This is a dusty past for more than half a century, if it is not repaired to the house, by chance to discover it, perhaps it will be forever dusty. Become a smoke cloud. It is a witness to history, and it is also a true witness of "blood is thicker than water". History will not forget, and the country will not forget those poor people who risked their lives to help and support the Red Army; the people will not forget the martyrs and pioneers who threw their heads and spilled their blood for the founding of New China.
Maybe it's just an accident, maybe it's an accident, always so deliberately or inadvertently, it's just such a coincidence. A bullet casing, but hidden "mystery", a wrinkled "IOU", some people throw it casually; some people have offered a "high price" to collect it, and some people have suggested that it be handed over to the government for handling. He, on the other hand, chose to "give". This is the inheritance of the family way, but also the refraction of Chinese civilization.
1934 was destined to be an unusual year. This year, too many incredible things have happened. In the first month, the rare "tengu eats the moon" was discovered, and soon after, a "sun halo" spectacle occurred. Old people, experienced old people in the village, said that this was not a good sign. Sure enough, during the year, there was a severe drought, the grain harvest was not harvested, and the peasants' lives were extremely difficult.
In order to survive the famine, many people went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and eat wild fruits, and Xiang Xiaocui's family was no exception. Some people eat better than starving to death, Xiang Xiaocui was timid, following behind his father, looking timidly, there were many people digging wild vegetables, some knew, some did not know. I heard that in the nearby village, some people have been starved to death. Before going up the mountain, his father repeatedly told Xiang Xiaocui not to talk to strangers.
I'm afraid that even Xiang Xiaocui himself doesn't know where his parents are, who their surnames are, and why they threw themselves away. After Xiang Xiaocui became an adult, her mother began to tell her slowly. Maybe it was human nature, maybe it was fate that made her mother meet Xiang Xiaocui.
The mother was timid, did not dare to make decisions on her own, and found her husband to discuss with her husband, who was an honest man, sighed deeply, and said: "Hold back!" Good villains are also a living life! This year, I definitely can't survive, so I took this step. Who wants to throw away their children? Just be a companion with our baby, in the future, when she grows up, she will save having to marry "mother-in-law"! I ate one less bite and saved the baby's. ”
Xiang Xiaocui was named after her mother moved home, Xiang Xiaocui's fate has been changed since then, her life has been doomed, she has no choice, nor the right to choose. As an adult, Xiang Xiaocui couldn't believe her ears, facts were facts, and her mother couldn't deceive herself. However, Xiang Xiaocui would rather her mother deceive herself and hide this secret in her heart forever.
However, the mother did not do this. The peasant is so simple and unpretentious, no matter how poor, no matter when he is, he will not lie, he will not deceive others. For the simple and unpretentious peasants have come to understand a truth from the labor of year after year, day after day, "people coax the ground, and the ground coaxes the belly." Why not be like this? They have no profound knowledge, and they do not have the cunning heart of stealing and slipping, only because they have a grateful heart and a simple and unpretentious personality.
Xiang Xiaocui's life is like this, from being abandoned by her parents to regaining her new life. Xiang Xiaocui knows how to be grateful, she has not read a book, but she knows in her heart that if she did not have a mother, she would probably have been frozen to death and starved to death...
From adulthood to marriage, Xiang Xiaocui is almost always the life trajectory that her parents have set. In that era, when there was food to eat and a place to stay, I was already satisfied. After becoming an adult, Xiang Xiaocui often encounters those who flee the wilderness, beg for food, have a poor family, and have no surplus food, and can only barely make ends meet. Now that there is a natural disaster, the family's food has become a problem.
Wild vegetables can fill hunger, adults can eat, but what about children? Xiang Xiaocui was helpless, and her father quietly told her that the child could eat some wild fruits and try to find wild fruits. Wild vegetables will eventually be dug up one day, let alone wild fruits. In desperation, Xiang Xiaocui had to make up his own mind and exchange the wild vegetables he had dug up with people. No matter how difficult it is, you can't make your child hungry, it's when you grow up.
