It is said that Zheng Zhendong took the thermos and returned home after coming out of Wang's house.

At this time, Zheng's mother had already packed up her things and was about to go to the hospital, but Zheng Zhendong hurriedly stopped her, and then told Aunt Wang about her concern.

Mother Zheng was very emotional after hearing this, and couldn't help but say.

"Third child, I was very moved to hear this, since our family came to this courtyard, I feel that I always seem out of place.

There seems to be a kind of estrangement with everyone, I wonder if you feel this way?

However, it seems to be different lately, and I can't figure out why, alas, forget it, I don't have time to pay attention to it now!

I just want to take care of the eldest brother, and I'll talk about the rest later! ”

Zheng Zhendong said in his heart, you don't know what's going on, but I understand what the situation is in this courtyard, but I don't have time to think about it now, so I said.

"Mom, you drink saliva first, and then tell me what happened just now!"

Mother Zheng was indeed a little thirsty, so she picked up the cup, blew it, and then drank it slowly, and only then did she recall.

"I still remember that it was a day in the early summer of the eighteenth year of the Republic of China, the weather was sunny that day, cloudless, and the south wind was blowing slowly.

After breakfast in the morning, your grandmother asked me to go to the river to wash my clothes, so I used a wooden basin to carry the dirty clothes at home and went to the river!

When I got to the river, the big girls and daughters-in-law in the neighborhood also came here to wash clothes!

I met a few little sisters who knew each other well, chatting and washing clothes.

At that time, I didn't know who said a word that made everyone laugh, and I laughed too.

As a result, I accidentally got the clothes in my hand into the river, and I hurriedly chased the washed away clothes along the river!

At the bend of the river, in the reeds, a person came out and helped me intercept my clothes, this person is your father, this is the first time we have met!

At that time, your father was wearing a blue-gray military uniform, an octagonal five-star military cap, an armed belt around his waist, and a barge gun inserted underneath.

The whole person stood there with his clothes in his hand, and asked me with a smile on his face.

This fellow, this is your clothes, give it, don't lose it next time, or you won't be able to catch up!

To be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes, at that time, seeing your father's smile, the whole person was a little confused!

Stupidly took the clothes handed over by your father, and looked at him stupidly, at that time, I felt that my heart was about to jump out, and the whole person was stunned.

Your father said a few words to me at that time, and I just nodded mechanically, completely unaware of what he was.

After a while, your father turned and walked away, watching him walk down the river.

I stood by the river, staring at him in the distance, until I was out of sight, and then I went back to wash my clothes.

Ever since I met your father, all I could think of was his smiling face, and I just wanted to see him again.

It wasn't until ten days later that the Agricultural Association arranged for me to take care of the wounded, and I met your father again!

But when I saw your father this time, he did lose his last look,

I saw him, with a bandage on his head, and his right arm hanging from his neck, and the whole person looked so lonely!

Because we had met before, and I was the one who took care of your father, we quickly became acquainted with each other.

When he was acquainted, I asked him how he was injured.

Your father explained that their pistol team was attacked by the White Dogs, and he was injured as a result.

As for why he leaked a lonely expression, your father and their team were killed and injured many teammates, and he was sad and sad for this, and he missed his dead comrades, so he was like this!

During the time when I was taking care of your father, the relationship between the two of us also followed, and slowly, there was a figure of each other in my heart.

Just after your father's injury healed, I was going to let your father come to my house to propose, but it was such a coincidence!

Just caught up with the team to transfer, your father had to hurriedly take the things and go to your grandmother's house to propose,

At that time, your grandfather had passed away for many years, and your grandmother had the final say in the family, and your grandmother, after asking my opinion, agreed to this family business!

I also heard that the team is going to be transferred, and your grandmother only let me and your father deduct a few heads for her, even if they are married!

Your father took me and transferred with the team, from western Henan to Xiangjiang, and then there was your eldest brother! ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Mu paused for a moment, picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and continued.

"In those years, you also know that although our party and our army have had several uprisings, the ranks have developed and many base areas have been established!

But there were all these comrades who participated in the revolution, and our party was not pure in those years, and there were all kinds of struggles for power and profit.

Although under the leadership of Chairman Li, he defeated several encirclements and suppressions by Lao Chiang, and established a government in Ruijin.

However, the three-man group headed by Wang Ming was blindly confident, and also excluded Chairman Li from the decision-making level, and had to fight a decisive battle with Lao Jiang, resulting in the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression!

