The head of the security department, who was scolded bloody by Li Yunlong just now, was very dissatisfied but he didn't dare to talk back. He just added a star on his epaulets and became a colonel. He always wanted to make some achievements in his work. Zhi just got promoted and caught up with this big or small matter. A water pump is worthless, so it is not a big case, but such a big iron guy disappeared silently in the heavily guarded military headquarters. The problem is serious. Logically, since the perpetrators can get rid of such a heavy thing without anyone noticing, then the top-secret documents, guns and ammunition, including the heads of the No. 1 and No. 2 chiefs, are always easier to carry than the water pump, right? I feel scared after thinking about it. Could this be done by ordinary thieves? Therefore, the Director of Security's thinking was firmly fixed on political events. He said: Army commander, political commissar, this is definitely not an ordinary theft case, it is likely to be done by enemy agents, and it was done by internal and external cooperation. I plan to start with this first, first mobilize the files of all officers and staff in the military department, and go through it Sieve, and then find out the key points for a surprise review... Li Yunlong interrupted him unceremoniously: Enemy agents? Are the spies full of food? Struggling to steal a cheap water pump? According to your reasoning, is it because Chiang Kai-shek wants to water the vegetable garden and lacks a water pump? Steal it at the risk of your life and then send a warship to transport it back to Taiwan? What's wrong with your mind? It's a big thing to talk about politics, and you want to get everyone to pass the political review? I'm surprised that this team has such a group of bastards since the time of the Red Army. They can't fight their mother's battles, but they will punish their own people. You are considered a man if you are a soldier, don’t rely solely on making meritorious deeds, that is not following the right path... Seeing that Li Yunlong was furious, Sun Tai’an, the political commissar, talked more and more out of the circle, and quickly smoothed things over: “Old Li, after I see this incident Discuss again, let them go back first, don't we still have a meeting? After the head of security stepped down, Sun Tai'an said: "Old Li, why do you have to say something so clearly?" Especially for subordinates, just understand it in your heart. We are old partners. If I change people, I won’t talk about it. When the Soviet area killed the AB regiment, killed the Trotskyites, and Yan’an rectification, they were more ruthless to their own people than to the enemy. The atmosphere of democracy is not a day or two. You and I are big or small in this position. If we want to change this situation, there is nothing we can do. Let alone us, how about Boss Peng? In Jinggangshan, "I am the only General Peng", members of the Politburo, Minister of Defense, and Marshal are useless, and he has become an anti-Party element in just one sentence. If he is said to be anti-Party, only ghosts will believe him, but who dares to speak up? In the current situation... it's better to talk less, too many words... Li Yunlong sneered and said: As long as I, Li Yunlong, are in power for a day, there will be no bastards in my army who depend on killing people for food , whoever wants to punish people, just take off my military uniform and go away. It's nothing special. Anyway, my black hat is not big, so it's no pity to lose it. At worst, I go back to my hometown to farm. Sun Tai'an shook his head helplessly and said: You, this temper means that you have the honor of being able to fight. You are lucky to have the old chief guarding you, otherwise you will be angry with your temper, let alone being an army commander. After many years of sports, it would be nice if your brother survived, but have you ever thought about it? There will be no more battles in the future, how much are you worth? If you don't have a gatekeeper on your mouth, which old chief will protect you again? Fuck it, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, I can't change my temper, and I don't want to. Li Yunlong brought the guard Xiao Wu to the Liangshan unit's station. He quietly didn't disturb anyone, and walked into the vegetable garden with his hands behind his back. The vegetable garden was full of sweet potatoes. It seems that no one grows vegetables in the disaster year, they just take care of their stomachs If you are full, you can plant whatever has a short growth cycle and high yield. The sweet potato seedlings are growing well, they are green, and the ground is as wet as if it has just been watered. Li Yunlong looked around and found that the terrain of this vegetable field was relatively high, and there was a small river not far away. Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled. He asked Xiao Wu: Guess where the water for the vegetable garden came from? Xiao Wu said: The terrain of the vegetable field is high, and the water level of the river is low. To irrigate the field, we can only rely on manpower to carry water. Li Yunlong snorted: I don't believe that Duan Peng and Lin Han are so diligent, they can use all their strength to carry water? Let's look it up, if there is no name here, my surname is not Li. Xiao Wu walked to the end of the irrigation canal and found a square concrete pool, from which the water seemed to gush out. Li Yunlong said: Use your brain, there must be a spring under this pool, right? Xiao Wu said in confusion: Where did the water come from? Li Yunlong looked around and found that the terrain of this vegetable field was relatively high, and there was a small river not far away. Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled. He asked Xiao Wu: Guess where the water for the vegetable garden came from? Xiao Wu said: The terrain of the vegetable field is high, and the water level of the river is low. To irrigate the field, we can only rely on manpower to carry water. Li Yunlong snorted: I don't believe that Duan Peng and Lin Han are so diligent, they can use all their strength to carry water? Let's look it up, if there is no name here, my surname is not Li. Xiao Wu walked to the end of the irrigation canal and found a square concrete pool, from which the water seemed to gush out. Li Yunlong said: Use your brain, there must be a spring under this pool, right? Xiao Wu said in confusion: Where did the water come from? Li Yunlong looked around and found that the terrain of this vegetable field was relatively high, and there was a small river not far away. Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled. He asked Xiao Wu: Guess where the water for the vegetable garden came from? Xiao Wu said: The terrain of the vegetable field is high, and the water level of the river is low.

Li Yunlong said: Use your brain, there must be a spring under this pool, right? Xiao Wu said in confusion: Where did the water come from?
You idiot, you just don't use your brain, the water is drawn from elsewhere, and there is a hidden pipe buried under the pool. When they came to the small river, they found a brick hut standing alone by the river. At first glance, there was nothing special about it. It seemed that the keeper of the vegetable garden lived. The door of the hut was locked, and the windows were sealed with thin wooden boards, so that people outside could not see what was inside.
If you take a closer look, there are some tricks. The steep slope on the side of the hut near the river was empty, and the river flowed directly under the hut. It was impossible to see what was under the hut, because some broken wooden boards were nailed messily outside to block people's sight. Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Look, Duan Peng's fox tail is hidden here." Xiao Wu said: Oh, I see. This is a pump house. The river water is pumped into the hidden pipe from under the hut, and then gushes out of the pool through the hidden pipe, as if there is a natural spring in the pool. Li Yunlong sneered and said: The disguise is good, even the power lines are buried in the ground, Duan Peng and Lin Han are a pair of bastards, they would rather spend so much effort to steal water pumps and bury underground drains to make a disguise, than bother to carry water to irrigate the ground. Xiao Wu said with admiration: "He still has a good brain, like me with an elm bumpy head, I can't think of this trick even if I die, so I can only carry water with all my strength." Duan Peng and Lin Han are leading the soldiers to train on the beach. The training subject is to grab knives with bare hands. The soldiers are in groups of two, standing in the chest-deep sea water and splashing water everywhere, except that the dagger is a fake knife made of rubber. Other than that, the rest were kicks and fights, without even wearing protective gear. Some fought from shallow water to deep water, and fought inextricably underwater. Nose, one is walking with a limp, cursing uncleanly: Fuck, your fucking hands are so black, where are they so soft, where are you going to hit... The one who took advantage of it was very humble: No Sorry, sorry, there is no way, who made our fists too hard. Seeing Li Yunlong coming, Duan Peng and Lin Han hurried over to salute. Li Yunlong said with a sullen face: "Your team's side business is doing well." These two guys are such smart people, they immediately guessed the reason for Li Yunlong's visit. If other chiefs came, even the political commissar Sun Tai'an, they would dare to pretend to be stupid and pretend to be stupid, but lying to Li Yunlong is a bit meaningless It's not that they dare not, but that they respect the commander very much. Duan Pengxin said bluntly: No. 1, I did the thing, and you have the final say on what to do. