Chapter 24: Heroes
Time flies, time flies, just half a year after Li Tieguo got back into the car, he had buried Xu Fangling deep in his heart, and suddenly she appeared again, maybe this is fate, but also fate,
In five or three years, there is one thing worthy of celebration by all Chinese, and it is also the pride of all the children of Yanxia, that is, China won the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and beyond the 38th parallel, the US military can never step half a step again, and the United States, which was the number one superpower at that time, claimed to be the world leader and led China for a hundred years, was defeated, armed from teeth to heels, and the American army, known as the myth of invincibility, lost for the first time,
Mark Wayne Clark, the third commander-in-chief of the United States to resist US aggression and aid Korea, once said that he received an unworthy glory and became the first American commander-in-chief to sign an armistice without victory.
And the war is also cruel, the Chinese soldiers can lead the world's number one power on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the former powers suppressed outside the 38th parallel, but also paid a very heavy price, more than 100,000 volunteer soldiers spilled blood on the outer frontier, defend the country, loyal to the party, can sing and cry, it is their bravery and fearlessness, to the US imperialists to give a warning message, so that the US imperialists in the years to come, no longer dare to use force against China, the deeds of the heroes are worth passing down through the ages, their sacrifice is worth it, but also admired, even the US military, I was also shocked by the spirit of the Chinese fighters who were not afraid of sacrifice, they were indelible heroes!
And the war is over, the soldiers' commendation meeting has also been put on the agenda, and then the commendation of the railway driver has also begun, our section of the hero Yang Hongjun went to North Korea in 1951, as the 1885 locomotive driver captain, once braved the enemy's strafing and bombing, rescued 7 locomotives and military trains, so that the 1885 locomotive never had any accidents during the period to resist US aggression and aid Korea, prevented 9 accidents, won the Democratic Republic of Korea Second-class Soldier Medal, the Ministry of Railways first-class merit, They were received by Kim Il-sung, the great leader of the Korean people, and Peng Dehuai, commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and attended a celebratory banquet in Shenyang with the soldiers; our Duan brilliantly completed the military transportation task, and 20 staff members were awarded first, second, and third class merits or collective merits; but what we deeply remember is that in the war, our section workers Wang Xianzhang, Li Guangshun, Zhang Baiyun, Liu Bao, Li Dianwen, Miao Lianju and other comrades were honorably killed by enemy planes. There were also comrades who were seriously wounded,
At that time, the medals and medals of meritorious personnel of the Chinese People's Volunteers were rather special; the state only awarded the "Commemorative Medal to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" to all officers and men of the volunteers, and did not issue medals or medals for war merit, because at that time our army did not have unified medals and medals, but the soldiers' combat exploits were all recorded, and the "August 1 Medal," "Medal of Independence and Freedom," and "Liberation Medal" issued in 1955 were awarded to meritorious personnel who participated in our army before September 30, 1949. The DPRK awarded the "Gold Star Medal", the 123rd "National Flag Medal", the 123rd "Freedom and Independence Medal", and the 123rd "Warrior Honor Medal".
Li Tieguo, who was in the section, was also very excited after hearing that the war had been won, and even went to sell some sweet fruits to eat, and celebrated by himself, and when Li Tieguo was on vacation and eating sweet fruits in the vegetarian dormitory, someone suddenly came in, Wu Laosan was driving on duty at that time, so Li Tieguo knew that it was someone else, so he stood up and looked,
"Tieguo, someone is looking for you outside!"
It was none other than the uncle of the security department in the section, and after he saw Li Tieguo, he pointed to the direction of the gate.
At this time, when Li Tieguo heard this, he stood in place and hesitated for a moment, and then walked out with a confused face, and was even a little confused, the person who could wait for him at the door was definitely not a person in the railway section, nor would it be a superior leader, but he didn't know anyone outside? There are no relatives, could it be a matchmaker? But matchmakers don't all come at night, and they shouldn't come in the daytime, but it's normal working hours during the day.
waited until Li Tieguo was about to walk to the gate, Li Tieguo still couldn't think of anyone who could come to him, the social interaction was very simple at that time, he knew so many people, and he counted them all.
After leaving the gate, Li Tieguo stood at the door and took a look, there was a person in front of the gate of Duan, standing quite far away, still a girl, so Li Tieguo was embarrassed to stare at others, so he looked back and forth a few times, and finally in the corner of his eye, he found that the girl walked towards him,
At that time, Li Tieguo actually knew in his heart that it was the girl who was looking for him, but he still pretended not to know, looking back and forth, until the girl walked in front of him, he glanced at the girl, so he was stunned, it was no one else, it was Xu Fangling herself, at this time she did not wear the doctor's white coat, but wore a gray earth-colored tunic suit, which looked very fat, and Xu Fangling was even thinner.
"I'm sorry to disturb your work!"
