After the rain, a brand-new black horse pickup truck is speeding down a newly built small road.

This car is produced by Vietnam Hongsheng Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Boliao Industrial Village, Ford imported engine, self-developed chassis, the shape is completely different from Ford F series pickups, there are two rows of seats in front instead of one, which can both sit and pull goods, and is the best-selling model of Hongsheng Company.

In order to prevent the contents of the carriage from getting wet in the rain, it is covered with a thick layer of tarpaulin and tied tightly with nylon rope.

The driver didn't seem to be very familiar with the road, and after passing an intersection, he deliberately slowed down to look at the signs. In the passenger seat sat a woman in her twenties with a beautiful face, holding a little boy of three or four years old. The rear seats are full of daily necessities such as boiling water bottles and enamel plates.

The child sees everything fresh, neither crying nor making trouble, but the mother's eyes are a little dull, and she hugs the child tightly without saying a word.

These days, Du Shimei is like a dream, and she is still in a trance.

One night more than 20 days ago, after dinner, the child was put to sleep, and he was about to go to Liubo for a meeting, when a group of "puppet soldiers" came into the village, they were well-equipped and well-trained. In a hurry, the guerrillas could not withstand it at all, and the captain and instructor died as soon as they exchanged fire.

There is no gun on his body, there is nothing suspicious at home, and there are villagers and his son as cover, so he can mix in the search and arrest as before, but he didn't expect his identity to be exposed, and he arrested several of their county party committee cadres to Yongshaoyi.

When he applied to join the party, he took an oath and was mentally prepared to dedicate his life to the revolutionary cause. I have been on the battlefield and fought several ambushes. She is not afraid of death. It's just reluctant to have children.

Just when she thought she would be tortured, **** or even shot. A female officer of the puppet army appeared in front of her, not only booing and asking for warmth in a false way, but also brought the child over.

Du Shimei was completely desperate, for fear that she would threaten her child. Unexpectedly, the female officer didn't ask anything, but took her out of the cell to bathe, eat, change clothes, check her body, and then drove her mother and son to the embankment with several puppet soldiers.

In a beautiful two-story building on the embankment, I saw a few inexplicable people.

Let you suffer, your mother and son are frightened. Now that it's safe, don't be afraid, it's like home here...... Words like these are on the lips, giving money, clothes, fruits, snacks, toys, and the enthusiasm is incredible.

The child is around, it is inconvenient to move, and he does not dare to run if he wants to.

He stayed on the embankment for three or four days with anxiety, and it was not until he appeared in front of him with a guilty face that he knew what was all about.

He was not a traitor, but a spy disguised as a progressive youth who infiltrated the organization and wreaked havoc. So many men and so many cadres in the liberated areas. Why did you marry him? Living together for four or five years, how come you don't notice it at all?

The child is so old and ...... Moreover...... He was really true to himself.

The conditions in the liberated areas are difficult and materials are scarce, and if there is good food, they will first cling to her, and then when they have children, they will be close to them first. As long as he's at home, he does all the work, doesn't have to do it with her, and isn't as macho as other gay men.

One day husband and wife, all kinds of past always come to mind like a movie, love and hate him, want to break off with him, draw a line, but he can't make up his mind.

The task is completed, the identity is exposed, and Fang Le no longer has to perform the hidden mission. Because of his wife's relationship, he also can't continue to do his old job like Ruan Chundao.

In view of the contribution made during the incubation period, Headquarters was awarded an additional bonus of 500,000 piastes and a car, in addition to the retroactive annual salary.

As for what to do in the future, the headquarters gave several options.

You can help their family immigrate to Hong Kong or Singapore and arrange a job with a good salary. You can pay the tuition fee for him to go to Phu Quoc University of Technology or Industrial Village Community College to learn something, get a degree, start a business or find a better job in the future.

Hong Kong and Singaporean people are not familiar with each other, and they don't even understand the language, so their wives and children will not get used to it.

Not to mention going to college, first, after so many years of lurking, all the things learned in middle school have been returned to the teacher, and you will definitely not be able to keep up with going to college directly. Second, not only did his wife's ideological work not work, but she needed time to accompany her. And there is one more thing she is still in the dark and needs to find a way to make her accept it slowly.

She always thought that she was Vietnamese, but in fact she was not, and even the name she used before was fake.

Fang Lexian sighed secretly, leaned on the steering wheel and pretended to be relaxed: "Shi Ping, are you hungry, you're almost home, hold on a little longer." ”

"Daddy, I'm hungry!"

The wife was silent, and the son was energetic, Fang Le slowed down the car first, reached out and took out a bag of biscuits from the back row, and smiled slowly: "Xiao An, eat slowly, don't choke." ”

The child is definitely the bond that maintains the relationship, Du Shimei took a few deep breaths in a row, leaned over and took out a bottle of soda: "There is water here, eat a piece and drink a sip." ”

Perform hidden missions and be scared all day long.

Fang Lexian didn't like crowded places and wanted to live a few quiet days, so he took the initiative to ask the headquarters to place him in Mangshan Village, which had beautiful scenery and was like a paradise.