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Li Yunlong pretended to be confused: what did you do? I stopped by to watch your training. Duan Peng smiled wryly and said: You came here in person, it must be because of the water pump. The little disguise I made can deceive others but not you, Commander. Li Yunlong secretly praised this extremely smart guy, his brain reacted too quickly, he could immediately judge your reason for coming and the degree of your mastery in just the blink of an eye, and then simply admit it, never going around in circles. Li Yunlong said: "Okay, I'm happy, then I won't go around with you. Now that you have talked about it, let me tell you the reason why you stole the water pump. If you can convince me, you can keep the water pump. I will never pursue it. If you say If you can’t convince me, then I’m sorry, the water pump must be returned to its original owner. As for you, at least it’s a major demerit. Lin Han said: No. 1, you seem to have found the wrong partner. I did it. Does Duan Peng have this ability? He will brag, thinking that this is something to show his face, insisting that he did it, so that he can brag with others in the future. Li Yunlong's face darkened: Don't worry about this. A sub-team leader and a political commissar can't run away if they want to be punished. Duan Peng said with a dignified look: The reason is very simple, the brothers are not getting enough to eat, which has affected the training, and the physical fitness is getting worse day by day. There are no soldiers in our unit, all of them are officers, and the youngest rank is a second lieutenant. You know, the ration standard for officers has been reduced to 27 catties per month, minus 5 catties to support the national treasury, and 1 catty to support the disaster area, leaving only 21 catties . The country is in trouble, and we need to tighten our belts. We have nothing to say, just save food. But since last year, more and more family members have come to visit relatives. In fact,What kind of family visits are there? They are all hungry in their hometown and come to our team for help. Some families come with seven or eight members, and they don’t plan to leave after staying. Who has no relatives? Do we have the nerve to watch people go hungry? But with this little food, even if I eat my own ration, it is only 7 taels a day, not to mention there are so many family members. As a military chief, I have no right to stop the training subjects prescribed by the unit, but to be honest, we can no longer do it Intensive training, many brothers fainted on the training ground. Since the beginning of this year, I have stopped the daily five-kilometer cross-country physical training. I don’t know how long this situation will continue. I want to let brothers Let's save some energy and reduce consumption as much as possible. In two months, the sweet potatoes we planted will come down, and the situation will be better by then. Without this water pump, we would have to carry water to irrigate the fields, but the brothers really don't have the physical strength. Besides, several water pumps were left unused in the logistics department. I went to ask for them, but they refused to give them. They would rather let the water pumps idle in the warehouse. As the saying goes: three asks are worse than one steal. I just stole it, but I don't intend to review it, nor do I intend to admit my mistake, because although my methods are not so... formal, the reasons are very sufficient. As for the punishment, I have not considered it, because it is not my business, it should be It's up to you to think about it. Li Yunlong was silent. Several special forces with the rank of lieutenant squeezed over and said to Li Yunlong: No. 1, you might as well give our detachment a collective punishment. Owe no one.
Yes, that's a good idea. If it doesn't work, the collective first-class merit will be exempted, and then there will be a collective demerit penalty. It doesn't matter if we suffer a little bit. Anyway, we can’t let the team leader and political commissar do it by themselves. It’s everyone’s job. Everyone in the team has a share. If only the team leader and political commissar are punished, we’ll all become cowards. Duan Peng lowered his face and narrowed his eyes, saying:
What are you doing? What are you doing? What's the matter with booing? How do you talk to number 1? Are there any rules? Get out of here. The players muttered unconvinced and dispersed. Li Yunlong said with some difficulty: With so many family members coming to the team, have you run out of food for a long time...Lin Han said: You can make do with eating with wild vegetables. No. 1, don’t worry about it, it’s not a matter of any unit , people all over the country are starving, and the army still has food rations, but the countryside is miserable.
