They have been arriving one after another a month ago. I just wanted to gather people, so I waited for comrades who were far away. Now there are more than fifty people here, and classes can start."

Lin Yutong frowned, "Bring them all here to start classes at school?"

Fang Yun nodded: "Many of the comrades who came here this time are personnel sent back by the guerrillas fighting behind enemy lines. Their foundation is definitely not as good as these students. Therefore, Xiaolin, this task is still very heavy."

Fifty-eight people of blood origin come from all over the world, speak with different accents, and wear different clothes. Most of them are gay men, and there are only 13 lesbians. And among them there is another person whom Lin Yutong did not expect.

"Sister!" A woman wearing a floral shirt, gray trousers and leggings, with short ear-length hair, shouted to Lin Yutong, who was standing at the door waiting for students to enter the classroom.

Lin Yutong looked up and down: "Xingzi?"

"It's me!" Xingzi pulled Lin Yutong over, "Sister, you really haven't changed at all."

But Kyoko has changed. She is no longer the timid girl. She opens her black and white eyes and looks full of life.

Lin Yutong pointed to the classroom, "Go to class first and talk after class."

Seeing Xingzi striding into the classroom, Lin Yutong was still in a daze. Should he be grateful to Bai Kun for teaching in the Lin Family Courtyard? Yang Zi and Xingzi were influenced by Bai Kun and accepted the Labor Party first. In the end, they ended up with the same destination.

We went on the same road. But even so, Lin Yutong still felt a bit unreal when meeting Xingzi here.

After class, Xingzi rushed to Lin Yutong, "Sister, how have you been in these years?"

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "Come home with me first, and we'll talk slowly when we get back." She didn't rush to talk about herself, but asked her: "Where were you back then?"

Xingzi fell silent for a while, and then said after a long time: "I went to Liaodong with the Red Cross Society. Later, I was almost caught by the Japanese, but was rescued by the local guerrillas, so I stayed." The look in her eyes.

A trace of sadness flashed through, "Sister, I...got married."

get married?

Lin Yutong pushed open the door for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly, "Really? You are not young anymore, it is time for you to get married." After speaking, he pulled her to sit down and put the washed tomatoes and

He took out the cucumber and said, "There's nothing good about it. I grew it all myself. Try it!"

Xingzi took a tomato and took a bite absentmindedly, "It's quite sweet."

Where's the sweetness? It's very sour.

Seeing that something was obviously wrong with her expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is your husband? Don't worry, you can come alone?"

"The reason why I'm on the same team is a gay man." Xingzi smiled, "My man... died."

Lin Yutong took the water ladle and originally planned to add water to the pot for cooking. After hearing this, he was stunned and said, "Sacrifice?"

Xingzi nodded: "On the second day after the wedding, I was injured while performing a mission, and the wound worsened in the end..."

"Are you okay?" Lin Yutong turned around and asked.

Xingzi smiled, "I'm used to seeing many comrades fall. Besides, it's been two years since he died."

Two years has indeed been a long time.

"People have to look forward." Lin Yutong said something that was not comforting. There were so many such things that Lin Yutong felt that they were not surprised. Several nurses who had married out of the hospital had become

She became a widow and then remarried. Xiang Hongmei is one of them. People don’t even have time to grieve before they have to start a new life.

Lin Yutong wanted to say something comforting, but Chang Sheng's voice inevitably came: "Mom...Mom...is back..."

Xingzi was stunned, "Eldest sister also has a child?"

Lin Yutong responded casually and quickly opened the door curtain. Only then did he realize what Xingzi meant, "What? Are you giving birth to a child? Where is the child?"

Before Xingzi could answer, the Fourth Master came in with Chang Sheng in his arms. The two men were looking shabby. The Fourth Master did not see Xingzi and only told Lin Yutong: "Hurry up and give us some water. Let's see how thirsty we are."

"Thirsty! Thirsty!" Chang Sheng said and licked his lips, "Mom... I'm thirsty..."

Lin Yutong took a fly whisk and patted the dirt off the father and son's bodies before handing him a bowl of warm water. Chang Sheng leaned over the edge of the bowl and drank the bowl in one gulp.

"What are you doing? You're so thirsty." Lin Yutong handed the Fourth Master another bowl and then said, "Who do you think that is?"

Fourth Master drank water and raised his eyes: "Xingzi?"

"Brother-in-law." Xingzi responded, but her eyes were on Chang Sheng, "You really look like your eldest brother."

Fourth Master smiled and looked at Lin Yutong with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

Lin Yutong simply explained: "They are sent here for training." Then he taught Chang Sheng: "That's my aunt, please call me aunt."

"Xiao... Qi..." Chang Sheng shouted in response and looked into the pot.

The fourth master saw that the two sisters seemed to have something to say, so he carried Chang Sheng inside and said, "It's time for us to take a nap."

After waiting for the two men to go in, Lin Yutong asked Xingzi again: "Where is the child?"

If it is the child of the deceased husband, the child should be about the same age as Chang Sheng. Who can take care of such an older child? The conditions of the guerrillas are not as good as those in the base area.

"I was fostered with a fellow villager. She is a woman." Xingzi said very calmly, "She was sent away after she was born. The guerrilla army is different from the base area, so there is no way to take care of the child."

