forty-six

Sun Chengwei's days in Jian'an Coal Mine were impressive, Sun Chenghui and Liu Cunyi were not at home, and all the rules did not exist, and the children laughed around Sun Chengwei all day long, and the house was in a mess, like a dog kennel.

Liu Yuanchao believed that his uncle Sun Chengwei was a "hero", and often pestered Sun Chengwei, asking Sun Chengwei to tell his "heroic story". In the eyes of Liu Shengli and Liu Yuejin, Liu Yuanchao, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is a great hero, and the sisters and brothers listened to Liu Yuanchao's order to hang Sun Chengwei by the neck and climb on Sun Chengwei's back. The children threatened that if their uncle didn't tell their "heroic story" again, they would shoot him.

Sun Chengwei was forced to be helpless, so he had to beg for mercy: "Okay, good, little ancestors, I'll speak, I'll speak!" ”

Only then did the children quiet down and stare at Sun Chengwei.

Sun Chengwei didn't know what to say: "Tell me, what do you want your uncle to say?" ”

Liu Yuanchao said: "Telling your heroic story is like sitting in a Japanese devil's prison!" ”

Sun Chengwei said: "That...... That's not interesting, it's really not interesting! ”

Liu Yuanchao shouted: "Why is it boring? It's chili water again, and it's a tiger chair, can it be boring? Uncle, tell me quickly, when the devil poured you chili water, did you recruit it? Have you ever thought about the mutiny revolution? ”

Sun Chengwei responded: "Aiding Korea, look at what you said, how can you confess as soon as you pour chili pepper water and betray the revolution?!" Is that still a revolutionary?! My uncle never thought of betraying the revolution from the day he did the revolution! ”

Liu Yuanchao immediately turned around and educated Liu Shengli: "Shengli, did you hear that?" Even if you pour chili pepper water, you can't betray the revolution, and my uncle is a good example for us! With his head stretched out, he asked again, "Uncle, how many pots did the devil pour you?" ”

Sun Chengwei blinked: "Aiding Korea, this is not a scientific question, right?" Do you think, who could care about counting the devil at that time? It's the same thing as not feeling cold on your butt when you're being pumped. ”

Liu Yuanchao was still in hot pursuit: "Uncle, how many pots do you estimate the devil poured on you?" ”

Sun Chengwei couldn't cry or laugh: "I can't remember clearly, it's three or five pots!" ”

Pan Pan asked, "Uncle, how big is this pot?" It's bigger than the kettle we have to boil water, right? ”

Sun Chengwei pretended to look at the kettle boiling water on the stove: "Well, it's a little bigger than this pot." ”

The children suddenly let out a sigh of surprise.

After the children's serious "development", Sun Chengwei gradually entered the role, really thought that he was a revolutionary, pacing in the house like a hero, and blowing nonsense along the ground: "Comrades, pouring a few pots of chili water is still trivial, the most powerful thing is to use a red-hot soldering iron to brand meat, magnetic and magnetic cheering, the house is full of the smell of human oil, you can't breathe!" That time, when the devil Captain Yamamoto branded me, I shouted: Down with Japanese imperialism......"

Liu Yuanchao was puzzled: "Uncle, isn't this right?" When you were sentenced, you shouted slogans like this, and the devil didn't kill you? In the movie, slogans are shouted when heroes sacrifice. Uncle, let me ask you, what part were you from at that time? Was he captured by the devils during the war, or was he betrayed by a shameful traitor......"

As soon as Liu Yuanchao was serious, Sun Chengwei woke up, didn't dare to blow nonsense anymore, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, comrades, that's the end of my uncle's story." Next, my uncle is going to assign you a combat mission! ”

As soon as he heard that there was a combat mission, Liu Yuanchao didn't go to the bottom of it: "Uncle, tell me quickly, are we the artillery tower of the devil, or are we preparing to counter-sweep?" ”

Sun Chengwei waved his hand: "Neither." Now our most important task is neither to end the devil's turret nor to sweep up, but to open up the wasteland and farm the land to help your father and mother tide over the difficulties. Comrades, your mother gave birth to another little brother, a little sister, who is very weak and needs nourishment, right? ”

The children exclaimed, "Yes! ”

Sun Chengwei said: "Then let's do it, learn the spirit of Nanniwan of the Eighth Road, plant vegetables on the land in front of and behind our house, and my uncle will take you to plant." "I accidentally said something out of my mouth, "My uncle has grown vegetables in the labor camp, and he is still an expert at growing vegetables!" ”

Liu Yuanchao immediately questioned: "Uncle, does the devil's prison also have a labor camp?" ”

Sun Chengwei was stunned for a moment, and covered up: "Of course there is, there are power grids on all sides, and wolf dogs!" ”

Liu Yuanchao said: "I know, it's not called a labor camp, it's called a prisoner of war camp. ”

Sun Chengwei had to admit that Liu Yuanchao was correct: "Yes, yes, it is a prisoner of war camp, and my uncle has been growing vegetables in the prisoner of war camp for several years. Uncle Caizi is here, the fertilizer problem is relatively big, and my uncle's measure is that from now on, we will not have fertilizer and water to flow into the fields of outsiders, and we will have to sprinkle and pee on our own ground, and the feces in the public toilet will also be picked up into our fields. Let's plant carrots and cabbage......"

