Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

"How about I accompany you back secretly?" Mingyue said to Shadan to comfort him.

"Forget it, let's wait until the day when the country is liberated. It won't be long anyway, only a year."

"Hmm? What year?"

"Nothing, nothing?"

The fool almost blurted out something about the future.

Come to think of it, what's wrong with just staying in the arsenal for a year?

Stay here with good food and drink. Next comes the matter of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. There are actually a lot of things to do in the arsenal, and it is not as easy as Shadan makes it appear.

Actually, I have been away from home for so many years and now I have a nominal girlfriend, so I should make my parents happy.

But thinking about the current turbulent environment, I decided not to cause trouble for my parents.

This year is also a bumper year for the original arsenal base.

It's a rare opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival together again, so let's have fun with my brothers.

In Beijing, in the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, there was a gloomy look on one's face.

They always supported the People's Liberation Army, but this time the route was blocked by Kuomintang soldiers, and several people were killed or injured.

The key point is that if a few people are arrested, the others may be in danger of being betrayed.

How to do?

It became the most important thing for everyone.

He Daqing immediately went to Uncle Zhang to discuss countermeasures, but there was no other way except armed rescue.

But now, there are a large number of Kuomintang soldiers in the city of Peking.

Thinking of an armed rescue is simply a dream.

According to information obtained from outside sources, the imprisoned comrades may be held in a heavily guarded prison, making it extremely difficult to sneak in or escape.

Secondly, there were no available people or weapons.

Finally, the two of them thought about it and realized that the rescue team they might form lacked the necessary equipment and manpower, such as sufficient weapons, communication equipment or transportation.

Because they are just an underground group of people and an organization, responsible only for delivering messages and supplies, and are not armed personnel at all.

He Daqing frowned and stared at the marked enemy camp on the map. "The biggest problem we face," he said in a deep and powerful voice, "is that they have increased their night patrols, and there is only one entrance, which is heavily guarded."

Uncle Zhang nodded slightly, his eyes behind his glasses calm and determined. "Then we will start with underground work and see if there are any locals willing to help."

"But time waits for no one," He Daqing said anxiously, "If we don't find a way before we transfer them, then everything will be over."

"Yes, and we are not sure whether these sources are reliable," he rubbed his temple, revealing his inner struggle.

Uncle Zhang was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "We need to split up and confirm the intelligence on the one hand, and start preparing supplies on the other. Remember, this time we may have to face the worst situation."

The two fell into a brief silence, thinking about how to overcome these difficulties. They knew that every step might be dangerous, but for the safety of their comrades, they had to come up with a comprehensive plan.

Suddenly, He Daqing came up with a bold idea: "We can bribe the guards here and try to get some inside information. Maybe we can also get the key and release the people directly."

Uncle Zhang shook his head. "It's too dangerous. Once we're discovered, the whole plan will be ruined. I think we should consider other ways."

They were silent for a moment, and then Uncle Zhang recalled a possible ally. "Oh, I remember there was a guard who owed me a favor. We can try to get some equipment from him, at least so that we can get closer to the prison."

He Daqing pondered for a while, then said, "Or, we can create some chaos outside, such as a small-scale explosion, to divert the attention of most of the guards, and then rescue people in the chaos."

Uncle Zhang added, "But we have to ensure the safety of our comrades. It's easy to make mistakes in the chaos, and we can't take that risk."

They continued to discuss each in detail, realizing that each approach had its risks and limitations. Ultimately, they decided to combine multiple strategies to deal with a variety of possible situations.

Zhang Guilan also learned about her teammates’ arrest at home, and she immediately took out the gold bars and jewelry that Mingyue had given her.

So, with an attitude of giving it a try, he contacted a prison warden through a connection through the second son of the Zhang family next door.

The family met the steward on the pretext that the child of a distant relative was ignorant and had gone astray, and that they wanted to redeem him.

I thought there would be a heated exchange of words, swordplay, and sabers, but the manager simply held up two fingers and said, "For the two people you mentioned, give me two gold bars, and I will release them privately."

"what!"

"Why do you think the price is high? Then just buy a gold bar."

"what!"

"You still feel the price is high. Right. It's all because of the ignorant children's mischief. We've made our family worry about our poverty. We can't afford it even if we spend all our money. So two small yellow croakers are the minimum. Aunt Zhang, we are neighbors. If the price is any lower, I really won't be able to explain to my superiors. Please understand." The managers on the opposite side began to bow to Zhang Guilan, indicating that this was the lowest price and it couldn't be lower.

Zhang Guilan was completely confused at this time.

He never imagined that the Kuomintang had become so corrupt.