It is a Catholic village, most of the villagers moved from North Vietnam in 1954, and there are more than 2,000 people in the village who make a living by growing rice and farming. The reason why such an inconspicuous village can be connected to the road has a lot to do with the neighboring Nong resettlement village.

The surrounding security is very good, and only two military vehicles patrol from Dishi here.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the village, he could see two Catholic militiamen with rifles on their backs from a distance, Fang Le let go of the accelerator first, and slowly slid to the front of the two, and as soon as he rolled down the window, one of the militiamen grinned and asked, "Principal Gao, the village chief, the priest and Dr. Zhang have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Bai Yugao is the name used when it is latent, and it is estimated that it will continue to be used for a while.

The first principal of Mangshan Village Primary School is his new job, and the school building funded by the province has just been completed. Until then, the village children had always been taught by priests, and the place where classes were held was always the church.

The clinic was opened just last year. I was introduced by Mr. Kuai before I came. Dr. Zhang in the mouth of the militia is a Chinese in Hoi An. He was a student of the sixth class of the medical training course of Da Nang Industrial Village Community College, and spent one year as an intern at Chong Trung Hospital. There are many "two knives" like Dr. Zhang who can only see minor diseases, and all of them work in rural areas, and graduates of the medical school of Phu Quoc University of Technology usually go to big hospitals and do not come to such a remote place.

As everywhere, there is a lot of respect for teachers.

Just as they were about to take out their documents for the militia to check, the peasants working in the fields threw down their farm tools and ran from all directions, and the children who had been waiting for a long time laughed and rushed towards this side. In the blink of an eye, the pickup truck was surrounded by water.

"Principal Gao, I haven't eaten, I have zongzi here."

"Eat eggs, I have boiled eggs here!"

"Principal Gao, this is your son, the children in the city are just different, they look so good."

"Hello folks, hello classmates."

Fang Le pushed the car door first, and while nodding and greeting the enthusiastic crowd, he smiled and introduced: "My wife Nguyen Thi Mai. Directly called Amei. My son Yu'an, nicknamed An'an. You're so polite that I'm embarrassed. ”

A woman in her thirties saw that Ruan Thi Mei seemed to be a little sluggish, and couldn't help but ask: "Principal Gao, is Ah Mei feeling unwell, if she is not feeling well, go to the clinic and let Dr. Zhang take a look." ”

"Motion sickness, she's a little motion sickness, just take a break."

The headmaster, like the village chief, the priest, and the doctor, was the most respected person in the village, and the militia standing guard could not let them block the headmaster at the entrance of the village, clapped his hands and said, "Get out of the way, get out of the way." There are also zongzi, take them aside, the meal has been prepared early, and the village chief and priest are waiting to pick up the wind for Principal Gao. ”

The militia, who was trotting ahead and leading the way, drove the car into the village and greeted more people.

The village chief was short, thin, in his 50s, barefoot, with an armed belt around his waist and an American pistol. The priest, who was in his 40s, did not wear a black robe, but wore a cross on his chest, and welcomed the arrival of the principal's family. Dr. Zhang, who was flirting with a village girl with big pigtails, enthusiastically invited the family into the village for dinner.

I don't know how many bowls of rice wine I drank, and I don't know how the luggage and daily necessities in the car were moved into the school dormitory.

When I woke up, the sun was about to set, my wife was sitting at my desk in a daze, and my son seemed to be playing outside with the children in the village, laughing and playing.

"They can really drink, bowl after bowl, oops, I haven't been drunk in so many years, I have a headache, I feel uncomfortable."

Du Shimei turned around and said coldly: "I haven't been drunk, do you dare to drink in the liberated area?" ”

When you get drunk, you will talk mushy, and once you say something, you will be in danger of losing your head, and you really don't dare to drink during the incubation period, and you almost didn't drink in those years.

Fang Le scratched his head first, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Amei, the past is all over, don't mention it again, let's start again." ”

"Ah Shou is dead, Ah Qing is dead, the fourth uncle is dead, and the sixth uncle is dead...... All those who have drunk our wine are dead. Dreaming of them every day, how do you make me start over? ”

Du Shimei was emotional, and burst into tears as she spoke.

You live and die, doing this line of work is like this, Fang Lexian took a deep breath, held his wife's hand tightly and said: "Amei, the war is so cruel, standing on their side, they are not wrong." From my standpoint, I'm right. ”

"What is your position, you spy, you are a traitor!"

Here it is again, how bad it is to be heard by outsiders.

Fang Le closed the door first, stared at her eyes and asked, "How did Brother Feng die, he was buried alive by his own people, and he died so miserably, just because his grandfather and his father saved money and left him more than forty acres of land." He's your cousin, and you've watched him grow up, and until we met, he's still helping your family.

Is he a bad guy, is he an enemy, isn't it! Not only did he never do anything bad, but he also helped the Vietminh more than once, and even saved the life of District Party Secretary Tran Van Giang. The public food that should be paid is a lot of money, and when you ask for money, you can give as much as you want, but what is the result? ”

My cousin died unjustly, and hundreds of people were killed like my cousin in the liberated areas for land reform. Du Shimei's heart was like a knife, and she sat on the stool and cried vigorously.

