Just when Yang Zhen was about to step out. Her husband, who had been standing beside Qin Xiuhua since they met, and who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Lao Yang, can we talk about it alone?" Right now. ”

Hearing his invitation, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and did not refuse. When the two of them walked out of the tent, he stretched out his hand to Yang Zhen and said, "Yi Jianping, deputy political commissar of the Independent Regiment directly under the Fifth Army Subdivision of the 129th Division of the Southern Hebei Military Region, is also Qin Xiuhua's husband. This time, I was ordered to come to the Northeast with Xiuhua. ”

Yang Zhen hesitated for his outstretched hand, but after reaching out to hold it, he smiled and said, "I don't have to introduce myself." I think this superior must have confessed when you came. And in the previous situation, Xiao Qin also knew very well. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's answer, Yi Jianping nodded slightly and then shook his head and said: "Last month, we suddenly received an order to ask Xiuhua to return to Yan'an immediately to report to the Central Organization Department, and the reason was not said. Originally, it was only written on the transfer order to transfer her back to Yan'an alone, but after the military region and the head of our 129th Division explained the situation, I also received the transfer order before Xiuhua set off. ”

"After arriving in Yan'an, before I could catch my breath, I had just finished reporting to the Central Organization Department, and before I even found a place to live, I was sent to the Soviet Union on a Soviet plane. It wasn't until we arrived in Moscow to meet with Vice President Zhou, who was treating his wounds there, that I learned why we were transferred in such a hurry. ”

"You don't know, when Xiuhua knew that you didn't sacrifice, but went to the Northeast, people were almost going to collapse. If it weren't for the persuasion of several eldest sisters in Moscow, I'm afraid she would have the heart to seek death. You're still alive, but she's married. She thinks she's betrayed your oath. ”

"Actually, you don't know that after learning the news of your disappearance, Xiuhua was almost going crazy. We intellectuals have always taken good care of her, and in order to prevent her from touching the situation, but also to give her a chance to start over, and to eliminate some unnecessary interference for him, the political commissar came forward to transfer her to work in the Fifth Division of the Southern Hebei Military Region. ”

"After arriving in the Southern Hebei Military Region, due to our similar identity backgrounds and backgrounds, we worked together again, and we slowly became familiar with each other and took good care of each other. Later, after being pinched by the head of the military division, he got married last winter. ”

Speaking of this, Yi Jianping suddenly said to Yang Zhen: "Old Yang, I should say thank you to be honest." Thank you for forgiving Xiuhua. You don't know that since you arrived in Moscow, the news that you are alive has been firmly wrapped around her and me like a shackle. Not only Xiuhua, but also me, felt like a big stone in my heart. ”

"I really appreciate you for forgiving us so quickly. Ever since I found out about it, I've been worried about her body. You also know that her current body, once the emotions are excessive, it will bring her a lot of damage. Coupled with the bumps in the planes and cars along the way, her state is very unstable. ”

Regarding Yi Jianping's words, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you thank you or not." It is true that we used to be lovers, and although we are no longer together, we will still be comrades in the future, revolutionary comrades-in-arms who will fight together under the same banner. What's more, I'm not wrong, I really can't blame her for this. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen sighed with emotion and said: "When husband and wife come together, in addition to feelings, they actually pay more attention to fate. But many things can be influenced by emotions alone, especially couples during the war years. Maybe today you are happily ready to start a new life, and tomorrow you will die on the battlefield. ”

"You have to accompany her well, enlighten her more, enlighten her. People can't always live in the shadow of the past, but they still have to look forward. Even if it's for the sake of children, you have to live happily. ”

"I don't think after the news of my death or disappearance came, there would not be a few people in the division who pursued her. A female college student like her, who is also a beautiful female cadre, has always been the focus of the pursuit of senior cadres in our army. Especially in the situation that there are more monks and less meat, after more than ten years of war tests, and before they get married, they still grab a lot of them. ”

"Under the pursuit of so many senior cadres, since she can choose you as a partner, you must still have something extraordinary. You've helped her when she's struggling, and I think you should trust her to make the right choice. Especially when your children are about to be born. Trust her, love her, and don't doubt her. ”

When Yang Zhen said this, Yi Jianping kept looking at Yang Zhen from the bonfire beside him, as if he wanted to find out if this was what he was talking about. However, what disappointed him was that Yang Zhen's eyes were very calm, and he didn't see anything without half a wave.

