For these reporters from the news agency who came to Yulin for the first time, they had heard a lot about He Zhengdao's deeds. Even among the people who came this time, many people had seen He Zhengdao in Yan'an and knew that he was the youngest main division commander of the Eighth Route Army.

But more importantly, it is the 'social flower' Chen Siya of the news agency, who is the target of this young teacher. Although there are many male reporters of news agencies who are somewhat envious, jealous and hateful, they know that they are not as good as He Zhengdao.

Naturally, this visit to Yulin also needs to obtain permission and consent from the central government. But when choosing reporters to interview, Chen Siya was also the president and the central leadership. The intention is obvious to everyone.

Although the two have not yet held a wedding or anything, many people know that it is a matter of time before the two get married. After all, the matchmaker of the two is Mao Taizu's wife, as well as the wives of those central leaders!

On this point, how many people can be found in the entire Eighth Route Army now?

Not to mention anything else, even at this moment, Chen Siya is also the object of envy in the eyes of many young and beautiful girls in Yan'an. Compared with other divisional leaders, He Zhengdao is undoubtedly a good match for those marriageable girls.

It's a pity that none of them have the luck of Chen Siya. Even if this kind of marriage is a bit of a good match. But He Zhengdao and Chen Siya both know that the words of the media are still very important in these years.

Although the welcome banquet was simple, it allowed the people in the interview group to see the sincerity of the Yulin Military Sub-district and also saw He Zhengdao's welcome to them. Even if some of the interview requests were not granted, the crowd did not feel that there was anything wrong.

After all, the interview requests that He Zhengdao refused were also justified. It can even be said that the effort of a meal has also made these reporters gain a lot. Understand that as journalists, they sometimes need to pay attention to the principles of reporting.

If you really inadvertently take photos that shouldn't be taken in the future, and write reports that shouldn't be written. If they are held accountable, the crime of leaking military secrets will still make them feel very wronged and guilty.

On the other hand, He Zhengdao, who finished eating, ignored Xiao Jinguang's jokes, and said with a smile: "Political commissar, take a leave of absence at night, and I will accompany Siya to the city." I have something to deal with tomorrow, and I guess I won't have time to accompany her around Yulin City. ”

'Yes, it should be! If you're just traveling, you still have to be a little more careful. ’

'Don't worry, the fourth detachment will go out with me later.' Speaking of which, I haven't been to the Yulin Night Market for a long time, so I'll go out for a walk tonight. If you are not in a hurry to rest, you can also go out for a stroll. ’

'Good! I've always heard that the Yulin Night Market is as lively as Yan'an, but we really haven't seen it. It's rare to come to Yulin once, and we'll go out for a walk tonight. Since I want to interview, I still need to know more about the customs and customs of Yulin. ’

After chatting with everyone, He Zhengdao took the somewhat shy Chen Siya back to his office. He asked, "Did you bring casual clothes with you this time?" ”

'Nope! Straight out in a military uniform, can't you? ’

It's not that it can't be, it's just too dazzling. Although there are some female soldiers on Yulin's side. But there really isn't anything as beautiful as you. Wait until you go out into the street, I'm afraid that people will only look at you.

So, you wait a minute, I'll ask the guards to buy you two women's clothes, and I'll change into civilian clothes and go out together. On the Yulin side, in addition to the officers of the organs, most of the officers and men of the army are required to wear civilian clothes when they go out.

Most of the people wearing military uniforms on the streets are patrol guards. This is also to make it easier for the people to know that when something happens, they should find the patrol members as soon as possible. Of course, this is also to avoid disturbing the people too much. ’

As a matter of fact, even if there is a reconnaissance brigade stationed in Yulin City, officers and men are forbidden to go out at night. As for the garrison troops, except for the patrol officers and men, the rest of the officers and men are also forbidden to go out, except in special circumstances.

Only by reducing the opportunities for officers and men of the unit to go out can it be possible to put an end to the situation in which officers and men are bribed by the enemy to rebel. In peacetime, most of the officers and men will be required to wear civilian clothes to go out if there are any leave arrangements for the troops.

Although the Eighth Route Army is now very loved in the hearts of the people of Yulin, He Zhengdao still implements such military regulations. In this respect, the policy pursued by the independent column and other units was somewhat different.

At least on the streets of Yan'an, it is common to see officers and soldiers shopping in military uniforms. After all, in the control area of the Eighth Route Army, military uniforms are also clothing that many people have that look more decent and good-looking.

After getting the guards and asking them to go shopping in the city, two women's clothes came over. Chen Siya looked at it and thought it was not bad. Although he was a little shy, he didn't shy away from anything, and changed his clothes directly in He Zhengdao's office.

