What An Xuemei didn't expect was that her inspiration would bring so much trouble.

Later, Zhang Pujing obediently accepted the arrangement of Dou Yuquan and An Xuemei, and secretly returned to City D, although the original house had been raided and sealed, and he temporarily lived in an abandoned workshop in the military repair factory, but Zhang Pujing did not care. It's just that something went wrong with the dress. As soon as Zhang Pujing returned to "home", the first thing he did was to look for his military uniform, and all he looked for was a pile of tattered rags used to wipe the machine. Zhang Pujing was like a trapped beast, shouting.

There was no way, so Zhang Yuan had to borrow a set of men's military uniforms of similar model from his comrades-in-arms, and took off his collar badge and cockade to decorate it for his father.

The old problems are solved, and new ones arise again. Zhang Pujing put on the barely fitting military uniform, looked in the mirror several times, and then noisily wanted to get out of the army and have a meeting. In those days, An Xuemei and Dou Yuquan also found excuses to stay in the military headquarters, and tried every means to prevaricate, but to no avail.

I had to continue to fool around. An Xuemei said: "There is still half a month to leave the meeting, and Political Commissar Zhang will rest first. ”

Zhang Pujing was furious: "Nonsense, March 18th is tomorrow." ”

Dou Yuquan and An Xuemei were suddenly stupid, this lie was really bad, you said he was delirious, he clearly remembered that the meeting was March 18th, and it was tomorrow.

"What do the people from the headquarters and the political department eat? Why not get ready! What a work style! Zhang Pujing became more angry, kicked over the small table in front of him, and rolled the boiling water bottle and teacup to the ground.

Wang Chenghua couldn't hold back any longer, and hugged An Xuemei with tears and snot: "What's going on?" How can people live like this? ”

The daughter was weeping to herself while cleaning up the broken things. This side just cleaned up neatly, and Zhang Pujing smashed the mirror again: "Enemies, traitors, Japanese criminals, Jiang bandits, get out of me!" Where are your rice buckets, where are the meeting materials? Why don't you set up the venue? Why can't I start the meeting on time? I removed you! ”

No one spoke anymore, allowing Zhang Pujing to sabotage in a big way.

That day, Dou Yuquan smoked a total of four cigarettes at Zhang Pujing's house, and finally he decided to talk to Zhu Zhudao, the acting military commander who was in charge of the work.

The meeting was held in top secret, and Zhang Pujing's wife Wang Chenghua and daughters Zhang Chengwei and An Xuemei also attended. First, Wang Chenghua introduced Zhang Pujing's situation with tears in his eyes, An Xuemei added, Zhu Zhudao was blushing and didn't say a word. Finally, Dou Yuquan spoke.

Dou Yuquan said: "Everyone is an old comrade-in-arms, we are on the side, you can help." I think Lao Zhang's problem is serious, and if he doesn't let him open this meeting, everyone won't be able to live in peace. Perhaps, this is an opportunity for him to make a report, maybe he will come to his senses. ”

Zhu pre-said and said: "Lao Dou, please understand my difficulties, it's ***** now, if I arrange this meeting, he will attack ***** with nonsense, let the above know, I will not escape the death penalty." ”

Dou Yuquan said: "What we want you to do is to borrow the auditorium for a morning. ”

Zhu said pre-said: "You said it lightly, since there is going to be a meeting, there must be someone below, right?" There has to be lights, right? You have to have a microphone, right? You have to set up a ** table, right? After doing it so vigorously, the matter here is not over, and the rebels over there will come to pick my skin. This cannot be done. ”

Dou Yuquan said confidently: "Old Zhu, you think too complicated. He is a psychopath, and this meeting is just to stabilize his emotions, and of course the hope of a miracle is not ruled out...... Now, what else can we do? Since he is insane, we don't need to follow normal thinking. There can be no audience in the venue, he has bad eyes, he can't see, and the lights only hit the ** stage, giving him an empty city plan. The microphone can be placed several, and it can be left unplugged. But there should be applause, edited from the tapes of past conferences, and when the time comes, look at my gestures, I raise one finger and applaud, I give two fingers and applaud warmly, I give three fingers and applaud warmly for a long time. You can't let the film team interfere, and if you manage the lighting and sound amplification, you can arrange another person. Lao Zhu, you call to arrange for Liang Shangwu, Chen Xiaoyu, Yu Xiaochen, Dou Tingjin, Dou Qianjian, and Yue Ziying to go back to City D to visit relatives quickly. Zhang Yuan is already at home, Dongfang Hong and Jiang Xiaoyan also try their best to rush back, all the activities at the venue are guaranteed by them, and if it is really not good, you can still sit in the back row of the ** stage to deceive Lao Zhang. ”

The list listed by Dou Yuquan are all the children of the main leaders of the former Bump Mountain Division and the former Second Division, and most of them are now serving in the K Army. Liang Shangwu and Chen Mohan's son Chen Xiaoyu, Dou Yuquan's twin daughters Dou Tingjin and Dou Qianjin became soldiers in the late sixties, and now Chen Xiaoyu is already a company commander, Liang Shangwu is a staff officer in the regiment, Dou Tingjin is a military doctor in the Second Division Hospital, and Dou Qianjin is a technician in the Second Division Communication Battalion. Liang Shangwu's sister Dongfang Hong and Chen Xiaoyu's younger brother Yu Xiaochen and Zhang Yuanwei — whom she eventually chose to be named by her uncle Liang Bida — also joined the army in the early seventies. Yue Ziying is Zhu Zhudao's daughter, not long after the "*****" began, for various reasons, Yue Xiuying and Zhu Zhudao separated, and arbitrarily changed her daughter's name from Zhu Ziying to Yue Ziying.

