"Go to Shiliupu... Forget it, let's go to the old pier."

got out of the car. "Miss Zhou, put this and this on"

"Then don't call me Miss Zhou, call me Zhou Xuan." Zhou Xuan put on the large sunglasses and cap that Tang Hua handed over.

The two walked slowly in the broken alleys of the slums.

"Little child, did you cry today?"

"Whether all friends have left, leaving loneliness that cannot be taken away"

Seeing the children in rags walking through the shanty town, Zhou Xuan suddenly thought about it.

Seeing Zhou Xuan humming uncontrollably, Tang Hua smiled.

"Come on, let's keep going." After Zhou Xuan distributed the food to the children passing by, Tang Hua took Zhou Xuan's hand and continued to walk deep.

"Shall we stop here?" After a while, Zhou Xuan asked suspiciously.There were no little beggars here, but Tang Hua sat down beside a small pile of wooden boxes and stones.

"Zhou Xuan, look there." Tang Hua pointed in one direction.

There was only one slow-moving adult there.He may be in his 20s, but his back is slightly bent, his right hand and left ankle are wrapped in thick white cloth, and there are some scars on his face.It was very difficult to move, but the man leaned on a cane and moved step by step, moving some coal from the door into his shed.

"He is that child." Tang Hua said.

"he?"

"Everyone was once a child, and everyone lived in his heart as a child," Tang Hua said slowly, "You also have a child in your heart. Now, please look into his heart, find that child, Then sing this song to him. Sing it to him, but also to yourself in your heart."

Zhou Xuan opened her mouth slightly, staring intently at the scene that Tang Hua showed him, trying to understand what she just said.

"Little child, did you cry today?"

"Whether all friends have left, leaving loneliness that cannot be taken away"

"My dear child, why won't you let me see clearly"

"Whether the wind blows out the candle, walk alone in the dark"

"Dear child, dry your tears quickly"

"I am willing to accompany you on your way home"

Tang Hua put the guitar aside and played the soundtrack gently with the harmonica.

The golden voice of Shanghai Bund, the queen of sweet songs, am I going to force her transformation?

late at night.

"Vice Chairman Zhou!" Wang Ruofei walked into the office quickly, "This is a new statement issued by the government this afternoon, regarding the CPPCC, the peaceful founding of the country, and the conditions for the disarmament of the two parties are all very different from the draft we negotiated with before. "

"This is a plan to see you with a dagger." After reading the statement and the briefing, Vice Chairman Zhou frowned, "Ruofei, this matter requires you to return to Yan'an and convene a special meeting of the Politburo and the Military Commission to determine our future policies. , Prepare for the worst. I'll draft a secret message right now."

"I think the same, but now there is a problem," Wang Ruofei said. "I contacted the US military liaison officer 10 minutes ago. It is very strange. On April 4 and 7, Chongqing could not transfer US military transport planes for our use. If Deng Fa and I should rush back to Yan'an, or wait until after April 8. If we choose to go back on the 4th, then we will take off at 9 am."

"The national government should be making a large-scale military mobilization." Vice Chairman Zhou said, "Preparing for an all-out war. Our time is very tight. If we return on the 9th, we will lose three days of time in our hands. Ruofei, you Prepare to leave with Deng Fa and Bang Xian. I will sleep late tonight and write down my opinions. Please bring them to Yan’an and read them out for me at the meeting.”

Wang Ruofei immediately went back to prepare.Vice Chairman Zhou sat back at his desk, spread out the letterhead to write a telegram and his own meeting report, and remembered another thing.

Vice Chairman Zhou picked up the phone receiver.

"Comrade Ye Ting?"

"I called you so late because of an accident. The original plan to fly back to Yan'an on April 4 has changed."

"...If you want to leave earlier, then you have to catch the US military plane at 11 am tomorrow; if you don't hurry, you may have to postpone it to April 4 or 9."

"Vice Chairman Zhou, you don't need to do multiple-choice questions." The voice on the phone became very loud because of his excitement, "Even if I return to Yan'an an hour earlier, it is enough to make me feel excited. I can't wait, I will come back tomorrow." Get on the plane at 11."

"Okay, then you and Xiuwen may have to work hard. You may have to pack up all night, and the children must also do their jobs. We will be away for a few months."

4 month 6 day.

Chongqing Baishiyi Airport.

After checking the plane, the US ground crew started the engine.In the swiftly blowing air, Wang Ruofei, Ye Ting, Deng Fa, Qin Bangxian and Vice Chairman Zhou talked for the last time on the runway, handed over the documents, and then boarded the plane one by one.On the plane, Ye Ting's wife and children had already boarded the plane, and the youngest Ah Jiu had already fallen asleep in Li Xiuwen's arms. The whole family is very busy rushing to Baishiyi Airport on the highway.

Qin Bangxian sat at the front and had a few conversations with the American pilots.

"What did the American pilot say?" Wang Ruofei asked.

"They said that a comprehensive overhaul will be done first when they come back from this trip," Qin Bangxian said, "He said that there will be a large number of airlift tasks on the 7th and 8th, and he will make three round trips from Chongqing to Shanghai in these two days. I asked him Transporting troops or military supplies, he replied, the ball, it must be the state officials who are reselling supplies, this is not the first time!"

"Ah, before Vice Chairman Zhou speculated that they were making military transfers, it seems wrong!" Wang Ruofei said.

"Ruofei, didn't Mr. Huang get on the plane?" Ye Ting asked.

"My uncle, his body is not as strong as yours. It was too urgent to rush back this time, so I didn't inform him." Wang Ruofei said.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to returning home now!" Ye Ting laughed.

The C-47 started slowly, gliding several hundred meters on the runway and then rose into the sky.

……

Yan'an, Dongguan Airport.

At 1:47 p.m., the C-2 stopped in Xi'an before taking off.The news of the safe take-off was notified to Yan'an by telegram.From [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the chairman, commander-in-chief, Ren Bishi, Lin Boqu and others came to the airport and waited for the plane to appear.Qin Bangxian's wife, Zhang Yuexia, also brought her nephew to the airport.

Time passed by every minute and every second. At noon, the last thick cloud over Dongguan Airport disappeared, and the sky in Yan'an is now clear.

At 2:40, the figure of C-47 appeared in the distant sky!

After circling for a week, aiming at the runway, the C-47 began to land.When it was about to stop, a pit on the runway caused the plane to jump suddenly, and everyone's hearts suddenly hung.Fortunately, there was no accident. The pilot swung the tail lightly, and the plane came to a steady stop.

The cabin door opened, and Ye Ting walked out of the cabin first.

Seeing the crowd at Yan'an Airport, Ye Ting burst into tears instantly.

Walking down the gangway, Ye Ting strode towards the crowd with the steps of a soldier, saluting in front of the chairman and commander-in-chief.

"I, Ye Ting, have returned to the revolutionary ranks!"