Yuejin snorted and suggested: "Uncle, plant some more fritters, the fritters are delicious!" ”

Liu Yuanchao pushed away and leaped forward: "Go, go, little guy, you know a fart!" Pulling Sun Chengwei enthusiastically, "Uncle, just do what you say, let's act now, okay?" ”

Sun Chengwei waved his hand: "Okay, comrades, we will fight at night now!" ”

The children cheered, and under the leadership of Sun Chengwei, they began to cultivate the land in front of the house and behind the house that night.

After that, tending to the vegetable garden became an important part of Sun Chengwei's life. Whenever the three eldest children of Aid Korea, Panpan, and Shengli went to school, Sun Chengwei took Yuejin to work in the vegetable garden. Gradually, the garden became a decent one, surrounded by a fence with branches, with clear ditches, and carrots and small greens growing vigorously.

Mother Zou Zhaodi was very emotional, thinking that Sun Chengwei had not been imprisoned in vain all these years, and he was really able to do something serious. What especially moved Zou Zhaodi was that Sun Chengwei, who only knew that he enjoyed it in the past, also knew how to feel sorry for others. Sun Chengwei was never reluctant to eat the vegetables grown in the field, so he let Zou Zhaodi and the children eat them, and almost all of his three meals a day were salted boiled water.

At noon on this day, Sun Chengwei finished picking up the vegetable garden, and then gnawed on the vegetable nest with salt and boiled water. Zou Zhaodi saw it and said, "Dawei, aren't there freshly burned carrots here, why don't you eat them?" Salt boiled water again! ”

Sun Chengwei said: "Leave the carrots for the children to eat at night. ”

Zou Zhaodi was angry, forced a bowl of carrots over, and forced Sun Chengwei to eat a few bites.

During this period, the mine was also very concerned about their family. Liu Cunyi resolutely refused to receive the 15 catties of meal tickets subsidized by the party committee, and Tang Ping, secretary of the party committee of the mine, took the people in the mine to send things to their homes again and again. Sometimes it's flour, sometimes it's eggs. Tang Ping said that Liu Cunyi is a meritorious man of Jian'an Mine, and Sun Chenghui is in such a situation, the mine can't be ignored, there are not many things, so it can be regarded as a heart!

After going back and forth like this, Sun Chengwei and Tang Ping also got acquainted. Tang Ping felt that Sun Chengwei planting vegetables and taking children not only helped Liu Cunyi a lot, but also helped him and the mine a lot. Therefore, when the Beijing Ping Theater came to the mine to give a condolence performance, Tang Ping specially asked the miners to send a good ticket for No. 2 in a row to Sun Chengwei, and asked Sun Chengwei to watch the wonderful performance of the famous actor Liu Ruhua.

That night, sitting on the No. 2 seat in a row of Jian'an Coal Mine Hall in Anhui Province and watching "Liu Qiaoer" starring Liu Ruhua, Sun Chengwei felt in a trance that he had returned to the year when he was cheering for Liu Ruhua......

It was also on this night that Sun Chenghui was discharged from the hospital with difficulties and natural twins.

As soon as Sun Chenghui walked in the door, the children happily surrounded her, cheering and jumping: "Oh, mom is back!" Mommy is back! ”

Sun Chenghui looked at the children and asked, "It's so late, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Liu Yuanchao said: "Mom, we are waiting for our uncle, and my uncle will not take us to the theater!" ”

Sun Chenghui immediately asked her mother Zou Zhaodi: "Where did my brother get the tickets?" ”

Zou Zhaodi said: "Oh, it was given by Secretary Tang, and Liu Ruhua's troupe went to the mine to condole, don't you know?" ”

Sun Chenghui was stunned: "Fourth Sister Liu is here?" ”

Zou Zhaodi nodded: "Yes, as soon as your brother heard that Fourth Sister Liu was coming, his eyes were straight all day." ”

Sun Chenghui said angrily: "What are you doing with this person?!" Now Liu Ruhua is a big actor who is famous all over the country! ”

Zou Zhaodi said: "Your brother is just going to watch a play, and he will go to Liu Ruhua to catch up with the old love?" ”

Sun Chenghui said: "This is not certain, what can't my brother do?" He's bold! ”

Liu Yuanchao immediately picked it up and confirmed: "That's it, Mom!" My uncle even sat in prison for Japanese devils, and he was filled with three or five pots of chili water alone, so what else did he dare not do? My uncle said that he dared to shout 'Down with Japanese imperialism' in the devil's prison......"

Sun Chenghui stiffened her face and asked Liu Yuanchao: "Who told you that your uncle was in the prison of a Japanese devil?" ”

Liu Yuanchao said: "My uncle said it himself, Mom, you don't know about such a big thing?!" ”

Sun Chenghui was inconvenient to be angry with the children, but shouted at her mother: "Mom, look at my brother, he dares to blow it like this, and he is not afraid to blow it up!" Tell me, this kind of thing has to be known to Cunyi?! ”

Zou Zhaodi also grinned: "You...... Your brother is ...... too. It's so uncountable! ”
