Chapter 18: Comrades-in-Arms
"Brother Su!"
As soon as the car arrived at the bluestone bridge, Yu Niansu hurriedly poked his head out and called out to Zhuang Su, who was standing under the ancient tree.
After more than 70 years, the hairy guy was already gray-haired, and Yu Shuigen became Yu Niansu, but Qingshui Bay is still the Clear Water Bay, the Clear Water Bay he is familiar with, and the Clear Water Bay that he dreams of.
Qingshuiwan Village is located at the foot of Daming Mountain, with an altitude of more than 500 meters. Because it is located in the mountain bay, and a pool of clear spring water flows out from the mountain behind the village all the year round, and flows into the water river around the village, so it is called Qingshui Bay.
Relying on its favorable geographical conditions and simple villagers, Qingshuiwan became a base for the guerrillas back then, where Yu Niansu and his comrades-in-arms fought against the enemy.
"Brother Mizune!"
Zhuang Su, who had been waiting under the ancient tree, ran over quickly and hugged Yu Niansu tightly.
Zhuang Su is bright and bright-eyed, energetic, and his tall and thin body has no fat, and he is as strong as a young man, if it weren't for his white hair and silver beard, outsiders would not be able to imagine that he was ninety years old.
"Brother Su, I didn't expect you to be so healthy!"
"The mountains of Clear Water Bay and the water of Clear Water Bay, as well as the blessings of the villagers of Clear Water Bay!"
"Brother Su, this is my wife and granddaughter. Xiaoqing, I've seen my grandfather's life-saving benefactor and brother who leads the way. ”
"Hello Grandpa Zhuang!"
Yu Qing stepped forward and bowed deeply to Zhuang Su.
"It's the county's leader Yu, right? Young and promising, I often see you on TV. ”
"Brother Su, Xiaoqing is your granddaughter, your junior, and the leader is just a position. She went to Shuizhou this time to take up a temporary post, mainly to do things for the people of Shuizhou, and to come to Qingshuiwan to receive your education. ”
"I have such a wonderful granddaughter, happy, happy! Brother Mizune, are you tired? Go home and take a break, or go straight to see your comrades? ”
"Of course, I went to see my comrades-in-arms first, I miss them day and night. Brother Su, I didn't expect that the road was repaired under the ancient trees, and it only took more than an hour to come from Shuizhou to Qingshui Bay. ”
"Yes, road construction is the first tough battle in the battle against poverty. Do you remember? In the past, when we went to Shuizhou, we had to walk all day over the mountains and mountains. ”
"It would be nice if my comrades-in-arms were still alive and could see such a good and happy life today."
"Brother Shuigen, I'm ashamed to say that, I stayed in Qingshuiwan all my life, and I was not able to lead the villagers on the road to prosperity."
"Brother Su, it is not easy for you to lead the villagers to solve the problem of food and clothing, and now through poverty alleviation, Qingshuiwan Village has finally gotten rid of poverty, we should be happy!"
"Brother Shuigen, how I hope that the villagers in Clear Water Bay can live the same life as people in the city."
"Brother Su, through the rural revitalization project, the villagers of Qingshuiwan Village will definitely be able to embark on the road of common prosperity and live a beautiful and happy new life."
The old comrades-in-arms had endless words to say when they reunited after a long absence, and the two old men walked in front hand in hand, heroic, as if they had returned to the fighting years of their youth.
Zhuang Yan and Yu Qing respectively supported their grandmothers, followed closely behind, and solemn fathers and mothers shouldered sacrifices and lined up with villagers to commemorate the martyrs.
"Comrades-in-arms, Brother Mizune is back to see you!"
"Dear comrades-in-arms, I miss you!"
Zhuang Su and Yu Shuigen stood in front of the martyr's tomb with tears in their eyes, and more than 30 comrades-in-arms who were born and died with them were buried here.
The martyr's tomb is located on a small hill in the northwest of Qingshuiwan Village, under the shade of green pines and cypresses, the red star on the monument is particularly dazzling.
"Comrades-in-arms, this is the medal just awarded, take a good look at it."
"Comrades-in-arms, if you are here, you should also receive such a medal."
The two old men took out the commemorative medal of "50 th Anniversary of Glory in the Party" and hung it on their chests, and saluted their comrades-in-arms who were buried in the ground.
"Sing a mountain song to the party,
I compare the party to my mother;
Mother gave birth to only my heart,
The party's brilliance shines on my heart......"
