The cooking turned out to be in the room, and the fire was blazing in the small stove in the corner, Pu Congsen's wife was no longer the appearance of the former official wife, and her unkempt face made Tian Qingying think that she was a country woman. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is ......" By the light of the fire in front of the stove, seeing her husband standing with a strange officer, who was still holding her daughter, Mrs. Pu asked a simple question, and then bent down to scoop up the water. The rice is gone, go buy some rice. She said.

"Sister-in-law Yi, I'm Qingying." Seeing Tian Qingying again, she was stunned, and saw that she didn't recognize herself, so she had to speak by herself.

"Qingying, are you Qingying?" Mrs. Pu straightened up. Pu Congsen also smiled: "He is Qingying, he went to the United States, and now he is back, and he came back by plane." ”

"It's really you, I can't even recognize you, why are you ......" Mrs. Pu pulled her hair and laughed. The little secretary of this band, when he was in Nanjing, often came to the house for dinner, and called himself a sister-in-law, and he disappeared after Nanjing, and his husband said that he might have been martyred, and later said that he might have left with Commander Chen.

"He is now following Commander Li, no longer being a secretary, he is a pilot." Pu Congsen said with a smile on the side, although he didn't go out, he was quite proud that his subordinate went out and flew on the plane. "And Jiang Xihai, who can't blow the trumpet in the team, also flew on the plane and became a pilot."

"Yes, Jiang Xihai is, he is now with my team." Tian Qingying smiled, the house was dark, he adapted to the light and found the table, so he put the things he was carrying on the table, "This is what Jiang Xihai asked me to bring, this is what I brought." ”

"Why are you still bringing something?" Mrs. Pu blamed and pushed her husband again, "Go buy rice, buy some wine, and buy some meat." ”

While he was still outside, Pu Congsen hurriedly ran out of the door, and there was a rice shop in the cockscomb stone half a mile away. Tian Qingying watched him go, and then looked at Mrs. Pu who was pouring water to make tea, and sighed: "Sister-in-law Yi has worked hard in the past few years. ”

"Hey." When Mrs. Pu poured tea, she figured out what was going on with Tian Qingying, he must have gone abroad to follow Li Hansheng. is not like her husband, who stays in the country and has no interest at all. "If you are bitter, you should think about others, and there are even more bitter ones. Let's have tea. Mrs. Pu looked at Tian Qingying again after serving the tea, and asked with a smile, "Are you married now?" ”

"Get married..."Tian Qingying shook her head, "We were smuggled into the United States, and we trained ...... every day." Yes, later there was an order from the Aviation Department, saying that they could not get married until the war was over. ”

"So strict?" Mrs. Pu went back to the small stove and waited for the vegetables that her husband had bought, and she had to boil the water first when the pot was empty.

"Yes. That's what the pilot said, Boss Chen. However, the commander said that special circumstances can be settled, and it is estimated that it is him and Mrs. Li. Tian Qingying explained, he saw that Mrs. Pu was struggling to scoop water, so he went over and said, "I'll scoop it." ”

"Mrs. Li ......" Li Kongrong's matter has long been a daily conversation among the navy's families. Everyone knows that Mrs. Li and her children were killed by the bomb, and after Li Kongrong was in a car accident in Germany, the women said that they must have been martyred, but fortunately they did not die. As for the matter between him and the singer Xu Xiaoman, everyone didn't take it seriously, until the Li family broke the marriage contract, and they didn't know that Xu Xiaoman was the new Mrs. Li.

"Yes. We met her once in San Francisco, and she was in the same state of the mountains as my sister-in-law. As soon as she left, we went to the street to buy her paintings and paste them in the dormitory, and Boss Chen checked and found that they were all torn, so we secretly went to buy them again. Tian Qingying laughed while scooping water. He was actually eliminated by the aviation school because of the slow reaction, but the helicopter saved him, the helicopter is slow and does not need to be as agile as a fighter pilot. "Ah, there's no water, where is the well, I'll go fetch water."

'It's the same as Sister-in-law'. Tian Qingying dived, Mrs. Pu's mind was full of this sentence, she was unkempt and didn't know how many days it had been, but there were still people who remembered how beautiful she used to be.

"So the Ministry of Military Affairs agreed to you coming?" The pot was still stir-frying, Pu Congsen, Tian Qingying, and Pu Changkun and Ji Wanlin, who lived next door, were already drinking with peanuts. After a few glasses of rice wine, Pu Congsen talked about today's events. He remembered that after Chen Shaokuan returned to China, he would not allow his subordinates to talk about the new navy, at least the headquarters.

"Yes. He said that he wanted us to come up with equipment and form a new team, but the commander said that it was okay, but we would use people from the Central Navy. "Tian Qingying knows a limited amount, but the new team knows.

