Yang Bin, chief of staff of the Reading Division, lay on the sofa on the east side of the hall of the western-style building, chatting and laughing in a low voice with Lao Zhao's two sons, and Liu Yinglong, Yang Bin's adjutant and chief of the guard, leaned in front of the wide window, smoking with Chen Yu, the deputy captain of the An Yi Guard, and told Chen Yu in detail about the fiasco in Si County.

An Yi didn't enter the house, the sound arrived, Chen Yu and Liu Yinglong threw the cigarette butts into the ashtray to welcome them out, An Yi strode into the door and nodded to the two to say hello, walked to Yang Bin and touched the heads of the two sensible children and told the children to go back to sleep, and then sat on the sofa next to Yang Bin and took out a cigarette:

"Lie down, don't be reckless, your wound is very seriously inflamed, or Liu Yinglong will send you back to Nanjing for surgery in time, maybe you will become a one-armed general."

Liu Yinglong quickly stepped forward to help Yang Bin sit up, adding a pillow behind him, Yang Bin half-lay down and asked, "Come back so late, won't you drink with your brothers and sisters again?" ”

"Chen Yu, tell the brothers in the guard to have a meeting together."

After An Yi finished explaining, he whispered a brief description of the afternoon and evening events to Yang Bin, and sighed regretfully after speaking: "If your injury is not so serious, it would be good to go back with me tomorrow morning, without you by your side, Lao Tzu is really not used to it." ”

Yang Bin struggled to sit up straight: "I'll go back with you!" ”

"Joke! Bekiba is capable, he has just returned from the front line for two days, and the high fever has not subsided after the operation, can you command the brothers? In the past two days, my sister-in-law and your children are going to Nanjing, what are you doing in a hurry to go to the front line at this time? After a 10-day break, I plan to have Chen Yu lead eight brothers to form a left-behind group, and they will stay behind to be responsible for establishing our liaison office in Nanjing.

During this period of war, the war was frustrated, the political situation was turbulent, many rich people in Nanjing have left, the residents of our thick lane are some people with heads and faces, and many have left, Chen Yu has bought two properties at the corner of the street in the past few days, and the 38th and 42nd yards opposite are also to be sold, Chen Yu is bargaining with two homeowners, it is estimated that the transaction will be completed the day after tomorrow, let's try to buy as many properties as possible in this vicinity, which is an investment.

There are many acquaintances in the middle and high-level directors of the newly established municipal axe, and the real estate procedures are very simple, and my sister is not good. When the time comes, you can choose a yard to settle your wife and children, and in the next ten or eight years, I am afraid that you will have to settle in Nanjing and Lao Nanchang. An Yi was thoughtful and generous for his brothers.

Yang Bin smiled gratefully: "I still want to go back to the front line, you will have the backbone of the whole senior brother after you are reinstated, I see that you are a bamboo in the chest, I know that the battle will definitely be much easier, I don't want to miss this opportunity." ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"

An Yi glanced at Yang Bin, glanced at the brothers under his command who were standing around him, motioned for everyone to sit down, and finished his reinstatement in a few words, and then designated Chen Yu as the left-behind captain, leading the eight brothers to carry out various tasks, and was responsible for the safety and security of Yang Bin and Gong Qian's family:

“…… Chen Yu, all the affairs will be handed over to you, not only to pay close attention to the business, but also to complete the expansion project as soon as possible, and to ask Chief of Staff Yang in time when there is a problem, after going back, I will ask Peng Jianqing to send a radio team back to strengthen your team, and I will find a way to get two radio stations for you in Nanjing. Remember, intelligence gathering is very important, you have to start from now on, your task is not lighter, it is heavier than being on the front line, understand? ”

"My subordinates understand!"

The steady Chen Yu replied solemnly.

An Yi asked everyone what questions they had? Chen Yu raised the problem of contact with the military headquarters and the general headquarters so that An Yi solved it in a few words, An Yi saw that everyone did not add, stood up and told Yang Bin to rest early, called Lin Yaodong to tell a few words and came to Gong Qian's house next door to knock on the door.

After Wu's mother opened the door, she asked An Yi to stand, sniffed and said with satisfaction that she didn't drink, which was good.

An Yi laughed embarrassedly, helped cover the door and helped Wu's mother walk to the front hall, Gong Qian, who heard the movement, had already prepared the fragrant tea, Wu's mother knew that her sister and brother had something to talk about and didn't want to join in the fun, so she ordered two sentences to go back to the west room to rest.

Gong Qian put down the teapot after pouring the tea, and stared at An Yi who was sitting on the side for a while: "There must be a happy event to sweep away the decline with flying spirits, right?" ”

"This also makes you see, amazing!"

