Chapter 626: News of the Tiger Brigade's Return to the South!!
Black Cloud Village.
"I slept through the spring night, and heard birds singing everywhere..."
"The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers have fallen..."
The voices of children, reciting poems accompanied by the sound of wind chimes.
The sound came from a three-story building in Heiyun Village. Peng Liangzi was walking on the road to the back mountain. The children's laughter seemed to cleanse his soul.
Having just returned from the front, these pure and tender voices are undoubtedly the most touching voices in troubled times, and they are also the meaning of their fight to the death.
Today, many common people, young people and soldiers have flocked to Heiyun Village. The houses are getting taller and taller, and the hospitals and training grounds are also well-built. There is even a school built in Heiyun Village where college students from Heiyun Village teach.
There is a market outside Heiyun Village, with the sounds of vendors on the streets and many people and workers working.
Perhaps it is precisely because people have come from displacement and the struggle to survive in the midst of war that now, when they have a stable life, everyone is supporting this hard-earned life.
All these changes were seen by Liangzi.
The hilltop that was once just a small village has now become a city on top of the mountains, a thriving scene.
"The brigade commander and the others will definitely be very happy when they see this..."
Liangzi walked towards the fields on the back mountain with a list in her hand. Just when she reached the ridge of the field, a mountain breeze blew over. The slender figure in the fields on the back mountain slowly straightened her waist, feeling the momentary coolness.
Cheng Tingying gently stroked the sweat beads on her forehead, turned the soil with the hoe in her hand, and sweat dripped into the soil.
Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes and escorted by bursts of military voices on the training ground.
The clear voices of children reading from time to time make the sound of wind chimes even more smiling.
When Liangzi saw Cheng Tingying, he walked quickly to her side and handed some lists to her.
"This is the food sent by the nearby villagers. There are also some supplies sent by chambers of commerce and people from all walks of life. Among them are many medicines, money, etc." Peng Liangzi couldn't help but look at the fields. After this period of nurturing, this piece of land is extremely fertile. It only needs to sow the seeds and wait for the seeds to germinate.
"Yeah." Cheng Tingying tidied up simply.
She devotes all her efforts to every spring plowing. After all, this land was cultivated bit by bit by her and a group of people.
But looking at the list in her hand, she realized that this donation was more than any previous one, which made her brows look much more serious.
Liangzi said excitedly:
"This is because after the battle at Beidingyuan in the three northeastern provinces, many merchants, families, and other famous forces from other places contacted and sent us medicine, including a lot of medicine..."
Today, Heiyunzhai Hospital is considered one of the best hospitals in Jin. There are also many Chinese medicine practitioners who grow their own medicinal herbs in the back mountain.
Medical reserves are gradually increasing.
"Put them into storage first, and wait for the new batch of soldiers to finish their training, then head north together..." Cheng Tingying couldn't help but look towards the north. The Black Cloud Village could develop peacefully because it was the soldiers who stood at the forefront of the war.
These donations seem to be given to Heiyun Village, but in fact they are all given to the Huben Brigade and are exchanged for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the front line. The sound of wind chimes reminds them that these are hard-earned.
At this moment, suddenly someone came towards her quickly, and the voice arrived before the person.
"Sister Tingying! The host is coming back!"
"The troops in the brigade are going home!!"
Xiuchun was running barefoot on the ridge of the field. Her voice was very loud, echoing in the empty field and in everyone's heart.
The busy figures in the fields all looked up. The soldiers on the training ground stopped running. The young people and the people who were building houses froze their hands in mid-air and turned their heads to stare.
The children in the classroom had the most innocent smiles on their tender faces, and their clear and bright eyes looked out the window. Having grown up in Heiyun Village, they had heard about the various deeds of the Tiger Brigade since childhood, and knew that every time they came back, they would have delicious food.
This feeling is like a festival to them.
For many people, the Tiger Brigade's return home was something they had been waiting for for too long.
The entire Black Cloud Village seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment.
"came back..."
Zhang Yunxiu's hands in the field stiffened slightly, and then began to tremble. There was expectation in her eyes, but more of it was worry and hesitation.
She looked forward to her daughter's return, but was even more afraid that she would leave and never come back like her brother.
"Youxin loves Minjie the most... I have to prepare some... I have to prepare some!!"
Zhang Yunxiu murmured something, repeating it over and over again, hiding her inner uneasiness.
There were many soldiers recuperating from injuries in the hospital. Some of the wounded jumped directly from their beds and hopped around a few times.
"The brigade commander is coming back, Lao Zhang, do you think I look healthy?"
"Stop jumping around and hide the bandage on your foot. The commander won't take a cripple on a forced march."
"I won't be a drag. None of those new recruits on the training ground can outrun me in the weighted run. This time, I'm going to fight the Japs with the brigade commander."
"..."
In the hospital wards, many wounded soldiers are looking forward to recovering quickly from their injuries. After all, their team is about to go home and they don’t have much time left.
If I don’t catch up with the team this time, I don’t know when the next time will be.
Some people were nervous, some were looking forward to it, and some were confused about the return of the Tiger Guards.
"Shouldn't they take us to the three northeastern provinces? Why did you choose to come back now?" Peng Liangzi asked with some confusion. After all, when he delivered intelligence some time ago, he knew what the situation was like in the north.
After saying this, Cheng Tingying looked at Chunxiu with a heavy look in her eyes.
"Sister Tingying, I saw in the newspaper that the brigade commander is going to march south..." Chunxiu pointed at the newspaper and handed it to Cheng Tingying.
"Southern Expedition?" Cheng Tingying frowned even more tightly.
"Southern Expedition...Why?" Liangzi asked with some confusion on his face, a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
You have to know that the Northern Expedition has already consolidated the situation in the three northeastern provinces, and he was a little confused about not guarding them.
"For them..."
When Cheng Tingying heard this, she put away the newspaper and telegram in her hands, and looked at the children reading aloud and the people laughing around her, this picture of tranquility.
The breeze blows and the wind chimes ring.
But her last clear eyes were imprinted with the roses all over the mountain and the vines entwined around the stone tablet in the back mountain.
"Make good preparations. The brigade commander and his men are back this time, and they might...may not stay for too long."
Cheng Tingying spoke in a low voice, carrying the hoe on her shoulder, and said to the two of them seriously:
"Chunxiu, take your men and renovate the land. Liangzi, go count the supplies and bring plenty of medicine so the brigade commander and his men can take them back. Also, notify the textile factory to prepare military uniforms, prepare the ammunition that Yuancheng sent, and prepare separate artillery shells..."
Cheng Tingying lowered her hoe to her shoulders and arranged each order skillfully and quickly, just like Lin Tianchen on the battlefield, with a calm mind.
"Yes."
"Yes."