Lin Han's voice was low. Is the situation in the countryside really that bad? What have you all heard? Li Yunlong asked. Duan Peng and Lin Han, the two tough guys, were in tears. Duan Peng said: The situation is worse than expected. Last month, a letter came from my hometown saying that my old mother was starving to death and my father was dying too. Old Lin's family is in Wuwei, Gansu, and they were poor in good years, let alone now, his two brothers starved to death, and his parents were lucky to have died early, otherwise... Lin Han wiped his tears and said: There is an officer in our team , whose family is in Xinyang, Henan, where the disaster was the heaviest. The whole village starved to death. The province sent militias to seal off the intersection and forbid them to go out to beg for food. None of the dozen or so members of his family survived. After he heard about it, he didn't want to live anymore. He put a pistol on his forehead and tried to fire him, but others found out and stopped him, and he was afraid that something happened to him again, so he had to be locked up in a confinement room. On the 1st, as a political commissar, I should do ideological work, but I don't know what to say. A dozen people in the family starved to death. If I explain the truth to them, isn't it just scolding? Besides, I am also confused, what is going on in our country? Didn't you just finish the Great Leap Forward? There is so much steel smelted that surpasses even the United Kingdom, and tens of thousands of catties of grain can be harvested per mu of land. I heard that the central government leaders are worried about what to do with too much grain. Li Yunlong felt dizzy for a while, and suddenly trembled violently all over. He tried to calm himself down, and interrupted Lin Han sharply: Don't say it, remember, don't say this kind of thing to anyone in the future. I'll figure out a solution for the food issue, there will always be a solution. Hey, let me say hello to the logistics department. Even if the water pump is distributed to your team, remember, it’s not an example. No matter what the reason is, stealing is wrong. You should review it and resolutely stop it in the future. Don't steal it to the bank? Thank you, Commander, we have washed our hands in the golden basin, and we will be good citizens from now on. Duan Peng replied. Li Yunlong walked a few steps and thought of something, he turned around and asked: That water pump is a very cumbersome thing, how did you get it out?
Just as Duan Peng was about to answer, Li Yunlong waved his hand again and said: Forget it, don't talk about it, I thought of you as soon as I heard about it, who else has this ability except you? Conversely, if you don't even have this ability, do you dare to call it a special unit?
When Li Yunlong returned home, he saw Tian Yu coming down the stairs, so he immediately asked, "How much money is left at home?" Tian Yu replied casually: It seems that there are more than two thousand yuan, what do you want to buy? Li Yunlong was taken aback when he heard this: How come there is so much money? weBecome a rich man? Tian Yu said: I didn't save money on purpose. I put my monthly salary in a drawer, and I didn't save the rest after deducting expenses. The country started to implement the salary system in 1955. According to Li Yunlong's level plus various subsidies, there are nearly 300 yuan. There are few children in the family, so there is no burden, and two people get wages, so there is more savings. Li Yunlong is a person who is used to the supply system. He has a vague concept of money. He thinks that it is enough to have food, clothing, wine, and cigarettes. What is the use of money? Generals at the same level as Li Yunlong did not have as much money as him. At that time, the state encouraged having more children, and every family had at least four or five children. Although the salary was high, there was not much savings. Li Yunlong became excited: Ha, I didn't expect that we became rich people in a daze. It seems that getting rich is still very easy. Give me all the money. When Tian Yu figured out that Li Yunlong was going to the market to buy some food for the Liangshan team. She immediately issued a warning: First, food is purchased and sold by the state, and it is illegal for individuals to buy and sell. Second, it is impossible to sell food in the market, only the black market, which is also illegal. Third, the military has expressly stipulated that all active-duty soldiers are not allowed to snap up food, non-staple food and daily necessities in local markets. If there were no such regulations, I would have bought them earlier, and the children would be starving. After being reminded by Tian Yu, Li Yunlong vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a rule, and he hesitated. Secretary Zheng came to report to Li Yunlong, and saw that the army commander was scratching his head and scratching his head, unable to think of a way out. He asked what was the matter, and as soon as he turned his head, an idea came to him. One sentence made Li Yunlong Mao Sai suddenly realized, and he said: "Commander, this regulation is only limited to active soldiers. As for the difference between the black market and the market, it is even more difficult to distinguish." , only the industrial and commercial departments have the right to ask whether the products sold by the sellers are legal. Ordinary people have no right and no obligation to check the legality of general products. Cadres are another matter.