An Yi smiled and told Gong Qian in detail about the afternoon and evening, Gong Qian was overjoyed to hear it and exclaimed from time to time, but finally locked her eyebrows and looked at An Yi blankly, her beautiful face was full of worry and loss. Seeing this, An Yi stopped explaining and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Not happy for the little brother? ”

Gong Qian stretched out her white and soft hand and gently brought the teacup to An Yi's hand: "Sister is happy, but I can't be happy when I think of the rain of bullets on the front line, although my sister doesn't understand military affairs, but judging from the fact that you have such a secret responsibility as Commander-in-Chief Jiang, the war you face is by no means easy." ”

An Yi took a big sip from the cup, put down the cup and comforted Gong Qian in a low voice: "Don't hide it from my sister, the younger brother already has three plans in his heart, and he is confident that he can successfully take Si County, tomorrow morning, the younger brother will pass through Chief Gu's defense area, and he will have a final negotiation with Chief Gu on the entire plan, he will support the younger brother, with his elite third division to cooperate, the younger brother will not be in any danger, not to mention that the younger brother, as the commander of a division, will not be reduced to carrying a rifle to charge, sister, you can rest assured." ”

Gong Qian sighed faintly: "That is the case, can it not make people worry?" From Guangzhou to the present, our sister and brother have seen each other for no more than a week in the past two years, and I finally met you to stay in Nanjing for a few days, but you are going to the front line again. Although my sister also knows the surname of the soldier and knows that a good man is determined to be in the world, she still feels uncomfortable when she sees you leaving. ”

An Yi looked at Gong Qian's melancholy eyes and was drunk, coughed lightly to gather his mind, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, can you help my little brother release a message in the "Central Daily" published tomorrow? It is said that the younger brother's reading division is about to withdraw to Mingguang for recuperation, and the third division will go to Wuhe to take over the defense, and the two new regiments of the Nanjing battalion will go to Mingguang to replenish. Rest assured, Commander-in-Chief Chiang and the headquarters gave me the right to act as an opportunity, and besides, this is uncertain news and will not cause any adverse effects, and the previous Second Route Army command also had this opinion, but it was overturned in the subsequent meeting. ”

"I see, it's not a problem, you wait......"

Gong Qian stood up and walked to the telephone, quickly got in touch with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, told the editor-in-chief in detail what An Yi meant, and bluntly said that the news had been reviewed by the party department, and the matter would be handled in a few words.

"Thank you, sister! Drink some tea to moisten your throat. An Yi happily refilled the tea for Gong Qian.

Gong Qian smiled and asked An Yi if he was hungry? Seeing An Yi shaking his head, he walked to the bedroom, took out a paper bag and put it on the table: "After work, I passed by the department store and bought you two shirts by the way, every time I see a greasy piece on the collar of your shirt, it makes people sick." ”

An Yi grabbed the bag and smiled: "Where can I take care of so much training all day, by the way, I forgot to tell my sister that there is good news when I see the shirt, our old Nanchang Ramie Textile Factory has produced four qualified fabrics after two months of trial production adjustment, and the robe and shirt made of printed and dyed ramie fine woven fabric are comfortable, breathable, light and bright, and it is estimated that it will be on the market soon, and the affiliated canvas factory is developing the military camouflage cloth printing and dyeing process designed by the younger brother, and it is estimated that the sample will be available in a month. With the strong support of Nanyang technicians, the weaving factory has also successfully debugged the two sets of American equipment and created seven specifications of high-quality ropes, of which four special ropes for fishing boats have been ordered by Quanzhou, Hong Kong and Nanyang, and are in short supply! ”

"Very good start, I just heard the day before yesterday that Mr. Kong Xiangxi held a groundbreaking ceremony for a thermal power plant in Jiaoqiao Town, north of Nanchang City, and the public-private partnership Nanchang Telephone and Telegraph Company held its first board of directors, and the newspapers published a congratulatory telegram from President Jiang, and it seems that Nanchang is developing rapidly."

Gong Qian was very well-informed, she thought about it and asked An Yi: "Do you know the recent measures of General Zhu Peide, who was originally in the Wuhan camp?" ”

"I don't know, the younger brother's contact with Nanchang is basically about the construction of factories and hospitals, and there is the compound of the recruitment office that has been completed, and the construction of the non-commissioned officer school is nearing completion, and the first opening ceremony will be held at the end of the year. As for General Zhu Peide, the younger brother only knows that he takes great care of our old Nanchang industry, and plans to build a fifteen-kilometer asphalt road from Nanchang City to old Nanchang, but he doesn't know anything else. ”

An Yi looked at Gong Qian's eyes, he knew that Gong Qian must have top-secret information to tell him.