"Why can't Commander Li talk to the Central Committee and take all of us out of the thousands of people?!" Pu Congsen drank a glass of wine and slapped it on the table.

"Yes, we are also in the navy, and we are all from Fujian...... Ji Wanlin also said, it is the band score, he is not even an officer, he used to live on a monthly dollar allowance, but now the allowance has stopped, and the family is poor. His wife helped Mrs. Pu wash and chop vegetables, and the children were also at Pu's house, and the family came to eat.

"The commander wants to do the same." Tian Qingying knew the reason for this matter, and he said, "But the central government won't let it." Boss Chen said that Chang Kaishen was blackmailing us, detaining the people of the navy, asking for this and that, not giving money, but also borrowing money, and lending 10 million US dollars to the Ministry of Finance at the beginning of this month......"

"Ten million dollars?!" Pu Congsen couldn't put down his chopsticks for a long time, "Yeba! Knocked us so much money? ”

"Brother Qingying, how much money does the navy have?" Ji Wanlin was also taken aback, he used to have a monthly allowance of only five US dollars, but now he borrows 10 million US dollars, how many five US dollars does this cost.

"The commander bought several shipyards and steel plants in the United States, but no one wanted them when they bought them, and a few of them were still bankrupt, and now the Germans are breaking diplomatic relations in the Atlantic, and British merchant ships are sinking a few in a day, and the price of ships is more expensive every day, and the whole United States is rushing to build shipyards. We have several shipyards, and they build faster than others, people build a 10,000-ton ship for a year, we can earn nearly 10,000 tons for a maximum of two months, a 10,000-ton ship can earn nearly 1 million, and 20 or 30 ships are launched a year, which is tens of millions......

"The shipyard is a cornucopia!" Pu Changkun couldn't help but interrupt: "I remember that during the last war, the Jiangnan Plant built four 10,000-ton ships, steel plates, boilers, and all the materials were sent by the Americans themselves. ”

"It's a cornucopia, and everyone knows it. But it costs money to buy an airplane, build an aircraft carrier, lend money to the Ministry of Finance, and raise a few thousand people, so it has to be sold. Tian Qingying said.

"Sold!" Several men slapped their thighs together, they didn't know that joining the new navy would give them stocks according to their rank and length of service, but the navy was theirs, and they were sorry to hear that the shipyard had been sold.

"The commander said he bought it." Tian Qingying also regretted, "He told us: If you have money, you can have a cannon, and if you have a cannon, you can grab it." There is nothing in this world that cannot be robbed, but we are afraid that we will not be angry, we will not be able to beat others, and we will be robbed by others if we can't rob others. As long as Japan is defeated, we will be the occupying army, and we will have whatever we want. ”

Li Kongrong's bandit words have become a source of encouragement for the officers and men of the navy; if Pu Congsen had said that this was uncivilized in the past, but now that the Japanese have robbed the whole of China, the cannon is justice and the caliber is the truth, although everyone does not say it, the reality of blood has long instilled it in the hearts of the people. He, the band leader, raised his glass and said loudly: "I propose: toast to our Commander Li's great rhetoric." ”

"Cheers!" Tian Qingying, Pu Changkun, and Ji Wanlin, who had long been excited, immediately poured a cup.

"I propose again: Cheers to the occupation forces in the fight against Japan." Pu Congsen continued to raise his glass, and the four men toasted again.

"I propose again: toast to the Chinese Volunteer Navy that 'has what you want', and to the Republic of China Navy that 'has nothing if you want'." Pu Congsen shook his body, he was already drunk.

"Brother Qingying, let me ask a few words. If you want to form a new team, we ......" Ji Wanlin not only did not get drunk but became more and more sober, and after drinking for a while, he asked about the new team. "Just like me, there's Changkun, and ...... Captain, can people like us get in? ”

"I don't know." Tian Qingying could probably guess the embarrassment of Ji Wanlin and the others -- Pu Congsen bought two kinds of rice just now, a small bag of white rice was eaten tonight, and the other big bag was eaten by himself, which was broken old rice mixed with bran. "I can ask tomorrow, but I'm so slight that I can't ask anything nine times out of ten."

"Just ask, just ask." What Ji Wanlin wants is for him to nod, and his nod is hope.

There is wine, meat, and hope, and a bowl for a meal to eat. Pu Congsen drank too much, and fell asleep while eating, and finally waited for Ji Wanlin and Pu Changkun to also faint, Tian Qingying stood up and called Mrs. Pu, who was cleaning up with Mrs. Ji, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back now." ”

"Ahh Why don't you go back now? Just live here...... "This is not as good as Nanjing, a family of four has only one room, Mrs. Pu was a little embarrassed as soon as she spoke, Tian Qingying really left no place to sleep.

