Accumulate Wealth in Life

Old Films of the Republic of China (89)

Multiple children This is not an extra meal. The child is now classified as an orphan. How to do? Even after receiving the family who will take care of it. Lin Yutong himself was so busy that there was no day or night, not even Chang Sheng. Is it called the Fourth Master's education? Changsheng is his own child, and this is his responsibility. But the other kids? just forget it. Fourth Master himself has his own business.

"Peony, come over for dinner." No matter what she planned, she had to feed the child first. The child's father's surname was Zhao, and her grandmother named the child Peony. When her grandmother died of illness, the child grew up with relatives in his father's house. Those relatives have no close relatives, they are all a little farther away. Uncles and cousins ​​also have children to raise. The burden of raising such a child is definitely increasing. Xingzi went to look for it, and they returned the child without saying a word. But now, the child has been sent back all the way. I don't care who cares? Huaizi or Yangzi?

Peony lowered her head and rubbed against the front of the table, and a bowl of shaozi noodles was solved by three and five. After eating and taking a shower, I can't wear clothes on my body. She took out Chang Sheng's clothes that were too small and told her to stay alive first. Maybe she was really tired, and she didn't care at all, she just lay on the kang corner and fell asleep.

Chang Sheng was lying in the bed, looking at this and that, somewhat uneasy, like a small beast that was invaded by someone.

Lin Yutong patted him, "Go to sleep, Mom and Dad will handle it. It has nothing to do with you."

Chang Sheng turned over, not knowing whether he was really asleep or fake.

Fourth Master whispered: "Two ways, one is to put it in foster care at the home of a fellow villager, and the other is to put it in the school."

Lin Yutong rolled his eyes, he knew that he would not choose to put his children in the home of fellow villagers, so he still advocated putting them in school. Besides, this kid is of the right age.

"It's not that you can't raise more children, the problem is that you don't have time or energy." The fourth master put his hand on Lin Yutong's back, "You can feel your ribs one by one. In the next few years, Your life is like this, no matter how many doctors you have, you will never be idle here. When you started, you wanted to save your life. Now, if there is someone who must be amputated, you don’t want to be disabled, and you are still trying to find a way. Send it to you. Besides, the front lines are getting longer and longer, and multiple battlefields are fighting at the same time, which means a steady stream of wounded soldiers of all kinds. You will only be busier than now. As for me, I estimate that half of the year will be done in the future. I spend all my time at the arsenal, how can I bring Changsheng with me, how can I bring a little girl?"

"Is it still possible to enter the Baoyu Yuan?" Lin Yutong frowned. In fact, Baoyuyuan is the best choice. In addition to the chief's children, they are the orphans of high-level martyrs. Like Peony, without Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, she would definitely not be able to get in. Many generals fought outside the home, and their children were in Baoyuyuan. After entering, there is basically no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. The clothes are donated by some foreign funds, and the food is basically the best supply in the border area. There is no such thing as milk in other places, but Baoyuyuan has it. Eat meat and vegetables every day. Teachers are also serious and responsible. An An has stayed before. When such a small child has to be in charge of eating, drinking, and Lhasa, everyone has grown up. A sensible child like Peony can't adapt without reason. When she first saw the child, she had such thoughts in her heart. If it doesn't work, I will send it over to study for two years. After two years, it is estimated that Yang Zi will take over.

Whether you can get in or not, you have to find a way to get in. This is the best arrangement I can think of now for this child.

The two have made a decision, but this does not mean that they can be sent away. She had to adjust to the family for two days anyway, and she seemed to be in a hurry to get her out of the house.

In fact, the child is also pitiful. Growing up with those relatives, he may be beaten or scolded. This child still has some old wounds. The next day, when Lin Yutong said that she wanted Aunt Cui to make two new clothes for the child, she heard noises outside. She opened the curtain and went out, and saw Peony walking here alone holding the firewood. The guard at the door signaled her to put down the work without her, and she froze there holding the firewood in fright. Lin Yutong hurriedly went out to pick up the firewood, "Give it to my aunt. Why don't you go to bed early? Uncles will do the work, so you don't have to worry about it."

Peony lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes, her face flushed red. Lin Yutong raised his hand and touched her hair, "But we Peony are really sensible, let's go! Aunt will comb your hair for you."

Braided in sheep's horns, wearing a thick padded jacket, even if it is old, it is 80% new. The child's eyes were bright, and he carefully touched his clothes from time to time. Chang Sheng freed up a schoolbag for her: "This is for you, have you gone to school yet?"

Peony shook her head and looked like she cherished her schoolbag.

"Then go to school with me after dinner." Chang Sheng rolled his eyes and took her to dinner.

Lin Yutong didn't care about them either, it was easier for children to get to know each other.

Chang Sheng's school is different from the boarding school. He was studying with the Boy Scouts, half day school, half day military training. And he only goes occasionally.

Lin Yutong had eaten in two or three, and was about to go to the hospital. Before going out, An An called Chang Sheng at the door. Chang Sheng took two steamed buns and stuffed them into his schoolbag, and then pulled Peony, "Come on, I'll be late for a while."

Lin Yutong stood at the door, watching Chang Sheng wink at An An for some nonsense. She took a few steps forward uneasy, and vaguely heard Chang Sheng say, "I'm unlucky, I run to school every day, it would be better if I lived in the school."

An An replied: "Living at school? A place where anyone can go to Baoyuyuan? You think it is beautiful. I heard that there are milk and eggs there every morning. Every meal has meat and thin noodles. Do you want to go there? , do I still want to go?"

Chang Sheng sighed, "The family can only send one, and I don't know if my mother will send me or my sister."

An An glanced at Chang Sheng sympathetically: "Who told you to be so unlucky, your sister doesn't come sooner or later, but she came at this time."

