1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 206: Jiayou, your Xuemin went to the front line to offer condolences? (Request full order)
"Yes! Your son-in-law is making a splash on the front lines again!"

Father Feng didn't notice that his wife, Mother Feng, was distracted by his words and was shaking with fear.

Instead, he sighed and said, "My eldest brother mentioned on the phone that Xuemin wrote a song on the front line. Now, people on the front lines in Guangxi and Yunnan are singing Xuemin's new song in consolation performances. They say it is very infectious!"

"Wait!"

"It may not take a few days for that song to be spread back to Yanjing and sung in the streets and alleys!"

"When the kids at home hear it and ask who sang it, I won't be able to hide it anymore!"

I just wrote a new song?
After hearing this, Feng's mother, who was so nervous and frightened, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wrote a song, but it won't reach my child's ears!"

"Before Xuemin left, he had already made arrangements at school. The students and teachers would help keep it a secret from her!"

"If there's a problem at home, we can just say it was sung by someone else, right?!"

If it was just a new song, as long as her family didn't hear it and it was sung by her husband Xuemin himself, how could it be difficult to hide it?
Just say it’s a song written by someone else!
"We should be more cautious. If it doesn't work, let her take a leave and stay at home to take care of the baby!" Father Feng was still somewhat worried, and said quietly, "Why do you think Xuemin...is writing songs again?"

Father Feng really didn't know what to say about his son-in-law.

He can stand out wherever he goes.

He was originally going to the south to express condolences. As a writer, he thought he was just going to the front line to express condolences to the soldiers and interview some writers for writing materials.

How could he sing or dance? At best he could only tell stories to the soldiers.

But who knows!

Without any announcement, a new song was created and spread throughout the front line.

Really...he can always make a splash wherever he goes!
"Your son-in-law... Is it difficult to admit that your son-in-law is better than you were back then?"

Mother Feng was very happy to hear this, but when she saw her husband actually sighing, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and smiled smugly.

"Ah!"

"But it wasn't someone who insisted on my child getting rid of the baby. Now they've come to my house and want to kick me out!"

"Old Feng, what do you mean by that? When did I kick Xuemin out?"

……

The next morning, what was supposed to happen finally happened!
"Teacher Gu, did our students go to the front line to offer condolences? Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?"

Feng's mother came to work early in the morning and happened to meet the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu. She asked her in horror on the spot.

"Huh?! Lao Li, how did you know that!?"

"Did Mr. Wu tell you?"

Feng's mother was also confused by Liu Xinwu's question!
Only a few people knew that her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin went to the south to express condolences, and her unit was not informed of the matter at all.

Even to the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu, Feng's mother didn't say a word.

But what's happening now?!

How did Liu Xinwu suddenly know about it? Could it be that he was in the department and heard about it from Mr. Wu and the others?

"Teacher Gu, haven't you read the PLA newspaper? Maybe everyone knows about it now!"

"That's amazing! Teacher Gu, why haven't you talked about your son-in-law recently? It turns out that he has gone to the front line in the south to give a performance to the soldiers fighting bravely on the front line!"

Following that, the other people in the editorial department all looked at Feng's mother and said in surprise.

"Liberation Army Daily?"

"It reported on my Xuemin?!"

This startled Feng's mother, and she quickly took two steps forward and snatched the newspaper from Liu Xinwu's hand.

"Ah! Teacher Gu, the newspapers have reported on the students' condolences to the front line!"

"He also wrote a new song that was so infectious on the front lines that it was even highlighted and praised by the People's Liberation Army Daily!"

Liu Xinwu nodded repeatedly, and was amazed at Teacher Gu's son-in-law, who was truly a versatile person!

You can shine wherever you go!

He is good at writing manuscripts and scripts. Now that he is on the front line, he can even write a very infectious war song. It really blinded Liu Xinwu and others!
Feng's mother ignored Liu Xinwu's exclamation. After snatching the newspaper, she immediately turned to the report on her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin.

Because it’s too eye-catching!
It was a photo of Cheng Xuemin singing for the soldiers on the stage.

The title is about the pioneer of reform and opening up, Comrade Cheng Xuemin, who accompanied the General Political Department Art Troupe to the front line to perform a condolence show...

"Teacher Gu, Xuemin is now in Malipo, which is the front line!"

"Why did he go to the front line to offer condolences?"

Seeing the horrified look on Feng's mother's face, Liu Xinwu asked again with concern, because there was a report in the newspaper that Cheng Xuemin was performing a consolation performance in Malipo.

