Ma Chunhua walked eighty miles in one breath, crossed the line of fire to the liberated area of Nantai, and when she came to a junction, four members of the children's group suddenly jumped out of the grass, holding red tassel guns and stopped her: "Stop, the road!" ”

"Dolls, I don't have any roads, take me to your village militia." Ma Chunhua said with a smile.

"We are not dolls, we are soldiers of the Children's Corps." The children corrected her in a serious way, and took the man of unknown origin to the village militia headquarters with red tassel guns.

There was a man sitting in the team headquarters, who was studying Jiefang Daily, and when he saw Ma Chunhua coming in, his eyes suddenly widened: "Sister Chunhua, I'm not mistaken!" ”

Ma Chunhua said: "Dog, it's me." ”

The dog's eyes were red: "Sister Chunhua, they said you sacrificed, woo woo." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "Han Xiong, how can Sister Nen die so easily." ”

The dog wiped a handful of tears and said: "Sister Chunhua, sit down, I'll pour water for you, what, what are you bear children doing, take the red tassel gun at Sister Tender Chunhua, Sister Chunhua is a hero who knows no, and goes deep behind enemy lines to investigate heroes." ”

The children's group members were speechless, and finally saw the hero, they quickly apologized to Ma Chunhua, Ma Chunhua said: "You are good, the children's group should seriously investigate suspicious people." ”

Without further ado, Goudan immediately arranged a mule cart and personally brought three militiamen to escort Ma Chunhua to the column headquarters, where Commander Wu Changqing and Political Commissar Ye Xuefeng met with Ma Chunhua, listened to her report, and spoke highly of her.

"Thanks to the organization for the rescue, my life was given by the party, and I am resolutely dedicated to the party, and I ask to go to the front line and resolutely fight the Kuomintang reactionaries to the end." Ma Chunhua's bold words moved everyone very much.

Ye Xuefeng said: "Comrade Chunhua, you rest first, and the organization will study and decide where you will go next." ”

After Ma Chunhua left, Ye Xuefeng said: "Our rescue work did not progress so quickly, who saved Ma Chunhua?" ”

Wu Changqing said: "Maybe it's something else, anyway, it's good for Chunhua to come back." ”

Ma Chunhua came to the dormitory to rest, and after sleeping a little, she was just about to go to the cafeteria to eat, when two officials with leather bags came, saying that we are from the Political Department of the Military Region, Ma Chunhua, you should go with us to understand some information.

It turned out that the Political Department wanted to screen Ma Chunhua, whether he defected to the enemy during the arrest, or leaked the intelligence of our army, a bespectacled officer asked a roundabout question, which annoyed Ma Chunhua, she stood up and said loudly: "My father is a 27-year peasant association cadre, was killed by the Kuomintang with a guillotine, my brother joined the Eighth Route Army, sacrificed on the front line of resistance against Japan, our Ma family is a loyal martyr, you still have to doubt me, okay, I will let you open your eyes!" ”

Saying that, making an unbelievable move, Ma Chunhua took off her shirt, and the officers and guards covered their eyes: "What are you doing!" ”

Ma Chunhua said proudly: "Take a closer look, what is on my body!" ”

She was covered with scars that had just healed, and three old scars, which should have been left by the battlefield.

"This is the hole left by the bayonet fight with the little devils, this is the hole in the bullet with the Kuomintang, this is the bomb bomb blown up by the plane, you pat your own conscience, can I betray the revolution!" Although Ma Chunhua is illiterate and uneducated, she also knows that Yue Feiwen Tianxiang is a five heroes of Langya Mountain, and it is a false accusation that I betrayed the revolution! I am not satisfied, and I am not afraid of the lawsuit going to Yan'an and the Party Central Committee of Chairman Mao. ”

Ma Chunhua scolded, and the officers of the Political Department hurriedly apologized, saying that this was an organizational procedure, a routine, not a suspicion of her, on the other hand, reporting to the superiors, Ye Xuefeng was furious when he heard about it: "A heroic female warrior like Ma Chunhua should be vigorously promoted, how can it be censored?" Nonsense, just nonsense! ”

The Political Department quickly made corrections, ended the review of Ma Chunhua, and gave unyielding and loyal and reliable comments, and in order to praise Ma Chunhua and establish a heroic image, she was promoted to a deputy battalion cadre.

The Propaganda Department of the Military Region also created some allegro books and ballads based on her deeds, and for a time the stories of heroines were sung everywhere.

……

Nantai, on the dirt road of Kushuijing Township, two dogs, a male and a female, are breeding, a group of dirty children are watching, and there is a second-rate son in his twenties squatting on the dirt slope, with tattered clothes and long hair, and he said with a smile: "Mao Ni, is your father and mother fighting like dogs in the dark?" ”

The country children were sensible early, and knew that it was not a good word, so they picked up the soil and smashed this second-rate son, he was not to be outdone, picked up a branch and hit it, and the children scattered in a hurry.

"Li Huazi, why don't you starve to death as a wild seed." A woman ran over and pulled her child away, turned her head and scolded.

"Sister-in-law, don't go, accompany my brother Lalagua." Li Huazi was not angry at all, and she was still smiling. humming the song and leaving, "I was originally the son-in-law of the Jade Emperor......"

A horse-drawn carriage passed by on the dirt road, kicking up puffs of smoke and dust, and there was a red flag on the carriage that read "Land Reform Work Team", and there were seven or eight people sitting on the carriage, holding rifles and luggage, looking like dust and dust.

