On January 31, 1949, not long after the New Year, the ancient city of Sijiu ushered in good news.

After several rounds of arduous negotiations, the city of Sijiu was declared to be liberated peacefully, and our red army entered the city to take over the defense.

Knock knock, this early in the morning, Jiang Yan hadn't gotten up yet, but there was a knock on his door.

"Who!" Jiang Yan asked at the door.

"Boss, hurry up, hurry up, if you go late, you won't be able to find a good spot."

Outside the door, He Yuzhu's voice sounded like a broken word.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Yan had a black line in his head, it had been discussed in the courtyard yesterday, and today I went to see the army enter the city, but what happened at dawn, are you so anxious?

Jiang Yan scolded He Yuzhu himself, but the speed in his hand did not slow down and put on the clothes that his grandmother had prepared.

When I pushed the door, I saw He Yuzhu and Xu Damao holding a small red flag in their hands, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

"Why just the two of you, them!"

"They haven't gotten up yet! The two of us will call you boss first. When He Yuzhu said this, he still looked at Jiang Yan with a face, as if he was coming to praise me.

Looking at the freshly polished sky outside, Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and said to He Yuzhu: "You two are really good to me. ”

"Silly Zhu go get me some washing water," Jiang Yan said, pointing to the tin kettle above the fireplace.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, He Yuzhu went to get it.

After freshening up, Jiang Yan's anger also disappeared by half, and he kicked Xu Damao and He Yuzhu each once, "Go and eat." ”

Seeing this, He Yuzhu opened his mouth and just glared at He Yuzhu about what he wanted to say, He Yuzhu shut up directly, and the two of them followed Jiang Yan to Grandma Lu's house for breakfast.

After breakfast, Jiang Yan helped Grandma Lu out of her house, Grandma Lu looked quite excited today, and deliberately dressed up, her silver hair was combed very neatly, and she was quite neatly cared for, and even her body was wearing the clothes that Jiang Yan specially made for him from Ruifuxiang before.

Originally, Jiang Yan thought that Grandma Lu was dressed very solemnly, but after arriving at the gate of the courtyard, he found that almost all the people in the courtyard who went to see the army entering the city were wearing new clothes and holding a small red flag in their hands.

On this day, the vanguard of the Red Army entered the city from the Xizhi Gate, Desheng Gate and Fuxing Gate of Sijiu City.

After entering the city, it was connected to the defense of the troops of the original national government.

At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, a large army with a neat appearance and a majestic atmosphere entered the city of Sijiu from Xizhimen.

At the head of the army were several cars, on which were placed portraits of great men, commanders-in-chief and prime ministers.

Jiang Yan squeezed into the crowd and waved the small flag in his hand desperately, his eyes blurred with tears, and his mouth said repeatedly in a voice that only he could hear, "This is a civilized army, a mighty army." ”

Now Jiang Yan can't wait to have a camera and take pictures of what he sees.

It has been several days since the army entered the city, and Jiang Yan has been busy outside with the courtyard and his group of little brothers in the past few days, volunteering to participate in the garbage clean-up work.

After the people's government began to take over Sijiu City, it began to clean up the garbage left in the city.

You must know that at this time, there were as many as 300,000 tons of garbage in the city. And that's not counting the garbage in the Forbidden City, where there are still 200,000 tons. Otherwise, how can this field jujube lead the child to pick up garbage for life.

What is the concept of more than 500,000 tons of garbage? To put it simply, the area of Beiping at that time was a little more than 700 square kilometers, with a population of nearly 2 million, and if 500,000 tons of garbage were to be apportioned, there were two catties of garbage per square meter of land, and each person had to carry 300 catties of garbage. It can be said that the people of Sijiu City at that time had been living in a huge garbage dump.

The garbage in these four or nine cities is not only large but also exists for a very long time, the earliest can be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as Jiang Yan came back for lunch that day, a military vehicle came from outside the courtyard, and the military vehicle stopped at the door of the courtyard, and several heavily armed people walked down from it.

When the people in the courtyard saw these soldiers with guns in their hands, they didn't know what was going on, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out one by one, and looked at these soldiers who came to the courtyard tremblingly.

Aren't you afraid? Their group of people, that is, these soldiers when the army entered the city, were not familiar with each other at all.

In a climate where everyone didn't know what to do, He Yuzhu ran out of the house, circled around the soldiers, and looked up and down curiously.

He Yuzhu's move scared the adults in the courtyard a lot. Especially He Daqing, he was even more frightened.

However, he naturally endured his fear and walked out, pulled He Yuzhu behind him, and hurriedly explained to the leader who came, "The military master is not sensible, not sensible, you adults have a lot, I don't know what the military master is doing this time, as long as we can do something, you just ask." ”

"Dad, you are calling it wrong, you shouldn't be called Master Jun, you should be called comrade." He Yuzhu hid behind He Daqing and spoke.

"This kid also knows that he is called comrade, who taught this." The instructor of our army touched He Yuzhu's head and said happily

In the past few days, He Yuzhu has been working outside with Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan has instilled in his ears the mighty division of the people's army and the division of civilization, and he naturally knows what to call it.

"My boss told me." He Yuzhu opened his mouth proudly.

"Who's your boss?" The instructor of our army asked again.

"My boss's name is Jiang Yan, let me tell you, my boss knows a lot, and he often finds us stories!"

"Do you know where your boss lives? Can you take me to meet this boss of yours? ”

"Yes, yes, the boss is in the backyard, I'll take you there." After speaking, He Yuzhu walked to the backyard with his little short legs and these soldiers.

As soon as a few soldiers left, everyone in the courtyard exploded.

"I knew this man was a troublemaker, and sooner or later what he was doing outside would be known to others, you see! It's not like someone is going to clean him up, and I don't know if it's going to bother us. This Jia Zhang was the first to speak.

Hearing Jia Zhang's words, someone immediately catered to him, "Yes, yes, I don't know if it will affect us." ”

"Boss open the door, someone is looking for you." Jiang Yan, who had just finished eating and was about to take a break, heard He Yuzhu's voice.

"Who's looking for me! If you dare to lie to me, be careful of your skin. I couldn't stop sleeping, Jiang Yan scolded and opened the door of his house.

When he saw the person behind He Yuzhu, he was stunned, and hurriedly said happily: "Company Commander Ma, why are you here." ”

The commander of the horse company was also very happy to see Jiang Yan, "Xiao Yan, your kid has grown taller again, and our troops have also entered the city, so our captain is worried about you sending me over to see you." ”

"Captain Hao! Didn't he come? Jiang Yan asked.

This horse company commander is the person from the previous advance team, and he is Hao Pingchuan's subordinate, except for Hao Pingchuan who took him to play in those days, this horse company commander took him the most, and the two were more familiar.

"Our captain has gone to study, but maybe he will also go to the city, I just don't know what time."

Hearing Company Commander Ma's words, Jiang Yan remembered that this "Glorious Era" had a story about Hao Pingchuan and Zheng Chaoyang learning, and it was estimated that he should work in the police station when he came back.