Li Yunlong suddenly opened his eyes: yes, yes, why did I lose my head? Isn't Mama Zhang a commoner? How much money do you have in your pocket to buy something to eat when you are hungry? Which law is violated? In this way, the money will be sent to Mrs. Zhang as wages. It is their freedom to buy food if they want to. Can we manage it? Secretary Zheng, you have to testify to me, this is not my violation of the rules. Zheng Bo smiled slightly: No problem, I am a witness. Then who can control what I give to others? I can give it to whomever I like, right? Of course, mutual gifts between citizens are protected by law, this is your freedom. Okay, tell Duan Peng to send a few people to change into plain clothes to help Mama Zhang carry things, to help the people work, but there is one thing, Mama Zhang bought back not less than a catty, and all of them will be carried back. If you encounter a nosy Well...let this kid figure it out by himself, you can't learn grappling and wrestling for nothing, I don't know anything anyway... food in the calamity year is basically worthless, whatever you want, you can buy it or not. Two thousand yuan bought back more than 500 catties of cornmeal, which was more than 4 yuan per catty.
Tian Yu said, "Mum Zhang, you didn't even bargain with him?" Even in a disaster year, it is expensive enough. Li Yunlong was very satisfied, he said cheerfully: "Mother Zhang, don't listen to her, it's not expensive at all, what is money?" It's paper, and it's hard to eat or drink in a drawer, but food is a real thing that can save lives. For this little food, a fierce quarrel broke out between Li Yunlong and his wife. After the food was bought back, Li Yunlong ordered people to transport all the food to the Liangshan team, leaving nothing at his home. Tian Yu knew the importance of the Liangshan team in Li Yunlong's heart, and she also understood that her husband used all his savings to buy food. The problem is that the two thousand yuan is not a decimal, and the money was spent.Satisfied, it's not that Li Yunlong doesn't know that this family is also starving. Even if the adults don't eat, it's not too much to leave some food for the children. This is good, the money is gone, and the food is gone. Li Yunlong didn't even intend to discuss it with his wife, as if this matter had nothing to do with Tian Yu, which was too much. When Tian Yu said this very euphemistically just now, Li Yunlong jumped up when he heard it, and said angrily: "It's military rations, and no one can touch it. If you move it, you will be corrupt. During the war, who would dare to embezzle the military rations?" No further words, shoot! I said why your consciousness is getting lower and lower? Even worse than ordinary people? Tian Yu felt greatly insulted, and she also yelled angrily: "I bought it with my own money, why did it become military rations?" I want to keep some for my children, how could it be corruption? Why are you so unreasonable? Li Yunlong retorted tit for tat: Your money? Can you make money? Can you make one for me? Where did you get your money from? Well, it is issued by the state. It is only right and proper for the money issued by the state to be used on the state. Tian Yu was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, because Li Yunlong's thinking logic was extremely chaotic, and he even messed around. According to his logic, Tian Yu was equivalent to spending money to buy the hat of a corrupt criminal. She restrained herself as much as possible, softened her voice, and said patiently: "Old Li, let's stop arguing, shall we?" We adults can make do with it, but the children can’t go hungry, you see Xiaojian is so thin, he is growing up, and Mama Zhang, she still has to work every day.
Li Yunlong is not accommodating: the children can't be special, the whole country is starving, it doesn't matter to let the children suffer a little bit, otherwise they will become the embryos of young masters, who told them not to be born in rich landlords? When I am Li Yunlong’s son, I have to learn to endure hardships. Zhang’s mother is my own family. I didn’t treat her as an outsider. As I said, a family shares blessings and hardships. As much as I have, she will be as much as she is, and there will be none. They are all hungry. Tian Yu couldn't control it anymore, she felt the blood rushing into her head, and shouted desperately: You are such a cold-blooded animal, I really regret that I was blind and married you, a heartless person... ...Li Yunlong was also enraged, he roared: How dare you curse? Can you say that again? He raised his hand abruptly, hesitated for a moment, then changed his mind, grabbed a teacup and smashed it on the floor, he growled, "Get out of here..." Tian Yu said coldly: "Okay, You finally said this sentence. This house is allocated to the general by the state. Of course I don’t have the qualifications. It seems that I should leave. She turned and went upstairs to pack her clothes. Li Yunlong sat slumped on the sofa, panting heavily, he just ignored it in a fit of anger, dared to say anything ugly, but regretted it as soon as he said it, what he said was a bit too much. Zhang's mother came over and whispered to him: Chief, you said that we are a family, if you didn't treat me as an outsider, my wife would say a few words about you. Li Yunlong nodded and said: Zhang Ma, of course you can speak, I'll listen. You are a big man, you shouldn't be in charge of family life, and we haven't told you, you don't know that our family is about to break down, do you know how much Xiaotian eats every day? I don't even have a few ounces, I want to leave a few more for my children, where can I find such a daughter-in-law? Are you still hurting people? Do you know? Your daughter-in-law is starving to the bone, she has lost her menstruation, she is only in her 30s, such a good daughter-in-law should be worshiped like a Bodhisattva, why do you open your mouth to curse and drive her away...
