Break out of the courtyard

Monday, December 1966, 12, was sunny.

After being away from home for more than a month, Zhang Heping returned home without saying anything, hid the bullets, took a bath, and then lay down on the kang in the main room and fell asleep.

Five days ago, a large group of Tang Xin's brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece suddenly came to the villa.

Her eldest and second brothers are older than Zhang Heping’s parents!

The key point is that her two brothers both have three or four concubines, and each house has many children. The appearance of a large family coming to force the marriage frightened Zhang Heping into climbing over the wall and running away overnight.

Otherwise, he would have to stay with Tang Xinwen for a few days before leaving.

Tang Xin is 23 years old this year. From the perspective of Zhang Heping's uncle's soul, she is a perfect little girl, whom she likes very much.

In Tang Xin's eyes, Zhang Heping was only 16 years old, and she, who was 7 years older, was like an old cow eating young grass, shy and in love.

It's just that the world is far apart and bad luck...

After dinner was served, Zhang Heping was called up by his mother Ma Xiuzhen to eat.

The second sister, Zhang Pandi, had obvious pregnancy symptoms. Zhang Heping took her pulse and found that there was no problem during the three-month pregnancy.

Mother Ma Xiuzhen waited for her son Zhang Heping to finish eating, then asked Zhang Heping to take her on a bicycle. First, she went to her eldest cousin Ma Lili, who was more than 5 months pregnant, to have her pulse checked. Then she went to the family building of Capital Station to feel the pulse of her eldest sister, Zhang Zhaodi, who was 8 months pregnant. Take a pulse.

Except for the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi who has gained a lot of weight and needs to exercise moderately, there are no other problems and she does not need to take medicine.

Early the next morning, Zhang Heping rode a bicycle with fishing gear and asked Zhao Jianguo to go fishing together.

On the ice of Kunming Lake, Zhao Jianguo whispered about the current situation... He Zijiang and some classmates were out of luck!

In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Heping asked Zhao Jianguo to bring two sacks of fish back, so that people in their compound could eat fish for free.

Zhang Heping himself only kept three big fish to supplement nutrition for his three sisters, and gave the rest to the sub-district offices on both sides.

On the third day, Zhang Heping summoned 45 old classmates to Kunming Lake on the pretext of rehearsing singing and dancing.

Those 18 ordinary students all took refuge in Dongcheng because Wang Wei failed to fulfill his promise to renew his certificate.

45 old classmates are here, but the classmates on Liu Yuan's side and the classmates on He Zijiang's side are clearly distinct and do not speak to each other.

Zhang Heping didn't say much and let them rehearse on the ice while he cut the ice and fished.

At noon, everyone gathered dead branches to light the fire, and everyone had a fish to grill and eat.

When they went back in the afternoon, each of them took one or two fish with them. Only He Zijiang and the others took them home hidden in their clothes, while Zhang Heping still sent them to the street office openly in a sack.

After rehearsing like this for three days, Liu Yuan and He Zijiang slowly started to communicate.

Two days later, after Zhang Heping saw that the relationship between the two classmates had eased a lot, he stopped rehearsing for the time being.

After five days of rehearsals, Zhang Heping deduced the location of Tang Xin's parents by insinuations from He Zijiang's classmates.

On December 12, Zhang Heping went for a walk in the north. When he came back, he started collecting materials to make a high-power bamboo telescope.

On New Year's Day 1967, Zhang Heping's 17th birthday.

After eating an egg and a bowl of shredded pork noodles, he took a homemade telescope and dried meat in a sack and rode to the north mountain to observe the people working down the mountain.

……

January 1967, 1, Friday night.

Zhang Heping came to Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong Island again, but Tang Xin was not at home. Aunt Li called Tang Xin's eldest brother's house and called Tang Xin back.

The woman was extremely happy and ran back to the villa. When she saw Zhang Heping sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, she rushed over to her. Zhang Heping was so frightened that he quickly got up and hugged her, spinning around half a circle to relieve his strength.

"Be careful, eh..."

Before Zhang Heping could finish expressing his concern, Tang Xin bit him.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

"Dear, I miss you so much!" Tang Xin put her arms around Zhang Heping's neck and wrapped her long legs around his back and waist, hanging on Zhang Heping like a sloth.