Now, the old ones are old, the fallen ones are down, the ones are running, and there are still a few people on the stage, and they are also struggling to breathe, and the big action is that it is time to use these reserve forces.

However, Zhu Zhudao resolutely disagreed, saying: "The children themselves can't raise their heads anymore, everyone is busy drawing a line and making it clear, and it's too irrational to let them participate in this matter." ”

Dou Yuquan said: "Lao Zhu, you have figured it out, there are also my children here, and there are two." Who to draw the line with? Drawing a line with us people is revolution? Bastard logic. It's about letting them come and see what the movement has done. ”

Zhu Yudao still resisted, saying: "No, this is too risky, I can't be mentally ill because Lao Zhang is mentally ill, and I will also be mentally ill." It's just a joke. ”

Dou Yuquan said solemnly: "This is not a joke, this is to save comrades." Comrade Zhu Zhudao, let me tell you, you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't. Anyway, we are cadres who have stepped down, and those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and if you don't agree, I can also pull you down, and everyone will be a counter-revolutionary. ”

Zhu pre-said that he was angry: "What do you mean by this?" Threaten me? Don't forget, I also have five scars on my body. What am I afraid of? ”

Dou Yuquan sneered: "But you're okay and forget the scar hurts." ”

An Xuemei and Wang Chenghua saw that the two of them were arguing, and hurried to the mud. Wang Chenghua said: "Forget it, Lao Zhu also has his difficulties, Lao Dou, don't insist, don't spoil the big thing because of crazy words." ”

Dou Yuquan said with a gloomy face: "You guys are evasive, and I will negotiate with Deputy Army Commander Zhu, Acting Army Commander Zhu alone. ”

Wang Chenghua wanted to say something, but Dou Yuquan was impatient, waved his hand and said, "You go to the back room, and we will talk about work." ”

The women all withdrew.

Deadlocked. Confrontation.

"Old Dou, what do you want?"

"Without him, I want to borrow you—and our auditorium."

"Does it have to be?"

"It has to be so."

"Are you nervous too?"

"No, I'm sober. I soberly remind you that it is necessary to have a correct understanding of the situation. The mountains don't turn and the water doesn't turn. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Lao Zhu," Dou Yuquan stood up, raised his hands behind his back, paced twice, and looked at Zhu Pre-said, "Lao Zhu, we have worked together for more than 30 years, and today I will say a word to you from the bottom of my heart." For this movement, you are too deep. In the past 30 years, I have participated in various sports, and I have been rectified and rectified. My whole family is also right and wrong. However, the movement cannot go on forever, and after today, there will be tomorrow. I think that at the beginning, when you were in Bump Mountain, you and Liang Bida also died nine times, but you survived, but Li Wenbin died. How Li Wenbin was captured, God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. I don't know the heavens and the earth, or you know and I know. Lao Zhang is crazy and knows that success is king, defeat is a crime, today is high, maybe tomorrow will plummet. Everything has to be measured, and the experience of history is worth noting......"

Hearing these words, Zhu Yudao was drenched in cold sweat: "Old Dou...... You ......"

Dou Yuquan waved his hand and continued: "On the issue of treating comrades, you have disgraceful behavior...... Don't get excited, you can refute it when I'm done. Liang Bida and Chen Mohan were assigned, Zhang Pujing went crazy, and several division commanders and political commissars were scattered, at this time, you were the only one who was still showing off his might. You say, there are so many people who are making a revolution together, are you the only one who is the only representative of the correct line? The world's ridiculous. Take a sip of cold water and think about it calmly, these people have fallen, can you sit firmly? You're sitting on the crater, oh gay brother. Aren't you afraid that tomorrow will be a new movement, and you're not afraid that Liang Bida will make a comeback? This is by no means impossible. Why bother, instead of getting involved with Jiang Gubei to live this kind of life of rebellion and fear, it is better to farm lightly. Of course, I don't mean to ask you to pick a pick. You borrowed this auditorium today, and I promise with my 30 years of experience in struggle that I won't cause trouble. Let me put it a little more shallowly, borrow, you have done the most remarkable thing at the most difficult time for everyone, here in Zhang Pujing, in Liang Bida, in front of us old comrades, this matter is your accumulation. If you don't borrow, you are the enemy of all of us. I am fully mentally prepared to say these words today, you can sort it out and hand it over to Jiang Gubei, and see what he can do to me, I-it doesn't matter! ”

Zhu Zhudao's defense line completely collapsed. At this moment, he thought a lot, he thought of the moon in the bumpy mountain, saw a piece of blood, fire and gunsmoke, and heard the sound of gunfire in the middle of the night. After a long time, he raised his head, his eyes were confused: "Old Dou, you can arrange it, I'll ...... I do my best to protect. ”
