In February 1950, the New Year's bell rang, and the streets and alleys of Chengdu were bathed in a strong New Year's flavor. In the busy pace, people got rid of the sorrows of the past year, and smiles filled every family. This is the first New Year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and after decades of war, the people can finally breathe in a peaceful and stable environment, enjoy the joy of the New Year and the warmth of family reunion.
As the New Year approaches, shops in Chengdu are gradually closing, shopkeepers are returning home to celebrate, and the streets are filled with joyful atmosphere. However, on Sanqiao South Street, a small restaurant is unusually busy, still opening its doors to welcome customers.
A group of PLA soldiers came to this small restaurant and asked, "Boss, what kind of food do you have here?"The proprietress smiled and reported the name of the dish, and one of the leaders of the People's Liberation Army nodded and said, "Boss, come to a dish and a soup." ”
The proprietress was stunned when she heard this, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and she choked up and said to the People's Liberation Army: "Please wait for a few advanced private rooms, the meal will be ready soon." ”
This small restaurant, called Hard Meal, has been operating on the streets of Chengdu for 20 years. Originally, the restaurant was founded by a man named Che Yaoxian. However, Che Yaoxian disappeared suddenly, and his wife Huang Tixian took over the management rights and insisted on running the business.
The proprietress Huang Tixian, who has taken over the restaurant for nearly ten years, although she knows that her husband may no longer be alive, she has never given up her commitment to her husband and continues to run this "hard meal".
In fact, Che Yaoxian's identity is not an ordinary businessman, but an underground Communist Party member in Chengdu. The purpose of his establishment of the "Hard Meal" was, on the one hand, to provide a resting place for revolutionary comrades, and on the other hand, to provide a safe place for underground party members to hand over information.
Che Yaoxian designed two sets of business systems for "hard meals", and for ordinary citizens, ordering food is ordering food;For underground party members, the code triggered another set of business systems of "hard meals". This ingenious system allowed underground party members to enjoy their meals while carrying out revolutionary activities safely.
The relationship between Che Yaoxian and Huang Tixian is sincere and firm. In those days, the opportunity to be able to fall in love freely was extremely scarce. The husband and wife support each other and face the difficulties of life together.
Che Yaoxian was originally a child of a rich family, but in the war years, it was difficult for the small rich family to protect themselves. He became an apprentice in a trade and hoped to inherit his father's business after completing his studies. Seeing his troubles, the proprietress took the initiative to find a nearby girl for him, hoping that he could stay.
After observing, the proprietress found that Che Yaoxian often looked at the grocery store across the street, which was the busy place of the Huang family's girl, Huang San's girl. The proprietress understood and understood that Che Yaoxian had a good impression of Miss Huang San. The Huang family and "Hard Meal" have always had a good relationship, so the proprietress found the Huang family to discuss, hoping that the two families could get married.
After hearing this, Huang's father said that Huang San's girl had her own ideas and never listened to her family. If Che Yaoxian is interesting, pursue it yourself. The proprietress told Che Yaoxian about the situation, and he expressed his determination to fight hard. After a period of contact, Che Yaoxian took the initiative to propose marriage, and Miss Huang San readily agreed, and the two became husband and wife. Che Yaoxian chose a name for his wife, officially called Huang Tixian.
In 1928, Che Yaoxian, who had been influenced by proletarian ideology, joined the Communist Party, and in order to support the revolution of underground party members in Chengdu, he founded the "Hard Meal". However, this aroused suspicion among the Kuomintang. One day, Kuomintang agents brought people to the store, ordered a search of the store, and interrogated Che Yaoxian: "Does it have anything to do with the Communist Party?"Confess leniently!”
Che Yaoxian firmly denied it, pointing out that the name of the restaurant, "Hard Meal", was inspired by Mr. Sun Yat-sen's "The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard". The spy was speechless, and the search of the store did not find any flaws, so he had no choice but to leave.
In 1940, Che Yaoxian was involved in the "rice snatching incident" created by the Kuomintang,* and was imprisoned, beginning a years-long prison life. In front of **, in order not to worry his wife, he only told her that she had something to do and couldn't go home in a short time. Huang Tixian firmly remembered her husband's words, adhered to the "hard meal", and waited for her husband's return day by day.
However, in prison, Che Yao first faced the coercion and temptation of the Kuomintang, and he was beaten into a trick, but he always persevered. On August 18, 1946, after the Kuomintang decided that Che Yaoxian was useless, they secretly executed him and a group of underground party members, and the young and heroic revolutionary fell.
In 1954, Huang Tixian died of illness, and finally reunited with her husband in another world after 14 years. Although this heroic couple is happily married, they get together less and leave more, and the two have been married for more than 20 years, but they don't actually spend much time together. Let's pay tribute to this pair of great revolutionaries!With the love of sticking to their original intentions and supporting each other, they have written a legendary history together.
