Heiwa sold the house he bought in the county town when he married his wife, bought an old house with one courtyard and three courtyards in Xueren Lane, Xi'an City, and moved his wife Gao Yufeng to a provincial town far away from the county town. Heiwa did this
The intention is just for a psychological reason. He is in the county security corps, and his wife lives in the county town. There is only an alley across from his parents' home. Every move and sound he and his wife make will be transmitted to their parents' house in a short time.
It even spread among the soldiers of the artillery battalion; as the commander of the artillery battalion of the Security Regiment, the wife was in a dilemma in dealing with people in front of her mother's house. The slightest mistake would arouse the discussion among the citizens, saying that she was too high-minded to follow the battalion commander.
Hei Wa told his father-in-law about this idea, and Mr. Gao was reasonable: "It is better for relatives to make friends far away, and for neighbors to be good at building walls." Hei Wa and his wife Yufeng moved in.
On the first night when they entered Xueren Lane in the city, in a completely unfamiliar environment and among completely unfamiliar people, both Heiwa and Yufeng felt that all the thorns in the small county town of being stared at and noticed had shaken off. That night,
Yufeng lit the fire for the first time on the stove in her new home and fried four dishes. The two of them ate and drank on the small kang table. Heiwa said, "Guess what I'm thinking about right now?" Yufeng
Feng looked at Hei Wa's shining eyes and shook his head calmly. Hei Wa smiled humbly and said, "I want to be a teacher. I want to go to some remote village and become a teacher in a private school.
Those nose-mouth children enlightened that "human beings are originally good by nature"... I don't want to get involved in the same nest as the adults." Gao Yufeng was slightly surprised and said: "Mr. Zhu changed your temperament too." Hei Wa.
He shook his head and said, "It's not Mr. Zhu. I've never been able to cheer up since I came down from the mountain." Gao Yufeng looked at her husband and said nothing. Heiwa drank a glass of wine and said, "I've always had trouble with the farmers' association and others.
I rebelled against others, started riots and rebelled against others. Later I became a bandit and still rebelled against others. Now I have gone along with others and no longer rebelled against them. I feel unmotivated and can't raise my spirits... So I want to be a private school teacher." Gao Yufeng nodded.
He said: "Let's take a step first and see if the situation goes bad. I think it would be peaceful to quit and become a husband." Hei Wa sighed: "I'm tired and tired." After they fell asleep in their new home, Hei Wa hugged him tightly.
He hugged his gentle wife and said emotionally: "No matter how many friends I have who are brothers and sisters, you are still the most caring person."
Hei Wa returns to Xueren Lane every ten days and a half to be with his wife. When there is no urgent military service, he stays there for three to five days. Every time he returns to the city, he takes off his security regiment uniform and puts on a robe.
No one among the residents could figure out his true identity. That night, Heiwa returned home in high spirits, and his wife asked as usual: "What do you want to eat?" Heiwa said: "Water rice." His wife smiled in confusion.
: "But where are you going to dig for shepherd's purse in the dark right now?" Heiwa turned over a cloth bag and poured out a bunch of green shepherd's purse. Yufeng picked out a tender and raw shepherd's purse and drank it without rinsing it.
He stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, tilted his head and said shyly: "I have it." Heiwa picked up Yufeng after hearing this: "I didn't expect that these shepherd's purses were dug correctly."
Yufeng made water rice, with green shepherd's purse cooked in the thin rice grits. This was the meal used to spend the spring famine in February and March. Yufeng became tired of the oily smell after she was pregnant with the baby.
The sweet water rice that was not even seasoned with salt was so delicious that it made sweat break out on my forehead. Hei Wa also drank it very fragrantly, and there was a deep sense of nostalgia in the sweetness. When I was a child, every lunch in February and March
, almost all of them are rice and water with less porridge and more vegetables, which makes people feel dizzy when they see shepherd's purse. In the many years since he left Bailuyuan, he has never had the opportunity to drink rice with water. At noon, he was at Guguanyu Valley where the artillery camp was stationed.
