ings just happen to be like this. Xiao Zheng seems to be able to feel what she is thinking and missing. 。Xiao Jingyu's heart warmed involuntarily, but in front of the health doctor, she still didn't a...Ding Guodong didn't really want to go to Hongbao Township. In his view, having leaders from their county-level departments go down to the village was "a lot of fuss for nothing". 。Are the county-level department leaders in charge of this

Think about when Leibin was the county party secretary, the county was just a government office, and people from the townships had to treat them like their lords. 。Ding Guodong is one of the most trusted department leaders by Li Bin. Now that Xiao Zheng has come to be the county party secretary, Ding Guodong can be said to have not yet recovered from the good days of the "Li Bin era". 。So, Xiao Zheng called a meeting at eleven tonight, asking them to go to the countryside. Ding Guodong didn't take it seriously and went to meet that woman. 。If it hadn't been for the county Discipline Inspection Commission, who called from Hongbao Township to ask where he was, Ding Guodong really didn't want to go. 。Ding Guodong was on his way to Hongbao Township. The snow was falling quite peacefully at first, but suddenly the wind picked up, and the snowflakes flew around like scattered cotton. 。It looks like the snow is coming down hard again!

On the top of Red Flag Village, in a simple cave dwelling lit by a single flickering lamp, there are two small rooms. One belongs to 90-year-old Hou Yuan寬, and the other belongs to his granddaughter, Hou Xiaoning. 。The elderly have lived here for generations, witnessing the Red Army's arduous journey over mountains and valleys. They carried out land reform here, distributing fields to the people. Only then could the elderly person and his parents have a meal. 。At that time, the old man was just a teenager, and he had already decided that the good days were brought by the Red Army. 。Once, the enemy sent five detachments to encircle and suppress him. Relying on his familiarity with the mountains and waterways, he led the Red Army along a small path to break out of the encirclement. Among the Red Army who escaped safely were important commanders and leaders, who later became founding heroes of the country. 。Later, these leaders sent people from Huajing to "recognize relatives," hoping the elderly could leave this barren land and live in Huajing. 。In the 1960s and 1980s, Kyoto artists came to town, but the elderly all declined. 。He said that the Red Army fed him and his parents, preventing them from starving to death, saving their entire family. He also led the Red Army out of enemy encirclement, saving more lives. 。This is all as it should be. 。His ancestors lived here for generations, and he didn't want to leave. 。Moreover, the caves where the Red Army once lived and worked have fallen into disrepair over time. Some are dilapidated, while others are on the verge of collapse. The elderly man said these revolutionary sites hold his most cherished memories, and he is determined to protect them. As long as he draws breath, he will safeguard them. 。

The old man's son went out to work to support the family, but unfortunately had an accident and died. His daughter-in-law left their granddaughter behind and remarried; later, the old man's wife also passed away, leaving him and his granddaughter to depend on each other. 。The elderly man spends his days growing corn and raising chickens on a hillside. He paid his granddaughter's tuition, and now that she has returned home from university for the new year, she wants to spend more time with her grandfather before heading back to school. 。The elderly person has never reached out to any organization, nor has he boasted about saving the Red Army or national leaders, demanding fame and treatment. 。The old man's family, all self-reliant, were like blades of grass growing on their own land. They took responsibility for their own life and death. 。Since then, starting from the 1990s, the authorities in Huaxing knew that the elderly would not leave this place and stopped coming. 。Some newly appointed town leaders in the area have only heard that the elder had saved Red Army soldiers, and some even doubt the credibility of this legend. 。Because of this old man, he has now become almost a nuisance in the village and the township. 。The trouble is that the elderly person has repeatedly gone to the village and county to request leaders to find a way to repair those revolutionary sites, and protect those caves and fortresses. 。But as a poor county and village, even having enough to eat is a problem, where would the money come from to maintain those revolutionary sites The elders often come to the village and the town, and at first, I argued with them about it, saying: "If we don't repair them now, they will all collapse in the future!" The elders were so worried that they almost cried. 。People in the village and the countryside say: “You’re in a hurry, we are too!” 。Even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice. 。"With no money, how can we repair and maintain this vast expanse of cave dwellings" the elder said. "Doesn't your village have a car Your leaders can afford to ride in it and use gasoline. Why can't you afford to protect these revolutionary sites" The villagers replied, "The car is for the leaders' meetings and official business. The car and gasoline were approved by higher authorities. But they haven't allocated funds for repairing the cave dwelling sites! You have the ability to report it to the higher authorities!"The elder remembered the leader who had once invited him to move to Beijing, but he had resolutely chosen to stay and guard this revolutionary site. He hadn't even left his contact information when he was in Beijing. Now he wanted to get in touch but couldn't. 。Later, the old man would come to the village and township every month. He wouldn't make a fuss or complain, he just reminded the village and township of Red Flag Village on top of the mountain that there was still a revolutionary site there! But most of the time, no one paid attention. 。The office director of the countryside, Ren Yongle, is a pretty honest young man. He was also born in the countryside and after going to university in Yinzhou, he returned to his hometown to work as an official. He thought that if there was an opportunity, he wanted the town and village to become prosperous and get rid of poverty. 。Of course, after three years, the town is still the same, with no improvement or progress. 。However, Ren Yongle wasn't disappointed. When he was studying in Yinzhou, he knew that the eastern coastal areas had developed rapidly and that the country also cared about the development of the west. His hometown would definitely develop one day, it was just a matter of time. 。。The old man was really willing to tell him the story of the Red Army on the mountains in Hongbao Township back then. 。Ren Yongle, listening and listening, was also very awestruck. 。He told the old man, “When the village has money in the future, we must renovate the revolutionary sites on the mountain.” 。The old man smiled at him and said, “You are a good young man.” 。Afterward the country will be yours, and by then you will certainly help repair revolutionary sites. 。But by then, I won't be able to see it. 。Hearing the old man's sad words, Ren Yongle was also very sad. He comforted the old man: "Uncle Hou, don't worry, maybe one day they will pay attention to it and renovate all the sites on the mountain." 。“If that day ever came, I could close my eyes without worry.” 。Ren Yongle said, "Grandfather Hou, you are a long-lived person!"