After Xu Fangling saw Li Tieguo come out, she stood in place and hesitated slightly, but then she still walked over, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
"Oh no, no, I'm on shift, I won't have to work!"
Li Tieguo saw that it was Xu Fangling, so he hurriedly waved his hand, although he was very puzzled in his heart, but his face was also very enthusiastic, without any estrangement, let alone resentment, and this time he met, Li Tieguo seemed a lot more generous, after all, he didn't have any other ideas, so their meeting was like a meeting between friends,
"I... There's something I'd like to ask you! ”
Xu Fangling was quite polite when she saw Li Tieguo at this time, so she felt a lot more relaxed, raised her hand and rubbed her long hair, like a little girl,
"You say!"
"My brother... Will he have a chance to work on the railroad? ”
Li Tie's Chinese tone was hearty and straightforward, while Xu Fangling's face was full of contemplation, and his expression was slightly bitter,
"It's... You shouldn't ask me about this, you are also from the railway unit, ask the leader! ”
Li Tieguo's expression was slightly stunned for Xu Fangling's question, and he didn't understand it in his heart, but he answered very quickly, after all, he really couldn't answer this kind of thing, if Xu Zhengyi asked, he might still be the same as before, because Xu Zhengyi is not a railway employee, he is a student, so he definitely doesn't understand much, and Xu Fangling is different, she is also from the railway, so many things should be understood, she came to ask, Li Tieguo didn't know what it meant, and in the previous time, Xu Zhengyi didn't say that his sister asked him to obey the organizational arrangement, but now his sister is ......
"Hmm... My brother doesn't study medicine, and the hospital definitely can't get in, so I want to be in the road bureau..."
Xu Fangling said this, her expression was even more gloomy and embarrassed, and in the end, there was some tentative meaning, it seemed that the meaning was obvious, and she wanted to know if Li Tieguo had any way, or how to say it,
"You have to ask the leader, if the leader wants someone, there should be hope, but the railway is so professional, and your brother is learning textiles, why don't you go to work in the textile factory, how good it is to go to the textile factory, and I am a worker, the specific situation, I really don't know!"
Li Tieguo told the truth, but he was not arrogant at all, and his expression was still very helpless, but he was very curious in his heart, why could Xu Fangling come here to ask him about this matter, first, how did she change her mind, and second, there are so many railway employees, she is from a hospital, and she must know a lot of people, why can she ask himself here?
And after Xu Fangling listened to Li Tieguo's words, her expression became even more embarrassed, and she could even be said to be a little bitter melon face, but this had nothing to do with Li Tieguo, but the things in them and her brother made her too annoying, so in the end, Xu Fangling nodded, smiled reluctantly, and looked a little forced to smile,
"You're right, I'm too anxious, but please also ask Angkor in your house to see if there is any job that is more suitable for our family's justice, if we can find one, our family will definitely visit him every year in the future!"
Xu Fangling's heart was already in chaos, so she could talk in the east and west, and mentioned Wu Laosan as she spoke, and then looked grateful, and Li Tieguo frowned when she saw Xu Fangling's appearance, and asked her Xu Zhengyi What's wrong? Why do you have to go to Angkor, isn't the school directly assigned?
"My brother... My brother's school is directly assigned, but he doesn't like to go, you can help ask, thank you! ”
Xu Fangling saw that Li Tieguo's momentum was about to ask the truth, so he thought for a few seconds, then waved his hand, and smiled, as if it was really like this,
But Li Tieguo is not a fool, he can still feel it if he is weak-hearted, but he saw that since Xu Fangling was unwilling to say, he was embarrassed to continue to ask, after all, this may be related to other people's family affairs, Li Tieguo is an outsider, wouldn't it be very bad to ask more,
After Xu Fangling finished speaking and left, this reunion made Li Tieguo have a different emotion, it seems that when he saw Xu Fangling again, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling, as if he was cordial, long gone, but seemed unwilling and lonely,
And more of them are still bright and comfortable, just like when he first met Xu Fangling, when he drove a train, on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he had no ideas, just comrades, what to say, even if he looked directly into the eyes of the other party, there would be no nervousness, seeing only clarity and trust, unlike later, he also blamed Wu Laosan for messing around, and Li Tieguo seemed to be a thief with ulterior motives, and he was nervous after seeing Xu Fangling.
And Li Tieguo himself has become more and more aware of a truth, love is a thing, it doesn't need too many decorations and methods, instead of premeditating for a long time, and it still makes people doubt and speculate, it's better to go with the flow, isn't this kind of thing just a matter of course?
At night, Li Tieguo packed up in the dormitory, and he had to take shifts in the middle of the night tonight, and that was when Wu Laosan came back, he drove for a long time, and he kept looking, which was quite tiring, so he lay down when he arrived at the dormitory,