Lin Xi took the lead in singing, and Lin Qiaoyan and Huo Yan immediately reconciled.
Yu Qinghe solemnly, as well as everyone present, sang along.
The song resounded in front of the martyr's tomb, floating over Qingshui Bay, and drifting to the foot of Daming Mountain......
Xia Liang, a reporter from Shuizhou Rong Media who came together, was deeply affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and he took a video and uploaded it to the Internet, and the number of clicks exploded instantly.
"Solemn, the temperature in Qingshui Bay is much cooler than that in Shuizhou."
"Sister Qing, you still have to cover the quilt at night."
"Brother, please invite Leader Yu into the house for tea."
Coming down from the mountain, Lin Xi and the friends in the village were busy preparing meals, and when they saw Zhuang Zhuang accompanying Yu Qing over, they hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Good leader Yu!"
Lin Qiaoyan and Huo Yan bowed their heads and bent over, not even daring to come out.
"Hello, don't be so nervous, I'm just your sister Qing in Clear Water Bay. What are you busy with? I'll come along. Yu Qing smiled and went over and took Lin Xi's hand.
"Sister Qing, let's go to the field to cut vegetables, you are still at home."
"Lin Xi, are you afraid that I will wrestle?"
"Sister Qing, do you know me?"
"I came to your kindergarten to investigate, and you were in a demonstration class at that time, introducing Qingqing Qingshuiwan to the children, so I remembered you. There are also Huo Yan and Qiao Yan, you have performed well, work hard, and you will definitely become famous in the future. ”
"Sister Qing, do you know us too?"
"We will definitely work hard to live up to your expectations."
"How could I not know about the beautiful girl in Clear Water Bay? Qiaoyan, you don't want 'you', just call me Sister Qing like Lin Xi and Huoyan. ”
"Sister Qing is good."
Lin Xi, Lin Qiaoyan and Huo Yan didn't expect Yu Qing to be so approachable.
"Sister Qing, let's change your shoes."
solemnly came over and handed Yu Qing a pair of rain boots.
"Thank you, from today onwards, I will truly become a part of Clear Water Bay."
Yu Qing changed his shoes and happily went to the ground with the young people in Clear Water Bay.
"Sister Qing, the mountain in front of this is planted with the treasure of our village-sweet potato."
The sweet potato field in front of him proudly told Yu Qing solemnly.
Yu Qing saw that a neat and staggered sweet potato field stretched from his front to the foot of the mountain in the distance, connecting with the boundless green bamboo, full of greenery, dotted with various small flowers dotted with each other, showing its infinite vitality.
"Sweet potatoes bloom too?" Yu Qing couldn't help but lean down and pluck a purple sweet potato flower.
"Sister Qing, sweet potatoes not only bloom, but also colorful flowers, you see, there are pink, white, red, and lilac, etc., but they are beautiful."
"Sister Qing, the sweet potato flowers are beautiful but not bright, and they don't have a strong fragrance. You see, her trumpet-like low-key bloom among the branches, like a little star in the sky. ”
"Sister Qing, do you know what the flower language of sweet potato flowers is? [Plain is true] is the flower language of sweet potato flowers. ”
Huo Yan, Lin Xi, and Lin Qiaoyan introduced sweet potato flowers to Yu Qing while picking sweet potato flowers.
"It's true, this flower language is so apt. Hey, will it affect the growth of sweet potatoes if we pick so many sweet potato flowers? ”
Yu Qing's hands were already full of sweet potato flowers.
"Sister Qing, in order to avoid flowers and rhizomes competing for fertilizer, sweet potato flowers must be removed in time. However, the sweet potato flowers in our Clear Water Bay have a very short flowering period, and some years do not bloom at all, this year is a relatively prosperous year, I guess I know that you are coming, and they are specially opened for you. Solemnly explained to Yu Qing.
Yu Qing heard solemnly say this, and understood, and asked: "Is it true that if the sweet potato flowers bloom too vigorously, it will affect the yield of sweet potatoes?" Haven't I become a sinner? ”
"Sister Qing, sweet potato flowers blooming too vigorously will indeed affect the yield of sweet potatoes, as the old saying goes, [sweet potato blossoming husband and wife separate] is what it means, but that was before, and now it is different."
"What does it mean for sweet potatoes to blossom and husband and wife to separate families? What's different now? ”