The situation is turbulent, warlords are fighting for hegemony, and the people are living in the depths of the waters. Even "digging wild vegetables" must be cautious and careful. Especially those young and middle-aged people, when they encounter those who grab "Zhuang Ding", whether you like it or not, you have no choice but to obediently follow. Otherwise, you will only be beaten to death. This is the situation, on the contrary, for those who have enough to eat for one person and the whole family is not hungry, there is a place to go.
No matter what, at least there is a place to eat, a place to stay. Then again, this kind of "fearful" day of pinning his head to the waistband of his pants is not a good idea after all, in the countryside, because there has always been a saying that "good iron does not nail, and good men are not soldiers".
Xiang Xiaocui, a female streamer, has not read any books, has no culture, and does not have this opportunity. I couldn't be a soldier, but I met a soldier. However, this time it was not the soldiers who "grabbed Zhuang Ding". They were dressed modestly, and their clothes were all patched. At first glance, it is born from a poor family.
It was only later that Xiang Xiaocui slowly learned that they were the troops of the Communist Party, the troops of the poor, the troops that specialized in fighting the world for the poor, they did not bully the common people, they did not take the masses for a needle and a thread, they also helped the poor people from time to time, their name was "Red Army."
Xiang Xiaocui was very timid, and he had only heard about the "Red Army" from his father. In fact, my father had never seen the real "Red Army", and it was the village chief who went door to door with a few people who looked very fierce. The gist is that the "Red Army" is bloodthirsty and kills without blinking an eye. One person says that he is not afraid, and what he is afraid of is that everyone says so. Those who have relatives outside the village who can run to the village and those who have connections in the city have all turned to their relatives one after another. Because the chief of staff also said that it may be some time before the "Red Army" comes here.
What is here and what can be done, Xiang Xiaocui does not know. Father also said, no, let's go! It's better to go out and beg for food than to eat a gun. This time, Xiang Xiaocui did not listen to his father's words. Because there are still children, children are still young and cannot go far. What kind of world is out there, and who knows? Father is old, one will understand, one will be confused. Xiang Xiaocui's life is still continuing, digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits, which has almost become a desire and luxury.
On this day, Xiang Xiaocui returned relatively late, because Xiang Xiaocui was too excited today. Excited, she forgot the time to go home, because she caught a hare. At this time, Xiang Xiaocui's boldness suddenly became bigger, and suddenly, there was no feeling of fear. Maybe it was excitement, forgetting that it was dark, and completely unaware of what it was to be afraid of.
Xiang Xiaocui sped up his pace, only to arrive home early and share this long-lost fragrance with his father and children. Maybe his father didn't know that Xiang Xiaocui had an unexpected harvest today. Father's body is also worse than a day, sometimes clear, sometimes confused.
Xiang Xiaocui's husband had to take care of his father and children, and in recent times, Elder Bao had taken a few soldiers to hang out in the village, and he was afraid of encountering someone who had caught Zhuang Ding on the road, so for the sake of safety, Xiang Xiaocui's husband had to stay at home. The neighbor's big brother was arrested halfway to do zhuang ding, if it were not for the kind neighbors to tell each other, the family still did not know where people went!
Xiang Xiaocui, who returned home, was still immersed in the joy of excitement in his heart. He also couldn't control his husband's "complaints" and skillfully cleaned up this unexpected "harvest".
The years are not good, what the taste of meat is, has long been forgotten. Poor people don't dare to think about it. In previous years, when the year is good, only in the New Year is willing to give yourself "meat and fish" to improve your life. This year's year, I dare not think about it. This accident made Xiang Xiaocui bump into it.
Xiang Xiaocui was also very cautious, and only told her husband the truth afterwards, in fact, she was also afraid, afraid that people would rob her halfway. That's why I waited until it was dark before I walked back. Xiang Xiaocui's worries are not false, the years are not good, people are hungry and crazy, and nothing can be done! The dog jumped the wall in a hurry, not to mention, it was a person.
Xiang Xiaocui's worry is not wrong, the year is not good, and "opening meat and fishy" does not dare to be blatant, that also has to be carried out secretly. If people knew, the family should suffer, especially the chief of security and those who were soldiers, even more unaffordable. Wandering around the village all day, no different from bandits, even worse than bandits.
