Zheng's mother nodded and said after listening to Zheng Zhendong's words.
"Hey, yes, the two brothers and sisters left, the children without a father and a mother, will have a hard time in the future.
Our family has to lend a hand no matter what, to help them get through this most difficult time, otherwise I will feel very unhappy!"
After hearing what Zheng's mother said, the mother and son reached a consensus and then continued to eat.
While mother and son were talking, Yi Zhonghai helped Mrs. Lin back to the backyard.
As soon as the two entered Lin's house, Yi Zhonghai couldn't wait to speak.
"Old lady, have you paid attention to what Zheng Zhendong said today? I always feel that this kid knows something!"
Old Mrs. Lin scolded Yi Zhonghai as if she had the pearls of wisdom in her possession.
"Don't panic, whenever there is a moment of calm in an important matter, now that He Daqing has run away, it is only a matter of time before Silly Zhu gets here.
As for the Dongzi of the Zheng family you mentioned, what he said today is just speculation, and he has no evidence.
But be careful lately and don't let him get a hold of you.
Since you have done some things, you should do them secretly and don’t make yourself known to the whole city!”
Hearing that there was something in Mrs. Lin's words, Yi Zhonghai was about to explain, but was interrupted by Mrs. Lin.
The two chatted for a long time before Yi Zhonghai came out of Mrs. Lin's house, returned to the middle courtyard, and went to He's and Jia's houses for a few looks before going back to his own home.
…
After breakfast the next morning, Zheng Zhendong waited for Xu Damao in the middle courtyard and went to school together.
After waiting for a long time but no one came, Zheng Zhendong went to Xu Damao's house in the backyard and shouted.
At this time, Xu's mother opened the door and said to Zheng Zhendong.
"Dongzi, my Damao is not feeling well today. Please go to school, ask the teacher for leave, and go to school when he feels better!"
Zheng Zhendong paid a few words of concern to Xu Damao, and when he saw that it was getting late, he hurried out the door and rushed to school.
When he arrived at school, Zheng Zhendong was going to go to the teacher's office first to ask for leave from Xu Damao.
When he arrived at the door, he knocked on the door and shouted a report. When he heard a call from inside to please come in, Zheng Zhendong opened the door and walked in.
Before Zheng Zhendong could speak, the head teacher, Teacher Wu, spoke first.
"Zheng Zhendong, you came just in time. I wanted to find you just now. Is there something wrong with you?"
"Hello, Teacher Wu. Xu Damao is not feeling well today. I'm here to ask for leave for him. Teacher Wu, do you have anything to do with me?" Zheng Zhendong said quickly.
Teacher Wu heard that Xu Damao was uncomfortable. He expressed concern for a few words and then spoke.
"That's right, Zheng Zhendong, the district organized representatives of middle school students in the district auditorium to listen to the reports of the heroes and models report group.
You are one of the middle school student representatives of our school. Vice Principal Lin will lead everyone to the district auditorium in a moment.
You can go directly to Vice Principal Lin’s door later and wait for everyone to gather!”
Hearing what Teacher Wu said, Zheng Zhendong knew that he could become a student representative, and Teacher Wu probably contributed a lot, so he quickly expressed his gratitude to Teacher Wu.
The two said a few more words, and Zheng Zhendong said goodbye to Teacher Wu and went to wait at the door of Vice Principal Lin.
At this time, more than 10 students were waiting at the door of Vice Principal Lin.
Zheng Zhendong walked up and chatted with a few familiar classmates.
About 10 minutes later, Vice Principal Lin opened the door and walked out with a list of names.
First, he called the names of the classmates in front of him, and then he spoke.
"Dear students, the main purpose of calling everyone here today is to go to the district auditorium to listen to the reports given by the heroes and models!
After everyone goes, be sure to observe discipline, listen carefully, and be polite to others.
After all, everyone represents the image of our Dongzhimen Middle School.
…”
Vice Principal Lin Luo Liba said a lot, and then he and two teachers rushed to the district auditorium with the students.
Everyone walked for almost an hour before arriving at the district auditorium.
When we arrived at the place, the comrades responsible for reception from the district committee, district government and education bureau had been waiting here for a long time.
Vice President Lin handed over the list of student representatives to the comrade in charge of reception.
The comrade in charge of the reception took the list and called the names again, and then let everyone enter the auditorium one after another.
Zheng Zhendong entered the auditorium and found that the auditorium was not prosperous, and could even be said to be simple.
There is a square table on the rostrum with an old-fashioned microphone on the table.
There are more than a dozen rows of benches under the stage, with three benches in a row. Each bench is about 3 meters long. The entire auditorium can accommodate about 200 people.
Zheng Zhendong and the others were arranged in the third row from the right front. The district leaders sat in the first row in front, and the teachers leading the teams from each school sat in the second row.
At about 9:30 in the morning, the host began to take the stage to announce the curtain.
The first model hero to take the stage to give a report was model Wu Wanli from the 7th Intermediate Company of the 9th Corps.
Listen to Wu Wanli talk about the battles at Changjin Lake and Shuimen Bridge, and the battle heroes who emerged one after another.
In the end, only Wu Wanli was left in the company, and everyone couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but think of a saying from later generations, "There are no quiet years, but there are people who carry the burden for you!"
Looking at Wu Wanli's young face on the stage, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but think of his eldest brother and second brother who were still on the battlefield on the peninsula.
I don't know what the two of them have been through, and I feel worried for them.
After Wu Wanli finished speaking and gave everyone a military salute, fierce applause broke out in the auditorium.
As the heroes and models stood on the stage and gave reports, Zheng Zhendong burst into tears in the audience.
Yes, it was this group of the cutest people who braved the wind and snow, endured hunger and cold, and shed blood and sacrifices, in exchange for decades of peace in future generations.
As the Chairman said, hit him with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. This is really a true insight!
We listened to the reports of the heroes and models until about 11:30, and the morning ended temporarily, and then the reception staff in the district arranged for everyone to go to the cafeteria for dinner.
In order to let everyone better experience the hardships of the Peninsula soldiers, the cafeteria specially prepared fried noodles and baked potatoes for everyone to eat.
Zheng Zhendong put the food into his mouth and tasted it. To be honest, it didn't taste very good.
According to the introduction from the hero and model just now, food like this is sometimes not fully available.
Our country has just been founded, its industrial level is low, and it is difficult to transport logistical materials.
Coupled with the fact that enemy planes are recklessly bombing our logistics transportation railways and roads, it makes the transportation of our army's supplies even more difficult.
Even so, the soldiers wore thin clothes and braved a cold wind of minus 40 degrees Celsius.
Sometimes I only eat one potato a day, a frozen potato to satisfy my hunger.
Still achieved great victories at Changjin Lake, Shuimen Bridge and other places, and defeated the Ugly Army's 1st Marine Division.
And in Xinxingli, they basically annihilated the Ugly Army Polar Bear Regiment and captured the opponent's military flag.
After this battle, not only did they drive the United Nations troops led by Chou to the south of the 38th parallel.
It also ended the ugly army commander-in-chief Mike and Arthur’s dream of ending the war before Thanksgiving.