Peony was a little uneasy, and looked at Chang Sheng carefully: "Then brother, go, I don't go to school."

Chang Sheng shook his head: "My mother... Forget it, my mother will definitely give you the best. Forget it, who called you a sister?"

Lin Yutong didn't hear what he said. But she was really stunned for a while. This kid has such a heart, this is to coax that silly child to be grateful to Dade for living in the school. There are delicious food and new clothes to wear every day, which is a fatal temptation for such an old child. Other children also want to be with their parents, but for Peony, she basically has no experience of living with their parents. If you can eat enough, wear warm clothes, don't need to be beaten or scolded, and don't need charity, this is probably a good life. In Baoyuyuan, although she has the honor of Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, her parents are indeed martyrs. The children of martyrs do not need to be raised by anyone. They have a lot of special care for them, and the border area government will raise them. She does not need to depend on others for food and clothing. In fact, this is really beneficial to the growth of the child.

If you go to school without the slightest complaint in your heart, then it will be better. Lin Yutong originally thought of sending it to get used to it for a week to see, if it doesn't work, then take it back and find another way. Unexpectedly, I called this kid Chang Sheng to solve it.

When I came back from work today, I saw that both children were at home. Peony and Chang Sheng are not so awkward anymore. Just looking at the two of them spread out on the kang, they seemed to be very tired.

Lin Yutong asked the Fourth Master in a low voice, "What is this for?"

The fourth master glanced at Chang Sheng: "I went to the military training with Peony. I didn't come back for lunch and trained for a long time."

Then this should not tire people out for good or bad. She was about to speak when she heard Chang Sheng's voice from inside: "If you can't stand it, I'll ask my mother to take you to the Baoyu Yuan, and I'll ask Uncle Bai Yuan to pick you up at the end of the month."

"I'm going, what are you doing?" Peony muttered in a low voice.

"Send you there first, and I'll find a way to go later." Chang Sheng vowed, "If you don't want to stay there, and if you feel bad, you can come back."

"Can you really ask me to go?" Peony sat up and asked, "Can my aunt and uncle agree?"

"My parents and my mother have wanted a girl for a long time. It's too late for you. If you want to go, I will definitely tell you to go first."

Lin Yutong frowned, Chang Sheng must be so careful, but this child's temperament... She can't say whether it is good or bad.

In the following days, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master seemed to have forgotten to send Peony away, and no one mentioned it. Aunt Cui also made new clothes and schoolbags for Peony, and Lin Yutong made a bunch of various head flowers for her with red silk.

Five days have passed, and Lin Yutong came back early in the evening, just in time to make dinner. Peony helped watch the fire in front of the stove, and looked at Lin Yutong secretly from time to time, "Aunt, when do I go to school?"

"Is your cousin's school bad?" Lin Yutong teased.

"Cousin said I can go to Baoyu Yuan." Peony raised her head and looked at Lin Yutong carefully, "Can I go? Auntie."

Lin Yutong smiled and continued busy with his work, "The Baoyuyuan is a little far from our current home. If we can't take care of it, we may not be able to come back from you sometimes in a month. Can you get used to it alone?"

"Yes! I definitely can." Peony stood up immediately, "I can definitely get used to it. When my aunt picks me up when she is free, I will be obedient."

"Then I'll take you there tomorrow." Lin Yutong smiled, "If you can't take care of picking you up in the future, don't worry. I regularly ask people to bring things to you. If you want anything, you can also write to your aunt. If you don't know how to write, you can ask the teacher to write it for you."

Thinking of what to tell her, she finally asked Bai Yuan to take her there, and gave the teacher at the Baoyuyuan the hospital's phone number. If the child doesn't feel comfortable, she will be picked up again.

Chang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh! I finally sent the girl away." Then he pulled Lin Yutong's shirt and whispered, "If she doesn't let me go to Baoyuyuan, maybe I will I can't bear to send her away."

Just a child, it is instinct to like good things. This doesn't mean anything. But Chang Sheng's temperament is really a bit of a thief. Lin Yutong taught him: "Don't always try to test others. If you lose your sincerity first, you can't blame others."

Chang Sheng drooped his face and stopped talking. It took a long time before he said, "I don't like Auntie, who knows if Peony will be the same as Auntie."

So you were on guard from the start?

That night, the fourth master called Chang Sheng to the study. Judging from the drooping corner of the boy's mouth, it didn't look good. Fourth Master is the type who watches him all kinds of jumping, and we will slowly clean up after the jumping is over.

He was so busy that he sent Bai Yuan to pick up Peony twice, but he didn't pick it up. The child was very active, helping the teacher with younger children at school, so refused to come back. Belongs to thinking very progressive children. Lin Yutong was not at ease, and even made a special phone call, but the teacher only praised him, saying that he helped with the meals, washed the dishes, and took the initiative to live in the younger children's dormitory to take care of him every time he had meals. Now he's a captain. What can Lin Yutong say in this situation, with a few polite words, that's all there is to it. Judging from the current situation, as long as this child occupies the ideological progress, plus he is the orphan of a martyr, he will definitely not suffer in the future. For a long period of time, the progress of thought has been an important criterion for judging a person.

This year has passed in this busy atmosphere. Just after the New Year, Fourth Master was frequently called to meetings. Lin Yutong thought it was a military issue again, but when he had time to talk to the fourth master about it, he realized that he was talking about economic issues. The price of goods in the Kuomintang area has skyrocketed by two to three times within a month. "...Many officers participated in the gold speculation, borrowing from banks and speculating, and the price of gold soared to 8.5 million. This price went crazy. come up."

