Vol 2 Chapter 9: Reunion

As the battle came to an end, sporadic gunshots continued one after another, and smoke was everywhere on the ground. The trenches were filled with corpses.
There are about six or seven remaining Vietnamese troops in the tunnel. I took people to block all the exits. I shouted at the tunnel entrance: "Busong Yeye, also loose in the red poison soldiers!"
The rest of the soldiers also shouted together: "Yong Song Ye, Song Kuan Red Poison Soldier! Ye Song Gong Ye, Song Kuan Red Poison Soldier!" (Vietnamese: don't kill the gun, treat the prisoners preferentially. The front-line combat troops all distributed a field manual with some commonly used Vietnamese words in Chinese, for example: just staying here, meaning to raise your hand. Not staying in a library, meaning to raise No hands are allowed. These are used to capture the enemy and persuade the surrender, and some are used to propagate our army ’s policies and speak to the Vietnamese people. In fact, in northern Vietnam, there are many ethnic groups, and the official language of Vietnam is not as popular as Chinese. Most Vietnamese soldiers speak Chinese.)
The Vietnamese surrounded by the regiment answered with a shuttle bullet deep in the tunnel.
I threw the helmet on the ground and scolded: "The ancestor who him on Puppy Day, refused to let Lao Tzu catch alive." Turning his head, the soldiers standing behind me issued orders: "Gun grenade, flamethrower, all together Fuck him.
Gathering grenades and flamethrowers are the most effective way to deal with stubborn enemies in tunnel bunkers. They are first suppressed with a large number of grenades and then killed with flamethrowers.
Bundles of grenades were thrown into the tunnel. After a series of violent explosions, Chinese soldiers used flamethrowers to spray against the hole.
The fireworks and the burning smell made people unable to open their eyes. I took the submachine gun and took the lead into the tunnel.
At this time, I found a large bundle of cluster grenades that had not exploded. I quickly took the soldiers and wanted to run out, but it was too late. A dull explosion caused my body to be knocked down by the impact of the waves. His eyes were completely dark, and he felt that he was covered with mud and nothing could be seen.
I grabbed my hands desperately, panic that I couldn't tell. At this time, my wrist was caught. Someone said to me, "Comrade, wake up, are you having a nightmare?"
I opened my eyes and looked around. The two train attendants and the passengers who were full of cars were staring at me. Everyone's face was smiling. I realized that I was just dreaming. Tone, I was still worried about the nightmare just now.
I could not dream of going home by train, but I lost my face this time. I smiled awkwardly at everyone. This may be the ugliest time in my life. Fortunately, without a mirror, I couldn't see my face.
When the flight attendant saw me awake, he told me that he was about to arrive at the terminal, ready to get off. I nodded, squeezed my luggage to the place where the two cars connected, and sat on the luggage, lit a cigarette and took a few sips, thinking about the comrades on the front line.
It's awkward to wear military uniforms without badges and badges, and you won't walk away. How do you explain to my father after going back? If the old man knew that I had sent the troops back, he would have to kill me with a belt.
I arrived at the station more than ten minutes later. I walked around the door and did n’t dare to enter the door. I walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about how to make a nonsense and confuse the old man.
It was getting late, and it was dusk and dusk. I entered a restaurant and wanted to eat something. I was shocked to see the menu. I have n’t eaten outside in recent years. Why are the dishes so expensive now? A plate of fish-flavored shredded pork actually costs six yuan. It seems that my demobilization fee of more than 3,000 yuan is just enough to eat 500 pieces of fish-flavored shredded pork.
I ordered two bowls of rice and a plate of chicken dumplings and a bottle of beer. The young waitress had to recommend me some braised prawns. I do n’t want to die. She whispered and rolled her eyes. Hummingly turned to serve me dishes.
I don't want to know her in general. I have been a soldier for a whole decade, sweating and bleeding, born and died, is it worth five hundred pieces of fish-flavored pork? Thinking of this makes people cry and laugh. But then I thought, compared with those comrades who sacrificed on the battlefield and in the snowy mountains, what other qualifications can I have?
At this time, another guest came in from the outside. He was wearing a large toad mirror that was imported from the United States. I think he was fashionable when he was dressed, and he looked twice.
The man also saw me, looked at me for a long time, and came to sit opposite my table.
I thought to myself what happened to this person. If so many empty tables wouldn't go, if I came over to squeeze with me, did the rogue want to trouble me? Fucking your grandma, I'm scratching my itch, I'm holding my breath, and I'm still looking for someone to fight, but it looks a little familiar to him. Most of his face was covered by a large toad mirror, and I couldn't remember who he was.
The man pushed the opening of the large frog mirror on the nose bridge and said to me: "The king is covering the ground tiger."
I said why this word is so familiar, so I replied smoothly: "Pagoda Zhenhe demon."