... Li Yunlong was trained to hang his head and keep silent, letting Zhang Mama scold him. Tian Yu packed her clothes and went downstairs with her travel bag. She changed into a new military uniform, wearing a military cap, with long wavy hair pouring down her shoulders from under the military cap, and a three-star captain's rank reminder on her shoulders. Looking at Li Yunlong, she is not only a wife, but also an officer. Li Yunlong seems to have never apologized to anyone at such a young age. He opened his mouth with difficulty, but he didn't say anything... Tian Yu said to Zhang Ma: Zhang Mom, I'll tell you when I settle down, I'm leaving, bye! After speaking, he walked out the door without even looking at Li Yunlong. stop! Li Yunlong yelled ten times, he jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the door to block the door, Tian Yu stopped, stared at him coldly and said: Please get out of the way. Li Yunlong blocked the door stubbornly and said: You can't leave. Why? Tian Yu asked. Because... I seem to have made a mistake just now, and I didn't know what I said in a daze. Did I say something wrong? I can't seem to remember. No, you didn't say the wrong thing, you just told me to get out, this is not a wrong word, am I going to get out? No, you must have misremembered, I never said that, how could I say such stupid things? Mom, did I say that? You can see that the old man didn't hear her, so you must have remembered it wrong. Come, come, sit down first, listen to me, if you want to leave, don't care about the time, listen to me before leaving, I will never stop you, okay? Okay, I'm all ears, please speak. Tian Yu sat down. Li Yunlong was sitting upright, looking very tired and heavy, he said bluntly: I said something wrong just now, I take it back, now I apologize to you, please forgive me.
Living in the same room, bumping the spoon against the edge of the pot is unavoidable. If you are angry for a while, you can’t take it seriously. If you are still angry, you can scold me in a while, and I won’t talk back. Now I want to talk to you It's another matter. Recently, I often think about the past, and I remember many things from the past, big and small things, old sesame seeds and rotten millet, I think about it, and when I think about the past, it doesn’t matter, I can’t stand it, I’m so nervous, I can’t even sleep. I think of the Battle of Huaihai, how the battle was fought at that time, how the marching route was taken, how each battle was commanded, which battle was fought first and which battle was behind, hey, I can’t remember, I just remember that the battle was fought It's tough, but the food is very good, hey, rice noodles, pork stewed vermicelli, eat whatever you want, just thinking about it makes your mouth water. Thinking about it again, I feel wrong. It seems that there is something particularly impressive that I haven’t remembered yet. Well, why did I eat so well at that time? Huaye and Nakano have a combined army of 600,000. How many pork stewed vermicelli do they eat in a day? This means that the logistics support work was done very well at that time. There were many yellow-flooded areas on the Huaihai Plain, and the yellow mud soup had no knees. Let alone growing crops, walking was a problem. There are so many troops, so where did so much rice, flour and pork come from? It was transported from the old liberated areas of Henan, Shandong, and Hebei, and it was pushed by more than one million ex-migrant workers in wheelbarrows. I stood on the embankment of the Longhai Line and looked around. Good guy, the roads and fields on both sides of the railway are all over the mountains and plains, and there are endless teams of troops in front of them. Now, the sound of thousands of unicycles creaking like a tsunami, I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life, it seems that the carts are pushed by the family as a unit, with the husband pushing the cart and the daughter-in-law pulling it in front, There is an old man holding the handlebars, and a big girl is pushing it. When I am hungry, I gnaw hard buns, and when I am thirsty, I drink water from the ditch on the roadside. Shoes and boxes of ammunition were pushed to the front line in this way. I watched that scene, and my heart was blocked.
