Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (17)

"This Mrs. Wei is the niece of Chairman Jiang and the eldest princess of the Republic of China, and we only found out from the news of their marriage published in the newspaper. At that time, I was still in the girls' middle school, to be honest, we were all a little uneven, how could a flower be inserted in cow dung, and the princess of the Republic of China actually let a Guangxi barbarian marry! In the small courtyard at the foot of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, a woman said quietly.

It's still the yard, it's still the gate that is adducted, and the vegetable patch outside the door is not very lush because of the lack of people, although the grass is not higher than the seedlings, but it can't be said to be leafy. Under the porch, in addition to the small table, there was a canvas chaise longue, on which lay a man who was getting thinner and thinner. Although the man is still in spirit, his face is a little haggard, there is less flesh on his face, his eyes are obviously blind, he squints tightly, his lips are very dry, but he is a little red, and his face is even more yellow. A thin loungewear was worn underneath the large shorts known locally as chimney wipes, and two hemp legs peeking out of the cuffs. Barefoot, his feet are also very thin, and he can see the green tendons. Under the chaise longue there was a pair of shoes with a white heel. The man smiled and said, "Then don't you also marry me, a Guangxi barbarian." ”

"That's normal, I'm the daughter of an ordinary family, but I'm a princess." Mrs. Zhou raised her face and smiled, when she was losing weight day by day, she was getting more and more graceful, her face was ruddy, her body was plump, and she saw the old cheongsam, tightly wrapped around her body, which made her look jade and round. A woman in her thirties is the most brilliant time of her life. It was the height of summer, Mrs. Zhou sat next to Mo Di, holding a huge Parker pen in her right hand, shaking a big pu fan in her left hand, the wind blew on herself, and also on Mo Di, the scene was very warm.

"In my eyes, you are the princess." Mo Di blocked the shaking fan and held the hand that shook the fan tightly.

"That's why you're blind!" Mrs. Zhou quipped. These times, she has been helping Mo Di complete his memoirs, knowing that she, a husband, has a big heart, which is not commensurate with his appearance, he has no self-pity, can bear any self-deprecation and ridicule, and most of the time, he will find some excuses and feelings in some mockery.

"It's all retribution!" Mo Di said: "I remember the first time I saw the gas bomb, I saw Zhang Guangwei blind, and then I was hit by the gas bomb several times, but I was not blind, and I thought that my eyes were very good, and I would not be blind in this life, but I didn't expect that in the end I was still blind under a bag of lime powder, not what retribution is." ”

"I remember, when we got married, Wei Yongcheng came, but the princess didn't come, Wei Yongcheng said, let me go to Lihuang after I get married, and go to the Zhongzheng School opened by his wife to be a teacher, but then you still don't agree, so I didn't go to Cheng." Mrs. Zhou asked, "Brother Fu, why don't you want me to go?" ”

"Reluctantly!" Mo Di said very easily: "I finally got your wife, and I can't bear to be separated." I don't know if it's a bit fleshy to answer like this? ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "A little, but I really didn't expect that not long after we got married, you would be transferred back to the Guilin Army School for further study, if I went to Lihuang to be a teacher, I was afraid that I would not be able to leave for a while, and I could only live separately from you." ”

"So I'm reluctant." Mo Di kept holding his wife's hand and didn't let go.

"When we went to Guilin, Zhang Xiaohui, the wife of Chief of Staff Jin Tongxuan, laughed at me, saying that you have the foresight and know that you are leaving western Anhui, so you don't agree with me to go to Lihuang." Mrs. Zhou asked, "Did you know that when Wei Yongcheng asked me to go to Lihuang, you knew that you were going back to Guilin to study." ”

Mo Di shook his head and said: "We got married in February, and we went to Guilin in June. Okay, let's not talk about our affairs, let's continue to write, we just wrote about the New Year's Day of the 30th year of the Republic of China (1941), there is still a year and a month before we get married, there are too many things that have happened in this year, and some things are really unforgettable. ”

Zhou Shiming nodded, she pulled out her hand from Mo Di's clench, entered the house and took a cup of warm tea, and handed it to Mo Di. Mo Di took it, sat up straight from the recliner, sat cross-legged, and slowly took a small sip. You can't drink water too quickly, and if you are not careful, it will cause a sky-high coughing sound. Not long ago, Dr. Zhang, the former military doctor and now the director of a military hospital in Nanjing, came to Hong Kong to attend a seminar in the medical field, and after the special approval, he made a special trip to visit Mo Di, and also brought Mo Di some Chinese patent medicine tea to nourish the lungs, telling him that some soldiers in China who had been hit by the Japanese army's poison gas bombs during the Anti-Japanese War had more or less serious problems in the past few years, and most of them were in the lungs. Give them targeted recuperations. Like Modi, the relative situation is especially serious if the lungs are infected and re-injured. Doctor Zhang asked Mo Di to insist on drinking, as long as he insisted on not smoking or drinking, and was less angry and more healthy, there would still be some time. In the conversation with Dr. Zhang, Mo Di knew that because of the domestic * and the forced debt of the Soviet Union, life was not easy, and only a few people who were injured back then and can now be treated for their illnesses. Relatively speaking, in Hong Kong, the teachers' union gave me some subsidies, and the Guangxi villagers in Hong Kong had some donations, although life was tighter, it was not impossible to live. However, some veterans who have been poison gas bombs in China have relapsed into stubborn diseases due to malnutrition or lack of timely treatment, and there are many people who lie on hospital beds and even go away with hatred. The aftermath of the war affected him by no means the only one, and he was really not alone. Mo Di smiled and said to Dr. Zhang that he had calculated that in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, his regiment fought hard for eight years, and many of his own people died, but more Japanese died in the hands of his regiment, more than ten times as much. It can be said that even if he died fifteen years ago, he would have lived enough, and he was able to live to this day, and those ten years were all extra earned. Dr. Zhang told him that since he could earn it, he might as well earn it for a few more days, and if he could earn a few more years, he would earn a few more years. In the past few decades, there were too many dead people, and Lord Yama might not have been able to get busy, maybe if he accidentally missed it, Mo Di even became immortal.