In order to get rid of the enemy's encirclement, pursuit, and interception, our party and our army were forced to carry out a strategic shift, abandon the political regime that had just been established, and start the Long March.

Our party and our army were transferred to the Guizhou region, and a meeting was held in Zunyi, Guizhou, to establish Chairman Li's leading position.

At that time, I went to Daliang Mountain with your father with a big belly, followed Liu Mingzhao, Commander Liu and the then political commissar Nie.

Commander Liu made friends with the Yi people, and we also rested there for a while, and gave birth to your second brother.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and the team was about to move again, so I didn't care about the confinement, so I followed the team in and set off.

Under the command of Commander Liu, our army crossed the river at Anshun Field and opened the way for our army to move north.

Your grandparents took your eldest brother, followed by the follow-up army, and also began to set off on the Long March.

However, at that time, our army was in dire shortage of materials, especially food, ammunition, medicine and other materials, which were even more outrageous.

Your grandfather, as the head of the regiment, led their regiment, and a batch of important supplies escorted at that time walked at the rear of the team.

When crossing the meadow, he was pursued by the enemy, in order to protect the supplies.

Your grandfather immediately decided that two companies would stay behind to block the enemy, and one company would continue to escort supplies forward.

In order to escort the company smoothly, your grandfather personally led the troops left behind and fought to the death with the enemy.

Don't look at the scale of the battle is not very large, but in this battle, our army fought extremely fiercely.

Although the pursuers were local troops, the enemy army had a regiment, and they were not the kind of small regiment led by your grandfather, this regiment had a thousand eight men.

The commander of the enemy army saw that your grandfather and them were small, and they lost the general style of the enemy army at that time, and they were even more meritorious, and they didn't take your grandfather's team seriously at first. ”

When Mother Zheng said this, a painful expression leaked from her face.

When Zheng Zhendong saw Zheng's mother like this, he thought of his grandfather Zheng Baoyu, who died during the Long March across the grassland!

I can't help but sigh that my family has paid a lot for the establishment of a new country, my grandfather and father have sacrificed one after another, my eldest brother has also been seriously injured, and my second brother is still on the battlefield on the peninsula, fighting hard with the devils of the ugly country, and I don't know what happened.

Thinking of these, Zheng Zhendong, as a person who traveled through later generations, couldn't help but be in awe.

I secretly decided in my heart that I would treat the people at home well in the future, not with the mentality of still playing games, but completely integrating into it.

Since coming to this world, his behavior and habits have taken the style of later generations, which is very bad, especially for the Jia family to find awkward things several times, and it is very difficult to deal with them.

may still be in later generations, the character who is timid and afraid of causing trouble, after all, he grew up in an orphanage since he was a child.

Without parents and relatives, I grew up alone, and developed the mentality that if I can not offend others, I will not offend others, whether I am a person or a person.

When I just crossed over, my memory of the original owner was not too deep, so I acted according to my nature.

As a result, the neighbors in the courtyard, especially the Jia family, felt that the Zheng family was an outsider, weak and bullied, so they looked awkward again and again.

Zheng Zhendong felt that it was time to change, especially for the Jia family, next time he dared to blow up his hair, and directly beat him to death with a stick, so as not to annoy people.

It's like a toad lying on its feet, although it doesn't bite people, but it responds to people.

Just when Zheng Zhendong was thinking nonsense, Zheng's mother also thought about it, after all, it was all many years ago, so she continued.

"This group of white dogs, wait until you talk to your grandfather and them, and you will regret it, our soldiers are veterans of many years of fighting, and their minds are hard!

After three volleys, in order to save bullets, our soldiers, led by your grandfather, launched a charge against the white dog with a large knife.

The white dog is a group of local security regiments, reorganized into second-rate troops, where have you seen the momentum of our army, although there are many people, after all, there has never been a war!

was rushed by our army, turned around and was about to run, but was cut by the supervision team behind a few who took the lead in escaping, which barely stabilized the situation.

But the soldiers had no desire to fight, and barely fought with our army a few times, and soon collapsed, and finally the enemy commander hurriedly let the mortar platoon fire in the direction of your grandfather's leader.

Even his own people don't care, your grandfather was hit by a shell, broke a leg, and passed out on the spot.

When our army won the battle against the white dog, your grandfather did not receive proper treatment because of excessive blood loss and lack of medical treatment at that time, and soon died on the way to transfer.

Later, we learned about this situation after we met with your grandmother in northern Shaanxi.

