Although the highway from Yulin to Yan'an has been built, every time he comes to Yan'an, he can feel that this border city in northern Shaanxi is changing rapidly. The most direct is that the sparsely populated Yan'an City has more people.

In addition, the number of caves in and outside the city of Yan'an has increased significantly. Perhaps for the sake of air defense, Yan'an rarely saw brick and stone houses. Only near the shopping street can you see many houses made of bricks.

This kind of rapid change makes everyone who comes to Yan'an for the first time feel a little incredible. Today's Yan'an has become the central station, as well as the gathering place of Yan'an culture and education.

Along with the increase in the number of patriotic young people from all over the country and from overseas, there are also many people who have moved from North China and other places. Today's Yan'an City looks a bit like a city, even if it is a city full of caves.

He Zhengdao, who rested for a night in the military recruitment office, had a rare sense of leisure the next morning, changed into civilian clothes and took Song Yuping and others to walk around the street. Even if you don't buy anything, it's good to go shopping occasionally.

Looking at the streets in the morning, there are also a lot of pedestrians, and there are small merchants and hawkers on both sides of the street, He Zhengdao also feels that this is also a major feature of every city. As long as there is a market, there are shrewd businessmen.

'Captain, I really can't believe that in less than two years, there are so many more houses on this street. And look at the stalls on this street, there are many more than before! Most importantly, there are more young people on the streets. ’

Facing Song Yuping's exclamation, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "This is just the beginning, in the future, more and more young people will come here to seek the truth of saving the country." And we will also go from here, to the whole country, to the world. ”

Think about the name of the city in later generations, Yan'an, the red holy land. He Zhengdao also thinks. Either way, even if his arrival is changing something. But for the definition of the city, I believe that there will not be much change.

Even if many people know that Xi'an, where the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is located, the conditions are better than here. However, taking into account the superiority of air defense, the central government finally decided not to relocate, and still chose Yan'an to be the location of various central organs.

Don't look at these caves as simple and leaky. But for many people who have lived in caves, this kind of house is actually very suitable for people. Not to mention that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, as long as the structure is stronger, there is no need to worry too much if there is really an air attack.

In these years, although the power of the little devil's aerial bomb is not small, it must not be easy to penetrate the cave built by the mountain. When digging new caves, the importance of air defense is fully considered.

Just when Li Shengxian was strolling around with Song Yuping and others, a group of people who were dressed plainly but still attracted everyone's attention appeared. He Zhengdao also felt a little surprised. But after thinking about it, he felt that this seemed normal again.

Just looking at Song Yuping's gaze, He Zhengdao said helplessly: "Three guys, look at your little bit of interest, your eyes can't be dialed, right?" I suddenly felt the need to add a little bit of training to you.

As you are now, if you really want to get your news in the future, I believe that I will find some girls to come to you. You guess you've recruited everything. However, you are not young. It's time to marry a daughter-in-law! ”

Some words made Song Yuping and others very embarrassed: "Captain, we were wrong!" As a special combat member, you can't be distracted at any time. We were all a little distracted before, and we asked for punishment. ”

'That's it! According to the existing regulations of our army, you want to marry a daughter-in-law. You'll have to work a little harder! Judging by what these girls are wearing, they should be students at a girls' school. If you want to marry them, you probably don't have enough ink.

If you go back to Kang Da and re-enroll, I will apply for a few places for you, so that you can also go to Kang Da as a return student. After coming out. Anyway, I have a diploma. As a special combat member, it is not enough to be able to fight, culture is also important. ’

For the special combat members around him who are actually older or about the same age than himself, He Zhengdao can also understand their desire for the opposite sex. Later generations often say, 'Be a soldier for three years, sow race sable cicada'!

As far as He Zhengdao knows, in order to speed up the selection and training of political workers and government personnel, and also to speed up the emancipation of the people's minds. In addition to Kang Da, Yan'an also founded several universities, including the Women's University.

Many young girls full of dreams have also gathered here to study. In these universities, there are also many well-known cultural people in China, as well as some teachers and professors from universities in the Republic of China.

Most of these people, with the full-scale invasion of China by the Japanese army, have lost their jobs as teachers. After being called and hired by the Eighth Route Army, he successively served as a teacher at these universities and continued to teach for young Chinese people here.

In addition to the young people in the base areas, there are also many young people who have come from all over the country. These young people, after undergoing ideological education and study in these universities, were also successively attracted to the Eighth Route Army and the border district government.

As a matter of fact, after the Central Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Mao Taizu said that the planned training of a large number of new cadres was a combat task facing the whole party. Running a school is the best way to train all kinds of talents and cadres.