At this moment, Elder Hou Yuan寬 was still unable to sleep. 。The heavy snowfall filled the elderly with deep concern. 。Granddaughter Xiaojing worried about her grandfather's health and persuaded him, "Grandpa, you should go to sleep early. Otherwise, you'll be tired tomorrow." 。“Hòu Yuánkuān, wearing his cotton-padded coat, walked to the door and peered out. He said with worry in his voice, ‘The wind has picked up again, and the snow is falling even heavier! This won’t do. I’m worried that the old cave dwelling might collapse!’ Hòu Xiǎojìng replied, “Grandpa, if it’s really going to collapse, there’s nothing we can do about it.” 。“Hòu yuán kuān què bù ràn xīn: “Bú xíng, wǒ de yào qù lǎo yáo dòng kàn kàn.” 。"The 'old cave dwelling' mentioned by Hou Yuanquan refers to the cave dwellings where the Red Army worked and lived over seventy years ago." 。After finishing his words, Hou Yuanquan buttoned up his cotton coat and walked out. 。Sun Xiaojing knew that her old man was stubborn. That old cave dwelling was his "heart and soul", he valued it more than his own life. 。If you don't let him go, Grandpa will definitely throw a tantrum. 。Sun Xiaoting hurriedly picked up the military overcoat from the bed and put it on her grandfather. 。Help him walk towards the old cave dwelling. 。

This is near the top of the mountain. The Red Army built the cave dwellings on the mountain because they were at a high vantage point, overlooking the surrounding area. They could see anything happening at first glance. 。In fact, this place is not suitable for ordinary people to live in, so all the villagers in the village, except Hou Yuan kuan, are living downstairs. 。

The whole hillside, now only Sun Xiaojing supported her grandfather towards the old cave dwelling. 。The wind was fierce and the snow heavy, making it impossible to use an umbrella. They had no choice but to trudge through the snow towards the cave dwelling. In that direction, everything was pitch black; the darkness seemed like empty eye sockets. 。If strangers saw these old cave dwellings, they might feel a chill. But Hou Yuankuan and his granddaughter Hou Xiaojing felt differently. Because they understood history, they held the place in reverence and cared for it deeply. 。The beam of the flashlight formed a large circle on the snow, wavering forward in the wind and snow. 。The granddaughter, Xiaojing, could smell the scent of snow on the mountaintop. 。This is a special flavor, also a familiar taste for Hou Xiaojing. 。Hou Xiaocheng remembered when she was a child, she also used to check the condition of the cave dwellings with her grandfather on snowy nights. 。Once upon a time, a cave dwelling collapsed during a snowstorm. At that time, Xiaoting's father was still alive. 。The next day, Grandpa and Dad used planks to support the collapsed area. They worked together, pouring concrete, bricks, and steel bars to rebuild it, basically restoring it to its original form. 。Grandfather also praised Hou Xiaojing's father's bricklaying skills. 。Later, Hou Xiaojing's father went to the city to learn the trade of a mason and worked outside to support his family. 。

I didn't expect that in the end, he lost his life because of this skill.

These memories made Hou Xiaojing's tears flow like a spring in the wind and snow. 。At this moment, only Yuan Kuan's voice rang out: "Xiaoting, these cave dwellings can't collapse anymore, they can't collapse anymore!" 。"Hòu Xiǎo jìng pulled her thoughts back from the memories and asked, “Why” Hòu Yuán kuān said, "Your dad's gone. If it collapses again, no one can help me fix it." 。In a word, Hou Xiaoping's tears welled up again, she couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, why do you have to guard this place for your whole life! Actually, going down the mountain, you could live a better life" 。"Hòu Yuánkuān Dào: 'There was once a large contingent of Red Army soldiers who came to our place, climbing over snowy mountains and grasslands, all in order to help the common people live better lives. I knew many of them personally; later on, most of them were killed in action on this mountain.'" 。Keeping watch here, is remembering them. 。For others, going down the mountain means living a good life; for Grandpa, guarding this place is like guarding a good life, because this is the red root, the red vein. 。"Grandpa, I was born here, grew up here, and want to be buried here too!" Hòu Xiǎo jìng turned her head to look at her grandfather. Suddenly, she felt that although his slightly hunched figure seemed so ordinary, it was actually incredibly great at this moment. 。Every person's physique is different, but every person with ideals and beliefs is a tall person. 。At this moment, faint cracking and creaking sounds came from the "Old Cave Dwelling". 。Hou Yuan Kuan quickened his pace: "A cave seems to be about to collapse!"ld be swept away. The car itself seemed like it might be lifted up. 。Leaders from the municipal party committee and government were all gathered here. Fifty meters away, a helicopter crashed on the l...