This is all for me, as long as profitable things are swarming up. Lin Yutong figured it out by himself. If he borrowed 1 million from the bank to buy gold, and then sold one-eighth of the gold after the price of gold rose, this part would be enough to pay for the bank's loan. About seven-eighths of the rest are self-earned. That's what the empty-glove white wolf said. And this is not what paper money is earned, but real gold. The central bank's coffers are said to be empty. Losing the public's fat and the private's is just like that. In addition, if there is a way, they try to get their family members to immigrate to the United States. A lot of gold was taken out in this way.

Lin Yutong originally thought that the economy was in such a mess, and at least he wanted Jiang to stay busy for a while. Unexpectedly, three days later, the fourth master got the news from Jaba, Jiang personally went to the west to supervise the war, and deployed Hu Zongnan to attack Yan'an.

"Is this messed up gold case just thrown away?" Lin Yutong, who has always put more emphasis on the economy, couldn't understand this approach.

The fourth master waved his hand: "It's already like this, is there any way to save the economy? If you want to save it, you can use a knife from the root. Are they stupid? Not stupid at all. At best, Song Ziwen, the president of the Executive Yuan, should resign. What else? If they can’t be saved, they should stay on the side first. As long as they win the military, they will deal with it in the same way. It can’t be considered a mistake. They don’t know the current situation…” Therefore, those who can withdraw have withdrawn, and those who are willing to surrender. are down. The war progressed so quickly. "Let's pack up, it's time for us to move." He turned his head to look at the cave, "I'm afraid I won't come back if I leave." Somewhat disappointed.

Only then did Lin Yutong remember that the strategy should be shifted next. As the hospital in the rear, it will definitely be transferred with the headquarters, and the fourth master, as an expert, is bound to transfer with the headquarters for safety.

Before the order came down, Lin Yutong asked Zhong Shan and the others to slaughter all the pigs and chickens raised at home, and it was the most reliable way to eat them.

"Isn't this going to pass?" Fang Yun took the half-pot of meat that Lin Yutong handed over, "What's the happy event?"

What happy event?

Lin Yutong couldn't say anything before the order came. She smiled, thinking about how to answer this, and then she stuttered in the door and said, "Eat what you have...don't ask..."

Come to think of it, he guessed it.

I have lived in a cave for ten years, but there are really not many things that are really useful. In addition to the bedding, the pots and pans of the restaurant, these things are called the guard class to carry, that is. Then there are the clothes, the old clothes are really old, and the old ones can no longer be worn. Ninety percent of Changsheng's old clothes have been given away. After cleaning up, I realized that there was really nothing worth cleaning in this house. Only the fourth master's draft, Lin Yutong took the important ones and quietly put them away, and the rest of the fire was all set on fire.

What worries Lin Yutong is the relocation of the pharmaceutical factory. Where should the new factory be located? This is a big problem.

Before Lin Yutong came out, on the night of March 18th, the order came down, you can pack up and transfer!

My own things are packed up, but hospitals and pharmaceutical factories are not so fast to pack up, plus students, it will take a few days. Lin Yutong was about to go to the hospital, but Fang Yun came over, "The order is for you to go first, please execute the order."

How does this work?

Fang Yun stopped Lin Yutong from exporting, "As long as you are here, the hospital and the pharmaceutical factory will be there. Therefore, you are the core and the most valuable asset of our hospital and pharmaceutical factory. The rest is up to me and President An, who will go out. No mistake."

"Where's An An?" Lin Yutong didn't hold back any longer and asked the child's arrangements first.

"Follow his dad." Fang Yun said stuttering, "The child follows him, I have to follow the hospital and watch these students."

Taking the child on the road, Lin Yutong felt a headache just thinking about it. Just thinking about what to do with Peony, Bai Yuan got the news, saying that there is a special person in Bao'an County to protect, and Baoyuyuan is very safe. Lin Yutong was relieved, and woke up the sleepy Chang Sheng, who was on his way. Because of the large amount of luggage to bring, the horses are no longer suitable. There were several mules at the door. Chang Sheng didn't dare to ride a horse, but he wasn't afraid of mules. After picking up the tall one, he hurriedly leaned over, scaring Lin Yutong enough. This mule is still different from a mule. A mule born from a male donkey and a mare is called a mule. This kind of mule is tall and mighty in appearance, but it is also not docile in temperament. Only a mule born from a male horse and a female donkey is the most docile. It just doesn't look tall. This kind of mule still has advantages as a means of transportation. Of course, children don't know what's going on here, thinking that all mules can be ridden on their backs at will.

The Fourth Master called Chang Sheng aside, spread the knowledge to him, and pointed at the mule: "...you read the Red Mansion, and in the Red Mansion, there was a Xue Pan who appeared on the stage, saying that he rode a big iron-green walking mule. It's a mule..."

Lin Yutong: "..." Quote from scriptures. It really doesn't work on its own. Who can remember such details.

In Qin Bei in March, the temperature at night is about seven or eight degrees. During the coldest time period, it can reach five degrees, which is still a bit cold. The fourth master rode on the mule, put Chang Sheng in front of him, and tied the child to him with a sheet, then wrapped the coat and wrapped Chang Sheng in his arms. Then he turned to look at Lin Yutong, who was checking his luggage, "It's almost done, let's go." He had already started to pack up, and there was nothing important even if he left.

Lin Yutong stood at the door and looked in again, "That place has to panic this year." It's a pity that this lot has been turned over. The seeds were sown.

No matter how reluctant it is, when it's time to go, you have to go. Along the way, I met many fellow travelers, but none of them could see who was who. In addition to marching at night, try not to disturb the people, so the road is quiet.

