After Japan surrendered, Xiawangzhuang Elementary School was unprecedentedly lively and peaceful. The reason why it was so lively was that once Japan surrendered, the children no longer ran away from the enemy. They all came to school, especially after Teacher Wang Lixian went door-to-door. Those who should go to school, except for special circumstances, basically all came. Therefore, the school that ran away from the enemy really became lively. The calmness was the calmness in people's hearts. When they were " tracking the enemy," even in school, who could sit quietly in the classroom, listening to the gunshots outside, ready to run at any time? How could they calm down?
Xia Xiuying, a first-year student, sat upright at her desk. The small bag on the table contained books and exercise books. A small rectangular slate was placed in the middle of the table. She took out a stone pen from a small box in her bag and wrote the words she had learned in the past on the slate. Xia Yulan, who was sitting at the same table as him, turned around and said,""Aiya, you haven't been to school for a year, and you still have so many words?”
"How can I not know how to write? I still know what I learned in the past, and I can also write some of the things I didn't learn in the past. My father said that I can't throw away the books I studied. The Japanese will be finished sooner or later. After the Japanese are finished, I still have to go to school. So, when I have nothing to do, he always asks me to write and do calculations.”
No one in my family cared about me. I used to only know a few words, but I ate porridge." Xia Yulan's eyes reddened as she spoke. She was Xia Zongfeng's third daughter and had three older brothers. The eldest brother, Xia Changguo, the second brother, Xia Changpu, and the third brother, Xia Changhu. His second brother was from the Eighth Route Army. He died in the battle with the Japanese last year. Her family was very sad. Although her parents were strong enough, they did not have the mood to force her to study. She could do whatever she wanted. After all, she was still a child. How could she be so self-aware? Xia Xiuying looked at her sad face and comforted her,""Don't worry. Teacher will definitely make up for the delay in a few days. Besides, I will definitely tell you everything.”
Ah Hui's seat was right behind Xia Xiuying and Xia Yulan. He had neither a schoolbag nor a small stone slab. Although the two books were new, they were also rolled up. His brother, Awu, had given him a half-pencil. There was also a small Gerben, but there was no writing on it. He felt that the words he learned every day were easy to write. He could remember them after reading them once. There was no need for small stone slabs or small wooden planks, and there was no need to write them in a small square book. Therefore, he didn't have a small slate or a stone pen, and he didn't ask for it from his family. He didn't want it. His parents were illiterate and didn't know how to buy these appliances.
Ah Hui didn't write or read much, but he preferred to listen to the students studying and talking. Especially when the female students liked to talk during self-study, they liked to ask each other questions and study. He listened to them and learned.
Xia Xiuying said to Xia Yulan," Come on, let's practice the new words that the teacher taught us yesterday. I'll call you first, then you can call me."
" Alright," Xia Yulan said." Then you go ahead."
Xia Xiuying opened the book and turned away so that Xia Yulan wouldn't see her. She said," Just write a car."
Xia Yulan was holding a piece of chalk in her hand. She looked like she was about to write something, but she couldn't remember how to write it. She was so anxious that she bit her fingers.
" I can't write the first word. Think again."
I really can't remember."
Xia Xiuying asked her to think about it again, but she said that she really couldn't remember. The two of them froze.
Ah Hui was listening in clearly, so she interrupted,"Didn't the teacher say it yesterday?"
"You know how to write?" Xia Yulan turned her head slightly and said to Ah Hui.
Ah Hui used her finger to draw on the table. "I remember now," Xia Yulan said. He wrote on the small stone slab.
Xia Xiuying said," This doesn't count. Look at what he drew on the table. It doesn't count. Another one, the crow character." Xia Yulan didn't argue with her. She was studying anyway, so she didn't mind. She thought about it and was about to start writing when Teacher Wang Lixian entered the classroom. She hurriedly put the book and pen on the table and sat down properly.
Teacher Wang Lixian was very good at organizing teaching. He arranged a double class of 40 to 50 students in an orderly manner.
However, she didn't go to school for long and stopped going. The adults said that the Central Army of the National Party had come and was even more powerful than the Japanese. Children shouldn't run around or be too far away from home. They should be ready to run with adults at any time. It was still "running away from the enemy."
One morning, just after breakfast, the family suddenly became nervous. His father came back from outside and said in horror,"The Central Army has entered the village. We can't run out. Close the north gate and stay at home. Don't leave the courtyard.
In this way, Uncle Zhang Qingtang's family, Second Uncle Zhang Qingfeng's family, and Ah Hui's family did not dare to leave the courtyard. They held their voices and listened to the movements outside the courtyard, not knowing what would happen.
After a while, the sound of someone hitting someone came from the north of Ah Hui's house. The sticks cracked and the people who were hit cried out. Everyone was very nervous. Who knows if the wild beasts will break in and come to our side? Besides, Grandma was in the wing room of the north courtyard. Would she be beaten up?
Everyone was nervous, anxious, and afraid. Uncle's ears were pressed against the door, listening to the movements outside.
After about an hour, the fight stopped, and the crying and screaming stopped. People's hearts tensed up. After a long while, when they heard that there was no more movement, their uncle and father mustered up their courage to open the door and look outside. Grandma came over and said that everyone had left and that everything was fine. Only then did the people leave the courtyard.
It turned out that the Central Army had surrounded the village first. The soldiers held guns in their hands to prevent the people from running out of the village. Then, they entered the village to arrest people. He did not have a target to capture. He just randomly captured a few people to understand the situation in the village. After the Japanese entered Shanhaiguan, the KMTs retreated to the south, and the Nanking government moved to Chungking. The large areas of the rural areas of northern China were the activities of the Chinese Party and the Eighth Route Army. The Guomindang knew nothing about the situation of the rural peasants. They urgently needed to understand the situation in the countryside, especially to find people who could provide them with information and serve the national army. First of all, the existing village officials must be excluded. They were trained by the party and could not be used. In the side room facing the street, they interrogated the captured villagers. He asked who was the chief and who was the deputy chief. The people who were captured did not know what their purpose was and refused to say. The KMTs fought, and no one said anything about it. Later, they captured Xia Zongxin, Zheng Yulin, and Xia Junhai and brought them to the villagers to ask if they were the village chief. The villagers said they weren't. As long as it wasn't? The central army thought that these people could work for them, so they took them away when they left the village.
There were many people gathered on the platform of the four houses. Xia Zongxin, Chang Ren, and Jun Hai were all tied up. The officers of the Central Army stood on the platform and spoke to everyone. They said that they would take them away and come back in a few days. They would not beat them or scold them. Their families could rest assured.
After four or five days, they all came back. It turned out that they had been brought to Daxin Village, where the National Party had organized a training course. The main lesson was that after the victory of the War of Resistance, the world should be governed by the National Party. They were told to work for the National Party when they returned to the village. The National Party trusted them.
In the training class, Junhai, Xia Zongxin, and Chang Ren all expressed their stance that they would definitely serve the party and the country. However, when they came back, they said in the village that they could not work for the National Party even if they were beaten to death.