The other party asked, "Why are you blushing?"
I replied with a thumbs up: "I can't find my wife in a hurry."
"Why is that white again?"
"It was scared to marry a tigress."
The two of us hugged each other at the same time, and I said to him, "Little fat, did you expect the Central Red Army to come back again?"
The fat man cried with excitement: "Lao Hu, our Red Army has finally joined forces in northern Shaanxi."
We have also passed many letters in previous years, but we have never seen each other thousands of miles away. It was a coincidence that I encountered it in a restaurant as soon as I returned to the city.
The fat man's dad is much larger than my dad's official, but unfortunately he didn't stand up and died in the cowshed during the Cultural Revolution. A few years ago, after the fat man returned to the city, he found a job. After more than a year of fighting, he became a self-employed because he fought with the leader.
I have n’t seen them for many years. We both blushed and our necks were thick. I forgot the story of making nonsense. When I got home, I spit out the truth after drinking, and told my dad about it, but I thought he was not angry. Instead, I am very happy. I thought about this old man, the older I was, the lower my consciousness was, and I was happy to see that my son didn't have to go to the front line.
The job assigned to me by the relocation office was to go to a food factory as the deputy chief of the security department. I spent too much time in the army, and I did n’t want to live a regular life like work and work. To do business in the north.
Time passed quickly, and we looked into the 1980s, and we all have more than three children, but the business is getting worse and worse, not to mention saving money to marry a daughter-in-law, eating is almost a problem, and I often have to find The family needs money to solve the urgent need.
The weather was good on this day and there were no clouds. We both wore a pair of sunglasses and big flared pants. We pushed a tricycle on the streets of Beijing. There was a board on the car, full of tapes, and we took a broken recorder and pulled the two broken speakers. Wow wow wow the Taiwanese popular songs at that time.
A female student wearing glasses came over, picked for a long time, and asked us: "Is there a strong Xie Lisi?"
We sold the goods before, and sold them out two days ago, and the fat man said to her with a hippie smile: "Oh, I said sister, what age are they, and they still listen to their songs, do you listen to Teresa Teng and benefit Hui Zhang? Go back and listen, and assure Chairman Mao that as much as you want, there will be as much as you like. "
The female student saw that the fat man was not like a good person and turned away.
The fat man scolded at the back: "This stupid, pretending to be a mother, and also his mother wants to listen to the golden shuttle and the silver shuttle, and the girl looks like his mom and the shuttle."
I said that you have changed your accent to Beijing accent now. Is it terrible to speak Mandarin? Now that the business in Beijing is too difficult to do, let's go to Xi'an in a few days.
The fat man wanted to argue that his ancestor was from Beijing, and he hadn't waited to say it. He suddenly pointed to one end of the street and shouted, "I fuck, the businessmen have come to sweep, and hurried away."
The two of us drove the tricycle and ran away. We ran across the street, and I looked around. How come we unknowingly ran to the Panjiayuan Antique Market?
This street is all about buying and selling old things, and even the old Chairman Mao badges and red books have been collected. Like various bottles and jars, old clocks and old pocket watches, old embroidered shoes worn by the three-inch golden lotus, piles of copper coins, snuff bottles, various old furniture, pipes, calligraphy and painting, carved research desks, yellow ink paper , Old pipes, cricket jars, porcelain, lacquerware, gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, various kinds of jade, all kinds of jewelry, as long as they are old things, basically everything.
The fat man has a piece of jade pedigree that has been worn on his body. This jade was given to his father by a head of the Northwest Field Army. At that time, the head brought troops into Xinjiang and wiped out a bandit in the Niya Oasis. This jade was worn by the headband. It is said to be jade. Actually, the appearance is not very similar, the shape is simple and weird, and there are some messy patterns engraved on it, like maps and texts. I do n’t know what it is for.
This jade fat man has shown me many times. I used to have a lot of antiques in my house. When I was a kid, I listened to my grandfather and told me a lot about gold stone and jade. However, I cannot see the value of this piece of jade.
The fat man wanted to sell this piece of jade for a small amount of money to do business, but was stopped by me. This was left by your father. If you ca n’t sell it, do n’t sell it. We have n’t reached the point of nowhere. Asking for money, anyway, our old lady and old lady paid a lot of wages.
Seeing that there was an empty place by the road, the two of us stopped three rounds and bought two bowls of braised fire for lunch.
Braised fire is a soup boiled under the pig's water, which contains some large intestines and the like, soaked in chopped fire, more than one piece of money and a bowl, both economical and affordable.
I put too much spicy bowl of this bowl, and it was so spicy that my tears and snot came out, and my tongue was breathing out.