Lin Yutong was riding on a mule, but he didn't walk fast, the road was narrow, and he couldn't walk side by side with the fourth master. Zhongshan Baiyun and the others were walking, closely following behind. The fourth master had to look back from time to time to make sure Lin Yutong was all right, and then he turned around again. If you can't see the road clearly at night, you are afraid of falling into a ditch. Of course, they were able to get four mules, which was already a special consideration. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master have one head, and the other two have to carry so many people's luggage, which is much better than others. The number of horses is limited, let alone the car. It is said that there are only two jeeps, one for each of the No. 1 and No. 2 chiefs, and they have left calmly.

After turning over one mountain ridge after another, a little fish maw white appeared on the horizon. At this time, people walked into the ditch between the two mountain beams, and the team stopped to repair. Si Ye didn't move on the mule, waved to Lin Yutong, and pointed to Chang Sheng in his arms. This means that the child was sleeping soundly.

But no matter how much you sleep, you can't just stay still. At least have to go to the toilet is not.

Lin Yutong unbuttoned his coat, transferred Chang Sheng into his arms, and sat on the mound by the roadside, "You go to activities..." His legs must be stiff, and his feet are going numb.

Along the road, people in twos and threes were sitting back-to-back, and without much effort, snoring sounded one after another in the camp. Lin Yutong didn't dislike being dirty either. He fell to the ground, hugged Chang Sheng, and fell asleep just like that. The fourth master turned around and came back, seeing this mother and daughter like this, there is no reason not to feel distressed. I had to pick up the firewood and rise up by the side, afraid that I would freeze if I fell asleep like this.

The day is bright, and this temporary repair is over. Gotta cook again. At this time, Chang Sheng really woke up. The uncomfortable sleep didn't seem to affect his energy, and he was curious about everything. Follow Bai Yuan to pick up firewood, and follow Zhong Shan to learn to make a fire in the wild to cook.

Occasionally cooking in the wild, that's a picnic. But on the march, it was no pleasure. When the rice was half-cooked in the pot, the whistle sounded to prepare for departure. A bowl of half-cooked rice per person, eat it when you bring it up. The wind picked up and the soil blew into the bowl, and no one really cared. Lin Yutong touched an egg that had been prepared a long time ago and gave it to Chang Sheng to eat. The fourth master drank the rice soup, and of course the half-cooked Mi Lin Yutong did not dare to ask the fourth master to eat it. He handed over his bowl, and then took the remaining bowl of the fourth master. The remaining unblooming millet in the bowl was quietly poured into the space by her. Outside, no matter how mature the meal is, it cannot be wasted.

Changsheng can't get enough of an egg at all. The pancakes prepared earlier can only be eaten while riding on a mule. Eating pancakes is easy to choking and thirsty, but the water on the road is extremely precious. There was a water source in the camping place just now, and no one just filled a pitcher of water. This water should be drunk sparingly. It’s not that I can’t stand it, but I’m reluctant to take a sip. Especially this kind of transfer, I don't know where it will go and where the destination will be. No one knows if there will be water sources on the road.

However, the transfer this time was much gentler than what Lin Yutong thought, at least the place where he camped at night was a small village. Lin Yutong and the fourth master were placed in an abandoned cave dwelling in a hometown.

The fourth master greeted Zhong Shan and the others: "Let's rest in the cave tonight, don't worry about it." Then he looked at Lin Yutong, "I think it will probably rain today..."

Lin Yutong understood what the fourth master meant. How could she care about these things? Instead, she pointed to the hay in the cave, "I'm afraid this is the fellow who is going to feed the sheep. It really saved us..."

Bai Yuan followed and cheered, "It's warm on the ground. We're enjoying ourselves tonight. There's no need for the bed in the dormitory."

The benefits of Chang Sheng's training with the Boy Scouts showed up, and he didn't think it was inappropriate at all, and followed Bai Yuan excitedly, "I can shop myself, I'll do it myself." He shouted and went to the haystack to hug him. The hay is spread in the innermost part of the cave, "Mom and dad, go and rest, I'll come!"

So Lin Yutong leaned on his son that night, and the son himself made a bed with hay for his parents and came out.

It really started to rain at night, and many people were still sleeping outside. Lin Yutong was still in a trance when she heard the sound of the rain, but she didn't hear the sound of other people walking around, and she fell asleep again in a daze. The snoring was loud in the cave, and there were always two people standing guard at the door. Therefore, even in such an environment, she slept peacefully.

From this day onwards, it is really home to the world. He has been wandering around in Qinbei. Sometimes it takes three or four days to set off, and sometimes it takes two or three days in a row, and there is no exact time at all. I was not used to it at first, but after half a month, I got used to this kind of wandering. Not only got used to this kind of wandering, but even started to practice medicine on the road. The wounded were transported and treated wherever they went. When you leave, someone will take care of you. The wounded stayed where they were. The fourth master was also used to drawing and checking calculations on the back of the mule. Chang Sheng acted as his dad's mobile desk. He sat in the front and offered his back to the fourth master.

When it's cold, you don't need to wash up, but when it's getting warmer, it's just a torment. Sometimes Lin Yutong is really convinced, the battles in front are victorious, but the rear has basically become mobile.

This whole year, the two brought their children and followed the troops, in such a constant battle. Newspapers are no longer available in time. Sometimes the newspapers I get are from the previous month, and the news is seriously delayed. Apart from knowing where the front was hit, there was basically no other news.

The location of the pharmaceutical factory was finally set in the mountains of Zichang County. This was the news that Lin Yutong only got after it was built. And it was already July. She discussed with the fourth master, "It's not a problem for us to float like this. Otherwise, let's settle down in the pharmaceutical factory."

Fourth Master smiled, "Try to apply and see." The tone was not very optimistic.

I really told him to talk, and the opinion was raised, but it was rejected, and she was still told to follow the headquarters.

Lin Yutong realized only after realizing it, that following the headquarters means following... Some people's health cannot tolerate any surprises. After all, these days are different! She laughed self-deprecatingly and never said inappropriate words again. Do what you order.