But everyone knows that Malipo is the very front line.

How could Cheng Xuemin, an author who was accompanying the delegation to offer condolences, go directly to the battlefield? ?

Even if we want to express our condolences, shouldn't it be done on the front line in Wenshan?
"Lao Liu... I... I have to go back right away. My wife doesn't even know about this. We've kept it from her!"

Feng's mother realized instantly that what Old Feng was worried about yesterday might really not be able to be concealed!
They didn't expect that the new song written by Xuemin would not be transmitted back to Yanjing so quickly, but the People's Liberation Army's war report had already reported the incident.

They took everything into consideration, except for this part, and forgot about the PLA's battle report!

It’s not that I forgot!

But they really never thought that their son-in-law Cheng Xuemin would be reported in the People's Liberation Army Daily in such a stunning way.

I have to go back quickly to check on Feng Jiayou at home, and make sure he doesn't get frightened and get hurt.

"Ah? Are you still hiding this from my family? Then Teacher Gu, you need to go back immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinwu and the others had no time to ask more questions and hurriedly urged Feng's mother to go back quickly.

Feng's mother had just locked the bicycle, pushed it out, and hurried home.

"Hmm? Isn't this Jiayou's family's old Cheng?"

Huang Beijia and Cha Jianying have a habit of going to the school newsstand to browse newspapers and magazines before going to class every day. If they see something they like, they will buy one.

Today is no exception!

Cha Jianying casually flipped through the "Liberation Army Daily" and took a closer look at it out of concern for the war in the south. But who would have thought!

She actually saw a report about Feng Jiayou's lover Cheng Xuemin in the newspaper. She couldn't help but scream and pull Huang Beijia next to her and shout.

"Lao Xu?! How did he get included in the PLA war report? Didn't Jiayou say he went to the Northwest to film the movie 'The Shepherd'?"

Huang Beijia came over and after glancing at the newspaper, he was also stunned and exclaimed.

"How should I know?" Cha Jianying was confused. After saying this, he continued to read the relevant reports.

“He can also write songs?”

After reading the entire report, Cha Jianying and Huang Beijia were dumbfounded again, marveling at Feng Jiayou's lover. It was really... I didn't know what to say!
To write manuscripts or articles, all you need is hands and a pen. The same goes for writing movie scripts.

Not only can he write but he can also act. In the movie adapted from "The Shepherd", the hero Xu Lingjun was invited to play the role of the author himself, according to his family.

Better now!

They went south to the front line quietly to perform for the consolation. They were so good at writing and singing songs. It was really amazing how their good sister Feng Jiayou could have picked up such a great treasure in the place where the educated youth were sent to work in northern Shaanxi.

"Here she comes. Jiayou is here for class. Let's go over and ask her what's going on."

Huang Beijia paid directly and bought the PLA war report in his hand, thinking of taking it back to the class to publicize it.

Seeing Feng Jiayou himself coming to the door, he quickly greeted Cha Jianying and went to meet him.

……

Cheng Xuemin and his consolation team had been on their way up for a day, passing through dense fire lines and finally arriving at the command post of the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion, but it was not yet a real cat ear cave.

The real cat ear cave is still at the forefront of the company.
When Cheng Xuemin and his team arrived here, they had the most real understanding of the so-called "cat ear hole" frontline position.

The so-called "cat ear holes" are actually temporary shelters dug on the mountain by our army in order to closely monitor the enemy's movements so as to be ready to respond to and resist the enemy's offensive provocations and to counterattack the enemy at any time.

Since it is a shelter and is also called a cat ear cave, it is just as the name suggests. This type of shelter is dug in the mountains and forests. It is as big as a cat's ear and so narrow that only a cat can hide in it. Usually each cat ear cave can only accommodate one or two soldiers.

They hid in the cave, unable to stand or sit, unable to eat well, and sleeping was even more of a luxury.

Often they can only squat in the cave. In addition, during this rainy season in the south, the walls of the cat ear caves are seeping with water, and snakes and insects are running around. Many of our soldiers stationed inside are covered with herpes, and some even have crotch rot. The conditions are extremely harsh, and it makes people feel heartbroken and cry.

"Captain Li, we can't go any further!"

"There are minefields all over the mountains ahead. If you slip and get into an accident, the consequences will be disastrous!"

