as fast as everyone eats. Fortunately, Liu Yimin has good skills, quick movements, non-stop hands, and speed, so that everyone can eat a few skewers.
In the end, the mutton skewers were grilled and eaten, and Liu Yimin beckoned everyone into the house to enter the house.
The courtyard where Liu Yimin lived was the original mansion of a warlord, with a total of two courtyards, wings on both sides, where guards and soldiers lived, and the first row of main houses had a total of nine rooms, which were originally offices, living rooms and staff officers' rooms, and the second row of main houses were his family's living rooms and his study. There are also stables at the back of the yard, which are used to tie war horses.
The banquet was arranged in the large living room of the first row of houses with three rooms, and there were four tables, each table sat eight people, and in addition to the hot copper hot pot and mutton and vegetables on the table, there was also a small bowl in front of each person to hold the dipping sauce.
The bottom of the pot is divided into two kinds: spicy and three fresh, those who love spicy food are responsible together, and those who love to eat three fresh sit together, but they don't disturb each other.
If it is left in the future generations, this kind of hot pot is no more ordinary, and it is all over the street. But now that the national government has just moved to Chongqing, Chongqing's hot pot has not yet opened a restaurant, and the hot pot made by Liu Yimin is certainly attractive.
Liu Yimin picked up his wine glass and said affectionately: "My home is in the mountainous area of western Henan, and the whole village died in the looting of the knifemen. In this world, the ranks of the Red Army are my home, the leaders are my relatives and parents, and my comrades-in-arms are my compatriots and brothers. I am very fortunate to live in such a family with affection and warmth. Tonight, thanks to the presence of all the leaders, I am inexplicably grateful. Come, drink this glass of wine, I wish all the leaders good health, I wish our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to develop and grow, and I wish the great War of Resistance against Japan an early victory! After speaking, "Liu Yimin clinked glasses with everyone one by one and drank them all." It's said to be a good drink, but in fact it's impossible. These people are all burdened with heavy responsibilities, where is it possible to really open their minds and drink! It's the speed of the dishes on the table.
Chen Yun has been married for a short time, and his wife Yu Luhua is still a little shy, so she lowered her head and didn't say a word, and ate quietly.
Liu Yimin came over with a wine glass, and insisted on giving Chen Yun and his family a drink, saying that tonight's meal should be used to congratulate Comrade Chen Yun on his new marriage.
Chen Yun said that they are all old husbands and wives, "Do you still have any newlyweds?" However, it seems that if you don't drink one, I'm sorry for Liu Yimin's hard work, let's drink one!
After drinking, Liu Yimin turned to toast the other comrades. Yu Luhua whispered to Chen Yun: "It turns out that Master Liu is so young and in his prime!" It's time to catch up with Ji Kang of the Western Jin Dynasty. No wonder others are fighting for their heads. If he is in Xi'an, it is estimated that there are young women standing at the gate every day who ask for guidance and study, and it will become the scenery of Xi'an*......"
Chen Yun laughed when he heard this, and he forced Liu Yimin to come over again, "I relayed Mrs.'s words in front of everyone" was so ashamed that Lu Hua's little hands kept beating Chen Yun.
Liu Yimin smiled and turned to toast He Long and them.
He Long's performance moved Liu Yimin. He silently calculated in his heart what the division commanders of the Eighth Route Army would behave when they encountered a rebellion. After doing the math, I feel that if I am purged by Wang Ming and others, ** may write a letter to the central * central government, Liu Bocheng may go to ** to reflect, Xu Xiangqian is likely to sulk in his stomach. As for Dong Zhentang and Luo Binghui of the garrison division and security division, their status in the party is not high, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to say a few hard words to Wang Ming. Only He Long may desperately save him. No way, one person, one character. Well, thinking about what happened to He Long in history, Liu Yimin thought that as long as he had the ability, he must revise history to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy.
Liu Yimin said to He Long that the northwest of Shanxi Province was bitter and scorched, and could only be ripened once a year, and most of it was coarse grain, and the 120th Division had the greatest difficulties. After he returned to Shandong, "he wanted to try to raise a sum of money to support the 120th Division." At the very least, the 120th Division can buy a pair of cattle and sheep from the herdsmen in Inner Mongolia to improve the lives of the Zhan Shi.
As soon as He Long heard Liu Yimin say this, he immediately called the soldiers to remove the wine glasses, bring the bowls, and touch the bowls with Liu Yimin three times in a row. The distressed ** at the adjacent table shouted that He Huzi should not be drunk, his Moutai wine is limited, and he can't stand He Huzi's big bowl of drinking.
**Before the words fell, **, Nie Rongzhen, Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiao*ping, Yang Shangkun, and Chen Changhao all stood up, and they all had to change the big bowls, saying that the 115th Division, the 120th Division, and the Independent Division were all very difficult, Shanxi had been fortified for a long time, and it was a problem for the troops to eat, and the funds and food in the Shaanxi base area were used for disaster relief, and the supply of troops could not be guaranteed. Liu Yimin can't favor one over the other, even if they are drunk, they have to ask the instructor to get some money to let the soldiers improve their lives.