During Chinese New Year, I lived in a small village. There is an ancestral hall at the head of the village, which has two houses that can shelter from the wind and rain. Instead, I received a few pounds of white noodles. This is the first time I have seen refined grains since the transfer this year.

How many of these three or five catties of white noodles can be eaten by one person when they are made into dumplings? In fact, everyone tasted the taste, and the remaining half a catty was eaten by Changsheng. I don't know if it's something in Lin Yutong's heart, but I always feel that the stature that has been winning in the past six months is not very long. I don't know if it's because of lack of nutrition.

But even if there are only a few kilograms of white noodles, everyone can only be satisfied. Bai Yuan smacked his lips, as if he was still reminiscing about the delicious taste just now, "Have you heard? Today, the price of grain per tan of rice in the Kuomintang area is 110 million yuan. I remember it was 60,000 yuan at the beginning of the year. This is a long time. How many times? Now we can eat enough."

Lin Yutong just wanted to laugh, it's really over, does Jiang still need to defeat him? You don't have to hit him to fall.

When no one was there, Lin Yutong asked the fourth master, "Do you have to float for another year and a half?"

The fourth master hugged Lin Yutong, and Lin Yutong was frightened and quickly hid, "I have smell on my body." This is really interesting. Taking a bath and washing clothes is like fighting a war, and washing your hair is also a luxury. They were all under everyone's eyes, and Lin Yutong didn't dare to hide in the space. Not to mention these, the two have not been intimate for more than half a year. Not just them, but most couples. At least Lin Yutong had never seen a pregnant woman along the way.

"What are you afraid of, old husband and wife." The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong, who was black and thin, and touched his slightly greasy hair, "How can you get better if you smell me?"

Lin Yutong really smelled it, "Even if you reply to Yanan?" It's more comfortable than this.

As soon as she mentioned Yan'an, Liao Kai came over and said, "...It is imperative to recover Yan'an. Now someone needs to go back and contact Yu Xiaoman. And now Yu Xiaoman can be trusted... Who do you think is suitable?"

Who is suitable? Besides Lin Yutong himself, can anyone find another person?

"I'm going!" Lin Yutong stopped the fourth master with his eyes, not letting him speak. She went alone, in fact, it was safer than the fourth master. "I'm a doctor, and they also need ... even if it fails, life safety is guaranteed."

But the fourth master understood what Lin Yutong meant. When it was really dangerous, the space could keep her safe. And she disapproved of following her. First, it was dangerous. Having more than one self might not be beneficial to her. Second, it was her child. But now on the road, who can entrust such an older child? These things, he knew in the blink of an eye. So he nodded to Liao Kai, "She is indeed the most suitable candidate, there is no one..."

If it was anyone else, Liao Kai would immediately respond. But it was Lin Yutong, "I have to go back and report to the chief." Without the chief's permission, this person cannot be recruited. He didn't dare to call this person the slightest danger.

Who knows that this request is three days. Three days later, Lin Yutong received the notice, lurking back to Yan An, and secretly contacting Yu Xiaoman.

Before leaving, Chang Sheng hugged Lin Yutong and didn't let go, "Mom, you want to come back."

"Where are you and your dad, where can I go if I don't come back?" Lin Yutong hugged the child, "Listen to your dad's words, eat well, and it won't take long for mom to come back."

The fourth master came over and hugged her, "Be careful, be careful. If something doesn't work out, don't force it." You can make it happen if you can, don't be rude.

Lin Yutong naturally understood the implication, she nodded, got on her horse, and left without turning her head.

Yu Xiaoman lives in Yan'an City at this time, and it's not a day or two that she wants to come back here, but the Yan An now is not the Yan An she wants to come back to. Xu is that this place is too special, and Xu is that there are indeed many doubts about himself. Since entering the station in Yan'an, the people around him are bright and dark, and the people who are watching have never stopped. Even contacting He Weihua became difficult. Especially in the past two months, I have completely lost news from the previous liaison. She was a little anxious, not knowing whether the liaison was exposed or had an accident.

Today, she is wandering around Yan'an City again in the name of inspection, and she doesn't know what she is looking for. The streets are no more prosperous than before, and the number of buyers and sellers suddenly decreased, and the market looked extremely depressed. Maybe it's because I have something in my heart, I didn't pay attention when I was walking, I only realized when I bumped into someone, but I don't know whether I bumped into someone else or someone bumped into me. In a conditioned reflex, she went to help the other party first, but when the person raised his head, Yu Xiaoman was stunned.

Lin Yutong, why is she here?

"I'm going, what are you doing?" Peony muttered in a low voice.

"Send you there first, and I'll find a way to go later." Chang Sheng vowed, "If you don't want to stay there, and if you feel bad, you can come back."

"Can you really ask me to go?" Peony sat up and asked, "Can my aunt and uncle agree?"

"My parents and my mother have wanted a girl for a long time. It's too late for you. If you want to go, I will definitely tell you to go first."

Lin Yutong frowned, Chang Sheng must be so careful, but this child's temperament... She can't say whether it is good or bad.

In the following days, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master seemed to have forgotten to send Peony away, and no one mentioned it. Aunt Cui also made new clothes and schoolbags for Peony, and Lin Yutong made a bunch of various head flowers for her with red silk.

Five days have passed, and Lin Yutong came back early in the evening, just in time to make dinner. Peony helped watch the fire in front of the stove, and looked at Lin Yutong secretly from time to time, "Aunt, when do I go to school?"

"Is your cousin's school bad?" Lin Yutong teased.

"Cousin said I can go to Baoyu Yuan." Peony raised her head and looked at Lin Yutong carefully, "Can I go? Auntie."