The eyes are no longer visible, and the heart understands more clearly, the past is like a movie in front of Mo Enemy, and the scenes are clear.

On New Year's Day, Qin Guosheng went to Guo Taiqing's station on behalf of the field supplement group and expressed the meaning of the field supplement group. Regarding Guo Taiqing's request, the attitude of the Ye Butuan is inconsistent, Shi Zhong is the one who votes in favor, Jin Tongxuan is the one who votes against, Luo Wei is the one who has different opinions, and Mo Di does not express his opinion. Several people finally decided to hold a meeting to discuss, and inform Ouyang Jin, Zhong Dingnai, and Zhong Liang of Wuhe to come to Heaven and ask He Degui and Qin Guosheng to put down their work and unify their opinions. If there was really no unanimous opinion, a vote was put on by a show of hands, and nine people raised their hands, half of which passed.

He Degui is a good person, and turned the conference room into a restaurant, with nine people sitting at a garden table, drinking and discussing. Luo Wei said with a smile, such a discussion, I am afraid that from the beginning of the 30th year of the Republic of China to the end of the 30th year of the Republic of China, there will be no one, two, three. He Degui replied more directly, we don't need to be in a hurry about this matter, even if we are in a hurry, it should be Guo Taiqing's urgency, we can't be anxious about the urgency of the world first, or sit down calmly to discuss the matter, which is more effective. Mo Di smiled and said, it's none of your business, hang high, this is what Mr. Mao Runzhi, chairman of the Central Committee of the Red Party, said in 1937, you are really those people criticized by Mr. Mao. Jin Tongxuan asked in surprise, will the boss still read the books over there? Mo Di told him that it was the article introduced by Yang Kezhi, which was well written, better than what Lao Jiang wrote, and what Lao Jiang wrote knew at a glance that it was Chen Bui's masterpiece. Zhong Liang felt from Mo Di's words that Mo Di was still more concerned about the Zongyang guerrilla brigade of the New Fourth Army, and Zhong Liang decided that smart people should learn to understand the will above. If Zhong Liang is a smart person, Zhong Dingnai is an honest person, he starts from his own heart, and he is also relatively friendly to Guo Taiqing, after all, he has fought side by side in the muddy bridge, and when he is cornered, he should help.

The dishes are very rich, He Degui will show all his strength every time he gathers, this time, he actually got an eight-pound pangolin from Tianzhu Mountain, braised a large plate, and also got a giant salamander, that is, the legendary baby fish, weighing six catties. With these two main dishes, and some things like tea tree mushrooms and spiced tofu, it is a good dish on the table. Mo Di asked Jin Tongxuan to bring his wife to make meeting minutes, which was actually to feel the atmosphere of eating and drinking in Yuexi.

Shi Zhong spoke first, he believed that Guo Taiqingbu was a friendly army of course, and since it was a friendly army, it should be treated as a friend.

Jin Tongxuan, on the other hand, took a clear-cut stand against it, believing that the orders of the Central Military Commission should not be disobeyed and should be carried out to the letter.

With Shi Chong's opinion is Zhong Dingnai, and Jin Tongxuan is actually He Degui, He Degui thinks, there is a saying that the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, Jin Tongxuan sighed that it is difficult to accommodate two tigers in one mountain in Dabie Mountain, especially the tiger with super fecundity like the Red Army. Jin Tongxuan and He Degui's words made Shi Chongzhong Dingnai a little speechless, everyone knows that this is the truth.

Luo Wei put forward an opinion, whether it can be co-opted, incorporated into Guo Taiqing's department, and become a part of the eleventh tour. Ouyang Jin thought about Luo Wei's opinion very seriously, thinking that this was a way to get the best of both worlds, and he could give it a try.

Luo Wei's opinion was denied by Qin Guosheng, Qin Guosheng believed that the Red Army was not easy to be absorbed, and the Eighteenth Group Army and the newly formed Fourth Army seemed to be absorbed, but in fact they were completely independent, and they did not listen to the tune or the propaganda.

Everyone focused on Mo Di, and at this time, it was the time to embody the role of the chief officer. Mo Di knew that everyone had expressed their opinions, and it was his turn to speak, and he said very simply: "People must stay, it is too unkind and unrighteous not to stay, it is not our doing." ”

Shi Zhong and Zhong Dingnai breathed a sigh of relief.

But Mo Di's second sentence made them nervous again, and Mo Di continued: "Stay, as a chess piece, we must play this move well." Playing chess and playing chess, we have only heard of people playing chess, but we have not heard of people playing chess, if we are involved in chess pieces, then we are incompetent. Let's discuss how to play this move well. ”

Mo Enemy's words gave everyone a unified idea, with this tone, the next thing is easy to do, nine people and nine kinds of thoughts, if one person works hard in one direction, it will never come together, if everyone works hard in the same direction, the power is quite large. After three glasses of wine, you say a word to me, and before you know it, the plan is basically formed. When Zhang Xiaohui organized the text and read it to everyone, everyone didn't believe that this kind of conspiracy would come from their own hands.