In fact, the manager didn't want to do that either. It was because the Kuomintang had issued the Gold Yuan Coupons, which required every civil servant to buy. As a result, the gold yuan coupons have now depreciated greatly and every family can't afford rice. They have to eat leftovers and can only find ways to make money on their own.

It can be said that the devaluation of the gold yuan coupons not only harmed the general public, but also harmed their own people, but they were all grassroots personnel.

Those high-ranking officials and wealthy people continued to eat and drink as usual, without being affected at all.

They enriched a few people and harmed everyone in the country. It would be unjust if their country was not destroyed.

The Guobin Party has done everything themselves and cannot blame anyone else.

In this way, Zhang Guilai used two small goldfish to bring the two captured little comrades out safely.

One of them was named Chen Guangquan, the other was named Zhang Hongyi, and the manager was named Wang Yitu.

Out of gratitude for Zhang Guilan's rescue, he immediately acknowledged Zhang Guilan as his godmother.

There was only a dozen years’ age difference between them, so Zhang Guilan tried to refuse recognition, but the two guys were so enthusiastic that they knelt down in front of her.

Zhang Guilan was unwilling to have these two godsons in a million or a thousand ways.

The result of their arrest was also reported to Zhang Guilan.

How should I put it, the naughty kid started to make trouble the first time he went on a mission, otherwise he wouldn’t have been caught.

Belongs to the group of people who do no and die.

Such people are quite disgusting to the honest and decent Zhang Guilan, so she is very disgusted with them recognizing her as their godmother.

I just walked away, pretending I didn't know these two people.

The two of them were like dog-skin plasters. They walked straight to his yard, knelt down in front of Zhang Guilan in public, and acknowledged her as their godmother.

In this situation, it is completely impossible to back down.

Zhang Guilan was put in the position of godmother.

It’s my first time to be a godparent, and I’m so reluctant.

In fact, there is insider information about these two people. Although they are a bit reckless in doing things, they are very cunning.

I don't know where I heard the news from, but it said that Zhang Guilan's eldest son had been missing.

There was also a beautiful girl who always came to their house to visit Zhang Guilan.

After some discussion, they came to a conclusion: Zhang Guilan's eldest son must be a high-ranking official, and the little girl must be his confidential secretary, as the Kuomintang members all called her that.

So these two people took advantage of the situation and forced Zhang Guilan to be their godmother.

No matter whether others are willing or not, the reputation in this hospital has already spread.

After the two of them went back, it was just the beginning of the Spring Festival. They came over to give gifts with the little food left in their family.

Everyone in the hospital saw it.

Everyone was talking about all sorts of things, and they were all looking at Zhang Guilan with envy.

In fact, their family could have had a peaceful Spring Festival. Not as good as the best but better than the worst. At least they had a full meal and some meat to eat.

With the arrival of these two little tiger boys, this New Year's Eve dinner was so delicious that we could lick our lips.

He Yushui, who was already two or three years old, was so scared when he saw the two hungry wolves that he started crying and hid in his mother's arms for comfort.

He Yuzhu was the head of the regiment these days, but he was chased around by the Kuomintang like a rabbit.

Originally he had some filial piety, but now he has nothing. It was his mother who took out a silver dollar to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Now it's all in the stomachs of these two tiger boys.

The looks he gave to the two of them were vicious.

Stealing someone's money is like killing their parents; stealing someone's food is like a hatred as deep as the sea.

The three of them became enemies.

In short, no one is pleased with it.

Chen Guangquan, Zhang Hongyi, and He Yuzhu had lightning in their eyes. If the candles were blown out, you could see flashing arcs and crackling sounds.

These two guys actually kept watch with their godmother.

It looks pretty authentic, but it's too depressing to eat.

After the Spring Festival but before the first month of the lunar year, Mingyue came again. Perhaps thinking of the poor living conditions in Beijing, she brought a lot of food.

Among them was the pig head meat from the New Year slaughter, and I wanted to add some blood sausage, but it was a pity that it spoiled too easily.

He also brought ten kilograms of flour. This was the special meal arranged by the leaders for Comrade Shadan. He did not cook it, but asked Mingyue to take it back home for his parents to eat.

Other things are canned goods and the like.

The army has been winning battles recently, and Liu Xiaozhuang, Lin Ziang, Lin Jianshe and Chen Ergou from the Independent Field Army have all asked someone to send things to Shadan.

In fact, they didn't give it away for free, they also took away hundreds of rockets.

This is really the time when I started to work independently and started to have my own plans.

Since I became the head of the family, I realized that daily necessities have become more expensive.

In addition to these there is also two feet of floral cloth. "This is what I picked specially for mom. Take a look at it. Do you like the color?" Mingyue said happily.

"Fool?" Zhang Guilan asked with a puzzled look.