Xiang Xiaocui carefully packed up this unexpected "harvest", repeatedly instructed the child, do not talk about it, and then go to kang to rest. Xiang Xiaocui was so excited that he asked her husband many times that the rabbit blood was buried, and there was rabbit hair.
The husband really had no choice but to answer hard, "Buried, buried, rest assured!" No one knows. Xiang Xiaocui was so excited that he couldn't sleep with excitement. It always felt like something was going to happen, it always felt like something was wrong. This may be what people often call the "sixth induction"...
Xiang Xiaocui didn't know when he fell asleep, because of the excitement, he was particularly energetic. It may be that I was really too excited, and my eyes really couldn't hold up, so I fell asleep. Xiang Xiaocui was awakened by a rapid knock at the door, not only her, but also her husband. It's not yet light, who is it?
Xiang Xiaocui sat up from the kang and whispered to her husband, "Did the baochang smell the aroma of rabbit meat and come to grab something?" The husband was dazed and overwhelmed. The knock on the door became more and more urgent, as if someone was still talking. Xiang Xiaocui was stupid, her husband was an honest man, he had never seen anything in the world, let alone himself. Xiang Xiaocui found out at this time that her husband at this time was motionless and could not speak.
In desperation, Xiang Xiaocui got dressed, boldly walked out of the courtyard, and asked, "What are you?" What's the matter? "I only heard the other side say, fellow, we are the Red Army, we have a few seriously wounded here, we need to borrow a bit, please." Xiang Xiaocui, when he heard that it was the "Red Army", the bao chang led people to say nothing less about the "Red Army".
Xiang Xiaocui's heart mentioned the throat eye for a while. He had never seen what the "Red Army" looked like, and looking down the crack in the door, Xiang Xiaocui felt that he was not as evil as Bao Chang said. If you really don't have to be unreasonable, will you knock on the door? This broken door kicked open with one kick. The other party seemed very anxious, "Rest assured, fellow, we will not hurt you, let's open the door first, okay?" Our seriously wounded are really out of the question. ”
After Xiang Xiaocui listened, he timidly opened the door, only to see a group of soldiers wearing patched clothes. Before he could say more, he entered the courtyard. The sky was not yet bright, and Xiang Xiaocui could not see too clearly. Xiang Xiaocui did not dare to talk to them, but begged them not to hurt the children.
After dawn, Xiang Xiaocui could clearly see that this was a group of plainly dressed soldiers. Only to see that they were holding a very seriously injured person, they did not enter the house, but entered a shack built in Xiang Xiaocui's yard, at this time, Xiang Xiaocui's hanging heart landed on the ground.
It may also be that xiang Xiaocui's fear was seen, and a soldier dressed in patch clothes came over and said, "Fellow, I have caused you trouble." Rest assured, we won't hurt you. When our badly wounded are slightly better, we'll go. ”
Xiang Xiaocui held on and squeezed out a smile, no trouble, no trouble. Xiang Xiaocui also didn't know what was wrong with him. The other party said very kindly, how can it not be troublesome? Big night, really give you trouble. Rest assured, we are the army of the poor, and we are fighting for the poor. Xiang Xiaocui may not have dreamed that this seriously wounded soldier would become a general of new China.
After three days, the general's wounds gradually improved. The bullet in the body was also taken out, and it was ready to move on the ground. When he left, the general gave Xiang Xiaocui a note, "Fellow, these days, staying at your house has caused you trouble." After we have the world, you will take this and go, they know. Afterwards, I learned that Xiang Xiaocui had not been to school, could not read, and did not know what was written, just saw an empty eggshell on the ground, simply put it in, and threw it directly under the tiles of the old house.
It wasn't until 2007 that Xiang Xiaocui's grandson Li Mingshan renovated the house and, by chance, found bullets under the tiles. If you look closely, there is no gunpowder in it, but a note is stuffed. When I opened it, it turned out to be an IOU, which said the cost of overnight stay.