Lin Yutong smiled and continued busy with his work, "The Baoyuyuan is a little far from our current home. If we can't take care of it, we may not be able to come back from you sometimes in a month. Can you get used to it alone?"

"Yes! I definitely can." Peony stood up immediately, "I can definitely get used to it. When my aunt picks me up when she is free, I will be obedient."

"Then I'll take you there tomorrow." Lin Yutong smiled, "If you can't take care of picking you up in the future, don't worry. I regularly ask people to bring things to you. If you want anything, you can also write to your aunt. If you don't know how to write, you can ask the teacher to write it for you."

Thinking of what to tell her, she finally asked Bai Yuan to take her there, and gave the teacher at the Baoyuyuan the hospital's phone number. If the child doesn't feel comfortable, she will be picked up again.

Chang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh! I finally sent the girl away." Then he pulled Lin Yutong's shirt and whispered, "If she doesn't let me go to Baoyuyuan, maybe I will I can't bear to send her away."

Just a child, it is instinct to like good things. This doesn't mean anything. But Chang Sheng's temperament is really a bit of a thief. Lin Yutong taught him: "Don't always try to test others. If you lose your sincerity first, you can't blame others."

Chang Sheng drooped his face and stopped talking. It took a long time before he said, "I don't like Auntie, who knows if Peony will be the same as Auntie."

So you were on guard from the start?

That night, the fourth master called Chang Sheng to the study. Judging from the drooping corner of the boy's mouth, it didn't look good. Fourth Master is the type who watches him all kinds of jumping, and we will slowly clean up after the jumping is over.

He was so busy that he sent Bai Yuan to pick up Peony twice, but he didn't pick it up. The child was very active, helping the teacher with younger children at school, so refused to come back. Belongs to thinking very progressive children. Lin Yutong was not at ease, and even made a special phone call, but the teacher only praised him, saying that he helped with the meals, washed the dishes, and took the initiative to live in the younger children's dormitory to take care of him every time he had meals. Now he's a captain. What can Lin Yutong say in this situation, with a few polite words, that's all there is to it. Judging from the current situation, as long as this child occupies the ideological progress, plus he is the orphan of a martyr, he will definitely not suffer in the future. For a long period of time, the progress of thought has been an important criterion for judging a person.

This year has passed in this busy atmosphere. Just after the New Year, Fourth Master was frequently called to meetings. Lin Yutong thought it was a military issue again, but when he had time to talk to the fourth master about it, he realized that he was talking about economic issues. The price of goods in the Kuomintang area has skyrocketed by two to three times within a month. "...Many officers participated in the gold speculation, borrowing from banks and speculating, and the price of gold soared to 8.5 million. This price went crazy. come up."

This is all for me, as long as profitable things are swarming up. Lin Yutong figured it out by himself. If he borrowed 1 million from the bank to buy gold, and then sold one-eighth of the gold after the price of gold rose, this part would be enough to pay for the bank's loan. About seven-eighths of the rest are self-earned. That's what the empty-glove white wolf said. And this is not what paper money is earned, but real gold. The central bank's coffers are said to be empty. Losing the public's fat and the private's is just like that. In addition, if there is a way, they try to get their family members to immigrate to the United States. A lot of gold was taken out in this way.

Lin Yutong originally thought that the economy was in such a mess, and at least he wanted Jiang to stay busy for a while. Unexpectedly, three days later, the fourth master got the news from Jaba, Jiang personally went to the west to supervise the war, and deployed Hu Zongnan to attack Yan'an.

"Is this messed up gold case just thrown away?" Lin Yutong, who has always put more emphasis on the economy, couldn't understand this approach.

The fourth master waved his hand: "It's already like this, is there any way to save the economy? If you want to save it, you can use a knife from the root. Are they stupid? Not stupid at all. At best, Song Ziwen, the president of the Executive Yuan, should resign. What else? If they can’t be saved, they should stay on the side first. As long as they win the military, they will deal with it in the same way. It can’t be considered a mistake. They don’t know the current situation…” Therefore, those who can withdraw have withdrawn, and those who are willing to surrender. are down. The war progressed so quickly. "Let's pack up, it's time for us to move." He turned his head to look at the cave, "I'm afraid I won't come back if I leave." Somewhat disappointed.

Only then did Lin Yutong remember that the strategy should be shifted next. As the hospital in the rear, it will definitely be transferred with the headquarters, and the fourth master, as an expert, is bound to transfer with the headquarters for safety.

Before the order came down, Lin Yutong asked Zhong Shan and the others to slaughter all the pigs and chickens raised at home, and it was the most reliable way to eat them.

"Isn't this going to pass?" Fang Yun took the half-pot of meat that Lin Yutong handed over, "What's the happy event?"

What happy event?

Lin Yutong couldn't say anything before the order came. She smiled, thinking about how to answer this, and then she stuttered in the door and said, "Eat what you have...don't ask..."

Come to think of it, he guessed it.

I have lived in a cave for ten years, but there are really not many things that are really useful. In addition to the bedding, the pots and pans of the restaurant, these things are called the guard class to carry, that is. Then there are the clothes, the old clothes are really old, and the old ones can no longer be worn. Ninety percent of Changsheng's old clothes have been given away. After cleaning up, I realized that there was really nothing worth cleaning in this house. Only the fourth master's draft, Lin Yutong took the important ones and quietly put them away, and the rest of the fire was all set on fire.

What worries Lin Yutong is the relocation of the pharmaceutical factory. Where should the new factory be located? This is a big problem.

Before Lin Yutong came out, on the night of March 18th, the order came down, you can pack up and transfer!

My own things are packed up, but hospitals and pharmaceutical factories are not so fast to pack up, plus students, it will take a few days. Lin Yutong was about to go to the hospital, but Fang Yun came over, "The order is for you to go first, please execute the order."

