Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

In fact, Gao Xiang just pretended to be a political commissar, and went back to Gaoyang the day after the meeting.Leave all the work of this newly established detachment to Gao Qingshan, and ask him to take on the local responsibilities of the entire county, and leave Li Peizhong as an assistant, mainly to ask her to manage the mobilization meeting. The detachment headquarters is located in the county seat, in the compound of the Public Security Bureau.Since the Kuomintang officials and the police have fled, this formerly very strict and mighty institution has nothing left but a large empty courtyard.Needless to say, there are no tables and chairs in the house, even the walls, doors and windows of the yard are also lacking; there are many rotten bricks thrown in the yard.On the first day, Gao Qingshan came back from inspecting the three regiment headquarters with pistachios. There was no place to sit or stand. In the evening, the staff of the mobilization meeting slowly delivered two broken quilts, and blocked the doors and windows with grass. .

There were many things in Gao Qingshan's mind that were messy, but he didn't feel anything, but Mangzhong was a little disappointed.He thought, after hearing Chun'er's words, it would be a bit unlucky not to go to Gaoyang by car with Gao Xiang, but to live in a cold store with him. Sleeping on this broken kang at night does not seem to be more comfortable than his long-term worker's house.How can this be called improving life?Spread a quilt, damp and smelly, unable to sleep for a long time. It was so late, Gao Qingshan didn't intend to sleep yet.He watched the small oil lamp, sat down on the edge of the Kang, thought for a while, and took out a small notebook to write it down for a while.Seeing that he had finished memorizing, Mang Zhong leaned forward and said, "Detachment Captain, it's the beginning of winter now, and the night is very cold. There's no way to do it in this place. Let's go back to Wulongtang's house and sleep overnight with a big quilt on the kang!"

Gao Qingshan looked at him and smiled and said: "Why? The first day you came out, you were homesick?" "I'm not homesick! There's nothing to think about at home." Mang Zong said, "Why do we suffer this? Today, you've seen it anyway. What kind of yard did Gao Ba and the others live in? What kind of room did they occupy? , What is it covered? He is so high in the sky that it is just a regiment headquarters, so the bedding of our regiment headquarters is not as good as his! " "Don't compare with them." Gao Qingshan said, "The first move of the revolution is to study and endure hardships. There is no war yet. Like during our Long March, where can we find such a flat and spacious kang!"

Mangzhong couldn't hear it, turned over and fell asleep face down.Gao Qingshan covered him with the remaining quilt, and Mang Zhong said with confused eyes, "You don't want to cover it?" "I'm not cold," Gao Qingshan said, "I haven't slept without a quilt for ten years. And your gun, don't throw it around like this. Come on, raise your head and put it on your pillow! I have time tomorrow, I Teach you to shoot and aim!" Mangzhong muttered in his sleep: "How can you sleep on this hard one? If you expect to enjoy happiness with a gun on your back, if you know that you will suffer the same, you might as well hold a hoe and a sickle in the field!"

Then he fell asleep.Gao Qingshan walked around the courtyard, moved in two bricks, and put them on his head. Just as he was about to blow on the lamp for a rest, he heard someone from the courtyard come to the window sill and say, "Has Captain Gao fallen asleep?" It was a woman's voice. Following the opening of the window, half of his handsome face was revealed. Gao Qingshan saw that it was Li Peizhong, and said, "I haven't slept yet. Is there something wrong, Comrade Li?" "I'll come to your place to have a look," Li Peizhong walked into the room with a smile. She was wearing a new military uniform without a hat, her black hair neatly trimmed to her shoulders, and she had a pistol in a new leather case casually hanging on her shoulders. On the left shoulder, it looks like a schoolbag for a schoolgirl returning from school.She looked around and said, "Who is that on the kang?"

"Correspondent." Gao Qingshan said, "Look, there isn't even a place to sit here!" "Your place is different from mine!" Li Peizhong said with a smile, "Your place is like a ruined temple. My mobilization meeting is like an understage place. When you come out and go in, it's a mess. Why is the work here so backward? , compared to Gao Yang, it’s far worse! Comrade Gao Xiang left without helping us. Let’s go to the telephone office and call him! Tell him that we don’t even have a place to sit or stand. No, really, how can this make people work!"