When I saw your grandmother, second uncle and eldest brother at that time, they were all hungry and unadult, and it took a few years to get better.

Later, catching up with the invasion of the little devils, our army accepted Lao Jiang's reorganization and gave two military establishments, one was the Eighth Route Army and the other was the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan.

At that time, your father was the commander of the third battalion of the detachment, and later merged with the 385 Brigade 769 Regiment and the Division Independent Regiment to form the new 385 Brigade.

In August of the 27th year of the Republic of China, your father followed Political Commissar Xie from Taihang Mountain to the vicinity of the Pinghan Railway, and participated in the Battle of Hanchang at the end of the year.

Because of the courage and strength during the battle, the commander launched many charges against the little devils.

Your father's momentum is indeed strong when he fights, and every time he charges, he is like a tiger descending a mountain.

was nicknamed "Zheng Laohu" by his comrades-in-arms, which is also for this reason.

At that time, you were just born, and your father gave you the name "Zhendong", which means to suppress the little Oriental devils.

Your eldest brother's name is Zhenguo, which means to suppress the national * party, and your second brother's name is Zhenchuan, which means to suppress the white dogs in Sichuan, these are your father's wishes. ”

Speaking of this, Mother Zheng couldn't hold back any longer, sat on the chair and cried, crying while crying.

"Brother Chengji, you said you, leave early, leave a few children for me!

The boss was injured this time, you don't know, how scared I was in my heart, afraid of the children, and just like you and my father-in-law, I also sacrificed!

Fortunately, Boss Zhenguo is only injured, even if he is really disabled, I admit it, as long as the person comes back alive!

There is also the second Zhenchuan, since he went to the battlefield on the peninsula, only one letter came, and I don't know how he has been doing?

I don't know if I'm worried about him? And a few more letters! ”

Looking at Zheng's mother who was crying, Zheng Zhendong didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to persuade her.

"Mom, don't cry, my dad has sacrificed this for so many years, you want to open it!

There are still me and Xinyi at home, and the eldest brother is also back, the second brother is sure that Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be safe and sound, maybe he will come back in a few days! ”

Mother Zheng listened to Zheng Zhendong's words, her crying gradually became quieter, and after a while, her eyes were red and she asked.

"Third brother, your second brother, will you really come back in a few days?"

Zheng Zhendong said in his heart, how can I know about this, but seeing that Zheng's mother looked at him with a look of hope, he had to say.

"Maybe, you haven't seen how many teams are going to the peninsula now, didn't the troops who first entered the DPRK come back one after another, and my second brother is estimated to be soon!"

Don't look at Zheng Zhendong's blind guessing, after hearing this, Zheng's mother felt that it was still very reasonable, so she said with a smile.

"Hey, if your second brother can come back, our family will be fine!

When the time comes, your eldest brother and Huairu will get married, and your second brother will find a daughter-in-law again, and after you graduate, you will also get married!

How many more children will there be in the family, what day will it be? Ah! It's beautiful just to think about! ”

Zheng Zhendong looked at Zheng's mother with an excited look on her face, and couldn't help but say.

"Mom, you're thinking too long-term, it's a little early to think about this now!

Or do you say, the Ministry of Armed Forces and the streets, why don't you go and visit my eldest brother? ”

Zheng's mother was interrupted by Zheng Zhendong's fantasy, and she was a little unhappy at first, but when she heard her third child ask, she still explained.

"Your eldest brother became a soldier in four or eight years, and the second brother also became a soldier on our way to the capital.

Their household registration has not fallen on our street at all, how can people come to see him!

At that time, we were not in Taihang Mountain, and then we went to a few places, so it is understandable that people don't go to see your eldest brother in this matter! ”

When Zheng Zhendong heard Zheng's mother say this, he suddenly realized, and said in his heart, how did he forget about the household registration, the eldest brother, the second brother didn't know about it.

Zheng Zhendong, who understood the reason, saw that it was not early at this time, so he said to Zheng's mother.

"Mom, I finally figured this out, if you don't say it, I really don't know!

Okay, I understand now, I see that it's not early, you can go back to the hospital quickly! ”

Mother Zheng nodded knowingly, and said while getting up and getting dressed.

"Okay, third, I'll go back to the hospital, I'm not at home these days, you take care of your sister, I won't say much else!"

Zheng's mother got dressed, carried the packed things, went out to push the bicycle, and then went out of the gate of the compound before riding towards the hospital.