"Sister-in-law Yi has been really bitter in the past few years." Although Mrs. Pu's hair was tied up, her messy hair still ran over her face. Tian Qing's English tone suddenly became a little different. "Sister-in-law, this is ......" he pulled out a paper bag, which had been prepared before he came. Buy some food for the child, buy some wine for the eldest brother, sister-in-law used to wear cheongsam, if you want to buy a cheongsam, buy a cheongsam. ”

The paper package was thick, and Mrs. Pu hurriedly postponed it as soon as she touched it, "How can this work!" You're not married yet, you're ......"

"Take it, sister-in-law." Tian Qingying grabbed Mrs. Pu's cold hand, stuffed the wrapped eight hundred dollars into her hand, and walked out quickly before she could react. The rare moon and stars outside were scarce, and he sang a song out of the navy village. Far away from the helicopter, he heard Jiang Xihai's shout: "I have a horse (wife), I have a horse......

"Sir, you also went to the military village, did someone introduce you to fishing horses?" He Lun, who was on the same plane, saw Tian Qingying coming back full of alcohol, so he asked. The four of them are all singles, but as soon as Jiang Xihai entered the military village, someone introduced the woman, and the meal was set, saying that he was a female middle school student like a flower, what a dog, he grew into this turtle to marry a female middle school student, and he was like a flower, and he knew that he would also go to the military village.

"Forgot that Boss Chen said that you can't get married, what about the introduction?" Tian Qingying was not worried or happy, as if the salary he had saved for two years was still in his inner pocket.

"Then how did the Commander get married?" He Lun smiled, "Boss Chen is talking about carrier-based aircraft pilots, and we are helicopter pilots. Sir, you are familiar with the village, take me and Zu Yi in tomorrow, we are two alone, and we also want to find a horse. ”

"Go, go, go. I have to fly to Yichang every day, what do I want to catch a horse, and I use my hands to do it. Speaking of women, Tian Qingying had a headache, he got on the helicopter, pulled the military quilt from under the seat, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the cabin floor.

*

Below is the turbulent Yangtze River, flanked by towering cliffs, this is the Three Gorges, the majestic and precipitous Three Gorges. The rock walls are green and white, the plank road looms, and when the apes cries, the sound even overshadows the engine. Tian Qingying couldn't help but think of Li Bai's 'The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has crossed the ten thousand mountains', but he was not taking a light boat, but a helicopter suspended in the air.

"This is the gate." Major General Yang Qingzhen, who was on the same plane, pointed out the window. "There are still more than 170 kilometers to Yichang. It should be faster, and at this time I am worried about the Japanese plane. ”

Chongqing is the capital of fog, and there are no air raids at this time, but Yiwan is different, and Japanese planes generally go to Chongqing along the Yangtze River. Every time a plane taking off from Wuhan arrives in Yichang, the surveillance post on Chijia Mountain in Kuimen can see it. Now the co-pilot is also listening to the air defense siren, and once there is a police helicopter, it will find a place to land.

"We fly low, the plane is small, and the high-flying Japanese planes can't see us." Zeng Guosheng explained. "The commander is still in Yichang, right?"

"It should be there." Zhou Yingcong, who was beside Yang Qingzhen, smiled, Chen Shaokuan was really angry with the Volunteer Navy, Zeng Guosheng and Li Kongrong had sworn in the United States, so he regarded it as a betrayal. "Helicopters are no faster than ships, and when we suddenly appeared in Yichang, everyone was going to be surprised."

Zhou Yingcong was talking from the helicopter, and the officers and men of the air defense surveillance post on Chijia Mountain, the highest peak in Kuimen, and the Fengjie Fort of the Fourth General Station in the Bawan Fortress Area, saw that the helicopter first jumped down, and then saw clearly that it was the blue sky and white sun emblem on it, and they all took off their hats and jumped with cheers -- this was their own plane.

"Fly lower, slower." Zeng Guosheng patted Tian Qingying. After last night, he also knew how hard his navy comrades had been in Chongqing, so he put on the plane today and put out more than a dozen sacks of condolences, and threw a sack down when he flew to a place where there was a naval battery, which could be regarded as a kind of condolence to the officers and men.

The Fengjie Fort was built at the northeast port of Qutang Gorge, and unlike other forts hidden in the mountains, it was placed outside. The helicopter slowly approached, and all the people on the battery stood up and waved and shouted, but the engine was so loud that they couldn't hear what they were shouting. At this time, the other helicopter flew lower, the hatch opened, and the sack fell down, and the naval soldiers below caught it and reached out to grab a cigarette from it, and everyone rushed for a while.