Lin Yutong stopped asking, and only talked about the situation in Liaodong, and asked her whether the journey here was smooth. Talking to Xingzi was not like talking to Yang Zi and Huaizi, it always seemed like there was something behind her.

The news about Yang Zi and Huaizi was also briefly told to her at the dinner table. Xingzi held the rice bowl and said softly: "It would have been better if I had come here a while earlier. I might not be able to see my eldest brother again. Only when I left the house did I realize that I didn't have any relatives around me.

It’s very difficult.”

Definitely!

After having a meal, Xingzi went back and took the initiative to live together, but Lin Yutong did not keep her.

But not ten days after the class started, a comrade from the publicity department suddenly came to talk to Lin Yutong. The reason was that Xingzi was in love with a section chief of the publicity department, and the other party filed a marriage report. Because Xingzi was appointed, if nothing went wrong, she would

You should return to your original army after the training. Now that such a situation has occurred, before giving instructions, you must ask Xingzi's direct leaders, namely Lin Yutong and Fang Yun.

Fang Yun almost exploded with anger: "How could such a thing happen? Commission training, commission training! They are commissioned training. Their organizational relationship is not with us. Therefore, we do not have the authority to approve the marriage of these students."

Once this gap is opened, it will be fine.

What can Lin Yutong say? How to express his position? "I avoid suspicion!"

Fang Yun was stunned, "This female student they are talking about is your sister?"

Can you deny it?

Lin Yutong could hardly bear the looks from these two people. They were really uncomfortable.

Fang Yun calmed down his temper and pulled Lin Yutong, "Xiao Lin, I am not targeting you. I have no objection to you. But let's discuss the matter..." Her voice lowered, "Is she afraid of fighting when she does this? Is she afraid of difficulties?

?What’s the difference between this and being a deserter?”

"I think it's better to find her, and Sister Fang can ask it herself." Lin Yutong stood up, "Don't worry about us as husband and wife, just do whatever you want."

Fang Yun looked at Lin Yutong's walking back with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face. She said she didn't need to consider them, but how could she not consider them? She was a little annoyed because her temper was getting worse now. She really could say whatever she wanted.

I didn’t think much about it. What should I do now?

When Lin Yutong came out of the hospital, she saw Xingzi wandering in front of her house. She was annoyed, but she couldn't have an attack outside, so she ignored her and went directly to the yard. Xingzi grabbed Lin Yutong's arm and said, "Sister! I have something to say.

"

"I have nothing to say." Lin Yutong pulled out his arm, "You have such an idea, what do you want to say to me?"

Xingzi looked at Lin Yutong's back and slowly squatted on the ground. Only those who have experienced how cruel the war is know. She doesn't want to lose her husband again, and she doesn't want to lose her child again. Is it wrong?

She slowly stood up and walked into the school.

Fang Yun looked at the girl in front of him with a low eyebrow that could kill a mosquito, "Tell me, what do you think?"

Xingzi's hands kept shaking, and after a long time she said: "I'm not afraid of fighting, really not! My husband died and was wounded on the battlefield. When he came back, I took the bullet for him. But the wound still worsened...

He died. He died after I performed an operation on him. From then on, I can no longer perform any operations, not even the simplest ones..." She stretched out her trembling hands, "My hands kept moving.

When I started, I thought of my husband when I saw blood... I wondered if his death was because of me. When I thought of these, I couldn't help it... Later I found out that I was pregnant, and I raised the baby at a fellow villager's house until I gave birth to the baby.

On the third day after the baby was born, I left the baby and returned to our team. I thought that after such a long time, I should adjust. But it’s not impossible... I can only work as an assistant to another doctor. This opportunity is also

I fought hard and I hope I can learn well and be useful when I go back. But in the practical class a few days ago, my hand started to shake as soon as I picked up the needle. What do you think I should do? I hope to stay.

It doesn’t matter what kind of job I have. I also hope that I can send a doctor who has better medical skills than me to return to the team and continue fighting for me. I...I don’t have the shame to go back to see my comrades. Commissar Fang, you are also a mother.

Man, if there was a way, I would not leave my children so far away. I need to stay away from the sad place for a few years to adjust myself. When I have adjusted myself, I will definitely go back. There are still my children waiting for me there.

.”

But what does this have to do with your quick request for marriage?

Fang Yun was not moved by these remarks, and looked at her with an increasingly stern look, "What's going on with applying for marriage?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Xingzi's eyes, "Marriage? I didn't apply for marriage?"

Fang Yun was stunned. This was true. It was always the man who applied for marriage, but she did not. "So, you have never thought about getting married?"

Xingzi nodded: "In the future, I will return to Liaodong to get married...unless the other party can accompany me back."

Fang Yun's face looked better, "But you should also pay attention to your words and deeds, don't let others misunderstand." She waved her hand, "You go back first. How to deal with it, you wait for the result."

Xingzi felt relieved and went out in fear.

Fang Yun's expression changed, and he looked at Xingzi's back thoughtfully. He didn't believe a word of her reasons. Moreover, she was too presumptuous, and the section chief of the publicity team would not propose marriage smoothly.

She must have misled others to a certain extent. In the final analysis, she wanted to use other people's words to make the matter of staying in the open. She didn't believe her, but she had to believe her. This at least gave herself a

The reason was to be lenient to her. This was because of the face of Lin Yutong and his wife.

Lin Yutong was so angry that her heart ached. When Fang Yun came, she was lying on the kang sulking.
