Since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the word revolution has never left. From the initial caution, it is now well known. Around the revival of the revolution, countless young people with lofty ideals have embarked on the road of pursuing the success of the revolution.

After the Xinhai Revolution, a large number of students returned to China one after another, and most of them were full of vigor and brought back the knowledge and ideas they had grown abroad. In addition to vigorously propagating science, he also began to spread all kinds of revolutionary ideas.

The 'Three People's Principles' led by Sun Yat-sen and the workers' and peasants' revolution founded by Marxist-Leninist thought also appeared one after another. Different ideologies and political ideas also began to represent different stages of struggle with each other.

In the chaotic political situation, many young people who were influenced by revolutionary ideas resolutely bid farewell to their families and embarked on the road of revolution. Many of these young people have given their lives in the pursuit of revolutionary revival.

Revolution, revolution whose life! It's a lot of the people's understanding of the word. After the establishment of the Republic of China, the Northern Expedition campaign carried out by the Nationalist Government with the Beiyang Government was carried out, and then the political game between the Kuomintang and the CCP was followed.

No matter what kind of revolution it is, it will inevitably have a hint of blood. Many young people embark on the road of revolution, sometimes and then they never return. For these young people who left their families to embark on the revolutionary road, home has always been their concern.

It's just that the current situation is undecided, and the Kuomintang has carried out a white terrorist attack on the CCP. Many revolutionaries, who are far away from their families, have no choice but to hide this longing and look forward to the moment when the revolution will succeed.

Now that the two parties are cooperating again because of the anti-Japanese resistance, the Chinese Communist Party has also asked the Kuomintang to recognize the status of the Chinese Communist Party as a legitimate political party before cooperating. Under these circumstances, the advance team that returned to Dabie Mountain dared to go home to visit.

Looking at Yang Xi, who was kneeling in the courtyard and snorting, even Father Yang, who was always concerned about this eldest son in his heart, was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show too much joy. As a father, he knows very well what his son is doing, which is a big thing to kill.

But as a mother, Mother Yang has always been concerned about this son who embarked on the road of revolution at an early age. Even when their family was persecuted, Yang's father said that he did not have this son, and when this son died.

But everyone knows that this is to keep their family safe. In fact, whether this son is dead or not, neither of them knows. After all, even if Yang Xi sometimes wants to write a letter back, he is also worried about causing harm to his family.

Yang Xi, who has been away for six years, returned home for the first time today. Six years is not a long time, but it is not a short time. It's no wonder that the younger sister, who was still a little girl when she was in front of the yard before, couldn't recognize this big brother anymore.

When he left home, Yang Xi, who was still a hot-blooded young man, is now an old Red Army soldier. He is also an excellent company commander in the reconnaissance brigade today. If other troops are delegated, there must be no problem as a battalion commander.

looked at his son, who was also in tears, and the father, who was a man, still had an indifferent expression and let his son snort in front of him. It's just that the tears flashing in his eyes are enough to show that this father, who is not good at words, is not in a calm mood at the moment.

In contrast, Mother Yang, who was a mother, rushed over directly, hugged her son who was kneeling on the ground and said with tears in her eyes: "Son! You're finally back! Why haven't you even sent a letter home all these years? Mother still thinks what's wrong with you! ”

Since the Red Fourth Front Army began to fight in Sichuan and Shaanxi, Yang Xi, who was just an ordinary soldier of the Red Fourth Front Army, was just an insignificant soldier among the many Red Army soldiers who left home from Hubei and embarked on the revolutionary road.

In such a situation, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 in the entire Dabie Mountain area!

Every time they hear some news from someone, the Yang family will worry about whether their son will live or die. Every time they hear about the Red Army, people with children in the Red Army worry about the life and death of their children.

The advance team members who came with Yang Xi also felt that their eyes were a little red. Most of the soldiers who are qualified to be selected and transferred to the advance team this time are relatively old soldiers in the Eighth Route Army.

It can be said that these fighters are in ordinary units, and they are all in the position of squad and platoon leaders. These team members were specially selected to come over, hoping to expand the scale of the advance team in a short period of time. These people can also serve as the grassroots commanders and backbone of the troops.

Knowing that this was not the right time to disturb, one of the team members made an exit gesture and prepared to leave. As a result, Father Yang suddenly said, "Comrade, why did you leave?" Come in and sit down! The humble house is simple, but I'm afraid that the hospitality will not be good! ”

Yang's father's words woke up the mother and son who were hugging and crying. Yang Xi, who got up, also hurriedly said, "Xiao Zhu, it's okay!" Let's eat at my house later! Father and mother, this is my comrade-in-arms in the army. ”

As he spoke, he introduced his family, even though Father Yang still complained about his son in his heart, he didn't want to embarrass his son in front of his son's comrades. What's more, Father Yang also knows that his son is in the army, and it is these comrades-in-arms that he can rely on!