The enemy planes flew over and dropped bombs and strafed, and the migrant workers could only lie down on the spot. The bare plains had no shelter at all. Where did you hide? Who counts who counts, the enemy plane left, and the flow of people continued to move forward. I saw with my own eyes a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy whose head was knocked off half of his head by a bullet. I took off the dirty hand towel that was so dirty that I couldn't see the color, and desperately wiped the blood of the child. The hand towel was stained red. The villagers around said that this old man is just such a single seedling, which is a single heir for three generations. My nose became sore when I heard it, and I didn’t know what to say at the time. While I told the soldiers to bury the corpse, I supported the old man and said: “Old man, the kindness of the common people to our team, we will never be clear in this life. Report, what we can do is to fight hard, to overthrow the rule of the Kuomintang, and to establish a new China. Let our common people have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and live a good life. The old man wiped away his tears and said: Chief, a family does not talk about two things, the common people are our team, and who is our team for? This is our own team, we don't care who is in charge? Chief, let your brothers build a grave for my baby, and I will bring my baby home after delivering the rations. Commander, I won't stay here any longer. I'm waiting for food, so I have to rush to the team. After the old man finished talking, he picked up the handlebars and wanted to leave. After listening to the old man's words, I couldn't bear it anymore, and tears flowed down my face. At that time, the third regiment of our division was passing the marching column on the side road. I ordered the troops to stop advancing. I took the old man's hand and shouted to the soldiers, comrades, this old man's only son has just died. He came from our old district. Come on, after traveling thousands of miles, the only son died, and the old man still insisted on sending the military rations to the front line. Comrades, this is our people. The debt our team owes to the people is endless: Comrades, no matter where you go in the future, no matter how high an official you become in the future, you must remember today, remember This old man, remember to repay your kindness to the people! Comrades, our team is a team of iron, our soldiers are men of iron, we are not afraid of the sky, we are not afraid of the earth, we don’t respect the heaven and the earth, we don’t respect the ghosts and gods, our knees have never been soft, but we respect the people from above, respect our parents from below, If you want to kneel, kneel to the people and to your parents. Listen to my password now, the whole regiment kneels down, and asks the old man to be bowed by all the commanders and fighters of our three regiments. After speaking, he knelt down first. The third regiment was a strengthened regiment with more than 5,000 people. Five thousand people, five-foot-tall men stood black like a forest. With a command, more than 5,000 men pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillars and fell to their knees. That scene, I will never forget it for the rest of my life... Li Yunlong said so emotionally, he felt hot all over his body, and the depression of many days was stagnated in his chest. Spitting quickly, he ruthlessly tore off the collar of his civilian uniform, Make an effort to calm your emotions. Hey, I’ve been suffering from insomnia recently, thinking about it, and thinking about it, I have a headache, I, Li Yunlong, have no culture, I don’t understand this doctrine or theory, and I’m not interested in understanding it, but I only believe in one principle, that is, no matter what doctrine, you have to Let the common people have enough food, clothing and warmth to live a good life, otherwise the bullshit is worthless, and I don't believe it if you say it's broken. What were the bases of the Red Army back then? Jinggangshan, Ruijin, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan and Shaanxi. Why build bases in these areas? Why not in Shanghai or Peiping? Just because these areas bordering several provinces are poor and the enemy’s rule is relatively weak, if people are poor, it’s easy to revolutionize and rebel. What are you doing with your head on your waistband? In fact, at that time, the party never talked about doctrines or advanced theories to the illiterate peasants. When the Central Soviet Area was established, the slogan to mobilize the peasants was very simple, "Down with the local tyrants and evil gentry, eat sweet potatoes." You see, how simple it is, just eat sweet potatoes. During the War of Liberation, the reason for mobilizing peasants to join the army was also very simple. The land reform had just finished dividing the land, and the Kuomintang wanted to take your land away. What should we do? join the army, defend The Fruits of Victory. To put it bluntly, the hope of the common people is to be able to cultivate their own land and live a good life, so the requirements are not high. The question is that the people have made great sacrifices to help us gain political power. Have we fulfilled our original promise? Are the people living a good life? That's why I'm restless and can't sleep.