Staring at Yang Zhen for a long time, Yi Jianping still said: "Anyway, I really appreciate you, Old Yang." You're really big-hearted. Perhaps it is your kind of mind that can lay down such a large area of heaven and earth in this North Manchurian land where the enemy situation is the worst. ”

Hearing Yi Jianping's sincere thanks again, Yang Zhen, who suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Old Yi, maybe my mind is not as broad as you think. Actually, I'm also a small-bellied person. It's just that my little belly chicken intestines are never used on my comrades-in-arms and comrades. ”

Although Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he received the telegram that his fiancée had married someone else, he was a little uncomfortable now. Although it was only his ex's fiancée, it had nothing to do with him. He married only after learning the news that he had died. But for him, there was a faint feeling of betrayal.

Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Yi Jianping smiled and didn't explain anything, but just said to Yang Zhen: "When I was about to leave Moscow, Vice Chairman Zhou had already talked to us. The Central Committee has decided that Comrade Xiuhua and I will stay with you to work this time. The specific duties are arranged by you. ”

"From now on, I will be your subordinate. Please rest assured, no matter what position you arrange, even if it is a squad leader or an ordinary soldier, I promise that you will happily obey orders and work hard. I am a revolutionary soldier, and I put the party's cause first. ”

Hearing that the Central Committee had decided to transfer the two of them to work here, Yang Zhen was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Welcome to work in the Anti-Japanese Federation, we are in need of young, educated and experienced cadres like you." However, you still need to discuss your specific work arrangements with the commander-in-chief and political commissar. ”

When the words fell, Yang Zhen saw that the commander-in-chief over there was greeting him, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I still have to accompany the central leaders, you go back to accompany Xiuhua first, and persuade her well, and put your body first." I'll go first. I'll talk about work when I get back to headquarters. If you have anything, you can come to me directly, and if it is not convenient to find Political Commissar Li, you can do it. ”

After Yang Zhen left, Yi Jianping looked at his back, remembering his wife who had not calmed down in the tent, and sighed slightly, but did not go back immediately. Instead, he stood by the river for a long time, until he was called back to dinner, and then returned to his tent to accompany his wife.

Yi Jianping is a person with a stable personality and a lot of feelings, and he can be regarded as having a deep affection for Qin Xiuhua. Although he was married to Qin Xiuhua, he always knew that the person Qin Xiuhua really loved in his heart was his fiancé, who had sacrificed. No matter how much he cared for her, he could never replace that person's position in her heart.

It's just that he doesn't care that there is another person in his wife's heart, he has always thought that as her current husband, he should be open-minded and can't fight with a dead person, that doesn't make sense. The important thing is that she is now her own wife, and she is about to have children for herself, isn't it?

It is precisely because Qin Xiuhua never forgets his fiancé who has sacrificed, and even chooses to be only a deputy regiment-level self among the ** pursued by Ruyun, which makes him pay more attention to and cherish his wife. Because in his opinion, this is a woman who is truly affectionate and righteous, and is worthy of cherishing and loving himself for the rest of his life.

Even Qin Xiuhua's expression after learning the news that his fiancé was not sacrificed and was still alive made him feel a little bit like he had taken advantage of the situation and won the love of others. When he set out from Moscow, especially after the central leadership talked to him, he even had the idea of giving up.

After talking to him about the reason for transferring them to Moscow, the central leaders told him bluntly that the central authorities did not want to interfere in the emotional entanglements between them and would respect their choice.

But I also hope that he can respect Comrade Qin Xiuhua's personal choice. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he told him that if Qin Xiuhua decided to return to her fiancé, he hoped he wouldn't stop him.

