Chapter 62 Chapter 61 Mom, Mom

In mid-May 1949, the civil war that had been raging for three years and was still burning seemed to heat up the atmosphere.This morning, in the principal's room of Nanjing Pharmaceutical College, Su Guanlan and two secretaries were sweating profusely, buried in the pile of official files on the table and floor.Even the electric fan cannot be used to prevent the paper from flying around.Not long ago, on April 23, Nanjing was captured by the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the regime changed hands. He, the acting principal of a "national" school, is also actively preparing to "change hands."Su Guanlan thought, well, I can finally put down the pick!He led several staff members to clean up the archives every day and was always ready for handover.

Suddenly, the secretary winked at the acting principal.Su Guanlan looked up and saw two PLA soldiers standing at the door of the office.His first thought was: Well, it's finally here.With a smile on his face, he went forward and nodded, and stretched out his right hand, of course to the soldier standing in front who was slightly shorter than him but had a solid body, dark skin, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and a broad face.At the same time, the other party also stretched out his hand, but not just his right hand, but straight arms, both hands stretched out together; instead of holding Su Guanlan's right hand, he grabbed both of his hands at once, and pulled To the chest, clenched tightly...

This unusual move completely stunned Su Guanlan.He fixed his eyes and couldn't help shouting: "Ah, Lao Lu!" Lu Ning didn't say a word, but stretched his arms to embrace Su Guanlan vigorously, and patted Su Guanlan's shoulders and back repeatedly.It was a long time before they let go of each other and pushed each other away to get a better view.The professor asked with tears in his eyes, "Old Lu, we are all much older! How many years have we not seen each other?" "Twenty years." Lu Ning paused every word. "No," Su Guanlan thought for a while, "That was still in 1929!"

"Here, my love—" Lu Ning gestured to the soldier behind him again, "Do you need an introduction?" Only then did Su Guanlan see clearly that standing behind Lao Lu was a female soldier.Because the other party's hair was short, the military uniform was plain, and her skin was dark and rough, Su Guanlan even regarded her as a security guard.This time the identification took longer, a full one or two minutes; finally, he murmured: "You, you, are you, Ah Luo?" "Yes, Mr. Su." Ah Luo gave a military salute, "It is said that the nobleman forgets things, but you still recognized me."

"You were only in your teens at that time, right? In the next twenty years, women changed the most..." "Don't explain," Ah Luo said angrily, "Just say I'm too old to recognize!" "But I recognized it." "Yes," Lu Ning teased his wife, "It means you are not old yet!" "Old Lu, Ah Luo," Su Guanlan said with great emotion, "I never thought that you two would meet and become husband and wife." "There is a saying that 'no coincidence is not a book'!" Ah Luo smiled. Lu Ning was originally the deputy director of the field army's logistics department. He was injured during the march and was not fit to go to the front line.It happened that the troops were passing through Jiangsu, so they left him in Nanjing and became a member of the Military Control Committee, responsible for the restoration of colleges and scientific institutions, and also personally served as a military representative of several schools and research institutes.Liu Rumei, who worked as the head nurse in a field hospital, was left behind to take care of her husband.When Lu Ning researched the archives of colleges and universities, he discovered that the acting principal of Nanjing Pharmaceutical College was actually Su Guanlan!He checked the list of faculty and staff of the School of Pharmacy, and found Ye Yuhan's name again.He pulled his wife into the jeep: "Hurry up, get in the car and follow me to the pharmacy!"

After hearing the whole story, Ah Luo said, "Let's make a phone call first, and let them prepare." "Who should be prepared, Su Guanlan? No, I just want to surprise him." On the way, Lu Ning warned, "Oh, don't mention Ding Jieqiong under any circumstances." "I still don't understand this? I'm a woman." Then, the scene just happened. After talking in the principal's office for a while, Lu Ning got up and patted Su Guanlan on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's visit the school. I personally serve as the military representative of four colleges and two research institutes, and I want to set up the 'residence' in the College of Pharmacy. "

Su Guanlan shook her head straight: "In recent years, the school has been pretty bad." "It's not your responsibility. Besides, I'm just here to see what's wrong! We've fought the world, and now we're going to rule the world—oh, how are you going to let me visit?" "Let's look at the office building first, don't you want to put the 'resident' here?" "No, I want to see the biologics lab first." Su Guanlan looked at Lu Ning.Obviously, the military representative knows a lot about things. The three of them walked along the avenue for a while. The stone tables and benches in the woods beside the road aroused Lu Ning's interest and suggested to sit there.After sitting down, he exclaimed: "Hey, the scenery is good, even better than Qi University back then!"

"This is Jiangnan," Su Guanlan said. Lu Ning took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and looked at Su Guanlan: "Let's be honest, when my wife and I came to the medicine school, we first wanted to see you, and second, we wanted to see Yuhan—she was the one I was in Qi My old classmate from the big medical school is also kind to me." "Is it in your favor?" "That time twenty years ago, just ten minutes before you rescued me, Yuhan saved me even more—why did you say 'more'? Because if I hadn't met you at that time, I would have been in great danger, but still It is possible to escape; but if there is no Yuhan, I will die!" When Lu Ning recalled what happened twenty years ago, he was still very emotional.