Liu Yimin laughed in his heart and said that Shaanxi's grain was relieved, which is true. Saying that there is no money, then there is only one explanation, these guys' troops are expanding too fast, and the military funds given by the Nationalist Government are definitely not enough, and the money given by the Shaanxi Finance Department is probably not enough. Otherwise, there are gold mines, coal and oil in Tongguan, and a complete fiscal and taxation system, and the instructors don't have a penny from the central government, where will they be short of money!
**Since being inspired by Liu Yimin's expansion of troops in the Battle of Fujia, he has mastered the true meaning of getting married first and then falling in love" The old division has expanded rapidly this year, and his own personality has also changed, and he has to drink with Liu Yimin with a wine bowl. After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said if he could support it, and he could account for part of the master's weapons, even the weapons that the instructor had eliminated. Liu Yimin can't watch the elite 115th Division not have all the weapons, right?
This meal of wine has become a debt collection party. Liu Yimin's head was too big to drink, but he didn't faint, and he made it very clear to several division leaders, it was still the old way, weapons and money were exchanged for people, and there was no need for much, and a division sent him a Red Army battalion, which must be an old Red Army of one color. Otherwise, the troops will be transferred, and he will send out a well-equipped garrison brigade and replace it with an empty-handed old Red Regiment. In the end, it was decided that one battalion of the old Red Army would be drawn from the 115th Division, the Independent Division, the 120th Division, the 129th Division, the Garrison Division, and the Security Division to support the instructors in expanding the troops. In addition to the artillery and shells that had already been shipped, the instructor provided a batch of weapons, ammunition, and military expenses to the 115th Division, the Independent Division, the 120th Division, and the 129th Division. Later, after the normal operation of the Shandong Arsenal, several divisions were regularly replenished with ammunition.
After the banquet, the male comrades all left, and Sister Deng, Sister He, Sister Kang, and Sister Liu all stayed behind and talked to Li Yun for a long time, mainly to convince her.
They are all lesbians, Li Yun's age is not very large, only a little more than forty, and they can talk to Deng Yingchao very well. But as soon as Tang Xingying's divorce was mentioned, she couldn't help but shed tears. said that Liu Yimin failed Tang Xingying, and his daughter didn't know what to do in Shandong.
Deng Yingchao persuaded Li Yun and his family to go to Shandong to take care of the lives of Tang Xingying and their two children, and they could also work in Shandong and give full play to their professional talents.
Li Yun knew that these women were the wives of **, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and Zhang Wentian, and they were also cadres at the level of the first generation, and they were very authoritative. said to Deng Yingchao that Liu Yimin would not let them go to Shandong, otherwise he would like to ask Sister Deng and the chiefs to talk about it, and transfer the girl back, so as not to be embarrassed in Shandong.
When Deng Yingchao heard this, he called Liu Yimin, saying that he was unreasonable, and the old man wanted to go to Shandong to visit his daughter and grandson, which was a natural thing, how could he not let him go? Didn't the central government already approve them to go, why didn't Liu Yimin agree?
After talking about Liu Yimin, Deng Yingchao persuaded Li Yun that Tang Xingying is now the director of the Shandong Women's Committee, and she is in charge of a large part of the work, and she has a lot of responsibility, so it is impossible to transfer her back. If she is transferred back, she will have to be replaced by a suitable cadre. I can't find a suitable candidate for a while, so it's better for you to go to Shandong.
Liu Yimin wanted to test his conjecture on the road, so he pulled He Zizhen and Liu Ying aside and asked if he could transfer Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing back, he really had a headache now.
Liu Ying was anxious, and without waiting for He Zizhen to answer, she refused. Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing were transferred by the Central Committee in order to strengthen Shandong's propaganda work. Not only could the two of them not be transferred back, but Tang Xingying could not be transferred back, but they also had to suggest that the Shandong Bureau study and adjust their work. One of them can be selected and transferred from the two of them to serve as the secretary of the Shandong Bureau and the Party Committee of the Teaching Instructor, who will act with the main leading comrades and be responsible for the minutes of important meetings.
was so frightened that Liu Yimin hurriedly shook his head, saying that Zhao Xiaoman and Jingjing's jobs were very important and could not be adjusted.
Liu Ying advised Liu Yimin that now that he is a member of the Central Committee, his eyes must be brighter, his heels must be firm, and he must not live up to the trust of the comrades of the whole party. In the future, you have to be careful and strict with yourself. Liu Yimin was ashamed.
On the morning of the next day, Liu Yimin went to visit Li Fuchun, who was in charge of the economy, and talked with him about the implementation of the universal deposit and exchange rate and the unified tax rate. Then he went to see Wang Ming and explained to him that he did not mean to deny the leadership of the Comintern, but that it was a period of unity to resist Japan, and that the leadership of the Comintern was an internal matter of our party, and it was generally not suitable to be reflected in documents and speeches, so as not to leak secrets. Please Comrade Wang Ming not misunderstand.
In the afternoon, Liu Yimin met Zeng Zhao, who had rushed back from Mianxian County, and Sun Jiaqi, the director of the pharmaceutical factory, and talked with them all the time about dinner.
At 3 o'clock in the night of November 29, Liu Yimin left Xi'an with Hu Changbao and his father-in-law and mother-in-law and returned to Shandong by plane.
