When I got off the bus at noon, thankfully I only felt a little nauseous. Didn't you see someone vomiting so badly? That child almost threw up bile! I couldn't look, I couldn't look, or I'd feel nauseous too. I quickly turned around to look at the commune compound, which was just a two-story red brick house.
Just then, I saw a slightly older man walk over. He said his surname was Zhang and his name was Zhang Changfa. I knew this was the Uncle Zhang that Uncle Shen had mentioned. Earlier in the county town, I saw police officers on duty, but one of them was talking with several leaders. That must have been Director Zhou.
Just a few hours earlier, the county public security bureau chief was indeed there. He had observed the educated youth whom the old leader had specifically asked him to take care of. When he saw the little child in the crowd, he was particularly shocked, not because of his young age, but because when the child got off the train, he was carrying a large backpack and two large duffel bags by himself. He was almost startled. The child was really strong.
Knowing that the child's parents were both soldiers, and that he'd heard they were exceptionally skilled, and seeing the child's gait and impeccable military posture, he felt reassured. This wasn't a delicate little girl; this was a soldier. What was there to worry about? As soon as the educated youth left, he called his old superior and said, "Commander, don't worry. This isn't a delicate girl at all; this is a soldier who has served for many years."
You read that right.
"No mistake, of all the educated youth who came today, she's the youngest, and also the strongest. Don't worry, as long as she doesn't bully others, I don't think anyone will dare to bully her."
"That's true, but the child is still too young. Old Li and Comrade Liu only have this one son, so you'd better take good care of her. Oh, and if she's really as old as you said, when she reaches the age, ask her if she'd like to join the army. If she does, I'll get her here with me."
"Okay, I understand, old chief."
"When you have time, talk to the people down there and ask them to take good care of her."
"Don't worry, we've already figured it out. By the way, old leader, the secretary of her commune is a retired veteran, and he received instructions from his former superior to take care of the child. He's assigned to her brigade. I heard that the brigade leader was rescued on the spot by this Commander Li."
"I know about this, but I'm worried there might be some who don't understand, so please keep an eye on things."
"yes"
After hearing Secretary Zhang's speech, we heard, "Next, whoever's name I call, that person goes to that brigade."
"Bai Chuanyang, Cai Wendi, Cao Shanshan... Xiangyang Brigade"
...
"Chen Enpeng, Chen Junjie, and Li Mianmian, the three of you go to the Gujiawaizi Brigade."
...
"Alright, all brigades, come and collect your men."
Then I saw the leaders of each brigade standing next to the oxcart, with a sign in front of them displaying the brigade's name. I quickly picked up the two large pieces of luggage from the ground and went over.
Zhang Changfa would leave after each roll call, but this time he didn't. Instead, he saw a small child carrying a backpack almost as tall as herself on her back, two large bags in each hand, and a crossbody bag. She moved like a mountain to the oxcart of Captain Gu Jiawaizi. He was quite surprised, but then he thought about how strong she was; she could easily eat her fill, and anyone who wanted to do something to her would have to think twice, right? So he felt relieved.
Gu Zhengrong was also very surprised. The young comrade who walked towards him like a mountain was actually his benefactor's only child. He couldn't believe it. He quickly went over and took one of the child's bags, saying, "Young comrade, let me help you."
"No need, comrade, this is a bit heavy, I'll do it myself."
"It's alright, let's quickly put our luggage in the car, it's not close to the brigade from here."
"Alright then, thank you, comrade."
"You're welcome," he said, taking the luggage from the child's hands. He almost strained his back; it was indeed heavy. However, having worked in the fields for years, he could manage. The backpack must have weighed at least a hundred pounds. But considering the child's strength, as long as he was willing to work hard in the brigade, he should have enough to eat. Of course, with such strength, his appetite must be large, right? He'd heard the child received a subsidy, which should be enough. If not, he could secretly supplement the amount himself.
Chen Enpeng and Chen Junjie, carrying their luggage, saw a mountain pass by. Only after they put their luggage in the car did they realize the other person was a girl, and a very young one at that. They were quite shocked. This little girl is incredibly strong! If she punched them, they'd be crippled, if not killed. Just thinking about it was terrifying. They decided it was best not to offend her in the future.
This is exactly the result I wanted. There's no point in hiding my strength; sometimes, being strong is a kind of power, isn't it? At least it can keep some people in check. I don't have time to waste on their nonsense. If there's anyone foolish enough to mess around, I'll just give them a good beating. Besides, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child; I know exactly where to hit someone without leaving a mark. Even if they come looking for trouble, I won't be afraid. And if someone really doesn't know what's good for them, can't I just go to the police station and find the chief?
"Now that all three of you are here, let's go."
"Oh, okay, may I ask how to address you, Uncle?" Chen Enpeng asked.
"I've been so busy I've forgotten. My name is Gu Zhengrong, and I'm the captain of the Gujiawaizi Brigade."
"Hello, Captain!" Chen Junjie greeted the captain as soon as he heard it was him.
I really didn't expect that the uncle in front of me was the one Uncle Shen was talking about. My dad was this man's savior, but now wasn't the time to acknowledge him. I quickly replied, "Hello, Captain Uncle."
"Captain, could you tell me about the situation in our brigade?" Chen Enpeng quickly offered a cigarette and asked.
Seeing that the young man was quite responsive, Gu Zhengrong said, "Our brigade has about 30 households, with a population of less than 400. Our brigade is a beautiful mountain village with clear waters and lush mountains, and the people are simple and honest. Don't underestimate our brigade just because it's small. Our men, young and old, have participated in many battles against the Japanese and puppet troops. Many of our members have experienced the horrors of war. We must unite with the people of other brigades."
This "obedience" is quite interesting. This place could be considered a stronghold for early risers and those who resist hardship. Members there are absolutely obedient to orders and commands, but to truly understand...