"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are not here!" Zhang Heping glanced at the outside of the villa with a guilty conscience. A black classic car was driving out of the yard.

Tang Xin smiled and kissed Zhang Heping, "No! I told them your age, and they all laughed at me for eating young grass, hehe..."

"Then go back to the bedroom and let me see how much you miss me." Zhang Heping held Tang Xin's hips and walked upstairs quickly, carrying his luggage bag.

After a brief taste, the two warmed up for a while, and then Zhang Heping talked about Tang Xin's parents.

At the end, Zhang Heping asked Tang Xin to bring a sketchbook, and he drew on the spot the high walls and houses at the foot of the mountain, as well as the scenes of Tang Xin's parents working respectively. Tang Xin burst into tears when she saw it... Her parents had never suffered such hardship in their rich lives. Kind of difficult.

"I saw that milk trucks drive in every week. Their food should not be bad." Zhang Heping comforted him and went straight to the topic:

"The main problem now is that there are people watching you one-on-one 24 hours a day! How can I tell them about your return to Hong Kong Island so that they have no worries and can persist until the day you are released."

"Also, have your eldest brother and second brother thought of a solution?"

After hearing this, Tang Xin hurriedly wiped away her tears, put on her pajamas and went to the second floor. She quickly brought back an unfinished memoir that her stinking father was planning to use for his autobiography.

"Dear, when my parents secretly resisted Japan in the Magic City, they used this method to communicate safety to each other. If they could see this, they should be able to think of me or the other party." Tang Xin finished speaking, leaning on Zhang Heping , and said with some frustration:

"My brother asked many people, and those people were afraid of being implicated; if it weren't for you, we still wouldn't know where our parents are."

"Let me take a look first..." Zhang Heping quickly glanced at the text that Tang Xin pointed at, and then turned to the first page of the memoir.

After he read it through, he had a plan in mind.

In the dead of night, Tang Xin fell asleep beside her. Zhang Heping felt her pulse and frowned slightly.

The next day, Zhang Heping prescribed anti-fetal medicine to Tang Xin and asked Aunt Li to buy the medicine. Zhang Heping cooked the first pot of the medicine himself.

As a result, this little woman acted coquettishly and refused to drink. Zhang Heping agreed to several unequal treaties and promised to come and see her when he had the opportunity before letting her drink.

The two of them stayed together all day long...

At night, under Tang Xin's reluctant eyes, Zhang Heping left a meal plan and disappeared into the night.

On the way back, Zhang Heping could often hear gunshots in the distance, especially when he arrived at the Magic City Station.

Listening to the comments from the surrounding tourists, it seems that the army is maintaining law and order.

In this way, the situation of He Zijiang and the others should be much better.

On the afternoon of January 1, Zhang Heping returned home after five days and four nights. As soon as he put down his luggage, his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, took him to his eldest sister's place.

Zhang Heping checked the pulse of his eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi in the financial office of Capital Station and admitted her to the railway hospital that day.

As a result, Zhang Zhaodi gave birth to a girl named Chang Wen on New Year's Eve, February 2.

There will be no holidays for the New Year this year... Zhang Heping deliberately asked his eldest sister to be hospitalized and rest early.

During this period of time, Zhang Heping did not dare to go north again, because he did something on the night of the 29th last month, and many people ambush there the next day, trying to catch him as the instigator.

By the way, Zhang Heping didn't do anything big.

He just followed Tang Xin's father's memoirs, using hanging crosses to convey safety, and brought disaster to the hillside north of the labor site.

Zhang Heping's method was also simple. He cut down the trees on the slope at night and used the trunks and branches to build a large cross shape on the snow slope.

Then use a dozen convex lenses made of ice and some match heads, gunpowder and other flammable materials to make a delayed combustion device.

During the day on the 30th, a striking cross shape was burned on the hillside.

The reason why he made such a big fuss was because Tang Xin's father was short-sighted.

New Year's Eve.

After Zhang Heping prepared the meals at his home in No. 7 Yard, he wrapped each hot lunch box in a quilt core, then tied it on the back seat of his bicycle and took it to the railway hospital. Together with his parents, second sister, and others, they guarded the eldest sister and the eldest sister on the bed. The niece and the Chang family nearby had a lively New Year's Eve dinner.
