"On the eve of liberation, my father and mother took me, then two years old, to open a grain store in Taipei City, actually doing underground work there.
Their mission at the time was to contact the underground party lurking in the national army and persuade Commander Xie, who was defending the city at the time, to revolt.
At that time, Commander Xie had already agreed to the uprising and had also agreed on the specific time for the uprising.
Commander Xie had a staff officer who was a spy planted by the Military Control Commission. He may have noticed that the situation was suspicious.
The report was given to Ma Zhanshan, then director of the Taipei Military Control Station, who frequently visited the military camp to inspect the work.
He sent people to follow my father and tracked him to the grain store we ran. In fact, he had no evidence to prove that my father was an underground party member.
He arrested my father and tortured him severely on the grounds that there was something wrong with the grain he resold to the army. My father never admitted that he was an underground party member.
He sent his men disguised as gangsters to capture my mother, intending to use my mother and me to threaten my father.
Without evidence, he didn't dare to arrest us openly, so he sent a few thugs to cause trouble, intending to use this method to capture us, mother and son.
When Mr. He learned about the situation, he sent someone to beat up the hooligans and drive them out, and then took my mother and me to his home.
Ma Zhanshan went to negotiate with Mr. He, but Mr. He refused him on the grounds that he was arresting people without any evidence. He also put pressure on Ma Zhanshan, demanding that my father be released. If Ma Zhanshan did not agree to the release, he would appeal to the Ministry of National Defense.
Ma Zhanshan knew that Mr. He had been doing business for so many years and had a strong background, including the support of the Ministry of National Defense, so he verbally agreed to release my father, but actually planned to execute him secretly.
Mr. He learned the news through the underground party lurking in the Military Control Commission and planned to use a large sum of money to redeem the person. Because the situation was urgent at the time and the organization had limited funds, it could not come up with so much money in a short time.
Mr. He used his family's private property to bribe the military officer in charge of executing the death penalty and replaced my father with a death row prisoner.
After rescuing my father, Mr. He sent our family to the liberated area overnight.
My father had a broken leg and was in very poor health. It took him nearly a year to recover, but his physical condition was far worse than before. Whenever it rained or was cloudy, he would feel pain all over his body.
Due to Ma Zhanshan's sabotage, the uprising was forced to be advanced. Although there were some minor setbacks, it was still successful. When Ma Zhanshan was arrested, he fled Taipei in a hurry.
Before escaping, Ma Zhanshan shot a large number of underground party members. This executioner owes a lot of blood debts. He must be brought to justice to give an explanation to the martyrs.
After Xiao Yihan finished recounting this past, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the clenching became tighter and tighter. Chu Jingqiu gently grasped his hands, letting him slowly relax.
Xiao Yihan held Chu Jingqiu's hand and led her forward.
Chu Jingqiu seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "I know who you are. My grandfather once told me that Grandpa Xiao's eldest son was a hero and that he couldn't yield even under severe torture.
You are Grandpa Xiao's genius grandson, Brother Maomao, Commander Xiao of the compound, right?"
Xiao Yihan smiled and said, "He is Commander Xiao's grandson, that's right. How come he also added a genius to his name?"
"Grandpa Xiao always brags to my grandpa about his grandson Maomao, what a genius he is. He's so amazing." Chu Jingqiu teased him with a smile, "Isn't your name Maomao? Why is it Xiao Yihan? I'll call you Brother Maomao from now on!"
After saying that, she giggled. Xiao Yihan scratched her nose and said with a smile: "That's my nickname. You are really naughty. But I like whatever your name is."
Chu Jingqiu felt that this man looked very cold, but he was actually a reserved and flirtatious person who was quite good at flirting.
"I've only heard of him before, but never seen him. Now that I've seen him in person, I realize that his reputation truly lives up to his reputation. Not only is he smart, he's also very handsome. The genius boy from Grandpa Xiao's family now belongs to me." Chu Jingqiu smiled proudly.
Xiao Yihan looked at the beautiful girl who was pouting and looking smug, and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead.
Chu Jingqiu first covered her forehead shyly, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Yihan on the cheek.
Qi Yue looked up inadvertently and saw this scene, then grinned secretly in the car.
This kiss came as a surprise. The soft and moist lips pressed a kiss on his face. Xiao Yihan was stunned by the sudden surprise. He covered his face, smiled, and got into the car with his heels as if stepping on cotton.
Until the girl's figure waving goodbye to them could no longer be seen, Xiao Yihan was still covering his face and smiling foolishly.
Qi Yue felt that his cousin was too stupid to bear looking at. He waved his hands in front of Xiao Yihan's eyes, "Brother...Brother...my soul has been seduced away by Chu Zhiqing. Come back! Come back!"
Xiao Yihan calmed down, shook off Qi Yue's hand, and returned to his normal cold demeanor.
When I returned to the educated youth site, I heard the branch secretary Du Jianguo arranging some village work on the loudspeaker.
Finally, Chu Jingqiu was specially praised on the loudspeaker for her significant contribution to the Public Security Bureau in catching human traffickers, for which she was commended by the government and named an advanced educated youth. The villagers were also asked to learn from her.
Everyone knew that Chu Jingqiu had been awarded, and the sisters were all happy for her.
Hu Mingyue said nothing. In fact, she had a gloomy face these days, as if she was unhappy as if someone owed her a few hundred dollars.
It is inevitable to feel a little jealous when seeing others being commended by their superiors and being rated as advanced.
Qin Yilan was extremely jealous, but she didn't show it on the surface. She just used too much force when washing clothes and ruined a piece of clothing.
The old branch secretary Du Jianguo was particularly happy. Chu Zhiqing was so capable at such a young age, and it was a pride for their Qingshan Brigade.
After Yu Fugui was taken away, the Qingshan Brigade was short of a team leader, and the township has been looking for a candidate for the team leader in the past few days.
There are two main surnames in Qingshan Brigade, one is Du and the other is Yu. The Yu family is eager to fill the position with their own surname.
There are now two candidates, one is deputy secretary Du Zhan Sheng and the other is accountant Yu Shujie.
The election of the team leader was held at 8 o'clock in the morning in the threshing ground. Since most villagers were illiterate, each person was given a soybean.
It was also the first time that Chu Jingqiu saw this kind of election method. She saw two people sitting on the rostrum with their backs to the rostrum.
There was a large bowl behind each person, placed on the podium behind them.
The villagers automatically lined up, and each of them was given a soybean. Everyone threw the soybean in their hand into the bowl of their favorite candidate.
Chu Jingqiu asked them who they planned to vote for. Zhang Pingping said, "These two people usually have a good reputation in the village. You can choose either one or neither. If you don't know them well, you can carefully choose to abstain."
When it was the four of them's turn to vote, Chu Jingqiu thought about it and didn't throw the soybeans into the bowl. She felt that she didn't understand it and should be cautious. The other girls didn't vote either.