I feel ashamed in my heart, I feel so ashamed that my face is hot, mother, I am tossing about, I have a good life, but I have to toss about it, the Great Leap Forward, steelmaking, surpassing the UK in fifteen years, producing hundreds of thousands of catties of grain per mu , There is too much food to worry about, and there is no place to worry about it, shit, go to hell. If you have the ability to toss, you must have the ability to be responsible, and wipe your own ass. Ding Wei is right. If I had known this, I should not have been in the Red Army back then. After fighting for so many years, the common people paid so much, and finally liberated, shouldn't they repay the common people well? In the past few days, I have been walking around the various regiments below. I don’t see any cadres. I only see soldiers, chatting with soldiers. many people. Where are the most dead? The old district, the old district that raised us and helped us back then. Eleven years after liberation, not only did the people in the old areas not live a good life, but a large number of them starved to death... Li Yunlong choked up, big tears rolled down, he wiped away the tears fiercely, but the tears kept flowing down. Tian Yu was greatly shocked, and Li Yunlong's tears were precious, and they were not easy to shed, but once they flowed, they would often break people's hearts. In the huge shock, Tian Yu suddenly felt that it was impossible for her to leave this man. She didn't even think about it. Once she lost him, half of her life would also go with her. She has lived with this man for more than ten years. , How much do you really know about him? She held her husband's hand tightly and burst into tears: Please forgive me, I shouldn't quarrel with you, you are under too much pressure, please speak out what is in your heart, I am listening, I It's your wife... She finally cried. What a pity, it's a pity, some villages in Xinyang, Henan Province have become dead villages, and the whole village has been starved to death. Some village party secretary took the whole village to go out to beg for food, and the provincial government sent people to block the intersection to prevent them from going out to beg for food, saying that it was discrediting socialism, and the whole village was starved to death. Who gave the order? You should really investigate and investigate. This kind of person's conscience is already blackened, how can he become an official? If I had been there, I would have risked my life, pulled out the gun first and shot his son of a bitch. A soldier in the Liangshan unit, except for him, a dozen members of his family were starved to death, he didn't want to live anymore, he drew his gun and wanted to commit suicide, I went to the confinement room to release him and said, why did you hit him on the head? You should hit me, the country has become like this, we officials all have a share, and no one can escape responsibility. I, Li Yunlong, should be killed. Who made me timid to speak? who Make me afraid of taking off the black hat? I'm a bastard's weakling, a coward, and it's because I have too many weaklings like me that the country has become like this. I slapped the bullet on the top of the pistol on the table and said, if you want to be angry, shoot me in the head. Who made me the supreme commander of this army? I'm sorry for the people, I'm sorry for the common people, it's what you deserve to eat a peanut on your head, and you deserve it. If you have a wronged person, you have a debtor. If you hit yourself on the head, it is wrong. If you die, you will be a wronged person. What I want to say now is, please forgive me once, or forgive me once, so that I will have a longer memory in the future, do more good things for the common people, and make meritorious deeds. If you say you want to forgive me, look after me It doesn't work, but when I go out, you have to hit yourself on the head again, which is boring. First of all, you don't count words, you are not a man. Second, it is not a gentleman not to repay a grudge. If you are angry with me, you should beat me. If you dare not beat your enemy, you will beat yourself. This is not a man, and I will look down on you. In this way, he promised not to die, and promised to keep his word. Only then did I dare to leave. Alas, the more I think about it, the more shameless I become. I, Li Yunlong, have never been a coward on the battlefield. Why do I become more cowardly as I live? In the past, I always thought that I was a man anyway, but now that I think about it, I'm a shit, a softie. Who is the hero? Who is the tough guy? It's Boss Peng, Ding Wei, and your father, Mr. Tian. I, Li Yunlong, are a rough man with a late brain. I offended Mr. Tian, but I'm not stupid. I made mistakes before, and I can't make mistakes in the future. I want to live by my conscience. The great kindness and virtue of the common people, others forget, I do not forget, others do not repay, I repay. Tian Yu embraced her husband with both arms, and gently pressed her cheek against his chest. The healthy and powerful heart was beating like a drum, full of vitality. She thought silently, how long can this heart beat? I hope it will last longer, when it stops beating, is it still necessary for my heart to be beating?