The fat man ate a bite and said to me: "Lao Hu, those who wanted to bring you out to make money in recent years, did not expect that the national economy is now invigorated. The situation is not small but good. Unlike when I first started to practice At that time, there were no more than three companies selling pop music tapes in Beijing. It was really a bit of a nuisance to you. Your father was already a teacher before retiring and enjoying the treatment of deputy municipal cadres. You might as well go back and let your old man take a back door Do n’t suffer with me if you arrange a job in the office. "
I patted the fat man's belly and said, "Brother, I will also tell you something. If I really want to go to the office, I can go at any time, but I dare not go. Do you know why? I'm scared, I If I sit still in one place, I ca n’t think of anything else, all of my dead comrades, they are all dangling in front of my eyes, and when I see them, my intestines are almost painful. We Now I'm busy doing some small business, and I can turn my mind around and think about something else, otherwise I must be nervous. "
After so many years in the army, others have learned to boost morale, and I comforted the fat man: "We are not too hard now. Isn't this still braised to eat? I thought I was in Kunlun Mountain, then his mother's It ’s really painful. One year after the Spring Festival, everyone was homesick, and a lot of recruits cried secretly. When the teacher saw this, it was okay, and he quickly made dumplings for everyone to improve the food. You may not believe the dumplings. There are no green vegetables in Kunlun Mountain, and the dishes are more expensive than gold. Some of the meat is dumplings of meatballs. The altitude is too high to boil the water. The dumplings are all raw and the meat inside is red. You can Can you imagine what it tastes like? I just ate seven or eighty, and I almost did n’t hold me to death. Gree, I have n’t eaten anything that I have cooked in those years, and the greed is broken. The next day I let The person was taken to the hospital, unable to digest, and his belly looked like iron sheet. Do you remember what was said in "Red Rock"? The eve of the victory of the revolution is always the coldest. Our business cannot always be like this, and the tape is not good Sell, we can sell something else. "
I turned on the recorder, and the two big speakers suddenly released music.
Since the recorder is relatively shabby and the sound quality is poor, no matter how beautiful the song is played from the inside, it is the same as breaking the gong.
But the fat guy and I didn't find it unpleasant, anyway, it sang much better than the two of us. The fat man became more cheerful after my profound and ideological education. With the rhythm of the music, he gripped his calf and opened his throat to sell: "Look, take a look, the original version of Hong Kong and Taiwan, cut your arms and cut your legs It ’s a big sale, and I ’m crying at a loss ... "
Pedestrians in the past and those who were doing business around them all cast a curious look on us. There was a man selling antiques next to us. When he came over to say hello to us, a big golden tooth appeared in his mouth. Big Jinya took out the cigarette and sent a circle to both of us.
I took the cigarette and took a look: "Yo, the grade is not low, American cigarette, Marlboro."
While giving me a cigarette, Da Jinya said, "The two lords sell popular songs in the Panjiayuan Old Market, but no one in these four or nine cities can think of it. Your two are really the first."
I took a big sip of cigarettes and sprayed two white smokes from my nose. This American smoke was strong. I looked up and said to Da Jinya: "You do n’t squeeze this on us, our brothers are hiding from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce Yes, I came here inadvertently and left in a while. "
As a result, the two sides were arrogant. Dare to love is not an outsider. Dajinya ’s family is in Hainan Island. His father ’s generation passed by when the PLA went south. The family ’s roots are all from Sanye. Let ’s talk about where is your hometown. The elders in the family are verticals and horizontals, and it doesn't matter which division or regiment belongs.
However, Da Jinya ’s father was not a cadre. His father was a folk craftsman. Later, he let the national army capture Zhuang Ding and Xu Beng battled, that is, during the Huaihai Battle, his army revolted and participated in the PLA. He I have been a cook in the army. On the battlefield of North Korea, his legs were frozen, and he was paralyzed for life. After the reform and opening up, he moved from Hainan to Beijing and collected antiques to do some business.
It ’s better to listen than to speak. He said it well. Is n’t a craftsman who is fighting a thief digging a grave? These people can't hear it, but I was brought up by my grandfather when I was young, and he told me these things.
Experts stretch out their hands to know if there are any. Going deeper, I asked Da Jinya: "Your grandfather used to touch the gold school captain, did you find any big dumplings?" "Da Zongzi" is a code word circulated among tomb robbers. Like the conversation between the bandits in the mountains, they can't directly say that they murdered and set fire, and they all have a set of proverbial incisions. Zongzi means that the corpses in the tomb are well preserved and not rotted; touching the big zongzi means that you are in trouble, referring to the unclean things like zombies and evil spirits; dry zongzi means that the corpses in the tomb are rotten to the left There is a pile of bones; there are meat dumplings, which means there are many valuable things on the body.
As soon as Da Jinya heard this, she immediately apologized to me, and asked me and my fat man to go to Dongsi to eat mutton and discuss it in detail. So the three men packed up their things and ran to Dongsi together.