While riding a horse, he looked at the green felt-like wheat fields and suddenly remembered the scene of digging shepherd's purses when he was a child. He tied his horse to a tree, dug up shepherd's purses in the wheat field, and hurried back to the city in the afternoon.
The baby drank one bowl after another and said with regret, "You chopped the vegetables too finely." The wife said, "That's how my mother cuts them." Hei Wa said, "You cook the food carefully in Chengchi County."
"The water rice made by my mother, the shepherd's purse doesn't need to be cut with a knife, just pick it up with chopsticks, which makes it more delicious." A knock on the door came, Hei Wa put down the bowl and walked to the door and asked: "Who?" came the message outside the door.
A familiar voice came: "Original Shangxiang Party." Hei Wa recognized Zhaopeng's voice and immediately opened the door: "How did you get here?" Zhaopeng walked in and said with a smile: "As long as you can't escape from the earth.
, I can find you."
Heiwa led Zhaopeng into the upper room of the Sanheyuan, and introduced to his wife who was standing at the table to greet the guests: "This is our brother Zhaopeng, who is a teacher in the city." Lu Zhaopeng looked at Heiwa and stared again.
Gao Yufeng said: "Don't coax her. I am a Communist." Gao Yufeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh my God, I saw a notice wanting you in the county when I was a child..." Lu Zhaopeng had no idea what happened many years ago.
If he was still interested, he looked at Hei Wa's rice bowl on the table and shouted happily: "Oh, give me a bowl of the shepherd's purse water rice you are eating. I'm so greedy." Gao Yufeng turned around and went to scoop it up. Lu Zhao
Peng took the bowl and picked up a bunch of green shepherd's purse and put it into his mouth: "There is nothing more delicious than shepherd's purse in the world." Heiwa said to his wife: "Get two vegetables and let my brother drink a cup."
." Lu Zhaopeng waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm about to get up and go on a long journey." Hei Wa said emotionally: "I can't invite you when I have a wedding. It's rare for you to come today.
Why don't you drink two cups?" Lu Zhaopeng said: "I really want to drink a glass of wedding wine from you, but time doesn't allow it." Hei Wa nodded knowingly: "You don't dare to be careless about the kind of thing you do. I am innocent of this. You
"Where are you going?" Lu Zhaopeng said: "Yan'an." Hei Wa opened his mouth in surprise but did not speak. His peaceful heart was churning, and he couldn't help asking: "You are leaving, so I dare to ask, what are you doing?"
Where have I been all these years?" Lu Zhaopeng smiled: "In Yuanyuan. I have never left our Bailuyuan. They can't catch me. The number of party members I have developed in Yuanyuan over the years is more than the number of people in your artillery camp."
Hei Wa smiled bitterly and said, "Our brothers have become two different people." Lu Zhaopeng put a hand on Hei Wa's shoulder: "Since we are brothers, we won't say such words. If you occupy the artillery battalion commander, who will occupy that position?"
Everyone is fine. If we need your help when the time comes, someone will come find you." He then took out a booklet from his pocket and gave it to Heiwa. Heiwa looked at the person printed on the cover.
His head was very blurry, and only the general outline could be seen. He exclaimed in surprise: "Mao" Lu Zhaopeng nodded: "Remember when we held a farmer's cooperative in Yuanyuan? At that time, we also held a farmer's cooperative in Hunan." Heiwa Jiujiu
He looked at the ink-printed portrait: "This is a book written by Mao." Lu Zhaopeng said: "You will understand when you look at it. The day of victory of the revolution is not far away, and the 'wind and snow' that swept away the Chinese reactionaries are really about to blow.
Get up." Heiwa was speechless again when he heard the words "wind stirs snow". Lu Zhaopeng said: "Just read it and give it to Mr. Zhu. I heard that the old man is in a bad mood now. Please tell me to go to the north.
He, I don't have time to see the old man." Hei Wa nodded and said that it can be done. Before Lu Zhaopeng left, he warned: "Be careful of our township party." Hei Wa understood that the township party was referring to Bai Xiaowen and said calmly:
"Don't worry." Lu Zhaopeng said goodbye and walked to the gate. He suddenly turned around and smacked his tongue to express regret: "Oh, brother Heiwa... How could you run back to where you were and kneel down in that ancestral hall?"
