"Chief, as long as you don't dislike me, I will accompany you and take care of you for a lifetime." Xiao Huang said affectionately.
"I'm a fallible person, and you're only 20 years old ..." Wang Jinshan said.
Seeing that the general was in trouble, Huang Xiaoyi suddenly packed his bags and went to Henan Farm together. 10 At the beginning of June, they got married in Henan and became a couple in trouble. Wang Jinshan is responsible for gardening in the farm in the Yellow River flooded area, and is responsible for the planting, maintenance and sales of thousands of acres of apple orchards. Xiao Huang works in a farm kindergarten.
On the farm in Huangpan District, the old couple struggled together. They have a humble home, but the walls are empty. There is no decoration except a portrait of Chairman Mao on the front wall. There are two rooms inside and outside, with no door in the middle. Just hang a white cloth list to separate them. There is a kitchen behind the room. Wang Jinshan's brother in Hubei is a chef. In the back room, there is a big wooden bed made by a peasant carpenter, a table, two chairs, a covered 25-watt light bulb hanging on it, two big wooden boxes and a suitcase on the opposite side of the bed, and an imported radio brought from Beijing to listen to the news on the table.
Although he is on a farm, Wang Jinshan still maintains the style of a soldier. His chin and beard are clean and glowing with green light. A military cap without a cap badge is properly worn. There is no collar on the old military uniform, but the discipline button is still tightly buckled. Chairman Mao's head and the badge of honor of "serving the people" are hung on his clothes.
Wang Jinshan was injured seven times in the war years, with three serious injuries to his limbs and a broken leg and arm. The doctor took his blood pressure on his leg. Not to mention, because his leg is injured, one is long and the other is short. He walked around. Usually, the leather shoes he wears are special, one side is 5 cm higher than the other. On the farm, it is difficult for him to walk normally without special leather shoes. Because of the serious leg injury, he stood for a long time, his legs could not be labored, and he could not squat when defecating, otherwise he could not get up. He still has lung injury, so he should be examined regularly and take medicine.
Wang Jinshan endured the pain left over from the war years. Thanks to Xiao Huang's careful care, he is still as conscientious and responsible on the farm as he was on the battlefield, and devoted all his energy to his work.
Four years have passed in a blink of an eye. On the farm in the Yellow River flooded area, Wang Jinshan's heart flew back to his haunted army from time to time. He said: "I just turned 50, and I have a chance to wear a military uniform again."
Xu, then commander of the Nanjing Military Region, was his old superior and watched him grow from a cowherd to an excellent senior commander step by step. He, Chen Xilian, Xiao Yongyin and You Taizhong were comrades-in-arms during the Red Army period and had a profound fighting friendship with each other. So he wants to reflect the situation upward through them and get rid of the immediate predicament.
1968 Spring, one day, Xiao Yongyin, an old subordinate of Wang Jinshan and commander of armored forces in Nanjing Military Region, was having dinner at home when Wang Jinshan's second son came. He said to Xiao, "Uncle, first, I want to be a soldier, and second, can my father's problems be reflected upwards and dealt with later?"
Xiao Yongyin is an old subordinate of Wang Jinshan. He fought under Wang Jinshan for more than ten years. Wang Jinshan was promoted from brigade commander and division commander to army commander. He immediately said, "You can be a soldier. I can find a solution to this problem; The question about your father ... "Xiao Yongyin pondered for a while, and he came up with an idea:" Let your father write a letter directly to Chairman Mao. First, you should review your mistakes; Second, there are no problems that need to be clarified; Third, talk about your thoughts. I am young and want to work for the party. Please approve to return to the army and continue to make some contributions. "
Then, Xiao Yongyin added: "Now is a good opportunity. This letter can be presented directly to Chairman Mao by Commander Xu. "
Soon, Wang Jinshan wrote letters to the headmaster and Xu respectively.
1in the spring of 969, Xu, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, took the opportunity to say to Chairman Mao: "In the war years, a few people were good at fighting, and the officials became smaller and smaller. Life is hard now. I suggest you ask the chairman. "
"who?" Chairman Mao asked.
"One is Wang Jinshan and the other is Zhou Zhijian," Xu Youshi said. Although they are wrong, they are too heavy to handle and should return to work. "
Chairman Mao promised simply: "OK, please ask Comrade Ryan to handle it, but let the tiger go back to the mountains. Which army of yours still wants them? "
"Wang Jinshan, I want it!" Xu You volunteered. Soon, Wang Jinshan was transferred to the deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Military Region and returned to work in the army.
A month later, Nanjing Railway Station, from Zhengzhou to Nanjing, got out of a hard-seat carriage and a rural couple in faded military uniforms were visiting relatives in the city. The old husband is carrying an old box in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other. The bamboo basket contains several old hens, sweet potatoes and corn. The young wife held the child in one hand and the child in the other.
When getting off the bus, three demobilized cadres greeted them on the platform. They are You Taizhong, commander of the 27th Army, Li Desheng, commander of the 60th Army, and Xiao Yongyin, commander of the armored forces in Nanjing Military Region. When they saw the old man dressed as an old farmer, they immediately saluted. Immediately, a general came forward with an old suitcase in his hand and said, "Old Chief, you still have this temper and don't even buy a berth ticket. Look, there are children, so tired! "
The man dressed as an old farmer is Wang Jinshan, the former 6 th coach. He was greeted by his former subordinates, former brigade commander You Taizhong of 16, brigade commander Li Desheng of 17 and brigade commander Xiao Yongyin of 18. It was his proud general You Taizhong who robbed his suitcase. You were too loyal to grab his old suitcase, but the old hen in the bamboo basket in Wang Jinshan's other hand screamed. Wang Jinshan patted him and said, "All the people raised at home grew up eating insects in the wild. An egg a day is hard to kill. "
The speaker is sincere, but the listener hears a little bitterness and sigh.