After a day of consolation at the 9th Company Headquarters, Li Shuanggang left the two female comrades Gong Di and Han Qiaoyue behind, and he took Yan Weiwen, Ge You and others to continue visiting each platoon and class to perform consolation shows.

When visiting the classes, we want to let every frontline soldier hear the consolation songs from the General Political Department's consolation delegation. This is the ultimate mission of this consolation delegation heading south.

Now it’s just the company, and Li Shuanggang still has to lead the others and move forward.

But Captain Zhao and the instructor of the 9th Company refused to let them go any further. It would be too dangerous to go any further!

"Yes, Captain Li, it's too dangerous to go any further! The enemy is very close to every cat-ear hole ahead. If there is any movement ahead, we will be swept by the enemy's machine guns. You said you want to go up to offer condolences, but there is no place to stay, and you can't even sing, let alone dance!"

The instructor also followed suit and advised Li Shuanggang.

But the more Captain Zhao and the instructor said this, the more Li Shuanggang became more determined to go up.

"Captain Zhao, instructor, if we don't go to the Maoerdong front line, how can we convey the most sincere greetings from the General Political Department and the leaders to our soldiers on the front line?" Li Shuanggang said firmly.

"Captain Zhao, instructor! How about this, I'll go up with Lao Li!" Cheng Xuemin said from the side, "Lao Li! The instructor just said that it's really not possible to sing and dance to express condolences in the cat-ear cave ahead!"

"I think I should go up and talk to the soldiers, interview them, and convey the leaders' concern and condolences to the soldiers on the front line. What do you think?"

"Xuemin, you stay in the company..."

Li Shuanggang originally wanted to keep Cheng Xuemin in the company, but after Cheng Xuemin's persuasion, he did consider that among the few of them, only Cheng Xuemin had a stronger foundation.

Even Li Shuanggang couldn't compare. With Cheng Xuemin going up with him, it was indeed much safer than letting little Yan Geyou go up with him.

Finally, Captain Zhao of the company consulted their "battalion headquarters" and received approval to arrange for two comrades to go up to express their condolences.

Following Li Shuanggang and Cheng Xuemin, they put down the organ, picked up the spears, and went up to the cat ear cave.

"Xuemin, are you nervous?"

When he was at the company headquarters, although Li Shuanggang was very stubborn, he was actually leading the way around the minefield under the personal guidance of the company instructor, and he couldn't help but ask Cheng Xuemin who was standing next to him.

"Lao Li, I'm fine!"

Cheng Xuemin was not nervous at all. Instead, his blood boiled, especially with the rifle in his hand. This was a sniper rifle that he had specially found from the regiment headquarters.

He thought that if he could get into this cat ear cave and really kill one or two enemy ghost monkeys, then his trip to the south to express condolences would be a real success.

"Who?"

Suddenly, just as Cheng Xuemin and his companions entered the cat ear cave minefield, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

Cheng Xuemin looked over there!
They only saw two shirtless warriors lying in a cat-ear cave in front of them, holding spears and staring at the front. With their backs facing them, they shouted warnings.

"Platoon Leader Yang, it's me!"

"I'm with two comrades from the General Political Department's condolence delegation. They have brought greetings from the leaders and want to tell you something!" The instructor said in a low voice to the two soldiers who were lying on the ground.

Then, the instructor looked back at Li Shuanggang and Cheng Xuemin, signaling them to follow him closely and lead them over.

In this way, Cheng Xuemin and Li Shuanggang, under the personal guidance of the instructor, visited the soldiers in various cat ear caves on the front line one by one to express their condolences.

The greetings and care from the leaders were conveyed to every soldier on the front line.

One day, two days, three days...

The regiment headquarters suddenly sent a message to the ninth company, saying that the day before yesterday, a team of enemy scouts had sneaked into their defense zone, and the direction of their most recent activity was most likely their third battalion's defense zone.

Tell the Ninth Company to take strict precautions and immediately ask the comrades who went up to visit to withdraw quickly.

"What!?"

"The instructor and the others have lost contact? How is this possible?"

Captain Zhao did not dare to hesitate and immediately sent out a signalman to quickly withdraw the two comrades who had been there to express their condolences for four or five days.

But what Captain Zhao didn't expect was that they lost contact!
The signalman lost contact with his instructor and the two comrades who came to visit him. Captain Zhao was so frightened that he quickly sent more people to look for them. At the same time, he quickly reported the situation to his superiors!

Asking for a monthly ticket!