How does this work?

Fang Yun stopped Lin Yutong from exporting, "As long as you are here, the hospital and the pharmaceutical factory will be there. Therefore, you are the core and the most valuable asset of our hospital and pharmaceutical factory. The rest is up to me and President An, who will go out. No mistake."

"Where's An An?" Lin Yutong didn't hold back any longer and asked the child's arrangements first.

"Follow his dad." Fang Yun said stuttering, "The child follows him, I have to follow the hospital and watch these students."

Taking the child on the road, Lin Yutong felt a headache just thinking about it. Just thinking about what to do with Peony, Bai Yuan got the news, saying that there is a special person in Bao'an County to protect, and Baoyuyuan is very safe. Lin Yutong was relieved, and woke up the sleepy Chang Sheng, who was on his way. Because of the large amount of luggage to bring, the horses are no longer suitable. There were several mules at the door. Chang Sheng didn't dare to ride a horse, but he wasn't afraid of mules. After picking up the tall one, he hurriedly leaned over, scaring Lin Yutong enough. This mule is still different from a mule. A mule born from a male donkey and a mare is called a mule. This kind of mule is tall and mighty in appearance, but it is also not docile in temperament. Only a mule born from a male horse and a female donkey is the most docile. It just doesn't look tall. This kind of mule still has advantages as a means of transportation. Of course, children don't know what's going on here, thinking that all mules can be ridden on their backs at will.

The Fourth Master called Chang Sheng aside, spread the knowledge to him, and pointed at the mule: "...you read the Red Mansion, and in the Red Mansion, there was a Xue Pan who appeared on the stage, saying that he rode a big iron-green walking mule. It's a mule..."

Lin Yutong: "..." Quote from scriptures. It really doesn't work on its own. Who can remember such details.

In Qin Bei in March, the temperature at night is about seven or eight degrees. During the coldest time period, it can reach five degrees, which is still a bit cold. The fourth master rode on the mule, put Chang Sheng in front of him, and tied the child to him with a sheet, then wrapped the coat and wrapped Chang Sheng in his arms. Then he turned to look at Lin Yutong, who was checking his luggage, "It's almost done, let's go." He had already started to pack up, and there was nothing important even if he left.

Lin Yutong stood at the door and looked in again, "That place has to panic this year." It's a pity that this lot has been turned over. The seeds were sown.

No matter how reluctant it is, when it's time to go, you have to go. Along the way, I met many fellow travelers, but none of them could see who was who. In addition to marching at night, try not to disturb the people, so the road is quiet.

Lin Yutong was riding on a mule, but he didn't walk fast, the road was narrow, and he couldn't walk side by side with the fourth master. Zhongshan Baiyun and the others were walking, closely following behind. The fourth master had to look back from time to time to make sure Lin Yutong was all right, and then he turned around again. If you can't see the road clearly at night, you are afraid of falling into a ditch. Of course, they were able to get four mules, which was already a special consideration. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master have one head, and the other two have to carry so many people's luggage, which is much better than others. The number of horses is limited, let alone the car. It is said that there are only two jeeps, one for each of the No. 1 and No. 2 chiefs, and they have left calmly.

After turning over one mountain ridge after another, a little fish maw white appeared on the horizon. At this time, people walked into the ditch between the two mountain beams, and the team stopped to repair. Si Ye didn't move on the mule, waved to Lin Yutong, and pointed to Chang Sheng in his arms. This means that the child was sleeping soundly.

But no matter how much you sleep, you can't just stay still. At least have to go to the toilet is not.

Lin Yutong unbuttoned his coat, transferred Chang Sheng into his arms, and sat on the mound by the roadside, "You go to activities..." His legs must be stiff, and his feet are going numb.

Along the road, people in twos and threes were sitting back-to-back, and without much effort, snoring sounded one after another in the camp. Lin Yutong didn't dislike being dirty either. He fell to the ground, hugged Chang Sheng, and fell asleep just like that. The fourth master turned around and came back, seeing this mother and daughter like this, there is no reason not to feel distressed. I had to pick up the firewood and rise up by the side, afraid that I would freeze if I fell asleep like this.

The day is bright, and this temporary repair is over. Gotta cook again. At this time, Chang Sheng really woke up. The uncomfortable sleep didn't seem to affect his energy, and he was curious about everything. Follow Bai Yuan to pick up firewood, and follow Zhong Shan to learn to make a fire in the wild to cook.

Occasionally cooking in the wild, that's a picnic. But on the march, it was no pleasure. When the rice was half-cooked in the pot, the whistle sounded to prepare for departure. A bowl of half-cooked rice per person, eat it when you bring it up. The wind picked up and the soil blew into the bowl, and no one really cared. Lin Yutong touched an egg that had been prepared a long time ago and gave it to Chang Sheng to eat. The fourth master drank the rice soup, and of course the half-cooked Mi Lin Yutong did not dare to ask the fourth master to eat it. He handed over his bowl, and then took the remaining bowl of the fourth master. The remaining unblooming millet in the bowl was quietly poured into the space by her. Outside, no matter how mature the meal is, it cannot be wasted.

Changsheng can't get enough of an egg at all. The pancakes prepared earlier can only be eaten while riding on a mule. Eating pancakes is easy to choking and thirsty, but the water on the road is extremely precious. There was a water source in the camping place just now, and no one just filled a pitcher of water. This water should be drunk sparingly. It’s not that I can’t stand it, but I’m reluctant to take a sip. Especially this kind of transfer, I don't know where it will go and where the destination will be. No one knows if there will be water sources on the road.

However, the transfer this time was much gentler than what Lin Yutong thought, at least the place where he camped at night was a small village. Lin Yutong and the fourth master were placed in an abandoned cave dwelling in a hometown.