You..." Before Hei Wa could reply, Lu Zhaopeng had already turned around and walked out of the door into the alley.
An unprecedented profession of selling young men appeared in Bailuyuan. This kind of business that purely gambled on one's own life was derived from the National Government's large-scale conscription. The conscription law of one out of two men was soon abandoned, because the number of soldiers recruited in this way was
Far from being able to meet the government's need to expand the army, the conscripts were converted into young men's donations and distributed to each farmer. Regardless of whether you had young men or not, you would all pay young men's donations. Tian Fuxian used the huge amount of money collected
Then go buy young men. Any farmer who cannot pay the young men's donation on time will leave a pretext for defying the laws of the Republic of China. The security guards in the Tian Fuxian Joint Security Office can confidently arrest any man or woman in their family who is not a young man. The young men are everywhere.
He ran away and hid. The security guards of the joint security office inquired in many ways and hunted everywhere, but often returned without results. Tian Fuxian responded accordingly and came up with corresponding countermeasures: "Brothers, it is too laborious and tiring for you to catch here and there. It is too tiring for a strong man.
If a young man escapes, capture his father. If his father escapes, capture his mother. It doesn’t matter if it’s his father, his mother, his children, his sisters, even if it’s his father or his mother-in-law, catch one of them and take him to the police station, and see how he behaves.
This method of "come back or not come back" is very effective. As expected, many young men who escaped voluntarily went to the joint security office to replace the older mothers or grandmothers who were tied up, hung, drenched in the rain, and basked in the poisonous sun. Some of them gritted their teeth and sold their livestock.
The land was sold, and the young men's donations were automatically sent to the UN Security Office to redeem the hostages held... The only link between the government and the people was hatred.
The more than ten types of taxes levied by the Republic of China government in Bailuyuan were the largest in history. Those taxes were not one-time, but increased from once a year to twice or even three times a year; not to mention that ordinary farmers could not pay back even if they lost all their property.
, even wealthy farmers could not resist it. The common people no longer believed in the arguments about the necessity, urgency and legality of these taxes. From the initial private grudges to gatherings of people to publicly curse. Someone found a painting on the cross street of Bailu Town.
A hard-boiled egg with Tian Fuxian's appearance and name written on it, with steel needles stuck in his eyes, nose, mouth and ears, was quickly trampled into powder by people coming and going. The object of the curse was gradually upgraded from Tian Fuxian to the magistrate of Zishui County and
Yue Weishan, the county party secretary, suddenly rose to the top of China's supreme ruler. Once again, a hard-boiled egg with Chiang Kai-shek's face was found on the crossroads in the middle of the street in Bailu Town. His eyes, nose, mouth and ears were also pierced with steel sticks.
Needle……
The profession of selling young men came into being. The first young men who were drafted into the army did not think that fighting this war would be of any benefit to themselves, especially when they saw the zombie corpses of their companions, they deserted and returned to their original positions;
Some of them were captured by Tian Fuxian's guards and sent to the army after they returned. They already had experience in entering and leaving the army, and often looked for opportunities to escape on the way to the battlefield. After going back and forth, they had become proficient in this way, so they volunteered.
They sold themselves. They gave the cash they sold to their parents or wives and asked them to buy food. Then they walked into the joint security office and prepared to leave. It took ten and a half months at most, three to five days at least, and they didn't make a single fortune.
They lost money and reappeared in the village alleys. The more they sold, the better they became, and the more they sold, the more slippery they were, forcing the soldiers who escorted them to use ropes to tie them up one by one and take them to the battlefield. This is undoubtedly a more stupid measure to deceive oneself and others.
Soldiers with their arms tied cannot grab a gun and fight. Once the rope is untied, their freedom and opportunity to escape will come at the same time. A regime supported by soldiers tied with rope is undoubtedly the most brutal regime in the world, and it is also the weakest and most incompetent.