And although He Zhengdao wanted to see it very much, he still came out very gentlemanly, and waited until Chen Siya changed her clothes before re-entering the room, changing into a set of relatively ordinary clothes, and then taking Chen Siya out of the door of the headquarters.

Even as a commander, He Zhengdao is qualified to drive when he goes out. But He Zhengdao still chose to walk, took Chen Siya's slender hand, and walked towards the Yulin Night Market, which was a little distance from the column headquarters.

In order to ensure the safety of the vicinity of the night market, it is also fixed until 10 o'clock in the evening. But for He Zhengdao, who had just gone out after dinner, this time was the most lively time in the night market.

Looking at the electric lights on the street, Chen Siya was also surprised: "Is there electricity at night?" ”

Well, there is a thermal power plant in Yulin, which can supply electricity to some of the core areas of the city for the time being. It's just that if you want the people in the city to have electricity, it is estimated that you will have to wait for a while.

Now for the people of Yulin, because of the electric light, they are willing to go out for a walk after dinner at night. However, the electric lights on both sides of these streets will be turned off as much as possible when the night market is playing.

Although it cost a lot of money to build these electric lights, they gave the people of the city a place to go at night. Most importantly, some people who are busy with work during the day can also come out at night to buy something, or it is convenient to go out for a walk. ’

Compared with the night market in Yan'an City at this moment, which is still lit with oil lamps at night, Yulin City is undoubtedly in front of the headquarters. However, there are also many factories in Yulin City, and they also need a lot of electricity every day.

After taking over Yulin, He Zhengdao still spent a lot of money to upgrade the thermal power plant that was originally opened. The expanded thermal power plant can now also supply the area where the wires are currently pulled.

At least in the eyes of many traders, today's Yulin has a bit of a 'small Jiangnan' flavor. In the whole of Shaanxi, it may not be possible to find a city like Yulin, where even the streets are equipped with electric lights.

But He Zhengdao is also aware that a hydroelectric power plant is currently under construction in Yan'an. Soon, the government offices in Yan'an City, as well as the commercial streets in Yulin, will be powered by electricity, getting rid of their dependence on oil lamps.

Although the current power supply is not as stable as in later generations. But for many people, it is also a good enjoyment to come out to see the electric lights on both sides of the street, and they also feel the convenience brought by electricity.

Looking at the remnants of gunpowder smoke on the street, Chen Siya, who was holding He Zhengdao's arm, also said with some curiosity: "Are these new houses built after the bombing?" ”

'Yes! On this side of the commercial street, a lot of them were blown up by the Japanese in the previous Japanese bombing. You should know that some houses are the lifeblood of merchants and people.

It's just that most of the houses on this street used to be wooden houses. Later, when it was time to rebuild, I directly asked the engineering unit to build them a brick house. Such a house is not easy to burn even if it is bombed.

Although the new house and the old house look a little different. It's just that in the later stage, these old houses will be demolished and all built into such two-story brick houses. However, we still restored the blown up walls as they were.

Compared with these dwellings, these city walls have a history of hundreds of years, which is also the history of our country and belongs to the history of Yulin. If they can be preserved, I hope that these ancient walls will be preserved in the future. ’

As an important border town, countless dynasties have built corresponding city defenses for this ancient city from ancient times to the present. And He Zhengdao also hopes to preserve this historical heritage. After all, these things belong to the history of China.

Even according to He Zhengdao's proposal, some antiques and other items have begun to be collected in the central material warehouse. In Ho Zhengdao's words, these things may not be worth much now, but they will be worth a lot in the future.

The truth of gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times is clear to many leaders of the central government. Many of the seemingly worthless antique calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain seized in the battle were ordered by the central authorities to be handed over to the divisions for proper safekeeping, and then handed over to the headquarters.

And these walls, although they look worthless. But for He Zhengdao, who came from later generations, this is also a historical existence that belongs to Yulin. If it can be preserved, He Zhengdao will not let it be destroyed.

What's more, judging from the current situation, apart from the high-altitude bombing, it is unlikely that the Japanese army will want to attack Yulin. This also means that most of these monuments that were damaged by the war may be preserved.

This concept may not be well understood by people in this era. But He Zhengdao, who came from later generations, also knew that these were all historical wealth that belonged to China. In the future, these ancient city walls may bring more wealth to the people here.

Following He Zhengdao to walk in the lively Yulin Commercial Street, Chen Siya also felt that the relationship between the two was not estranged because of time and distance. On the contrary, when she came to Yulin this time, Chen Siya could feel He Zhengdao's closeness to her.

The sublimation of this kind of emotion made Chen Siya also feel very happy. Even if she understands that the current situation of the two may only be a wedding banquet. But in the war years, many things were simple.

But Chen Siya still hopes that the man around her who has entered her heart will also sincerely accept her existence. In her opinion, such a marriage may seem more real and happier! (To be continued.) )