Gong Qian nodded and said in a low voice: "General Zhu Peide issued an order last week to cancel all demonstrations and gatherings, and warned the Jiangxi Provincial Federation of Trade Unions and Peasant Associations to exercise restraint and strictly prohibit any kind of movement in Jiangxi. ”

An Yi was stunned: "Ah, this is also changing too fast!" It's just too fast...... General Zhu is a very moderate person, and he has always adopted a cooperative attitude towards [***], but now he has also clarified the party like other provinces, and there must be a big problem. ”

"Yes, his public remarks that if he does not take measures, his army will not become an army, and his political axe will not become a political axe, this statement is very serious, it can be seen that the contradiction between the two sides has reached an extremely acute level, with my sister's understanding of [***], it will definitely fight back, and it is likely to cause a big incident if it develops, just like Hunan, the head is rolling, and the blood is flowing like a river." Gong Qian shook her head and sighed.

An Yi sighed worriedly: "It seems that God has destined no one to escape, I have to work hard to take precautions." ”

"What precautions? Are you worried about those factories in old Nanchang? Gong Qian asked.

An Yi nodded: "Yes!" In addition to textile mills, weaving factories, hardware factories, distilleries, cigarette factories, and grain and oil processing factories, wharves and shipyards under construction on the east bank of the Ganjiang River in the west of Lao Nanchang are also secretly built ordnance repair institutes, schools, workers' residential areas, and military products manufacturing factories. Before, the younger brother only secretly informed Lu Lin and Lihe to suspend the delivery, but no matter how long it was delayed, it couldn't be delayed for too long! ”

Gong Qian's beautiful eyes widened: "Oh my God...... Where did you get all this money? ”

"I came back from the war."

An Yi told the truth: "It's okay to hide from others, the little brother doesn't dare to hide from you, since the Fengxin War, the little brother led the department to do his best to loot the enemy's property every time he fights, and quietly sell the captured batches of weapons of different standards from our army, from Jiangxi to Zhejiang, and then from Zhejiang to Jiangsu, and now Anhui, every time he fights, the little brother can find a huge amount of money, plus the military division headquarters often has a bonus of 35,000 yuan, and President Jiang often has a light and dark reward of 180,000 or even hundreds of thousands, It has accumulated nearly 10 million.

The younger brother used this money to build factories, schools, hospitals and military camps, and only hoped that through the large-scale construction of the old Nanchang, the rapid development of industry and commerce in the Yangtze River basin would be promoted, and the dream of revitalizing the motherland in the younger brother's heart would be realized.

Sister, you also know that the younger brother is not the kind of person who is greedy for enjoyment, but to realize this dream, you have to work hard to make money, and you must also seek a strong enough political position, so that you can escort the realization of this dream, so as not to be calculated and annexed by others. Today, the younger brother said all this, hoping to get his sister's help and support. ”

Gong Qian, who was moved, couldn't help but grab An Yi's hand: "Sister supports you, as long as you need it, sister is willing to do anything for you." ”

"Sister......

An Yi held Gong Qian's hot hand, and forcibly held back the surging passion in his heart and said sincerely: "Sister, since the younger brother has a sister, I no longer feel empty in my heart, I remember when I was in Huangpu, the little brother often felt empty in my heart, and in the dead of night, I often felt a heart-wrenching sense of loneliness in my heart, which was very uncomfortable.

Since I have my sister, this heart-wrenching feeling has slowly disappeared, I have a concern in my heart, I have thoughts, when I am lazy, I think of my sister's advice, when I encounter setbacks, I remember my sister's encouragement, my sister's care and teachings have given me great strength, and I don't want to disappoint my sister in anything, so the younger brother himself also feels that he is improving, and all this is inseparable from his sister.

Sister, you are the closest person in my world, many times I think, Lao Dao is like my father and brother, Dongzi and Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, etc. are all my brothers, only my sister makes me feel mother-like care, sister-like kindness and warmth...... Sister, I don't know how to say how I feel in my heart for a while, I just want to tell my sister that I will definitely make a career to make you proud of me and proud of me! ”

Gong Qian slowly stood up with An Yi, who stood up, clasped An Yi's broad palm and nodded frequently, her eyes were full of moving tears: "Sister believes, I believe that you will succeed!" ”

"Sister......

At the moment before An Yi was about to lose control, he hugged Gong Qian's delicate body, kissed her smooth forehead quickly, let go of his hand and strode across the courtyard and out of the gate, gently covering the gate and sighing to the sky.

Gong Qian in the front hall closed her eyes tightly, her hands covered her violently undulating chest and almost suffocated, and when a long period of vertigo passed, Gong Qian slowly looked at the courtyard, staggered to the steps and stared at the black gate, two crystal tears rolled down her beautiful cheeks......