Li Huazi doesn't know how to read, but he also knows the general trend of the world, the Kuomintang is going to be finished, and he wants to sit in the world, rob the rich and help the poor, make peasant associations everywhere, and divide the fields, which is a good time to fish in troubled waters.

It was a team led by Yang Shugen, who took root in the bitter well, mobilized the masses to fight against the landlords, and sent the village chief to beat the gong to gather the villagers for a meeting.

The effect of the struggle meeting was very bad, the landlords on the stage and the poor middle peasants under the stage were acquaintances who looked up and did not look down, and some of them were still relatives, and no one could pull down their faces to fight people, and besides, the real bully landlords had long since run away, and those who remained were honest and honest small landlords.

Yang Shugen was very anxious, how to divide the land, how to mobilize the masses to support the front line, and when he was impatient, a man suddenly jumped up from under the stage, holding half a brick, and at once opened the head of a landlord standing in the front.

The landlord was bleeding from his head and fell to the ground groaning.

"Don't play dead, get up for Lao Tzu! In the tenth winter of the year before last, I wanted food to be delivered to your door, but not only did you not give me half a piece of bread, but also let the dog bite me, where did your majesty go? The man shouted majestically.

Yang Shugen turned his head and asked the village chief, "Who is this person?" ”

"This person's name is Li Huazi, his mother married Li Juren, a big family in the county, as his aunt's wife in her early years, and stole a man to give birth to him, Li Juren kicked his leg and died, leaving him a lot of family business, and he was exhausted in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling in a year and a half, and he begged for food everywhere when he called Huazi, so everyone called him Li Huazi." The village chief obviously didn't like Li Huazi very much.

Yang Shugen said happily: "The revolution needs such lumpenproletarians. ”

Li Huazi smashed his luck with a brick, and from this time on, he served as the director of the peasant association in the village, and several second-rate people who had close contacts with him on weekdays became militiamen, and the widow of the broken shoe king at the entrance of the village became the women's director.

The vigorous land reform movement began, the militia stood at the entrance of the village to prevent the landlords from escaping, the peasant union activists stationed in the landlord's house to dig up floating wealth, all valuable things were swept away, clothes, quilts, cotton shoes, satin, cloth, porcelain, tinware, lying boxes, cabinets, wood, gold and silver jewelry, chatterboxes, horses, cows, mules, donkeys, such large animals were uniformly distributed to each household, after the pigs and sheep were divided, the rest were killed and eaten meat, and a large pot was set up at the entrance of the village to cook meat overnight, and the whole village ate with a mouth full of oil.

The fertile land of the landlords and rich peasants was collected by the peasant associations and distributed according to the standards of irrigated land, dry land, and saline-alkali land.

All villages in Kushuijing Township are carrying out land reform, and Li Huazi's Lijiazhuang has almost been carried out, but Li Huazi is still unsatisfied, so he led a group of people from the peasant association to come to the neighboring Liangjiazhuang to help the local peasant association dig up floating wealth, and the cadres of the peasant association in Liangjiazhuang were not happy, saying that we had finished digging and did not need your "help".

Li Huazi said that the landlord was cunning, and he must have hidden the floating wealth, he immediately showed his hand, when the women's director Wang Widow took a few women from the literacy class to the landlord's house to dig up the floating wealth, and stayed in the peasant association to drink tea, less than a stick of incense, the Wang widow rushed to the scene and put two gold rings on the table.

The director of the local peasant association took the gold ring in his mouth and bit it, and sure enough, it was real gold, his eyes lit up, and he was convinced: "Director Li, you are still smart, where did you find this gold?" ”

Li Huazi said triumphantly: "According to the experience of our peasant association, the landlord's wife's horseback belt is an important place to hide floating wealth. ”

The director of the local peasant association hurriedly shouted: "Buried dead." ”

There is a landlord's wife named Liang Qiaoshi in Liangjiazhuang, her man is a Kuomintang officer, and it is said that there is a gun in the house, but it has not been found. ”

But before the work was carried out, it was stopped by the task force, and the specific reason is not clear, it is estimated that Liang Maocai, the man who wanted to win over Liang Qiao's family.

Digging up floating wealth and dividing up the land, some landlords who were extremely angry were tried in public and executed, which was very happy.

The recruitment work began, and the work team encouraged the young students in the village to join the People's Liberation Army, and the poor peasants had just been divided into cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and a few acres of fertile land, so they were willing to go to the army, so Yang Shugen went from house to house to do the work, telling them that this was to defend the fruits of victory, and that everyone should not be soldiers, and when the Kuomintang came back, the land they had been divided would be recovered, and they would have to take a guillotine.

Li Huazi as the director of the peasant association, the first to sign up for the army, under his inspiration, Li Jiazhuang has more than 80 descendants are soldiers, wearing red and hanging colors in the carriage left, not two days later, Li Huazi returned to the village, it turned out to be brushed down, but the specific reason he did not say.

Yang Shugen knows the reason, Li Huazi has trachoma, rotten sores, and willow disease, and the army does not accept such soldiers. He didn't dislike Li Huazi, but felt that such a person was available, and he didn't change this opinion until one day.

That day, the poplar roots passed by the ground, and saw the little wife of the landlord Li Laocai coming out of the cornfield while tying her trouser belt, and her head and body were covered with withered grass leaves.

Yang Shugen walked into the cornfield and saw Li Huazi holding her pants contentedly.