It is precisely because of this consideration that at present, the central government has set aside 20 percent of the total financial revenue to run schools, and has successively established many schools of various types, such as the Central Party School, the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, the Women's University, the Medical University, Yan'an University, the Northern Shaanxi Public School, the Lu Xun Academy of Arts, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the College of Nationalities.

Even if the teaching conditions here are not as good as those of the top universities in the Republic of China. However, for many young people studying here, they cherish this learning opportunity and seize every opportunity to learn knowledge and advanced ideas.

Perhaps the increase in young students has made this originally desolate city much more vibrant. At least for Ho Zhengdao, he likes this kind of vibrant city. Because, this also represents the hope of a new life!

After walking around and returning to the military recruitment office, as soon as he walked into the military recruitment office, he saw Mao Taizu's guards, and said with a little joy: "Division Commander He, you went out so early?" I'm thinking, I'll go out and find you later! The Chairman asked me to invite you over! ”

Didn't you say lunch? Why so early? ’

Hearing the guard's words, He Zhengdao was somewhat surprised. But looking at the guard, he didn't seem to know the reason, and without thinking too much, he carried the things he had bought in the market before and followed the guard to Mao Taizu's residence.

It's just that when he approached Mao Taizu's cave, he heard the voice of a stranger inside, and even what made He Zhengdao obviously a little curious was that it was still a woman's voice. This made He Zhengdao even more curious!

When He Zhengdao stepped into the courtyard, looking at the girl who was sitting in the courtyard and chatting with Mao Taizu and others, he seemed to have guessed what was going on. This made He Zhengdao have the urge to quickly wipe his feet and run away.

At this moment, looking at He Zhengdao who came in, Mao Taizu, who was sitting, also smiled and said, "Why did you come here now?" ”

'Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, Vice Chairman Zhou, and Mr. Peng, just went to the street for a while. I haven't been here for a while, and I want to see what the city has to offer. As a result, it took a long time to shop, but isn't it time to eat yet? ’

'Who said that you were called early just to eat?' Sit down! People have been waiting for you for a long time! ’

Mao Taizu, who complained with a smile, looked at the girl sitting with them with a smile on his face. This kind of action, no matter how stupid He Zhengdao is, he knows that this girl must be what Mao Taizu wanted to introduce to him!

'Blind date! Pit! ’

He Zhengdao, who was a little broken in his heart, could only pretend to be puzzled on his face. As a person who traveled through the later generations, He Zhengdao also had many confidants in later generations. But until the moment of sacrifice, he was still choosing a marriage partner!

But in this era, facing a matchmaker like Mao Taizu. Even if he is reluctant, he must show enough respect. What's more, the girl who got up in front of her, regardless of her figure and temperament, is indeed a little outstanding!

'Hello, Master He! I am Chen Siya, a reporter from the China News Agency, and on behalf of the news agency, I would like to interview Master He. ’

He Zhengdao, who heard this, also smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Reporter Chen, hello! Interview me, what do I have to interview? ”

'Why not?' You kid probably don't listen to the central radio very much, right? Nowadays, many young people in our base area worship you as a hero! If you go to the women's university, you will probably be torn alive by those girls. ’

Mr. Peng, who was sitting next to him, interjected and teased. And these words made Chen Siya couldn't help but smile. In fact, when she came to Mao Taizu, Chen Siya already knew what Mao Taizu's intentions were.

For her, after Chen Siya came to Yan'an, she heard a lot of things about He Zhengdao. She is also full of curiosity about this young red warrior who rose to fame in the Long March.

It's just that for this kind of blind date meeting, Chen Siya is still somewhat resistant. After all, she is a young girl who has embraced new ideas, and when it comes to falling in love, she still wants to be free to fall in love.

Fortunately, Mrs. Mao, who revealed the situation to her, also said with understanding: "Siya, the chairman and I both think that you are a rare good girl in the base area. The age is about the same as the righteous path, so I thought I wanted you to get in touch with it first.

If you really come, then we will be happy to see it. If you're not satisfied, we won't force it. To be honest, that kid seems to have the same choice as you when it comes to emotional matters. Let's try it first! ”

It was in the midst of curiosity and difficulty in refusing the invitation that Chen Siya came to Mao Taizu's residence early in the morning in the name of a reporter from the news agency. Seeing so many leaders here, I was surprised in my heart, but I understood that He Zhengdao was very valued by these leaders.

When I saw He Zhengdao for the first time, the tough face and the tall figure made Chen Siya feel it too. The red warrior in front of her, who is very popular with the outside world, seems to be much more handsome than she imagined! (To be continued.) )