The fourth master greeted Zhong Shan and the others: "Let's rest in the cave tonight, don't worry about it." Then he looked at Lin Yutong, "I think it will probably rain today..."

Lin Yutong understood what the fourth master meant. How could she care about these things? Instead, she pointed to the hay in the cave, "I'm afraid this is the fellow who is going to feed the sheep. It really saved us..."

Bai Yuan followed and cheered, "It's warm on the ground. We're enjoying ourselves tonight. There's no need for the bed in the dormitory."

The benefits of Chang Sheng's training with the Boy Scouts showed up, and he didn't think it was inappropriate at all, and followed Bai Yuan excitedly, "I can shop myself, I'll do it myself." He shouted and went to the haystack to hug him. The hay is spread in the innermost part of the cave, "Mom and dad, go and rest, I'll come!"

So Lin Yutong leaned on his son that night, and the son himself made a bed with hay for his parents and came out.

It really started to rain at night, and many people were still sleeping outside. Lin Yutong was still in a trance when she heard the sound of the rain, but she didn't hear the sound of other people walking around, and she fell asleep again in a daze. The snoring was loud in the cave, and there were always two people standing guard at the door. Therefore, even in such an environment, she slept peacefully.

From this day onwards, it is really home to the world. He has been wandering around in Qinbei. Sometimes it takes three or four days to set off, and sometimes it takes two or three days in a row, and there is no exact time at all. I was not used to it at first, but after half a month, I got used to this kind of wandering. Not only got used to this kind of wandering, but even started to practice medicine on the road. The wounded were transported and treated wherever they went. When you leave, someone will take care of you. The wounded stayed where they were. The fourth master was also used to drawing and checking calculations on the back of the mule. Chang Sheng acted as his dad's mobile desk. He sat in the front and offered his back to the fourth master.

When it's cold, you don't need to wash up, but when it's getting warmer, it's just a torment. Sometimes Lin Yutong is really convinced, the battles in front are victorious, but the rear has basically become mobile.

This whole year, the two brought their children and followed the troops, in such a constant battle. Newspapers are no longer available in time. Sometimes the newspapers I get are from the previous month, and the news is seriously delayed. Apart from knowing where the front was hit, there was basically no other news.

The location of the pharmaceutical factory was finally set in the mountains of Zichang County. This was the news that Lin Yutong only got after it was built. And it was already July. She discussed with the fourth master, "It's not a problem for us to float like this. Otherwise, let's settle down in the pharmaceutical factory."

Fourth Master smiled, "Try to apply and see." The tone was not very optimistic.

I really told him to talk, and the opinion was raised, but it was rejected, and she was still told to follow the headquarters.

Lin Yutong realized only after realizing it, that following the headquarters means following... Some people's health cannot tolerate any surprises. After all, these days are different! She laughed self-deprecatingly and never said inappropriate words again. Do what you order.

During Chinese New Year, I lived in a small village. There is an ancestral hall at the head of the village, which has two houses that can shelter from the wind and rain. Instead, I received a few pounds of white noodles. This is the first time I have seen refined grains since the transfer this year.

How many of these three or five catties of white noodles can be eaten by one person when they are made into dumplings? In fact, everyone tasted the taste, and the remaining half a catty was eaten by Changsheng. I don't know if it's something in Lin Yutong's heart, but I always feel that the stature that has been winning in the past six months is not very long. I don't know if it's because of lack of nutrition.

But even if there are only a few kilograms of white noodles, everyone can only be satisfied. Bai Yuan smacked his lips, as if he was still reminiscing about the delicious taste just now, "Have you heard? Today, the price of grain per tan of rice in the Kuomintang area is 110 million yuan. I remember it was 60,000 yuan at the beginning of the year. This is a long time. How many times? Now we can eat enough."

Lin Yutong just wanted to laugh, it's really over, does Jiang still need to defeat him? You don't have to hit him to fall.

When no one was there, Lin Yutong asked the fourth master, "Do you have to float for another year and a half?"

The fourth master hugged Lin Yutong, and Lin Yutong was frightened and quickly hid, "I have smell on my body." This is really interesting. Taking a bath and washing clothes is like fighting a war, and washing your hair is also a luxury. They were all under everyone's eyes, and Lin Yutong didn't dare to hide in the space. Not to mention these, the two have not been intimate for more than half a year. Not just them, but most couples. At least Lin Yutong had never seen a pregnant woman along the way.

"What are you afraid of, old husband and wife." The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong, who was black and thin, and touched his slightly greasy hair, "How can you get better if you smell me?"

Lin Yutong really smelled it, "Even if you reply to Yanan?" It's more comfortable than this.

As soon as she mentioned Yan'an, Liao Kai came over and said, "...It is imperative to recover Yan'an. Now someone needs to go back and contact Yu Xiaoman. And now Yu Xiaoman can be trusted... Who do you think is suitable?"

Who is suitable? Besides Lin Yutong himself, can anyone find another person?

"I'm going!" Lin Yutong stopped the fourth master with his eyes, not letting him speak. She went alone, in fact, it was safer than the fourth master. "I'm a doctor, and they also need ... even if it fails, life safety is guaranteed."

But the fourth master understood what Lin Yutong meant. When it was really dangerous, the space could keep her safe. And she disapproved of following her. First, it was dangerous. Having more than one self might not be beneficial to her. Second, it was her child. But now on the road, who can entrust such an older child? These things, he knew in the blink of an eye. So he nodded to Liao Kai, "She is indeed the most suitable candidate, there is no one..."

If it was anyone else, Liao Kai would immediately respond. But it was Lin Yutong, "I have to go back and report to the chief." Without the chief's permission, this person cannot be recruited. He didn't dare to call this person the slightest bit too easily.
