Qiao Tianchao and Wang Xiaofeng met again in Jinan.

Xu Yinchu landed in Tianjin by plane from Shenyang with the men and horses of the Northeast Station, and Tianjin and Beiping were still in the hands of the Kuomintang at this time. Coming to Tianjin from the war-torn Northeast can be regarded as giving them a chance to breathe. At that time, many prominent Kuomintang people who withdrew from the northeast went directly to Nanjing, while most of them still went to Tianjin.

During that time, the camp of the Kuomintang in Tianjin became a shelter, and many soldiers and lower-level commanders fled by ship from the northeast to the port of Tianjin.

As soon as Xu Yin arrived in Tianjin, he got in touch with the Military Command Bureau, and his superiors ordered them to stand by in Tianjin. During the days on standby, Xu Yinchu and his subordinates were depressed, and during this period, the military commanders of Tianjin Station also came to visit them. After the people left, Xu Yin scolded angrily: What's the big deal, when the communist army in the northeast comes over, you are not the same as us. Hum!

The days of standby were difficult, so Xu Yinchu took Qiao Tianchao to the Tianjin Station of the Military Command Bureau and the General Administration again and again to contact them about the placement of these people. The current Northeast Station no longer exists, and the radio station has also remained in the Northeast, and they can only receive and send telegrams through the radio station of Tianjin Station. Xu Yinchu really tasted the taste of the phoenix that fell on the shelf and was not as good as a chicken.

After coming to Tianjin, Qiao Tianchao had been worried about Wang Xiaofeng's whereabouts, and the day after arriving in Tianjin, he learned that the family members of the Northeast Station had been temporarily resettled in Nanjing. His hanging heart relaxed for a moment. During these days, Wang Xiaofeng was the most worried, after all, she had not yet adapted to this underground life, and he was worried that she would have some accidents. As the days passed, and no bad news came, his troubled heart gradually settled down.

The days of standby in Tianjin were finally over, and the superiors came with an order to let the original team of their Northeast Station reorganize Jinan Station. An accident occurred at the original Jinan Station a month ago - the underground party hiding in Jinan Station was captured by the enemy, so the stationmaster of the major general and all those who had anything to do with the incident were removed from their posts and investigated. The entire Jinan station was paralyzed for a while. It was also at this moment that the Northeast Station led by Xu Yinchu was ordered to be in danger.

Soon after Xu Yinchu arrived in Jinan, he ordered someone to take the family members stranded in Nanjing to Jinan. He didn't forget Ma Tiancheng and Shangpin's wife, and also took them over. He promised Monk Ma Tiancheng to take care of their family, and at this time, Monk Ma Tiancheng was alive or dead in the Northeast, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead, and he had to keep his promise. He knew that so many pairs of eyes were looking at him, and he was going to show these people, and he was affectionate and righteous.

Qiao Tianchao and Wang Xiaofeng met under this circumstance.

After not seeing her for more than a month, Wang Xiaofeng seems to have lost weight and seems to be more mature. These days, she really understands what it means to be tormented. When she was with Qiao Tianchao, she could complain and express her dissatisfaction, because it was her comrade-in-arms; But when she arrived in Nanjing, there were enemies on all sides, and she didn't even have a person to communicate with, which made her miss the organization more and more, and miss the days with her comrades. She would even suddenly think of Qiao Tianchao, since she left the Northeast, she had lost news with the Northeast, and the Nanjing headquarters was clear about the situation in the Northeast, but she would not report it to these women. Later, she still read the news of the fall of Northeast China in the newspapers on the street, which was a fall for the Kuomintang, but liberation for the Communist Party. She was happy for days because of this news. She didn't know what Qiao Tianchao's fate was, maybe Qiao Tianchao threw himself into the arms of the People's Liberation Army, or was sent to another place by the Kuomintang. The more she thought about it, the more lonely she felt. But she understands that even if she can't see Qiao Tianchao, the organization will not leave her alone, and through this period of underground work, she firmly believes that the organization is everywhere. Don't look at Nanjing as the base camp of the Kuomintang, on the surface, it looks like a faction of singing and dancing, but among those unfamiliar faces, maybe which person is your own person.

She was tormenting herself day by day in loneliness, and finally waited for the day to go to Jinan, and then her heart fell to the ground. Until Qiao Tianchao led her into the "home" that belonged to them in Jinan, she couldn't hold back anymore, leaned against the door, and tears flowed down her eyes. Qiao Tianchao looked at her and said at a loss: What's the matter, you and I are safe, and the people in my hometown are also very good, what's wrong with you?

She didn't speak, looked at the "home" in front of her, and muttered: It's so nice here.

Qiao Tianchao looked at her and let out a long breath.

Liu Banjiao and Shangpin's wife only learned that their husband did not come out of the northeast after arriving in Jinan, and the two women lost their men at once, and their sad mood can be imagined. Liu sat in the courtyard with half his feet covered and his head scattered, his face turned up, and he shouted and said: God, you let me have no man, how can I live for the rest of my life. God, why don't you open your eyes and see how pitiful I am.

Qiao Tianchao could only do the appeasement work on the side, and as soon as he persuaded Liu Banjiao, Shangpin's wife cried bitterly again. Qiao Tianchao stood there, looking at this, looking at that, he was uncomfortable by the woman's crying. If you put aside class feelings, the two women in front of you are indeed pitiful enough. The military command station can manage them for a while, but it may not be able to manage them for a lifetime.

Shen Lina saw the scene in front of her, stood up and said without pain in her waist: What is there to cry about, your husband stays in the Northeast, and when the national army takes the Northeast back, your husband will be the first-class hero, and you will not be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future. When the time comes, we want to slap you, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it.

Liu Banjiao listened, and stopped for five seconds, and the people on the side thought that she had listened to it, and they were secretly rejoicing, but unexpectedly, Liu Banjiao slammed into Shen Lina, howling: My man doesn't want to eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, why don't your man stay in the Northeast? You have a man in your arms, and you're here talking about it.

If it is said that when men are there, these women will also take into account the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Shen Lina is the wife of the stationmaster after all, but now that there are no men, what do you talk about superiors and subordinates. The two women ignored it completely, they wanted to ask Shen Lina for an explanation, so they rushed towards Shen Lina like crazy. Shen Lina let out a "whoosh" and ran out.

Since then, one can often hear the sound of Liu Banjiao and Shangpin's wife crying and shouting, for them, the sky falls when they lose their man.

Qiao Tianchao and Wang Xiaofeng arrived in Jinan, where they were unfamiliar with their lives, and for a while they were like kites with broken strings, and they desperately wanted to get in touch with the organization as soon as possible.

At night, when neither of them could sleep, Wang Xiaofeng tiptoed open the door of the inner room and asked in a low voice: Hey, are you asleep?

Qiao Tianchao sat up from the sofa and lit a cigarette. Wang Xiaofeng walked out of the back room, and the two of them spoke through the shadows.

She asked: The organization will not forget us, right?

He said, "How?" I haven't contacted us now, so maybe it's not the right time.

She asked again in the dark: What do you say those comrades-in-arms in my hometown will do now?

He pondered for a moment and said: Maybe it's a march, maybe it's a battle, maybe it's resting.

As soon as they talked about this, both of them were a little excited. So, she told the interesting stories of the guerrilla war over and over again, some of which she had already said many times, but she still couldn't help but say it, and every time she said it, there was a sense of freshness. He also chattered endlessly that he was "scratching his tongue" in the reconnaissance company and engaging in reconnaissance. When the two of them say this, it seems that they are two children who have not grown up, and in the days when they have lost contact with the organization, they just rely on their memories to pass the long night.