In a separate conversation, the head of the Central Committee clearly told him that the Central Committee attaches great importance to Yang Zhen and the work of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and hopes that some capable personnel can be arranged there to take care of the private lives of Yang Zhen and some senior leaders of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and not to let the outside world interfere and use their feelings to influence them or some of his decisions.

Who exactly is this outside world, the central leadership did not point out. But from the moment he entered the territory of the Soviet Union to the time he arrived in Boli, from the other party's deliberate difficulties in some aspects, Yi Jianping could also feel it.

Although like Yang Zhen, he is a cadre who joins the army as a college student. However, Yi Jianping, who has many years of underground work experience, understands that it is helpless to let the central leaders, who have always been stable and have high prestige in the party and respect the personal wishes of comrades, make such a choice. This is a question of the struggle for the leadership of the Anti-Japanese Union.

The lone army of the Anti-Japanese Federation hangs in the northeast, which can be described as the emperor far away. There is no direct connection with the central government, and apart from the radio station, the land communication of a qiē can only be through the other party. He had even lost contact with the central government for several years. Compared with the central government, they are more dependent on this outside world.

Can we firmly hold the contingent of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the hands of the party and independently carry out the anti-Japanese guerrilla war without being led by the nose by certain external factors? This caused the work of the central authorities to fall into great passivity for a long time because some leaders made inappropriate remarks at the behest of the other side during the Middle East Road incident. Even the central leaders who were caught by the pigtails in the negotiations on the Xi'an Incident are a big problem, and they are also a problem that must be considered.

In particular, after knowing that these external factors broke out in the Normenhan incident, they changed some of the original non-contact and even disguised weakening policies, and increased some assistance from the United Nations. The apparent meaning of the struggle for leadership has only intensified the misgivings of the central leadership.

After analyzing the specific situation reported by Yang Zhen, the Central Committee obviously focused its work on Yang Zhen, the youngest of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation, but also the most powerful, and the only leader of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation, who had worked in the Central Committee after the Anti-Japanese War, and now the situation of the Anti-United Nations can have a key impact on Yang Zhen.

Of course, the specific decision will have to be made after the central delegation returns for inspection. Yang Zhen's telegram alone cannot get a full picture. The work of the Central Committee cannot be determined by one person.

In order to ensure that he would not be co-opted by the outside world, the central leaders even made a decision to interfere in the marriage of two married ordinary party members and grassroots party cadres, which was difficult to imagine before. Even during the purge of the Soviet districts, this was never the case.

For Yi Jianping, this choice is difficult. Although it is said that Yiqiē obeys the needs of the party, although it shows that he knows that his wife is very affectionate to his ex-fiancé, it is not so easy to let him go.

On the way from Moscow to Boli, he deliberately suppressed his feelings and feelings, while taking care of his pregnant wife, who was too excited and had some instability. On the one hand, there are difficult choices to make on the psychological side. It made him a little exhausted.

But now he is very glad that Yang Zhen's open-mindedness is not as he imagined. After talking to Yang Zhen, the heart he had been hanging on finally let go. He knows his wife's character, a typical soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and an absolutely good wife and mother-type character.

Although he has been very excited since he learned the truth, Yi Jianping believes that it is caused by the great joy after the great sorrow. She will make her final choice, and that choice will be respectful of reality. As for the central government's thoughts, in Yi Jianping's view, the central government's worries are a little too worried.

As for the future development of things, we still need to think about it ourselves. Since the central authorities have decided to keep themselves in the northeast to work, in the future they should shift their focus to how to accomplish the tasks assigned to them by the central authorities.

Just when Yang Zhen was about to step out, his husband, who had been standing beside Qin Xiuhua since they met, suddenly said, "Old Yang, can we talk alone?" Right now. ”

Hearing his invitation, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and did not refuse. When the two of them walked out of the tent, he stretched out his hand to Yang Zhen and said, "Yi Jianping, deputy political commissar of the Independent Regiment directly under the Fifth Army Subdivision of the 129th Division of the Southern Hebei Military Region, is also Qin Xiuhua's husband.