Fang Le took a deep breath first, and then said, "You ask me what my position is, my position is to let everyone live a peaceful life like those villagers outside. You don't have to worry about being caught for saying the wrong thing, and you don't have to worry about earning some money with hard work but becoming the target of repression. ”

Du Shimei choked up without confidence: "That's ...... It was a deviation in the execution of the person below, and it didn't happen after it was corrected. ”

"Deviation. Human lives matter. One sentence of deviation is over? ”

Men who were sent to carry out undercover missions within the Southern Liberation Solution. Most of them have a blood feud with the Vietminh. Fang Lexian was the same, he hugged his wife tightly, and said with tears in his eyes: "I never told you, in fact, before I met you, my family all died at the hands of the Viet Minh. ”

Du Shimei was stunned for a moment, and the ghost asked in a daze: "Why?" ”

"My family used to run a restaurant in Hanoi, with my father in charge and my mother in charge of greeting customers. Although the place is very small, only four tables can be placed, and many guests can only sit outside, but my food is good, and business has always been good, not only do I have no worries about food and clothing, but also can provide for me to study.

One day a few customers came to the store, and they sat down at the table by the door to eat. The location of my restaurant is not good, and most of the people who go to eat are regulars. My mother talks a lot and always likes to talk to guests. Nothing happened that day, they finished eating and left.

A few days passed. They came again, and my mother was doing the same with them again, and my dad saw that she was chatting energetically, so he simply served the food himself. My mother didn't notice that there was someone behind her, and accidentally touched my father, and the food was spilled, and a guest was spilled, and when I was helping them wipe the grease stains, my father and my mother found that they had guns on them. ”

"And then?"

"A few days later, when I came back from outside, I found them all lying in the store, all covered in blood, and the murderer was using a knife, and there were many wounds on his body...... Later, I later learned that on the afternoon of the discovery that they had guns on them, my father went to help me with a neighbor because of my work, and the neighbor's son worked at the police station.

It was precisely that night that two of the people who went to eat at the restaurant were arrested by the police, confirmed to be Viet Minh, and were shot dead by the French a few days later. The one who ran away thought it was my parents' snitch, so he ...... So the killer was killed. ”

It turned out that her father-in-law and mother-in-law died like this, and Du Shimei was silent for a while before she asked in a mosquito-like voice: "You...... You...... How do you know? ”

"The murderer was also arrested later, and he took the initiative to confess, saying that he was not the only one who did it, and it was their organization to carry out revenge."

"Right...... I'm sorry. ”

Fang Lexian wiped her tears from her and said solemnly: "It's none of your business, the reason why I say this is just to tell you that they may be right from their standpoint, but in general, they are indeed wrong, and they are very wrong." The reason for the revolution is to make everyone live a good life.

You have also seen how the villagers in Mangshan Village are doing, every family has land, everyone can eat enough, raise chickens, raise ducks and pigs and engage in side jobs and have a good income, children have books to study, there is a place to read when they are sick, there are not so many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there is no need to pay any public grain, there is no need to worry about it, and life is much better than that of the peasants in the liberated areas, and such villages are very common in the lower six provinces. Why do you have to toss a good day? ”

"There are no taxes here, Xining does. Don't catch strong people here, Xining does. ”

"Then have you ever thought about why Xining 55, 56, and 57 didn't pay too many harsh taxes in those years, why didn't they catch strong men, and why did the people live and work in peace and contentment?"

Fang Le asked rhetorically first, and continued with her in a seductive manner: "The reason is very simple, North Vietnam wants to overthrow the Saigon government, so it sent people to develop the organization in the past, pull the team, carry out land reform, and ambush the National-Army. One for the sake of ethereal ism, the other for maintaining its rule, and in the end it is the common people who are unlucky.

Besides, the South Liberation Army collects less than the national army? As for catching Zhuangding, Nanjie will catch it the same, but in a different way. Mobilizing demagoguery, even teenagers, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, who is righteous and who is unjust. ”

"We are for national reunification and national independence."

His wife's "poisoning" was too deep, and this ideological work was not easy to do, Fang Lexian sighed secretly, and patiently persuaded him: "Amei, the unification of the country is the same as living a life for two people, the north and the south have different social-social-social-system-different lifestyles, those who like the way of life in Soviet Russia go to the north, and those who like freedom to come to the south, how good it is to come according to their own wishes like in 1954, why do you have to get together?"

As for national independence, the French left long ago, and the Americans did not look down on this place, and the reason why they came here was purely to resist the expansion of the Soviet and Russian camps.

is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other, why do you have to fight and kill, you have the ability to compare the economy, and who can make the people live a good life. You went to North Vietnam to study, are the peasants there better off than in the south, no, not to mention that they can't be compared with Mangshan Village, even the peasants in the liberated areas are not as good, and even starved to death a few years ago.