"Guan Lan, you know I was carrying a gun at the time." Lu Ning said, taking a few puffs of cigarettes, trying to control his excitement, "I will never let them capture alive. I will keep the last bullet To myself——if that's the case, yes, it will be very tragic, but I will die with regret, because I was too young at that time, and I could do a lot for the revolution; at least, I can't talk and laugh with you here today!" During the war, in Songyang Town near Kunming, Su Guanlan witnessed Ye Yuhan donating blood to save the life of an American Flying Tiger.Now he knows that it was definitely not accidental; under Ye Yuhan's taciturn and fragile appearance, there is deep determination and courage like raw jade and gold...

"Tell me, Guan Lan," Lu Ning said with bright eyes, and changed the topic. "How is your relationship with Yuhan?" "Colleague relationship," Su Guanlan avoided Lu Ning's gaze, "Yes, ordinary colleagues." "Colleague relationship," Lu Ning frowned, "general colleagues?" Ah Luo stretched her husband's shirt.The military representative thought for a while, then changed the subject again: "There is one more thing, you probably don't know, Yuhan has already become a mother..." "When did she get married?" Su Guanlan felt an indescribable feeling in her chest, like knocking over a bottle of five flavors.

"No, she's not married." "What did you say?" Su Guanlan thought she had heard wrong. "I said, Yuhan has been living alone and never married." Lu Ning talked eloquently.Talking about Beiping in 1946, talking about Dongchang Hutong and "Jinyuan", talking about "F Building", talking about the little girl who was regarded as "ape", talking about the raging fire, and the urgent Hold Simon Czerny tightly, until the "old wood" is burned together... Ah Ro burst into tears when he heard of Lao Mu's death.In fact, she has heard this story many times. "Yes, that's it, Yuhan just did this as a 'mother' and had a daughter." Lu Ning sighed softly, and continued to talk about Ye Yuhan's words on the eve of being forced to leave Beiping in that unhurried tone , "I only have one thing to worry about..." "What are you worried about?" Su Guanlan's eyes were moist, "It must be because of the little star!" Lu Ning took a deep look at Su Guanlan and nodded. "Then, then," Su Guanlan looked at Lu Ning intently, "Little Xingxing, what happened to this child?" "We sent people to Yan'an to send the children to a school for the offspring of martyrs and the children of cadres. As far as Yan'an is concerned, the conditions of this school are the best. I am on the front line, and Ah Luo often visits She, take her home on the rest day." Su Guanlan's tears welled up in her eyes.He suddenly got up and stretched out his right hand: "Ah Luo, thank you." "Don't you thank me?" Lu Ning laughed loudly, "In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, I should be in front of Ah Luo." "Thank you too, Old Lu." Su Guanlan stretched out her left hand, "Hey, how is this kid, Little Xingxing, at school?" "Homework is always in the top few." "Great! What does she like to say when she's with you?" "She always asks about her mother, and wants to see her soon—the mother the child talks about is Yuhan." Su Guanlan was bewildered and speechless. "There's still something else, I'll let you know as a side note." Lu Ning thought about it again, and said thoughtfully, "Yuhan is a very strong woman, but she shed tears once in front of me." On that unusual summer night in 1946, Ye Yuhan choked up and said, "I will live alone for the rest of my life. But I want to have a child. So, for Little Xingxing, please be sure..." "How do you answer?" Su Guanlan stared at Lu Ning. "Me? I was surprised at the time, and I could even say that I was deeply shocked. I stared at her and Yuhan with my mouth gaping; How do you know that you will be single for the rest of your life!'” Su Guanlan listened without saying a word... Lu Ning exchanged glances with his wife, got up and said, "Okay, let's go to the biological agent room." The plane of the biological agent laboratory is L-shaped, which is customarily called "L Building". It is located among green trees and surrounded by several flower beds.In front of the gate is a one-meter-high cement step.As soon as the three of them approached the steps, Ye Yuhan appeared, greeted the door with a smile on her face, and stretched out her hands towards Lu Ning from a distance... In this world, Su Guanlan may be the person who is most familiar with Ye Yuhan.Especially in the past three years, the two of them have been getting along as "colleagues". It should be said that they have become more familiar with each other. Whether in fact or in Su Guanlan's mind, Ye Yuhan has always been so short and thin, with a pale complexion and even hair. It's tiny grayish yellow... It wasn't until today, at this moment, that Su Guanlan realized that she should look up to Ye Yuhan! "Hello, Yuhan." Lu Ning quickly stepped up the steps, "How did you know we were coming?" "Secretary Peng from the principal's office called." "Yuhan, time flies so fast, it will be three years in a blink of an eye!" Lu Ning said, holding Ye Yuhan's thin hands tightly. "Yes, it's been three years." Ye Yuhan said in a steady tone, and stretched out her hand to Luo, "This is Mrs. Lu, Liu Rumei, right?" "Oh, what kind of madam is not madam!" Lu Ning laughed, "It's my wife, my wife, let's call her Ah Luo." "I've heard Lu Ning praise you for your good name and better person." Ye Yuhan smiled, "I saw you today, it's true." Ye Yuhan shook hands with "Principal Su" again, and then returned to Lu Ning, impatiently asking: "Lu Ning, where is the child, where is Little Xingxing?" Lu Ning and A Luo didn't expect it, and neither did Ye Yuhan. It was Su Guanlan who answered first: "The child is always in the top of the schoolwork in a school in Yan'an!"