"It's so late at night, don't bother him!" Gao Qingshan said, "His work there is even more busy." "You're right, he's such a busy man!" Li Peizhong said with a smile, "He's a big hit here! When he didn't come, us country bumpkins only knew how to mobilize the masses and mobilize the armed forces. He could not see the documents or get instructions. When he came here, he told everyone what he had studied in Yan'an, what he heard and saw, especially Chairman Mao's recent speeches and speeches, the policy and purpose, strategy and tactics of the War of Resistance Against Japan. It took several days and nights for our hearts to brighten up, with infinite confidence and strength. He was very busy, and he was invited to give lectures everywhere, and there were always a group of people following him, asking him to solve problems. Comrade Gao Xiang had energy again, He is eloquent, qualified, has a glorious history, and is a newcomer from the Holy Land of the Revolution, Chairman Mao. We really have indescribable respect for him. He also told us the story of the Red Army’s Long March, mentioned You, Captain Gao! Your history is more glorious, tell me a story about the Long March, what you experienced personally must be more moving!"

Gao Qingshan smiled and said: "Ten years of work, either marching or fighting. There are many roads to go, and many hardships and hardships, but I don't know where to start. Generally speaking, a revolutionary cadre must be able to fight in any dangerous and difficult situation. At this critical moment, the most important thing is not to lose confidence in the revolution, but to strengthen oneself, persevere in work, and win victory!" "You don't talk to me about sex," Li Peizhong said, poking his lips slightly, "You tell me the most exciting part in detail! Or, you can teach me a new song!"

At this time, Mangzhong, who was sleeping on the kang, began to talk in his sleep, asking Lao Wen to feed the animals, and calling Old Chang to set up a car.Li Peizhong heard and heard: "I know him, this is our family's small job." Gao Qingshan said: "Tell me about how you participated in the anti-Japanese work, Ziwu Town, your family..." "That's not my home." Li Peizhong blushed a little, "I married the Tian family, it was my father's decision. " "I heard that the leaders of your family have gone to the south," Gao Qingshan said. "It's very determined that you can stay behind the enemy lines by yourself."

"Captain Gao!" Li Peizhong said, "don't mention him again. You are my leader, and I would like to tell you about my background history. My natal family is the Li family in the back street of this city." "It is also a well-known big family in our county." Gao Qingshan said. "I'm not the main branch of the Li family." Li Peizhong's face turned even redder. "My father used to play an opera, and my mother sang Tsing Yi in the class, so he took over and gave birth to me. Because the Hetian family is My friend, you made an engagement for me. No matter what, I'm finally out of these two families now."

"That's as it should be," said Gao Qingshan. "There are many intellectuals from feudal families who participated in our revolutionary work. Before July 7th, did you participate in revolutionary activities?" "No." Li Peizhong said, "Since I was admitted to the normal school, I wrote an essay in class, and the Chinese teacher gave me a good grade. I fell in love with literature. Later, I read a lot of literature and art books. I have some understanding. But I was timid and did not dare to participate in any revolutionary actions. The Anti-Japanese Movement was a big reminder and a big help to me. It also involved vulnerable people like me. I first participated in saving the country Later, I graduated from the political training class in Gaoyang." "The Anti-Japanese Movement is a revolutionary climax." Gao Qingshan said, "We must stand the test together in this war to prove our ambition and courage." "I think, working with Captain Gao, I will learn a lot, mainly about your glorious revolutionary tradition." Li Peizhong said excitedly, "I hope you will teach me enthusiastically like Comrade Gao Xiang! " "I'll go with you tomorrow to organize the work of the mobilization meeting, don't go to Gao Xiang for everything," Gao Qingshan said with a smile, "Since he entrusted us with the work here, we must take responsibility!" The small oil lamp placed on the corner of the kang was bursting with candles, and the light in the room was the moonlight coming in through the torn paper window.At the base of the city wall, there was a high-pitched rooster crowing. Li Peizhong said: "Go to sleep, you have nothing to cover. I'll get you two quilts when I get home!" "Just as you said you were breaking away from the family, you went to get their quilts again!" Gao Qingshan said with a smile. "This is my natal family." Li Peizhong also smiled, "According to the principle of reasonable burden, mobilizing their two quilts is nothing!" Gao Qingshan said no, Li Peizhong sang softly and left.