After beckoning all the comrades-in-arms to sit down, he looked at his younger brother, who was still a hairy boy when he left home, and now he has grown into a good guy. Yang Xi also said sincerely: "Second baby, when my brother is not at home, you have worked hard to take care of your father!" ”

'Brother, nothing! It's just that my father and mother have been worried about your affairs outside, and we don't have any hard work at home. ’

Yang Xi, who watched his parents start to eat and purchased a lot of things before going home, handed over the things that his comrades-in-arms helped to carry to his mother. There are also a lot of cooked food, which also makes the originally shabby Yang family finally have something to entertain guests.

Yang Xi, who knew that his family was not well-off, quickly took out a money bag from his body, handed it over in the eyes of his parents, and said: "Father, mother, this is the military salary that my son received after he was promoted, and I will take it out all when I come back this time."

You take this money for your family, and although your son is not at home in the future, he should stay here for a short time. I'll come back to see you often when I have time. You still don't tell anyone much about your son in the future.

This time, when my son went home, it was also a leave specially granted by the head of the unit. In short, my son is doing well in the army, and you don't have to worry. After beating the little devil, if your son has the conditions, I will take you to live by my side.

And when I came back this time, I saw the situation of the second brother and the younger sister. I think if you want to, I want to send them to Shaanxi to go to school. The second brother is a little older, but he should be able to go to night school and work in a factory.

My little sister is still young, so I asked someone to send her to school when I arrived. Although my current military salary is not much, it should be enough for the two of them to live in Shaanxi. If you want to go, I can find a way. ”

When I came back, I learned that my younger brother, who was already eighteen years old, dropped out of school very early to work in the family farm, and the younger sister had never gone to school at all. Yang Xi, who is now promoted to company commander, knows very well that he can be promoted smoothly because he went to private school for several years before joining the revolution.

The importance of culture made him feel that he should give his younger siblings a better future. As an excellent company commander of the reconnaissance brigade, Yang Xi felt that sending his younger siblings to Yulin believed that the people in the army would also give his younger siblings a chance to learn.

After all, it is really not easy for ordinary peasant children to have the opportunity to go to school and study these days!

Hearing this, Mother Yang looked at the dozens of oceans in the money bag. He was surprised and said, "Son! Are you paid now? ”

The Eighth Route Army does not pay salaries, which is something that many people know. Even if the situation of the Eighth Route Army has improved now, most of the time the soldiers only pay some living expenses. Officers, on the other hand, have a certain amount of job posting.

Facing the confused expressions of his parents, Yang Xicai smiled and said: "Dad, mother, I was mentioned in August last year, when my son was fighting, he killed a little devil Dazuo and many little devils, and finally the head of the army promoted him."

In the current army, I am a company commander. According to the regulations, you can receive two oceans of job posters every month. In addition to the subsidy, there is also a certain amount of living allowance every month. The extra money is a reward given to me by the army.

In short, my son is doing well in the army now, and the head of the army is also very important to me. This time, I came back with my comrades-in-arms, and I was also on a mission. In addition, my son will not leave here for a short time this time.

Although my station is not in town, it is not too far from our home. We were ordered to come back this time, and we were also going to fight the little devils. Soon, there is a possibility that the little devils will attack our county, and we will come back to fight. ”

Hearing this, Father Yang was shocked and said, "The little devil is really coming?" ”

Well, they want to take Wuhan City, and they want to come to us here and where they pass by. However, Dad doesn't have to worry, our commander will come over this time. In the defense of Wuhan this time, our Eighth Route Army will also send troops to participate. ’

'Then the white dog is not bothering you?' ’

Thinking of the life-and-death struggle between the Red Army and the Central Army a few years ago, Yang's mother, who was a mother, was still very worried and asked. At least Mother Yang knows that it is not the Eighth Route Army that is now in charge of the house in Hubei, but the Central Army that once harmed their family.

Regarding the worry expressed by her mother, Yang Xi also smiled and comforted: "Mother, now is the period of the Joint War of Resistance, and they don't dare to ask us for trouble casually." What's more, our current strength is not much weaker than theirs.

In short, when my son came back this time, he really came to defend his family and country. It's just that because my son is the captain, I'm afraid that I can't go home often, and I have to lead troops to fight many times. However, I'll come back to see you later when I have time. ”

As the captain of a detachment of the Hong'an guerrilla detachment, Yang Xi also has a task. As a team leader, he naturally can't go home often. In addition, he is also worried about the risk of going home often and possibly bringing unknown to his parents.

It was this kind of worry that made Yang Xi also think about sending his parents and younger siblings to Yulin. At least in Yang Xi's opinion, it is the rear of the Eighth Route Army, and it should still be safe.

As a company-level cadre of the Eighth Route Army, his family members are also eligible to relocate to a military resettlement village if he applies for it. But when the family moves to Yulin, they still need to be thoughtful. After all, it's not that close! (To be continued.) )
